Gourmet and actor

After choosing among more than a dozen dishes, Han Xilin finally chose the mandarin duck milk roll.At least there is no icing and sweet silk on the surface, but a creamy white long cake, it shouldn't be too sweet, right?

As soon as he picked up the chopsticks to threaten him, Xiao Ke immediately stuffed a spoon into his hand: "This is fresh hawthorn strips rolled with rock sugar and ground black and white fried sesame seeds with a thin skin made of milk curd. Eat with a spoon."

The milk roll was small and slippery. Han Xilin scooped it several times according to his words, but it was always unsuccessful. Instead, two pieces were broken and the filling was all over the plate.He frowned and looked at the disobedient little spoon in his hand, and wanted to keep pushing, but Xiao Ke, who couldn't stand it anymore, took it, scooped one up easily, and fed it to his mouth: "Come on. "

Because of the movement, Xiao Ke leaned over the dining table, their faces were so close that they could almost count the number of eyelashes.

Han Xilin couldn't remember the last time he was so close to someone, but he didn't reject it.Eating the milk roll with Xiao Ke's hands, the agitation in my heart was immediately replaced by surprise: the milk skin melts in the mouth, the rich milk flavor is paired with the sweet and sour hawthorn with the original sesame seeds, it is very refreshing and palatable, and it will not feel sweet at all greasy.By the time he realized it, the milk roll the size of his index finger had been swallowed.

He even had a day of eating sweets.

As a person who has never eaten candy since kindergarten, Han Xilin admired Xiao Ke's craftsmanship: "The dishes you cook are very unusual, and they seem to be different from the eight major cuisines. Where did you learn it?"

Xiao Ke removed the dessert plates one by one, "I learned it from a master chef before."

He secretly memorized the term "Eight Major Cuisines", and decided to look it up online later.

Han Xilin also helped Bucai: "Has this master told us about his background?"

During the Eastern Wu period, there was no cuisine. Xiao Ke thought about it, and vaguely remembered that although the old imperial chef brought his skills into the palace, he learned according to the royal recipes for more than ten years.If there is a faction, it should be regarded as royal, "He claims to be the successor of the royal chef."

"Imperial chef?" Han Xilin froze for a moment.

I don't know how many restaurants are under the banner of imperial chefs. When Han Xilin was looking for delicious food, he ate at no less than ten restaurants that claimed to be the heirs of the orthodox imperial cuisine of a certain dynasty.But basically, they are all carefully crafted from selected precious ingredients. They are too crafty and not delicious enough, so they don't necessarily have anything special.It's okay to bluff laymen, but it's far from enough to fool Han Xilin, who is willing to spare no expense and only for delicious food.

There are countless delicious things in modern times, and the extremely developed transportation allows people to eat delicacies from all over the world.Of course, the better the food, the more expensive it is.Ordinary people can tell the difference between good food and bad food, but only gourmets who have tasted all the top ingredients can taste the nuances of good food and better food.

The reason why Han Xilin was recognized by the seniors in the food industry in just two years, and was given the honorary title of senior in front of food critics, from a certain point of view, it was completely out of money.Ordinary foodies don't have his financial resources, they can't eat whatever they want, and they can't raise their tongues.

After being baptized with top-quality ingredients, Han Xilin knew how amazing Xiao Ke's skill is in making super-delicious Xiao Ke with ordinary ingredients.But if you want to say that this is an imperial meal - since the Qing Dynasty was replaced by the Republic of China, the royal recipe "Jade Food" has been passed down from generation to generation in the imperial dining room of the Forbidden City."Exquisite Interpretation" was lost in the chaos of war, and no one knew where it was for so many years.

If Xiao Ke's master really has a background and learned the essence of this imperial food recipe that has been passed down for several dynasties and has been added and revised by successive imperial chefs, then it must be a generation of masters.

But Han Xilin thought over and over again, and with his photocopy machine-like memory, he still couldn't think of any gourmet master who was famous for being good at cooking imperial meals.

But having said that, "Jade Food."Exquisite Interpretation" has been lost, that is to say, no one has seen it.So—who can guarantee that what Xiao Ke cooks is not imperial cuisine?No one has ever researched the origins of those restaurants with the signboard of imperial cuisine.

Han Xilin's businessman qualities were brought to the extreme at this moment, and he suddenly thought of a good way to keep Xiao Ke in City B for a long time.But before he said it, he wanted to test his tone first.

The two sat down at the table facing each other.After taking a few mouthfuls of the fresh stewed three diced that he was thinking about, and savoring it carefully for a while, Han Xilin asked, "Xiao Ke, what are your plans after the filming of this movie is finished?"

"Take the job as much as you can, and stand firm."

Very pragmatic.Han Xilin nodded secretly, and then asked, "Have you considered the source of your livelihood?"

"Director Chung said that this movie gave me 80 yuan, plus [-] yuan for the variety show. Even if the tax is deducted, the rest should be enough for me to get a new film contract."

Xiao Ke still doesn't know that as an artist, he cannot do without such messy expenses as the installation fee, car horse fee, assistant's salary, appearance and luxury goods.

Han Xilin didn't expect there to be such frugal artists in the entertainment industry, so he had to temporarily change his lobbying words: "Everything should be just in case, and don't put all your eggs in one basket. I think with your skills, You can open a restaurant and teach a few apprentices, maybe you can make more money than being an actor." - Then you will be a full-time chef.

He silently added a sentence in his heart.

Opening a restaurant seems to be very profitable, but in ancient times, you had to establish a good relationship with the tyrants in the yamen, otherwise you would not earn enough to be blackmailed. I don’t know what kind of rules are there in modern times.Xiao Ke thought about it, and decided to inquire about it in detail before making a decision: "It sounds good, I'll discuss it with my friends."

Haste makes waste, Director Han Da once again swallowed the rhetoric of Angel Wind Betting Capital Holdings' lump sum dividends and changed the subject.

Although the two lived together for more than a week, Han Xilin used to leave early and return late every day, at most he would say hello to each other in the morning, and when he came back at night, Xiao Ke would go to bed early.It was the first time that we chatted casually over delicious food like today.

After eating a meal, Xiao Ke felt that this new roommate was doing well and had great abilities. He thought that in ancient times, he must be a capable official.

Han Xilin happily discovered that Xiao Ke is an actor with artistic pursuits.In this era of impetuous speculation, artistic dreams are precious, but they are somewhat idealistic.It's not that it can't be successful, but the probability is too low.

As a shrewd businessman, although he admires Xiao Ke, he will not miss the opportunity because of it.It is necessary to add a little weight to the balance to make Xiao Ke make up his mind to open a restaurant.

That night, he called Director Zhong again and muttered for a long time.

So, on the day of the press conference, the film crew solemnly announced that besides the cute baby and the funny plot, the highlight of the movie is special food.All the pastries in the store of the character Xiao Boss in the play will be made by the actor Xiao Ke himself.After each shooting, it will be given to visiting journalists and fans to taste.

In view of Xiao Ke's superb cooking skills in the show, no one thought the crew was weird.Many people are excitedly searching for the shooting location, ready to have the opportunity to taste the delicious food made by the little brother himself.The audience who were not in City B wailed endlessly.

Perhaps only Director Zhong knew the truth, but it was only part of it.

——Does Director Han Da want everyone to know that the setting of the chef has been contracted by Xiao Ke?

Since the machine was turned on, Director Zhong couldn't help thinking about this issue every day when he saw Xiao Ke.
