Seeing that neither Gordon nor Liu Fei had any objections, Osnorwood waved his hand with a proud face and said: "Serve."
Soon, more than a dozen waiters each came over holding a tray with four small plates and a small bowl on the tray, and then placed them in front of Liu Fei, Xiao Jianhui and others.
In front of Gordon and Osnorwood, steaks, foie gras and other Western dishes were placed.
Osnorwood looked at Liu Fei with a smile and said: "Dear Mr. Liu Fei, I heard that when you go to inspect, your meal standard for the people below is four dishes and one soup, so today, for the sake of To show respect for some of the rules and regulations you have formulated, I have specially arranged for our most famous chef in Morris to cook the four dishes and one soup for you today. Although these four dishes and one soup look simple, they are It is very particular. All the ingredients are airlifted from your pollution-free vegetable base and wild pig breeding base in China. There are no additives or any residual pesticides. In addition, our top chefs from Morris have their own unique The perspective of combining the top delicacies created by Chinese cooking techniques. The four dishes and one soup in front of you, two meat and two vegetarian dishes. Needless to say the meat dishes, just take out a dish at random, and its price will exceed the price of an entire table. Western food, especially this soup, is made from the finest pearls, jade, white jade and centuries-old soft-shell turtle. It is a great tonic. The name of this soup is Pearl Jade White Jade Soup. This is Please enjoy the most precious food prepared by our top chefs in Morris just for you."
I have to say that Osnorwood's mouth is indeed very powerful. After he boasted like this, it seemed that the four dishes and one soup in front of Liu Fei and the others were so precious. However, at this moment, Liu Fei's eyes had begun to It's getting colder. As an official visiting on behalf of China, although this is the first time Liu Fei officially leads a delegation to visit a foreign country, he has never seen anything like this. You know, when he was young, he also led a delegation to visit a foreign country. When I went to attend an investment promotion conference in New York, even the mayor at that time was very respectful to Liu Fei and the others. But now, the speaker of Morris, a mere middle-class country, only arranged a measly four dishes and one soup, and he still boasted about it. The sky was full of excitement, as if Liu Fei and the others were being treated with some kind of courtesy. How could Liu Fei endure this kind of insult?
At this time, Osnorwood said with a smile: "Dear Mr. Liu Fei, all friends from China, please have a meal. If you have any needs, just tell the waiter and they will take care of it. Well, Mr. Liu Fei, I have one more request. Before you come, the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse and other major news media have contacted me. I hope to be able to interview everyone who is dining and interview you about your dining experience. What do you think of the state banquet of our Morris country? I think you will not refuse it. This is a great opportunity to show the friendship between our Morris country and China."
Hearing what Osnorwood said, Xiao Jianhui's eyes immediately became angry and his fists were clenched.
At this time, Gordon next to him was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He never imagined that the state banquet that he had arranged so well would turn into these four dishes and one soup when the dishes were served. He never expected that, This Osnorwood once again passed over himself and directly issued instructions to the reception department below, especially since this was just four dishes and one soup. Isn't this obviously an insult to Liu Fei and the others? And now this guy actually proposed to let The news media conducted interviews and talked about the friendship between Hua Xia and Morris. Isn't this obviously a double trap set for Liu Fei? No matter whether Liu Fei advances or retreats, everyone will fall into this Osnorwood In the trap, thinking of this, Gordon really wanted to have an attack, but the current situation is quite embarrassing. He wanted to have an attack but had to take into account the feelings of Liu Fei and the others, as well as the face of Morris's entire country, so he could only He held back for the time being, wanting to see if Liu Fei could break Osnorwood's double trap.
At this moment, under the gaze of everyone, Liu Fei just smiled lightly and said: "Okay, since there are news media visiting, let's invite them in. I always like to deal with friends from the news media. Of course, I What I’m talking about is in China, because our Chinese news media are now more and more respectful of reality and truth in their reports. I just want to take a look at the quality of the comrades in Morris’s news media and their reporting attitude. Although I have already I heard that some Western news media tend to distort reality and take things out of context when reporting on other countries, but there are still some media that respect the facts. I also want to see what kind of news media I encounter."
After Liu Fei said these words, not only Osnorwood was a little surprised, but even Gordon was a little surprised, because they didn't expect that Liu Fei didn't refuse the interview, but none of them expected that Liu Fei would not refuse the interview before the interview. , and criticized some foreign news media.
However, Osnorwood simply ignored Liu Fei's criticism, because in his opinion, Liu Fei's criticism had nothing to do with him. All he had to do was to find a way to make Liu Fei look embarrassed. If you want to make China look embarrassed, only in this way can you beg for some money and benefits from your American master.
Soon, at Osnorwood's command, a group of media reporters rushed in from outside the door. After entering, they took pictures of everyone and the dining table.
After everyone calmed down, a reporter from the Voice of America came up to Liu Fei with a microphone and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Liu Fei, I heard that this time you are visiting Morris on behalf of China. "What do you think of Morris's state banquet this time? What do you think of the quality of their food? Is it delicious? How does it taste compared to your Chinese food?" A series of questions, a series of traps, this American The reporters were well prepared and took extraordinary measures.
At this time, facing the lens of the cameraman behind the reporter, Liu Fei just smiled lightly and said: "Comrade reporter, your question is very good, but now I really can't directly To answer you, because up to now, our Chinese delegation has not used chopsticks and has not taken a bite, so we cannot comment on the taste of the food."
The reporter was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said with a smile: "That's very simple. Just taste it. We are all waiting for your answer."
"Yes, Mr. Liu Fei, just taste it and give us an answer." Other reporters also started to make noises. While they were making noises, they all looked at Liu Fei as if they were watching a clown's performance.
Liu Fei naturally understood the performance of these reporters at a glance. As an official at his level, he can often judge a person's psychological thoughts from his expression and tone, because as an official in the officialdom, Liu Fei has great understanding of Psychology is also a very in-depth study. If an official wants to go further, whether he understands it himself or studies for further study, mastering psychology is an indispensable skill. Only the psychology of others can be understood. Only those who have a clearer understanding can make various decisions better, so after listening to these reporters, Liu Fei stood up with a calm smile and said: "Journalists, everyone knows very well , we Chinese are very particular about eating, especially when it comes to dishes. If you don’t understand, I recommend you to watch the documentary "A Bite of China". According to our Chinese tradition , judging whether a dish is good or bad is mainly based on three aspects, that is, color, aroma, and aroma. First of all, you can take a look at these four dishes and one soup. Take a look at this vegetarian fried celery dish. The color is too light. , No, no aroma comes out, No, look at this braised pork ribs, the color is too dark, No, the meat flavor does not come out, No, the other two dishes are not good either, as for this soup , I don’t even want to comment. You may not know that this pearl emerald and white jade soup actually exists as a joke in our Chinese culture. Although this soup contains turtle as an ingredient, it smells bad. It's so disgusting that I have no appetite at all. Of course, as for the last taste, I don't think we people have the appetite to taste it. If all the journalists and friends want to taste it, then we are very welcome." After finishing speaking, , Liu Fei stood up, smiled, pulled the reporter to his seat and said, "Come here, my friend, you can have a taste."
At this time, others followed Liu Fei and stood up and gave up their seats.
After saying that, Liu Fei looked at Zhou Jianlei and said, "Jianlei, are you ready with the instant noodles I asked you to prepare before going out?"
Zhou Jianlei nodded quickly and said: "Well, Secretary Liu, I'm ready, but I didn't choose Master Yong or other brands, because most of those brands are Japanese-controlled, as a conscientious person Chinese people, resolutely boycott Japanese goods and resolutely resist Japan. We must start from me, starting from bit by bit. We must not let the Japanese use the money earned from us Chinese people to build warships and cannons and in turn, To seize our territory in China, the instant noodles I choose are Huaqiang brand instant noodles from Xiao Qiang and his food company Qiangzhe Group. This is a pure domestic instant noodles, non-fried, and does not have any food additives. Although this instant noodle brand is now They are still small and their sales volume is not high, but I strongly agree with their slogan: Chinese people should strengthen themselves."
