I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 270: Night Rain in Jianghu! (Happy Valentine's Day! Tiezi!)

"The Kingdom of China on the Bite of the Tongue 2. The Flavor of the World"?
Is it going to be a sequel?
What about the first one?

Ellie murmured.

However, in recent years, it is rare to see documentaries produced by Huaguo.

It's not that there are no works before, but there are very few works that have received A-level.

Eli vaguely remembered.

Before that, a director named Zhu Youchang in Huaguo made the film "Field".

It once got the A-level evaluation of Feiwang Company.

But that was many years ago.

Now seeing Hua Guo's works again, Avery couldn't help but think about some more things.

Shaking his head, he shook off the thoughts in his head.

Avery clicked on the trial episode provided by "A Bite of China 2. Taste of the World" in front of him.

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes."

"Above the rivers and lakes, there have always been legends about flavor."

"About mentoring, about sect, about pondering, about epiphany."

"Whether you are in a bustling city or in a back alley in the countryside."

"The taste of the world is spread on the square-inch dining table like this."

"Intertwined in the cold and warm world."

This episode of "Bite of the Tongue 2" is quite Chinese.

An old man standing alone on the street amidst the constant traffic.

Then go to the kitchen and look at the apprentice thinking about the spatula in his hand.

In the green rice field, the farmer uncle is patrolling.

And then to the urban white-collar who is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise building, meditating.

Everyone's expressions are so profound.

It seems that there are always a thousand words of melancholy that can't be said.

For children, rivers and lakes are heroism.

For adults, rivers and lakes are sophistication.

For the elderly, the rivers and lakes are the parents' shortcomings.

Different ages have different explanations.

Just like the different foods that appear in the picture.

From the boiling hot hot pot, to the steaming cooking in the big iron pot.

All kinds of food come from such market life.

Be developed, food taste changes.

With the chef's thousands of attempts and thinking.

And the rivers and lakes on the tip of the tongue come from the taste of food.

the end of the screen.

The title of the episode appears.

【Jianghu night rain】

Seeing this, Ellie paused slightly.

As an American.

She was not able to be infected by the artistic conception of the rivers and lakes shown in the documentary.

For her, what she is most exposed to is the individual heroism of superheroes.

But what made her feel novel.

How do the two words "river and lake" link together in food documentaries?

"In the Hanjiang Plain in midsummer, the late rice is not yet ripe."

"But in the ditch beside the field, there is a harvest."

In a green rice field, an old man is watching all this.

Green represents vitality.

This green also represents livelihood.

But today's protagonist is obviously not this piece of paddy that is still in its infancy.

The scene changed and the old man came to the lake.

Get into the canoe and use a bamboo pole to prop the boat away from the lake.

With the rippling of the lake, the boats began to float slowly on the lake.

It is said to be a lake, but it is not actually counted.

Because it is obviously a long and narrow shoal excavated by man.

Planted next to the rice field, while nourishing the rice field, it also breeds other delicacies.

"The ecstasy array hidden under the water is called the "ground cage"."

"Once the prey gets in, it's hard to escape the snare."

"Unique terroir and an ecosystem where rice and shrimp are co-cultured."

"And make Hu Perylene the largest crayfish producing area in China."

The old man skillfully took out the caught crayfish from the top of the ground cage.

Pour it into the bucket that was prepared earlier.

A bright red crayfish appeared in the picture.

Eli was taken aback.

Immediately smiled.

Americans also like to eat crayfish.

Faced with such familiar ingredients, Avery naturally felt very kind.

"Crayfish, 40 years ago, Chinese people were still a strange species that was rarely seen."

"Today, it is already a regular guest on people's dinner table."

"And derived a very different flavor."

In the hands of Chinese people who are good at pondering.

This species that came across the ocean has now developed many ways to eat it.

From "steamed crayfish" to "spicy crayfish".

Then from "crayfish in tomato sauce" to "thirteen-flavored crayfish."

All kinds of crayfish indicate the highly respected status of this species in China.

Ellie was also a little surprised.

Crayfish have been in the United States for so many years.

There has always been only one way to eat it.

That's a stew with spices, onions, and potatoes and carrots.

Far from having so many different flavors.

The screen turns.

Came to an ordinary small courtyard.

A middle-aged man with a somewhat generous body is patrolling.

In the small courtyard, there are many people cleaning the crayfish.

"This is an ordinary crayfish shop in Huperan Qianjiang."

"Because it is backed by the production area, it has a unique source of ingredients."

"The smoldering sweet and spicy flavor of Wangyou has won the favor of the locals."

The crayfish are still alive and kicking in the back kitchen, after being cooked by the chefs.

It has turned bright red, and pots of crayfish full of appetite are brought out.

Let the whole picture be full of flavor.

"20 years ago, Lao Li, an oilfield worker, set up a cooking stove in front of his yard."

"Become the first batch of people here to cook crayfish."

"The competition in the catering arena is fierce, and the flavor trend of crayfish is changing rapidly."

"Some people choose to stick to it, while others choose to break through."

The boss, who has experienced hardships, can't find the slightest expression of complaint.

On the contrary, he faced the camera with a smile and told about his most difficult time.

choices made.

It seems that food has nothing to do with life.

But at first glance, it is also closely related.

Even Avery nodded secretly in his heart.

Ancient wisdom is not without its reason.

"Crayfish, the fastest growing ingredient in Huaguo in recent years."

"The annual output has exceeded 100 million tons."

"But many people don't know that crayfish are actually an invasive species."

"Its origin is far away in the United States on the other side of the ocean."

The voice of the narration had just finished speaking, and a series of familiar streets appeared in front of Avery.

Ellie was stunned, and couldn't help blurting out.

"Isn't this New Orleans?"

As my hometown where I grew up.

Avery knew New Orleans all too well.

"The United States, Louisiana, about 200 years ago."

"Residents here started using crayfish."

"Every year at the turn of spring and summer, people gather for crayfish."

Chinese people catch crayfish and pay attention to public breeding of rice and shrimp.

The Americans, on the other hand, are more straightforward.

A large shallow lake, all used to raise crayfish.

As soon as the screen changed, the farmer who had finished fishing was resting.

Eyes from time to time looking at the side of the road.

It seems to be expecting something.

"Thomas was welcoming family and friends over the weekend."

"The picnic during the crayfish harvest season requires everyone to participate."

"While boiling, add corn, potatoes and mushrooms."

"Sprinkle with kajan powder, a seasoning that's unique to Louisiana."

"Mixed with lemon juice, simplicity has always been the style of rice cooking."

"Using a boat as a dining table, you can feel unrestrained and carefree."

The picnic in the picture is quite interesting.

Everyone adds a variety of ingredients and seasonings together.

Wait until the seasoning is fully in contact with the shrimp.

Then dump the crayfish into the boat.

A circle of people gathered around the boat.

While enjoying the fruits of short-term labor, chatting and laughing happily.

Food is always accompanied by joy.

Such a carefree and free scene made Ellie take a deep breath.

I began to miss the feeling when I was in my hometown.

It is far from being able to compare with being busy in a cubicle like this.

The happiness of others made Ellie inexplicably envious and sad.

But she seems to have forgotten that this is a food documentary.

"The crayfish are plump and spicy."

"The juice is all over the crevices of the fingers."

"With a rugged, romantic Southern Country vibe."

The red crayfish is delicious inside.

After peeling off the red armor-like thick shell.

Inside is white and firm shrimp meat.

Shrimp flesh is curved.

It lies in the Q-bomb texture and spicy flavor when the teeth touch.

It entered the taste buds through the teeth.

And sucking the juice that flows into the fingers is sometimes another kind of delicacy.

The delicious thing is that even its juice is not spared.

"The appearance of crayfish marks the arrival of the party."

"Every May, the Crawfish Festival in the small southern town of Brobridge."

"7 people will gather!"

"Gourmet parties, big appetite contests, crayfish escape races and carnival dance parties."

"It's how people here embrace summer."

The festive atmosphere of joy appears in the picture.

Holidays of all kinds and deliciousness overflowing the screen.

It's all about one ingredient.

That is crayfish.

Happiness is the most contagious emotion.

Avery, who was sitting in front of the computer at this moment, was infected.

Watch the various activities at the party.

Eli had to admit.

My heart moved.

The carnival fades and the picture changes.

The camera took Avery across mountains and seas and returned to the lake and Qianjiang.

"Different from rice-style crayfish, Lao Li's braised prawns have their own unique recipe."

"Cut off the shrimp's tail and tail, and remove the shrimp line."

"Cut the back of the shrimp before cooking, so that it is easy to taste."

Treat it like a work of art.

Each of the crayfish in the picture has its whiskers and threads cut off.

Even opened the back of the shrimp.

This unique processing method is completely different from the crayfish that Avery had eaten in New Orleans before.

Can't help but make her feel very curious.

Then a mouthful of hot oil was heated up, and dozens of spices were added.

As the hot oil is fried in an iron pan, the meat of the crayfish shrinks rapidly and becomes firmer.

Stir-fry constantly so that every side of the crayfish is in full contact with the high temperature.

A spoonful of red oil is added to make the color more prominent and spicy.

The poured beer removes fishy smell and enhances aroma.

Make the whole picture full of mouth-watering taste.

Physiological reactions are the most real.

Although I have never eaten such crayfish.

But that colorful picture.

The red oil flows over the white shrimp.

All of them allow Avery to naturally conceive in his brain what it will taste like when he eats it in his mouth.

"Dozens of spices explode in hot oil."

"A spoonful of red oil is the most important thing."

"Cooked with beer, the taste penetrates, oily but not greasy, spicy but not dry."

"Shrimp meat is delicious and full of elasticity."

"Sweet and spicy aroma is the most enjoyable moment."

The thick narration is like countless nights.

Whenever you want to make up your mind to lose weight, it's the same food that you suddenly come across.

Earnestly lures your reason and your stomach.

Allie swallowed dryly.

A rumbling stomach indicated that she was now captured.

At the moment, she just wants to find something casually to fill the glutton that is waiting to be fed.

Then pick up the sandwiches on the table.

While eating, he continued to watch.

But it was such a small action that she didn't even notice.

It fell into the eyes of the subordinates on the side.

Really shocked.

To know the former Avery, even if he watched food documentaries all day long.

I have never done this before, and I need to watch while eating.

The subordinates don't know that Avery is already hungry?It was still induced by food documentaries.

If it is induced, subordinates will feel more curious.

What kind of documentary can change a person's habits.

Immediately afterwards, the screen changed.

The emerald green rice fields have turned golden.

This heralds the arrival of autumn.

"In autumn, when the rice is ripe, it also means that the crayfish season is coming to an end."

"In the red rivers and lakes, everyone has their own way of survival."

"Some people don't change, some people want to change."

"No one can predict where the trend will push Lao Li next season."

The old Li in the picture is after a busy night.

Sitting at the table, drinking hot water from an old-fashioned teacup.

Although it is hard work, it is also satisfying.

Immediately afterwards, the camera led Avery in front of the camera to a bustling city.

Jiangcheng!

A middle-aged couple was walking slowly by the river.

"Every day at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Xiaomin and his wife will always show up by the river on time."

"What awaits them is new busyness."

"Steam the chicken feet in a pressure cooker and trim them one by one."

"The same movement is repeated thousands of times a day."

"Often, it's night before you know it."

"At 9 o'clock in the evening, a simple dining table is set up under the viaduct."

"The real busyness begins."

Miss Xiaomin with short hair has a very serious face.

Although the surrounding streets are all operating the same food stalls as hers.

But she wasn't nervous at all.

Perhaps it is the reason why every food stall thinks its own taste is unique.

As a result, every house is full of friends.

The unique pyrotechnic atmosphere also constantly attracts people to come here.

Lively appearance, between laughter and laughter.

It is easy to make people feel friendly.

The picture came to the back kitchen where Xiaomin was standing.

At this time, Miss Xiaomin has changed from a daytime food handler to a chef in charge.

"Miss Xiaomin is in charge, and she has to stand for 6 hours a night."

"The nights in the past 12 years have been spent almost like this."

"In the rivers and lakes of supper, the raw materials of each family are similar."

"The only thing to do is to work hard on seasoning and processing."

"Miss Xiaomin has never formally learned to cook, and it's just a burst of fireworks."

"Let her figure out a set of survival skills."

In the smoke, Miss Xiaomin's face was looming.

The iron pan that is constantly stirring and the skilled taste when facing all kinds of ingredients.

It showed the resolute side of this middle-aged woman.

This made Ellie, who is also a woman, seem to feel the same way.

At the same time, I also have a strong interest in this unique food stall.

"Pai stalls pay attention to speed, but she is unwilling to reduce the process for the sake of speed."

"Always order one pot and sit one pot."

"Knowing the tastes that local people like, Miss Xiaomin adjusts the cooking time according to the season."

"One person takes care of two stoves, taking into account the speed and ensuring that every plate of chicken feet is fragrant and delicious."

Roast chicken feet in front of the camera, in boiling soup water.

The cortex is soft and glutinous, and the bones are crisp and slippery.

Full of collagen and spicy taste.

It made Ellie's mouth water.

Obviously, I have already eaten a sandwich.

But seeing such a picture, I still can't control myself.

"The joy of eating chicken feet lies in the groping in the process of eating."

"The skin and cartilage are smooth, tender and soft."

Under the camera, almost every diner sitting in Xiaominjia's food stall has a chicken paw in front of him.

Nibbling on chicken feet and chatting.

This may be the bustling atmosphere of life.

"If breakfast is the conscience of a city."

"Then supper is the soul of a city."

"On the midnight snack map of Huaguo, every city has its own unique flavor."

"Jianghu can best summarize the temperament of this port city."

"Derived cuisine, bold and unrestrained, spicy and delicious."

See a magical city appear in front of the camera.

There are many high-rise buildings in the high and low mountains.

Avery called out its name almost subconsciously.

"Mountain City!"

This is the only Chinese city she has been to.

And there is a famous food that exists in the streets and alleys.

It is also fresh in her memory.

Hot Pot!

All kinds of ingredients are boiled in the hot and fragrant Jiugong grid in turn.

Delicious but also comes with a kind of fun.

At that time, Avery only knew that he was eating delicious food.

But seeing this, Avery understood.

I am eating supper.

Eat a delicacy with a Jianghu flavor.

This episode of "Bite of Tongue 2" has been spent in the dark.

The front foot has finished describing the hot pot in Shancheng.

Then he took Ellie to the Xiaochuan stall in Jinzhou.

The charcoal-fired barbecue has its own delicate weight.

Let "rolling skewers" become a form of entertainment.

The small skewers from Jinzhou look delicate.

The Beijing sauce meat in the capital is bold and generous.

Three white and two red pork belly are marinated by the chef's skillful hands.

It became the famous Beijing Sauce Pork.

With a seductive breath, he constantly seduces Avery outside the camera.

"Everyone has a world in their hearts."

"Facing the harsh reality and the pressure of survival."

"Persevere or compromise, each chooses."

"On the last day of business this year, Lao Li invited all the employees to dinner."

"Sister Xiaomin's food stall is still busy."

"Help each other with taste, and forget each other in the rivers and lakes."

"Everyone who makes and eats food."

"Everyone has experienced the night rain in the rivers and lakes."

"Looking forward to the spring breeze of peaches and plums."

The fading narration, the business also has the mellowness of the people of the rivers and lakes.

Let the white man in front of the camera be full of strong interest in Huaguo.

Just when she was already looking forward to what kind of food he would show him in the next shot.

Suddenly the screen went blank.

The ending song started playing unexpectedly.

Ellie was taken aback.

"This is the end?!"
