Chapter Twenty-Eight: Behind the Scenery Are Vicissitudes

The restaurant is huge, and the billboard outside says that there are four different areas, all with different barbecue styles, and to Zhang Qianhan's surprise, these people all invariably exclude Korean barbecue. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoTiffany explained that it's not that Korean barbecue is not delicious, but that it may be that you want to change the taste when you go to a foreign country.

"It's ...... Japanese barbecue. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ kebab。 ”

"Oh, and Xinjiang barbecue."

Kim Taeyeon turned her head to look at Zhang Qianhan and said, "You are Chinese, what do you think of Xinjiang barbecue." ”

"Not recommended." Zhang Qianhan immediately shook his head.

Tiffany wondered, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

"Of course not, on the contrary, it is simply delicious."

Zhang Qianhan said with a smile, looking at the puzzled looks of several people, and said, "Xinjiang mainly roasts mutton, and it does have a high reputation in my country, but ......"

"But this reputation is limited to Xinjiang, where mutton is freshly slaughtered and roasted in brine water, but the restaurant's mutton must have been refrigerated, which not only reduces the elasticity of the meat but also has a great impact on the quality of the meat. If you want to eat it, I can take you to Xinjiang to eat it, and I don't want to lower everyone's impression of it here. ”

Kim Taeyeon touched her chin: "Then it's good to eat Japanese barbecue." ”

was unanimously approved, and Jin Xiayan looked at Zhang Qianhan with a blank eye: "When will you take me to eat Xinjiang barbecue." ”

"I'll go when you graduate." Zhang Qianhan said with a smile.

Jin Xiayan immediately stood on tiptoe and kissed him, curling the corners of her mouth happily.

I followed the waiter upstairs, found a place by the window and sat down. The environment is elegant, and the scenery is more beautiful through the window. Except for Kim Taeyeon, the rest of the people sat on the chair and lay listlessly, only she ordered a few dishes casually, asked for four glasses of cold beer, and sat and waited for the meal.

Really hungry.

The meat exuded fragrance on the black charcoal grilling plate, the eyes of the four people stared unblinking, and the sound of saliva swallowing came and went, as the meat began to turn yellow, everyone spit out and trembled with chopsticks to turn the meat over, and continued to look silently, only the sizzling sound of meat on the whole table, but at the moment there was no mood to speak.

Under the efforts of everyone, the dishes just ordered have bottomed out.

At the end of the first half, each ordered a few more, and after that, it is now half-time. Originally, Zhang Qianhan thought that they were still playing with their mobile phones, but they didn't expect Tiffany to ask a strange question.

At least Zhang didn't expect Tiffany to ask this kind of question, which didn't fit her style.

"Mr. Zhang Qianhan, do you know how a person can be free?" After taking a glass of beer, Tiffany's face turned slightly ruddy, and she looked out the window and said in a very casual tone.

Kim Taeyeon was not surprised, still playing with her mobile phone with her chin propped up, and said, "Zhang Qianhan, don't pay attention to her, sometimes she is like this after drinking." ”

Zhang Qianhan nodded thoughtfully, glanced at Tiffany and asked, "What does Miss Tiffany think about freedom?" ”

This is a question of comparative philosophy.

But Tiffany's answer was succinct, almost blurting out: "Uncontrollable." ”

After speaking, she looked back at Zhang Qianhan, and with the slight drunkenness, her previous lazy gaze became a little bright.

Zhang Qianhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and after looking at her for a moment, he retracted his gaze, quietly watched the white bubbles in the beer disappear one by one, emitting cold air, and took a sip of it: "It is indeed very appropriate for you to ask me this question, after all, I have gone through this stage." ”

Just as she was about to put it down, Tiffany gestured with her beer glass to cheer with her.

Zhang was stunned for a moment, smiled and clinked glasses with her.

Ding.

Zhang Qianhan took a breath and said, "Have you heard of Leo I. ”

β€œneo? The Matrix one? "Tiffany is cute.

Zhang Qianhan shook his head: "No, it's the Eastern Roman Emperor of the Byzantine Empire." ”

"I've never heard of it, I've never been interested in history." Tiffany shook her head with her chin propped up.

Zhang Qianhan smiled and pondered for a moment: "Then I will briefly tell you his story, which should inspire you." ”

Tiffany listened intently.

"Leo was originally just an ordinary soldier under General Aspar, but he had a special status, and was later proclaimed Eastern Roman Emperor for policy reasons, while General Aspar hoped to use Leo as a puppet to achieve Eastern Roman rule."

"Over the course of several years, he began to build his influence, confronting Aspar by appointing the Western Roman Emperor and relying on the Isolians of the mountains of Southern Anatolia to overthrow Aspar after fourteen years."

After a moment of silence, Tiffany frowned: "Finished?" ”

"You're talking too short, aren't you?"

"I need you to understand the factors first, and then I will tell you about the most important points after making sure that they are really clear." Zhang Qianhan said with a smile, and tapped his finger on the table, "First, help, second, time, third, purpose." ”

Tiffany thought for a moment and said, "Help? ”

"You think it's a multiple-choice question?" Zhang Qianhan stared at her in disbelief.

Tiffany was startled and quickly vetoed: "Ani......"

Zhang Qianhan took a breath and said with a smile: "Then what do you think is the help in the story just now?" ”

Tiffany frowned, blinked and looked at Zhang Qianhan cautiously, and said, "What is that Na'an?" ”

"Purpose." Zhang Duhan said.

Tiffany said confidently, "It's definitely going to overthrow Aspar." ”

Zhang Qianhan shook his head.

Tiffany bit her lip and thought about it again, and hesitated, "Yes...... To be the Emperor of the Eastern Romans? ”

"To be more specific, who is it?" Zhang Qianhan looked at Tiffany, and realized that the other party was indeed thinking hard, and immediately said with a smile.

Tiffany said, "Leo! ”

"It's Aspar." Zhang Qianhan said with a straight face, "What you want to figure out is Aspar's purpose, he wants to be the emperor of Eastern Rome. ”

Tiffany winked cutely.

At this time, the food was served, everyone continued to eat, Zhang Duhan scalded the meat, and said calmly: "Eleven years after Leo became the Eastern Roman Emperor, he set his sights on Vandals in North Africa, and joined forces with Western Rome to start attacking them, which was not a wise decision in the eyes of everyone, because Vandals were not weak, and in the expansion of the territory of course, there was no need to attack Vandal. However, at Leo's insistence, thousands of warships and as many as 100,000 soldiers were gathered. ”

And then ...... The war was lost. Zhang Qianhan said calmly, "The Roman Imperial fleet was completely annihilated. ”

"Later, he began to work on the overthrow of Aspar, and this order is crucial."

Tiffany stared at him blankly, suddenly feeling a little cold.
