Chapter 580 Cats Are Full of Curiosity About Human Cubs! Plans for a Food Documentary! 【Please Subscribe】

"If brother-in-law is not busy in the afternoon, we can go to the company and have a chat."

Lin Xu took a bite of the food and was very interested in the cooperation proposed by Luo Jiayao. Although it was only a documentary channel and the ratings were not very high, it was CCTV after all.

Moreover, it is also a TV media that Happy Media has lost. If it produces a food program, it will definitely become a hot spot in the program.

However, the specific details had to be discussed between his aunt and Zeng Xiaoqi and Luo Jiayao, so he sent an invitation to his cousin-in-law, hoping that he could go to Happy Media Company.

As long as the deal is settled, no matter what type of food program it is, Lin Xu will have no problem.

Upon hearing this, Luo Jiayao said:

"I will send your sister and child home in the afternoon and everything will be fine. Just send me the location of your company and I will drive there then."

Lin Xu sent it on his mobile phone and sent a message to Chen Yan to briefly explain the matter.

Near the Guomao Building.

Chen Yan, who had just finished the barbecue, was about to sing with Zeng Xiaoqi, Dou Wenjing and Chen Yuanyuan. When she saw the news, she immediately canceled the plan and quickly replied to Lin Xu:

"We'll go to the company right away and wait."

Well, since there is business coming to me and it is a food program on CCTV, this opportunity cannot be missed.

Just in time to give Xiao Qiqi another breath, just stopping the broadcast of "The World of Food" is not enough. It is best to let those guys who are good at guiding laymen to guide experts be demoted and punished.

After sending the message to his sister-in-law, Lin Xu continued to eat.

He was holding a bowl of rice, scooped up a large piece of trembling fish with a small spoon and put it into the bowl, and poured some thick and red soup on the plate to pour on the fish.

Then he put on his chopsticks, picked out the fish bones, and mixed the fish meat and soup with the rice.

Take a spoonful and put it into your mouth, and the wonderful feeling immediately explodes in your mouth.

The fish is salty and has an appetizing sweet and sour taste, and is very tender. It even tastes like tofu, and it goes perfectly with the soft and hard rice.

"This fish is really good for dinner, and it's so enjoyable to eat."

"Yes, Xiaoxu's craftsmanship is really incredible."

"When I eat sweet dishes now, I think of the steamed cakes that Xiaoxu is going to make. I hope to make them quickly so that I can eat them at home."

Hearing what cousin Wenqing said, Shen Jiayue couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you afraid that you will become fat from eating during your maternity leave?"

"No, I consume a lot, and I do postpartum recovery exercises every day. Although it is only mild, it also burns fat... Yueyue, you have to learn from this. You eat so well, don't go back to confinement." He immediately gained weight to one hundred and fifty pounds."

Shen Jiayue:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

What a hundred and fifty pounds!

Am I the kind of person who is greedy?

But considering the craftsmanship of Xu Bao, it seems that it is not difficult to eat 150 pounds...

Shen Jiayue said:

"Let's talk about it then. We are not in a hurry to have children."

I am still a baby, how can I have a child so early? And it’s not like we don’t have anything, we do have a little baby Dundun... eh? Where did Dundun go?

When the meal just started, Dundun was still licking the fish soup and drinking it in the open space next to the restaurant.

Now he has completely disappeared. Is there anything more attractive to a kitten than delicious food?

Shen Jiayue finished the rice in the bowl and saw that everyone was still eating, so she got up and left the restaurant, intending to look for Dundun.

Grandma's house has a big front and back yard, so don't let the little one get lost.

However, as soon as she went out, she saw Dundun sneaking around at the door of the bedroom. She strode over and found that Dundun was secretly observing the baby sleeping on the bed.

"What's wrong baby? Do you want a younger sibling?"

When Dundun saw Shen Jiayue coming over, he became a little bolder. He jumped on the bedside table and observed the sleeping human cub up close.

Shen Jiayue also came over, looking at the cute little girl carved in pink and jade, she couldn't help but fantasize about her own child.

Humph, when I have a child, if the boy is as handsome as Xu Bao, if it's a girl, I hope she won't be as naughty as me.

Girls, it's better to be well-behaved and sensible.

"Baby, my sister is sleeping. Let's go out first and don't wake her up."

Shen Jiayue didn't dare to let Dundun touch such a small baby, and she didn't even dare to touch it herself. It was better to stay away. If this little cutie was allergic to cat hair, it would be very dangerous.

Shen Jiayue hugged Dundun and left the bedroom.

In the yard, I looked at the rockery and the frozen fountain.

Dundun thought the frozen ice was quite fun, so she jumped up on it and felt the temperature of the ice cubes with her meat pad, then jumped down and started to warm up in a sunny place.

Cats sense temperature through their flesh pads, so they can easily mislead themselves.

For example, when their flesh pads feel cold, they will think that their whole body is cold, and then they will try desperately to find ways to stay warm.

And when it's hot, as long as the meat pads can't feel the temperature, even if the cat hair on the body has been smoked by the fire, it doesn't know how to move.

Almost every winter, there are cases where cats’ fur becomes yellow due to keeping warm. Sometimes it even becomes a trending topic and becomes a national joke.

From this point of view, cats are still more suitable for floor heating.

The warm ground is very comfortable to step on, and the cat's mood will become very happy.

Dundun basked in the sun for a while, and then playfully jumped onto a jujube tree in the yard, where he sharpened his claws, climbed, and explored... and had a lot of fun.

Especially seeing that Shen Jiayue was always by his side, it meowed happily, jumped to the top of the tree, and used its paws to pat down several long-dried red dates left on the branches.

"My baby is so awesome. He even knows how to beat dates for mommy. Come down quickly. It's too dangerous to be in the tree."

Dundun jumped down from the tree and ran to the rockery to play for a while.

After everyone in the restaurant finished their lunch, everyone made tea and chatted for nearly an hour before leaving.

Although it is the weekend, almost everyone is busy. This is the difficulty of being a doctor. The more skilled you are, the less time you have for yourself.

Lin Xu drove back to the store.

As soon as she entered the door, Dundun jumped into Shu Yun's arms excitedly and meowed.

"I'm so happy, baby. Have you eaten anything delicious today?"

Shen Jiayue said:

"I haven't eaten anything, so I just watched my niece. I feel like she really likes the appearance of human babies. It's a pity that the little girl is only two months old. When she grows up, she can play with Dundun."

Lin Xu walked around the kitchen, picked up two boxes of snacks, and drove to the Brilliant Building.

When they came upstairs, Chen Yan and the others were there, and Zeng Xiaoqi was still a little curious:

"Boss Lin, is the boss lady's cousin really from CCTV? Doesn't he work on CCTV's outsourced programs?"

After the commercial operation of TV stations, many of the TV stations' programs began to be outsourced. Even CCTV was not exempt. Some entertainment programs and variety shows were outsourced.

The TV station is only responsible for broadcasting and distributing accounts.

If you are such a person, you cannot cooperate, because the TV station makes a big profit, the contractor makes a small profit, and Happy Media may not even be able to drink soup.

Lin Xu said:

"He used to work for the comprehensive channel, but now he has switched to the documentary channel to become a small leader. He is preparing a food program and plans to regain the glory brought by "A Bite of China". You will discuss the details later."

Lin Xu does not participate in the operation, but only plays a leading role.

Chen Yan knew Luo Jiayao, and on the day of Lin Xu's wedding, she even stuffed a red envelope into the arms of the baby Shi Wenqing was holding.

But I knew I knew it, but I didn't expect that he was from CCTV.

When young people get together, they don't like to pry around. They want to leave middle-aged aunts alone. In less than five minutes, they can shake off the other party's details.

Zeng Xiaoqi opened the snack box and took a piece of brown sugar shaqima from it. While eating, she planned cooperation matters.

"It is best to have two programs. One is a daily food tutorial. Although the documentary channel's ratings are not high, as long as it is done, it will definitely increase the ratings, and then on several basis, we can shoot food documentaries."

Chen Yan quite agrees with this:

"Yes, but documentaries cannot be the kind of storytelling that is always sensational and uses food as decoration. There are too many scoldings. What we want to do is return to the essence of documentaries - recording the changes and development of food as bystanders. That’ll do.”

The two had a lively chat, but Chen Yuanyuan was more concerned about the profits:

"What about the title of the program? How do you say this? CCTV can't possibly show it to us, right?"

Dou Wenjing said:

"We can negotiate a share. The specific amount depends on the voice of this cousin-in-law in the documentary channel. If he has the ability to make decisions, we will make it the focus of our work this year. If he has a small voice, we will act as a distribution channel."

The company has accumulated so many video manuscripts that it can be broadcast on TV stations by editing the opening and ending credits.

Not long after, Luo Jiayao drove to the downstairs of Huihuang Building.

Lin Xu and Chen Yan went downstairs to greet him, and then started chatting in the office.

This weekend, no one was working in the company, so the chores of doing errands fell to the two general managers.

Chen Yuanyuan made a pot of tea, and Dou Wenjing went to the kitchen shooting area to get a few small plates, washed them and put the snacks brought by Lin Xu on them.

As for Zeng Xiaoqi, she prepared a lot of information and planned to have a good chat with Luo Jiayao.

This is her major and she is also the core person in this discussion of cooperation.

Luo Jiayao came upstairs, and Chen Yan specially took him around the food shooting area to let him see the professionalism of Happy Media in producing food programs.

"Hey, it's such a big kitchen. You guys are really sacrificing your own resources in making a show."

Although this kind of array can be easily done by CCTV, it must be a room full of advertising LOGOs, range hoods, iron pots, stoves, integrated kitchens, etc.

It’s all the same old routines from TV shows in the past.

To be honest, it’s really rare to find someone who builds a kitchen at their own expense.

After looking around, Luo Jiayao sat down and started talking to Zeng Xiaoqi about specific cooperation projects.

Lin Xu did not participate, sitting on the sofa nearby and concentrating on playing games on his mobile phone.

For him, it's okay to be a chef on camera, but it would be a bit over the top to discuss the specific process of making a show.

It is better to leave professional matters to professionals.

What's more, Zeng Xiaoqi has been in the TV station for several years and has a clear understanding of the routines within the system.

While playing, Lin Xu suddenly remembered making rice cakes, and sent a message to Che Zai:

"Find a big basin and soak twenty kilograms of long glutinous rice in more water. Then soak five kilograms of red kidney beans. Tomorrow I will make a dessert snack that Shaanxi people like to eat."

The ingredients of Zeng Gao are very simple. Just add long glutinous rice with red dates and candied dates. Lin Xu adds red kidney beans, mainly to enrich the taste.

There are two types of glutinous rice, round glutinous rice and long glutinous rice. Relatively speaking, long glutinous rice is stickier and tastes more delicious, while round glutinous rice is more suitable for secondary processing, such as rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes.

Making steamed cakes is not difficult. Just soak these ingredients first, then steam them separately, and finally put them together, cover them with lotus leaves and steam them again.

To make this delicacy, you need to use an ancient cooking utensil - a steamer.

The steamer is shaped like a vat with dense holes at the bottom and has been passed down for thousands of years.

From the pottery steamers unearthed in the Stone Age, to the copper steamers of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, to the iron steamers of the Tang and Song dynasties, although the materials are changing, the form and appearance of the steamers have always been passed down.

Until modern society, this ancient cooking utensil is still shining in various parts of Shaanxi.

Rice cakes made with a steamer are more fragrant and taste better.

Lu You, a great poet of the Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem in "Song of Autumn Flowers": "A long pottery pounding beads illuminates the ground, a big pot cooks jade and the fragrance of the village lingers."

The "big steamer cooking jade" in the poem refers to the use of a steamer to steam rice.

"What are you looking at, bro?"

Chen Yuanyuan listened for a while and felt that Zeng Xiaoqi was becoming more and more professional, so she stopped listening. Instead, she sat down on the sofa and chatted with Lin Xu in a low voice.

"I'm going to make some steamer cakes, and I'm thinking about buying a steamer."

This thing can really be bought now, but it is made of iron and is relatively thin. The effect is probably similar to that of a steamer, but ordinary steamers cannot steam dozens of kilograms of glutinous rice.

Steamer cake?

Before Chen Yuanyuan spoke, Dou Wenjing next to her became interested:

"Boss, do you want to make jīng cakes? Make more. This is my favorite delicacy. This time, the jīng cakes my parents brought to the capital were eaten by Mr. Chen and Baby Shu..."

At that time, Dou Wenjing's parents just came over and caught up with Lin Ji's New Year's Eve dinner. They took out the delicacies they brought, and most of them were eaten by Chen Yan and Shu Yun, who like sweets.

Chen Yuanyuan asked curiously:

"Jīng cake? Isn't that word pronounced zēng? Did I learn it wrong when I was a child?"

Dou Wenjing said:

"It's our accent. The accent in Shaanxi is voiced, so zēng cake becomes jīng cake. In some places, it's pronounced jīng cake... Anyway, no matter how you pronounce it, I'm so greedy right now. When can I get it, boss?" "

Lin Xu didn't expect that there would be so many people waiting to eat the steamed cake before it was ready.

He said:

"I can eat it the day after tomorrow, and you can have it as breakfast then."

In Shaanxi, steamed cake is really a kind of breakfast. A piece of steamed cake will keep you from going hungry for most of the day. Many people like to have one in the morning.

Dou Wenjing's face was full of expectation:

"Okay, then I'll have to eat more to get over my craving for rice cakes."

While the three of them were chatting about steamer cakes, Chen Yan and Zeng Xiaoqi were also discussing cooperation with Luo Jiayao.

We are all relatives, and we all want to make a good food show, so the cooperation went smoothly. Even for items such as the title share, Luo Jiayao also said that he would try his best to help everyone win.

The daily food tutorial program is easy to arrange. CCTV also knows "Eating World". Now that a similar TV program can be launched, I will definitely welcome it with both hands.

But long documentaries are a little different.

Luo Jiayao wants to make a program that is similar to the tip of the tongue, interspersed with the cultural features and products of various places, so that it can not only get approval from the station, but also get local support.

But both Zeng Xiaoqi and Chen Yan felt that the "Tongue 3" series in previous years had ruined the series, so it was best to find a new approach.

And it’s best if it’s a program that other stations and other companies can’t produce.

This will not only show CCTV's status in the media field, but also clear away the haze brought by the tip of the tongue.

Seeing that the two sides were arguing, Zeng Xiaoqi asked Lin Xu:

"Boss Lin, do you have any good suggestions for food documentaries?"

After all, Lin Xu has also dubbed a TV show, is a Food UP host with many fans, and is also considered a member of the media circle, so now she wants to hear if she has any advice.

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"I think it's best to use the advantages of Happy Media. We have signed so many great chefs. We can start with them and help our own people show up on TV."

Chen Yan asked doubtfully:

"With so many chefs appearing on the same show, the lineup is enough, but is there such an event that brings all the famous chefs together?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zeng Xiaoqi, who was sitting next to her, also reacted, and they both said at the same time:

"state banquet!"

What event can bring together all the famous chefs in Beijing?

That’s the state banquet!

State banquets held in the Great Hall sometimes need to entertain more than 5,000 people.

Such a number of guests places high demands on the chefs, so people are usually drawn from various restaurants to form a strong team of chefs.

In addition to such large banquets, there are also high-level banquets held to welcome foreign dignitaries, which are also a type of state banquet.

Zeng Xiaoqi's thinking was very active at the moment, and she said quickly:

"A documentary was shot with the theme of the state banquet, combined with the materials retained by the TV station and the information from the Archives Bureau, starting from the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, to the current state banquet, all of which were filmed. During the filming, the chefs were interspersed Re-create the images of those dishes back then, so that you have history, culture and food, the best of all three!"

"state banquet?"

Luo Jiayao's eyes lit up. This idea was good. It could not only break out of the stereotypes of the tongue and create a new food documentary, but also satisfy the audience's curiosity.

"I think this idea is great, we can try it."

Luo Jiayao planned to start working on it right now, writing a program outline with Zeng Xiaoqi, and then bring it back to the station for the channel director to review.

As long as you pass the review, you can start shooting.

Chen Yan said:

"It has to be my brother-in-law. A few words can clear the air for us. When the program is approved, I have to give my brother-in-law a big red envelope on behalf of the company."

Lin Xu smiled and waved his hand:

"That's unnecessary... By the way, I'll take the time to ask Mr. Qiu if they want to participate. If these masters take part, the program will be even better."

As soon as he said this, the system prompt sounded in his mind...
