"Material?"

Jiang Rongfang was a little surprised when she heard the guests from other provinces say what they meant.

Because her mother's Mandarin is relatively lame, when she learned that the other party wanted to communicate, Jiang Rongfang was responsible for the communication.

"That's right, we are actually members of the crew of a documentary, I am the main director Zheng Weijie, these are my colleagues, we are going to shoot a documentary about food barbecue, when we were collecting materials on the Internet, we found that you have this kind of barbecue here, so I came to collect materials."

Zheng Weijie glanced at the old man who was resting on the bamboo and rattan chair, which was also one of the reasons why he chose this place.

It is said that Jiang Ji barbecue started when Jiang Xiangmei was young and has a history of several decades, and Zheng Weijie feels that this kind of small shop with a long history is the most flavorful.

During the day the next day, when Jiang Ji's people were preparing the ingredients, Zheng Weijie and others observed on the sidelines, and conducted preliminary interviews by the way.

During this time, their main job is to select the shooting materials in advance and do a good job of communication, after all, it is impossible to wait until the time to shoot before running over with the equipment, in case of any emergency, it is not good.

"My grandmother started making barbecue, it was still a mobile stall, riding a tricycle, where there were many people, it was rainy in the summer on this side of Jingjiang, sometimes it rained, and it was done under the bridge hole, and at that time it was also called bridge hole barbecue."

Jiang Rongfang was also a little surprised while translating her grandmother's hometown dialect with a strong local accent.

She had never heard of these things in the past, and since she can remember, Jiang Ji Barbecue has also moved once, due to the rectification of the city's appearance, from the streets near the city center to this food street, and that was more than ten years ago.

"Later, I saved some money, and opened a shop in the back street of Jingjiang High School, usually some students come to eat barbecue, and then it gradually spread, and it gets bigger and bigger, and from time to time there are some teachers who catch and skip the evening self-study students to come and carry people, and eat a few skewers by the way."

The interview went on for a long time, and in the afternoon, the barbecue stall was about to open, and Zheng Weijie and others did not leave, they simply ordered some grilled fish and barbecue or something, and ate it on the spot.

They need to shoot some basic footage for future reference.

Zheng Weijie's idea is to rather indiscriminately, shoot more materials, find more barbecue stalls, as long as you feel that you can be photogenic, shoot them all, and then go back to screen, and then do further shooting, for example, this time, he collected the information of about 200 barbecue stalls in China through various research methods, and then screened, before June, he had to run at least 100 cities, traverse these barbecue stalls, and finally when the official shooting, shoot about 100 pieces of material in three to four months, and then make the final editing. In the end, it is estimated that there are only more than 20 barbecue stalls in the feature film.

This work arrangement is very tight, so even if it is close to the Spring Festival, Zheng Weijie still chooses to come out first to see the situation.

Jingjiang is located in the southwest inland, the climate is pleasant, even in winter, it is not so cold, and in the evening, the barbecue stall already has some customers.

"Boss, here are five strings of pig whips, three strings of pig eyes, and five strings of leeks ......"

A customer walked into the store with a few people in a hurry, speaking Mandarin but faintly audible some of the local accents.

"Come and sit here, now I'm ordering with a list."

Jiang Rongfang hurriedly beckoned the other party to sit down and handed over the menu.

"Oh yes, thank you, I haven't been here for a long time."

The customer took the menu, looked at each barbecue on it carefully and attentively, and solemnly wrote the quantity with a ballpoint pen.

"This place has not changed, how many years have passed, I told you, the special barbecue here is very delicious, don't be afraid, although it looks terrifying, it is fragrant in your mouth."

He said to the men he had brought with him, who were suspicious.

"This person looks like a regular customer?"

Zheng Weijie smelled the smell of the story, thought about it, and asked.

"Sir, are you a regular guest here?"

"Of course ......"

Before the guest finished answering, Jiang Rongfang's grandmother, who was barbecuing on the side, said with some disdain.

"Isn't this Sun Aimin from the fifth class before Jingzhong, I know, a little naughty ghost, very good, I haven't been here for almost twenty years."

Fortunately, Zheng Weijie has heard a lot of Jingjiang dialect in the past few days, and this dialect is not too difficult, and he almost understood the meaning of this old man.

"Boss, you still remember me???"

The customer couldn't help but stand up.

"Nonsense, every guest who came to me, I remember it clearly, you used to run away from home, and your mother found you, dragged home and hung up, and ......"

The old man said casually as if he were gossiping.

"Stop, stop, boss, I was wrong, don't say it."

The customer immediately told her to stop, after all, the people she brought over were acquaintances, and the fact that she was a child was too embarrassing.

"Wow, this boss is too powerful."

The female choreographer who was accompanying Zheng Weijie whispered that this customer looked to be thirty or forty years old, and he was about a high school student twenty years ago, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, the boss could still recognize him at a glance.

"I went out to work hard after graduating from high school, and then I went abroad, and I only returned to China a while ago to start a business, and when I went back to my hometown to pack up my things, I wanted to come here for a meal."

After Zheng Weijie and others explained the situation to the customer, the customer named Sun Aimin was a little embarrassed.

Sitting next to him is his wife, and the partner who started a business together, after many years, he has changed from a hairy student to an adult who is in charge of himself, but in the eyes of the boss, Sun Aimin is still the original young man.

The barbecue was quickly served, this seemingly dark food, but it was the taste of Sun Aimin's hometown.

One night, looking at the atmosphere of this barbecue restaurant, Zheng Weijie sighed a lot, first, the old man in charge of the barbecue, not only has superb skills, but also basically every guest who has come once, she can recognize it, and even remember what they like to eat, how many ingredients they have to eat.

The second is that he has a deeper understanding of what Xu Rui said before, Chinese people are subtle and introverted, and they don't like to show their feelings, but in every bit of detail, they are full of warmth, this small barbecue restaurant carries the childhood memories of countless people, and the unique dark barbecue is everyone's secret treasure.

The grandmother added not only chili peppers and cumin to the barbecue that she turned in her hand, but also the most important seasoning.

That's human affection.
