Chapter 127
Even if they can't eat it, it can't stop the audience from watching the movie.
In response, the stubborn audience said:
【I just want to see how delicious it can be. 】
Even a man of steel couldn't help but express his weakness: [I strongly recommend this with tears in my eyes. This is definitely a masterpiece that will strengthen your will!]
At the Yan family, Yan Xiaoan was also very greedy. She tried to hold back but still couldn't. She thought to herself: It's just one meal, just one meal. At worst, she can run an extra ten kilometers tomorrow to burn off the fat.
The evil hand touched the optical computer, and after a series of operations, until the page showed that the merchant accepted the order, Yan Xiaoan finally let go of his hanging heart. Feeling guilty but satisfied, he said he had no regrets.
Looking at the distance of the takeaway, Yan Xiaoan tiptoed downstairs.
As a result, she soon ran into her grandfather who said he was going to get some water but sat on the sofa after drinking the water and refused to move. Her sister Meimei, after going downstairs and seeing that her excuse of being thirsty had been used by the old man, immediately changed her excuse and said she couldn't sleep and came out for a walk.
Yan Xiaoan: “…”
At this time, Yan Xiaoan had already guessed something.
Soon, my dad also came downstairs, and he was more direct and came clean, not pretending anymore.
Dad and Mom were also watching the director's premiere in the bedroom. They got hungry while watching and were waiting for the takeout to be delivered to their door.
Father Yan glanced at the greedy Yan Xiaoan and said cautiously, "If you want to eat, go buy it yourself." He was going to share this portion with his wife.
Yan Xiaoan:... Humph, I don’t want it. She has one already.
As expected, when the takeaway arrived, Yan Xiaoan received a string of lunch boxes. After the delivery robot with a heavy bag on its back put down the Yan family's takeaway, it hurriedly flew deeper into the villa area. Yan Xiaoan noticed with his sharp eyes that there were several midnight snacks with the same lunch box logo in the takeaway robot's backpack.
There is only one noodle restaurant nearby that has the best reviews, so the order must be delicious. Yan Xiaoan can already imagine the beautiful scene of the whole community being shrouded in the aroma of knife-cut noodles tonight.
At this moment, the Yan family has gathered in the living room again. If one person eats alone, he is eating alone. Everyone secretly orders takeout, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.
We just happened to have a table together, so let’s eat together and wait for the second episode to start.
There was a bowl of noodles neatly placed in front of each family member, even little Doudou had a small bowl of children's meal in front of him, with one exception.
Mother Yan looked at her son, who had nothing in front of him and looked so obedient that he didn't even know how to secretly order takeout. She felt a little distressed.
"Shuai Shuai, Mommy can't eat so much, how about we share a bowl?"
Yan Xiaoan also said with a smile: "Brother, if you can comfort me, I will give you some."
Yan Shuaishuai glanced at Yan Xiaoan, who was almost unable to hide his fox tail and must be counting on the many rare souvenirs Huan Xu gave him in his small treasury, and snorted noblely: "No need."
Although her plan was exposed, Yan Xiaoan sighed and said, "You don't have to be so stingy. I'll just give it to you. I'm a good sister, don't I?"
Little Doudou also raised his hand: "Give Doudou's share to uncle, too."
"Thank you, Doudou. Doudou, please eat it. Your uncle doesn't need any more." Yan Ze raised his hand and rubbed Doudou's little head with a gentle expression.
"Ah, how about uncle help Doudou eat something?" The little guy was still a little disappointed and plotted loudly: "I want to save some space in my stomach. If there is anything else delicious later, we can continue to order."
The Yan family: ...It turns out Doudou didn’t really want to feed his uncle, but was still thinking about the midnight snack later.
Yan Meimei tied a small apron on the child with a helpless smile. Staying up late to watch online dramas and eating midnight snacks was already an exception, but the child still wanted to continue eating. The child was dreaming.
"I'm full, digesting the food, it's time to go to bed. We can enjoy the remaining delicious food from the two episodes tomorrow during the day."
Doudou was clearly still unwilling to give in, and tried to convince everyone: "But, tomorrow my aunt will introduce other delicious foods to Doudou. Mom, you taught Doudou that today's work should be finished today, so today's delicious food should be eaten today, and tomorrow's delicious food should be eaten tomorrow night, right? And we can save all of them for tomorrow. Three delicious foods, what a luxury!"
The little guy learned an advanced vocabulary from somewhere.
Yan Meimei: “…” You’re still thinking about eating it tomorrow night, Doudou, you’re getting carried away.
Yan Meimei: "No, tomorrow's delicious food will be eaten the day after tomorrow. Also, don't forget, starting tomorrow there will only be one episode a day, and each episode will have one delicious food. The landlord's food reserves are running low."
Doudou:……!
Yan Xiaoan blew away the steam from the noodle soup, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, waved it in front of Yan Ze, and then stuffed it into his mouth. While chewing, he mumbled in a hazy voice, "It's delicious, delicious. Brother, don't you want some?"
Yan Ze: "No thanks."
Knowing that his family was doing this for his own good, Yan Ze simply told the truth.
His well-defined chin lifted slightly in a proud arc, and Yan Ze deliberately spoke in a calm and normal tone: "I've already eaten."
Yan family:?
Yan Ze continued indifferently, but the corners of his lips, which had already been raised wildly, betrayed his current mood. "The store in the play has a real prototype. A few days ago, when I visited Xuantianxing to visit the set, we also stopped by an old store and had knife-cut noodles."
Although Yan Ze did not say it explicitly, the Yan family had already heard the implication of his words. He was showing off to them, and even had a sense of pride, as if he was saying to everyone: Look, this is a drama that Huan Xu filmed specifically to commemorate the date.
Haha. Of course, the Yan family doesn't believe that this is a drama made for commemoration. As for Yan Shuaishuai who thinks too much, just be happy.
Forget about the knife-cut noodles and go hungry!
The second and third episodes of "Director, It's Time to Eat" were released one after another. The second episode tells the story of a filming process. As noon approaches and hunger strikes, Director Heng once again feels the call of duty. What else is there to say? Put down everything you are doing and eat, eat, eat!
Hengyi paused slightly when passing by the office area. During lunch break, many employees were still working overtime to complete the tasks at hand, or relaxing by browsing their laptops. However, most people chose a nutritional paste that was convenient, fast, and tasted decent. Very few people chose to have a good meal.
Hengyi was one of these people before, and he didn't think there was anything wrong. But now he has an inexplicable strange feeling. Although he was forced to leave the office and go out to find food, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. It's time to eat well!
What is the purpose of work? Isn’t it to make money and then enjoy life better?
Isn’t today’s society a bit upside down?
We are busy with work and striving for success, but we have to try our best to compress the time for the most common daily activities such as eating and drinking.
A simple thought flashed through his mind, the elevator arrived, and Hengyi began his journey of finding food.
Follow the scent again and move forward!
This time, the restaurant visited by gourmet Heng Yi was not a small restaurant in a remote alley, but a chain hot pot restaurant. There were neither too many nor too few people in the hot pot restaurant. There was a university town near the hot pot restaurant, and many of the people who came out to eat at noon were young and beautiful college students.
In addition, there are some families gathered around the table, but it is rare to see business elites in suits and ties. After all, the taste of hot pot soup is quite strong and it is easy to get it on your body. Due to its special nature, although the takeaway business has been opened, there are obviously not many orders.
There are also booths for singles in the store.
Hengyi sat down in front of a single chair.
I quickly glanced at the menu. Next to me were two young couples. The boy, obviously a regular, recommended something to the girl: "You can choose a double hot pot for just one person. Their Hell Spicy Red Oil Hot Pot and Tomato Hot Pot are the best. Really, absolutely amazing."
Hengyi silently withdrew his ears, quickly checked the box on the computer screen, and decided to have a double-flavored hot pot, with red oil on one side and tomatoes on the other.
[Hahaha, if you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you'll suffer the consequences. There's nothing wrong with following the footsteps of those who have walked before you.]
I can't help but feel for you. I'm the same way. When I don't know what to eat, I just watch what others order. I'm sure I can't go wrong with what everyone else orders.
I just barely managed to resist the temptation of sliced noodles, but Director Huan now brings out the killer hot pot. My mouth is watering again. He's going to force me to eat something tonight, right?
[Shh, shabu-shabu hotpot! The red oil looks spicy and numbing, and I can already imagine the sweet and sour taste of the tomato hotpot. Slurp.]
The soup base came up quickly, and the small pot was placed on the electromagnetic induction position to heat it. As the pot boiled, gurgling bubbles emerged from the soup and the fragrance spread.
The red oil pot on the right, the boiling soup base is swirling with bright red oil, and the bright red oil surface exudes an attractive aroma, stimulating everyone who craves spicy and delicious taste.
The tomato pot bottom on the left is a rich light red that is crystal clear. Bright red tomato chunks and a few strands of green are swirling in the pot. The soup is still red, and in contrast to the red oil pot, it is bright red and refreshing without being greasy.
As the side dishes ordered by Hengyi were served one by one, there were fresh lamb, tender and chewy shrimp balls, crispy and springy tripe, juicy beef balls, and various mushrooms and vegetables.
Hengyi made the swallowing motion again, what a joke!
Hengyi put the lamb into the bottom of the red oil pot. The ingredients rolled and jumped in the boiling red oil, and were instantly soaked. After a few seconds, they were fished out at the most tender moment.
There were two sauce dishes in front of Hengyi, one was the hot pot restaurant's secret sesame sauce base, and the other was Hengyi's own oil sauce, both of which were prepared while waiting for the pot to boil.
However, Hengyi did not try to dip the lamb into the sauce when he took his first bite. Instead, he prepared to experience the flavor of the ingredients themselves and savor the secret soup of the hot pot restaurant.
The meat slices soaked in red oil become spicy, fresh and fragrant, with a rich and full taste. The spiciness of the red oil hot pot is the kind that hits the soul directly, but there is a hint of sweetness in the spiciness.
In addition to being spicy, red oil hot pot also has its unique fragrance. One bite is like taking a taste adventure.
Hengyi half-closed his eyes, obviously enjoying that unique satisfaction.
[The actors’ acting is so good, you can’t see any trace of acting, it’s delicious just looking at it ww]
[Maybe this is just a true expression of her feelings. The protagonists of food dramas are so lucky! Filming is secondary; the main thing is being able to eat all the delicious food in the world!]
[I can earn money and eat delicious food at will. I am so greedy. No, I am so envious that I am crying.]
Hengyi prepared another portion of tripe with his chopsticks, this time using the classic Sichuan combination of red oil and oil sauce.
The most important ingredient in the oil dip is definitely sesame oil. Add oyster sauce, minced garlic, chopped green onion, coriander, and chopped chili pepper in proportion, stir slightly to allow each ingredient to fully blend, and let it sink to the bottom as it stands still. It looks clear in color and smells fragrant.
Gently dip the tripe into the carefully prepared oil dish, and the surface of the tripe will be quickly coated with a thin layer of sesame oil and seasoning.
With one sip, the first thing that exploded was the rich aroma and smoothness brought by the sesame oil, followed by the spicy and fresh aroma of the red oil hot pot gradually emerging, from the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue, and then spreading along the esophagus to the stomach. The warmth and stimulation, along with the painful and happy satisfaction that Director Heng unconsciously expressed, was conveyed to everyone outside the screen.
At the same time, the spiciness of mashed garlic, the fragrance of chopped green onions, the freshness of coriander, and the sour and sweet taste of a little vinegar and soy sauce are intertwined in the mouth, creating a complex and wonderful taste. It retains the original flavor of the hot pot and adds a bit of delicacy and aftertaste.
It can not only relieve greasiness and enhance flavor, but also slightly alleviate the spiciness of the hot pot. In summary, the tripe dipped in oil has a more distinct taste and is even more delicious.
Ahhh, I can almost imagine the excitement and aroma of the red oil exploding in my mouth!
The tough guy is in tears. He's almost losing control of his hands as he orders takeout. Am I going to fail over a tiny pot of red oil?
[Report, this is just the beginning. Take a bite of the spicy red oil, then a bite of the sour and sweet tomato, and alternate between the two. If I don't eat until I can't walk, I lose!]
On the screen, Hengyi indeed turned his gaze towards the tomato pot bottom that was waiting to be favored, churning and tempting people with its aroma.
The baby cabbage and the mushrooms that had been added earlier have been given new life in the hot soup.
Pick up a shiitake mushroom, and the sweet and sour taste slides across the tip of your tongue, which is both fresh and rich. Combined with the fresh fragrance of the shiitake mushroom itself, it complements each other. The hustle and bustle and troubles of the outside world seem to be forgotten in this bite.
Dipping it in sesame sauce gives it a different flavor.
Soon the dishes on the table were "cleaned" away, and the second episode ended with Hengyi looking happy and satisfied.
In the third episode, Director Heng, who was out on a field trip, came across a Thai restaurant. Heng Yi once again followed the others and ordered a signature Thai curry rice and a chicken stewed in coconut soup.
Because it was a restaurant near a tourist attraction and it was dinner time, there were still many diners. Hengyi waited for a while before it was his turn to be served. During this time, although he had not yet eaten the food, he could smell the aroma coming from the table next to him. When he saw the satisfied expressions on the faces of other diners, Hengyi and the audience knew that he had found the right place again and that the food in this restaurant must be very good.
Amidst the protests of hunger, the food was finally served and Hengyi could begin his meal journey.
First up is the signature curry chicken rice. The bright orange-yellow curry next to the rice is like tropical sunshine, and the green dots add a touch of freshness.
Mix the curry and rice evenly, scoop up a large spoonful, and each grain of rice in the spoon is fully coated with the rich curry sauce, with an attractive luster that makes people can't wait to swallow it in one bite.
A special aroma invades the mouth, the spiciness of curry is mixed with the smoothness and sweetness of coconut milk, blending the freshness of lemon leaves, the fragrance of lemongrass and the mellowness of curry, and interweaving with the warmth of rice, instantly leading director Heng and the audience to travel through the distant streets of Thailand to feel the warmth and romance of exotic customs.
Occasionally eating a piece of soft and sticky vegetable or tender diced chicken is a different scenery that you can enjoy along the way.
After taking a few big bites to temporarily fill his hungry stomach, Hengyi turned his gaze to the milky white coconut stewed chicken that he had not yet tasted.
The golden chicken is bathed in milky white coconut milk. A light sniff will bring a refreshing aroma to your nose. The coconut fragrance is rich but not greasy, and the lemon leaves bring a unique freshness. As for the taste, it is well-layered and extremely delicious.
Take a sip of the soup first, it has a distinctive taste of slightly sour, slightly spicy and with a strong coconut milk aroma.
Take another bite of the chicken, and it melts in your mouth without you having to chew hard. The chicken has fully absorbed the sweetness and essence of the coconut milk, which interweaves with the deliciousness of the chicken itself. Add to that the slightly spicy stimulation, and the three elements coexist harmoniously, leaving a lingering fragrance on your teeth and cheeks, and blooming in your mouth with an intoxicating wonderful taste...
After the first three episodes were aired, internet influencers started collecting data online again.
[Want to know how many warriors persisted to the end and were not defeated by Huan Dao's gourmet attack? ]
[Anyway, I failed miserably at the knife-cut noodles stage.]
[I fell on the hot pot and now I am eating it with tears in my eyes. I have to say, it is so delicious!]
[In the last ten minutes, I couldn't resist placing my order. Director Heng Yi's eating show was so authentic and captivating. Even if this actor were to become a food show host, he'd definitely be a huge star. I guarantee it!]
That night, a rich aroma wafted from the homes of many fans who were watching Director Huan's new drama. Even if they didn't order the dishes from "It's Time to Eat", they still had to eat something.
[No wonder the name of this drama is "It's Time to Eat."]
[I just want to know how the Star Bian family is doing now? I heard that many people were planning to go back to work after watching the web series.]
What is work? Is it edible? Is it delicious? Chew, chew, chew.
The male protagonist in the drama has also won the nickname "Stupid Scholar" unanimously recognized by netizens. The reason, of course, is that this male protagonist is too indecisive. Every time he arrives at a new restaurant, he will observe secretly for a while, and then imitate the regular customers to order dishes seriously.
When they first saw this drama, which can be described as having almost no plot, some colleagues were still wondering if Director Huan had run out of ideas, or if he had become arrogant after winning three awards in a row, and this is all he could produce? It's just a waste of time!
Some people even secretly wanted to laugh at Director Huan, but who knew that when it was shown to the audience, the effect was surprisingly good.
What's wrong with no plot? Who did the male protagonist offend by eating?
I just like watching it. It’s so delicious to eat while watching it.
The menu is updated every day. You can follow the footsteps of the smart people and try all the delicious food in the world without leaving home. When you come back, you can learn to cook it yourself or just order takeout or go to a restaurant. Anyway, just like Hengyi, just eat it. Why think so much?
Some black fans didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, so they went to Bian Tianren and continued to try to sow discord.
"A certain Huan is obviously perfunctory to you. It's time to eat, which is not to your taste at all. I believe you don't like to watch it either. Tsk tsk tsk, he just has a problem with your change of attitude."
The man who changed the world rolled his eyes: Heizi, get off my feet.
Don’t delay them from watching movies and eating. Yes, why didn’t I realize before that eating is such a sacred and happy thing?
Especially when paired with the great drama that Director Huan filmed for them, your appetite will be whetted even more, just watch them show off!
As for the days when they used to suck nutritional paste, God, that was how people lived. Why did they abuse themselves in the past? I can’t understand it. Just eat it.
What, you mean work? They like to work, but—
Work is also for a better life. Live first and then work. Don’t put the cart before the horse.
Only when you are full can you have the energy to handle your work better.
Business wars also require a good body, otherwise what if you can't beat your opponent when a fight breaks out? Some strange things will interfere.
In short, it is enough for them to like what Director Huan shoots. As for whether it suits their taste, human beings are always fickle. Even if it does not originally suit their favorite type, they will change their taste according to Director Huan's plot. What's wrong with that?
Moreover, the people of Bian Tianxing can also tell from Director Huan's play that this is indeed a short play he carefully prepared for his own star: Eat well and live well! Isn't this what the people of Bian Tianxing lack the most?
This is not a lie. In the past, people thought they only liked fast-paced dramas. However, when they did some research and watched all the dramas Director Huan had filmed before, they found that they were still too narrow-minded. So what if they disliked art films the most before? Didn’t they cry after watching Guide Dogs? What’s more, they hated that they merged too late. There were big and small monsters like Cangtian, Haotian, Youtian... in front of them, making their way to the top full of thorns.
But it doesn't matter, who are they? They are little masters of changing the workplace. They can handle a mere palace fighting script and turn them into stars. People have made great ambitions in their hearts that one day they will become the mole on Director Huan's heart, and the first people who come to mind when making movies in the future are those who change the world.
Therefore, netizens who surf the Internet often find some gossip messages.
"Director Huan doesn't love us. It's not Director Huan's fault. It's because we're not good enough."
[I will work hard to become stronger and worthy of Director Huan.]
[It doesn't matter. We will love you and support you silently. We don't need anything in return. As long as you shine, that's enough.]
Needless to say, this little hermaphrodite turned into a god as soon as he heard it, and when he looked at the IP, it was true.
As experienced people, several people looked at each other. After the Queen Cangtian who waits for the emperor's return every day, the virtuous Imperial Noble Consort Haotian, the proud and arrogant Noble Consort Youtian, and the unconventional concubine Yantian, there is a new lady with a completely different style in Huandao's harem family. The world changes in an instant!
Count the four remaining stars, Xuantian who wields swords and guns, Juntian who is well-versed in poetry and books, Yangtian whose song shocks the world, and Zhutianwai who competes for glory with heaven and earth.
Several groups of people have realized that after the nine stars are completely merged, the excitement is probably still to come.
