Top Chinese entertainment stars start with lucky koi fish

Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi only partially understood what they were hearing.

"Brother, how many dishes did you order? Won't we be able to finish them?" Meng Ziyi asked worriedly.

"There's only one dish and one soup, pork ribs and sauerkraut fish, plus your four dishes, and then a cold dish."

It's roughly six dishes and a soup, but don't worry, I can finish it even if you can't.

Jiang Yuan gestured to himself, showing his height of 1.86 meters.

After the auntie finished writing down the ingredients, she went to the kitchen to have her husband prepare the food.

Li Yitong scrolled through her phone out of boredom: "It feels like there aren't any good TV dramas to watch this May Day holiday. This 'Scarlet Heart 2' is supposed to be a sequel to 'Scarlet Heart,' but it's not good at all."

During the May Day holiday in 2014, there weren't many popular dramas, but Qing Dynasty time-travel dramas were still the most popular.

What is "Scarlet Heart 2"? What is "Palace 4: The Lost Daughter"?

However, the reviews were terrible, especially Yu Zheng's "Palace 3: The Lost Daughter," which was even directly accused of plagiarism by Qiong Yao.

"It's not good. I thought 'Scarlet Heart' was alright when I was in the first year of junior high, but I didn't expect this sequel to be so mediocre." Yang Chaoyue wholeheartedly agreed.

"First year of junior high..."

Li Yitong was somewhat silent; she was already in university in 2011.

"I watched it in high school," Meng Ziyi leaned closer. "I even wrote down the characters from those TV series in a notebook."

"Does Sister Meng really like this TV series?" Yang Chaoyue asked.

"I don't really like it."

Mencius honestly said, "I just like to remember the characters, but when I was a child I really liked 'The Seven Fairies' and bought a lot of fortune-telling rings and bracelets as souvenirs."

Sister Qian also said that I used to like to cover my head and body with sheets and pillowcases, then jump off the bed and imitate the Seven Fairies.

"Who is Sister Qian?" Li Yitong asked in confusion.

"My mom," Meng Ziyi said casually. "I call my mom Sister Qian, and she likes it too, she thinks it makes her feel young."

Yang Chaoyue said with some envy, "Sister Meng, you and your mother have such a good relationship."

"That's very good." Mencius was getting into the conversation.

Seeing that the slow-witted Meng Ziyi was still preparing to tell Yang Chaoyue about the funny stories she had with her mother.

He couldn't help but change the subject: "Did Liu Shishi really fall for Wu Qilong because of this drama?"

"Definitely. When 'Scarlet Heart 2' premiered, didn't the promotion all say that this was Liu Shishi and Nicky Wu's first acting together after officially announcing their relationship?"

Mencius commented, "Otherwise, with a seventeen-year age difference between them, if they weren't acting, how could Liu Shishi possibly be with Wu Qilong?"

"They're seventeen years apart? Is that much?"

Jiang Yuan asked casually, and while stretching her neck, she noticed a girl in a school uniform hesitating outside the door.

"That's such a big difference? That's an exaggeration, isn't it?"

Li Yitong instinctively looked at Jiang Yuan to answer his question.

Then he noticed Jiang Yuan's gaze, and following it, he saw the girl.

The girl was wearing a white and black school uniform. She had a sweet face, bright and clear eyes under her bangs, and long, jet-black hair tied into two braids that hung down in front of her chest.

She was struggling with her decision, seemingly trying to encourage herself.

Would a dog of a man eat this kind of face?

Li Yitong pursed her lips, feeling very unhappy, and she was extremely disdainful of Jiang Yuan's aesthetic sense.

Sweet girls are nothing compared to her mature and charismatic style.

No way, no way, there really aren't adults who like sweet girls, right?

"Sorry to keep you waiting, the spicy rabbit head and the chopped chili fish head are here." At this moment, the aunt came out of the kitchen, speaking in dialect, and began to serve the dishes.

"Houttuynia cordata, shredded potatoes, and spare ribs." The uncle from the kitchen brought over the dishes, put them down, and left.

"The pickled fish will have to wait a bit." The auntie brought over a wooden bucket of rice.

"Okay, Auntie, we're not in a hurry, we're fine with whatever takes our time," Jiang Yuan replied.

The girl outside the door lit up when she heard the familiar southwestern dialect.

Mustering my courage, I walked in and said to the auntie in Sichuan and Chongqing dialect, "Auntie, may I get some hot water from you? I'll pay for it."

"You're too kind, young lady. It's just some hot water, why would you want money?"

The aunt was delighted to hear authentic Sichuan and Chongqing dialect. Although Jiang Yuan also spoke Southwestern Mandarin, his accent and vocabulary were still different.

"Please have a seat, I'll get you a kettle of hot water."

The auntie helped the girl sit at a table nearby and couldn't help but praise her, "You're so cute and pretty!"

"Thank you, Auntie," the girl said sweetly.

Li Yitong couldn't help but ask Jiang Yuan in a low voice, "Where is this language? Is it also from Sichuan?"

"Pretty much, anyway, it's from Sichuan or Chongqing, either Sichuan or Chongqing."

Jiang Yuan took the rice and replied softly, then said to the three girls, "Should I serve you rice, or do you serve yourselves?"

Yang Chaoyue looked at the generous portion of food and shook her head: "Brother, I'll serve myself. With so much food, I probably can't eat much rice."

"I'll wait for the sauerkraut fish to come up so I can have rice porridge," said Li Yitong, a rice porridge enthusiast.

"I'm on a diet recently and I don't eat staple foods," Meng Ziyi shook his head.

"Alright."

Jiang Yuan scooped some rice for herself, then casually picked up some cold-dressed houttuynia cordata and gave it to Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi across from her.

Seeing this, Yang Chaoyue, who was sitting next to Jiang Yuan, quickly picked up the bowl.

Jiang Yuan glanced at the wary Yang Chaoyue with amusement, then said to the other two girls:

"This is a specialty of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. We people in Southwest China love to eat it. You should try it."

"What is this? Is it a cold dish?" Li Yitong picked it up and looked at it.

"I've never seen it before either," Meng Ziyi said, blinking her beautiful, curious eyes.

Short videos are not yet widely used, so Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi had never even heard of Zhe Er Gen (a type of herb), let alone known how to avoid it.

"Zhe'ergen is a cold dish, and it's very delicious."

Jiang Yuan didn't stop speaking, and the Sichuan-Chongqing girl sitting at the table next to Li Yitong could hear her clearly.

As if she had guessed something, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

People are most patient when they are doing bad things.

Jiang Yuan was diagonally opposite the girl, and quickly gave her a knowing look.

The girl lowered her head shyly when she saw Jiang Yuan's handsome and dashing face.

He nodded at the table, indicating that he wouldn't say anything.

This sweet girl from Sichuan and Chongqing is quite sensible; she didn't ruin my important plans.

Jiang Yuan then gave a satisfactory demonstration to Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi, who hadn't noticed these subtle actions:

"Eat like this."

He picked up a large piece of houttuynia cordata with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, chewing it with relish.

The sight of it made Li Yitong and Meng Ziyi's mouths water.

"I'll try it."

Mencius couldn't wait to pick up the houttuynia cordata from her bowl.

Li Yitong went even further, seemingly feeling that the man's offering was too superficial and not fully covered.

Just like Jiang Yuan, she picked up a large piece of houttuynia cordata with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, ready to chew it with relish just like Jiang Yuan.

Yang Chaoyue stared wide-eyed at her two older sisters without moving.

"Pooh……"

The next second, Meng Ziyi spat it back into the bowl, "Why does this thing smell so strongly of dog?"

"vomit."

Li Yitong, who had picked up a lot of houttuynia cordata, chewed it twice and then vomited.

He vomited awkwardly into the trash can next to the table.

"Pooh……"

She vomited frantically, feeling like her mouth wasn't even her own anymore, constantly spitting out saliva.

Li Yitong groped around on her body, as if looking for something.

"Sister, here's some paper."

The girl with bangs sitting at the table next to Li Yitong nervously handed her a tissue.

Although she didn't do the bad thing, she chose to turn a blind eye after being threatened.

She is guilty.

"Thank you." Li Yitong wiped her mouth with a tissue.

She got up and rinsed her mouth with orange juice a few more times before glaring fiercely at Jiang Yuan.

"You bastard, you're not human!"

"But it's really delicious."

Jiang Yuan innocently picked up another piece of houttuynia cordata with her chopsticks and popped it into her mouth.

"You're talking nonsense!"

Li Yitong was so angry she wanted to bite him. If there weren't so many people around, she would have pounced on the dog of a man and bit him.

Yang Chaoyue didn't dare to make a sound, and kept pouring juice for Meng Ziyi.

Meng Ziyi was actually alright; she just tasted it and didn't take a big bite like Li Yitong did and start chewing.

"That's probably because you guys can't handle the taste," Jiang Yuan said regretfully.

"Besides you, is there anyone else here who likes to eat?" Li Yitong sneered.

"Yes, she does." Jiang Yuan pointed to the sweet girl from Sichuan and Chongqing next to her. "She'll definitely like her."

The girl who was pointed at froze, blinked her big eyes, and didn't quite understand.

"Get lost, you don't even know her, how would you know she likes her?" Li Yitong said speechlessly.

"I know him."

"What's her name?"

"Tian Xiwei."

Tian Xiwei: ?

Tian Xiwei: !!!
