The genius villain's mother is going crazy in the kid's variety show by relying on food

Chapter 116 This surname seems familiar
After a two-week overseas business trip, the plane landed and I stepped on Chinese territory...

Zhu Jin seemed to come back to life!

"I really still have a Chinese stomach. I can't wait to have a feast!"

"That's not something a great gourmet should say."

A slightly hoarse voice with a chuckle sounded.

A woman in her 60s, wearing a loose windbreaker and sunglasses, but still looking very graceful, walked out from behind the chubby Zhu Jin.

She is Zhong Yu, China's top documentary director. The film "A Bite of China" directed by her was once popular all over the world, making her a hot figure in both the food and documentary circles.

Zhong Yu and Zhu Jin have been friends for many years. When they were preparing for "A Bite of China", many people were not optimistic about the project. It was Zhu Jin who invested in it himself and served as the chief consultant of the program, which saved the documentary from being difficult to produce.

So, this time when Zhong Yu was preparing a new documentary, he brought Zhu Jin in again without thinking twice.

Zhu Jin handed the coffee to the assistant beside him and couldn't help but complain:
"I shouldn't have believed your lies and boarded your pirate ship! As a result, I can't get away until now, and you dragged me to Rouen again! The day you called me, I was planning to eat egg fried rice at a restaurant. That is definitely the best fried rice..."

"I see you enjoyed your meal at Rouen."

Zhong Yu glanced over indifferently.

Zhu Jin paused and could only answer:
“It is Bresse Chicken after all.”

Rouen is a small town located in the Bresse region in the eastern part of Country F. It is situated on the banks of the Seille River and is an ancient country town with only 6000 residents.

What makes it famous all over the world is the Bresse chicken, known as the national chicken of Country F and the top poultry food. However, its annual production is only 150 million, which is a drop in the ocean compared to the world's largest annual output of feed chickens.

Although with Zhu Jin's wealth and status, even the most precious and rare ingredients are within his reach.

If he says he wants to eat it today, someone will fly it to him from abroad tomorrow.

But eating this way and eating locally are two different experiences.

Delicious food is not something that comes without roots. The soil that it grows in is the best condiment for tasting delicious food.

For example, on this business trip, Zhong Yu was going to Rouen to shoot materials about Bresse chicken. The locals welcomed them warmly and roasted Bresse chicken for them in their own kiln.

Unlike those high-end French restaurants that cook Bresse chicken with all kinds of expensive seasonings, the locals just add some hay and a little bit of salt, and drizzle the juice and fat dripping from the roast chicken on the chicken at any time.

The Bresse chicken roasted in this way is extremely delicious and full of country flavor.

The chicken breast is so tender that you can even scoop it out with a spoon!
Even now, Zhu Jin still misses it.

Zhong Yu glanced at him sideways:
"Didn't you say Huaguowei?"

"That's different."

Zhu Jin argued quietly.

Turning his head, he thought of the golden egg fried rice again:
"By the way, I'm going to eat the egg fried rice I missed tonight, do you want to come?"

Finally, this is something strange:

"Is it the egg fried rice you mentioned so many times? How delicious must it be to make you think about it for so long?"

"Didn't I tell you? A magical item! The most magical item in fried rice!"

Zhu Jin raised his chin and told Zhong Yu the twists and turns of the story.

Zhong Yu listened:

"Oh, so he stole your niece's meal."

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Jin was so angry that he jumped up and down.

At this time, they had already walked out of the airport and were standing next to a car parked on the roadside.

Zhong Yu raised his hand to look at his watch and smiled gently:
"Unfortunately, I can't do that. I have a meeting this afternoon, and it will be too late to rush over after it ends. You go explore the route first, and if you think it's good, come back and add it to our shooting list."

"This is good!"

Zhu Jin felt annoyed again. He didn't think of it the first time!
He waved goodbye to Zhong Yu and got into his car, but still did not go home. Instead, he went to a familiar old shop and ate a bowl of authentic Yanjing mixed noodles.

As the saying goes, "dumplings on the horse and noodles on the horse off the horse", this can be regarded as a welcoming party for myself after returning home.

Afterwards, he went to meet his old friend, drank tea, and ate freshly baked chestnut cakes…

After a whole afternoon of dawdling, Zhu Jin finally arrived at the night market in the evening. "Huh? Where's the fried rice? Where's my golden fried rice?"

Zhu Jin searched the entire night market but couldn't find the golden egg fried rice stall that Fei Fei described, and he was very disappointed.

But he is a top gourmet who can drive for dozens of hours and cross mountains and rivers to go to a remote mountain village just to eat a bite of fresh fish.

So, little things like this can't knock him down.

Zhu Jin decisively called his old friend and asked about this matter.

The old friend was very surprised:

"...So you weren't influenced by the online opinions? My daughter Feifei was quite disappointed before and asked me several times why Uncle Zhu didn't go to eat egg fried rice."

Zhu Jin was even more confused:
"What public opinion?"

The old friend told me the story in general.

Zhu Jin could hardly believe his ears:

"Variety show? Are you kidding me?"

No matter how unbelievable he was, Zhu Jin asked his old friend for the address of the new store and decided to go there in person to check it out!
On the other hand, Zhong Yu came to the TV station and called all the team members to a meeting without stopping for a moment.

This was a material selection meeting that was originally scheduled to be held half a month ago, but due to a temporary business trip, it was delayed until now.

Zhong Yu flipped through the manuscript in front of him, frowning slightly:

"I gave you an extra half month, and this is what you handed in?"

The tone was not particularly harsh.

But it made everyone in the room so frightened that they dared not speak.

Zhou Ling, who was sitting at the bottom, spoke in silence:
"Director Zhong, I have a topic that I filmed before..."

Zhong Yu captured the key words:

"Did you take the photo before? Did you finish taking the photo?"

Zhou Ling nodded, and then explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Zhong Yu looked a little strange.

Why is it egg fried rice again?
First it was Zhu Jin, then Zhou Ling.

Did she have a fight with fried rice today?

Zhong Yu: “Bring it here and have a look.”

As Zhou Ling thought, Zhong Yu did not blame her for not following the rules, but planned to wait and see.

Now that he had to look at the content, Zhou Ling became more confident.

She quickly told her subordinates to play the video.

Zhong Yu watched the whole process carefully.

Even colleagues in the group who had always been at odds with Zhou Ling did not dare to say anything at this critical moment.

The original material was a bit long, and after Zhou Ling's rough cut, only 20 minutes were left.

The best 20 minutes.

The video ends and the lights in the conference room come on.

Zhong Yu pondered for a moment, but asked a somewhat unexpected question:

“The chef in this video’s last name is Nan?”

"Yes! Her name is Nanzhi!"

"Nanzhi..."

This last name sounds familiar.

Zhong Yu thought.
