Fried silkworm pupa, roasted pig eyes, sheep guns, sheep cannons, and all kinds of dark ingredients that most viewers have never heard of have become the protagonists of the second episode of "A String of Life".

The audience who originally thought it was a food documentary, had a new understanding of it.

Of course, there are always brave people who are willing to try it. Soon, a "tasting report" of the food shown in the second episode appeared online.

Live pictures and texts are already considered simple. Many food broadcasts on Hatsune Video Network visited the people and began to try them boldly.

The videos that were waiting for the springs of mushrooms after a rain made the food area popular again.

This kind of shooting and editing with a curiosity nature has obviously been infected by the Internet style. Traditional documentaries will not produce such effects. The dark ingredients not only did not persuade them to withdraw, but instead made everyone more interested in this documentary.

When the third episode was aired, the number of viewers online during the documentary was over one million. The vegetarian dishes in the third episode were just like the adjustments during barbecue, allowing the audience who had experienced the baptism of dark ingredients in the second episode to breathe. This is exactly the pun meaning of the subtitle "Come Vegetarian Dishes".

Jingping, the documentary director of the state television station, Zhou Xiao, thinks his daughter looks a bit strange recently.

He is from the north, but he came to Jingping at university. After graduation, he joined the state television station to work. He worked for decades. His daughter grew up in Jingping and never returned to her hometown a few times.

Two days ago, my daughter, who had just finished the college entrance examination and was enjoying the summer vacation, suddenly asked mysteriously after dinner.

"Dad, have you ever eaten roasted silkworm pupae?"

My daughter opened her eyes wide and was quite curious.

"Grilled silkworm pupa? What are you asking about this?"

Zhou Xiao asked back, he remembered that he had grabbed cicadas in the countryside when he was a child, which was crispy and delicious, but he never ate them again after studying. As for silkworm pupa, he remembered that there was such a tradition in his hometown, but he had never tasted them.

“I heard this is our Northeast specialty barbecue.”

The daughter explained that her attitude was very sincere.

"I don't know whether it is characteristic or not, but there are indeed similar foods in our hometown, which are to skewers of silkworms that have not broken through the cocoon. There are quite a lot of things that the elderly like to eat. Your father is timid and dare not eat them."

Zhou Xiao is usually busy with work and rarely has time to spend with his daughter. These days are just completed the documentary he was responsible for filming, so there are only a few days when he doesn't need to go back and run around. Therefore, he patiently explained the topics his daughter mentioned.

"What about roasting moths and roasting green silkworms?"

My daughter pursued the victory and continued to ask.

"Baked moth? Can you eat this? The green silkworm is a tussal silkworm. It is the leaves of oak trees. It is a big green one. It was raised by someone in my hometown before, so can it still be eaten?"

Zhou Xiao felt incredible, and then he was a little confused. Where did his daughter, who usually read school obediently, see such strange things?

“I heard it’s very delicious when roasted.”

The daughter said with certainty.

"Where did you hear it, I don't know these things."

Zhou Xiao then traced the roots and turned his eyes from TV to his daughter.

"I've watched what I said in the documentary."

"Documentary?"

Zhou Xiao was so energetic that he was filming documentaries. He had never watched any documentaries in his life. He didn't remember any documentaries that said roasted moths or something?

"Yes, Dad, you usually do documentaries, so do you have to do those things yourself, such as trying out food?"

The daughter asked.

"We must be very rigorous. After all, documentaries are not TV series, they must be realistic, so your dad is running around the country."

Zhou Xiao explained and continued to ask.

"Which documentary you just mentioned about is a roasted moth?"

""A String of Life", it's so popular on the Internet now."

The daughter replied naturally.

"A String of Life"? Which TV station is from? Why didn't I know there is this documentary?"

Zhou Xiao felt that he had never heard of this movie, and immediately became interested.

You know, Zhou Xiao had been worried about letting his daughter watch less TV series and animations, more documentaries and other programs that increase knowledge, but his daughter always felt that those documentaries were too serious, too boring, and lacked interest.

There is actually a documentary that allows his daughter to ask him the other way around. Although it seems a bit strange to roast moths and silkworm pupaes, he has done something that Zhou Xiao cannot do, so he is naturally very concerned about it.

"Dad, this documentary is not broadcast on TV, it is broadcast online. Just the Hatsune Video Network I usually watch, you don't pay much attention to online things, so you definitely don't know."

The daughter said truthfully.

“Hatsuna Video Network?”

Zhou Xiao only knew that this was a website that specializes in animation. His department and the Internet did not have much contact, but he heard other colleagues occasionally mention it.

"show me?"

Hearing Zhou Xiao's words, his daughter's eyes suddenly lit up, she came out of the room with a tablet and said.

"Dad, this documentary has been aired for three episodes now. Do you want to start from scratch?"

"Then start from the beginning."

Zhou Xiao asked his daughter to press the play button, and the father and daughter started watching.

Not long after watching it, a wave of turmoil broke out in Zhou Xiao's heart.

From the perspective of professionals, this documentary has many flaws in shooting techniques and mirroring, but the advantage lies in its unique creativity.

There were proposals similar to food documentaries on the stage before, but there was a dispute over what to shoot. Some people wanted to shoot four major cuisines, while others wanted to start with the city, which eventually led to the entire topic being very empty and no one could convince anyone. In addition, everyone's understanding of the popular science education of shooting food was unclear, and it was finally left alone.

Now Zhou Xiao usually shoots some historical, natural documentaries, and also about architecture and intangible cultural heritage. These documentaries are high-end and elegant, but obviously not very friendly to the people.

However, this movie "A String of Life" seems to be about barbecue, but in fact it is filming life. Through barbecue, the most popular diet, it reflects the daily lives of the people behind it, conveying some cultural beliefs and is truly in the scenery.

Watching the documentary, Zhou Xiao suddenly got inspiration.

Since human feelings and culture can be reflected through barbecue, are there similar stories behind other foods that can show the lives and pursuits of the Chinese people through food?

Historical documentaries show the longevity of Chinese civilization by shooting cultural relics and telling the rise and fall of history. Natural documentaries convey the idea of ​​harmonious coexistence between man and nature by shooting animals and showing the reproduction and reproduction of species.

So can the documentary of food convey the humanistic story behind this food and show the historical style of China?

Zhou Xiao became more and more excited as he thought about it, and couldn't help but stand up.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

My daughter was still immersed in the deliciousness of barbecue. Although she had seen it once, she was still drooling in her greed. When she saw her father suddenly stood up, she was a little confused.

"Where is the website that made this documentary?"

Zhou Xiao asked, he felt that he was going to go on a business trip.
Chapter completed!
