No. 1073 Foreigners play antiques
Judging from the exquisite arrangement of silver tableware and flowers everywhere, Etike obviously took a lot of thought about the arrival of Li Lumei and his party, and only the aperitif and the red and white wine for the main meal were filled with two carts.
The servants seemed to be tireless, bringing in the freshest truffles, foie gras, plenty of seafood, sauerkraut bacon, Normandy stew, etc., and set them aside.
Not to mention the dessert after the meal, the chefs bring the famous cheese, bacon, egg tart, and plenty of whipped cream and fruit into the restaurant before you even start eating.
"I thought there was only a domestic meal Lang fee, and it was the same for foreigners for a long time."
Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, Fuji Yi immediately retracted his gaze, looked at the ceiling blankly, pursed his lips, and snorted disdainfully.
Liu Yuhao laughed, waved his hand and said: "People are kind enough to entertain you, but you still say some weird things behind your back, this wronged boss is also wronged." ”
Fuji Yi glanced at Li Lumei, who was talking to Etic, and then looked at Liu Yuhao, opened his mouth and then closed it again, and said secretly in his heart: "That bad old man wants to entertain Sister Lumei, and the few of us are just 'chance encounters'." ”
Liu Yuhao smiled faintly, did not speak, and took a sip of the aperitif.
In fact, a glance at Fuji Yi and Liu Yuhao can tell what he is thinking in his heart, but with Xiao Nizi on the side, some words are really hard to say.
After the first plate, entering the main meal, the chef quickly fished out two three-pound lobsters from the pot and quickly peeled off the shrimp shells, and immediately the waiter stepped forward to remove the shrimp meat with a silver dinner knife and served it while it was hot.
Liu Yuhao pointed to the main dish on the table and said with a smile: "Tengyi, this blue lobster is unique to France, and you can't eat it even if you have money in China, do you want to taste it?" ”
"It's red, but how can you say it's a blue lobster?"
Fuji Yi looked at the lobster on the table and was stunned, scratched his head and asked curiously.
Liu Yuhao pouted at the chef behind him and said, "See, isn't the lobster in the fish tank next to the cook blue?" ”
"Hey, really, Brother Liu, how can a lobster grow blue, it's too weird."
Fuji Yi glanced back, and suddenly couldn't help but whisper a little surprise.
Liu Yuhao smiled helplessly and shook his head, and said: "You think I know everything in an encyclopedia, I also heard Zhou Xina kid mention it once, he said that this kind of blue lobster is very rare, and its survivability is very poor, so he can only eat fresh, like such a big blue lobster, at least it has lived for more than twenty years." ”
Teng Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes were rounder than beads, he smashed his mouth, and said: "This old man is really ridiculous, drunk and dreaming of death, poor and extravagant, arrogant and extravagant!" ”
Probably Fuji Yi will also have such a few words to describe the arrogance and luxury of other people's lives, and this will be poured out.
"Poof"
Xiao Nizi finally smiled, her cold pretty cheeks shining brightly, almost blinding the eyes of the men at the table.
The reason why Xiao Nizi was angry just now was that she thought that Etik didn't know how to be polite, so she talked nonsense on the dock without asking, and even put Liu Yuhao and Li Lumei in the position of the family.
Although everyone didn't mention the unpleasant incident afterwards, through the observation of Xiao Nizi, it was found that Etik's attention was all focused on Li Lumei, and for a few of them, at most, they had to deal with it without a match.
Since she is just an "old pervert", Xiao Nizi will naturally no longer be willing to fall into trouble with it, so the anger on her face suddenly subsided a little, and the depression in her heart was naturally reduced to the minimum.
However, when Xiao Nizi looked at Etik again, in addition to the coldness in her beautiful eyes, there was another layer of disdainful disdain.
"Sister Jiayi, am I not right?"
Teng Yi's ears turned red, and after he finished speaking, he smiled wryly, and squeezed his eyes at Liu Yuhao again.
"There's nothing wrong with that."
He Jiayi was still very polite to Teng Yi, pursing her lips and smiling.
But then Xiao Nizi smiled and said: "French cuisine represents delicacy, elegance and elegance, and all food is incomparable in sight, smell, taste, and touch, but after he explained, how did I feel that it had become a vulgar thing." ”
"I'm a vulgar thing, so what? Aren't you marrying me the same thing? ”
Liu Yuhao said with a smile.
In fact, he naturally knew that Xiao Nizi made fun of himself as a vulgar thing, and if he had the opportunity to make Xiao Nizi deflated, how could he show weakness? Immediately grasp the key point and fight back.
Xiao Nizi glanced at Liu Yuhao, and a beautiful face that was happy and disgusted showed a faint look, but she didn't argue with Liu Yuhao.
This is Xiao Nizi's cleverness, she knows that she is not Liu Yuhao's opponent, but whenever she encounters this situation, she generally adopts the method of static braking.
Anyway, in the end, Liu Yuhao still has to beg for mercy obediently, why bother to talk for a while!
Liu Yuhao shook his head sadly when he saw that Xiao Nizi had used the old method again.
At this time, Li Lumei put down the knife and fork in her hand and looked over, and the two looked at each other. Looking at the pretty cheeks as bright as peach blossoms, Liu Yuhao's heart jumped suddenly, and his old face blushed.
"Mr. Etik, this friend of mine is a well-known expert in antiques in China, you can exchange your collecting experience with him."
Li Lumei's cheeks showed a shallow smile, which looked extremely moving, and her red lips were like arcs when she opened slightly, even if a woman saw it, she would inevitably not be moved.
In fact, Li Lumei was really forced to make a false deal with the old man with a lustful and greedy expression on his face just now, and it was not easy to find an excuse now, and he didn't immediately push Liu Yuhao to the forefront.
And she herself forcibly suppressed the disgust in her heart and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I guess we can communicate in English, Mr. Liu should be able to, right?"
Etick first muttered a string of words that Liu Yuhao didn't understand, and then showed a faint look of pride, and raised his head slightly to look down at Liu Yuhao.
Liu Yuhao has always ignored this kind of subconscious brave and ruthless behavior, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Etick, I don't know much about your country, maybe we won't have much in common." ”
This is tantamount to a disguised rejection.
Who knew that Etick didn't care at all, laughed, and said: "Mr. Liu, I didn't expect you to speak English so fluently, if I had known this, we would have been able to communicate in English from the beginning." ”
Liu Yuhao didn't answer, and looked at Etik's eyes with a smile.
At this moment, no one knows what Liu Yuhao is thinking, only Etik himself can understand the strange feeling that he seems to have been seen through at a glance.
If Etick knew that Liu Yuhao had actually released the Heavenly Eye just now, and instantly understood the filthiness in his heart, he didn't know what he would feel in his heart
After the meal, the two women went to the terrace to drink tea, but Etik pestered Liu Yuhao to the end, and had to communicate with him about the so-called Chinese antiques, Teng Yi had to follow Li Lumei and them silently, but his eyes kept staring at the door of the study that Liu Yuhao walked into, and kept the highest vigilance at any time.
"Mr. Liu, do you know this object?"
After entering the study, Etick smiled very proudly, reached into his arms and took out a cowhide bag, poured out a string of beads from it, and put it in his hand to show off to Liu Yuhao.
The old man's words "object" are clear and fluent, and his pronunciation is extraordinarily standard.
Liu Yuhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the string of beads, first slightly stunned, then secretly frowned, and said, "Mr. Etik, how can you have such a thing?" ”
Appearing in the palm of Etik's hand is a string of bone beads, to be exact, actually the exclusive object of Tibetan Buddhism, which they call Gabala.
To put it bluntly, it is something made from human bones.
Etik didn't seem to notice the sudden change in Liu Yuhao's face, and still said with a smug expression: "Mr. Liu, the so-called Buddha masters in your country should all use this to recite scriptures, right?" ”
Liu Yuhao was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said coldly: "Mr. Etik, Buddhism and Tibetan Tantra are two different things, and I can't explain them clearly in a few words, I think we should not be entangled in this issue." ”
Buddhism talks about birth, asceticism, epiphany, and compassion for the world is the basic spirit of Buddhism, which is mostly reflected in Han Buddhism.
However, in the past Tibetan Tantra, some spiritual things became tools of class rule, and then institutionalized into the idea of theocracy.
Those Liu Yuhao didn't understand, and he didn't want to figure it out, and he didn't want to discuss it with a foreigner in a foreign country.
But the human skin, human bones, and human blood used by those senior lamas when chanting the scriptures did make Liu Yuhao feel terrified. As for what the teachers said when he was in school, such as what to take the bones of serfs and use them as magic weapons, Liu Yuhao was even more reluctant to get involved.
Etik still had to show off, and said: "Isn't Mr. Liu a famous antique expert in China?" Why can't you even understand the beads made of this kind of relics? This makes me wonder if you are really an antique expert, Mr. Liu. ”
Liu Yuhao smiled coldly and said, "Why do you see that Mr. Etik is holding a Buddhist bead made of relics?" ”
Etik did not explain, but said in a heartfelt manner: "My string of Buddha beads is a small piece of Buddha beads from the eyebrows and heart bones of the high monk after Nirvana, and finally made up a hundred and eight pieces, in your words, this is a priceless treasure!" ”
Liu Yuhao almost vomited out all his lunch without disgust, and sneered: "One hundred and eight? Mr. Etik, you may be mistaken. ”
"How is it possible, I have counted tens of thousands of times, and I will not be wrong."
Etik was unconvinced, his face flushed, and he tried to argue.
