Chapter 486 - 474: Wanting to Confirm Her Own Thoughts
On the film crew’s side.
The camera kept rolling, and from the start until now, Director Lin hadn’t called cut even once. His whole demeanor was relaxed and satisfaction was written all over him. All his initial worries vanished with Liu Feifei’s extraordinary performance.
Exactly!
Everything shown on the monitor was almost perfect.
He didn’t expect Liu Feifei to match up so well with the esteemed actor Wen Yanqing, giving a performance full of tension without falling behind at all.
It truly was remarkable!
Director Lin was delighted!
The other crew members were even happier.
For them, the smoother the shooting process, the easier their jobs were, eliminating the need for repeated takes.
The afternoon shoot went smoothly as well, and the planned scenes were completed ahead of schedule.
Thanks to Liu Feifei’s outstanding performance, most scenes were finished in one take, almost moving the crew to tears of gratitude.
Even the veteran actors found themselves looking at Liu Feifei, a popular star, with new respect.
By five o’clock, they wrapped up for the day.
Everyone gradually went to eat, tiredness showing on their faces.
Before leaving, the esteemed actor Wen Yanqing nodded at Liu Feifei and exchanged a few words with her, mostly compliments.
This left Liu Feifei somewhat flattered.
Of course, receiving acknowledgment of her acting from such a veteran made her very happy. She politely and respectfully thanked him for his hard work as she watched him be escorted to a resting area by his assistant.
Meanwhile, Xiaoxiao had already set up a small table in the lounge with dinner laid out. When Liu Feifei arrived, she quickly waved, "Feifei, I got the grilled three-flavor seaweed sushi you wanted."
"Great, let’s eat then!"
The two of them sat down at the small table together. Liu Feifei picked up a piece of the grilled three-flavor seaweed sushi with her chopsticks and placed it in Xiaoxiao’s bowl as a reward: "This should taste pretty good, try it."
"Thanks, Feifei."
"No need to thank me, you worked hard today too, it’s only right to treat you."
Saying this, she started tasting the sushi, but then saw Li Qiongzhi walking past her.
Li Qiongzhi smiled and nodded at Liu Feifei, greeting her, "Feifei, just starting to eat?"
Honestly, Liu Feifei was a bit curious.
She was curious about why Li Qiongzhi, who usually didn’t have a good impression of her, suddenly took the initiative to greet her multiple times today.
She couldn’t figure it out, but still responded politely, "Yeah, Qiongzhi, going for a post-meal walk?"
"Oh, yes."
Li Qiongzhi pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something but didn’t, and just continued walking forward.
Liu Feifei didn’t think much of it, simply looking down at the few pieces of grilled three-flavor seaweed sushi in her hand.
She couldn’t help but speak up, "Xiaoxiao, don’t you think this sushi’s taste is rather mediocre?"
Overall.
The taste was okay!
It’s just, well!
Not as delicious as expected.
The fact that it ranked second on her to-eat list showed just how much she looked forward to this grilled three-flavor seaweed sushi.
But now...
She felt this grilled three-flavor seaweed sushi was far from meeting her high expectations, not to mention it seemed a bit overhyped.
She even wondered if the reviewers who praised it had been bribed by the restaurant.
Otherwise, why would sushi described as so delicious end up tasting so bland to her?
At this point, Xiaoxiao, who was also eating sushi from the same place, nodded in agreement after hearing Liu Feifei’s question, "Feifei, I thought I was the only one who felt this way! I didn’t expect you to share the same sentiment! Honestly, the taste of this sushi is quite average, not even as good as..."
She paused.
Glancing at Liu Feifei’s expression and seeing no sign of displeasure, she continued, "I think the taste of this sushi isn’t as good as the braised rice from the Delicious Restaurant at lunchtime! Even after lunch, I’m still thinking about the taste of Delicious Restaurant’s food!"
If it wasn’t for having to assist Liu Feifei with the filming in the afternoon and buying sushi for her in the evening, preventing her from going to the Delicious Restaurant to queue for food.
Otherwise, she would have continued eating at the Delicious Restaurant tonight!
Unfortunately...
She couldn’t be in two places at once and couldn’t make it there...
Moreover.
She had already found out that the Delicious Restaurant didn’t offer delivery service.
So she had no choice but to give up and eat sushi with Liu Feifei.
She thought that with Liu Feifei’s extraordinary taste for food, the sushi would also be quite good.
Who would have thought...
In the end, it was still a mistake.
Liu Feifei felt less embarrassed when she realized Xiaoxiao had the same experience as her.
After all, she personally selected and weighed the food on that list according to the rankings.
Saying it’s not delicious would be denying her own taste preferences, wouldn’t it?
She still cares about saving face.
But hearing Xiaoxiao say that, she faced her true feelings and immediately came to a conclusion.
Yes!
The dishes at Delicious Restaurant must be so tasty that the originally delicious Three Delicacies Seaweed Sushi pales in comparison.
After all, when you compare delicious with delicious, a difference will always emerge, right?
The food at Delicious Restaurant is naturally better!
Even her assistant Xiaoxiao is quite fond of it!
"The food at Delicious Restaurant is indeed very tasty."
Liu Feifei smiled, nodded, then her beautiful eyes lit up as she thought, "Oh, by the way, Xiaoxiao, what food are you getting tomorrow for lunch?"
During Liu Feifei’s filming downtime, Xiaoxiao had already done related research and remembered it well.
Without thinking, she immediately replied, "Tomorrow we’re having the Royal Sour Fish ranked third."
"Hmm!"
Liu Feifei said without hesitation, "Let’s delay that for now."
"Huh?"
Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened in slight surprise.
This has never happened before...
Could it be that Feifei is making an exception for Delicious Restaurant?
If Feifei still wants to eat food from Delicious Restaurant, then Xiaoxiao could conveniently buy some for herself tomorrow as well.
With this thought!
A joyful ripple rippled through her heart, and she couldn’t help but smile secretly.
The following words from Liu Feifei confirmed her guess.
"Xiaoxiao, go buy food from Delicious Restaurant tomorrow for lunch. Get me a Three-in-One Braised Meat Rice, a single portion of Honeyed Ham, vegetarian Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, and for soup, Fish Ball Soup!"
Liu Feifei took out her phone, opened Weibo, and entered Delicious Restaurant’s official account to check the dishes before giving the order.
Though the dishes she tried at noon were quite good.
She also wanted to try other flavors.
In addition, seeing Xiaoxiao enjoying the Three-in-One Braised Meat Rice at noon made her want to try it and order a few other dishes to taste the rest of Delicious Restaurant’s menu.
"Okay, Feifei, I’ll write it down and buy it for you tomorrow at noon."
Xiaoxiao happily took out her phone, opened the notes app, and recorded all the dishes Liu Feifei wanted to eat to avoid forgetting and buying less or the wrong ones.
"Alright."
Liu Feifei nodded generously, "Then you can go a bit earlier tomorrow noon and order whatever you want to eat."
Xiaoxiao thanked her, "Thank you, Feifei!"
Meanwhile, Li Qiongzhi returned to her exclusive recliner to rest as she still had another scene to shoot in the evening.
Her assistant had already tidied up her used dishes.
Seeing her return, she handed her the menu for tomorrow morning.
She wanted her to choose the dishes she wanted to eat and check them off so the chef could prepare the ingredients in advance.
But for Li Qiongzhi, eating was really just about filling her stomach.
The menu’s dishes and meals were always the same few choices.
Usually, she had no interest and didn’t care which was tastier, so she randomly checked one without concern.
But this afternoon...
For some reason, she remembered the aroma from Liu Feifei’s food when she passed by at noon and felt a slight desire to eat...
It was the first time in years she had a desire for food.
Li Qiongzhi was always the type to endure!
She didn’t believe it at noon.
She even suspected it was because filming made her so tired that she was hallucinating.
After finishing dinner, she purposely took a walk past Liu Feifei’s area to verify her thoughts.
Unfortunately...
There wasn’t the same tempting desire to eat as there was at noon...
Perhaps she really did feel wrong!
