Chapter 1544: Chapter 1419: Mysterious Gift
Song Tan discussed going out with Lun Chuan at ho, and ntioned it to the family after dinner.
Everyone was pretty calm: “Go have fun; it’s almost May Day, there will be a lot of people out, so make the most of it now.”
Only Lun Jing hesitated for a mont, then looked at her son’s now fair and delicate face: “With how you look now, no one would recognize you, right?”
Everyone at the table knew who “no one” was.
Lun Chuan nodded and served his mom a piece of braised oxtail: “Don’t worry.”
The oxtail was cooked until it was soft, tender, and rich in flavor; the broth almost gelatinous, with a slight spiciness that stimulated her taste buds, making her moan instantly:
“Ah! I didn’t plan to eat! I was going to have salad with those two celebrities to lose weight later!”
The difference being that the celebrities used store-bought ingredients, while she used Tan Tan’s household ingredients.
But the oxtail was already in her bowl, and oh dear, sohow she accidentally took a bite…
So Lun Jing ate with tears in her eyes, also trying a bit of other dishes like braised beef shank and stir-fried beef—to calm down, after all, this high-quality protein doesn’t make you gain weight, right?
It was a bit spicy, and Seventh Uncle brought out a large bowl of peach gum with white fungus soup: “Want so? The peach trees on the mountain didn’t produce much peach gum, I picked whatever I could spare ti for… Now, science says this stuff isn’t nutritious, but I think we should listen to our traditional Chinese dicine!”
“Can Western dicine explain the energy and blood supplent in traditional Chinese dicine?”
Seventh Uncle had his theories, and asked everyone: “If it’s sunny tomorrow at noon, should I prepare a chilled bowl of pickled green peaches in sweet syrup? Drink or not?”
Just hearing about pickled green peaches made everyone’s mouth water, and the peach gum soup was already ladled into bowls; the filial son Lun Chuan asked Lun Jing considerately: “Mom, do you still want to drink this soup?”
Lun Jing looked at the semi-transparent amber-like brown peach gum in the bowl, and the QQ tender white fungus with the sa jiggly texture…
“Drink! It’s not that I’m not serious about losing weight, but this is our first ti drinking this peach gum! I’ll warm up with this salad today, and start seriously tomorrow. Don’t call
for als tomorrow!”
This was said to everyone at the table.
Everyone picked up their bowls to drink soup, and nobody really paid her any mind… From New Year until now, she’s been talking about losing weight, and hasn’t missed a al; it was nothing new, all were used to it.
Lun Jing: …
So frustrated! She was really serious about losing weight! Tomorrow she’ll start following the diet plan of those two skinny celebrities!
Seventh Uncle was a bit interested in the trending low-fat diets online, and eagerly asked: “Want shrimp and egg or not? If you want it, take so tonight!”
Lun Jing: …
Shrimp from the pond, caught fresh in the morning, still lively river prawns! Whether with leeks or scallion oil, the flavor…
She quietly sipped the white fungus soup, then said decisively: “I want it!”
As the mother and son headed towards the guesthouse, Song Tan then said to Wu Lan: “Mom, I’ll have a few packages arriving the day after tomorrow. Can you ask Dad to help pick them up?”
Lately, there have been no deliveries, so Brother Xiaozhang hasn’t co by, yet Wu Lan was a bit curious: “What packages? Is it urgent?”
Song Tan laughed: “It’s Lun Chuan’s birthday on the seventh day of the fifth lunar month. I bought a gift in advance… Mom, when the ti cos…”
She leaned over and whispered instructions, suddenly grateful that Lun Chuan had already moved back to the guesthouse. Otherwise, if both lived on the second floor, the secret would inevitably be exposed.
Moreover, at the guesthouse, the agent was sitting in the lobby looking at the various flowers under the night lights, watching the photographer and assistant outside constantly searching for angles, recording the equipnt and clothing needed for tomorrow, with eyes bright and full of energy.
Seeing the mother and son return, the agent’s eyes were drawn to them again—no matter how one looks, both appearances and temperants were outstanding, really not considering signing with a company?
Even if not to be stars, becoming internet celebrities is also an option!
But the mother and son didn’t spare an extra glance. Lun Chuan went straight upstairs, and Lun Jing asked considerately in the lobby: “Should I make the guests’ salads now?”
“No.”
The agent replied coolly: “They drank so much milk tea in the afternoon, and will be on cara tomorrow, can’t have full stomachs, better have boiled eggs.”
Lun Jing: … There wasn’t “so much”! She served the milk tea, of course, she’d know! It was only half a cup!
Thinking again of their skinny appearances… Oh dear, with this, they still want to lure her Xiaochuan to beco a star, within a year, he’d be starved into hypoglycemia, no way!
But she still seriously advised: “I’d better prepare so more, tea is really energizing. I worry you won’t be able to sleep all night and feel hungry and irritable, it’s really uncomfortable!”
The agent wasn’t afraid at all!
But looking at Lun Jing’s earnest look, she thought she might be feeling guilty for not doing work after receiving a large preparation fee?
So she nodded: “Then boil two more eggs, but I’m not eating.”
After thinking a bit more, she added: “Prepare one for the photographer as well—or actually, I’ll ask them what they want.”
The photographer wasn’t too concerned about food; at that mont, engrossed in test shooting, he replied casually: “Whatever special midnight snack you have at twelve, I’ll have one.”
Lun Jing: … What’s so special here? Just Tan Tan’s household ingredients!
“It’s quite expensive, the organic vegetables here won a national award—” She thought about it and tentatively gave a price: “I’ll make a simple country-style sandwich for you tonight, with carbohydrates for a good sleep—if it’s regular ingredients, I won’t charge. If it’s our special ingredients, then it’s 199 each.”
199 each?
Even in the entertainnt industry where prices are shocking, the agent almost gasped: I’m not a fool!
But thinking of the free milk tea offered in the afternoon, with the mindset of “since I’m here, I might as well taste why it’s so pricey,” and seeing the interested gaze of the high-priced, highly-connected photographer, decided to nod in agreent.
“Bring two… bring three!”
The photographer eats it, so does she!
Seeing the satisfied smile on Lun Jing’s face, as if praising her wisdom, the agent had a montary rush and couldn’t help but ask: “If your son doesn’t want to be a star, would you like to try? The middle-aged actor track is also broad now, and you could even romance a CEO!”
Lun Jing’s good looks, photogenic presence, and tiless aura, plus she’s a newcor so not as pricey as other veteran actors…
If not picky about scripts, there’s still a broad market.
Their company’s short drama productions are quite popular!
