Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Although He Meng was indeed not around these few days, it was a pity that the two of them still did not have much chance to interact. This was because Yu Han had already filmed most of her scenes in the production team of “Midsummer’s Time”. The remaining scenes had to be filmed elsewhere.
It was almost time for the production team’s rental of the ecological park. In order not to exceed the usage time, they had been rushing to film for the past few days.
The production team of “Tomorrow” would not be able to end filming in the eco-park so quickly. However, in order to accommodate Yu Han’s time, Director Sun Li also scheduled her remaining scenes in the next few days.
After all, although he was thick-skinned enough to poach an actress from his junior brother’s production team, he also knew that Bai Chao’s funding was tight. It would cost a lot of money to delay it for another day. Hence, he could not continue to be thick-skinned and delay Yu Han’s scenes. It would delay Bai Chao’s production team’s progress.
Both sides were busy with filming, so Yu Han was so busy that she could not even squeeze out time for tuition. Seeing this, Ji Jun naturally could not disturb her and took up her rest time.
It was also because he saw that Yu Han had finished work half an hour early last night and thought that today’s scenes were more important, so he specially called her and wanted to rehearse with her in advance.
Although Yu Han had been a small player for many years, she still lacked experience in filming. Hence, she was a little uncertain about today’s critical scene.
She happened to hear Ji Jun asking her to rehearse together with him. Although she was so tired that she could not open her eyes, she still perked up and followed him into the courtyard next door.
When Lang Yu heard that the two of them were going to act together, he knew that it was serious business, so he did not think that there was anything wrong. He followed behind Yu Han and walked in. When Lin Zi, who was behind him, saw this scene, his eyes darted around. Then, he quickened his pace and went up to put his hand on Lang Yu’s shoulder.
“Speaking of which, how did you make that pork jerky a few days ago? It was too fragrant. I wanted to eat a second piece, but I finished it in an instant. Not only did I not eat enough, but it also aroused my addiction. However, I kept feeling that something was wrong with the taste when I went out to buy it outside. If you don’t mind, why don’t you teach me how to make it?”
He led Lang Yu towards the small kitchen like a little fox abducting a chicken. “There’s no time like the present. Coincidentally, our kitchen has a lot of pork. Let’s get some out to satisfy our cravings first.”
Lang Yu glanced at the time and saw that it was already eleven o’clock. He was a little hesitant. “It’s too late. Why don’t we do it tomorrow?”
He glanced at Yu Han, who was sitting in the courtyard. “Besides, our Hanhan has been very tired these few days. I’m afraid she has to go back and rest. 1 can’t stay here for so long.”
Lin Zi waved his hand nonchalantly. “Aiya, if you ask me, this is what you don’t understand. The two of them are drama fanatics. I’m afraid they won’t be able to stop for an hour or two when they act together. With this time, our pork jerky can be made and put into the oven.”
“Besides, think about it. Isn’t Little Yu done filming tomorrow? Let’s roast more pork jerky tonight. You can take it to the production team tomorrow. When the filming is over, you can take it out and give it to the staff as a wrap scene gift. This can also be considered a form of friendship gift.”
Lin Zi bewitched Lang Yu and said, “The pork jerky you roasted is delicious. Everyone will naturally owe you guys a favor if they eat it happily. And, it’s affordable. You won’t have to spend a lot of money. Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”
When Lang Yu heard this, it made sense. He turned around and looked at Yu Han, who was sitting in the courtyard and acting with Ji Jun. Seeing that the two of them would not end so quickly, he agreed.
“Alright, let’s strike while the iron is hot. Let’s hurry up and do it.”
However, as soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw that there was a large piece of meat inside. He said in surprise, “There’s so much meat. How many meals do you plan to eat with that?”
After saying that, he recalled that there were more than 10 people in Ji Jun’s team, so it was normal to prepare so much meat. However, it was also a huge project to make so much meat into pork jerky. He could only say to Lin Zi, “There’s so much meat. I won’t be able to finish it in an hour or two alone. You have to find someone to help me.”
Lin Zi did not want to go out and be a third wheel for Ji Jun and Yu Han, so he agreed. “Alright, I’ll help you. Tell me what you want me to do. Although my skills arc not good, I can still do the cutting and washing.”
He thought about it and realized that there was indeed a lot of pork, so he called Ji Jun’s assistant, Chen Xiang, to come over. It would be much faster if the three of them worked together..
