Jiang Hexi would never answer such a life-threatening question directly. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Wenjing and said:

"Second brother, what do you think?"

Jiang Wenjing knows that there is no free lunch in this world, and he will not accept the blame:

"Boss Yan is asking you, not me. I have nothing to say."

Jiang Hexi turned around and told Yan Jie:

"You heard it too. It's hard to judge."

"You've finished eating your elbow."

Yan Jie glanced at the bare pig's trotters she had gnawed away, then looked at the unfinished boiled beef in the lunch box, and said in a difficult to discern manner:

"It seems that Chef Liu's cooking skills are better than Chef Wang's. I plan to let Chef Liu cook for the whole beef banquet tonight."

This statement is flawless.

If Jiang Hexi didn't know Yan Jie's revengeful character, she really wouldn't have realized that this was a covert attack.

Chu Yang rode an electric tricycle and hurried over with three cages of chickens.

"Sister, the front desk is packed with tourists and we can't even take all the orders!"

"All the food here is rationed."

Jiang Hexi said helplessly, "No matter how many tourists there are, I can't come up with any tricks."

"The village chief has said that it's not easy for tourists to come all the way here, and we can't let them go back with empty stomachs."

Chu Yang took the chicken cage down from the carriage and said hurriedly:

"These are thirty free-range chickens that Brother Yu just transferred from the chicken farm on the mountain. There is also a native pig that is on the way."

Jiang Hexi looked at him in astonishment: "How many people are here?"

“A steady stream.”

Chu Yang found a stool and sat down. "The orders for the big pot dishes have been arranged until four in the afternoon. Some people also clamored to book the Qian Family Banquet in the evening. Sister Chai refused them all."

Yan Jie put down his lunch box, turned around and said, "Be careful when cutting the meat."

Jiang Hexi met his gaze and smiled slyly, "I understand."

When Shi Jianan saw this scene, with his keen businessman's sense of smell, he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"Hey, Sister Jiang, why do you have two lunch boxes and I don't have any?" Chu Yang asked bitterly.

Jiang Hexi looked at Yan Jie calmly.

Yan Jie stood up from the stone bench and responded calmly: "Shen Yingyu takes care of your meals, go ask him for it."

Chu Yang thought about it and realized something was wrong, "Brother Yu hasn't eaten yet, why is he bringing me food?"

"You are not active in eating, what can I say about you guys?"

Yan Jie threw down these words, stood up and left.

Chu Yang's mood was shattered. He turned around, got on the tricycle, and drove out in a hurry, "Sister, I'm going to take food to Brother Yu."

There are seventy large round tables neatly arranged at the Qianjia Banquet venue on the Cultural Square.

Chai Fei led the team to guard the door. Those who wanted to eat the big pot meal lined up to scan the code to enter, while those who had reserved the Qianjia Banquet were all stopped outside the door and no one was allowed to enter.

Some tourists stood up and complained angrily:

"It's only three o'clock now, there's nothing we can't cook. If you don't have vegetables, go buy some. If you don't have staff, go hire some!"

"We came from the camping base. You don't have a table, so we can bring one ourselves. We've come this far, why don't you let us order the food? Is this your way of entertaining guests?"

"Tourists come all the way here just to eat at Qianjia's banquet. Look at your service attitude. Do you think you are worthy of us?"

Chai Fei refused to accept their moral blackmail. She did not tolerate anyone and said:

"The Qianjia Banquet was booked online ten days in advance. Today's banquet was specially customized based on the number of online reservations, so we can't add a seat."

She gave a wave of Versailles propaganda to the live camera:

"We select ingredients from the source. Chicken, fish, pork and beef are all slaughtered fresh. Vegetables and fruits are all natural and pollution-free. The beef soup is boiled for eight hours. Each signature dish is cooked through multiple processes. Even the open fire on the stove is made from dry pine branches."

"This is why we are not able to add a seat. The village chief has considered that it is not easy for everyone to come to Canglang Village, so he specially asked the chef to cook a big pot of food. Tourists who haven't eaten yet are welcome to come in and taste it."

"In view of everyone's enthusiasm for the Thousand Family Banquet, the village committee has decided to add 20 tables tomorrow, for a total of 300 places. Tourists who want to sign up can scan the QR code to make an appointment after 5 pm."

[Gossip sister started to argue with me as soon as she disagreed with me, which made me feel refreshed. Why can these people enjoy the Qianjia Banquet that I can't enjoy as soon as they come? ]

[The quality of some tourists is really disappointing. They think it's reasonable to come without a reservation, but they dare to ask the host to serve the food after setting up a table. The five chaebols will not indulge them. ]

Chai Fei hung the prepared appointment poster at the door without giving any further explanation.

She walked into the temporary cabin built by the program crew, asked Director Chen for a working meal, and started eating.

Director Chen asked the PD behind him to turn off the live broadcast of the afternoon show, took a piece of iced watermelon and handed it to her: "Thank you for your hard work."

Chai Fei motioned him to put the watermelon on the table and questioned him:

"Why do you want to attract so many tourists? Do you think I'm not tired enough?"

"It's not my business."

Director Chen leaned back in his chair to rest. "You can't take out all your anger on me just because I asked you to come here and things don't go well."

Chai Fei thrust the phone into his face and said with clear evidence:

"Look at what a delicious feast you've made out of the Qianjia Banquet. I can't help but salivate over it even through the screen."

Director Chen took a look at the videos that went viral online and said without any modesty, "Thank you for the compliment."

He has never been able to resist delicious food.

After learning that Yan Jie was going to hold a banquet for thousands of families, instead of stopping him, he felt an indescribable sense of excitement.

For several days in a row, he was thinking about how to present the language of the camera, so much so that he "ignored his main job" and handed the shooting task to the assistant director, and went to several major locations to shoot early in the morning.

From the morning mist, to the screams of the pigs being slaughtered, and finally the iron pot dishes cooked with firewood, everything was recorded with the camera and perfectly presented in the single film of "Thousand Family Banquet", which was played in a loop on the official Weibo of the program.

Then the majority of foodie netizens were excited and were drawn to Canglang Village.

Chai Fei asked him while chewing a watermelon, "Aren't you the sworn enemy of the Five Chaebols? Why are you here to help us this time?"

"I haven't made a documentary in a long time. I'm itching to do it."

Director Chen paused, then added: "Of course there is also a bit of showmanship involved."

Chai Fei threw the watermelon in a perfect arc and into the trash can.

After she had eaten and drunk her fill, she began to feel sleepy. "Do you have a place to take a nap? Can I borrow your bed? I'm sleepy."

Director Chen showed her the way and said, "There is a folding bed in the last room. Just close the door and sleep there."

"convenient?"

"What's the inconvenience? Everyone here knows that you are related to someone else."

Chai Fei asked stubbornly, "What's the relationship?"

Director Chen was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say anything for a long time. He only heard a heavy sound of a door slamming from behind, and the surroundings fell silent.
