    "Left, a little further to the left, that's all right, here it is, thank you."

    Jiang Ci directed the master to fix the newly bought TV in a box.

    The 200-inch LCD screen is too big. Jiang Ci tried several times, but finally he had to give up this option and choose an ordinary TV as a compromise.

    Wang Jianian looked at the 200-inch splicing screen that had been put away, and comforted him with regret on the surface and secret joy in his heart: "It's okay, boss, this TV is not completely useless, and it may still be used in the future."

    Jiang Ci: "Is it possible to use it?"

    "Yeah." Wang Jianian nodded and urged, "If you open a big restaurant and have a ceiling at least six meters high on the first floor, then it will be useful."

    Six meters high?Jiang Ci imagined the scene in her mind and fell into deep thought.

    "Don't think about it." Mi Ting said directly and bluntly, "There is no need to put this in the restaurant."

    Jiang Ci sighed sadly.

    It's really not necessary. She put this thing in the box temporarily, mainly because "Delicious Variations" is about to start broadcasting.

    "Delicious Variations" has been completed for several months so far. After the completion, the crew has been editing the finished product non-stop.Now, the film has been put on schedule.

    During the editing process, Director Tang also brought other members of the crew over to try something new.When I was trying it out, it is said that the creative desire of the main creator was stimulated again. Facing a plate of golden bamboo shoots, he came up with a lingering story outline of chasing me and fleeing, which made director Tang feel goose bumps on the spot.The teacher was also full of inspiration, and went back to work overtime in front of the food camera for several nights.

    "I can't get the account, so I can only look at Jie Jieqian in the camera... Woohoo, I'm so hungry." In a corner of the network, an unknown trumpet wailed in the middle of the night every day.

    On the day when the TV series premiered, Jiang Ci moved the staff meals to the private room, and several people from Feng Qianguan happily sat in front of the TV.

    "Delicious Variations" is not very long. It is an idol drama with a relatively simple story line. The male and female protagonists are a frustrated chef and an optimistic young rookie. In the first episode, the male and female protagonists meet.

    Director Tang doesn't usually shoot this kind of youth idol drama, but once he does it, he still looks decent, and the atmosphere of some scenes is so pink that it's bubbling.

    However……

    In the box, few people could enter.

    "Actually, the shot was pretty good, but... these faces are too familiar. It looks a bit weird." He Mingcan commented.Lu Jiashu wanted to control his diet, so he came here less frequently, but Su Kexin came here to cook whenever he was free!The appetite is also very large, and the cooking is so heroic.

    "Hmm..." Jiang Ci nodded in agreement. Thinking of Lu Jiashu and Su Kexin's eating, the pink atmosphere in the show disappeared instantly!

    Mi Ting didn't feel much about it. She spent most of her time in the back kitchen and didn't know the stars of the show well.However, she had no interest in romance dramas.

    Mi Ting concentrated on eating the staff meal in front of her. The braised bamboo shoots on the table were salty and sweet, extremely crisp and tender, and went very well with the meal.Suddenly, she heard that the BGM in the TV series had changed, and subconsciously looked up.

    Then……

    I couldn't move my eyes.

    On the screen, a young chef is cooking in the kitchen.

    He is making a snowflake crab fight.

    In the hot pot, snow-white crab meat, orange-red crab roe, and fat crab paste are gradually mixed with the frying spoon in the hot steam. The mellow lard gives the whole pot a bright color, and the fresh and sweet aroma of crab powder seems to be overwhelming.To pass through the screen.

    After the crab powder was almost fried, the young man poured the hanging broth into the pot, and thickened it neatly.With a light flick of the kitchen spoon in his hand, the crab powder was packed into the cleaned crab shell.Immediately afterwards, the young man covered the crab shells filled with crab powder with cloud-shaped egg whites, which is the "snowflake" in the name of the dish.

    The steamed "Snowflake" has a smooth and tender taste, which can further bring out the deliciousness of the crab.

    Mi Ting's chewing movements slowed down.

    "It's done very professionally." Mi Ting was a little surprised. Seeing this method, the snowflake and crab buckets that come out are not so bad!

    "That's right. I'll demonstrate it to Lu Jiashu for half the night with just these moves." It was the first time in Jiang Ci's two lives that he was the technical director of a TV drama.

    Lu Jiashu is an actor, and his ability to imitate is really strong. Although the actual cooking is not very good, the external posture is quickly practiced.

    After the picture of the snowflake crab fight came out, Feng Qianguan's employees immediately became more emotional, and the speed of eating staff meals also accelerated.

    "Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo this this is, what kind of good food this does not eat before!"

    "Boss, let's serve this dish next." Someone urged.

    "That's right, if this dish is served in the store, it will be linked with this drama, and it can also create a wave of publicity!"

    "What's going on with this drama! Is there something wrong with the editor? He has stopped this scene for a long time!"

    However, the proposal to introduce snow crab bucket as a new dish did not stick around for long.After a while, another extremely tempting dish appeared on the screen.

    "In those few days, I almost cooked half a cookbook for them." Jiang Ci said while eating.

    The employees watched with staring eyes.

    All right, they already had a hunch.

    ...

    As a loyal fan of "Jiang Jiang's Kitchen", Lin Yun has watched all of Jiang Jiang's videos over the past few months, and often spares time on weekends to learn how to cook the home-cooked dishes Jiang Jiang talked about.There has been a great improvement.

    After improving her cooking skills, especially when she found that the dishes she cooked were better than most restaurants outside, Lin Yun loved cooking even more. Recently, whenever she was free, she would prepare bento to the company.

    At twelve o'clock, the company began to take a lunch break.Lin Yun walked to the tea room and took out her bento from the refrigerator, and heated it in the microwave.

    "Lin Yun, did you bring your own food again?" a girl asked.

    "Yeah." Lin Yun smiled, and a few seconds later, the microwave made a "ding" sound, and Lin Yun took out her bento.

    On the other side, the girl also took out the lunch box she brought from the refrigerator.

    Lin Yun took a look. The girl in front of her was a colleague of her project team. She was quite self-disciplined and kept in good shape. She ate salad at least six days out of seven.

    Sure enough, the girl's lunch box today is also a piece of light green and dark green, all of which are vegetable leaves.

    The girl smelled the fragrance from Lin Yun's lunch box, and couldn't help pursing her lips: "It smells so good!"

    Lin Yun recently learned a new dish, and she wanted to let others try it, so she hesitated for a while and asked, "I made braised bamboo shoots in oil today, do you want to try it?"

    "Braised bamboo shoots in oil?" The girl glanced at her lunch box. Under the transparent lid, the bamboo shoots were bright red in color, and at first glance they were... oily.

    "Forget it, thank you." The girl politely declined.

    Lin Yun just asked casually, and seeing this, she gave up the idea of asking someone to taste it. After returning to the office, she sat back at her desk and began to eat.

    Lin Yun munched on the braised bamboo shoots in oil. The freshness of the bamboo shoots and the salty and slightly sweet sauce blended together very well, which whetted her appetite.

    Sure enough, learning how to cook with Jiang Jiang is absolutely right.

    Lin Yun recalled the news she saw in the comment area of "Jiang Jiang Kitchen" two days ago, and quickly opened the video website, and the newly released "Delicious Variations" had already started scrolling in the advertisement column above the video area.

    It is said that this is a play directed by Jiang Jiang as the technical director!

    When Lin Yun clicked play, the girl came back with Salad.Seeing the screen in front of Lin Yun, she said in surprise, "Oh, Lu Jiashu's play!"

    Lin Yun was surprised: "You know?"

    "Yeah, I've been paying attention to Lu Jiashu, so I'll take a look." The girl simply pulled the chair next to her.

    Seeing the salad in the girl's hand, Lin Yun thought about Boss Jiang's skills, and said thoughtfully, "This is...a drama about food."

    "Well, what's the matter?" The girl didn't understand what she meant, her big eyes blinked.

    "...Forget it, it's nothing." Lin Yun turned her head silently.

    When the girl came over, Lin Yun had just started, and now the opening song has just finished playing.The two stared at the screen with piercing eyes while holding their respective lunch boxes.

    Both of them have watched a lot of idol dramas, so when various scenes with pink atmosphere appeared, they behaved relatively calmly.

    The girl ate the grass in her mouth unhurriedly.

    until

    "Snowflake Crab Fight!" Lin Yun recognized the dish.It's not a home-cooked dish - at least she doesn't make it at home, but she's seen it.

    The editor seemed to have his own ideas. When the snowflake crab bucket appeared, Lin Yun felt that the tone of the entire screen became softer, and a yellowish halo enveloped the entire lens. The delicate crab bucket was covered with fluffy and soft egg whites.When the spoon is pressed down, the smooth and tender egg whites are pressed out of the depression... Immediately afterwards, the egg whites are dug up, and the tender crab meat and the fat and delicious crab roe underneath are exposed in an instant...

    "Shooting... as if it would glow..." the girl murmured.

    The grass in my mouth suddenly loses its fragrance.

    The girl closed her eyes hard, and continued to chew the purple cabbage in her mouth, ah, it was so bitter.

    In comparison, Lin Yun felt better.She gulped down a piece of stewed bamboo shoots in oil, and the joy brought by the stewed bamboo shoots in oil allowed her to temporarily suppress her desire for snow crab buckets.

    The aroma of the stewed bamboo shoots emanated faintly, complementing the picture on the screen.

    The girl turned around in pain.

    Woohoo, now she knows why Lin Yun said that sentence so much.

    ...

    After "Delicious Variations" was broadcast, the main creators of the crew paid close attention to its performance.

    Thanks to the early publicity, when the TV series first aired, it was not completely without splashes, and the ratings gradually rose, reaching a quite satisfactory level.

    Seeing this, the crew quickly followed up with the follow-up publicity.Their publicity is mainly divided into two directions, one is the direction of the heroine and heroine's CP picking sugar, and the other is... pure late-night poisoning.

    The former is the usual publicity method for idol dramas, while the latter is the idea of the entire crew.

    Really... really want to see how everyone is crying.

    That night, a set of GIFs appeared on the official blog.

    The GIF includes detailed close-ups of the food that appeared in the show in the first two episodes.The images captured by hundreds of thousands of cameras are extraordinary, and soon attracted a lively sound.

    [Placing this picture in the middle of the night is poisonous!!!Woohoo, I'm getting fat again!】

    [The auntie in the dormitory has already pulled the shutter door, God knows how hard it took me to get the supper back from the delivery guy...]

    [I didn't watch idol dramas, but my sister's computer screen immediately stopped moving... Today's midnight snack market has my contribution.】

    [I said that after seeing a bunch of videos that use props as food, I was actually quite moved when I saw this movie... Tears are already streaming down from the corner of my mouth woohoo]

    [I beg the same team to make a food documentary for dinner, I'll catch up!】

    In addition to discussing food, there are also quite a few drama fans who follow the hero and heroine CP, and some new netizens who are attracted by TV dramas searched the news that Lu Jiashu had forwarded before, and posted the animation of Jiang Ci cooking under the GIF.

    【Are these dishes made by this little elder sister?Cooking is also pleasing to the eye!】

    After a while, there were many replies under this comment.

    【Ahhh, I know it!This is our Mr. Jiang from Feng Qianguan in City A. The grand occasion of the last food festival is still vivid in my memory!】

    【that is!Boss Jiang's craftsmanship is really amazing!It's been in the news!】

    [On purpose!The crew must know how hard it is to make a reservation at Boss Jiang's restaurant? They even posted this picture to seduce me!】

    Netizens who knew about it below also posted information about "Jiang Jiang Kitchen", and for a while, "Jing Jiang Kitchen" also gained a lot of fans.

    ...

    City B business district.

    The glass exterior walls of skyscrapers reflected the light blue sky. Outside the building, the early summer sunlight had already brought a little heat, while inside the building, the sufficient air-conditioning made Yang Chuan subconsciously tighten his suit jacket.

    After Yang Chuan replied to the message on the phone, he curled his lips in a good mood: "The new male lead has been decided, he is much better than that guy Lu Jiashu, let's talk about today's investor, hehe, our dramaJust get ready for the fire."

    The assistant at the side passed Yang a cup of hot tea. He knew that after Lu Jiashu rejected his boss before, he always looked down upon him, and even said on his account that he was contradictory and had no professional ethics. Netizens who didn't know the truth scolded Lu Jiashu again.A pass.At this time, the assistant went along with the flow and flattered: "Lu Jiashu missed this opportunity. It's his bad luck. Our current hero is even bigger than him."

    "Hehe." Yang Chuan twitched the corners of his lips, "That guy has no eyes, the company is about to give up on him, and he dares to play with me? Don't you look down on my film?"

    Yang told the story halfway and shut his mouth.A young man wearing a work badge walked over with a smile: "Director Yang, Mr. Liu, please go over here, please."

    Yang Chuan will be a little nervous. He is in the headquarters of a domestic video platform. The market share of the platform is considerable, and the website traffic is usually huge. He has tried everything possible to get on this line.

    Yang Chuan followed the young man to Mr. Liu's office, and when he passed the office area, he looked curiously.

    After all, it was a video platform, and TV dramas were playing directly on the screens in front of some employees.When Yang Chuan glanced over, he was taken aback for a moment.

    He saw the faces of Lu Jiashu and Su Kexin.

    The next moment, the screen in front of the employee suddenly went black, and then a picture of mouth-watering food flashed out.

    From a distance, Yang Chuan heard the staff comment: "The plot is not too novel, but it is quite sweet, especially this scene is full of sincerity! This shot was shot, tsk tsk!"

    The person next to him spoke up, "Lu Jiashu really knows how to cook, right? That action just now was very professional!"

    "Fart, he revealed that all he cooks are dark dishes. In the show, he was professionally guided. By the way, he was instructed by this 'Ginger Kitchen'!" The speaker seemed to call outwhat page.

    As the pace continued to move forward, Yang Chuan could no longer hear the voices of those two people. He was a little distracted, and continued to observe while walking.

    In the office area, many employees are broadcasting videos. Almost every few meters, he will see a piece of "Delicious Variations", or a picture of Lu Jiashu and Su Kexin in the same frame, or a food that makes the index finger moveclose up.

    Yang Chuan couldn't understand it.

    What happened, why are so many people paying attention to "Delicious Variations"?

    If it’s not exciting to fall in love, what’s so good about cooking?

    The young man noticed his gaze, but did not notice the strangeness beneath his expression.He said with a smile: "Recently, "Gourmet Variations" has become popular. At first, people were not very optimistic about it, but unexpectedly it still has a market."

    Yang Chuan came back to his senses, met the young man's gaze, and smiled a little stiffly: "Is that so..."

    The young man smiled and said, "Yes, it's a pity that our company didn't fight for the right to broadcast "Delicious Variations" before. Haha, we can't miss Director Yang's film this time."

    When Yang Chuan heard the first half of the sentence, he almost couldn't hold back, but after hearing the second half of the sentence, his complexion improved a little.

    Yang Chuan smiled and said, "It is our honor to cooperate with your company."

    When he was about to reach Mr. Liu's office, another middle-aged man came out of the office.When he saw Yang Chuan, he raised his eyebrows in surprise. Compared with young people, he didn't have much smile on his face.

    The middle-aged man looked at Yang Chuan: "Director Yang?"

    Yang Chuan stopped and looked at him unexpectedly: "I am."

    Middle-aged man: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu has an urgent matter later, so I'm afraid we won't be able to talk today."

    Yang Chuan hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'll come back another day."

    "No need." The middle-aged man had no intention of being polite to him, and politely declined, "Director Yang, our investment department has reviewed the information you sent, and our platform is probably not suitable for your drama."

    "It's not suitable? How is it possible!" Yang Chuan blurted out, the video platform puts everything and votes for everything, so there is nothing suitable or inappropriate, this is clearly an excuse!

    The middle-aged man is not very polite: "Our consultant read the outline of the story you sent, and he can't be blunt. Of course, we still really want to cooperate with you. Director Yang, if there are other new dramas, please send them to seeBar."

    This is a fairly straightforward rejection.

    "Didn't you just say it well yesterday..." Yang Chuan felt his breath stuck in his throat.

    The young man who had just flattered Yang Chuan was also stunned, and began to hate himself for his quick talk. He said he couldn't miss Yang Chuan's film, and was slapped in the face by the leader as soon as he turned around.

    The middle-aged man said a few words, without giving Yang Chuan a chance to react, he said goodbye to him quickly, and then walked to a nearby desk.

    After more than ten meters away, Yang Chuan heard his indistinct voice.

    "Contact the crew to see if the Delicious Variations may also be on our platform..."

    Yang Chuan: "..."

    ...

    The broadcast of "Delicious Variations" brought Feng Qianguan a new batch of diners.

    After being attacked by more than 20 episodes of delicious bombs, fans who watched the drama searched for Feng Qianguan hungry. Fans located in City A and the surrounding areas of City A even joined the daily number grabbingIn the army, Shengsheng pushed the already intense competition for number grabbing even more intense.

    [What the hell... I snatched it for half a month!Half a month!I have been stunned for 15 days, but I haven't grabbed it once. Is this restaurant really open?】

    [How many numbers are there in a day, even the boxes in Panjialou are not so difficult to book!】

    [I just happened to be in city A, I couldn't get an online account, so I wanted to go offline to try my luck, so I arrived two hours early, and it turned out... [picture jpg]]

    The netizen who posted this comment brought a picture of the scene by the way, and saw a long queue stretching in the distance in front of Feng Qianguan's signboard.

    The accounts of Feng Qianguan and Jiangjiang Kitchen have skyrocketed a lot of fans. Jiang Ci looked at the comments on the Internet and wondered which netizen added a tag of #做不住的风前馆# to Fengqianguan, attracting a lot of attention.Forward.

    The news of "Delicious Variations" finally reached Zhao Sulan's ears, probably from an old lady in the choir, and the gossip spread throughout the chorus.Zhao Sulan rarely came over to ask Jiang Ci to leave her a box.

    Zhao Sulan has always been afraid to trouble Jiang Ci, this is the first time she has spoken, and she wants to bring her friends to her granddaughter's shop.

    "No problem, I guarantee that you will eat to your heart's content." Jiang Ci, of course, fully agreed to the matter of making Zhao Sulan look good.After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ci turned to look for He Mingcan in front of the counter and asked him to reserve a box.

    However, the expression on He Mingcan's face was a bit subtle and complicated.

    Jiang Ci wondered: "What's wrong?"

    "Boss, that... I haven't had time to tell you that our box has been reserved for two months, and even Mr. Qi hasn't booked it several times."

    Jiang Ci: "?"

    He Mingcan scratched his hair, and said in a reserved tone with a bit of meanness: "Boss, why do you think...there are private rooms in the store, if you want them?"

    Jiang Ci: "..."

    The author has something to say:

    Boss Jiang: It’s very humble
