The third episode of "The Lonely Foodie" also officially aired shortly after, and the ratings for the second day showed another increase in the ratings of this episode, and the increase was also larger.

It seems that Kei Fujiwara and Yui Mizuhara's operation of brushing their presence everywhere has played a small role, and more and more people are interested in this food show.

"Lonely Foodie" is now ranked sixth in the airing late-night show, up two places from the eighth in the first episode.

Kei Fujiwara looked at the ratings report in his office and suddenly smiled.

Audience retention has gotten higher, and it's been much better. When episodes 1 and 2 aired, nearly half of the viewers would leave after about ten minutes, but the ratings report for the third episode showed that the vast majority of viewers would watch the end as long as they watched the first five minutes.

It shows that the broadcast of the first two episodes has left many loyal viewers, and those who are not interested will not come in again, but the audience who is interested in this kind of slow-paced and light-plot food drama will see it from beginning to end.

If the audience retention rate is high, there will be more and more old viewers, and when the time comes, new blood will pour in, and there will be a big increase in ratings.

Kei Fujiwara sat in his office, quietly thinking about something, suddenly put down the report, took out the phone book from the drawer, and called a number.

After the phone rang twice, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, hello, I'm Etsuko Fukuyama."

"Miss Fukuyama, I'm Kei Fujiwara." Kei Fujiwara got straight to the point, "I want to invite Aoi Kono to make a cameo appearance in my new drama, and the filming will be completed in about half a day, does Miss Kono have a schedule?"

"Is it 'The Lonely Gourmet'?"

"Yes." Kei Fujiwara lay on the office chair, the soles of his shoes wiped on the floor, the chair turned, his body changed direction smoothly, facing the window, Kei Fujiwara swirled his fingers around the leaves of the green plants on the windowsill, "Have you watched that show? How do you feel?"

"A very good-looking late-night drama is a breath of fresh air in the current late-night show." Etsuko Fukuyama said, "It's a bit of a ...... to watch this in the middle of the night Alas, it's easy to get hungry at night and can't sleep."

Kei Fujiwara smiled, "I'm so happy to have Miss Fukuyama's affirmation. So Kono, does she have a schedule?"

"Of course, it's just that when this kid was filming, I also hoped that Fujiwara-sensei would supervise her...... She's gained four pounds lately."

It's only four catties, and there is no change in the light skeleton of four catties of meat. Kei Fujiwara complained silently in his heart, but on the surface he promised, "Okay, except for the shooting materials, I won't let her eat more than one mouthful."

"That's good, when are you going to shoot in Kono?"

After the two agreed on a specific shooting time, they chatted a few more words, and just about to hang up, Etsuko Fukuyama suddenly said, "There is another thing, I just don't know whether to say it or not."

Saying this prefix is usually followed by some embarrassing requests, and Fujiwara frowned: "Please say."

"That's right, Kiko, that kid has always wanted to apologize to you and Miss Mizuhara, not for anything else, but for a formal occasion......

"Miss Fukuyama, forget it."

Hearing a little coldness in Kei Fujiwara's voice, Etsuko Fukuyama stopped talking about it.

Although it's a pity to give up Nozomi Araki, it's impossible to offend a well-known screenwriter in the industry who is on the rise for her.

……

"Fujiwara-sensei! I knew you were good to me!"

When I heard that I was invited to shoot "Lonely Gourmet", Aoi Kono was happy like a child going on a spring outing.

Mr. Fujiwara must have seen that I had been having a hard time lately, so he invited me to this show.

When the first and second episodes of "Lonely Gourmet" were broadcast, Aoi Kono watched it in front of the TV for a minute, and his saliva flowed all over the ground.

That night, Kono Aoi had a hard time falling asleep, and in her sleep, all kinds of food swirled in the sky.

In this issue, the filming location was moved to Kanagawa Prefecture, and the food they filmed was no soup dandan noodles and husband and wife lung films.

This is a Sichuan restaurant, the owner originally opened a foreign restaurant, and later married a Sichuan girl, so he changed the foreign restaurant into a Sichuan restaurant.

The main ingredients in the husband and wife lung slices are beef scalp, beef heart, beef tongue, beef tripe and beef, but there are no lungs.

The soupless dan noodles are covered with a thick layer of spicy stir-fried noodles, and two green vegetables are spread on the side of the plate for garnish.

Kei Fujiwara rewrote the script so that Aoi Kono also appeared in the play to eat.

And in order to ensure authenticity, the scene of eating is not rehearsed in advance, and it is tried to be passed at one time.

Kono Aoi and Takagi Nobutoshi looked down at the red oil in the dandan noodles, subconsciously swallowed their saliva, and then glanced at each other, as if they were saying: It's not going to kill me.

"I'm moving."

After saying that, the two of them began to eat.

The first bite or two was okay, because it was medium spicy (medium spicy by local standards, not medium by Sichuan standards), so it was bearable.

However, after not taking two bites, the pepper in the noodles began to work.

The smiles on the faces of Nobutoshi Takagi and Aoi Kono disappeared in unison, and then their faces turned from white to red.

Nobutoshi Takagi took a sip of ice water from his glass, but even the taste of the water seemed to change.

"It doesn't feel like water." The clerk on the side said with a smile, "Sichuan cuisine is to use Sichuan peppercorns."

The two of them were in pain and happily ate the dandan noodles and the couple's lung slices.

"It's so much fun." After the shooting, Aoi Kono wiped her mouth with a tissue, her lips nearly doubled under the effect of the chili pepper, and her whole mouth rose.

After the filming was completed, Shuzo Kobayashi took the shooting footage back, and in the editing room, Kei Fujiwara couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at Aoi Kono's funny appearance.

"This episode will be edited as soon as possible, and the fourth episode will be broadcast directly, and the fried dumplings episode will be placed in the fifth episode." Kei Fujiwara said to Shuzo Kobayashi.

Kobayashi nodded, "No problem."

Aoi Kono is very popular now, and because of her cute appearance and innocent personality, she has attracted a large number of fans. Her "stupid beauty" character design is also quite popular, compared to the green tea character design that became popular later through "What's wrong with girls being scheming", stupid beauties without scheming are more popular in this era.

In fact, there is another artist who creates this kind of character in Kono Aoi's company, and that is Nozo Araki. When Kiko Araki was a guest in "Human Observation", she gained the identities of "E-chan" and "stupid beauty" at the same time.

But the fake stupid guy is vulnerable in front of the real fool after all, compared to Kono Aoi's stupid appearance written on his face, how do you look at how Araki Kiko reveals a shrewdness, plus she lost her identity as a guest of "Human Observation", she hasn't shown her face in any high-profile shows for a long time, and gradually, fans have lost to Kono Aoi.

Soon, the fourth episode of "The Lonely Foodie" aired.
