I tried clicking the offered Translate button, and of course that did not work at all. I still liked the video, and was reminded of your record of cooking in upright large bamboo tubes. I will also say that the narrator person's voice was quite melodic and pleasing, unlike some of the Chinese I have heard. Unsurprisingly, not a single cognate in the whole thing.

 

Would @liuzhou be kind enough to tell us the dialect or whether that is common in China.

He is speaking putonghua 普通话, known in the West as Mandarin Chinese, the world's largest mother tongue. Estimates vary, but somewhere around 1.5 billion speakers is not out of line.
