Meanwhile, in the living room of a residential community in Jindu.
A middle-aged couple sat in front of the television, their faces ashen as they watched their son, whose face was covered in red bumps, continuing to spread misinformation about braised beef.
Zhang Shao's words, "They will understand me," came from the television.
Mr. Zhang was so angry that he was trembling all over, his teeth were grinding together, and the remote control in his hand was being squeezed so hard that it seemed like it would break at any moment.
Zhang's mother also turned pale, took a deep breath, and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"When that brat gets back... I'll skin him alive!"
"How shameful! They've completely forgotten all the rules of our ancestors!"
Mr. Zhang nodded angrily: "Family discipline! Family discipline is a must!"
...
This incident, triggered by an allergy, has undoubtedly propelled the legendary status of "Zhouyang Braised Food" to new heights.
The diners at the scene went even crazier, and their desire to buy soared to unprecedented heights.
As a result, today's sales speed is even more astonishing than yesterday's.
Less than half an hour.
In fact, it could be said that in just over twenty minutes, all the braised food that Zhou Yang brought, including various vegetarian dishes, was sold out.
Even the last bit of broth left at the bottom of the pot was packed up and taken away.
"Sold out for today! Please come back tomorrow!"
Zhou Yang announced loudly.
A wailing erupted from the crowd.
But seeing Zhou Yang and Xu Yao pack up their stall quickly, everyone could only leave disappointed.
Many people are already planning what time they should arrive to queue up tomorrow.
Zhou Yang and Xu Yao packed up their stall and were preparing to go home.
Just then, a man wearing a flashy trendy shirt and large sunglasses that covered half of his face walked straight up to Zhou Yang.
The man looked to be in his thirties, rather thin, with slicked-back hair and a businesslike, enthusiastic smile on his lips.
"Mr. Zhou, wait a minute!"
The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of shrewd eyes, and took the initiative to extend his hand to greet Zhou Yang.
"Hello Mr. Zhou, I am Lin Chuan, a director."
Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow and politely shook hands with him.
"Director? Is something the matter?"
He was wondering what the other party's intentions were. Did they want to film a food documentary?
Lin Chuan smiled brightly, his tone carrying a deliberate air of familiarity.
"Boss Zhou, I watched your live stream of catching the fugitive yesterday, and I also saw today's news. Your braised food stall is absolutely phenomenally popular!"
"Moreover, Mr. Zhou, you yourself have a particularly good image and temperament. You are young, handsome, and stylish!"
Zhou Yang remained calm and waited for him to continue.
This opening line sounds a bit like a talent scout's.
As expected, Lin Chuan changed the subject and got straight to the point.
"That's right, I'm currently preparing for a period drama about food. The script is almost finished, and the investment is in place."
"Right now, the show is missing one character, a head chef in the imperial kitchen, who is very handsome, has superb cooking skills, and a very likable character."
He paused, observing Zhou Yang's reaction, and continued to throw out the bait: "This role has quite a few scenes. He's the fifth male lead, and he'll have about three to five episodes of screen time, which adds up to about an hour of screen time."
"I think your image, temperament, and skills are simply tailor-made for this role!"
Lin Chuan leaned closer, lowered his voice, and spoke with a seductive tone.
"Mr. Zhou, how about you try your hand at acting? What's it like to experience being an actor?"
"Don't worry about the pay, you definitely won't be shortchanged. Although our production isn't a top-tier big-budget film, we'll pay you ten thousand yuan a day, calculated on a daily basis! How about that?"
Zhou Yang raised an eyebrow.
"Really? Let me think about it."
"Alright, alright, take your time thinking about it!"
Lin Chuan's shrewd eyes darted around and landed on Xu Yao again, his smile growing even brighter.
"Oh my, Mr. Zhou, the beauty beside you...tsk tsk, she's truly a natural beauty!"
Lin Chuan spared no praise, even expressing a touch of exaggerated amazement.
"Miss, your looks and demeanor are far superior to many of today's minor celebrities! Would you be interested in coming to our film crew for a visit?"
He turned to Xu Yao, his enthusiasm undiminished: "We happen to be missing a third female lead in our drama. She's a pretty little palace maid who's next to the female lead. Her character is very likable, and she'd be a perfect match for your image!"
"Although my role isn't particularly large, it's more important than the fifth male lead role played by Boss Zhou. I can probably film for seven or eight days, and I can earn about seventy or eighty thousand yuan!"
"How about it? Do you want to team up with Boss Zhou? The pay is ten thousand a day, you won't be shortchanged!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yao's heart stirred slightly.
Filming a movie? That sounds pretty novel.
But what she really likes is money!
Ten thousand a day!
However, she wouldn't dare to venture into the entertainment industry alone; she'd heard it was incredibly chaotic and rife with unspoken rules.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang stroked his chin.
He wasn't obsessed with being a star, but he was naturally curious about things he had never experienced before.
More importantly... the conditions Lin Chuan offered were indeed tempting.
Ten thousand a day!
He now sells braised food at a stall. In less than half an hour, he can chop up more than 100 kilograms of braised food and sell it all, making a pure profit of tens of thousands of yuan.
The afternoons and evenings are completely free.
Go to the film set for a "casual visit" and experience what it's like to be an actor.
You can also use your free time in the afternoon and evening to earn extra money, which is simply a great opportunity!
It would be foolish not to make money when you can!
Zhou Yang quickly calculated in his mind, but his face remained expressionless. He simply looked at Xu Yao, wanting to see what she thought.
Xu Yao's eyes sparkled. "Boss Zhou, are you going or not? If you go, I'll go!"
Seeing that she clearly wanted to go, Zhou Yang nodded directly.
"Okay, Director Lin, let's go have some fun!"
"Ah! Good! That's great!"
Lin Chuan slapped his thigh, and the smile on his face became much more genuine.
"Then it's settled! Mr. Zhou, Ms. Xu, let's not delay, I'll take you to our film set now so you can familiarize yourselves with the environment?"
Zhou Yang nodded readily: "Okay, let's go take a look."
The three of them set off immediately.
Zhou Yang and Xu Yao quickly tidied up their stall and temporarily stored their belongings at the square management office.
Then……
Lin Chuan got into his own ordinary SUV.
Zhou Yang took Xu Yao and got into his Pagani sports car.
Lin Chuan: "..."
Depend on!
Is selling braised food really that profitable? Zhou Yang is already driving a sports car worth tens of millions.
Lin Chuan had mixed feelings.
The car drove away from the bustling city center and headed towards the outskirts of Jindu.
About half an hour later, the car turned onto a bumpy road and finally stopped in front of a somewhat desolate open space.
In the center of the open space, a huge, somewhat dilapidated blue tin shed stood all alone, like some kind of temporary warehouse.
Next to the tin shed, there were several... antique-style buildings?
