Chapter 5 Controlling Emotions
"Stewed crab roe lion's head is one of the famous dishes in Yangzhou, this lion's head is fat and tender, crab roe is fresh and fragrant, the green vegetables are crispy and clear, the mouth is full of fragrance after eating, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, people can not forget for a long time, so it is also called one of the "three heads of Yangzhou" by delicious people. Legend has it that it has a history of nearly 1,000 years. The so-called "lion's head", in Yangzhou dialect, is big meat, if you use BJ dialect, it is big meatballs. Because after the big meat is cooked and matured, there is a layer of fatty minced meat on the surface, which has been roughly dissolved or semi-dissolved at the moment, while the lean minced meat is relatively convex, giving people a rough and rough feeling in a trance. So people with a sense of humor called it 'Lion's Head'......"
Walter took a sip of sake on the wine table, using the simple Chinese that had not been used for a long time since the crossing, and introduced the history of the lion's head to Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee on the opposite side also listened well.
When Chinese eat, their favorite thing is to pull homely cooking, brag, and add a little wine between men to help the fun, which is the "entertainment etiquette" that Walter often encountered in the later continent. Of course, it is not appropriate to say that China is like this, in fact, the whole world is like this, after all, eating, drinking and chatting is just a way for everyone and every family in the world.
This time for Walter, if he wants Bruce Lee to completely fall to his side, he can't be in a hurry, after all, although he can offer him more favorable conditions, can't other Hollywood companies provide it?
Therefore, he decided to find another way to get closer to the relationship with a local feeling, and he believed that Bruce Lee, who had lived in Hong Kong for so long, would definitely not lose the unique nepotism of Chinese. In this way, as long as his kung fu is in place, it is naturally conceivable who Bruce Lee will choose as his partner in the co-production under the same or not much different interests at that time.
At this moment, Bruce Lee had a smile in his eyes, and took a sip of sake in the glass from time to time, he didn't know how to drink, the amount of alcohol was very poor, and he rarely drank it, but RB wine seemed to suit his taste, just now Walter didn't actually prepare to order wine, but he took the initiative to order a glass of Japanese sake. Of course, he ordered the kind of low-alcohol sweet sake-style sake, but even so, Walter saw that he had drunk a small glass or so for a long time, and he was already so drunk that his face was flushed, and there was a tendency to get drunk after three glasses.
Thinking of the rumors about Bruce Lee in later generations, it seems that many of his friends said that Bruce Lee himself cherished his body very much, rarely drank alcohol, and only drank when he was very good with his taste and was extremely happy. Now it seems that he is probably very happy to tell about the Chinese culture that he has rarely heard of in the closed continent, didn't Bruce Lee close his mouth when he didn't see this meal?
In the middle of the banquet, an interesting incident happened, when Bruce Lee was discussing watches with Walter, after all, Bruce Lee is also a person who loves watches, and he wears a lot of steel watches and leather watches on weekdays. Walter has a very special version of the IWC Big Pilot watch, which obviously attracts the attention of watch lovers, and the two continue to discuss some watch knowledge.
Thanks to the legacy of his cheap father, he not only left a bunch of collected watches, but also left some books on related aspects, in the two days of desperate study, Walter is also a pseudo watch enthusiast, can boast in front of Bruce Lee about the history of military watches, which makes the two originally different minds have more common topics, and the atmosphere has gradually become less disturbing than at the beginning, and Bruce Lee himself has become a lot less vigilant.
When Walter talked about the excitement, he didn't know where a fly flew from, probably because the store here was not cleaned in time, which fly appeared out of thin air for no reason and flew around the table. Walter waved his hand several times to chase it away, but instead made the fly fly more cheerfully, screaming louder and cleaner.
It was at this time that Bruce Lee, who had been paying attention to Walter's explanation of the watch story, suddenly picked up his chopsticks on the table with his right hand very quickly, and then in the blink of an eye, Walter's right hand was sent forward very quickly, and before Walter could react, the buzzing of flies in the air was completely gone, leaving only Bruce Lee's pair of chopsticks with the corpse of the disgusting white substance flowing out of his stomach.
"Oh!My god!" Wought exclaimed softly, with a look of incredulity on his face, which was so vividly presented in front of his eyes that he had only seen in the movies in the future, could this kind of hands-on experience of a live-action close-up performance not excite him?
"What's so surprising about it? If you practice with chopsticks and clip small things, you can be like me. ”
"Forget it, do you want me to specialize in raising flies and kill them with chopsticks?" Half-jokingly, Walter rejected Bruce Lee's proposal, don't look at Bruce Lee's simple words, but those who really know this know that this is not as simple as practicing diligently, but it takes continuous accumulation to have this skill.
In his previous life, Walter always saw a lot of kung fu movies on the movie, which were mixed with some super bad scenes that were used by countless kung fu movie predecessors, such as the chopsticks in front of him to catch flies. Theoretically, as long as a person's observation and agility are coupled with his strong control over the force, if he can retract and release freely, it is not impossible to use chopsticks to catch the flies that are flying, but it definitely requires that person to pay a lot of time and experience.
After watching this scene, Walter suddenly remembered that Bruce Lee was lightning fast and accurate enough that he could even catch a grain of rice thrown out with chopsticks in mid-air. Now it seems that this news is true, with today's ability to clamp flies, Bruce Lee's own skills can naturally be understood by others.
Under the apology of the Chinese waiter who came later for the appearance of flies in the private room, which should not have happened, Walter and Bruce Lee both laughed and did not hold them responsible. Walter naturally doesn't care, in his previous life, there were flies in a private room on the mainland, and in some restaurants, there were freshly cooked flies and dead corpses in the food, and even cockroaches, which was nothing compared to this.
As for Bruce Lee, he politely expressed his understanding, although his emotions were not as high as when he ate, and he was obviously dissatisfied with such a low-level mistake in the restaurant, but there was no blame in his words.
In Walter's view, most of his words have a kind of sympathy and help for the Chinese, and this scene also gives Walter a deeper grasp of his plan.
"Learn to control your temper ,A quick temper will make a fool of you soon enough!" However, Walter saw it this way, but Bruce Lee used this sentence to explain after the Chinese waiter apologized and left, I really don't know if it was to cover it up, or if it was just like that......
