結果,奶奶沒想到的事情發(fā)生了……
全美國各地第一、二、三代的移民們,都圍過來看32歲的Lisa拍的她和母親一起做中國菜了。
林奶奶一下子變成了ins上的“網(wǎng)紅”。
或許她自己并沒有料到,女兒給她拍的做菜視頻,實在是太戳海外游子的心了:一個穿著圍裙的老奶奶,一邊做著好看又好吃的中國佳肴,一邊用家鄉(xiāng)話(臺山話)絮絮叨叨地拉家常……
As she cooks, she explains the recipe in Taishanese, the dialect she grew up speaking in Taishan, a city in south China’s coastal Guangdong province. Lisa leans over her mother’s shoulder, recording the video on her phone.
林奶奶一邊做飯,一邊用臺山話解釋著菜譜。臺山是中國南部沿海廣東省的一座城市,她就在那里長大。女兒Lisa倚在母親肩上,用手機錄下了這段視頻。
“I asked my mom how much rice is in here, and she said seven cups,” Lisa translates. “But she apparently used this cup to measure it.”
“我問媽媽這里面有多少米飯,她說有七杯。”Lisa在視頻里翻譯道。“顯然,她是用杯子來測量的。”

“用杯子盛米”這種小細節(jié),或許會讓從小在美國生長的移民二代三代們感到茫然。
但對于他們懷揣著中國記憶的長輩來說,卻是一下子就戳到心坎兒了。
這樣的人間煙火氣息太過美好,就像自己記憶中遠在故鄉(xiāng)的奶奶。
黃皮膚的慈祥面孔,熟悉的家鄉(xiāng)菜,簡直太能撫慰人心了……
They watch Lan’s videos for a sense of belonging, a reminder of grandmothers still in China, dishes they have not eaten since childhood, recipes they never thought to learn before moving across the world.
他們通過看林奶奶的視頻來尋覓一種歸屬感,一種對遠在中國的祖母的牽掛。看著視頻,他們能想起那些童年后就沒再吃過的食物,以及在移居去世界各地之前從沒打算學的菜譜。
