Fan Zhong narrates from the perspective of the protagonist Hong (Xiao).
Fu Gui Jr. advanced step by step in the torrent of fate and eventually became the chief chef of the Qing Dynasty, but at the last moment he realized that "there are real feelings in the world" and resolutely decided to pursue his true self ... Among them, Fu Gui Jr. and Emperor Guangxu had a pure friendship and a flying saucer; The complex feelings of being enemies and friends with Xiao Li's father-in-law; Fighting against the evil forces headed by Lord K, the plot is ups and downs.
In addition, this cartoon has many characters, each with its own characteristics, which is well worth seeing.
(1) Old Red Head-"I will finally honor my ancestors."
Xiao's background is Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China. Galeries Lafayette and the emperor fled to Xi 'an, and they needed a new accompanying chef. Immediately, a shocking conspiracy was involved. The political struggle between the reformists represented by the emperor and the conservative evil forces represented by Lafayette, Hong's grandfather Lao Hongtou became the victim of this political struggle.
The murderer who was framed as an emperor and poisoned. Before his arrest, he was delighted to think that he would succeed in his career, and was even forced to leave his only grandson.
Old Red Head was just an ordinary people in China, Chichiwa. In order to live a good life, he naturally needs to seize every opportunity to brag about his Hongjia cuisine in front of Xiao Li's father-in-law, and to introduce his Hongjia cuisine to the plaque of Emperor Qianlong.
The curse came from his mouth, and it was these words that aroused the plot of father-in-law Xiao Li. The plaque given to him by Emperor Qianlong now became his death reminder. Ironically, this used to be his greatest glory.
Contrary to the idea that Lao Hongtou wants to achieve something in his official career, in reality he is a conservative in thought and action. In the first episode, Fu Gui Jr. mentioned the need to transform Hongjia cuisine, but Hong Tou disagreed. He thought Fu Gui Jr. was not pragmatic enough.
The later story is just the opposite. It was Fu Gui Jr. who cooked a vegetarian pig's head meat and solved the urgent need. Later, Lao Hongtou put forward his own old prescription for treating alopecia at Galeries Lafayette, but the effect was still not good, which led Galeries Lafayette to kill another group of people.
When I read this story when I was a child, I only felt that the old red head had changed into a picture of a long face, which made me very angry. I will taste it when I grow up. Isn't this a conflict between old and new ideas? If you can only cook this life dish by menu, what should you do if you encounter "vegetarian pig's head meat" that is not on the menu?
(2) Grandpa Xiao Li-"God, it's so painful."
In this animation, another popular character is father-in-law Xiao Li.
His relationship with Fu Gui Jr. can run through the whole animation. They will intrigue each other in their attitude towards the emperor,
But you can fight together to feed Lafayette; You can be jealous of flying saucers (mainly Xiao Li's father)
We can play a trick on Jin Daya from the beginning, then Xiaolizi is bought by Jin Daya, destroyed by George W. Fu Gui, and finally saved by George W. Fu Gui, and finally help George W. Fu Gui defeat Jin Daya's "poppy" plot together ... Then, in order to meet his parents, he chooses to become the enemy of George W. Fu Gui again and abolish George W. Fu Gui's golden finger.
The relationship between Xiao Li's father-in-law and Xiao Fu Gui seems to be interchangeable at any time, but the transformation of roles is relatively reasonable.
In the early stage, the contradiction between Fu Li and Emperor Guangxu was that he had to cooperate to support Lafayette. When dealing with Jin Daya, Xiao Li's father-in-law took his first step. Although he was betrayed by Jin Daya, he gave up the temptation of 102 thousand.
Later, facing the whereabouts of his parents, he had to bow to power and reality and betrayed his best friend. It can be said that Xiao Lizi is also a complicated figure.
An interesting foreshadowing is that Xiao Lizi first helped Fu Gui take a bath, popularized how chefs usually take a bath, and used swan feathers to remove dust.
In the last sentence, Xiao Lizi did help little Fu Gui to dust off the swan feathers, but this was the last time he took a bath with advanced potions. At this time, Xiao Lizi also shed tears. It can be seen that Xiao Lizi has grown up, and he is really a friend of Xiao Fu Gui. But he failed to save his friend in the end.
Often animation comes to this scene, perhaps it is the moment when the protagonist reaches the peak and defeats the bad guys. At this moment, the protagonist's achievements run through the goals of the whole drama "Golden Kitchenware" and "Chief Chef", but it is as ridiculous and pathetic as a mirror.
(3) Guangxu and Cixi-"Dear Dad" and "Useless Things"
The relationship between Cixi and Guangxu is a bit complicated. Guangxu is not only the adopted son of Cixi, but also the nephew of Cixi. However, friends who have read comics should know that Guangxu called Cixi "dear father".
According to records, Princess De Ling, a female official of Empress Dowager Cixi, wrote in "Two Years of Qing Palace": "The emperor and Yu and others all called the Empress Dowager a male." It can be seen that the names of the characters in this cartoon are still fastidious about history.
But unlike history, Guangxu here does regard Cixi as a "close relative". Judging from the fact that he gave his life to save his "father" in front of bandits, he did not think about usurping power, but really dedicated himself to the country and family.
In the play, Emperor Guangxu was literate, and when Fu Gui Jr. was faced with the problem of "flowering on the tree", Emperor Guangxu could immediately think of a solution. Xiao also said: "bean sprouts have a high culture" (Xiao didn't know Guangxu's identity at first, so he was called Guangxu bean sprouts).
He's still responsible. After doing the so-called "bad thing", he also readily accepted Xiao Fugui's punishment. Comparatively speaking, Galeries Lafayette has never been soft in taking people's cream. He had an ideal, never forgot reform and reform, and made the last blog for his empire that should have been buried long ago.
But as an emperor, he is an incompetent person. He couldn't and never thought that the real problem to be solved was that Cixi and Lord K had neither courage nor strength, and they were soft-hearted. How could they not end up in Yingtai?
?
Cixi is the real biggest villain in the whole play. Of course, she also has a lovely side, such as the establishment of the "Cooking Competition Fair Committee" at the suggestion of UFO.
But many times, she has always been the biggest obstacle for the leading group. In order to survive, she can escape to Xi' an regardless of the lives of Beijingers; In order to eat meat, regardless of the life and death of their own chefs; Because the hair has fallen out, it is necessary to kill people to "scare away this white tiger with blood gas"; Because the skin is not good, kill it; Because the emperor's "dragon cake" is delicious, she bears a grudge ... She can easily starve the "son" who called him "dear father", easily kill her rescuer, the old Chinese doctor, and even sacrifice thousands of people for her own selfish desires.
Some people say: "At least when judging dishes, she is fair", and this so-called fairness is only based on her extravagant satisfaction under the supreme power. After all, she only needs to eat delicious food. What's the difference as to which chef cooks the food?
Unlike Fu Gui's grandfather and grandson, Guangci's "father-son" relationship is more subtle. The relationship between these two groups reflects the influence of new culture, new ideas and new technologies on old culture and old ideas. The difference lies in the success of George W. Fu Gui. His peeler, his range hood, his solar greenhouse and his boat chisel were all used to divert water to resist the wind and waves, and finally really helped him solve the current predicament.
On the other hand, Emperor Guangxu failed. It seems that he will never have a chance to win, and the country can only continue to fall. The contrast of "one right and one wrong" shows that "old" is reactionary and decadent, and it needs to be eliminated before it can be reborn. On the other hand, it is the embodiment of family affection. Although there are contradictions between the rich and the rich, there is no doubt about their pure family ties, and grandchildren often work together to tide over the difficulties.
Guangci's "father and son" are different. Guangxu was born a dutiful son, but Cixi was neither a loving mother nor strict father, but a monster distorted by power. When she is happy, she can enjoy something to eat in Guangxu; Once she thinks Guangxu may replace herself, even if it's just her own feelings, she will be furious. No wonder she lost her hair. It's hard for her to accept. She's actually scared. She knows that she is "old" and will be "replaced" sooner or later, and her old power will be replaced by a new generation.
Even if her hair can grow back, her skin can be smooth again. After all, she is old. The poor "old" monster can only make those noisy moans.
I just don't know that this "old" monster really became a loner in the end. Has she ever felt a trace of regret and desolation?
(d) Bees are swimming in the butterfly dance-small butterflies are flying.
Xiao Feidie is the heroine of this play and Fu Gui's best helper. Many crises in Fu Gui were solved by flying saucers. It can be said that in a long story, the help of Xiaofei often gives people a tortuous feeling. As long as the small flying butterfly can move, the audience often has a sense of peace of mind.
When Fu Gui Jr. was framed as the murderer of Lafayette, it was the UFO who discovered that his father Xiao Li was hiding something, and finally joined hands with the emperor to reveal the truth. (Of course, she knew that the murderer was not Xiao, partly because the murderer was herself. )
Later, she understood that it was not easy for Galeries Lafayette to listen to opinions, so she wanted Galeries Lafayette to participate in the football match, so that she could feel how uncomfortable it would be if unfair competition occurred. Finally, Galeries Lafayette sincerely hopes to set up a fair committee.
The image of a brave and resourceful chivalrous woman is presented to the audience. She is not only a good partner and helper of the protagonist, but also a think tank of the protagonist.
Finally, it is even more regrettable that Xiao Fei has become a tool for political transactions. Even if you are resourceful and travel westward, how can you stop the flood of this era?
