There are many restaurants of all sizes near Hengdian World Studios.
As a supporting industry, business is very good.
It has even given rise to an area similar to a restaurant street, where restaurants of different styles are lined up together.
Zhang Yuan asked Zhao Xinxin to bring some mushrooms and old chickens, which are Yunnan's specialties, and followed him to a big restaurant.
Why are mushrooms delicious?
It mainly comes from the glutamic acid and aspartic acid in them. The higher the content, the more delicious it tastes.
However, many extremely delicious mushrooms are poisonous and need to be processed very carefully before they can be eaten.
This is why Zhang Yuan went to a big restaurant instead of a small one.
The chefs in big restaurants are more skilled and handle ingredients more carefully, so as not to waste any materials.
"Mushrooms must be cooked thoroughly, okay?" Zhang Yuan asked the waiter to call the chef over and gave specific instructions.
"I know. You are all big stars. I can't afford to compensate you if I make you sick." The chef replied with a smile, wearing a tall white hat.
"Don't worry, I'll watch over it myself."
After repeated explanations, Zhang Yuan finally felt relieved.
The dinner party was proposed by Sister Zeng Li.
But Zhang Yuan knew that this guy was a relatively serious person in the circle, and there was probably no special intention in inviting him to dinner.
So they didn't meet alone on purpose.
And the food was delicious. The two of them couldn't share it all, so they called Yang Mi, Huang Weimin and others to eat together.
We ordered a table full of dishes, most of which were local specialties. Everyone had eaten them a lot recently, so the response was average.
Only at the end.
"Ahahaha... here comes the chicken soup!"
The chef brought it over himself.
"Hey, eat, why aren't you eating?"
Yang Mi, the clever little guy, raised his head and said, "This can't be poisonous."
"You're such a joke." The chef waved his arms.
"I watched over it myself and cooked it for a long time."
"It's absolutely cooked through, no problem at all."
"Come on, don't panic." Zhang Yuan stood up, took the soup spoon, and poured himself a bowl: "I'll test the poison first, it should be okay."
"Eat it while it's hot. I'm leaving and won't bother you anymore." Seeing this, the chef went back to the kitchen.
Zhang Yuan personally broke off a chicken leg for each of the two girls and served them soup.
"Wow, it's really delicious!" Yang Mi first moved his nose, sniffed and made sure there was no strange smell, then he took a bite and immediately exclaimed.
"Yeah, I brought this back specially for you to eat."
"You're still thinking about us even though you're so far away?" Yang Mi said in a delicate voice.
"Of course, we are all friends."
"There will be good things coming to you."
"Hmm." Zeng Li also tasted it, and after finding it unexpectedly delicious, she started to pick up her chopsticks.
"It's delicious, thank you." Dalizi usually pays attention to maintaining her figure, but today, when faced with rare and special ingredients, she ate several more bowls.
In the early 2000s, the transportation industry was not as developed as it is in later generations. This thing could only be eaten locally and had to be in season.
“In fact, the taste of this pot is worse than the local ones.”
"After all, the chickens were not killed on the spot, and the water used was not local."
"Let's go to Yunnan to try it when we have time."
"What time?" Yang Mi turned her head away, her lips shining brightly from the oil in the chicken soup, as if she had put on lip gloss.
"Students should just study hard."
"Woo..." Yang Mi muttered unhappily.
She could feel that Zhang Yuan was deliberately keeping a very subtle distance from her.
She was very unhappy about this.
"Does he think I'm not pretty enough?" Yang Mi glanced at her deskmate Zeng Li.
She was chatting and laughing with Zhang Yuan.
Zeng Li is her senior in the company and also a huge mountain on her road to success.
After all, the company's internal resources are limited. If she takes more, I will have to take less.
Yang Mi touched his chin and lowered his head a little bit in inferiority.
But when she lowered her head, she saw the bulge on her chest, so she raised her head proudly again.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
A lot of other dishes were left over, but the pot of chicken soup was completely finished.
"There are still a lot of mushrooms left. I'll store them for you first." said the boss as he saw the group off.
"Next time you come, we can cook other dishes for you, fried bacon, fried rice, etc."
This boss knows how to do business. He has detained them. They will definitely go to their place for dinner next time.
Several people planned to go back to the hotel to rest.
"I'm sorry for being rude when you painted my portrait last time." Zeng Li said as she walked in the hotel corridor.
"What?" Zhang Yuan looked at her in confusion.
"Oh." Zeng Li smiled slightly. It turned out that the other person had forgotten about it long ago and didn't take it seriously at all.
"He has a very broad mind," Zeng Li thought.
"If you have the chance, please draw another portrait for me."
She realized that she was overthinking it, so she smiled and said, "I saw you draw beautiful paintings for the crew last time. I want to take one to keep as a souvenir of this crew."
"You can't give it to me for free. If I become a big shot in the market someday, you'll make a fortune." Zhang Yuan joked.
"Hehehe...then just tell me how much money you want and I'll give it to you." Dalizi knew he was joking.
This kind of joke between friends actually made her feel more relaxed.
"According to my current worth...wait!" Zhang Yuan was about to respond, but was stunned.
He looked down at the carpet in the hotel corridor.
"Put the painting aside for now. I have other things to do."
"what happened?"
"See? There are a group of little blue people running around above you. They look so funny." Zhang Yuan's eyes gradually focused.
Radiating the light of wisdom.
"Where?" Zeng Li asked, then looked up and pointed at the light green wallpaper of the hotel.
"I saw it, running on the wall!"
"Let's catch one and have some fun!"
"Row!"
In the eyes of the two, they were running quickly and chasing a group of "rare creatures" with great bravery.
But if you look from the blind spot of the hotel surveillance camera, you can see that the two of them are staggering and swaying with every step, just like Wu Laoer who had cerebral thrombosis next door.
"Hey, good guy, you run fast!"
"And he went into the house!" Zeng Li pulled him forward.
This pair of long legs really walks fast, one step is equivalent to another person's one and a half steps.
"What should we do if he enters the house?" Zhang Yuan looked at the other party.
I saw Dalizi take out a room card from his pocket.
drop!
"Let's go in and catch them!"
The two walked into the house hand in hand.
"I locked the door to prevent him from opening it and running away."
"Yeah!"
Zhang Yuan immediately locked the door and fastened the doorknob.
"Where?"
The two of them started searching the house.
"Hey, don't move!"
"Don't move either!"
After searching around, they both stopped at the same time.
In Zhang Yuan's eyes, several little blue men pulled Zeng Li's clothes and climbed up from her waist and abdomen.
When he reached the wide collar of the white T-shirt, he folded himself into the clothes.
In Zeng Li's eyes, a little blue man pulled Zhang Yuan's trouser leg up, jumped over his belt, and entered his pants.
"Don't move, I'll catch you!"
Zhang Yuan hurriedly lifted up the other person's T-shirt, and then saw two red umbrellas.
Zeng Li was not idle either. While Zhang Yuan was busy, she found a white pole under him.
"No, the little blue men are running all over your clothes!" Zhang Yuan shouted.
"How do we do that?"
"Without clothes, there will be nowhere to hide. Let them have nowhere to hide!"
"Row!"
Soon, all kinds of clothing appeared on the carpet in the hotel room.
The two of them caught the little blue man all night...
The next morning, the sky was clear and the sun was bright.
"Ah ah ah ah ah……"
There was a sound of crying in the room.
"Shaha... I, I'm not..."
With her short black hair in disarray, Dalizi wrapped herself tightly in the hotel's white quilt and spoke while sobbing.
"I'm not that kind of casual person!"
After waking up early in the morning, he found himself and Zhang Yuan lying on the bed, arms and legs intertwined, sleeping in the same quilt. He was a little emotionally broken.
"I never have one-night stands."
"I take relationships seriously."
It was unclear whether this person was explaining to Zhang Yuan or trying to excuse himself.
Zhang Yuan, who was covering his head, rubbed his eyes and said, "I know, I know."
"It's all my problem."
"you are right."
Now he didn't blame himself or the other party, but only blamed the chef.
"I told you to do a good job, but I made you almost fall down!"
"But the poisoning shouldn't be too serious, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fight him all night..."
"But the point is, I don't even remember what I did last night!"
“It’s all in vain!”
Zhang Yuan asked cautiously: "Do you have a boyfriend now?"
"No..." Zeng Li thought, she and Fu Dalong had just broken up a few months ago.
"That's good." Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. At least there was one less cuckold in the world.
"It doesn't matter whether you have a boyfriend or not. It's my problem. After all, even if it's poisoning, I bought the mushrooms." Zhang Yuan knew that it was useless to deny it at this point.
The facts are in front of us, so it’s better to talk it out and reconcile.
Zeng Li is a considerate person and has a relatively easy-going nature. Seeing that Zhang Yuan did not refuse, and thinking of how he rejected Huo Siyan yesterday, she started thinking about it.
"He probably isn't that kind of person."
"I can't blame you. I know you're being kind and inviting me to dinner." Zeng Li wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
At least I'm not being taken advantage of.
Besides, the other person didn't do it on purpose. He also looked good, had a good figure and was quite capable. He was also several years younger than me. So, I was the one who got the upper hand.
She is quite good at comforting herself.
"Then I'll go back to my room first. What happened last night is only between the two of us. Don't tell anyone else."
"Ah."
Zhang Yuan got out of bed, picked up his clothes and put them on, ready to leave.
"Hey, wait a moment." Zeng Li lifted the quilt and took a look, then looked embarrassed and called him.
"what happened?"
"Did you use that last night?"
"what?"
"It's just..." Zeng Li frowned, her cheeks flushed: "It's an umbrella."
Zhang Yuan felt a numbness on his spine.
I have gained a lot of fertility attributes!
"I don't remember, your current state is..."
Zeng Li nodded helplessly and grabbed several handfuls of tissues from the bedside table.
……
While filming during the day, Huang Weimin was surprised to find that Zhang Yuan was not in good shape today.
At the same time, Wu Jingyuan on the other side also discovered that Dalizi was not in good condition today.
Of course, they are not the only ones in poor condition.
Everyone who went to eat there yesterday felt dizzy all night.
Director Huang himself saw a group of sheep and a group of wolves fighting in front of him for a long time.
It did give him some creative inspiration.
He just thought that Zhang Yuan had eaten something bad and was not feeling well.
At lunch time, Zhao Xinxin, with a red face, handed him a plastic bag containing a medicine box.
The boss actually asked her to buy this.
She, a girl, went to the drugstore to buy this, and she couldn't open her mouth for a long time.
After she finally said it, the clerk even comforted her.
"Little sister, you are so beautiful, you must take care of your body."
Zhao Xunxun ran like crazy and ran back to the crew without even taking a breath.
"Thank you." Zhang Yuan said.
"Brother Zhang Yuan." Zhao Xinxin complained, "You are a good person."
"But he's not a good man!"
Zhang Yuan coughed lightly a few times, turned around and left, then sneaked over to Zeng Li while continuing his meal and handed the medicine to her.
This made me feel much more relieved.
"No one can be killed!"
"Brother Zhang Yuan, I bought some dessert."
"Sister Zeng Li, do you want to eat?" Yang Mi sat next to them holding a colorful paper box.
As he said that, he took out a cream puff from the box.
"I... don't want to eat anymore." Zeng Li's face turned pale and she refused.
"I quite like sweet food..." Zhang Yuan was about to take it when he noticed Dalizi's resentful eyes and had to take his hand back.
"Eat it yourself."
"You guys don't want to eat it, it's so delicious." Yang Mi shook her head: "I like eating puffs the most."
“I want to be a puff.”
Zeng Li: ...
Zhang Yuan felt uncomfortable all over during the filming that day.
In the evening, he went to find the other party and apologized again.
She is a rare good woman in the entertainment industry, you can't bully her.
"It's okay, it's over, I don't blame you." After a whole day, Dalizi finally adjusted.
"That's good. How about I treat you to another meal?" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "Let's not go to the restaurant we had yesterday."
"Okay." Zeng Li knew that the other party had no ill intentions, so she agreed.
Zhang Yuan had already gone to the restaurant yesterday and cursed during the day.
After checking around, I found out that the chef didn’t wash his hands after cutting the mushrooms…
After all, he is not a local Yunnan chef and lacks experience.
Zhang Yuan didn't dare to eat any more, so he asked the other party to throw away all the mushrooms.
The hotel was quite honest and knew that they were in the wrong, so the chef ordered his men to throw away the remaining mushrooms.
The man who was throwing away the garbage came to the door and happened to meet an acquaintance.
"Hey, Lao Li, what are you doing?"
"The wild mushrooms from Yunnan were thrown away."
"Hey, this is a good thing, don't waste it!"
"The guest brought it himself, but it got spoiled by the guest and can't be used anymore."
"If you don't want it, I want it. Just give it to me. Your boss doesn't know about it." As he said this, he handed out the cigarette.
The other party thought that throwing it away was the same as giving it to someone else, as long as it wasn't in my hands.
Then he gave the rest to the other party.
The man took the mushrooms and returned to the kitchen of a nearby hotel.
"Come, open your eyes, there are good things."
This is the head chef of another restaurant.
This person didn’t make chicken soup, but instead chopped it up and boiled it in lard to make mushroom sauce.
I bottled it and put it in the kitchen cabinet, intending to eat it myself or to entertain guests.
In the evening, Zhang Yuan asked Zeng Li to have dinner with him, and he deliberately avoided the restaurant they went to yesterday and stayed far away.
We ordered a table full of food, but we didn’t dare to drink the chicken soup, so we had a tomato and egg soup instead. I thought I wouldn’t be poisoned.
"Don't you have a good appetite?" He asked when he saw that the other party didn't eat much and put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites of the food.
"I feel a little tired, and my throat is not feeling well." Zeng Li touched her throat and felt a little pain.
"Okay then, if you don't want to eat any vegetables, just drink some soup and have some fried rice." Zhang Yuan served the other person a bowl.
"This fried rice is good. I've never had such delicious Yangzhou fried rice."
"Oh, yes, it tastes different from other restaurants, it's really delicious."
Both of them ate several bowls.
Zeng Li drank two bowls despite the sore throat and said how delicious it was.
As they ate and drank, Zhang Yuan felt relieved after making sure that the other party had no resentment.
After all, she is an adult, and Dalizi has had a boyfriend before. Although it is embarrassing, it is not completely unacceptable.
"Then let's go, and you should go back and rest early."
Zhang Yuan asked this question specifically when he paid the bill.
"Your fried rice tastes especially good today."
"Yes, you are big stars. We added some secret ingredients to the dishes, so they are especially delicious."
Zhang Yuan thought happily that being a celebrity did have its advantages, as he would receive special treatment when dining out.
Back to the hotel, it was the same corridor as yesterday.
“What happens on the set, stays on the set.”
"I know, what's past is past, I don't blame you." Zeng Li smiled with narrowed eyes like yesterday.
"As for the portrait, you can decide when a day is suitable for you. I'll work with your schedule." Zhang Yuan thought that he had to paint the portrait well as a reward for the other person.
"Well, I'll take a rest first. I'll come back to you when the crew is not busy."
"Okay...wait a moment!"
Zhang Yuan raised his hand and said, "Put the painting aside for now. I have other things to do."
"I know!" Zeng Li gathered her attention and looked towards the wall: "Catch the little blue man!"
"Congratulations, you've learned how to answer questions quickly!" Zhang Yuan grabbed her arm and ran towards the room.
Both of them were familiar with the following process.
Go inside, lock the door, and leave the little blue man nowhere to escape.
Get naked, jump on the bed, and leave the little blue man nowhere to hide!
The next day, the sky was clear and the day was bright again.
Zeng Li wrapped herself in a quilt and sat on the bed.
This time she didn't cry, but her eyes looked a little dull.
"I know you are not that kind of woman." Zhang Yuan said, rubbing his head.
Zeng Li: ...
Everything he said was my word!
"I understand. Things on the set should stay on the set. I don't blame you."
"But what I don't understand is why we were poisoned again." Zeng Li was already a little numb.
Not only was my body numb, but my lower body was also a little numb.
"I'll go ask later."
"Ah."
As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Zeng Li was much quieter than yesterday.
Then she lifted the quilt and looked again.
"You can't always go without an umbrella."
"I don't know anything." Zhang Yuan replied with an apologetic look.
"That's right." She turned around and grabbed a lot more papers from the bedside table.
Zhang Yuan stood up, poured a glass of water, and came to her side.
"Da Lang, no, Da Li, come and take medicine."
After taking the medicine and putting on clothes, Zeng Li said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't tell."
"I know. Besides, I don't remember anything and I can't say anything."
"Me too, I don't remember anything."
In fact, because this was the second time he was poisoned, he had some resistance to it. Now that Zhang Yuan had regained consciousness, he recalled a small part of what happened last night.
They were having a crazy time!
But the girl doesn’t remember anything, and he can’t just shamelessly say that he remembers everything.
Zhang Yuan carefully and stealthily ran back to his room.
After Zeng Li closed the door, she slid down with her back pressed against the door.
At this time, her cheeks gradually turned red.
Zhang Yuan developed resistance, and so did she.
But she was thinking, Zhang Yuan said he didn't remember anything, and as a woman, she couldn't say she remembered half of it.
He is so fierce!
"So this is what a real man looks like."
"And he's injured and wrapped in bandages."
"If it's at full health..."
Thinking of this, Dalizi couldn't help but clamp her legs together.
"I don't want to think about it anymore, I don't want to think about it anymore..."
Although he said so, a little movie could not be stopped from playing in his head... (End of this chapter)
