Chapter 221 Auntie and Popular Star

"Eat with peace of mind. It doesn't really matter if it's the restaurant we were looking for or not. We're comfortable and happy eating here, and we're willing to eat well. That's all that matters. It doesn't matter if we're on a mission or not, what matters is our mood!"

Food itself is about enjoying the process, and we get to experience this process, which is what matters most." Wu Lesheng smiled and instantly elevated the topic.

"That's right, Brother Sheng is right!" Dong Dongdong immediately clapped his hands, and everyone followed suit.

"By the way, the student you asked at noon was amazing. He was able to recommend a place so far away from Taiyuan Road, which takes an hour to drive! I really don't know how he got here. I almost cried when I saw the map!" Qin Zhichu said as she scooped a few big spoonfuls of fried pork with peppers.

"I thought your reaction was guessed! I saw your faces full of disbelief, and I said, hey, this is going to work, we must have found the right one!" Xuan Miaoqing laughed.

"We were in disbelief! The restaurant we were looking for was right nearby, but that guy told us to run for an hour to eat rice here! We were in agony because we had to find it again after eating and then run back to eat again!

But you know what, we really made the right choice here. It's so rare to find food that suits our taste, and everyone is enjoying it so much." Wu Lesheng also relaxed, scooping up the food with big spoonfuls.

"I was skeptical when I saw your reactions when I ordered the dishes, but I really believed it after tasting it! Although they were all recommended by passers-by, the previous ones felt like Internet celebrity restaurants. The atmosphere was there, but the taste was just so-so. It was a bit over-marketed, so I really thought this was the restaurant we were looking for." Xuan Miaoqing said frankly while gnawing on the tip of the braised chicken wings.

"Hahaha, I almost couldn't hold it in when ordering! The boss obviously didn't know anything, but somehow every word seemed to fit right. Then I saw the sign called Zhao Ji Rice, so I called the boss Sister Zhao. I didn't expect that I got it right again! You guys really believed it!" Qin Zhichu laughed.

“Why did we believe it? Because the keywords you gave us matched perfectly!

First, the boss’s appearance is as good as the dishes.

Second, the signature dish is the more expensive part of the pig

Third, it is related to the internal organs

Fourth, Angkor is a frequent visitor to the store

I thought, “Isn’t this all right?” Dong Dongdong slapped his thigh and complained, and everyone laughed again.

"Delicious, so refreshing!" Qin Zhichu finished the small half bowl of fried pork with peppers while talking and laughing, and now she started to scoop up the stir-fried beef with a spoon.

"Mmm~ the chili is delicious!"

“The beef is amazing!”

“The beef chili is great too!”

“Hey, delicious!”

"Not bad!"

Wu Lesheng and Qin Zhichu started to show off as if a switch had been turned on. They kept exclaiming in admiration while continuously reaching their spoons into the bowls to scoop rice. Before they knew it, they had emptied the plates of stir-fried beef in front of them.

"No, where do you two have such appetites? Don't you have small appetites? Didn't you couldn't eat just now?" Dong Dongdong was stunned, looking at the two of them with faces full of questions.

Qin Zhichu chuckled and turned her attention to the pork trotter rice, while giving Dong Dongdong a look that looked like he was an idiot.

"It's true that I have a small appetite, but I can't eat because I know that each of you has found the wrong place. After eating at this one, we have to eat at the next one! How dare we eat to our heart's content? Didn't you see that I didn't even dare to drink just now? Come on, Miaoqing, let's have one!" Wu Lesheng raised his glass with a smile, and like Xuan Miaoqing, he drank half of it in one gulp.

After a while, the situation changed from the beginning where Xuan Miaoqing and Dong Dongdong were laughing foolishly the whole time, eating and drinking with open appetites, and Wu Lesheng and Qin Zhichu were watching; to Wu Lesheng and Qin Zhichu completely relaxed, bursting with fighting power and coming from behind, leaving Xuan Miaoqing and Dong Dongdong dumbfounded.

Qin Zhichu and Dong Dongdong had low alcohol tolerance. One drank a glass of white wine, and the other drank two glasses, then said goodbye to the party and ate in silence. However, Wu Lesheng and Xuan Miaoqing were in high spirits. They continued to drink while eating, and the topic of conversation became more and more in-depth.

The two debuted at the same time and worked together when Xuan Miaoqing was at the peak of her popularity. After that, the two established a friendship and have been in intermittent contact. They can be considered old friends for more than ten years.

The two talked about how Xuan Miaoqing became an overnight sensation after participating in the competition, but then fell into obscurity. They also talked about how Wu Lesheng once went to Xuan Miaoqing's city for a shoot a few years ago and asked her out for dinner, but was secretly photographed by paparazzi. The headline of the report was "Shocking, popular star Wu Lesheng secretly met with an elderly woman in broad daylight, suspected to be the financial backer behind her." As soon as they opened their mouths, they talked about the vicissitudes of life over the past decade.

By the end of the conversation, the four of them had tears in their eyes. Wu Lesheng was even more emotional as he wiped away his tears and talked with the other two young people about Xuan Miaoqing's efforts behind the scenes. Also, it was because the two originally scheduled and alternative female guests had stood up for the variety show that the director began to consider Xuan Miaoqing, whom he had recommended at the beginning, which led to this collaboration.

The atmosphere was too melancholy by the end, and Xuan Miaoqing, with her carefree nature, didn't want to continue playing the victim. She waved her hand with a look of disdain. "Alright, alright, alright, I'm just not popular, but I'm an eyesore here! If you keep going, tomorrow's report will be 'A middle-aged woman plays the victim on the street, and three popular stars burst into tears!'"

The three of them wiped away their tears and burst into laughter.

At this point in the episode, there are many highlights that can be seen with the naked eye. The director's eyes are becoming more and more excited as he stares at the camera. He is still full of energy after being busy for a whole afternoon.

Zhao Xiaojing behind him was also becoming more and more excited, because as the four of them chatted and drank, the food came out very quickly, and the mission was almost completed!

The stars chatted for too long, so Wu Kaile had to heat up the meal again. Although the taste was definitely worse than before, by the end of the meal, the stars were no longer eating for the taste, but for the atmosphere of drinking with the food.

Therefore, the dishes in the four rice bowls were almost all gone, leaving only the rice on top and some braised side dishes.

If Wu Lesheng hadn't ordered a few more braised dishes to go with the wine, Zhao Xiaojing's mission would have been completed by now.

But it doesn’t matter, now we only have the last 3% left!

"Sister, I'm sorry to bother you. You have to accompany us and we can't get off work. Let's have a drink together!" Zhao Xiaojing was staring at the progress backstage, and Xuan Miaoqing waved and raised her glass to them.

It was already 3:30 in the afternoon, and besides the celebrities, there were still a few spectators inside, making cleaning difficult. Plus, since they were so close, listening to the celebrities' conversation was quite entertaining. After the six of us finished our meal, not one of us mentioned going home for a break; we all just sat there, watching with a look of deep emotion on our faces.

"It's not a bother, Sister Qing. You can drink until tomorrow if you want!" Su Yuchen replied with red eyes. Several people hurriedly brought up their tea cups and raised their glasses to Xuan Miaoqing.
