Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Spending Money Day 124
The lens of a lover is warm, and this sentence is fully demonstrated in He Zhiyuan.
The equipment he has is not as good as that of professional photographers, and his knowledge and skills are not as rich as others, but Liu Yue thinks that the pictures he takes of her are very romantic.
Under his lens, whether she is standing, sitting, or selecting goods in front of a stall or communicating with others, her expressions are vivid and natural, and she looks particularly energetic.
Liu Yue likes a photo of herself looking back very much. Her smile in this photo is the most natural and it can be used as her new wallpaper.
She took He Zhiyuan's arm and asked him, "Why do you take such good-looking photos of me? Is it because you love me so much?"
He Zhiyuan bent down to help her tidy up her hair, but she had already given the answer.
He received an encouraging hug from Liu Yue and an invitation to continue helping her produce films.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would serve as Liu Yue's chief photographer for her RV trip. After accepting this prestigious position, He Zhiyuan couldn't suppress the smile on his face. Whenever Liu Yue took a break, he would lean over to cuddle with her, fearing that any passerby wouldn't be aware of their relationship.
Although this Uyghur costume was beautiful, it was not very convenient for movement. Before dinner, Liu Yue changed back into her regular clothes.
She came to a very famous barbecue restaurant in Urumqi. The food there was controversial online. Some people said it was delicious, while others said it was terrible. Seeing such polarized reviews, Liu Yue wanted to try it to see how salty it was, and to gain true knowledge through practice.
There was a long queue at dinner time. Sang Yu had made a reservation in advance and she also ordered a whole roasted lamb.
One sheep is definitely not enough for them to eat. Liu Yue took the menu and saw a list of familiar skewers and some Xinjiang specialties.
You must try the baked buns. The mutton pilaf is a regional delicacy. The grilled lamb skewers are their signature dish. The grilled sea bass is rare in Guangdong. Give me one portion...
When Liu Yue saw the yogurt rice dumplings, she was a little hesitant. As a fan of salty rice dumplings, she found it hard to imagine what kind of dish it was. It sounded so strange.
But since we were already here, it would be nice to try some local specialties. Liu Yue was very cautious and only ordered one portion. Even if it tasted bad, everyone would take a spoonful and almost finish it. If it tasted good, they would order a few more portions.
After ordering the dishes, the guests arrived.
Liu Yue didn't even need to look up; just by hearing the sudden bustle outside, she knew Qiao Yi and Zhong Yingying had arrived. They were filming a variety show, and with cameras everywhere they went, it was hard not to be conspicuous.
Fortunately, Sang Yu booked a private room, so everything would be fine as long as he closed the door.
The two men just came in, greeted Liu Yue, and said they wanted to shoot some footage first.
Then they reached for the appetizers on the table.
Zhong Yingying was picking up cucumbers and eating them. Qiao Yi was a little more restrained. She was still chatting with Liu Yue, but her hands couldn't stop picking up pickled radishes.
Liu Yue was stunned. Are they so hungry? Did the production team not give them any food these days?
When the filming was paused, the two of them put down their chopsticks at the same time. Only then did Liu Yue realize that what had just happened was part of the show's effect.
Liu Yue: ...
There are so many tropes in domestic reality shows. She should have realized that the "show" factor is the biggest factor. She probably felt so excited when they answered her call because there were cameras filming them.
"Not really," Zhong Yingying said. "Privately, we just eat a couple of bites to fill our stomachs, and most of the time we actually eat naan. There are a lot of fan posts these days, and the director asked us, who don't have funding, not to be photographed eating at restaurants."
Knowing is one thing, being photographed is another. They did have extra meals these days, but because they finished work very late every day, the takeout shops were closed and they didn't have any real food.
Therefore, Liu Yue's initiative to invite them to dinner was indeed good news from heaven.
She was not afraid to speak directly in front of the camera. She dared to speak and they did not dare to edit it, so what was there to be afraid of?
Zhong Yingying: "If you hadn't come over today, we would have been going to perform on the street tonight."
"Can you sing or dance?" Liu Yue asked.
Zhong Yingying said confidently, "I can sing, and I don't have to pay copyright fees for singing!"
Liu Yue was still curious about why. Did she have many singer friends who were songwriters?
When she sang a song and heard her lark-like voice, Liu Yue understood.
This has nothing to do with the original song, and may even be original, but she has to be careful that the original singer doesn't become the plaintiff.
——Of course, not paying copyright fees or anything like that was just a joke. If she really sang, the program team would at most buy her one song, and the rest would only play one or two lines.
"What about Qiao Yi?" Liu Yue suddenly became very interested in this. "What talents do you have to show?"
Qiao Yi said that she can also sing, and her level is comparable to Zhong Yingying.
Liu Yue: ...
Well, this is another lark.
She sighed that the identities of domestic entertainment actors and singers are becoming increasingly distinct, but Shengzhou's singing is okay.
Liu Yue just said it casually. He Zhiyuan froze his chopsticks in his hand when he heard it. Thinking that Liu Yue was treating her friends to dinner, he quickly adjusted his expression and pretended nothing happened.
Wen Huiyi arrived later than the others, having finished her work. She sent a WeChat message to Liu Yue telling her not to wait and to eat first. By the time she arrived, the two cameramen and the on-site staff had already left.
In fact, they wanted to stay and film the whole process, but it was Liu Yue who was treating them today, and she didn't want to be watched by too many people while eating. Letting them in to shoot some footage was already giving face to Qiao Yi and Zhong Yingying.
After the dishes were served, Liu Yue couldn't wait to start eating.
The lamb grilled over charcoal fire was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and she personally felt that it had no smell of mutton; the appearance of the baked buns was very different from the buns she had in mind, with no wrinkles on it and a crispy skin, and lamb inside, so the taste was a bit strong.
But the bun skin is particularly delicious, the bottom is very crispy, and the filling is also very rich in fat. The slight smell of mutton is more than enough to make up for the disadvantage.
"This restaurant should make everything fresh," Liu Yue said. "The quality of the lamb on the same table is not very stable."
At least, it can prove that it is not a pre-prepared dish?
The other skewers were just average; people might just happen to be passing by and go in for a bite, but they definitely wouldn't go out of their way to get one. Liu Yue had been looking forward to the roasted whole lamb, which was well-prepared during the serving ceremony. Unfortunately, the taste was mediocre, not as good as the lamb skewers she had just had.
Liu Yue didn't plan to order another serving of skewers. A restaurant with unstable food quality is like opening a blind box. What if the new food she ordered doesn't taste good?
Seeing that she was not satisfied, Sang Yu opened the schedule for the next few days and looked for a place to stop to get the freshest and best quality lamb, which would also make it easier for the chef to make her a more delicious roasted whole lamb.
There are some things that Liu Yue doesn't say proactively, but the assistant should be aware of this and exceed her expectations to make her feel surprised and comfortable.
He Zhiyuan watched Sang Yu's actions from the side and had some insights in his heart.
The men around Liu Yue change very quickly, but the jobs of several assistants are very stable... Although the nature of the two is different, this attitude and experience are worth his reference and learning.
There are also Qiao Yi and Zhong Yingying - based on He Zhiyuan's understanding of Liu Yue, her enthusiasm for partying is intermittent. Did these two people just happen to catch up with the time when she is willing to socialize, or did their appearance stimulate her enthusiasm in this regard?
He was thinking while Liu Yue continued to eat barbecue.
The dish that surprised Liu Yue the most today was the grilled sea bass. There was no picture on the menu, and Liu Yue thought it was the kind of grilled fish sold at night snack stalls. Unexpectedly, the fish served was grilled and placed directly on the plate without having to be cooked in a soup pot.
That’s right, this is the literal meaning of grilled fish…
Liu Yue particularly liked the first bite. The skin was crispy and the fish meat was tender. The balance between the two tastes was very good, which was simply the highest level of grilled fish.
Unfortunately, the second serving of grilled fish was very ordinary, and the fish meat was directly burnt to the point of being burnt, which made Liu Yue very disappointed.
No wonder the online reviews are so polarized... This kind of product with inconsistent quality is like opening a blind box. If she only eats the second one, she will also think that the person who said the first one was delicious has never tasted good ones.
When the yogurt rice dumplings were served, Liu Yue bravely took the first bite.
Fortunately, this dish was not as dark as she had imagined. The glutinous rice here was tasteless, and she could eat it as a dessert with a little yogurt on it. It was completely different from the salty rice dumplings she had imagined.
At the end of the meal, Liu Yue still couldn't forget the grilled fish.
She said to Sang Yu, "Talk to the owner of this restaurant and the grilled fish chef. I'm willing to pay him extra so he can focus on grilling fish and improve quality control."
No matter what price he asks, money is not a problem. She really wants to eat that grilled fish again.
