834. A piece of beef

At the banquet, the men and women were staggered, and they were happy.

How to contradict in private, that is their own privacy, on the surface, everyone looks harmonious and friendly, and in private, that is everyone's own problem.

Zhou Fangyuan followed Li Zairong, and after a short meeting with these three generations in the top circle of Nanxian, he returned to Han Jiaren's side.

Han Jiaren's status here is a little low, although the other female guests didn't take into account Zhou Fangyuan's face, they didn't really isolate Han Jiaren aside. But she still felt out of place with them, and the smiles on her face were fake.

Truth be told, that's what makes a good adult.

Many times when we watch TV, variety shows, and talk shows, some young guests either behave very kawaii, or act silly and funny, and feel very simple and innocent, special, and inconsistent with this society...... Actually, no, it's all a character design, turn your head, but any person whose growth trajectory can be called normal, is it possible? Still so naΓ―ve when he was in his thirties or even forty years old? Innocence is purely a vision for everyone's good, so some people deliberately give themselves such a persona, so that they can attract fans.

Fans, just take a look, if you really want to be a real ...... That's not naΓ―ve, that's completely stupid.

Han Jiaren is too, in front of others, he is always that gentle, considerate, and weak. But in fact, this woman is also a person, she also has her own ideas, she also has her own likes and dislikes, but she will not write her feelings on her face because she doesn't like it, but will be vain and wrong, and make an adult look like she should be.

This is normal, or correct.

The banquet lasted for more than two hours, and the main content was to introduce Zhou Fangyuan to everyone and pave a way for Yuanfang Group to enter Nanxian.

The purpose was achieved, and for the rest of the time, everyone gathered into small groups and chatted about their relatively private topics. Li Zairong and his wife basically followed Zhou Fangyuan throughout the whole process. After waiting for Lin Shiling to take Han Jiaren on the way, Li Zairong took a glass of wine, walked to the edge of the banquet hall with Zhou Fangyuan, opened the door, and came to the balcony.

"As far as I know, Mr. Zhou, you shouldn't be married yet. ”

Li Zairong took out a cigarette, gave one to Zhou Fangyuan, then lit it and asked.

"I'm still young, I'm only in my twenties this year, and I can play for a few more years. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"Yes, looking at you, I have to feel that I am old. Mr. Zhou, do you know, at home, my father is very much in favor of the development direction of your Yuanfang Group, in this era of intertwined large consortia, the Internet is the best opportunity for emerging consortia. It's uncertain what other companies are doing at the moment, but the potential shown by Yuanfang Group has exceeded all of our expectations. ”

"Oh, Mr. Li really said that? Haha, then I'm a little ashamed, I just have some achievements, and I don't deserve such a big compliment. ”

In fact, it is completely deserved, but humble!

"What do you think of our Nanxian woman?"

Lee Jae-yong's words suddenly changed.

Zhou Fangyuan was a little caught off guard, and subconsciously, he looked at the other party blankly.

"Don't look at me like that, in fact, I have done research, speaking of which, the status of women in Huaxia is now high, but I have to say that the temper is also big. In our Nanxian, although girls also have a pungent side, as long as they get married, out of 10,000, 9,999 will become very gentle and take care of the family. Mr. Zhou, your career is so big, I think you also need a warm harbor to let yourself get a full rest. Anyway, you're not married, so why don't you think about our Nanxian girl? If you want to, Mr. Zhou, I can help you get in touch with it, just these girls at today's banquet, don't look at them when they don't seem to react to you, it's all pretended, in fact, long before you came, they asked me more than once about you, which shows that everyone still has a good impression of you, how about it, think about it?"

I think about it very much, and the magic power actually started the matchmaker business in Rong Ou, but Zhou Fangyuan didn't think much about it, just chuckled and shook his head.

"Mr. Li, you are too worried, I am still young, and it is not yet time to think about what kind of issues, if there is a necessary opportunity in the future, maybe I will consider it, but in Russian now, I'm sorry, I still decided to wait a few years before talking. ”

No matter what kind of open couple he is in, getting married anyway, is not in his consideration at all. Even if you have to think about it, it's at least ten years later, and in recent years, his task is to play when he's old and can't play anymore, and it's not too late to think about the real thing.

After the banquet, everyone left the villa together.

Zhou Fangyuan followed Han Jiaren home, and Han Jiaren has now bought his own house in Seoul. A small apartment, but although the sparrows are small, they are all in Russia, and Fang Yuan didn't eat a bite at the dinner last week, just drinking, and his stomach was a little uncomfortable at this time.

"I'll fry you a few pieces of beef. ”

Han Jiaren took off her coat, put on an apron, and went into the kitchen.

So either Zhou Fangyuan is very satisfied with her? The girls in China, especially the youngest generation, know too little and too little, and they also call it equality between men and women, and it would be nice if they were really equal, but what is actually it? When it is beneficial to themselves, the equality between men and women is taken out, and when it is not good for themselves, they never mention equality between men and women again, and they put themselves in the position of a disadvantaged group...... What else can you say? You can't say anything, just accept the reality.

After a while, the beef was fried, and several square pieces of beef were slightly charred on the outside, but soft and tender on the inside, and the meat was full of juice.

"Hmm, it tastes good, what kind of beef is this?"

Zhou Fangyuan took two bites, felt very good, and asked subconsciously.

"It's Hangyu, my mother knows you're coming, and what she prepared in advance is the highest grade Hanbou. ”

Hangeok, as the name suggests, is the beef produced here in Nanxian, and the price is very expensive, which is one of the high-end beef.

Speaking of which, I have to digress a word.

There has always been a saying in China that ordinary people can't afford to eat beef in Fusang and Nanxian. This sentence is true, but there are some doorways in it. First of all, this beef is exquisite, a kilogram of high-quality Korean beef costs more than 1,000 yuan, and the price is staggering, and it is natural that the people are reluctant to eat it.

In fact, this kind of statement has not been circulated much in the early years, but with the continuous development of the Internet, the living standards of domestic people have been continuously improved, and everyone has been exposed to more and more information. At the same time, as one of the few developed countries in Asia, Nanxian has a prosperous economy and a fruitful cultural export, attracting many domestic students to study abroad in recent years, and the exchanges between the two peoples are getting closer and closer. This rumor is only starting to get worse: "Nanxian people can't afford to eat beef!"

This can make many Chinese people feel extremely happy, our country's per capita income is still a big gap from Nanxian, we can afford to eat beef, why can't Nanxian people afford to eat it? Are Nanxian people really rich or fake rich? Nanxian people can't afford to eat beef, this is not groundless. In many Korean dramas, beef is a very expensive gift, and people usually buy it only on major holidays. There was such a plot in the Korean drama "Yellow Handkerchief", where the mother-in-law reprimanded her daughter-in-law who wanted to drink beef bone soup: "How can you eat beef bone soup in ordinary times, you don't eat it until the holidays!"

Many Korean stars have also mentioned in variety shows or TV series that beef is too expensive to eat, which has left a deep-rooted impression on many domestic fans: art comes from life, and Nanxian people must not be able to afford to eat beef at ordinary times. However, if we walk into the supermarket of Nanxian, we will find that the price of tender and delicious Australian fat cattle is only 60 or 70 yuan a kilogram, which is really a drop in the bucket for Nanxian people with a per capita annual income of nearly 30,000 US dollars.

So, what is the truth that Nanxian people can't afford to eat beef? In fact, what Nanxian people really can't afford to eat is Nanxian's local beef, which is the so-called "Korean beef". When buying Hanwoo in the mall, many of them are in exquisite gift box sets, and one kilogram of high-quality Hanbeef is equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan of soft girl coins.

The first reason why it is so expensive is that it is very expensive to raise. "Korean cattle" is a new breed obtained after the mixture of European cattle and Nanxian cattle, and high-quality feed is selected in the feeding process, and it will be slaughtered for more than a year, which is very different from many beef cattle that are fattened out of the slaughter in four or five months under industrial production. Therefore, the quality of Korean beef is delicious, which is better than imported beef from New Zealand, rice and other places. At the same time, the land area of Namxian is small, natural resources are not abundant, pastures only account for less than 1% of the country's land area, after all, there are only a few Korean cattle that can be raised, and it is normal for the price to be higher than that of imported beef.

The second reason is the protection of farmers in Nanxian.

In the modern society with rapid industrial development, farmers are easily abandoned by the times and become victims of the era of change. In order to protect the peasants in a disadvantaged position, while giving them a large amount of subsidies, the Nanxian government has restricted the import of foreign agricultural products to ensure that the prices of domestic agricultural products will not be greatly impacted. Nanxian farmers are also very aware of rights protection and spontaneously organize to boycott imported food. In this case, the price of Nanxian agricultural products is much higher than that of Huaxia, and there have been domestic students who shouted that they can't even afford to eat watermelon after arriving in Nanxian, 10 yuan in China, and almost 100 yuan in Nanxian.

Under the protection and subsidies of the government, the farmers of Nanxian were able to live a decent life without suffering losses due to the industrialization of the country. It's just that the ordinary people of Nanxian can't be as comfortable as us, and they have to bear the high prices of agricultural products. Hanwoo is a prominent example of this. However, some people will definitely ask questions, although the cost of Hanwoo is high, but the price is so exaggerated, even if the imported beef is still much cheaper than Hanwoo even with high tariffs, why do Nanxian people still insist on buying Hangeok? Isn't it okay to eat imported beef?

This is a fundamental reason for the high price of Hanbyu: the people of Namxian generally believe in the spirit of "being the same as the soil", and they are willing to pay for their country's agricultural products. The so-called "body and soil" often appear in many advertisements of Nanxian. Nanxian people firmly believe that it is their own land that has nurtured them, and only the products produced in Nanxian are the most suitable for themselves.

The logic of our Chinese people is generally biased towards pragmatism, domestic products and imported goods, which one is cheaper, I will buy which. Nanxian people have some "tendons", as long as it is a product of their own country and their own nation, even if it is expensive, they must try their best to support domestic products. In the eyes of those of us outsiders, Nanxian people always have a mysterious confidence in their own country. Walking on the streets of Seoul, most of the pedestrians who come and go use local brands such as Samsung and LG, and most of the cars are local brands of Namxian. According to statistics, the share of foreign cars in the Nanxian market is only 10%.

Yuanfang Group has to cooperate with Samsung in the Nanxian market, the reason is also this, the people of Nanxian are so axis, if there is no domestic mobile phone, they would rather use the old mobile phone than buy a smart phone from abroad, so the Yuanfang Group has not been able to open the market in Nanxian, in this case, it is better to take it out and cooperate with Samsung, at least there can be one more friend, isn't it?

For the Fusang car that we have always thought is of good quality and low price, Nanxian people are even more disgusted, and many Nanxian people think: If there is a Nanxian person who buys a Fusang car, then he may be a madman.

Under the influence of this national spirit, the people of Nanxian naturally have a soft spot for their own agricultural products. Although the price of Hanwoo is expensive and the cost performance is very low, the vast majority of Nanxian people, especially the elderly, are still reluctant to eat imported beef, preferring to save money to buy their own locally produced Hangeok. After the beef is eaten, the beef bones are boiled into soup, and the family tastes it slowly. For Nanxian people, if they receive Hanniu from relatives and friends during the New Year's holidays, it is simply an incomparably precious gift, which is worth cheering for the family. This is also the origin of "Nanxian people can't afford to eat beef" in many Korean dramas.

At this point, I have to say that the Chinese people should really learn from these Nanxian people. We must have confidence in our own country, support our domestic products more, and stand firm on major issues of right and wrong...... In short, a small piece of beef, the things reflected in it are not simple, Zhou Fangyuan eats it, and his mood is a little complicated.

Han Jiaren came out of the kitchen, saw Zhou Fangyuan's expression, and sat down beside him.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

"No, it's delicious, it's just something that comes to mind...... The taste is good, and your craft has improved. ”

"If you like it, eat more, my mother bought a lot of them, and they were specially prepared for you. ”

"No need to do that, I'll just eat a little bit...... The work has been pushed these days, I want to go on a trip, can you be a tour guide for me?"

Zhou Fangyuan said on a whim.
