Chapter 214 Entering Zi to grill Mount Tai puree! Care about the price of staple food for people’s l
early morning.
The show starts.
Maybe it was because yesterday's program was very effective. Just a few minutes after it started, the number of people online at the same time soared rapidly, reaching 7 or 8 million people...
The barrage is going fast, and I’m really looking forward to today’s content.
When the camera showed Gu Huaian, the old man was holding a pack of tissue paper and blowing his nose...
"good morning everyone……"
When greeting the camera, everyone could clearly hear that Gu Huaian's voice was a bit hoarse. Judging from his posture, he probably couldn't sing.
The actor Su also had a cold, but it was milder than Gu Huaian's. Gu Huaian had a cold yesterday and didn't take it seriously. It just happened to catch up with the temperature drop that night and made it worse.
Fortunately, he didn't have a fever, otherwise he might not be able to record the show today.
Of course, even if this was the case, Xilin couldn't help but ask with concern:
"Can we still record? If not, go back and rest first."
Good health is definitely more important than work and money.
Gu Huaian waved his hands carelessly and said:
"A little cold, it's okay."
He didn't want others to care about him so much. He thought it was pretentious. Besides, the show they were recording wasn't going to a construction site to move bricks, let alone any physical work. They were just playing around. Would the cold delay anything?
"Then if you can't do it, tell us."
Xilin nodded and stopped squirming.
The few of them chatted for a few words and then went out to a nearby morning market.
"Pattering..."
Today's temperature is indeed a bit low. Walking on the sidewalk in Quancheng, it is drizzling. In late autumn, the leaves on the trees gradually turn yellow. After a rain, many leaves will be smashed by raindrops.
People coming and going were carrying umbrellas and the road was not clean. Occasionally there would be some puddles. Gu Huaian and the others would always get some dirt on their shoes as they walked around.
but……
Holding an umbrella and walking on such a small road actually has a different feeling.
"Sister Xilin, do you prefer rainy days or sunny days?"
Gu Huaian asked Xilin casually.
I just asked casually, but who knew that my sister smiled and actually said:
“If you hadn’t written ‘Sunny Day’ maybe I would have liked Rainy Day.”
As soon as these words came out...
"oh……"
At that time, some viewers became interested and thought that Sister Xilin was causing trouble!
Gu Huaian smiled helplessly and asked again:
"Then what if I write another song called "Rainy Day" later?"
My sister was quite calm when she heard this. She put her hands in her jacket pockets and chuckled:
"Then I like them all."
Today, my sister is wearing a pure white long windbreaker, holding an umbrella in one hand and holding it in her pocket, not to mention too much.
And as soon as she said these words...
"Hey!"
Many viewers can't stand it anymore and want to know what the hell are you two doing!
Gu Huaian, you better remember that you have a girlfriend!
And Sister Xilin, please stop being so flirtatious!
The one who can't stand it the most is the actor Su. He wants to say that there is someone here. Can you two pay a little attention to other people's feelings? !
Silently holding his forehead, maybe he just happened to see a stall selling pancakes and fruits nearby. The actor Su once again used his "change the topic" method and asked Gu Huaian:
"So we Shandong people usually eat pancakes rolled with green onions?"
Hearing this, Gu Huaian was stunned for a moment. When mentioning Shandong, in fact, many people's first reaction was probably pancake rolls with green onions...
I don’t know who brought this tradition out, but now people all over the country seem to think that Shandong people often eat it and also like to eat pancakes rolled with green onions.
"It depends on the region. Some people may indeed eat it regularly, but our family almost never eats it that way..."
Gu Huaian shook his head and smiled:
"To be honest, the pancake rolls are okay if eaten alone, but if they are rolled with scallions, they are really not delicious. If you can cook vegetables and steam buns at home, who will eat that..."
As soon as this was said, many locals in the comment area agreed:
"I still don't understand why people think that we Shandong people eat pancakes rolled with green onions all day long."
"Are you unable to eat? Is it because the meat doesn't taste good or the buns aren't filling enough? Why do you want to eat that stuff..."
"This is an established impression, a local specialty. When I came back from school for the holidays, my classmates would ask me to bring them some pancakes and green onions. I was speechless..."
…
[Ding, the host has successfully grounded himself and gained exposure, and the points are +91X20! 】
The system gave points for one shot. Seeing that Su Yuntang and Xilin might be a little confused, Gu Huaian couldn't help but smile after thinking about it:
"You may not know that pancakes are actually more expensive than steamed buns and rice, and good-quality noodles are even more expensive. Our family was very wealthy like me when I was a child, and steamed buns and rice would be good. Who can afford pancakes... …”
As soon as these words came out...
"a ha ha ha……"
It made many viewers laugh at once.
Indeed, pancakes are really expensive now. In the past, white flour was a good thing, but few people could afford white flour, so they used coarse grains grown by everyone to make pancakes. It didn’t cost much.
But later on, everyone ate white flour. There were fewer and fewer people farming, and coarse grains became a rarity. Naturally, prices rose accordingly, and the pancakes at the coarse grain stalls became more and more expensive.
What do those self-disciplined fitness and weight loss experts eat nowadays...whole wheat bread, buckwheat noodles, whole grain steamed buns, these things are not cheap, and they are also whole grains.
Strictly speaking, pancakes are similar to those, but the ingredients and production process are healthier than those.
Many people may look down on pancakes. When they think of pancakes, they think of Shandong. When they think of Shandong, they think of soil. When they think of soil, they think that those things are very cheap at first glance.
But in fact, that stuff is more expensive, healthier and more delicious than your popular whole wheat and whole grains.
"That's it..."
After listening to Gu Huaian's explanation, Xilin and Su Yuntang looked enlightened, and they were really in awe of the local pancakes.
There are always some inconspicuous things in this world that you think are cheap, but in fact you may not be able to afford many of them.
For example, the guardrail in the middle of the road costs at least 500 yuan per meter. If you hit it too much, you will lose your money.
At this time, someone in the comment area couldn’t help but say:
"Actually, I think Xilin and Su Yuntang can't understand this..."
"On the one hand, they usually don't eat staple food, and on the other hand, they don't lack the money."
"Steamed buns and pancakes are almost the cheapest staple food. Ordinary people don't notice this kind of money, let alone celebrities like them who make a lot of money."
…
In fact, Gu Huaian said that the price difference between steamed buns and pancakes is yes, there may be a difference, but it is really impossible to say who can't afford it now.
For people with high income levels, they don't care about this little money.
You are like the pancakes he mentioned. Nowadays, pancakes with millet noodles may cost 10 yuan a pound, and those with corn flour are more than 7 yuan. But even so, it is not a problem for them to earn dozens of W a day. If you ask them, do they care about that amount? A dozen or so pancakes per pound?
They really don't care.
So what if I buy ten or one hundred pounds of it in one day?
But...
This is the real people's livelihood, and this is what ordinary people really care about.
Not to mention rural towns, people in cities will care about the price when they go to the supermarket to buy food, and they will also care about the price when buying steamed buns and noodles. This is the life of normal people.
When most people talk about Shandong’s local specialty “pancakes”, they only talk about pancakes rolled with green onions, pancakes, etc…
Who cares that pancakes are more expensive than steamed buns?
At this point, the audience actually felt that Gu Huaian was quite close to them.
Why are so many people calling Gu Huaian "my brother" one after another?
Because he is really like their daily friend, living an ordinary, ordinary life.
[Ding, the host has successfully grounded himself and gained exposure, and the points are +91X20! 】
At the right time, the system gave Gu Huaian another point.
A few people chatted all the way to the nearby morning market.
One thing to say is that the markets in the north, whether they are morning markets or anything else, are almost all simple and rough, with everything to eat, drink and do, and they are relatively colorful.
When we were in Yunnan, everyone went out to catch the morning market. Gu Huaian felt that their local market was a bit... crude.
This is not without reason. If you are used to the simple and crude markets in the north, it is really difficult to adapt to the style of the south.
If you don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about buying vegetables. When people in the south buy potatoes, they may only buy one or two, and they have to ask someone to peel them. If you want to do this in the north, people may have to say, "I think you look like a potato." Do you want to peel the eggs for you?
Another thing is to buy cabbage. In the winter, we stock up on cabbage at home. People in the north stock up on dozens or hundreds of kilograms of cabbage. If you come up here and give me a piece of cabbage, the boss will not even bother with you...
Of course, this is not the Black South. It’s understandable that people in the South generally eat less and buy less. As for peeling and other things, I do ask the boss to provide service, but prices are also high there. Things are expensive, so don’t you have to provide good service? ?
I walked around the morning market and had breakfast. I was just about to go to the scenic spots when the rain started to fall.
"Crash..."
When the seasons change, rain is a common occurrence. Gu Huaian and the others may not have arrived at the right time, because it just happened to rain heavily today.
Gu Huaian, Xilin, and Su Yuntang were also forced to follow the cameraman and take shelter from the rain under a nearby roof.
"I don't know if I can go to Zi to bake in the evening."
Gu Huaian looked at that day, a little worried.
Under the same sky, it was not only Gu Huaian but also Pei Jingshu who was worried.
"Pattering..."
It didn't rain heavily here in Qingtang, but it actually delayed Pei Jingshu's shooting. Pei Jingshu's eyebrows had been frowning tightly since the morning. If the shooting was delayed because of the rain, it might She wouldn't have time to go see Gu Huaian at night...
To be honest, she hates rainy days and is quite afraid of thunder. She never went out on rainy days before.
…
In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
What pleased Gu Huaian and the others was that the rain did not fall heavily all the time, but it did not delay their recording.
After lunch, we rested in the hotel for a while, and then we went to take the high-speed train together, intending to "go to Zi for a barbecue."
I don’t know if it was arranged by the show crew or a coincidence, but they were still on the barbecue train.
There were some small gifts from local officials on the car, which were quite exquisite. The actor Su also took advantage of the opportunity to help promote them...
As for which barbecue restaurant to eat in Zibo, Gu Huaian doesn't know. He is mainly responsible for taking Su Yuntang and Xilin around in Quancheng. He doesn't know the rules when going to Zibo.
Gu Huaian has been visiting "Zibo BBQ" for several months since the summer. Although this time it's a bit boring, he still wanted to give it a try.
When there are a lot of people, it’s boring to be crowded.
It was already after six o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Zibo. In October's mountain winter, it would get dark after six o'clock. When Gu Huaian and the others arrived at the barbecue restaurant, the stars were twinkling in the sky.
In the evening of October, the weather is actually a bit cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. At night, you can already see deer people wearing down jackets and riding electric bicycles.
Therefore, Gu Huaian and the others must not have barbecue outdoors, they have to go indoors.
It is worth mentioning that when we arrived in Zibo, it was probably because of the good weather that the rain stopped and even the clouds dispersed...
There are fewer people eating barbecue this season, but Zibo Barbecue has been popular since summer, so there are quite a few people in the store.
The arrival of Gu Huaian and the others, although they attracted some attention because of the camera teacher, did not attract onlookers.
I randomly picked a seat with few people and sat down, and then started ordering. Not long after ordering, the clerk here came with a...
The small barbecue stove you usually see in the videos shows a few charcoal sticks that are about the same size.
"Actually, what makes their barbecue here different from other places is that the stove can keep the skewers hot all the time, and you can heat them up when they get cold..."
Gu Huaian couldn't help but smile and said:
"If you eat barbecue like we do, it would be fine if a waiter brings a plate of freshly grilled skewers to you every once in a while. If you just order as much as you want and grill it for you, then you can eat it. It got cold after a while, and I had to warm him up several times just to get hot.”
Best Actor Su nodded in approval and said that when he was having a barbecue in XJ, Inner Mongolia, they had a naan pit and something like that. The meat skewers were so good, it was very interesting...
Gu Huaian said that the one you are talking about is the big one. Have you seen the small one? I went to Sichuan a few days ago to make an announcement and ate their skewers. Wow, the corn can actually be pierced. I was dumbfounded.
When I first ordered it, I was still wondering, is a bunch of corn so cheap? A dollar? Is this for charity?
Once the dish was served, he realized what a "string" was.
Su Yuntang laughed and said that people in the south generally have small appetites, just like buying vegetables in the morning. People usually buy less when buying vegetables, and their skewers are also cheap.
Speaking of this, Gu Huaian couldn't help but complain. He felt that potato slices, eggplant slices, and corn kernel skewers were all IQ taxes. Is this money so easy to earn?
Before the food was served, the two chatted happily.
Soon the barbecue they ordered came. The specialty here is that the skewers are not completely grilled, but half-finished. Then they are put on the small barbecue stove and grilled by yourself.
There are two shelves on the small barbecue grill on the table. You can put some roasted food on the top and eat it directly, and you can put some on the bottom that need to be roasted and roast it slowly, which is just right.
At this time, Gu Huaian would mention to Su Yuntang that the current season is not suitable. If it were summer, it would be really suitable to get some draft beer to go with the barbecue.
Su Yuntang smiled and seemed to have no intention of mentioning the word "wine", as if it was not polite to mention "wine" in front of the camera.
And there is one thing he is embarrassed to say, that is, he rarely drinks beer, but more often red wine, white wine, rice wine, etc.
Mainly rice wine, which nourishes the stomach and strengthens the kidneys.
"You can have a drink."
But it was Xilin. She pointed to the refrigerator and said:
"I think there seems to be some different wine over there, how about we go over and get a few bottles?"
My sister is very cheerful and jokes, but she is from a minority group and has never been drunk by anyone.
"emmm..."
Gu Huaian hesitated and asked:
"We're recording a show here. Is it appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate?"
Xilin glanced at Gu Huaian and said with a smile:
"You can't drink enough, are you afraid that you'll go crazy if you drink too much?"
"It must be more than..."
Gu Huaian waved his hand. On the night of Shang Zhuoyan's concert celebration banquet, Xu Shiyun, Shen Yuqi and Han Xiangyi took turns bombarding him with red wine, beer and liquor. He was stunned to survive through thirty years and remained standing.
He is a good drinker. When he drinks beer, he doesn't brag to anyone. When someone asks Gu Huai'an, he will raise his index finger...
Not a mention, not a box, not a car.
Instead: keep drinking.
In the eyes of people who drink frequently, is beer also called wine?
Drinking it till the end is no different than drinking water!
"Can we have a drink?" Xilin asked Su Yuntang.
"Um...ok."
Maybe it was because he felt the atmosphere was up, but Su Yuntang didn't hold back. It's not like you can't drink during the recording of the show. Then there are the shows recorded at the wine table. There are some things you can't say without drinking some wine.
It is precisely because of drinking some wine that we can have more fun talking.
So Gu Huaian and Xilin went to the front desk to buy some local Taishan puree 7-day beer.
This is a bit different from the ordinary beer blended with industrial alcohol. It may not be as good as the fresh beer puree from the first and second factories, but it is still better than ordinary beer.
"Gurgling..."
Pour in the wine, the skewers are grilled, and after a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine, you immediately feel the energy coming up.
The store served a kind of local pancake. To be honest, people usually don’t eat pasta first when drinking wine, but who said this is a local specialty? Gu Huaian didn’t hesitate. He folded the pancake in half twice, dipped it in the sauce, and put onions on it. Pull up the skewers...
Stuffing it in your mouth is a show off!
The grilled, charred and tender meat skewers are mixed with the flavors of green onions and sauce in the shortbread. Not to mention how exciting it is after one bite.
"Eat slowly..."
Xilin couldn't help but pat Gu Huaian, why does this kid always eat so voraciously?
Gu Huaian explained that it was not about gobbling it up, but that the biscuits were easy to fall apart and if you couldn’t finish it in one bite, it would easily get on your hands. It was better to just stuff it into your mouth.
This is also the reason why he doesn't like to eat pancakes. It's not good to eat pancakes and rolls, and it's easy to make vegetable soup.
It caused a burst of laughter from the audience, indicating that the truth was revealed, and at the same time, the system also gave Gu Huaian a point.
At the same time...
A train rushed to Zibo.
Pei Jingshu looked at the night outside the window, looking forward to it but also impatient.
I hope it's a surprise, not a shock.
