  "The purely China-made ARJ21-700 aircraft made its first commercial flight today" and "Domestic regional aircraft ARJ21-700 put into commercial operation" & HELIP; … On June 28th, 2016, the ARJ21-700 aircraft was put into operation for the first time, which was the first jet regional aircraft with independent intellectual property rights developed in strict accordance with international airworthiness regulations. It is no longer a dream to let domestic regional aircraft soar in the blue sky, and the ARJ21-700 aircraft has truly realized "Made in China".

  It has been 14 years since the establishment of the ARJ21-700 aircraft in 2002. Many people don’t know that there is such a young team behind the ARJ21-700 aircraft that shocked and made the world proud. They have been fighting for the civil aircraft industry in China for 14 years, unswervingly and never wavering. They are the ARJ21 Aircraft Project Management Department of Comac Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute (hereinafter referred to as ARJ21 Project Department).

  As the engineering management department of the new regional aircraft project, the ARJ21 project department has 18 staff members, including 13 young employees, who are the backbone of the department and have made painstaking efforts for the successful development of this aircraft. "Capable and efficient, able to chew hard bones" is their positioning for themselves.

  The road to obtaining evidence is difficult to overcome. "A thousand threads" in the sky penetrate into "a needle" on the ground.

  "Since the establishment of the ARJ21-700 aircraft in 2002, the number of designers has increased from more than 700 to more than 2,000 now; Office space from a simple building to today’s research and development center of more than 1200 acres; The management system of civil aircraft development has gone from lack to basic perfection; Civil aircraft development team construction and system construction from scratch; The model has been developed from a single ARJ21 aircraft to a parallel C919 aircraft, with branch lines and trunk lines developed at the same time, which shows that China’s civil aircraft industry has been paid more and more attention by the state … …” Chen Xinghua of ARJ21 Project Department tells about the changes in the past 14 years.

  In April 2006, the project changed from detailed design to full-scale trial production; On December 21, 2007, the first ARJ21-700 aircraft was assembled and rolled off the assembly line in Shanghai, and successfully made its first flight on November 28, 2008. In Chen Xinghua’s view, this marks that the domestic aircraft has finally changed from a grand blueprint to a beautiful reality.

  "When the plane began to taxi, from low speed to high speed, when the landing gear of the plane was lifted, the plane took off, and the heart hanging in the throat suddenly landed. Our plane flew, and it was really exciting at that time." Wang Fei, director of ARJ21 Project Department, recalled.

  After completing the first flight, the ARJ21 project still faces a lot of tedious airworthiness verification work. In 2014, it was a critical period for the ARJ21 project to obtain evidence (type certificate awarded by the Civil Aviation Administration of China), and it was also a bottleneck period for technical research and test flight. "The evidence collection work of the ARJ21 project has entered the countdown, involving all aspects of the project development work. It can be said that there are thousands of lines in the sky and a needle on the ground." Wang Fei said.

  How to thread "a thousand threads" into "a needle"? Under the leadership of Wang Fei, members of the ARJ21 Project Department seized the main line of seaworthiness clause closure, decomposed the whole task of evidence collection, sorted out 4,798 side tasks, implemented responsibilities layer by layer, kept a close eye on the whole task, and put each "line" in a down-to-earth manner.

  Two days before obtaining evidence, Wang Fei participated in the ARJ21-700 flight experience. "I accompanied the model engineers to board the ARJ21 new turbofan regional aircraft that I participated in the development and worked hard for for ten years. I was so excited! Excited! I feel extremely proud and proud! When it is delivered for operation next year, friends and family can travel with confidence! " This is not only the voice of Wang Fei, but also the voice of everyone in the ARJ21 project department.

  The ARJ21 project department has been adhering to the concept of "all around evidence collection, all for evidence collection and all services for evidence collection", and finally completed the long flight test for six years on December 30, 2014 and won the type certificate, which means that China’s first jet regional aircraft has taken a solid step towards the delivery and operation, and obtained the "admission ticket" to participate in civil air transport activities.

  The first plane was successfully delivered during the delivery trip.

  "With the success of ARJ21-700, I have also become an engineer with multiple tasks from a young boy who just entered the company." Liu Wenfeng witnessed the growth of ARJ21-700, and so did ARJ21-700.

  In 2015, the ARJ21-700 aircraft launched a route demonstration flight, and Liu Wenfeng organized hundreds of employees of the flight academy to have a boarding experience. "From the pre-event planning, to the personnel statistics, to the final boarding of personnel, I seriously considered every detail."

  It is Liu Wenfeng’s wish to let as many people as possible participate in the experience and let ordinary designers take the plane designed by themselves. "After the event, listening to all kinds of good news from everyone’s mouth, all the hard work has vanished. After many years, I will still feel excited when I think of this event."

  Before every major milestone, the ARJ21 project department is the busiest time, and before delivery, it is no exception. Liu Wenfeng told reporters, "It is very common for us to work overtime all night. Many people stay up all night for several days, taking the office as their home and eating and living in the unit until the problem is completely solved."

  For a long time, the ARJ21 project department implemented the 611 working system. The so-called 611 working system is a high-intensity working mode of working 6 days a week and 11 hours a day, and sometimes even 711.

  "Every day’s work seems to be in ‘ Fight ’ It is tense and challenging. Although it is hard, it is worthwhile to watch the ARJ21 aircraft succeed step by step. " Huang Erli of ARJ21 Project Department said.

  On November 29th, 2015, the ARJ21-700 aircraft was officially delivered to Chengdu Airlines, which indicated that China had completed the whole process of jet regional aircraft design, trial production, test flight, evidence collection, production and delivery, and had the capability of developing jet regional aircraft and airworthiness certification.

  Do not forget your initiative mind continues to build domestic aircraft business cards.

  On June 28th, 2016, the commercial operation of ARJ21-700 aircraft marked that the first jet regional aircraft independently developed by China officially stood on the stage of civil aviation market. This is a wonderful turn from dream to reality, which means a new starting point.

  Regarding the next step, Wang Fei said that the ARJ21 project department will organize a comprehensive design optimization to further improve the flight performance and ride comfort of the aircraft, and comprehensively enhance the market competitiveness of the aircraft, and carry out serial development according to the diversified needs of customers.

  "We hope that the ARJ21-700 aircraft will become an aircraft that airlines love to buy, pilots and crew love to fly, and passengers love to sit."

  "We hope that the ARJ21 plane will fly better and better in the blue sky of the motherland and fly to all parts of the world to provide safe, convenient and comfortable services for everyone’s travel."

  "We hope that the domestic civil aircraft industry can lead the development of the country’s high-end equipment manufacturing industry, promote the common prosperity of the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and make new and greater contributions to the transformation and upgrading of the national economy."

  "We will make China’s civil aircraft industry bigger and stronger, and jointly explore the blue ocean of the civil aviation market with international civil aircraft giants."

  … …

  In 2014, when General Secretary of the Supreme Leader inspected China Commercial Aircraft Corporation, he said, "China’s aircraft manufacturing industry has gone through a difficult, bumpy and tortuous course, and now it is stepping from scratch, with a good momentum and a good start. I hope you will persevere and be down-to-earth. I have high hopes for you." He told the person in charge of the enterprise: "China’s large aircraft industry has taken another step in the long March, and we must have our own large aircraft."

  "Driven by the spirit of the important speech of the Supreme Leader General Secretary, the aircraft independently developed by China has become a new business card that highlights the strength of China’s equipment manufacturing." This is not only the belief of Comac in China, but also the expectation of all China people for domestic large aircraft. (China Youth Network trainee reporter Bai Mengfan)

National CDC: The vaccination rate of school-age children in China has exceeded 90%.

  China news agency, Beijing, July 24 (Reporter Chun Li) Shen Hongbing, deputy director of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention of China and academician of China Academy of Engineering, said in Beijing on July 24 that China has actively promoted the immunization program vaccination, and the vaccination rates of hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis A vaccine for school-age children have reached over 90%.

  The 2022 World Hepatitis Day Publicity Conference was held in Beijing on the same day. Shen Hongbing said at the meeting that the prevention and control of viral hepatitis in China has achieved positive results, and the cure rate of hepatitis C has reached 95%. Patients with hepatitis B who receive standardized treatment can achieve clinical cure and effectively delay and block the spread and development of the disease. In 2014, the positive rate of hepatitis B virus surface antigen under 5 years old in China has dropped to 0.32%, which has achieved the goal of hepatitis B control in the Western Pacific Region of the World Health Organization ahead of schedule.

  Shen Hongbing said that in terms of preventing the spread of hepatitis infection and reducing the increment, China has actively promoted the immunization program vaccination. The vaccination rate of school-age children with hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis A vaccine has reached more than 90%, and newborns born to pregnant women with positive hepatitis B surface antigen are vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin free of charge, achieving full coverage of preventing mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B.

  He also said that China actively carried out scientific research and innovation in the prevention and treatment of major infectious diseases such as viral hepatitis and successfully developed the world’s first hepatitis E vaccine; At the same time, strengthen the management of blood safety and medical safety, and realize the full coverage of blood stations, blood, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus nucleic acid detection.

  Qiao Jianrong, the representative office of the World Health Organization in China, said that in recent years, the global elimination of viral hepatitis has made some progress, and the global overall goal of reducing the hepatitis B infection rate of children under five years old to less than 1% in 2020 has been achieved, and the number of people receiving hepatitis C treatment has increased nine times, reaching nearly 10 million, reversing the upward trend of viral hepatitis mortality for the first time.

  Qiao Jianrong also pointed out that China has made remarkable achievements in preventing new infections of viral hepatitis, successfully preventing new infections of hepatitis B among this generation of young people, basically cutting off the spread of hepatitis C through blood, which means greatly reducing the incidence and death of liver cancer and cirrhosis in the future.

  "While affirming the achievements, we are also soberly aware that China’s hepatitis prevention and control work still faces severe challenges." Shen Hongbing also pointed out that the number of infected patients and people with hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus is huge, the disease burden is serious and the quality of life needs to be improved. However, the basic medical and health service ability, public awareness and self-protection ability in China still need to be improved, and the prevention and control of viral hepatitis still has a long way to go, which requires further efforts.

Is the era of "brushing your face" really coming without bringing money and mobile phones when you go shopping?

  At the Cyber Security Expo, citizens felt the innovative application of face recognition technology. Photo by our reporter Xiao Yuyang (data picture)

  In the recent "double 11", the proportion of consumers who paid by "fingerprinting" and "brushing their faces" reached 60.3%.

  Passwords are retreating from the historical stage, and the era of biological payment in China has arrived — — This is the view of Hu Xi, deputy CTO of Ant Financial. He said that many new technologies, including "face brushing", such as distributed databases, intelligent risk control, blockchain, biometrics, etc., are all 100% open to the outside world and are increasingly becoming the infrastructure to promote the intelligent upgrading of industries such as finance, retail, travel, government affairs and medical care.

  A few years ago, "brushing your face" was used as a joke. Today, more and more functions are being added to each of our faces: payment code, subway card, boarding pass, train ticket, even medical card and ID card. Is the era of "brushing your face" really coming?

  Sichuan Daily reporter Lu Wei

  1 "Brush your face"Where are available?

  From online to offline, it covers supermarkets, hospitals and other scenes.

  "Compared with other recognition methods, face recognition has the characteristics of uniqueness, non-compulsion, non-contact, concurrency, simple operation and high speed, which can greatly improve the user experience." As Nan Tian, a researcher at Ant Financial Business School, said, the application of biometric technology will greatly lower the threshold of mobile payment and allow a wider range of people, including silver-haired people, to enjoy the convenience brought by technology.

  It takes an average of 3 seconds to enter a 6-digit password, and only 1 second for fingerprint payment. Following the fingerprint payment, Alipay took the lead in developing the brush face payment. Nan Tian revealed that China’s application of this technology is at the international leading level, and it is currently accelerating its sinking to various regional cities.

  Recently, the branch store of Dikang Avenue in Hongqi Supermarket in Chengdu launched Alipay’s face-brushing payment. On November 18th, Sun Zhu, a citizen of Chengdu, experienced a brush face payment in this store. After selecting the goods, she scanned the code on the self-service cashier equipment to complete the pricing, and then according to the screen prompts, she completed the face recognition and the verification of entering the mobile phone number, and then paid to complete the transaction. "It doesn’t take more than 10 seconds from checkout to face payment. You don’t have to wait in line, and you don’t have to remember so many passwords."

  The relevant person in charge of Hongqi Chain said that there are three major pain points in the retail industry at present: inefficient cashier, increasing store rent year by year and rising labor costs. After using self-service cashier and face-brushing payment, these problems have been effectively solved. "The cashier efficiency has increased by more than 50% compared with before, alleviating the congestion in the queue during peak hours; The utilization rate of cashier space has increased by more than 200%, and the space of the original two traditional cashier channels can now hold four self-service cash registers; Originally, a cashier was responsible for one checkout channel, and now he can be responsible for more than two self-service cash registers. "

  In August, the first batch of word-of-mouth smart stores in the west landed in Chengdu. "Just pay by brushing your face, and then leave without queuing." Take Adale Smart Store located in Xinian Square, East Street, Chengdu as an example. Consumers only need to scan the code through word-of-mouth APP to complete face recognition. After entering the store to buy goods, they will put the tray on the checkout counter, and the system will automatically identify the goods selected by the consumers. After confirming the amount, they can automatically deduct the money by simply "brushing their faces".

  "For baking shops, queuing is a bottleneck restricting the growth of turnover, and many consumers give up buying because of queuing for too long. Through the non-inductive payment technology, the cashier is reduced to one person to help customers pack, and the released clerk manpower can better provide consumers with experiential services such as shopping guide and tasting. " Jiang Hua, founder of Adale, explained.

  After transformation, the settlement process of word-of-mouth smart restaurant was shortened from about 2 minutes to 45 seconds. Yan Hou, head of the word-of-mouth smart restaurant project, revealed: "Through word-of-mouth big data, we have further optimized the product structure of Adale smart stores, reducing from nearly 300 products to 140."

  Nan Tian introduced that face recognition technology is also widely used in many offline scenes such as banks, pharmacies, hospitals, stations, restaurants, hotels, etc. Consumers in hundreds of cities across the country have experienced the convenience of "brushing their faces".

  West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University recently introduced face recognition technology, which is used for online card processing, triage check-in, blood collection identity verification and access control of some offices.

  2 "Brush your face"Is it safe?

  Even if it is a cosmetic face, 3D technology can still accurately identify it.

  Although "brushing face" is convenient, it is superimposed with financial functions such as payment, and many people still have concerns.

  "The product form of Alipay face recognition technology is basically mature and has the ability to commercialize." Nan Tian said that Alipay’s face brush payment adopts 3D face recognition technology, and it will carry out in-vivo detection through the combination of software and hardware during recognition. Even after cosmetic surgery, it can find out the "original you" from hundreds of facial features, and the recognition accuracy rate is 99.99%.

  Why not 100%? Nan Tian admits that in the field of network security, no technology can ensure 100% security. For example, two-dimensional code payment, especially static two-dimensional code, is easy to be implanted into Trojans, so the central bank stipulates the application of scanning code payment limit, and the static scanning code payment limit is 500 yuan per day. Two-dimensional code payment needs to enter a password or verify the fingerprint, the password is easy to be stolen and the fingerprint can be cracked. Fingerprint payment must be based on the device, but face-brushing payment has nothing to do with the device. After the function is turned on, it can be used at any cashier who accesses "face-brushing payment".

  Wang Shenke, deputy general manager of the Financial Technology Department of China Construction Bank, said that 100,000 ATMs in CCB have been equipped with face recognition technology. "We will consult with telecom operators, public security organs and third parties to provide monitoring information, including face recognition and camera information. If it is not the financial loss caused by the customer’s operational mistakes, the bank has a compensation mechanism, and you dare to use me to pay. "

  "Chengdu is building a western financial center, which will give full play to the role of financial technology, create a safe payment environment and further develop inclusive finance." Zhou Xiaoqiang, president of China People’s Bank Chengdu Branch, said that with the continuous rise of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing, blockchain and artificial intelligence, the service model and business philosophy of financial institutions are also undergoing profound changes. While new technologies promote financial innovation, financial institutions are also facing the risks of various new security threats inside and outside. Chengdu Branch of the People’s Bank of China has established a joint meeting system for information security between banking institutions and payment institutions, and established a provincial-level inter-departmental information security emergency response coordination mechanism with the provincial public security department and other departments, taking the lead in establishing an inter-regional emergency coordination mechanism in five southwestern provinces and cities, and improving the countermeasures for network security and payment risk prevention.

  3 "Brush your face"How big is the market?

  The application of domestic banks is very active, and inclusive finance and New Retail use it as a sharp weapon.

  Major banks are taking the initiative to join the new wave of payment iteration: CCB announced that it can withdraw money and pay without a bank card or a mobile phone; Agricultural Bank of China is carrying out face-brushing withdrawals all over the country.

  Not long ago, Sichuan private bank Xinwang Bank participated in the Beijing Jinbo Fair for the first time, and placed a big ipad at the entrance of the booth. The staff introduced that this was specially used to let the public experience the efficiency of facial (face) recognition. "Please blink … … Please move your mouth … … The face recognition system of the new network bank automatically issued instructions. All the business of Xinwang Bank is operated on mobile phones. Zhou Qiang, a Beijing citizen, experienced the business application process: "brushing his face" and paying attention to the service number of "New Network Bank", registered and filled in some basic information, and completed the whole application process of "Good People Loan" in less than 3 minutes, and soon got the credit approval result.

  Such efficient and fast credit approval is based on the intelligent risk control system of Xinwang Bank based on the Internet, big data, biometrics and machine learning. According to the staff, Xinwang Bank has the ability to identify and judge risks from scratch in the face of every strange user. Take the decision engine system as an example, it takes only 7 seconds at the earliest and an average of 50 seconds to make credit approval. For those "white credit households" who have never received a bank loan and have zero credit records, Xinwang Bank can also conduct online approval in real time, and the review can be completed in a few seconds. By the end of October 2018, the bank had served more than 18 million users, with a cumulative loan amount of more than 120 billion yuan, a per capita loan amount of 3,300 yuan, and an average loan period of 75 days.

  In addition to inclusive finance, new retail also benefits from new technologies such as "face brushing". Qiu Ji, director of retail industry in Alipay West District, believes that the core of new retail is that enterprises use the Internet and big data, take physical stores, e-commerce and mobile Internet as the core, and realize the integration of goods, members, transactions, marketing and other data by integrating online and offline to provide customers with a cross-channel and seamless experience.

  At present, "face recognition" technology can accurately analyze the characteristics of the people entering the store, including passenger flow, gender, age, expression, preference, etc., so as to make the user’s portrait clearer, thus optimizing the product configuration and improving the conversion rate. Even if the store encounters the theft of goods, through the analysis of the obtained data, it can also pull bad customers into the "blacklist" or reduce their credit level.

  In addition, the user preference data obtained by face recognition can also be fed back to the online, and the obtained data can be fed back to the manufacturers through the online, which helps the manufacturers to understand the needs of consumers more comprehensively, and then accurately develop products and design marketing strategies. These are all shortcuts to achieve new retail "opening up online and offline".

  Li Tao, director of the Institute of Computer Network and Security of Sichuan University, believes that big data is an information mine more important than oil and gold. At present, a large number of data are concentrated, and resources are also concentrated. The advantage of concentration is that it is easy to manage, but the disadvantage is that the situation is more severe from the security point of view. Once it is broken, the problems will be more serious. "The country attaches great importance to financial security. People who often go abroad know that our country is in an absolute leading position in the world on the Internet, especially mobile payment. However, while cheering the convenience of mobile payment, we must also think about how to ensure our security in the field of mobile payment and maintain our leading edge in the world. This is a topic worthy of discussion. "

  The future has come. Nan Tian said that as a technician, the mission of him and his colleagues is to constantly use technology to break through various boundaries and open people’s imagination of the future.

Chongqing Specialty Legend (107) | This bowl of chicken soup that you have drunk since childhood was praised by Emperor Guangxu.

Chongqing Qiuer Restaurant is famous for its chicken soup. Many friends who love chicken soup like their "stewed chicken soup" and "stewed chicken soup with cuttlefish". I don’t know if you have noticed, but the chicken soup in Qiuer Restaurant is different from other chicken soups in Chongqing, and it is even more different from all kinds of chicken dishes which are famous for their popularity and heavy taste. Yes, the chicken soup in Qiuer Pavilion is now in the southwest. However, tracing back to the source, this bowl of chicken soup, which has won many times as a "famous snack" in Chongqing, is actually delicious from the north, with royal blood flowing on its body.

The story begins more than a hundred years ago.

At present, the signboard of Qiuer Pavilion reads "1949 Secret Chicken Soup" in black and white, but the secret history of this bowl of chicken soup is even earlier.

cd8cbe8aed194c5b9bb00c5f53034ee21433947.jpg

During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Li Laosan, a native of Baxian County, Chongqing, was a good cook. In his early years, he was elected as a chef in the imperial dining room of Beijing Palace, and the dishes he made were all kinds of dishes, which was deeply appreciated by Emperor Guangxu. In particular, the chicken soup stewed by the "Imperial Copper Furnace Stewing Chicken Method" was more popular with Emperor Guangxu.

After the failure of the Reform Movement of 1898, Emperor Guangxu was placed under house arrest in Yingtai. Li Laosan lost his main client and could only work as a cook in the ordinary kitchen in the palace, with no future. When Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi fled the capital with Emperor Guangxu and a group of ministers, not to mention those other people in the palace. Li Laosan was forced to leave the palace and make a living by himself. However, he has no relatives and friends in Beijing, and he has no business capital. He can’t display his good cooking skills, so he has to live in a small restaurant run by Han people in the south of the city to help him do odd jobs and make ends meet.

One day, a military attache named Hande said came to the small restaurant. This man, whose ancestral home is Yidu, Hubei Province, was admitted to the Governor’s Office as a bodyguard when Zhang Zhidong was governor of Huguang. Because of his loyalty and outstanding martial arts, he won Zhang’s trust and was employed for a long time. Zhang Zhidong was promoted to minister of military affairs and took office in Beijing. Hande said that he would accompany him.

Hand said that he happened to eat in this small restaurant that day and chatted with Li Laosan. He lamented that he had a good cooking skill, so why not open his own shop? Knowing Li Laosan’s difficulties, Hande recommended it to Zhang Zhidong to make Li Laosan a full-time chef in the Military Minister’s Office. Li Laosan re-displayed the craftsmanship in the Qing Palace, and Zhang Zhidong ate three meals a day and kept it in the government with a high salary.

Shortly after Zhang Zhidong’s death, the Revolution of 1911 broke out and Emperor Xuantong abdicated. The former military minister’s office was dissolved, and the guard Hande said that both Li Laosan and the chef were repatriated to their original places. Hande said that he would return to Hubei to continue to be a soldier in the new army, while Li Laosan returned to his hometown of Ba County. When leaving, in order to thank Hande for his help, Li Laosan passed on the secret of "Stewing Chicken in Imperial Copper Furnace" in Qing Palace. The bronze stove that was brought out of the palace and engraved with the words "Guangxu Imperial Chef" was also presented. Li Laosan later died of illness in his hometown of Ba County.

Dajiangkai restaurant

Hande called Ben a samurai and served in the army for a long time. At first, he didn’t have the idea of opening a restaurant. It’s just that he also likes cooking and moves around with the army. As long as the environment is stable and his family is reunited, he always cleans up the imperial copper stove and cooks a chicken to comfort himself and his family.

Twenty years later, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, and Hande said that he had participated in the front-line anti-Japanese war with the army and had experienced the test of bullets and was promoted to major general brigade commander. Later, the 10th National Army he served suffered heavy casualties and was scattered in Henan. Hande said that he retired to Chongqing with the commander of the army. The 10th Army is a local miscellaneous army, which has always been excluded by the Huangpu clique. After the army broke up, it was quickly revoked by the Military Commission, and the commander was transferred to other posts, while the rest of the officers were discharged. Hande, who lost his military post, said he had to find a job for himself. He used his savings for many years to open a small restaurant named "Qiu San Guan" in the Xinsheng Market in Chongqing (now the location of Jie Fangbei Meimei Times Department Store).

Many people don’t understand the name of this restaurant and ask about its origin. Hande said that he laughed at himself: "I was born as a soldier, and I was a soldier." Now that I am not a soldier, there are three left after Qiu Ba retired, so I am called Qiu San. "

The main recipes of Qiusan Pavilion are stewed chicken soup and noodle soup. He displayed the bronze stove of "Guangxu Imperial Chef" presented by Li Laosan in the store, and the gold plaque of "Qing Palace Imperial Chef" hung in the main hall was particularly eye-catching. At the beginning of his business, he personally took charge, from material selection to stew. In the production, he applied the secrets taught by Li Laosan to practice and strived for perfection.

Hande said that strict rules should be followed. One is strict selection of materials, and domestic chickens with a growth period of not less than 9 months must be used. Secondly, it is carefully processed. Killing the chicken can’t choke blood, and depilation can’t hurt the skin. First, soak the chicken in cold water to remove fishy smell, gradually heat it, remove the blood bubbles, and then rinse it. The third is to ensure the original flavor, stew 10-15 chickens in a large pot, add Li Laosan’s secret ingredient, and never add water halfway. Fourth, the heat is strict. Boil it with a big fire, and then simmer it slowly with a small fire (in the past, alcohol was used as fuel and put it in a copper furnace to control the firepower), which usually takes four hours. The fifth is rationing, which is sold in the morning at night and in the afternoon at morning. In order to ensure the quality, each chicken is only sold in 4 portions, with two legs and two wings and a chest. The sixth is to pay attention to the beauty of food, with large celadon bowls, soup filled with 80%, plump and fresh, high quality and mellow taste.

164307nu27vbz1zgq7m48q.jpg

According to the records, the store is listed in the store every day, and it is clearly stated: "Today, there are 40 stewed chicken soup, each of which is priced at one yuan and fifty cents; 80 portions of stewed chicken noodles, each priced at 50 cents; 80 portions of sea cucumber chicken soup noodles, 35 cents each, while stock lasts. " No matter how good the business is, it will not increase the supply. Such a price was high at that time, but diners rushed to buy it, and even dignitaries sent servants to the store to serve soup. Usually it will be sold out in less than an hour in the morning and afternoon, and many people come here and leave disappointed.

After just four years of opening, Hande said that he earned a lot of money. On the eve of liberation, he transferred the store to his disciple and buddy and went back to his hometown in Yidu, Hubei Province to recuperate.

Minister for dinner.

Hande said that he had accepted six disciples and taught the secrets to disciples Wang Zhankui, Li Xudong, Zhao Shaowu and others. Since then, Li Xudong passed Luo Zhifang; Luo Zhifang also passed on Kang Changrong and Gong Zhiping.

Starting from Li Xudong, the Qiusan Pavilion was split, and the Qiuer Pavilion continued to this day.

It turns out that Hande said that after leaving Chongqing, his inheritors Wang Zhankui, Li Xudong, Zhao Shaowu and others disagreed and broke up. Wang Zhankui, the eldest disciple, became the boss of Qiusan Pavilion, while Li Xudong, Zhao Shaowu and others also set up their own stalls and shops, and opened a shop on Qingnian Road, which was named Qiuer Pavilion. Chongqing is commonly known as "Qiuer", which not only shows that its founders were originally wage earners, but also implies that its inheritance is related to Qiuer Pavilion.

△ Ren Baige

In 1952, Qiuer Pavilion was moved to Wuyi Road for operation, facing the Qing Theater (later changed to Wuyi Cinema). At that time, Ren Baige, then the propaganda minister of Chongqing Municipal Committee, was very concerned about sorting out and modifying the traditional repertoire of Sichuan Opera. In his spare time, he often went to the "Chongqing Theater" to watch plays, and after reading it, he also held a live meeting to make comments and suggestions. When Bai Ge returned from a business trip, he went to the theatre without eating dinner. During the intermission, he went to the "Qiu Er Guan" to buy a bowl of noodles, saying that there was soup and noodles to solve his hunger and thirst.

Once renamed and closed down.

In 1956, it was a public-private partnership, and the Qiuer Pavilion was gradually nationalized. In 1972, Qiusan Pavilion was removed due to the adjustment of commercial outlets and merged into Qiuer Pavilion, and its main store was moved to Heping Road.

During the Cultural Revolution, the name of "Qiuer Pavilion" was once renamed as "brand-new food shop", but it was only restored in 1979, and the variety increased, including shredded chicken, spicy chicken pieces, chicken soup wonton soup, etc., and the business became more prosperous. At that time, Qiuer Pavilion had become the most well-known time-honored store, but during 1994-1998, the Wuyi Road area was built and Qiuer Pavilion was built. In 1999, it reopened in Xiaomi City and was also included in the state-owned enterprises. In the six years after 2005, 8 stores were opened in various districts of Chongqing.

In 1958, 1964, 1980 and 1984, Qiuer Restaurant Stewed Chicken Soup was rated as "Special Flavor", "Famous Snack" and "Famous Snack" in Chongqing for four times. In 2001, it was rated as a famous restaurant in Chongqing. In September, 2000, it won the title of "Chinese Famous Snack", and in 2009, the secret stewed chicken soup in Qiuer Pavilion was officially listed in Chongqing’s "Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection List".

Persistence and innovation 

From the imperial delicacies of Emperor Guangxu, to the delicacies of ordinary people, from the "royal copper furnace chicken stew method" to the secret chicken stew soup, this bowl of chicken soup has passed through the temples and rivers and lakes for a hundred years. Nowadays, the citizens who eat the chicken soup in Qiuer Pavilion will be amazed. A bowl of chicken soup that looks very clear can eat a strong fragrance. As a municipal intangible cultural heritage, the stewed chicken soup in Qiuer Pavilion does have a secret. Now, the person who inherits this secret is Gong Zhiping, the fourth generation successor and chef of Qiuer Pavilion.

Gong Zhiping, a national first-class cook (the highest technical level in the Chinese food industry), was awarded the Golden Chef Award by the China Cuisine Association in June 2014 for his contribution to the protection of the intangible cultural heritage of the chicken stew in Qiuer Restaurant.

What contribution did Gong Zhiping make?

Before cooking chicken stew, it was hung in a copper stove. He boldly put forward innovation. In order to solve the problem that copper will decompose some harmful substances when it meets high temperature, he changed the copper furnace into a casserole, and the secret process took more than 4 hours.

More importantly, after consulting with the great chefs and adding his own experience in Sichuan cuisine for more than 30 years, Gong Zhiping boldly changed the original stewed chicken into a cock-hen stew, which enhanced the fragrance of the cock and the freshness of the hen. His bold and unique approach has made the chicken soup boiled out highly recognized by fellow masters.

As a generation of catering master, Gong Zhiping said that there is no trick to stew chicken soup. The key is to stew it with your heart. For example, in the selection of materials, chickens that are a few months old will definitely not work, and chickens that are at least one year old will not be added with any food additives. Even salt is not advocated. Therefore, there is always a bottle of seasoning salt on the dining table of Qiuer Pavilion. Customers who need it can put it themselves. "With additives, chicken soup can become very white in two minutes, while the chicken soup in Qiuer Pavilion is clear and oily, but it tastes mellow and sticky." Gong Zhiping said that few restaurants are willing to simmer chicken soup for more than 4 hours.

At the same time, in order to make the chicken taste more delicious, he said, the chicken soup in Qiuer Restaurant is first boiled with a big fire, after removing the blood bubbles, then simmered with a small fire, and then the whole chicken is removed and simmered separately, so that the chicken tastes soft and won’t get old.

"If you keep stewing with a big fire, the chicken will taste very old; In order to save time, some restaurants fish up the chicken and pat it to make it soft. " Gong Zhiping said,If there is a secret to chicken stew, then the greatest secret is heart..

I want to buy a medium-sized joint venture car and test drive 25 Honda Accord. The reason for the good sales is found.

For most consumers, it is not wrong to basically consider some models with good sales when buying a car. Often, models with good sales are bound to sell well. If you want to consider a joint venture medium-sized car, the sales of Volkswagen, Volkswagen, Toyota Honda and other models are good in the current sales list. Among them, Honda Accord sold more than 13,000 vehicles in October, which is enough to show that consumers’ recognition of the Accord is still very high.

At present, the latest version of the Accord on sale is 2025 models. In line with the principle of buying new ones instead of buying old ones, we directly look at 25 Honda Accords. Under the condition that the guide price is 179,800-238,800 yuan, according to our understanding at the store, 25 Honda Accords have a comprehensive discount of 50,000 yuan at present. After the discount, the bare car price is 129,800 yuan, which is obviously still very good.

In terms of design, the 25 Honda Accord models incorporate the family-style features of the brand, and also add many modern and youthful elements. The front face of the 25 Honda Accord adopts hexagonal air intake grille and long and narrow headlight group, and with a flat front, it looks fashionable and sporty as a whole. The side of the car body has elegant and slender body lines, slip-back roof lines and blackened aluminum alloy wheels, which also make it look more sporty. As for the rear part, the taillights on both sides of the 25 Honda Accord are connected by black decorative strips, creating a penetrating sense of sight, and the brand Logo is embedded in the middle, which also has high recognition.

The interior design of 25 Honda Accords is concise and capable, and the car also retains Honda’s consistent style, and the layout of function buttons is reasonable. The 25 Honda Accord cars also use a 10.2-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 12.3-inch central control panel. This time, the 25 Honda Accords also support two mainstream mobile phone interconnection functions, CarPlay and CarLife. The Honda CONNECT 4.0 intelligent guidance interconnection system is also built into the car, which supports many localized apps, so it can also guarantee the overall car experience when it is actually used.

With regard to safety, 25 Honda Accords come standard with 10 airbags. At the same time, Honda SENSING 360+ can be seen in the flagship version, which not only supports 360 panoramic images, but also has functions such as automatic lane change assistance and ramp automatic exit (entry), which can better meet the needs of users in intelligent driving. As for the space, the wheelbase of 25 Honda Accords is 2830mm. According to my height of 178cm, there are four fingers left in the head after the position is adjusted in the front row. When I came to the back row, I still had more than two fists in my legs and four fingers in my head. The sense of space was good.

In the power part, all 25 Honda Accord models adopt the power combination of 1.5T+CVT, which is also very mature, with the maximum power of 192 HP and the peak torque of 260 Nm. The book parameters are also beautiful, and the CVT gearbox can also provide a smooth shift experience during daily driving, and also ensure the efficient transmission of power. At the beginning, the 25 Honda Accord has a fast acceleration response and a stable power output, which can meet the needs of drivers whether commuting in cities or driving at high speed. At the same time, this power combination also takes into account the energy consumption performance. Its CLTC comprehensive fuel consumption is as low as 6.6L/100km, the actual fuel consumption per 100 km is about 7.5L, and it still drinks 92 # gasoline, which also greatly reduces the car cost.

The 25 Honda Accords are still the combination of the former McPherson independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension that we are familiar with. The power adjustment of the 25 Honda Accords pays more attention to comfort, which can better absorb the fine vibration from the road and reduce the sense of bumps. On some complicated roads, such as national roads with bumpy roads, passengers in 25 Honda Accord cars can also enjoy better comfort performance. In addition, the 25 Honda Accords are also equipped with a variable steering ratio system, which can automatically adjust the steering sensitivity according to the change of vehicle speed. When driving at high speed, the steering is heavier and the driving is more stable. When driving in the city, the steering is more flexible and it is more convenient for drivers to shuttle in the city.

Blue comments:

As a medium-sized car, Honda Accord has a good market performance in the global market so far, and the number of users in China alone has reached 3 million. Since entering the domestic market, the car still has a good market performance even today, which also shows to a great extent how high the user’s recognition of this car is. Indeed, judging from our experience today, the 25 Honda Accords are well-balanced in all aspects, and combined with their comprehensive preferential policies, they are still very competitive in the current joint venture medium-sized automobile market.

Test drive | Born for off-road, evolving to luxury, 21-year-old Mercedes-Benz GLE evolution theory

The 1998 classic "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" featured an impressive car – a fierce but nimble Mercedes SUV, and yes, the first-generation M-Class.

On May 21, 1997, the first-generation Mercedes-Benz M-Class (codenamed W163) was officially released. Instead of traditional auto shows, Mercedes-Benz chose a special way to make an appearance – they invited about 5,000 customers from all over the world, as well as some government officials from Alabama, to take them to witness the birth of the M-Class at the Tuscaloosa plant. On that day, the M-Class officially went into mass production.

The first generation of M-class off-road vehicles was launched with a very clear purpose. In order to further expand the US market at that time and replace its classic Mercedes-Benz G-class, due to the poor comfort of the G-class at that time, and the unsatisfactory road performance and vehicle interior, Mercedes-Benz hoped to launch a model that achieved a better balance between road and off-road, performance and luxury.

The new M-Class was originally designed as a mid-sized (medium and large) luxury SUV model, with guaranteed space, comfort and technology, and is equipped with a variety of powertrains. In addition, in order to rival the off-road capabilities of the G-Class, the M-Class is equipped with an OurHours four-wheel drive system, and is also equipped with a two-speed transfer box to simulate the role of a differential lock. Therefore, in that era, the four-wheel drive system of the Mercedes-Benz M-Class was powerful enough and very versatile, so it was recognized by the market.

Back then, there was a small episode in the naming. It was well known that BMW had always used the letter M, including the early M3 and M5 models. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Mercedes-Benz adopted the method of adding letters, eventually becoming ML, including ML320, ML400 and other models.

Therefore, the ML-level inborn genes have a strong off-road ability.

After a long 21 years, the Mercedes-Benz ML has finally evolved to the fourth generation, and since 2015, this car series has a clearer positioning serial number – GLE.

In appearance, the changes of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLE are very obvious. The grille adopts the new Mercedes-Benz family design language, which is inverted trapezoidal. The headlights adopt a new design, with bifold LED daytime running lights inside, and the outline of the light group is more sleek. The air intake under the headlights has a domineering feeling unique to this class of SUV.

In contrast, the side shape of the new car continues to pay homage to the classics. The design of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLE’s upper structure still retains the design that has been carried over from the first generation of Mercedes-Benz ML. The inclined C-pillar shape is still clearly defined as part of the characteristics of the whole vehicle, and the corresponding shape is the hidden shape of the B-pillar and D-pillar.

Under the influence of the clear C-pillar and roof lines, the top of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz GLE clearly presents the design style of a large yacht, which is also the essence of the four generations of Mercedes-Benz ML series.

As for the taillights, the grouping design of the inner triangle and outer quadrangle makes it quite elegant and elegant and more recognizable. It is worth mentioning that the new car has achieved a drag coefficient of 0.29Cd, which is 0.03Cd lower than the previous generation. It is the lowest drag coefficient in this class of SUV.

In terms of data, the size of the new generation GLE is 4924, 1947, 1795mm, and the wheelbase is 2995mm. Compared with the current GLE, it has increased by 120mm, 21mm, and 80mm respectively. The wheelbase has also increased by 80mm, catering to the current trend of size upgrades with big beauty.

"Twenty-one years ago, Mercedes-Benz pioneered the mid-to-large SUV segment. Now, the new Mercedes-Benz GLE will better meet the needs of the occupants in every seat," says Ms Britta Seeger.

Therefore, the interior upgrade has become the highlight of the new generation of GLE.

The new three-frame multi-function steering wheel is composed of 18 control elements and is equipped with a dual thumb control system (Dual Thumb Controls), which greatly enhances the sense of technology.

In the gear bar area, the new generation of GLE also adds more layers. Handrails with practicality and luxury are added on both sides of the area. At the same time, the Mercedes-Benz Command system is equipped with a larger touch panel for easier operation.

Of course, the new GLE SUV is also Mercedes-Benz’s first SUV equipped with MBUX intelligent human-machine interaction system. It has a "mind-reading voice assistant" that supports natural language recognition. It can be easily started by calling "Hello Mercedes-Benz" or pressing a button. In addition to Mandarin Chinese, it can also recognize dialects such as Cantonese and Sichuan. The "24/7 AI consultant" using artificial intelligence technology can learn user habits and make personalized suggestions when appropriate.

The new generation Mercedes-Benz GLE has also upgraded the second row of seats, which can be folded in a 4:2:4 ratio, and the rear row supports electric adjustment, fully considering the passenger’s ride comfort. In addition, a third row of seats can be optional.

The new GLE 450 4MATIC we tested this time is equipped with a new inline 6-cylinder engine with a 48-volt intelligent motor system, which is unique in the same class. It has 367 horsepower and a peak torque of 500 Nm. The intelligent motor can also output an additional 250 Nm of torque and 22 horsepower for a short time. It is also equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission with better ride and fuel economy, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is 6.0 seconds.

Compared to the off-road ability of the gle itself, the road performance of the new GLE is even more surprising. The 48-volt intelligent motor system is frequently involved throughout the driving process, making it easier to reaccelerate over 100 kilometers, and also making the engine start faster and smoother, and the exhaust emissions are cleaner and more environmentally friendly. The new GLE 450 4MATIC is equipped with a new intelligent OurHours four-wheel drive system, which can flexibly distribute the front and rear axle torque in the range of 0% to 100% according to the demand or selected driving mode, improving road handling.

In the Chengdu Modern Pentathlon Off-Road Park, which is full of red soil hills, the new GLE SUV successfully challenged 26 off-road test driving subjects including cross axles, bumpy roads, hump roads, side slopes, wading and other off-road scenarios. The new air suspension system of the new GLE 450 4MATIC is standard because it is connected to the 48-volt intelligent motor system, which adjusts faster and consumes less energy. Five modes of the system can also be selected according to dynamic control: "comfortable", "sports", "off-road", "energy saving" and "custom". And considering the vehicle speed, the suspension height can be automatically increased or decreased.

For example, in "off-road" mode, the suspension will automatically increase by 60mm, improving wading capacity and passability. The maximum wading depth of the new GLE SUV is 500mm, which can be increased to 600mm with optional off-road components. In addition, the intelligent OurHours four-wheel drive system, four-wheel drive electronic traction assistance system (4ETS), downhill speed control system (DSR) and more, easily manage a variety of complex and extreme road conditions.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the driver to keep abreast of the driving status of the vehicle, the MBUX intelligent human-machine interaction system also adds an off-road display mode, which can display parameters such as the lateral and longitudinal inclination of the body, the torque distribution ratio of the front and rear axles, and the height of the suspension, adding more off-road fun.
