Chapter 217: She Really Came to Dinner When I Invited Her
When Xuan Miaoqing participated in the singing competition, it was Su Yuchen who forced Zhao Xiaojing to watch it. She was particularly obsessed with Xuan Miaoqing's voice at the time, and she kept imitating her singing before and after class. Zhao Xiaojing was brought to watch it by her.
Although Su Yuchen likes many singers, today is her first time to meet her fans in such close proximity. Why doesn't she look too excited?
Zhao Xiaojing turned and walked towards the kitchen while looking for Su Yuchen. After looking around, she found Su Yuchen standing in the corner behind the photographer. His eyes were watery and he looked in the direction of Xuan Miaoqing without blinking, with his cell phone held high.
Zhao Xiaojing immediately noticed that she had cried secretly.
Well, this sister is too excited, I'm afraid she will be tense all the time.
Zhao Xiaojing originally wanted to say a few words to Su Yuchen, but seeing her state, she gave up the idea and went straight into the kitchen to start washing the pot.
"Junior sister, you cook these four dishes. I'll help you. I'm afraid if I don't perform well, I'll ruin the reputation of the restaurant."
Yun Yongyuan had been standing at the door of the kitchen just now. He knew everything that happened in the front hall. At this moment, he followed Zhao Xiaojing with a serious face.
"Okay." Zhao Xiaojing originally planned to cook it herself, but Yun Yongyuan said it first, so she agreed. "There's nothing I can help with. I'll prepare the dishes this morning. You can cut out the pork trotter rice and the side dishes."
Zhao Xiaojing said as she turned on the fire, heated the pan and added cold oil. After the pan was hot, she started adding the side dishes and stir-frying over high heat.
"Brother Yun, eight more servings of pork trotter rice!"
After a while, Su Yuchen went into the kitchen and saw Yun Yongyuan cutting pig's feet. He gave instructions in a light voice, turned around, took out plates and started serving rice, and placed three plates of small portions of rice on the workbench next to Zhao Xiaojing.
"How come you have time to come to the kitchen? Don't you want to watch it?" Zhao Xiaojing turned her head and teased Su Yuchen. At this moment, she had regained her usual calmness, with the corners of her mouth curved up.
"No need to watch. I'm waiting for my sister Qing to serve the food. Taking pictures from a distance of five meters is not as good as serving the food from a distance of five centimeters! They are chatting and interacting with a few guests now. I will go to take a group photo with them after they finish eating!"
Su Yuchen said with a happy face.
"Okay, I'll take a good picture for you later. Why are there eight servings of pork trotter rice again?"
"The crew let some onlookers in to capture the real atmosphere of people eating in the restaurant, so some people ordered food. Although there is only pork trotter rice now, people are not really here to eat, so they don't mind too much."
Zhao Xiaojing nodded, and quickly fried the pork liver. When she was about to serve it on the rice, she found that the amount of rice was one third less than the usual small portion. "Isn't the rice a little too little?"
"Hey, just serve yourself. You can always add more rice if it's not enough.
Believe me, I'll tell you the reason later!" Su Yuchen laughed happily.
Zhao Xiaojing scooped up the dish doubtfully, and then Su Yuchen went to the front hall with a plate of stir-fried pork liver with rice, a plate of pork trotters that Yun Yongyuan had just cut, and a platter of braised side dishes.
When they came back, Wu Kaile followed behind Su Yuchen. Su Yuchen fulfilled his wish to serve food to his idol's table, and couldn't hide his smile. He pointed to Yun Yongyuan and handed over the service of serving food to the remaining guests to Wu Kaile, while he stood next to Zhao Xiaojing and gossiped loudly.
"The reason why I served less rice is because I asked the big brother of the crew. Do you know that Sister Qing and the others have already eaten four meals, this is the fifth one!
How could they eat so much? If they were served too much, it would be a burden to them.
They had already eaten barbecue, fusion food, three-fresh bean curd, and Korean food.”
"Ah? Then why are you still eating?" Zhao Xiaojing was very puzzled. The hand holding the spoon flipped the pot out of the range of the flame out of inertia, and the other hand held the spoon to start scooping the seasoning.
"Because the process of their variety show is like this, it's the one called "Invite a Dinner Friend", have you heard of it?"
Zhao Xiaojing shook her head, and Su Yuchen patiently explained the situation.
It turns out that this is a food variety show with two permanent guests in each season. This time, the permanent guests are Dong Dongdong and Xuan Miaoqing.
The two of them are responsible for traveling around the country to find their local friends and have their friends treat them to local specialties.
Local friends are also known as flying guests. The flying guests of this episode of Jiangcheng are Wu Lesheng and Qin Zhichu. Qin Zhichu is a native of Jiangcheng, while Wu Lesheng's wife is from Jiangcheng and he spends half of the year in Jiangcheng.
But variety shows are not straightforward, of course, there must always be something interesting to watch.
Therefore, when the four guests meet, it is not as simple as inviting them to dinner. Instead, the flying guests give out keywords for food, and then the resident guests use the keywords to find restaurants. If they find the right restaurant, the flying guests will treat them to dinner, and the task is completed. If they find the wrong restaurant, the resident guests will treat them to dinner, and they will continue to eat until they find the right restaurant. If they can't find it, they will keep eating.
Every time the search fails, the flying guest will give one or two keywords again to increase the probability of the resident guests finding the right restaurant.
"No wonder! I mean why they seemed to be speaking in secret codes to me? I didn't understand what they were saying, so I just answered truthfully." Zhao Xiaojing finally understood what the four stars were doing, and she was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"So this is what Wu Lesheng meant when he pointed at his throat and told Dong Dongdong that I've reached this point. So he was full and the rice was stuck in his throat?" Zhao Xiaojing took the stir-fried beef out of the wok again, and the tempting aroma of the wok filled a plate of white rice.
"Xiao Wu, serve the food!" Su Yuchen waved at Wu Kaile who had just come in after collecting the plates.
"Sister Su, didn't you say you would do it yourself?" Wu Kaile tilted his head in confusion, and came over obediently to serve the food.
"Don't you like Wu Lesheng? I'll give you a chance. Go quickly and stop talking nonsense." Su Yuchen glared at Wu Kaile, trying to hide the real reason why he didn't want to interrupt him in the middle of gossiping.
"Also, do you know why Sister Qing is here?" Su Yuchen saw Wu Kaile bringing out the food, and turned to Zhao Xiaojing, who was skillfully washing the pot and adding oil to cook, and continued gossiping. "Because Sister Qing is famous for her love of eating and her ability to eat! After being labeled as a has-been singer for so many years, she has let herself go, never paying attention to body management, and doesn't have any celebrity idol baggage.
Other female celebrities have to consider the issue of body management when they are accepted for this kind of variety show. After all, they have to go to several cities for one season of the show, and eat for a few days in each city. They may have to eat for half a month in a row. It is possible that they cannot find a body even after eating five meals a day like today.
This kind of food variety show is all about food. Last season, a new star was invited. She had traffic, but she was also criticized by the audience for pretending to eat. It’s easy to invite flying guests, as they only eat for a day or two, but because of the incident in the previous season, it is very difficult to invite permanent guests this season.
That’s why I thought of my sister Qing, because when I asked her to come, she really came to eat.”
