Chapter 271 Eat Roast Duck and Visit the Forbidden City
Although these things had been explained very thoroughly by Harrison and Pavey, Hong Tao was determined not to translate their remarks to Boss Liu, and even shamelessly translated the two comments into questions, so that Boss Liu could hear them again
After some explanation, among this group of people, only Boss Liu is high-end and classy, while the others are just rustics and peasants.
Among these people, except Hong Tao, only Irene can understand both Chinese and English. At first, she planned to interrupt and correct Hong Tao's wrong translation, but at this moment, Hong Tao would pat her head and ask her to listen humbly.
As Boss Liu explained, Irene gradually understood what Hong Tao was doing, so she kept silent.
Boss Liu was very proud today. He brought a group of Chinese and foreign people around the two cars and commented non-stop. Whenever he was about to run out of words, Hong Tao would make a more pointed comment at the right time.
question, and then Boss Liu fell into an even more excited explanation.
There is not much space in the alley. Once these two cars parked, the entire alley was blocked for most of the time. It could accommodate at most three cars traveling together. When cars came, they had to take a detour. Soon, people in the alley also discovered this.
Two huge cars parked at the entrance of the alley ran out to watch the fun.
Soon, the entrance of the alley became a small gathering. Dozens of people, including adults and children, gathered around the RV, curiously observing the two strange large cars and listening to where Boss Liu was living in vain. Finally,
It also attracted many passing tourists.
Finally, a phone call interrupted Boss Liu's speech. The foreman at Qianmen Roast Duck Restaurant couldn't wait any longer. He had to call to ask if the private room that Boss Liu had reserved was still in use. If not, he would have to sell it to other customers.
, I wouldn’t be able to stand in a latrine like this and not take a shit.
"Oops. You're so verbose. I don't know what time I'm going to eat. I've paid for the private room and food for you. Even if I don't eat a bite, this private room must be reserved for me. What's wrong!!!
"Boss Liu hung up the phone very domineeringly. The old man was speaking in a lively manner, and there were so many people around him who were eager for knowledge. Such a good atmosphere was ruined by this little foreman with just one phone call. It was so incompetent.
Got it!
"Uncle Liu, it's almost 1 o'clock. Why don't we go eat first? You see, Pawei is so hungry that he is sweating. Maybe he will suffer from hypoglycemia again and he will be in trouble." Hong Tao's ears are about to grind.
After coming out of his cocoon, Pawei had long been clamoring about whether it was time to go ducking. In the end, Hong Tao translated everything into curious questions about the two cars. The fat man was so anxious that he circled around the car.
"Oh, yes, blame me, I forgot to look at the watch. Come on, hurry up, Liu Gang! You're a naughty kid who only knows how to eat and doesn't know how to look at the watch! You little naughty kid. You can eat noodles at home. I'll take you out with you.
It’s embarrassing.” Boss Liu also realized that he was a little obsessed. However, this responsibility cannot be shouldered by the leader. He needs someone who can stand up to the thunder.
At this time, Liu Gang just handed the teapot that had just been filled with hot water to Boss Liu for the nth time. Boss Liu looked at it and said, no one is suitable, but you! A roast duck meal turned into noodles in an instant.
However, Liu Gang seemed to be used to being scolded by Boss Liu, or he really loved noodles, so he happily agreed and ran back to the small courtyard to prepare lunch for himself.
"Hey, I... this coward... let's go, Hong Tao, you ask everyone to get in the car and ignore him." Boss Liu originally said this, and then waited for Liu Gang to admit his mistake, and then the matter was over.
, who knew that this Liu Gang was so stubborn that he would just leave his grandfather here like this.
It was almost 1:30 when everyone found the roast duck restaurant at the front door. Pawei's eyes were so hungry that his eyes turned green. No matter what dish was served, he would be the first to scoop some onto his plate with a spoon, and then lower his head to eat.
.Others were not much better. Harrison was not used to using chopsticks, so he asked the waiter for a fork and knife. However, he found that he still couldn't handle all the dishes. He finally had to get started and ate a squirrel mandarin fish like a fish.
It's like picking meat with your hands.
To say that these people who grew up eating meat have an extraordinary appetite, there are only 6 people in total, and they actually killed 3 roast ducks. Only Irene and Old Gale learned from Hong Tao to wrap the roast duck with pancakes, shredded green onions, and sweet flour sauce.
Pawei and Harrison simply created a new way to eat roast duck. They asked the waiter for two plates of shredded onions, and then each had a plate of duck meat. They poured the sweet bean paste on top, and then mixed with shredded onions. It was delicious.
A fragrance.
Hong Tao felt nauseated as he watched these two foodies eat. They would definitely not let anything with meat in it. As long as it was vegetables, even if it was put in front of them, they would not touch it.
Don't look late, this meal was eaten very quickly. Before 2:30, most of the meat and vegetables on the table were gone. Because I ate so fast, I didn't even have time to drink the white wine. Now, except for Irene, the other
The three of you are already full-bellied, so why not drink?
After the meal, Hong Tao made a suggestion, don't go home at all. It's relatively close to the Forbidden City. Let's visit the Forbidden City and ** Square by the way. This is also to let Pawei and the others digest their food. After eating so much meat, they can go back to the small town.
If you sit in the courtyard, you might get gastrointestinal problems.
This suggestion was supported by Pavey and Harrison. The two were in high spirits. After eating and drinking, it was also a good pleasure to visit the palace of the Chinese emperor.
"How many sons does your emperor have? How many houses do they live in as a family?" Old Gale, Pavilion and Harrison are all blind in China. Before this, they had at most been to Hong Kong, China. So after seeing
After seeing the majestic Forbidden City, the first question is how many people there are in the emperor's family.
"He has dozens of wives and a lot of children, each with a dozen servants, so the population is still very large, and this is the same as the White House in the United States. The big palace in the front is used for offices and meetings, and the back is a place for offices and meetings.
It's where the emperor and his family live." Hong Tao was not very proficient in history, so he could only give a rough explanation in words they could understand.
"Being an emperor is also very hard. I've just walked halfway and I'm a little tired. The emperor of your country has to walk such a long way to get off work every day. It's not easy." This is Gale's feeling. For an emperor,
For people who don't understand Eastern culture, they can't feel the crystallization of the people's wisdom in the Forbidden City. All they see are the most superficial and simple things.
"Your emperor must be a good hunter. I have lost my way here, and I still have a compass on my watch. Everything here looks the same. Was it intentionally designed like this when it was built? It was used as a
A means of defense?" Harrison looked at his watch and wrote and drew on the ticket in his hand, but when he entered the back garden, he gave up this effort and admitted his failure.
"It should be so. This is not only the residence of the emperor, but also the last fortress of the country. In ancient China, coups often occurred." Hong Tao really admired the Canadian Army officer's imagination, but he himself could not answer Harrison's questions.
, I had no choice but to follow what he said.
"It's so smart. If I lead a company to attack here, without heavy fire cover, I can at most occupy the big palace over there, and I won't be able to move forward anymore. There are too many blind spots." Harrison was very satisfied with his judgment ability.
, pointing to the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Shit, when there was an emperor here, our ancestors were still fighting the Indians. If a company of Indians defends this place, you can't even get through the gate with a company of fusiliers, so they will be shot to death.
Outside the red wall." Pawei began to argue with Harrison again. Even though the fat man looked rude, he was still very attentive. He had read the introduction to the Forbidden City several times, and at least he understood the era.
.
"You damn fat man finally got one thing right. At least I can't open that door. Without explosives, it's really strong. Look, it's so thick!" Harrison said in a rare disagreement.
Pawei protested and was walking through a doorway. He patted the heavy door and made a strategic assessment. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
