How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 176: Got it?
Because Bai Lu was too focused on the conversation, he didn't realize it was already noon until he heard his stomach growling.

She didn't even notice it.

"Teacher Zhang, you must be hungry. What would you like to eat for lunch? I..."

Bai Lu originally wanted to say "I'll treat you," but suddenly realized that the other party was soft-hearted and not hard-hearted, and immediately wanted to show off, so he changed his words and said, "I'll cook for you."

She felt that she benefited greatly from the man's explanation throughout the morning. Some of her understandings were so profound that she couldn't come up with them even if she read the script a hundred times.

Therefore, going out to eat was not enough to express her gratitude. She had to cook by herself to show her appreciation. Doing so would also allow the other person to feel her sincerity and work harder in the afternoon lecture.

"Can you cook?" Zhang Wen was a little surprised. There are very few girls who can cook nowadays, not to mention that the other party is a star.

"Of course." Bai Lu raised his head, his face full of pride, and said boastfully, "When I first started in this industry, I lived alone in a rented house. To save money, I often cooked for myself."

"I can eat anything, I'm not picky. How about this, you just make what you're best at." Zhang Wen thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll do it now." Bai Lu stood up and walked towards the kitchen, humming a song.

Zhang Wen lowered his head and continued to look through the script, thinking about how to add water in the afternoon.

However, I have to say that Director Han Xiaohua is truly worthy of being a great director. His understanding of the script, whether it is the story or the characters, is extraordinarily profound.

He only talked with Director Han Xiaohua for an hour, and what the other party said was enough for him to talk about in front of Bai Lu for a whole day. If he talked with Director Han for a whole day, wouldn't Bai Lu be dizzy?

Less than half an hour later, Bai Lu's voice was heard from the kitchen.

"Teacher Zhang, dinner is ready!"

After hearing this, Zhang Wen closed the script, checked the time on his phone, and thought to himself: Time flies so fast.

He stood up and walked towards the dining room, his heart full of curiosity. He didn't hear the "bang bang" sound of cutting vegetables, nor the "sizzling" sound of frying, so his eyes were full of question marks about the food made by Bai Lu.

What is this delicious thing that doesn’t require cutting with a knife or frying in a pan?

Zhang Wen came and sat down at the dining table. He saw Bai Lu wearing a pink apron busy in the kitchen. She soon came out carrying a soup pot.

"Lunch is here!"

The soup pot was placed on the dining table, steam still coming out of it.

Zhang Wen looked at the food in the pot and was stunned.

Is this... instant noodles?

But it is not ordinary instant noodles. It contains prawns, abalone, crab legs, and a few vegetable leaves.

"Is this your specialty?" Zhang Wen asked Bai Lu who was sitting opposite him.

"Yes, seafood noodles. I often make it when I'm alone at home. Come and try it and see how it tastes." Bai Lu said as he handed over the chopsticks and bowl.

Zhang Wen took the bowl and chopsticks, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Can this be called cooking?
Putting seafood in instant noodles, isn’t that something anyone can do?

No wonder I didn’t hear the sounds of cutting and frying vegetables. Cooking instant noodles really doesn’t require a knife or oil.

He picked up the noodles with chopsticks and put them in the bowl, then picked up a few shrimps and crab legs, and finally took a bite at Bai Lu's urging.

Yes, that’s the taste, Chef So-so’s fresh shrimp and fish noodles.

However, this was his first time eating seafood noodles with shrimp and fish. For a moment he felt a little dazed, as if he was dreaming.

"How does it taste?" Bai Lu opened his big, sparkling eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Yeah, delicious!" Zhang Wen nodded heavily.

The noodles are still the same noodles, but the shrimps and crab legs are big, how can it not be delicious?

Bai Lu smiled happily, "Well, I didn't lie to you, don't underestimate me, I'm a good cook." After saying that, he added a chopstick of noodles and started eating them one by one.

Yes, just eat them one by one.

Zhang Wen was completely stunned. Is this how you can eat instant noodles? Is he planning to eat it from noon to night?

Although she looks very ladylike, she always gives people the feeling that she has mental problems.

Is it obsessive-compulsive disorder?

He glanced at Bai Lu worriedly, and after confirming that there were no negative personality derivatives, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and lowered his head to continue eating noodles.

"Teacher Zhang, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you." Bai Lu asked while eating.

Since I also need to consult Teacher Zhang in the afternoon, I naturally have to take care of dinner.

Moreover, after being praised like that just now, she was very happy and wanted to show off her skills to the other party again.

"What else can you do?" Zhang Wen asked while peeling the shrimp. When he saw the shrimp thread that had not been removed, his whole body was about to break apart.

At this moment, he knew that he shouldn't have too high expectations of Bai Lu.

"I know a lot, steamed shrimp, steamed crab, steamed abalone, as well as scrambled eggs with tomatoes, scrambled eggs with leeks, scrambled eggs with green peppers, scrambled eggs with cucumbers..." Bai Lu directly listed the names of the dishes.

"..."

Zhang Wen was stunned by what he heard.

It turns out that the other party can only cook some seafood that can be eaten directly after steaming and various scrambled eggs, and nothing else?

"Let's have some braised pork elbow." Zhang Wen said.

The pork elbows in the pork elbow rice in the company cafeteria are cooked using the red braising method.

"Uh……"

Bai Lu, who was originally talking non-stop, suddenly got stuck. He blinked and spoke after a long pause: "I don't know how to do this."

"Braised pork is fine too." Zhang Wen said.

He has been eating light food since he was a child, such as stewed cabbage and stir-fried cabbage. It’s not that he likes to eat them, but he has no money. So when he grows up, as long as he has the opportunity and conditions, he will choose some dishes that are oily, salty, sweet and spicy.

"will not."

"Boiled fish?"

"will not."

"Beijing Sauce Shredded Pork Club, right?"

"..."

Bai Lu didn't say anything, but the smile on his face was long gone. His previous pride and confidence disappeared without a trace, replaced by a face full of depression.

After seeing this, Zhang Wen swallowed all the dishes he wanted to eat.

"Forget it, just do it yourself."

After saying that, he lowered his head and ate noodles.

As the saying goes: You should be grateful to those who help you.

Since you have already eaten someone else's seafood noodles, it is better not to provoke them anymore.

Bai Lu ate a few instant noodles, and finally put down his chopsticks in frustration, staring at the man opposite him with his eyes fixed, as if there were flames burning in his eyes.

She had good intentions and wanted to reward the other person, but he ended up provoking her by mentioning so many difficult dishes. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to discourage her?

"Why don't you eat anymore?" Zhang Wen asked, thinking: Is he trying to lose weight?

But even if you want to lose weight, you don’t need to eat a few instant noodles for one meal, right?
"I've made you angry enough." Bai Lu said unhappily.

Zhang Wen looked so embarrassed that he was too embarrassed to eat the crab legs in his hand.

"Didn't you ask me what I wanted to eat?"

"But you can't just pick on the hard ones, right? Even the chefs in the restaurant might not be able to make these dishes well. Aren't you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

When Bai Lu finished speaking, his face was full of grievance and his eyes even turned red.

She had never cooked for anyone before, and today was her first time. She had been repeatedly criticized. How could she feel good about it? Zhang Wen looked at the crab meat in her hand, not knowing whether to eat it or not.

He didn't say anything, so why did the woman start crying? If you didn't know, you would think he had done something unforgivable.

Isn’t it just that you don’t know how to do it?
As for?
"Well, I really don't mean to embarrass you." Zhang Wen explained and said, "How about this, to thank you for making seafood noodles, I'll show you my cooking skills for dinner. How about that?"

"You can cook too?" Bai Lu looked at the man opposite suspiciously.

"Well, I know a little bit, but a little worse than you." Zhang Wen said.

Bai Lu felt much more comfortable when he heard what the man said, and whispered, "That's about right."

Then continue to eat noodles one by one.

Zhang Wen finished his lunch quickly, then edited the ingredients needed for dinner and sent them to Bai Lu, asking him to prepare them.

Bai Lu took a look and frowned slightly. There were so many ingredients, beef, pork tenderloin, and fish. Was he really only good at cooking a little?
Are you planning to make braised beef noodles, spicy and sour pork noodles, or fish noodles?
possible!
Bai Lu didn't think much about it and directly copied and pasted the content to his assistant, asking him to purchase the ingredients and deliver them to the villa.

in the afternoon.

Zhang Wen continued to explain the script to Bai Lu.

Since the water content was not well controlled, I finished speaking about what Director Han Xiaohua had analyzed in advance.

He had no choice but to express his understanding of the script, but he was not worried about being refuted by Bai Lu, because he was the author after all.

In terms of reading comprehension, the author's understanding is the correct answer.

Of course, as a person who has received higher education, his analysis of the script is not nonsense. All his analysis is based on reason and evidence, and only such analysis can be convincing.

What he said to Bai Lu now was actually prepared to deal with Director Han Xiaohua. Would he dare to fool around with such a big director?
dare not!

He also hopes to work with Director Han more in the future.

4 o'clock.

Assistant Zhao Linlin walked into the villa carrying bags.

When Zhang Wen saw this, he immediately stopped discussing with Bai Lu, took the bag from Zhao Linlin and walked into the kitchen.

Bai Lu did not follow, but continued to take notes on the script with a pen, writing down everything that Teacher Zhang had just said. These were of great help to her in understanding the story and the characters.

She has staked her future on this drama, so she cannot afford to make any mistakes.

"Clang clang clang!"

"Zizzi"

Although there was a door between them, the sound still came from the kitchen.

Bai Lu unconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen. The noise didn't seem to be as simple as making noodles.

"Ding dong, ding dong!"

The doorbell suddenly rang outside the door.

Bai Lu walked towards the door in confusion, and when he saw Sister Yue standing outside, he immediately opened the door.

"Sister Yue, why are you here?"

Gao Yue looked at Bai Lu strangely and said, "Didn't you ask me to go with you to buy some gifts for Director Han's wife at 6 o'clock tonight? It's 5:35 now. Is there any problem?"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then he put his hand on his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Oh, Sister Yue, look at my memory. I actually forgot such an important thing."

"Forgot?" Gao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.

"I was so busy that I forgot, but it doesn't matter. It's still early. By the way, Sister Yue, have you eaten? Let's eat together." Bai Lu said as he pulled Sister Yue into the house.

Gao Yue was slightly stunned when she heard the sound coming from the kitchen. Then she looked at Bai Lu and asked, "Linlin is cooking? I've never eaten her cooking before. It's a good opportunity to try it."

Bai Lu was about to explain when the sliding door of the kitchen opened from the inside and Zhang Wen came out carrying a plate of braised beef.

"It's time to eat!"

"???"

Gao Yue's whole body trembled and he froze in place.

Looking at the man in the pink apron, her eyes were full of surprise. Then she looked at the plate in his hand, and the shock in her heart was beyond words.

"Are you...living?" Gao Yue asked stutteringly, not only his voice was trembling, but his clenched hands were also shaking.

A man came out of the kitchen of a woman's house, wearing an apron and carrying prepared dishes. She couldn't think of any other explanation except that they were living together.

As soon as Bai Lu heard it, he knew that Sister Yue had misunderstood.

Although she has always wanted Sister Yue to recognize her feelings, this misunderstanding is too big and she has to explain.

"Sister Yue, you misunderstood. I invited Teacher Zhang to discuss the script today. I cooked lunch for him, and he said he wanted to show off his skills tonight, so...if you don't believe me, ask Linlin. She just left."

"..."

Gao Yue didn't say anything. She fixed her eyes on Bai Lu. He looked like he had just woken up in his pajamas.

But she didn't believe that anything really happened between her and that man.

She didn't know the man, but she knew Bai Lu. Bai Lu was not suitable for casual girls, and it was impossible for him to be brought home to live with her so soon.

Thinking of this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then walked towards the restaurant, looked at the man and said, "I haven't eaten yet, so I can just try your cooking."

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "It's best not to taste it."

Gao Yue paused and asked with a stiff expression, "Why?"

"I'm afraid that after you taste it, you'll fall in love with me..."

"what?"

"Your craftsmanship." Zhang Wen said and walked into the kitchen again.

"So confident?" Gao Yue sat down, looked at the man's busy back and said, "I want to see how good you are."

With a "sizzling" sound, the aroma immediately spread from the kitchen to the dining room.

Zhang Wen came out holding a bowl of soup.

"Boiled fish in salt and pepper!"

"Oh my god!" Bai Lu was stunned. "You can cook this dish too?"

She felt cheated.

The other party clearly said that he was a little worse than her.

"Beijing-style shredded pork with soy sauce."

"Braised pork elbow."

“Crayfish in garlic sauce.”

"Fried crabs in the typhoon shelter."

Zhang Wen looked at the table full of dishes and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

It wasn't that he was deliberately showing off his skills, but he finally got a chance to cook. He could make whatever he wanted, and someone was paying for the ingredients. How could he let it go?

If he had enough time, he would have liked to cook a few more dishes to reward himself. After all, analyzing the script for Bai Lu today had consumed a lot of his saliva and brain cells, which he had to make up for.

This time, not only Bai Lu, but even Gao Yue was stunned. They knew that this man was a teacher at the Art Examination Training Center, but those who didn't know him would think he was a teacher at New Oriental Cooking School.

"With so much hard food, we must drink something. I'll go get some beer!"

Bai Lu went into the kitchen.

Today, I won’t lose weight!
