Qingzhu Mountain.
In the Taoist Holy Land, when a group of people stood in front of a small courtyard, everyone was a little unbelievable.
"Fellow, is this really the most authentic ginkgo stewed chicken?" Even Zhao Ziluo repeatedly asked for confirmation.
Don’t blame them for being doubtful.
The small yard in front of me is so dilapidated!
There are eight hundred Taoist temples on Qingzhu Mountain, but I have only seen such a dilapidated Taoist temple in my life.
Half collapsed.
The other half, not to mention the cornices and brackets, is not even complete.
The key is that there are still people living here!
The old man leading the way was wearing a bamboo hat and blue thick cloth. On the pole he was carrying were two large bamboo baskets filled with ginseng fruits.
"It's right here." The old man's wrinkled face spread out: "I've been doing it for decades... I started eating it when I was a child, and the taste has never changed in more than eighty years!"
"Young man, there are many places selling Qingzhushan Ginkgo Stewed Chicken now, but this is the only authentic one in Qingzhushan!"
Is... is it?
The old man left, and Chen Jing'an asked anxiously: "Director, do you want to use these pictures??"
It’s too low-grade!
Will it leave a bad impression of Jincheng Province to people from other provinces?
Zhao Ziluo looked at him deeply, invited everyone to sit together, and then said: "This is the first large-scale food documentary in China."
"But what we filmed were actually human fireworks."
Human fireworks!
These four words made everyone's eyes brighten.
Chen Jing'an felt goosebumps all over his body. Four simple words, but the clouds and the sun appeared, allowing him to see a whole new world!
As for what that world is, he still can't see clearly.
But with this deafening voice, this trip has been complete! !
Zhao Ziluo smiled slightly when he saw everyone's breathing was rapid and they wanted to speak but didn't know how.
The reason why "A Bite of China" on Earth is successful is because of these four words!
The so-called fireworks in the world do not mean standing high in an office building during the day, nor do they mean being dignified in front of others after signing a big deal.
But when the lights are on, the parents are short-lived.
Therefore, "A Bite of China" abandons the routines of previous food programs - big restaurants, celebrity chefs, and gourmets.
Instead, it leads to a secluded place and warms people's hearts with a little bit of homely knowledge.
That’s what people say.
The "story" of each of its delicacies complements each other!
Zhao Ziluo didn't explain much.
These four sentences will be the mainstream of future documentaries.
If he can understand, he will continue to lead.
Whether it's breakfast, late-night snacks, or documentaries such as Great Powers and Weapons, there is a strong atmosphere of fireworks mixed into it.
If you can't understand it, you can only work in the second line.
After waiting for five or six minutes, he finally asked Ma Dong to knock on the gyms.
After explaining their intention and negotiating for a long time, the Taoist priest finally agreed to cook ginkgo chicken stew for them.
"Isn't it just a chicken stew with ginkgo seeds...so troublesome..."
Ma Donglai, who was thirsty from the negotiation, was a little dissatisfied.
But when they saw the two Taoists going to fetch water five kilometers away, everyone fell silent.
Zhao Ziluo immediately took out 10,000 yuan and put it on the altar table: "Sorry, Taoist Priest, a little money for incense is not a sign of respect."
The Taoist Master glanced at it lightly: "I made this white jade phoenix for you out of sincerity, not for incense."
Zhao Ziluo motioned for the camera to move away.
The money on the table magically disappeared!
The Taoist priest's face was already full of smiles: "Oh, layman, you're so polite, you're so polite..."
Chen Jing'an, Ma Donglai, etc.:...
You're not being polite anymore.
It’s insight.
As the Buddhist saying goes, you and I have no predestined relationship and all rely on me to spend money.
"A lot of people in Qingzhushan can make this white jade phoenix. But the taste is completely different."
With the incense money, the Taoist priest became much more enthusiastic.
He pointed to the two young Taoist priests who were out carrying water and said: "This water must be from the Qinglong Bridge five kilometers away."
Zhao Ziluo turned to look at Tian Youshan: "Is there such a place??"
Tian Youshan spread out the Qingzhu Mountain tourist map, his eyes full of question marks: "No... I didn't see it."
The Taoist priest twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Of course you can't find it."
"Not even the young Taoist priests on Qingzhu Mountain know this place. It is said to be the dojo where the Heavenly Master sat in Wang. Behind the green bamboo forest, under the peach blossom cliff, there is a three-meter waterfall."
"This chicken is from Qingzhushan Purple Crown Chicken."
Everyone was in high spirits.
Originally, they thought there was something delicious about this kind of rural desolation.
But when I actually took the photo, I found that I was actually very interested!
Everyone listened with great interest! !
The Taoist priest smiled and said: "Qingzhu Mountain Purple Crown Chicken is only found in Qingzhu Mountain."
"Raised naturally, it looks exactly like other chickens when it's young. But after it grows bigger, it's unknown what it ate on the mountain. The cock's comb becomes like purple jade, so it's also known as the Purple Crown Fairy."
"Also, the ingredients are all collected from mushrooms around Qinglong Bridge, as well as dried bamboo fungus."
"Mountains are different from water. Outside of this place, it is not called White Jade Phoenix, it is just ordinary ginkgo stewed chicken."
There is also this saying... Chen Jing'an's eyes were intense and he took pictures of everything.
Ever since I heard the words "human fireworks". Countless images have appeared in his mind.
Inspiration is pouring out like a fountain, and I can’t hold it back!
When all the ingredients were ready, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
All of them were treasures from the mountains, and they also saw the appearance of the Purple Crown Immortal with their own eyes.
"It's really purple!" Zhao Qiang touched the cockcomb curiously.
"The look in the eyes is also different..."
Ordinary chickens are mostly red, yellow and black.
But the feathers of the Purple Crown Fairy are three colors of basket white!
Kill the chicken and make soup.
As the spring water poured into the pot, the Taoist priest carefully took out a pack of ginkgo nuts.
"This ginkgo is not an ordinary thing."
"Ginkgo, also called ginkgo, is the city tree of Hongjiang City."
"There is a scenic spot in Qingzhu Mountain called Tianshi Cave, which is where Tianshi attained enlightenment."
"There is a tall ginkgo tree right at the door. According to legend, it was planted by the Heavenly Master when he was enlightened. It has been two thousand years ago."
Ma Donglai couldn't help but ask: "Is it really two thousand years?"
"No." Unexpectedly, the Taoist priest smiled and said, "But there may have been in the past thousand years."
Zhao Ziluo has also seen it.
The tree was withered and had no leaves in winter, but there were new shoots in spring and summer.
I didn’t expect it to actually work out!
Chen Jing'an swallowed.
He just thinks this program is getting more and more interesting!
It’s really completely different from previous food shows!
Now, they are actually tasting the Millennium Ginkgo!
"Perhaps it is because of these legends that Qingzhushan ginkgo chicken stew is so famous..."
After one o'clock, the ginkgo stewed chicken was finally ready.
The soup base is clear with golden fat floating in it.
The muscles are pure white, not the golden color of regular chicken.
The ginkgo is milky white, like floating pearls.
Zhao Ziluo scooped up a spoonful of soup, and as soon as he entered the mouth, a fragrance rushed straight to his head!
"Zi..." He couldn't help but glance at the Taoist leader in surprise.
"I go……"
"What does this smell like!"
"Is this ginkgo stewed chicken? I've climbed Qingzhu Mountain so many times, don't lie to me!"
"What the hell did I eat before!"
Everyone exclaimed after tasting a spoonful of soup.
gourmet food.
Definitely a rare delicacy!
The stewed chicken soup is delicious, but not oily.
It’s the combination of fruit, fungi, and chicken, and the three pull each other together to form a very complex taste!
Not greasy at all, but refreshing!
"Do you know how this film should be shot?"
Everyone was thoughtful, especially Chen Jing'an.
At this point, they no longer dare to say that the food documentary has failed.
This is another eccentric movie!
"Start from humanities, shoot people's lives, and put the passion for life in food..." Chen Jing'an has slowly come up with an idea, and he said solemnly: "Although I am not sure about the ratings yet."
“But the shooting techniques alone have given me enough inspiration!”
In the past, documentaries, so-called humanities and histories, mostly talked about the humanities in history!
What people were like back then.
Why did people do this at that time.
But there aren’t even any documentaries focusing on the current situation!
Not that it’s unexpected.
But I can’t take a picture!
Documentaries carry history.
Everyone is living the current life, how can it become history?
Either take pictures of the changes in the commune canteen, or take pictures of the rise and fall of state-owned factories.
These can barely be called history.
But... many people's parents have experienced these things, so why do others want to watch the documentary?
Free?
But "China on the Bite of the Tongue" is different!
The focus is still on modern times.
But the content is consistent with ancient and modern times!
On the land of China, what best embodies historical heritage is, of course, food!
Eight major cuisines, every snack in every county!
It can be said that every food has its own story!
This is the inheritance of culture!
Before filming, he had never thought that someone could have such an ingenious mentality and perfectly connect the past and the present.
Even during the filming, he didn't react.
Now that he calmed down, he figured it out.
It was this realization that made him so excited that his body was trembling!
This is a documentary plan that spans the ages!
"Perhaps, its ratings won't be too high."
“But in the future, whenever documentary is mentioned, it will be the name that cannot be avoided!”
Thinking about his name being recorded in the history of China's film and television industry made him so excited that he couldn't help but feel excited!
What he thought of, other people thought of some, and some people just had some vague insights.
But this did not hinder everyone's work enthusiasm doubled!
The entire Jincheng, starting from Hongjiang, in the past month, their footprints have spread all over the north and south of Jincheng.
Xizhou’s beef noodles, Nanhong’s beef cakes, Yunchuan’s intestine rice noodles... delicacies that are famous locally but not well-known nationally have been unearthed.
The more they do it, the more interesting they feel!
This is the beauty of documentaries!
Let people see all over the country and know that our magnificent country is so rich in resources and treasures and has outstanding people!
In the blink of an eye, it’s already December.
After two months of running around, everyone is a little tired and a little darker.
They have just come out of the mountains now.
This is the northwestmost part of Hongjiang River, Xianba County.
Here is the most famous bacon in Jincheng, and in December, the aroma of smoked bacon can be heard all over the mountain!
Content that can only be captured during this time of year.
Everyone is talking a lot. The previous shooting was an eye-opener for them. Who would have thought that smoking bacon can carve the fruity flavor into the meat?
At this moment, Zhao Ziluo's phone rang.
"Hello, Teacher Kong Fang."
A polite voice rang out: "I am a staff member of the Flying Eagle Award Organizing Committee. You can just call me Xiao Zhao."
"Your red carpet show is the finale this Friday. Do you think there is any problem?"
