Chapter 355: Chapter 209: The Voiceover Circle is Blown Away! Lin Xu’s First Live Broadcast: Following Second Uncle to Set Shrimp Traps! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]
"Wow! Today’s ’Daily Scenic Area Recommendation’ segment on the travel channel is actually promoting Boss Lin’s Longqi Mountain Scenic Area!"
"Really? Send me the link so I can check it out!"
"No way, no way, no way, it’s actually Boss Lin doing the voiceover!"
"In the past, the travel channel’s voiceovers were always done by Sister Xiaoqi. Why did they switch to Boss Lin?"
"Could Sister Xiaoqi still be hung up over Lin Ji’s Food surpassing Yanjing’s food sharing event?"
"Bro upstairs, can you first check who the presenter for the Lin Ji’s Food topic is before saying that? Sister Xiaoqi has been in cahoots with us for days now."
"Bao’er, if you can’t use idioms correctly, don’t try so hard to sound so cultured, okay?"
Soon, someone posted the travel channel’s video link under the Lin Ji’s Food topic.
After netizens clicked it open, the video started with a series of fast-paced aerial shots. Combined with the opening music, it immediately piqued the viewers’ curiosity. Then, the camera switched to a close-up of dew-glistening scenery as the sun rose in the east.
Lin Xu’s voiceover followed:
"In the early morning, Longqi Mountain slowly awakens to the Chaoyang, with the sound of trickling streams and chirping birds, marking the beginning of a new day..."
The accompanying script was very well written. Lin Xu’s modulation and pacing in his voiceover were also spot on. Combined with footage shot using various types of equipment, the entirety of Longqi Mountain Scenic Area unfolded like a magnificent scroll.
"Holy moly! It’s so beautiful here!"
"Damn, there’s even a drone shot flying out from a cliffside hotel room! It made me subconsciously grip the edge of my company desk!"
"I’ve already made plans with my girlfriend; we’ll visit on our next holiday!"
"My hometown isn’t far from Yinzhou. I plan to take my parents there for a visit soon."
"The video is great, and the scenery is beautiful, but Boss Lin’s voice is slightly jarring. Especially when he says ’chirping birds,’ I keep expecting his next line to be ’these birds would be good for soup.’"
"I feel the same way! It’s supposed to be a scenic voiceover, but it still made me hungry."
"Made me hungry +1! Boss Lin really is something else. He should just stick to cooking. Why try to squeeze into the voiceover scene?"
"The already cutthroat voiceover world is now even more precarious!"
"..."
When it was confirmed the video would be broadcast on TV, Lin Xu specifically posted a message on his social media feed.
Upon seeing this, his father-in-law, Shen Guofu, immediately instructed his secretary, Xiao Zou, to remember to turn on the TV in the office at noon and tune in to Yanjing City’s travel channel.
「Noon.」
While Shen Guofu was eating lunch in his office, Xiao Zou turned on the TV and switched to the travel channel, which began airing the ’Daily Scenic Area Recommendation’ segment. Boss Shen immediately put down his chopsticks, turned up the volume, and watched attentively.
It had to be said, the scenic area his son-in-law’s family had put together was quite impressive; it really made one want to go and experience it.
As he watched, the video showed a shot of Panshi Rock. The large brass lock on the chain caught his attention.
Goodness gracious, so that’s where that lock went! It really was taken by that girl Yueyue, that little rascal...
He quickly typed out a message to Han Shuzhen on his phone: "Found the lock from the equipment room."
Han Shuzhen had just finished her midday clinic. Upon seeing the message, she immediately asked: "Where did you find it?"
"In Yinzhou!"
"What? In Yinzhou?"
"Yueyue snuck off with the lock and put it on Panshi Rock at her in-laws’ scenic area."
Han Shuzhen: "..."
Why am I not surprised at all?
As the mystery of the missing brass lock was coming to light, the main suspect, Shen Baobao, was sitting at the dining table, devouring a crisp and fragrant roasted whole lamb.
"Wow, this lamb is so delicious! It’s crispy and fragrant, and not gamey at all."
Donning disposable gloves, Shen Baobao grabbed a lamb rib from the tray, dipped it into the seasoning dish in front of her, then bit into the meat on the rib and gave a gentle pull. All the meat came right off.
Once in her mouth, the roasted part was crispy and delicious, while the meat on the other side was tender and juicy. Complemented by the dry dipping sauce that grew more fragrant with every chew, it was simply irresistible.
After eating two lamb ribs, she picked up her chopsticks, selected a thinly sliced piece of lamb, dipped it into the prepared sauce, and popped it into her mouth. The savory, sauced lamb instantly dispelled any greasiness from the roasted whole lamb. Eating too much roasted whole lamb could be a bit greasy, and eating too much of the sauced lamb could leave the palate feeling a bit plain. But when eaten together, the two styles of lamb were neither greasy nor plain; in fact, they became more delicious with each bite, making it impossible to stop.
As she was eating, Lin Xu poured her a glass of iced cola. "Don’t just focus on eating; have something to drink."
When Shen Baobao saw the cola, she thought of last night’s red wine and said tentatively, "I want to try some red wine!"
Lin Xu gently pinched her cheek. "You’re still a kid. What makes you think you can drink red wine?"
Shen Baobao immediately stuck out her tongue.
Hehehe, I just love it when Xubao is so sweet to me.
After sitting down, Lin Xu picked up a piece of dry-fried goose with his chopsticks and tasted it.
Hmm, the skin is crispy, and paired with that appetizing spicy flavor, it’s instantly lovable. The rich fat under the goose skin is fried to a slight crispness, making it aromatic and delicious. It’s a perfect match with the tender, juicy goose meat.
This dry-fried goose I’ve made is truly excellent. It’s perfect with drinks or as a main course. Later, I’ll need to work on standardizing the recipe and make it a specialty at the restaurant.
