Chapter 75
Liu Luoke felt a little guilty, but then she thought to herself that she had not lied. She did eat the cold kelp salad and loofah and shrimp soup, but she did not say that she also ate fried chicken legs.
Back at the hotel, Liu Luoke was still savoring the aroma of the fried chicken legs. As she thought about it, she felt a little guilty, guilty that she had not been able to control herself.
But on second thought, eating fried chicken legs occasionally is not a big deal, you don’t have to eat it every day.
Then she continued to watch some videos of Kangle lunch boxes on the Internet, such as braised pork, braised pig's trotters, and crispy pork...
There are so many delicious foods that Liu Luoke is more and more greedy, but she knows that as a star who is filming, she must strictly control her diet. Although the Kangle lunch box is very delicious, she plans to eat it at most twice a week, so that she can satisfy her cravings without affecting her figure.
Having already eaten there once today, Liu Luoke plans to eat there again in three days.
"Liu Luoke, you can do it." Liu Luoke believed in his self-control.
The next day was another day without Liu Luoke's role. She woke up in the morning and watched some videos about teachers. Because the role she played in the drama was an elementary school teacher, she carefully observed the elementary school teacher's speaking speed and expression, hoping that she could perform better next time.
When it was time for lunch at noon, Liu Luoke thought of the Kangle lunch box again.
"You can't eat it today. You can only eat it after three days." Liu Luoke always kept his plan in mind and could only eat the Kangle lunch boxes twice a week at most.
In order to avoid thinking about the lunch box, Liu Luoke decided to drive out to get some fresh air. Before coming to Haishi, a friend recommended a temple in Haishi to her, saying it was very effective. Liu Luoke planned to pray for career and financial luck, and then have lunch nearby.
Liu Luoke went out wearing casual clothes. The temple was on the east side of Hai City. Liu Luoke followed the navigation and drove all the way there. When passing the bridge, she thought of Kangle Lunch again. Not far after crossing the bridge was the Kangle Lunch Restaurant.
In just a moment, Liu Luoke turned and drove onto the bridge.
"I eat it twice a week. Once yesterday and once today. That's exactly twice a week. I won't eat it in the next few days." Liu Luoke felt that what he said was reasonable.
When they arrived at the Kanglehe Restaurant, Liu Luoke queued up obediently. Today she had braised pig ears, tiger skin chicken feet, hot and sour potato shreds and seaweed and pork soup. She was very happy and satisfied with the meal.
Originally, she planned to eat it only twice a week, but she couldn't help it and ate it almost every day. She was very happy when she ate it, but began to regret it after eating it. After regretting it, she couldn't help eating it again the next day. Liu Luoke kept switching back and forth between happiness and guilt.
Later, she simply gave up treatment and ate whatever she wanted without worrying about it every day.
But Liu Luoke still has the awareness of being a star. In order to avoid too much change in her figure, Liu Luoke, who usually doesn't like exercising, started to go to the gym every day.
When her agent Guo Shibo learned that Liu Luoke went to the gym every day, he felt a little strange because Liu Luoke hated exercise. Last time when she was overeating and getting fat, she would rather eat soup and cabbage every day to lose weight than go to the gym.
Now that he suddenly goes to the gym every day, Guo Shibo always feels that something is fishy.
So he sent a message to Liu Luoke.
Guo Shibo: [Xiao Ke, I heard that you go to the gym every day recently. Why do you suddenly like going to the gym? ]
Ever since Liu Luoke started eating Kangle lunch boxes without telling her agent, she would always panic every time she received a message from her agent.
Liu Luoke: [I heard that fitness can make the skin tighter, I want to try it out to see if it’s true. ]
Liu Luoke made up a random sentence.
Seeing the message sent by Liu Luoke, Guo Shibo felt a little relieved. He felt that Liu Luoke had become mature and was no longer the occasionally willful little girl.
Guo Shibo: [Fitness is a good thing, I hope you can keep going. I will go to Haishi tomorrow, and I will go to the gym with you. I know the most about fitness, and I can teach you some techniques.]
Because Liu Luoke had very few scenes, only one scene a week, Guo Shibo left the next day after joining the crew and returned to the company to deal with other matters, leaving an assistant to take care of Liu Luoke.
After finishing his work at the company, Guo Shibo decided to go to the crew. Last time, Liu Luoke's speech was stuck on the hot search and caused heated discussion. Guo Shibo personally called the director to apologize, hoping that the director could teach Liu Luoke and assured him that Liu Luoke's speech was stuck only because of nervousness.
From the director's tone, Guo Shibo knew that the director was very unhappy. This time when he went to the crew, he planned to help Liu Luoke with some things.
When Liu Luoke learned that his agent was coming to the crew, his first reaction was to refuse.
Liu Luoke: [You don’t have to come. I’m fine on the set alone. You can continue to work on the company’s business.]
Liu Luoke didn't want Guo Shibo to come over at all. If Guo Shibo came, she wouldn't be able to secretly eat the Kangle lunch box.
Guo Shibo: [You are not good enough on your own. Last time, you caused a lot of public opinion because of the line jam. If I hadn't helped you control the public opinion, you might have been scolded all day.]
Guo Shibo has confirmed that he will come tomorrow. Liu Luoke has no way to stop him. She can only endure it tomorrow. She can still endure it for one day, and then she will go for a big meal after Guo Shibo leaves.
"It's just one day of not eating, no big deal." Liu Luoke has already accepted the fact that he won't be able to eat the boxed lunch tomorrow.
As a result, in the evening, Liu Luoke saw a piece of news that Kangle Lunch Box would launch new dishes tomorrow.
Wandering Moon Mountain: [Did you see the news? The aunt at the convenience store next to the Box Restaurant said that Kangle Box Restaurant will have new dishes tomorrow. ]
Lele 20196724: [I heard that tomorrow's new dish is salt and pepper oyster mushrooms. Are you ready? Let's go eat the new dishes together tomorrow. ]
No worries every day yy: [Wow, this new dish is vegetarian, I like it, I must go eat it tomorrow! ]
Originally, Liu Luoke thought it was no big deal to not eat the Kangle lunch box for a day, but when she saw that there would be new dishes tomorrow, she also wanted to try the new dishes tomorrow.
He really knows how to pick days. He comes early instead of late, but comes on the day when Kangle Lunch launches new dishes. Liu Luoke couldn't help but complain.
In order to taste the new dishes tomorrow, Liu Luoke began to think of various ways to get rid of Guo Shibo and secretly go to the Heya Restaurant tomorrow.
The crew will have her part early tomorrow. It is a very short scene and can be finished in the morning. Then she can find an excuse to go out for a walk at noon and then sneak out to eat a box lunch.
Everything has been planned and she will try new dishes tomorrow.
The next day, Liu Luoke got up early to put on makeup. Today's role was also a very simple one. She played an elementary school teacher leading the students in the class to do exercises. She had a total of four lines, one more line than last time.
After stuttering during her last speech, Liu Luoke practiced for a long time to try to avoid stuttering during filming. Guo Shibo, who arrived early in the morning, also cheered her on, "It's okay, believe in yourself, you are the best."
Originally, Liu Luoke thought that she wouldn't have any big problems. She was nervous because she had no experience for the first time. But practice makes perfect, and she thought she wouldn't be nervous this time.
She was indeed not that nervous this time, but for some reason she still stuttered when delivering her lines.
"What the hell are you talking about? Take a break and start again." Director Lu Hongchang suppressed his anger. He didn't want to lose his temper at a girl in public. Of course, if it got to the point where he couldn't bear it anymore, he might really lose his temper.
He was very angry the moment the investor arranged an idol to join the crew. Now he was even angrier when he saw that Liu Luoke couldn't even speak his lines properly.
Guo Shibo whispered to comfort Liu Luoke: "It's okay, the acting is actually not bad, just relax and speak the lines smoothly and it will be OK!"
In fact, Liu Luoke's performance has exceeded his expectations. His acting demeanor was very good, except for the pauses when he was delivering his lines.
Liu Luoke felt that he was not that nervous and he remembered the lines very clearly, but for some reason he would pause while speaking.
Suddenly Liu Luoke thought of a serious problem. If she kept stuttering while speaking her lines, she would need to shoot again and again, and it might not be finished until noon.
If she didn't finish taking the photos at noon, she wouldn't be able to sneak to Kangle for lunch. When Liu Luoke thought of this, she wanted to just take the photos once and be done with it.
During the break, Liu Luoke saw the director sitting on the stool with a sullen look on his face. Lu Hongchang is a very good director, and it is said that many actors have improved their acting skills under his guidance.
In order to finish the filming as soon as possible and have a box lunch, Liu Luoke mustered up the courage to walk over and ask the director for advice.
Originally, Lu Hongchang was angry and didn't want to pay attention to Liu Luo, but considering that she was a little girl, Lu Hongchang still talked to her seriously for a while.
Liu Luoke listened very carefully. Lu Hongchang emphasized a key point, which was to let her immerse herself in the role, not to keep thinking about the lines herself, not to treat speaking the lines as reciting an essay, but to treat herself as an elementary school teacher and express what she wanted to express naturally.
Liu Luoke finally understood where her problem was. When she was performing, she was thinking about the role of a primary school teacher, and the lines she was going to say were these, not that she was a primary school teacher. So when she was not paying attention, she would get stuck because she was not fully immersed in the role.
Liu Luoke thought about it carefully, she calmed down and tried to immerse herself in the role.
This method worked. When she was completely immersed in the role, she spoke her lines very naturally without any lag.
It went very smoothly and the director gave the green light after two takes.
It was just half past ten when she finished filming her scenes. Liu Luoke was happily preparing to finish work and go back to the hotel, and then find an excuse to go out and secretly go to a box restaurant.
As a result, when she asked her assistants to pack up and prepare to leave the set, Guo Shibo stopped them.
"Don't rush back. There's nothing to do this afternoon. Xiao Ke, stay and watch how the seniors perform. Learn from them."
Guo Shibo hopes Liu Luoke can be more active and leave a good impression on the director. If the director has a good impression of you, he may introduce you to other directors in the future. If the director has a bad impression of you, then your reputation in this circle will be bad, which will affect your subsequent development.
After hearing what Guo Shibo said, Liu Luoke, who was originally planning to go to eat the Kangle lunch box, felt disappointed.
My new dish! My new dish!
Liu Luoke's heart was bleeding. He had worked so hard to finish his part, but he didn't expect to be forced by his agent to stay and study.
"Brother Guo, can we come back to study tomorrow?" Liu Luoke said embarrassedly.
"No! Your performance today was pretty good. You must take advantage of this opportunity to leave a better impression on the director."
Originally, Guo Shibo thought that the director hated Liu Luoke very much, but just now, when he saw the director teaching Liu Luoke seriously, he felt that the director did not hate Liu Luoke very much. If Liu Luoke stayed to study now, he would definitely leave a better impression on the director.
Guo Shibo's attitude was very firm, and Liu Luoke had no choice but to reluctantly tell the new dishes that they would see each other tomorrow.
Having managed artists in the entertainment industry for so many years, Guo Shibo knows that in addition to capital, the entertainment industry is also very concerned with human relationships.
In addition to allowing Liu Luoke to stay and study, he also planned to treat the crew members to a meal.
Guo Shibo asked Xiao Ji to go to the most famous Lihua Hotel in Hai City to pack some delicious food. He packed lunch for the crew members today.
By taking care of some relationships, Liu Luoke can have a smoother time in the crew.
When Liu Luoke heard Guo Shibo say that he wanted to treat the crew members to a meal, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a very good idea.
She originally thought that she wouldn't be able to eat the new dishes today, but she instantly became happy again.
"Brother Guo, let me introduce you to a delicious restaurant. I guarantee it will be better than the Lihua Hotel." Liu Luoke suggested.
"I heard that the food at Lihua Hotel is the best in Hai City. Where can you find better food?" Guo Shibo went to Lihua Hotel for dinner on the first day he arrived in Hai City. The food was indeed good.
"Brother Guo, you only stayed in Hai City for one day, but I stayed in Hai City for more than a week. I know Hai City better than you." Liu Luoke said confidently.
Guo Shibo really didn't know Haishi very well, and since Liu Luoke knew there was a good restaurant, he let Liu Luoke make the decision.
Guo Shibo: "Then send the address of the restaurant to Xiao Ji and ask him to buy some back."
"Okay!" Liu Luoke was almost laughing madly.
Soon she sent the address of the Kangle Box Lunch Restaurant to her assistant Xiao Ji. This way she could treat the crew members to delicious boxed lunches, and she could also try the new dishes of Kangle Box Lunch. It was a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.
Liu Luoke was in a good mood after making sure that he could have a box lunch today. He began to sit aside and watch the performances of his predecessors seriously. There were many senior actors in the crew. They were very relaxed when acting, and sometimes even felt that they were not acting, but being themselves.
Liu Luoke hopes that he can reach this level one day.
On the other side, Chen Kangle was preparing today's new dish, salt and pepper oyster mushrooms, in the kitchen.
The most important thing about salt and pepper oyster mushrooms is the salt and pepper. Most people use the ready-made salt and pepper on the market to make salt and pepper oyster mushrooms. Chen Kangle has tried the ready-made salt and pepper on the market, but she is not very satisfied with the taste.
So she decided to use her own homemade pepper salt. Chen Kangle has his own unique pepper salt recipe.
The most important thing in making pepper salt is to select peppercorns. The quality of peppercorns directly affects the final taste of pepper salt. The freshness of peppercorns determines the fragrance of peppercorns. The fresher the peppercorns, the stronger the fragrance. Therefore, you must select fresh and high-quality peppercorns when making pepper salt.
Pour fresh peppercorns into a pan without any oil, stir-fry over low heat, and add fennel after the aroma comes out. Fennel can make the taste of pepper salt more intense and rich.
After frying for 5 minutes, add white sesame seeds. Fry until the white sesame seeds turn slightly yellow and then pour in coarse salt. Compared with fine salt, coarse salt can make the taste of pepper salt stronger.
When the coarse salt is fried until slightly yellow, turn off the heat and pour it into a container to cool. After it cools, pour it into a food processor and grind it into powder. This way, the pepper salt is ready.
Chen Kangle made enough for three days at once. If the prepared pepper salt is stored for a long time, the taste will gradually fade, so it is best to use it up within three days.
In addition to salt and pepper, it is also very important to prepare the batter when making salt and pepper oyster mushrooms. The batter should be a little thicker, so thick that it can be drawn into threads.
Then pour the washed and torn oyster mushrooms into the batter and stir evenly so that all the oyster mushrooms are coated with the batter.
Heat oil in a pan until it is 50% hot, pour in the batter-coated oyster mushrooms, fry over medium-low heat until golden brown, then remove from the pan. Continue to heat the oil until it is 70% hot, then add the oyster mushrooms and fry again. Fry for about 30 seconds, remove from the pan, sprinkle with pepper and salt, and mix well. The salt and pepper oyster mushrooms are ready.
Chen Kangle made three different kinds of pepper and salt oyster mushrooms using three different kinds of pepper and salt. One was homemade pepper and salt, and the other two were ready-made pepper and salt bought from the supermarket.
After the three portions of pepper and salt were ready, Chen Kangle asked Xiang Yunting and others to come in and taste them, and then tell him which one he thought was the best.
Xiang Yunting and his friends all enjoyed trying the new dishes very much, and everyone came over to taste them happily.
"Oh my god! There are three servings of salt and pepper mushrooms. We made a killing."
"I can definitely guess which one is Mr. Kang Le's. The best one among the three must be made with Mr. Kang Le's homemade pepper and salt."
Xiang Yunting was the first to pick up his chopsticks. He ate the first plate on the right first. The oyster mushrooms were crispy and fragrant. After being fried, they had a fluffy texture. They made a crunchy sound when you took a bite, and the more you chewed, the more fragrant it became.
In addition to the crispy fragrance, there is also a unique mushroom flavor, coupled with a rich pepper and salt flavor, the aroma is off the charts.
Xiang Yunting tasted three different servings of salt and pepper oyster mushrooms in turn. All three were equally crispy, but the difference was the aroma of the pepper and salt.
The first portion has a light pepper and salt flavor, the second portion has a strong pepper and salt flavor but a little salty, and the third portion has the most fragrant pepper and salt flavor, which is very salty and fragrant with a slight spicy taste. Paired with crispy oyster mushrooms, it is fragrant and crispy, with the most perfect taste.
Xiang Yunting came to the conclusion immediately, "The third one is made with the homemade pepper and salt made by Boss Kang Le. I am 100% sure of it."
After eating, Lin Huiling also felt that the third portion was the best. "I also think the third portion is the best. Although the first and second portions tasted good, the flavor of the pepper and salt was still a little lacking."
Gan Xiangping also said excitedly: "It's definitely the third one. The fragrance of the third one is much better than the first and second ones. Only Kang Le can make pepper salt that smells so good."
Zhao Xiaodai and Du Yinzhu also agreed that it was the third one. Their judgment was correct. The third one was indeed made with Chen Kangle’s homemade pepper salt.
"Hahaha, I guessed right. The best one is from Boss Kang Le." Xiang Yunting picked up a third serving of salt and pepper mushrooms and took a bite. The aroma was the best.
“Anyone who has eaten this can guess that the taste of the other two portions of pepper and salt oyster mushrooms is just average. If it weren’t for the good taste of the fried oyster mushrooms by Boss Kang Le, the taste of those two portions of pepper and salt oyster mushrooms might be even worse.” This is the conclusion Gan Xiangping came to after careful tasting. The reason why they think the other two portions of pepper and salt oyster mushrooms taste good is because the oyster mushrooms were fried very crispy and fragrant, and the crispness of the oyster mushrooms added points to the whole dish of pepper and salt oyster mushrooms.
In order to avoid waste, they finished all three servings of salt and pepper mushrooms, and sighed as they ate, saying that the salt and pepper made by Chen Kangle was indeed different.
At this time, Xiao Ji was driving to Kangle Box Restaurant. After receiving the address sent by Liu Luoke, he saw that it was a box restaurant in the suburbs. Xiao Ji felt a little strange. How could the restaurant recommended by Liu Luoke be a box restaurant in the suburbs?
When Xiao Ji saw the suburban box-packed rice restaurant, the first thing that came to his mind was that small and simple fast food restaurant.
In order to make sure that Liu Luoke did not send the wrong address, Xiao Ji went to confirm with Liu Luoke.
Xiao Ji: [Sister Xiao Ke, are you sure the address you sent is correct? ]
Xiao Ji: [Is the restaurant you recommended the Kang Le He Restaurant? ]
Liu Luoke, who was taking a break on the set, quickly replied to the message.
Liu Luoke: [Yes, the address is correct, it is this Kang Le He Restaurant. ]
After confirming, Xiao Ji continued driving towards the suburbs.
She thought that maybe not all box-eating restaurants were small and simple, and perhaps the box-eating restaurant recommended by Liu Luoke was exquisite and high-end.
