Chapter 462: Drink hot coffee
Dai Ying took Ding Mu to the café on the top floor of the National Museum. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info This café is newly opened by the National Museum, the grade is very high, you can have a bird's eye view of the Forbidden City, the view is very good, so the price is quite high, but Ding Mu doesn't care about money at all, anyway, if it's just consumption, his money can't be spent.
Ding Mu was not polite, picked up the menu and began to read: "Blue Mountain Coffee, French Finger Puffs, Strawberry Yogurt Crispy Chestnut Cake, Tuna Sandwich, Grilled Sausage, Chocolate Mousse, Matcha Yellow Peach Cake, Opera Cake, Ham Sandwich, Chicken Steak Sandwich, Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake, White Chocolate Cointreau Mousse Cake......"
The young lady who was looking at the order was stunned, and Ding Mu said, "Remember, young lady." ”
The young lady was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, do you want all of this?" I thought you were reading the menu. ”
Ding Mu said: "Do you want to read the menu? ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't write it down, so please read it again...... Oh no, I'm really sorry to ask you to order it again. The lady who ordered was wearing a plaid apron and said embarrassedly.
Ding Mu closed the menu and said, "Little sister, I remember everything." Blue Mountain Coffee, French Finger Puffs, Strawberry Yogurt Crispy Chestnut Cake, Tuna Sandwich, Grilled Sausage, Chocolate Mousse, Matcha Yellow Peach Cake, Opera Cake, Ham Sandwich, Chicken Steak Sandwich, Dark Chocolate Mousse Cake, White Chocolate Cointreau Mousse Cake ......"
Dai Ying knew Ding Mu, so she naturally knew that Ding Mu had money. However, seeing that he was so extravagant, he still frowned a little and said, "Oh, don't order so much, we won't be able to finish eating when we go back." ”
Ding Mu said: "It's rare that I like this place, it's above the top of the Forbidden City, it's not easy to eat once, and if you can't finish eating, you can pack it and take it away." ”
Dai Ying heard Ding Mu say this, and she didn't meet her first-time acquaintance at all, and before she ate dessert, her heart had already become sweet. She can't afford to pay here. After all, a cup of coffee costs more than 200.
The two of them were eating and drinking Blue Mountain coffee, and Ding Mu said, "Dai Ying, do you know the exquisiteness of this Blue Mountain coffee?"
Dai Ying is a commentator, but her knowledge can't cover these, so she shook her head and said: "I know that Blue Mountain coffee is Jamaican, and I really don't know what to pay attention to." ”
Ding Mu said: "Actually, I only know a little bit, no matter what kind of crops are grown, the natural climate is the most critical factor. The Blue Mountains, where the weather, geological structure and topography combine to provide an ideal place to grow coffee. The ridge that runs through Jamaica stretches to the eastern part of the island, and the Blue Mountains rise to more than 2,100 metres. The weather is cool, foggy, and precipitation is frequent, so use this rich soil to reconcile rainwater.
From top to bottom, the quality is divided into: NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and PB, PB is round bean. According to the CIB standard, only coffee grown above 666 meters above sea level is called Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, and below 666 meters is Alpine coffee. This coffee is Blue Mountain No. 3 coffee, No. 1 is said to be directly supplied to the royal family, No. 2 is basically monopolized by Dongying, we can drink authentic No. 3 coffee, it is already rare, and the cost of this cup is fifty yuan. However, I haven't actually drunk No. 1 either, so let's try No. 1 coffee together if we have the chance. ”
"Okay. Deal. Dai Ying liked Ding Mu to say this, not because she was also a docent, but because Ding Mu gave her a thread to contact in the future.
Ding Mu smiled, took a few more sips of this kind of coffee, which he didn't know where it was good, and asked, "I said, are you very busy as a professional docent?"
Dai Ying shook her head and said, "Actually, it's not very busy, we only need to talk twice a day." There are only four days a week, which is a total of eight lectures. Just get the workload done and you're good to go. There is a lot of other time, and it is very idle. However, doing this business does require a strong knowledge reserve, so generally we will spend time reading books and constantly updating our knowledge in the unit time. Especially when there are big leaders who come to visit, or there are temporary exhibitions, they will be busy, because there are more things to prepare. ”
Ding Mu nodded and said, "Sounds good, you only need to work four days a week." I feel like I've never had a Saturday or Sunday. ”
Dai Ying said with a smile: "In public institutions, the salary is not high, that is, the benefits are not bad, and only one yuan is charged for lunch." Basically, it's just a symbolic payment. I have the opportunity to take you to eat our staff restaurant here, in fact, it is quite delicious, there are many kinds of meals, and it only costs 15 yuan to bring people to eat. ”
Ding Mu smiled, noncommittal. Because his personality is not to seek the best, but to seek the most expensive, he doesn't eat this kind of 15 yuan lunch.
However, Dai Ying's next sentence really attracted his attention, and he felt that the 15 yuan working meal could still be eaten.
"A lot of old experts, old researchers, and our curator eat everything here. So the dish is still very good. ”
The word old expert immediately attracted Ding Mu's attention, because he now had a batch of very precious cultural relics in his hands, so he wanted to discuss and learn from the old expert!
Ding Mu casually asked: "Dai Ying, let me ask you something, who is your curator? Is he the biggest expert, what is he mainly studying?"
Dai Ying frowned unconsciously when she heard Ding Mu ask about the curator, and there was a hint of incomprehension in her eyes, as if she was not very interested in the curator.
However, she still answered Ding Mu's question: "Our curator's name is Shen Gongwang. He's a calligrapher. I guess I have some achievements in painting. ”
Ding Mu had never heard of this curator calligrapher at all, so he reluctantly said: "Oh, I'm really lonely and unheard, this Shen Gongwang curator, it's really the first time I've heard of it." ”
At this time, Dai Ying's eyes really showed a trace of disdain, this trace of disdain was obviously not aimed at Ding Mu, but for this Shen Gongwang, she said: "In the near future, our curator will be famous, he is now often in Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island, open his own calligraphy and painting exhibitions." Thirty-eight sessions were held in a row, and a lot of paintings and calligraphy were sold. Sold for 151,000 square feet. Well, it seems like I've made a lot of money. ”
As soon as Ding Mu heard Dai Ying's words, he completely understood what she meant, she must have looked down on the curator who held an exhibition for herself. Therefore, he asked seriously: "Dai Ying, let me ask you something again? What do we say about this matter, I will never spread it, I am just curious." What do you think of you, Director Shen, and what level of his calligraphy attainments can he reach? He can hold 38 art exhibitions in a row. ”
"Hmph. Is his calligraphy okay, at least he is also a famous teacher, well, about 100 yuan to 150 yuan a square foot, that is, this level, more than it is expensive. As for his paintings...... Dai Ying directly gave a very vulgar example, "You take off your pants, dip them in ink, and sit on rice paper, which is basically this level." ”
"Poof. Ding Mu took a sip of hot coffee and didn't squirt it out, this Dai Ying's derogation of him has almost reached the extreme, does this Director Shen have such a dish? It seems that there is something else in this, not like it is simply a low level.
