This humble Taoist priest is going to be a movie star!

The action scenes still need some time to prepare, so the crew is filming other scenes first, allowing Li Qing and a few others to prepare. It's a small break from their busy schedule. Li Qing is also preparing for the action scenes, but overall, there's still plenty of time in a day.

During this ample time, Li Qing strolled around the area.

Try out the traditional local cuisine.

After a series of twists and turns.

We arrived at the Shaxian Snack Shop again.

"Yours, noodles with Shaxian dumplings."

"Okay," Li Qing nodded.

"Here'll have more, since you're handsome."

"Thanks..."

On the other side, a big boy dressed in tattered clothes looked up, trembling with fear, and then swallowed mouthfuls of noodles, as if he hadn't eaten in a long time.

Actually, he wasn't handsome at all; the proprietress was just using it as an excuse to give the boy some extra food.

After finishing his meal quickly, the young man said thank you and gave the proprietress five crumpled one-yuan bills.

Then the young man bowed to the proprietress.

"Thank you so much."

"Hey, if you really want to thank me,"

When serving Li Qing, they didn't give him much food. Today, Li Qing wasn't wearing his slightly worn Taoist robe, and his face didn't look dusty from his journey.

The proprietress completely ignored Li Qing and gave him whatever amount was due.

Ten minutes later, another person arrived at the Shaxian snack shop.

Holy crap.

Huang Xiaoming was utterly speechless looking at this tiny, run-down restaurant.

If you're going to eat, go to a nicer restaurant, not a place like this.

We agreed that I'd treat you, and this is where you come from?

"We can go to a better restaurant."

"This restaurant is actually quite good," Li Qing said, breaking apart a pair of disposable chopsticks. "They put in plenty of ingredients, and the food is fresh enough."

"Really?"

Huang Xiaoming picked up a meat dumpling covered in peanut sauce with a suspicious look on his face.

Then my eyes lit up; the taste was indeed quite good.

Shaxian Restaurant is popular not only because of its low prices, but also because of its delicious food.

Huang Xiaoming couldn't resist eating a few more dumplings.

"It's alright."

"That's right."

"Oh, right, those martial arts power generation techniques..."

Li Qing said she wanted to talk to Huang Xiaoming about action scenes and suggested they go out for a meal.

Huang Xiaoming came running without telling anyone else.

Practice secretly, and then amaze everyone on set.

Moreover, consulting Li Qing would be the best course of action.

As fellow actors, they share more in common and have more to talk about. Other action choreographers are either too old or just ruthless action direction machines.

Everyone thinks Huang Xiaoming is a lazy bum with his resources, but actually he's always been very helpful and consults people here and there.

"It would be better to do a set of strength training exercises like this to activate your muscles before filming begins. Yes, it's like doing a horse stance..."

Li Qing also shared some of his martial arts experience with Huang Xiaoming.

It's not so much experience as some tips and tricks that you need to use when performing difficult physical movements.

For a moment, Huang Xiaoming was so engrossed in listening that he forgot to eat and sleep, and even dropped his dumplings.

at this time...

"Huh? Isn't that Brother Xiaoming?"

Among the crowd, someone recognized Huang Xiaoming.

"Wow! It really is Huang Xiaoming! What's he doing eating here?"

"The Taoist priest sitting opposite him... is so handsome! He has a kind of aloof and ascetic feeling."

"Holy crap! Liu Che? It really is Liu Che!"

A commotion broke out in the crowd.

Who is Huang Xiaoming? He played Liu Che in "The Emperor of Han Dynasty"!

With this drama, Huang Xiaoming became a household name, especially since it was a CCTV drama watched by middle-aged and elderly people.

"Oops, I've been recognized by the fans."

Huang Xiaoming chuckled as he ate his dumplings, "That's right, it's me."

Xiao Ming doesn't care about being recognized.

Some of the young people were even quite excited and full of youthful vigor.

He was recognized this time.

Then "Shaxian Snacks" suffered.

Waves of people came in, wanting to take photos with the big stars and have dinner with them in the same restaurant.

Faced with these challenges, Li Qing remained calm and cheerful.

"You've been recognized, Brother Ming."

"Hey, it happens all the time."

The people around were still discussing it.

"This celebrity is so down-to-earth, even eating at Shaxian Snacks."

Unsuspecting onlookers are just enjoying the spectacle.

"Celebrities are people too, why can't they eat here? It's delicious and cheap. Didn't you see how much that handsome Taoist priest across from you is enjoying his food?"

Everyone was there to see Huang Xiaoming, so Li Qing just ate and ate.

I ate slowly and carefully, but it was delicious, really delicious!

It makes people feel it without them even realizing it.

How about we try this food stall next time?

The happiest person here is the proprietress.

Customer traffic suddenly doubled, and the small shop was almost overwhelmed. The husband in the kitchen was exhausted.

I'm just so happy I'm numb.

"Speaking of which, how come we're so lucky today? Two big stars came to our restaurant for dinner!" The owner smiled broadly, though it was still quite hot after all the work.

But this heat makes me happy, this heat makes me feel warm.

Business is booming, life is getting better, and the money earned can buy a house and support the children's education.

Thinking of this, the boss and his wife smiled broadly.

"Doesn't that Taoist priest look familiar?"

"Really? You might have eaten at our restaurant before."

"Repeat customers are big stars, how lucky."

"Yes, that's really lucky."

Soon, the crowd that had gathered to see the big star dispersed. After all, not everyone has nothing better to do; everyone has their own life to live. They take a photo with the star, get an autograph, and then go back to their own lives.

People in this era don't idolize celebrities with fanaticism.

However, many people remember this Shaxian snack shop that was frequented by celebrities.

Since even celebrities come to eat here, the taste must be pretty good, right?

Everyone silently remembered this ordinary Shaxian snack shop.

.....

Li Qing smiled as he sipped his tea.

"Boss lady, the bill is due."

"Okay!"

The proprietress said with a smile, "Big stars come to eat, it's free."

She's already brought her so many customers, she's too embarrassed to ask for money.

Li Qing stared at the proprietress and smiled.

"One thing at a time."

"Okay, fine..."

When she was collecting the money, the proprietress saw Li Qing's clear eyes.

Huang Xiaoming then spoke from the side.

"Hey, it's a deal that it's on me this time."

"I'll treat you to dinner at a fancy restaurant tonight."

"Hey, you're really good at calculating!"

"I'll tell you some waist training techniques tonight. This will be very useful for your future action scenes. Many martial arts moves are powerful because they originate from the waist."

Using your waist to generate power?

"Brother, abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and fish maw, whatever you like."

"Haha, okay."

Li Qing took Xiao Ming Ge away from the Shaxian snack shop.

The proprietress recalled the Taoist's clear eyes just now.

Life is a journey, fleeting like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall.

Who will come? Who will remember the other?

The proprietress didn't remember originally, but she remembered that last look in her eyes.

It reminded her of it.

"It's him..."

Thinking of the Taoist priest walking with Huang Xiaoming, the proprietress sighed.

"So, he really is a big star."
