Xining is an ancient plateau city with a long history and an important part of the culture of the Yellow River Basin of China.
It is also the eastern gateway of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the southern route of the ancient Silk Road and the only place where the ancient Tang and Tibetans passed.
Since ancient times, this place has been an important transportation artery and military center in the northwest. It is known as the key to the West Sea and the throat of the sea. It is one of the world's high-altitude cities.
The hotel that the program crew arrived at was naturally booked by the advancing troops, but it would not be shown on camera.
Near the hotel where you are staying is the famous local Daxin Street Night Market, where you can taste most of the specialties of Qingdao Province.
Therefore, the first thing people do when they put down their luggage is to rush there to solve the problem of eating that night, which is also one of the shooting plans.
Taking into account the huge passenger flow in the night market, Liu Hua informed the hotel in advance that they would arrange some security forces.
A variety show shooting like this is not suitable for guests to travel in full gear, otherwise it would miss the point of the show.
Fortunately, the hotel was very capable. Not only did they organize some security guards in a short period of time, but they also invited personnel from the local police station to provide help.
Of course Although the locals are still very happy about the arrival of the whole program, after all, there is the example of Rongcheng in front of them, and no one wants their hometown to be publicized.
Daxin Street Night Market uses tent stalls to attract tourists. Of course, there are more open-air stalls, and almost many businesses have their own promotional methods, such as Sichuan Opera "face-changing" artists, free karaoke, and even small bands. The presence.
As soon as they appeared, they attracted more and more onlookers, shouting the names of the guests one after another.
And everyone among the guests is well known by people here. In addition to the cheers Liu Qingshan received, Zheng Jun is obviously also very famous here.
Even Taylor, Yao Beina, Liu Hua, and Wang Baoqiang were constantly recognized. On the contrary, when it was Jinxi Shanshi's turn, people were more likely to shout out one of her works, or directly shout Zhen Huan.
Due to the good security measures, despite the large number of onlookers, it did not cause any congestion.
This also keeps the traveling speed of a group of people smooth.
Because there are many Hui people here, most of the food stalls on the street have the word "halal" hanging on them.
Senger and Xueer did not dare to bring it out, but needed Wang Baoqiang and Fan Shengyang to purchase some fresh meat and send it back to the hotel, so the first place they came to was a mutton soup restaurant.
But not every store has ready-made and sufficient fresh beef and mutton. It took me visiting many stores to buy enough.
Fortunately, there are many halal restaurants here, so it doesn’t take long to gather enough ingredients.
After the two of them sent away the ingredients, the others began to shop slowly one by one.
Similar to the night markets in other areas, this place mainly sells seafood and barbecue, as well as various local specialties such as hand-caught mutton and local hot pot. It is also a dazzling array of products. In front of the rows of creative stalls, there is an endless stream of tourists. Absolutely.
The night market here is large in scale and combines nighttime consumption items such as catering, leisure, and entertainment with cultural elements, making it one of the city's representative night markets.
And due to its geographical location, the ethnic characteristics here are more intense. The Tangbo Ancient Road-style shopping mall-style sightseeing snack street built by gathering humanities, folk customs and other resources from the northwest region is quite unique.
Especially foreigners like Jin Xishan and Taylor love shopping. They almost have to stay for a long time before reaching a stall.
The people here are very enthusiastic. Once they stop somewhere, people in the crowd will take the initiative to introduce the local characteristics of the stall.
There are also people who actively pass the food they bought at unknown times into their hands.
With Liu Qingshan by their side, the two girls didn't have to worry about any accidents, they could just stuff food into their mouths.
As a result, the two of them were already full of food without spending a penny.
According to people’s introduction, the night-time economy in the city here is booming, and many night markets, business districts, and food streets have even become places for Internet celebrities to check in.
What's more, because night markets are connected to residents' lives and consumption, and to business recovery and economic development, this form of behavior has received strong official support, and it is actually more lively at night than during the day.
Under the illumination of white ball lights, there are dozens or hundreds of green and white stalls. Some stall owners are selling chicken feet, yogurt, candies, some are making mobile phone films, and some are selling various accessories. , socks, bouquets, fish, etc.
The snack area is filled with delicious steam everywhere, as if the whole city is enveloped in fireworks.
Since it was already after nine o'clock in the evening, it was the busiest time for business in the night market. Not only were there more and more people, but from time to time there were beautiful songs or cheers floating in the wind.
Later, Yao Beina also joined the camp of the two girls, and her usually shy character gradually became lively and cheerful. Soon she was running around chattering like Jin Xishan and Taylor, and her excitement was unparalleled.
They don't seem to care at all that there are cameras around them all the time. They almost have to squeeze in to take a look at a stall that is smoking.
This was very difficult for the three cameramen who were following them. Not only did they have to be ready to squeeze into the crowd at any time, but they also had to be careful not to appear in the lenses of other cameras.
In the end, Liu Qingshan couldn't bear it and said something, telling them not to care about whether he was being filmed or not. There would be post-editing at that time. This made the three masters act much more calmly.
You must know that they are carrying heavy machines on their bodies, and it is not pleasant to crawl through the crowd.
Zheng Jun also changed his usual attitude of not letting strangers in. He ate the mutton skewers handed over by someone while walking, his eyes still glistening as he looked around at the various snacks. Drool almost dripped from the corners of my mouth.
Squid, beef skewers, and tofu are sizzling on the iron plate, stinky tofu is rolling in the oil pan, and the sound of decompressing lemon juice can be heard in your ears.
This kind of situation is difficult for any star to encounter. Even rock singers who always regard themselves as noble can hardly resist the huge temptation of folk fireworks.
He was surrounded by legendary band members who were even more greedy than him and were drooling. These foreigners were increasingly interested in all the delicacies here.
Liu Qingshan walked more with Liu Hua. Now Liu Hua has been with him since he was a child. His reputation among the people is no longer as familiar as before, but he is easily called by his name.
Moreover, this man was diligent and eloquent, and was more popular with onlookers than Liu Qingshan along the way.
Moreover, his speech is humorous and can often win a burst of laughter with just a few words. With his presence, Liu Qingshan saves a lot of trouble talking.
All he had to do was happily follow the crowd. Occasionally, he would sit down at a stall and greet people for food, and Liu Hua would help and take care of them one by one.
Soon afterwards, Wang Baoqiang also chased after him. This guy is currently very popular because his "Soldier Assault" is currently being broadcast on three TV stations.
Therefore, his arrival made many people who had not seen him before exclaim that this guy is also very good at getting things done. The older ones are called uncle and aunt, and the younger ones are called big brother and big sister. They are so sweet.
A star who is so capable of doing things will naturally only receive praise from onlookers. Liu Qingshan took the time to laugh and scold him: "You stole the limelight from all of us. When this issue is cut, you will probably have the highest appearance rate!"
Wang Baoqiang has been with Xueyu Entertainment for a long time and knows his boss's speaking style. He doesn't care at all about Liu Qingshan's pretended jealousy.
He happily said: "Boss, don't say that. I can't sing. Most of the limelight belongs to you. If I don't show more performance in this area, I won't be a permanent guest in future filming!"
Liu Hua laughed loudly: "Actually, I have similar worries, so I tried my best to show it just now!"
二
The people looked at each other and smiled, but Liu Qingshan was so happy: "Why, do you all have the idea of participating in the filming of the next season?"
Wang Baoqiang curled his lips: "Only a fool would miss such an opportunity. Not only will this program have extremely high ratings, but traveling with you will also be welcomed by everyone, and there will be advertising fees. This is comparable to It’s much easier to film!”
Liu Hua also added fuel to the fire: "Although it will be harder on the road, this kind of life experience is not that easy to experience. When I look back when I get older, the hardships along the way will be the best memories, and it can be regarded as a life worth living." Come on!"
This may sound a bit exaggerated, but actually if you think about it carefully, it is quite realistic.
Not everyone has the time and financial resources to travel all over the world. The more experience you have, the richer your life experience will be.
On the contrary, the smooth past is easier for people to forget. Ordinariness can never replace the frustrations. The memories of the hard process are the most profound.
The stall that ordered them to stop at the moment was the roasted sweet potato skin stall. This delicacy with local characteristics has a more unique halal smell than the traditional vegetarian skewers in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, but the smell will only increase ordinary desires.
The roasted sweet potato skins here also have more flavors, including vegetarian ones, beef-added ones, and Thai-style ones with chicken feet added in. The preparation method is somewhat similar to Northeastern grilled cold noodles.
There are many small bubble-like bumps on the surface of the freshly roasted sweet potato skin. It must be eaten while it is hot. It is crispy on the outside and soft and waxy on the inside, with a deep-fried flavor.
Then apply spicy sauce, sprinkle some cumin powder, chili powder, and five-spice powder, add chopped green onion, chopped leeks, and diced red vinegar radish and roll it up. In a short while, the three women shouted that it was delicious.
This special roasted sweet potato skin is not only tempting in taste, but also a blessing to have eaten. It is charred on the outside and soft on the inside, and full of spicy flavor.
If paired with a glass of cold draft beer, the feeling of comfort from the inside out can easily satisfy people.
Especially the foreigners in the band couldn't wait for the stall owner to make them one by one. They gathered around the boss and took turns taking a bite, and the praises never stopped.
Liu Qingshan also took advantage of the crowd's attention and gave the hybrid to director Gong Jian, allowing all the staff to buy whatever they wanted, and the program team paid for it anyway.
