Beauty director Guo Xiujia creates rattan paradise

The general director of CCTV Overseas Center successfully directed CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and CCTV New Year's Eve Gala (2005, 2008 and 2009) which were broadcast live to the whole world for five consecutive years. With a strong sense of visual art and aesthetic personal style, he pioneered the TV choreography of "Holographic Landscape Gala" and became one of the most powerful and quality directors of CCTV at present, winning the first prize and special prize of the National TV Literature and Art Award for many times.

The rattan wine cabinet at the door makes us full of curiosity and expectation for the kitchen. Ingredients such as walnuts, peanuts, peppers, tomatoes, etc. Guo, the hostess of the kitchen, asked the artist to draw a theme on the glass door, indicating that this is a paradise for food.

Pushing open the wooden fence door surrounded by all kinds of green plants, the winding path is at the foot, narrow and surrounded by different plants, and the fish in the fish pond are swimming happily. The pink crape myrtle in July, the white purple hibiscus in August, the red round hawthorn hanging on the hawthorn tree at 5438+00 in June, and the colorful small wildflowers everywhere are full of illusory beauty at first sight, which continues to the carved banana leaf wallpaper in the kitchen and the large pot of bouquets and evergreen plants at the door of the kitchen, and the tropical customs are coming. The rattan wine cabinet at the door makes us full of curiosity and expectation for the kitchen. Ingredients such as walnuts, peanuts, peppers, tomatoes, etc. Guo, the hostess of the kitchen, asked the artist to draw a theme on the glass door, indicating that this is a paradise for food. Because she has a special liking for all kinds of medicinal food, the kitchen is divided into two functional areas-the operation area and the dining room under the golden section of the special "medicinal food table". Against the backdrop of fern wallpaper and rattan tables and chairs, it presents a kind of nature and simplicity, so that urbanites living in bustling and noisy areas can naturally find spiritual comfort.

Residual salt bottle

Guo likes eating or drinking tea outdoors. With flowers and plants and all kinds of green plants, he can always find peace and comfort. The stump salt bottle placed on the outdoor dining wooden table by the pond can be confused with the real one, making you think it is a scaled stump. The mottled and winding rough texture on the cylindrical stump is vivid, and the annual rings are faintly visible. The hostess accidentally found it in a street shop in Australia and brought it back with her own environment, which became a bright spot in the beautiful scenery.

Medicinal food table

The most attractive thing is the Chinese medicine in the middle of the kitchen. All kinds of traditional Chinese medicines are packed in transparent bottles, large and small, and neatly stacked on the rattan frame on the third floor. There are angelica, dangshen, jujube, dark plum, longan, medlar, rhodiola and so on. They are all brought back from home, but they are also beautiful in the kitchen, and there is no intention. Guo, a native of northwest China, grew up under the influence of traditional culture. When I was young, I was thin and weak. In order to keep fit, the family will use Atractylodes macrocephala and yellow wine as a primer to let her drink a little every day. Gansu is also an important producing area and main producing area of Chinese herbal medicine, with advantages of long planting history, rich variety resources and large planting area. Angelica sinensis, Radix Codonopsis, Radix Astragali, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, and Radix Glycyrrhizae produced locally in Gansu are quite famous. From small to large, whether it is stewed chicken, hot pot, noodles or rice, different Chinese medicines will be put in time as seasonings to adjust dishes, which has benefited a lot and become the unique feature of Guo Health. Every time I smell the unique smell of angelica, I feel more cordial, as if I had returned to my hometown. Therefore, it has become the best scene for the female host to maintain health and relax.

Donkey carrying beans

It's not just those salt bottles that are interesting. Guo, who claims to be "very Chinese" at ordinary times, often squeezes soybean milk himself and must drink a cup for breakfast every day. She said, drink soybean milk in spring and autumn, nourish yin and moisten dryness, and reconcile yin and yang; Drink soybean milk in summer, relieve summer heat and heatstroke, promote fluid production and quench thirst; Drinking soybean milk in winter can dispel cold and warm stomach, nourish and strengthen. This delicious drink is commendable. And even a simple cup of soybean milk can be enjoyed by her. The clay donkey on the dining table carries two small bamboo baskets full of organic soybeans. One is ahead, still looking back, and the other is right behind. Guo also lovingly voiced an inverted donkey: "Wait for me, the soybeans are too heavy for me to keep up." The one in front smiled back. Life itself is colorful. See how you manage it. Guo is such a female directors who loves and enjoys life.

jiu gui

The wine cabinet in front of the kitchen itself is the rattan shape of a bottle of red wine. It is novel and environmentally friendly. Although there are only 40 bottles of wine, it is not advanced. You can be so careful with these wines. You can carefully customize such a special wine cabinet, which shows that the owner pays attention to details. Guo likes plum wine, osmanthus wine and aged yellow rice wine best. Because of the special preference for rattan products, it also reflects the owner's awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection and his feelings of pursuing natural trends and returning to nature.

dustpan

As we all know, dustpan is used to screen out empty shells or impurities in crops, which is exactly an agricultural tool. Traditional folk handmade bamboo and rattan products are gradually replaced by mechanical wood products and metal products, and this traditional manual technology is gradually forgotten. In Guo's kitchen, you can see these objects that seem to be far away from the vision of modern urbanites. The hostess can definitely be called the guardian of traditional handmade bamboo and rattan products. The dustpan was found in her hometown. Although it is cheap and made of bamboo and rattan, it has become an indispensable "right-hand man" in her daily life.

wall brick

Guo, who has a soft spot for home, fabric and food, never misses details when designing the kitchen. Wall tiles are Spanish handmade tiles, pure hand-shaped glaze, which looks nothing special, but if you look at the tiles carefully, you can also draw fruit basket patterns or seashore shells that meet the theme, which is full of pleasant relaxation. Colorful wall tiles, distinct soil texture and layering fully show the hostess's pursuit of nature and simplicity. Because of the working environment and the constraints of reinforced concrete, she is more eager for rural life. Even the wall tiles can find a feeling of freedom, nobility and splendor.

Steel art Teng table and chair

Because I have a special preference for rattan products in home decoration, I even put a set of wrought iron rattan tables and chairs on the balcony for breakfast and afternoon tea. Black wrought iron and light brown bamboo rattan are combined into one, all materials are rust-proof and anti-corrosive, and the surface coating is designed for outdoor use, which is quite durable, so even if it is placed outdoors, it is absolutely not afraid of the wind and the sun. The flowers on the rattan table are wild flowers that have just been picked from their own gardens. The hostess, who never buys flowers but prefers all kinds of wild flowers, will pick a handful of wild flowers and put them on the table every day at home, sitting on a cane chair with the breath of the field, reading, drinking tea and meditating, enjoying the refreshing breeze. Looking at my carefully cultivated small vegetable garden, I planted pepper trees, clove trees, persimmon trees, lemon trees and so on. I feel particularly relaxed and happy.

Steamer (usually made of bamboo)

The traditional steamer in China is also a great hero in the kitchen. Due to the northwest people's love for pasta, this simple and homely object has become a kitchen appliance with high utilization rate. Although these cheap items can't be associated with words such as luxury and nobility, they also reflect the pragmatism and simplicity of users on the other hand. A good thing can't be measured by money. As long as it is irreplaceable, it is priceless. Guo said that steaming can not only keep the original flavor of food, but also keep the integrity and tranquility of its shape and expression. When Sixi steamed dumplings or steamed buns are slowly steamed in the steamer, the smoke will disperse as soon as the lid is lifted, but when you see what has been cooked in the cage, a natural and kind smell will float out. That kind of feeling is definitely more appetizing than the metallic taste, and the pastoral feeling instantly runs through the whole kitchen life.
