Chapter 215 Stars? Crew?

As for the remaining three dishes...

Stir-fried pork with chili peppers has been approved by the system teacher. Since it was added to the menu, sales have been good and the order volume is very stable, so it is natural to keep it.

Stir-fried pork liver and stir-fried beef are Zhao Xiaojing's masterpieces after she mastered the art of cooking. With precise heat and seasoning, she has brought the two dishes to perfection. Their sales are comparable to those of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, so they also have to be reserved.

Four courses was an easy fix.

However, pig liver is an internal organ, and many people would avoid eating it. Zhao Xiaojing thought about it and left an extra portion of three fresh vegetables as a backup.

If all else fails, there are always hot dishes, such as braised spare ribs, beef brisket with potatoes, and chicken with mushrooms. These are all cooked in the morning for the entire day. When they are almost done, the evening portion is served in advance. The lunch portion is simmered over low heat to collect the juice, so it is always hot when the guests eat it.

Zhao Xiaojing directly took the three prepared dishes that she wanted to reserve and put them in the refrigerator.

As for when it would be needed and when the mysterious guest would arrive, Zhao Xiaojing was full of curiosity at first. She would think about it from time to time and check the time in her heart, looking forward to it.

Later, the kitchen became busy and was overwhelmed with orders for takeout and dine-in. Zhao Xiaojing had forgotten about this matter in the busyness.

"Sister, one serving of stir-fried minced meat with spicy vegetables. Brother, one serving of twice-cooked pork." Wu Kaile had left an afterimage after running back and forth, and when he came in again, he had collected eight plates in his hands at the same time.

"Okay, this spicy dish is finished. Tell Dandan!" Zhao Xiaojing gave instructions quickly. She just took the spicy dish and minced meat out of the pot, turned around, heated the pot again, poured oil into it, and put the minced meat into the pot.

I originally thought that not many people would eat spicy vegetables, which have a slightly unique taste, so I only bought ten kilograms. Unexpectedly, they were quite popular, and her prepared vegetables were almost used up not long after she opened.

Not all of it was consumed, though. There was still one portion left, but Zhao Xiaojing wanted to save it for Chen Huiping and Wang Jiandang. She didn't know if they would come over today, but she wanted to be prepared. If they didn't, she could leave some for herself. She'd been so busy since returning that she hadn't even practiced this dish in virtual space. She'd just cooked it based on her instincts and her previous knowledge of the dish, and she hadn't even had it herself.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, all the prepared dishes were sold out. Zhao Xiaojing took out the spicy dishes and the braised chicken with mushrooms that she had reserved for her family, while feeling worried.

It's almost closing time, so where's the promised secret guest? Is there a system error? Could he be arriving in the evening? Why not keep the three prepared dishes fresh for dinner and cook the ones left over from lunch for yourself?

Zhao Xiaojing was reaching for the refrigerator when screams and noise came from the front hall.

"Sister, Ming, the star! The crew! Wu Lesheng!" Wu Kaile hurried over, staring at Zhao Xiaojing in disbelief.

Wu Lesheng?

Zhao Xiaojing raised her eyebrows in confusion, turned around with a little surprise and walked towards the front hall.

Wu Lesheng is a pretty big star, having debuted for about twenty years now. He's acted in countless movies and TV series, and in recent years has gradually shifted to variety shows. Although he's in his forties, his popularity remains undiminished. He's a talented actor, and several of his dramas and variety shows have gone viral.

No way! The mystery guest was actually a star from the show? Or a big shot like Wu Lesheng? Why would a star of that caliber come to a small shop like hers?

Zhao Xiaojing was surprised and slightly disappointed. She'd thought this was some low-key foodie who'd rekindled some long-lost memories by eating her food, and was so excited he'd teach her a trick or two! This...

"Chu Chu, look here! Which zone is your King of Pesticides in?!" Just as he was about to enter the front hall, he heard an uncontrolled scream that was so loud that it was hard to tell whether it was male or female.

At the same time, there was also a female voice that was so loud and powerful that it sounded like a quarrel, "Brother Sheng!! Get married!! They are all after your fame, only I am after your body!!", and a male voice that was so coquettish, "Dong Dongdong! You are so handsome!! Can you be my husband?", as well as bursts of laughter from time to time and more inaudible discussions.

Zhao Xiaojing's scalp tingled as she lifted the door curtain. As soon as she did so, she saw a group of cameramen armed with long guns, bird cannons, and various professional equipment distributed in every corner of the store, shooting from different directions the four stars who were sitting in the center of the store.

The four stars were looking at the menu, and Ouyang Yidan was pouring water for them with a happy look on his face.

Several tables of customers in the restaurant who had not finished their meals stopped eating and stared with their phones, taking pictures of the four people non-stop. There was also a dense group of passers-by gathered outside the restaurant. They were stopped at the door but still took pictures and shouted excitedly.

Zhao Xiaojing suddenly felt a little nervous. It turned out that a star had really come. She knew the two people in front of her and had seen them on TV.

One is Dong Dongdong, a comedian who has become very popular in recent years. Whenever you open your phone, you can always see his jokes intentionally or unintentionally. When Zhao Xiaojing was still working for an unscrupulous boss, she often followed the comedy variety shows he participated in.

A Xuan Miaoqing became famous very early. She won the first place in a singing competition when Zhao Xiaojing was in junior high school. However, her fame reached its peak. After releasing a few songs, the songs became popular but she herself was not, and she was gradually forgotten. I don't know how she was recruited here?

The other two had their backs to her. One was definitely Wu Lesheng, and the other was a very young-looking girl whom Zhao Xiaojing couldn't recognize.

"Mirror, Wu Lesheng, Qin Zhichu, Dong Dongdong, Xuan Miaoqing, do you recognize them?

They were filming a food variety show, and I happened to come here after being pointed out by a passerby. This is the crew's logistics guy. I just spoke to him and explained the current situation in the kitchen. He asked if he could prepare the food and cook it right away.

Is it too late for us to prepare the food now? "Su Yuchen saw Zhao Xiaojing coming out and hurriedly came over to ask in a low voice. There was also a big brother wearing a vest and with a serious face, who was also looking at Zhao Xiaojing waiting for an answer.

It turned out that the young girl who was not recognized was Qin Zhichu. Only then did Zhao Xiaojing completely understand the lineup of the four mysterious guests.

Qin Zhichu is a new and popular star. She debuted on Chuang 2020 three years ago. She is a singer by profession, but later became popular by live streaming her gaming. In the past two years, she also participated in the King of Glory competition with her team. Zhao Xiaojing has heard of her name many times, but did not pay much attention to her because her name and appearance did not match.

"There's still food, I..."

"Sister Jing!" Zhao Xiaojing nodded. Just as she opened her mouth, Ouyang Yidan, who was entertaining several celebrities in front, suddenly turned around and waved at her. "Brother Dong, this is our boss and our head chef. Let her talk to you directly!"

As soon as Ouyang Yidan finished speaking, the vest brother who followed Su Yuchen quickly moved to the side, and several photographers carrying cameras pointed their cameras at Zhao Xiaojing.
