Chapter 38: I want to take pictures of a small restaurant

Views:

Su Ruoxi separated from her husband in a panic, and she didn't even know what to do.

Fortunately, Feng Yifan was relatively calm. He looked at the person who had already stepped into the door. It was Meng Shitong who had come to have dinner yesterday.

But today, Meng Shitong not only came alone, but also brought a few unfamiliar faces, and they were also carrying some filming equipment in their hands.

Looking at the equipment of Meng Shitong and his group, Feng Yifan roughly guessed their purpose.

In terms of time, it was just after Feng Yifan came back from abroad that some food videos started to become popular in China in the past few years. Among them, videos of exploring food stores were particularly popular, and many people would go out to explore stores with DVs in their hands.

Of course, there are also some people who have the support of professional companies. Like Meng Shitong and others today, they will bring more professional equipment to visit some very special restaurants.

On one hand, this kind of store exploration shooting can bring traffic and attention to the people who make the store exploration videos because of the temptation of delicious food; on the other hand, it will also attract a lot of customers to the stores being filmed and promote some specialty restaurants.

Su Ruoxi finally calmed down and looked at the equipment brought by Meng Shitong and others, feeling a little strange.

"What are you doing? Why are you bringing these things with you to eat?"

Obviously, Su Ruoxi was still relatively unfamiliar with this type of store photography, so she felt very confused for a moment.

Before Feng Yifan could explain to his wife, Meng Shitong stepped into the store and said with a smile, "Hello, boss lady. We are here today to take a special photo of your restaurant."

Su Ruoxi was a little surprised when she heard this: "Filming our restaurant? What are you going to film?"

Seeing the surprise on her face, Meng Shitong explained with a smile: "It's like this, we want to film some of the characteristics of your restaurant, then edit it into a video and post it online to promote your restaurant."

Su Ruoxi was still very surprised and asked: "Are you from the TV station?"

Hearing his wife ask this, Feng Yifan couldn't help laughing. If his wife said this in a few years, it might be regarded as a joke, right

However, the shooting of food videos on the Internet has only recently become popular, so for someone like Su Ruoxi who spends most of her time running a small restaurant, it is indeed a little unfamiliar.

Without waiting for Meng Shitong to answer, Feng Yifan took the initiative to introduce himself to his wife and told her about the online video.

After listening to Feng Yifan's introduction, Su Ruoxi was shocked, and Meng Shitong was also a little surprised.

Su Ruoxi was shocked because she didn't expect that it was possible to promote it in this way and post the video on the Internet.

Meng Shitong was more surprised because Feng Yifan was so knowledgeable about online videos. You know, it is just beginning to emerge and many aspects of it are actually not very mature yet.

Meng Shitong is doing this because she was originally a well-known fashion blogger with enough followers to do video promotion.

Seeing his wife's surprised expression, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "In fact, in the future, there may be some live broadcasts of food, which can be put on the Internet and directly broadcast to others, and interact with the viewers in real time."

Hearing this, Meng Shitong couldn't help but ask, "Chef Feng, do you know about live streaming?"

Feng Yifan naturally knew this, and he also knew that this was a period when online live streaming was gradually emerging in China.

It won’t be long before live streaming will attract the attention of many people and gradually become a new industrial chain.

Thinking of this, Feng Yifan suddenly felt that maybe in the future, he could stay in his father-in-law's small restaurant and do a live broadcast while cooking, which should be a very interesting thing.

Feng Yifan smiled and said to Meng Shitong: "When I was abroad, I heard that live streaming in China was gradually growing and developing."

The photographer who came with Meng Shitong immediately said, "Yes, live streaming has gradually become a mainstream entertainment mode in China. Sister Meng is actually preparing for it. We also want to find an opportunity to try live streaming."

Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Well, new attempts are always good. Are you sure you want to shoot our restaurant?"

Meng Shitong answered seriously: "Yes, we know that this old street is about to be rebuilt, so we want to make a special video about the old street and shoot some of the special restaurants on the old street.

When the old street is rebuilt, we will come back to revisit it. It should be very interesting then.”

Meng Shitong's words made Feng Yifan nod his head: "Your plan is great, a new life for the old street?"

After hearing what Feng Yifan said, everyone present thought it was a good name: "Old Street Newborn" is a good name. Let's use this name for our special edition. Sister Meng, what do you think?"

Meng Shitong thought about it and thought it was a good idea. She agreed, "Okay, let's call it this."

Then, Meng Shitong asked seriously: "Boss, Boss Lady, do you welcome us to come and shoot?"

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Of course you're welcome. Free publicity is exactly what we at Su Ji need."

Meng Shitong immediately laughed, and then asked, "Then Chef Feng, can we film your kitchen? Film some of you cooking?"

Su Ruoxi immediately said, "No, you can't just go into the kitchen."

Su Jinrong, who was sitting in a wheelchair without saying anything, was also a little excited at this time and couldn't help but said, "No, it's okay."

Seeing the old man in the wheelchair refuse, Meng Shitong felt a little embarrassed. The people accompanying him wanted to persuade him again, but she stopped them.

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I probably can't let you take pictures of me cooking because there's a lot of smoke, but you can take pictures of the kitchen, and you can also take pictures of me making fried rice at noon."

A person who came with Meng Shitong asked curiously: "Fried rice for lunch? Don't you guys cook any dishes for lunch?"

Feng Yifan smiled and replied, "Yes, we don't cook at noon in Su Ji. We cook at dinner, and only serve noodles and fried rice at noon."

This answer surprised Meng Shitong and others. They never thought that such a rule would exist in a small restaurant.

A photographer who was here last time couldn't help but mutter, "It's not a big restaurant, but it has a lot of rules."

When Meng Shitong heard this, she glared at the other person, causing the photographer to stop talking and follow Meng Shitong obediently.

Feng Yifan also heard what the photographer said and said with a smile: "Su Ji has been passed down to me for the seventh generation. We younger generations can change some things, but there are some things that even I, the chef, cannot change casually."

Meng Shitong and others listened thoughtfully. Among them, Meng Shitong was the first to figure out the key and nodded secretly.

As for Meng Shitong, she has actually shot a lot of store exploration videos and has also visited many traditional old stores.

Compared to those old restaurants that stick to all traditions and never change their dishes for decades, Meng Shitong saw a different kind of inheritance in the young chef Feng Yifan in Su Ji, a small restaurant.

Keeping what's passed down by our ancestors doesn't mean keeping it unchanged, but making appropriate innovations based on their foundation.

Only in this way can we pass on the legacy to better inheritors.

Next, Meng Shitong and others finally entered the restaurant and only then did they smell the rich sweet aroma of cookies in the restaurant.

Following the scent, a woman traveling with me couldn't help but exclaimed, "Wow, the boss even bakes his own cookies?" Then she looked around the quaint little restaurant and said, "Is this a mix and match? The boss is really fashionable."
