Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth taste very good
Regarding Xu Longjiang's invitation, Xue Chen had almost no hesitation and readily agreed. He was still looking forward to the thought of being able to participate in a film shot by Xu Longjiang.
He grew up watching martial arts action movies shot by Xu Longjiang. When he was 17 or 18 years old, he dreamed of playing a positive role in a movie. Unexpectedly, his dream was about to come true!
Xu Longjiang finally told Xue Chen that the script was already available, but it would take at least a month to make preparations before the filming started, so he was told not to worry and just wait for his notification.
On the day he received Xu Longjiang's invitation to make a movie, Xue Chen unexpectedly received a dinner invitation from Andrew.
Shanghai Triumph Hotel, Shanghai.
A silver-gray Aston Martin slowly drove into the parking lot on the right side of the hotel. Although the security guard responsible for guiding the parking was used to seeing luxury cars, he couldn't help but look at such a beautiful supercar at first sight.
As soon as it lit up, I was very envious.
When he saw a young man of a similar age and wearing a gray suit getting out of the car, the security guard secretly said in his heart that he must be the rich second generation of his father.
Xue Chen parked the car, walked straight into the hotel lobby, and took the elevator directly to the banquet hall on the 28th floor. As soon as he appeared at the door of the banquet hall, Andrew, who was wearing a suit and tie, saw him and immediately greeted him.
came out.
"Xue Chen, I'm glad you can come."
"It should be." Xue Chen said with a faint smile. At the same time, he glanced at the banquet hall. There were not many guests, only about thirty people, including Huo Dongting and several senior managers of Shenhong Group.
"Come, let me introduce you to my family and friends." Andrew said enthusiastically.
Under Andrew's guidance, Xue Chen first met Andrew's parents, a middle-aged foreign couple who were chatting with Huo Dongting, and then introduced him to three young men and women who were chatting together.
"Hi, let me introduce to you, this is my new friend, his name is Xue Chen." Andrew introduced to his three friends in English.
For a moment, these three well-dressed foreign men and women with black and white skin all looked at Xue Chen, with different expressions in their eyes.
"Xue Chen, let me introduce to you, this is my best friend Clete." Andrew pointed to a young white man with some freckles on his face and introduced.
"Her name is Connie, she is my cousin." A black girl with many braids gave Xue Chen a kind look.
"His name is Carol, he is a grumpy guy." A young white man almost 1.9 meters tall glanced at Xue Chen.
Andrew gave a brief introduction to the three young men and women gathered together, and then called his assistant Amanda: "Amanda, you come to entertain Xue Chen. I'm going to go to the kitchen now to take a look at the preparations."
How's it going?"
Amanda walked over lightly, and Andrew patted Xue Chen on the shoulder and hurried away.
"Mr. Xue, we met again. I'm really sorry about what happened last time." Amanda stood in front of Xue Chen with a gentle voice.
"Don't worry about the past." Xue Chen waved his hand.
As soon as Amanda appeared, Andrew's two male friends couldn't help but look at her. Amanda was so attractive.
The black knee-length skirt perfectly highlights the exquisite and graceful figure. It is elegant and yet charming. The front chest of the black skirt is also embedded with dozens of diamonds. When it shakes slightly, it flashes under the light.
A little bit of dazzling light echoes the pastel lipstick applied on a pair of thin lips.
"Amanda, we meet again." Clete, a white young man with freckles on his face, looked at Amanda and stepped forward to extend his hand.
"Hi Amanda, you remember me, I'm Carol..."
"Miss Amanda, long time no see." Connie greeted.
Andrew's two male friends were inevitably attracted to Amanda, showing completely opposite attitudes towards Xue Chen, and they were completely enthusiastic.
Amanda chatted briefly with the three people, then turned to Xue Chen and said softly: "Mr. Xue, do you need any drinks? I can get them for you?"
Before he could answer, Xue Chen felt the unfriendly gazes of the two young men from the United States. If he really treated Amanda as a waiter and ordered him to get drinks, he might really arouse public outrage.
.
"Thank you, no need." Xue Chen returned.
Amanda smiled slightly and said to Xue Chen: "These days, I still recall the experience of fishing on the yacht that day from time to time..."
She still clearly remembers the huge sound when the big fish jumped into the air and hit the deck, which shocked her greatly. She had seen big fish fishing before, but this was the first time she had seen such a domineering scene.
Before Amanda could finish speaking, the tall white young man named Carol interrupted with a loud voice: "Amanda, do you like sea fishing? Half a month ago, I caught one on the Atlantic coast.
The fifty-pound Atlantic cod, nearly 25 kilograms, almost broke free from it, but fortunately I caught it. This is the biggest one I caught this year..."
"Fifty pounds?! Carol, you are so awesome, you must have used a lot of strength to catch it." Andrew's cousin Connie praised.
Clete, who had freckles on his face, was not willing to let Carol show off in front of Amanda alone, so he snorted: "I caught a sixty-pound masu tuna last year..."
"Haha, Clete, I know that you once caught a sixty-pound masu tuna, but because no one helped you, you finally had to cut the fishing line and let go of the tuna worth tens of thousands of dollars, right?
"Carol said jokingly with a smile.
Clete's face darkened in displeasure.
Amanda glanced at Clete and Carol who were talking to each other, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, feeling very funny.
At this time, there was a loud noise at the door of the banquet hall. The guests turned around and saw two chefs pushing a four-wheel dining cart with a white tablecloth in. Andrew followed on one side.
What caused the commotion was what was placed on the dining car. The dining table was covered with a thick layer of ice, and on top of the ice was a large fish that had just been slaughtered.
"Wow, what a big fish." Connie exclaimed.
"It's big eye tuna?! It's so big, Carol, it must be a hundred pounds." Clete said in surprise.
Carol looked closely at the bigeye tuna: "One hundred pounds? No! I can guarantee that it is more than one hundred pounds, maybe one hundred and thirty pounds."
Andrew stood next to the stopped dining car, clapped his hands, and said loudly with a smile on his face: "First of all, I would like to welcome all the partners of Shenhong Group, as well as my family and my friends, who have come from thousands of miles away.
Visit me. This 63 kilogram bigeye tuna represents my gratitude. I hope everyone likes it and enjoys it slowly."
Huo Dongting clapped along with the others, and his eyes fell on the big-eye tuna. He had eaten a lot of the most expensive bluefin tuna with the best quality, but this was the first time he had been close to such a big tuna.
Seeing it from a distance, I thought that Andrew had really worked hard for this banquet. He must have spent a lot of energy and money to get this big fish.
"Oh, of course. Finally, I would like to sincerely thank my new friend Xue Chen, because he caught this bigeye tuna alone in the sea with his own hands. It is really amazing and I admire it very much." Andrew
Smiling, he spread out his hand and gestured in Xue Chen's direction.
Swish.
Everyone turned around and looked at Xue Chen with different eyes.
"Huh? Did Xue Chen catch this tuna?" Huo Dongting was secretly surprised. It had to be said that Xue Chen once again impressed him.
Seeing Andrew say that this exaggerated weight of bigeye tuna was caught by Xue Chen, the atmosphere around Xue Chen immediately changed. Just now, Clete and Kai were fighting openly and secretly for the big fish of fifty pounds and sixty pounds.
The expressions on both Luo Er's faces changed, they were full of unwillingness to believe it.
"Oh, you caught this big fish?" Andrew's cousin Connie looked at Xue Chen and asked in surprise.
"I testify that it was indeed Xue Chen who caught it alone. I was on the yacht at the time and saw it with my own eyes." Amanda glanced at Xue Chen and said.
"It's really amazing. I have never seen anyone catch such a big fish. I wish I had been there at that time." Connie said sadly.
The hotel's chef dismembered the big-eye tuna worth hundreds of thousands of yuan on site. In order to maintain the tender meat and the best taste, the belly of the tuna, which has the highest value and the best texture, was made into portions of sashimi.
Then there is the tuna sushi, and other parts are fried and grilled.
A large fish weighing more than 60 kilograms is enough for the more than 30 guests present to feast and enjoy it as they please.
Seeing the guests present enjoying the delicacies made from the freshest tuna, they all showed smiles of satisfaction. Andrew was also very happy to get this tuna, which added the most colorful touch to the banquet, even if
A long time has passed, and the guests present will not forget this banquet, for sure!
When he saw his parents, they also expressed satisfaction.
Xue Chen held a plate of sashimi and some sushi in his hand and tasted it. He was not very interested in this cooking method and was not very used to eating raw food, but he had to admit that this was the best way to experience the big eyes.
How to eat the smooth and tender meat of tuna.
It is not unreasonable for tuna to be so expensive. The soft meat has a faint aroma of oil in the mouth. With a slight sip, the meat melts and is exceptionally tender.
Amanda and Connie also tasted it happily, while the two white young men, Clete and Carol, looked unhappy and seemed very unhappy.
When Andrew came over with a smile on his face, Carol said insinuatingly: "Andrew, we will go fishing on the yacht tomorrow. The tuna here must be more stupid and more numerous than those on the west coast. I think I can also catch one of ours."
