Chapter 397: Food is as important as culture

() Although the program filmed by this crew is the main cultural inheritance and the shell of the top documentary, it already has the shadow of an outdoor variety show, and the people involved are a little familiar, so there should be more actors in the TV series.

Although it is said that there are some outdoor variety shows, they are definitely not as good as the famous variety shows that Chen Xin knows in terms of emotional mobilization, and the traces of the actors' contrivedness are relatively heavy, but compared with the mainstream indoor variety shows, this is already a very bold change. And because of the novelty of the form, as far as traditional documentaries are concerned, this kind of semi-entertainment program is more likely to be liked by the audience.

The place chosen by the crew is in a mountain village in Zhangbei, which is said to be one of the places where the Central Plains civilization migrated and inherited in order to escape the war. Moreover, many of the rules and customs that they have handed down here are recorded in the Central Plains civilization.

In the past few years, it is not that there have been other places to cheat, trying to find a "background" for themselves, but those deeds cannot stand scrutiny, and it is more far-fetched to find some so-called evidence, and then build some exquisite "ancient buildings" to prove their history.

This place in Zhangbei is different from those places, it is a real historical heritage, and the celebrity information in the history books is also recorded, and the place name has not changed for thousands of years.

Taking advantage of the time when the crew was prepared, Chen Xin took a notebook to record the features here, and the camera was never taken off from his chest. And the food here is also different from other places, most of them have a name that sounds ancient, although Chen Xin is very suspicious that these names were taken by later people at all, but I have to admit that it is very appropriate.

"They used to be here to cultivate and read heirlooms, but now they can't see it, and before the sabotage, there were many torii here, and the largest ancestral hall. It is said that the ancestral hall is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts, only the ancestors have been high-ranking officials and dignitaries and great Confucians, can enter the inner ancestral hall, and the others are in the outer ancestral hall. It's a pity that I can't see it now. ”

The assistant director was responsible for determining the arrangement of each scenic spot, and just took Chen Xin around.

"My mother is from here, when I was a child, I followed my mother back to visit relatives, and I saw the scene of the sacrifice, which was very spectacular. This year is another decade, and it is estimated that there will be sacrificial activities, but unfortunately we can't shoot at the right time, otherwise we can feast our eyes. ”

They climbed halfway up the mountain, and in the small square in front of the wooden temple, they could see the largest ancestral hall in Zhangbei in the past.

"What are they building? Are they going to rebuild the ancestral hall?" Chen Xin saw that several places in the distance had been enclosed, all of which were extended by relying on the main body of the existing ancestral hall.

"I heard that it is to restore the scale of the inner and outer ancestral halls. The assistant director took out a map, which was scanned and printed from the pictures found in the county annals, "Although there are several big surnames in Zhangbei now, this surname is still the mainstay, and they also occupy most of the land in this area." When I came, I heard my mother say that they seemed to have divided several rooms, and then each pooled money to build their own ancestral hall. The inner ancestral hall is built by the clan, including overseas clansmen, and it is estimated that it will be expanded. ”

Chen Xin didn't know much about ancient buildings, so she only took a few photos, and then went down the mountain with the assistant director to find the first craftsman to shoot.

This craftsman is good at paper cutting. Give him a piece of paper and a pair of scissors, and he can give you a world. Seeing that the other party picked up the scissors and started without hesitation, and then the finished product was so delicate that it made people sigh, Chen Xin couldn't help but take a lot of photos. There are also paper-cut books specially shown to them by craftsmen, and the patterns in them are so complex that people don't know how to start.

It was time for dinner when they had finished talking with the craftsman, and the craftsman's wife brought them two bowls of noodles. This noodle is made by hand and is called a trouser belt noodle. It's really as wide as a belt, and it's just one noodle per bowl. The topping is very simple, it is a small fish soup simmered at home, sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions on top, and the aroma is tangy.

The craftsman's wife is from the north, that is, the person from the province who likes noodles the most, and she runs a noodle restaurant at home, and when she was a child, she kneaded and rolled noodles behind her parents at home, and she could make dozens of patterns into noodles.

is different from the craftsman's paper-cutting that the crew likes, Chen Xin's focus is on the pasta craft of the craftsman's wife.

Rolled out trouser belt noodles, hand-pulled ramen, ramen-like dada noodles, and dragon beard noodles cut out not much thicker than a human hair, each type of noodle has a different topping. If you want to make a thick red sauce soup with a heavy mouth, Da Da noodles are very chewy when made into dry noodles, and everyone knows that ramen noodles are the best quality.

However, what amazed Chen Xin the most was the dragon beard noodles, which was made of fish and chicken bones, after filtering twice, only the clear soup without oil flowers remained, and a little shrimp paste and clams were added to the bottom of the bowl to fry, and the noodles could be scalded in the fish soup for one minute. You don't need to add too many condiments, you put a little salt when you boil the soup, and then the shrimp paste and clams are fried enough to be salty, so that when you are drizzled with the soup, the fresh fragrance suddenly exudes, and it is so delicious that your tongue can swallow it.

This is a bit similar to the Yangchun noodles that Chen Xin has eaten, but the taste is fresher, and after drinking a bowl of soup, the whole person is warm.

Chen Xin worked hard for a whole day before she used words and pictures to match the noodles made by her aunt, typeset them out, and made a three-minute video, interspersing the whole process of making noodles, putting it under the blog, and accompanied by music, which made her feel tall all of a sudden.

Chen Xin's post-production looks very ordinary in the eyes of the crew, but the photos she took are very delicate and beautiful. Or it can't be described as exquisite, but just right. Even if it is a stoneware bowl at the craftsman's house, with a small square scarf in checkered, a string of chili pepper and garlic as accessories, and two bamboo chopsticks resting on the edge of the bowl, you can present the thick smoke and fire with excellent visual effects.

That night, as soon as the blog post named "Zhangbei Trip D1" was posted, there were old people screaming below to give up the address. Chen Xin's blog has this effect, and other people don't recommend food, but most people just treat those recommendations as strategy articles, only Chen Xin's blog, which is always discussed below one hundred and eight ways to make a food collection, as well as suggestions for local advice to make a food collection.

Chen Xin didn't rush to send the address, after all, there was going to be a show here, and if there were too many tourists, it would be affected, so she planned to send the specific address, transportation mode and accommodation suggestions to everyone for reference when she left. But after all, the characteristics of this place are still obvious, and some people in the neighborhood recognize it at a glance, and they don't make a noise under the blog, but quietly call friends to take the lead in tasting the food.
