As the family sat around the table enjoying flower cakes, the program director turned on the television, and the screen was showing the premiere of "Following Grandpa on a Culinary Journey".
No one knows how many connections Mr. Gu pulled, but this program actually premiered on Long TV. Moreover, Long TV adopted the bullet screen format for the first time to broadcast this food and travel program.
Han Fei made a dazzling entrance dressed in a Zhongshan suit, and instantly, a barrage of comments almost filled the screen.
Is this Boss Han?
I heard he's almost 60 years old?
"No way, I heard he's only in his early fifties!"
[Aren't people in their 50s and 60s considered elderly?]
He's so handsome, absolutely cool!
[He looks a bit like the famous actor from the movie "Kowloon Walled City"!]
[This outfit looks more like what Ren, one of the singers, wore, right?]
[Give him a new head, the face of a famous actor, and put him in the clothes of a pop star!]
[Absolutely amazing! Absolutely incredible!]
I feel there's a contradiction in Boss Han; he has both a江湖 (jianghu, a world of martial arts and chivalry) spirit and a sophisticated, suave charm!
Hey, can we stop talking about this? Why not watch the show and talk about food? Look at our lake, what a beautiful view!
He's getting anxious; he's afraid we won't go on the trip!
Don't worry, bro, I've already booked my flight!
The Hubei Provincial Bureau of Culture and Tourism must be secretly delighted; one program has boosted tourism popularity!
Am I the only one curious about what grandpa's grandchildren look like?
Same as above!
[Same as above, plus one!]
The audience roared with laughter when they saw the children facing the daunting task of carrying 100 kilograms of lotus root.
【Hahaha--】
Haha, traveling with grandpa isn't so easy!
There's no such thing as a free lunch; if you want lotus root starch, you have to work!
Grandpa seems to favor the girls a little!
[Exactly, all the hard and dirty work is done by the boys!]
[Hilarious! If you men don't do the manual labor, what kind of delicate work can you do?]
[You see, Grandpa doesn't completely forbid his daughter from doing any chores. Making her use the blender to chop lotus root is quite tiring too!]
Grandpa was actually fairly fair; there were more boys than girls, so naturally the girl had to do the more delicate chores!
I'm laughing so hard! Their eldest brother yells, and the younger brothers have to obediently get to work!
[So this is how lotus root starch is made! I'm shocked! 100 kilograms of lotus root only yield this little bit of starch!]
The cuisine of China is truly profound and extensive!
[There are so many tricks to soaking lotus root starch? No wonder I can never get it right; my girlfriend always does it perfectly!]
[Upstairs, I suspect you're here to brag about having a girlfriend! Get lost!]
[As a single person, all I want to do is watch a food show, why do I have to be forced to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)?!]
[You already have a girlfriend, why are you watching food shows? Let your girlfriend cook for you, and go watch romance dramas with her!]
I was just accompanying my girlfriend to visit her grandfather!
[Damn! He got fooled again!]
Get lost, stop showing off your love here!
When Han Fei served the lotus root cakes, the live chat suddenly quieted down, but the next second, an even more frenzied barrage of comments appeared:
[I can almost feel its crispiness even through the screen!]
I'm so hungry, please, please let me have a piece!
Where can I buy it?
【I've already ordered online!】
What? There's also an online shopping channel?
At this point, an advertisement was inserted into the program, featuring products from the Han Group.
A group of little boys were fighting over lotus root cakes. When the plate was empty, one of the boys opened the refrigerator and took out bags of frozen lotus root cakes.
The little boy was Xiao Wu. He opened the packaging, put the lotus root cakes into the air fryer, and the camera gave a close-up while he was adjusting the time and temperature.
The children were all hunched over the table, their eyes glued to the air fryer until it made a "ding" sound!
Xiao Wu pulled out the air fryer drawer, and a delicious aroma wafted out. Everyone gathered around to look at the lotus root cakes inside and started scrambling to share them again.
At the same time, a QR code appeared below the advertisement, which could be scanned to make a purchase directly.
Han's Group's refrigerated trucks are working overtime to get things out.
Truck drivers can finally earn overtime pay.
"I've been here for almost half a year, and this is the first time I've received overtime pay. I don't even know how much I'll get."
"I hope the boss isn't trying to fool us."
"Actually, our base salary is already higher than that of the average truck driver."
When the text message arrived, they immediately checked it and were stunned to see their monthly salary.
"My monthly income is 30,000?"
"I'll make 40,000 this month!"
"I never earned this much money in a whole year before, but I made 50,000 this month!"
"Overtime pay has indeed increased several times over. The boss wasn't lying to us. There's also a performance bonus!"
"As expected, following Boss Han means you'll get what you want!"
"Those who left back then must have regretted it terribly if they knew we could get so much prize money."
"Hehe, I posted it on my WeChat Moments, and everyone's been asking me like crazy if our company is still hiring?"
The first episode of "Following Grandpa on a Culinary Journey" has come to an end.
The show had just ended when it became a trending topic!
During the program, Han Fei's Chinese-style look attracted the attention of the fashion industry, and many middle-aged and elderly people who are already financially independent and have plenty of time ordered Chinese-style clothing.
The children's faces weren't shown, which only added to the mystery. Netizens took screenshots of the children's hands and recorded their voices, starting a guessing game!
"I guess this little girl is only eleven or twelve years old, and her voice is a bit soft."
"I think my eldest grandson is probably fifteen or sixteen years old!"
"I bet the youngest one is about ten years old!"
[Is Xiao Wu in the ad the grandfather's fifth grandson? Why didn't he go on the food-hunting trip with him?]
[Xiao Wu was participating in the finals of "National Little Prince" at the time, and he was the champion!]
[There are shows like this? How come I didn't know?]
I was working overtime at the end of the year and missed so many great shows, I'm going to catch up now!
I haven't seen it either, I want to watch it too!
[It turns out the little boy in the ad was a standout contestant from "National Little Prince"! And the guy frying lotus root cakes in the air fryer is the grandfather's fifth grandson!]
What is Xiao Wu's full name?
[Han Chengwu!]
Han Chengwu, also known as Xiao Wu, is my grandfather's fifth grandson. I'm very curious about the names of all the grandchildren in my grandfather's family.
[Hehe, I know one of them, Han Chengsi, Xiao Si, she's my classmate!]
As far as I know, the last character of every grandson's name in my grandfather's family is a homophone of their rank.
Where is my granddaughter?
It seems similar, but girls don't have a generational naming system.
You know so much!
Hehe, I work for Han's Entertainment Company. My dad used to bring his grandchildren to the company all the time!
【dad? 】
Everyone in our company calls the boss "Daddy!"
Are you still hiring at your company? Does Dad need a son?
My dream company right now is Han's! I've heard they pay a lot, offer great benefits, and even provide girlfriends!
Ha! Don't dream about it. I don't even have a girlfriend yet, and you want one?!
The conversations and interactions between the grandfather and the children in the program were all made into short videos and uploaded online.
The interaction between the grandfather and his grandchildren is a source of great interest, and the lotus root cakes sold out with astonishing sales!
Netizens are urging Han's Group to open a pre-sale channel so they can reserve a few boxes of lotus root cakes.
Han Fei did not agree to proceed with the pre-sale.
"Brother, with such good sales, why don't you let them pre-order?" Han Heng asked, puzzled.
Han Fei patiently explained, "There are countless eyes watching the Han Group right now, some with good intentions and some with bad intentions. If we start pre-sales, what if the suppliers cut off supplies? The Han Group's reputation will be severely damaged."
