Chapter 1280: Chinese style(1/2)

New York, USA.

Inside a regular apartment in Soho, Midtown Manhattan.

Jack Henderson and Daniela Hawley are a very ordinary young couple in this metropolis.

Thursday evening.

After taking a shower, Daniela, who put on a mask, came to the bedroom in her pajamas and saw her boyfriend playing the recently popular "Counter-Strike OL" game in front of the computer. She deliberately took off her pajamas and showed her boyfriend a beautiful body wrapped in a black Victoria's Secret lace underwear.

After a while, seeing her boyfriend still staring at the computer screen and turning a blind eye to her, Daniela finally rushed over and squeezed into Jack's arms, interrupting his struggle.

Jack is a person with a good temper. He just hugged his girlfriend's slender waist helplessly, looked at the headshot on the computer screen, and begged softly: "Baby, I'll kill 1,000 immediately. I can get the achievements. Let me play for another half an hour, how about it?"

Daniela ignored these things and snatched the mouse and said, "Even if you get 10,000 yuan to kill, you will be shot in the real battlefield. By the way, I made an appointment with Kate and the others today to watch "Titanic" together tomorrow night. Pay attention to the time and don't be late again."

Jack obviously wasn't interested: "I heard it's a bad movie, why not wait to watch "The Flash 2" next week?"

"Because Kate likes Leon very much, and, where did you hear it was bad? The media gave a high evaluation when the Venice premiered. There was also the Los Angeles premiere yesterday, and today's word-of-mouth lifted, look..." Daniela said, opening the film and television section of the Igret portal, which showed the comprehensive media rating of "Titanic" up to 8.9, and then said to her boyfriend: "What's more, it is said that this movie cost 200 million US dollars. I'm also curious where so much money was spent. Let's watch it together."

Jack had no choice but to nod: "Okay."

As he said this, Daniela had turned off the theme page of "Titanic" and turned to YouTube, intending to watch a few videos.

The beauty blogger I often watch has not updated today. Daniela glanced at the homepage and accidentally noticed a video showing Chinese subtitles. She clicked in curiously and muttered: "What is this?"

After entering the video page, Daniela read it out after adding some English notes: "Make some snacks in your spare winter."

While talking, the video has started playing.

A couple who were not very interested were instantly attracted by the scenery of Guilin, which was floating in mist like a fairyland. Jack, who was hugging his girlfriend, couldn't help but sigh: "It's so beautiful."

Daniela nodded and asked her boyfriend, "Is this China?"

"Obviously," Jack pointed to the blogger's name "Lin Youran" who didn't know the bottom of the video but knew it was Chinese characters: "Look, there is also the scenery just now, compared with those small towns in Europe, it is obviously different."

As the two said, the camera had cut into a quaint farmyard.

Daniela operated the mouse, maximized the playback interface, and adjusted the sound, and the pure natural bird singing came immediately.

In a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere, a farm girl with a beautiful face and a simple dress carries a basket on her back and leaves the yard with a little yellow dog jumping around her feet, crosses the mountain path, crosses the gurgling clear stream, and collects various wild fruits.

Back to the courtyard, various ingredients have been collected on the wooden table under the eaves.

There was also a tabby cat, lazily shrank itself into a ball, occupied a bamboo basket on the table alone, and was sleeping soundly. When he noticed the hostess' return, he only moved his flexible little ears.

There is no soundtrack at all, and there is no vocal interpretation. It is almost like this pure natural birds and dogs. The girl began to make a variety of traditional Chinese snacks, candied haws, mung bean cakes, ginger sliced ​​candy, fried chestnuts...

The video only took 10 minutes, but a day in the courtyard passed by in a blink of an eye.

In the evening, the ingredients on the wooden table under the eaves had turned into neat frames of snacks. The final picture shows the girl sitting on a lounge chair next to the wooden table, enjoying a plate of ginger candy, lying on her knees, a lazy tabby cat, a little yellow dog sticking out her tongue, and next to the courtyard is green mountains, and the setting sun is set, comfortable and warm.

When the picture was dark, the couple hugged each other came to their senses.

Daniela spoke first and said, "I really want to live this kind of life. I'm already annoyed by the job of Bloomberg. Even ordinary employees like us are forced to find ways to compete with Aliya. I only get an annual salary of $35,000."

Jack still has a good temper and smiled: "If you don't like it, you can change a job. I may get a promotion after the New Year, even if you don't have a job for a while."

Hearing this, Daniela turned around and kissed her boyfriend, and said, "Jack, you are so nice, but I still won't quit. I will leave when Bloomberg goes bankrupt one day. It's a lot of trouble to change jobs."

Jack nodded with a gentle smile and said, "Actually, don't you think this is obviously a posing?"

"So what, such a beautiful place, even if it is followed by the camera every moment, I am happy," Daniela said, and suddenly felt spirited: "Jack, why don't we take time to travel to China? Haven't you taken a vacation this year? I'll keep my vacation, just like the New Year?"

"It seems very troublesome to go to China, and there is no visa there."

"A short-term travel visa shouldn't be too difficult. I'll take the time to inquire," Daniela said, seeing her boyfriend nodding, and then looked at the computer screen: "Just go here, by the way, where is this?"

"I don't know."

Daniela sat upright, held the mouse and pulled it to the comment section, and glanced at the video introduction. This was a video released on Tuesday night. In about two days, the total clicks had reached 490,000, and there were tens of thousands of comments.

I didn't expect it to be so popular.

However, thinking about it again, it was expected that the two of them were immersed in it just now.

The hottest comment made Daniela feel very similar. A netizen from London: "I don't know why I finished watching this video, and I watched it three times. In short, I like it very much."

This message has more than 3,400 likes, and it is obvious that many people think so.

In the busy and fast-paced life, I suddenly see such a leisurely and comfortable video and will feel much better.

Daniela clicked a like casually, and then remembered that she moved the mouse up and pressed the subscription button. This blogger is still worth collecting.

Then I pulled down the comments and quickly found a message asking where the video was filmed. The video blogger named "Lin Youran" personally gave a reply, saying that the video was filmed in Guilin, Guangxi, China, and everyone is welcome to play.

This reply also attracted a series of comments and likes.

Daniela didn't know where Guilin, Guangxi was. Even though the blogger wrote the address in bilingual Chinese and English, she still didn't understand it. This did not prevent her from copying the address in a notepad file on her computer.

After doing this, Daniela also wrote a message of her: "The salaryman from New York really envys the blogger's peaceful life and looks forward to traveling to China."

The comment was posted, and I also liked it myself.

Jack looked at his girlfriend's comments and pointed to the similar recommendations on the side of the video: "What else, let's see another one?"

Daniela glanced at her. The Chinese titles were all Chinese. She started two videos with the same "Lin Youran". However, after a little hesitation, Daniela selected another blogger's video, and switched the page, with the title "Build a Boat".

Click in.

This time, the blogger's name is four words: Jiangnan Time.

Of course, Daniela and the other two didn't know each other, but they just thought that the red seal style mark of the blogger's name was obviously very interesting in the lower right corner of the video.

It is very different from the Guilin Mountain Residence where Lin Youran is located, this time I came to a quaint water town.

The protagonist is a young girl with graceful temperament, wearing a beautiful cheongsam in blue and white porcelain printing and dyeing style, gathering a group of craftsmen with vicissitudes of face but clean clothes to discuss the creation of a black-sailed boat that can shuttle through the stream in front of the door.

Compared to the video where Lin Youran didn't say a word in the whole process just now, there are some English narrations this time.

Quite standard American accent.

However, it is still mainly Chinese, and the English narration is just the one that occasionally highlights. As for the conversations of the characters in the video, even if you don’t understand them, you can easily guess based on the narration and the characters’ actions, and it does not affect the viewing experience at all.

When she was a teenager, Jack, who was obsessed with handmade time, was quickly attracted by the video, while Daniela noticed the cheongsam on the girl in the video, and she liked it the more she looked. She had a very good figure and thought that wearing this traditional Chinese dress would be very beautiful, but she didn't know where to buy it.

Maybe you can take your boyfriend to Chinatown on weekends.

The video was also not long, and in 12 minutes, a brand new black-sailed boat was successfully completed.

Then go into the water.

The old shipman stood at the stern of the boat rowing, and the graceful cheongsam woman sat at the bow of the boat, holding a flute in her hand. The song of unknown name seemed to be soaked in the town's years of the past year, and in the camera, she went away with the floating black-sailed boat.

When the video ended, seeing his girlfriend turned around immediately, Jack immediately said: "I still don't know where, but I want to go and see it this time."

Daniela smiled, suddenly seemed to find something, and said to her boyfriend: "This is not a Chinese travel promotional video, right?"

"Who knows, it's really good anyway."

Jack said, reaching out and pressing his hand on his girlfriend's little hand over the mouse. After Daniela reminded him, he did not forget to click to subscribe. Then he chose another blogger with a Chinese name.

This time it is a small island in the middle of a large lake.

The same young woman, in a different style, drove a fishing boat to catch fish in the lake, and then skillfully made a 'squirrel mandarin fish' that made the couple in front of the computer a little confused.

I don't understand why it is called squirrel mandarin.

Fortunately, the woman did not serve with something as cute as the squirrel in the video, otherwise Jack and Daniela would definitely not be able to resist reporting it.

Cruel!

In any case, the dish that was placed on a white porcelain plate felt delicious through the screen.

It's greedy!

It seems that I really want to go to Chinatown on the weekend.

Cheongsam, squirrel mandarin fish.

There are also the candied haws and ginger slices of candy in the first video just now.

As for the black-sailed boat, this one is too big, so I can only forget it.

In addition, you need to consult about traveling to China.

Daniela simply pulled the keyboard and typing, and listed a memo.

After the third video, the two became more and more interested. Once again, they selected the recommendation column next to them. Jack found the two Chinese characters "Kung Fu" he happened to know and pointed it. Daniela wanted to watch another Chinese food video. However, she was also interested in Chinese Kung Fu, so she followed her boyfriend once.

Then there is amazement.

A person's hands can actually practice to the extent that he can capture deep marks on a brick wall. Is it certain that it is not a special effect?

The wooden stick that was thicker than Daniela's calf hit a person. Daniela screamed and covered her eyes and didn't dare to look at it. As a result, the stick was fine, and the wooden stick was broken into two pieces. Is this true?

The childish little boy, who has not yet lost his temper, easily smashes walnuts with bare hands. Doesn’t his hands hurt?

Someone can actually climb a wall of four or five meters with his bare hands. Isn’t the light skills in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" all nonsense?

Such various

This column called "Visiting Chinese Kung Fu" released a total of three videos, each about 10 minutes. The young Western couple sitting in front of the computer watched it in one breath.

In total, there is not only a series of unique kung fu skills that can only be seen in movies, but also a Chinese old man with white hair but energetic hair discusses and shares the various principles and connotations of Chinese kung fu with the host.
