Yao Peifang only realized today that there are so many styles of small sushi.
These rice-based foods are wrapped in thin green rolled seaweed, either rolled or in the shape of rice balls.
There are shrimp meat, sashimi, or orange, pearl-like fish roe on top.
Due to the careful preparation by the shop owner, after matching the colors and placing them on elegant small porcelain plates, it is an artistic enjoyment for people not to mention eating, but just looking at them.
Although Yao Peifang rarely eats in restaurants, and she also feels that such a meal with all fresh seafood for everyone to eat is too luxurious and luxurious.
But when someone treats me, I feel very happy to eat exotic food that I have never tasted before but have only seen before.
What's more, the charm of delicious food is simply irresistible to a Chinese girl who is hungry due to frequent dieting and is 1.75 meters tall.
Since she didn't have breakfast this morning, she was already starving before noon, so she soon indulged in the joy of feasting.
She likes to eat the kind wrapped in vegetable skin very much, especially the kind with orange fish roe on it.
Not only does it look good, but the most important thing is that it tastes unimaginably delicious.
When bitten into the mouth, the egg sac bursts, and a liquid flows out and is chewed together with the rice, which makes people feel very fragrant, but not as greasy as eating meat.
Maybe she was a little restrained at the beginning, so she still had to pay attention to see how Ning Weimin did it.
But the most learned thing in the world is to eat.
This can be said to be self-taught, even newborn babies can instinctively suck milk!
Soon Yao Peifang had a good look and was able to use it freely.
She even forgot that Ning Weimin was beside her for a while, so that the small empty plates placed next to her left hand were stacked higher and higher.
It wasn't until the small plates were stacked to a certain height that they began to show instability, which caught her attention.
After eating happily, she divided the empty plates into two piles. As she was dividing them, she counted them - eleven!
Ouch! I didn’t expect to eat eleven plates!
Looking at the only six empty plates in front of Ning Weimin, it was obvious that he had finished eating.
I actually found that I ate more than a grown man, and almost twice as much, completely breaking my own food intake record.
This made this girl, who had never served more than two ounces of food at home, feel very embarrassed. Unknowingly, she had already stretched out her hand to turn the table and stopped...
Turning around to look over again, Ning Weimin was looking at her with interest and a smile.
Yao Peifang's face burned even more and she retracted her hand immediately.
"What's wrong?" Ning Weimin asked in surprise.
"I think I'm full." Yao Peifang murmured.
"No, just eat a meal today and don't worry about your weight!"
Ning Weimin advised with full encouragement, "Eat it! Eat whatever you like! We didn't order fried food, we only ate these seafood sushi, which has less salt and no oil.
You won’t gain weight. Don’t think of me as an amateur, I won’t trick you. I brought you here to eat sushi because it is better for you to stay in shape than other things.”
Ning Weimin's kind and considerate words really dispelled a lot of Yao Peifang's professional guilt.
However, after eating another plate, Yao Peifang felt that she couldn't eat it anymore, and she obviously felt the dilemma of "big eyes and small belly".
Those small orange balls of fish roe were obviously chewed up just now, but now they are stuck in the throat, unable to go down or come up.
But it's best not to come up.
Yao Peifang thought that if everyone came forward, he would make a fool of himself.
Seeing that Yao Peifang really didn't want to eat anymore, Ning Weimin certainly couldn't force it, so he called the landlady to come over and settle the bill.
The landlady who knows how to do business has a very clear mind and quickly counted the plates.
"Thank you guest, the total is eleven thousand eight hundred yen!"
Ning Weimin was indifferent to this number and did not even raise an eyebrow.
In fact, most of it was consumed by him.
Although he eats little, his demands are high.
Whether he ate it himself or recommended it to Yao Peifang, they were all high-end meals priced at more than 500 yen.
For example, tuna belly fillet costs nearly 1,000 yen per gram for less than 200 grams. You need to order it fresh from the store, as it is not available on the conveyor belt.
Yao Peifang, who was exposed to sushi for the first time, was completely attracted by the conveyor belt. She took it from the top just because it looked pleasing to the eye. Of course, they were all ordinary products with ordinary prices.
Therefore, this number was far beyond Yao Peifang's expectation and left her speechless.
She couldn't imagine how two people could eat so much sushi in one meal.
Eleven thousand eight hundred yen! I can’t be wrong!
This is almost the price of more than twenty bowls of noodle soup.
It was enough for her to eat for more than ten days, but she ate it all in one meal.
She didn't dare to think about it. If she thought about the numbers converted into RMB, those orange balls would roll in her throat.
For this reason, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unfairness.
In Japan, people regard eating in restaurants as a kind of enjoyment and fun.
These rich people who grew up in this country always eat leisurely and do not care about time. Of course, working lunches are not included.
But such a meal is not something ordinary Chinese citizens from the Republic can afford.
I ate up two or three months of my parents’ income with just one meal...
The more Yao Peifang thought about it, the more she felt guilty.
It's not like she hasn't had good meals.
After all, after winning second place in the country, he had participated in several high-end banquets and was a guest at Song Huagui's house several times.
But after all, that kind of situation didn't allow her to know the cost of her meal so clearly when she took out real money.
This kind of intuitive stimulation made her feel that the store was very small, and there were more and more customers. Even the belt that kept running made her feel dizzy.
She couldn't wait for Ning Weimin. Even though she knew she shouldn't, she couldn't help but push open the store door and stand on the street first.
After taking a few deep breaths of outside air, I felt a little better.
Fortunately, she didn't know how much Teresa Teng spent on a meal of puffer fish, otherwise it would have been really difficult to restrain herself.
However, she didn't expect that the stimulation she was going to experience today had just begun, and there would be more to come.
"Okay, now that we've eaten and drank, it's time for us to go shopping."
When Ning Weimin walked out of the store, Yao Peifang thought he should go back to his dormitory, but he didn't want to hear such words again.
"Shopping?"
"Yes. I still need to buy you some clothes."
Such good intentions suddenly raised the young girl's vigilance to the point where she even turned her title into an honorific without realizing it.
"No, no. I'm sorry to ask you to treat me. I really don't need it."
But Ning Weimin's reasons were high-sounding, but they left her speechless.
"Why not? It's necessary for work. In the next few days, we will travel here and there, and we will go to many places with the group. You must have a pair of more comfortable shoes to wear. If you wear high heels, don't worry about your feet. Clothes too
Likewise, it’s too inconvenient and uncomfortable for you to wear a skirt, so it’s better to wear casual clothes. By the way, you also need to buy a hat to protect your skin from the sun. And we also need to buy some cigarettes and alcohol for the group leader, later
I want to ask for leave for you, but there is no reason to come to your door and ask for help empty-handed. Okay, just be obedient."
What happened next made Yao Peifang so dizzy that he couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south.
But she didn't seem to need to be very clear about it, she just had to follow Ning Weimin.
He walked quickly ahead, crossed the road, and entered a very large shopping mall.
And soon he searched according to the picture and found the store they wanted to visit. Ning Weimin went in and first found a place where sports stores were concentrated, and he let Yao Peifang pick out shoes without any courtesy.
Yao Peifang had no choice but to smile, and her smile was very unnatural.
Although she is not an outsider in clothing, most of her relevant professional knowledge comes from magazines and is a matter of paper talk.
These shops in the mall were so high-end that it was the first time for her to be there and have such an intuitive feeling.
Take Adidas, where Ning Weimin took her to choose shoes, for example. It was obviously a high-end clothing store with a spacious store and fashionable decoration.
After a cursory look, Yao Peifang found that all the clothes were priced at more than 10,000 yen. Needless to say, the shoes were as expensive as 100,000 yen.
To be honest, she didn't want to buy it at all. Firstly, she had no money, and secondly, she didn't think it was necessary.
In her opinion, this is completely flashy and advanced consumption, and I'm afraid it won't be of much use except for a few days.
However, Ning Weimin sincerely asked her to choose. From Yao Peifang's point of view, there was simply no room for refusal.
In the end, it was Ning Weimin who forced her to choose a set of orange sneakers with a price tag of 29,000 yen, and a beige baseball cap worth 2,000 yen.
A total of 31,000 yen was spent, and it wasn't over yet. Ning Weimin had to take her to buy clothes.
Yao Peifang was so frightened that she refused to take it. She didn't want to owe so many favors.
However, Ning Weimin did not allow her to refuse, so he paid the bill on his own and persuaded her again.
"I said it's a practical need. Could it be that when you go on stage to perform, you would refuse to go on stage because the clothes you have to wear are expensive? There is no such reason. Show your professional qualities, okay? You are a professional model. Besides,
Well, with your conditions, I'm afraid you will become the darling of international big names in a few years. By then, if our company, Pierre Cardin, asks you to appear on the stage, we will have to pay a big price. Therefore, this kind of popular
You don’t have to care about sports brands. Let me tell you, if you are willing to wear their products, Adidas should feel honored and thank you. If time were not tight, I would go and negotiate for you right now, and maybe I would lose all my clothes.
I can still get endorsement fees..."
Yao Peifang blushed and fumed at Ning Weimin's exaggerated words.
"Manager Ning, what are you talking about? Why are you always making fun of me?"
Ning Weimin responded with a warm smile, "Why are you kidding? A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a girl who doesn't want to be a supermodel and enter the international stage is not a good model. I'm not saying it's impossible.
.Although you did not win the championship in the model competition, to be honest, you probably lost because of luck. It is actually difficult to distinguish between you and Ye Jihong in terms of professional qualifications. In the finals, the subjective factors of the judges may be even greater. If I do
Judges, I will choose you."
"I...I..." Suddenly receiving such recognition, Yao Peifang became inexplicably flustered under Ning Weimin's gaze. She felt a little secretly happy and a little dizzy, so that she could no longer find the right words to say.
explain.
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin understood her thoughts better than she did.
"There is no need to say anything. In fact, I understand your mood. You are a very good girl. You are smart, self-reliant, and know the propriety of interpersonal relationships. I know that you are unwilling to accept unreasonable gifts. I used to know a woman
The same is true for children. She has the potential to be a supermodel like you, but she is very principled in this regard. I think she was raised by me personally, but if I give her a gift, she will still be very nervous and stressed. Please let me know.
I just thought of her. But the overall score situation. I'm not a bad person, I can still be considered your leader. Shouldn't I provide you with work clothes? Your mistake is not to treat this as a personal gift.
, we should treat it as a business matter, okay?"
The effect of these words was obvious. Yao Peifang suddenly felt that his psychological pressure was dissipated and his whole body felt light.
But at the same time, she suddenly realized something.
Hey, he seems to have revealed some great news just now.
Who is the girl he is talking about?
Why does it feel like the relationship between the two people is unusual?
Even his eyes seem to be much gentler...
In short, with Ning Weimin's words and the subsequent expenses, Yao Peifang finally no longer felt like he was incurring more and more debts.
Instead, her mood obviously improved and she regained her lively and smart personality.
As I continued shopping, not only did my enthusiasm for trying on clothes change drastically, but I started to take the initiative to choose things, and even my interest in gossiping suddenly increased.
While trying on clothes and shopping, Yao Peifang also made frequent inquiries about Ning Weimin's past.
So much so that she was so absorbed in shopping and so happy that she almost forgot about time.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon, when Ning Weimin reminded her, that she realized it was time to go back.
Not to mention, when she returned to the station with Ning Weimin, carrying her shopping bags and shopping bags, because the two people's whereabouts were so conspicuous, she became the focus of all the models.
When Ning Weimin went to find the group leader, her teammates completely ignored the impending performance time and stopped taking showers and putting on makeup.
Almost all these little goblins pestered her to ask, who is Ning Weimin? They suspected that she had a boyfriend in Japan.
Needless to say, the result was that Yao Peifang had nothing to hide when faced with what his teammates were most interested in, so he openly revealed Ning Weimin's identity and was only vague about his purpose.
For a time, I gained countless envy and jealousy, which is quite a refreshing feeling.
It has to be said that although these models who have performed abroad have changed one after another, most of the ones here have never seen Ning Weimin.
But the name of Manager Pierre Katonen is well-known in the industry.
As everyone knows, Ning Weimin is a very effective speaker at Pierre Cardin Company, and he is also one of the original designers of the Splendid Oriental Model Competition.
Moreover, she once single-handedly made famous the first-generation domestic competition champion Qu Xiao and the current international supermodel Shi Kaili.
Now, everyone knew that Yao Peifang had good luck.
Some models even said that Manager Ning has a very accurate vision, and whoever wants to gain his attention is likely to become the next supermodel.
The career ceiling will be opened, and maybe I can really go to the international stage.
These words made people think even more, even Yao Peifang was the same, although she kept her excitement in her heart.
But just after she returned to her room and closed the door, she leaned against the door, threw down the things in her hands, closed her eyes and calmed down for a while.
If nothing else, she realized clearly at this moment that the opportunity in life she had dreamed of had really come.
But the question is, can she really catch it?
How can I gain his favor without going overboard?
Is this man really as decent as he appears?
Does he really only value my professional talent and potential as he said?
Suddenly, Yao Peifang seemed to remember something again, ran to the desk and flipped through the magazine on the table.
After a while, she finally found what she was looking for.
It was a "Women's Illustrated Magazine", and in the middle of the magazine there was a page recommending Yamato Kanko's trolley suitcases.
Except for the popular Japanese star Keiko Matsumoto, who was pulling Pierre Cardin’s suitcase.
There was also a Chinese girl with delicate features who looked very much like Sayuri Yoshikawa, and she was pulling a pull-out suitcase.
Yes, this is the industry veteran that everyone knows.
Do I look similar to her?
Yao Peifang, who was deeply puzzled by this, held the magazine in one hand and looked in the mirror, taking a serious look at herself.
