The next day, Bai Haoxue went to work as usual. During lunch, she took so ti to visit the set of "Seeking Words in the Golden Era."
The crew was having lunch, and every staff mber was extrely satisfied with the food, praising Shen Qi’s cooking skills.
Seeing Bai Haoxue arrive, Shen Qi quickly went to the kitchen to serve a portion for her.
Bai Haoxue said sowhat apologetically, "Cooking for the crew, do you feel wronged?"
The Shen Family Cuisine has been passed down for hundreds of years.
But she currently doesn’t have that much funding, so she can only temporarily inconvenience Shen Qi.
Once the drama makes money, the first thing she’ll do is set up her private restaurant.
"Of course not." Shen Qi shook his head vigorously, "As long as I have a place to cook, if there are people who genuinely like my cooking, I am already very satisfied. I am very thankful to Miss Bai, and I will work hard."
"I certainly believe in you," Bai Haoxue said, "Even the director is full of praise for your cooking; it’s perfect in color, aroma, and taste, without a flaw. The fild outco is much better than using props."
In the script, the male and female leads, Bei Shengrui and Xun Yu’er, have been to many places, experiencing local customs everywhere.
Since Xun Yu’er is characterized as a foodie, she eats wherever she goes.
So, the food has beco the focal point.
Initially, the director discussed with her, saying that if they constantly used food props, not only would the crew have to make countless props, but the filming effect wouldn’t be good either.
However, hiring a chef to cook specifically would be a huge expense.
Moreover, during filming, there would be countless retakes, and chefs generally don’t have that kind of patience.
But Shen Qi is different.
No matter how many tis Shen Qi had to cook, or how many tis the director asked for a redo, he was always happy.
Just like he said, as long as there’s a place and opportunity for him to cook, and people genuinely like his dishes, he feels satisfied and happy.
Of course, most importantly, his cooking is good, better than many chefs.
Bai Haoxue carried the food to find Xi Wei, only to find the usually hearty-eating Xi Wei looking listless and absent-minded, picking at the rice in her bowl without appetite.
"What’s wrong, Yiyi? Didn’t you say you could eat Shen Qi’s food until you’re overstuffed every day?"
Xi Wei said, "If I could, I really want to ask you and the director for a few days off, but I’m the leading actress, I can’t leave."
As the leading lady, if she leaves willfully, it would affect the entire crew’s progress.
Every minute and second of delay costs money, let alone a few days.
"Did sothing happen?" Seeing Xi Wei’s expression, Bai Haoxue also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Actually, it’s not a big deal," Xi Wei said sowhat embarrassedly, "I’m just worried about Li Mingmo."
"Li Mingmo?" Bai Haoxue didn’t understand, "Didn’t he go back? Did sothing happen to him?"
Xi Wei said, "It’s about the flash floods and mudslides caused by continuous heavy rain in Yiqing County.
I don’t know the specifics either, my brother told .
Due to an error by the local governnt personnel, they didn’t issue a storm warning, nor notify the local residents to evacuate in ti, resulting in serious casualties.
I heard there’s a big reservoir there, which usually gets checked daily, but this ti, the heavy rain filled the reservoir suddenly, yet no one checked, and eventually, the reservoir burst, causing many deaths.
Those people are afraid of the matter being exposed and facing punishnt from above, so they’ve been concealing the local disaster situation."
