| ← Ch.281 | Ch.283 → |
Xie Ming ignored everyone's judging gaze and went to her work. Firstly she cleaned the counter where she was supposed to cook.
For her, cleanliness is very important before starting cooking.
Soon, Xu Lan got a phone call and she went somewhere for a few minutes.
After that when she came back, with 4 people by her side.
Two men and the other two were women.
Xie Ming stared at them in confusion, while Wu Sheng went to greet them. They were the members of the cast and the cameramen and makeup artist of the movie.
The director Han has arranged for them to come for the workshop as well. They were the permanent staff of the production and was working with Mr Han for long.
If the staff get along with the actors, then it will help them to work more efficiently and in a good environment.
The other two young men and women were the other supporting cast of the movie. The girl was Han Ling who is playing the role of a concubine of the Emperor.
She is a playful and bright girl. She has worked in Mr. Han's other movie as supporting character before as well. He liked this girl and gave her a role in this movie.
Whereas the guy is going to play the role of Emperor's stepbrother. He has gotten along with everyone and wanted to join everyone at this workshop.
Wu Sheng already know the cameraman and the makeup artist as he has met them while accompanying Mr Han for interviews.
After than Xu Lan introduced them to Xie Ming and Jian Yan.
" Xie Ming, Jian Yan, come here. Let me introduce you guys. Xie Ming, this is our most hardworking cameraman. And this beautiful lady is our makeup artist who will transform you guys into your character."
" They would have joined us earlier but due to some work, they came late. You should get to know each other well because they are the ones who can make you look good in front of the camera." Xu Lan said in a low voice but enough to hear by everyone.
Everyone laughed hearing her words.
" And this is Han Ling, she will act along with you as the concubine of the Emperor." Xie Ming greeted her with a warm. Smile.
Then she introduced Mo Zan, who will perform as Emperor's stepbrother. There were other actors as well but not everyone could join them today because they had other schedules lined up or some don't need to take this training.
This is not only just a workshop for them to get to know each other but it is also held to make them aware of the historical culture and etiquette. They will be given a class on it later.
Xie Ming and Jian Yan greeted everyone and after that Xu Lan sent them upstairs to freshen up while they busied themselves in cooking for everyone.
Jian Yan has successfully started the fire and glanced at Xie Ming proudly.
Whereas Xie Ming was busy in her work and has asked Song Xiner to cut the veggies and meat for the barbecue in small pieces.
While she prepared a marinade sauce for it. Her hands worked skillfully as she seasoned the marination perfectly.
Except Jian Yan, everyone there was zero in cooking. They all live alone and do not have time to cook for themselves.
So they mainly lives off on the instant food. When they saw Xie Ming preparing the food, they were in awe.
She was preparing for a marinating sauce on one side and was working to make noodles on the other.
She was making various dishes at the same time. Even Jina Yan and Song Xiner was surprised to see her working like this.
It was Jian Yan's first time seeing her cooking like this. He was surprised by her cooking skills.
Her aura while cooking was different and charming.
...
Very soon, she has prepared various dishes including noodles, roasted veggies, and marinated meat. There were lots of delicacies placed on the table for them to eat.
Jian Yan roasted the meat and veggies on the barbecue as he did not let her come near it because the flame was high and could hurt her.
Xie Ming wanted to do it herself but in the end, she gave up in front of his stubbornness.
When everyone settled on the dining table in the garden on which there were lots of different dishes awaiting them, Xu Lan looked at Xie Ming with admire and said, " Xie Ming, you're truly amazing.
"You have prepared this much food alone. You're the best." she showed a thumbs up to her.
Xie Ming smiled lightly and said, " I wasn't alone. Song Xiner and Jian Yan helped me preparing all this. I didn't even do much." it was the truth that she didn't do much.
Chopping was done by song Xiner while Jian Yan did the barbecue. She only did some marination, seasoning and made the noodles.
.....
Xu Lan was sitting opposite of Xie Ming facing her while Jian Yan was sitting beside Xie Ming.
He had wanted to sit beside her, that's why he didn't let anyone sit beside her and claimed the seat.
As everyone was going to dig in, another person walked towards their table wearing a dazzling dress.
It was Yuan Lei.
She was wearing a short striped dress that was black. The dress was enhancing her curves and were making her look sexy and enticing.
She was dressed as if she came to a party while everyone has dressed casually because it was simple to get together.
Her dress was out of the place. They had just gathered to eat and barbecue but she looked like she was going to the club.
However, no one said anything as she walked up to them and said, " Dinner is ready? Oh. I am so hungry." she sat on the chair on the side of Jian Yan which was empty.
Xu Lan watched her as she sat beside Jian Yan but didn't say anything. Yuan Lei was looking like that nothing happened.
It seems that she has forgotten what happened with Bai Yang earlier.
They ignored her existence and started eating their food.
When Xu Lan took a mouthful of noodles, her expressions were surprised and she looked at Xie Ming emotionally.
" Xie Ming, did you cooked these noodles? These are the best noodles I have ever tasted. It's soft texture and the perfect seasoning was making it more delicious."𝗳𝗿ℯℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯𝘯oνe𝗹 - 🅽🅽novel
" If Mr. Han had tasted these noodles, then he would always ask you to cook these noodles for him." she laughed as she took another bite.
" It's not that good. Don't make it sound that only I can make these noodles." she laughed.
She always feels awkward whenever someone compliments her. She doesn't know how to take these compliments well.
Jian Yan looked at her smiling expression and felt that something was amiss.
If it was previous Xie Ming, she would have said gleefully, ' Of course. I am the best. No one can cook them better than me. '
However, she was being too humble when someone compliments her. Though he has not known her for long and only met her only once in the past, but sometimes only one moment is enough to know another person.
He felt that something was not right.
' Did she changed as she grew up? Is it my illusion only that she feels more distant than before?' he stared at her from the side.
....
Xu Lan's comment has increased everyone's expectations.
They also hurriedly tried the noodles made my Xie Ming and was shocked to taste such noodles.
They had visited many restaurants but this was something different and tasted authentic and is very savoring.
Wu Sheng also looked at Xie Ming and said, " I didn't know that you could cook so well. You're good at this. I think you should open a restaurant and keep it as your main dish."
Everyone laughed at his comment and backed up by saying, " Yes. You should do that. I will come to your restaurant regularly to eat these delicious noodles."
" Yes. It's really good."
Xie Ming just smiled at them awkwardly. It's uncomfortable when someone compliments you this much.
Cooking is not a big deal for her but people are complimenting her like she has done something incredible.
