    The world's first crowdsourcing-driven asian bl novel translation community

    After the last piece of pork ribs fell down, Da Fei reluctantly scraped the soup from the shallow porcelain plate into the bowl. The plump and white rice grains immediately had a sour, sweet and sour taste. Take a bite, the fresh rice fragranceOverflowing, the rice grains are cooked properly and soft, but still clean and refreshing, and will not have a sticky texture due to excessive moisture.

    Da Fei filled his stomach with a whole bowl of rice before he was willing to let go of the porcelain spoon and let out a soft breath.

    At this moment, he, who was full of food and drink, felt an indescribable relief, like being soaked in a hot spring, warm.

    Da Fei collected himself, a little surprised.He suddenly discovered that although he had long been used to live broadcasting and could perform smoothly and naturally in front of tens of thousands of people in the live broadcast room, however, during the live broadcast, he was still working after all, and his nerves were always tense.

    But after eating this bowl of rice, the tense feeling disappeared, and he didn't want to choke with the audience anymore. In his mind, it seemed that there was a small person floating freely on the sunny sea, and everything he could seeThe world suddenly became infinitely better.

    Da Fei raised his head, he had been engrossed in eating just now, and he probably hadn't spoken in the live broadcast room for several minutes.He knew that this would be fatal for a live broadcast, and the audience probably ran away long ago seeing him like this.

    However, after seeing the number on the upper right corner, Da Fei's eyes widened in surprise.

    "I'll go, so many friends watch me eat?" Da Fei was shocked, and then scratched his forehead again, "Oh, I didn't pay attention to the appearance of eating, I'm so embarrassed."

    The reaction on the barrage was a little bit different from what he expected:

    "Da Fei, the way you eat is much cuter than the way you talk. Promise Dad, let's do more eating and broadcasting in the future."

    "Just entered the live broadcast room, where is this shop? These two heads look so happy."

    "This sweet and sour short rib is really well done. It looks like it is made with old-fashioned sweet and sour sauce, and the heat is well controlled. If it is not sticky, it can pull out a little bit of silk.a feeling of."

    "Yes, I also ate the sweet and sour pork ribs from the canteen today. It was so oily and sticky, but the ribs looked very refreshing."

    Da Fei saw this barrage and said with a smile: "I know what's going on. The sweet and sour pork ribs in the canteen don't care about controlling the heat. In the canteen of my previous company, they were just poured with ketchup.If it goes down, or if you don’t pay attention to the taste, use starch to make a thick layer of gravy, even if it tastes sweet and sour, then eat it, it will choke your throat and feel uncomfortable.”

    "However," Da Fei changed the subject, "The sweet and sour short ribs in this shop are really thoughtful.The sweet gravy popped in my mouth, tsk tsk tsk, it's just right."

    Da Fei shook his head in recollection.

    Sentences such as "Okay, that's enough, stop talking.", "Brother Fei, shut up! There are no takeaways in our town at this point!" slid across the barrage.

    Da Fei looked at the time and stood up: "If you don't say it, then I won't. I'll see if I can chat with the shop owner. This live broadcast is almost over. We still have to catch the plane."

    Jiang Ci calculated the remaining amount of sweet and sour short ribs, and after 7:30, he asked He Mingcan to respectfully invite all the new customers who came in line at the door of the store to leave, so as not to waste time.

    And when Da Fei found her, the dishes for the last batch of customers in the restaurant were all served, and she also began to relax.

    Therefore, she did not refuse Da Fei's request, and smiled and waved to the live broadcast room.

    The live broadcast room suddenly boiled:

    "My God, so this girl is the boss! She's so beautiful!"

    "I saw her serve the dishes just now, and thought she was a waiter, but when I thought about the picture Lu Jiashu reposted, I thought she should be the cook. Now I realize that I was all wrong, she is the boss."

    "One person has to hold three jobs. You can see that this is really a small street shop!"

    Da Fei was still a little shocked in his heart: "I didn't expect you to be Feng Qianguan's boss. I just asked around, but I still can't believe it."

    Jiang Ci smiled and said, "What's the matter, don't I look the same?"

    "It's not, it's just different from what I imagined." Da Fei said guiltily, the boss in his impression should be older, and he wouldn't do all the work in the store himself, but the girl in front of him is very hardworking.

    Da Fei changed the subject and revealed his intentions: "To tell you the truth, I saw Lu Jiashu's Weibo post yesterday, and I knew your store was in City A, so I planned to visit it. At first, I thought it might be an ordinary shop.It’s an online celebrity shop, but after eating it, I found it really unusual.”

    Jiang Ci: "Internet celebrity shop? What do you mean?" She is relatively unfamiliar with this term.

    Da Fei's words were originally meant to be a compliment, and other bosses might just smile happily after hearing it and let it go.He didn't expect that the girl in front of him would actually ask more questions!

    He really went to explain it carefully, the scene was quite embarrassing.

    A bunch of hahaha popped up in the barrage, and they spoke for him:

    "Boss, I want to expose it. Before he entered the store, he said you were marketing!"

    "Yes, boss, drive him out!"

    "Hahahahahaha, Brother Fei, at the scene of the overturned car, do you want to blow yourself up like this?"

    "Marketing?" Jiang Ci thought for a while and asked, "Do you mean advertising?"

    "Yes." Da Fei said bluntly, "I saw that Lu Jiashu forwarded it to you, and I thought you were looking for him to advertise."

    Jiang Ci: "What's wrong with advertising? If I can afford him, of course I will call him. Is there any problem?"

    Da Fei was stunned for a moment, Jiang Ci's words were too righteous, and when he thought about it carefully, it was actually quite...reasonable.

    Barrage:

    "I'm dying of laughter. This restaurant is only so small. Even if the items are expensive, it won't be able to earn money from those big chain stores. Even big chain stores may not be able to afford Lu Jiashu to advertise."

    "What the boss said makes sense. Come on, businessmen, isn't advertising very scientific?"

    "Boss, boss, did you go to the set a few days ago? Did Lu Jiashu really eat your braised hoof? I didn't see this dish on the menu in the live broadcast just now! Do you have it in your store?"

    Thinking of what he said a while ago, Da Fei pursed his lips, his face suddenly flushed with embarrassment.

    That's right, he himself used to be an advertiser, and now he also relies on traffic to make a living. Facing this store, why is there such a double standard?

    If the store is of excellent quality, does not engage in false advertisements, and does not maliciously trample on its peers, then why can't it be advertised?

    Food should be enjoyed by everyone.

    Da Fei blinked, a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

    And Jiang Ci looked at the barrage, and was already familiar with interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room:

    "Haha, yes, I went to their crew and worked as a cooking consultant for a few days. The crew was quite fun."

    "It's "Delicious Variations". Director Tang, Jiashu and Kexin took the film very seriously, and the food in it is all real." Jiang Ci said with some pride, "After all, I directed it."

    "Braised hoof? It will be served in a while."

    The live broadcast room was lively, and after Da Fei walked out of the store with his younger brother, he was still a little bit reluctant.

    On the other side, the choreographer sitting in the cubicle slowly came to his senses.

    After accidentally clicking on the live broadcast room, he suddenly felt hungry, so he simply made a bucket of noodles in the office, and finished dinner while watching the live broadcast.

    He didn't really watch this kind of live broadcast at first, it's not that he looked down upon it, but most of these live broadcasts were mediocre, and the anchors didn't prepare elaborate highlights and jokes, and many people just talked nonsense.

    However, this time, the director was eating bucket noodles, and unexpectedly chased the live broadcast to the moment when the screen went black.In the end, he also watched all the scenes where the boss came out, and that scene was accompanied by a voice-over from nearby diners:

    "Anchor, quickly advertise for our Boss Jiang, Feng Qianguan's is really delicious!"

    "That's right, you only ate sweet and sour short ribs, but you haven't eaten crab noodles, small dragon wonton noodles, small crispy meat sauce and big bones. After eating, you will have a new understanding of the world!"

    "Anchor, don't listen to his nonsense, don't advertise! I won't be able to get in the line after get off work late now."

    The editor and director couldn't help but be engrossed in watching. There are many live broadcasts of exploring stores, but there are not many live broadcasts that can interact with diners in the store.After closing the live broadcast room, he simply searched for Feng Qianguan, and after this search, his eyes, which were squinted because of exhaustion, couldn't help but light up.

    Just in City A!

    ...

    Not long after Da Fei left, the last batch of customers in the store also left.

    Jiang Ci and several employees cleaned up and counted the raw materials, and contacted the supplier to deliver the raw materials on time tomorrow. From tomorrow onwards, the store still has to resume normal business as soon as possible.

    Before leaving, Wang Jianian pushed his glasses: "Boss, your fortune tree is a little wilted."

    Jiang Ci turned her head, and saw next to the counter, the fortune tree with thick and fat branches and fat and shiny leaves, but now it was listless and ugly.

    "It's really not energetic." He Mingcan came over to take a look, and urged: "Throw it away, it doesn't look good to raise."

    Jiang Ci frowned and looked at the wilting leaves: "Impossible. The rich tree is the best to grow."

    Liang Hui said "Ouch" at this time: "Boss, I remembered that the money tree in our factory director's office has also drooped, and it must have rotten roots. Before you left, did you water too much?"

    Jiang Ci remembered that the day before she left, she was worried that several other people had forgotten to water her fortune tree, so she did water some more.

    "I can't do more watering?" Jiang Ci said with a bitter face, "Forget it, I will pass by the flower shop tomorrow and ask what to do."

    ...

    In winter, it dawned very late. At eight o'clock, the vegetable market on the outskirts of the city was completely bustling, but the sky was still hazy.

    Facing the cold wind, Jiang Ci walked to the shop full of flowers.In her previous life, it was difficult for her to see so many flowers in winter, but now because of the existence of greenhouses, even if it is out of season, the flowers can still bloom.

    The girl stood in the middle of a bunch of carnations, roses, and violets, with a smile on her face. Against the background of the flowers, she showed a kind of charm, which unconsciously attracted the attention of passers-by.

    "Buying flowers?" The owner of the flower shop saw someone outside, and hurried out of the warm shop to greet him. After seeing Jiang Ci's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment.

    It was this girl who made a deep impression on her.

    Sure enough, the girl said, "I'm not here to buy flowers, so I'll ask you for a consultation. There seems to be something wrong with the fortune tree I bought in your shop a while ago..."

    Huh.Sure enough, it is another rich tree.The owner of the flower shop leaned over, looked at the picture Jiang Ci showed her, and said, "It's a rotten root. It's a problem of improper water and fertilizer. It's very simple to deal with. I'll teach you."

    She briefly talked about the solution, and Jiang Ci carefully recorded it. Finally, she bought a few more flowers as a thank you.

    Holding the rose wrapped in newspaper in her arms, Jiang Ci walked through the noisy market to the supplier's booth, updated the materials Feng Qianguan needed, and then went to the spice shop to choose spices.

    Cinnamon bark, bay leaves, cardamom, algal ginger... Different spices have different specialties.Jiang Ci smelled it carefully, and in several shops, each picked out the seasoning that was most suitable for Feng Qianguan's current use. After writing down the address, he asked the bosses to deliver it.

    Turning out of the aisle where the spice shops gathered, Jiang Ci's attention was attracted by a shop on the side of the road.

    A piece of sackcloth was spread out in front of the shop, and the sackcloth was piled with sections of winter bamboo shoots. The winter bamboo shoots were wrapped in withered yellow bamboo shoots and covered with dried mud.

    Winter is a good season to eat winter bamboo shoots.

    Especially the wild mountain bamboo shoots, which are absolutely rare and delicious.

    In the cold temperature, the morning mist pervades the mountains and forests. In places where humans rarely set foot, bamboos grow densely one by one, standing steeply in the cold wind.

    The winter sunlight penetrates the mist, penetrates the gaps in the bamboo leaves, and sprinkles sparsely on the ground.The temperature of the land irradiated by the sun has risen, and the bamboo whips buried in the soil are quietly growing under it.

    After hoeing and digging carefully, the delicacy wrapped in the earth will fall into the hands of the bamboo shoot diggers.The tips of the bamboo shoots are crisp and tender, and the skin of the bamboo shoots is light and thin, making them very popular in the market.

    Jiang Ci's eyes lit up.

    "Girl, look, these bamboo shoots are fresh." The boss tried to sell her. He picked up a winter bamboo shoot and peeled off the bamboo shoot.Green and yellow-green bamboo shoots.

    The bamboo shoots look full of water, very fresh and tender, and there are circles of thin lines on them, which are the bamboo knots that have not yet been formed.

    When Jiang Ci saw it, he couldn't hold back immediately, and said proudly: "Boss, I packed all these for me and took them away together."

    ...

    Back in the store, Liang Hui inserted the rose into a porcelain vase for Jiang Ci and placed it on the counter.Among the celadon, the orange-yellow flowers stretch delicately, which is very pleasant.

    Liang Hui likes flowers. After all, flowers are in her name. She takes great pleasure in serving roses, which is completely different from her attitude towards rich trees.

    After seeing the winter bamboo shoots sent by the supplier, Liang Hui stopped serving the rose, her eyes were fixed, and she swallowed heavily.

    Liang Hui: "Boss, do you want a new dish?"

    Jiang Ci nodded, ready to start preparing: "Recently, there are too many meat dishes on the table. Let's order some vegetarian dishes to cleanse the intestines."

    She is going to make a dish of stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with pickled vegetables.

    I have to say that the quality of this batch of winter bamboo shoots is really good. When pinched in the hand, it feels icy and cool to the touch, crisp, tender and firm.Jiang Ci peeled off the bamboo shoots one by one, revealing the tender yellow flesh of the bamboo shoots inside. This tender yellow has a little bit of green, and the closer to the tender part of the shoot tip, the lighter the color.

    The peeled bamboo shoots were stacked one by one in the bamboo basket beside, and when the basket was full, Jiang Ci washed the crispy bamboo shoots one by one, and cut them into fine white pieces.

    Wash and chop the pickled pickled cabbage into yellow-green diced pickled cabbage. Stir-fry with the tender bamboo shoots. Under the blending of lard, the two vegetarian dishes are inspired to be more attractive than meat dishes.tasty.

    The saltiness of pickled vegetables is matched with the freshness and tenderness of winter bamboo shoots. After a simple stir-fry, the aroma diffuses into the entire back kitchen. This is the taste of the mountains.

    He Mingcan and the others stared intently at Jiang Ci's stir-frying action, waiting with difficulty for the moment when the delicious food came out of the pot.

    It was still afternoon, but they suddenly felt hungry.

    On the other side, in a certain building in City A, Li Haichuan finally completed the last word of this plan.

    He stared at the signature of the director's office on the planning case, where his name was written, and he was just dumbfounded after posting it.

    After a while, Li Haichuan rubbed his sore and tired eyes from long-term work, printed out the plan, checked it from beginning to end, and got up to go to the leader for approval.

    It is called approval, but it is actually a process.

    Li Haichuan sighed in his heart.

    The new program he took over is an old program of the local station in City A. It was a little popular in the local area a few years ago, but now, the ratings can only be said to be the bottom of the TV station, and the broadcast time has also been moved to a place where there are no people.Morning.

    That is to say, some old people on the TV station still have feelings for this program, and they didn't really cancel it. However, the leaders didn't place any expectations on this program.

    He joined this TV station after graduating seven years ago, but his luck seems to have been bad. The projects he took over were all mediocre projects, and the budget he could apply for was not much. He just tossed around for several years without anymasterpiece.

    This time, after the previous director was transferred to take charge of more promising projects, the mess was thrown on him again.

    Walking out of the office, Li Haichuan greeted the colleagues he met on the road.Over the past few years, there have been more and more colleagues who are younger than him. Everyone is full of youth, and even though they are on the same level as him, they politely call him "Brother Li".

    Li Haichuan greeted each of them politely, but when he saw a person walking towards him, his face became a little stiff.

    The person who came was wearing a black wool coat, and the high-end coat made him look like a dog. He smiled and said: "Director Li, you stayed up late last night again? You don't look very good."

    Li Haichuan pushed his glasses: "Thank you for your concern."

    The visitor said: "Brother Li, you should pay more attention to your health as you get older. If you burn out, your salary will not be enough to see a doctor. Don't pay too much attention to your program, it's not worth it."

    He patted Li Haichuan's shoulder thoughtfully, left a smug smile, and then walked forward.

    Li Haichuan heard him greet others behind him:

    "Xiao Chen, the new plan is good, you can contact those celebrities for me today."

    "Who is the host? I just talked to the leader. This time our pillar, Miss Ying, is free. She will take over our job."

    Li Haichuan collected himself, pressed the elevator button, and arrived at the office of the head of the TV station after a while.

    "Hai Chuan, the new task is entrusted to you, and you should also take it well. I believe in your ability, and you also have the right to decide this program, so I won't say more."

    The leader casually looked at the planning proposal, found no omissions or new ideas, and was about to pass it when his eyes suddenly fell on the guest candidates on the paper.

    "Feng Qianguan?" The leader opened his eyes, "What kind of store is this, why haven't I heard of it?"

    Li Haichuan replied: "This is a small shop in our city. It's on Anxu Road. It's very popular recently. Their boss's craftsmanship is very good. I want to arrange it on the show after contacting them."

    "Small shop?" The leader raised his eyebrows, "Isn't our program a famous shop? Why did it turn into a small shop? Did you change direction? Could there be any chefs in this small shop?"?”

    The leader's words are more polite, but the inner meaning is that he disagrees.

    Li Haichuan explained: "It's not to change direction, I just thought, we have basically visited the famous stores in city A now, and it is not impossible to invite such lively and prosperous small stores. And I have paid attention toThis restaurant is because it became popular in a live broadcast, and I think that what young people like may bring a turning point to our program.”

    The leader pondered for a while, then nodded: "Okay, since you said so, let's try it."

    Someone knocked lightly at the door, the leader raised his head, saw the figure in the woolen coat at the door, and smiled immediately, and he handed back the plan to Li Haichuan: "Okay, just follow your team's plan.Go do it. You go back first."

    ...

    Li Haichuan returned to the office and experienced what happened just now. Although he felt a little sad in his heart, he didn't show it on his face after all. He just smiled and distributed the finalized plan to all the employees in the group to have a look.

    If even he is discouraged and this emotion is passed on, then their group really can't think of any results.

    As the end of get off work was approaching, Li Haichuan packed his bags and hurried out of the building as soon as the hour arrived.

    He had seen the prosperity of Feng Qianguan in the live broadcast room before, and it closed shortly after 8 o'clock, and then he was pushed by the live broadcast room and Lu Jiashu, so he didn't know how lively it would be today.

    Li Haichuan took a special taxi, and when he arrived, it was just half past five, and a large number of office workers had not yet appeared.Li Haichuan waited for a while at the door of the store, swiping his phone, and then it was his turn to enter the store.

    After entering the store, Li Haichuan was immediately enveloped by the aroma of vegetables in the air, and his stomach that had been empty for a long time let out a long growl.

    He looked at the menu for a while, only to feel that he wanted to eat this and that, and he didn't know what to do.

    At this moment, a voice sounded beside him: "Young man, don't you know what to eat?"

    Li Haichuan looked back and saw an old man talking to him, who seemed to be a nearby resident.He smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, it's a pity, there is only one belly."

    The uncle recommended: "Listen to me, order the new dish that was served today! You are lucky today, Boss Jiang's new dishes are usually sold out quickly, I don't know if she has changed sex today or something, unexpectedlyI’ve made a lot more, and it’s still not sold out.”

    The uncle smacked his lips, as if he had already imagined the delicious taste of the dish: "I assure you, I won't regret it after trying it."

    Li Haichuan was a little surprised. It was the first time that he was actively recommended by other diners in the restaurant. His eyes moved to the menu.

    At the very end of "Today's Menu", there is a small wooden sign.

    【Set of snow vegetables and winter bamboo shoots: 60 yuan [new product]】

    Li Haichuan already had psychological expectations about the price, and he didn't think it was too expensive, so he just asked, "Is it really that delicious?"

    "I haven't tasted it, I just want to try it." The uncle stared at the wooden sign and licked his lips, urging dissatisfiedly, "Hurry up and order, and waste the time of the people behind."

    Behind the uncle, there are still a few pairs of eyes staring at him.

    "..." Li Haichuan turned his head silently, and quickly said to the male clerk in front of him, "A set meal with pickled vegetables and winter bamboo shoots, thank you."

    "Chenghui 60 yuan." The male clerk had a bright smile on his face.

    After Li Haichuan scanned the QR code, turned around and left the counter, he heard the clerk enthusiastically say to the old man behind him:

    "Uncle Zhang, why are you so kind today? You even recommended dishes. I can't see that you are still an enthusiastic citizen."

    The uncle's voice was a bit dazed: "Ah, Xiao Ming, have you changed your gender? You refused to let me add you as a friend last time, but now you are praising me. Why, are you allowed to add me now?"

    "Leave some space for the young people, we will post new dishes on the account." The male clerk said with a smile, "It's just..."

    "Sorry, I didn't remind you just now."

    "There is only the last part of pickled vegetables and winter bamboo shoots left."

    He Mingcan: "Hahahahahaha."

    Li Haichuan's back tightened, he lowered his head and quickly found a place to sit down.

    The author has something to say:

    Xiao Li, remember to say thank you, sir!

    Damn =3=!
