Chapter 284: A French Feast

No wonder it is often said that poverty limits the imagination.

When Xiao Peng saw the 'Azam' with his own eyes, he really took a breath of cool air. Are you sure this is a yacht, not a container ship? One hundred and eighty meters! It doesn't sound long, but when you saw it with your own eyes, it still startled Xiao Peng, no wonder Wahab wanted to drive this ship over, when Xiao Peng saw this ship, he really wanted to nod his head directly and meet Wahab's conditions!

If you only talk about yachts worth 600 million, it is just a number for Xiao Peng. So he can refuse without hesitation. But when this yacht was placed in front of Xiao Peng, Xiao Peng liked it at first sight, which has nothing to do with value, it is purely a love for good things.

Wahab was very satisfied with Xiao Peng's expression: "Xiao, come up and take a look." "When he saw Xiao Peng coming back, the first thing Wahab did was to take Xiao Peng to visit the 'Azam'.

"It's so cheesy. Xiao Peng said to Yang Meng, it is said that the Chinese people like the local tyrant gold, the person who said this must not know the Tesha people------ the interior color of the entire ship room is almost the local tyrant gold, and those who don't know think that they have gone to the Golden Country.

Xiao Peng visited the boat for more than an hour. The ship is simply too big: on deck there are four floors, more than fifty suites, each of which is no less luxurious than the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, with three swimming pools and a helipad. Each floor has a hall with different decoration styles, which can hold different specifications of parties.

Of course, what is even more terrifying is the consumption of this ship, which costs tens of millions of dollars every year. The average person really can't afford it. Even his former owner, Prince Waleed, rarely touched the ship except when he was hosting large banquets to entertain VIPs.

Wahab winked at Xiao Peng: "Xiao, how is it, do you like this ship?"

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "It is indeed a good ship." ”

Wahab laughed: "An Olympic gold medal, this is yours." ”

Xiao Peng swallowed his saliva: "Wahab, don't tempt me, I can't afford this thing." "This is really not Xiao Peng's nonsense, the Azam sails, and the daily fuel consumption is almost more than 100,000 yuan.

Wahab laughed, "Well, let's not talk about it. Let's eat first, there are three professional chefs on board, what do you like to eat?"

Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "Wahab, you can do it." "Made, no wonder it is said that there are three hundred people in the entourage, and there are three teams of cooks alone!

"Then let's have a French meal today. This chef is still good, two Michelin star chefs. Wahab said a few words to the waiter. Soon it was time to start serving.

Eating French food makes people feel very lofty when they hear it. This French meal is very elaborate, and the order of eating is very complicated. Taking your time and enjoying an authentic French meal will be a wonderful treat for the senses. From the appetizer at the beginning to the dessert at the end, it is an important process with a strict set of processes.

It doesn't matter whether we Chinese people are used to eating this French meal or not, but when eating French food, even if you don't have the same taste, you will eat it very seriously, because it is more like an art.

Xiao Peng's French dinner today was a plate of steamed scallops with flowers. This appetizer refers to the first course of French cuisine, also known as appetizer or appetizer, generally two, cold appetizer is made of vegetables, fruits, seafood and other salads to achieve appetizing purposes. Hot appetizers are generally pan-fried and deep-fried dishes. In haute cuisine, appetizers are the main focus, with imagination and creativity that are rarely repeated in different restaurants. Just listen to the name, steamed scallops with flowers, this Nima is not a delicious look!

And the next soup, the French onion soup and the French fish soup are recognized as beautiful soups in the global culinary world, the former is the representative of French clear soup, and the latter is the model of French soup, but what I drink today is radish soup。。。。。。! Alas, frown, drink it.

Next is the side dish and the main dish, the side dish usually includes freshwater fish, marine fish, shellfish and molluscs, and the side dish has an obvious feature, that is, the color of the meat is white, so it is called white meat, and the main dish is generally red meat; the main dish is also called the main plate, is the essence of a French meal, the main dish generally stipulates that each side dish can not be less than two, and requires a variety of cooking methods. But to be honest, whether it is a side dish or a main course, it is not as varied as the appetizer, such as fish, which is turned over and over sea bass, cod, salmon, etc., and the chef can basically only use the side dishes to show his creativity, and the side dish on the cod steak on everyone's plate turned out to be petunias。。。。。。

When it comes to the main course, the wine is also particular, generally speaking, red meat with white wine, white meat with red wine. For example, if you want to eat steak or roast beef, you should choose dry red, and if you eat lamb chops or roast lamb, you should choose light wine. If you have ham or roast pork, it is best to pair it with champagne or sweet wine.

Today's menu is rustic chicken, celery cheese buns, herbs with rice, and creamy almond pastry for dessert.

Xiao Peng swore that he had never eaten such a troublesome meal! There was a time to eat each dish, and when the time came, the waiter would bring a new dish, and the aperitif would be champagne and various concoctions, and the red wine, white wine, and champagne would be served with the meal, and the cognac and whiskey would be served after the meal。。。。。。

This meal is not finished, Xiao Peng is better, after all, he has to learn to contact new things. Even if you don't get used to it, try it and don't be embarrassed to go out on such occasions in the future.

But Yang Meng was not so good-tempered: "Wahab, what do you mean, do you want to show that you are nobler than us? ”

Wahab laughed and said, "Mengzi, do you think this is unpalatable?"

Yang Meng nodded: "That's right, it's really hard to eat!"

Wahab nodded: "I think so too." ”

"Huh?" Yang Meng was stunned: "I see that you enjoy eating very much." ”

"Loaded. Wahab shrugged: "At least half of the hundred people who eat French food are eating and secretly scolding in their hearts, 'What a this thing is?' and then have to pretend to be very tasty on their faces, admiring the dishes of this French meal and the deliciousness of the wine." It's like that's the way to taste!"

At this point, Wahab said indignantly: "Cod with morning glory! Is this something that people eat? Steamed scallops with flowers? Only a person with a lot of brains likes to eat such things? But this is the so-called French meal, which is called the most exclusive delicacy in the world." Whether you like it or not, you have to accept it, because that's the mainstream of high society. It is also the way of life of the so-called upper class. ”

"I don't like to eat these things, I'd rather eat grilled lamb chops at once, but there are many times, people are always so helpless, if you can't change him, you have to accept him. Wahab shrugged.

Xiao Peng frowned: "Wahab, what do you want to say?

Wahab showed an apologetic expression: "Xiao, I did something that you may be a little unhappy when you know it, but I hope it won't affect our friendship." ”

Xiao Peng listened to Wahab's words and froze in place: "What are you doing?"

Yang Meng jumped up directly: ", don't tell me what you mean, you have become Xiao Peng's stepfather!"

Xiao Peng: "。。。。。。 ”

Wahab was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no, this absolutely nothing." ”

Yang Meng looked at it: "Oh, I guessed wrong? Then I didn't say anything." ”

Xiao Peng and the two of them were in a cold sweat, what kind of brain hole is this Nima? Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "Wahab, if you have anything, you can just say it." What the hell did you do?"

Wahab hesitated for a moment and said, "You know that I came to sign an arms purchase with your country this time, right?"

"Oh, I've heard, isn't the 27 billion RMB no-man-machine procurement plan? I think you've made a wise choice. Huaxia has no - man-machine technology is advancing rapidly. Pterodactyl is also suitable for your country's conditions. But with your country's financial resources, you only spent four billion dollars, which is really not much. It's not a big deal. We have a lot of good weapons in China, spend more money to buy some, anyway, you have money, who don't buy it? It's better to buy our Huaxia ones, which are of good quality and low price. Let's make more money for our country. Xiao Peng said.

Wahab nodded: "Well, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Therefore, we are now studying with your Huaxia senior management the possibility of further in-depth and comprehensive cooperation, including your Huaxia J-31 record, Hongqi-9 missile, VT-4 main battle tank and LMS offshore multi-mission ship. ”

Xiao Peng whistled: "Wow, this is really a big deal." The land, sea and air are complete. But it's a wise choice for you, and to be honest, you've been lucky. In today's world, most countries do not have the money to purchase a complete national defense system. Even those who can completely rely on their own strength to build a national defense system are only Huaxia and Stars and Stripes on the whole earth. You won't regret choosing Huaxia. ”

Xiao Peng is really not wrong in saying that there are many gaps in the defense industry of the fighting nation, and as for Europe, the whole of Europe is okay together. Therefore, the two countries in the world that really have the ability to build a full-fledged system are really Huaxia and Stars and Stripes.

Of course, the Stars and Stripes are advanced enough, but the price is far less friendly than the Huaxia products. Now after all, people in the world are becoming more and more savvy, and they have to consider the cost performance, but not all countries are like the Japanese country, 600 million US dollars to buy an airplane。。。。。。

But to be honest, Tesha's purchase of weapons seems to be extravagant, but in Xiao Peng's view, it is more like paying 'protection fees', and he has bought weapons from the five permanent members of the United Nations. In fact, they also bought the weapons of the polar bears, but they didn't have any equipment, and they gave them to their 'brother countries'.

Wahab nodded and continued: "If this business is completely negotiated, it will be at least a big business with a price of more than 50 billion. ”

Xiao Peng stretched out his thumb: "It's pretty much the same, this is like the style of your special sand tyrants, refreshing enough!"

Hearing this, Wahab twisted: "Actually, there is a key point in this agreement, you know our desire for Olympic gold medals。。。。。。 So, you know。。。。。。 ”

Yang Meng sneered after hearing this: "Xiao Peng, the country refused when it was four billion US dollars, do you say that the country will refuse when it is five billion US dollars?"

Xiao Peng: "。。。。。。 "I really want to know if it's okay!
