“Boss, we want one dish and one soup
In February 1950, a restaurant called "Hard Meal" came to a few strange guests, and now that New China has been established, the people's living standards have gradually improved, but these people after the proprietress reported the signature dishes in the restaurant, but vaguely said that they wanted one dish and one soup. The words of a few people only need one dish and one soup made the other people present couldn't help but be surprised, but the proprietress showed an excited look after hearing it.
Who are these strange guests, why does the boss not laugh angrily after hearing such a special order, and what kind of untold story is there?
In 1930, a restaurant called "Hard Meal" was officially opened on the streets of ChengduIn such a troubled era of the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the birth of a restaurant is not a big deal, but it still attracts a certain amount of attention. “Say that you have something to do with the Communist PartyThe Kuomintang spies, who had been lurking for many days, finally came to the door one day
They took advantage of the darkness to come to the Endeavor Restaurant and blocked the boss Che Yaoxian in it, trying to find any clues from here, they searched around the restaurant while asking
I think you're mistaken, our husband and wife are ordinary people, we have been working in Chengdu before, and then we saved some money and came out to do it ourselves, there is no problem。Che Yaoxian watched them rudely turn over the furnishings in the store, and spoke calmly, but despite what he said, the spies did not let their guard down.
Che Yaoxian's words were indeed not lying, the spy had already found out the previous background of the two, but there was a gap in the middle, and no one knew what he was doing。His wife Huang Ti was a native of Chengdu first, and she helped the family run a grocery store on weekdays, and because she was the third daughter in the family, everyone called her Huang San.
Che Yaoxian was sent by his family to the "Yishengrong" shop as an apprentice when he was 14 years old, Che Yaoxian's poor parents were old and could no longer support Che Yaoxian's tuition, so they sent him out to work for others to support himself and his family.
After working in Yishengrong for many years, he finally achieved the position of Mr. Bookkeeper with his cleverness, hard work and certain knowledge,**Shi Niang likes such a worry-free apprentice very much, but as time goes by, Che Yaoxian's age is getting older and older, and Shi Niang has the idea of telling him a local family matter.
Huang San Girl on the opposite side of the store became her choice, but all this was based on her seeing that Che Yao was interested in Huang San Girl,"My sister will help you go and say goodbye to Miss Huang San
Che Yao couldn't help blushing when he saw his thoughts being seen by his sisterHow could he not want to, but the situation at home was not enough for him to have the confidence to marry Huang San, so he suppressed this thought and wanted to wait and see。But what he waited for first was the "Baolu Movement", and under the influence of the movement ideology, Che Yao first decided to abandon business and join Rong.
In 1911, Sichuan set off the "Road Protection Movement", many patriots enthusiastically participated, "humble did not dare to forget the national worries" Che Yaoxian has been silently concerned about national affairs, just the outbreak of this movement made Che Yaoxian's inner flame more and more strong
So in 1912, Che Yao first joined the Sichuan Army, In the later warlord melee, Che Yaoxian repeatedly made military exploits, plus he had a certain amount of knowledge, and was soon appreciated by his superiors and promoted to company commander.
It was in this year that Che Yao first mustered up the courage to let Shi Niang go to Huang's house to propose, and Huang San also noticed the bookkeeper who looked like a white scholar in the opposite shop early, and she had a strange feeling when he helped him calculate the accounts in the store that time. In 1918, two people who loved each other came together with the blessings of family and friends.
In the days that followed, Huang Ti first followed Che Yaoxian to fight everywhere, and he killed all sides on the battlefield, and she silently supported her in the rearHowever, with the passage of time, Che Yaoxian's experience and thinking changed, and after Chiang Kai-shek staged a coup d'état in 1927, he resolutely resigned from the army and left the army
After that, the spies couldn't find out again, they only knew that Che Yao had traveled around first, but what he had done specifically, and now he didn't know what his identity or party was.
After disappearing for three years, he suddenly appeared in Chengdu with his wife and opened a restaurant like this, which inevitably attracted the attention of the spiesOrdinary people?Then why is the name of your store called 'Hard Meal', and what kind of food is called 'Revolutionary Rice', how do you explain this?
Che Yaoxian is still calm: "'".The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard. It seems that you have completely forgotten what Mr. Sun saidThe spies blocked by this sentence had nothing to say, and after the search, they really didn't find any problems, and after the search, the group of spies looked at their husband and wife angrily and the wicked man glanced at them before leaving unhappily
After waiting for them to leave, Che Yaoxian breathed a sigh of relief, and he took his wife Huang Tixian, who had just been frightened, into his arms to comfort him, but his heart was surging,"The agents are already suspicious, and it seems that they need to be more careful
Such an upright and upright person who puts his mind on the bright side is naturally a staunch Communist Party memberIn the three years that he "disappeared", Che Yaoxian traveled around with Huang Tixian, and successively went to Shanghai, Beiping, Shenyang, North Korea, Japan and other places to inspect and learn Xi, just to seek a way to save the country
During this period, he learned about Marxism, came into contact with the ideas of the Communist Party, he was deeply infected by the spirit of the Communist Party, and he knew that he had finally found a road that belonged to China, so in 1929, Che Yao first devoted himself to the revolution and secretly joined the Communist Party
In March 1940, the Kuomintang created the "rice robbery incident" in Chengdu and placed the source of this incident on the head of the Communist Party, and a false accusation set off a ** movement
Che Yaoxian also became a thorn in the side of the Kuomintang because of a series of revolutionary activities he participated in before, and they took this opportunity to arrest Che Yaoxian "openly".
Because of the arrest, Che Yaoxian only came to explain to his wife that he must run the restaurant well, and then he was taken away, and this time the removal caused Huang Tixian to not be able to hear from her husband for ten years.
No matter how the situation changed, Huang Tixian still ran the restaurant every day, cooked cheap and affordable meals for the people according to their previous agreement, and provided free meals and contact places for revolutionary comrades, Huang Tixian has been waiting for her husband to come back, waiting for that familiar code.
One day in 1950 several guests walked into the restaurant,"Boss, what kind of specialties do you have?？"Huang Tixian enthusiastically introduced them," he saidGive us a dish and a soup. The chestnut roast chicken you said is braised and then added with millet spicy。Hearing this, Huang Tixian couldn't help but redden.
She tried to calm down for fear that others would see the abnormality," she saidOkay, a few guests will come with me to the private room upstairs。She was excited to take people to a specific room, which was usually rarely visitedHuang Tixian never took the initiative to guide guests to this room, because it was always reserved for "them".
"One dish, one soup", "braised and spicy" are the secret codes of the underground party's notice and contact, at the beginning, Che Yaoxian opened this restaurant to cover his identity in order to better complete the task, and during the day they normally provided meals for the people and revolutionary comrades who came from afar
Say "one dish and one soup" Che Yaoxian and his wife will provide them with free meals, and "braised and millet spicy" represents the red spirit and revolutionary spirit
Che Yaoxian relied on his previous position in the Sichuan army to develop many revolutionaries, and also relied on the "hard meal" to rescue many revolutionaries, and provided a large amount of funds for organizing the movement.
Do you know my husband Cha Yaoxian, I haven't been able to hear from him。She hadn't heard such a code for ten years, and now that she finally had hope, she couldn't wait to ask the other party. “Sister Huang is sorry that we are late, Comrade Che Yaoxian, he has been sacrificing for four years
Che Yaoxian was imprisoned by the Kuomintang for six years, during which they tortured Che Yaoxian to extract confessions, coercion and inducement, hoping to learn more about the whereabouts and intelligence of the Communist Party from him, but Che Yaoxian did not mention these things, and at the same time he actively fought against the Kuomintang in prison and established a temporary party branch.
In the past six years, Che Yaoxian has been tortured, but his faith has never waveredIn 1946, the Kuomintang felt that he was of little use, so they transferred him and other communists to Songlinpo in Chongqing, where they were secretly killed。Huang Ti first heard the news and collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly.
After that, she cheered up again and continued to run the hard meal, which has the common memories of her and her husband, which is their common and precious property, until 1954, when the 58-year-old Huang Tixian still could not hold up and follow Che Yaoxian
I am willing to sacrifice my blood to the soil in exchange for eternal peace in China. The code of "one dish, one soup" has since disappeared, because peace has enveloped the land, and the motherland has crossed that dark moment.
