When Ding Qiunan heard Yan Bugui's voice, she realized her gaffe and hurriedly separated from Li Donglai. Her face was as red as a monkey's ass and she just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Li Donglai glanced sideways at Yan Bugui: "Old comrade, you are so polite."
Yan Bugui chuckled: "Master, I am an old teacher, so of course I am polite."
.....It is impossible to communicate with someone who likes to act stupid.
Li Donglai covered his forehead and asked: "If you don't watch the excitement in front, what are you doing backstage?"
"Um, sir, can I, can I medal silently?" Yan Bugui rubbed his hands, his eyes shining: "I heard that thing is pure gold... You may not know, I am very fond of pure gold.
I’m most interested in gold things.”
Interested? Li Donglai looked at Yan Bugui, full of doubts in his heart.
This Yan Laojie has always been only interested in money, is he planning to...
Li Donglai glared at Yan Bugui and said, "Old Yan, don't be ridiculous. The gold medal will be displayed everywhere after returning to China."
"...I just want to take a few bites. I heard...pure gold things are soft." Yan Bugui put his hands behind his back and walked away, chattering endlessly.
Ding Qiunan looked on and was dumbfounded: "Brother Donglai, the third uncle doesn't really want to bite off a piece of the gold medal with his teeth, does he?"
"This... I can't say for sure."
If it were anyone else, Li Donglai would definitely have felt that he had done something stupid like that.
However, for a Yan Bugui who has the same size feet as your shoe size, it is really possible.
"Pfft..." Ding Qiunan couldn't help laughing: "Yan Bugui is really interesting."
The two were chatting, and Shazhu followed Yu Juhua from outside. Shazhu clasped his hands and bowed to Li Donglai: "Brother Donglai, thank you so much. You allowed me, He Yuzhu, to be able to show my face in front of the whole world.
Show your face. Maybe, maybe my dad is sitting in front of the TV and when he hears my name, he will take the initiative to come back to the capital to find me."
After Sha Zhu married Yu Juhua, he went to Baoding City to look for He Daqing based on the clues provided by Li Donglai.
But the strange thing is that He Da moved away from there early in the morning and disappeared without a trace.
Li Donglai didn't have a good impression of He Daqing. Can a person who can abandon his child and elope with a widow be a good person?
Originally he didn't intend to care about this matter, but later in the case of the deaf old lady, Li Donglai discovered the shadow of He Daqing behind it, and then related to the plot in the original work, Li Donglai felt that He Daqing might have a big problem.
He Daqing was a team leader in the canteen of the steel rolling mill. His monthly salary was more than 40 yuan, and he had a deaf old lady to help him in the courtyard. His life was extremely comfortable.
Even if he likes White Widow, there is no need to give up his job, abandon his two children, and go with White Widow to the unfamiliar city of Baoding.
In this era, it is difficult for a person to live in a strange city if he does not have a legal identity and no financial resources.
Unless someone prepared for him in advance and forged a new identity.
Baoding is only a few hundred kilometers away from Beijing, and it only takes a morning by train.
However, He Yuyu got married, Shazhu got married, and He Daqing didn't come back.
It can only explain that He Daqing did not dare to come back, or someone did not want him to come back.
That person is probably the deaf old lady.
Of course, all this was hidden from Shazhu.
Silly Zhu has a fiery personality. If he knew that He Daqing might be a chess piece arranged by the deaf old lady, who knows what trouble would happen.
In the past, Silly Zhu thought he was the grandson of the deaf old lady. After Silly Zhu married Yu Juhua, because Yu Juhua didn't want to see the deaf old lady, the relationship between Silly Zhu and the deaf old lady is now somewhat estranged.
However, because of so many years of love, the deaf old lady still has a place in Shazhu's heart.
When Li Donglai heard Sha Zhu mentioning He Daqing again, he chuckled and did not answer.
Yu Juhua rolled her eyes: "If He Daqing doesn't explain clearly what happened in the past, I won't let him enter our house."
Silly Zhu thought Yu Juhua was angry with He Daqing, so he quickly explained: "Although my father left back then, he still didn't forget He Yuyu and I and sent money back every month."
Yu Juhua originally wanted to break up with Shazhu, but when she saw Li Donglai shaking his head, he realized that it was not the right time to talk about these things now.
"Okay, today is Brother Donglai's happy day, so let's not talk about this anymore."
"well."
Silly Zhu was also afraid that Yu Juhua would be angry, so he quickly brought the topic to the dinner party.
"Brother Donglai, I heard that there is a royal dinner tonight. I wonder what level the cooks are?"
This question is not difficult for Li Donglai. In his previous life, he had attended foreign banquets several times.
“Different from our country, foreign cuisine is all about Western food, and chef professional qualifications are divided into five levels.
Level five is the lowest and level one is the highest. They are level five (junior chef), level four (intermediate chef), level three (senior chef), level two (technician), and level one (senior technician)."
"You can tell the level of a chef based on the height of his hat. The higher the chef's hat, the higher the level."
Silly Zhu was stunned when he heard this, and he clicked his tongue twice, "Foreign chefs really know how to play! If I have a chance, I will also make a hat and belt."
While the two were talking, a group of people came from outside. When Comrade Zhou saw the people coming, he quickly approached Li Donglai and explained in a low voice: "Comrades from the foreign affairs department are here."
When Li Donglai came to Stockholm, he had met comrades from the foreign affairs department, but he did not recognize the person who came here. Judging from the person's tunic suit and elegant temperament, he should be the head of the department.
Comrade Zhou explained firmly from the side: "He is the comrade stationed in Europe, Comrade Liu Chunyuan."
.....Li Donglai then remembered that China had not yet established formal relations with this country.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Chunyuan stretched out his hand from a distance: "Comrade Donglai, congratulations, congratulations! On behalf of the above, I would like to express my appreciation for your achievements and performance at the award ceremony."
Comrade Zhou frowned cryptically, and Liu Chunyuan actually called Li Donglai by his first name... It seemed that Li Donglai's importance had increased again.
Seeing Liu Chunyuan's enthusiasm, Li Donglai had a problem with how to address him.
It would be disrespectful to call someone by their first name.
Calling him Comrade Liu seems a bit alienating.
.....
In the end, Li Donglai enthusiastically held Liu Chunyuan's hand and said with a smile: "Leader, I am deeply honored that you can come. The speech at the award ceremony was from the bottom of my heart and should not be praised."
"Well, neither arrogant nor impetuous, no wonder he can achieve such great results." Liu Chunyuan nodded appreciatively.
...
After the two chatted for a while, Liu Chunyuan still had official business to deal with, so he left early.
Li Donglai breathed a long sigh of relief as he watched a group of people leaving around him.
Liu Chunyuan's rank is far higher than that of Comrade Zhou, and it is a positive sign that he can take a plane to congratulate him.
So many years of hard work have finally paid off.
Silhu and Yan Bugui were dumbfounded. Although they did not know Liu Chunyuan's identity, they could get a glimpse of it from Comrade Zhou's attitude towards Liu Chunyuan and the four or five guards following Liu Chunyuan.
When the figures of those people disappeared at the door, Shazhu couldn't help swallowing and whispered: "Lao Yan, that person just now can't be..."
Yan Bugui glared at him: "Don't say anything."
.....
The dinner went as smoothly as Li Donglai expected. Although there were only three dishes in the evening and the quantity was not large, they all used the best ingredients in the world.
The first dish is Sweden's top caviar, each piece is very fresh, and there are cucumbers, kohlrabi, and radishes on the side.
Silly Zhu looked at the exquisite arrangement and said a little speechlessly: "To be able to arrange the fruits in this shape, those foreigners have also put in a lot of effort."
Li Donglai chuckled: "Western food is more particular about appearance. Placing dishes of this level will take at least 4 or 5 hours."
"..." Silly Zhu couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Yan Bugui heard the conversation between the two, looked at the caviar on the plate, and curled his lips with disdain: "This thing is not as delicious as the stewed elbow... How can foreigners eat these weird things?"
Caviar is a pickled product of sturgeon eggs. It tastes slightly fishy in the mouth and is salty, so it may be difficult for Chinese people to accept it.
No wonder Yan Bugui looked down upon it so much, but when the second dish was served, Yan Bugui immediately became excited.
“Roast duck! I didn’t expect to be able to eat roast duck here!”
Yes, the main course of the Nobel dinner was roast duck, but it was different from the old Beijing roast duck in China. Sweden’s unique black chanterelles were added to the duck meat. The pastry was combined with the meat filling, and you could chew it and enjoy the crispiness.
The wonderful combination with the soft meat and the smoky smell of the roast duck itself give the roast duck a unique flavor.
Li Donglai and Ding Qiunan both had their mouths full of oil.
What made Li Donglai even more excited was that at the end of the dinner, a plate of ice cream was served.
According to the waiter, this ice cream is made from Swedish wild raspberries that matured at different points in time, and is also added with a unique raspberry mousse, which is smooth in the mouth and has a sweet taste.
In this era, due to the scarcity of supplies and raw materials for making ice cream in China, ice cream was rarely seen on the market.
This is the first time Ding Qiunan has eaten it, and he eats it like a child eating old popsicles for the first time.
.....
After a banquet, the guests and the host had a great time. When they returned to the hotel, the residents of the courtyard were still talking about it.
Yanbu Gui Noodles brings back memories: "The roast duck tastes really good, about the same as Quanjude's. But the level of the blowing is too low, you can't even hit the high notes, it's like you haven't eaten enough."
.”
"That's a piano concerto played by the Royal Orchestra. The melody is relatively gentle." Comrade Zhou couldn't help but cover his forehead. Fortunately, Lao Yan remembered the instructions at the dinner and did not judge rashly when he encountered someone he didn't understand.
Otherwise, you will lose face.
"Obviously he is not as good at blowing the trumpets as we are in the capital, so we can't say that." Yan Bugui shook his head in annoyance.
A burst of cheerful laughter burst out from the surroundings, and the residents applauded Yan Bugui.
Seeing this situation, Comrade Zhou could only turn to Li Donglai for help.
These days, as residents become more familiar with foreign countries, they become more and more courageous and begin to disobey the regulations.
Li Donglai chuckled: "This kind of literary and artistic matters are all very subjective, and there is no distinction between good and bad. Our domestic trumpet instruments are no lower than the piano concerto. Just because the other party is a royal orchestra, we can't force you not to appreciate it.
Their people praise them against their will. Whether it is a trumpet or a piano concerto, the one that suits you is the best. We cannot blindly agree with others just because they have loud voices, we must bravely promote our own characteristics."
"Yes...brother Donglai is right! Take sashimi as an example, it's not as delicious as the braised big carp in our hometown!" Silly Zhu was the first to agree.
"That's right. I used to hear other people say how good things are abroad. But now that I've come out, I realize that it's better to live in my own home." The residents also nodded.
Comrade Zhou did not expect that Li Donglai would use the topic to his advantage and take the opportunity to teach the residents an ideological lesson.
But this is just right, so that he won't have to do detailed work one by one after returning.
The night is dark.
After chatting with the residents for a while, and considering that he would attend a press conference tomorrow, Li Donglai took Ding Qiunan back to his room early.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Li Donglai was awakened by Ding Qiunan. He rubbed his eyes: "Qiunan, what are you doing?"
Ding Qiunan walked in holding the clothes and said with a smile: "I'm going to iron your clothes. Don't you have to attend the press conference today? I heard that there are reporters from all over the world participating there. You can't be embarrassed."
"Of course." Li Donglai yawned and got up.
In the morning, it was corn noodle porridge, plus a steamed bun and a plate of pickles.
In the first days after arriving in Stockholm, Li Donglai asked the hotel to prepare food such as toast, omelettes, and milk because he missed the meals of his previous life.
After eating a few meals, he found that his stomach couldn't bear it, so he switched to eating in the old capital.
After eating, Comrade Zhou, who had been waiting outside for a long time, opened the door and came in, handing Li Donglai a letter.
"This was sent by a reporter who is close to us. According to him, reporters from Shameless News Agency are planning to attack you at the press conference."
"Shameless Society? I remember that reporter Mike who made the trouble, is he from Shameless Society?" Li Donglai took the letter and read it again, frowning slightly.
"Yes, Mike and his colleagues have been imprisoned in the police station for deliberately causing trouble and the Nobel Prize Committee vigorously protested." Comrade Zhou said solemnly: "I thought the reporters at Faceless Society would learn a lesson from this.
Who knew they didn't have any selfish motives?"
"Oh, he is a reporter, we can't hide from him." Li Donglai patted Comrade Zhou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Old Zhou, I am very good at dealing with those reporters."
good?....
Comrade Zhou was stunned for a moment. He seemed not to remember that Li Donglai had any experience in receiving reporters.
But this is not the time to think about this. It is always a good thing that Li Donglai is confident.
