And positive respect for the village reputation and the local people. I’ve been in Chinese restaurants filled with local Chinese where loud talking is part of the ambiance. Maybe it’s the click bait video title and they did not even watch the video. My take? Just keep being your freely loving life selves and don’t be intimidated. (It’s what people like)

    Typically restaurants are for people who want to eat, not film and document; so they probably wanted to prioritize customers who were going to do just that. In Japan where I'm from, they wouldn't kick you out, but normally people would make a phone call and notify a staff if it was okay to film a youtube video, then they usually prepare a nice secluded table for you that wouldn't interrupt other customers. It's just an etiquette thing.

Don't film in restaurants, it's very inconsiderate towards other people who just want to eat and enjoy themselves

    I had the fortunate opportunity to live in China roughly a decade ago for an extended period of time. I routinely traveled the eastern half of the country from Liaoning in the north to Guangdong in the south and most points between. As such I not only experienced about 12 different language dialects but also 12 different cooking styles (probably far more than 12 of both). I ate at high-end restaurants in private dining rooms and in local kitchens 5 blocks off the main drag. I loved everything but one dish stood out for me. I can't remember the city or the company that was hosting me but the Chef was introduced to me and I to the Chef. The city was roughly 100 to 200 km north of Shanghai. The Chef told me (via interpreter) that most regions in China had a special dish and that he would be presenting me theirs. This dish would be the last dish of the 10 or 12 course dinner. The meal was fantastic and then the special dish was delivered with great fanfare. The local name of the dish escapes me but it was deep fried battered pork belly bites with a dark sweet and sour sauce ... basically sweet and sour boneless pork ... and I knew I was home (as I chuckled to myself). Cheers.

    That was hilarious! lol I hope you two didn't take it too personally. The opening scene sounds like the owner/grandma was worried that other customer wouldn't be comfortable to come in becoz you were filming inside (as other people pointed out). Judging from their accents, most likely they don't know how to be polite in Mandarin, which came off as "kicking people out." But I don't think the grandma was being harsh on you too--especially how she put her hand on Jasmine's shoulder--to me, a cantonese dude, that gesture indicates an attempt to get closer to you (her way to show politeness and ask for your understanding, perhaps).

    Happy 2022 Amy! Nice video as always! You know u r still the kindest person I've ever seen on CZcams! lol. No one has to explain anything for the owner. I know they just want you to feel better, or worry that you'd lose your good impression of this country, Guangdong or Shunde. Surely I don't believe you would since you're so smart, understanding and open minded. Regarding to the owner, she's just ignorant(Relatively I mean. Can be totally normal in some locals). I dont mean she's bad. She may well be the nicest and gentlest grandma and mother also. I guess she just simply fears the unknown. She didn't know what you were doing. And maybe other customers didn't either. You guys don't look like any TV news reporter though you were like taking footages. She might think "thats so weird. I bet others think so too. No wonder only one came in to sit after this. These two gotta go!". Some comments said it's about the portraiture right or spending too long inside. Nonsense really. Because she doesn't know anything about your right of staying there or any others' portraiture right. And one thing also, you guys can't speak cantonese. Jasmine is already foreign enough for the shop. And plus you? Come on, clearly the most one-time customer for them. They don't need any advertising. That's a WoM local business. Okay, to sum up, you guys are exploring really local places, which is amazing. But meanwhile you'll encounter some older generations in relatively closed or underdeveloped areas(believe me there're underdeveloped areas even in Shenzhen or Guangzhou). Mostly they're nice enough. But some just are sensitive and haven't seen much of this world. In that case, you can patiently explain that your work might benefit their business(if you manage to communicate, better talk to the younger ones). Or, you just offer to buy more and take away. :D

The northern food you have shown is somewhat foreign to her, so she mainly sticks to Hakka and Cantonese food.

    You can make ginger hit milk at home. You just need freshly sqeezed ginger juice (about 1-2 teaspoons for an average rice bowl) and milk. You heat the milk between 70-80 degrees Celsius and then pour it from a slight distance into the bowl with the ginger juice. Quickly stir it together a little and let it sit. Then it will solidify. Oh yes, If U want sweet flavour remember to add the sugar when U were heating the milk. Do not let milk boil tho. And HAPPY NEW YEAR!

    You have to ask for permission before you start filming. This is like the most basic courtesy. Also, you need to butter up the premise owner / staff. Maybe thats not the right word. What I usually say is that you have to befriend the locals. Maybe some small talk like the history etc. Ofc dont attempt to record the convo, maybe start with small talk off camera and once they've open up then maybe you can consider asking to redo for the camera (if you want to).
