Beijing Film Academy Continuing Education Center

At noon that day, after finishing the day's acting class, Jiang Yelin had just walked out of the teaching building surrounded by Zheng Zishi and Jiang Ge's personal guards, but bumped into Xu Ganbao, who had been waiting at the foot of the steps of the teaching building for a long time.

"Coach Xu, why is it so coincidental, there is no football game in the academy today? You don't train those national players at the training base, why are you here for us? You can't be trying to recruit me into the national team, right? I've been looking forward to it for a few days! ”

Zheng Zishi asked before Jiang Yelin, and bounced on the spot a few times, looking like he was eager to try.

"Jiang Yelin, I've been waiting for you to get out of class for a long time, let's find a place to talk, don't other students come with you?" Xu Ganbao smiled and stretched out his hand, but ignored Zheng Zishi, who was in the middle, and shook Jiang Yelin's hand.

"Okay, you guys go back first, I have something to do with Director Xu, and I have something to call me when I turn around" Jiang Yelin didn't think much about it, waved his hand and sent away his guard corps, Zou Xiaoxun made a grimace at Xu Ganbao before leaving,

"Coach Xu, don't think about fooling our future big star to the football field and sweating all over the mud, that's not Django's way to go!"

"Why don't we go to the guest house cafeteria? It's just the time for dinner, and I'm going to treat you today! Enough meat buns! ”

Xu Ganbao hesitated for a moment, and decided that going to the canteen was the easiest, if he wanted to invite Jiang Yelin to the restaurant outside, he was afraid that the money around him would not be enough.

"Don't mind, Director Xu, you have to call me early, how can I let you stand alone for a long time and wait for me, you are two rounds older than me in terms of age, go, I have a treat today, and I will send you back by the way after dinner!" What kind of restaurant does Coach Xu like? The western restaurant of Youyi Hotel is actually good! ”

Jiang Yelin didn't allow to break up and pulled Xu Ganbao away, didn't take a few steps, Xu Ganbao didn't have a chance to be polite, and he didn't have much money around him, so he had to say, "Then just find a small restaurant, let's have a light meal and have a good chat!" ”

"Hey...... Nacheng, then go to the Blue Moon Bar on the second floor of Yelin Apartment, the environment is relatively quiet, and there are also Western business packages, you can rest assured, it's not expensive, I know you're embarrassed to let me, a poor student, break the bank! ”

As soon as Jiang Yelin said this, Xu Ganbao nodded, such a little way, it was only a matter of a few minutes, Jiang Yelin was actually very low-key in the Beiying Community, especially the Film Academy, and he always relied on walking to get in and out, and he didn't even ask Liang Huan to drive a Mercedes-Benz to pick him up.

As if there was a tacit understanding, the two of them wore sunglasses as soon as they went out, obviously not wanting to be recognized all the way, the top scorer of the academy league and the coach of the national team walked side by side on the main road of the Beiying community, and the return rate was probably not much less than on the street.

Familiar with the road, Jiang Yelin took Xu Ganbao to the bar on the second floor of Yelin Hotel Apartment, because it was noon, the popularity in the bar was not as good as at night, so it was much cleaner, Blue Moon's consumption level was not for ordinary students, a delicate business meal cost 48 yuan, and a single cup of coffee also cost 20, which is a place for students who are shy in their pockets to work rather than squander.

Xu Ganbao's salary as the coach of the national team is only about 300, and after reading the menu handed by the beautiful waitress, he blurted out and made his debut,

"Xiao Jiang, things are not cheap here! It's too expensive! Let's change the family, and we have to eat 100 yuan for this meal! Outside the two bowls of noodles can be done for a maximum of ten yuan! ”

"It's not cheap, but it's worth the money, the chef here, used to be a second chef in the western restaurant of the Youyi Hotel, the western food is still very authentic, the material is enough and fresh, Xu guides you to lead the team to go abroad to participate in the competition and live in the hotel to eat a lot, this foreign-related hotel apartment, the service standard is actually 4 stars, this price is not expensive! I'm in for a treat, so you can order with peace of mind."

Jiang Yelin stretched out his hand and pressed Xu Ganbao, who was about to get up, and said to the waitress with a smile, "I'm still the same, just business package A!" ”

"Set A, do you want a drink or coffee?" The waitress wrote down in her notebook with neat hands and feet, and the black apron and white gauze hat on her head looked like an English maid.

"Mineral water!" Jiang Yelin considered Xu Genbao's feelings as the coach of the national team, and he didn't call it such a stimulating thing as coffee, in fact, Xu Genbao liked to drink some coffee to suppress his mind before the competition.

"Okay, sir, in fact, our new Xiling steak is very popular, do you want to try it?" After the waiter wrote down Jiang Yelin's list, he turned around and asked Xu Qianbao, who was still looking for cheap things on the menu. "Xiling steak? It's 36 yuan for a piece, which is too expensive! There is no braised lion's head and a bowl of rice! Xu Ganbao simply closed the menu.

Jiang Yelin smiled slightly and didn't speak, and the waitress here said embarrassed after hearing this, "I'm sorry, we are a Western restaurant, and we don't provide Chinese dishes like braised lion's head...... Why don't you try blanched prawns? Very fresh prawns...... ""Big prawns? How much does it cost? "Xu Ganbao is a native of the magic capital, in addition to the braised lion's head, fish and shrimp are actually loved to eat, if this shrimp is not too expensive, at most wait for their own payment or AA ready." Actually, it's okay, 76 yuan a ......" The waitress's answer made Xu Ganbao gasp, and quickly shook his head and said no!

Jiang Yelin saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he called the waitress over and instructed a few words in his ear, the waitress was a little surprised when she heard this, but she still nodded, and turned to Xu Ganbao, "Sir, do you think this will work, I will give you a special package of 20 yuan, including braised lion's head, Italian soup, stir-fried broccoli and rice, and the drink is included, do you drink coffee, cola or lemon tea?" "20 yuan, hiss, Xiao Jiang, wait for each of us to pay for it, don't break the bank too much, then bring me a special meal of 20, plus coffee!" Xu Qianbao rubbed his hands and finally nodded.

The advantage of a Western restaurant is that the serving is faster than the Chinese food, after all, there are only a few kinds of Western food back and forth, and the side dishes are easy to make and simple. "How does it taste? Coach Xu, do you have anything special to eat? Jiang Yelin asked Xu Qianbao opposite with a smile while cutting the black pepper steak on his plate. Hmm, strange, the dishes in this Blue Moon Bar Western restaurant are very strange, how to eat the taste of beef with braised lion's head, well, it's very tender, and the taste is really good! It's delicious! A little sweeter would be perfect! “

Xu Ganbao ate the braised lion's head, squinted his eyes and tasted it for a while, and the expression on his face was very colorful. "Ha, Director Xu, in fact, this braised lion's head is made of sirloin steak crushed and kneaded with starch into a ball, fried in an oil pan first, and then burned with soup, of course, it is the taste of beef!"

Jiang Yelin uncovered the mystery, and Xu Ganbao was stunned, "Didn't the sirloin steak cost 36 yuan, wouldn't the restaurant lose money and make money?" "That's not, the first guide is that you are a distinguished guest of the restaurant, and second, when a whole piece of sirloin steak is sold for 36 pieces, the price of broken is of course much cheaper than a whole piece, Xu Gui, you think it is delicious, eat well, I am down-to-earth, can you do me a favor?" Let's concentrate on destroying these things in front of us in a down-to-earth manner, okay? “

As soon as Jiang Yelin said this, Xu Ganbao's old face turned red, and he finally nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Jiang, I have received your heart, strange, is the chef of this restaurant your friend?" It's so easy to talk to! The taste is really interesting! “

The two talked and laughed, Jiang Yelin talked about the jokes and stories in the film academy class, and Xu Genbao mentioned some allusions and people and things when he played football back then, and neither side mentioned the performance of the national football team in the past three years, the preparation for the Asian Cup in front of him and Xu Genbao's intention today.

Xu Ganbao's eating speed was like that of a soldier, three times five divided by two points was not slow, not much effort, two Xiling steaks transformed from braised lion head, a small bowl of Italian Luo Song soup and broccoli were all wiped out, and a bowl of rice was added.

Of course, Jiang Yelin is not slow, he has not had the habit of wasting food since he was a child, when he was in a welfare home, there was not much time to eat, and when he lived alone, he couldn't waste it.

After a while, Xu Ganbao said, "Xiao Jiang, the national team coaching staff held two meetings for your business, the first pass is to convince Lao Gao, his first impression of you is not good, but he still recognizes your football talent, the second level is to report to the leader, the leader is not as difficult as expected, the ball is kicked back to the coaching staff, and we want to make the most beneficial decision for team training." "Now the national team has a decision?" Jiang Yelin took out a cigarette and handed it over, Xu Ganbao shook his hand to indicate that he would not smoke, Jiang Yelin put the cigarette back, played with the lighter in his hand and asked. "Of course there is a decision, otherwise how would I have made a special trip to you today, you are an amateur player, and the first thing to solve the identity problem is to be selected, we consider two options, the first is to be affiliated to the Locomotive Sports Association, and the second is to be directly affiliated to the Sports Committee Training Bureau, of course, this is just a matter of formalities!"

Looking at Xu Ganbao's expectation, Jiang Yelin was quite moved in his heart, this is a coach who has devoted himself to the cause of Chinese football, and he is also a guy who does not admit defeat and does not give up the pursuit. "Coach Xu, after the next World Cup, it is said that the football game will score three points for winning, and one point for each draw. Jiang Yelin's tone was very gentle. "Hey! Don't say it, the skills are not as good as others, so you have to be ashamed and brave, you have to be really strong, and win every game that should be won, Chinese football should not be what it is today! Xiao Jiang, the Asian Cup is about to start, and the national team needs your joining! "Xu Ganbao's love is obviously a little excited." Coach Xu, football is a career and a lifelong pursuit for you, but for me, there are more things in life that I like to do......" Jiang Yelin's answer made Xu Ganbao's heart sink.
