Ning Weimin successfully aroused the curiosity and thirst for knowledge of the two French stars.
Only then can these two French stars be introduced to primary school with Chinese food to receive enlightenment education.
However, since it is an enlightenment education, it has not yet reached the stage of eating big food.
Ning Weimin naturally focuses on snacks.
So although he still mostly entertains guests at the Cantonese-style Chinese restaurant of the Great Wall Hotel or Tan Gong Restaurant, rice rolls, barbecued pork buns, crystal shrimp dumplings, dry steamed siomai, glutinous rice chicken, custard buns, ginger milk, and carrot cakes
, quicksand buns... these Cantonese-style snacks, as well as soy milk, tea soup, noodle tea, wontons, soup noodles, mixed noodles, fried noodles, fried rice, siu mai, bean buns, cakes, steamed cakes, steamed buns, dumplings, pot stickers, pies, fried dough sticks,
Meat, sesame cakes and mutton soup, steamed buns with old noodles, lotus leaf porridge, laba rice porridge, lalaer, pimple soup, small pork rice...these Beijing snacks have become the protagonists.
Of course, according to the eating habits of foreigners, it is not possible to consume only carbohydrates, and must be combined with vegetables and meat.
This is not troublesome. In this regard, Ning Weimin only needs to order a few sweet and sour cucumbers, spinach with nuts, stir-fried carrot sauce, cold jellyfish, mixed red clams, celery and yuba and other refreshing cold dishes, instead of salads and side dishes.
vegetable.
Add some pure meat dishes such as sweet and sour cherry meat, kung pao chicken, sweet and sour pork loin, golden pork, pot hammer, fried eight pieces, roasted lamb, dry croquettes and so on.
Or box dishes such as garlic sausage, smoked chicken, barbecued pork, pork with clear sauce, pork elbow with sauce, and pine nut tripe.
Or grilled squab, pine needle roasted chicken, grilled lamb skewers, grilled venison skewers, grilled pork belly, grilled mushrooms and other small barbecues.
For foreigners from most countries in the West, these are relatively simple and pure meals that don’t have too much of a weird smell, and are perfect no matter how you pair them with them.
It was enough to make the two French celebrities smile, marvel at the rich and colorful food in China, and feel that they have learned a lot.
As for the famous bean juice in Beijing, Ning Weimin did not recommend it to the two French celebrities, nor did he kick it down and force-fed them a bowl as the cross talk said.
If he really wants to do this, then he is simply out of mind.
Although even the emperors of the Qing Dynasty drank this stuff.
It is indeed a good thing that has transcended classes, broken circles, been passed down for hundreds of years, and can cure timidity.
But there is a threshold for enjoying this thing. It is an addiction that cannot be forgotten, but addiction is not easy.
The people in Beijing who are good at this kind of food basically have it from their families. It is a boy's skill that they have practiced since they were young.
Even a wild child like him can't appreciate it without anyone teaching him.
Then why did he have to take two French celebrities into a ditch and destroy people's good impression of Chinese cuisine?
Absolutely not!
In fact, let alone bean juice, stinky tofu, preserved eggs, folded ear roots, sour bamboo shoots, as long as they are foods with pungent odors, even braised and roasted, fried liver, preserved eggs, chicken feet, roasted kidneys and other organs
Offal is not allowed at all.
It’s not that these things are bad, but because even for snacks, these are upgraded versions of niche products.
Foreigners can eat it if they want, but there is a prerequisite: they must first master the popular snacks before they can appreciate the beauty of these foods.
Everything is just like going to school, there must be a step-by-step process, otherwise it will be like destroying the potential.
However, when it comes to this, I have to praise the French, they really have a persistent thirst for knowledge about food.
Because although from the perspective of national character and habits, the free-spirited, refined, romantic, and hedonistic French people are completely opposite to the restrained, restrained, and hard-working Chinese people.
But when it comes to food, the French have many similarities with the Chinese.
For example, both French and Chinese people can talk about a certain dish without getting bored.
Both of them like to eat strange birds and animals, attach great importance to appetizers (cold dishes), and drink...
Everyone is willing to go a long way to have a delicious meal...
They would ask their elders in the family for cooking methods and pass them down from generation to generation...
Therefore, the French and the Chinese are actually very close and similar in their dietary preferences and habits.
When the two French celebrities really fell in love with some Chinese delicacies, they had more topics to discuss with Ning Weimin, which further paved the way for their relationship to change to a positive one.
Ning Weimin even took the time to teach Catherine Deneuve how to make dumplings, and Alain Delon how to make noodles and roll out dumpling wrappers.
He also consulted two celebrities for their opinions. He used a camera to capture such a down-to-earth scene, and after obtaining their permission to publish it, it received an extremely strong and ideal response from Chinese movie fans.
In this way, this kind of experience and results, both public and private, not only truly made Ning Weimin a friend of the two French stars, but also laid the foundation of trust between them.
So Ning Weimin successfully promoted his next plan - to take the two French celebrities out of their hotel in their spare time, stroll around the capital, record the whole process with a camera, and finally edit it into a video
Documentary.
The shopping here is not like when the two French stars first came here.
It was an official event where troops and crowds mobilized, cheering and supporting, to visit Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, Beihai, and the Summer Palace, then climb the Great Wall, then go to Quanjude to eat roast duck, and go shopping at the Friendship Store.
Rather, they did not bring too many entourages, just a few of them, each with a bicycle, just like ordinary people, riding bicycles deep into various parts of the ancient capital.
Go and experience the real life of the city and savor the life of ordinary people in the ancient capital.
Ning Weimin even gave Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve each 200 yuan a day as pocket money, so that they could spend more conveniently like ordinary people.
Needless to say, this arrangement was definitely welcomed by the two French celebrities and gained their favor even more.
Because they had already been restrained when they came to the capital, not to mention being followed by too many people wherever they went, for fear that others would not know that they were stars.
Even if they sneak out for a walk on their own, they don't dare to go far. Instead, they run into walls everywhere, always encountering signs saying "Foreigners Stop".
You know, as foreigners, they also had some hearsay knowledge about the Republic before coming.
The most unfamiliar and frightening thing is the difference in political system, and I am afraid that I will be treated as a class enemy by accident.
For this reason, Alain Delon even prepared all-red clothes for himself, because he heard that the place was red and wanted to do what the country wanted.
So when they see the sign, they don't dare to run around. They just have to be good babies and turn around immediately.
Little did I know that many brands have become scarecrows and belong to the old calendar.
But now that we have Ning Weimin, a guide who knows the local situation best and can communicate smoothly, of course we will be happy.
Who doesn’t want to experience a truly exotic atmosphere when you come all the way?
Not to mention that Ning Weimin also prepared RMB for them to spend their money. He was so thoughtful and considerate that he could not wait to get into their hearts.
They also know that the Republic has two currencies, new money and old money. New money is used by foreigners and can only be spent in designated places. Although its purchasing power is strong, it is not as convenient as old money when it is used among the people because many
The place doesn't charge it.
But now it's great. With such an informed and expressive tour guide, we can have a great time.
So just like that, Ning Weimin started to accompany the two French stars to travel around every day. Today he went to Jingshan, the Imperial College, and Shichahai, and tomorrow he went to Qianmen Street, Tianqiao, and the Natural History Museum, and the day after tomorrow he went to Drum Tower Street and Xisi.
Xidan, the day after tomorrow we will go to Yonghegong, Longfu Temple, Dongsi, National Art Museum...
For the two French stars, everything Ning Weimin brought them to experience was like a dream, and they were completely immersed in the charm of the capital city where ancient and modern complement each other.
Because whether it is the leisurely old people in the park, the small business vendors and the housewives who buy vegetables, cook, push the carts and take care of their children, or the salespersons standing at the counter in state-owned stores, those eating in small restaurants, or the people on Tiananmen Square
The soldiers standing guard were revealing to them a vivid and extremely real capital city.
On the street, the two French celebrities also saw the unique skill of the people of the Republic in carrying people and goods on bicycles.
Some bicycles can seat three people.
There was also someone riding a car and pulling a car in his hand.
What's more, using a bicycle can move cabinets and deliver large items such as refrigerators.
This made them wonder, are all Chinese people masters of acrobatics?
At the same time, we have to admit that there are nine million bicycles in Beijing alone, and the Republic deserves to be called the kingdom of bicycles.
Taking advantage of the convenience of the home court, Ning Weimin arranged for them to take a tricycle to visit the Temple of Heaven Park and go deep into the alleys, which made them even more excited.
Even the delicious food in private restaurants still conquered them.
You know, in the mid-1980s, many local restaurants began to appear on the streets of Beijing, and Shandong cuisine was no longer the only one in Beijing.
Such as Minnan Restaurant for Fujian cuisine, Turpan Restaurant for XJ cuisine, Genghis Khan Restaurant for Mongolian cuisine, Sichuan Tofu Rice Restaurant for Sichuan cuisine, Songhe Restaurant for Hubei cuisine, plus the original Yanji Restaurant in Beijing, Baikui Laohao, Shun Dong Lai, Barbeque season and barbecue, these cheap and authentic restaurants have their own unique skills.
The two French celebrities eat at three restaurants every day, and it is not enough to get a general understanding of the flavors of our various parts of China in one month.
So Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve enjoyed great success under the leadership of Ning Weimin.
So much so that Deneuve was a little afraid of losing control of her weight, and fearfully vowed to reduce her food intake from now on.
Alain Delon licked his glossy lips and said to Ning Weimin, "You are such a wonderful friend. Whenever you go to France, I will treat you like this. I want to take you to travel around Paris, and Eat all the delicious food in Paris.”
At this point, in fact, the two French stars already felt that they couldn't live without Ning Weimin.
And this actually caused Ning Weimin to have PUA against them to some extent.
Needless to say, with Ning Weimin's ability, how could he not hide a little selfishness and get benefits from them?
