Chapter 128 This person can't be too embarrassed
"You can try our 'five yuan meal' here." The waiter suggested.
"'Five Yuan Meal'? Please introduce it to me." He Ping said politely.
"You can try the Crocodile Beef Bread and Chicken Soup, or the Capital Salad Red Oil Mushroom Soup Grilled Sausage-Sliced Bread, and the Red Stewed Small Sauce Coachman Salad Cream Grilled Mixed Cherry Ice Cream. These dishes are basically out of reach, so they are called five yuan meals."
The waiter is skilled in his business and is very sarcastic when he reports the name of the dish. At the same time, he also explained to He Ping why it is called "Five Yuan Meal".
He Ping looked at Mao Chunhua. She was holding the menu and didn't know what to order, so she said, "Then order two as he recommended."
He Ping said to the waiter: "Please order me the last two sets you said just now."
"Okay." The waiter stepped back.
While waiting for the dishes, Mao Chunhua observed the guests in the restaurant.
"He Ping, look, there are foreigners!"
"It turns out that this place only receives a few foreign affairs personnel and foreign friends, but not domestic customers. It has only started to receive them in the past two years." He Ping said to Mao Chunhua.
"That's how it works!"
The two whispered together, and after a while, the waiter started serving the dishes.
"Chunhua, how about trying the dishes here?"
Mao Chunhua used knife and fork in disguise as He Ping. She tasted the grilled sausage and smiled on her face: "It's delicious!"
He Ping looked at her smiling face and was happier than eating it himself.
While the two were having a meal, He Ping suddenly heard a loud voice, yelling from the door.
He felt familiar when he heard it, and looked in the direction of the sound, but he didn't feel familiar. It turned out to be Jiang Wen, whom he met in Peking Opera before.
There is also an acquaintance beside him - Cong Shan, the heroine of "The Wrangler".
Seeing him turn his head and ask, "What's wrong?"
"People I know."
At this time, Cong Shan also saw him, with a little surprised face, and she walked up to say hello.
"Teacher He!"
"Hello, classmate Cong Shan!" He Ping greeted her and introduced her to her, "This is my wife, Mao Chunhua."
"Chunhua, this is Cong Shan, the heroine of "The Wrangler".
He Ping introduced them to them, and Mao Chunhua greeted Cong Shan, as shy as before.
"Why did you get here for dinner today?"
Cong Shan said shyly: "My classmate Jiang Wen, he said to celebrate the release of my movie and invite me to dinner."
Jiang Wen, who was cueed on the side, immediately greeted He Ping with a smile, "Hello Teacher He! Hello, Master He!"
This kid is really shameless!
But if he reached out and didn't hit the smiley person, He Ping smiled and said, "Hello, classmate Jiang Wen, we're meeting again."
When Jiang Wen saw that He Ping still remembered him, he immediately climbed along the way, "It's such a fate, Teacher He. Otherwise, let's have dinner together today."
He Ping looked at Mao Chunhua and then at Cong Shan, "Forget it, it's not convenient today, next time."
He Ping refused simply, Jiang Wen felt a little regretful, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all. He was just like that.
Cong Shan said: "Teacher He, then I won't disturb you and your lover's meal."
"Okay, next time I have the chance to invite you and Lao Mao to have a meal alone."
Cong Shan and Jiang Wen were led to another table by the waiter.
Mao Chunhua asked, "Why do they call you Teacher He?"
"I didn't help director Xie Jin adapt the script before, and helped cast the role. When I went to the Peking Opera to interview them, I called the teacher. The young man was not familiar with me, so I met him. Cong Shan was a little familiar with me, and I also told her the script to the male protagonist Zhu Shimao at that time."
Mao Chunhua said "Oh" and said unintentionally: "This little girl looks so beautiful!"
He Ping was instantly alert, "Does it look good? I think it's average, I have a bun-shaped face. When Director Xie Jin chose her, I was not very satisfied."
When Mao Chunhua heard his words, he smiled, "Why did you say that, the little girl looks pretty?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's good to look good if you say it's good."
"That boy grew up so old, Cong Shan also said he was her classmate."
He Ping joked: "This kid has a face that is 20 years old and has a wide range of acting in the future."
Whether in later generations or now, he was quite disgusted with Jiang Wen's character, and he always had an inexplicable sense of superiority, but it did not prevent him from appreciating some of his traits.
For example, funny, shameless, talent in drama.
The two continued to eat.
On the dining table on the other side, Jiang Wen, who had spent a lot of money, finally revealed his true face. "Cong Shan, Director Xie had promised me to play the male lead in his next drama. When you see Director Xie, please remind me, I'm afraid he will forget."
Originally, Jiang Wen wanted to treat her to a meal, and Cong Shan was still in a dilemma, but when Jiang Wen said that it was to celebrate the release of her movie, she was unable to refuse for a while, so she agreed.
As a result, as soon as the wine and food were served, she was about to eat it, and Jiang Wen saw it, which made her lose interest in the dishes that were originally delicious.
It’s just someone who says it, but you still take it seriously, Cong Shan murmured.
"Okay, next time I look at Director Xie, I will definitely say to him."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Jiang Wen said happily to Cong Shan: "Come on, eat vegetables, Lao Mo is quite expensive, and he has to make a living. It's a pity that their silver tableware."
Cong Shan came to Lao Mo for dinner for the first time. I don’t know where Jiang Wen’s sigh came from, so she buried her head in eating vegetables.
"Hey, by the way, Cong Shan. Are you quite familiar with that Teacher He?" Jiang Wen asked her.
"I'm not very familiar with it. I saw it during the audition, and then I told us the script at the guesthouse." Cong Shan was afraid that Jiang Wen would have something wrong, so she hurriedly left it clear.
Jiang Wen is more furious than a monkey, "Don't deceive me. He just invited you to have dinner with 'Lao Mao'. I know that he is the male protagonist of your movie. Do you still say you are not familiar with him?"
Cong Shan was exposed by Jiang Wen and said stubbornly, "I just politely treat you, and you can't take it seriously."
"I don't believe it, you just don't want to help. Alas, I'm so happy to release your movie. I spent more than a month on food to treat you to dinner, so you treated me like that." Seeing that Cong Shan didn't submit, Jiang Wen started to play moral kidnapping.
Cong Shan is not his opponent. Jiang Wen couldn't stand it anymore after being squeezed by a few words, "It's not that I don't want to help, I'm just, I'm just..."
"What are you just?"
Cong Shan racked her brains and felt that she would definitely not be able to beat Jiang Wen. She said dejectedly: "Forget it! If you have dinner with him next time, I will call you."
Jiang Wen's mournful face immediately shone brightly, and he picked up food for Cong Shan: "Come on, eat more, look at you, you're too thin."
Cong Shan looked aggrieved and helpless, why did I get into such a shameless classmate?
