Chapter 128

In the following time, in the daily episode of "It's Time to Eat", under the guidance of the director Heng Yi, the audience tasted and discovered many special foods with him.

Traditional Daxia delicacies such as Beijing roast duck, pasta and pizza, sakura sashimi and sushi...

However, as the plot unfolds, in addition to the food, the audience gradually discovers a problem with the male protagonist in the play. Every time it is time to eat, the male protagonist has already developed a good habit of eating on time, enjoying food, and enjoying life, even though there is no "superpower" to enforce it at this time.

However, the more this happens, the more the male protagonist's uniqueness is highlighted.

Hengyi gradually began to try to change his lifestyle, and his health improved. With this healthy body, he was able to complete his work at peak performance and efficiency every day, and the quality and speed of his videos were even better than before, earning him recognition.

And every time the hero is looking for delicious food, when he calms down to taste the food and shows a comfortable and satisfied expression, in the background, whether it is morning, noon or night, the passers-by who pass by the hero are still in a hurry, living a seemingly busy and fulfilling regular life day after day.

They are working, they are traveling, and even they are studying. Their young faces already reveal some of the fatigue and exhaustion that only adults can have.

There are also people who are just like the male protagonist in the first episode: in the building next door, someone fainted at his workstation due to staying up late for a long time and irregular diet, and was sent to the hospital.

In this episode, while waiting for the food to be served, the male protagonist opened his light brain to browse the news. The interface displayed the statistical data table released by the official after this year's census.

The proportion of sub-healthy people has increased again.

At the filming site, after hearing about it, the actors in the crew were still discussing the patients next door during their breaks, but they did not realize that they were also among those who were not living a good life.

It's time for lunch again.

Heng Yi did not leave immediately. Instead, after turning off the camera, he said to the actors, "I've ordered some food. Let's eat together at noon."

The actors looked at each other, although they were a little confused, but they also knew that Director Heng had recently developed a new hobby. Since Director Heng had invited them, there was no reason for them to refuse.

Once, twice, three times...

Under the leadership of Hengdao, more and more people in the entire Mars company joined the army of people eating at noon every day. The aroma of the food wafted out, and the workers in the next building gave up the nutritional paste under the temptation of the aroma. Then, like dominoes, starting from one point, the aroma spread farther and farther.

Everyone has also learned Director Heng’s catchphrase. When the time comes, they remind each other by saying: It’s time to eat.

Not only the director needs to eat, but also the other workers in the play and the audience in front of the screen need to eat.

The last episode of "It's Time for the Director to Eat" is about Director Heng and the Mars family visiting a new store together.

Old kitchen in a small town.

The Martian family sat around the table, savoring the supreme and luxurious Manchu-Han banquet consisting of 108 dishes.

As the delicious food entered their mouths, everyone's face was filled with happiness and enjoyment.

At this moment, fragments flashed one after another.

On the way to work in the early morning, workers who get up ten minutes earlier would go to a noodle shop and have a bowl of hot wontons to start their day.

When it is almost noon, the workers keep looking at their watches. The moment the hands point to the exact time, they rush out of the office and rush to the knife-cut noodle restaurant. If they go too late, all the seats will be taken!

Late one night after get off work, I'd go to a kebab shop, enjoy a draft beer and a plate of lamb skewers, and meet up with one or two friends, or a familiar stranger at the next table. We'd chat about the mountains and the client, and then we'd talk about anything and everything, bragging and fantasizing about the future, releasing the day's fatigue and briefly being ourselves: "After I save a few more years, I'll be my own boss. Let's see who dares to ask me to change the plan..."

Eat a good meal when you are tired, eat a good meal when you are sad, and eat an even better meal when you are happy.

Eat well and live well.

It’s time to eat!

The play is over.

The message that Director Huan wants to convey in this drama is simple and pure. I get it. Director Huan, don't worry. I will eat well and take good care of myself!

I suddenly remembered that some time ago, various stars released survey data. Sub-health is indeed an issue worthy of attention. With the continuous advancement of technology, many diseases have been cured, and the problem of sub-health has become more serious. It's not a serious illness, but it is a long-term harm. Therefore, we must take good care of our bodies.

From animal protection to environmental protection and now health issues, the core of Director Huan's works is really gentle and positive. Watching such works and having such an idol, I am getting better and better!

[Here's a sad story: After watching Director Huan's new drama, my diet has become more and more regular. The food is delicious, but too delicious. I can't control myself. I used to eat one meal a day, but now I eat four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a midnight snack. Is this not good?]

[You above... Director Huan has an idea for his next play, but he's going from one extreme to another. That's unacceptable!]

【Changed Heaven: Hehehe. 】

[Bian Tianren: Don't ever say Director Huan doesn't love us again. In other stars' works, Director Huan only cared about your spirit, but in our star, Director Huan not only fed us spiritual nourishment, but also cared about our physical health. He really loves us.]

【Ah Xu, don't worry, we will eat well, live well, enjoy food, and enjoy life! 】

Other aliens: [……] As expected, eating candy by oneself is a necessary skill for every alien.

There is always an illusion in the world that Director Huan always loves us the most.

At the Yan family, Yan Xiaoan looked at his brother in disbelief.

It's time to eat. The old kitchen in the small town in the last episode also has a prototype. It is the old kitchen restaurant on Cangtianxing where Huan Xu and Yan Ze met for the first time. The young owner Cai Shaoxian is Yan Ze's classmate. In the last episode, Cai Shaoxian was invited to make a guest appearance in the play. He played himself and prepared the most classic Manchu-Han banquet with his father.

Yan Ze had previously said that this drama was a commemoration of his and Huan Xu's date, but she hadn't believed him. But now, with the evidence right before her eyes, Yan Xiaoan asked uncertainly, "Brother, so what you said before was true? Have you and Director Huan really been to all these shops in the drama?"

Yan Ze snorted: "What else?"

Yan Xiaoan came forward, rubbing his hands, and said enthusiastically: "Brother, are your shoulders sore? Let me massage your back for you?"

Facing Yan Ze's wary gaze, she leaned closer and said, "Next time you go out to explore a store, take me with you, okay?"

Yan Ze: ...Yan Xiaoan was thinking about Taozi. How depressed must he be to carry such a big light bulb.

In Huan Xu's comment section, the audience was also curious about the same question.

That is, in "It's Time to Eat", there are some supernatural existences, but there are also many real-life things that Director Huan added in, such as the faces of familiar actors and various venues.

In particular, some viewers who have been to the old kitchen found out Cai Shaoxian's identity and matched the last small town old kitchen with Cangtian Old Kitchen, a restaurant that inherits the traditional Daxia cuisine.

Some viewers who came here because of its reputation were surprised to find that the dishes were indeed delicious after tasting them.

Naturally, they began to wonder whether other stores had corresponding stores in reality. If so, they also wanted to go offline to taste those mouth-watering delicacies.

Huan Xu did not hide the fact that most of them had prototypes and were from shops that he and Yan Ze had confirmed to be of good quality. Some were from treasure shops that Yan Ze had discovered on his own, and some were introduced by their respective friends and were eaten at by the two of them when they went out together.

Some shops are already famous, but there are also some shops, like the prototype of the Shanxi noodle shop in the first episode, which are the type that even good wine needs no bush. The customers are all regulars, and the owner runs a small stall, carefully running the delicacies passed down from his ancestors.

It's not that there are no opportunities for expansion. Some wealthy gourmets have proposed cooperation. However, expanding the scale will inevitably involve the introduction of industrialized processes. After consideration, the boss wanted to stick to his original intention and the chef and boss who hand-tannied every portion of noodles refused.

For example, the bowl of longevity noodles on the promotional poster was the bowl of longevity noodles that Yan Ze ate when he came to celebrate Huan Xu's birthday on Haotian Star.

The longevity noodles were delicious, and similarly, the person who came from afar to celebrate Huan Xu's first birthday after his time travel was also very special.

Huan Xu unconsciously raised the corners of his lips as he thought of something. Well, it seemed that he and Yan Ze did spend most of their time eating when they went out. But it was not a big problem. Love and food were both not to be wasted.

On the one hand, it is indeed the netizens' speculation that such a film was made. At the beginning, Huan Xu had read the sub-health report and the higher ratio of variable stars than other stars. He had the idea that the audience of the film "Variable Stars" would occasionally take a break from work, enjoy food and enjoy life, so he filmed such a semi-promotional food-themed web drama.

The plot is very simple because his original intention is also simple.

The results seem to be pretty good so far.

On the other hand, it was a little selfish of Huan Xu. Works and films were the director's language, and perhaps it was a small, ambiguous test of Yan Ze.

Yan Ze's reaction was as adorable as ever, both reasonable and unexpected. He asked Huan Xu, "Is there anything else you want to eat?"

The other party did not show any rejection of the temptation that seemed to go beyond the scope of friendship, but instead seemed to accept it.

The more tolerant Yan Ze was, the more Huan Xu wanted to bully him and test his bottom line.

Will the other party continue to agree to whatever he says? If he makes an excessive request and no longer wants to be friends with the other party, but wants to take a further step, will the other party also nod without hesitation?

Huan Xu lowered his eyes and thought to himself, I can't bully people too much. I heard that Xiaoyan has a cold personality and is afraid of not only girls but boys as well. I should take it step by step and not scare the other party.

Moreover, enjoying the brief ambiguity and mutual pursuit before falling in love is also a novel and good first experience.

Huan Xu had no idea at the moment that in Yan Ze's view, the way they got along was not a pursuit at all, but clearly that of an old couple, they were lovers, the kind that were about to get married and start a lifetime together. If he didn't agree to what Huan Xu said, there would be something wrong with him.

After confirming that many of the restaurants where the director eats have prototypes, the audience is still not satisfied with it.

A new problem arises.

Director Huan said in person that these stores were discovered by him and his good friends, and he recommended them to everyone without cheating anyone.

Now that the plot is over, the audience suddenly has a small wish, which is for Director Huan to have a special episode.

Yes, it’s the extra.

Fans' imaginations run wild.

Director Huan said before that he didn’t want to be an actor, and they understood. But since it is adapted from Director Huan’s experience, that is to say, in the extra chapter, can Director Huan appear on camera and do a real eating show?

"Director, It's Time to Eat" is Director Huan's daily eating broadcast, which makes countless people accidentally gain a few pounds in a month. In the extra episode, Director Huan has a real eating broadcast offline. This feeling, which is like breaking the dimensional wall, is very interesting just thinking about it.

As soon as this comment was posted, it received countless likes from fans and was consciously sent to the front row.

Huan Xu raised an eyebrow and forwarded the comment to Yan Ze.

Huan Xu: "Everyone wants to watch us eating live, what do you say?"

The previous store was visited by the two of them together, and even when they were eating live, they would definitely appear together.

President Yan always responded to Huan Xu's messages immediately, to the point that Huan Xu suspected that the dignified Fenghuo CEO was slacking off every day: "I'll do as you say."

Of course, it is impossible to slack off. Huan Xu, who has seen Yan Ze's working state, knows that Yan Ze is very responsible for his work and the company, and he usually has to deal with a lot of documents.

So, you see, in this situation, Yan Ze can still respond to his messages in a timely manner every time, which makes it hard not to think too much.

That's right, he would want to eat grass in his own backyard. It must be Yan Ze's problem. Director Huan shamelessly shirked his responsibility.

Then the matter was settled.

And without making the audience wait too long, Huan Xu announced the time of the eating show on his own Xingbo.

This time, the store was chosen by Huan Xu, and Wu Qianying strongly recommended it as their own skewer bar.

Before, when Qin Dongxiao was building the pedestrian street for Director Huan, Wu Qianying, as another number one subordinate of Director Huan, was unwilling to lag behind. Although she did not have Qin Dongxiao's background and the status of a young master, she had accumulated a lot of savings during the filming process. At that time, she directly bought a shop on Weiyang Street and opened a specialty shop specializing in Beijing roast duck.

Later, she invited Director Huan to taste the master's cooking and received Director Huan's praise. It was as if her Ren and Du meridians were opened up, and she became more determined to make the catering industry bigger and stronger, and to provide Director Huan with the best quality and delicious food whenever he wanted to eat it.

To capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach. To become Director Huan's top general, Wu Qianying also chose to start with food.

After doing a lot of product research, Wu Qianying finally decided to focus on the traditional cuisine of the Xia Dynasty, from the initial roast duck to the later breakfast shops such as tofu pudding and fried dough sticks, and then to the current food stalls and skewer bars.

In addition, every time Director Huan has a new work released, or when there is a vote for Director Huan, and on every memorable day when Director Huan wins an award, the chain restaurants under Wu Qianying's name will hold large-scale promotions to celebrate.

Wu Qianying opened these stores not to make money. Her original intention has always been just two simple words, that is, to have fun, to make Director Huan happy, and to make the fans who like Director Huan happy!

As luck would have it, with the help of large-scale promotions, the boss's repeated instructions to employees to instill brand concepts, and the service staff's welcoming attitude, the restaurant group under Wu Qianying's name became popular in an unexpected way.

Late Night Food Bar is a charcoal barbecue themed chain restaurant newly opened by Wu Qianying.

There are three signature dishes, each from the hands of three chefs with 10 years of experience in the industry.

Chef Lu, with his high nose, deep eyes and slightly curly hair, grills Xinjiang lamb skewers whose aroma spreads from ten miles away.

Uncle Han is nearly fifty years old. On many nights, diners come to his shop just to have a bite of the fragrant and non-greasy pork loin that he grills himself.

Chef Qi, with his short hair, makes spicy crayfish with his family's secret recipe and is nicknamed the Lobster Xishi.

These are all top talents that Wu Qianying hired after spending a lot of money and effort.

The audience insisted that Huan Xu start the live broadcast, and he just happened to have received an invitation from Wu Qianying. It was better to be lucky than to be early. Huan Xu had indeed been craving for barbecue recently, so why was hesitating? Let's go.

Although the charm of barbecued skewers in food stalls lies in the hustle and bustle and the atmosphere of fireworks, considering the identities of Huan Xu and Yan Ze, and the fact that Huan Xu also accepted the audience's invitation, he would broadcast live for a while during the meal.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the skewer bar and avoid unnecessary trouble, Huan Xu and Yan Ze entered the store through the employee passage at the back door and went directly to the exclusive box reserved for them by Wu Qianying.

There is a special private room in every gourmet restaurant run by Wu Qianying, which only accommodates one guest.

That is Director Huan.

After setting up the microphone and camera, when Huan Xu posted the link to the live broadcast room under Xingbo, many fans immediately flocked to the newly opened live broadcast room.

[Ahhhh, Director Huan is really doing a food show! ]

Director Huan dotes on his fans so much. As a fan of Director Huan, I feel proud and happy. Hands on hips!

[Hey, guess where I am? That's right, I'm at a kebab shop near my house, watching the livestream and eating skewers at the same time, so I don't have to watch Director Huan eat by himself and roll on the floor with greed.]

[The sister above is so clever! Give me 3 minutes, I want to go to the skewers bar and eat skewers with Director Huan at the same time. To put it in perspective, I'm accompanying Director Huan on a live broadcast. We're on a date!]

[Wait, you did this on purpose, right?]

There was more than just Huan Xu in the live broadcast room. There was also a man sitting next to Director Huan, even though his head was covered with a big black dog's head mosaic that Huan Xu had set up in advance.

But in Director Huan’s circle of friends, everyone knew who this person was. After seeing the familiar domineering CEO outfit, especially since Director Huan had previously revealed the official spoilers, it was obvious who it was—the little assistant of the big black detective.

[Hahaha, Assistant Yan is you, right? ]

From Director Huan's perspective, compared to the distant and alienating title of General Fenghuo Xiaoyan, everyone prefers to call Yan Ze "Assistant Yan" from the "Detective Conan."

[Oh, it's you, my good friend Teacher Zy. When will you team up with our Director Huan again? The three brothers will return to the arena and reach the top.]

In addition to the identity of an assistant, after such a long time, the identities of the two big guys who were once sought after by the gaming industry and who led Cai Cai Huan to the top of the Grandmaster game with their sharp operations, accurate predictions and superb acting skills have finally been revealed by the persistent Grandmaster fans.

Far away, yet so close.

cg-little brother Gu, zy-good friend Mr. Yan.

Not to mention his younger brother, fans suddenly realized that Director Huan’s good friend Yan Ze had been his good friend for a long time.

If fans didn’t know that Mr. Yan is a sexually aloof and domineering boss, and that he and Director Huan are good brothers, they really wouldn’t be able to resist.

Huan Xu interacted with fans in the live broadcast room for a while. Seeing Yan Ze's identity was instantly decoded, Huan Xu:... Well, it's not really that surprising.

As for why a big black emoticon was added to Yan Ze's face, it was because Huan Xu took into consideration that although the two of them were having a meal, it was he who agreed to start a live broadcast for fans. As a director, he had shot many shots and was already familiar with the lenses. Yan Ze was different. Although he was the president of Fenghuo and had accepted many interviews, there were still some differences between official interviews and live broadcasts, especially eating broadcasts.

As for why his identity was guessed immediately, Director Huan said: What is the relationship between Assistant Yan with the big black emoticon and General Yan?

However, Huan Xu also saw that many fans in the live broadcast room were urging him to remove the emoticons and reveal Assistant Yan's handsome face.

Director Huan is so mean. He eats while looking at Assistant Yan's face, and we have to watch too.

[Yes, with Director Huan and Assistant Yan's beauty, I can show off my talent!]

I disagree with the debater above. Although I'm also looking forward to Assistant Yan showing up, he's handsome, but he's just too cold, especially when he's not smiling. But he can just balance things out with Director Huan, so I don't accidentally eat too much, hahaha.

[Really? Director Huan, please let your best friend appear on camera too. I still remember the last interview with the famous detective, where Assistant Yan kept trying to promote Director Huan. I look forward to Assistant Yan's wonderful performance today.]

Huan Xu flipped through the comments and saw that fans were calling for General Xiaoyan to make an appearance. After thinking for a moment, he tilted his head to look at Yan Ze. Yan Ze's attention was mostly on Huan Xu. Seeing this, he tilted his head closer to listen to what Huan Xu had to say to him.

Huan Xu naturally leaned closer and whispered in Yan Ze's ear, "Everyone wants Assistant Yan to appear on camera. What does Assistant Yan think? It's okay if you don't want to. There's no need to force it."

How could Yan Ze not agree!

He was just about to ask Huan Xu why he blocked his way. Could it be that Huan Xu thought Dahei was more handsome than him?

Now it seems that Huan Xu thinks he is better looking and is going to officially release some sweets with him!

Huan Xu saw Yan Ze nodding without hesitation, but he had no idea that Yan Ze was actually competing with Dahei in beauty.

The original owner had already agreed, and Huan Xu removed the mosaic after telling everyone in the live broadcast room.

[Oh oh oh, Assistant Yan shows up. ]

[Assistant Yan, hello to our Director Huan's good friend.]

Huan Xu asked Yan Ze to greet everyone in the live broadcast room and meet Huan Xu's fans. As Huan Xu's wife, Assistant Yan even smiled to show her friendliness and said warmly, "Hello everyone, I'm Yan Ze. Thank you for liking Director Huan."
