Chapter 366 of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" premieres!

"If we can't eat it tonight, we'll marinate half of it to make preserved fish and air-dry the other half to make dried fish."

"When filming starts next season, this will be our food reserves. No one can cut back on our rations."

The director's eyes widened in disbelief, and more cigarette ash fell onto his trousers.

"Ah Chen, aren't you thinking too far ahead? This season has only just begun!"

The staff around couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dilraba ran out carrying a basin of water, and Brigitte Lin and Wang Zuxian squatted down to help.

If this kind of footage were to get out, it would definitely cause a major earthquake in the entertainment industry.

Three generations of goddesses are busy around a pot of fish, while the central figure is the man known as "the most handsome face in the world".

Xiao Chen processed the fish extremely quickly, scaling, gutting, and cleaning it all in one go.

"Sister Mei, could you please get me some coarse salt?"

Xiao Chen was busy and gave instructions without looking up.

Mei Yanfang responded and quickly ran into the kitchen.

Leslie Cheung couldn't sit still any longer. He lifted his straw hat and moved closer to Xiao Chen.

"Ah Chen, is there anything I can help with? I'd also like to participate in the creation of this 'whole fish feast'."

Xiao Chen handed him a bamboo skewer and pointed to the cleaned small fish next to him.

"Brother, you're in charge of stringing these together. We're going to make grilled fish later."

Leslie Cheung took the bamboo skewer, nodded with a serious expression, as if he had received some national-level scientific research mission.

A camera nearby faithfully recorded all of this.

The director was overjoyed as he watched the footage on the monitor.

The camerawork, the relationships between the characters, the sense of realism…

Especially Xiao Chen, that kid is absolutely amazing.

Even when cleaning fish entrails, the movements have an indescribable beauty.

That blend of maturity and youthful playfulness is a killer weapon for winning over readers of all ages.

Half an hour later, a rich aroma wafted from the kitchen of the Mushroom House.

That's the aroma of hot oil releasing the fragrance of scallions, ginger, and garlic, mixed with the unique meaty aroma of fresh fish.

Xiao Chen stood in front of the stove, his spatula flying in his hands, his expression focused.

If Yeh Hui-mei saw this scene, she would probably complain about how hard her son was working.

But for Xiao Chen, this was a long-awaited moment of relaxation.

He had spent too much time under the mercury lamps, and this kind of down-to-earth atmosphere made him feel real.

"Dinner's ready!"

Dilraba's clear voice echoed throughout the courtyard.

Four large basins of fish were served on the table.

The braised fish is a bright red color, the sauerkraut fish soup is golden, the steamed fish is tender and juicy, and there is also a plate of sizzling grilled fish.

Wang Zuxian couldn't help but swallow, his eyes fixed on the pot of braised fish.

"Wow, this smells amazing!"

Brigitte Lin also praised it.

"With Ah Chen's cooking skills, I think he could open a restaurant."

Xiao Chen untied his apron, sat down next to Dilraba, and casually picked up a piece of the tenderest fish belly meat for her.

"Working at a restaurant is too tiring; I feel more accomplished cooking for my sisters."

These words made the goddesses overjoyed.

Leslie Cheung eagerly picked up a bite, panting heavily from the heat, but reluctant to spit it out.

"Mmm! This is the taste! Ah Chen, you really are my brother!"

The group sat around a table in the pavilion, with a dazzling starry sky overhead and the chirping of insects from the fields in their ears.

Mei Yanfang held up the juice in her hand.

"Come on, let's drink to Ah Chen's 'whole fish feast,' and to our 'life we ​​yearn for'!"

"Cheers!"

The crisp sound of glasses clinking echoed through the night.

The laughter and chatter in the pavilion gradually subsided into tranquility as night deepened.

The whole fish feast left the big shots completely satisfied, especially Wang Zuxian, whose lips were red from the spiciness, yet he still stared at the red oil at the bottom of the pot, clearly not wanting to leave.

Xiao Chen got up and quickly cleaned up the mess, giving Dilraba no chance to help at all.

He washed his hands, walked into the courtyard, and smiled at the yawning men.

"Dear brothers and sisters, the air is fresh in the countryside, but it's also easy to get sleepy. Why don't you get some rest?"

Leslie Cheung stretched and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder, his eyes full of affection.

"Ah Chen, let's do more shows like this in the future. It's much more comfortable than acting in front of those bosses."

Mei Yanfang nodded in agreement. Her health hadn't been very good in recent years, but staying at the Mushroom House had given her a renewed sense of energy and vitality.

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, his tone teasing.

"Sure, as long as Sister Mei doesn't mind the mosquitoes, my door is always open."

I slept soundly through the night, and the mountain morning air was refreshingly cool.

Xiao Chen got up the earliest, and soon the sound of evenly chopping vegetables filled the kitchen.

When Brigitte Lin opened the door, a pot of white, sticky congee and several delicate and refreshing side dishes were already laid out on the table.

"Getting up so early? It's not a good thing for young people to sleep too little."

Lin Qingxia sat down with a smile, looking at Xiao Chen's overly clean-cut face, and couldn't help but sigh.

Even without makeup, her face glows white in the morning light; it's as if God himself fed her with this face.

Xiao Chen ladled out a bowl of porridge and handed it over, speaking gently.

"I'm used to it. The early bird catches the worm."

Wang Zuxian rubbed his eyes as he walked out, and the aroma of porridge instantly revived him.

After this farewell dinner, the atmosphere of parting truly intensified.

Two black minivans had been waiting at the entrance of the courtyard for some time.

Lin Qingxia held Xiao Chen's hand, her voice tinged with reluctance.

"Ah Chen, next time you go to Hong Kong, you must call your sister. I'll show you my skills then, although it definitely won't taste as good as yours."

Wang Zuxian chimed in from the side.

"That's right. If I find out you sneaked away and didn't come to find us, the consequences will be severe."

Xiao Chen helped them put their luggage away, politely hugged each of them, and smiled brightly.

"Definitely, just don't complain that I eat too much when the time comes, my two older sisters."

After seeing off the Buddha statue, Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung also left ahead of schedule due to scheduling conflicts.

The once lively courtyard was suddenly left with only Xiao Chen and Reba, who was still eating a steamed bun.

"Let's pack up and head back to Beijing."

Xiao Chen flicked Dilraba's forehead, looking at the little girl's still chubby face with the loving gaze of an older brother.

Dilraba rubbed her head and mumbled something.

"Okay, okay, Brother Chen is the most handsome. Stop flicking me, what if you make me stupid?"

"I wasn't very smart to begin with."

Xiao Chen casually tossed out a sentence and turned to go into the inner room.

It was already evening when we got back to Beijing.

Wang Jinhua personally came to the airport to pick up Xiao Chen. Although she is now the helmsman of Shishiba Culture, she still prefers to personally handle Xiao Chen's affairs.

"Chenzi, over here."

Wang Jinhua waved and watched Xiao Chen walk over, her eyes filled with pride.

Xiao Chen took Wang Jinhua's bag casually, speaking as naturally as a family member.

"Sister Hua, you've lost weight again? Is it because those new recruits are being disobedient lately?"

Wang Jinhua glared at him, but couldn't suppress a smile.

"Isn't it all because of your 'Empresses in the Palace'? CCTV has been pushing it for ages, and it's finally premiering tonight."
