Chapter 312: The curtain opens
[Thank you GRWNBABCAT for your monthly pass support!] 】
Man Qing rarely speaks, Zhang Yulin and Huang Jiqiu, she is not very strange, but these two are anglers along the river, and it is not appropriate for her to interject. In addition, as a personal reporter by the riverside, she needs to record all the trips along the riverside.
The Chinese restaurant that Zhang Yulin said was not far from the place of the competition. Because the Lake Kentucky often hosts fishing tournaments, it has gradually gained a certain reputation in the United States, and the scenery here is not bad, and there is an endless stream of tourists from all over the world who come here every year.
The Chinese surnamed Li opened a Chinese restaurant, and it didn't just sell Chinese food. In fact, other food products are sold here.
"Boss Li, I'm here again." When Zhang Yulin arrived at the door of the restaurant, he said loudly to Li Yucheng, the owner of the restaurant who was greeting guests inside.
"Oh, it's Xiao Zhang. Hey, there are a few compatriots, welcome. Li Yucheng looked at it and greeted him.
"Boss Li, these two are also players participating in this competition, this is Jiangbian, and this is Huang Jiqiu. You're busy. We found a place for ourselves and ordered the food first. Zhang Yulin said.
"It's okay, it's okay. I don't have a lot of customers at this restaurant either. I'll beckon you to order the food first. Have friends come from afar, are you happy? There are really not many Chinese here, and seeing you is like seeing relatives. Li Yucheng said.
Li Yucheng saw Jiangbian, walked over and held Jiangbian's hand and said, "Your name is Jiangbian, I know you." In China, you are the champion. I've seen it in the publicity of this fishing tournament. ”
Jiangbian really didn't expect him to be so famous.
"I'm lucky, too." Jiangbian was a little embarrassed to be praised.
"Don't be modest. I'm optimistic about you. If you win the championship this time, I will hold a celebration banquet for you here. It would be interesting if you were like in Star City and won all the top three. Li Yucheng said with a smile.
"That's a good idea. But first of all, I will accept your good words. Huang Jiqiu said with a smile.
Although it looks like Chinese food, it is actually a little different from real Chinese food, and even if the ingredients are relatively close, the ingredients are a nuisance. Although there are many Chinese in the United States, these people have made some changes to Chinese food.
However, although there are some differences, several people are still able to accept it. Not to mention the riverside. When this guy was in Mid-Levels Village, he was able to solve two large bowls just by eating white rice.
However, Manqing was a little uncomfortable.
Jiangbian saw that Manqing had eaten a little less, and was a little worried, "What?" Not to taste? Jiang Bian naturally asked secretly when Li Yucheng was leaving.
Man Qing nodded slightly, "Alas, it's not out of taste, I just think this Chinese food is a little weird." ”
Zhang Yulin said with a smile, "Here, it is already very good to be able to eat Chinese food with this taste." It's not like those places where Chinese people gather, and it's not very different from China. Here, the ingredients are not so authentic, and the dishes naturally have a strange taste. ”
"Let's make do with some food first, and then I'll find a way to get you some authentic Chinese food?" Jiangbian whispered.
Man Qing smiled slightly and nodded. I don't know if it's because of the thoughtfulness of the riverside or because of the authentic Chinese food.
Jiangbian didn't seem to have much impact, as usual, he ate two big bowls, even Zhang Yulin and Huang Jiqiu were ashamed of themselves, but Man Qing only ate a little, and it seemed that he deliberately stayed on his stomach and waited for the Chinese food by the riverside.
After a few people had eaten, the three men rushed to pay the bill, but Li Yucheng refused to accept the money.
"That's not good, if you refuse to collect money, we won't dare to come here when we win the championship." Jiang Bian said, taking some money and putting it on the service desk and asking the waiter to settle the bill. …,
Li Yucheng was helpless, so he had to ask the waiter to settle the account.
Several people went back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, Man Qing asked Jiangbian with some doubts, "Can you wait where you go and get me authentic Chinese food?" ”
Jiang Bian shook his head, "Where do you ask me to get Chinese food for a while?" ”
"Then how did you just promise that. I didn't have enough to eat. Manqing complained.
"You can't get Chinese food, but snacks with Chinese characteristics shouldn't be a problem. You wait here for a while. Ebebe smiled.
Jiangbian walked out, found a remote place, and conjured up some ingredients as if by magic. Then I found a place where I could cook it myself, turned the ingredients into cooked food, and packed it in a lunch box.
Manqing didn't eat much at dinner, and he was already hungry at this time.
"This guy, I don't know where he went, he hasn't come back for so long." Man Qing was wondering if to go out and order something to eat, but at this time, she heard the door click.
Man Qing walked out to take a look, but saw the riverside walking in with a few food boxes.
"What is this?" Man Qing asked strangely.
"If you open it and take a look, you'll know!" Ebebe laughed.
Man Qing took the food box from the riverside, and a faint fragrance came to his nose.
"Huh?" Just smelling this fragrance, Manqing has a kind of index finger movement.
Hurriedly opened the food box, and the first box contained crab shell yellow, which was shaped like a crab shell and colored like crab roe. The small shortbread is exquisitely made, layer by layer as thin as a cicada's wings, and it really shows kung fu.
Man Qingzhong grabbed one from it and sent it directly into his mouth.
"Girl, you haven't washed your hands!" Ebebe laughed.
"You also said that I had been waiting for a long time, and my stomach was almost hungry. If you don't come, I'll have to order takeout. Manqing said. The main thing is that these things are more time-consuming. Plus, it's so easy to find the right ingredients here. Ebebe explained.
Man Qing ate a piece before asking, "Where did you get this crab shell yellow?" Did you go to Boss Li's restaurant again? ”
"If he had it, how could he not put it in the recipe? I prayed to heaven just now, saying that my mother-in-law was hungry, but I didn't expect a few pieces of crab shell yellow to fall from the sky. Once it's hot, it's ready to eat. Ebebe smiled.
Naturally, Man Qing would not believe the nonsense of the riverside.
"Who is your mother-in-law? If you dare to tell me that in Qiantang, maybe I will be moved to tears. Manqing said.
This is on the point, Jiang Bian didn't know what to say, in this regard, Jiang Bian always felt that he owed Man Qing and others.
Seeing that Jiangbian didn't speak, Man Qing whispered, "Do you think I'm too stupid?" I knew there were so many girls around you, but I pounced like a moth. But come to think of it, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened. ”
"I also think I'm greedy. When I was in the middle of the village, I thought that as long as I married a mother-in-law like Huijun, I would be content in this life. But now, I want you all to stay with me. Kawabe said.
"You're a big badass. But why are you my nemesis? Man Qing said faintly.
"Forget it, I told you, I'm hungry. Let's take a look, what's in the other two food boxes? Man Qing diverted the topic. Manqing is a cheerful girl, and she doesn't want to talk about such a heavy topic all the time.
In the second food box, there are fish-flavored spring rolls, and the skin of the spring rolls is as thin as paper, round as a mirror, transparent and soft. Fish-flavored spring rolls, as the name suggests, are filled with sea bass meat supplemented with shrimp to make a filling, and the fish flavor is rich.
"Hey, it's fish-flavored spring rolls. Mmmm, it's delicious. Manqing was taken aback without any image. If outsiders see it, who would dare to believe that this is the most beautiful female anchor with an elegant temperament on Qianjiang Satellite TV? …,
But in front of the riverside, Man Qing had no scruples.
"Where did you get the fish-flavored spring rolls by the river? Don't tell you again that it fell from heaven. Manqing looked at the riverside expectantly and said.
Jiangbian nodded, "You're right. This time it really didn't fall from the sky. This time it came out of the ground. ”
"You damn riverside, you see I can't clean up." Man Qing angrily put the greasy in his hand directly to Jiangbian's face.
Jiangbian didn't pay attention for a while, and directly let Man Qing succeed.
"Haha, haha." Manqing smiled happily.
Jiangbian looked at Man Qing's happy appearance, and he was a little stunned, and even forgot to wipe off the grease on his face.
Man Qing didn't want to go, took a few napkins, and carefully wiped the greasy on Jiangbian's face.
"Oh, I'll have to save my stomach for one last course. Take a look, what exactly? Man Qing ate with relish, almost didn't eat a box of fish-flavored spring rolls directly, and suddenly remembered that there was still a food box that had not been opened, so he hurriedly put the food box in his hand aside.
Man Qing opened a food box placed at the bottom, and an elegant aroma of eel meat immediately filled the air. This is the staple food prepared by the river for Manqing - shrimp fried eel noodles. The noodles are smooth, the shrimp are white, and the eel is crispy. Just looking at the appearance of this food will make people's hearts itch.
Jiangbian knew where to take a pair of chopsticks and handed them over.
This time, Man Qing directly ignored how Jiangbian took out the chopsticks, and didn't ask Jiangbian how to make shrimp fried eel noodles.
On this day, Jiangbian gave her too many surprises, and Man Qing was no longer surprised.
Man Qing took the chopsticks casually and ate them in a big gulp.
"You can't blame me if you choke." Jiangbian hurriedly warned. He didn't expect Man Qing to be so unfazed.
"Jiangbian, you got me so many delicious foods, did you plan to make me eat fat, and I won't be able to marry in the future?" Manqing said.
"Not necessarily, maybe it's getting fatter and cuter." Ebebe laughed.
"Am I not lovely in your eyes now? Or am I an ugly bastard in your eyes? Man Qing stopped his chopsticks and asked.
"No, you are always a big beauty in my eyes." Jiangbian's stance on the major issue of right and wrong is quite firm.
Competing professionally in the U.S. isn't as comfortable as competing in China. You have to solve your own problems when you play and live here. Think about it, when you are competing in China, it is simply the feeling of being an uncle.
Each leg is divided into four days, with the first and second days being qualifiers, with 200 professional and 200 amateur players paired up to calculate the results. The top 10 professional players who advance to the third and fourth days of the ranking tournament will enter the ranking tournament on the third and fourth days, and the final result will be calculated based on the total points of the first six races.
As the first stop of the year, the Kentucky Lake Station is naturally particularly eye-catching. The day before the race, news media from around the world began to gather on Kentucky Lake.
With three domestic players participating in the competition, the Chinese media also paid special attention to this event. In addition to the original national television fishing channel, the national television sports channel will also broadcast the game live during the period. In addition, many domestic media, including Qianjiang Satellite TV, paid great attention to this game.
"The first stop of this World Fishing Championship, the Kentucky Lake Station will have three Chinese figures. Although it is not the first time that Chinese anglers have participated in the event in the United States, this time, everyone's hopes seem to be even more fervent. Among the three Chinese anglers, Jiangbian won the Chinese championship with undisputed results. His amazing performance in China made the country's fishing enthusiasts hope for him even more. Han Qiao Province is the host of the main commentary of the fishing competition on the national television station. …,
Han Qiao Province has a lot of fun on national television, but his ability is not weak. In the commentary of football, he can explain diving, and in the commentary of diving, he can also explain boxing.
"All three of our competitors have already made it to Lake Kentucky. Our reporter interviewed them, and they said that although this competition is their first time in the United States, they will play their best. Strive to achieve good results and live up to everyone's expectations of them. Han Qiaoxing said.
If you sit in front of the TV by the river, you will definitely wonder when you listen to it: When did you say that your consciousness is so high?
Qianjiang Satellite TV's report is almost an interview with Jiangbian. This time, Qianjiang Satellite TV is indeed the first to get the first month, with the translator of Man Qing, Qianjiang Satellite TV can always get the latest news from the river in the first time.
Although Jiangbian has not participated in the fishing tournament tour before, so there is no international ranking, but the fishing association still has a good rating for Jiangbian based on his performance in China. The potential value is also relatively high. However, compared with those old fritters, Jiangbian is naturally a new newcomer.
Jiangbian came to the United States in a bit of a hurry, so he didn't even have the jet lag reversed, and he was about to start participating in the competition. This has also worried the Chinese audience.
But fortunately, the physical fitness of the riverside is very comparable, and it seems that it has not been affected in any way. However, his not very competent translator Manqing was still groggy and could not adapt to it. Fortunately, Jiangbian had some pills in his hand that would help his body recover, and Manqing recovered relatively quickly.
There is no fixed partner by the riverside. So it can only be randomly arranged by the organizer. It was a black man named Robles. Jiangbian always thought it was shredded radish.
Robles was a very cheerful young man.
"Jiang, I like Chinese culture very much, the Great Wall, I have been there. And the Chinese are very welcoming. There are also a lot of beautiful girls. Very welcoming. "Robles has a good impression of China.
Eibe's first impression of Robles was terrible, "Shredded Radish, I'm also very interested in the United States, and I've always liked American beauties." ”
As soon as the riverside came, he fought against Robles.
However, the translator did not let Jiangbian get his wish, Manqing glanced at Jiangbian, and Jiangbian's words became in Manqing's mouth, "I also like the United States, American girls are very beautiful and enthusiastic." Black friends in the United States are the kindest. ”
Seeing such a high evaluation by the riverside, Robles insisted on being excited.
Jiang Bian looked dumbfounded and said, "This American is really strange, why is it so cool to be scolded?" ”
"Manqing, did you tell Robles what I said just now?"
"Why didn't you say it. By the way, Jiangbian, when are you going to communicate with American beauties? Manqing's words seemed to have a knife hidden in the cotton.
Jiangbian has some people who want to win glory for the country, but does he dare to say this?
"That's, shredded radish. How good is your level of fishing? "Along the river is still a little concerned about what kind of situation will be with his partner in the next few days.
Robles seemed insulted, "Jiang, I have to tell you. I'm from a fishing family. Our family has been fishing for generations, and then from my grandfather's time, he entered the city and worked as a laborer in the city. But fishing has always been a tradition in our family. ”
"What's the biggest fish you've ever caught?" Ebebe asked a very specific question.
Robles thought for a moment, "Let me think, you know, some memories are too old for me to think clearly. It seems like last August, I caught a 10-inch largemouth bass. ”
Man Qing is not very familiar with the measurement of inches, "By the river, is a 10-inch fish very big?" ”…,
"I don't know. However, the smallest fish must be over 12 inches. "Egamibe remembers the rules very well.
"It's not bad, I'm almost able to meet the target." Man Qing said with a smile.
Jiangbian was helpless, but fortunately, he really didn't care much about his assistant.
Two days before the competition, Robles was more of Riverside's English teacher than a partner at Riverside.
Jiang Bian also began to slowly learn about another side effect of this cultivation, and it seemed that after cultivating, his brain was better used. After spending two days with Robles, I learned a lot of spoken English sentences. I can't speak English, but at least I can understand some simple commands of a fishing tournament.
For Kawabe, this was enough, because Manqing would not be able to follow Kawabe to the competition. At that time, Ebebe had to listen to the orders issued by the organizers, and also had to communicate with Robles as necessary.
"If I knew, I should have given you English training earlier. How sorry would it be if you lost the game because of the language barrier? Manqing said.
Jiangbian was not worried at all, "Don't worry, girl. ”
"It's exciting time again. This year's fishing tournament kicks off today. Fishermen from all over the world will compete in the beautiful Lake Kentucky.
Who will be the last king? Who is the pride of the sky in Lake Kentucky? Let's get into this exciting game together! ABC TV commentator Harvey said enthusiastically.
