The room smelled terribly of burning firewood . Fortunately, there were cracks in the window frames and the door, so Qin Guan didn't have to be careful about inhaling the gas .
Although he was tired, he woke up at the first crow of a village rooster . He felt hungry .
As he was trying to go back to sleep, the rooster crowed a second time .
"Is that a rooster?" Attracted by the sound, Qin Guan put on his coat and shoes and walked outside . Silence was still prevailing in the yard . Everyone else was still asleep . It was dark outside, with only a beam of morning light rising in the East .
The rooster's third crow revealed its location . Qin Guan's eyes sparkled in the dark like yellow weasels .
Crack!
The yard door opened and a figure sneaked out .
In every village, the rooster that crowed first was usually the strongest one . The rooster was standing on a branch by the entrance of the village, looking as if it was sitting on a throne . After its third crow, the villagers would get up and get to work . Qin Guan barely had a few minutes left . He had to take the criminal and turn him into stewed chicken with mushrooms . Of course, he would pay for the dish .
Qin Guan hunted down the rooster until he caught him . After a short, fierce battle, he finally grabbed the rooster's legs . There were some marks left on his hand .
The respectful warrior didn't give up though . The rooster tried to attack the disgusting man with its sharp claws once again .
Director Yin was the first one to spot Qin Guan . He had seen a suspicious man sneak into the yard and go into the kitchen with a weapon .
"Who is there?" Yin shouted loudly . Suddenly, he was stunned .
"Hush, director! I came here for Lao Wang . " Qin Guan gestured nervously at Director Yin . Only the phrase "chicken feathers everywhere" could be used to describe his appearance .
There were feathers in his hair, on his clothes and on his shoes . He looked like he had just survived a fierce battle .
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"I wanted to eat stewed chicken with mushrooms . "
"Just tell the cook then . What are you doing with that rooster?"
"It has a wonderful voice, sir . It seems really delicious, much better than the other ones . "
"Did anyone see you?"
"No! It shouldn't have been shouting by the entrance of the village . "
Director Yin looked speechlessly at the shameless man . "You have to pay for the rooster . Double its usual price!"
"No problem!"
He rushed into the kitchen as Lao Wang applauded . Director Yin put on his coat out in the yard, thinking about the possibility of having lunch with Qin Guan .
Not long after, Wang Liying got assigned a task . She had to find the rooster's owner and give him her sincere condolences along with some money . When will we leave this village? My boss has become a thief!
When she returned though, the wonderful smell all over the yard made it all worth it . Lao Wang had cut the rooster into pieces and thrown them into a large iron cauldron .
He fried the meat with ginger, onion and chilli . In three minutes, it had turned a golden-yellow color . Then the cook added water into the cauldron along with some wild Zhen mushrooms, which were a North-Eastern Chinese specialty .
Ten minutes later, he opened the lid of the cauldron . Everyone turned their eyes to the director when they smelled the fragrance .
"What are you looking at? Go have some dinner!"
Everyone cheered . The simple North-Eastern dish attracted people from all corners of China . Delicious food always brought people together . Everyone liked traditional village dishes like ribs with corn, pickled cabbage powder, and North-Eastern stew .
North-Eastern cuisine was famous for its large portions and various tastes . When the crew headed to Tibet, everyone was still obsessed with the taste .
The Tibetan Plateau was the place closest to the Sun in China, so the local residents had dark skin and red cheeks . The Potala Palace was a holy place for all Tibetan people, so they saw sincere pilgrims everywhere along the way .
The sound of prayer wheels was heard from afar . The boundless plateau was the final setting of their film .
The Tibetan Military Hospital had cleaned the deserted building and lended it to the crew for free . The prop team recreated a room of the time in the building .
By the time Qin Guan walked out of the dressing room, his skin had turned bronze . Cracks and wrinkles had appeared on his lips due to the rough living conditions .
