It’s late at night.
Chen Cong felt a little insomniac and tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
He rarely felt this way anymore.
Tomorrow is June 1st. Of course, June 1st is not his holiday, and he doesn't want to eat any lollipops...
Nonsense, how can he celebrate Children's Day when he is already 29 years old?
He is not one of those uncles and aunts on the Internet who deliberately pretend to be young and cute.
He has always liked cars, especially limited edition luxury cars.
Of course, his previous interest in GTA was only moderate, and he even felt that GTA was basically in his pocket.
However, when he learned that the last GTA car was reserved by a mysterious person and he couldn't find out who reserved it, his mood plummeted...
He couldn't get the car anymore, the limited edition model was no longer his...
So, finally he decided to give Lu Yuan a call. Of course he never mentioned anything about buying a car. He just said he wanted to see the car. It wasn't that he didn't want to buy it, but he felt that Lu Yuan would never sell it!
He felt that if he proposed buying a car, Lu Yuan would definitely refuse without saying a word.
He won't make trouble for himself.
nonsense!
This GTA symbolizes a noble status in a sense. Who would buy it?
You must be crazy to sell it.
Even if I spend 100 million yuan, Lu Yuan will never sell it!
Moreover, several of Lu Yuan's movies had huge box office success. Conservatively speaking, he has 300 million in savings, and his future is promising.
Would Lu Yuan be short of this 100 million yuan?
Are you kidding?
Chen Cong would never do anything that would make him bored. He is not a fool with low emotional intelligence.
So, he called and said that he just wanted to visit Lu Yuan to take a look at the car and he had no other intentions.
Lu Yuan's voice on the phone was enthusiastic and happy.
"Mr. Chen... your presence here will definitely bring glory to my humble place. By the way, Mr. Chen, do you like food?"
"What, Master Chen, you said you have tried all the delicacies in China, so you can be called a half-gourmet?"
"No, Mr. Chen, you must have never eaten 'Phoenix Rising in Fire' made with top-quality ingredients, right? Hehe, you really haven't eaten it, right? Let me tell you, top-quality ingredients don't necessarily have to be cooked with top-quality and high-end craftsmanship. The most important thing is the chef's personal accomplishment and creativity. For example, fire, the fire we commonly talk about is very ordinary fire, but the dish 'Phoenix Rising in Fire' is absolutely..."
"You haven't tasted 'Third Grade Bagua' either, have you? Mr. Chen, to be honest, most people haven't tasted it. Let me tell you what it tastes like..."
“…”
In addition to his love for cars, Chen Cong also has a hobby of food. He even participated in a high-profile food tasting program in China, in which he almost overcame all obstacles and made it through the program.
After all, he had eaten countless delicacies made by top chefs over the years, with all kinds of flavors...
But……
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yuan's voice sounded very vicissitudes of life, but it also carried a kind of magic and allure that made people yearn for. Even after listening to what Lu Yuan said on the phone, Chen Cong felt that Lu Yuan's voice was more professional than the commentators on those food shows, and it made people more excited.
Everything you haven't tried is exciting.
Things that you have never seen before are more exciting.
Chen Cong found himself unable to resist...
He had indeed never heard of the names of the dishes that Lu Yuan mentioned. Although he had never heard of them, he felt that they were extremely high-end when he heard the names. Especially when Lu Yuan introduced these delicacies on the phone using those strange and unheard-of cooking methods, and at the same time described their taste and flavor in great detail, and even the reaction of the food after it entered the stomach, Chen Cong found that he could no longer resist this kind of thing.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt very hungry.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and asked his own chef to make some of his favorite dishes for him.
However, after taking two bites, the taste became less and less right.
Yes, the food I usually like the most is now tasteless...
This moment...
He discovered that Lu Yuan's GTA's desire for freedom was far less powerful than its desire for delicious food.
This night...
He was completely sleep deprived.
Finally I couldn't help myself and logged onto Weibo, where I posted a message...
"Tomorrow night, I will be invited by Mr. Lu to taste the delicacies such as 'Phoenix Bathing in Fire', 'Pearl Hidden in Belly', and 'The World's No. 1 Immortal Meat'... Tsk tsk, does anyone know these delicacies? Has anyone heard of them?"
Then he looked at the comments below.
He found that no one in the comments below knew about it, and some even said they had never heard of it, and they all expressed their desire to eat it.
Of course, some netizens think that the taste is not right.
Please leave a message below and ask Chen Cong to bring a personal doctor with him when he goes there to prevent food poisoning.
Lu Yuan...delicious food?
This sounds so inconsistent!
Chen Cong naturally knew some of Lu Yuan’s dark history, but Chen Cong didn’t care.
Lu Yuan spoke so vividly and professionally on the phone, how could it be fake?
Besides, who am I? Can Lu Yuan really do those fancy things that he is not sure of?
If this is true, does he still have any shame?
Anyway…
Chen Cong was looking forward to it very much.
…
The opening ceremony of "Assembly" was postponed for one day.
Because the weather in Yanjing was so bad, it was postponed to June 2nd.
Nonsense, it's stormy over there, the weather is really bad...
Lu Yuan didn't think he could just sit there and do nothing for the day, so he started to get busy.
On June 1, at 4 a.m., Lu Yuan got up early and left Remote Entertainment, and at the same time told Wu Tingting to prepare this and that...
Around nine o'clock.
"Lu Yuan, what is this?"
"You don't understand, do you? To make top-quality ingredients, many things require the influence of fire. In the days of slash-and-burn farming, our ancestors used fire to make fresh, juicy, and fragrant delicacies... That was something original. In modern times, many things have changed and lost their original flavor, such as air pollution, environmental pollution, and some messy injected ingredients... So now I use this good thing to hold those pure, natural, pollution-free top-quality ingredients, including fire. I also use this special prop to restore the familiar feeling... What you see is this special prop. Of course, this special prop must be tempered a thousand times..."
"Lu Yuan, do you think I'm a fool? Do you think I've never seen a barbecue grill? I'm asking you what you do with the barbecue grill..." Wang Jinxue stared at Lu Yuan with a cold voice.
She found that Lu Yuan had started to go astray.
"Mr. Chen is coming to play with me, right? I have to entertain him warmly, right?"
"You have no grudge against him, right?"
"Nonsense, why do I have a grudge against him?"
"When will he come?"
"About this afternoon, what's the matter?"
"It's not too late. Okay, I'll help you find a top chef... Please don't bring trouble to others."
"Disaster? How can I be a disaster! Jinxue, don't you believe me?" Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue, and his voice suddenly changed slightly.
"Yes, I don't want to see the headlines the next day about Chen Cong being admitted to the hospital because of eating what you made..." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan.
"Jinxue, 'Happy Camp' was just an accident. At that time, I didn't know anything about the combination of some ingredients and the selection of materials. But it's different now. These days, I have been reading and studying almost every day. At the same time, I have also done a lot of practical work. I have tasted it myself, and I personally think it tastes very good!" Wang Jinxue's questioning made Lu Yuan very unconvinced!
"Lu Yuan...you...you're not having a problem with your sense of taste, are you?" Wang Jinxue frowned and showed a hint of worry: "Don't eat the food you make in the future. Really, I now suspect that you may have been poisoned and lost your sense of taste."
"Jinxue, have you ever heard the saying, don't despise the young and poor?"
It's a nice sunny day today.
In the distance, a group of children were playing and making noise.
On the rooftop balcony of the remote entertainment center, Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue. For the first time in his life, he felt like he was being questioned.
This feeling is quite bad.
This made him feel his blood boiling.
"Lu Yuan, I didn't bully you because you are poor. At the same time, you are not poor, and you are not a teenager anymore... I am just stating a fact rationally..." Wang Jinxue shook her head slightly.
She was actually quite speechless.
She really had no way to describe Lu Yuan's persistence.
How come a person as talented as you is stuck in a dead end and can't get out?
It's fine that you have talent in this area, but you...
You...
Wang Jinxue felt a little messy.
"Jinxue, I don't blame you if you don't believe me. I'll prove it to you now. Wait for me to light a fire. You can try the food after I bake it... I promise, I swear on my own name, I'm really not the same person I was before. I'm different now!"
The scene of pretending to be cool and then getting slapped in the face did not appear.
The plot that appeared was just Lu Yuan's attempt to prove himself...
"If I don't eat, I won't come up at night." Wang Jinxue shook her head, looking unusually determined, and then turned and left: "Okay, I have to get busy."
…
"Old Lu, are you free tonight? I'll take you to taste some top-notch food..."
"Mr. Lu, um, I'm preparing for tomorrow's opening ceremony... Although the opening ceremony has been postponed, I still need to be busy..."
"Okay, Sister Xia is here too?"
"yes."
"oh."
One minute after hanging up the phone.
"Hello? Fatty Wei, are you here? I'll take you to try something delicious tonight..."
"What? You're busy? What are you busy with... a new movie? Bullshit, you don't even have a script for the new movie, what are you busy with? Come over here, don't talk nonsense, what? You're in Shanghai? Why the hell are you in Shanghai again? Okay, okay! I'll call Lao Li, what? Qian Zhong and Lao Li are both in Shanghai and can't make it?"
"Wang Long, what are you busy with recently? What, you are going to participate in a commercial performance in Yanjing tonight? Okay, you go ahead and do your work first..."
"Zhou Shuai... Damn it, I didn't even say anything and you just said you were busy. Are you such a big shot now? Damn it! What do you mean? Okay, okay..."
"Brother Shen, what are you doing? Preparing for a new album? You can't go hungry while preparing for a new album. Come on, I'll take you to eat something good tonight. What? You can't make it in time, why did you go to Taiwan?"
“…”
After a burst of noise, everything became quiet for everyone.
Yes, silence.
Lu Yuan looked at his phone and began to doubt his life.
Are you all so fucking busy?
In the distance, Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan's somewhat disappointed expression and hesitated for a moment...
final.
She shook her head and pulled out her phone.
"Hello? An Xiao, I won't go out tonight..."
"Yes, there is something."
“…”
