The waiter brought the beer over with a lot of effort, and before the waiter took the bottle starter to open the beer, I saw Rose take out his plastic fan and snap it, and opened all 8 bottles of beer with a few clicks, and the waiter was dumbfounded, and stretched out his thumbs with both hands and said: "Gao, this beauty's beer opening technique is really high, admire, admire." ”
The driver Xiao Zhang was also stunned, Chen Tao saw that the corkscrew of the rose was not inferior to the rose, and said happily to the driver: "Xiao Zhang, how do you see my girlfriend's beer opening technique?"
The driver also gave a thumbs up and said, "High, it's so high, I've never seen it." ”
Chen Tao said proudly: "My girlfriend is stunt, otherwise I wouldn't be able to look at it, driver, don't drink, drink some drinks, and you will drive after eating in a while." ”

Meilian said: "Xiao Tao, I can't drink either, I'll just drink a bottle, just drink as much as you want, don't drink too much." ”
Chen Tao picked up the wine glass and touched Meilian and said, "Meilian, I thank you for coming over to help me this time and being my girlfriend." ”
Meilian took a sip of the wine and said, "Xiao Tao, Brother Feng sent me over, of course I will try my best to help you, not to mention that we are still friends?"
Chen Tao sandwiched a piece of duck meat for Meilian, dipped it in the dipping sauce, put it in Meilian's bowl and said: "Meilian, when we eat, I'll tell you the origin of Quanjude roast duck." ”
Xia Meilian also said happily: "This Quanjude roast duck does taste different and delicious, Xiaotao, if you still know the origin of Quanjude, tell me about it." ”
Chen Tao drank a glass of beer and began to speak: "Quanjude, a time-honored brand in China, was founded in 1864 (the third year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), and the founder of Quanjude is Yang Quanren. When Yang Quanren first arrived in Beijing, he bought and sold raw chickens and ducks in the meat market outside Qianmen. Yang Quanren has a fine understanding of the way of selling ducks, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous. He is frugal on weekdays, and the money he has accumulated is snowballing. Every day when Yang Quanren goes to the meat market to set up a stall to sell chickens and ducks, he has to pass by a dried fruit shop called "Dejuquan". Although the sign of this shop is eye-catching, the business is declining. In the third year of Tongzhi (1864), business collapsed and was on the verge of bankruptcy. The shrewd Yang Quanren seized this opportunity and took out his savings for many years to buy the store of "Dejuquan". Then he invited a talented person who was quite accomplished in calligraphy - Qian Zilong, to write the three big characters of "Quanjude", and made a golden plaque to hang on the lintel. Quanjude hired Master Sun, which is equivalent to mastering all the techniques of roast duck in the hanging oven of the Qing Palace. Master Sun changed the original oven to a hanging oven with a large furnace height, a deep and wide hearth, and a furnace that can roast more than a dozen ducks. The duck roasted by him is beautiful in appearance, plump and full, bright in color, jujube red, crispy skin and tender meat, delicious and crispy, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, and has won the reputation of "Jingshi delicious food, wonderful duck" for Quanjude roast duck. And when he saw the country, our Premier Zhou regarded Quanjude roast duck as a state banquet. ”
Meilian said after listening to Chen Tao: "Xiao Tao, you know so much, I am very happy to accompany you to visit the Forbidden City with me today and invite me to Quanjude to eat roast duck, and I am very happy to be with you, but Xiao Tao, I am not here to visit the capital, I am here to help you open a branch of Tang Mao Ramen Restaurant." ”
The driver, Xiao Zhang, asked puzzledly, "Young Master, what is the situation of the Kaitang Cat Ramen Restaurant that Madame said?"
Chen Tao said to the driver Xiao Zhang: "I came back this time to open a restaurant, and I have joined the main store of Tang Mao Ramen Restaurant, and your sister-in-law came to assist me in opening a branch of Tang Mao Ramen Restaurant." ”
The driver, Xiao Zhang, hugged his fist at Meilian and said, "It turns out that my sister-in-law is here to help my young master, and she is disrespectful." ”
Chen Tao continued: "Meilian, don't worry, I'm not a gentleman, I'm an aspiring person who wants to make a career, you come to the capital for the first time, I'll play with you for two days, and on the third day, I will start to choose an address to plan to open a branch of Tang Mao Ramen Restaurant." ”
Meilian picked up the wine glass and touched it with Chen Tao and said, "Xiao Tao, you are the master, I am the guest, everything is subject to your arrangement, I will do my best to help you." ”
Chen Tao drank all the wine and said, "Sister Meilian, with you by my side to help me, I have infinite strength." ”
Meilian and Chen Tao ate a full meal at Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant, and Chen Tao also drank 7 points of drunkenness. Meilian said: "Master Zhang, you help me help Xiaotao, let's go back." ”
After Meilian and the driver Xiao Zhang helped Chen Tao to the car, Xiao Zhang said, "Sister-in-law, where are we going now?"
Meilian said: "Send us back to Chen Tao's home." ”
The driver agreed and started the Rolls-Royce to drive to Dongcheng District, and the time was not long to drive into the "Jiangnan People" community, the driver Xiao Zhang led Meilian to help Chen Tao stop in front of a 3-story villa, after the driver rang the doorbell, the door opened and a nanny saw that Chen Tao was back and said happily: "The young master is back, who is the woman next to him?"
The driver Xiao Zhang said: "Mama Li, the beauty next to the young master is our young master's girlfriend." Let's help the young master to the house first, the young master has drunk too much. ”
Mama Li and Meilian helped Chen Tao to the bed, and then said to Meilian: "I am the nanny here, my name is Mama Li, you are the young master's girlfriend, then the young master will be supported by you, I will retreat first, if you need anything, you can find me, this is my phone." ”
After Li's mother went down, Meilian brought the decanting soup sent by Li's mother to Chen Tao's bed, and fed it to Chen Tao one by one, when Chen Tao drank a bowl of decanting soup, Chen Tao's wine woke up, Chen Tao opened his eyes and saw Meilian sitting in front of the bed and asked: "Sister Meilian, aren't we drinking in Quanjude? Where is this?"
Meilian smiled and said, "Xiaotao, the driver sent us to your home, this is your home." ”
Chen Tao sat up and looked at his home and said: "Sister Meilian is my home now, you are my girlfriend, and this is also your home, so you don't have any restraints." ”
When Chen Tao and Meilian were talking, an old man in his 50s came in as soon as the door opened, and he was very imposing at first glance, and the old man said, "Tao'er, you're back, why don't you tell me?"
Chen Tao saw the old man come in and said, "Dad, how do you know that I'm back." ”
Chen Tao's father said: "It was Mama Li who told me, by the way, who is this beautiful girl next to you, Tao'er?"
Chen Tao heard his father ask him, so he pulled Meilian's hand and said, "Dad, let me introduce you, she is my girlfriend named Xia Meilian, Meilian has seen my father soon." ”
Meilian said, "Hello uncle. ”
Chen Tao's father looked Xia Meilian up and down and said, "She looks good, she is a beautiful beauty, what do your parents do?"
Xia Meilian said: "My parents are farmers. ”
Chen Tao's face was not good-looking after hearing Xia Meilian say that her parents were farmers, so she turned her head to Chen Tao and said, "Chen Tao, I have something to say to you when you come out." ”
Chen Tao didn't know what was going on, so he walked out of the room and followed his father to his father's room and said, "Dad, what's the matter with you calling me to your room?"
Chen Guodong said angrily: "Tao'er, I have introduced you to many businessmen's daughters, you didn't agree, you went to see your sister this time and only came back a few days ago and brought a girlfriend back, this girl's appearance is very good-looking, but her parents are farmers, our family has been in business for generations, I don't agree with you to associate with this girl, you send her away." ”
After hearing what his father said, Chen Tao said excitedly: "Dad, why are you like this, what's wrong with the daughter of a peasant family? Is it true that my family has been in business for generations, and I have to marry a girl from a business family?"
Chen Guodong said: "Tao'er, why are you so stubborn, you don't have a mother, I'm old, our Yunding jewelry store still needs your management? I let you find a businessman daughter as a wife, so that she can help you, otherwise my Chen 10 billion huge family business will be ruined?"
Chen Tao said: "Dad, you also underestimate your son, I came back this time to tell you that I want to open a ramen restaurant in the capital, I went to this ramen restaurant when I went to City A to eat, and negotiated with them, joined their head office, came back to open a branch in the capital, and the girl I brought back is to help me open a branch." ”
