The aroma of fried chicken wafted into other dormitories, and many girls craned their necks to look. The portion was too large to finish, so Chu Yu invited them in and asked them to help taste it and give their opinions.
Several girls from other classes gave some very pertinent advice.
Chu Yu wrote them down one by one.
Someone even provided a recipe for chicken, and Chu Yu couldn't help but marvel at how talented Chinese people are when it comes to food; almost every family has one or two unique recipes.
The two girls' recipes are for braised pork rice and shredded pork rice with five spices.
The girl who provided the recipe for braised pork rice, in particular, patted her chest and guaranteed that her braised pork rice was so delicious it would make the residents of the family compound drool.
"Every time my mom makes braised pork rice, the whole neighborhood knows about it. Many families bring their own meat and ask my mom to help them cook. Some people even jokingly suggest that my mom open a shop. It's really delicious!"
Shu Hui's braised pork rice was indeed a bit ordinary. Good braised pork rice restaurants can stay open for decades with long queues every day because the braising sauce and the meat are both very important for making delicious braised pork rice.
The recipe must be extraordinary to make something that everyone in the neighborhood loves.
Since the other party was willing to provide it for free, Chu Yu accepted it without hesitation, but also promised the girl that he would bring her more food in the future.
Before classes officially started, Chu Yu returned to the courtyard house in the evening. Shu Hui and Chu Chu had just arrived, and she was worried that the two of them wouldn't be used to life in Beijing, so she wanted to show them around.
Shu Hui made the recipe provided by her classmate, and you know what? The aroma was completely different after she made it.
Just lifting the lid of the pot is enough to make anyone's mouth water.
Add some boiled eggs and some green vegetables to go with it, and this bowl of rice will make your mouth water, and that's no exaggeration.
After the mother and her two daughters had been trying out different dishes for several days, Chu Yu wanted Shu Hui to take a break. Before Shu Hui started school, Chu Yu wanted to take her to visit Tsinghua University, climb the Great Wall, and take a commemorative photo at the entrance of Tiananmen Square.
It was Shu Hui's first time in the city, and she was a little reserved in her speech. Chu Yu was very tolerant of her and always taught her with extra patience.
Chu Yu also taught them how to take the bus, read a map, ask for directions, and understand traffic rules.
Chu Chu learned quickly, and Shu Hui, having gained experience in Deyang, also grew rapidly.
Chu Yu then took them around the entire city of Beijing. Once people got used to it, they weren't so panicked anymore. After a few days, Shu Hui was even able to go out to buy soy sauce and vegetables.
Chu Chu is even more remarkable; she can take the bus to Tiananmen Square by herself and knows how to transfer buses. She adapts very well.
After settling them in, Chu Yu wrote a letter to Chu Xiang, worried that she might be lonely at home alone, and encouraged her to do well in her exams so that they could reunite in Beijing.
Before the start of the semester, Chu Yu met with Zhong Buyi and asked him to take a look at Chu Chu's aptitude.
No matter the era, the one who pays the bills is always the father. Chu Yu invested in establishing the company, secured investment from Mi Fei, and even had connections to ensure the TV series could be released.
Zhong Buyi, a recent college graduate, naturally wanted to seize such an opportunity.
Chu Yu is stunningly beautiful, though Chu Chu can't compare to her sister, but she has her own unique charm.
Chu Chu's face is very appealing to audiences; she's cute and mischievous. Her cheeks aren't sunken; she has a bit of baby fat, which is exactly the type that audiences like in this era.
It doesn't matter if you don't have acting skills. Where can you find actors with acting skills these days? Everyone is a blank slate. Zhong Buyi and Chu Yu have discussed it and decided to set up an acting training class after the spring and invite professional teachers to teach new actors how to act.
They will also invite professional photography instructors to guide them on how to take better photos.
Please ask He Lu, as a fashion designer, to guide them in industry knowledge.
After several months of closed training and filming, Chu Yu was convinced that he could draw a satisfactory totem on a blank sheet of paper.
Zhong Buyi was determined to take good care of Chu Chu's sister, no matter what. He praised Chu Chu a few times and then patted his chest to guarantee it:
"I'm the director, so acting is no problem for me. I'm especially good at directing crying scenes. The female lead has a lot of crying scenes when she was a child, so I'll take care of your sister's part."
With his assurance, Chu Yu finally felt a little relieved.
She never hid her intentions. She was willing to promote her younger sister whenever she had money. After promoting her second younger sister, she promoted her youngest younger sister. Her second younger sister became a writer, and her youngest younger sister became an actress.
After all three sisters made something of themselves, they took care of and supported each other.
It's better than her going it alone.
When will the actor auditions begin?
"Next month, I guess? I'll need you to come with me then, to help me choose the actors."
Chu Yu also pushed a few people over, many of whom were passersby in "Searching for Emily". She had Chen Yun look for these people, and if they were willing to come to Beijing to audition, Chu Yu would reimburse their train tickets.
The production crew also covered all the food, drinks, accommodation, and transportation.
Whether they are willing to seize the opportunity or not is their own business, and Chu Yu cannot force them.
However, she will definitely be there on the day of the audition. She will sign any actors she likes, and as one of the first veterans of the entertainment company, she will give the most outstanding ones a lead role package.
Those who perform well, have good character, and are good-looking are sent to Hong Kong to gain experience and enhance their skills before returning to the mainland. They can earn money in Hong Kong and then in the mainland, making just as much money as they could in Hong Kong.
There's no rush for the auditions; Zhong Buyi still needs to polish the script. He believes that only a solid script makes the filming of a TV series meaningful; otherwise, the result will be no different from garbage.
Chu Xiang is young, and the logic in some parts of the book is not rigorous enough. The characters do some things without sufficient reasons to support or drive them, which Zhong Buyi cannot tolerate.
He revised the script multiple times, repeatedly refining and rewriting it, until the fifth version was finally satisfactory.
He wanted to think about it some more, so that if problems arose with the script during filming, it wouldn't affect the quality of the TV series and make the public critical and ridiculed.
Shu Hui's fried chicken shop needs a name and a suitable location. In addition, once the fried chicken is made, packaging becomes a big problem.
Overseas fried chicken shops already have standardized packaging paper, and Coca-Cola also has disposable beverage cups and straws, but it is difficult to buy these things in China, which is a real headache for Chu Yu.
No matter how good a hamburger is, it can't be taken away without proper wrapping paper. You can't expect customers to pack it in a lunchbox, can you?
Chu Yu hasn't chosen drinks for the fried chicken shop yet, but the soft drinks on the market are fine, and Coca-Cola has already entered the Chinese market.
The fried chicken shop lacks brand recognition and cannot secure partnerships with major brands.
They can only buy finished products from distributors and make their own drinks by adding ice.
Chu Yu thought that since there was no long-term cooperative relationship, she couldn't pin her hopes on cola. She should also be innovative and make some milk tea, fruit tea, or something similar.
There are too many things to do, and we have to deal with them one by one. First, we need to solve the problem of the store location. After finding a suitable store, we can slowly negotiate the price with the owner.
While working on pricing, we continued to develop new products and tried to obtain disposable packaging paper.
Shu Hui originally wanted to find a small shop near Tsinghua University, or even open one inside the university campus. In recent years, Tsinghua University has been helping to solve employment problems; a car repair shop just opened on campus. It's not impossible for Chu Yu to open a fried chicken shop inside Tsinghua University.
However, Tsinghua University currently has a relatively small student population, and students have winter and summer vacations as well as many holidays, so Chu Yu is not optimistic about campus fast food.
We should still open the store outdoors.
What do you think of Qianmen Street?
