I Have a Countryside Gourmet Restaurant

Chapter 216: Chapter 212: Why Are These People So Calm?

In the vegetable garden.

Li You looked up when he heard Wei Yang’s voice.

He was a little surprised.

It wasn’t that Wei Yang had come again, but that he’d brought such a large group of people with him this time.

This group was clearly with Wei Yang.

’Who are they?’

’A film crew?’

Li You hazarded a guess, then put down his hoe and walked toward the edge of the garden.

As he walked, he smiled. ”So it’s Director Wei. Welcome! A warm welcome to you all!”

Li You’s reaction also surprised the film crew.

’This young boss is obviously happy to see such a major director, but he isn’t excited at all?’

’He called him ”Director Wei,” so he knows who Wei Yang is. How can he be so calm, knowing his identity? That doesn’t make any sense!’

The crew couldn’t figure it out.

At that moment, Wei Yang gestured to the crew members. ”Boss, this is the crew from one of our film sets. We’re currently filming at the Southwest Film and Television Base. We made a special trip here today to eat.”

’So it really is a film crew.’

Li You thought, ’Just as I suspected,’ and then looked the crew over carefully. He noticed that some of them looked a bit familiar.

They were obviously actors. Only actors would look familiar.

It turned out there were quite a few familiar actors in this crew.

There were even a few whose names Li You could recall.

Li You was quite happy to see actors in real life whom he had previously only seen on screen.

But that was all.

So, Li You said to the crew, ”I’m very happy and honored to see you all in person. Welcome, everyone. Your presence brings honor to my humble establishment.”

Hearing this, the crew members also chimed in, ”Hello, Boss!”

”It’s great to meet you, Boss.”

”It’s our honor to be at your esteemed restaurant.”

”...”

Although a few of the younger celebrity actors were a bit puzzled that Li You didn’t show the expected excitement upon seeing them, they didn’t let it show.

After a round of pleasantries, Li You invited Wei Yang and the crew into the restaurant.

There were still a few tables of customers eating inside.

Someone recognized Wei Yang and, pleasantly surprised and happy, greeted him, ”Director Wei is here! Welcome, Director Wei.”

When the others heard this, they also realized Wei Yang had arrived. Everyone was very happy.

They hadn’t been in the restaurant the last time Wei Yang came. This time, they finally ran into him.

Wei Yang happily greeted all the customers. ”Hello, everyone! It’s great to see you all again.”

Seeing this, the film crew was once again stunned.

’It’s this late, and there are still so many customers eating here. Fine, whatever.’

’The main thing is, these people clearly know who Wei Yang is, so why are they just happy, like the boss? Why aren’t they thrilled?’

’They should be incredibly excited!’

’And there are so many of us actors here, including some big stars. These customers should have recognized us, too!’

’If they recognized us, they shouldn’t be this calm!’

’We’re celebrities, after all.’

The actors, especially the younger celebrity actors, couldn’t make sense of the situation.

In fact, the customers in the restaurant had indeed recognized them.

’So, this group that came in with Wei Yang has a lot of actors, and some are even celebrities.’

’In that case, this must be a film crew.’

’So Director Wei brought his whole crew here to eat this time.’

This made the customers even more pleasantly surprised and happy.

Because this meant the boss’s restaurant had once again proven how awesome it was—an entire film crew had come just to eat.

Of course, the customers were also happy to see so many actors in person, whom they usually only saw on screen.

But it was just happiness. Far from excitement.

They had met even Master Guyi, so what was there to get excited about?

Although these actors all had some degree of fame, and there were even celebrities among them, they were on a completely different level compared to Guyi. The gap was just too vast.

”Director Wei, are you all a film crew? Are you filming somewhere and made a special trip here to eat?” a customer asked.

Wei Yang nodded. ”We’re a film crew, currently shooting at the Southwest Film and Television Base. We did indeed make a special trip here to eat today.”

”The Southwest Film and Television Base? Isn’t that in Qian Province? That’s quite a long way from here!” another customer remarked.

Wei Yang nodded again. ”It is indeed in Qian Province. But it’s not that far, just over 600 kilometers.”

All the customers were left speechless. Over 600 kilometers, and he described it with ”just”?

’Obviously not!’

’Over 600 kilometers is really far, okay?’

What made Wei Yang feel that over 600 kilometers wasn’t too far?

The answer was obvious: the delicious food and fine wine here.

At this thought, the customers grew excited and thrilled all over again. ’The boss’s restaurant is amazing! It made a whole film crew travel over 600 kilometers just for a meal.’

If word of this got out in the entertainment industry, probably few people would believe it.

’If they don’t believe it, they can just come and try it for themselves.’

It seemed like the boss’s restaurant would see no shortage of figures from the entertainment world from now on.

The customers clucked their tongues in amazement.

But whether for the boss or for them, no matter how famous someone from the entertainment world was, no matter how big a star, they were just an ordinary customer here.

With an original painting by Master Guyi hanging on the wall, the customers had every reason to feel this confident.

This made the customers very proud.

Speaking of Master Guyi’s original painting, Wei Yang and the entire crew now seemed to have noticed that very painting on the wall.

”This painting is beautiful! It has such an incredible atmosphere!” the crew members praised one after another.

They had seen plenty of landscape paintings, but rarely one with such a profound mood.

Most of them didn’t know much about art, but they could still tell it was an excellent painting.

However, not everyone was an amateur. The deputy director, He Wenqing, was a professional painter himself.

The more He Wenqing looked at the painting, the more shocked he became.

Because he could see far more in it than the others in the crew.

Of course, he didn’t realize the painting was by Guyi. He only knew that the artist was by no means ordinary.

’There are probably only a handful of people in the entire Art World with this level of skill.’

Although He Wenqing was a professional painter, his own attainments weren’t deep enough for him to see that only the foremost figure in the Art World, Guyi, could have created such a work.

As for Wei Yang, he, of course, recognized the subject of the painting as Jiulong Gorge at a glance.

And the boss’s restaurant was in the painting as well.

’Did the boss specially commission someone to paint this?’

’That’s a pretty good idea.’

Wei Yang smiled and said to the crew, ”The subject of this painting is Jiulong Gorge. If you look closely, the boss’s restaurant is in it, too.”

’Is that so?’

None of the crew members had ever been to Jiulong Gorge, so they didn’t recognize it.

But now, after hearing what Wei Yang said, they all nodded slowly.

’In that case, the boss must have commissioned someone to paint it.’

’That was a really great idea.’

Almost everyone who learned the painting depicted Jiulong Gorge assumed the boss had specially commissioned it.

This was, of course, only natural. It was perfectly normal for people to think that.

And generally speaking, that should have been the case.

It was just that this particular painting was not a general case.
