Chapter 477: The Long History and Culture of Koufuduo
In the rental house on Guangping Street, Jiang Yichen and Ma Detao sat on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
In the program of Qiongzhou Tourism Satellite TV, there was a shot of a Koufuduo chain store.
"Ladies and gentlemen, behind me, it is a very special snack, everyone has already seen the sign, yes, it is called Koufu multi-layer cake. Ah, there are so many people, it seems to be very popular. Let's take a look at the mysteries. ”
In the TV screen, the hostess introduced with a smile, turned her head to the side, and blinked her big eyes to sell cuteness. Then he turned and approached the team, and began to look for a target for an interview.
"Excuse me, this eldest sister, do you buy this kind of food often?" She handed the microphone to a woman with her hair permed into large curls.
"Well, I come here every morning to line up. It's not for this little ancestor to make trouble. Yo, who let you play with stones, how dirty, hurry up and throw it away! Otherwise, you won't be allowed to eat the cake for a while. The other party responded, and turned to teach the little boy next to him.
"This gentleman, do you come here every day?" The microphone shifted to the target, a man with glasses who had just bought something and left the group.
"Ahh Sneeze. Oh, I'm sorry. The man turned his head and sneezed twice in succession.
"Do you have a cold?"
"Oh no, the cake I bought is mustard-type, it tastes special, but I like it."
………
The hostess interviewed several customers in a row, and then, with the permission of the people in line, gave priority to the purchase of a lasagna.
"The color is golden, crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside, and the aroma is very strong, um. The taste is indeed delicious and delicious. She showed the cake close to the camera and tasted it herself, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Wow, she looks so good, and her figure is smooth. And temperament. It would be nice to come and interview me someday. Ma Detao's attention was on the other side, and let out a sigh of admiration.
"Interview you? If you want to come to an improvisational bodybuilding show, you can't scare people away. Jiang Yichen sneered. You must know that the tall guy next to him likes to show off his developed muscles in front of the opposite sex when he was in school.
"You're so perverted."
Just when they thought that the food show was about to end, the camera on the screen turned to an indoor scene.
The hostess sat on the Taishi chair, and the new interview subject next to her was a middle-aged and elderly man in Tang costume in his fifties and sixties, with a thin figure, high cheekbones, and three wisps of mouse's beard on his chin.
"Where did you dig up this antique?" Ma Detao said dissatisfiedly. I feel that this dignity is really sorry for the beautiful host, bad reviews.
Jiang Yichen felt a little familiar, pondered for a while, and remembered, he should be one of the earliest dealers of Koufuduo, remembering that when he fought with a neighbor's female boss over the goods of mille-feuille, Zhang Fenglan summoned them together for mediation, and he also gave them a free socialist spiritual civilization education class.
But then because the stall was bigger. There are special people in charge of all aspects, and I have never dealt with these dealers again.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Today we had the pleasure of interviewing the general director of the 'Koufuduo Dealers Association'. President Hu, could you please tell us about the origin of the Koufu Thousand Layer Cake? The hostess introduced the interviewee's identity and handed the microphone over.
"Hello everyone." President Hu said unhurriedly, with a calm demeanor and a leader's style.
"Ho. If you look like a dog, you will still look like you. Ma Detao pouted.
After a few polite words, President Hu began to dictate.
"That was hundreds of years ago. According to legend, during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde ...... Micro-service travel for pleasure ....... guard... Passing through the Lingjiang area, I didn't expect lightning and thunder. Rainstorms...... Damp, cold and hungry... The small shop at the head of the village shelters from the rain... The owner serves a kind of pasta... Long Yan Dayue, even claiming to be good... The mouth is not shallow....ask about the name of the food....The owner makes homemade snacks, and has never chosen a name... Emperor Zhengde asked the guards to take the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and waved the pen on the spot, leaving the ink treasure, stamped with the seal, and the font size of the thousand-layer cake was blessed by the emperor... The shopkeeper fell to his knees and shouted "Long live"...and has been passed down to this day... It has become one of the most representative traditional foods in the river..."President Hu talked eloquently, introducing the long history and culture of Koufuduo to the audience.
"Hahaha, it turned out to be a big fool. Hahahaha. Ma Detao put down his beer glass and laughed.
Fortunately, the beer was already in my stomach, otherwise I would have to squirt out.
Jiang Yichen's face was embarrassed, and he was uncomfortable for a while. I've heard of this legend before, and I don't know which do-gooder originally wrote it, but I remember that there were several other versions of it at the same time.
At that time, I thought that this kind of cottage story was unbearable, and it was estimated that few people would believe it, and it would disappear in a short time, so I didn't care too much.
Unexpectedly, as the president of the federation, this Boss Hu was so imprudent, and he dared to put the story on the table and sell it to other people's satellite TV programs in a serious manner. You must know that it is not a small local TV station, if you look back and play gangs, wouldn't it be a shame to throw yourself to grandma's house.
On the screen, the interview is still going on. The beautiful host was quite cooperative and expressed her admiration for the glorious history of Koufudo.
"Later, after several generations of continuous improvement... Secret recipes....as many as 38 complex processes... Careful selection of ingredients... Chain management....unique mouth blessing multi-culture....spirit... Carry it forward..."President Hu continued to explain, his face was still as usual, showing his good psychological qualities.
At this time, he paused for a moment, picked up the blue and white bowl from the square table, put it to his mouth and took a sip.
The camera zoomed in at the right time, and I saw that the words XX high mountain tea were clearly displayed on the bowl.
"Damn, it's still with product placement, this old guy must have taken a lot of benefits." Ma Detao reacted immediately.
The show lasted about eight minutes before it ended, and the beautiful host thanked President Hu for accepting the interview in his busy schedule, and the guests and hosts said goodbye to each other in a friendly atmosphere. This is followed by the official advertising time.
Jiang Yichen frowned and thought with a calm face, while Ma Detao was lying on the sofa on his back and still having fun, and he was still shouting that there are no legends in the world, and there are many people who fool around, so the legends are created.
"Smack. Alright, alright, stop. Tomorrow, I will ask Zhang Fenglan to find the federation and make it clear to other TV stations together. Jiang Yichen slapped his thigh, feeling that this matter was not the right way after all, and it was better to correct it.
"What's clear? You're stupid. It's a thankless task. Ma Detao hurriedly sat up straight and spoke in disagreement.
"What then? This program has also been broadcast, if there are experts to verify it one day, wouldn't it be a shame to lose people? ”
"Tsk, look at what you're wondering, what expert would be full to dig into this matter? Didn't you hear me clearly? Everyone has said it, according to legend, what does it mean, that is folklore, and Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies have a way. Why don't you ask a historian to verify what the measurements of the seven fairies are? ”
Jiang Yichen gradually fell silent when he heard this.
"Besides, unless you take the initiative to apply for intangible cultural heritage or something, that's a matter, and a large group of experts and scholars have to check your bottom line. Nobody cares about anything else. In these days, are there still fewer kinds of messy folklore? In the first two years, several Gao Laozhuang popped up at once, okay, they all said that they were the original site where Zhu Bajie married his daughter-in-law, and the kang head of the cave house was well preserved. Some even took out the family tree of dozens of generations. How do you think this is verified? pinched the dog's hair and flew around, what's the matter, in the end, no one will let it, and it's not their own business. As long as there are tourists who can make money. Ma Detao advised.
Now the tourism industry is thriving, and the economic development has achieved remarkable results, so the tourism resources have become even more popular. All localities are deeply exploring local resources, trying to find ways to get in touch with historical celebrities, and one point can be hyped into five points, even if there is really no that, it doesn't matter, you can use your brain to create and tell stories. Of course, crashes are often unavoidable, and such incidents are often reported in the press.
Jiang Yichen shook his head, sighed, and then gave up the idea that had just popped up. Forget it, anyway, I didn't make it up on my own initiative, so let's go with the flow and love it.
"But that old guy just now is also disgusting." Ma Detao's face suddenly became stern.
"How?"
"There is no forgiveness in cheating on beautiful women!" Ma Detao gritted his teeth and scolded.
"you." (To be continued......)
