224. Be a man and be calm
Cheng Yibing said that he would treat him if he was treated, and as soon as he gave an order, seven or eight people from the gymnastics men's team surrounded Bai Huang, set up and walked outside.
For a 28-year-old veteran, after participating in the last Olympics in his life, he will have to say goodbye to the arena from now on. Maybe he can still guide a batch of newly grown seedlings in the gymnasium, or "race" and Youzeshi, and then enter the system that everyone envies, but if you want to dig deep into his heart, this veteran can really give up the place where he has spent more than ten years of youth?
But goodbye will always come, and God will not open up to you just because you are a prince.
Leave with the biggest regret of my life......
Or when saying goodbye, smile and say that you have no regrets in your life, and the difference in life is the difference between the emperor and the beggar.
Cheng Yibing's fate trajectory has already slipped to the first type, but it is Bai Huang, it is this mysterious and magical guy who has given him a second life.
And it's above board, take back what belongs to you, no one can say no, no villain can put his beak with jealousy.
This kind of great favor is so big that Cheng Yibing can't afford it, and it may be a little exaggerated to say that it is a grace of recreation, but it is by no means something that can be repaid with a few thanks.
As an athlete who has been training for a while, he can't think of a better way to express his gratitude at the moment. Under the agitation of the mood, he had no choice but to sacrifice the killer feature that everyone on the earth knows - to invite guests to dinner.
Obviously, the place where a person treats a guest to eat can express the sincerity of the host. The place Cheng Yibing chose was not just a street restaurant, but directly called four or five taxis and came to a small village outside London.
Fat Duck Restaurant, in three Michelin stars, ranked 11th in the world.
And throughout the British Isles, it is the representative and symbol of British cuisine, the royal family of British food.
The small village is quiet at sunset, but when you arrive at the door of the white-walled and red-tiled Fat Duck Restaurant, it is surprisingly crowded. Bai Huang casually glanced at it, the hall that can accommodate about 40 people for a meal was already full, but there were still a dozen seats left by the window.
"As soon as the announcement of the Olympic Organizing Committee and the Referee Committee came out at noon today, Brother Cheng immediately booked a position, we can follow and take advantage of it, it's all stained with Brother You's light!" Looking at the large number of people at the door, they were all crazy diners who knew that it would take three or four hours to queue, but they were still willing to eat, and a young man in the team couldn't help but curry favor.
Seeing this posture, even the druids, who were accustomed to eating their own mountain treasures, couldn't help but be full of anticipation.
It deserves to be a well-known Michelin three-star, and although it is highly sought after, the quality of service has not fallen at all. Not long after a group of people came in, all kinds of exquisite meals were served, attracting the wild barbecue party of Bai Riguang, and they were directly stunned and dumbfounded.
Western food always comes first with a wine list.
Okay, is this Nima also a wine list? It's almost time to catch up with the review materials for high school students, Bai Huang has never seen such a thick list.
Look at the price again, the gymnastics team has really made a lot of money, and the minimum is 30 pounds! As for the expensive ones...... Bai Huang immediately felt that he was too young and shy to accept 2,000 pounds from Wang Bochuan's old man, and he couldn't say it at all.
5,000 pounds of whisky, I don't know who will order it.
Probably seeing Bai Huang's emotion, Cheng Yibing, who was sitting opposite him, smiled: "Don't look at me like that, I've heard of this place, and I've never been here." ”
This Nima, brother, I took back a good evaluation of the service, what kind of thing, everyone eats the same, and they don't even let them order.
There are 14 dishes in total, 180 pounds, and 12.5% of the service fee, which is 3,000 pounds small for the 9 people present.
Don't they all say that the pound is very hard?
But no matter how Bai Huang looks at it, he thinks that inflation in the UK is also very strong.
At this moment, Bai Huang's resentment rose rapidly, and then he decided to increase Wang Bochuan's travel expenses.
But soon he had no time to complain, because the plate had already been brought to everyone. The first dish of special oxidized cheese and the second dish of mustard ice cream belong to the taste of Westerners, which is more novel and interesting, but it does not provoke the taste buds of Bai Huang. But the third course of what kind of fairyland in the forest made Bai Riguang, a native bun, cry out - after tasting the truffle slices, the white mist in the small bonsai box was thick, like a fairy tale of Hans Christian Andersen, and then eating the chicken liver jelly that melts in your mouth, which is indeed a bit of a petty bourgeois enjoyment.
The snail porridge that followed was also excellent, the only thing worth criticizing was.
This thing is too small, if it is placed in China, it will not be poked in the backbone and scolded by profiteers.
The fifth course is foie gras, and the sixth course starts with the main course, the best seafood from the Gulf of Norway, and the best lamb in the whole of the UK, one after the other, although the portion is not much, but gradually the stomach is full.
Everyone is young and young, the eldest Chen Yibing is 28 years old, and the youngest is less than 19 years old, and in this atmosphere, there is no restraint at all for the first dinner.
It's just that while eating, Bai Huang was impatient to use a fork, and directly chewed the lamb chops with a knife in one hand.
"Uh......"
The group of young men around were all dumbfounded, although Bai Huang's way of eating is indeed very appetizing and looks heroic, but it is still very difficult to cosplay them.
Soon the main meal ran out, and it was the turn of the Fat Duck Restaurant's most famous dessert after dinner.
But the meat eater Bai Riguang said that he really has no love for desserts, so he can push it away.
Cheng Yibing's face was suddenly full of black lines, and after laughing several times, he simply beckoned to the waiter and asked the restaurant to serve another set meal: "It's okay, I like sweets, I don't lie to you." In the past, I didn't dare to eat more because I had to control my calories, but this time it's finally enough. ”
Then he turned around again and shouted at his little brothers: "Who else hasn't eaten enough, hurry up and say, I'm not responsible for supper at night!" ”
Sure enough, immediately four or five guys hit the snake with the stick, and everyone knew that the big brother was in a very good mood, and even if the slaughtered purse was deflated, he would never frown.
"You bastards!" After scolding angrily, Cheng Yibing raised his cup to Bai Huang again: "Come, Xiaobai, I toast you!" Don't say anything superfluous, I will remember your help to me in this life. ”
Taking the initiative to pick up the wine glass and touching it with Bai Huang, the veteran swallowed half a glass of wine with a squeak.
"Hey, why are you so polite, besides, as long as you have the ability to help you, you will never sit idly by! Who let those referees be brain-dead and embarrassed. Bai Huang smiled, picked up the cup and took a sip.
With him taking the lead, the team members, who were originally bound by the dining environment and couldn't let go, also came over and whispered for a toast.
"What are you doing?" Seeing a group of people surrounding him with ill intentions, Bai Huang immediately glared back: "I won't play anymore, this is a treat or a trick." ”
"Brother Huang, what you said hurts our hearts too much, can't everyone thank you for Brother Cheng's matter?" The guy who twisted his neck and picked up the wine glass immediately retorted: "We don't talk about anything for the sake of the country and the collective, just for Brother Cheng not to regret it, there is no problem with a glass of wine for you, right?" ”
Cha.
Bai Huang was speechless for a moment, this kind of big truth was brought out, what else did he have to say?
But fortunately, it's not domestic, even if it's a drink, it's just a glass per person, and there is no habit of sending bottles and boxes to the table.
But before Bai Huang began to rejoice, someone next to him made his own decisions: "This generation is not enough to drink, so I will help Brother Huang order two cups of the same." ”
……
At around 7 p.m., a group of people giggled and supported each other and reappeared at the entrance of the Olympic Village. Even Cheng Yibing, who has always been steady, is a little fluttering in his footsteps.
Because after eating, everyone added alcohol, and it was all whiskey.
"Hey, if you want me to say, it's delicious here, but you can't let it go, it's a little unenjoyable! Otherwise, there will be no competition tasks anyway, and tomorrow at noon, we will go to Chinatown for another drink. Let's all invite Brother Cheng and Lao Bai, what do you say! A red-faced inch-headed guy smiled and started tomorrow's event schedule.
"Good!"
"This can be had, I support it with both hands and feet!"
As soon as the proposal came out, the others chimed in.
When he arrived at the place where he broke up, Bai Huang originally planned to go back to the room directly, but he was unexpectedly pulled by Cheng Yibing again: "Let's go, Xiaobai will go to sit with us, I haven't digested it yet, why go back." ”
In fact, like the little brother in the team, Cheng Yibing is also full of curiosity about the entire "rehabilitation incident".
How did Bai Huang know that the referee would publish a statement in the newspaper? In this matter, is there any push behind him? If so, how?
Hearing what the eldest brother in the team said, the others immediately started talking together, and they couldn't help but say, so they dragged Bai Huang to the gymnastics team station.
And surrounded by a group of people in the middle, even if Bai Huang resisted desperately, he could only go to the gymnastics team's apartment helplessly like a green worm on the top of an ant.
The young man who walked in front opened the door and turned on the light with his hands and feet, but before he could speak, he froze in place as if he had been caught in a petrified magic.
"Team Leader Ye ......"
"Hey, it's a good day." The man sitting in the middle of the room looked at the group of people at the door for a long time, sniffed and raised his eyebrows: "You still drank wine, it smells like foreign wine?" It's so chic. ”
was so crowded by the team leader, everyone else couldn't speak, only Cheng Yibing stood up: "Team Leader Ye can't blame others for this, I was too happy to forget the discipline and took the initiative to invite them out for a drink." If the team wants to punish, they will punish me alone, and they are all forced by me. ”
But to everyone's surprise, the big man glanced at Cheng Yibing funny, and then his eyes locked on Bai Huang: "To be punished, indeed to be punished!" Such a big event, you just hide and celebrate secretly by yourself with a group of people? If you want to be small, you will be punished for inviting our entire gymnastics team tomorrow. ”
Then in the disbelief of everyone, he stood directly in front of Bai Huang: "There are some things that I won't talk about, and it's not good for you to say it." Just tomorrow, our gymnastics team will collectively invite you to have a meal, don't shirk, okay. ”
"Huh? What do you want me to please? This is your internal celebration feast, right? Bai Huang looked confused, pretending not to understand.
If it is said that with athletes like Cheng Yibing, Bai Huang will not feel uncomfortable, but with the leadership coach, it is another thing. And he also instructed Cheng Yibing not to expose the news that he had revealed, just to worry about some bullshit.
"Alright, you little guy isn't upright at all! Someone saw it yesterday, you came to find Ah Bing, and then he asked for an appeal at night, and today he specially invited you alone, but you are a fool compared to others. Team leader Ofen Touye waved his hand, and then reassured Bai Huang: "Don't worry, no one will bring up this matter in public." If you are exposed, will we still be human? That's it, see you tomorrow! ”
After speaking, he didn't give Bai Huang a chance to refuse, he directly beat this one's chest, patted the man's shoulder, and then walked away with a wicked smile.
"This ......" A group of people looked at each other in confusion, and finally someone said with difficulty: "This, isn't it Team Leader Ye?" He's been parasitized by an alien? ”
……
At noon the next day, it was another meal of nonsense and sea drinking, but this time the gymnastics team went out collectively, just to thank Bai Huang alone.
After finally getting out of the wine table and staggering back to the room, Bai Huang went to the public bathroom to take a shower and began to think about returning to China early.
The purpose of coming to London has been achieved, and there are two seed fragments unexpectedly, so it is boring to stay on.
And no one is watching his old nest, and he always feels a little unsteady in his heart, and he doesn't know what happened to Ah Kun and the Wind Ancient Tree. The institute also urgently needs to be listed and opened, but without a big boss, it can only be delayed again and again.
However, as a newly released magical champion, the attention that Bai Huang has received has obviously exceeded his expectations.
Just as he came out of the bathroom, and his hair was still dry, an uninvited guest came up.
"Hi, I'm Albertman, the head of the FEI Technical Committee, I wonder if our new champion, Your Excellency, can you spare a little time?" The big guy smiled heartily, and after a while, the assistant-like person next to him immediately translated into a language that Bai Huang could understand.
FEI ?
Why is this guy looking for me, do you suspect that I have doped the horses?
Bai Huang looked inside the house, there was really no place to entertain guests, so he had to spread his hands with a smile, and then said suspiciously: "I'm sorry, the place is too small." So tell me, what's going on? ”
It can be seen that the big man who claims to be an official of the International Equestrian Federation does not care about the environment here, and only cares about dancing with passion on his face: "%¥#...... ¥&%(*! ”
"I mean, I hope to invite Mr. Bai Huang as next year's Dubai Horse Racing World Cup! As long as you're willing to race, my friend will pay you a share of the prize money that is far greater than the average rider. Of course, Dubai Racing is just the beginning of the partnership, and if you wish, you can build a long-term relationship and compete in all the top races. ”
This kind of good thing, why find yourself? Besides, Dubai Horse Racing seems to be a speed race, and I've never competed in a speed race before.
Why is this big man of the International Equestrian Federation so optimistic about his appearance?
As soon as Bai Huang said the doubts in his heart, he immediately laughed.
"It's very simple, young sir, your horses are registered with the International Equestrian Federation. Although they are already the best choice in the whole of China, they are really not the top horses in the world. And during the London race, there was no dedicated trainer for the two horses. It can be said that being able to win three gold medals in one fell swoop is all a reflection of your personal strength, and it has nothing to do with the horse. Albertman flattered him so much that he almost said that Bai Huang was the embodiment of God.
"Now you understand, you're the one who works miracles! So my friend, after enjoying your performance, would be happy to let you take the wheel of his race. Top-notch, speed racing, don't you want to give it a try? ”
I have to say that this ghost guy's words are indeed very demagogic, and he wants to replace it with Wang Bochuan's ghost granddaughter, and he is so excited that he collapses.
But the most crucial problem is that Bai Huang doesn't want to be a rider at all, he is only quite a horse owner.
The prize money for speed racing is huge, but 6 or 70 percent of it goes to the owner, and then the rider gets about 20 percent, and the remaining 10 percent is paid by the trainer.
Being a rider or being a horse owner, which of the two is higher or lower, is simply a judgment between the superior and the inferior.
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Huang decided to test this guy.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Director, but I'm not really a horse racer, I think you know a little bit about that?" Bai Huang put on a sincere expression, but in fact, as long as people who are familiar with this guy will definitely subconsciously clench their wallets, and will not be like Alberman, who still smiles like a fool.
"Well, but it doesn't matter, you have to be clear about the facts!" The big man's expression and movements are exaggerated: "That is, you are already one of the best riders on the planet, and you are only 22 years old!" Oh my God, those middle-aged people on the track, if they realized that, I guess they would be desperate. ”
"......" watched Alberman dance with his hands, and the assistant next to him had no time to interpret at the same time, Bai Huang had to interrupt the other party: "Actually, my real identity is a horse farm owner, a person who breeds top horse races, not a rider. This time I just made a cameo and won't be competing again. ”
"What? Horse...... Horse...... Horse ranchers? ”
Albertman was unprepared for this answer, and his mouth looked like a big black fish on the shore, and it couldn't close when it opened it.
Rubbing his ears vigorously, this guy said with a ghostly expression: "Are you kidding?" If you're a horse rancher, why do you race on someone else's horse? ”
Yes, this kid must be perfunctory.
"Because my racecourse is just getting started, the first race horses won't come out until the year after that." Bai Huang estimated that there was no problem with this time.
In the beginning, you didn't need to breed and breed yourself, you just bought ponies from outside and trained them. When the first horses have finished their speed racing careers, it is just in time for breeding.
Hearing Bai Huang say this, Albertman's face turned green, and he felt that this kid was simply playing with himself.
But his long time with the upper class has given him unparalleled patience: "As a senior in the equestrian world, I have to remind you that it is impossible to breed a champion horse in just a dozen years. Moreover, your country is not an animal disease-free area recognized by the European Union, and even if it is bred and it is not convenient to export it abroad. ”
"Well, Mr. Director, actually, I haven't had time to explain that my ancestors raised horses for the emperor, such as the royal horse trainer of the British royal family." Bai Huang is blowing nonsense, and he doesn't even blink his eyelids.
"The Royal Horse Trainer?" Alberman was stunned, half skeptical, half in awe.
Just as he was stunned, someone came again.
I'm never going to sell it again, really. In the past, when the daylight pit Hong Fat Man died, he was pointed out by a book friend that he couldn't let the grievances stay overnight, and the second time he made this mistake, he ......%>_
