Chapter 243 You don't think that I came here just to eat, right?
"Brother Rui, are the things I asked you to prepare ready?"

"Don't worry, I have prepared everything you asked me to prepare. However, I haven't bought most of the equipment you asked me to buy the day before yesterday."

"It's okay. There's no rush now. Besides, those things are hard to buy. Just take your time looking for them."

"."

Huang Xu and Zhang Rui each pushed a luggage cart and walked towards the parking lot while chatting.

Zhang Rui, who had just picked up Sunny and the other two, got out of the car after they got in, said something to the three of them, and went straight to the airport to look for Huang Xu.

When he came over, Huang Xu was worrying about how to get so much luggage out.

As a result, Huang Xu received a call from Zhang Rui and was overjoyed. Then the two of them met up and each pushed a luggage cart and walked outside.

During this process, Huang Xu naturally asked about the current situation of the things he had arranged for Zhang Rui to do a few days ago.

Although Zhang Rui did not buy all the equipment that Huang Xu had arranged for him to buy yesterday, he did not feel surprised.

After all, the equipment he needed was indeed difficult to buy and could not be purchased in ordinary shopping malls.

There are even some things that you need to buy from the production company.

There was no way around it, since he asked Zhang Rui to buy some equipment needed for videography, and some of them were relatively scarce nowadays.

But just as the two were about to reach the parking lot, Huang Xu suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Brother Rui, how are you and sister-in-law doing now? How far has it progressed?"

"Hehe, it's OK. I plan to go to her house on August 15th and meet her parents."

"Congratulations, Rui Ge. It looks like it won't be long before I can drink your wedding wine."

"Then I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met her and come this far."

As Zhang Rui spoke, his eyes revealed gratitude as he looked at Huang Xu.

Half a year ago, he was just an ordinary college graduate, working in the most common insurance sales job, struggling to make ends meet.

However, now, only half a year has passed, and he has undergone earth-shaking changes.

He had a high salary provided by Huang Xu, a beautiful girlfriend, and was ready to meet his parents.

Almost all these changes are due to Huang Xu.

Huang Xu naturally felt the look in Zhang Rui's eyes, so he quickly spoke.

"Brother Rui, this is what you deserve. Without your hard work over the past few months, the pickled fish chain wouldn't be as popular as it is now."

"That was your idea, I just executed it."

Zhang Rui obviously did not agree with what Huang Xu said.

In his opinion, the sauerkraut fish chain store business could be accomplished with or without Huang Xu, and all the things he did were done under the guidance of Huang Xu.

Huang Xu felt a headache when he saw Zhang Rui's humble appearance, and then he could only shake his head helplessly.

"Okay, you can say whatever you want."

"By the way, when is the right time for me to meet my sister-in-law? You've been dating for a few months, shouldn't my sister-in-law recognize you?"

"We can do both. It just depends on when it's convenient for you."

Zhang Rui didn't have any objection to this matter, but when he thought about what Huang Xu had said when he came to him to complain a few days ago, that he would be very busy in the next few months, he looked directly at the other party.

At this time, Huang Xu also remembered his next arrangements and suddenly started to have a headache.

"Um~~, how about waiting until the weekend, buying a plane ticket for sister-in-law, and traveling together?"

"No problem, but why don't you discuss the identities of those two with them in advance?"

"Then let's wait a little longer."

Hearing Zhang Rui's question, Huang Xu also remembered the identity issues of Sunny and the others, so he could only look at Zhang Rui with an apologetic look.

"Wait for me to communicate with them, and then tell my sister-in-law."

"No problem, but Xiaoxu, what do you think now?"

Zhang Rui saw Huang Xu's reaction and nodded in agreement with Huang Xu's proposal, but then he remembered another thing, so he asked Huang Xu again:
Huang Xu was thinking about how to tell this matter to Sunny and Goo Hara, when he suddenly heard Zhang Rui's question. He didn't react and looked at the other party in confusion.

"What are you thinking?"

"It's about the relationship between you and Sunny?"

"We are just boyfriend and girlfriend."

"What about the future? Will it always be like this?"

"I"

Huang Xu suddenly hesitated, obviously not knowing how to answer Zhang Rui's question.

In fact, he had thought about this issue a long time ago, but he ultimately couldn't make up his mind or make any decision.

In the end, he could only keep avoiding this issue.

Now being asked by Zhang Rui suddenly, he was once again conflicted.

Zhang Rui looked at Huang Xu's thoughtful expression and sighed softly.

In fact, he didn't really want to talk about this matter, but looking at the women around Huang Xu, or the increasing number of women, he became a little worried.

Especially when he saw Kim Taeyeon just now, he was worried about how Huang Xu would deal with their affairs next.

I was afraid that Huang Xu would not be able to handle these things in the end, so I asked the questions just now.

As Huang Xu began to think, the two of them fell silent. It was not until they reached the side of the vehicle that Zhang Rui reminded Huang Xu and he came to his senses.

After the two of them moved the suitcases into the car, they sat in the driver and co-pilot seats respectively. Huang Xu took the tissue handed over by Goo Hara, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked the three of them.

"Are you guys going to the hotel first? Or should we just go find a place to eat first?"

"Go eat first."

After hearing Huang Xu's question, Kim Taeyeon expressed her opinion first without waiting for Sunny and Goo Hara to react.

She had been waiting for this meal for a long time.

Sunny has been brainwashing her since the day before yesterday, telling her how delicious the food here is.

Then he encouraged himself to take two days off and come to China to taste it with Huang Xu.

That's why I ended up at the airport today and followed them here.

And just now on the plane, Sunny even took Goo Hara aside and talked about where to eat and where to go after getting off the plane.

Therefore, after hearing Huang Xu's question, he directly expressed his intention to go eat first and started ordering food.

"I want to eat roast goose, I want to eat roast pigeon, I want to eat."

"Well, let's go eat first, Oppa. Taeyeon didn't eat anything on the plane just now, and she's been waiting for this meal!"

"Anyway, we've already rested for a long time on the plane, so let's have a good meal before going back to the hotel to rest."

Goo Hara looked at Kim Taeyeon's performance and also gave Huang Xu some suggestions.

Huang Xu looked at Kim Taeyeon, who was in a somewhat abnormal condition, and Goo Hara beside her, then nodded and said.

"Okay, let's go eat first."

Then he took out his cell phone and said to Zhang Rui.

"Come on, Rui Ge, let's go eat first. They are all starving."

"Let me see which store in Li Garden has private rooms. We'll go directly to a store that has private rooms later."

"I'm fine with that. You can contact me. But it might be hard to find him at this time."

Zhang Rui naturally would not object to Huang Xu's proposal. Not to mention his task these days, which was to accompany Huang Xu and his friends and serve as their driver and assistant, he had heard of the Li Garden restaurant a long time ago and wanted to try it.

Now that he has entered the catering industry, he naturally wants to see Li Yuan, the Huangpu Military Academy of Cantonese cuisine, a very famous restaurant in this southern region.

However, the food there is relatively expensive, so he has never been willing to try it.

Now that Huang Xu is leading the team, I can also have a good taste and see what their level is.

But he was a little hesitant now. If he called now, would he be able to find a private room?

Just as he guessed, Huang Xu made several phone calls in a row, but there were no private rooms in the store there.

Li Garden is one of the most famous restaurants in Guangzhou. Its decoration and atmosphere are extremely suitable for business reception. The private rooms are almost in short supply and need to be booked in advance.

But I don’t know if Huang Xu was lucky, but when he was about to give up, he actually found a restaurant with a vacant private room. So after telling Zhang Rui the location, he said to Kim Taeyeon who was behind him and had been staring at him.

"Taeyeon, you're so lucky. You can even book a private room at Lee Garden at this time."

"Liyuan? Is this the name of the hotel?"

"Yes, that's the name of the restaurant. Their Cantonese cuisine is very authentic and tastes top-notch."

"Wow! Looks like I'm lucky."

After listening to Huang Xu's words, Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration, but then she looked at Sunny next to her.

"Sunny, have you ever eaten at this restaurant? Is it delicious?"

"Of course we have been here, the food is really good, especially their soup, which I still can't forget."

"Really? Can it be better than Huang Xu's stew?"

When Kim Taeyeon heard what Sunny said, she suddenly became a little unconvinced.

In her opinion, the soup stewed by Huang Xu was the most delicious one she had ever tasted. If it was even more delicious than the one stewed by Huang Xu, what would it taste like?

When Huang Xu heard what Kim Taeyeon said, he suddenly felt embarrassed.

There was no way. Who asked Kim Taeyeon to compare her cooking skills with those professional chefs from Liyuan? This made Huang Xu feel a little ashamed.

He is very self-aware. Although his cooking skills are good, they are just at the average level. At most, he can be compared with the chefs of some small restaurants.

If it were in Korea, where various cooking methods are relatively simple, Huang Xu would still dare to show off his cooking skills.

But this is China, and we are in Guangzhou, the capital of food. And the place we are going to is also the legendary ceiling of Cantonese cuisine.

He didn't have the confidence to compare his cooking skills with the people here.

Fortunately, just when he felt shy and wanted to explain it to Kim Taeyeon, Goo Hara, who was sitting next to Kim Taeyeon, spoke up.

"Ouni, the food here is really delicious. Although I like Oppa's cooking, it is still a little different from the place we went to."

"Is it true? Is it that delicious?"

Although Kim Taeyeon was a little bit unbelieving, she began to believe it a little bit when she saw Huang Xu who had turned his head away and remained silent, as well as the sincere looks of the two people beside him.

But she really couldn't imagine how delicious the next meal would be.

She has been in the industry for several years and has seen a lot.

Although she cannot enjoy many delicacies to her heart's content due to her job, it does not mean that she eats less.

She has basically tried all kinds of Korean delicacies, big and small.

Kim Taeyeon has also visited many Michelin restaurants in Japan.

However, there are not many restaurants that can cook better than Huang Xu’s. At most, their ingredients are just better.

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon who was still a little unconvinced, and felt helpless.

In fact, before she came here and tasted those delicious foods with Huang Xu, she was a little bit unbelieving.

In the past, she believed that Korean food was the best in the world, it was just less famous.

But after tasting it a few times with Huang Xu, she realized that she was a little narrow-minded before.

So she looked at Kim Taeyeon, who looked exactly like herself before, and said.

"Taeyeon, you'll know in a moment. Today's meal will definitely surpass your cognition."

“Then I’ll really savor it.”

As Kim Taeyeon listened to Sunny's words, her inner anticipation was completely aroused by the delicious food that was to follow.

It then took the group more than an hour to drive out of the evening rush hour traffic in Guangzhou and arrive at today's destination.

After getting off the car, Kim Taeyeon looked at the cars parked in front of the store and the bustling hotel lobby, and her mouth widened.

After following Huang Xu into the store, looking at the colors of the food on the table and smelling the complex aroma, her stomach couldn't help but make a "gurgling" sound, and at the same time she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“It smells so good, and the food is so pretty.”

"Hey, I've learned something new."

"Ok!"

Listening to Sunny's teasing, Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Sunny looked at Kim Taeyeon who was looking around with an inexperienced look, and a smug smile appeared on her face.

"Don't worry, you'll be able to eat these later."

After several people followed the waiter into the private room, Huang Xu ordered some of Li Garden's signature dishes with ease, and then took out his camera in front of Kim Taeyeon's surprised gaze.

At this time, Zhang Rui also took out a fill light and a reflector from his backpack.

Kim Taeyeon looked at Huang Xu and Zhang Rui's operations, appearing very curious and puzzled.

"Huang Xu, what are you doing?"

"Filming? Don't you recognize these equipment?"

"I definitely know these, but aren't we eating now? Why do you want these out?"

"We're just filming because we're eating!"

Huang Xu adjusted the camera parameters while responding to Kim Taeyeon's questions.

He came back this time with a mission, which was to come and check out the location before recording Tara and others' show.

As for why he took out his camera and Zhang Rui also took out a fill light and a reflector, that requires mentioning another matter.

After meeting Kim Tae-woo a few days ago, he asked the four photographers from the company to shoot a video to show off their skills to him.

The resulting footage was really hard to describe in Huang Xu's opinion.

Not to mention that it can't be compared with those exquisite large-scale productions in my impression, it's not even as exquisite as some of the short video bloggers I've seen.

Although their finished products are quite presentable, they also conform to the mainstream aesthetic in the market today.

But Huang Xu was not satisfied with these, so he brought a camera and asked Zhang Rui to buy various equipment.

Just prepare to shoot a few finished videos yourself, record various lens languages ​​and parameters, and then let them imitate your own video shooting.

Although he had never played these in his previous life, he had watched them many times and knew what kind of videos and pictures the audience liked to watch.

And although there are no filter templates for various equipment nowadays, to put it bluntly, those filter templates are just to adjust the aperture, shutter, sensitivity, white balance and so on.

You just need to adjust it slowly and you will be able to find the right parameters.

However, Huang Xu did not explain too much to Kim Taeyeon, but just looked at her who was still confused and asked.

"Taeyeon, you don't think that I came here just to eat, do you?"
