Chapter 64 Reporter Interview

【1】

In order to let his good friends receive distinguished guests politely, the professor took the trouble to explain: "You should sit in a sitting posture, like this," Professor Guo straightened up, "the body must be straight, the elbows should not be on the table, the legs should be together, and the napkins should be folded in half and spread on the legs." If you're talking to your German in-laws, wipe your mouth with a napkin and talk again! "What about this meal? Remember to hold a fork in your left hand and a knife in your right hand. When you cut something, hold it down with your left hand, use a knife in your right hand to cut it into small pieces, and remember to stick a fork into the food and put it in your mouth to eat!"

Zhang Guangming couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's really troublesome for this foreigner to eat." ”

The professor said with a serious face: "Don't laugh, they are so exquisite! I also want to tell you that when using knives and forks, try not to collide, and do not wave knives and forks indiscriminately when talking." The spoon is only used for soups and desserts, but don't scoop other staple foods, and you can't scoop dishes and drinks. The professor was afraid that Zhang Guangming would be embarrassed in front of his in-laws, so he emphasized again, "You have to remember, but don't remember to scoop any other food." Zhang Guangming nodded again. He continued very seriously, "The soup spoon is still very particular! It should be from the inside out, and the front of the mouth should be used when you enter it." You can't put it in your mouth as we are used to. What if you go to the toilet in the middle? There are also special words, you should put the knife and fork in the shape of "eight", so that it means that you have not finished eating, and after eating, you should close the knife and fork with the handle facing the right side of your body, and the head facing the left front, and the blade of the knife should be buckled outward and put on the plate. And oh......"

Zhang Guangming said: What's more? Eh, it's not as trouble-free as we Chinese eat!

Professor Guo smiled and said, "I am also particular about eating desserts! I want to serve a bowl of lemonade, but don't drink it! ”

"What? Wash your hands with lemonade? I have to remember to tell Qin Chun and his wife, don't drink it when you bring it up, it's going to make a joke when the time comes." Zhang Guangming said with a very serious expression at this time.

"Leftovers, used utensils, and toothpicks should be placed on a plate, not on the table. I don't need to talk about the rest, right?"

Zhang Guangming said with a grateful expression: "I thank Brother Guo for giving me a detailed explanation of the hospitality of foreign guests. I have already told Mr. and Mrs. Qin Chun that they will take advantage of the National Day holiday to come to my new home in Beijing to accompany the guests, and you can come with you!" Professor Guo agreed with a smile.

Zhang Guangming thought of his nephew Zhang Wenjia, who went to the United States a few years ago to learn how to cook Western food with a famous chef. He opened several Western restaurants in different neighborhoods in Beijing, and business was booming. So he went to major cities to open chain stores, and now business is good.

Zhang Guangming came to his younger brother Zhang Guanghua's house and told his nephew that he wanted you to cook Western food at his uncle's house...... Zhang Wenjia didn't say a word, he readily agreed. He contacted the chef and then bought a large turntable and sixteen chairs, as well as finely crafted cutlery.

Somehow, the news of Mayor Zhang's reception of distinguished guests reached the ears of Mayor Li, and he rushed to Beijing with the staff of the TV station. This Mayor Li is the secretary of the commune Li who secretly protected and supported Zhang Guangming at the beginning, and later because of his outstanding achievements, he was gradually promoted to the county magistrate, and now he is a mayor at the district level.

The first one, a long black limousine, drove slowly and stopped at the door of Zhang Guangming's new villa. Zhang Guangming's family stepped forward very enthusiastically and helped their youngest daughter's in-laws, that is, the old commander and his wife, to get out of the car. Zhang Wenjie got out of the car with a smile, and then her husband said that the principal of the military academy was the next to get out of the car. Zhang Guangming smiled and invited his in-laws into the house. Then he and his wife came out again to wait for the guests in the back.

The second car came to the eldest daughter Zhang Wenya's family. Zhang Guangming and his wife greeted each other with smiles and enthusiasm......

The third car is Zhang Wenya's best friends Hong Caili and Steven. Zhang Guangming and his wife said with grateful expressions: "Welcome to the arrival of the elegant benefactor!" Li Yue'e tugged on her husband's sleeve and said, the old man should speak English, you speak Chinese, how can he, an American, understand?

Steven and Hong Caili hurriedly laughed and said in unison, "You're welcome!" Zhang Guangming smiled, and he said in surprise, "Eh, you see, I also reviewed my English in order to receive you." It turns out that you are very fluent in what you said Chinese Li Yue'e hurriedly called Hong Caili aside and told her that Mayor Li and the TV station and others were also here, and wanted to ...... Ask for her opinion. Hong Caili asked her fiancé in a whisper, and he nodded in agreement with the interview. Li Yue'e waved her hand at Secretary Li with a smile. Then she invited the lovers in. When the two of them came to the door of the house, they were surrounded by Mayor Li and the people from the TV station......

The fourth car came Zhang Wenjun and his wife, his in-laws. Zhang Guangming learned a few words of German and was about to say the welcome speech in the German language, but he did not expect that this foreigner couple was also very fluent in Chinese. Zhang Guangming was very surprised again, so he asked: "I really didn't expect that old Dai Wei's in-laws and mother-in-law would speak Mandarin very standard in my country! Where did you learn it?" He pointed to his daughter-in-law and said, "Where is our teacher close in front of you!" Haha......

Zhang Guangming and his wife led the old Dai Wei and his wife to the courtyard, and asked: "The mayor of our hometown, with the staff of the TV station, also came to welcome you...... Old Dai Wei is a big boss who has worked hard in the shopping mall for many years, and he knew that the mayor asked reporters to interview him. He knew it and nodded thoughtfully. He thought to himself: What is the purpose of the mayor who personally greeted me?

Mayor Li and his entourage originally planned to greet Zhang Guangming's four in-laws and Steven outside the gate. But Zhang Zhang Guangming is a very cautious and thoughtful mayor. He said to Secretary Li, I'll ask my in-laws about the meaning of the family first, and then I'll talk about it. That's why Zhang Guangming asked Mayor Li and several staff members of the TV station to act at the door of the villa. Zhang Guangming came to the door and nodded to Secretary Li. Secretary Li nodded knowingly. He warmly hugged old Dai Wei and said welcome to you! The others immediately clapped their hands with smiles on their faces and said, "Welcome to your arrival!"

The reporter of the TV station, he immediately stepped forward and directly asked Lao Dai Wei if he had any intention of investing in Henan, China......
