Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

The bed shook and shook, and I don't know how much time passed.

Li Haoyu said with some doubt, "Yours seems to have gotten a little bigger?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun got out of bed, deliberately puffing out her chest, looking quite proud. "Mine wasn't small to begin with, okay!"

Li Haoyu laughed, a laugh that was hard to tell if it was mockery or teasing. "Small breasts are the way to go! Small breasts are justice! Small breasts are true love! If you really grow up, I might not want you anymore."

Jiang Nansun chuckled after hearing this, "Come on, you men are just hypocrites. When you're nagging about pretty girls on the street, you always use the same excuse."

Jiang Nansun paused for a moment and then said, "My mother once said, 'A thousand pounds of affection is not worth four ounces of breasts.'"

Li Haoyu said, "You only know the 'what' but not the 'why.' Do you know why it's four ounces, and not five, six, seven, or eight ounces? Is there any deeper meaning behind it?"

Jiang Nansun scratched his head; only he could understand such a nonsensical thing. "So why is that?"

Li Haoyu said in a serious tone, "There are two interpretations. One interpretation is that it's about using minimal force to achieve maximum effect."

"Another interpretation is that 'four ounces' refers to the difference in weight; it means that the breast that weighs four ounces has four ounces more flesh than the breast that weighs a thousand pounds of affection..."

After saying that, Li Haoyu stared intently at Jiang Nansun's chest.

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

You stare at me, I stare at you.

The atmosphere inexplicably turned funny. ♙💣 6➈S𝓱у𝔵.𝒸𝑜ⓜ ♦🐟

After a period of stalemate, Jiang Nansun finally gave in to Li Haoyu's shamelessness. She lowered her head shyly, "Haven't you seen enough? Aren't you ashamed!"

Li Haoyu slowly reached out his hand and felt around.

Jiang Nansun turned and glanced at Li Haoyu.

His gaze was strange, like he was looking at a pervert.

…………

The weekend is almost here.

The Jiang family's trap is finally about to begin.

This was Li Haoyu's first visit to Jiang Nansun's ancestral home. The Jiang family's ancestral home is located on Fuxing Road in Shanghai, which was the most upscale residential area in Shanghai decades ago.

The architectural style here is understated yet luxurious.

Neat rows of plane trees grew on the greenery on both sides of the road.

This shows that the people who live here are both rich and powerful.

There's an old saying that it takes at least three generations of effort to cultivate an aristocrat. Grandma Jiang is probably a third-generation rich kid, as she's been very particular about food and clothing since childhood.

This also reflects a very realistic truth.

The type of food you eat often reflects your social class.

Many people only know that rich people are happy.

The happiness of the wealthy is something many people can't even imagine.

Take, for example, a documentary Li Haoyu once watched called "The Billionaire's Feast." The first time he saw it, he was deeply shocked; it opened a whole new world for him. ☜💥 ➅9ѕⒽ𝐮𝓧.𝒸ом 🍓🐧

However, Li Haoyu did not appreciate this behavior of excessively pursuing luxurious food; he only looked at many things out of curiosity.

Even though he now has the financial means to live such a lavish lifestyle, he still dislikes so many flashy but ultimately gullible "delicacies."

For Li Haoyu, Diamond Coffee was unheard of, caviar was not particularly delicious, and premium brandy was just so-so. He still preferred sugary drinks and would add some Lao Gan Ma chili sauce when making fried rice.

As long as you enjoy the food, it's worth it.

There's no such thing as high or low quality food; as long as it tastes good, that's enough.

Li Haoyu brought two bottles of Moutai and two cans of pre-rain Longjing tea with him when he visited. The gifts weren't extravagant, but there was nothing wrong with them either.

After all, this was a family dinner, and the Jiang family especially valued hosting guests. They hadn't been impolite beforehand, and Li Haoyu, who was there, couldn't afford to embarrass Jiang Nansun.

This is also Li Haoyu's principle in handling affairs.

Recalling the scene at the Jiang family banquet, Li Haoyu realized that the original owner's experience was nothing short of catastrophic. Even if the food was delicious, it must have tasted bitter to him.

Unfortunately, the lead actor has changed this time.

He's no longer the pushover he used to be.

Li Haoyu was full of confidence about this meeting, just like how some directors are Ang Lee while others are Guo Jingming.

Li Haoyu squeezed Jiang Nansun's hand, giving her an encouraging look. He whispered, "Don't worry, I've got everything covered. You can take over the stage from here on out."

However, thanks to a heart-to-heart talk with Jiang Nansun and his mother, Li Haoyu was not alone at the dinner party this time.

As soon as Li Haoyu entered, Jiang's mother warmly invited the two of them to sit down. He also behaved very generously and politely, casually presenting the gifts and then greeting Grandma Jiang and the others.

Before Li Haoyu could even settle into his seat, Jiang's father maliciously dug a hole for him, "I heard from Nansun that you don't usually drink?"

Li Haoyu glanced at the table. The main dish was crab, and drinking was inevitable. He said politely, "Uncle, if you're happy and want to drink, I'm the junior, so of course I should keep you company!"

Seeing that his plan hadn't succeeded, Mr. Jiang was somewhat annoyed but didn't dare to show it. "Alright, then let's have a couple of drinks together later."

There were ten dishes on the table.

Besides the main dish, crab, everything else is also a main course.

This also reflects the principle of Huaiyang cuisine: "It needs both appearance and substance."

The cooking principle is to be both affordable and presentable. In addition, the stewed crab meat lion's head meatballs specially added by Grandma Jiang make it a famous dish in Huaiyang cuisine.

This meal was certainly impressive.

The reason there are ten dishes instead of nine or eleven is also significant, symbolizing perfection. Furthermore, each dish must be served on a round plate, further signifying flawlessness.

This is what the Chiang family valued.

Li Haoyu knew who held the most important position at the dinner table.

It wasn't Mr. Jiang, but rather the silent old lady standing to the side. Mrs. Jiang was the true head of the household; her control over the finances determined her position within the family.

In addition, the crab meat lion's head dish was added at Grandma Jiang's request, so he praised it without making a sound.

"This crab meat lion's head is truly authentic. It uses high-quality ingredients and is made with meticulous craftsmanship. It has been stewed for a long time, so it is soft, tender, and fragrant, but not greasy."

Sure enough, after Li Haoyu praised him like that...

Grandma Jiang's face warmed.

She said, "Well, there aren't many people who know their food as well as you do these days. If you like it, eat more. These days, not many people are willing to spend the time to cook this kind of dish properly."

Just as the atmosphere had eased somewhat, Aunt Jia, the Jiang family's nanny, served the dishes on a long platter, only to be scolded by the grandmother.

Li Haoyu quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Haha, it's also my fault for arriving so suddenly. It increased Aunt Jia's workload, which caused her to make a mistake in the rush."

The Gene Era

Grandma Jiang's expression softened, and she stopped cursing.

Aunt Jia quickly went to change the plates, and before leaving, she gave Li Haoyu a grateful look.

By this time, the hot rice wine on the side had cooled down to a warm temperature.

Hairy crabs are considered "cold" in traditional Chinese medicine, while Shaoxing wine is considered "warming." From the perspective of yin and yang balance, they are a perfect match. The rich and mellow aroma of aged Shaoxing wine complements the succulent roe of the hairy crabs, enhancing each other's flavors.

Li Haoyu stopped being polite and began to eat heartily.

They didn't consider themselves outsiders at all.
