Chapter 267 A chance encounter at the night market
Chen An had only heard of Taipei City.

This was the first time he had heard of Tainan City.

I never imagined that these skyscrapers belonged to Taiwan, once one of the four Asian tigers.

Even in the urban area, there are many small three- or four-story buildings.

However, the night market is indeed more developed at night.

The long street is lined with food stalls, crowded with people, brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Some street food that often appears in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies are included.

"Sir, yours is ready. Eat it while it's hot."

The owner of the deep-sea abalone balls stall handed the item to Chen An and said enthusiastically.

Chen An took the item and handed the money to the other party. The stall owner took the big bills and put them into the bag he was wearing, then gave Chen An a few bills in change.

"Boss, I just got here today. Can you recommend anything delicious here? Huhu~" Chen An took the money, picked up a meatball with a toothpick and put it in his mouth. It felt a little hot.

"Sir, blow on it before you eat. There are a lot of food here. You can find what you want to eat by just walking around. Don't worry."

The stall owner had a bald head and wore a turban. He was burly and looked fierce, but his voice was soft and sticky. Chen An was a little uncomfortable with it.

"That's right, sir. Our oyster omelet is also very good. Would you like to try it?" The female owner of the stall next to her also enthusiastically solicited customers.

Chen An, enjoying the delicious juicy meatballs, smelled the fragrant aroma from the other stall, nodded and walked over.

Holding the meatballs in one hand, he kept pointing with the other hand, "I want one of this, one of that, and this. They should all be good, right?"

"Don't worry, I've opened this stall for more than ten years, and everyone says the food is delicious." Seeing that Chen An was so generous and ordered so much, he introduced it more enthusiastically.

"Well, let me try your cooking today. If it's delicious, I'll help you promote it to the mainland. Over a billion people will come to eat it."

"Hahaha, sir, you are really good at talking. If more than a billion people come to eat here, I will be exhausted. The stall will be packed with people."

When the female stall owner heard what Chen An said, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

"By the way, sir, can you handle spicy food? Would you like some?"

"Make two portions of each, one with spicy sauce and one without."

Chen An likes spicy food, but Zhao Xiong doesn’t like it very much so he doesn’t put it in.

After a while, a fragrant smell wafted from the stall, which made Chen An very hungry. He ate all the meatballs in one go.

"Director Chen!"

Just then, when Chen An was waiting to eat, a voice suddenly came from behind.

Following the sound, I looked back and saw two people standing not far away and rushing towards here.

"Xia Yu? Qin Hailu?"

Looking at the two people walking over, Chen An asked puzzledly.

The two of them spoke happily when they heard Chen An say their names.

"That's right. I didn't expect to meet Director Chen here. It's really fate."

"I'm so happy. I didn't expect Director Chen to recognize us."

Chen An didn't expect to meet these two people here, but he still smiled and said, "How can I not know the youngest Venice Film Festival winner? Besides, I have mentioned Zeng Li and you many times before."

Of course I knew Xia Yu, and I still had some impression of Qin Hailu. He and I also participated in the interview for "My Sassy Girl" at that time.

"It's all luck. Director Chen, you must be joking. I didn't even know what the award was when I won it." Xia Yu shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

He was actually confused about winning this award. It was his first time making a movie, so he didn't care much about it when he won it. It was not until he joined the Central Academy of Drama that he knew what this award meant.

Qin Hailu said happily: "Li Zi also talked to me about Director Chen a lot at that time."

At this moment, the stall owner packed up the goods and said, "Sir, it's a coincidence that your friends are here and the goods are ready."

Chen An also turned around, took out the money and handed it to the other party. The female stall owner happily accepted it and handed the things over. Chen An took the things and asked the two people with the food in his hand: "When did you come? Do you want to eat together?"

The two of them immediately shook their heads like rattles and said, "No need, we had already finished eating and were about to leave when we just happened to run into you, Director Chen."

Seeing that others were unwilling, Chen An would not force them, since they were not buying it anyway.

"Are you two here to participate in the Golden Horse Awards as well?" Chen An asked as he handed some things to Zhao Xiong.

The female stall owner didn't know there were other options besides oyster omelets, so Chen An took out the fried buns and started eating them.

Qin Hailu nodded and said, "We came here together to attend the award ceremony."

This girl did not follow the same path as Zeng Li today. She delved into art films and dramas and participated in major award ceremonies.

Her debut work "Durian Piaopiao" demonstrated her profound artistic skills and was nominated for the Best Actress in Venice.

Not only did she win the Best Newcomer Award at the 01 Golden Horse Awards, she also won the Best Actress Award!
So it was not surprising for Chen An to hear that the other party was invited to attend the award ceremony.

Chen An nodded while biting a bun, "You're doing pretty well, much better than Zeng Li. I should have chosen you as the heroine earlier."

"Hahaha, Director Chen, you really know how to joke." Qin Hailu laughed, covering his mouth.

Of course I knew Chen An was joking, but I was still very happy.

At the beginning, she took Zeng Li to the interview with great enthusiasm, but in the end she was not selected while Zeng Li was selected. However, she is still very happy that her sister is doing so well now.

"Are you two still shopping? I plan to continue shopping and find something to eat." Chen An, who had finished eating the fried buns, looked at the two and said.

"No, let's go back first." Xia Yu waved his hand to indicate that he didn't want to go shopping anymore.

Qin Hailu also nodded.

Chen An didn't force it, "Goodbye, I'll continue shopping." After saying that, he waved his hand and turned away with Zhao Xiong.

It was already evening when I landed after taking the plane. I hadn’t had lunch or dinner, so I had to eat a full midnight snack all at once.

After Chen An left, the two rushed back to the hotel.

"I didn't expect that Director Chen is just like what Li Zi said, he is really easy to talk to." Qin Hailu said with a smile in the night breeze.

Xia Yu also nodded, "Yes, he looked very happy strolling around the night market, eating non-stop." Thinking back to when he was filming "Sunny Days", the equally famous director Jiang Wen was not as easy-going as Chen An.

"It's a pity that Li Zi didn't come, otherwise we could have gone shopping together. Director Chen is here too."

Qin Hailu also thought that the night market in Taiwan was quite interesting, and it would be nice to go shopping there with him.

Chen An decided to go back because he couldn't eat any more here.

I was holding a cup of bubble milk tea in my hand. I would take a sip from time to time and bite the elastic pearls. It was quite enjoyable.

It's quite interesting to chat with this group of Taiwanese people, who speak with accents.

Zhao Xiong also picked up some and brought them back to the people staying in the hotel.

The award ceremony is tomorrow, so I had a good time shopping tonight.

I feel good feeling in the evening breeze.

Go back to the hotel and give things to some people who stayed in the hotel and didn't go out.

Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure and said cheerfully, "Hey, Mr. Ge is here."

Uncle Ge didn't look well. He was a little seasick after taking the boat all the way here, and he was swaying all the way and almost fell out.

"I shouldn't have come if I had known." Uncle Ge lay on the sofa with a weak look on his face.

"Why would you have taken such a long flight with me earlier? You are so depressed now."

Faced with a hopeless look, Chen An just watched with a smile.

Uncle Ge looked at the other person with a mean smile that looked like he deserved a beating, and didn't want to pay attention to him, so he turned his head away, looking uncomfortable.
When Sister Cong saw this, she quickly interrupted her husband and drove Chen An out.
