Seventh cousin still remembers the storyboard scene described by the director to Song Tan. With the three of them around, he didn't even want to cook dinner properly.
but…
Lao Song's family still had to eat, so he had no choice but to pick up a big spoon and make four dishes and one soup.
When the large stainless steel iron basin brought several dishes to the table, the director was dumbfounded while holding his chopsticks.
To be honest, they have had a lot of farmhouse meals. Sometimes they shoot in remote environments, and it is normal to cook a big pot of rice. But the problem is, your basin is too big, right?
Counting a few more in the restaurant—
The simple and representative farmer Song Youde and his wife, the heart-warming Song Tan family of four, the black-faced chef and his wife, a gangster and his robbed weak college student girlfriend (suspected), and a Sri Lankan The gentle, fair and handsome tutor, and the party secretary Xiao Zhu who warmly entertained them and paid a fair price...
Helper Lianhua went to the mountain to eat with her mother-in-law.
The full meal only lasts for 12 people, but with these four large basins placed on the table, thirty people can be fed.
Vegetables are also common, including stir-fried lettuce, eggs with green peppers, braised fish cubes, and braised pork with dried radish.
Finally there is a white fungus soup.
When all these dishes were served, the room was immediately filled with the smell of meat and vegetables. It might be a bit mixed in other places, but here...
Followed by Song Youde's polite greeting: "Come and eat, there's nothing to eat, so you're welcome!"
With lightning speed, the director quickly put his chopsticks into the big basin in front of him. Without even seeing what it was, he pinched the chopsticks hard.
Oh haha! Braised dried fish cubes!
Dried fish pieces are mixed with patchouli, and those who are not used to it may not taste it at all. But the director is a good director who is not picky about food. When he took a bite, he was instantly conquered by the firm and chewy dried fish pieces, but with the unique and delicious taste of fish!
His eyes widened, and he looked at the two cameras beside him. He held the bowl and started eating it in his mouth, as if he hadn't eaten in three days.
To be honest, everyone is familiar with this scene.
Every person who comes to the house for the first time is like this.
Even if it is not the first time, for example, Doctor Xiao Guo and Party Secretary Xiao Zhu, they are still holding bowls and eating from which bowl in front of them, not caring whether they are fat or whether they like the ingredients.
Just eat! Just eat it quickly!
…
By the middle of the meal, your sanity and courage have returned.
The director looked at Song Tan with great expectation and dared to think again:
“After the crew gets here, can your family provide daily meals? It doesn’t have to be elaborate, just like today.”
What is [no need to be too refined]? The seventh cousin put down his chopsticks with a dark face.
It’s true that wild boars can’t eat fine chaff. Do you know what it means to return to nature?
“Is your crew so rich?” Song Tan was also shocked.
“Among these vegetables, the wholesale price of the cheapest green vegetables is 20 per catty. Are you sure you want me to provide it to the crew?”
Director: ...I forgot again the price of good things.
He snorted: "Then, can it be reserved exclusively for directors?"
"No."
Song Tan shook his head: "Don't you all have three meals at irregular times when filming? It's impossible for our family to wait for you before eating. Besides, it's not troublesome to cook one for you alone, so you can just eat from the big pot with the crew."
What she said was so cold and heartless. This director who is quite popular in the industry has no dignity at all here.
He wanted to say that actually their three meals a day are quite stable, but they often stay up late and work overtime to film night scenes.
The director had no choice but to nod humbly:
"Oh well."
"But when I leave, can you sell me some of your vegetables?" That's no problem. The vegetables on the mountain are about to arrive, so it's time to notify Boss Chang.
As expected, they were full after dinner, so Song Sancheng simply took them for a walk to the dormitory in the back mountain.
The night wind was blowing quietly, the street lights were brightly illuminating the road, and the shadows of the trees on both sides were dancing. The four men felt quite safe walking on the road.
The person in the family who is interested in this director is probably Song Sancheng. After all, making TV is still a quite novel thing in his eyes!
At this moment, after he asked a few questions, the director immediately noticed it and said quickly:
“Actually, the scenery here is very beautiful. If tourism is opened, the entire rural economy will be boosted, right?”
Song Sancheng is an honest man.
He thought for a while: "Maybe. But I think the tourists who come are all fake. In terms of making money, growing vegetables is a long-term and stable business."
In his opinion, tourists would come when there was money to spend, but not when there was no business. Everyone would eat one meal but not another. The money they earned was not stable, and they were still feeling panicked.
Farmers should keep their feet on the ground and only feel secure if they see harvests step by step.
Director:…
Okay, okay, you rural people are the only ones who are upright, right?
He simply changed direction: "I saw your Qiaoqiao's live broadcast. The scenery on the mountain is so beautiful! Alas! It's a pity that no one appreciates it."
“Why doesn’t anyone appreciate it?”
Song Sancheng looked like you were joking: "We see these flowers blooming every day, and many people in the village even tremble."
“When you turn around and bear fruit, everyone will appreciate it even more.”
He became proud again when he said this: "You don't know, Tantan said that the production was not enough last year, so he was too embarrassed to sell it online. This fan has been following for so long, so this year he will sell more."
“Perhaps tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people will be able to appreciate it by then!”
Director: ...Why is this still so dry?
He cleared his throat: "Indeed, your products are really good. But if you only sell them online, wouldn't it be a bit too cumbersome and trivial?"
“If it can be rated as a representative enterprise in a rural or urban area, for example, if a crew comes to film a movie, or the actors can promote it online, business will be more prosperous, right?”
More popular?
Isn’t it quite popular now?
No matter how popular it is, there is nothing to sell. Why is it so popular?
Song Sancheng was an honest man, so he asked again:
“What is a rural representative enterprise? Will awards be given out? Will county leaders come?”
“Tan Tan went to the imperial capital to participate in some kind of Houji selection at the end of last year. They seemed to give us a certificate and a foreign language. They also said it was global and asked us to go abroad and become famous..."
“But she said there was no output at all. If she didn’t go, she would just get a title. In the future, the approval process for village construction may be faster..."
“This award is still acceptable. Everyone in the city knows about it. Party Secretary Xiaozhu knows a lot of people, so he invited me casually—guess what?!”
Song Sancheng was elated and elated:
“The pigs were slaughtered at the end of the year, and the mayor came to our house! He even took a photo with us. I hung it on the wall. Didn’t you see the photo?”
“What kind of representativeness are you talking about? Is this this kind of representation?”
