Chapter 146 145. Internet Celebrities and Face

At the end of July, the new Fanrenju, which was delayed for a few days for some reason, opened grandly.

The whole city was in an uproar and bustling with activity.

The new Fanrenju has changed from the old-fashioned and high-end appearance of the past and is no longer that look that makes people feel that it is not affordable at first glance.

Become friendly and enthusiastic.

It’s just like the old days, when you had to write poems, take exams, and spend a lot of money to see the courtesan who was sitting on the clouds.

He lowered himself and came to the lobby to perform crosstalk.

Countless old customers from that time felt very gratified.

At the beginning, Fanrenju was just a small restaurant secretly opened in an alley, and anyone could go.

Later on, it became more and more high-end and became unaffordable.

The old customers who were driven away back then still miss it.

When they heard that Fanrenju was no longer going the high-end route and had returned to its original appearance, the old customers touched their wallets and happily went there.

Wow, this is lively.

There is a row of pillars at the entrance of Xinfanrenju, which are getting narrower and narrower. You can get a discount if you squeeze through it, and you can get a free meal if you squeeze through the narrowest one. A bunch of young girls are squeezing around there, wearing very little.

There is also a nail board on the side, which is densely packed. When you push a person on it, nails will pop out from the back, revealing the shape of a person.

There is also a stand next to it, a beautiful lady dressed in ancient costume, but without a face, so someone stuffed their face on it for fun taking pictures.

There were also free tickets for doing push-ups, discounts for standing long jump, and even kissing the performer.

Ouch, it’s too ugly to watch.

None of the old customers could play at all. They stood at the door for more than half an hour, then left cursing.

In fact, Xinfanrenju is not only lively at the entrance, but also inside. There is a scene every three steps and a joke every five steps. It has all kinds of trendy things and you can take photos and post them everywhere.

And not only the hardware has been updated, the software is also not bad.

In just the first few days of opening, we invited more than a dozen internet celebrities to visit the store and do live broadcasts.

Shudong is one of them.

He is a video blogger with millions of followers on Bilibili. He started out by visiting stores and is now a store exploration/food/culture/travel/life blogger.

The video track is under a lot of pressure now. We can’t just go down one path. If we reach a bottleneck in one direction, we have to expand into other tracks.

As the number of expansions continued, they became a slash youth.

Shudong was at Fanrenju last night and shot a lot of material, enough to make a video.

But what can I say? This kind of Internet celebrity store may still be new in small cities, but it has become common in first- and second-tier cities.

There is nothing original about this kind of video. It just consumes his own reputation to enhance the reputation of Xinfanrenju.

Just get paid to do the job.

The boss of Xinfan Renju was very generous, not only in advertising fees, but also in other aspects. He paid for the round-trip travel expenses of his entire team and directly booked a hotel for three days.

Shudong was thinking that he was a travel and humanities blogger, and Tianhan had never been here.

Or you can just go for a walk and take some photos to replenish your money.

A quiet little town, narrow streets, buildings spanning many ages, slowly walking pedestrians, speaking words that are hard to understand.

A big river runs through the city. It used to go around the city, but now that the city has expanded, it runs through the city.

There are green trees everywhere in the city. They are very big and seem to be very old. Most of them are osmanthus trees.

Shudong has read the information and found out that osmanthus is the city tree of Tianhan.

The timing is not very good now. If it were two months later, the osmanthus flowers would have bloomed.

The autumn is deep, and the sweet osmanthus fragrance spreads for ten miles.

If it were two months earlier, the mountains and fields full of rapeseed flowers would be beautiful.

Unfortunately, there is nothing now. There is only the green in the city filled with abundant water vapor...

It's very humid here in Tianhan, not at all like the northwest.

In summer, the high Qinling Mountains block the warm and humid air currents from south to north. There is also a large river and a dense network of waterways, so the air is moist and not hot.

When winter comes, the towering Qinling Mountains will block the cold air from the north. By that time, there will be heavy snow in northern Shaanxi, but the leaves in southern Shaanxi will still be green.

But there is one bad thing.

In summer, the water vapor blocked by the Qinling Mountains can dispel the heat, but it will also cause rain.

Shudong and his two assistants were walking on the street and taking some shots.

When we walked into a very charming old alley, it suddenly started to rain heavily.

Shudong and the others covered their heads and rushed into a small shop on the street holding the machines.

I didn't pay attention when I rushed in, but after I came in, I saw that it was a noodle shop that can be seen everywhere in Tianhan.

There were no customers in the noodle shop at that time, and there was an older lady sitting there browsing on her phone.

When I heard the sound and looked up, I saw three people coming in with wet hair.

He quickly stood up and handed over a box of tissues. Shudong took the tissues, thanked him, and took a few to wipe his hair.

The eldest sister laughed and said, "It's raining, run along the dam, you'll all get wet."

"What?" Shudong didn't quite understand. What does Yubaba mean?
Hearing the caller speaking Mandarin, the elder sister cleared her throat and said, "This is, ah, um." After trying several tones, she finally found the right tone and switched to Mandarin to explain, "It means you encountered rain."

Then he opened the shop door and looked up at the sky. "Don't worry, it won't rain for long."

After switching to Mandarin, the elder sister became a little frugal with words and even used local names for some words. I guess she was not used to it.

In fact, I really like listening to the locals speak. It's very interesting. This place is at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, so the dialect is more Sichuan-style.

As for the tone, when the men met on the street, they sounded quite Shaanxi-style, with loud voices as if they were arguing, but they hadn't started a quarrel yet.

The women's voices are much softer, without the "Shu Dao Shan" of Sichuan girls.

Sichuan dialect has a soft tone, and likes to have an upturned ending, which is very playful.

Shudong filmed a lot of footage of local people talking on the road, and planned to add a segment during editing. Tourism is about humanities, and dialect is also a kind of humanities.

He could already foresee that after the video was released, the girls from Sichuan and Shaanxi would have heated discussions in the comments.

There will be male compatriots from all over the country who will add fuel to the fire. I felt that my plan was successful, so I dried my hair and looked outside. The rain was still falling and I couldn't go out.

I can only continue hiding here.

But it seems inappropriate to borrow someone else's place to shelter from the rain without spending some money.

I was a little hungry too.

"Sister, what do we have here? Let's eat something first." Shudong and his two assistants found a place to sit down.

"Dough, vegetable tofu, noodles with rice water, fried noodles with rice water, fried vermicelli, and rice rolls are cold. If you want to eat some, I can heat them up for you. We also have fried vegetables and rice." The elder sister introduced and brought over a printed menu.

Shudong took it and took a look. He found that this small shop serves both breakfast and dinner, most of which are local specialties.

Just in time to shoot some material.

Then he asked, "Can we take some pictures?"

"Go ahead and take the photos. You guys are the ones who make the shaker, right?" The elder sister was very generous and agreed without thinking.

Although Shudong is not a blogger on Doudou, it doesn’t matter.

Have your assistant set up the machine.

Shudong ordered a few dishes, "Give me some noodles, vegetable tofu, rice noodles, stir-fried pork, and fried bacon with rice noodles, and three bowls of rice."

They are all local specialties. Noodles with vegetables and tofu are local breakfasts, rice noodles are the staple food, and fried bacon with rice noodles is a local specialty for dinner. As for twice-cooked pork, how can you not try twice-cooked pork when you come to Sichuan and Shaanxi?

Because there are breakfast and dinner, there are two cooking areas.

The noodles, vegetables and tofu for breakfast are made right in the corner of the restaurant lobby.

The eldest sister made the dough first.

She folded a large piece of white and yellowish translucent dough into a strip and placed it on the chopping board, then picked up the knife and asked, "Would you like a wide strip or a thin strip?"

When I looked through the tree hole, I was surprised to see a huge knife with a flat head, a wide and square surface. It was even bigger than the chopping board commonly used at home.

Is there anything particular about this?
"Give me both. I'll give you one more, one wide and one thin."

"Yes."

The eldest sister agreed and held the knife with both hands, one hand on the handle and the other on the blade, pressing the dough knife to "move" on the dough.

Well, it's not cut one by one, it's pressed one by one, like moving steps on the dough, and the speed is very fast.

Do the thin ones first.

After cutting the dough, the eldest sister held the bowl in one hand and picked up the dough from the middle with long chopsticks in the other hand.

Then she...

He actually soaked a piece of dough with chopsticks into the jar of oil and chili peppers on the side, turned it around and then scooped it out.

Thick red oil, with sesame seeds, dripped from the dough.

Wow, this is not about pouring the chili on and then mixing it, but directly dipping it in the chili oil, so that each one is dipped in the chili oil.

It looks scary when it's bright red.

The eldest sister saw that Shudong was quite troubled, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not spicy."

Shudong thought to himself, what you say is not spicy and what I feel is not spicy are probably not the same concept.

Put the noodles dipped in chili oil into a bowl, add some bean sprouts, and pour vinegar, garlic juice and sesame oil on it.

The tree hole tastes very fresh. It’s not cucumber shreds, but bean sprouts, and it doesn’t have gluten.

He also asked.

My elder sister said that the local dough is made of rice, the flour is not washed, and it does not contain gluten.

But now there are many people from other places, and if someone is willing to add gluten, she will give it to them if they want.

Shudong waved his hand and said forget it, let’s try the original flavor.

The eldest sister will go and make a wider one.

Shudong brought the thin one back to the table and stared at the two assistants.

The three of them can eat spicy food, but it's just normal.

This is a bit scary.

One assistant decisively picked up the camera, and the other stood up decisively to turn on the light.

Shudong gritted his teeth, picked up a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth with his eyes closed.

"Eh? It's really not spicy." It's so magical, it looks red and is only a little spicy, which is completely acceptable.

It’s not spicy, but very fragrant, with the fragrance of chili, oil and sesame.

With a hint of garlic and vinegar, it is soft, sticky and smooth, and really good.

“It’s not spicy, right? The food here is not spicy, and it’s not numbing either. It just looks scary.” The elder sister came over with the wide noodles and put them on the table.

I took a bite from the tree hole and found that the taste was the same, but the texture was different. The wider one was more satisfying, while the thinner one had a richer flavor.

It's all pretty good.

The two assistants saw that Shudong was eating happily, so the one holding the camera set it up on the table, and the one holding the light set it up next to it.

I quickly sat down and picked up the chopsticks.

"Hey, it's not spicy, not bad, not bad..."

The eldest sister is quick and nimble.

Several snacks and stir-fried dishes were served quickly.

I tried them one by one and found that they all tasted good.

He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Sister, the dishes you cook are top-notch. I can't stop eating them."

I was praising my elder sister. She was smiling non-stop.

I thought this guest was very nice, so I happily chatted with him and made some jokes.

When we were talking about which restaurant in Tianhan was the best, the eldest sister suddenly said, "This is the place with the best food. You guys can't eat here. You don't deserve it..."
