The first scene of "The Little Chef of Shengjing" is set on the street. The sun is shining, people are moving on the street, vendors are shouting, and the atmosphere is relaxed and lively. When
the people of Dawu Dynasty saw this scene, they felt as if the morning of Liangjing Market was brought to the screen. It was not as shocking as the opening of "The World's Number One", but it made people feel friendly and particularly involved.
After a set of long shots, the scene turned and stopped in front of a small restaurant.
A young woman with a cute flower-shaped bun was busy in front of the stove. She was wearing a light yellow dress, an apron, and two ribbons of the same color as the dress were tied to her bun.
The woman's name was Yu Zhengzheng, she was only sixteen years old, and she ran her own small restaurant on the most prosperous street in Shengjing.
Today was the first day of business.
In Kyoto, every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and her shop is very small.
A large pot took up almost half of the shop. The small wontons were cooked until they were translucent and pink, and floated up from the bottom one by one. Next to
the pot, a pot of boiled clear soup was warming up. Yu Zhengzheng was scooping soup into a row of large white porcelain bowls in front of her. The clear soup went into the bowls, and the chopped green onions mixed with oil floated up, and the fragrance spread far away.
A customer on the side shouted, "Little shopkeeper, your wontons are too fragrant."
Yu Zhengzheng's eyes were bright and energetic, and the two small smiles at the corners of her mouth looked particularly sweet. "This is called Qianlixiang, it smells good and tastes even better." After she
finished speaking, she put down the large soup spoon, picked up the special small bamboo basket to scoop the wontons, and her movements were skillful. In less than a minute, seven or eight bowls of wontons were out of the pot at the same time. Yu Zhengzheng
took out a small black porcelain bottle from under the stove and carefully sprinkled a little powder on the wontons, which completely stirred up the already fragrant soup.
The guests could no longer sit still and stood up one after another, taking their bowls to eat at the side.
The wontons were just out of the pot, with thin skin and large fillings, a pink lump in the middle, and green onions and oil. It was really delicious.
Regardless of the rising steam, the customer took a spoon and scooped half a spoonful of soup with a wonton. He blew on the hot steam and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth. He was so hot that he kept breathing but didn't spit it out. He also raised his thumb towards the remaining steam and praised with his tongue: "It's so delicious!"
The sound of swallowing saliva in the theater came one after another. The picture conveyed information directly and accurately. Without too much thinking, the audience just felt that the bowl of wontons in front of the diners was a delicacy in the world.
Unfortunately, they could see it but couldn't eat it. The audience lowered their heads and grabbed a handful of popcorn, stuffing it into their mouths, which seemed not bad.
On the screen, the diners were all conquered by the young cook's cooking skills. At this time, three young men in rich clothes walked over with laughter.
They had just come back from a horse race in the paddock outside the city, and wanted to find a place to have breakfast, so they followed the smell.
The young man in red walking in the middle was Jing Hao, the prince of Chu, known as "Ghost-Seeing Sorrow".
He was eight feet tall, handsome, and had a violent temper, and no one in Shengjing City dared to mess with him.
Apart from anything else, this pair of "dandy prince x quirky little cook" is the double ceiling of character setting and appearance that Lu Yao picked out from more than a dozen similar works.
The two actors are young, their acting is natural, and their looks can support the character setting. The plot and character setting are also worthy of the looks of the two actors. The overall adaptability is high, and there is no obvious sense of separation during the viewing process.
Jing Hao brought his reading companion to Yu Zhengzheng's shop, ordered three bowls of Qianlixiang wontons, and teased the little cook with a sly mouth. Yu
Zhengzheng was good-tempered and didn't care about the teasing. He brought the wontons and turned around to continue greeting the guests.
Jing Hao felt bored and lowered his head to eat the wontons, but he was shocked.
He had been living a life of luxury since he was a child, and was used to eating delicacies from land and sea. Nowadays, there are few foods that catch his eye. At this moment, he was amazed by this ordinary bowl of wontons.
Not only Jing Hao, but also the two study companions who came with him were captivated by the delicious food, and they ate it like piglets.
Yu Zhengzheng turned around and saw this scene, lowered his head and pursed his lips, but was noticed by Jing Hao.
Prince Jing asked loudly: "Are you laughing at us?"
Yu Zhengzheng pressed down the corners of his mouth and said seriously: "No."
Jing Hao was unhappy, dropped the spoon and got up to leave.
The two companions gulped down the soup, dropped the silver coins and chased after him.
The first meeting between the young cook and the prince ended in a bad mood.
I thought they would never meet again, but the prince was a petty person. He came to the young cook every day to cause trouble, but every time he was resolved, the sense of déjà vu of the happy enemies almost overflowed the screen.
The guests who watched the premiere were all men, but they were also attracted by this novel and vivid story.
At this time, the prince was not likable, but the young cook was smart and virtuous, and she had a full good impression.
Eighty minutes passed quickly. The young cook's cooking skills were too good, and her business was too hot. Some colleagues secretly used tricks, and her small restaurant was about to face a huge crisis.
At this tense moment, with a "bang", the lights in the screening room came on, and the show ended.
The guests were all confused: "Is it over? What's next? Is there nothing?"
Suddenly, the black screen lit up again, and the audience who had stood up sat down again.
In the picture, the young cook was in crisis, and the playboy who had always been at odds with her appeared, as if to support her. In the end, the two faced each other calmly for the first time. The young cook took the initiative to call the prince and said she had something to say to him.
Just when it came to the exciting part, the screen went black again.
Then the voice-over appeared, informing that the second show of "The Little Cook of Shengjing" would be released in five days, continuing the daily life of the quirky young cook and the overbearing prince...
The guests' reaction was even greater than before, and they had to wait another five days for the follow-up.
After watching the short clip just now, how are they going to spend the next five days?
Rong Shenghua and Le Han looked at each other, neither of them felt comfortable, but there was nothing they could do.
The show schedule was very tight, and the staff had already come to urge them. The audience got up reluctantly and walked out complaining.
Rong Shenghua smacked his lips, and remembered that there was a wonton shop in Xishi, and suddenly said: "I want to eat wontons."
Le Han's mind suddenly popped up the Qianlixiang wontons made by Yu Zhengzheng, and he licked his lips: "I haven't eaten them for a long time. I watched "The Little Chef" today, and I miss them a little.
" Rong Shenghua: "I thought about it again and again, and the Wu Ji wontons in Xishi look similar to those made by the little chef."
The two left the cinema and went to Wu Ji together.
After that day, some wonton shops in the city often met customers who wanted to eat Qianlixiang wontons.
The wonton stall owners were puzzled. What is Qianlixiang wonton?
After learning about the origin of Qianlixiang wontons, the young cook made other dishes, and customers began to ask the restaurant for roast duck, boiled beef, and double pepper stir-fried tripe.
After a cup of tea after the premiere, the radio began to notify the audience of the second show to enter.
Lu Yao stood on the other side of the ticket gate, set up a small table alone, and checked the tickets herself.
She remembered the numbers of the forty tickets she gave out last night, and also left a mark, and told Zhu Zhu to come to her to check the tickets when she met customers with the corresponding ticket numbers.
Zhu Zhu didn't understand the storekeeper's intention at first, until the first man came to check the tickets with a ticket she had given out yesterday.
She knew this man, the man of Mrs. Li who sold tofu pudding on the street.
Last night, she had clearly given the ticket to Lady Li, who happily said that she and her mother had come together today, so why did her man come?
At this moment, Zhu Zhu didn't understand why, and she felt a little choked up in her heart. Only then did she vaguely understand the shopkeeper's idea.
The shopkeeper had expected everything.
Zhu Zhu held back her anger, raised her hand and pointed: "Sorry, this ticket needs to be checked over there."
The man glanced at Lu Yao, without moving, and walked up to Zhu Zhu and said: "Girl Zhu, we are all acquaintances, I will check the tickets here. Hurry up, I can't wait to see the movie."
Lu Yao had expected this, and said loudly: "The ticket in your hand is a special ticket for women to watch movies in the cinema. Men are not allowed to watch movies with tickets."
