Chapter 159 Interview! Come and try the fried chicken I made!(1/3)
"Hello, viewers, I am Xiaoqi, the host of the Beijing Travel Channel. Today, there is a small restaurant on the North Fourth Ring Road that has only been open for a month because it is closing for renovations, which has attracted countless customers to come and check in as a souvenir.
What is the magic of this store? Let’s find out!”
I saw that my colleagues were already queuing up, and they were still in front of me.
Zeng Xiaoqi made a quick decision and decided to give up the interview with the restaurant owner and first take pictures of the people queuing outside to make a trailer outside the store.
It’s no problem if you can’t beat your peers for interviews.
It’s okay to release it long before they do.
Fortunately, I got some general information about Linji Food on the way here, otherwise I would not have been able to impress my colleagues from CCTV Travel.
After the opening remarks, the cameraman began to take pictures of the long queue at the entrance of the store.
Zeng Xiaoqi began to look for interview subjects.
While reading information in the car, she saw that customers of Lin Kee Food claimed to be Lin Kee boys or Lin Kee girls online, so she prepared to impersonate them and get close to the customers.
Wait for the cameraman to finish shooting.
She also found her first interviewee, a young girl in her twenties.
"Hello, I am Zeng Xiaoqi, a girl from Linji. Are you also a girl from Linji?"
"Of course I'm a Lin Kee girl. I've posted dozens of posts today... Ah, Sister Xiaoqi? I didn't expect you to be a customer of Lin Kee too. I'm your fan. I'm addicted to watching you sharing three meals every day.
All."
Zeng Xiaoqi: "..."
So, am I being backstabbed by my fans?
After the pleasantries, the interview session officially entered.
Zeng Xiaoqi originally wanted to find out why everyone was waiting in line for a table, but she didn't know that the other person was praising Linji's food from the beginning to the end for how delicious it was, which made her greedy after just having lunch.
Then she randomly interviewed a few people in line.
Then I was given a bunch of delicacies in the store.
"The tiger skin chicken feet are braised to perfection. You must try it when you go in later."
"Lotus root is also delicious, crispy and super delicious."
"The steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce have the best taste. Oh my god, I can't believe they are pork ribs."
"You must try the sweet and sour pork belly made by Boss Lin. It feels so wonderful that I can't describe it in words."
"The sour plum soup in the store is simmered over low heat and cannot be bought outside. You will know how delicious it is after you try it."
"If you like spicy food, don't miss the boiled pork slices in the store, it's a must-have!"
Zeng Xiaoqi swallowed while interviewing.
I didn’t expect that this humble shop would have so much food.
She must try it in the name of interview later when she goes in... She made a good plan, but when she was finally able to go in, she found that all the food in the store had been sold out.
"Sorry everyone, all the food in the store is sold out. Please come back in the afternoon. We will prepare more in the afternoon and try our best to meet everyone's needs."
Lin Xu looked at everyone with an apologetic look.
I never thought that a store closing notice would attract so many customers.
Even reporters from the TV station came.
"Che boy, give these reporter friends some sour food... It seems that the sour plum soup is gone, so get some drinks. I'll notify Boss Hu to bring some more meat."
He greeted everyone, then took his mobile phone and called Ou Hua, Boss Hu and Uncle Shen one by one, asking them to send some of the shortage ingredients and drinks.
There are so many customers at noon, so there should be more people in the afternoon.
Then I called my senior brother Xie Baomin and asked him to send a few chefs here to provide support.
Since there are more customers.
The amount of food also needs to be increased.
Try your best to satisfy the customers' wish to come to the store to eat before closing.
After dealing with these matters, he went to the kitchen and cooked a large pot of sour plum soup in a sandwich pot before taking some time for interviews.
The interview is very simple.
Regardless of Zeng Xiaoqi from the Beijing Tourism Channel or CCTV Tourism, they are all trying to promote Beijing’s cuisine and increase the influence of the capital, so their focus is on the stores, not Lin Xu himself.
So I asked him some simple questions.
For example, the motivation for opening a store, the reason for closing the store, the main dishes in the store, etc.
After learning that Lin Xu was renovating it into a large restaurant, everyone curiously looked at the renderings of the store and had new expectations for Lin Ji Food.
After the interview.
Lin Xu apologized and went to work in the kitchen.
There is no way, there are too many ingredients to prepare, and the preparation time in the afternoon is too short, so we have to race against time to prepare.
The people from the TV station took another round of empty shots before saying goodbye and leaving.
I didn’t take any pictures of the food in the store.
It makes these people feel a little dispirited.
After all, I have been looking forward to it for most of the day while waiting in line.
Back to the interview car.
Zeng Xiaoqi thought for a while and said to her team members:
"You guys go back first, edit what you just recorded and play it. Give me a small camera and a tripod, and I will go to the store to interview."
Others were stunned when they heard this:
"You still want to interview?"
"Yes, I'm still interviewing. I've been waiting for a long time and haven't photographed a single dish. I'm not willing to give in. Give me the camera. You guys go back. I'll go back after I finish filming."
The cameraman replaced the camera with a new memory card and battery, and took out the small tripod from the trunk.
Zeng Xiaoqi carried these equipment and returned to Linji Food.
As a famous hard-working mistress of the TV station, she really couldn't bear this kind of blow.
The topic that has occupied the gourmet list for more than a year was inexplicably surpassed by others. I came to interview and didn’t see a single dish. I listened to the customers’ complaints from beginning to end.
She felt that such an interview was a failure.
TV programs are not radio programs, so what’s the use of just listening to what customers say?
You have to take pictures of the delicious food and make the audience in front of the TV drool.
So she chose to stay and planned to take pictures of the food preparation work in the kitchen and the dishes in the store. If she had time, she even wanted to take pictures of the customers swarming in at night.
"Hello, we haven't arrived yet...why are you back again?"
Song Tiantian is very curious.
I don’t understand that this beautiful host who just came over for an interview is back again.
Are you planning to continue interviewing our boss?
"What I filmed before was the content of the previous episode, and now I'm here to film the next episode."
After Zeng Xiaoqi finished speaking, she walked towards the kitchen.
"Boss Lin, I want to film the process of preparing food in your kitchen, is that okay? I won't affect your cooking, just treat me like a ball of air."
She knows that many restaurants prohibit filming in the kitchen.
Because those kitchens are all messy and unsightly when photographed, which will actually affect the appetite of customers, so it is better to keep it a little mysterious.
Danlinji is a semi-open kitchen.
Theoretically, filming is allowed.
Because when they first came in, all the customers were holding up their mobile phones to take pictures.
"You can shoot, but you have to pay attention to safety, because there is a fire on the stove, and things will be blown up here later, so the risk is relatively high."
"No problem, Boss Lin, I will pay attention."
Zeng Xiaoqi originally planned to use a tripod, but she was afraid that it would affect everyone's work.
So she put the camera on her shoulder and filmed.
When she graduated from college and went to intern at a TV station, she carried a camera in the news department for more than half a year. It wasn't until a reporter who appeared on camera felt unwell that she seized the opportunity and successfully got rid of the camera on her shoulder and became the one holding the microphone.
Reporter.
Several years have passed.
Put the camera on your shoulder again.
