Chapter 449: A Breakthrough in the Cold War, Shi Shi Is Confused
Yunhua Mansion, Kitchen
Wei Yang personally took a frying pan and fried the beef cubes. When it was about half cooked, he put in the ingredients such as king oyster mushrooms, kale, garlic and other ingredients that were fried earlier. He kept stirring the pot without a shovel and pouring water from time to time. Add some water starch and you will see that it is Lao Liyuan’s craftsmanship.
Zhao Liying is considered a guest today. There is a nanny and various relatives here. She does not need to cook, but just watches the fun.
When Wei Yang was ready, she was the first to let her taste the food. Zhao Liying picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and chewed it, her face slightly wrinkled.
"raw!"
Wei Yang: "..."
It's embarrassing. I just learned this little trick and wanted to show off to Zhao Liying, but I didn't expect that I was inexperienced and overturned.
"Ahem, people like this tender food, but my aunt and uncle may not be used to it. I'll come back to the pot again."
Wei Yang forcibly regained his respect and started the operation again. Zhao Liying watched carefully from the side.
I have to say whether the food is delicious or not is put inside. This operation is still handsome and unrestrained. It is not difficult, but it seems to be very operational and can fool laymen and cooking novices. She plans to learn it and go back to show or film. Video show one show.
Nowadays, Xiao Zhao's character as a foodie and good at cooking has become more and more stable, and even she herself has developed in this direction.
When I see something delicious, I want to learn it and try it. I prefer to cook by myself when I am not busy, as a way to reward and relax myself.
Driven by this "hard work and dedicated study", Zhao Liying's cooking skills continue to improve.
Now he is not inferior to Wei Yang who has not cooked all year round, and some of his specialty dishes are even worse than Wei Yang.
Therefore, Wei Yang basically served home-cooked dishes at Liu Shishi's place. He had to cook some difficult dishes in front of Xiao Zhao, otherwise he would not be able to keep the crowd down.
Speaking of which, Xiao Zhao can still be regarded as his half-disciple. He taught him his cooking skills in the early days. He cannot lose his reputation as a master...
After returning to the pot and cooking the food, Wei Yang took a bite to make sure it was fine, and presented it to the old lady as a treasure.
Not to mention, the old lady was deaf and blinded in her eighties, but her teeth and appetite were good, and she could eat and drink. She only drank a bowl of thin rice based on Wei Yang's cooking.
"Grandma, is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. Can my grandson's food not be delicious?"
The old lady kept laughing today and complained that Grandpa Wei Yang was not coming. She kept nagging: "I will never have a happy life!"
The old lady could say this, Wang Yunping, the daughter-in-law, could mutter a few words, but Wei Yang, the younger generation, did not dare to accept the words. He accompanied the old lady and chatted with several elders about recent affairs, and then inquired about the accommodation arrangements for the night.
Yunhua Mansion has three floors above and below ground, with many rooms, but some rooms are for fixed use and cannot be used as guest rooms.
For example, the residences of Wei Yang and Zhao Liying and the place where the aunt's family usually lives are not allowed to be tampered with even if they don't live here. The rooms of the nanny, housekeeper and security guard must also be excluded.
It's okay to squeeze in more than half of the remaining rooms, but there's no need to be so shabby.
What Wei Yang means is that several elders live at home, and the children are arranged to live in a nearby hotel. He sends people to take care of and manage them, pick them up and drop them off in the car, and provide a one-stop service for eating, drinking and having fun.
This arrangement gave these juniors a lot of freedom and won unanimous praise from them.
It also relieved a lot of pressure on the family. Otherwise, it would be difficult to look after a group of children just by relying on the nanny and Wang Yunping.
Although the elders thought it was a bit wasteful and too troublesome, guests did as they pleased, and since Wei Yang had a different status now, everyone was instinctively willing to listen to his orders.
That night, Wei Yang did not stay in Yunhua Mansion.
My mother, Wang Yunping, was in a state of panic today. She gathered a lot of reinforcements, urging marriage and grandchildren. Cousins from every family who got married early and had children were all pulled out to be "positive" typical".
No matter how domineering Wei Yang is, he can't act like a big boss in front of these elders who care about him.
So the final result was that Boss Wei fled. Even Xiao Zhao, who liked hearing these topics, couldn't bear it and ran away.
There is no way, these old women who are basically from rural areas, when they talk about getting married and having children, the scale is too big.
Even though Zhao Liying thought she was not an ordinary person and was well-informed, she still blushed and felt her heart pounding, and she still had some lingering fears on the way home.
"Your aunt looks gentle and gentle, but she speaks so... toughly."
Zhao Liying was puzzled, and Wei Yang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I also listened to what my mother said. Although my aunt is kind and friendly, she held the wedding with my cousin when she got married. She is a veteran in this field."
Zhao Liying: "..."
Wei Yang's cousins are all married. Even if they were young when they got married, they must have been born in the early to mid-1990s. At that time, in Lunan, where the atmosphere was conservative, marrying with a child was not an ordinary ruthless person.
"No wonder grandma told you to be careful, maybe your aunt was frightened."
Wei Yang: "..."
Not to mention, she really got her involved. That was just a few years after the crackdown, so the family must have been frightened.
However, Wei Yang didn't talk much about this topic, so as not to be taken advantage of and teach him a lesson.
Fan Xiaopang almost turned a blind eye to Wei Yang's philandering, and at most made some jokes and taunts. Liu Shishi's strategy was to pretend not to know, and only Xiao Zhao would find opportunities to criticize him from time to time.
This is also related to the endorsement of Wang Yunping and his wife behind her. From a family perspective, no one wants Wei Yang's private life to be too chaotic.
We don’t ask for Wei Yang’s philandering personality to change, but we have to warn him not to cross the line and to keep quiet.
Wei Yang is not afraid of Xiao Zhao, but it would be best if he could avoid nagging.
In fact, Xiao Zhao really wants to find out about Liu Shishi’s recent situation, and it would be best to find out how far the two of them have come, but she can’t talk about this topic, so she finally held it in all the way and didn’t say anything.
After sending Zhao Liying home, Wei Yang couldn’t get away. Xiao Zhao made it clear that he had to pay his dues today.
Boss Wei even suspected that Xiao Zhao vaguely guessed that he was trying to ease the relationship with Liu Shishi recently, so he came here to make trouble, and if he didn’t kill Liu Shishi, he would disgust her.
But Wei Yang couldn’t do it!
After staying in Yunhua Mansion for most of the day, he couldn’t leave Xiao Zhao here and turn around to accompany Liu Shishi. He didn’t do that.
Besides, he pretended to be Liu Shishi’s grandson for several days, so he should increase the pulling force appropriately.
So, Wei Yang followed Xiao Zhao home obediently. Not only did he pay his taxes the night before, but he was also forced to stay the next day.
If Zhao Liying hadn't been busy promoting the upcoming "The Journey of Flower", Wei Yang might not have been able to get away.
However, Xiao Zhao was comfortable, and Liu Shishi, who was staying at home, was almost angry to death.
After receiving the news from Wei Yang, she was so angry that she packed up the things in the guest bedroom where Wei Yang was currently living and threw them all out the door.
However, the next day, she was a little less angry, and the scene that Wei Yang didn't come that night made Liu Shishi angry and panicked, and she completely dealt with all the things in the guest bedroom.
When Wei Yang came on the third day, the guest bedroom was no longer sleepable, and the sofa hurt his waist, so he boldly said.
"How about we squeeze in?"
"Pah."
Liu Shishi spat at him, turned around and closed the master bedroom. Wei Yang went forward to try the door, but it was not locked.
Tsk, the rat he asked someone to prepare hasn't been used yet...
However, it turned out that Wei Yang was overthinking.
Although Liu Shishi was a little bit resigned, she didn't let him succeed so easily. She specially prepared a small bamboo board on the bed, and if Wei Yang dared to mess around, she would beat him.
But this method was useless to Wei Yang. They were sleeping on the same bed, let alone a bamboo board, even a mace would be useless.
Liu Shishi was still guarding against a sneak attack in the middle of the night, but who knew that Wei Yang didn't follow martial ethics, pressed the man down with a bamboo board, and then had a strong output.
Liu Shishi was so angry that her face turned red, and she resisted strongly, sweating profusely, and her voice was hoarse...
The next day, Liu Shishi didn't dare to take Wei Yang in anymore, and she cleaned up the guest bedroom again.
At this point, it was no longer an ordinary deception, but the reason why Liu Shishi insisted so much was that they had differences on the issue of molasses.
Liu Shishi could tolerate continuing with Wei Yang, but she couldn't easily calm down and compromise on this issue.
Therefore, the two sides are still deadlocked on this issue, and it is not a simple and easy thing to reconcile completely.
Wei Yang was not in a hurry. The progress was faster than he had imagined. It seemed that Xiao Zhao was very important to Liu Shishi.
Anyway, they had already entered the room once, so why worry about the second and third time?
After a night of fierce fighting, Liu Shishi's attitude was obviously more relaxed, which also made Wei Yang convinced that it was a very feasible way to implement the water service strategy on her.
But this would test his physical strength!
…
"Hu...Hu..."
It was rare to get off work early. After dinner, Wei Yang started doing squats, hip bridges and other exercises in the living room.
It has been a while since he came back from the crew of "Nirvana in Fire". Although Wei Yang is very busy every day, he also does some simple exercises in his free time to move his body.
The most important thing is that he has eaten and drank well during this period, which can be regarded as making up for some of the deficits in the previous period.
He originally had a good physical foundation. Even in the weight loss stage of the crew, in addition to dieting, he actually had a lot of fitness assistance, so although his weight has changed, his muscle shape is still online.
At this time, Wei Yang was wearing shorts and exercising with his upper body naked. His muscles were stretched and bulged with the movements. His body was covered with the smell of sweat and hormones, and he had a handsome face that fascinated thousands of girls.
Liu Shishi, who was watching TV next to him, couldn't help but secretly watch, and then held the cup to drink water to suppress her dry mouth.
Dog man, actually seducing!
Not to mention, this trick is really useful. Boss Wei usually only relies on his face, at most with dressing up, and he is the kind of person who wears bright clothes or has a temperament.
This kind of pure physical temptation is too LOW, and Boss Wei almost never uses it.
But the more this is the case, the more obvious the effect of this trick is when it is used.
After all, the big star + entertainment talent + business tycoon, now like those male models and gigolos, is flirting with each other. Those who understand this contrasting charm understand it.
That is, Liu Shishi had a reason and was holding back her reserve, otherwise she would have pounced on him long ago.
After a while, Liu Shishi, who had drunk several glasses of water, hurried to the toilet.
However, Boss Wei was still a little frustrated. This little girl had eaten too much meat and had resistance. If it were another woman, she would probably tear the yoga mat under his feet...
When Liu Shishi came out again, Wei Yang had almost finished his exercise and was preparing to pack up and wash up.
Liu Shishi looked at him regretfully for a few times, suppressed the desire to ask if he wanted to help rub his back, and turned all his attention to the TV.
The TV was broadcasting a rerun of "Wind in the Wind", which was also the previously mentioned "The Legend of the Desert", and another name was "The Legend of the Stars and Moon".
This TV series starring Nazha, Hu Ge, and Peng Yuyan, produced by Tangren, has a tragic fate.
It was forced to change its name, adjust the schedule, delete, and reshoot many times. It is a great victory to be released. It has dragged down the development of Tangren to a certain extent. It is said that Lao Cai has turned several hairs white due to worry.
However, it is not surprising that the show was criticized. Now the historical nihilism is in full swing.
As a result, this show is so good that the champion Hou Huo Qubing falls in love with a wolf girl of the Xiongnu.
I don’t know if it was brought up by "Eastern Palace". There have been many stories of interracial love in the past two years. Because of the country, race, and family, the lovers are forced to be enemies, and finally stage a tragic love story that is worth singing and crying.
Don’t say it, this tune is indeed liked by many people.
Screenwriters and authors also like to write it. There is too much creative space for conflicts. It is easy to write dozens of episodes of the plot, and it is also easy to write out explosions and highlights.
Tangren did not have such a mentality when making "The Legend of the Desert".
The key is that the official investigation of "Eastern Palace" was not strict, and it was a serious fictional history, so there was no historical nihilism.
But Huo Qubing and the Xiongnu girl were in love, which was another matter.
At this juncture, such a well-known historical figure cannot be touched casually, let alone this kind of adaptation. To put it bluntly, it is just like spreading rumors that the famous anti-Japanese general and the Japanese female spy had a story, which is extremely bad.
The original novel even wrote that Huo Qubing did not die of illness, but hated the power struggle, chose to fake his death with the heroine and live in seclusion in the desert.
I am not complaining about the female author's pattern, but some stories are just outrageous.
Huo Qubing, who was recorded in history as shouting "How can I start a family if the Xiongnu are not destroyed", would choose the so-called "true love first" regardless of the oath he made since childhood to fight against the Xiongnu, the great cause of the rise of the Han Dynasty, the earnest expectations of Emperor Wu of Han, who was as kind to him as the sea, his uncles and aunts who were like fathers and mothers, and countless comrades who shared life and death with him?
Not to mention Huo Qubing himself, even Emperor Wu of Han couldn't hold down his coffin!
So this drama was taken as a typical example, and was cleaned up. In the end, all the characters and backgrounds were replaced before it was barely broadcast.
However, the ratings were extremely poor. After the first broadcast scored 1.4, the ratings of subsequent broadcasts were unsatisfactory, and the average ratings did not even break 1.
Originally highly expected and once regarded as a strong competitor of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", it was pressed to the ground and had almost no room for resistance.
And there are many reasons why it is not popular.
For example, due to stumbling, it was hurriedly broadcast on the star and the publicity was not well prepared; in addition, the plot was boring and there were many logical errors; and a large number of key personnel of Tangren left, resulting in a serious decline in costumes, lighting, photography, post-production, etc., and were criticized in various ways; and the three leading actors lacked tacit understanding, had no CP feeling, and could not leave an impression on the audience, etc.
In general, "Wind in the Wind" cannot be said to be a flop, but it really didn't make a big splash.
Many people also think that Liu Shishi, the top actress, plays an extremely important role in Tangren. At this stage, even Hu Ge cannot carry Tangren's dramas without Liu Shishi.
This is also part of the reason why Lao Cai was so nervous about Liu Shishi before. Tangren is in a difficult situation now. If she makes any mistakes again, the company will be ready to break up.
Liu Shishi is watching this drama now just to systematically understand what went wrong.
As a result, the more she watched, the more confused she became. She couldn't help but feel fortunate that she listened to Wei Yang's instructions and didn't wade into this muddy water. Otherwise, her fate would not be much better than Hu Ge's.
At the same time, this also made Liu Shishi more disappointed with Tangren.
Since the glory of "Startling by Each Step", Tangren has not used this to expand. On the contrary, except for "Xuanyuan Sword", which is like a last gasp, it can be regarded as a boast. Other projects are relatively mediocre, and even the results are dismal.
The most terrible thing is that Tangren can't retain talents now. All capable managers, behind-the-scenes and creative staff have run away.
It is said that Tangren is conservative and only dares to do small things. It is a family workshop-style operation, but even if it is a family workshop, it can produce high-quality products. It may not keep up with the times, but it may not be eliminated.
But now it is different. The serious loss of talent has made Tangren lose its greatest confidence.
If you can't produce fine products as a family workshop, how can you compete with other companies, let alone future development.
Two years ago, Wei Yang often half-truthfully said that he would invest in and acquire Tangren, and jokingly asked Lao Cai to work for him, but now he says this less and less, and even privately mentioned the plan to let Liu Shishi set up a personal studio.
All of this shows that Tangren's value in Wei Yang's eyes is getting lower and lower.
This also makes Liu Shishi a little confused.
The two best friends who fought side by side are gone. If she leaves Tangren, her old employer, she will really become a lonely person. How can she fight with Zhao Liying and others...
