Chapter 25: Western Food
Purse?
Who dropped.
Zhou Yu picked it up and looked left and right, and at this time, a shocking voice sounded next to him: "Young man, hurry up and throw away, don't move that wallet!"
The uncle who was waiting for the bus next to him said anxiously.
Zhou Yu was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Is this wallet poisonous?
"No, no, throw it away, ..... it quickly" Before he finished speaking, the uncle's face changed instantly, and he hurriedly turned his head.
At this time, an aunt ran to him in a hurry and said anxiously:
"Did you see a wallet, young man?"
This is the owner of the door, Zhou Yu is still going to hand it over to the police, and smiled: "This is your wallet." ”
"Oh boy, thank you so much. ”
The aunt suddenly smiled, Zhou Yu returned it to her, and was about to go back to continue taking orders, but suddenly, the aunt stopped him directly:
"Wait lad!"
She hurriedly ran to him, her face flushed with anger: "Young man, let me ask you, where is the 10,000 yuan here!"
For a moment, Zhou Yu was stunned:
"Huh?"
"What about the 10,000 yuan in my wallet! Why is it gone?
"It's not me, I just went to the toilet, and when I came out, I picked up your wallet, I don't believe you asked the uncle next to me. He pointed to the uncle next to him, but the uncle turned his head directly to watch the clouds and enjoy the sun.
"Nonsense! Less than two minutes after I lost this wallet, I saw you pick it up! You must have taken my money!"
Only then did Zhou Yu understand that this was a fraud, so he turned around and left, but the aunt suddenly hugged his legs, sat on the ground and began to shout:
"Someone, someone, someone is robbing money! shameless, someone is robbing my money!"
As soon as these words came out, some passers-by suddenly surrounded them, and looking at this scene, everyone's eyes were a little annoyed:
"It's these again. ”
"They were the same yesterday. ”
"It's the first time this month. ”
"The old immortal came out to deceive people again, last time he deceived a Didi driver who sold the car to pay her back, and this time he came out to cheat people. ”
"It's a pity that our camera here is broken, this young man is miserable, alas, what a special anger. ”
With the discussion, a rustic middle-aged woman came out next to her again, and directly scolded: "You dare to take my mother's money! Mom, are you okay!"
"Eh, young people nowadays are shameless, I take all the money of an old woman. ”
Suddenly, a strong man rushed out again, and he was furious: "Little cub, you dare to steal my mother's money! Take it out for me immediately! Believe it or not, I'll sue you for robbery! You are robbing!"
However, Zhou Yu already understood everything, paused, and looked at them like monkeys: "I have already said that I just picked up a wallet and didn't move." ”
"Fart! Who can prove it! Who can prove it to you!"
The man's eyes swept away, and the passers-by around him were silent, everyone knew that this was a fraud, but it was none of his business, and he didn't want to splash the muddy water on him.
"Look, no one speaks, it's not you who stole it,"
"Stop talking nonsense! Give my mom the money right away!, or I'll be done with you today!" the middle-aged man yelled, just as the siren sounded.
This is the old neighborhood of the ancient city, the patrol police car is basically one every ten minutes, when the siren sounded, everyone saw two policemen coming over at the same time, frowning:
"What are you doing? ”
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged woman cried directly: "Comrade policeman, this little bastard stole my mother's wallet, this is all the savings of our family, you have to call the shots for us." ”
"Yes, comrade policeman, you can tell me how shameless young people are now, I have stolen all the money from an old woman, you have to get our money back. ”
There are more and more passers-by around, and of course, there are some idle Didi drivers, who are angry when they see this scene.
These liars again!
"Last time, Lao Liu just let them cheat, and he only made up 10,000 yuan by smashing the pot and selling iron. ”
"Fuck, these old immortals didn't get hit by a car. "What a fuss. A policeman frowned, then looked at him: "What are you doing?" ”
"Run, drip. ”
Zhou Yu said honestly, and the middle-aged man scolded: "Look, everyone, it's another shameless Didi driver!"
Brush, those Didi drivers' faces are even more ugly.
"What the hell is going on. ”
"I just delivered the order, came out to the bathroom, and then picked up the wallet, and I was going to help them give the wallet to the police, but it didn't take two minutes for the old man to come. ”
"Fart! You're the one who stole it!"
"It's not your mother, why should you help!"
This time, the policeman frowned: "Okay, come back to the police station with me and deal with this matter." ”
As soon as they heard the police station, the three people suddenly showed a smug look.
But at this time, Zhou Yu suddenly said: "I'm sorry, comrade police, I think these people are a fraud gang." ”
At this moment, everyone was stunned, and the three of them blushed angrily, and the woman immediately scolded: "Fart! You fucking cheat! You thief!"
"Red mouth and white teeth, my wife is so old. ”
However, Zhou Yu didn't speak, and suddenly there was an extra car key in his hand, and with a slight press, a silver sports car next to him turned on dramatically.
In an instant, everyone's mouths opened wide in unison.
No way!!
Roadster!!
At this moment, the passers-by were stunned, the police were stunned, the three crying people were directly dumbfounded, Zhou Yu took down 40,000 yuan from the car and handed it to the police:
"Comrade policeman, I am now suing the three of them for fraud, this is my lawyer's fee, trouble Comrade police, the other 20,000, please help me hand over to the last Didi driver who was defrauded, I need hope to live." ”
At this moment, the faces of the three people suddenly turned pale, and they were so frightened that they broke out in a cold sweat, and the policeman's face suddenly darkened:
"Xiao Wang, bring these three back to the police station, the monitoring of this block has been repaired, once it is verified, it will be handed over to the people's court immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Wait, comrade policeman, we were wrong, let us go, comrade policeman. ”
"We were wrong, let us go!"
"Please, big brother, let us go, we don't dare anymore. ”
The three people cried and pleaded, but they were dragged back to the police car, and at this time, the crowd suddenly burst into applause.
"That's good! The scam started in three years. ”
"Haha!"
"It's so relieving!
They are so happy, these three liars finally hit the nail, I didn't expect it, haha, people drove luxury cars out to run Didi, can they look at your 10,000 yuan?
Those Didi drivers were cool, even the police laughed, made a simple record, thought about it, and looked at him strangely:
"Comrade Zhou, I'm actually quite curious, since you have this kind of car, there should be no shortage of money at home, why did you hear this, Zhou Yu thought about it, and then coughed euphemistically:
"Ahem, I said that there was too much money and I was distressed, do you believe it? ”
In an instant, the smile of the police comrade froze, the smile of all the Didi drivers froze, and the smiles of passers-by froze, watching him get on a Lamborghini and leave here with a U-turn.
The weather is nice today.
It's just that the blood pressure is a little high.
At the same time, some passers-by uploaded today's video to Douyin, and the title is very clear:
[Rich second-generation Didi driver, assistant police to dismantle fraud gangs]
……
Day 2: The weather is sunny and cloudless, and the system rewards are indispensable for such beautiful weather.

History of Western Cuisine
Stainless steel cutlery
Whether it is a medieval Gothic church, a beautiful lakeside with white walls and red tiles in the shade of green trees and red flowers, or the silhouette of the top of a round or pointed building in the sky, the empire of the sun never sets always breaks into our sight with a touch of mystery and nobility. No wonder some people say that if you are obsessed with pure aristocratic life, then you should know about British food and her British flair.
In medieval England, only the aristocracy was entitled to "waste" steak, while wealthy merchants who were not nobles were subject to the prohibition of extravagance against the abuse of beef. There is also a general belief in society that there is a sacred and natural connection between food quality and the eater, with the lower classes eating coarse and cheap food, while the rich should enjoy delicate dishes.
In the 18th century, with the deepening of the Industrial Revolution, Britain became unprecedentedly prosperous and powerful, and its colonies spread to every corner of the world, known as the empire on which the sun never sets. With the penetration of British culture, steak has also been brought to the royal kitchens across Europe, and the local palace recipe has been secretly prepared to form a unique British steak series with local characteristics. Since then, British steak has become all the rage and is world-renowned.

Western Classics - Russian Cuisine
The upper classes of the Tsarist Russia era were very much admirers of France, and the aristocracy not only took pride in speaking French, but also studied mainly French food and cooking techniques. But over the years, especially in Russia, the food has developed its own culinary characteristics, especially in the Russian region, which is highly calorie-rich in food. Russians are famous for their hot food and are famous for their snacks such as small buns and patties made of fish, minced meat, eggs and vegetables.

After long-term discussion and summary, scholars who study Western food believe that the following 6 "M" should be paid attention to when eating Western food.
1. "Menu"
When you walk into a café or restaurant, the waiter will lead you to a seat, and when you are seated, the first thing you will be served is the menu. The recipe is regarded as the face of the restaurant, and the owner has always attached great importance to it, using the best materials to make the cover of the recipe, and some even use soft sheepskin to make a variety of beautiful patterns, which looks particularly elegant and exquisite.
Here's a little bit of experience, that is, after opening the recipe, you can see which dish is named after the restaurant, and this dish should not be missed. Because that restaurant doesn't joke about the reputation of its own restaurant, the dishes they work hard to make will definitely be delicious, and everyone must order this "signature dish".
Another important point to note is that you should not treat Western food ordering problems with the habit of eating Chinese food: that is, do not ignore the menu and do not let the waiter order for you. In France, even President de Gaulle and d'Estaing have to read the menu and order when they eat Western food. Because reading recipes and ordering food has become an indispensable procedure for eating Western food, and it is a manifestation of an elegant lifestyle.
2. "Music"
Luxurious and high-end western restaurants usually have bands that play some soft music, and general western restaurants also play some beautiful and elegant music. However, the most important thing here is the "audibleness" of the music, that is, the sound should reach the level of "it seems to be heard but cannot be heard", that is, if you concentrate on talking to friends, you can not hear it, and you can hear it when you are resting and relaxing.
3. "Mood"
Eating Western food pays attention to the elegant environment and harmonious atmosphere. There must be music, the tables are neat and clean, and all the utensils must be clean. In case of dinner, the lights should be dimmed and red candles should be on the table to create a romantic, charming and elegant atmosphere.
4. "Meeting"
That is, who to eat Western food with, it is up to you to choose. It is best to eat Western food with friends and relatives or people with similar interests. Eating Western food is mainly for bonding, and it is best not to talk about business at the Western table. Therefore, in the western restaurant, the atmosphere is generally very warm, and there are few scenes of red faces.
5. "Manner" (etiquette)
This refers to the "eating appearance" and "eating state". Since it is eating Western food, you should follow Western customs, and do not act abruptly, especially when holding a knife and fork in your hand, if you dance with your hands, you will "lose your temper".
The knife and fork must be held correctly: the knife should be held in the right hand and the fork in the left hand. Use a knife to cut the food into small pieces and use a fork to put it in your mouth. Generally speaking, Europeans use knives and forks without changing hands, and always use their left hand to carry food into their mouths. The Americans, on the other hand, cut it, put the knife down, and put the food in their mouths with a fork in their right hand. But at no time should the knife be brought into the mouth. At Western banquets, the host will arrange for men and women to sit next to each other, and Western gentlemen who pay attention to "ladies first" will show their courtesy to ladies.
6. "Meal"
An American foodie once said: "Japanese people eat with their eyes, and the form of the cuisine is beautiful; when we eat our Western food, we use our nose, so we have a big nose; only you great Chinese know how to eat with your tongue." "Chinese food is based on "taste", while Western food is centered on nutrition, and as for taste, it cannot be compared with Chinese food.
