The sweetest in the entertainment industry

Chapter 90 Humanity and Sophistication
Didn't they only send tea leaves and teaware?
Why so many?!

Gu Lanxi really wanted to grab someone by the neck and shake them hard!
She came to the mountains to film a movie, not to settle down here. That's too much!
"Hehe, maybe it's a gift from a fan. In this line of work, don't panic when something like this happens."

The tractor chugged along the village's only main road, attracting a crowd of onlookers who then began to discuss it amongst themselves.

The driver was one of the producers' employees, not a local. He had seen a lot in the industry and, seeing that Gu Lanxi was embarrassed, he still offered a word of advice.

"Probably not..."

Although she has received gifts from fans, they are always sent to her agency and then forwarded by the agency.

Besides, her birthday is still more than a month away, there's absolutely no reason for her to be in such a hurry to send it to the film crew!

Especially in such a remote place.

Her intuition told her it must have been sent by Lu Nanting.

Aunt Wang was cooking dinner in the kitchen, while Niu Lili was washing Gu Lanxi's worn-out sneakers in the yard. Hearing the noise, she ran to the yard gate and saw that Gu Lanxi's face was flushed. She thought Gu Lanxi had been in the sun too much and urged her to come inside.

"We moved in right away. Sis, you should hurry inside and do some after-sun care, or your skin will peel!"

Gu Lanxi has naturally fair skin and is not afraid of getting tanned, but she is most afraid of getting sunburned.

Niu Lili had been working for her for several years. She didn't understand at first, but she only realized it when her skin peeled from sunburn. Then the company took her back and gave her two more months of training.

Since then, I have paid special attention to this issue.

Back then, Gu Lanxi lived a rather rough life and didn't understand much. Later, she had money and leisure, and with the constant guidance of the Lu family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she was no longer the same as before.

Seeing her worried expression, Aunt Wang and Zhuang Xiaotong also looked over and quickly waved their hands:
"No sunburn, don't worry. Many hands make light work, we can carry it back in two minutes. The driver still has to go back to hand over his shift."

The four sped up, and the driver also came to help.

Even so, it took about ten minutes to move a truckload of packages into the main room.

There wasn't enough room on the table, so we had to pile them on the floor—a huge pile.

They gave the driver a bag of fruit, and then went back inside to unpack their packages.

Aunt Wang took a small pair of scissors and asked her to stand aside and watch.

Many celebrities have received terrifying packages. Aunt Wang was doing this for her own good. Gu Lanxi didn't argue and moved a chair to sit quietly to the side.

"Plum?"

"Tangerine peel?"

"Oh, this is a box of mulberry leaves."

"Is this a chrysanthemum?"

……

As the package was slowly unpacked, Gu Lanxi saw that besides the tea and teaware that Lu Nanting had mentioned, it was all ingredients for brewing herbal tea. She couldn't help but stand up!
"This thing is about half a person's height, and it doesn't feel very heavy. Is it a bucket or a pot?"

Aunt Wang quickly revealed the answer: "It's a stainless steel bucket with a faucet and a lid."

Upon lifting the lid, Niu Lili was quite surprised: "Wow, there's actually a stainless steel pot inside! The quality is surprisingly good."

Zhuang Xiaotong came over and helped her lift the pot out. She then opened the lid and saw that there was a water ladle inside!

"The handle of this spoon is way too short..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Wang had already picked up the spoon, pulled on the handle, and stretched it out.

It's actually scalable!

"This preparation is far too thorough!"

After reading it, Gu Lanxi suddenly realized who had prepared it and hurriedly called Zhang Ruolan.

Zhang Ruolan answered the phone and, before Gu Lanxi could ask, spoke up: "Manman, have you received your packages? Oh dear, if I had known the delivery service didn't come to the village, I should have sent a few people to make the trip." Gu Lanxi understood what was going on as soon as she saw the packages and was deeply moved. "Thank you, Mom. I'll make some herbal tea for everyone tomorrow."

Whether an actor is comfortable on set depends a lot on how well the staff treats them.

If the relationship is bad, even one NG might lead to unpleasant rumors about her acting skills. But if the relationship is good, even if she has to NG ten times, people will praise the director for his perfection and her for her hard work and ambition.

At the very least, they'll praise her for her good temper.

Therefore, when the lead actors join a production team, they usually treat everyone to a meal.

"Let's have milk tea! Let's have dinner!" The main message is that "if you eat someone else's food, you're obligated to eat their food."

Gu Lanxi wasn't ignorant of social etiquette, but in these mountains, she lacked the necessary conditions to do anything she wanted.

Shall we ask Aunt Wang to make mung bean soup?

With the recent hot weather, the crew's regular supply of chilled mung bean soup seems unnecessary.

How about we have dinner together?

The film crew has a canteen.

Cooking for dozens of people is a task that even Aunt Wang couldn't finish, no matter how hard she tried.

Originally, we planned to host a dinner party when the film crew moved to the county town, but now that my mother-in-law has already prepared it for her, and it's the height of summer, we can definitely do it this way!
"Take a look inside the pot. I've tucked a few herbal tea recipes into the instruction manual for you. Have someone brew them according to the recipe. Even if you brew a whole pot at once, those ingredients will be enough for several batches!"

Zhang Ruolan was very pleased with herself.

It was worth it for her to mobilize her think tank to come up with solutions.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Mom, have you forgotten? My grandpa runs a herbal tea shop."

My great-grandfather was addicted to opium and squandered the family fortune, so my grandfather had to run a herbal tea shop to make a living.

Fortunately, even a broken boat has some nails. Her grandfather had a herbal tea recipe passed down from his ancestors. Although he only ran a herbal tea shop, the income was still quite considerable.

She has a good memory; even if she only saw something when she was a child, she still remembers it perfectly.

"That's a perfect match for my major!"

Zhang Ruolan couldn't help but burst into laughter! Gu Lanxi also became happy.

After giving a few more instructions on taking care of her health, she hung up the phone. Then she saw Niu Lili helping Aunt Wang put the materials on the shelf against the wall in the main room, and Zhuang Xiaotong also went to the kitchen to bring in dinner.

Having not had soup for several days, Gu Lanxi drank three full bowls of the perfectly seasoned duck soup before stopping.

After dinner and a shower, I went back to my room.

Seeing that the message was still from the video call at noon and there were no missed calls, Gu Lanxi decided to wait until Lu Nanting's concert ended so she could talk to him before going to sleep.

I casually tossed my phone aside, pulled out the data analysis I hadn't finished reading from under my pillow, turned on the small desk lamp, and quietly began to look at it.

The mosquitoes in the mountains are fierce, but luckily the mosquito net works well. The mosquitoes can only buzz and fly around the net. I wonder if a few of them will die of anger randomly.

After reading for more than half an hour, Gu Lanxi's eyes were a little tired, so she put down the book, closed her eyes and rested for a while. When it was almost time, she picked up her phone.

[It's over. The organizers are hosting a small banquet tonight to thank the performance team. I might be a little late getting back to the hotel. Yuan Ge and Xiao Jiang are going with them. I won't get drunk, don't worry.]

There's nothing to worry about.

Gu Lanxi replied, "Okay, I'm going to sleep now." Just as she was about to put her phone down, she saw someone tagging all members in the fan group.

Okay, she secretly joined her own fan club...

[@All members are dying of laughter! News from the production crew says our Xi Bao is actually a shopaholic in private! Hahaha! Someone photographed a delivery truck, completely filled with packages—all for her! Hahaha!]

It's the last day of the year!!
My monthly pass is about to expire!!
Please!
