    Some of the people you meet are so kind and open- I don't know why I choked up a bit when that man was so proud of your Chinese, and was adamant to invite you home to share a meal with his family. That was a very sweet moment. UGH, and the grandpa at the end having fun with the drone was so adorable!!! I hope I'm that keen to new things I see when I'm old and gray!

    Excellent show! I've watched this video several times since you posted it and am simply amazed just how incredible this Hakka style farm-to-table restaurant was you both enjoyed and shared with us. The tour of their operation was just so wonderful, and particularly their frankness and sincerity to even strangers, which I find are the most enjoyable aspects of rural folk throughout East Asia. Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us of that lovely family. Back when I was in college in the 90s, many Chinese families in the U.S. would rent or sharecrop farmland so they could grow their own vegetables and sell the excess in Chinese restaurants and farmer's markets on the weekends for income while Chinese government-sponsored students with all their tuition and rent already paid.

It was pleasant to see you guys talk chinese to the locals, and how welcoming they all were.

    My first experience of "real" Chinese food was in Chengdu and then in the middle of nowhere, Liangshan. But the food was amazing. I miss true Sichuan and Yunnan food so much. All the places we ate were really clean, and even the restaurants that were rundown and old, and they were pretty much picked at random based on where we were and hungry.
    Also, tofu and eggplant are so well prepared in China, they're absolutely shit in the USA in my opinion.

      +merinsan Did you ask for it to be spicy? Sometimes, in my experience at least, they would make it less spicy if i didn't asked them to make it mala. I assume its because they think foreigners don't like spices.
      But you seriously missed out then... The first time I had Chengdu hot pot, I simultaneously cried and ate it because it was so spicy, yet so good.

They commonly prepare bitter gourd with salted (duck) egg here, and I grow to like it over time (just like stinky tofu). Sanitary conditions are much better here, though, I eat street food all the times and while I normally get sick easily, I never had a problem here.

    Awesome video. I love seeing rural China, and honestly I'm a bit of a clean freak myself especially when it comes to food so I doubt I'd last long, but that food looks great. Love seeing how they grow the crops and keep chickens out back.

    That little restaurant is amazing! The same kind of quality and pride that my family had coming over from Italy to the United States. It's so hard to find places like that anywhere really and right there in rural china you found that. It just goes to show you that no matter your background it's those who take a sense of pride in their food that always shine.

    Love how all the videos are made so genuinely, they don't forcibly make content for the viewer (or views), or go great length just to prove a point. They simply tackle China from a perspective which anyone who visits China would see, no crazy shit, no bizarre adventure. This is probably why their video doesn't become boring and repetitive like a lot of other RUclips channel.

      Not true. I'm Australian with bad mandarin. All the Chinese i have met have been so incredible. When i give them shit directions i've had taxi drivers call into base or call a cousin who speaks a little English just to try and help me out. Without some people in china i would not still be here. some come up to me in line to translate when they see i can't understand.. we immediately become friends on wechat and talk often. within 6 weeks of my arrival i had 40 unknown friends from random meetings.

  • @hakz07
    @hakz07 5 лет назад +1

    talking about friendly people. My family are from Bangladesh, whereas, I am from London, everytime I have gone there I have found locals very friendly, inviting me to their homes and eating with them. When I've told my family, that live over there, that I did this, they were angry because they think it is dangerous for me to do that. But locals, especially in rural areas, do not really see many foreigners, and you. accepting their invitation and going means the world to them. They can show you how they live, what they eat, or just have someone to share their experience with. They can also learn how your lives are different. I really do think, this isn't unique to china, but places where tourists don't really come that often.

  • @chemech
    @chemech 7 лет назад +7

    Totally awesome little restaurant there - it's really neat how they are going to the trouble to raise their own produce and poultry, coupled with the general cleanliness of the place.
    These people really care about their chosen line of business. Also, since they can raise a lot of their ingredients, they can save money - a nice synergy when you can find it.
    Funny thing is, I seldom had any digestion issues in China when eating at mid-range to relatively cheap places... a huge factor in this is the quality and amount of the cooking oils being used... that can be a problem anywhere in the world.

  • @TIRapi1993

    As a Chinese American, let me tell you something interesting. I used to live in Vermont, a very rural part of America. There was no racial diversity whatsoever. I was like a banana in the milk. I also went to your neighboring country, Zimbabwe, as a tourist. Banana in the ink. People were also very excited to see me when I was in Vermont as well as Zimbabwe. Just like the way these Chinese people responded to you. But can you believe? Even in America, you still have places like Vermont to this very day, where there is hardly any racial diversity at all. Much kudos to that young man trying to speak English to you, by the way, especially according to what he said, he never had anyone to practice English with. Impressive! Wow, you mean to tell me there are still places in China, where people had never seen foreigners?

      For all of the preoccupation with spitting in China, its fun to watch as so many sanctimonious Westerners, ignorant of their own cultural history, presume to criticize others when they ironically continue to have issues with the subject in the West. One would think that after 100+ years of attempting to use the law to eliminate the practice in the West, that the issue would be moot - which is - surprise - NOT the case.

    In some ways, reminds me of Greece. When I lived in Greece, I could go to these little villages in the mountains, or in the islands, such as Crete, where most people had never seen a foreigner. And they were so friendly, and everybody in the village would come out and all together they would take me to a kitchen and prepare their favorite foods, which always included snails. They really enjoyed watching my reactions to eating snails. Delicious, actually. But they have this wine that they call Retsina ... talk about an acquired taste! Retsina tastes like turpentine, and I couldn't take it at first. Eventually I developed a taste for it.
