Chapter 6 Favors
At five o'clock in the afternoon, there were people coming and going, including crews and extras who were rushing to play night scenes, and staff who finished filming the afternoon scenes. Chen Fang and Qin Mohan were waiting in the hotel lobby, and from time to time, staff from the crew of "Langya Bang" came to say hello.
"Brother, sister-in-law." Jin Yaran pulled Qin Ruoxi, who was a little absent-minded, and greeted Chen Fang and the others who were waiting in the hall.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
"I'm back. Look at you two sweating. Do you want to go upstairs to change your clothes?" Qin Mohan asked at the two girls.
"No need." Qin Ruoxi quietly pulled her sister aside, pointed to Lin Susu who followed the two of them and said, "She and her brother-in-law had known each other before, and said that her brother-in-law owed her a favor. She could not be her brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend."
"What are you talking nonsense?" Qin Mohan knocked on his sister's head: "Don't talk nonsense. If such words are spread, they will cause misunderstandings."
Although Qin Mohan's sisters' voice was low, Chen Fang could hear it clearly and looked at Lin Susu in surprise. Who is Lin Susu? Chen Fang knew very well that her family was a powerful existence in Chang'an in the past. When Cixi fled to the west, their ancestors helped to receive it. During the Chang'an Incident, her family put in a lot of effort. Even when Taizu was in northern Shaanxi to fight against Japan, Chen Fang really didn't remember what interaction she had with her.
"Hello. I'm Chen Fang." Chen Fang said to Lin Susu and Guan Xiaotong who followed her in: "I didn't expect Xiaotong to film on your crew, otherwise I would have gone to visit the set."
"Haha, do you really don't remember me, or do you pretend in front of Qin Mohan?" Lin Susu looked at him playfully and said, "You owe me a cell phone."
"I owe you a cell phone?" Chen Fang was a little surprised and looked at her with uncertainty and said, "What cell phone? I really don't have an impression."
"Seven years ago, Sanlitun Shark Bar. Do you remember?" Lin Susu looked at him and smiled and said, "If you can't remember, forget it. Today you treat your meal to pay off your debt."
Hearing her reminder, Chen Fang suddenly had an impression: "You said this, it seems that this is true, but I was completely different from now. How did you recognize me?"
"I remember clearly what others owe me." Looking at Chen Fang's puzzled face, Lin Susu smiled and said, "I didn't remember it either. Later, when I went to Jin's hometown with my second grandfather to see your photo, I realized that you were Mr. Jin's grandson, so today I saw Ya and then I remembered this."
Chen Fang looked at the people who were surprised and explained to Qin Mohan with some embarrassment: "This Lin Susu, from Chang'an. When the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Yanjing, my ancestors were embarrassed to run from Yanjing to Chang'an. They lived in his house for a few years, and then the two families became family friends."
"Dao, die Tartar." Lin Susu despised him for a moment, and then said to Qin Mohan: "Mohan, actually, I have wanted to know you for a long time, and I haven't found a chance. Today I happened to take this opportunity to meet you."
"Sister Susu, hello." Qin Mohan was interrupted by Lin Susu according to the rules in the circle: "Just call me Susu directly, and I will just call you Mohan directly. That's great."
"Well, okay." Although Qin Mohan was full of doubts, he saw Chen Fang's expression and knew that some things were not suitable for understanding at the moment. He directly pulled Qin Ruoxi and the others to Lin Susu and said: "These two girls don't understand the rules very well. They ran to your crew to disturb you in filming, causing you trouble."
"It's okay, we just play filming. I like them very much, so I keep them for a while." Lin Susu said to Qin Mohan: "I heard them say you want to take them to have delicious food in the evening, so I will join in the fun and don't blame me."
"How could I do? I don't have a chance to treat you to dinner yet. Today you can enjoy your face and give you even more face." Qin Mohan was polite.
Chen Fang invited everyone to get on the bus. Lin Susu called all the three little girls into her business car with a wink. Except for one driver, the bodyguards and assistants who followed him got on the vehicle driven by Li Hui, and then followed Chen Fang's car to "Linhuju".
"It seems that the relationship is really good. Everyone knows to cover you up." Chen Fang could clearly feel the strong sour smell contained in Qin Mohan's words.
"It's not easy to see you jealous for the first time." Chen Fang said to Qin Mohan while driving: "Her family is in the northwest, just like the Shen family in Shanghai, but they are more low-key. Many outsiders don't know about it, and they all regard her as a female star who is kept."
Qin Mohan couldn't help asking, "Then why didn't she explain it? Isn't it easier for people to misunderstand if they are thrown into dirty water like this?"
"Everyone has his own way of living. She probably doesn't care about these things. According to her attitude, she treats things in the entertainment industry as a play."
"You have known her before? I feel like I have helped you."
Chen Fang shook his head and said, "If it weren't for her mentioning it, I would have forgotten this. When I was in my senior year in 2007, I had no classes, and I often didn't do my job and went to various bars to play. That time, at the Big Shark Bar in Sanlitun, I started fighting with a few drunk guys. At that time, there was no guy in my hand, so she should be sitting next to the stage. I snatched her phone on the table and smashed it over, but I forgot whether it was Nokia or Motorola. It was quite strong anyway, and it smashed the head of the gangster opposite. And that time, I also threw a guitar. Later, Sister Mo, the lead singer of another band in the bar, took a few people to dissuade us."
"No, you can still fight?"
"I was a little depressed at that time, and I had few friends. I sang two songs at the Shark Bar. The gangsters in the audience started to make noises and started fighting without suppressing the fire."
Seeing Qin Mohan's trance, Chen Fang continued: "That was the last game I played in Yanjing. After I broke the guitar, Sister Mo said something that made me deeply remember: If you really like music, you must learn to cherish it and not treat it as a tool. Since then, I have never hurt any musical instrument."
"Wow, it's so beautiful." As soon as the car got off, Lin Susu was attracted by the surrounding environment of the lakeside. She saw a beautiful lake, located in the arms of the jade-like hills. The setting sun shone on the west, and the white clouds in the distance made the sky blue. The birds sing and the flowers on the lakeside were clear, and even the pebbles on the bottom of the water could be seen clearly. The sunshine and breeze brought rippling waves, and the water under the lake was fluttering slowly, and the little fish were happily shuttled between crystal clearness and emerald green, and life was carefree.
Lin Susu looked at Chen Fang and couldn't help but ask, "It's only a dozen kilometers away from Hengdian, so how can such a private restaurant be hidden?"
"This is the residence of a retired elder in Wangjiangtai Hotel. When I have nothing to do, I will change it into a private restaurant. I only make a few tables a day, and I can only book and not accept individual customers." Chen Fang explained to Lin Susu.
"It's so good to ask for water here." Qin Mohan, who had already learned about the incident, did not care about the communication between Chen Fang and Lin Susu. Instead, he looked at the clear water of the lake and took off his shoes and stepped on the pebbles in the lake. He felt the itch caused by the lake water washing his feet. Guan Xiaotong and the three little girls looked happy and followed Qin Mohan to walk forward.
Lin Susu was also very moved, taking off his sandals and holding them in his hands, following them. Chen Fang shook his head and picked up the sandals that Qin Mohan had thrown aside.
Lin Susu saw her upright behavior: "There are many people in the circle who are in love with rich young masters, but not many people like you who spoil Qin Mohan."
Qin Mohan felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, and reached out to snatch his sandals and said to Lin Susu: "Su Su, I just heard Chen Fang say that he threw your phone out as a weapon. We asked him to compensate you, and see if he dares to fight in the future."
Chen Fang also smiled and said to her: "I'd better return the phone I owe you. It's not good to owe someone something. If you want any brand, just talk."
"Really?" Lin Susu looked at Chen Fang and teased: "I'm a limited edition Vertu Constellation Constellation, ceramic button. I bought it for 120,000 yuan back then, but now it's seven years later. I heard from Wang Xiaocong that you have a lot of good wine there, so I'll pay for a bottle of Bourbon that I've had for 70 years. "
"Don't think about it!" Chen Fang said with a smile: "Go back and give you a limited edition version of the Warwick phone endorsed by Mo Han, which is considered an apology."
"You~" Lin Susu pointed at him and asked Qin Mohan: "Is he so naughty?"
"He is playing with you." Qin Mohan took Lin Susu's arm, glared at him, and then said to Lin Susu: "Next time I will bring you two bottles of red wine. Last time I bought a lot of Burgundy red wine in France, some of which are very good in the years. Whiskey is something their men drink, so it's better for us girls to drink some red wine."
"Okay, I've been in Hengdian recently, you can come to me anytime." Lin Susu made a threatening expression at Chen Fang: "Next time we go shopping together, I'll take you to a few old stores, and we'll swipe his card."
"Well, let him know that girls cannot offend them. Let him get some blood." Qin Mohan and Lin Susu shared the same hatred.
Chen Fang looked at the two women walking away and couldn't help but shake his head. The friendship between women was really something he couldn't understand.
"Brother Yan, I'm going to trouble you again today. This is something I found last time I wandered around Panjiayuan. I specially brought it to you today." Chen Fang took the gift box in Cheng Yue's hand, which contained a worn and relatively worn thread-bound book.
Although Yan Shixiang does not collect money from Shenbao, Shenbao never comes empty-handed, sometimes it is ingredients, sometimes it is supplements. This time I brought a set of Zhejiang cuisine classics from the Republic of China period, which I was exploring in the Panjiayuan fresh goods market some time ago. This is more considerate than antique jewelry for Zhan Shixiang, who is the inheritor of Zhejiang cuisine.
"Oh, this is a good thing." Yan Shixiang took it, flipped through a few pages and said to Chen Fang: "This thing is not easy to find, thank you."
Zhejiang cuisine is composed of many special dishes in Zhejiang Province. To this day, it is said that their Zhejiang cuisine is authentic. Yan Shixiang has been doing this exquisite work after retirement. With these classics, it provides a lot of evidence for the true origin of Zhejiang cuisine.
Stewed meat, vinegar fish, white chopped chicken, Shaoxing sauce duck, shrimp oil soaked chicken, pearl civil and military fish, dried vegetables braised meat, these authentic Zhejiang dishes are made in Zhan Shixiang's hands, and are also recognized by Lin Susu.
While fighting with three little girls for a piece of Shaoxing sauce duck, she said to Chen Fang: "I didn't expect the taste here to be so good. Chen Fang, can you help me ask Master Yan if I can arrange someone here to pack it in the future?"
