As he spoke, Director Zhang's gaze subconsciously fell on the artists on the stage. However, the next moment, he was suddenly stunned.
Six? Wait, that number... doesn't seem right? One, two, three, four, five... where's the six? But according to the plan, the show did invite six guests. Since newcomer Zhou Ying got in trouble and was removed, the last artist should be the temporary replacement.
He said he wanted to find a good girl, but why is there no one here now? Don’t tell that guy that he accidentally got stuck at an airport and couldn’t catch up with us!
The thought of this possibility intensified Director Zhang's fury, his voice tinged with irritation. "Where's the other person? Where's the artist replacing Zhou Ying? Where's she going?! Tell me your name!"
Director Zhang is usually very generous and treating people to meals is a common thing, but when it comes to work, he is like the devil, especially when he gets angry, the people under him dare not even breathe and wish they could disappear on the spot.
Just like at this moment, the lively dinner party with people talking and laughing suddenly became silent and completely quiet.
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to touch this bad luck. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards the replacement artist who they didn't even recognize and had no idea who he was.
You say, as a replacement, why not just stay put? It's already a great honor to have the opportunity to participate in such a big production. Why are you acting so pretentiously? Why don't you look at the heavyweight lineup of others?
But then again, what was the name of the artist who replaced them? They vaguely remembered that during the opening scene, the other party seemed to show his face and also said his name, which seemed to be...
"Yu...Yu Yu."
A small, white, tender hand with greasy fingers was raised tremblingly in the silent air.
The owner of this little hand was holding a half-eaten roasted pork chop in his mouth, with tears in his eyes and a trembling face, as if he was frightened by Director Zhang.
To be honest, although it is very sad that my wallet was emptied, I can't hate Director Zhang as a person.
Firstly, the girl really helped a lot and did some practical things. Secondly, the girl was pretty and looked well-behaved. But considering the way she looked like she was about to cry because of him, Director Zhang really couldn't be fierce to her.
His expression softened slightly before Director Zhang spoke again, "It's okay. I'm not talking about you anymore. You did a good job. Just keep working hard. I was talking about the artist who temporarily replaced you..."
"No, sorry... Director Zhang, I'm the replacement artist, Yu Yu. I think I introduced myself when I first arrived at the airport..."
For a moment, the air was somewhat silent.
This kind of silence was what Yu Yu felt most uncomfortable and disliked the most, especially now, Director Zhang looked dazed, as if he was frightened by her, which made Yu Yu feel even more embarrassed.
She didn't blame the production team for not remembering her. After all, she wasn't very popular and was often treated as a transparent person. Such situations had happened many times in the past.
Besides, Yu Yu also thought that she did not do a good job and did not take the initiative to reveal the identity of her character in the middle. It is reasonable for her to apologize.
But... looking at the pot of roasted pork ribs in front of me that I have almost finished, it has become a little cold now. If it is left for a while longer, the roasted pork ribs will lose its "soul".
It's okay to be scolded, it doesn't hurt anyway, but the thought that the roasted spareribs will lose their "soul" makes Yu Yu so heartbroken that he can't breathe.
Thinking of this, Yu Yu raised his hand to introduce himself, and then he couldn't help but speak again, adding with an extremely serious expression:
"But wait, Director Zhang, give me ten minutes. After ten minutes, I will definitely listen to your lecture and not refute a word you say. But if I don't eat the roasted spareribs quickly now, they will cry."
“!”
“!!”
“!!!”
The Shao Pai Gu fans didn’t know whether they would cry or not. They only knew that their director Zhang not only looked like he was about to cry, but also looked like he was going crazy.
This is not the point. The point is that they can no longer hold back the laughter that is shaking in their chests. Let them go, okay? They are innocent, and they can no longer hold back their laughter!
The staff around had faces that were a little distorted from trying to hold back laughter, and they were shouting in their hearts.
Especially Zhang Meng who was sitting next to Yu Yu, he had already curled up in a ball, twitching and shaking uncontrollably. Finally, when he accidentally glanced at his normally serious uncle with a look of "WTF" on his face, he officially broke down and couldn't help laughing.
Laughter is contagious.
The next moment, the entire audience burst into laughter uncontrollably, as if they had already forgotten the solemn and silent atmosphere just now.
Director Zhang's mood was even more complicated. At this moment, compared to anger, his heart was filled with "fuck" and he couldn't vent it.
He wanted to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat as he faced Yu's face, which said, "The roasted pork ribs will cry, let me finish eating them first."
So, Zhang Meng, who was laughing happily at the side, became even more annoying in Director Zhang's eyes. His face darkened, and Director Zhang directly sent a message to his "dear" nephew:
"I suddenly feel that what my brother said is absolutely right. Your family spoils you too much and shouldn't give you too much pocket money. So, I feel that I shouldn't make an exception for you. From now on, you should eat whatever the production crew eats!"
"..." Shit, what does this have to do with him? My uncle is just holding a grudge! Didn't he agree to go with the production team? If he didn't go to Africa to film lions, he would get pocket money? Liar!
Now, it was Zhang Meng's turn to cry. He pulled Yu Yu and complained with a sad face.
Yu Yu, who was completely focused on the great cause of not wanting the "Roasted Spare Ribs to Cry", was concentrating on gnawing on the roasted spare ribs. Of course, he didn't pay attention to what Zhang Meng was muttering, but seeing that the other person looked like he was about to cry...
Yu Yu looked at the remaining one-third of the roasted ribs, then looked at the other person's tearful expression, and finally closed his eyes tightly. With great pain, he divided a small portion of the remaining roasted ribs and placed it in front of Zhang Meng, saying:
"Come, don't be sad. I'll treat you to some roasted pork ribs. Once you're full, you'll feel better and won't feel like crying anymore."
“…”
Fish cannot be grilled over direct fire. It needs to be heated evenly. Otherwise, it will easily become inedible black charcoal fish. However, they did not have any suitable grilling utensils at the moment.
Yu Yu thought about it and asked Yang Yang and others to help cut some thick branches. Like the snail skewers, Yu Yu planned to skewer the sea fish directly and grill them.
Insert the thick branch directly into the fish's mouth, and finally use a little force to let the thick branch pass through the fish's tail, so that the sea fish is firmly hung on it, and use a knife to make many even scratches on the fish's body, so that the fish meat inside can be heated more easily.
After threading four or five sea fish, Yu Yu placed the thick branches around the fire, inserted them into the sand at a 45-degree angle, and fixed them in place. At first glance, they looked like a bunch of inward-facing spears, except that each spear was hung with plump sea fish.
The residual heat of the flame slowly roasted the skewered sea fish. Every few minutes, the fish skewers were turned over. Gradually, the surface of the fish turned into a beautiful and attractive brown color, the fish skin fried up, and the fish meat inside gradually turned white and turned outward.
Drops of fish oil either slid down the thick branches or dripped directly onto the fire. With a "sizzle", strings of stimulated flames began to form one after another, like elves dancing in the fire.
When the sea fish is grilled to perfection, Yu Yu will pull out the sea fish skewers, place them where the flame is the strongest, and quickly grill them on both sides to make the surface of the sea fish more golden and crispy. When you take a bite regardless of the heat, you can almost hear the crisp sound of the seared fish skin being cracked by your teeth. Accompanied by the perfectly grilled fish meat, it is simply a top-notch enjoyment.
But there is more than that. The fish soup that has been simmering for a while also makes a charming gurgling sound. When I open the lid of the iron lunch box, I can see that the fish soup has turned into a very beautiful milky white color. I tried to scoop out the small fish at the bottom, but it fell apart as soon as I picked it up. I couldn't pick up the whole fish no matter how hard I tried. It was obvious that the fish meat had been cooked to rot.
The only thing missing is the final, essential step: salt to enhance the flavor.
You don’t need to sprinkle too much, the fish soup is already very tasty, just a little bit of salt is needed to season it.
There is not much fish soup in an iron lunch box, probably only a few mouthfuls per person. The freshness and sweetness of the sea fish have been completely melted into the milky white fish soup. Because small fish are used, there is still a fishy smell, but it is not obvious.
On the contrary, because there were no extra seasonings available, just a little bit of salt was sprinkled, making the taste of the fish soup unusually pure, without any excessive impurities, and extremely wonderful.
A few bites of grilled fish will whet your appetite, a few sips of fish soup will warm your stomach, and then add the perfectly steamed lotus leaf fish.
Steamed fish in lotus leaves is another kind of enjoyment. Sea fish does not have any bones, and the steamed fish meat is easy to pick up, and you can get a large piece of fish meat when you pick it up.
The lotus leaves wrapped around the fish preserve the moisture and oil of the fish very well, and at the same time give the fish a bit of the aroma of the lotus leaves, making the steamed fish as smooth as tender tofu, and with an extremely sweet taste. Moreover, the meat of these sea fish is of excellent quality, and the taste is even better when eaten.
I have to say, this meal can be described as being devoured in no time.
