Chapter 64 Reasons for treating a meal
During the afternoon, there were not many vehicles on the road, so ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at this restaurant called JD Snack. It didn't look very large, but it could only be considered medium-sized. However, the waiter's mental outlook was very good, and the boss also stood at the counter to greet the guests and settled the accounts himself.
After the two of them came in, Ziqi ordered pea yellow and sheep-eyed buns. Fan Wubing was not very hungry, but the amount of lunch on CCTV's box was really small, so she ordered another pot-cold tofu and sesame sauce slices, and casually ordered fermented glutinous rice soup.
"Actually, you can also drink some rice wine appropriately, which is good for your stomach." Fan Wubing ordered another bottle of Shaoxing rice wine and said to Ziqi.
"It's okay, my stomach is not that good. I just need to be hot when eating and don't eat too much greasy food, but I never drink wine." Zi Qi was quite happy to see that Fan Wubing could care about her stomach as soon as possible.
Before the dishes were served, the waiter soaked two cups of chrysanthemum tea and gave them to him. The rock candy chrysanthemums and wolfberry inside looked very pleasing to the eye. After drinking a few sips, it was indeed cooler and quenched thirst.
The weather is getting hotter now, and the weather in Beijing is basically distinct in all four seasons. Spring is drought, summer is hot and rainy, autumn is high and cool, winter is cold and dry; wind direction has obvious seasonal changes, northwest wind prevails in winter, and southeast wind prevails in summer.
It was June, and it was the hottest time. Although I took a bus all the way and didn't do much exercise, Zi Qi's forehead was still covered with sweat. After drinking two sips of chrysanthemum tea, I immediately felt refreshed and more comfortable. So I asked Fan Wubing, "Are you very familiar with Uncle Chen? I saw that you didn't have any taboos when you talk."
Fan Wubing patted his forehead and said with a smile, "Old Chen, I have known him for seven or eight years. It was the first Spring Festival Gala. At that time, they were playing advertisements everywhere. I was an advertiser and I gradually got to know each other."
"Seven or eight years ago, how old were you at that time?" Ziqi was a little unbelievable. Old Chen told her that she and Fan Wubing had the birthday of the same year. Seven or eight years ago, Fan Wubing was eight or nine years old.
Can a child aged 8 or 9 years old talk about advertising business with CCTV people?
"I am a little different from other children." Fan Wubing's face was not red at all, and he bragged himself with a shy face.
"It's indeed a little different." Ziqi smiled with her lips pursed.
Since I saw Fan Wubing, I felt that he was a little different from his peers. Whether it was the content of his conversation with Lao Chen, the mature temperament revealed between his words and deeds, or the big brothers he took out, or even the Mercedes-Benz he drove, they all showed the difference between Fan Wubing and ordinary high school students.
Zi Qi felt that Fan Wubing still had many secrets hidden in him, so she was still very interested in Fan Wubing. In fact, as a high school student who was a temporary host on CCTV, her gossip mentality is also very strong. In this environment, even if she didn’t gossip before, she would gradually gossip through everyone’s influence.
The food was delivered soon. The wine was the old wine from the porcelain jar. Fan Wubing sealed the mud open, then asked the waiter for an alcohol stove, poured the rice wine into a stainless steel basin, and put it on the alcohol stove and started to burn it. Soon, the wine smelled everywhere, and a light blue flame rose on the wine surface, but the alcohol was ignited.
After the yellow wine was gusting, Fan Wubing poured a bowl for Zi Qi first, then poured a bowl for himself, raised it and said to Zi Qi, "Hehe, you and I fell in love with it at first sight, please drink this bowl."
"So many, you will get drunk." Although Zi Qi frowned slightly, she still drank a few sips, feeling a mellow alcoholic spirit surged over her head and felt a heat all over. However, the alcohol content of rice wine is relatively low after all, and it is not as good as it can make people drunk.
Although Ziqi never drinks, she felt that this thing was a bit interesting after taking a sip, so she couldn't help but take two more sips.
Seeing this, Fan Wubing hurriedly persuaded him, "Just drink a few sips. This is an aperitif. Next, you will have an appetite when you eat. With the dishes on the table, you can't get drunk!"
"Ha, it's actually a good idea to try drinking." Zi Qi's face turned red and her eyes softened a lot. She patted her chest and said to Fan Wubing.
"The degree of this wine is relatively low, so you feel comfortable together. If you change to a high wine, it will not be like this at all. However, for men, this kind of rice wine is not very meaningful except for health care." Fan Wubing said to Zi Qi with a smile, and then he asked again, "Did your family never let you drink?"
Ziqi spitted out her pink tongue and grimaced, "In my house, the amount of cola I drink is strictly limited. Fortunately, I can earn some pocket money as a host myself, otherwise I won't have to eat KFC and Coca-Cola."
"I feel that your family's background should be very good." Fan Wubing asked tentatively while holding a full bowl of rice wine while drinking, looking at Zi Qi, who was a little excited because of drinking.
When I saw Zi Qi before, Fan Wubing felt that her behavior was different and had a ladylike temperament. Therefore, I thought that she must be from a famous family and a descendant of a traditional scholarly family. However, from the perspective of Zi Qi being able to serve as a host of a children's program, she felt that her family should not be that stubborn parent system. However, after Zi Qi said this, she felt that her family's rules might not be big, but the family style was relatively tight. It should be a combination of both open and traditional. Is this a family that combines Chinese and Western?
Thinking of Zi Qi, who has been hosting programs since childhood, also speaks very fluent French and German, Fan Wubing asked, "I feel that there are diplomats or something in your family? Otherwise, it will be difficult to cultivate a girl with such an elegant temperament and unconventional temperament."
After hearing Fan Wubing's words, Zi Qi widened her eyes and asked incredible ways, "Did you guessed it or did you know it?" After seeing Fan Wubing shrugging her shoulders innocently, Zi Qi shook her head and said, "If Uncle Chen hadn't told you, then I really would admire you very much."
"Your parents are really diplomats?" Fan Wubing was a little surprised this time. He didn't expect that he could guess so accurately that he could be a Tiekou God in the future. He set up a stall to go to the overpass to make a living. He probably won't have a bad business.
"My father is, my mother is a teacher at the Foreign Languages ​​College, teaching French and German." Ziqi said to Fan Wubing in a low voice, "Actually, my grandfather had been a diplomat before, but he worked in the National Government. He died early, and I had no impression of him. But I have never said this to others. Don't tell others everywhere."
"Don't worry, I'm not a big mouth." Fan Wubing smiled slightly at Zi Qi. Looking at Zi Qi with a rosy face and a little confused look, he felt a little confused. Could it be that my buddy's charm is so great that he even got the future host star who had just met? This is a bit too easy, right?!
However, Fan Wubing was still a little respectful to Zi Qi's family. He was upset when he learned an English by himself. Japanese only knew a few sentences like Yashidie, Yiku, Yitai and Bagayalu. It is hard to imagine that a little girl could learn French and German so well. English is probably a piece of cake for them? Fan Wubing couldn't help but ask, "Sister Ziqi, how many foreign languages ​​do you speak?"
After hearing Fan Wubing's question, Ziqi tilted her head and thought about it and said, "Britain, France, Germany and Japan are OK, Latin can understand a little, Russian can only understand a little, but African can't understand a little, and my father has never been there before."
Oh, when Fan Wubing heard this, he knew that the Ziqi family had a considerable family power in the past, otherwise his father would not have been sent to these developed countries. After all, dealing with these people is different from dealing with black people in African countries. All words and deeds must meet the standards of the upper class. People in these countries also pay more attention to whether a diplomat has a prominent family background. Although the country does not recognize this on the surface, in fact, family background is still very important for a diplomat. Many diplomatic skills are passed down from time to time.
"What do you do at home? It seems to be very rich?" Zi Qi drank some wine and spoke casually. She looked at Fan Wubing curiously and asked.
"Uh, my family?" Fan Wubing scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "My family structure is very complicated. How can I say it? My parents are both public servants of the people, devoted themselves to work, and they are busy with food and sleep, and they can't take care of their son. My sister is a vulgar businessman who is busy with money every day and has no intention of finding a boyfriend. My brother is a marginal person, and I have not seen him for six or seven years. As for myself, I am actually a bit unreliable. She is the kind of person who does whatever she thinks of. She basically has a three-minute popularity when she does things. Whenever she starts, she will leave it to others to do it. Generally speaking, this is the basic situation of my family!"
When Zi Qi heard what Fan Wubing said, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I have never heard anyone introduce her family like this. People try their best to praise her family like flowers. How could you do this in different ways? You are really interesting."
"Haha, it's better to be interesting than to be boring." Fan Wubing made a invitation position and signaled Ziqi to continue eating.
Ziqi seems to like eating pea yellow, and she picked up several pieces of them, and ate them with relish. This pea yellow is cooked and made into bean paste, added sugar and osmanthus, cut into cubes after cold, and put a few slices of honey cakes or small red dates on it. It melts in your mouth. It is a good summer cooling product.
Seeing that Fan Wubing did not move his chopsticks, Zi Qi introduced, "This pea yellow is a traditional summer summer snack in Beijing. It was introduced to the Qing Palace with kidney bean rolls and became a famous imperial meal product. You might as well eat some, it's very refreshing." Then he said, "This sheep-eyed bun is also famous, which was eaten by Emperor Kangxi."
Seeing that Zi Qi was speaking very seriously, Fan Wubing was not embarrassed to give her face, so he ate two pieces of pea yellow and a sheep-eyed bun. It felt quite refreshing, but it was not as good as Zi Qi said. So he picked up the rice wine and said, "Actually, everything in Beijing has basically been eaten by the emperors. Even under the feet of the emperor, even a rag pickup can be obtained. After all, this is the advertising consciousness of the ancients!"
Zi Qi savored what Fan Wubing said carefully and thought it made sense, but she always felt uncomfortable, but she felt embarrassed to refute his face.
So the two of them continued to eat. A bottle of rice wine was probably put into Fan Wubing's stomach. Zi Qi drank a lot. Although she didn't drink too much, she felt a little excited. Both of them were eating very happily.
"I'll pay." While settled the accounts, Zi Qi suddenly suggested. Although she didn't say anything else, her tone showed an unquestionable attitude.
"Hmm?" Fan Wubing was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly, "Is this not appropriate? Why do I say that I am all men? Judging from the common unwritten rules, the first time I treat you to dinner, shouldn't the woman pay?"
