Chapter 53

"Let Xiao Qi bring the toilet paper over."

"Let Xiao Qi go open the door."

"Let Xiao Qi act like he doesn't want to eat and is sad, lying down."

The production team quickly began reshooting the first few episodes of the miraculous dog. Some scenes required actors, so the actors had to re-perform, but fortunately, many scenes only featured the dog, so they only needed to shoot with Da. Da could understand what Su Jing said, so he quickly adapted to the name Xiao Qi and performed exceptionally well, often getting it right in one take. In the morning, Da completed most of the scenes that the three dogs had previously played.

Since it was just the beginning of the shoot, Su Jing naturally had to direct Da personally. Zhu Jianhua had stayed to help Su Jing, but he didn't actually help much. He just went to get signatures from Guo Biting, Jin Shijia, and others, and was later chased away by the production team.

"This dog is really amazing!" Wang Lie, Liang Hua, and others couldn't help but praise the dog. The dog replaced three dogs without any difficulty, and it was much faster and of higher quality than the three dogs.

"Mr. Su, how did you train so many dogs so well? Are they all of excellent breeds?" Guo Biting, who had just finished shooting a scene interacting with the miraculous dog, was stroking Da's neck and asked Su Jing curiously, clearly wanting to learn from him. Both of them raised many animals, so they were kindred spirits, but Su Jing's level of raising animals was clearly higher.

"Actually, they were all stray dogs, not of excellent breeds," Su Jing smiled and said.

"Stray dogs? How is that possible?" Before Guo Biting could speak, Wang Lie, Liang Hua, Qin Xulan, and others shouted in disbelief. How could such a miraculous dog be a stray? Who would be willing to abandon it?

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Su Jing shrugged and didn't explain further. Wang Lie, Liang Hua, and Qin Xulan all thought Su Jing was joking and didn't pay much attention. Guo Biting tilted her head and observed Da for a while, unsure if she believed it.

When it was time for lunch, Su Jing ate with the production team. The production team clearly wasn't very particular about food; the lunch was just boxed meals brought from outside. Although it wasn't bad, Su Jing, who had developed a refined palate, could only say it was edible.

"Hey, why aren't you eating?" Su Jing, who had picked up a boxed meal, saw Guo Biting, Jin Shijia, Qin Xulan, and others sitting in a circle but not eating, and asked curiously.

"Hehe, we're waiting for some delicious food," Qin Xulan said mysteriously.

"What kind of delicious food?" Su Jing asked.

"You're from here, so you should have heard of the young chef at Zhenhong Seafood in Qingyun Town, right? I sent someone to buy his food, and it should be here soon," Qin Xulan said with a grin. Actually, they didn't know about this so-called young chef in Qingyun Town before coming here. They only found out after searching for nearby delicacies, and Zhenhong Seafood came up with extremely high reviews and a strong recommendation from the food critic Zhou Xian.

"..." Su Jing's face immediately turned strange, thinking that the young chef they were talking about was right in front of them. He didn't even know his own reputation had become so well-known. "Even if we buy it now, it will take at least half an hour to deliver."

"For delicious food, waiting half an hour is nothing," Qin Xulan said.

"Exactly, we have plenty of time since we still need to reshoot Xiao Qi's scenes in the afternoon," the others chimed in.

"But Biting has a cold and shouldn't be hungry. She should eat something first," Liu Qian said. She had short hair and played a love-struck woman obsessed with marriage in the show, but in reality, she was a thoughtful person.

"Cold? I can make her something to eat," Su Jing offered.

"That's too much trouble, I can just eat the boxed meal," Guo Biting quickly refused, not wanting to trouble someone she had just met.

"It's no trouble, just wait a moment," Su Jing smiled. It was no wonder he was so eager to please; after all, it was rare to meet a goddess from the screen, and he couldn't bear to eat the food here anyway. It was better to eat what he made.

The production team had some basic kitchen utensils. Su Jing went out to buy vegetables and fish nearby and made a stir-fried meat and vegetables and a steamed yellow croaker, which he was good at. Although his cooking skills had improved, without the hot stove, the food could only be considered passable and not suitable for a grand occasion. So he added some magic beast jerky, which naturally elevated the taste. Eating some of it would also help Guo Biting recover.

Su Jing cooked very carefully and took nearly half an hour to finish. When he brought the two large dishes over, he saw a young man with a sun hat carrying many packed dishes to the table, and Qin Xulan and others were eagerly opening them.

"Mr. Su, put down your dishes and come eat here."

"Right, these are the works of the famous young chef. You might not get another chance to taste them."

Qin Xulan, Jin Shijia, Liu Qian, and others eagerly started eating, clearly ignoring the two dishes in Su Jing's hands.

Su Jing stood there in a daze, feeling depressed. The food he had made was ignored. He glanced at the young man with the sun hat, finding it amusing that he had bought food from the young chef when the chef was right there.

"Mr. Su, why don't you bring your dishes over?" Guo Biting waved at Su Jing with a sweet smile, clearly trying to ease Su Jing's embarrassment. After all, Su Jing had cooked for her, and it would be awkward to leave him aside.

"Coming right over." Seeing Guo Biting's beautiful and enchanting smile, Su Jing immediately felt reinvigorated and hurriedly brought the dishes over.

When the stir-fried meat and vegetables and the steamed yellow croaker were placed on the table, a fragrant aroma spread. Guo Biting's appetite was immediately stimulated, and she couldn't help but pick up her chopsticks and take a bite of the vegetables. After a few bites, she praised, "Not bad at all."

She then took a piece of meat, and the delicious flavor made her saliva flow rapidly, almost swallowing her tongue. If the vegetables were good, the meat was simply a delicacy. She was deeply shocked. Who was this Mr. Su? Wasn't he a trainer? How could his cooking be so amazing? If not for the presence of strangers and a bit of reserve, she would have eaten greedily.

"The young chef's skills... how should I put it, they're still pretty good."

"Delicious, but not as miraculous as the rumors."

"Right, any fancy hotel could serve this."

Jin Shijia, Qin Xulan, Liu Qian, and others, who were eating the seafood, were somewhat disappointed, feeling that their expectations had been in vain.

Then, they smelled an incredibly fragrant aroma. They sniffed and identified the direction of the smell, then turned to look at the two dishes in front of Su Jing and Guo Biting, their faces filled with surprise. They thought, could the aroma that overpowered the young chef's seafood and stimulated their appetite be coming from these two dishes?
