Chapter 015: An Unpleasant Chance Encounter

PS: Kneel down and apologize to everyone who is waiting for the update in the middle of the night...... It's a little bit more, and I'm a little sleepy when I'm two thousand five hundred words, so I went to take a shower, but I didn't expect to be even more sleepy after taking a shower, and I fell asleep directly in front of the computer...... It was 4 o'clock when I woke up...... Seeing that you are all asleep, I will continue to code with peace of mind, and a few thousand words more than a few thousand words can be regarded as reparation...... It's 7 o'clock, and I'll see if I can sleep for another hour and a half before I go back to work......

It's so-young!

It was a surprise that she suddenly appeared in the position behind her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

"Sure enough, it's oppa. Xiuying came over with great interest and grabbed Jin Zhongming. "When I came out to wash my hands just now, I heard someone say that you came in, and I thought it was strange at the time, you rarely come to the Western restaurant, what happened today?"

Without waiting for Jin Zhongming to answer, two more people came out of a private room not far away, one was Xiuying's sister, and the other seemed to be ...... It's her father, and he must have seen his picture or video somewhere, so he can't say that he can't be recognized.

However, Kim Jong-ming had never seen Xiuying's father face-to-face, so there was naturally no reason to ignore it in this case, so he hurriedly pushed Krystal, who was a little routinely nervous, over to say hello.

"It's Ermao's idea, isn't it?" Xiuying tilted her head to look at the nervous Krystal, took the initiative to pull her into her arms, and then pushed her in front of her father. "Anyway, Oppa, you're getting more and more fond of her, and you specifically bring her to see a certain dish?"

Xiuying was a little too excited, so no one paid attention to him, Kim Jong Ming stepped forward and directly whispered to Xiuying's father, but Xiuying was still interested, he helped Krystal to stand between the two of them and acted as a 'translator' with great interest...... However, Xiuying's sister Choi so-jin had a strange feeling after standing at the door of the private room and taking a look at the situation.

"It's Kim Jong Ming. Cui Xiuzhen turned her head and whispered to another person in the private room.

"Oh!" a slightly surprised voice sounded in the private room, and then another person walked out, it was Xiuying's mother.

"That's not good. Seeing her mother coming, Cui Xiuzhen's voice immediately became weak. "Why are you so excited to see people coming?"

"Where did you get to be listless all day?" retorted Cui's mother with a dark face. "She's only been here for less than an hour! What's wrong with being so excited to see an acquaintance?"

"I didn't mean anything else. Cui Xiuzhen replied in a slightly embarrassed whisper. "It's just that the contrast is really ...... You didn't notice the way she looked at people just now, and it only took twenty minutes to use that dead face to take her popularity away......"

This time, Cui's mother didn't speak, but just stared at Jin Zhongming with a strange look.

Xiuying's father is very calm, and his eyesight seems to be no big problem at present, especially the attitude towards Kim Jong-ming is very appropriate, which is of course due to the fact that he got relevant information from his daughter or Choi Tae-won early, but personal literacy is also an important part.

After a few words of greetings and introductions, Jin Zhongming noticed a little bit of the situation under Su Xiaoya's signal.

"Uncle, this is ...... Family gathering?" Although he didn't walk over, Jin Zhongming could tell from the outside that this private room was probably not small, even considering the spacious layout of the French restaurant, it should not be just a four-person room. "Or do you want to have a visitor?"

Without waiting for Father Cui to explain the situation with a smile, Xiuying, who had always seemed lively, immediately became embarrassed, which made Kim Jong-ming feel a little strange.

"At first, it was a party with a family of world friends. Father Cui continued to explain with a smile. "It's just that the other party left directly when there was something at home, and we changed it to a family party again......"

"Oh!" Kim Jong glanced at Xiuying without a trace.

"But it's just right!" Father Cui took Jin Zhongming's hand and invited. "It's better to come early than to come at a good time, let's have dinner together!"

Without waiting for Kim Jong-ming to reply, Xiuying had already pushed Krystal into the private room...... This is provincial nonsense.

This is a French restaurant located in Cheongdam-dong, and there is no need to say anything about high-end or not, and there is no restaurant in this location that is not high-end...... In fact, when Kim Jong-ming was still talking to Cui's mother and Cui Xiuzhen at the door, with a gesture from Cui's father, the private room had already been reorganized, and a new dining car and two waiters with changed gloves also stood at the long table in the private room......

But to be honest, French Western food is probably the most contrived kind of catering culture, not to mention the materials, from the beginning of cooking to play what foie gras can only be turned once, ordering must be in order, the French claim that French food comes from the ancient Roman court...... You Gallic barbarians are still in the ancient Roman court, and there is no use in thinking about it except to make the cooks, waiters, and diners awkward...... As for the mood, Krystal was just a naked whim who wanted to come over and eat a snail, and Kim Jong-ming was completely indifferent to it...... As for Jia Chao and Su Xiaoya, they are not this fan. So, in a sense, the enthusiasm of Xiuying's family and the high-end of this restaurant are a bit flattering to the blind.

Fortunately, Xiuying herself knows these two people very thoroughly, so from the beginning of the meal, she took the initiative to disturb the order of ordering, and then arranged the tableware randomly, and even chatted with Krystal with a spoon in the middle......

When it came, I probably felt the interest of Krystal, who had always been very reserved at the table, in snails, and Xiuying actually ordered this standard starter dish again...... Uh, actually, it's not good to eat too much of this thing, and so-young is purely using this thing to make Krystal happy.

But I have to admit that Xiuying's efforts still have a great effect, her parents are not the kind of people who are very deliberate, and deliberate people will neither go to the dormitory to help clean nor raise characters like Su Yong oppa. And although Kim Jong Ming has no appetite for food, he also has to accept Xiuying's affection. Therefore, aside from the unappetizing catering, the small talk of a few people can also be called getting better.

However, just when the atmosphere became relaxed, an uninvited guest suddenly came to the private room, perhaps it is a bit wrong to say this, because from this point of view, Kim Jong Ming seems to be an uninvited guest.

"Zhong Ming, let me introduce you. Cui's father is as stable as Mount Tai, but Cui Xiuzhen stood up and made an introduction, which can probably indicate the seniority of the man in his thirties in front of him. "Park Sung-min oppa, the family is a ...... engaged in a fashion brand"

The other party was obviously unhappy with the existence of Jin Zhongming and his party, but it seemed that there were some commanding things on his body, and he also had some scruples about Jin Zhongming, so after the symbolic introduction, he immediately faced Cui's father: "Uncle Cui, my brother also had some obvious rudeness about what happened just now, he just came back from abroad and didn't understand etiquette at all, so my father and mother asked me to come back and apologize to you......"

It seems that there is a good scene in this private room just now, Jin Zhongming looked down at Xiuying who was studying snails with Krystal with an expressionless face, I don't know if it was intentional, this girl leaned very close to her side as soon as the other party came in, and in a blink of an eye, she actually changed seats with Krystal, and now the movements in her hands are also very presumptuous, the tableware is tinkling by her, and her elbow is still pounded into her arms from time to time...... In fact, Cui Xiuzhen on the other side had already covered her face.

"It's all my own family, why do you say this?" Father Cui glanced at his daughter with a dark face, then turned around and replied to the other party with a smile. "I also apologize to your father for me, so-young was also spoiled by me...... Tell your father that I am a younger brother, and I still rely on him as an elder brother for some things...... Xiuying, can't you just live in peace?!"

Cui's father was finally angry with his daughter's action!

"I was helping Krystal pick the snail out of the shell, and the shell shattered...... "Su-young snapped up.

Jin Zhongming couldn't listen to it anymore, the so-called French-style baked snail is not a whole live snail boiled and eaten, but also with a shell, this snail meat is diced by the old age, and then with other things to seal it into the shell with eggs...... Where do you need to pick it out?

Seeing that his daughter was making trouble unreasonably but did not forget to pull a sixteen-year-old girl as a shield, Xiuying's father had no choice but to pretend that he didn't hear those crazy noises. However, he still misjudged his daughter's completely wrong mind at the moment, in fact, Xiuying herself is a little unclear about her situation at the moment, but she just wants to break away from it, a bit like a child wants to show something to someone and prove something...... In short, just when Cui's father was about to say something more to this Park Sungmin to smooth out the previous embarrassing incident, his baby daughter began to do it again.

"Trouble with nine more French baked snails. Xiuying smiled and ordered from the waitress standing next to her.

The waiter at the table was already embarrassed...... In fact, according to the rules, Xiuying's act of directly chopping the snail shell with a dinner knife just now is an insult to his profession, but everyone is Korean, and this French style is just pretending to deceive each other, of course he knows that Cui Xiuying's family in the girlhood is a real rich man, and it is not usually like this, and even this private room is reserved, in fact, he also knew that the other party was deliberately looking for something to embarrass Park Sungmin...... But is the nine-part baked snail going to heaven?

"Xiuying!" Xiuying's mother couldn't stand it at all. "Can't you just be quiet?"

"I want to eat snails. Xiuying replied pitifully as she bit her spoon. "Krystal wants to eat too, Oppa, do you want to eat too? I mean three of us each with three servings...... No one else's share!"

Kim Jong Ming smiled but did not speak.

However, Park Sungmin, who is in his thirties, couldn't hold back after all, he didn't know who Kim Jong-ming was, nonsense, even if he didn't know it before, he knew it after tonight's live broadcast, and it wasn't that he didn't know that it was best not to provoke Kim Jong-ming, and he didn't care about the kind of venting of Xiuying's child's temper.

It's just that the coquettishness and implication in Xiuying's words just now really made him think about it, coupled with the attitude of rejection and tiredness on his face when the other party faced his younger brother and parents before, all of this made him feel that the whole family had been insulted......

"Mr. Kim Jong-myung......" Park Sung-min wanted to say something, but looking at Kim Jong-ming's smiling face, he gritted his teeth and swallowed back, so he turned his head to look at Xiuying, but considering the father of Choi next to him, he didn't have the courage to say anything in the end, and in the end, he actually looked at Krystal who was sitting next to Xiuying - there is no doubt that he made a fatal mistake.

"Miss Krystal!" Park Sung-min was also confused. "Snails don't eat like that...... It's rude for you to eat like this......"

Krystal, who was looking down to study the snail, looked up blankly, she didn't know what was going on, how did it come to herself?

But it doesn't matter, if you don't know, you don't know, anyway, Jin Zhongming has already blown up his hair immediately, and his whole face will immediately turn black!

Xiuying secretly glanced at Kim Jong-ming, and quickly lowered her head to the point that she couldn't lower it any longer, she knew that she had gotten away, Park Sung-min gritted her teeth and sprayed Kim Jong-ming just now, and estimated that it would be fine, because Kim Jong-ming would not care about the other party, but she was angry with Krystal...... Crazy, right?

"May I ask where my sister is rude?" Sure enough, Kim Jong Ming stared directly at Park Sungmin coldly and asked, and the temperature in the private room was instantly wrong.

"I mean...... Miss Zheng Xiujing eats snails in the wrong way!" Park Sung-min was also a little panicked, but he was really scared that few Korean men intended to admit it in front of their acquaintances, not to mention that he had many reasons to support him.

For example, from beginning to end, it is indeed Xiuying who is stirring up trouble, for example, opening the door of the private room is actually an open high-end public place, for example, Kim Jong-ming should also take into account the attitude of the Cui family, for example, as two people who meet in Pingshui, they have a universal social advantage - age.

Therefore, Park Sungmin hurriedly added with a weak heart: "As an elder, I feel that I have an obligation to teach her this teenage ...... Dining etiquette for junior high school students!"

"As an older person, you're about to get slapped in the face. The initiator, Cui Xiuying, said silently in her heart.

"Then as a young man, I'll also teach you the real way to eat snails!" Jin Zhongming sneered. "Do you know what is the most common way to eat this agate snail as food?"

Of course Park Sung-min didn't know, at least he knew he didn't know when he heard Kim Jong-ming's tone.

"It's to open a big pot on the side of the road, pour dozens of catties or hundreds of catties of such snails into it, and put more than a dozen spices into it...... Then boil into a large pot of slimy liquid...... Sold in bowls, a bowl is about 60 cents to $1. ”

"How is that possible?" said Park Sung-min with a sneer. "French cuisine is all about ingredients...... This snail ...... I remember it was Burgundy......"

"That's France!" Kim Jong Ming said with a slight smile. "This edible snail, known as the agate snail, is really called the African giant snail in a broad sense...... The most common and oldest eating habit comes from Morocco! Like I said, a few hundred pounds a pot, less than $1 a bowl, and you have to use a toothpick to remove the snail shell when eating!"

"Is it?" Park Sung-min's face was skeptical, in fact, he had already believed ten percent, after all, how could a person like him, who was busy doing business and socializing every day, know these things, and Kim Jong-ming didn't need to lie to him, but he couldn't be such a simple person on face. "Where is this ......?"

"The famous crooked writer Sanmao, in his masterpiece "The Story of the Sahara", depicts this snack very much, you should rarely read, so you don't know this?"

"The ......"

"Do you know what I mean by that? Do you think I'm simply retorting to your way of eating snails?"

"I'm not ......"

"Let me tell you, you had better remember the two meanings clearly!" Kim Jong Ming was obviously a little aggressive, in fact, Xiuying's father on the other side had already darkened his face, but Kim Jong Ming didn't care!

"You see, the snail of the same species, growing in Burgundy, will be carefully collected, and then airlifted, and will be in a clean glass box that is cleaned every day for more than ten days to let it drain the slime, and the last chef will carefully cut it into cubes, and a few will cost hundreds of thousands of won! But in a place like Morocco, a few hundred catties are poured into it with the shell, and in the end, it is likely that there will be no chance to eat it, and it will be directly left in the pile of materials at the bottom of the pot, black, and disgusted by people on the side of the road! But in reality they are all the same thing, they are all the same kind of snail. So don't think you've been washed clean and put it here, after all, a snail is still a snail, it's either sticky for a lifetime or into people's stomachs, in short, it's not qualified to talk to people!

Park Sungmin's face turned red, and Choi so-jin, who was about to open her mouth, quickly closed her mouth.

"The second is for your elders...... Another writer, who I forget, but the words I remember. It seems like this. Jin Zhongming recalled seriously. "Age is never a measure of a person's maturity, a person's maturity comes from whether he understands the purpose of what he does, whether he bears the consequences of the decisions he makes, and from the degree of understanding and trust he has in himself...... What do you think of that?"

Without waiting for the other party to react, Jin Zhongming directly lowered his face: "I think it's terrible! It's too pretentious, it's too contrived! It's just a few words in my words - maturity has nothing to do with age, it only has to do with whether you have self-knowledge!"

This person called Park Sung-min or Han Sung-min, well, it doesn't matter anyway, he just bowed his head and walked out without saying a word, and it is estimated that he will not come back.

There was silence in the private room for a long time, and Jin Zhongming sat there thinking about something for a while, and then decided to get up and say goodbye.

"Today's problem is on Xiuying, and I'm really sorry. Xiuying's father took the initiative to take responsibility without waiting for Kim Jongming to speak.

"Anyway. Jin Zhongming stood up and shook the other party's hand with a smile, in fact, he felt that the other party was telling the truth, anyway, Jin Zhongming didn't think he had anything wrong with blowing up his hair for Ermao. "Farewell, uncle had a good meal. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Zhongming directly pushed the door and left, this chance encounter had a good start, but the final result was really bad.

Saying that, just as Krystal stood up and bowed to the other side to say goodbye, Xiuying next to him raised his head violently and looked at his father, mother and sister with a black face, and then suddenly grabbed Zheng Ermao's wrist and dragged the other party out on his own initiative.

In other words, if you don't leave now, when will you stay? Is it good to stay here?
