"Haha! Lili, why are you almost turning into a black beauty?"
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, He Xin was shocked when he saw Sun Li. Not only was the little girl thinner than before, but her face was so tanned that she looked like a Congolese white girl.
Sun Li said with a depressed look: "It's not like you don't know that the sun in Lijiang is at its strongest right now. When we were filming "Jade Goddess of Mercy", fortunately, many of them were indoor scenes. This time, we were exposed to the sun almost every day.
, why don’t you get a tan?”
"Hey, how was the filming of your scene?"
I have to say that this girl is really lucky. In the past two years, Hairun has signed a lot of potential new stars from China Drama and Nortel, but he always treats her, who comes from a wild background, as the first sister of the company.
She just finished filming "The Big Dyeing Shop" last year, and then she starred in Hai Run's annual drama "A Pair of Embroidered Shoes" this year, and then she is now starring in "One Meter of Sunshine", in which she plays two roles.
It's another drama with a solid heroine.
Today she made a special trip back to Beijing to record "Super Interview" and could only stay for two days.
"The scenes in Lijiang are estimated to take another month, and then we have to go to Canada to shoot the final scenes."
Seeing the tired look on the little girl's face, He Xin consoled her: "After filming this movie, give yourself a big vacation and have a good rest."
"Yes!" The little girl nodded with bright eyes, and then said excitedly: "Brother Xin, I bought a house. I bought a big house with three bedrooms and one living room in Shanghai."
"Okay!" He Xin said a little surprised.
He had been staying in Shanghai some time ago and knew the housing prices there very well. The houses in the city center basically cost over 10,000 yuan. He estimated that the little girl spent all her salary from these movies on it.
Speaking of which, her wish to buy a big house for her mother has now been realized ahead of schedule. In fact, Sun Li is similar to her girlfriend. They both have average family backgrounds, and they took on the important task of supporting the family at a young age. But in comparison,
My girlfriend has an optimistic and cheerful personality. The little girl in front of me prefers to hide her worries in her heart. She always looks cautious and seems to always feel insecure. When she signed the contract with Hairun, she asked for a fixed-salary job.
There is no one but her.
"I'll treat you to dinner at noon to celebrate that your wish has been fulfilled in advance." He Xin said with a smile.
Houses, especially for Shanghainese, are an obsession. From the opening of Shanghai to the present, a shortage of houses and an overabundance of people has always been a persistent problem in this city. The father of the educated youth who congratulated the new family in Shanghai used to have a house.
It is said that four people were crowded into a small house of only eight square meters.
The same is true for Sun Li's family. He Xin had heard her say before that when she was a child, she and her parents, grandparents, and five other people lived in a small house of less than ten square meters.
Later, although the family was allocated a house again, it was still very small. The girl had never had her own room since she was a child. It was not until she signed the contract with Hairun that she finally had a small rented apartment in the capital.
"Okay!" Sun Li said happily, but then immediately said: "We don't want to eat outside, I just want to eat the food you cooked."
"What time is it now? You still have to buy groceries and cook at home. Aren't you hungry?"
"Not hungry!"
The girl smiled and shook her head, took his arm and shook it coquettishly: "Brother Xin, look at me, I've been filming outside for more than half a year, and I haven't had hometown food for a long time. Can you help me cook it?"
He Xin was so entangled by her that he couldn't help it, so he had to agree: "Okay, then you call Sister Hong and tell her, so that she won't have to blame me again."
Although Sister Hong warned him last time, on the one hand, he had a girlfriend and had never thought about it; on the other hand, he had clearly told Sun Li about this last time, but in fact, he was more willing to leave Sun Li alone.
Li treats her as a friend and a little sister. What's more, apart from that little thing, couldn't men and women get along like normal friends?
Sun Li's schedule this time was quite tight. She flew here one day in advance to discuss the script, and then recorded it the next day. After that, she had to fly back to Lijiang to continue filming the same day.
Sister Hong was considerate and agreed to her request. She just reminded them not to let reporters take pictures. After all, the two of them had just become popular and had a bright future. They should be careful not to cause unnecessary trouble. For this reason, Sister Hong went out of her way to
A driver was assigned to pick up and drop off.
"What do you want to eat?"
“Fried shrimps and egg dumplings.”
“Egg dumplings?”
It's easy to say fried shrimps in oil. Now is the season to eat shrimps, especially the river shrimps that Shanghainese usually like the most. At this time of year, the shrimps have seeds. The shrimps fried in oil are especially delicious, and the shrimp seeds are fragrant.
But this egg dumpling is troublesome. It would be very cumbersome to make it freshly.
"Well, it's egg dumplings. I don't know what's going on lately. I always dream about my mother sitting in front of the coal cake stove making egg dumplings during the Chinese New Year when I was a child. She spread out the egg skin and I helped add the meat filling. Especially
I'm so greedy for this. Now I don't have time to go home, so I can only trouble you, Brother Xin!" Sun Li said at the end, holding his arm with a pitiful look.
He Xin could only nod his head and said, "Okay, just these two things?"
"I can't eat more now. Two things are enough."
The driver first drove them to a nearby vegetable market. When he got out of the car wearing a peaked cap, Sun Li actually wanted to follow.
"Okay, little aunt, you better stay in the car. I'll be there soon."
The little girl has just come back, and she may not know how popular "Jade Goddess of Mercy" is when it premieres on Beijing Channel. If the two of them show up at the vegetable market to buy food together, it will definitely be big news. Maybe her girlfriend will have to fight with her again for this.
It's gone, he can't stand this.
He had just returned to the capital not long ago. In the past two days, in addition to dealing with some scripts and trivial matters, he also went to school to register. Although it was almost the end of the semester, he had not shown up in school for the entire semester. This was always uncomfortable.
Great.
In addition, Hao Rong, Li Mengnan, Uncle Gao Qun and others have been helping him in the past two days, and the family has not even had a meal. This time I have been out for such a long time, and Sister Hong has already found someone to clean up the kitchen at home, and it should be thrown away.
He threw away everything. Before he came back, he could only stock up some milk, fruit, bread and other things in the refrigerator.
I walked around the vegetable market and bought a pound of fresh river shrimp with seeds, half a pound of minced meat, two pounds of eggs, a big stick bone, various vegetables and so on.
The driver was an old man from the company, and he took the two of them, who were familiar with each other, in the direction of Tuanjie Lake. When they were about to arrive, Sun Li looked out the window and said in surprise: "Brother Xin, you don't live in a new house?"
"The new house has just been built. Besides, my girlfriend won't be able to live there in a short time. It's more comfortable for me to live alone in the old house." He Xin said with a smile.
Cheng Hao's two current dramas, "The Unparalleled", were filmed at the Shengqiang Film and Television Base where she last filmed "Xiu Cai Tofu", while "Double Boom" will be filmed in Shanghai, Japan and Singapore.
When the two were chatting before, Sun Li had always intentionally or unintentionally avoided the topic of He Xin's girlfriend. At this time, she had to add: "The heartthrob played by Sister Cheng in "Pink Girl" is so beautiful!"
Then he immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Chuan Chuan for a long time. I really miss it."
"Hey, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed this time. Chuan Chuan is at my girlfriend's place in Shanghai."
"Well……"
…
Opening the door and entering the house, the two-bedroom apartment in Tuanjie Lake has not changed much from the last time Sun Li came here. It is still the same.
"You sit down for a while, watch TV, surf the Internet as you like!"
"Brother Xin, let me help you." Sun Li said.
"No, the kitchen here is small. Even two people can't turn around in it. I can do it alone. It will be quick."
"Then I'll help beat the eggs and mix the meat filling outside. When I was in the army, we often had to help in the kitchen, and I can do these things." Sun Li added.
"That's okay."
The little girl insisted on getting together with him, but there was nothing he could do.
Put the meat filling you bought into a big bowl, cut a handful of green onion into it, put some salt, monosodium glutamate, light soy sauce, and cooking wine, then took a pair of chopsticks and handed it to Sun Li along with the bowl of meat filling, along with some
He asked worriedly: "Remember to stir clockwise in one direction."
"I know that. Hey, don't you need to taste the saltiness?"
"How do you taste this raw food? Besides, I know how to make sure it is salty and salty just right. Okay, let's go and mix it."
He drove the little girl out of the kitchen and started working in the kitchen alone.
First put the river shrimp in a basin, add some water and sprinkle a handful of salt into it, and then raise it to kill the bacteria. Take the big stick bone you bought, drain it out of the water, wash it, and stew it in a casserole.
He glanced outside and saw that Sun Li was still mixing the meat filling outside. He couldn't help but smile. He quickly beat seven or eight eggs, and then put some starch water and some into the beaten egg liquid.
oil, stir well, and then shouted outside: "Is the meat filling ready?"
"Okay." Sun Li came in hurriedly after hearing the sound.
"Well, help me find a new brush in the desk drawer in the small room."
"Why do you need a writing brush to make egg dumplings?" Sun Li asked in confusion.
"Go and get it for me. You'll know in a moment."
It is said that there was a period of time when, in his spare time, he wanted to imitate a certain movie star and practice calligraphy to show off.
In the beginning, I was quite prepared with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but I only lasted less than a week. Looking at my calligraphy that looked like chicken feet, I suddenly lost confidence.
To be honest, how many actors in the profession are truly educated? If nothing else, even those actors who came from serious academic courses, just look at the college entrance examination scores of these people when they were admitted to college, you will know
You will know that eight or nine out of ten students must be scumbags.
Therefore, from then on, He Xin made up his mind that no matter how he pretended to be cool in the future, he would never pretend to be an educated person, because it would be too easy to be fooled.
Sun Li quickly brought over a new brush, and then watched curiously as he turned on a small fire on the gas stove, put a stainless steel spoon on the fire, dipped the brush in it and poured it in beforehand.
of oil in the bowl, and brush a thin layer of oil on the spoon.
The little girl suddenly realized: "Ah, that's what you do with the brush! Isn't this a waste of a brush? I remember that when my mother made egg dumplings, she would just use a chopstick with..."
Before she finished speaking, He Xin interrupted: "Put a piece of lard on the chopsticks and rub it into the spoon, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's it." Sun Li said with bright eyes.
"But what should I do if I don't have boiled lard here? I can only use this."
As he spoke, He Xin was seen holding a spoon, scooping half a spoonful of egg liquid into the hot soup spoon. With a dexterous turn of his wrist, the egg liquid instantly formed a round egg skin in the soup spoon.
There was no need for him to speak this time. When the egg skin was about to solidify, Sun Li quickly picked up some meat fillings from her pants and put them on the egg skin. The amount of meat filling was actually quite moderate.
He Xin quickly folded the egg skin in half and pressed it tightly to set the shape of the egg dumplings. At the same time, He Xin glanced at her in surprise.
The corners of Sun Li's mouth turned up and she said with a proud look on her face: "When my mother was making egg dumplings when I was a child, this is how I helped. I have done this kind of work all the time!"
With someone helping him, he made the egg dumplings much faster. After making more than a dozen in a row, he heard Sun Li next to him say in a depressed tone: "Hey, Brother Xin, why can't you always make egg dumplings?"
Bad one?"
"Why are you being bad? You want to eat the egg skin!"
Anyone who has experienced the process of making egg dumplings at home as a child will understand this routine. Once the egg skin is broken, it will naturally enter the belly of the child waiting eagerly next to it.
Sure enough, Sun Li nodded fiercely, and actually swallowed her saliva and said: "When I was a child, I helped just to eat the egg skins. Now that I think about it, it feels very delicious."
"That's right!" He Xin said with a smile, and then he saw the chopsticks in his hand shake deliberately, scratching the egg skin that was about to form in the spoon, and then deliberately pretended to be depressed and said: "If you don't tell me, why don't you say it?"
Well, once you mention it, the egg skin is ruined."
Sun Li raised her head with a smile in her eyes and looked at him expectantly.
He Xin used his chopsticks to pick up the cooked egg skin in the soup spoon, put it danglingly to the girl's mouth, and muttered: "Blow on it, be careful not to burn it!"
Sun Li opened her lips lightly, blew twice, then opened her mouth and was about to bite the egg skin on the chopsticks. In the blink of an eye, the egg skin on her mouth disappeared. When she looked up, she saw that the egg skin had already entered.
It was in someone's mouth and he was chewing it with a look of enjoyment.
"Ah! Brother Xin, you are cheating, no, I want to eat too!" Sun Li suddenly pursed her lips and shook his arm in disbelief.
"Then make another bad one?"
"necessary!"
"What if it's not bad?"
"No, it must be bad..."
The two of them were noisy, passing the bad egg skins one by one. As a result, the egg liquid was used up, but half of the meat filling was left.
Although the big stick bones were stewed in a casserole for a short time, the whitened soup could barely be used as stock.
Put the prepared egg dumplings into the soup. After boiling, add the small meatballs made with the remaining meat filling and the cabbage in turn. Cover and cook over medium heat for five or six minutes, then add the soaked ones.
After simmering the vermicelli for a while, add salt, MSG and white pepper to taste.
Just as He Xin said, he knew it by hand and knew it was salty and light even without tasting it.
Then it is much easier to fry the shrimps in oil. Wash and drain the river shrimps and fry them in the oil pan. Then add the green onion, ginger cooking wine, and some dark soy sauce to absorb the flavor.
A dish and a soup were served on the table, and just as the meal was about to begin, the cell phone rang.
When I saw the name "Sister Hong" displayed on the screen of my mobile phone, I couldn't help but complain to Sun Li, who was happily filling the bowl with soup: "I haven't even eaten this meal, and Sister Hong came to urge her. Maybe she will be old now."
He is already waiting downstairs."
"Really?"
Sun Li was so frightened that she quickly put down the bowl in her hand and ran to the window to look down. She didn't see a car downstairs, so she patted her small breasts and said thankfully: "Master He hasn't come yet.
"
At this time, He Xin had already answered Sister Hong's call and heard him saying in surprise on the phone: "What, Director Gu wants to treat me to dinner?"
