Chapter 501 Special Birthday
"Rachel, no... this, all this..."
Facing Jennifer Connelly, who plays childhood sweetheart Rachel Dawes, at the Fairmont Hotel, Christian Bale seemed to not know what to say and hesitated in his words.
"This is not the real me. In fact, my heart is not so superficial..."
"Come here, Bruce."
In the sports car on the other side, two hot blonde girls shouted to this side: "Come on, Bruce, let's go buy some more restaurants."
Rachel Dawes shook her head slightly, grinning with a forced smile: "Bruce, deep down you are still an upright child, but who you are underneath the surface is not important, what you do is important. "
She turned and walked away.
"Stop," little Gilbert shouted, appeared from behind the monitor, and first praised Christian Bale: "Well done, Bruce Wayne, keep it up."
"I feel like a great director, it can be even better." Christian Bale remained modest.
Little Gilbert waved and called Jennifer Connelly in front of him: "Rachel, I want a Rachel Dawes who is full of justice.
But you make me feel like Harley Quinn who just came out of Arkham Asylum.
Find a feeling and think about the emotions you feel when you do charity. "
Jennifer Connelly nodded seriously and said: "A good director, I will carefully grasp the character's mentality."
"Take a break for five minutes before shooting..." Little Gilbert clapped his hands and said.
A scene was filmed smoothly, and Jennifer Connelly walked up to little Gilbert.
"Lean, how do you want to celebrate your birthday today?" Little Gilbert asked.
"I think about it, why don't you cook a meal for me." Jennifer Connelly smiled and thanked the narrator for wishing her a happy birthday.
"Okay," little Gilbert agreed.
Jennifer Connelly was stunned: "I was joking."
"I'm not kidding you, it's really possible." Little Gilbert said seriously: "It's really possible..."
Jennifer Connelly was a little moved, but still said: "No, just sing happy birthday and eat a cake."
"How about that?" Little Gilbert took Jennifer Connelly's hand and said, "Wait a moment, I'll ask the hotel kitchen to prepare the ingredients."
With that said, little Gilbert called Ivanka and asked her to notify the kitchen of the hotel where the crew was staying to prepare things for herself, and then free up a kitchen.
Today is Jennifer Connelly's birthday. After filming a few scenes and completing the scheduled schedule, Little Gilbert announced that it was time to call it a day.
Charles Rowan also came over to talk to little Gilbert: "It's Rean's birthday. We can book a bar to celebrate her birthday."
"No," said little Gilbert, "both Reanne and I wish to be alone."
"Oh~" Charles Rowan said: "So you want to live in a world of two, I understand."
Then Charles Rowan showed a meaningful smile and said: "Don't worry, no one will disturb you tonight."
"Charles, it's a pleasure working with you." Little Gilbert smiled.
After returning to the hotel in the evening, the hotel had arranged everything according to Ivanka's instructions, and freed up a small kitchen for little Gilbert to use.
Although it was just a simple birthday celebration, Jennifer Connelly wore a formal dress and light makeup in a very formal manner.
When she came to the kitchen, little Gilbert was already washing and picking vegetables and processing meat. The movements looked a bit jerky, but I gradually became proficient.
When Jennifer Connelly came over, little Gilbert smiled awkwardly and said, "I haven't cooked for a long time, I'm a little rusty."
"It's okay, can I help?" Jennifer Connelly asked.
"No, no, just sit down. Today is your birthday." Little Gilbert pressed little Gilbert on the chair and then continued.
Jennifer Connelly took the red wine glass and poured two glasses of wine.
It was her first time to have a birthday meal in the kitchen, which was a strange experience.
Ivanka knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, I put the cake here."
"Okay," little Gilbert said without raising his head as he handled the mutton chops in his hands.
The hotel's chef helped him handle most of it, but some things still needed little Gilbert to do it himself.
Jennifer Connelly saw that Ivanka was going out, so she invited: "Ivanka, how about staying for dinner together?"
Ivanka secretly cursed: Hypocritical, she clearly doesn’t want me to stay.
Ivanka was very sensible and smiled again: "No, there are still some tasks that have not been handled."
After saying that, she glanced at little Gilbert who was cooking, and then walked away on high heels.
"Does Ivanka like you?" Jennifer Connelly asked curiously.
"No, she probably thinks I'm a good man." Little Gilbert boasted and received a look from Jennifer Connelly.
"What delicious food are you going to make for me today?" Jennifer Connelly was looking forward to it.
"Let's combine Chinese and Western dishes. The current dish is stewed lamb chops with radish. I learned it from the Chinese state banquet chef." Little Gilbert did not forget to brag while cooking.
"I heard that this dish is a Chinese state banquet dish. It tastes very delicious. You must try it."
Little Gilbert cut the lamb chops and radishes into knives, and then blanched the lamb chops. Open the pot again and put down the onion, ginger, and two unused pieces of radish.
"The function of this step is to remove the mutton's mutton smell so that the mutton retains its own delicious taste."
Little Gilbert explained while cooking. The twice-cooked lamb chops were put into the casserole together with the soup. "Stew it like this for an hour, take out all the onions, ginger and radish inside, and add the radish that has been modified with a knife."
Jennifer Connelly seemed to understand: "Where did this casserole come from? I have never seen such a big one."
"Ivanka got it from Chinatown, there are many there." Little Gilbert replied casually.
"While the lamb chops are stewing, let's work on other dishes. Today is a bit simpler. Four or five dishes are enough, right?"
"Yeah, yeah," Jennifer Connelly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
She held her chin with her hand and looked at little Gilbert preparing dinner for her with a happy smile.
The next dish is called Auspicious Lantern Shrimp. The hotel chef prepared the lobster meat for little Gilbert. It has been processed and cut beforehand, so little Gilbert does not need to make any changes.
He washed the lobster meat with salt and added some vinegar, which he also got from Chinatown.
Because of little Gilbert's promotion, Chinese culture has spread to a small extent in the past two years, and even local delicacies have been introduced. Of course, Americans may not be used to it, but soy sauce and seasonings are not hard to find.
The Chinese quickly discovered that their Lao Gan Ma, soy sauce, white vinegar, etc. are particularly popular abroad. As a result, many import and export trading companies soon exported these to Europe and the United States.
These items are not hard to find in any large supermarket in North America these days.
Jennifer Connelly couldn't sit still. She walked around little Gilbert, touching this and looking at that, curious about everything.
"Don't make trouble..."
"No, I just want to help."
Jennifer Connelly watched little Gilbert as if he was performing a magic trick. He quickly prepared a dish of auspicious lantern shrimps, and the presentation was particularly beautiful.
She couldn't help but take out her camera to take pictures, and said: "I'm going to post it on social networking sites so that others can see it. My dear, you are awesome."
"That's right," little Gilbert said proudly: "If I didn't become a director, I might become a chef.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a chef, but being a director means the world is broader for me! "
Jennifer Connelly ponders this line: "It feels like a wily politician to say it."
"Hahaha, indeed..."
The two were chatting and cooking. Jennifer Connelly couldn't help but wanted to help, but in the end it turned into a discussion.
Nonetheless, little Gilbert finished several dishes and made a steamed fish dish. Knowing that Jennifer Connelly can't bear to eat things that are too spicy or too strong, little Gilbert makes everything light.
Finally, let’s have a French meal called the goddess steak, also called Diana steak, which is said to be a must-have for a date.
Several dishes were prepared and served with snacks, and the stewed lamb chops with radish were also ready. The clear soup comes out of the casserole and you take a sip, and you immediately feel delicious.
Little Gilbert wiped his hands and said to Jennifer Connelly, who had been waiting for a long time: "It's almost ready, let's eat!"
"Okay," the two of them didn't go out, so they placed candles on the small kitchen table to experience a special candlelight dinner.
Jennifer Connelly taste this, eat that. At this moment, even if little Gilbert's cooking skills were not good, she couldn't say anything but thought it was delicious.
"cheers……"
The two clinked glasses, the red wine swayed, and the beauty added fragrance.
Jennifer Connelly has a beautiful smile and looks beautiful under the dim light of candles.
While chatting like this, the two of them quickly ate a lot of food.
"I'm so full. Damn it, I'm losing weight." Jennifer Connelly patted her belly and said.
"Then don't lose weight. Lose weight and lose weight. The more you lose, the fatter you will get." Little Gilbert said with a smile.
"Why did you curse me? If I get fat, you are responsible."
"Yes, yes, it is my responsibility." Little Gilbert brought the cake over and put in a small candle: "Hurry up and make a wish, and I will sing happy birthday to you."
"Well," Jennifer Connelly put on her birthday hat, put her hands on her chest, closed her eyes and made a wish.
Little Gilbert sang Happy Birthday to Jennifer Connelly while keeping time.
When the birthday song ended, Jennifer Connelly blew out the candles on the cake. Little Gilbert immediately applauded to celebrate Jennifer Connelly's birthday.
"What did you wish for?" asked little Gilbert.
"Well, I hope my family is healthy and my children grow up smoothly," Jennifer Connelly said.
"What else?"
"I hope our career will move forward steadily and our dreams will come true."
"This is not bad, are there any more?"
"Of course," Jennifer Connelly whispered in little Gilbert's ear, which made little Gilbert's eyes light up.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go back to the room!" Little Gilbert gave Jennifer Connelly a princess hug. Jennifer Connelly was too shy to be sweet and buried her head in little Gilbert's arms.
As for the leftovers, the hotel kitchen will naturally take care of it.
The two of them had more important things to do at this time and had no time to deal with this.
"My high heels..."
"I'll take it," little Gilbert hugged Connery and rushed back to the room.
There was only a table of unfinished dishes and an unburned red candle, swaying.
