My documentary really doesn't want high ratings

"About mentoring, about sect, about pondering, about epiphany."

"Whether you are in a bustling city or in a back alley in the countryside."

"The taste of the world is spread on the square-inch dining table like this."

"Intertwined in the cold and warm world."

This episode of "Bite of the Tongue 2" is quite Chinese.

An old man standing alone on the street amidst the constant traffic.

Then go to the kitchen and look at the apprentice thinking about the spatula in his hand.

In the green rice field, the farmer uncle is patrolling.

And then to the urban white-collar who is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a high-rise building, meditating.

Everyone's expressions are so profound.

It seems that there are always a thousand words of melancholy that can't be said.

For children, rivers and lakes are heroism.

For adults, rivers and lakes are sophistication.

For the elderly, the rivers and lakes are the parents' shortcomings.

Different ages have different explanations.

Just like the different foods that appear in the picture.

From the boiling hot hot pot, to the steaming cooking in the big iron pot.

All kinds of food come from such market life.

Be developed, food taste changes.

With the chef's thousands of attempts and thinking.

And the rivers and lakes on the tip of the tongue come from the taste of food.

the end of the screen.

The title of the episode appears.

【Jianghu night rain】

Seeing this, Ellie paused slightly.

As an American.

She was not able to be infected by the artistic conception of the rivers and lakes shown in the documentary.

For her, what she is most exposed to is the individual heroism of superheroes.

But what made her feel novel.

How do the two words "river and lake" link together in food documentaries?

"In the Hanjiang Plain in midsummer, the late rice is not yet ripe."

"But in the ditch beside the field, there is a harvest."

In a green rice field, an old man is watching all this.

Green represents vitality.

This green also represents livelihood.

But today's protagonist is obviously not this piece of paddy that is still in its infancy.

The scene changed and the old man came to the lake.

Get into the canoe and use a bamboo pole to prop the boat away from the lake.

With the rippling of the lake, the boats began to float slowly on the lake.

It is said to be a lake, but it is not actually counted.

Because it is obviously a long and narrow shoal excavated by man.

Planted next to the rice field, while nourishing the rice field, it also breeds other delicacies.

"The ecstasy array hidden under the water is called the "ground cage"."

"Once the prey gets in, it's hard to escape the snare."

"Unique terroir and an ecosystem where rice and shrimp are co-cultured."

"And make Hu Perylene the largest crayfish producing area in China."

The old man skillfully took out the caught crayfish from the top of the ground cage.

Pour it into the bucket that was prepared earlier.

A bright red crayfish appeared in the picture.

Eli was taken aback.

Immediately smiled.

Americans also like to eat crayfish.

Faced with such familiar ingredients, Avery naturally felt very kind.

"Crayfish, 40 years ago, Chinese people were still a strange species that was rarely seen."

"Today, it is already a regular guest on people's dinner table."

"And derived a very different flavor."

In the hands of Chinese people who are good at pondering.

This species that came across the ocean has now developed many ways to eat it.

From "steamed crayfish" to "spicy crayfish".

Then from "crayfish in tomato sauce" to "thirteen-flavored crayfish."

All kinds of crayfish indicate the highly respected status of this species in China.

Ellie was also a little surprised.

Crayfish have been in the United States for so many years.

There has always been only one way to eat it.

That's a stew with spices, onions, and potatoes and carrots.

Far from having so many different flavors.

The screen turns.

Came to an ordinary small courtyard.

A middle-aged man with a somewhat generous body is patrolling.

In the small courtyard, there are many people cleaning the crayfish.

"This is an ordinary crayfish shop in Huperan Qianjiang."

"Because it is backed by the production area, it has a unique source of ingredients."

"The smoldering sweet and spicy flavor of Wangyou has won the favor of the locals."

The crayfish are still alive and kicking in the back kitchen, after being cooked by the chefs.

It has turned bright red, and pots of crayfish full of appetite are brought out.

Let the whole picture be full of flavor.

"20 years ago, Lao Li, an oilfield worker, set up a cooking stove in front of his yard."

"Become the first batch of people here to cook crayfish."

"The competition in the catering arena is fierce, and the flavor trend of crayfish is changing rapidly."

"Some people choose to stick to it, while others choose to break through."

The boss, who has experienced hardships, can't find the slightest expression of complaint.

On the contrary, he faced the camera with a smile and told about his most difficult time.

choices made.

It seems that food has nothing to do with life.

But at first glance, it is also closely related.

Even Avery nodded secretly in his heart.

Ancient wisdom is not without its reason.

"Crayfish, the fastest growing ingredient in Huaguo in recent years."

"The annual output has exceeded 100 million tons."

"But many people don't know that crayfish are actually an invasive species."

"Its origin is far away in the United States on the other side of the ocean."

The voice of the narration had just finished speaking, and a series of familiar streets appeared in front of Avery.

Ellie was stunned, and couldn't help blurting out.

"Isn't this... New Orleans?"

As my hometown where I grew up.

Avery knew New Orleans all too well.

"The United States, Louisiana, about 200 years ago."

"Residents here started using crayfish."

"Every year at the turn of spring and summer, people gather for crayfish."

Chinese people catch crayfish and pay attention to public breeding of rice and shrimp.

The Americans, on the other hand, are more straightforward.

A large shallow lake, all used to raise crayfish.

As soon as the screen changed, the farmer who had finished fishing was resting.

Eyes from time to time looking at the side of the road.

It seems to be expecting something.

"Thomas was welcoming family and friends over the weekend."

"The picnic during the crayfish harvest season requires everyone to participate."

"While boiling, add corn, potatoes and mushrooms."

"Sprinkle with kajan powder, a seasoning that's unique to Louisiana."

"Mixed with lemon juice, simplicity has always been the style of rice cooking."

"Using a boat as a dining table, you can feel unrestrained and carefree."

The picnic in the picture is quite interesting.

Everyone adds a variety of ingredients and seasonings together.

Wait until the seasoning is fully in contact with the shrimp.

Then dump the crayfish into the boat.

A circle of people gathered around the boat.

While enjoying the fruits of short-term labor, chatting and laughing happily.

Food is always accompanied by joy.

Such a carefree and free scene made Ellie take a deep breath.

I began to miss the feeling when I was in my hometown.
