Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 516 It's just poisonous, it's not like it tastes bad.

Although it was supposed to be a spontaneous trip, it was postponed by a day due to certain reasons.

The fact that the chairman was coming to inspect the work had already been learned by the site scouting team, the photography team, and the art team that had arrived earlier in Yunnan Province.

The production manager immediately contacted the investors, namely the Yunnan Provincial Film Group, which was the host.

The relevant reception arrangements were quickly made.
After landing, Qi Hui first inspected the crew's preliminary work and offered some guidance.

Then, through the introduction of a representative from the Yunnan Provincial Film Group, I met with several leaders from the Department of Culture and Tourism.

They were very supportive of Qi Hui's work.

However, from the time the project was initiated until they learned about it, and now it's only been such a short time, so policies such as special fund rewards cannot be arranged.

Qi Hui expressed his understanding and did not seem to care much.

Their financial support cannot be too much; it's more of an added bonus, and its presence or absence doesn't make a difference.

Seeing this, the leader chuckled and continued talking about policy support.

Although there was no financial support, there was other support available, such as assistance with filming locations and coordination.

A special coordination and service team was also established to coordinate support in terms of venues and transportation.
Qi Hui was pleasantly surprised by this, as the venue and transportation were extremely important, given that Yunnan Province is mountainous and transportation is often inconvenient.

We are indeed in an era of large-scale infrastructure construction, but it is not yet the era in which large-scale infrastructure construction is completed.

Yunnan Province is a border province, and large-scale infrastructure projects have not yet reached it.

Some filming locations are inaccessible, so this kind of support is really great!
In addition to the above, they will also provide relevant security support.

"Thank you, leader!" Qi Hui smiled.

Something doesn't sound right. Do we really need any safety support when filming?

That's not actually the case. Yunnan Province is a border province, on the front line bordering Southeast Asia, so some security issues are inevitable.

Elsewhere, proper standard firearms are considered toys, while homemade guns wrapped in rags are the real weapons.

However, this view is incorrect in Yunnan Province.

A gun is a gun. When you encounter one, you must never question it or gamble on it.

Last year, in Ning Hao's movie "Breakup Buddies", Huang Bo and Xu Zheng were seen holding two guns, which scared the triads.

Memorable scene: [Tattoo? Huh? Club fee?]

It's that famous scene with Lei Jiayin: "Holy shit!"

In short, this place is not safe, and relevant security support is very important!
On behalf of the production team, Qi Hui thanked the government for its support and even invited the leaders to have lunch together.

The leader naturally refused; he wasn't from the investment promotion bureau, and having lunch with businessmen was somewhat inappropriate.

However, Qi Hui didn't let him leave. He chatted with him for a while and got a few good mushroom restaurants from the leader.

The leader was initially surprised, but then his eyes lit up – this was a good point for publicity.

In fact, the promotion of mushrooms started in 04, with the organization of a wild mushroom food culture festival.

Unfortunately, the results were not good, and it did not reach the scale of the entire province, remaining in a mediocre state.

Qi Hui's words reminded him that this was a good selling point that could be used again!
Go back and do some research, then prepare a report and discuss it at the meeting!
The leader patted Qi Hui on the shoulder, laughed heartily, praised him a few times, and then quickly left.

In fact, the large-scale promotion of mushrooms in Yunnan Province occurred around the time of the pandemic.
Related jokes, such as "red umbrella with white pole" and "seeing a villain," gradually became known to netizens across the country during that period.

The representative from Yunnan Film Group looked on in surprise, somewhat puzzled as to why... the leader was in such a good mood.

People in officialdom are all shrewd and adept at reading people's expressions and figuring out what their superiors want. It's clear that this leader genuinely likes Qi Hui, and his expression just now showed genuine excitement.

Although I'm not entirely sure, taking Qi Hui seriously shouldn't be a mistake...

……

After finishing their business, Qi Hui took Jing Tian to a mushroom hot pot restaurant recommended by a leader.

There's quite a lot of stuff, including yellow boletus, pig's stomach mushrooms, green-headed mushrooms, and blue bolete...

Jing Tian was overwhelmed by the sheer number of them and couldn't help but ask, "Which ones are poisonous? Which ones aren't?"

"Uh... most of them are non-toxic," the waiter replied. "Some porcini mushrooms are poisonous, but that doesn't affect their edibility."

Qi Hui pursed his lips, unable to hold back.

That's true, it's just poisonous, not that it tastes bad. We ordered a few simple ones: Boletus edulis, Boletus luridus, Boletus edulis, and morels.

On her way to the private room, Jing Tian saw a waiter taking a sample with a measuring cup, which shocked her: "What is he doing?"

"Taking a sample," the waiter replied. "The hospital can handle any unexpected situations quickly."

"..." Jing Tian fell silent. She had been very interested before, but after seeing this, she became a little scared.

Qi Hui couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Speaking of which, he did have a colleague from Yunnan Province before he transmigrated.

According to him, even during the pandemic, the people admitted to their hospitals were mostly suffering from mushroom poisoning; there were virtually no cases of COVID-19 infection.

He's actually quite talented. He once said something while drinking:

He has a brother back in his hometown who spilled the undercooked mushroom broth as a dipping sauce and ended up in the hospital. He even mocked his brother for it.

As a result, he had just gotten home and was cooking Boletus luridus. Without paying attention, he didn't wash his hands after cutting the Boletus luridus, but instead picked his teeth and then lay down.

Qi Hui and his colleagues couldn't help but mock this "Sleeping Dragon and Young Phoenix" mercilessly.

Talent!
Of course, jokes aside, that colleague still solemnly warned Qi Hui and the others that the damage caused by fungal toxins is irreversible and they must be careful.

If you're going to eat there, it's best to go to a proper restaurant; never cook it yourself.

Making it yourself is troublesome; the cutting board, knife, and other kitchen utensils used for cutting mushrooms all need to be treated.
Clean with salt and baking soda, wash thoroughly, and then soak in boiling water before reuse.
Sometimes, when you're unlucky, you might cut into an unfamiliar mushroom, and you might even have to throw away the cutting board and knife.

His words left Qi Hui and the others scratching their heads. Was it really that scary?
As we sat down at the table, the waiter brought over a pot of chicken soup and some chopped mushrooms.

Pour in, stir, set the timer... do it all in one go, following the order.

Jing Tian glanced at the mushrooms and saw that they were yellowish-green and looked like they were inedible!
Qi Hui, however, was in a playful mood and asked, "Why aren't there chopsticks?"

"It's not cooked yet, so we can't give you chopsticks."

As he spoke, he even took away the large ladle used to stir the soup pot.

"I'm a local!" Qi Hui said with a serious expression.

"Hehe..." The waiter gave a forced smile. Did you think you were some nobody?

I recognized you the moment I saw you!

The soup pot was bubbling away, and the aroma slowly wafted out, making it smell delicious.

Shortly after, the alarm clock rang, the waiter brought the cutlery, and left.

"I'll drink first." Qi Hui stopped Jing Tian and joked, "If something happens to me, you can protect yourself."

"No way!" Jing Tian glared at him. "Let's drink together!"

Qi Hui laughed heartily, then gulped down the mushroom soup.

"Oh, you naughty boy!" Jing Tian said coquettishly, playfully slapping Qi Hui in annoyance, "I'll punch you!"

Of course, nothing bad happened.

It tastes delicious and incredibly tasty, so delicious it'll make your eyebrows fall off!

This chicken soup is a little oily.

The two immediately began to enjoy the delicious mushroom hot pot, and casually took a few photos to post in the group chat.

Let your brothers and sisters be so envious!

Jing Tian looked at her phone screen, basking in the envy of her girlfriends in the group chat, before turning her attention to Qi Hui.
"Honey."

"Ok?"

"Sito's script is so good, why can't it be broadcast on TV?" Jing Tian asked curiously.

Si Teng's initial goal was to create web series, completely cutting herself off from television.

It's not that web series are bad, they're all TV dramas, but TV stations have a much wider range of options!

If you can be broadcast on satellite and win awards, wouldn't that open up a whole new world of possibilities?

Qi Hui: "Well..."
