Gourmet and actor

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ke has been on the set for two months.

"Battle of Mystery City" is playing as scheduled.The TV station wanted to eliminate the negativity brought about by Lou Min's lawsuit-ridden drama.Influence, overwhelming publicity and momentum.Coupled with the support of fans who held their breath, the ratings broke 2 on the night of the premiere.

In the seventh episode, Meng Xiaolou tricked the wives of high-ranking officials to take refuge in the south, successfully broke into the circle of the rich and powerful, and made his debut singing half a drunken concubine on stage.The ratings jumped to the first place all of a sudden, and since then it has always been at the top of the list, and has been maintained until the end of the TV series.

For a while, Weibo was full of pictures of Meng Xiaolou, reposting all kinds of nympho.

Seeing this, the TV station took advantage of the situation and released Xiao Ke's shooting highlights.Audiences who were not satisfied after watching the main drama, were surprised to find after watching the extras that the handsome guy not only looks good and has good acting skills, but also works hard at ordinary times.I could have found a stand-in for Peking Opera roles, but I also insisted on practicing by myself.

Talented and hardworking, plus culinary skills, who doesn't love such a perfect actor?As a result, Xiao Ke's fans surged again, doubling overnight, breaking through the million mark, and advancing towards 200 million. The ratings continued to rise all the way, and various MVs emerged one after another.

Most of the audience's focus was on Xiao Ke, which made him happy but also uneasy, afraid that other actors in the crew would have ideas.When the fan girl edited the plot MV Aite him again, he hinted euphemistically in the forwarding, so that everyone should not ignore other actors.

As a result, before the fans responded, the co-actors headed by Chen Shangxing responded with ridicule one after another.Saying that the fans only love handsome guys makes them very sad, the heartthrob Boss Xiao must use delicious food to comfort their injured hearts.

Except for Zhao Junlai, the entire crew was dispatched.In the end, even Director Xu left, and drew up the menu himself, letting Xiao Ke figure it out.

Seeing that everyone is still as harmonious as when they were filming together, Xiao Ke was completely relieved.Sending a bowing emoji, I promised that in the future, when friends come to find me, I will definitely take care of myself, and after getting a lot of praise, I will go to shoot today's scene.

The film is progressing smoothly, and one-third of the filming has been completed so far, and now we are starting to film the scene where the hero Lian Ming escapes into the mountains.

In order to avoid being hunted down, Lian Ming bypassed mountain villages and went to deep mountains and old forests. He got lost on the third day.By accident, he went back to the entrance of the mountain pass, and almost collided with the troops who entered the mountain to search.In a hurry, he climbed to the tree to hide, but was accidentally hooked off by a branch of a long-lived cleat left to him by his parents.When they came back to look for the cleats afterwards, they were discovered by Neil, and the two started chasing and fleeing again.

Yin Jueyi likes to use long shots, which requires a lot of cooperation between the actors and all aspects.Although Xiao Ke didn't get NG because of his acting skills, but because of the incoherent lock piece falling, he was first supported by the leaves, and then blocked by the short jacket. He took two shots repeatedly, but still failed.

At the third time, Yin Jueyi thought for a while and said, "Xiao Ke, go back to the previous scene, and add another scene where your clothes are torn by the bushes when you are evading. After climbing the tree, and being chased by Neil So far, there is no need to wear a shirt. This can better reflect the panic and tension of escaping."

There were dozens of staff on site, Xiao Ke felt a little embarrassed when he undressed in front of so many people.But Yin Jueyi, who doesn't care about other things, is quite insistent on the shooting requirements.After refusing to no avail, Xiao Ke had no choice but to obey obediently.

After he took off his jacket, everyone's eyes lit up.

Xiao Ke usually gives people the feeling that he is the thinner type in the well-proportioned.But at the moment when his upper body was exposed, people discovered that he was quite expected.The arms are smooth, the muscles of the lower abdomen are slightly raised, the curves are beautiful but not exaggerated, and they match his face very well.

Some actors and crew members who were temporarily out of work originally hid under the hood next to them to cool off.Noticing that Xiao Ke was taking off his clothes, the girls couldn't sit still, and ran over to probe their brains one after another.If it wasn't for Yin Jueyi's strict control, he would have taken out his phone and snapped wildly.

Xiao Ke was uncomfortable at first, and it was even more embarrassing to be watched by the girls.After finishing his role, he did not stay to watch the follow-up filming as usual.He quickly put on his shirt, excused himself to go to rest first, and hurried back to the dormitory.

When setting up the scene, Yin Jueyi rented a closed farmhouse nearby as a dormitory.Although it has been idle for more than half a year, the basic facilities such as shower and kitchen can be used, and the conditions are not bad. It is not far from the shooting location, and it is only a short walk away.

Thinking of not only going to the sky today, but also the day after tomorrow until Neil wins Lian Ming, Xiao Ke felt uncomfortable.Walking hurriedly, I was stunned to compress the 10-minute journey into 5 minutes.

After entering the courtyard of the dormitory, he wanted to go back to his room to take a shower to calm down, but the security guard and purchasing uncle stopped him, "Mr. Xiao, there is your package."

Since joining the crew, Han Xilin has sent him things almost every day.Everything from commonly used medicines to various convenient small electrical appliances.Xiao Kewei didn't care about the usual small things, took them casually, went upstairs into the room and put them on the table.

While changing and washing clothes, someone downstairs suddenly called him in half-baked Chinese, "Xiao Ke, Xiao Ke!"

Putting down the suitcase, Xiao Ke looked out of the window, and saw a blond, blue-eyed, burly young man waving his hands and smiling brightly at him, with eight big white teeth glistening in the sun.

This is Neil played by Dennis Sully, a Broadway actor.Yin Jueyi met him when he went abroad to collect music, and thought he was very suitable for the role of the male second after thinking about making movies.Before confirming the male lead, he was invited first, and he was the first actor confirmed for cooperation in the film.

The hearty and enthusiastic Dennis has a Chinese brother-in-law who, by coincidence, is also a chef. He is currently working as the head chef in a high-end restaurant in S City.Dennis said that his brother-in-law was originally a high-achieving student majoring in chemistry, but he put his major aside after graduation. Despite his family's objections, he went to further study as a chef for two years, and finally changed jobs successfully.

Influenced by his brother-in-law, Dennis likes Chinese food very much.On the first day when he first joined the production team, when he heard that Xiao Ke had good cooking skills, he was so excited that he wanted to pick him up and walk around on the spot.After being severely stopped by Xiao Ke, he was not embarrassed, and continued to ask questions around him familiarly.

I couldn’t stand Dennis’ enthusiastic offensive, and he was a good person, and he would not refuse anyone to ask him for anything; once when it rained heavily during filming in the mountains, he gave up all the umbrellas and raincoats of himself and his assistant to the girls, shaking The mountain wind blew for a long time.Sometimes Xiao Ke is overwhelmed, and he is willing to make something for him to try.

Seeing him waving non-stop downstairs, Xiao Ke remembered that he promised Dennis to cook wild duck rice the day before yesterday.When I started work this morning, I heard from him that he had asked the purchasing uncle to buy the ingredients, and asked the cooking elder sister to stew it according to the method he said.Now it should be time to urge yourself to take the last step.

If it doesn't pass, Dennis will definitely read it non-stop.Xiao Ke was most afraid of his awkward Chinese, not only during the scenes, but it would be uncomfortable to listen to him babbling at ordinary times.I had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​taking a bath, and went downstairs as promised.

The name of Wild Duck Rice only mentions duck, and the main ingredients actually used include pork belly, gizzard liver, and hen.They need to be stewed until they are crispy before cooking.

Seeing Xiao Ke coming down, Dennis rushed up to meet him, pointed to the kitchen and said, "Xiao Ke, it's ready."

"Well, the meal can be ready soon."

Hearing the word "do well", Dennis smiled brighter.

Walking into the kitchen, seeing that the cooking sister had already cut up the agreed-upon winter bamboo shoots, xuelihong and other vegetables, Xiao Ke scooped up several kinds of meat that were so soft that they could easily break, let them cool, then went to wash the rice, and put Pour the chicken broth into another shallow pot.

When the temperature was about the same, Xiao Ke deboned the chicken and duck, and cut into cubes together with the pork gizzard and liver.Finally, pour the washed rice into the soup pot, add various diced meat and winter bamboo shoots, and cook over high heat while stirring constantly.

The chicken soup evaporated continuously into a delicious fragrance, which drifted away.After a while, the soup shrunk by half.Xiao Ke spread all the remaining vegetables on the half-cooked rice, covered it tightly with a pot lid, and continued to simmer over high heat.When the timer is up, change to a small fire.

The fresh and thick meaty aroma coupled with the refreshing vegetable aroma, lingering in the slow fire and simmering, made Dennis itchy and restless.I wanted to open the pot several times to have a look, but I was afraid that it would affect the taste rashly.I had no choice but to stare at the watch motionlessly, wishing that the minute hand would immediately turn to the time set by Xiao Ke.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Ke couldn't help being amused, and couldn't help asking: "Your brother-in-law must be a chef in a high-end restaurant, he must be a good cook. You should eat his Chinese food a lot, why are you still like this—— In a hurry?"

In fact, Xiao Ke originally wanted to say he was greedy, but was afraid of making people angry, so he quickly changed his words.

"It's not the same." Dennis said seriously, "Ta's food is not as good as Ni's. Kexini has a girlfriend, or introduce Sister Wo to Ni."

When mentioning "girlfriend", Xiao Ke couldn't help being silent.

The moment of embarrassment on the day of the report did not explain.Later, when Han Xilin called for a long chat, he was bumped into several times.I don't know who spread the word first, but now everyone on the production team knows that Xiao Ke has a girlfriend who is in love, and no matter how busy he is, he has to contact him every day, and he is extremely affectionate.Some people even asked him for a photo, wanting to see what kind of beautiful woman she is, who can make a handsome guy so attractive.

When the rumor spread to this point, Xiao Ke became more and more at a loss as to how to explain it, so he simply let them misunderstand.When asked, he smiled and said nothing.

Dennis is used to Xiao Ke's silence when he mentions relationship issues, just pretending that he doesn't want to talk about privacy.Feeling a bit of emotion, the good chef has long been booked by other beauties, and it was not his sister's turn, so he continued to chat about food.In words, he was fascinated by the Imperial Food Palace, and once again said that he would go to City B to taste it after the filming.

While talking, the wild duck rice finally arrived.In order to avoid backflow of water vapor and affect the taste, Xiao Ke immediately opened the pot.Skim off all the wilted vegetable leaves, take the washed rapeseed and spread it on the bottom of the bowl, and then scoop it into the food.

The juicy green leaves set off the oily and delicious food. Daniel cheered and immediately took the chopsticks and started to eat skillfully.

The wild duck is crispy but not firewood, thick and smooth.The pork belly is plump but not oily, with a delicate taste.After taking a bite of Dennis, I couldn't stop, and I couldn't even wait for it to cool down. I ate it while blowing it, and I was scalded from time to time, but I still didn't want to put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Seeing that he had destroyed half of the bowls in a blink of an eye, and visually guessed that the second and third bowls would come again, Xiao Ke warned: "Xiao Yin and others also said they want to eat, remember to save some for them."

As he said that, he filled a bowl for himself, and was going to take it upstairs to dry first, and he would eat it after taking a shower.

When he came out of the bathroom and saw the package next to the rice bowl, Xiao Ke hesitated for a moment, and chose to unpack it first.

After opening it, there was a new mobile phone inside, the card was installed and fully charged, and there was a handwritten note attached.Recognizing that it was Han Xilin's handwriting, Xiao Keyi chose to make a video call and dialed his number.

There was almost no time between them, Han Xilin connected immediately, and his handsome face immediately appeared on the large screen, smiling at him, "Xiao Ke, how is today?"

Xiao Ke always felt that his original mobile phone video was clear enough, but compared with the brick-shaped object now, he found that this is the difference between black and white photos and color photos.

He fondly played with the new mobile phone, and casually told Han Xilin what happened today.

When he heard that he had a role in a stripping scene, even though it wasn't a passionate scene, Han Xilin was still a little jealous and said, "I haven't seen you for more than two months, how can I let other people watch it first?"

Since the parting, lovesickness has been unbearable, and Han Xilin's words have developed from being polite at the beginning to being straightforward now.

It is torture for both of them to separate after the first meal.However, except on the bed, Xiao Ke, who is used to being reserved, is still too embarrassed to say anything too radical.Quickly kissed the screen, and kissed Han Xilin through the air, he changed the subject, "What is Uncle Han up to lately? I thought he would come to see me."

When he was in City A last time, Father Han said that he would follow Xiao Ke wherever he went in the future.So after joining the group this time, he also specially greeted Yin Jueyi, saying that maybe an elder would come to stay with him.Unexpectedly, father Han has never shown up since the phone was turned on, except for occasionally sending text messages to ask him how he is doing.

Han Xilin naturally knew the reason.After picking up that night, he increased the number of times he went home to visit his father.Facing the home-cooked dishes sent by Ding Haili, consciously or unintentionally, Xiao Ke's craftsmanship is much better than this.From time to time, he would emphasize the importance of Xiao Ke to him by the way. Whether it is in terms of appetite or emotion, he cannot do without Xiao Ke, and he must be king.

Under his persistent brainwashing, Father Han has obviously softened.Think about it, except that the child needs to be a surrogate, and the wedding cannot be held aboveboard to announce to the world, the son looking for Xiao Ke seems to be no different from looking for the opposite sex.

But softening is softening, and the old man still feels a little awkward.But it's not easy to complain to a friend and ask someone to help enlighten them.After much deliberation, Father Han decided to go out for a walk first, to relax before talking.

Knowing that his father was just struggling for the last time and would nod his head when he came back, Han Xilin didn't plan to tell Xiao Ke, lest he get distracted.

Hearing Xiao Ke's question, he only said: "He has traveled to the coast, and he probably won't go to your place recently. That's good too, so you won't have to worry about it after you're paid."

Hearing this explanation, Xiao Ke still felt strange.

With Father Han's temperament, even if he doesn't come to visit the class, he will definitely call him from time to time to chat with him.It's really abnormal that we haven't contacted each other for a long time like now.

Xiao Ke couldn't help guessing: "Did you tell uncle about us? Didn't you agree that I will talk with you?"

"...Don't worry too much." Han Xilin didn't expect him to be so perceptive, and he didn't want to lie, so he interrupted quickly, "How long will you be filming that scene with your upper body exposed?"

This matter is Xiao Ke's biggest worry.When asked by Han Xilin, he temporarily put aside his previous doubts, and said with a little depression: "It will take two or three days. Until the male second catches my role and persuades me to go back."

This length of time made Han Xilin deeply dissatisfied, and immediately said: "Since it is the director's request, I have nothing to say. But, should you comfort me? At least let me take a look."

look?It was only then that Xiao Ke realized that Han Xilin suddenly changed his mobile phone because of his intentions. He didn't know whether to laugh or scold him, "You are still so far-sighted."

"The person you like is not around, so naturally you should use your brains more." Having said this, Han Xilin's tone changed, and suddenly he was very low, with a little breath, "Don't be shy, go and check whether the doors and windows are closed."

Xiao Ke didn't want to mess around with him at first, but his voice could not help but recall some special moments, and gradually he felt hot all over.

Knowing that Han Xilin intended to tease him, Xiao Ke couldn't help but locked the door and drew the curtains.Then he sat on the bed according to his instructions and placed the camera next to the pillow.

Han Xilin didn't expect Xiao Ke to agree to his request, and his mouth became parched.He quickly hung up the sign of Do Not Disturb outside the office, lowered the air conditioner by five degrees, and tried his best to restrain his urge to move by relying on the low temperature.When he was ready, he said, "Come on, let me see if you have tanned recently."

The shirt he just put on was thrown aside by Xiao Ke, and Xinyu's skin glowed with luster, bright red and stood upright.

Seeing this scene, all of Han Xilin's restraint immediately collapsed.He quickly connected the phone to the computer screen and zoomed in on the video, his voice was already hoarse, "Continue."

Some things can't be stopped once they start.Xiao Ke's heart was beating very fast, and the voices of the film crew returning one after another outside the window were automatically filtered and turned into insignificant noises.The only thing left in his world is Han Xilin's order, which lures him seductively and forcefully, endures shame, and makes all kinds of unimaginable actions.

"Remember how I helped you before? Untie...hold...be good."

Having said this, Han Xilin was completely at a loss for words.Their eyes lingered greedily on the screen, wishing to immediately cross the long distance between each other and hold their lover tightly in their arms.

A moment later, Xiao Ke fell down beside the pillow, with yearning that couldn't be concealed on his blushing face, he panted and said, "Brother...Han Xilin, I miss you."

"Me too." Han Xilin raised his body, kissed Fang Xiao Ke's misty eyes on the screen, and promised in a hoarse voice: "I will definitely find time to see you."

Although he knew that he would still be very busy in the end and would not be able to spare time, Xiao Ke nodded seriously, "I'll wait."

For two busy people, getting together seems like a luxury.Another month passed, and the two still had to rely on video chat to resolve their lovesickness, and encouraged each other that there was only one month left to see each other again.

But at this time, an accident happened, and Xiao Ke, the protagonist, suddenly got a vacation.

Father Han brought the accident, or rather, he discovered it.

He traveled all the way to City Z, and one day he saw a copycat version of Yushan Palace's special dishes there.He asked the waiter suspiciously, but instead he was reprimanded and even threatened personally.

Father Han, who never took the initiative to cause trouble, but was never afraid of trouble, would not suffer from being dumb.After escaping from the restaurant, he immediately asked his friends to help him expose the bad behavior to the media, and then uploaded photos of counterfeit dishes on Weibo, sternly criticizing the restaurant.

It coincided with the end of "Battle of the Mystery City", and it was the moment when Xiao Ke was most popular.When they found out that someone not only imitated Boss Xiao's special dishes, but even threatened the guests who wanted to ask questions, the fans were immediately outraged.

In addition, Han's father usually plays well with his fans, although after the news came out, everyone was surprised to find that he was not the aunt he imagined, but a grandpa, and the little girls still wholeheartedly wanted to seek justice for him.

On the night when the Weibo was posted, some people in the local catering industry found out that it was Feng Ji Xianzhen Restaurant, so they mentioned their past misdeeds in the comments.

The discussion became more and more heated, and finally even led to a boss who was cheated by the Feng family.Back then in City Z, the restaurant lost money for months and went bankrupt due to debts. He changed to another city and changed careers completely.Although life is good now, but the Feng family is still hated.He left his contact information and said that if Yushan Palace wanted to sue the Feng family for infringement, he would be willing to be a witness.No matter where the court is held, you are guaranteed to be on call and attend at your own expense.

If it's just two ordinary restaurants, it's probably okay to fight online.But one of them is the second male actor in a recent hit drama, and his popularity is quite high. This news is worthwhile.wave.Reporter Bo tried every means to get Xiao Ke's number and tried to interview him.But he followed the crew to the deep mountains to film, and his mobile phone didn't even have a signal.So, I had to dig the material myself.

At the beginning, some people suspected that Xiao Ke took advantage of the popular drama to write and act by himself to arrange hype.However, as professional journalists or gossip passers-by continue to dig out the black history of the Feng family, these conspiracy theories have completely lost their market-accompanied by their reputation of 30 to [-] years in business, to cooperate with an unrelated actor to hype the topic, the Feng family Not so selfless.

Two days later, when Xiao Ke came out from the deep mountains and old forests, he found out what happened to the outside world.

After learning the whole story, Yin Jueyi was afraid that this matter would affect his mood, considering that Xiao Ke attached great importance to the well-run restaurant, so he offered to give him a vacation and settle the matter first.During this period, the crew will shoot other scenes first.

Involving Han's father and causing the elders to suffer grievances, Xiao Ke felt that he should go back and have a look.After completing the necessary handover, he rushed back to City B that night.

The news only said that the store threatened the diners, but did not say whether they did it or not.Although Han Xilin repeatedly assured on the phone that nothing was wrong, he still couldn't help worrying that his lover was just relieving himself, and that Father Han might have suffered more or less.

Hurrying all the way, I ran out of the aisle from the cabin of the transfer plane and came to the front hall.He saw Father Han waiting in front of the metal fence, ignored Han Xilin, and asked first, "Uncle Han, how are you?"

Looking at Xiao Ke who was sweating profusely, Father Han sighed slightly in his heart, finally put aside the last bit of worldly prejudice, held Xiao Ke's hand, and asked instead, "Why do you still call me uncle?"
