纪录片《中国春节》 第27期 团聚（5）

Sue's given us a list of hot pot ingredients to find in the market, lotus root, mushrooms and beef.

苏给了我们一张火锅料单到市场入货，莲藕，蘑菇还有牛肉

There are no stalls.

The trucks rock up, they sell their vegetables and they go home and that is how it works.

货车列阵，他们就这样卖菜。卖完回家，就是这样子做买卖

He's sold out.

Have you sold... Oh, good, very good.

你是卖完了吗…好，太棒了

Hello, how are you?

您好

I am very good, how are you?

我挺好，您呢

You know what? There is a really happy atmosphere here, isn't there? It's lush.

感觉到没，这里很喜庆，不是吗？应有尽有

Sue wants us to get lotus root.

Go on, Dave, get stuck in.

加油，戴夫，赶紧的

Right, I'll have three.

好的，我买三根

Now Dave calls this a hard-nosed paddling technique.

戴夫管这个叫“醒目手语”

How much?

多少钱

I call it handing over the dosh. No questions asked.

That's two quid I suppose. Not bad. Yeah.

There is one more item left to buy

还有最后一项

and that means heading deep into the heart of the market.

那得去市场的中心部位

This is Beijing's meat hangar.

这儿就是北京的肉铺

In the west we tend to design a meal around our choice of meat,

西方人常常是有什么肉做什么菜

but traditional Chinese cooks use meat more like a garnish³.

但传统的中国菜，肉更多地是一种配菜

There is such a lot of choice.

有这么多选择啊

Now, I know my beef, but finding the right cut for the recipe

找到牛肉了，可食谱上需要哪个部位呢

is not as easy as you think.

这就没你想的那么容易了

You'd have to recognise the joints⁴.

你必须认识各种部位
