The Creator of the Second Dimension

"Take materials?"

Jiang Rongfang was a little surprised when she heard the guests from other provinces explain their intentions.

Since her mother's Mandarin is relatively poor, Jiang Rongfang was responsible for communicating when she learned that the other party wanted to communicate.

"Yes, we are actually members of a documentary film crew. I am the director Zheng Weijie who is mainly in charge. These are my colleagues. We are going to shoot a documentary about food and barbecue. When we were collecting materials on the Internet, we found you There is this kind of characteristic barbecue here, so I came here to get materials.”

Zheng Weijie glanced at the old man who was resting on the bamboo and rattan chair. This old man was also one of the reasons why he chose this place.

It is said that Jiang Ji BBQ started when the old man Jiang Xiangmei was young, and has a history of decades. Zheng Weijie thinks that this kind of small shop with a long history is the most delicious.

During the daytime of the next day, when Jiang Ji's people were preparing the ingredients, Zheng Weijie and others watched from the sidelines and conducted preliminary interviews by the way.

Their official shooting will be in the next year, in early summer. During this time, their main job is to select the materials for shooting in advance and do a good job in communication. After all, it is impossible to wait until the time to shoot before running over with the equipment. It's okay if something unexpected happens.

"My grandma first started making barbecue, and it was a mobile stall. She rode a tricycle and went wherever there were a lot of people. It is rainy in Jingjiang in summer. Sometimes it rains, and she does it under the bridge hole. At that time, it was called the bridge hole. barbecue."

Jiang Rongfang was a little surprised while translating the native dialect spoken by her grandma with a strong local accent.

She has never heard of these things in the past. As long as she can remember, Jiang Ji BBQ has only moved once. Due to the urban reorganization, it moved from the street near the city center to this food street, and that was already ten years old. It was a few years ago.

"Later, I saved some money and opened a shop in the back street of Jingjiang High School. Usually, some students come to eat barbecue. Later, it gradually spread, and it became bigger and bigger. From time to time, some students who escaped from late self-study were arrested. The teacher from here came to pick up people and eat a few skewers by the way."

The interview went on for a long time. In the afternoon, the barbecue stall was about to open, and Zheng Weijie and others didn't leave, so they simply ordered some grilled fish and barbecue, and ate it on the spot.

They need to shoot some basic footage for future reference.

Zheng Weijie's idea is to shoot more material than to lack, to find more barbecue stalls, as long as they feel that they can be photographed, they will be photographed, and then go back to screen and do further shooting. For example, this time, he has passed various researches The method is to collect the information of about 200 barbecue stalls across the country, and then screen them. Before June, they will travel to at least 100 cities to traverse these barbecue stalls. About 100 pieces of material were shot, and then the final editing was performed, and it was estimated that there were only more than 20 barbecue stalls that were finally presented in the feature film.

This work schedule is very tight, so even though the Spring Festival is approaching, Zheng Weijie still chooses to come out to check the situation first.

Jingjiang is located in the southwestern inland, and the climate is pleasant. Even in winter, it is not so cold. In the evening, the barbecue stall has already had some customers.

"Boss, here are five skewers of pig whips, three skewers of pig eyes, and five skewers of leeks."

A customer walked into the store with several people in a hurry. They spoke Mandarin, but they could vaguely hear some local accents.

"Come and sit here, now order with a list."

Jiang Rongfang hurriedly greeted the other party to sit down and handed over the menu.

"Oh, thank you, I haven't been here for a long time."

The customer took the menu, looked at each barbecue on it carefully and attentively, and solemnly wrote the quantity with a ballpoint pen.

"It hasn't changed here. It's been many years. Let me tell you that the special barbecue here is delicious. Don't be afraid. Although it looks scary, it tastes delicious in your mouth."

He said to the few people he had brought with him, they were skeptical.

"This person looks like a regular customer?"

Zheng Weijie smelled the story, thought about it, and asked.

"Sir, are you an old guest here?"

"of course"

Before the guest finished answering, Jiang Rongfang's grandmother, who was grilling beside her, spoke with some disdain.

"Isn't this Sun Aimin from Class 5 before Jingzhong? I know it. You little mischievous guy. You're very smart. You haven't been here for almost twenty years."

Fortunately, Zheng Weijie has heard a lot of Jingjiang dialect these days, and this dialect is not too difficult. He almost understood what this old man meant.

"Boss, you still remember me???"

The customer couldn't resist standing up.

"Nonsense, I remember clearly every guest who came to my place. You used to run away from home, and your mother came here, dragged you home, hung you up, and beat you."

The old man said it casually, just like gossip.

"Stop, stop, boss, I was wrong, stop talking."

The customer immediately asked her to stop, after all, they were all acquaintances, and the embarrassment of childhood was too embarrassing.

"Wow, this boss is too powerful."

The female choreographer who accompanied Zheng Weijie whispered that this customer also looked to be in her 30s or 40s, and she was a high school student about 20 years ago. I didn't expect that after such a long time, the boss could recognize him at a glance.

"I went out to work hard after graduating from high school, and then went abroad. I just returned to China to start a business a while ago. When I went back to my hometown to pack my things, I thought about coming here for a meal."

After Zheng Weijie and others explained the situation to the customer, the customer named Sun Aimin felt a little sad.

Sitting next to him are his wife and his partner who started the business together. After many years, he has changed from a student to an adult in charge, but in the eyes of the boss, Sun Aimin is still the same young man.

The barbecue was served quickly. This seemingly dark food was the taste of hometown in Sun Aimin's heart.

One night, seeing the business atmosphere of this barbecue restaurant, Zheng Weijie felt a lot of emotion. One is the old man in charge of barbecue. What do you like to eat, you need to order more ingredients.

The second is that he has a deeper understanding of what Xu Rui said before. Chinese people are reserved and do not like to show their emotions, but in every detail, they are full of warmth. This small barbecue restaurant, Carrying the childhood memories of countless people, the unique dark barbecue is a secret treasure for everyone.

The grandma adds not only chili and cumin to the barbecue that is turned in her hand, but also the most important seasoning.

That is human affection.
