Originally, Sheng Guangyi planned to take the big star to a high-end barbecue restaurant for dinner, but in order to "please" Yun Nuan, a top foodie, he asked the driver to go to his private treasure shop.
Don't be fooled by his image as a refined scholar who eats walnuts and wears a Zhongshan suit. In fact, he often checks in at some down-to-earth small restaurants behind the scenes.
As soon as he got off the car, he led Tang Xiao and his group into an old neighborhood with a strong sense of fireworks.
The old street was bustling with people, and Tang Xiao quickly tightened his mask and baseball cap.
Sheng Guangyi caught his action and suddenly remembered that he was a top star in the film and television industry.
He hurriedly led everyone into the narrow alley next to him.
The narrow alley is much quieter and more peaceful, but it is a little longer to go through the back door.
Arriving at the back door of the food stall, Sheng Guangyi called the owner.
Soon, the boss personally opened the door to receive them and welcomed them into a private room on the second floor.
Ever since entering the old street, Tang Xiao's nerves have never relaxed.
Although celebrities are indeed glamorous, they will always encounter some troubles when they want to return to ordinary life.
When he got to the box, he took off his mask and baseball cap and let out a long sigh.
He half-jokingly said, "Teacher Sheng, this place is a bit thrilling."
Sheng Guangyi bowed to him and said, "I'm sorry, I scared you. But the barbecue here is the best in Beijing. It would be a shame if I didn't bring everyone here to try it."
Wei Siming looked around the box and then glanced at the menu in the boss's hand.
He rubbed his chin and sighed, "So this is the shop... It's been open for quite a few years, right? I've heard from several customers before that the lamb and beef here are so tender and freshly scraped."
The boss nodded. "That's right. Most barbecue restaurants out there serve semi-finished frozen meat, or mixed meat with duck. Ours uses only real fresh meat, and all other ingredients are bought at the morning market. There are very few dishes left overnight, and the toppings are all homemade, not those chili powder and sweet and spicy sauces bought from the supermarket."
"As long as it's something you put into your mouth, the ingredients are really important. You put a lot of thought into this, no wonder your business is so booming."
Wei Siming glanced out the window at the block and saw many customers sitting on small stools waiting for their turn.
Tang Xiao listened and thought that since this place could get praise from Chef Wei, it must be really good.
He asked Sheng Guangyi curiously, "Teacher Sheng, why are you interested in going to these small streets to eat meat? I see you..."
He hesitated to speak.
Of course Sheng Guangyi knew what Tang Xiao was going to say.
He added, "I don't look like someone who could work at a street stall, right? Haha, don't think too highly of me. Only by getting down to the grassroots can your paintings have more soul!"
Tang Xiao couldn't help but reveal a hint of reverence.
However, the boss couldn't help but put him down: "Don't think too much, he's just greedy and loves to eat, otherwise he wouldn't be so greasy. A few years ago, Mr. Sheng didn't eat midnight snacks and didn't gain weight, he still had some charm, but now..."
Sheng Guangyi quickly interrupted: "Hey, hey, I'm an artist, please give me some face."
The boss couldn't help laughing, and had to let everyone order their dishes for the sake of their long-time friendship, and then he told the kitchen to go.
Sheng Guangyi was busy pouring tea for everyone. Thinking about the child's temper, he ordered a pot of freshly squeezed watermelon juice for her.
Yun Nuan drank with gusto, her eyes narrowed, and her expression was so happy.
Taking advantage of the little girl's good mood, Sheng Guangyi gently asked her: "Xiao Yunnuan, can you tell Teacher Sheng where did you get the inspiration for your painting today?"
Yun Nuan took a sip of watermelon juice and fell into deep thought...
