Gourmet: Random Street Stalls, and My Customers' Jobs Keep Changing

Tucked away in a forgotten corner of the film studio lot is a one-of-a-kind restaurant: Taotie Restaurant.

Its owner, Lan Zhi, seems like an ordinary young man, but he has a natural-born “protagonist aura.” With a bowl of fried rice priced at 200 yuan, he manages to make waves in the star-studded world of showbiz!

On opening day, customers call him crazy, and even the owner next door waits eagerly to see him make a fool of himself.

But who could have guessed that this seemingly ordinary bowl of fried rice would leave A-list actresses Bai Lu and Dilraba Dilmurat dazzled and exclaiming, “This is so good!” They even try to hire Lan Zhi as their personal chef for a hefty sum, only to flee in terror when he says, “I'm scary when I sleepwalk.”

Even more absurdly, paparazzi and famous directors are won over by his fried rice and line up to check the place out.

Lan Zhi remains perfectly calm. “You're late? Get in line. We have plenty of rules here, but the food's even better!”

Soon the little restaurant becomes a celebrity hotspot, with a queue stretching like a centipede every day. And with just one bowl of fried rice, Lan Zhi begins his “culinary comeback” journey.
