The seventh cousin still remembered 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……
The Old Song family still had to eat, so they had no choice but to pick up a big spoon and make four dishes and one soup.
When the large stainless steel 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 when shooting in remote environments, it is normal to cook a big pot of rice. But the problem is that your pot is too big, right?
Counting a few more in the restaurant——
The simple and representative farmer Song Youde and his wife, Song Tan's family of four, the black-faced chef and his wife, a gangster and his robbed and 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 Lotus went to the mountain to eat with her mother-in-law.
The total number is only 12 people, but with these four large basins placed on the table, thirty people can be fed.
The dishes are also ordinary, 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 more mixed in other places, but here...
Accompanied by Song Youde's polite greeting: "Come and eat everything. There's nothing to eat, so you're welcome!"
The director acted like lightning and quickly put his chopsticks into the big basin in front of him. Without even seeing what it was, he pinched the chopsticks hard.
Oh! Braised dried fish cubes!
The dried fish cubes are mixed with agastache, and those who are not used to eating them 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 attracted by the firmness, chewiness, and flavor of the dried fish cubes.
I was overwhelmed by the unique and fragrant 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, it is rare for everyone to see this kind of scene.
Everyone who comes to the house for the first time does this.
Even if it is not the first time, for example, Dr. Xiao Guo and Party Secretary Xiao Zhu, they are holding bowls and eating from which bowl they turn to, not caring whether they are fat or whether they like the ingredients.
Just eat! Just eat quickly!
…
By the middle of the meal, my sanity has returned and my courage has recovered.
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 does it mean [no need to be too delicate]? 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 cheapest vegetable wholesale price is 20 per catty. Are you sure you want me to provide it to the crew?"
Director: ...I forgot about the price of good things again.
He snorted: "Well, can it be reserved for directors only?"
"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 to eat. Besides, it's not troublesome to cook one for you alone, so you can just follow the crew and eat from the big pot."
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 were quite stable, but they often stayed up late and worked overtime to film night scenes.
But the tears in the corners of my eyes and the rice in my mouth seemed to taste even sweeter.
The director had no choice but to nod humbly:
"Oh well."
"But when I leave, can you sell me some of your food?"
Then there is no problem with this. It just so happens that the food on the mountain is 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 back mountain dormitory.
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 very novel thing in his eyes!
After he asked a few questions at this moment, the director immediately noticed it and said quickly:
"Actually, the scenery here is very beautiful. If tourism is opened up, 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."
According to his idea, tourists would come when there was money to spend, but not when there was no scenery. Everyone would eat one meal but not another. The money they earned was not stable, and they were still feeling panicked.
As farmers, we should keep our feet on the ground and only feel secure when we see the harvest coming 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 can see these flowers blooming every day, and many people in the village even tremble."
"When it bears fruit later, everyone will appreciate it even more."
When he said this, he became proud again: "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."
"Maybe tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people can appreciate it by then!"
Director: ...Why is this so simple?
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 film crew comes to film a movie, or the actors can promote it online, business will be more prosperous, right?"
Hotter?
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 representative rural enterprise? Will there be awards? Will county leaders come?"
"Tantan 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 production 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 Xiao Zhu knows a lot of people. I just invited him casually - guess what?!"
Song Sancheng's eyebrows were full of joy and pride:
"We slaughtered pigs 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 thing?"
