"Feifei, it’s time to eat."

Xiaoxiao rushed back without taking a breath and quickly placed the tightly wrapped food bag onto the small table.

Liu Feifei, who had been watching a script in boredom while waiting, hoping to prepare for the afternoon’s scene, perked up upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s voice.

She snapped back to reality and quickly raised her head, "Oh, Xiaoxiao, you’re back."

"Just leave it there, thank you for your hard work."

With that, she casually placed the script aside and suggested, "Shall we eat together?"

"No need, Feifei, I bought a three-in-one marinated dish rice."

Xiaoxiao didn’t feel flattered, as Liu Feifei was very kind and always shared good food with her.

As she deftly took out the packed boxes containing various dishes from the food bag and placed them in front of Liu Feifei, she said, "Here’s your requested single serving of Dongpo Pork, braised prawns, half a roast duck, a meaty Shredded Eel in Garlic Sauce, and white rice. They’re still warm!

"Oh, and there’s a cup of mung bean milk that’s still chilled. Wait till it’s not so cold before drinking it!"

With that, she opened the lids of the packed boxes one by one.

Liu Feifei looked over expectantly and saw slices of maroon-colored roast duck neatly lying in the packed box. Just from the maroon skin, one could tell how crispy the roast duck’s skin would be. The meat on the side looked firm, fatty, and tender without being dry. The overall maroon color perfectly matched the name "roast duck."

It looked so tempting!

Liu Feifei couldn’t wait any longer and instructed, "Alright, I’ll do it myself! You don’t need to fuss about, just go ahead and eat your meal as well!"

Xiaoxiao nodded, saying that she would clean up later, and then walked away.

She went to the side and started eating her meal.

Seeing this, Liu Feifei couldn’t resist picking up a slice of roast duck meat, dipping it in some sweet sauce, and putting it in her mouth.

The sweet sauce perfectly enveloped the slice of roast duck meat, with the skin being sweet and crispy while the inside remained fatty, tender, and juicy. The marinated flavor made sure the taste lingered in her mouth without diminishing upon chewing.

Her taste buds, which hadn’t savored roast duck for a while, were delighted once more.

Without a doubt!

One bite was pure enjoyment!

Fragrant but not greasy, with distinct layers, crispy and juicy, absolutely irresistible~

Even better than the old-established Quanjude’s roast duck!

She couldn’t help but take another bite of the roast duck meat, mixing it with a bite of rice. The sticky white rice even absorbed some of the duck’s sweet and salty flavor, making it exceptionally delicious.

To be honest!

She had also tried dishes from many small restaurants before, but their flavors tended to be heavy, and the ingredients weren’t fresh.

This time, though, the dishes from Delicious Restaurant completely changed her impression of small eateries and matched perfectly with the raving online reviews.

It didn’t disappoint her expectations!

After a couple of bites, she reached her chopsticks toward another packed box on the side table, picking up the single, bright red, gem-like, steaming square piece of Dongpo Pork.

She took a bite.

It was tender and whole, with the fat and lean meat perfectly integrated, soft and non-greasy, carrying a fragrance of wine—truly delicious.

Having spent the morning filming, which had drained her energy and strength, Liu Feifei now found herself hungry and even more enthusiastic about the delicious meat and rice.

Even the fatigue from filming seemed to unknowingly dissipate...

Xiaoxiao, seated nearby, was also enjoying her meal immensely.

She had even more admiration for Feifei’s discerning eye for discovering good food.

This seemingly ordinary three-in-one marinated dish rice had reached such a high level of deliciousness.

No wonder every time she refreshed her social media, there were countless genuine praises from strangers.

Even as she relished in the meal, she couldn’t help wanting to post a tasting review of Delicious Restaurant’s dishes on social media, along with some praises.

This three-in-one marinated dish rice was incredibly tasty!

The pig trotter was covered with gelatinous layers, and the lean meat practically turned into shreds. The sauce was flavorful, making even the rice underneath taste better.

As for the chicken leg, the caramel color shimmered with an oily sheen, and it was very tender, with juices even oozing with each bite.

After a few bites, Xiaoxiao felt a bit dry, recalled there was a bowl of nourishing fish soup, and hurriedly opened it.

Yesterday, she saw many online reviews praising the nourishing fish soup from Delicious Restaurant, claiming it was exceptionally fresh and delicious.

The marinated pig trotter and chicken leg raised her expectations, and now she looked forward to the nourishing fish soup as well.

She gently scooped a spoonful from the soup bowl with the disposable spoon and caught a sizable piece of fish, taking a taste.

The next moment...

Her eyes lit up with delight.

The fish soup was indeed exceptionally fresh.

It wasn’t due to excessive MSG or chicken essence, but the pure taste from the fish itself.

The fish was fresh, tender, and juicy, without any fishiness.

Each piece of fish was as thin as a cicada’s wing, melting away with just a gentle bite.

The texture was amazing!

Not a single fish bone was found.

Such fresh and delicious fish soup, combined with the fish, tasted absolutely fantastic!

With an excited expression, Xiaoxiao looked up and said, "Feifei, this fish soup is really good. Want to try some?"

"Sure, I’ll give it a taste."

Having previously done some research on Delicious Restaurant’s dishes, Liu Feifei knew they were renowned for their tasty soup.

Upon Xiaoxiao’s suggestion, she didn’t hesitate to scoop a spoonful and taste it.

As soon as it touched her lips, her pretty eyes sparkled.

Que Clan really made something fresh!

Though she had ordered the mung bean milk, she hadn’t ordered the nourishing fish soup. Now, after drinking it, she found herself intrigued by its taste.

It’s a pity...

She didn’t order!

This made her feel like she missed out on a fortune!

Oh, got it!

She smiled and suggested again, "Xiaoxiao, I still have a lot of food here. I can’t finish it all by myself. Why don’t you come over and we eat together?"

Xiaoxiao, whose appetite had been whetted by the delicious food, naturally wanted to try more of Delicious Restaurant’s cuisine.

And Liu Feifei’s suggestion hit right at what she wanted.

She nodded in agreement.

Liu Feifei and Xiaoxiao were eating happily, but Li Qiongzhi and her assistant, sitting a few meters away, weren’t enjoying their meal as much.

Well, to be precise.

It was Li Qiongzhi who wasn’t enjoying it much.

She, though her acting skills are indeed excellent and she chooses her scripts well, receiving many awards for the shows she acts in.

Over the years, she has been a regular at major film festivals and has won numerous prestigious awards.

But as a person, she is incredibly picky about food.

Combined with maintaining her figure for years, she has always eaten a vegetarian diet, and it’s always boiled.

This has resulted in her being too skinny, and with a slight case of anorexia, her health isn’t ideal.

The company, concerned for her health, has put a lot of effort into it.

They’ve assigned her a dedicated chef.

Wherever she goes to shoot, she brings her personal chef along, who prepares three meals a day in the hotel, which the assistant then delivers to her.

But the things she likes to eat are just a few, and she doesn’t eat much.

Her assistant was enjoying the takeout happily, while Li Qiongzhi, as usual, ate the food prepared by her personal chef with a bland face. After eating about half, she closed the lid of the thermal box, saying to her assistant, "I’m done, Chengzi, you eat slowly."

"Okay, Qiongzhi, do you want to take a walk to stretch your legs, or just lay down and rest for a while?"

Chengzi quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, glancing at the thermal box on the table, without thinking, he knew that there must be quite a bit of food left there!

Alas!

For her dear Qiongzhi, eating is just a survival necessity!

Alas!

Hopefully, by the end of filming this movie, Qiongzhi’s weight doesn’t drop again.

Li Qiongzhi paused and said, "You keep eating, I’ll take a walk myself!"

With that, he got up and strolled slowly, thinking about the scene from this morning, wondering what the problem was with the original footage that needed reshooting?

Also contemplating the upcoming scene, how to perform it to achieve the best possible outcome.

As she was walking.

She suddenly smelled an enticing aroma.

Curiously, she looked up...

and saw Liu Feifei and her assistant each sitting at the table, enjoying their meal.

Although Li Qiongzhi and Liu Feifei were part of the same crew, until now, they hadn’t had any scenes together.

So there was very little interaction between them.

But Li Qiongzhi had heard a little about Liu Feifei.

She had heard that Liu Feifei loves food and seeks out local delicacies wherever she goes, especially on the first day in a new place, she has to taste local cuisine.

During filming, she would also line up what she wanted to eat in order, trying different local delicacies every meal.

These things are well-known in the industry, and her fans know it too, calling her "Foodie Fei" or "Fei the Foodie".

Seeing that even though the aroma was rich and enticing, and it had been a long time since Li Qiongzhi felt the temptation of good food, her strong reasoning still forced her to avert her gaze quickly.

She couldn’t keep looking, nor smelling anymore. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to hold back!

Honestly, she didn’t want to stay; she wanted to leave, but her legs wouldn’t listen to her brain...

At this point, Liu Feifei sensed that someone had stopped by as she walked past. Feeling pleasant, she looked up and saw Li Qiongzhi.

Their eyes met!

Just as Liu Feifei was wondering whether to greet her, Li Qiongzhi casually asked, "Feifei, you’re eating?"

This made Liu Feifei feel particularly flattered.

Previously on set, whenever she encountered Li Qiongzhi, the other always relied on her seniority as a veteran actor and a triple crown winner, never really acknowledged her as a top-tier celebrity, usually only offering a polite nod, never actively greeting or chatting with her.

Now, she actually took the initiative to greet her.

How could she not feel flattered?

After a few seconds of surprise, Liu Feifei gave a faint smile, "Yes, we’re eating! Qiongzhi, have you eaten?"

"Yes, I’ve eaten, just taking a walk." Li Qiongzhi nodded.

With that, she didn’t linger any longer and walked straight ahead.

After all, she couldn’t let anyone see that she was yearning for someone else’s food...

Otherwise, where would she put her face?

Liu Feifei watched Li Qiongzhi’s figure, sighing regretfully, "Ah, Qiongzhi can’t experience the joy of tasting delicious food."

Li Qiongzhi’s picky eating habits are well-known in the industry, and even in the earlier years, many people tried to cultivate relationships by inviting her to taste delicious food with them, but they were all turned down!

One could only say these people were barking up the wrong tree.

Inviting someone with picky tastes and slight anorexia to taste food, it might just make her throw up...

Xiaoxiao nodded, agreeing with her statement.

After eating, Xiaoxiao tidied up the remnants, while Liu Feifei sat resting in the chair for a while; she had a scene with Wen Yanqing in the afternoon. Acting opposite to the top actor, she felt a lot of pressure.

Of course, she already memorized her lines well.

Hopefully, during the scene, she won’t get overshadowed by him!
