The reason why the TV station chose to come over for filming and interviewing in the evening was naturally that they had made preparations in advance. Including Li Fei'er, many people from the TV station came over privately to get the inside scoop.
As we all know, the old street has fewer people during the day, but it is still crowded during the night market.
Therefore, in order to capture the characteristics of the night market on the old street and to create an atmosphere where the old street is still crowded with people, the TV station decided to come in the evening after discussion.
The camera followed Li Feier as she visited each shop, allowing many TV station staff who seldom visited the old street to discover that there were indeed many traditional shops on this old street.
In addition to the bamboo weaving shop on the west side near the street entrance, there is also a handmade pottery shop further inside.
It was already dark that day, and as we walked a little further in, we saw wood carving shops, lacquerware shops, and even an embroidery shop.
The TV station staff were already amazed by the presence of wood carving and lacquerware shops, and they were even more curious when they saw the embroidery shop selling handmade embroidery.
Li Feier was obviously well prepared and led everyone into the hand-embroidery shop.
The layout of the shop is completely different from other shops on the old street. The whole shop exudes an ancient and elegant atmosphere.
When you step into the shop, you can see all kinds of embroidery hanging on the wall. The glass counters in the shop are also filled with embroidery, including handkerchiefs, sheets, pillowcases, and even fans.
At the end of the counter, there was a screen. Behind the screen, an elegant old lady was supervising two young people who were embroidering.
Li Feier signaled to the TV staff who followed in, asking them to speak more quietly and not to all come closer.
Then she asked the photographer to come forward and stand a little further away to take a picture of the person who was doing the delicate embroidery in the back.
But just as he approached, the supervising old lady noticed the movement and turned around.
The old lady was a little surprised at first to see so many people entering the shop, but soon she saw Li Feier, and a charming smile immediately appeared on her face.
Walking out from behind the screen, the old lady of the embroidery shop, Liu Wanhua, said with a smile, "Fei'er, are you here to take pictures of the old street?"
Li Feier responded with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Liu, I didn't disturb you, did I?"
Liu Wanhua looked back, and the two young men behind the screen naturally looked back as well.
This time Liu Wanhua did not blame them. Instead, she turned around and smiled and said to Li Feier, "It's okay. If you want to take pictures, then go in and take pictures. Huihui, you two continue. Don't be shy in front of the camera."
The female of the two behind the screen immediately responded, "Okay Master, we definitely can't embarrass you."
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "Girl, just do your best. There is no such thing as shame or not."
At Li Feier's signal, the photographer naturally went behind the screen to carefully film the embroidery process of the two young embroiderers.
Li Feier asked Liu Wanhua softly, "Aunt Liu, aren't you usually not in the shop at this time?"
Through Su Ji's relationship, Li Feier had also learned some about the people and things on the old street in advance.
This embroidery shop is owned by Liu Wanhua, but the old lady is usually not in the shop at night. The old lady doesn't like noise, and the night market in the old street is a bit too noisy for her, so her two apprentices are here to look after the shop at night.
Hearing this, Liu Wanhua smiled and replied softly, "It was Yifan who told me that you guys were coming to shoot today, so he asked me to stay in the shop. Otherwise, I should have had dinner at Su Ji and then went dancing."
Hearing what the old lady said, Li Feier suddenly understood why there were so many shop owners on the old street today
It turned out that after Feng Yifan received the news from Li Feier, he specifically reminded these bosses on the old street.
The purpose is to present the most realistic scene of the old street night market to the citizens of Huaicheng and the relevant departments responsible for the reconstruction of the old street through TV shooting today.
Li Feier thought about it and had to admit that Feng Yifan's arrangement was indeed very good.
Through their TV programs, more people can truly see the prosperity of the old street, and see the existence of many craftsmanship of the old shops in the old street, which needs to be protected and promoted.
After all, Huaicheng was once a city where the Grand Canal flowed through, and it was also a famous city with flourishing flowers in ancient times.
After the photographer finished the shooting, Li Feier faced the camera and interviewed old lady Liu Wanhua.
For example, ask when did the old lady start learning embroidery? And who was her teacher
During the interview, Liu Wanhua did not hide the fact that when she was young, she entered a state-owned embroidery art factory and worked there for most of her life, from an apprentice to a master.
Later, the factory was in recession and the old lady felt depressed for a while. But she did not give up her craft and persisted in studying it for many years. Finally, one of her embroidery works won a prize.
After winning the award, the old lady's embroidery works were sought after by many enthusiasts at home and abroad.
The old lady's former colleague once invited her to go to Shanghai to jointly establish an embroidery studio, but the old lady ultimately refused.
Li Feier asked curiously to the camera: "Aunt Liu, why do you refuse to go to Shanghai? In a big city like Shanghai, it seems that craftsmen like you who focus on craftsmanship will have better development."
Liu Wanhua smiled and replied: "Because I am old, I prefer the comfortable life in a small city. And the most important thing is that there are Su Ji's dishes here. Maybe you will laugh at me, but I am really greedy."
After hearing the old lady's answer, especially the last sentence "I'm quite greedy", it really shows a sense of cuteness.
All the TV station staff present couldn't help but smile.
Some of the people in charge of the TV station's program were quite surprised to hear the name "Su Ji" again.
Because of this development, almost all shop owners will mention the name Su Ji when they are interviewed.
The people at the TV station couldn't help but wonder, was this arranged
Thinking about how Li Fei'er had strongly recommended Su Ji on TV, a group of people were really curious about Su Ji. Could it be that a small restaurant on this old street could really serve such good food
After interviewing Mrs. Liu’s embroidery shop, the group went to the wood carving shop next door for another interview.
But as soon as I entered the door, I heard a very rude roar from inside the shop: "Can you pay more attention? Look at yourself. After all this time, where have you improved?"
Such a low roar and rebuke really made Li Feier and the others feel a little embarrassed. They all stood in front of the door, not knowing what to do.
Soon, Liu Wanhua, who heard the noise next door, hurried over, pushed through the crowd and entered the shop first.
Liu Wanhua said to Lin Zekang, the owner of the woodcarving shop, "Old Lin, what are you doing? Is it easy for your child to come back? Can't you be more patient? You are so old, but you still have such a hot temper."
Lin Zekang had also received the news from Feng Yifan before, so he called his son back today.
However, there are always some clashes of ideas between the father and son.
Liu Wanhua came in and gave some advice, and also reminded Lin Zekang that the people from the TV station were still waiting.
Lin Zekang calmed down a little, called his son over, and specifically recommended him to Li Feier.
It is obvious that although there is a clash of ideas, the father still hopes to recommend his son more and gain more opportunities through this TV interview.
Of course, Lin Zekang’s son also understood his father’s intentions, and was also very serious and positive when facing the camera.
Li Feier did give Lin Zekang's son "Lin Rui" a chance and also gave him a few close-up shots.
Lin Rui's clothes and appearance are very artistic. Not only does he have a small braid, but his clothes and appearance are also very artistic.
Some of the conversations during the interview, and even some of the wood carving demonstrations, were quite appropriate.
Lin Zekang was also very satisfied with some of his son's performance, and temporarily put aside the previous clash of ideas between the father and son.
After the interview was over and the people from the TV station left, Lin Rui said to his father, "Dad, the interview is over, so I'm going back. I still have some work to do."
Lin Zekang was a little dissatisfied when he heard this: "You are busy all day long, but I don't see you accomplish anything."
Seeing that Lin Zekang was about to lose his temper, Liu Wanhua quickly stopped him: "Okay, Old Lin, young people have their own ideas. Isn't Xiao Rui doing well now? He is sticking to the craftsmanship you taught him and doing garden design for others. He is already doing very well."
Lin Zekang finally stopped scolding his son after Liu Wanhua's persuasion. He just said calmly, "Okay, go and get busy. Don't forget your lifelong event. You are already 35."
Lin Rui felt somewhat helpless and did not respond to his father's words. He just said goodbye to his father and Liu Wanhua respectfully, then left with his tool bag on his back.
After his son walked out of the shop, Lin Zekang took a few steps forward and stood at the door, watching his son's back disappear into the crowd in the night.
Liu Wanhua walked behind Lin Zekang, sighed and said, "You really should change your temper. Don't always quarrel with Xiao Rui as soon as he comes back before you can say a few words to him."
Lin Zekang shook his head helplessly: "Look at him, he's hanging out outside all day, he's already 35 and he's still not married."
Liu Wanhua went on to comfort him, "Young people nowadays are very tired and are working hard for their dreams. It's normal to get married later. You, instead of nagging here, why don't you find some connections and introduce him to a few more girls."
Lin Zekang felt even more helpless after hearing this: "I also want to introduce him to someone, but he didn't even want to meet the few people I asked someone to introduce to him. I really can't do anything about it."
Liu Wanhua could only say: "Maybe it's not fate yet, don't rush."
Lin Zekang went on to say, "I'm not in a hurry for him to get married, but he's been hanging out outside all day, doing garden design and other messy things. I really don't know what to say."
Liu Wanhua said: "Xiao Rui has his own ideas. What he does is also related to art. Many things are common. Don't force him to come back and do wood carving with you."
In the end, Lin Zekang could only say: "Forget it, I can't do anything about it, just let him be. I just hope he can live up to himself."
The TV station's filming continued, moving all the way towards the east side of the old street.
As we got closer to the eastern half of the old street, more and more people came here.
The reason is simple. Most of the restaurants are located on the eastern half of the old street. Therefore, many foodies who visit the night market tend to concentrate on the eastern half of the old street.
The TV station staff were immediately attracted by the various aromas when they entered the eastern half of the old street.
Li Feier introduced again: "Okay, next we are going to enter the East Street of the old street. I believe my colleagues here should have smelled the temptation from the delicious food."
The photographer shook the camera up and down gently, as if to acknowledge what Li Feier said.
Afterwards, Li Feier led everyone into East Street and first came to a rice wine shop.
As soon as you approach the shop, the unique aroma of rice wine hits you in the face. It really gives you a feeling of fragrance spreading thousands of miles. Just smelling the aroma makes you feel as if you are drunk.
Seeing Li Feier coming, the proprietress Wang Cuifeng immediately came out to greet her warmly: "Welcome, welcome, please come in."
Hearing the proprietress's warm welcome, the owner Fan Chaodong, who was tidying up the shop, also turned around.
Fan Chaodong was not in the shop these days. Because the space in the old street shop is limited, the rice wine shop is not brewing here. Fan Chaodong was not in the shop these days, but stayed at the brewing workshop.
However, today, Wang Cuifeng received news from Feng Yifan and called her husband in the afternoon to prepare for an interview with the TV station.
Li Feier led the cameraman in and first took a photo of the shop as a whole.
The layout of the wine shop is very retro and resembles that of ancient wine shops. Various wine jars are placed on rows of wooden shelves. There is also a wooden cabinet inside the wooden counter, which is also filled with various wine jugs.
If you observe carefully, you will find an interesting place in the wine shop.
The wine jars all seem to come from the pottery shop on the old street, and some of the wine jars are wrapped in bamboo that comes from Tang Zhuochen's Bamboo Weaving Shop.
Among the wine jugs displayed on the cabinet, there are lacquerware wine jugs from the lacquerware shop in front, as well as wood-carved wine jugs.
Looking at the furnishings in the wine shop, everyone couldn't help but laugh, thinking that it was really a good use of things from many shops on the west side of the old street.
Li Feier was very clear that this was very common in the old street, including in Su Ji, and there were also some other shops displaying goods.
However, since we are in the rice wine shop, we still have to talk about some issues related to rice wine.
The proprietress Wang Cuifeng, together with the boss Fan Chaodong, introduced various types of rice wine and served some rice wine for everyone to taste.
Li Feier took two sips and stopped drinking. She waved her hand and said, "No, I can't drink. I haven't eaten tonight. I can't drink so much on an empty stomach."
Wang Cuifeng smiled and said, "Haven't you eaten yet? Then you can go to Su Ji to eat."
It’s “Su Ji” again. The TV station staff who have never been to Su Ji are really getting more and more curious. Is that century-old store really that good
