The little golden silkworm ended up being brewed into medicine nonetheless. Huan didn’t get to see how the story developed going forward since her job was done. She needed to go back to being Yu Chen’s double.
It is not uncommon to use hanging wires for these immortal hero themed shows. Huan did every scene impressively with minimum retakes, which won her high appreciation from Director Tian. Tian had a reputation for high standards and harsh scolding. Seldom did actors working with him get away without some name calling, even Yu Chen, but Huan had impressed him with her assiduousness and seasoned skills.
Tian hadn’t gained much celebrity status then, but he would become a domestically recognized director in the next few years. His films were box office hits with high ratings. Huan didn’t have a chance to work with him in her last life, though, for she had already retired by the time he rose.
Over a month with the other cast members, Huan had finished all her stunts.
“Good job,” applauded Director Tian, extending his hand. “I look forward to working together again.”
Huan grinned, shaking his hand and receiving the highest pay she had ever earned since doing stunts, well over 5000 RMB. Although it was nowhere close to what she would have made in her last life, it was lifesaving for her at the time.
She used the money to pay rent and get some groceries, planning on having a little celebration with Ling.
“You bought so much! Can you cook, though? How about we dine out?” Ling asked tentatively, scratching her head. As far as she was concerned, the two of them knew nothing about cooking.
“Who says I can’t?” Huan brought the groceries to the kitchen and started chopping. She did lack essential cooking skills by this age in her last life, but that had changed since she started to live alone. Wait, no, Ling was still with her at that time. They were working around the clock – sometimes they had to hustle and do a couple of scenes in one day, which made their eating schedules hectic and resulted in a serious stomach bleeding that almost killed her. That was the time she started to learn how to cook. Of course, thanks to years of hard work, with her rising fame and status, their life was finally getting more comfortable. That was when she had time and energy to attend to her own health as it had been exhausted much.
She didn’t quite get the hang of cooking until she married Lu and had more free time. It was a pity that Ling never got to try her cooking.
Huan sniffed, trying to hold back the tears brewing in her eyes.
She turned around to focus on cooking and soon turned the raw ingredients into a delicious meal.
Ling was visibly shocked when she saw a whole table of well-cooked, edible-looking food.
She abruptly bent over to the table, tasting a cabbage, “You made these?”
