For the athletes of the track and field team in winter training, the only impression of the 2020 Spring Festival is that on New Year's Eve, Su Bai and head chef Jin Manjiang led all the chefs in the national team's kitchen to prepare a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner for the athletes who stayed in the national team training base in China.
Although this New Year's Eve dinner still had to comply with the principles of nutritional rationing, with Su Bai and Jin Manjiang in charge, once the big stove in the national team canteen was lit, the aroma wafted away continuously, causing many greedy players to squat in the national team canteen and refuse to leave.
The recording of the Track and Field Idol Training Camp has not yet ended. For tonight's New Year's Eve dinner for the track and field team, the program crew directly discussed with the national team and arranged a 'cloud dinner' for all members of the track and field team and the athletes' families.
The national team's cafeteria has already been decorated, with live broadcast cameras throughout the restaurant. There is also an interactive large screen on site, which will be connected to the homes of each athlete. When the time comes, the national team members will eat at the national team and occasionally meet with their families on the other side of the live broadcast camera on the 'cloud', which can also slightly alleviate the athletes' regret of not being able to celebrate the New Year with their families.
While the program crew was setting up the scene, they also smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen. They all held their stomachs, as if they could hear the rumbling sounds in their own stomachs.
"Ahhh, this smell... Coach Su is cooking!"
One of the staff members of the program group yelled, sniffing the delicious aroma of the fish soup coming from the kitchen, and felt that his soul was about to be hooked away - this smell, just smelling it, you can tell how delicious this soup is. Just think about it, when the warm and delicious fish soup is put into your mouth, there is no need for heavy seasoning in the soup. The light salty taste is matched with the delicious taste of the fish soup that has been boiled until it is silky white, and it slides smoothly into your stomach...
Oh, that feeling!
The staff member, who was so hungry that he cried just by imagining it, looked eagerly towards the kitchen, feeling aggrieved. He had just come in from the cold outdoors and felt that he especially needed a bowl of delicious and fragrant fish soup.
Another staff member beside him had a curious look on his face: "No way, Brother Li, you can smell that this fish soup is made by Coach Su? How can it not be made by Chef Jin? Chef Jin is the head chef of the national team!"
The staff member called Brother Li shook his head with an expression of "you are ignorant" and sighed: "You joined our team late. During the first season of the 'Training Camp' last year, I was responsible for following Coach Su for a few days. At that time, he was less busy than now, unlike now when he could only work occasionally. Last year, he prepared breakfast for the players every morning. We were lucky enough to taste Coach Su's cooking skills back then... I'm afraid you may find this exaggerated, but I really think Coach Su's hands can turn decay into magic."
"A bowl of porridge and a side dish, as long as it's been cooked by Coach Su, the taste... Anyway, I felt that I could drink ten bowls of porridge at that time..."
Brother Li was recalling the good times of last year, and a faint aroma of soy sauce began to emerge from his nose. This smell was definitely strong and overbearing in the national team's menu, where the diet was generally light. As a result, the sound of "gurgling" of swallowing saliva increased in the restaurant.
In the kitchen, Jin Manjiang had just finished working for a while when he smelled the aroma of stewed meat coming from the other end. He said with a smile, "Coach Xiao Su, I haven't seen you for a while. Why do I feel like your cooking skills have improved?"
Su Bai smiled good-naturedly and replied, "Master Jin, thank you for your praise."
Jin Manjiang smiled and didn't say much. He has been an old cook for so many years. To exaggerate a little, his nose is as good as Cui Luoheng's tongue. The pot of meat in Su Bai's hand looks simple, but the spices used in the stew are precisely matched. Not only does it avoid spices such as cloves that athletes cannot eat, but it also blends a taste that is not inferior to traditional recipes. The aroma alone is enough to make people salivate.
Oh, what a pity! Su Bai is now a national-level coach. It was impossible for him to develop into a chef before, and it is even more impossible now.
In the restaurant, after the staff of the program group set up the live broadcast camera, they finally had some free time before the live broadcast began. So the staff member who had previously called "Brother Li" was now free. Although he did not dare to walk far, he also walked around the national team's cafeteria, and then saw a "Food Ban List" hanging somewhere in the national team's cafeteria.
The list reads 'Food prohibited for athletes when traveling/returning home'. What's exaggerated is that there is a bracket after the list - common.
_(:3)∠)_
That is to say, in addition to this common list, there are actually some uncommon banned foods, but they are not included in this notification list.
And in this list marked 'common'... the foods on it are really very common, starting with cloves and licorice, followed by pork, beef, mutton, lotus seeds, lotus seed cores and a long list of other foods, including braised food, luncheon meat, ham, animal offal and other common foods.
After reading the list of prohibited foods, the staff member was dumbfounded. He turned to look at his senior, Brother Li, and pointed at the list in a daze and asked, "Brother Li, why are there so many things that cannot be eaten? If so, what can the athletes eat when they go home?"
Who would have thought that someone would answer him, but it was not his predecessor 'Brother Li', but Qiu Wen.
"Wow, don't mention it, that's why we went home so miserable! qaq"
Qiu Wen hasn't looked at the banned food list for a long time. It's not that he is immune to it, but "I don't have to go home anyway, so I don't want to look at this thing and make trouble."
"Ah, I smell beef casserole! Long live Shiro!"
He had just said how miserable it was to not be able to eat, but then Qiu Wen's attention was completely drawn to the aroma wafting from the kitchen. He looked so eager, as if he couldn't wait to eat.
The staff laughed when they saw him like that. Qiu Wen didn't have any temper and happily planned to sit down at his seat in the cafeteria so that he could start eating right away.
After seeing the banned food list, the staff member called 'Brother Li' suddenly had an idea and went straight to the director of the program. After communicating his ideas with the director, the director's eyes lit up and he agreed to 'Brother Li's' proposal. Afterwards, the program team added a live camera in front of the huge banned food list, and cut the default live screen directly to the camera facing the banned food list.
Although today is New Year's Eve, this is the Internet age after all, and there are still many people surfing the Internet at this time. Many people have also made appointments for the live broadcast after knowing that the production team of "Training Camp Season 2" has organized this "cloud dinner", and are ready to watch the track and field team's New Year's Eve dinner live broadcast and the live version of the "Olympic Family Observation Group" quarreling with people.
The live broadcast room had actually been opened at this moment, but the official live broadcast had not yet begun, and the screen was still black. Some viewers who arrived early were originally wishing each other a happy new year on the public screen barrage, but when there was still less than an hour before the official start of the broadcast, the picture in the live broadcast room suddenly changed.
【? ? ? What's going on? The show started early? ? 】
The audience who had been waiting in the live broadcast room in advance saw the original black screen being cut off and replaced by a notice poster - a list of prohibited foods for athletes while going out/returning home.
…
…………
_(:3)∠)_
What do you mean?
Isn’t today the live broadcast of the track and field team’s New Year’s Eve dinner? Why did you release the banned food list first?
However, after a brief moment of confusion, the audience quickly turned their attention to this banned food list.
Originally, although ordinary people, foodies and track and field enthusiasts all know that athletes do not have as much freedom in diet as ordinary people, if they look deeper, most people do not know the extent of the dietary restrictions on athletes.
At this moment, the audience who had been waiting in advance, after scanning all the foods on the prohibited list one by one, leaned back like old people in the subway looking at their phones.
[Oh shit, what the hell?] Lotus seeds can’t be eaten? Aren’t lotus seeds a good thing? Lotus seed and lily soup, lotus seed and white fungus soup, these are all nutritious foods, right? 】
[I was confused just now, and then I checked it out, and lotus seeds are really not allowed... I think they contain steroids or something? I don’t understand what’s going on…]
[Oh my god, I can’t eat pork, beef, or mutton? Then what to eat? Oh...it seems like chicken is still edible? 】
[Isn’t that right?] I've seen in many reports that athletes often eat steak, right? I know about pork. In order to prevent the pork from having residues of clenbuterol, it cannot pass the doping inspection. But why is beef now treated the same as pork? 】
[…Actually, it’s not that you can’t eat beef, but you can’t eat it when you’re at home or out. The main reason is that you can’t be sure whether the meat purchased outside is safe. It’s different in the national team. The national team has its own special food supplier, so there is actually no problem eating it in the national team. 】
This advance release of the 'List of Prohibited Foods for Athletes' notice quickly sparked a lot of discussion and topics in the live broadcast room after it appeared.
Soon, someone took a screenshot of this scene and posted it on Weibo, and then tagged it with #List of prohibited foods for track and field athletes#.
Weibo is currently discussing the program list for today's Spring Festival Gala, and the entire Weibo is filled with a lively and festive atmosphere. However, the topic of the list of prohibited foods for track and field athletes has soared up the hot search list thanks to its eye-catching content and the fact that it is hot enough to attract people from all walks of life to join in the discussion.
At first, the gossipers on the Internet thought the rising trend of this topic was a bit strange. However, when they took a closer look at the word "track and field" in front, they immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment - in the past two years, the topic of track and field teams has soared too many times, and the gossipers have become accustomed to it.
Besides, today's topic is really interesting.
【_(:3)∠】_Awesome! Once this list comes out, what else can the big guys of the track and field team eat? 】
[I used to think that the members of the track and field team over-glorified the dishes cooked by Su Bai, but... now looking at this list, I suddenly understand a little bit. The dishes cooked by Su Bai have been certified by several well-known gourmets. The athletes of the track and field team are told not to eat this or that every day, and suddenly there is someone like Su Bai who cooks such delicious dishes... the kids next door must be crying with envy! 】
[Upstairs, Chef Jin Manjiang, the head chef of the national track and field team, is a national top chef. Do you want to know more about him? 】
Many people had already gathered online waiting to gossip about the Spring Festival Gala. Now that this unique hot topic had emerged, and it was still a long time before the Spring Festival Gala, bored people and those who just wanted to watch the show quickly gathered under this topic and started discussing it.
Some people said that athletes cannot eat this or that, which is really not easy. Some people also started to list menus and discuss what athletes can eat when they go out or return.
[No beef in the beef burger, no beef or lung slices in the Fuqi Slices, no shredded pork in the Fish-flavored Pork… ? 】
Some people also enthusiastically made a 'Best List for Treating Athlete Friends'.
[=w= When a friend came to my house, I enthusiastically took out my x-beef drink, melon seeds, figs and other fried food that are essential for the Chinese New Year. It is a gossip etiquette to eat melon seeds while chatting. In order to ensure that my athlete friends do not go hungry while gossiping, there must be braised food on the living room table. In order to show respect for my athlete friends, of course, the fruits at home must be served. The sugar apples I just bought at home look very suitable, they are expensive and rare... I invited my friends to have dinner. Hot pot is the best for Chinese New Year. Pork, beef and mutton are indispensable, and some barbecue is also ordered...]
[……!] The friend above is so toxic, extremely toxic. Among this bunch of food, don’t you even leave a single edible bite for others? 】
Some people have given this 'cruel' list, and of course some have summarized a list of what athletes can eat, but after comparison, it looks particularly bleak.
——【To be honest, it’s really not easy for athletes. Not only is the training hard and the competition stressful, but they don’t even have much freedom over what to eat…】
Although everyone was joking, they were also seriously expressing their feelings about how difficult it is to be an athlete. Not long after, not only was the track and field team's banned food list released, but bored bystanders on the internet also released the dietary taboos of a series of teams such as diving, volleyball, table tennis, football, etc.
To sum up, everyone has their own suffering.
For example, the girls on the diving team not only need to consume a lot of physical energy during training, but their figures cannot have any flaws or distortions. Some of the players were even found to only eat one meal a day in order to maintain their figure.
As the discussion of this topic became more and more heated on the Internet, the number of gossiping passers-by who came to the New Year's Eve dinner live broadcast room of the "Training Camp" to observe the prohibited food list soared, so that there was still some time before the meal officially started, and the number of online people in the live broadcast room directly exceeded the limit, even exceeding the number of people they had originally expected during the peak period.
_(:3)∠)_?
Other variety show teams also organized dinner live broadcasts and invited big celebrities to have dinner together. However, before the meal even started, all the hot topics and traffic went to the "training camp".
Looking at the #Track and Field Athletes Prohibited Food List# tag that was directly pushed to the top ten, other program crews looked at the hot search topics they bought with their own money in tears. Although the number of discussions was not low, most of the comments were controlled by fans of the invited celebrities, and they couldn't help but shed tears.
The Track and Field Idol Training Camp production team... this annoying production team is really too much!
In the kitchen, Su Bai certainly didn't know what was happening on the Internet at the moment. He was still busy in the kitchen. There were many people having dinner tonight, and the dishes were many and in large quantities. Su Bai and Jin Manjiang, the two chefs, were actually too busy to handle the food even though they had a group of helpers at their disposal.
Finally, at 5:30 in the evening, the coaches of the national team, the leaders of the track and field management center, and of course the athletes who stayed in the country for winter training, all came to the restaurant together. The whole restaurant was decorated with red and prosperous atmosphere. The training base of the track and field team was outside the scope of the ban on fireworks and firecrackers. Before the meal started, several strings of firecrackers were lit outside in a very lively atmosphere.
As the crackling sound rang out, everyone in the restaurant listened to the sound of firecrackers outside and looked at the snowflakes fluttering down under the light outside. Everyone sat together in a lively atmosphere. In addition, on the live broadcast screen on the scene, the cloud-connected images of the athletes' hometowns had been divided into dozens of images. In each different image, there were tables of sumptuous dinners and happy smiles gathered together.
Suddenly, the athletes who were originally immersed in winter training quickly felt the atmosphere of the New Year.
The audience squatting in the live broadcast room watched the athletes laughing and jokingly "meeting" with their families online. When young players like Lu Xiaolu met with their families online, the elders and relatives at home felt sorry for the little girl who had to train hard outside at such a young age, so every elder sent Lu Xiaolu a big red envelope remotely.
There are those who are loved like Lu Xiaolu, and of course there are those who are "disdained" like Zhang Jiale.
"Son, look, grandpa, grandma, grandpa and grandpa, as well as your mom and me, it's great for us to celebrate the New Year together as a family. Don't miss your family too much. They won't miss you either..."
…
…………
Zhang Jiale has been trained in this period of time. He calmly picked up the steamed fish in front of him with chopsticks without any expression, indicating that he didn't really want to listen to his father.
Look, look, is this still human language?
What do you mean by 'we are all together'... =. =What this means is that Zhang Jiale is no longer a member of the Zhang family?
Angry and furious!
In order to "punish" his father for his wrong choice of words, Zhang Jiale decided to leave his father alone for ten days or half a month, and he must make his parents realize their mistakes!
After the dinner started, the food prepared in advance was delivered to each table in a stream. There was soft and tender casserole stewed beef brisket, fresh and fragrant garlic shrimps, a big bowl of milky and fragrant tofu and fish head soup, crispy roast duck and duck bone soup...
Take a bite of the crispy roast duck wrapped in dough, coated with Su Bai's special sauce, and served with shredded side dishes. The rich and tender texture and the fragrant aroma make you feel as if you are rich and satisfied.
If you feel tired of the crispy roast duck in your mouth, take a sip of the mellow and slightly peppery fish soup, and the refreshing feeling is... simply amazing!
There must be staple food on the table, and there are all kinds of staple food for you to choose from, dumplings with various fillings, delicious fried rice, colorful noodles kneaded with various vegetable juices. Whether you are a rice lover, noodle lover, dumpling lover, there is even beef pancakes.
In the restaurant, the athletes were eating with their mouths drooling and their eyes shining. There were also people like Qiu Wen, whose food looked so delicious that he could be a food broadcaster. Watching him eat, you almost wanted to snatch his food from his hands and put it into your own mouth.
In the New Year's Eve dinner live broadcast room of "Training Camp", after the New Year's Eve dinner officially began, a large number of viewers flocked to the live broadcast room because of the hot topics on Weibo, and they were greeted by such a critical scene as soon as they entered the room.
?
? ? ?
It was said that the athletes of the track and field team would be so miserable that they couldn’t eat anything?
What's the matter with that abalone stewed chicken?
There seems to be sea cucumber stewed with turtle, which looks very nutritious!
The point is, they all look delicious...
Perhaps because Qiu Wen's food tasted so good, the director especially liked to cut the camera to the position where Qiu Wen was focused. The audience in the live broadcast room watched Qiu Wen eat with such happiness on his face that tears flowed from the corners of his mouth at that moment...
[qaq...I was wrong, why should I watch this live broadcast? 】
[…I was wrong too. Looking at that table full of dishes and Erha’s eating show, my heart is broken. My New Year’s Eve dinner today was not bad at all! But why does the food in the live broadcast look so delicious? 】
[The program crew is despicable!] I have never seen a live broadcast using this kind of 4K high-definition camera. It seems like they want to put the color, aroma and taste of the food in front of us... My heart aches, I want to click the cross to exit, but I can't bear to leave...】
[…I’m sorry, I shouldn’t feel bad for the track and field team members, I…I don’t deserve it qvq]
Neither the program crew nor the track and field team had expected that this ordinary live broadcast of the New Year's Eve dinner would attract so much attention. Related topics such as "It's Not Easy for Athletes" also made more people understand more deeply the difficulties faced by athletes.
——Well, if the track and field team’s New Year’s Eve dinner wasn’t so good, perhaps the shock education effect would be better?
However, in short, with the end of the New Year’s Eve dinner live broadcast and the Lunar New Year, winter training is gradually coming to an end, and the track and field team has also begun to prepare for the acceptance of the results of winter training.
After all, the winter training is over, and after a short indoor competition, the countdown to the final sprint for the Olympic quota has begun!
