Chapter 51: The Old Man's Dinner
Johnson was in awe, deeply feeling Chen Xiaoqing's sincerity and perseverance as a documentary director, and a thought flashed in his heart, which became stronger and stronger.
The audience fell silent, Chen Xiaoqing came back to his senses, saw that the atmosphere was too dull, and quipped: "You just said that when the third season of the tip of the tongue was broadcast, I was eating at an unknown roadside stall in Meizhou. Completely ignoring the soaring weight, I didn't forget to hold my stomach after eating: I like such a small shop, not so much exquisite. Everything is down, and the food is great. ”
patted his general's belly and laughed at himself: "Even if I don't make food documentaries, I am a hardcore foodie, and I am either eating or on the way to eat all day long." is different from Mr. Cai's tall and tall, and is jokingly called a street sweeper by his friends. ”
"On the fifth day after the Wenchuan earthquake, I was responsible for sending it to Qingchuan, because it was very close to Jiangyou, the hometown of fat sausages all over the world, and I couldn't help but go to a small restaurant to eat fat sausages. A mouthful of fat intestines is so delicious that you can't open your eyes. ”
"After eating, the aftershocks came, everyone ran out, and I also slipped along, but I couldn't put down this bowl of fat sausages in my heart, gritted my teeth and turned back, and finished eating calmly, and I couldn't find anyone when I checked out the boss. ”
Johnson raised his glass and said in admiration: "Actually, I know that Mr. Chen has always been a serious documentary director, has made documentaries for more than 20 years, and has won awards, but unfortunately it is not popular." ”
"I still remember filming "Song of the Forest" in 2007, when I was tall and thin carrying dozens of pounds of cameras across mountains and rivers, squatting in the desert for many years to shoot wild animals...... It was a beautiful shot, I loved it. ”
"Hahaha, thank you brother for remembering those Chen sesame rotten grains. Chen Xiaoqing said happily: "It's because the lens is full and the light is soft when shooting, and I can't hold my saliva in the commentary." As a result, as soon as the film was broadcast, the sales of mountain goods such as pine nuts and mushrooms on Taobao suddenly increased significantly. Based on this alternative success, I decided to pat the tip of my tongue. ”
To put it bluntly, everyone has two sides to AB, A is a true temperament, eats whatever he wants, squatting and standing at will, and B has to deny himself at the banquet, and it is commonly called pretending to B. ”
"Every time I come back from a high-rise building, I have to go to a favorite shop in Jimen, order a bowl of sour snail noodles, chat with the boss, and sit in the car that looks like it. ”
"I like the comfortable and casual market atmosphere, the tables are propped up in the alley, the street lamp poles next to them are plastered with small advertisements, and the residents pass by from time to time, which feels grounded and life is very real. ”
"So my conclusion is: the best food is always people!"
"Eating is about human affection, and what you eat and where you eat it is far less important than who you eat with. Zhiwei is only between people, just published a book, originally named "The Best Taste is People", the censorship agency felt it was too shocking, so it was changed to Zhiwei in the world. ”
Johnson laughed, remembered a talk show on TV, and asked, "That legendary old man dinner?"
"There were Lao Liu, Wang Xiaofeng, Luo Yonghao, Yang Kui, Quan Yongxian, and Wang Xiaoshan at the dinner...... There are also cameos by Chai Jing, Chen Xiaonan, Feng Tang, and Caitou and others. ”
"When I wasn't at dinner, every time I got the menu, I would order the sixth dish on each page of the menu without saying anything, and I could always order the most unpalatable dishes in each restaurant, which was also a talent. ”
"They said that since Chen Heizi joined the gang, the food has obviously reached a new level, so I was elected as a member of the dinner life committee. ”
"In the past, old men had dinners as little as once a week, and at most four or five times a week, eating and drinking together, and discussing life endlessly, but not about work. ”
"Everyone sat together warmly, eating hot, talking, listening, warming each other, and blackening each other, full of true temperament. ”
Chen Xiaoqing was stunned and sighed: "There is no feast in the world, now these rice partners are starting a business, getting married, I also have a mouth-watering tip of the tongue, and there are some high-end dinners, there are super coffee at the dinner, there are top chefs, the dishes are very high-end, but the food is ......."
"It's like pins and needles!"
This sentence speaks to SC Johnson's heart, rather than being bored and socializing, it is better to enjoy the food alone, simply and cleanly.
"So I prefer to believe that everyone actually has a door in their stomach, and the key is the food code given to us by our parents and elders in childhood. ”
Chen Xiaoqing laughed at herself: "Ten years ago, I was unknown and never forgot to eat and drink; Eating Yanji cold noodles that have been eaten thousands of times, participating in the dinner of an old man who is drunk and not knowing the way back, shuttling between people, looking for the hometown in his heart on the tip of his tongue......"
"How's the chat?" Hao Baoli pushed the door in, asked Sister-in-law Mei to serve a few hot dishes, sat down and greeted: "Hey, it's finally done, it's clean and clean here." ”
Pointing to bowls of porridge, he said to Johnson: "This is one of the Mei family's signatures, Mandarin Duck Chicken Porridge, try it." ”
Johnson took the blue and white porcelain bowl, the chicken porridge inside is like a Taiji diagram, half of the soup is white than snow, half of the green is more jade, and they cherish each other.
took a sip and commented: "The so-called chicken porridge does not have a grain of rice in the whole bowl." The chicken is boiled for at least one day and one night, rotted into a puree, and then vegetables are selected according to different seasons, made into vegetable juice, and adjusted into a Tai Chi shape. The taste is light, and the color and flavor are complete. ”
"Sure enough, I can't hide your tongue!" Hao Baoli said with a smile: "Before Mr. Mei takes the stage, he likes to drink porridge two hours in advance. No more meals near the performance, which meets the standard of full and hungry singing. ”
Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" also has chicken porridge, the fat hen uses a knife to peel the breast meat, scrape or plane with a knife, can not be chopped, and the chop is not tired. Retain the fiber of the chicken from being destroyed, and then boil the soup with the rest of the chicken, add fine rice flour and minced ham to make porridge. ”
"Over time, develop a three-no-fear eating habit: don't drink alcohol, don't eat offal, don't eat braised pork and other things that are too greasy. Afraid of phlegm, afraid of eating cold drinks before and after the performance, afraid of hot throat being dumb. ”
"Throughout his life, he pays great attention to protecting his lungs and throat, and it is said that he will also take a piece of Sydney pear to nourish his lungs and protect his throat when he sleeps, suck the fire in his lungs, and take it out and throw it away the next day, without being sloppy at all. ”
looked at Zhuang Chen and Chen Xiaoqing, and teased: "How about it? You two foodies can't kill you, right?"
Everyone laughed, the next dish was Huadiao mutton, Hao Baoli picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and said beautifully: "Although Mr. wants to protect his throat and eat less spicy drinking, he is very obsessed with the fragrance of rice wine." Rest and pour a glass, endure the pain and cut love, only smell its mellow fragrance, and never drink it. ”
"Chef Wang carefully remembered that during the winter food supplement, based on years of experience and trial and error, he used a unique cooking method to integrate the aroma of Huadiao wine into the mutton, and finally made this dish. ”
"It not only has the freshness of mutton, but also retains the aroma of rice wine. After tasting it, Mr. Mei praised: Smell the mellow aroma of wine, the delicacy of eating meat, and get both fish and bear's paws. ”
One dish after another was served, everyone chatted while eating, Mei Lanfang deserved to be a literati, Meifu cuisine, with the form and spirit, there are auspicious and rich, fresh taste of peony prawns.
Sweet race milk, walnut cheese that nourishes qi and blood, shredded dragon's whiskers and fish that are not greasy and deboned, and peanut rice beef soup with clear soup and refreshing flavor......
For the relatively greasy gluttonous meal, this place is even more unique, and you can hear Mei Lanfang's singing outside the window at all times, which is relaxing and comfortable.
Hao Baoli left to greet the other guests, a bottle of red wine was down, and Johnson saw that the time was ripe, and said tentatively: "Mr. Chen set up his own studio to do it alone?"
"No way, people always have to eat. Chen Xiaoqing wiped her mouth and explained: "I am not the only one around, but also a team of more than a dozen people, and I can't get along with a dead salary." ”
"I don't know anything else, so I can only do my old job, shoot some documentaries and sell them to websites and TV stations, and my life is okay. ”
Johnson waited for this sentence and asked: "I remember that you made a lot of documentaries in the early days, not only focusing on environmental protection forest songs, but also focusing on the homes of migrant workers in the capital, and there should be military themes?"
