The two of them got ready very quickly, finishing their washing and grooming in ten minutes.

The hotel is only a ten-minute walk from Ark Film City.

When they arrived at the film crew's dressing room, it was not yet five o'clock.

It was very dark, but the place was quite lively.

A new four-corner canopy has been built at the entrance of this building.

Two tables were placed on either side of the shed.

A passage was left in the middle, and two warning lines were set up with red rope.

A red carpet was laid out on the ground, apparently as a place for celebrities to walk after getting out of their cars.

The paparazzi and fans lined up outside the cordon to wait.

Qin Yi parked the car and saw from afar that Brother Jingtian had taken up a seat in the first row under the tent, surrounded by some colleagues and fans who looked very young.

Qin Yi led Zhuang Qing over to greet them.

She patted Jing Tian's shoulder lightly: "Big brother, why are you here so early? Doesn't makeup start at six o'clock? Did you come to reserve a spot around four o'clock?"

Jing Tian turned around and saw Qin Yi, and immediately smiled broadly: "It's been a long time, Boss Qin! The early bird catches the worm! Our industry is getting more and more competitive these days. We live-stream makeup photographers are okay, we just have to get up early. Some of our colleagues have already started carrying 8x scopes, climbing trees, scaling cliffs, and using all sorts of methods to film the makeup and costumes on set."

Zhuang Qing opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Huh? That's too exaggerated. The crew must hate it when something like that happens."

The younger sister, Jing Tianchao, nodded in agreement: "That's right. We won't do anything too outrageous. We can just take pictures of celebrities in their makeup and increase their exposure within reasonable limits. It's a win-win situation."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Qing asked with great interest, "Brother, do you have any autographed photos of Zi Xuan here? Can I buy one?"

"Hey! I don't have Zixuan's autographed photo, but I have a lot of pictures. You can pick any you like from my bag. I'll give you one! After all, you're one of Boss Qin's people!"

"Ah! Is it really okay?" Zhuang Qing asked Qin Yi.

"Take it, it's fine. Brother Jingtian may not have much else, but he has a lot of photos. If he comes to buy food later, remember to pack him a lot," Qin Yi said with a smile.

"Hey! What delicious food is Boss Qin selling this time?" Jing Tian asked.

"My sister is now selling intangible cultural heritage foods! Twenty kinds of intangible cultural heritage blind boxes! Each one is a treasure-like skill on its own!" Zhuang Qing introduced with a proud tone.

"Wow! Has Boss Qin reached such a high level now? Is it very expensive?" Jing Tian still remembered the 200 yuan cake roll and hoped that the price would be more reasonable.

Zhuang Qing continued, "Intangible cultural heritage food, donations are welcome! Give as much as you like!"

"Won't that result in a loss? What if you only give one or two dollars to customers who want to take advantage?"

"Yes, but very rarely! Usually, only one or two such oddballs appear out of hundreds of customers! Most people pay according to their own level of satisfaction, usually a little higher than the market price. Yesterday, there was a wealthy man who was so happy with his meal that he paid 9,999 yuan for four dishes for my sister. He said he strongly supports Rainbow City's intangible cultural heritage food and hopes that my sister will continue to do it and pass it on so that more people in this society can enjoy intangible cultural heritage food."

"That's right! With Mr. Qin's skills, most customers must be satisfied. Now that you've made me really want to eat there, what time do you open?"

Qin Yi checked the time and said to Jing Tian, ​​"Let's wait another half hour. I'll get everything ready, and I'll have Xiao Qing come find you when we open for business."

...

Half an hour later.

"Ah! Jiang Yuze, I love you!"

"Brother Yuze, look this way!"

Jiang Yuze paused for a moment after getting out of the car.

He remains very sensitive to the smell of food.

Today, the air is filled with all sorts of fragrances I've never smelled before.

He closed his eyes and pondered carefully: there was the smell of beef, the smell of chili, the fragrance of flowers, and various other aromas that he couldn't smell. Where were these aromas coming from so early in the morning?

Jiang Yuze looked around and discovered a golden dragon boat he had never seen before in a corner. Hot smoke was coming from the pavilion in the center of the dragon boat from all directions, and it seemed that the smell was coming from there.

I'll have my assistant buy one for me to try later.

Jiang Yuze had just stepped into the film crew's makeup building when Zi Xuan's nanny van arrived at the scene.

As soon as Zixuan got out of the car, the fans got excited.

"Zixuan, Mommy loves you! Remember to wear more layers!"

"Zixuan, my wife, will you accept a marriage proposal? I'm a crazy soldier."

"I am a cat soldier!"

"I miss you so much I could die!"

Zixuan was amused by her fans: "Why do you even have an accent?"

Instead of going directly into the film crew's makeup building, she walked towards a modified dragon boat stall in the corner.

As she walked to her car, enthusiastic fans surrounded her, asking curiously, "Zixuan, what are you buying here?"

Zixuan looked at the billboard next to her and said with a smile, "I'm here to buy flower soldiers!"

"Hey! Boss, come out and do business! A big celebrity has come to your shop to buy something!"

Zhuang Qing and Qin Yi were preparing ingredients in the kitchen when they heard someone shouting outside, so they quickly came to the front of the carriage.

"My goodness, you look a bit like a celebrity!" Zhuang Qing could hardly believe her eyes.

Zi Xuan smiled and said, "Little girl, then tell me who I look like."

Zhuang Qing rubbed her eyes hard again, staring intently at the snow-white-skinned beauty in front of her, and said, "You...you...you look like the big star Zi Xuan from TV!"

"Silly boy! That's Zixuan! Aren't you happy and excited!"

The fans cheered from behind.

Zhuang Qing felt her legs were about to give way. It was only her first day out of the ancient town, and her favorite celebrity was already in front of her. The outside world was just too amazing!

Qin Yi quickly helped Zhuang Qing up and nodded to Zi Xuan: "Sister Zi Xuan, please excuse me! This is my new little sister, and she especially likes the TV series you act in."

She took a photo out of Zhuang Qing's pocket and handed it to Zi Xuan, saying, "My little sister said that if she could have a signed photo of you, she would be the happiest child in the world."

Zixuan took a pen from Qin Yi at the front desk, quickly signed her name, and handed it to her. "Oh! It's nothing. To make a long story short, I have to rush to get my makeup done."

"I'm here to buy delicious breakfast from you. I understand the advertisement. There are twenty kinds of intangible cultural heritage foods, right? I'll order two hundred portions. One hundred portions will be delivered to the dressing room on the second floor, and the other one hundred portions will be delivered to the lobby on the first floor for my fans to have breakfast."

Qin Yi immediately received a transfer of 20,000 yuan on her phone. She glanced at it and quickly said, "Sister Zixuan, you've given me a bit too much."

"It's okay, I think I can win two boxes of flower cakes from these two hundred draws, right? Just bring the flower cakes to me then."

[The dressing room of the "Drunken World" drama crew]

Jiang Yuze's assistant has already gone downstairs to the dragon boat intangible cultural heritage food shop twice, and each time the owner said he was busy and that he could only order later.

Yu Ze hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and his facial expression was already very stiff. There seemed to be a chill emanating from him, making people afraid to approach.

"Still no food?" Jiang Yuze sat on a stool as the makeup artist did his eyebrows.

"No, the boss is still busy," the assistant replied cautiously.

Jiang Yuze tried to stay calm and carefully considered what other foods he liked to eat to tide him over.

"Where's yesterday's cake roll?"

"You brought it home to eat last night, Yuze-ge, have you forgotten?"

"Sigh..." Jiang Yuze sighed deeply, "I'd better stay hungry and eat at noon."

The assistant's forehead was sweating.

At this moment, Zixuan changed into her costume and entered the dressing room.

She placed a bag on the table next to Jiang Yuze.

"I'm sharing this intangible cultural heritage flower cake with you so you can try it."

After saying that, she turned around and went back to her dressing table.

As Jiang Yuze smelled the faint floral fragrance in the air, his face slowly began to flush.

In the past two months, the relationships among his colleagues on set have gotten better and better, and he got a membership card at Zixuan's cake shop.

Zixuan often brings cakes over herself, and they often share delicious desserts with each other, becoming "sweet buddies".

Now, whenever he eats something delicious outside, he always thinks of taking a picture to show Zixuan, thinking that he will definitely bring her over to try it sometime.

"Brother Yuze, shall I open the package and give you some to eat now?" the assistant asked from the side.

Jiang Yuze's thoughts were immediately pulled back. "Well, you should take a couple to tide you over."

The assistant quickly declined, saying, "I just heard from the staff that Sister Zixuan bought a hundred portions of intangible cultural heritage food, which are on their way. I'll eat with everyone, and you can enjoy this flower cake by yourself."

The assistant opened the box for Jiang Yuze and then slipped away, wanting to be a perceptive working person!

Jiang Yuze tore open the plastic wrap of the flower cake and took a small bite.

This pancake!

The exterior is made of layers of flaky, flaky pastry, while the filling is soft and sweet rose petal jam.

Three parts crust, seven parts filling! The sweetness is just right!

Jiang Yuze couldn't resist taking the last of the flower cakes in his hand and chewing them in one bite.

The rich floral fragrance spread in his mouth, and even his nasal cavity was filled with the initially strong, then refreshing rose scent.

This cake is sweet but not cloying and has a wonderful floral aroma. It's really well made. I wonder which bakery it's from?

Jiang Yuze rummaged through the packaging bag containing the flower cakes and found only a black card inside. He took it out and saw several lines of small print on it.

No. 520, Intangible Cultural Heritage Food - Flower Cake.

Once upon a time, there was a young scholar who came from a poor family but was exceptionally talented. A beautiful young woman was attracted by his talent and fell in love with him. To express her feelings, she made flower cakes as a token of her love and gave them to the scholar.

After seeing the card, Jiang Yuze turned as red as a steamed shrimp.

His heart was pounding, and he kept stealing glances at Zixuan, who was putting on makeup.

How can a flower cake touch the heart if it doesn't warm the stomach?

What did she mean by giving me this cake?

Did the boss put this card in, or did Zixuan put it in?

Jiang Yuze ate the flower cake with his heart pounding.

With each bite, I silently recited a phrase in my mind.

"She put it there, the boss put it there, she put it there, the boss put it there..."
