After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 343 A Love Assassin?

"Tell me more about where there's any point where they can be saved?"

Sheng Hanyu sighed inwardly, preparing to listen to him continue.

Nangong Wang may seem carefree, but he actually started learning this kind of knowledge a long time ago, and he has a number of successful investment cases in practice.

However, in terms of the amount involved, it's basically just a small-scale affair.

However, a dating reality show like "Wilderness Heartbeat" would cost around 200 million yuan, and that's without hiring popular celebrities.

Because of the harsh filming environment, a team of technicians is needed to verify the geological conditions before the guests actually arrive. These are all necessary steps for the safe filming of this type of program.

There's also the setup of various emergency medical equipment, etc...

Anyway, the money is spent on things that can't be seen, so it's no wonder that the production team is struggling to make ends meet.

This is why, despite the seemingly absurd and dangerous environment, nothing has actually happened and they have been able to broadcast normally.

"Because aside from creating buzz, they didn't actually do anything morally reprehensible, so I think they're at least a partner with some principles. As for me..."

Nangong Wang straightened up slightly and said, "In short, I have plans, and ultimately it's for the sake of my career development. You can trust me."

Seeing his seriousness, Sheng Hanyu had a better idea of ​​what was going on, so she nodded, "I can invest with you, but the problem is I might not have time to participate. They usually only film once a year, right? So the next filming won't be until winter, and my film crew won't finish until at least September."

"The next one might not be in winter. I heard there's an episode this summer, but it does overlap with your filming schedule. It's a bit of a shame, but I can test the waters first, and if there are no problems, we can talk about it again next year."

And it's only early March...

Nangong Wang took out his phone and even pretended to write a memo on his schedule.

"...Isn't it too early for you to say all this? What if I had already..."

Sheng Hanyu didn't continue the conversation; he suddenly felt that the topic shouldn't be continued.

"It doesn't matter, there are still undercover agents and observers..."

Nangong Wang waved his hand, clearly not caring much about the specifics of the operation, nor did he really listen to what the other party was saying.

"There really was an undercover agent. No wonder I always felt like we were playing Werewolf..."

Sheng Hanyu shook her head. "What is this, a love assassin?"

I'm starting to feel sorry for the guests.

"Alright, let's talk about that later. I think they're almost done preparing. I'll go cook for Uncle, you can help me."

Nangong Wang put down his wine glass, grabbed Sheng Hanyu, and left.

So everyone watched a thoroughly enjoyable...tofu-cutting performance.

Nangong Wang said he would bring Sheng Luoxin her favorite dish, and he did bring it.

This dish is called "Nine-Turned Exquisite Soup," which means that after drinking it, you will experience a hundred different flavors and an endless aftertaste.

The production process is also very simple, at least for Nangong Wang.

Because he brought a soup base that had been simmering for a long time... This part was a secret recipe, so he could only use it from home.

This soup base is simmered for a long time and also contains some Chinese medicinal herbs. At first glance, it looks very much like plain water, but it has a rich aroma and a light taste. Moreover, the medicinal herbs also play a role in enhancing the aroma and regulating nutrition.

Add the carved tofu and vegetables to the stewing pot containing the soup base, and then steam it. The steaming time and heat should be adjusted so as not to damage the carved tofu and to keep the soup base from becoming cloudy.

For vegetables, water shield is usually used, but black moss can also be used, depending on the season and region. There's some flexibility in this aspect, but there's no single, definitive version.

The amount of vegetables used is also small, basically just serving as a garnish and should not overshadow the main dish.

As for Nangong Wang's cooking skills... he was actually not very skilled, and his cooking was more of a haphazard stew, but he was very talented in carving.

Fortunately, he doesn't usually cook for himself, and thankfully, no one expects him to pursue a technical career to inherit the family business...

He only knows carving, which is enough for making the Nine-Turned Exquisite Soup.

This is why Sheng Hanyu couldn't replicate the soup base for Sheng Luoxin at home. Firstly, he didn't have the secret recipe, and secondly, his carving skills were only average...

After all, it's difficult for a chef who can do everything to master just one thing...

Fortunately, it was convenient when they were in the capital. If Sheng Luoxin really wanted to drink it, she could just order it from the main branch of Nangong Family Restaurant.

Sheng Hanyu said she came to help, but there was really nothing she could do. She just handed Nangong Wang a dry towel to wipe his hands.

Because this tofu needs to be carved with a knife that's very cold...

Therefore, after holding the knife for a while, Nangong Wang's hands would become damp with condensation, which would affect his movements.

Fortunately, the environment here is relatively dry, with little moisture in the air.

Sheng Hanyu knew that Nangong Wang wanted to show off his skills, so she simply stood aside and helped hand things over.

This experience was quite novel for him... He was the head chef most of the time, with others helping him out.

Nangong Wang finally finished carving and proudly held up the plate for everyone to admire his masterpiece.

Everyone admired and praised the wobbly tofu sculpture, which looked as if it would break at the slightest touch, before he put it into the stewing pot and steamed it.

Sheng Hanyu glanced at the preparations around her.

The ingredients Nangong Wang brought were only enough for the main actors. After all, the four helicopters could only carry so much, and he also brought a team of chefs.

However, he also considered the staff and extras, and a little earlier, ingredients ordered from the city were delivered.

Although this part only uses local ingredients and there are some differences compared to those air-freighted, it still enriches the menu for everyone.

At this moment, the crew's own chefs were already working with Nangong Wang's culinary team to prepare the meals.

"I'm a little sentimental."

Nangong Wang, watching the heat of the steaming soup, suddenly said.

Sheng Hanyu: "Huh?"

"You should know that my dad used to be in charge of making meals for the film crew. For the restaurant, this order didn't make any money at all, but he was always happy and would take time out of his spare time to make the meals and deliver them to everyone."

"Yeah, if it weren't for that, they probably wouldn't have met, right? I know that. So what are you lamenting about?"

"I only found out what he was really happy about back then after I came here today..."

Nangong Wang smiled.

Nangong Fugui had told him many stories about the crew's past when he was a child, and he had longed to join them since then, but...

The entertainment industry he encountered after adulthood was not the same thriving atmosphere he had back then.

Let alone a thriving production, it's rare for a film crew not to have any truly outrageous incidents...

No one cares about the crew's boxed meals anymore; it's good enough if they're not pre-made dishes.

He came to deliver food today on a whim, without expecting any specific reward or gratitude.

But everyone looked happy, and he could tell that they were genuinely relaxed and joyful.

Only with Sheng Hanyu can I feel this way... This production team is truly extraordinary.

"Then come more often in the future."

Sheng Hanyu didn't mind him coming more often; there was good food when he came, which was a great thing.

And Ye Sanqing will probably appreciate today's dishes...
