The screen flashed various trendy cakes and exquisite Western dishes, but those fancy pictures not only failed to whet her appetite, but also made her feel even more empty inside.

The taste of the food she had eaten at Lin Fan's shop a while ago involuntarily came to mind.

That plate of tender, juicy, and comforting minced meat stuffed tofu...

That bowl of pure wheat-scented, amber-colored broth, the Supreme Clear Broth Beef Brisket Noodles...

And that cup of sweet, refreshing, and invigorating Yunwu white tea...

Just thinking about that pure and gentle atmosphere of everyday life made Ye Wanxing swallow hard, feeling a strong longing rising from the back of her tongue.

"Sigh, when will we be able to finish filming and go back to Jiangcheng..." Ye Wanxing pressed her forehead against the cold phone screen and let out a long sigh filled with grievance.

Just then.

"Ding-dong."

Suddenly, a notification popped up at the top of her phone screen from a WeChat group she had set to "pay special attention to".

Several words were clearly displayed at the top of the screen:

[Old Zhang shared pictures in the Linjiapuzi Diners' Chat Group].

Ye Wanxing was slightly taken aback.

Her previously unfocused gaze instantly sharpened, and her finger instinctively swiped across the screen, directly switching to the WeChat interface.

She had finally managed to get Su Xiaoxiao to scan the QR code and join the group when she went to the restaurant to eat.

Because she usually has to film, she sets most of her work groups to "Do Not Disturb," but she makes sure to give strong notifications to this customer group so she can see the latest updates from Lin's Shop at any time.

Upon entering the group chat, a screen full of densely packed unread messages scrolls upwards at an astonishing speed.

Ye Wanxing scrolled up the screen and immediately saw the high-resolution original images that Lao Zhang had posted.

The photos are taken in a very straightforward and down-to-earth manner.

It was a solid, dark green square lunchbox with the lid open and set aside. The inside was clean and dry, without a trace of moisture.

At the bottom of the box, four large, round, white, fluffy pan-fried buns were neatly arranged.

The buns are sprinkled with fragrant black sesame seeds and finely chopped scallions, and the deep golden-yellow crust underneath gleams with an enticing sheen.

It is accompanied by a cup of steaming hot soy milk with a perfectly formed, slightly yellow crust on the surface.

Just looking at this unfiltered, unedited photo made Ye Wanxing's previously calm stomach clench suddenly, and a strong feeling of hunger surged up from her abdomen.

"Gurgle..."

An uncontrollable rumbling sound of the intestines rang out clearly in the quiet RV cabin.

Ye Wanxing sat up abruptly from the sofa, not even bothering to pick up the blanket that had slipped off her and fallen onto the carpet.

She gripped her phone tightly with both hands, her beautiful eyes fixed on the line of text on the screen:

[Takeout and delivery are now available! Our temperature-controlled, fresh-keeping containers will maintain their temperature and prevent the bottom from burning or becoming soggy for up to two hours!]

"They've opened up packaging?!"

The reason Lin Fan couldn't go to her shop before was because she was on a film set hundreds of kilometers away, and it was impossible for her to take time off to go back to Jiangcheng and wait in line for hours just to have a meal.

But now, the situation has completely changed!

I heard from people in the group that the constant temperature packaging box produced by Boss Lin this time can not only lock the scalding temperature in the box, but also keep the most delicate crispy bottom of the pan-fried buns intact!

It won't cool down for two hours, and its base won't soften!

Ye Wanxing's heart suddenly began to race.

She quickly opened her phone's map app and entered the current location of the filming location and the distance to Jiangcheng Phoenix Golden Street.

A dark blue route map immediately appeared on the screen:

Current distance: 285 kilometers. All highways, estimated travel time: 2 hours 50 minutes.

Two hours and fifty minutes.

Ye Wanxing stared at the time, her mind racing.

If you're traveling on a regular provincial highway or on a snowy day, a three-hour journey will definitely reduce the effectiveness of the insulated box.

However, if the best driver in the crew were to drive that high-horsepower minivan, keeping the speed limit and driving on the highway without stopping at any service areas, it would take only two and a half hours to get from Jinjie directly to the crew's camp!

If you then put a professional insulated car cooler over the food container halfway through the journey...

When the box of pan-fried buns was handed to her, the broth inside was still piping hot, and the crispy crust at the bottom was still crunchy!

Thinking of this, every cell in Ye Wanxing's body seemed to be ignited in that instant.

Forget about low-fat salads and boiled chicken breast at this moment.

After enduring half a month of eating cold, hard boxed lunches in the freezing cold, she now felt an almost obsessive craving for a pan-fried bun with piping hot meat juices, crispy and fragrant!

We absolutely have to eat it!

"Click".

Just then, the RV door was pushed open.

Assistant Xiaoyu, wearing a down jacket, walked in carrying a script and two bottles of mineral water.

As soon as she entered, Xiaoyu saw Ye Wanxing walking barefoot on the carpet without even wearing shoes, clutching her phone tightly in her hand, her face flushed with excitement. Xiaoyu was momentarily stunned.

"Wanxing, what's wrong?" Xiaoyu quickly put down the water and went over to pick up the blanket on the ground.

"Why aren't you wearing shoes? The ground is cold. Have you eaten the boiled chicken breast on the table? Sister Hui just reminded me that the main event this afternoon, the wire work in the snow, is particularly physically demanding, so you should eat more protein at noon."

Ye Wanxing turned her head and looked at Xiaoyu, her eyes shining with a frightening intensity.

She grabbed Xiaoyu's wrist, dragged her to the sofa, and shoved the phone screen right in front of Xiaoyu's eyes.

"Xiaoyu, don't mention chicken breast, look at this!"

Xiaoyu was completely bewildered by Ye Wanxing's unusually anxious demeanor and looked down at her phone screen.

On the screen were several high-definition close-up photos of pan-fried buns and soy milk posted by Lao Zhang in the Linjiapuzi customer group, with several lively discussions from group members below.

"Pan-fried buns?" Xiaoyu blinked, a little confused. "Sister Wanxing, don't you usually avoid staple foods to maintain your waistline? Why are you eyeing pan-fried buns?"

"This isn't an ordinary steamed bun!"

Ye Wanxing spoke with absolute certainty, pointing to the restaurant name on the screen: "This is a new product from Boss Lin's restaurant on Jiangcheng Golden Street! It's that amazing restaurant I've mentioned to you countless times before!"

Xiaoyu's expression changed when she heard the words "Boss Lin".

As Ye Wanxing's personal assistant, she naturally knew how much her artist admired that mysterious little shop in Jiangcheng.

When Ye Wanxing returned from her audition in Jiangcheng last time, she looked as radiant as if she had undergone a top-tier cosmetic procedure costing hundreds of thousands of yuan. She was glowing with health and vitality. At the time, she kept talking about how amazing the skills of that shop were.

"But... Sister Wanxing, we're filming in the mountains hundreds of kilometers away right now."

Xiaoyu scratched her head in a bit of a predicament. "Even if Boss Lin's pan-fried buns are delicious, we can't afford them now."

"The crew is so strict every day, you can't exactly take leave to go back to Jiangcheng to eat, can you? Sister Hui and the director definitely won't agree."

"Who said I was going to take leave and go back?"

Ye Wanxing's lips curled into a confident smile as she pointed to the group chat announcement on her phone and showed it to Xiaoyu:
