Chapter 501 Special Birthday

"Rachel, no... this, all this..."

At the Fernandez Hotel, facing Jennifer Connelly, who played his childhood sweetheart Rachel Dawes, Christian Bale seemed to not know what to say and stammered.

"This is not the real me. In fact, my heart is not so superficial..."

"Come on, Bruce."

In the sports car on the other side, two hot blonde girls shouted over here, "Come on, Bruce, let's buy a few more restaurants."

Rachel Dawes shook her head slightly and forced a smile: "Bruce, you are still that upright child deep down in your heart, but who you are underneath the surface is not important. What you do is important."

She turned and walked away.

"Stop," Gilbert Jr. called out, popped his head out from behind the monitor, and praised Christian Bale: "Well done, Bruce Wayne, keep it up."

"I feel like a great director, and it can be even better." Christian Bale remains humble.

Little Gilbert waved his hand and called Jennifer Connelly to him: "Rachel, I want a Rachel Dawes who is full of justice.

But you give me the feeling of Harley Quinn who just came out of Arkham Asylum.

Find the feeling, think about the mood you have when you do charity. "

Jennifer Connelly nodded seriously and said, "Okay director, I will carefully grasp the character's mentality."

"Take a five-minute break before shooting again..." Little Gilbert clapped his hands.

After a scene was filmed smoothly, Jennifer Connelly walked up to little Gilbert.

"Lean, how do you want to celebrate your birthday today?" asked little Gilbert.

"Let me think about it, why don't you cook a meal for me yourself?" Jennifer Connelly said with a smile, while thanking the narrator for wishing her a happy birthday.

"Sure," little Gilbert agreed.

Jennifer Connelly was stunned: "I'm kidding."

"I'm not kidding you, it really works." Little Gilbert said seriously: "It really works..."

Jennifer Connelly was a little touched, but still said, "No need, just sing a birthday song and eat a cake."

"How can that be possible?" Little Gilbert held Jennifer Connelly's hand and said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask the hotel kitchen to prepare the ingredients."

As he spoke, Gilbert Jr. called Ivanka and asked her to notify the kitchen of the hotel where the crew was staying to prepare food for him and then clear out a kitchen.

Today is Jennifer Connelly's birthday. After filming a few scenes and completing the scheduled plan, Gilbert Jr. announced that it was time to call it a day.

Charles Rowan also came over and said to little Gilbert: "It's Rean's birthday. We can book a bar to celebrate her birthday."

"No," said little Gilbert, "Rain and I both wish to be alone."

"Oh~" Charles Rowan said, "So you guys want to live alone. Got it."

Then Charles Rowan showed a meaningful smile and said, "Don't worry, no one will disturb you tonight."

"Charles, it's a pleasure working with you." Little Gilbert smiled.

When they returned to the hotel in the evening, everything had been arranged according to Ivanka's instructions, and a small kitchen had been vacated for little Gilbert to use.

Although it was just a simple birthday celebration, Jennifer Connelly wore a dress and put on light makeup with a very ceremonial sense.

When she arrived at the kitchen, little Gilbert was already washing and picking vegetables and preparing meat. His movements looked a little awkward, but he gradually became proficient.

When Jennifer Connelly came over, little Gilbert smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't cooked for a long time, so I'm a little rusty."

"It's okay, can I help?" Jennifer Connelly asked.

"No, no, just sit down. Today is your birthday." Little Gilbert pressed Little Gilbert onto the chair and continued.

Jennifer Connelly took the wine glass and poured two glasses of wine.

It was her first time to have a birthday meal in the kitchen, and it was a very novel experience.

Ivanka knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, I put the cake here."

"Okay," little Gilbert said without even looking up, processing the lamb chops in his hand.

The hotel's chef helped him with most of the things, but some things still required little Gilbert to do himself.

Jennifer Connelly saw Ivanka was about to go out, so she invited her, "Ivanka, how about staying for dinner?"

Ivanka secretly complained: Hypocritical, it's obvious that they don't want me to stay.

Ivanka was very sensible and smiled again: "No, there is still some work to be done."

After saying that, she glanced at little Gilbert who was cooking, then walked away with the clacking of her high heels.

"Does Ivanka like you?" Jennifer Connelly asked curiously.

"No, she may think I'm a good man." Little Gilbert boasted and received a cold stare from Jennifer Connelly.

"What delicious food are you going to make for me today?" Jennifer Connelly was looking forward to it.

"Let's combine Chinese and Western cuisine. This dish is lamb chops stewed with radish. I learned it from the chef of China's state banquet." Little Gilbert did not forget to brag while cooking.

"I heard that this dish is a staple at Chinese state banquets. It tastes very delicious and is a must-try."

Gilbert cut the lamb chops and carrots, then blanched the lamb chops. He boiled the water again and added the green onion, ginger, and the two unused carrots.

"The purpose of this step is to remove the mutton's mutton smell, so that the mutton retains its own delicious taste."

Gilbert Jr. explained as he cooked, putting the lamb chops and the soup into the casserole. "Simmer for an hour, take out the onions, ginger and radish, and add the chopped radish."

Jennifer Connelly seemed to understand: "Where did this casserole come from? I've never seen one this big."

"Ivanka got it from Chinatown. There are a lot of them there," Gilbert Jr. replied casually.

"While the lamb chops are stewing, let's work on the other dishes. Today we're going to keep it simple, so four or five dishes will be fine, right?"

"Yeah, yeah," Jennifer Connelly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

She rested her chin on her hand, smiling happily as she watched little Gilbert prepare dinner for her.

The next dish was called Lucky Lantern Shrimp. The hotel chef prepared lobster meat for little Gilbert, which had been processed and cut in advance, so little Gilbert didn't need to make any changes.

He washed the lobster meat with salt and added some vinegar, which he also got from Chinatown.

Thanks to Gilbert Jr., Chinese culture has spread a little in the past two years, and local food has also been introduced. Of course, Americans may not be accustomed to it, but soy sauce and seasonings are not difficult to find.

The Chinese soon discovered that their Lao Gan Ma, soy sauce, white vinegar, and aged vinegar were particularly popular abroad, so many import and export companies quickly exported these products to Europe and the United States.

Nowadays, it is not difficult to find these things in any large supermarket in North America.

Jennifer Connelly couldn't sit still. She walked around little Gilbert, touching this, looking at that, curious about everything.

"Don't make trouble..."

"No, I just want to help."

Jennifer Connelly watched little Gilbert prepare a dish of auspicious lantern shrimps as quickly as if it were a magic trick, and the presentation on the dish was particularly beautiful.

She couldn't help but take out her camera to take pictures, and said: "I'm going to post it on social media so that others can see it. Honey, you're awesome."

“That’s right,” Little Gilbert said proudly, “If I hadn’t come to be a director, I might have become a chef.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a chef, but being a director gives me more opportunities and opportunities!"

Jennifer Connelly pondered this line: "It feels like something a sophisticated politician would say."

“Hahaha, indeed…”

The two chatted while cooking. Jennifer Connelly couldn't sit still and wanted to help, but it ended up turning into a discussion.

Despite this, Gilbert Jr. still finished a few dishes, including a steamed fish dish. Knowing that Jennifer Connelly couldn't handle anything too spicy or strong, Gilbert Jr. cooked light dishes.

Finally, let’s have a French dish, the goddess steak, also known as Diana steak, which is said to be a must-have on a date.

Several dishes were prepared, accompanied by snacks, and the stewed lamb chops with radish was also cooked. The clear soup was served from the casserole, and I took a sip and felt delicious.

Little Gilbert wiped his hands and said to Jennifer Connelly who had been waiting for a long time: "It's almost time, let's eat!"

"Okay," the two of them didn't go out, but put candles on the small table in the kitchen and experienced a special candlelight dinner.

Jennifer Connelly tasted this and that. Even if Gilbert's cooking skills were not good, she couldn't say anything, because she thought it was delicious.

"cheers……"

The two clinked their glasses, the red wine swayed, and the beauty added fragrance.

Jennifer Connelly smiled like a flower, and looked beautiful under the dim light of the candle.

They chatted about everything and soon ate a lot.

"I'm so full. Damn it! I'm on a diet." Jennifer Connelly patted her belly.

"Then don't lose weight. The more you lose weight, the fatter you get." Little Gilbert laughed.

"Why are you cursing me? If I get fat, you're responsible."

"Yes, yes, it's my responsibility." Little Gilbert brought the cake over and put a small candle on it: "Make a wish quickly, I'll sing you a happy birthday song."

"Yeah," Jennifer Connelly put on her birthday hat, clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes and made a wish.

Little Gilbert clapped his hands and sang a happy birthday song to Jennifer Connelly.

After the birthday song ended, Jennifer Connelly blew out the candles on the cake, and little Gilbert immediately applauded to celebrate Jennifer Connelly's birthday.

"What did you wish for?" asked little Gilbert.

"Well, I hope my family is healthy and my children grow up smoothly," said Jennifer Connelly.

"anything else?"

“I hope our careers will progress steadily and we can realize our dreams.”

"This one is good too, do you have any more?"

"Of course," Jennifer Connelly whispered something in little Gilbert's ear, and little Gilbert's eyes lit up.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go back to the room!" Little Gilbert hugged Jennifer Connelly like a princess. Jennifer Connelly was too shy to move and buried her head in Little Gilbert's arms.

As for the leftovers, the hotel kitchen will naturally deal with them.

At this moment, the two had more important things to do and had no time to deal with these.

"My high heels..."

"I'll take it," Gilbert Jr. hugged Connery and rushed back to the room.

All that was left was a table full of unfinished food and an unburned red candle, swaying gracefully.
