Wishing Restaurant didn't want to explode
Chapter 67 Baked Honey Potatoes
Along the coast of Qingjiang City, the air is humid, rainy and snowy, and snowflakes have been falling one after another since November.
It's never been too big though.
It often turns into a puddle of muddy water not long after it falls to the ground, and it can't be saved.
This can be hard for those who go to work and go to school.
Instead of being able to enjoy the snow scenery, you have to step on the muddy road to go out. No matter how carefully you dress up before going out, you will get splashed with mud.
Even pant legs were not spared.
A few days ago, Xiao Hua, who was picked out for falsifying her age, finally made a public apology on the talk.
She admitted that she deceived the audience, and said that she did not beg for everyone's forgiveness, and that she would temporarily stop acting for the next two years, and concentrate on polishing her acting skills.
Everyone said that her approach was really clever.
In the past few years, she has been too popular, and she is easy to cause trouble.
Although it is not a major mistake of right and wrong, it has deceived fans after all.If you still insist on this outlet, it will only ruin the popularity of passers-by.
In fact, people have a lot of forgetfulness, especially the entertainment industry is changing with each passing day. Every day, different people make different mistakes, and no one will remember this matter for too long.
If you simply admit your mistakes like this, keep a low profile for a while, and when everyone has almost forgotten about it, then choose a good script, and the chances of becoming famous are still very high.
When Xiaohua's accident happened, she was filming in a film crew called "Ode to the Breeze". She was a well-deserved number one actress, but who would have thought that...
After the incident, the production crew and management did not dare to use her again, and replaced her overnight.
Fortunately, the crew had just started work, and the heroine hadn't filmed many scenes, so it wouldn't be too troublesome to renovate.
On December 12th, the crew of "Ode to the Breeze" officially came to Qingjiang City for filming.
Many fans came here admiringly, looking for chance encounters, which accidentally set off a wave of small tourism peaks.
There is also a reason why this drama has attracted a lot of attention.
Although I went to a top-notch floret, from the substitute heroine and the original actor to the supporting roles, they are all traffic artists that cannot be underestimated.
Even the crew had a very difficult time poaching veteran drama star Dai Xiaoyun to join in, playing a very deep-rooted character in the play.
Dai Xiaoyun doesn't have many roles, but every time he plays a great role in promoting the plot, which is of great significance.
And the single shot will take up a large proportion, so overall, it can also be ranked as the fourth female.
In the context of the popularity of traffic artists in recent years, it is not easy for Dai Xiaoyun, who is in his 50s, to get such a role.
In recent years, a routine has been particularly popular in the film and television industry:
Use traffic to match old drama bones.
Traffic can warm up film and television dramas in advance and attract audiences;
And with the blessing of the old drama, no matter how bad the film is, there will still be some acting skills in the later stage.
Even if some traffic artists use a little bit of snacks, they can be driven a little bit, forming the illusion of explosive acting skills in a short period of time.
Enough brainless fans to blow for a lifetime.
It is impossible to test which company pioneered this model.
But practice has proved that it works really well.
Even in the past few years, many veteran actors of the acting school who had no more movies to shoot unexpectedly ushered in a second spring in their careers.
It's good to have a career rejuvenation, but that's why.
I really don't know whether to say it is luck or misfortune.
On the day the crew arrived, Liao Kee restaurant welcomed several suspicious guests.
Lowered hat, big mask, scarf, wary look around after taking a few steps...
All I have to do is hang a sign on my body and write:
I have a problem, come and shoot me.
After working in Liao Kee restaurant for so long, Guan Wenjing also had some winks. Looking at them like this, she vaguely guessed something, and went forward to serve them herself.
After those people came in, they reported the name of the box they had booked in advance, and then ordered a lot of signature dishes in one go.
Guan Wenjing apologized: "I'm really sorry, among the three signature dishes you ordered, the roast suckling pig has been sold out, and the boiled cabbage needs to be ordered three days in advance, but it is not available now. Do you want to change two?"
In the past few days, Liao Chu made another red crispy hand, which is simply braised pig's trotters.
But he used his original improved formula, and he had to simmer it slowly for a long time, which was very troublesome.
The red crispy hand-cuffed pastry made by this method is soft and rotten, melts in the mouth, fat but not greasy, it is definitely the best among pork dishes.
Therefore, after roast suckling pig and boiled cabbage, the third golden dish was awarded.
Those people looked at each other in blank dismay.
It's only after five o'clock in the afternoon, and you tell me that it's sold out?
Guan Wenjing's smile remained unchanged, "Now we have increased the amount of roast suckling pigs. We supply ten suckling pigs a day. You can buy one or half a suckling pig, but you can only consume it once in three days, usually around ten o'clock in the morning. Sold out."
With helpers, Liao Chu can also spare more time to make roast suckling pig.
However, the supply is still in short supply.
However, he has no plans to continue to expand the scale for the time being.
One of them took off his hat, mask and jacket, revealing a face that has frequently appeared in major media in the past two years, and said with a smile:
"Beauty, it's not easy for us to come here, can't we be accommodating?"
Guan Wenjing shook her head, "I'm really sorry."
The other party's smile froze for a moment, and the people next to him giggled.
"Hahahaha, I didn't recognize you..."
Of course Guan Wenjing recognized him, but so what?
Are there still few celebrities coming to their restaurants?
Coming here is just an ordinary diner.
As a result, a week later, these people came again.
And not only them, but several more, a total of sixteen or seventeen people.
The leader was a lady with outstanding temperament. Although she was a little older, her gestures were elegant and pleasing to the eye.
Guan Wenjing stepped forward to greet her as usual, but she was shocked when she saw the other person's face.
But she still tried her best to restrain her excitement and guide the other party in a serious and orderly manner.
The lady was soft-spoken and very gentle.
She first handed the menu to the young man at the same table, and then said to Guan Wenjing: "Girl, we snapped up a roast suckling pig this morning, and left a message to help keep it, can it be served now?"
Guan Wenjing confirmed the message and phone number with her, and nodded, "Yes, your appointment is at twelve noon, and the table will be available in about 10 minutes."
The lady breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to the young people at the same table: "Before I came, I did a strategy."
The speaker had no intention of the listener, and as soon as she finished speaking, the face of a young man next to her became hot.
But no one noticed him.
At this table, the lady who speaks is the real protagonist.
So everyone flattered: "Teacher Dai is awesome!"
"As expected of Mr. Dai, what you think about is Zhou Dao."
Teacher Dai waved his hand to prevent them from continuing, "Let's order."
Everyone stopped talking.
Guan Wenjing obviously noticed that the few diners who came last time also changed from being perverted back then and became more obedient.
After all, he is an old artist. Even if he is not very popular now, the contacts he has accumulated for most of his life should not be underestimated.
Besides, people don't rely on facial recognition to make a living, their status is there.
To say anything casually, to praise and suppress others, is like playing.
After the meal, Guan Wenjing tidied up her clothes carefully before entering the ledger.
After confirming that the bill was correct, the lady nodded and signed it.
It wasn't until this moment that Guan Wenjing said in a slightly trembling voice:
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Dai Xiaoyun?"
The other party smiled and nodded, "Thank you for remembering me."
Because she didn't have a favorite script or role, she hasn't appeared on the screen for many years, and most of the younger generation of children don't know her.
Guan Wenjing nodded desperately, "How could I not know you? Our whole family is your fan. I grew up watching your plays. They are really great, especially the shepherdess in "Yellow River Water". Really dead."
For an old artist of Dai Xiaoyun's level, he really heard too much flattery, and over time, he didn't really take it seriously.
But if a fan can clearly say the role he has played, it will be different.
Prove that she really likes it.
Dai Xiaoyun's expression and eyes softened visible to the naked eye, "That's an old drama! Thank you for your love, I like it too."
Guan Wenjing tremblingly took out a pen and paper, "Yes, can I trouble you to sign it for me?"
Dai Xiaoyun readily agreed, and even took the initiative to ask: "Do you want to take a group photo?"
Guan Wenjing looked like she was about to cry, "Can I?"
Am I worthy? !
Dai Xiaoyun laughed, "It's my honor."
She looks good when she smiles, and every wrinkle is silently telling the charm of the owner.
In the next few days, the crew of "Ode to the Breeze" did not show up again.
But the assistants of several actors came every now and then.
We didn't stop much, just packed our meals and left.
On December 12, Qingjiang City ushered in the first real heavy snow this year.
As long as the temperature is low enough, the moisture in the air of coastal cities can exert its power to the greatest extent.
Snow flakes the size of goose feathers entangled each other in mid-air, turning into snowballs like cotton wool, which looked like clouds falling from a distance.
In just one hour, the ground was completely white.
Tomorrow is Sunday, Liu Kee restaurant will be closed as usual.
After seeing off the diners, Liao Chu was not in a hurry to leave.
He collected a basket of high-quality sweet potatoes, which were not in large quantities and were not suitable for sale, so he kept them and roasted them himself.
Guoguo and Yu Yu sat side by side at the table, dangling their legs, looking eagerly at the glowing red oven.
"Ding~"
Eyes, one big and one small, lit up.
Liao Chu laughed.
He put on oven mitts and dragged the pan out.
The moment the oven door was opened, the long-stored aroma exploded, and the white steam flowed down the countertop like overflowing clouds.
"smell good!"
The one big and one small sucked their noses and sent out neat sighs.
The smell is hard to describe.
Like cotton!
Warm, fragrant, wrapping people inside, indescribably reassuring.
Liao Chu picked up two of them through the glove and blew on them, "Be careful it's hot inside."
The two nodded wildly.
Baked sweet potatoes have wrinkled skins.
Some places have been separated from the flesh, and a light tear will reveal the moist golden red inside.
This sweet potato is low in moisture and high in sweetness.
During the roasting process, much of the sugar in the pulp is released, forming a reddish-brown syrup on the skin.
Pick up with the tip of a spoon and pull out long, amber strands of sugar.
As soon as you put it in your mouth, honey is a thing of the past.
Sweet potatoes are not big in size, pointed and slender, a bit inconspicuous.
But when you pinch the two ends and break them with a little force, the beautiful melon flesh will be exposed.
Deep reddish brown with hints of gold, like amber, semimelose.
"Huh~"
"It's hot, it's hot!"
"So sweet, so sweet!"
Yu Yu took a bite, grinned his teeth from being burned, and hurried to help Guoguo blow.
Children's skin is delicate, so don't scald it.
Guoguo kept swallowing, watching eagerly.
The two little hands were clasped together and pinched back and forth.
I really want to eat it!
Liao Chu was amused, and took one to eat himself.
It's snowing outside, but it's warm inside.
The three of them were eating when they heard the doorbell jingle.
Liao Chu turned his head, "Sorry, it's closed."
After seeing the person coming, he was slightly taken aback.
It's Dai Xiaoyun.
Dai Xiaoyun took a deep breath instinctively, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I just happened to pass by here after the show, it's really delicious..."
Liao Chu hesitated, "Would you like some food?"
Dai Xiaoyun showed a little girl-like surprise, "Is it okay?"
Liao Chu nodded, "It's not a good thing."
Left and right they have to finish eating before leaving.
As long as there is no extra cooking, there is no delay.
Dai Xiaoyun came over and apologized to Yu Yu and Guoguo again, "Excuse me."
Yu Yu was a little flattered, "It's nothing..."
It's Dai Xiaoyun!
When she came before, he only took a quick glance, but now he got so close.
Holding the steaming sweet potato in her hand, Guoguo looked up and was stunned.
After a long time, the little girl said stupidly: "Auntie is so beautiful, are you a fairy?"
Liao Chu: "..."
This line sounds a bit familiar.
Dai Xiaoyun burst out laughing.
She took off the gloves, warmed her hands together in the palms of each other, and then lightly touched Guoguo's soft cheeks, "You are also a little fairy."
Guoguo giggled, and then said seriously, "But I want to be Queen Elsa."
Liao Chu: "..."
Yu Yu: "..."
Dai Xiaoyun looked at the snowy sky outside with a smile, "Then do you want to build an ice and snow castle?"
Aunt knows Aisha!
Guoguo nodded happily, "Uncle said, my magic clothes will arrive in a few days, and I will build a big castle by then!"
Liao Chu and Yu Yu looked at each other, as if they were looking at a hard worker who was about to start work.
Kids love castles, so build them...
Guoguo grabbed a sweet potato and handed it to Dai Xiaoyun, "Auntie Fairy, I need to peel the skin and eat it. Before eating, it's very hot inside."
Dai Xiaoyun nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you for reminding me."
She doesn't wear makeup and has obvious wrinkles on her face, but she is obviously well-maintained compared to her peers.
Dai Xiaoyun like this doesn't have a celebrity halo, he seems to be just someone's kind little old lady.
She took a bite of sweet potatoes and smiled, "It's really sweet. We used to eat sweet potatoes when we were young, but they were not as sweet."
Guoguo swallowed the food in her mouth, "Because uncle made it."
In her opinion, the food outside is not delicious because it was not made by her uncle.
Liao Chu was both gratified and embarrassed, "Tongyan has no taboo."
Eating sweet potatoes in that era had a completely different meaning.
Dai Xiaoyun shook her head, "What she said is not bad, your cooking skills are indeed very good. In fact, I wanted to go to the old restaurant before, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity."
She set up a repertory troupe with others, and she has been active in Shanghai all year round, and the number of times she went north was not many.
Occasionally, a few times, the schedule is full and the pace is hurried.
Speaking of this, she was inevitably a little sad.
Many people inside and outside the circle sighed when they heard that the old taste that was once famous is not as good as before.
But the entertainment industry, why not?
Before she brought the children of the film crew to Liao Kee restaurant for dinner, she wanted to take that opportunity to find out what the younger generations in the entertainment industry were thinking.
Although he didn't say it clearly, Dai Xiaoyun, who has been in the vertical and horizontal circle for many years, still infers from the clues:
They have already been here.
When did it come?
The crew is so busy.
It was also because of the bad weather that day that a scene was forced to be postponed, and then a few hours were freed up.
Dai Xiaoyun saw that the faces and hearts of the crew were not at peace, so he proposed to be the host and go out to build the team, and this was how the Liaoji Restaurant and his party were formed that day.
So when did they come?
Yes, there was a script study the night the crew assembled, but the young actors were late.
It must have been that day.
As an actor, he clearly knew that he had a filming task in his hands. When he came to a new location, he didn't try to adjust the rhythm and delve into the script, but was busy looking for something to eat.
And this wasted everyone's time...
It's ridiculous.
In the crew when she was young, as long as the machine was turned on, everyone would become one, with basic necessities of life in one place, wishing to squeeze out 25 hours a day to study scripts and discuss dramas.
Now, with more investment, the entire crew is like a mess, doing things in its own way.
Several leading actors often couldn't even get together, and they disappeared instantly after the cut.
They don't even eat the crew's box lunch...
Can't bear this grievance?
Liao Chu watched Dai Xiaoyun who was smiling and talking just now, and a heavy emotional layer gradually permeated his whole body.
For a while it is passionate red, for a while it is sad and gloomy blue, the two colors are crazily intertwined, like an active volcano under the ice...
Finally, it turned into a strong purple.
Magnificent colors like never before.
"Do you drink?"
he asks.
Dai Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, a little tangled, "There is still a show tomorrow."
To be honest, she really wants to have a glass of strong wine now, to pour out the sorrow in her heart.
This kind of money is aggrieved and ignorant of conscience.
After hesitating for a while, Dai Xiaoyun asked again: "If the prescription is not high, you can have a small cup."
Liao Chu silently brought a small porcelain bottle over.
The bottle is only the size of a dragon fruit, and it is gray and inconspicuous.
But when the wine is poured out, it looks like a pearl that wipes away the dust, shining faintly under the light.
"What kind of wine is this?"
Dai Xiaoyun was almost dumbfounded.
Although he is low-key now, he is considered to be rich in assets, and he has seen a lot of wine in ancient and modern China and abroad.
but this?
"The willows are dark and the flowers are bright."
Liao Chu said.
Or it can be called bitterness, but it is a little blunt.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yu Yu looking at him eagerly, and couldn't help being amused.
So I poured him a small glass too.
"Drink slowly."
Although the alcohol content is not high, it has a strong aftertaste, and it is easy to get drunk if you drink it in a hurry.
Guoguo raised her hand, "Guoguo wants to drink too."
Liao Chu gave her a cruel blow, "Children are not allowed to drink."
Guoguo groaned, "Does uncle want to drink too?"
Liao Chu shook his head, "Uncle doesn't drink either."
The little girl regained her mental balance instantly.
"The willows are dark and the flowers are bright..."
Dai Xiaoyun said the name twice, picked up the walnut-sized wine glass, and sipped lightly.
Well……
bitter.
She frowned.
This is really a cup of bitter wine, just like my mood at the moment.
And after a few seconds, the changes start:
"Sweet?!"
Yu Yu said in surprise.
It is indeed sweet.
It's like suddenly turning the clouds to see the sun in the hazy sky.
She suddenly smiled.
This boss is really interesting.
He should have seen that he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he deliberately chose this wine.
It was just right.
The willows are dark and the flowers are bright...
Maybe, maybe this circle is also a reincarnation.
In a few more years, maybe I can witness the dead art come back to life.
Dai Xiaoyun is actually very talkative.
She has experienced a special age, and she is a storybook in itself.
In order to express her gratitude, she told two stories to the three present.
There is nothing particularly flowery or overly embellished, but it is extraordinarily fascinating.
Guoguo cried.
Yu Yu also had slightly red eyes.
By the time the story was over, it was past 11 o'clock before I knew it.
Dai Xiaoyun stood up and nodded slightly to them, "The baked sweet potatoes are delicious, and today's wine is also very good."
What a nice restaurant.
The three of them closed the store and walked home.
Guoguo is surprisingly energetic.
She greeted the snowflakes, opened her arms, and sang "Wright Dog" while dancing happily.
"biubiu~"
Queen Elsa is here!
When he got downstairs, Yu Yu suddenly said, "Mr. Liao!"
Only then did Liao Chu realize that there was something wrong with this person:
There were two blushes on the fair skin, the cat's eyes were watery, and the corners of the eyes were slightly red.
Kind of... age-appropriate cuteness.
Is this drunk? !
Didn't you say that you drink well?
Yu Yu giggled a few times, and said mysteriously, "Wait for me!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran away, and in a few steps, a big horse lay face down in the thick snowdrift.
Liao Chu: "..."
I'm waiting for you to wrestle...
He hurriedly took three steps and two steps to pick him up.
Yu Yu shivered from the cold, and his forehead and hair were covered with snowflakes.
But he was still laughing.
"Don't follow, be pleasantly surprised."
The drinking man was so powerful that he actually broke free and continued to run crookedly.
Liao Chu followed a few steps, and saw Teacher Yu, who was usually very gentle, suddenly turned around and stared at him, "Don't follow!"
Like a grinning cat.
Liao Chu: "..."
He silently took out his phone.
It can be said to be a precious historical material.
There is a row of lockers in the entrance hall of each building. Yu Yu walked over unsteadily, bent down, almost pressed his face against the lockers, and looked at them side by side.
"... 7, 8, this is it!"
He nodded seriously, took out the key card, frowned, and tried to swipe the card at the sensor.
Liao Chu quietly pushed the door open and came in, followed by Guo Guo who was also tiptoeing.
Guoguo covered her mouth and asked softly, "What is Teacher Yuyu doing?"
Liao Chu: "..."
I'm being silly.
A few minutes later, Mr. Yu, who was fighting with the locker, finally won a phased victory.
He was dragging a huge cardboard box, turned his head and found Liao Chu standing not far behind him, and smiled again.
"Mr. Liao," he looked down at his watch and waited for the number on the dial to jump past 12 o'clock before raising his face, "Happy birthday."
For a moment, the north wind whistling outside stopped, the flying snowflakes disappeared, and all the noise disappeared.
Liao Chu knew it was all an illusion.
But he heard the sound of his own heartbeat.
It's never been too big though.
It often turns into a puddle of muddy water not long after it falls to the ground, and it can't be saved.
This can be hard for those who go to work and go to school.
Instead of being able to enjoy the snow scenery, you have to step on the muddy road to go out. No matter how carefully you dress up before going out, you will get splashed with mud.
Even pant legs were not spared.
A few days ago, Xiao Hua, who was picked out for falsifying her age, finally made a public apology on the talk.

In the next few days, the crew of "Ode to the Breeze" did not show up again.
But the assistants of several actors came every now and then.
We didn't stop much, just packed our meals and left.
On December 12, Qingjiang City ushered in the first real heavy snow this year.
As long as the temperature is low enough, the moisture in the air of coastal cities can exert its power to the greatest extent.
Snow flakes the size of goose feathers entangled each other in mid-air, turning into snowballs like cotton wool, which looked like clouds falling from a distance.
In just one hour, the ground was completely white.
Tomorrow is Sunday, Liu Kee restaurant will be closed as usual.
After seeing off the diners, Liao Chu was not in a hurry to leave.
He collected a basket of high-quality sweet potatoes, which were not in large quantities and were not suitable for sale, so he kept them and roasted them himself.
Guoguo and Yu Yu sat side by side at the table, dangling their legs, looking eagerly at the glowing red oven.
"Ding~"
Eyes, one big and one small, lit up.
Liao Chu laughed.
He put on oven mitts and dragged the pan out.
The moment the oven door was opened, the long-stored aroma exploded, and the white steam flowed down the countertop like overflowing clouds.
"smell good!"
The one big and one small sucked their noses and sent out neat sighs.
The smell is hard to describe.
Like cotton!
Warm, fragrant, wrapping people inside, indescribably reassuring.
Liao Chu picked up two of them through the glove and blew on them, "Be careful it's hot inside."
The two nodded wildly.
Baked sweet potatoes have wrinkled skins.
Some places have been separated from the flesh, and a light tear will reveal the moist golden red inside.
This sweet potato is low in moisture and high in sweetness.
During the roasting process, much of the sugar in the pulp is released, forming a reddish-brown syrup on the skin.
Pick up with the tip of a spoon and pull out long, amber strands of sugar.
As soon as you put it in your mouth, honey is a thing of the past.
Sweet potatoes are not big in size, pointed and slender, a bit inconspicuous.
But when you pinch the two ends and break them with a little force, the beautiful melon flesh will be exposed.
Deep reddish brown with hints of gold, like amber, semimelose.
"Huh~"
"It's hot, it's hot!"
"So sweet, so sweet!"
Yu Yu took a bite, grinned his teeth from being burned, and hurried to help Guoguo blow.
Children's skin is delicate, so don't scald it.
Guoguo kept swallowing, watching eagerly.
The two little hands were clasped together and pinched back and forth.
I really want to eat it!
Liao Chu was amused, and took one to eat himself.
It's snowing outside, but it's warm inside.
The three of them were eating when they heard the doorbell jingle.
Liao Chu turned his head, "Sorry, it's closed."
After seeing the person coming, he was slightly taken aback.
It's Dai Xiaoyun.
Dai Xiaoyun took a deep breath instinctively, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry, I just happened to pass by here after the show, it's really delicious..."
Liao Chu hesitated, "Would you like some food?"
Dai Xiaoyun showed a little girl-like surprise, "Is it okay?"
Liao Chu nodded, "It's not a good thing."
Left and right they have to finish eating before leaving.
As long as there is no extra cooking, there is no delay.
Dai Xiaoyun came over and apologized to Yu Yu and Guoguo again, "Excuse me."
Yu Yu was a little flattered, "It's nothing..."
It's Dai Xiaoyun!
When she came before, he only took a quick glance, but now he got so close.
Holding the steaming sweet potato in her hand, Guoguo looked up and was stunned.
After a long time, the little girl said stupidly: "Auntie is so beautiful, are you a fairy?"
Liao Chu: "..."
This line sounds a bit familiar.
Dai Xiaoyun burst out laughing.
She took off the gloves, warmed her hands together in the palms of each other, and then lightly touched Guoguo's soft cheeks, "You are also a little fairy."
Guoguo giggled, and then said seriously, "But I want to be Queen Elsa."
Liao Chu: "..."
Yu Yu: "..."
Dai Xiaoyun looked at the snowy sky outside with a smile, "Then do you want to build an ice and snow castle?"
Aunt knows Aisha!
Guoguo nodded happily, "Uncle said, my magic clothes will arrive in a few days, and I will build a big castle by then!"
Liao Chu and Yu Yu looked at each other, as if they were looking at a hard worker who was about to start work.
Kids love castles, so build them...
Guoguo grabbed a sweet potato and handed it to Dai Xiaoyun, "Auntie Fairy, I need to peel the skin and eat it. Before eating, it's very hot inside."
Dai Xiaoyun nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you for reminding me."
She doesn't wear makeup and has obvious wrinkles on her face, but she is obviously well-maintained compared to her peers.
Dai Xiaoyun like this doesn't have a celebrity halo, he seems to be just someone's kind little old lady.
She took a bite of sweet potatoes and smiled, "It's really sweet. We used to eat sweet potatoes when we were young, but they were not as sweet."
Guoguo swallowed the food in her mouth, "Because uncle made it."
In her opinion, the food outside is not delicious because it was not made by her uncle.
Liao Chu was both gratified and embarrassed, "Tongyan has no taboo."
Eating sweet potatoes in that era had a completely different meaning.
Dai Xiaoyun shook her head, "What she said is not bad, your cooking skills are indeed very good. In fact, I wanted to go to the old restaurant before, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity."
She set up a repertory troupe with others, and she has been active in Shanghai all year round, and the number of times she went north was not many.
Occasionally, a few times, the schedule is full and the pace is hurried.
Speaking of this, she was inevitably a little sad.
Many people inside and outside the circle sighed when they heard that the old taste that was once famous is not as good as before.
But the entertainment industry, why not?
Before she brought the children of the film crew to Liao Kee restaurant for dinner, she wanted to take that opportunity to find out what the younger generations in the entertainment industry were thinking.
Although he didn't say it clearly, Dai Xiaoyun, who has been in the vertical and horizontal circle for many years, still infers from the clues:
They have already been here.
When did it come?
The crew is so busy.
It was also because of the bad weather that day that a scene was forced to be postponed, and then a few hours were freed up.
Dai Xiaoyun saw that the faces and hearts of the crew were not at peace, so he proposed to be the host and go out to build the team, and this was how the Liaoji Restaurant and his party were formed that day.
So when did they come?
Yes, there was a script study the night the crew assembled, but the young actors were late.
It must have been that day.
As an actor, he clearly knew that he had a filming task in his hands. When he came to a new location, he didn't try to adjust the rhythm and delve into the script, but was busy looking for something to eat.
And this wasted everyone's time...
It's ridiculous.
In the crew when she was young, as long as the machine was turned on, everyone would become one, with basic necessities of life in one place, wishing to squeeze out 25 hours a day to study scripts and discuss dramas.
Now, with more investment, the entire crew is like a mess, doing things in its own way.
Several leading actors often couldn't even get together, and they disappeared instantly after the cut.
They don't even eat the crew's box lunch...
Can't bear this grievance?
Liao Chu watched Dai Xiaoyun who was smiling and talking just now, and a heavy emotional layer gradually permeated his whole body.
For a while it is passionate red, for a while it is sad and gloomy blue, the two colors are crazily intertwined, like an active volcano under the ice...
Finally, it turned into a strong purple.
Magnificent colors like never before.
"Do you drink?"
he asks.
Dai Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, a little tangled, "There is still a show tomorrow."
To be honest, she really wants to have a glass of strong wine now, to pour out the sorrow in her heart.
This kind of money is aggrieved and ignorant of conscience.
After hesitating for a while, Dai Xiaoyun asked again: "If the prescription is not high, you can have a small cup."
Liao Chu silently brought a small porcelain bottle over.
The bottle is only the size of a dragon fruit, and it is gray and inconspicuous.
But when the wine is poured out, it looks like a pearl that wipes away the dust, shining faintly under the light.
"What kind of wine is this?"
Dai Xiaoyun was almost dumbfounded.
Although he is low-key now, he is considered to be rich in assets, and he has seen a lot of wine in ancient and modern China and abroad.
but this?
"The willows are dark and the flowers are bright."
Liao Chu said.
Or it can be called bitterness, but it is a little blunt.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Yu Yu looking at him eagerly, and couldn't help being amused.
So I poured him a small glass too.
"Drink slowly."
Although the alcohol content is not high, it has a strong aftertaste, and it is easy to get drunk if you drink it in a hurry.
Guoguo raised her hand, "Guoguo wants to drink too."
Liao Chu gave her a cruel blow, "Children are not allowed to drink."
Guoguo groaned, "Does uncle want to drink too?"
Liao Chu shook his head, "Uncle doesn't drink either."
The little girl regained her mental balance instantly.
"The willows are dark and the flowers are bright..."
Dai Xiaoyun said the name twice, picked up the walnut-sized wine glass, and sipped lightly.
Well……
bitter.
She frowned.
This is really a cup of bitter wine, just like my mood at the moment.
And after a few seconds, the changes start:
"Sweet?!"
Yu Yu said in surprise.
It is indeed sweet.
It's like suddenly turning the clouds to see the sun in the hazy sky.
She suddenly smiled.
This boss is really interesting.
He should have seen that he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he deliberately chose this wine.
It was just right.
The willows are dark and the flowers are bright...
Maybe, maybe this circle is also a reincarnation.
In a few more years, maybe I can witness the dead art come back to life.
Dai Xiaoyun is actually very talkative.
She has experienced a special age, and she is a storybook in itself.
In order to express her gratitude, she told two stories to the three present.
There is nothing particularly flowery or overly embellished, but it is extraordinarily fascinating.
Guoguo cried.
Yu Yu also had slightly red eyes.
By the time the story was over, it was past 11 o'clock before I knew it.
Dai Xiaoyun stood up and nodded slightly to them, "The baked sweet potatoes are delicious, and today's wine is also very good."
What a nice restaurant.
The three of them closed the store and walked home.
Guoguo is surprisingly energetic.
She greeted the snowflakes, opened her arms, and sang "Wright Dog" while dancing happily.
"biubiu~"
Queen Elsa is here!
When he got downstairs, Yu Yu suddenly said, "Mr. Liao!"
Only then did Liao Chu realize that there was something wrong with this person:
There were two blushes on the fair skin, the cat's eyes were watery, and the corners of the eyes were slightly red.
Kind of... age-appropriate cuteness.
Is this drunk? !
Didn't you say that you drink well?
Yu Yu giggled a few times, and said mysteriously, "Wait for me!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and ran away, and in a few steps, a big horse lay face down in the thick snowdrift.
Liao Chu: "..."
I'm waiting for you to wrestle...
He hurriedly took three steps and two steps to pick him up.
Yu Yu shivered from the cold, and his forehead and hair were covered with snowflakes.
But he was still laughing.
"Don't follow, be pleasantly surprised."
The drinking man was so powerful that he actually broke free and continued to run crookedly.
Liao Chu followed a few steps, and saw Teacher Yu, who was usually very gentle, suddenly turned around and stared at him, "Don't follow!"
Like a grinning cat.
Liao Chu: "..."
He silently took out his phone.
It can be said to be a precious historical material.
There is a row of lockers in the entrance hall of each building. Yu Yu walked over unsteadily, bent down, almost pressed his face against the lockers, and looked at them side by side.
"... 7, 8, this is it!"
He nodded seriously, took out the key card, frowned, and tried to swipe the card at the sensor.
Liao Chu quietly pushed the door open and came in, followed by Guo Guo who was also tiptoeing.
Guoguo covered her mouth and asked softly, "What is Teacher Yuyu doing?"
Liao Chu: "..."
I'm being silly.
A few minutes later, Mr. Yu, who was fighting with the locker, finally won a phased victory.
He was dragging a huge cardboard box, turned his head and found Liao Chu standing not far behind him, and smiled again.
"Mr. Liao," he looked down at his watch and waited for the number on the dial to jump past 12 o'clock before raising his face, "Happy birthday."
For a moment, the north wind whistling outside stopped, the flying snowflakes disappeared, and all the noise disappeared.
Liao Chu knew it was all an illusion.
But he heard the sound of his own heartbeat.
