I really hadn’t expected this. Just yesterday I was awarded an Excellent Level Voiceover, and today this happened.
Regardless of whether Dundun arranged it or not, I’ve got to slaughter that fat goose at noon. It’s not just about keeping a promise to the kids—the main thing is, I also want to make stir-fried goose chunks for everyone to try.
Well, it’s not often I get to co back, so I have to try my best to cook sothing tasty for the family.
Zeng Xiaoqi took another sip of Honeysuckle Water.
"Let’s give it a try later. We’ll do it if it works. If not, we’ll wait..."
What she had actually wanted to say was that she would wait until her throat recovered.
But when would that be? We’re supposed to have roasted whole lamb for lunch, and it’ll surely be sprinkled with chili. Mr. Lin went to so much trouble to prepare it. It wouldn’t be right not to eat it, but if I do eat it... Sigh! This useless throat of mine, defeated by just a few pounds of spicy crayfish.
Lin Xu picked up a bun and took a bite. The filling, made of mountain vegetables and pork belly, tasted great. After a couple more bites of the bun, he turned his attention to the mushroom sauce highly recomnded by Yuanyuan.
The sauce was a bit dark and looked sowhat viscous. A thin layer of Red Oil coated the surface, probably due to the dried chili. When he stirred it with chopsticks, he could see finely chopped mushroom pieces inside.
He scooped up a little and tasted it. A rich, savory aroma imdiately filled his mouth. This potent flavor combined the salty fragrance of soybean sauce, the umami of wild mushrooms, and the spicy kick of Chili Oil. The combination of these flavors was an instant appetite stimulant!
Lin Xu was even reminded of the first ti he ate shiitake mushroom sauce back in high school; that delicious, savory flavor could make soone eat two extra stead buns. It was a pity that the shiitake mushroom sauce sold in stores had beco increasingly expensive and its flavor progressively milder. He hadn’t touched that stuff in years.
"Wow! This mushroom sauce is amazing!"
Shen Jiayue was still a bit sleepy and didn’t have much of an appetite. But one taste of the mushroom sauce sent a jolt through her. She imdiately grabbed a at roll and took a huge bite. After finishing it, she picked up her bowl of cornal porridge and took a sip. So good!
"I rember your grandma likes these kinds of preserved sauces. Take so back for her when you leave," Lin Xu said. He ate so more with his bun. It really was fantastic. Rembering that Old Mrs. Shen loved it, he decided to take so with him for her.
"Okay!" Shen Jiayue chirped.
After breakfast, Lin Xu followed Zeng Xiaoqi, whose voice was still hoarse, to a room upstairs to prepare for the voice test. She was staying in a corner room with a king-sized bed. It had two huge floor-to-ceiling windows, offering an excellent, unobstructed view of the distant mountains and reservoir.
Shen Baobao’s eyes widened as soon as she entered.
Wow! This place is gorgeous! This view is just as impressive as the Star Base!
On the computer desk in the room sat a laptop, with a portable recording device and several sheets of printed paper beside it.
Lin Xu picked up the script to familiarize himself with the content. Then Lin Xu turned on the computer, opened the recording software, and began to record using the portable device.
Zeng Xiaoqi’s idea was to first record a segnt as a test. If that didn’t work, they would think of other thods.
However, what she hadn’t expected was that once Lin Xu started recording, his control over syllables, intonation, and cadence made her feel as if she were back in a broadcast hosting training class.
With this level of Voiceover skill, even if he decided to do professional Voiceover work in the future, he definitely wouldn’t starve.
Listening to Lin Xu’s Voiceover, Zeng Xiaoqi quietly opened the cara app on her phone, shot a short video of Lin Xu, and then posted it under the "Lin Ji’s Food" topic with the caption:
"Who was it last ti that said Mr. Lin wouldn’t cross over into the Voiceover world?"
As soon as she posted it, "Invisible Chicken Wings," an insider in the Voiceover scene, was stunned.
"AHHHH! This can’t be real, right? Mr. Lin actually knows Voiceover?"
Others quickly left replies under Invisible Chicken Wings’ comnt:
"Sis, your predictions are scarily accurate! Why don’t you curse to fail my grad school entrance exam?"
"Curse to never find a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged girlfriend."
"Curse to live in poverty forever and never even make five billion."
"Curse to never reach my ideal weight in this lifeti."
"You guys are thinking too small! We should get Chicken Wings to curse housing prices to never fall!"
"The guy upstairs is bold!"
"Bold 1!"
"Bold 2!"
"..."
After finishing the Voiceover, Lin Xu put down the script.
PHEW... Turns out recording isn’t that troubleso after all.
"You’re amazing, Mr. Lin! If your business wasn’t doing so well, I’d genuinely want to invite you to join our travel channel," Zeng Xiaoqi said, her hoarse voice making Lin Xu’s own throat feel itchy. He couldn’t help but feel the urge to cough.
He laughed and said, "Xiaoqi, you should really try to talk as little as possible. In a bit, I’ll make you a bowl of egg water to try. It’s said to be effective for sore throats."
I rember when I was little, whenever my throat was sore from coughing and felt uncomfortable, Grandma would always make a drink with a raw Egg whisked with White Sugar in hot water. Now that Zeng Xiaoqi’s throat is in this state... Well, it’s worth a try. It might just work.
Zeng Xiaoqi agreed and began to edit the audio they had just recorded. She removed background noise, cut out repetitions and redundant sentences, and then adjusted the video content to match the Voiceover.
Lin Xu went downstairs and into the kitchen. He cracked an Egg into a bowl, whisked it with chopsticks, then poured in freshly boiled water. The Egg in the bowl instantly transford into fine, silken threads. He then sprinkled so White Sugar into the bowl, stirred it until evenly mixed, and had a hotel staff mber deliver it upstairs to Zeng Xiaoqi. While he was at it, he also asked the front desk manager to book a top-floor panoramic suite.
