Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Spending Money Day 66 (Edited)…
It was a new day, and Liu Yue was woken up by Lucas again.
In fact, she had woken up a long time ago and just wanted to lie in bed and sleep a little longer, but the evil cat climbed on her and disturbed her sweet dream.
She wanted to play with her phone, but Lucas stretched out his paw to block her phone screen.
"Okay, okay, I'll get up and play with you."
Liu Yue, who was woken up by the clingy cat, sat up, grabbed the cat toy on the bedside table, and watched Lucas fluttering on her bed.
This kitten is so cute, I have to give it a big kiss!
Liu Yue hugged Lucas and sucked him hard, then went to wash up and have breakfast.
She was eating here while several members of the team were contacting Disney to book the entire theater for her.
Even if it's just for the night time, she can't do it whenever she wants.
The park is very willing to cooperate, but some details still need to be discussed.
For example, which areas she wants to play in, which cast members need to continue working, whether to design a new doll outfit for her, and set off another round of fireworks for her...
Of course, they can just do these things, and Liu Yue doesn't need to worry about it.
Liu Yue had originally thought about visiting other places in Hengdian in the morning, since she was already there. However, after breakfast, she went back to bed and lay there for a while, and before she knew it, it was half past ten.
Hmm... half past ten is very close to eleven o'clock, and eleven o'clock is around noon. It's almost time for lunch, so let's go out in the afternoon!
Liu Yue reflected on herself: "Lazy people always make lots of excuses for themselves."
Sang Yu: "You are just gathering your strength."
This was obviously flattery, but Liu Yue just loved to hear it.
She lay back down and looked at the Hengdian travel guide on her phone, but after looking at it for a while, she felt that there was nothing worth seeing.
But she's not going to Disneyland so soon, so what should she do in the meantime?
"Let's go to Suzhou tomorrow," Liu Yue said. "I want to buy some Song Dynasty brocade."
"But Suzhou doesn't seem to have much to offer... The most famous thing seems to be the Chinese gardens."
Of course the garden is beautiful, but Liu Yue thinks it is enough to just look at it online and appreciate it through the screen.
She has no artistic talent in this area, and I guess she wouldn't understand it even if she saw it in person.
Sang Yu turned the tablet towards her: "Would you like to consider Yinyu Shuizhongtian Hotel?"
This is a famous sanatorium hotel both at home and abroad. Its main concept is fashionable and healthy vacation, which is very suitable for Liu Yue who doesn't like to move much and just likes to lie down.
The above description is not derogatory, but objective.
Sang Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with Liu Yue liking to lie down; this was her preferred lifestyle. No one could tell her what kind of person she was; as long as she felt happy, that was enough.
After reading the introduction of the hotel, Liu Yue felt very excited.
The hotel’s daily activities include spa, sound therapy, meditation, mindfulness… Not bad, it seems to be very suitable for her.
There are also courses like yoga and boxing, so you can exercise if you want!
"Then let's move to this hotel tomorrow."
Liu Yue happily made her decision, but suddenly thought of something else: "Is this place far from where Song Brocade is sold?"
Sang Yu: "The Shuizhongtian Hotel is not in the city and is indeed far from the Songjin Factory, but I can ask them to bring samples and catalogs to your door so you can choose in the hotel." Okay, that's no problem at all.
Liu Yue stretched, picked up Lucas, and said she would take him to Suzhou for a trip tomorrow.
Although Lucas is cute, he can't speak, and Liu Yue doesn't understand cat language.
Alas, why can't people and cats communicate freely? It's such a pity.
Liu Yue even asked the system imaginatively whether there was a golden finger that could understand animals' speech.
She didn't have to understand everything, just being able to communicate with Lucas was enough.
Unfortunately, the system said no and reminded her that she hadn't started spending money today.
Ah... Liu Yue scratched her head.
Today is another ten thousand yuan. What should she buy?
Oh, and her West Lake Vinegar Fish!
She had wanted to eat this before she came, because the reviews of this dish online were really polarized, and she wanted to see whether West Lake Vinegar Fish was delicious.
However, Liu Yue does not plan to go to Hangzhou specifically for this fish.
She spoke to Sang Yu and asked her to arrange for the chef to bring the ingredients and prepare them on the spot. Not only West Lake Vinegar Fish, but also other Hangzhou specialties can be made on the spot.
It just so happens that she has an appointment with Qiao Yi for dinner tonight, so she might as well take her along to try it.
Liu Yue gave Sang Yu a budget and left it to her to arrange the menu for tonight. She wanted to try Hangzhou specialties, preferably with seasonal ingredients to make the most of the freshest ingredients.
In this regard, she fully believes in Sang Yu's ability.
Of course, she also added a few hundred dollars' worth of items to her shopping cart in advance, because Sang Yu always got stuck at the budget limit and the price was just a little less than what she asked for.
In fact, she could also say that the budget is 11,000, but that sounds too strange. It would be better for her to make up for it in other ways.
After arranging today's spending tasks, Liu Yue had nothing to do.
She became addicted to playing cards, so she opened an online UNO room in the group, and soon someone responded.
This is what Liu Yue likes most about this group. No matter what time it is, as long as she says a word, there will be someone to play with her.
She used to think that UNO was a relatively unpopular game and few of her college classmates knew how to play it, but in this group, it seemed like everyone knew how to play it, which was quite amazing.
Liu Yue was petting the cat and playing cards while muttering to herself.
Sang Yu helped her adjust the angle of the backrest so that she could lie half-lying in a more comfortable position.
——There is no such thing as a coincidence that everyone can do. It’s just because she likes it, and the smart people in the group can quickly learn the rules within a few minutes.
However, it's not bad to have these smart guys to play with her.
Even if a smart person has bad intentions, he will weigh the pros and cons. As long as he can keep acting well, then the fake will become real.
After Liu Yue suggested that she wanted to eat West Lake Vinegar Fish, the three members of the team immediately started preparing.
Sang Yu contacted the chef in Hangzhou, Zhang Cheng coordinated with the restaurant in Hengdian, and Ren Zhen combined the results of the communication between Sang Yu and the chef to find a way to order various high-end ingredients.
Everyone has a dinner countdown on their phone. The restaurant's kitchen is undergoing a major cleaning, with the stove and pots being the main targets. The private rooms are spotlessly clean, the round tables are covered with new tablecloths, and the vases are filled with gorgeous flowers.
The chef team was on the way, and Qiao Yi had already chosen the clothes she would wear tonight in advance. She changed her makeup immediately after the filming and repeatedly checked her appearance in the mirror.
The meal looked very formal, and fortunately she was wearing a formal dress.
Qiao Yi arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the agreed time. She sat for a while and stood up to greet Liu Yue when she came over.
Liu Yue came wearing home clothes. She had no makeup on and her hair was very messy.
There was nothing she could do. She had been playing games and had forgotten the time. She had wanted to order takeout, but it was only when Sang Yu reminded her that Liu Yue remembered she had a date with Qiao Yi tonight.
She arrived on time, so she hadn't fixed her hair on the way. Now that she was seated, Qiao Yi naturally took the comb from Ren Zhen's hand and combed out the messy ends of her hair.
"Are you tired today?" she asked Liu Yue softly.
"I haven't even left my room. I've been playing games the whole time. How can I be tired?"
Although Liu Yue is lazy, she is still a pragmatic person.
She said, "Actually, I should be the one asking you, how did you feel about filming today?"
Qiao Yi smiled and said, "Of course the work is hard, but it's work after all."
She returned the comb to Ren Zhen and recounted some interesting stories from the filming. Since she was currently filming a novel adaptation, she also chatted with Liu Yue about her thoughts and analysis of the female lead.
After the host and guests arrived, the chef began to serve the dishes.
Liu Yue’s eyes were not drawn to the various precious ingredients. She just took a few bites and was only looking forward to the West Lake Vinegar Fish that was about to be served.
Liu Yue rubbed her hands together, "I want to see if it tastes good. Have you ever eaten it before?"
I've eaten it, and it's awful, with a very strong earthy smell.
But before confirming that the fish was also unpalatable, Qiao Yi would definitely not spoil Liu Yue's interest. He just said that he was too young when he ate it and no longer remembered it.
Before serving, the chef explained: "Real West Lake Vinegar Fish has very strict requirements for the waters it is caught in. Our fish are usually raised in West Lake. When they are brought here, their eyes are very clear and their gills are bright red."
"We usually use grass carp to make West Lake vinegar fish. Before killing the fish, we starve it for a few days to remove the earthy smell and make its meat firmer. When killing the fish, we retain the blood from its spine, so that it tastes fresh."
Oh wow, after laying so much groundwork, it seems that the chef is very confident in his cooking skills.
After waiting for a long time, Liu Yue finally saw the legendary West Lake Vinegar Fish.
The sauce of this dish looked very thick. At the chef's recommendation, she took a bite of the crescent-shaped meat next to the fish gills.
Her first reaction was that it was sour and had a strong vinegar aroma, but she could immediately taste the sweet aftertaste.
Fortunately, it was not as bad as she had imagined. At least it did not have the legendary earthy smell that would reach her head.
If you taste it carefully, you will find that the taste becomes more and more addictive the more you eat it. It is delicious.
"We can try it!" Liu Yue and Qiao Yi said, "That's great, the fish didn't die in vain."
Seeing that the diners were satisfied, the chef smiled with pride.
Not only was his death not in vain, it was a worthy death, as he became a delicious dish.
Qiao Yi took a tentative bite and found it was indeed much more delicious than she had expected.
She breathed a sigh of relief, which was wonderful.
She was not afraid that the West Lake Vinegar Fish was unpalatable, but she was afraid that Liu Yue had a strange taste and would think it was delicious even though it was unpalatable. In that case, she would have to accompany her to eat the whole fish.
While eating, Liu Yue asked, "Master, how many fish did you bring?"
The chef said he brought three, one for Liu Yue and Qiao Yi, one for Liu Yue's team members who had separate work meals, and one was kept as a backup.
"Then let's make another serving of West Lake vinegar fish." Liu Yue and Ren Zhen said, "Please arrange for someone to send it to Yingying's crew later. I'll treat her to this."
When mentioning Zhong Yingying, Liu Yue also told Qiao Yi that she bought a cake for herself yesterday.
She was very touched at that time. The three people there were all actors, and only Zhong Yingying thought of wishing her a "Happy wrap".
"This fish is delicious, so I gave it to Yingying."
Liu Yue whispered, "I've planned it all. If the vinegar fish doesn't taste good, neither of us will pick up our chopsticks and let Sheng Zhou and Cheng Tang finish it."
Thinking of the expressions they might have, Liu Yue couldn't help but laugh.
Alas, it’s a pity that West Lake Vinegar Fish is delicious, which made her lose the opportunity to “take revenge”.
Liu Yue also wanted to invite Qiao Yi to go to Disney together, but her filming was not finished so soon and she couldn't take a leave.
In fact, Qiao Yi could squeeze out time, but when she thought about her previous personality, she felt it would be better to stick to it.
Playmates can always be replaced, and no matter how gorgeous a person's appearance is, there will come a day when people get tired of him. So let her be aloof in front of the "audience friends" for once.
After tonight's conversation, Liu Yue is particularly looking forward to Qiao Yi's new work. "The heroine role should be your comfort zone," Liu Yue said, "after all, the drama you starred in at the beginning of the year was a hit."
Moreover, this time it is a revenge theme, which is very suitable for Qiao Yi.
Qiao Yi smiled and said, "I also hope that this drama will have a good outcome. After all, it is the joint efforts of the entire crew."
Liu Yue actually also hopes so, because the co-producer of this drama is also a company in which He Xi holds shares.
This is the end of the topic for tonight. Liu Yue got to eat the West Lake Vinegar Fish as she wished, and it was a delicious version. She was in a very happy mood at the moment.
As they were leaving, she said, "Qiao Yi, do you know what the moon is called now?"
Qiao Yi didn't know, she didn't understand the phases of the moon.
"It's Xinyue." Liu Yue said with a smile, "That's my English name."
Qiao Yi looked at the crescent moon in the sky and Liu Yue with her curved eyes and eyebrows below.
In fact, she is more than just the moon at this stage.
As long as she wanted, she could always hang high above the dome.
