Chapter 535 Piercing the Heart

Jonathan took a breath, he didn't know if what Xiao Peng said was true or not, but he forced a smile and said, "Xiao, you are really a humorous person." ”

He would rather believe that Xiao Peng was joking.

Xiao Peng shrugged, noncommittal to explain to him?

Now Jonathan's mind is full of thousands of galloping horses, all running grass and mud horses. How did you come across such a strange thing as Xiao Peng? This has lost so many fields, and it must be recovered.

But Xiao Peng doesn't play cards according to the routine, Jonathan thought about it and decided, starting from what he is good at: "Xiao, have you been trading stocks recently?"

Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile: "I'm extremely insensitive to numbers, so I'm not interested in things like stock trading." ”

When Jonathan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Money must be reasonably disposed of, putting money there will not appreciate in value, and it is the last word to operate your wealth reasonably and let money make money." Stock trading is a very good way to operate. ”

Xiao Peng followed his words and asked, "Oh? Then you must have traded stocks?

Jonathan frowned: "I invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in the stock market last year, which was really good at that time, and my vision was okay, and it doubled in a year." However, I also have bad luck, the stock market situation is not very good during this time, some time ago I had a few stocks fall limit, a day to lose more than 100,000, although a little distressed, but after all, it is not a big deal, and compared with last year's harvest is not worth too sad. Alas, it's time to pay the tuition. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Peng asked the bartender for a computer, crackling and calculating, Jonathan was puzzled: "Xiao, what are you counting?"

Xiao Peng threw the computer in his hand on the table, and said with a sad face: "It seems that the risk of this stock market is indeed too great, my God! I lost more than 100,000 US dollars in one day? If you let me lose 100,000 yuan a day, I will probably go bankrupt in 50 or 60 years." ”

"Hahahahaha. That Sun Xuan was left to slap the table and laugh.

Jonathan's face is pulled down, you're too good at bragging, right?

If Xiao Peng knew Jonathan's thoughts, he would really cry out for injustice, this is really not nonsense! Is the Huaxia my wealth? Is the shares of the Prada Van Cleef & Arpels Group my wealth?

Jonathan really wanted to turn around and leave, but Sun Xuan's laughter stabbed him like a knife.

He controlled his emotions: "Xiao, okay, you are such a humorous person, chatting with you is a very loose thing, this is the purpose of my visit to the bar today." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Peng didn't understand what he meant.

Jonathan said: "I am busy at work, I have to socialize at work, I have to socialize after work, my neighbors are either CEOs or executives of large companies, and they usually make appointments to drink wine or play golf together. Xiao, what about you, who are your neighbors?"

"Oh, I'm a single-family house with a sea view, and I don't have any neighbors within a two-kilometer radius. Xiao Peng replied lightly.

Sun Xuan couldn't help it, and he was almost out of breath when he laughed.

Even the bartender Johnny couldn't stand it anymore, and gave Xiao Peng a plate of snacks: "Mr. Xiao, this is for you." ”

Xiao Peng nodded with a smile and pushed the platter in the direction of Jonathan and Sun Xuan: "The snacks here are good, you all come often?"

This so-called snack platter is actually a combination of several fried foods, such as chicken corn, fried chicken nuggets, Mexican potato chips, dipped in tomato sauce and eaten, and then sipping a little wine, which is very comfortable.

Sun Xuan was not polite, took a fried chicken nugget and dipped it in tomato sauce and tasted it: "Woo, it does taste good." The taste is lighter than that of domestic fried. ”

Xiao Peng nodded: "The oil used is different, the north of our country likes peanut oil, the south likes blended oil, and this Stars and Stripes country prefers corn oil, soybean oil or olive oil." So the taste is lighter. Jonathan, don't you want to taste it?"

Jonathan shook his head: "I'm very picky about food. I don't know how to eat food if it's not food. When the Eleventh Madison Park restaurant in New York reopened, I went there for a meal as soon as possible, not to mention, this Daniel Hum deserves to be a three-Michelin-starred chef, and now the Eleventh Madison Park restaurant has been named the first of the 50 best restaurants in the world!"

Xiao Peng shook his head disdainfully after hearing this: "What are the fifty best restaurants in the world, they are just gimmicky restaurants, compared with the breadth and profundity of our Chinese food, they are not worth one." ”

Jonathan's eyes widened: "Are you mistaken? This list is sponsored by Eagle Country Restaurant Magazine, sponsored by San Pellegrino and Puna, and is voted by more than 1,000 influential representatives of the industry from all over the world, including food writers, critics, chefs, restaurateurs and foodies, etc., based on their dining experience in the past 18 months, ranking their favorite restaurants to select the best restaurants in the world." This list is the Oscars of the food world!"

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Wait a minute, you said that this list was selected by the Eagle Country? Are you abusing you, aren't you talking to me about black humor?"

Sun Xuan was left to cover his mouth and snicker. This Eagle Country's dark cuisine is indeed too famous.

Jonathan was also a little embarrassed: "Okay, Eagle Country does have all kinds of dark cuisine and no culinary expertise, but you can't stand it from choosing the right one, right?" This list has been published since 2014, and I don't know how many diners from all over the world flock to it every year. ”

Xiao Peng shook his head disapprenously: "This so-called world list is actually selected according to the taste of you Westerners, of course, I don't deny that there are many prestigious restaurants among them, such as the White Rabbit Restaurant in Moscow and the like." But there isn't a single Chinese restaurant on this list, they know what a!"

Jonathan was stunned: "I remember that there are Chinese restaurants on this list?"

Xiao Peng explained: "That's right, there are two Chinese restaurants on the list, one is Amber Restaurant on Hong Kong Island, their chef is the Dutch Richard Ekbus, who is good at using ingredients from Gaul, Wa, and Kangaroo countries, with Hong Kong Island's unique ingredients, through European cooking techniques, the so-called combination of Eastern and Western food culture, the signature dish is sea urchin, caviar and lobster soup jelly, which Chinese food is so eaten?"

There is also the UV restaurant Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet in Modu, known as the ultraviolet restaurant in Chinese, known as the world's first sensory restaurant, specializing in creative Gallic Western food. To put it bluntly, it is the use of more mature molecular cooking techniques, and it is also good at creating an atmosphere, all kinds of hype, and it is like eating in a very mysterious place, but it is not mysterious at all, but diners are not allowed to go by themselves. ”

"It is no exaggeration to say that such a restaurant has a foothold in our Huaxia and in the magic capital, where people like these things that look foreign: the name should be in English, the restaurant should go to a foreign famous restaurant, etc., after all, people are an international metropolis, and they must be in line with the world. But such a restaurant can't represent Chinese food culture at all, and when you go there to eat, 990 out of 1,000 people are just pretending to be forced. ”

Jonathan had a different opinion: "Maybe it's because your Chinese food is not delicious? Don't forget, there are more than 1,000 judges in this selection." ”

Xiao Peng laughed: "More than 1,000 judges, this is a joke in itself, how many Chinese people are there? Just a few Chinese judges, they are all from the Western food school, that is, foreigners will say fragrant when they, China's 1.3 billion people, including international students and the like, no more than 2 million people eat Western food every day, can you say that these 2 million represent the 1.3 billion view?"

Jonathan said, "Xiao, it's a bit extreme for you to say that. It's useless to have a large population, and India has a large population, and there is no good restaurant yet!"

Xiao Peng glanced at Jonathan: "Come on, the combined population of Huaxia and India is more than 2 billion, and these more than 2 billion eating habits have been ignored by you? Oh, what you eat is called food? These more than 2 billion people have grown up eating garbage? If you want to talk about garbage, it seems that you Stars and Stripes have grown up eating junk food, right? Now in our Huaxia, even three-year-old children know that KFC McDonald's is junk food, and you people here still hold and drink Coke while eating every day, no wonder you have so many fat people." ”

Jonathan said, "Anyway, these restaurants are famous for a reason, with three Michelin stars and three Michelin stars, this eleventh Madison Park restaurant is just great! If you go to eat one day, you will definitely agree with me." Only people who haven't eaten it will think it's not good there!"

Xiao Peng grinned after hearing this: "Okay, Jonathan, I really envy you!"

"Envy me for having eaten?it's okay, now that the traffic is so developed, you can go and eat at any time, I promise you won't be disappointed!" Jonathan finally felt like he was back on the field!

How do you know that Xiao Peng shook his head: "I really envy you, you can still find a Michelin restaurant that I haven't eaten." Let's not talk about other countries, the Michelin restaurant in this Stars and Stripes country is actually really like that. At the Eleventh Madison Park restaurant, you said, a piece of meat the size of a quail egg with a la carte leaf would dare to say that it was a dish, and that it was especially for feeding the birds? Where can I eat to my fill? It's just to pretend to be forced. ”

Jonathan couldn't help it, and glared at Xiao Peng: "Huaxia, what do you want to do?

Xiao Peng pretended to be stupid and said, "What's the matter? Can't you tell the truth? Don't you Stars and Stripes pay attention to freedom of speech? Can you only be free? Can't we be free?"

Jonathan's mouth was crooked: "Are you embarrassed that you are telling the truth?"
