Chapter 129
[Hahaha, President Yan is really serious. This way of greeting, if you don't know, you would think it's a press conference.]
[Sure enough, it's a recipe Assistant Yan is familiar with. He actually thanks us for liking Director Huan. He really can get along with this good friend!]
If I didn't know how close you two are, I would have burst into tears.
[Damn it! Even though Assistant Yan is handsome, I'm going to be especially vicious and blur out Assistant Yan's head. Um, I'll replace it with my own profile picture. Jealousy has completely distorted my appearance.]
Sorry, sorry, I had a stereotype before. Because Assistant Yan has a rather cold appearance, I always thought he was a very aloof and difficult-to-get-along-with boss. But just now, he was smiling at me. Not only was his voice very sweet, but most importantly, his tone was also calm and gentle. He seemed like a handsome guy who was quite easy to get along with.
Yes, I also noticed a detail. Zy's attention was always on his good friend Director Huan. Just when Director Huan was about to whisper something, he leaned forward. He seemed very considerate. The contrast between his cold exterior and warm heart is also very nice.
[An anonymous Fenghuo employee had to whisper something when seeing this. Is it possible that Boss Yan only smiles when he's with Director Huan? I swear to heaven, Boss Yan is truly aloof and unworldly. Few Fenghuo employees have ever seen Boss Yan smile, let alone smile this way... Anyway, he's nicknamed "Refrigerator."]
[I'm here to help dispel some rumors. I'm not a Fenghuo insider, but I was fortunate enough to witness the scene where CEO Yan was scammed by an actor. I can only say that the rumor that the young actor was frightened and cried on the spot is not groundless.]
[I'm dying of laughter. This is the image of the domineering, handsome, and violent boss in novels.]
Huan Xu and Yan Ze had of course seen the comments from fans in the barrage. Meeting Huan Xu's gaze again, Yan Ze subconsciously twitched the corners of his lips and stiffly changed the subject: "Are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."
Yan Ze tried to prove with his actions that he was not cold, nor scary, and would not commit domestic violence!
In front of the screen, Yan Xiaoan, who was watching his brother's live broadcast, spat out the water he had just drunk.
She couldn't believe that the man smiling gently on the screen was her brother. Yan Shuaishuai was too good at pretending.
Yan Xiaoan had to think very seriously.
...Does his brother count as marriage fraud?
Fortunately, the overbearing aroma of the grilled skewers soon helped Yan Ze resolve the immediate crisis. The ordered skewers were served one by one. The first to arrive were the Xinjiang lamb skewers that had just been put on the charcoal fire and the golden oil bubbles on the skewers were still sizzling.
Each piece of mutton is carefully selected, with alternating fat and lean parts, and roasted over the most primitive charcoal fire. The surface is golden brown and crispy, and sprinkled with special spices such as cumin and chili powder, it is even more fragrant, and the whole room is immediately invaded by the rich smell.
While waiting for the food, Huan Xu was still giving the audience some simple scientific knowledge in front of the camera:
"The origin of barbecue is related to Fuxi, the ancestor of Daxia civilization. He taught people to use fire to cook food. Later, as time went by, people also changed from direct grilling to using grills and ovens. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, our ancestors invented 'roasting', which broke away from the direct cooking method of flames and made many foods taste even better."
"During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were more types of barbecue. As for charcoal grilling, it should have first appeared in the Han Dynasty. People used charcoal to grill meat. They cut the meat into small pieces, skewered them with bamboo sticks, and then grilled them over the charcoal fire."
"It's said that after Emperor Gaozu of Han unified China, he often grilled deer liver and beef tripe to go with his wine. Following his example, the custom gradually spread to the people. Later, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Zhang Qian, during his diplomatic mission to the Western Regions, introduced spices..."
"Forget it, I won't say anymore."
【Why don’t you say anything? 】
[Haven't you heard enough of Director Huan's mini-class? What other stories are there?]
Huan Xu picked up a skewer and blew on it. "The aroma is almost there. It's delicious just by smelling it. The theory lesson is over. Now let's move on to the practical part. I'll try some first, so you can taste it for yourself."
[…I suspect Director Huan just wants to eat skewers, and I already have evidence.]
【Eating alone is too much.】
[Yeah, that's really too much.]
"Right? At least wait until I get to the kebab shop before eating together. Otherwise, I'll be so greedy, you dog head."
[…We can’t have fun together anymore, I’m not kidding :-)]
As the meat skewers entered their mouths, the audience saw Director Huan's eyes slightly widen and then slowly narrow after tasting them, revealing a smile of surprise and enjoyment. They couldn't wait to take the second bite, and the third bite. Well, Director Huan certainly didn't forget the fans in the live broadcast room.
He first gave a thumbs up to the live camera, and then pulled his good friends over to ask for their opinions to testify that he really was not lying.
When Huan Xu called him out again, Xiaoyan, always good-tempered and polite, quickly swallowed the skewers he had just taken. Then he echoed Huan Xu's previous words to the camera: "It's really good."
[I saw Director Huan's smirk just now. He definitely did it on purpose.]
[I'm so stupid, really. Why did I let myself be encouraged to start eating live in the first place? Isn't this just asking for trouble?]
[With the skewers at hand, Mr. Xiaoyan seems even more down-to-earth, doesn't he? Even though he's still wearing that high-end suit that's standard for a domineering CEO.]
When I think about how many delicious dishes Director Huan just ordered, and how much longer I have to endure, I feel sick.
As for ending the broadcast, that is impossible. Even if I am so greedy that my saliva can fill a tank, even if ants are crawling all over my body, even if I am dying of greed, I must finish watching this broadcast tonight. These interstellar people are so stubborn and proud!
Not only does he watch it himself, but he also invites all his friends and family to watch it together. The number of people in the live broadcast room has increased instead of decreased since the start of the broadcast.
Huan Xu: ...Okay, as long as the fans are happy.
Anyway, as a food broadcaster, he ate well tonight and made the audience happy, so he was successful.
Just eat it.
And they were all spoken from the heart, Huan Xu assured that there was not a trace of acting in them, praising: "The master craftsman's craftsmanship is authentic!"
The lamb skewers were not finished yet, and the freshly roasted pork kidneys were also served on the table.
Strings of sliced pork loin, each covered with a thin layer of transparent fat. Roasted over charcoal fire, the outer skin is roasted golden and crispy, which is very tempting.
For some fans in the circle, this is the first time they have seen such a small waist string.
[Director Huan, which part of the body is the small waist? ]
[I guess it's called small waist if you cut the big waist into small pieces.]
【What you said makes so much sense that I can’t even refute it. 】
Huan Xu smiled and said, "Everyone is right. It's just kidneys cut into small pieces."
[Suddenly, my waist felt cold.]
[Don't be surprised. I've had grilled large kidneys before, and they're delicious. I'm just a little curious about the special skin on the small kidneys. I've never had such a small kidney skewer.]
[Put down your ears, I made an appointment with my friends to organize a barbecue in the wild in a few days, and I'm here to learn from them. Hehe.]
Huan Xu brought the skewers closer to the camera, allowing everyone to see the golden coating more clearly. He explained with a smile, "There's a snack called spicy pork fat residue. I don't know if you've ever tried it. The fatty pork itself is actually quite greasy, but it's fine when mixed with pork belly to balance it out with lean meat. Dongpo pork is also a delicious traditional delicacy. However, if you eat a large piece of fatty pork on its own, many people would probably find it greasy and unwilling to eat it."
"But the snack of lard scraps fried in oil and seasoned with chili powder is fragrant and delicious."
"For one thing, kidneys themselves have a slight fishy smell, which some people may find a bit pungent. Wrapping the kidneys in fat and roasting them together allows the crispy aroma of the roasted skin to mask the slight fishy smell that can affect the taste, making the kidneys even more delicious."
"Especially when a skilled chef grills the pork loin, the perfect heat locks in all the aroma, and paired with the chef's unique seasoning, you'll want to eat more."
"I have a friend who doesn't like big kidneys, but can accept the taste of small kidneys. No matter how busy he is, he always takes some time out from time to time and drags us out for a meal in the middle of the night."
"In his own words, 'He was tempted by something and had to eat it.'"
As for why the three of them always went there to eat at night, it was of course because the restaurant was only open at night, and there were a lot of people there, all eating the pork waists. Unfortunately, after Huan Xu became famous, it was no longer convenient for him to go to crowded places. Although his brothers and sisters would bring some back to eat at home with him, it was definitely not as delicious as freshly baked ones.
They are said to be good friends, but in fact they are Huanxu's older brother and sister in his original world. They are two or three years older than Huanxu. They grew up together in an orphanage. The brother and sister usually take good care of Huanxu. After graduation, the two naturally got together. What they worry about most is Huanxu's emotional issues.
But at that time, Huan Xu was devoted to his career. There were people around him who wanted to develop relationships with him, all with various purposes, some sincere and some attracted by his status. Unfortunately, Huan Xu never felt attracted to anyone.
At the time of the accident, his brother and sister had already established stable careers and were planning to have their own baby. The two of them accompanied and supported each other, and everything would be complete once the baby was born. Huan Xu thought that this was also good. His departure would probably make his brother and sister sad for a long time, but at least they still had each other, and their lives would move forward and get better and better.
It would be a lie to say that he didn't envy his brother and sister's relationship. However, now that he had met someone he liked, if they could be together, Huan Xu hoped that he and Yan Ze would take this relationship seriously. It would be even better if they could establish a family-based social unit like his brother and sister.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Ze's concerned voice reached his ears. Huan Xu came back to his senses and found that he was a little distracted by thinking about his old friend. He smiled at Yan Ze and said, "It's nothing. Eat meat. It won't taste good if it gets cold.
If there really is a god who has traveled through time, I wonder if I could do him a small favor by sending him a dream and telling the dean, his grandmother, brothers and sisters that he is doing well.
And for those fans on Blue Star who love him, if possible, Huan Xu actually didn't want to say goodbye to everyone in a way like a plane crash. They would be very sad. Unfortunately, he couldn't say goodbye properly. He just won the highest honor, the director award, and he also promised Blue Star fans a new film on the podium.
It is said that debts must be paid, and even ghosts will not let the debtor go. The current situation is that even if he goes to the underworld, the fans can't find anyone to collect the debt.
Huan Xu once again interacted with the lovely audience in the live broadcast room, but Yan Ze frowned. Although Huan Xu concealed it well, Yan Ze still caught a glimpse of his fleeting longing that was well concealed by his master.
Yan Ze searched his mind for the old friend that Huan Xu had mentioned before, but couldn't seem to find a suitable candidate.
It’s not that Yan Ze intends to investigate Huan Xu, but some haters have used Huan Xu’s past to attack him before. Yan Ze will definitely keep an eye on the development of the situation and watch some of it intentionally or unintentionally.
Yan Ze must also care about Huan Xu's past. If you like someone, you will definitely want to participate in every important stage of his life.
But at the same time, Yan Ze didn't care that much. What he knew was Huan Xu's present, and he liked and was proud of Director Huan, who was also loved by countless fans and audiences. What he wanted to grasp was the future they would have together.
Huan Xu didn't know at the moment that even such a small thing, a small thing that he would even forget when he looked back and showed a hint of emotion, was actually remembered seriously by Yan Ze. He didn't even know that Yan Ze was thinking about how to make him happy if he showed the same emotion again next time.
While Huan Xu was interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room, the third signature spicy crayfish dish was served halfway through the late-night bar.
The audience, now experienced, protested in unison before the food was served: "Director Huan, we know you want to eat, but don't eat yet. Finish your story first."
[A qualified food broadcaster must first introduce history! ]
[I was forced to stop halfway through, and then watch Director Huan devour the song. Only after I was completely satisfied could I listen to the second half. I couldn't bear it any more!]
[Huan Daodao, I'm putting this out there. If you continue to tempt me, I'll really cry in front of you.]
Huan Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
[You agreed so quickly, is this a scam? ]
[This detective feels that things are not simple O.o.]
Huan Xu: "Why can't I explain it to you?"
"Okay, my little detectives, I'll tell you the truth. The truth is, I just ate some grilled skewers and pork kidneys, and I'm just about to take a few minutes off to drink some hawthorn juice to stimulate my appetite before moving on to the next meal. Also, Ma Xiao isn't as sensitive to cold as the first two grilled skewers."
【!!! 】
[Just asking, who led my innocent Huan Daodao astray?]
[Repeat with me, Huan Daodaodao, all the slashes, is there a possibility that Huan Dao’s heart was originally evil?]
[Whispering, while you were all condemning Director Huan, was I the only one with a hand-control quirk who noticed Assistant Yan's movements?]
[As for me, I can only say that God is unfair. Even the top-tier boss has big and long hands. Compared to my little pig's trotters, I am moved to tears.]
On the screen, Yan Ze, wearing gloves, was seen peeling the crayfish neatly and neatly, and the clean shrimp tails were placed neatly on the plate.
The movements are neat and fast.
This is not the point. The point is that Yan Ze pushed a small plate of freshly peeled lobsters directly next to Huan Xu, obviously for Huan Xu.
[I also want to say that, as expected of a boss, he's quite particular. Unlike me, who was hissing and showing off the lobsters I peeled, I couldn't save any of them. In the end, Xiaoyan didn't eat them herself.]
More importantly, Huan Xu, who was interacting with the audience, picked up one and put it in his mouth naturally. It was obvious that this was not the first time the two of them had cooperated.
audience:【? ? ? 】
I saw Director Huan finish the crayfish in a few mouthfuls, and when the plate was almost empty, the diligent waiter Yan filled it with new shrimp meat.
While eating, Huan Xu didn't forget his status as a food critic, offering a certified review: "The meat is tender and chewy, and the spicy sauce blends perfectly with the freshness of the shrimp. Savoring it carefully, the flavors progress layer by layer on the tip of your tongue: first the slight spicy stimulation, followed by the sweetness of the seafood, and finally the delicious meat. As you chew, you can feel the shrimp juices bursting in your mouth, leaving a lingering fragrance. Paired with a sip of bubbling ice-cold happy water, the joy is doubled."
After a pause, he added, "Eating while slurping is actually quite enjoyable. You can also enjoy the broth stuck to the shrimp shells, which makes the flavor even richer. I have no choice but to dip the shrimp meat in the broth to enhance the flavor. Hiss, so fragrant and spicy! Five stars recommended!"
[No, listen to what you are saying, my brother.]
"Director Huan, please stop your idiotic remarks and stop hurting a single person like me. It's strange, I think I said something really crazy."
[Strangely, I didn't think there was anything wrong with what was said above at first.]
[It feels like I'm watching my parents and grandparents at the dinner table, an old married couple showing off their affection as usual. I must have slept too late last night and my eyes are blurry.]
After the live broadcast, not only did Wu Qianying's Late Night Time restaurant, which was personally certified by Director Huan, become a popular check-in spot, but the delicious skewers of Late Night Time also had a positive impact on the business, making the Wu chain restaurant a huge hit. With the principle that it didn't matter if they lost money, the restaurant, which served as a gathering place for Director Huan's offline fan club, unexpectedly made Wu Qianying a fortune. Of course, that's all a story for later.
After this live broadcast, the CP fans that President Yan had been longing for finally managed to survive in the cracks among Director Yu Huan's CP mess and carved out a small territory that belonged to them thanks to the efforts of him and Huan Xu.
President Yan even opened a new account. When naming the account, President Yan's ears turned red, his eyes flickered, but his fingers firmly and quickly typed in four overly straightforward and passionate names - Huan Yan Shuang Fei.
It is quoted from Erya: "In the south there are birds with wings that pair up, but they cannot fly unless they pair up. They are called 鹣鹣."
The two of them were named after one word each, meaning flying together with wings. What made Yan Ze most satisfied was that swallows also meant beautiful love in ancient times, which was so appropriate!
He used a fake account to penetrate deep into the CP fans' circle, claiming that as one of the main characters, he had the right to know everyone's praise and blessings for him and Huan Xu.
As a result, Yan Ze found that he was too happy too early.
Although they have a base, it is a makeshift team that has just been established. They have no weapons and no equipment. Fortunately, for Xiaoyan, compared to the corner that no one cared about before, people now support him and Huan Xu's Shuimu couple, which is a historic step forward.
As for the boss who lacks technical personnel and stable production, Xiaoyan rolled up her sleeves politely and said that the small matter of editing would not be difficult for the boss of an entertainment company.
It was late at night. Sister Yan, who came downstairs in the middle of the night, passed by the study. Through the crack in the door that was not closed tightly, she vaguely saw Yan Ze sitting behind the desk, operating the computer, and still working diligently. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes. It was so late, and Shuai Shuai was still working. But think about it, it is really hard for him to be in charge of such a big company at such a young age.
Not knowing that his sister was still feeling sorry for him, Yan Ze finally finished editing a very satisfactory video. He took off his glasses and put them aside, exported the video, switched to the secondary account, and clicked send.
As soon as the video of Huan Yan flying together was released, this video of more than ten minutes, which almost included all the classic shots of Huan Xu and Yan Ze in the same frame in public, was widely circulated among Shuimu fans because of its compact and romantic shot editing, and the perfect ambiguity and sense of fate.
The footage from the fourth season of Detective Conan provided the most material.
In the comment section for Huan Yan Shuang Fei, a popular comment that was spontaneously pushed to the front by other fans responded as follows: "Through Shuang Fei's lens, the revenge plot of the beautiful, strong and tragic Huan Banzhuan and the truth-seeking Detective Yan meet at the manor. One wants revenge, the other wants to prevent the tragedy on this timeline. The love-hate relationship between them, the contest of high IQ and the duel of mutual respect, really feels too fateful."
"Add to that the sweet interactions between the two of them as they played games together, and the tacit understanding between their gazes under the starlit sky on a night of revelry. I've gone through this cycle a thousand times, just to find him among the crowd!"
"The best thing about Mr. Shuangfei is that the switching and connection of the shots are so smooth and silky, and the texture and beauty of the pictures are not inferior to those in some film and television works."
"In conclusion, only hardcore CP fans can give out so much genuine and emotional sugar."
"With Shuangfei, a talented, skilled, and passionate teacher, in the Shuimu CP circle, there's no need to worry about it not being popular. CP fans won't have to worry about having nothing to eat in the future!"
What Yan Ze didn't expect was that the candy he produced and sold himself was passed around and finally reached Huan Xu.
Looking at the familiar video clip of Huan Yan Shuang Fei that Huan Xu sent to him on the computer interface, Yan Ze fell into deep thought for a rare time. His first reaction was, could it be that Huan Xu and he had a telepathic connection and knew that Huan Yan Shuang Fei was his new alias just by watching the video?
Well, I feel a little embarrassed.
Xiaoyan always thinks too much. No matter how insightful Ren Huanxu is, it is really difficult to match Huan Yan Shuangfei, the high-quality die-hard fan of the Shuimu CP circle, with the real Xiaoyan.
However, Huan Xu did have his own thoughts when forwarding the video to Yan Ze, and he wanted to continue testing Yan Ze's attitude.
Huan Xu: "I saw a pretty interesting fan-edited video about our relationship. Not to mention the content, just the technical aspects, the editing skills of this Shuangfei teacher are very good. It even makes me wonder if some great editor in the industry is also into our relationship."
It seems that Huan Xu didn't guess that "Huan Yan Shuangfei" was him. Yan Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed for some reason.
