Chapter 148: Foodies are not guilty!

This video of Xie Hua's on-site interview with Nanjia Restaurant was compiled that afternoon and posted on the official accounts of various platforms of Yanjing Daily.

At the beginning of the video, Xie Hua was holding a small camera towards himself, and was jostled by the crowd around him.

He even had to turn up the volume to prevent his voice from being drowned out by other noises:
"Dear audience friends, you can see that this is the queue scene of Nanjia Restaurant. The diners who came from different places are very enthusiastic. For example, the people around me are members of a local food group..."

"Mom, I'm on TV! Can you see me? Hahaha!"

"Be quiet! Let's give Xiao Xie some face!"

"Regular customers? Of course we are regular customers! We've been reporting here every day in the past few days! If it weren't so far away, I'd like to eat three meals a day at Nan's Restaurant... Of course I know it's closed in the morning, but I mean, eating at the breakfast shop next door while looking at its signboard must be more delicious than usual!"

"I heard that this store will be closed in less than a week. Boss Nan, we usually don't get to talk to you since you're in the kitchen, but I want to sincerely confess my love to you - stop acting! Be a chef! If you don't become a chef, it will be a great loss to our food industry! Woohoo, really, you should continue to open the store, I can't live without you, Boss Nan, ahhh! No matter where you are, we will chase you, ahhh!"

"Hey, big brother, don't really cry! Don't you feel embarrassed with so many people watching?"

"There's nothing to eat! What's the point of saving face?"

"..."

Xie Hua struggled to snatch the camera back from his crying brother:

"Okay friends, it's almost our turn now. Let's go in and experience what the famous Nan's Restaurant is like! Oh, by the way, I'm here alone and my appetite is limited. In order not to waste food, I'm going to join this group of friends!"

The young lady next to him gave him a thumbs up:
"You really made a wise choice. I've been here twice before and couldn't finish a few dishes. I was also tempted by other people's full tables. I just wish I didn't have four stomachs like a cow!"

"Miss, these videos we shot may have to be posted online, and your image..."

"So what? Being a foodie is not a crime!"

They were soon called.

There were about 10 people in this group of dining companions, including Xie Hua, and the restaurant directly arranged the largest round table for them.

The clerk seemed to be a stranger. Even the diners who had been here many times saw him for the first time and curiously asked if he was a new employee hired by Boss Nan.

The other party: "You may not believe it, but I am actually a director. Today I temporarily changed my job to become a waiter."

"Hahaha, bro you really know how to joke!"

The other person gave me an expression that said I knew it, without further explanation.

As he arranged Xie Hua and his group to their seats, he said:

"This is already the largest table. With so many of you, it might be a bit crowded. Why don't you wait a little longer and if there are other empty tables...

"It's okay, it's okay! We can just squeeze in!"

"No, we can eat while standing!"

Shop assistant: “…That’s not necessary.”

After everyone found a seat and sat down, they started to announce the names of the dishes one by one.

As expected, they are all regular customers. They don’t have to think or look at the menu. They just order whatever they want.

“Yan Du Xian, Dezhou Braised Chicken, Four-happiness Meatballs…”

I easily counted out more than a dozen dishes.

Xie Hua, who was holding the camera, seemed to have forgotten his interview mission and whispered:

"Is it a little too much?"

"Not much, not much, don't worry! By the way, Xiao Xie, what do you want?"

Seeing that almost all the dishes on the menu were sold out, Xie Hua said:
"I'd like this clear soup fish ball."

The unfamiliar name of the dish attracted everyone's attention.

"What? I didn't even discover any new dishes!"

"Fish balls! I love fish!"

"When will God let me eat spicy Sichuan food!" "Isn't that Kung Pao Chicken?"

"Not enough, I want more!"

"Greedy fellow!"

"..."

Xie Hua sat among a group of dining companions, exuding the youthfulness of a newbie.

He asked, "Does this restaurant often serve new dishes?"

The older brother who was crying loudly before has calmed down and answered with a smile as if nothing had happened:
"It's basically every day or every other day. Boss Nan said this is called freshness!"

Xie Hua nodded thoughtfully.

He looked back at the camera:
"Now you can see that many dishes have been served. Let's try them."

As he said this, he picked up the chopsticks.

It was obvious that Xie Hua underestimated the power of delicious food.

At the beginning, he could still make a few comments to the camera or pat the food on the table.

In the end, he had completely forgotten the existence of the camera and was completely captive to the deliciousness!

The recording camera was placed on the table. The sounds of dishes and chopsticks colliding, soup slurping, and chewing...all these tiny and complex sounds were recorded without reservation and woven into a pleasant symphony, bringing the audience an unparalleled auditory feast.

Well, it’s really a feast, the kind that makes you drool just by listening to it!
Later, Xie Hua completely forgot his duty as a reporter and only kept shouting:

"delicious!"

"Another hundred million bowls!"

"..."

……

After a satisfying meal, Xie Hua returned to the company, and only then did he realize that he had filmed the material.

As soon as he saw the content, he thought he was doomed.

How can this be an interview?

It has completely become his personal eating show!
Oh, it sounds really delicious. He just ate and is about to get hungry again. Why not go there in the evening...

"Xiao Xie, what were the results of your field interview?"

The leader personally came to Xie Hua's desk and asked him questions in a friendly manner.

Xie Hua came back to his senses in a second and wanted to hide the camera in annoyance, but it was too late.

The leader had already seen the camera in his hand and nodded with a smile:

"Not bad, you've finished the photo already? That's pretty efficient."

Xie Hua hesitated:

"Leader, actually this..."

The leader seemed to have a good temper, but he was actually a decisive person and soon began to review the material himself.

Just when Xie Hua thought he was completely screwed.

Then I heard the leader suddenly praise:
“It’s a great shot!”

"what?"

Xie Hua thought he had heard wrongly.

The leader said with satisfaction:
"Recently, the senior leaders said that our serious media style is too serious, and it doesn't go over well with young people. It also has limited reach on social media, so they asked us to make some light-hearted content. I think your idea is great. Why not just name it 'Reporter's Day Vlog'?"

Although she is older, she is not out of date. Instead, she understands the current trends very well.
