Running from a high-rise metropolis to a green countryside, setting up an iron pot and cooking one local specialty food after another, this is the daily work and life of France Don Anno in the past six months.
Tang Anno is a France who has lived in China for 16 years. After the accident in his last job, Tang Annuo created a self-media account called "Nongjianuo" with his friends because of his love for Chinese characteristic food. In his account profile, he said, "I have a deep love for Chinese culture and food, especially special farmhouse dishes. I want to use my unique perspective to explore the beautiful countryside and challenge various farmhouse practices."
As a Chinese son-in-law, living in China for 16 years, it is too difficult to write Chinese characters
In 2008, as an exchange student, Tang Annuo crossed the ocean from France and came to the University of International Business and Economics to study for 3 years. In 2015, he married his girlfriend from his hometown in Chuxiong, Yunnan, and became a Chinese son-in-law. For work reasons, Tang moved from Beijing to Shanghai and then to Guangzhou, where the family has been living for four or five years.
"Actually, my France name is transliterated as Ayano, but my wife said that Chinese names have surnames, and if the surname 'A' looks like a child, so I have to take a new surname." Tang Annuo said that he discussed it with his lover over dinner at that time, "In the end, my lover proposed the surname 'Tang', and she said that the Tang Dynasty was one of the most prosperous dynasties in ancient China, and this surname has a good meaning." And I didn't have anyone with the surname Tang, which was very unique, so I decided to give my Chinese name 'Tang Annuo'."
Having lived in China for 16 years, Tang Anuo's tone is full of excitement and pride when he talks about his adopted hometown: "I love it so much! It's so convenient to live in China! For example, he said that whenever he wants to go to the barber shop to cut his hair, or go to the bank to do business, he doesn't need to make an appointment, he can do it whenever he wants, but in France, these things often need to be booked long in advance. Just like the last time I went back to France and went to the bank to open an account, which can be done on the same day in China, my bank in France has to make an appointment to five days later. ”
Mr. Tang said he was now well adapted to the pace of life in China, but in the past, the biggest challenge in living in China was learning Chinese. "I don't have a problem listening and speaking in Chinese, it's too difficult to read and write, and now I've been in China for a long time, and it's okay to read Chinese characters, but it's more difficult to 'write' them." Tang Annuo said with a smile, "Writing Chinese characters is like drawing pictures for me, I have failed to draw since I was a child, so it is too difficult to 'draw' a Chinese character!" ”
Today, the family lives in Guangzhou, which is completely different from his native France, "I like the warm climate in southern China, especially the short winters in Guangzhou, I like the warm winters." However, Tang Annuo bluntly said that the summer in Guangzhou every year makes him a little unbearable, "The summer in Guangzhou is too humid and hot!" It's not as comfortable as my wife's hometown of Yunnan."

In the 16 years he has lived in China, Tang Annuo's life can be described as colorful.
"The first job I got after graduating from university was selling France wine in China." Mr. Tang said that he used to travel a lot for work and visited many cities in China, "I have been to the south, north and east of China, and I have been to Luoyang several times." Tang Annuo said that in addition to his work reasons to Luoyang, when his parents traveled to China, Tang Annuo had taken them to Luoyang, "My parents and I want to visit some culturally rich cities, so we chose to come to Luoyang, Longmen Grottoes, White Horse Temple These attractions we have seen, but this is more than ten years ago, the current Henan must be very different, I will definitely go around when I have the opportunity in the future."
Over the years, he has also been able to taste the unique traditional food of various parts of China, which he loves. This also made Tang Anuo, driven by his hobbies, and immediately decided to create a self-media account with his friends to explore rural cuisine across China.
Tang Annuo said that they did not choose the well-known food, but chose to visit the original niche taste in the countryside, and they are bound to make a different food account, "Now we mainly go to Guizhou to make local food, which is recommended by a friend of mine in Guizhou." Tang said that he rarely sees some authentic Guizhou restaurants in Guangzhou, so he wants to let more people know about Guizhou's local cuisine through his account.
Go down to the river to catch fish, set up a fire, cook fresh ingredients, prepare special dipping sauces, the France guy wearing a chef's costume and the landscape in the background are integrated, enjoy the completion process of one cuisine after another in the greenery, Guizhou boiled pot fish, Dongzhai sour soup fish, bean rice hot pot and other local dishes with local flavor, so through the hands of a France guy, the color and flavor are presented in front of the screen.
In addition to reproducing the original Guizhou cuisine, Tang Anuo also tried the innovative fusion of France cuisine and peasant cuisine. In his previous videos, Tang Annuo once sprinkled France foie gras with Guizhou dipping sauce full of folded ear roots, and invited his parents to taste it, and his parents exclaimed "What a wild taste!" after tasting it! Tang Annuo said that this dish is really delicious, it is the perfect combination of elegance and wildness, "This fried ear root foie gras, whoever eats it will be the best!" ”

Today, Tang often travels to Guizhou to shoot videos, and his self-media account has been operating since March this year and now has nearly 60,000 followers.
Tang Annuo said that more than half of his fans are people with IP addresses in Guizhou, and these netizens said that they are very happy to see the food in their hometown being promoted by bloggers, and many netizens with IP addresses from other provinces have posted food photos in the comment area, enthusiastically promoting the food of their hometown, and sincerely invited Tang Annuo to come and taste it.
Tang Anuo says he enjoys his work and life at the moment: "We can now make and taste food from different places, and at the same time shoot interesting videos to share, which is so interesting!" ”
Tang Annuo said that now his self-media account operation has gradually entered the right track, and the account with less than 60,000 followers has been realized, in addition, he has also gained the attention of the media and government agencies for promoting Guizhou food, "I have been invited to CCTV's "Focus Interview", and the local brand in Guizhou invited me to make a film, all of which have gained attention because I promoted Guizhou's food culture."
For the future plans, Tang Annuo said that shooting Guizhou food videos is only a branch of the plan at this stage, and their ultimate goal is to shoot the entire rural cuisine with Chinese characteristics and explore the Chinese countryside on the tip of the tongue, he said: "We will go to Henan when we have the opportunity, the noodles and steamed buns made by my friends in Henan are so delicious, I will definitely go to Henan to shoot in the future and experience Henan's special noodles!"
