Chapter 708: Don't be a foreign slave
Chapter 708
Sitting down here, of course, is for Western food. In fact, when Western food arrives in China, it has undergone a lot of improvements, otherwise it will not be suitable for the taste of the Chinese people, just like those Sichuan dishes in the Jiangnan area, they must also be changed to make the people of Sichuan and Hunan frown and shake their heads, so as to be promoted, otherwise they will wait to close, and the Jiangnan area can not tolerate the kind of heavy oil and spicy Sichuan cuisine.
casually ordered a steak set, Lehi leaned back, looking at Elizabeth ordering, as for the eyes of the people around him, he could only ignore it, fortunately, there is a benefit in the western restaurant, most of the people who come here to eat will subconsciously want to be reserved, so although there are still people constantly looking at this pair of eye-catching men and women, at least no one is around to ask for autographs and group photos.
Elizabeth also ordered the food, and asked for the wine to accompany the meal, and the waiter quickly brought it over, skillfully opened the bottle and decanted the wine, and poured a little for each of them. Don't look at other people's dog-like temperament, in fact, the inside of the knowledge will only be studied after getting rich, such as red wine, cigars, fashion clothing, Li Hai is ignorant, even if he knows whether the Tao is good or bad, it is judged according to the price, it's as simple as that, to put it bluntly, it is to get into the eyes of money.
So Li Hai didn't know anything about this slightly sour red wine, but the price of this bottle of wine made him secretly staggered, eight thousand! Nodding pretendedly, the waiter filled the bottom of the cup, and then stood next to him with his hands behind his back, this is the unique treatment of the big boss, and there must be someone next to him who will always serve and eat.
Elizabeth laughed: "Mr. Li, it seems that you don't eat much Western food?" It seems that you have your own unique views on the placement of Western knives and forks? β
As soon as Li Hai heard it, he knew that he was out of the country again, because he didn't think it was convenient, he moved the knife and fork on the table casually, and he also felt that there was no need to have so much, three knives and three forks, can you do it, isn't it just to eat a piece of beef? Hearing Elizabeth's teasing tone, Lehi rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to beckon the waiter, and said nonchalantly, "Help me bring a pair of chopsticks." β
The waiter was directly dumbfounded, this is still an authentic foreigner, what else can he do when he hears this kind of request but be dumbfounded? It's just that this is still a big boss, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he knows that he has the big boss's job in his hand, what else is there to say? Nodding respectfully, he said a few words to the headphones, and after a while, another waiter held a tray with a pair of shiny cloisonnΓ© chopsticks on it, and put it in a pile of authentic Western tableware.
People at a few tables nearby were also whispering, what did this handsome guy want to do, eat Western food with chopsticks? Don't be a bun! But it doesn't look like it.
Li Hai was calm, picked up the chopsticks, clamped a corner of the steak, and then picked up the knife with his left hand, cut a small piece with a knife, dipped it in pepper juice and put it in his mouth, and nodded: "Yes, the heat is just right, the gravy is locked inside, but there is no fishy smell, it is indeed a good craft." He gave a thumbs up to the waiter next to him, pulled out a stack of large red bills, and threw them on the tray: "Here's a tip for the chef to tell him I'm satisfied with his work." β
The waiter was also very good, and the muscles on his face did not twitch, and he bent down respectfully, and said in a standard suburban London accent: "Thank you, Your Excellency, please enjoy it slowly." β
Everyone, including Elizabeth, is twisted! I've seen all kinds of foreign appearances of Tubaozi eating Western food, but I've never seen anything like this, Lehi eats steak with chopsticks, it's a matter of course, as if steak should be eaten like this, they eat Western food with knives and forks, and they look like turtles!
Things in this world don't matter if they are right or wrong, it's just a matter of psychological identity, and a strong psychological identity can reverse the psychological inertia of the weaker side. The aura of the three divine powers on Lehi's body is fully opened, and the divine power of his body is so shaking that the eyes of mortals are going to be spent, coupled with his divine kung fu, every movement is precise and coordinated, it can be said that it is a natural sculpture, using this posture to eat steak, not to mention that he is using chopsticks, even if he grabs it directly, people will think that he is pouring juice on his chest.
Elizabeth exhaled for a long time and applauded softly: "Mr. Li, you really gave me another surprise, in you, I seem to see the image and charm of the Chinese gentlemen who guided the forefront of civilization in the world hundreds of years ago, this is really an amazing thing, you are the most confident and elegant Chinese gentleman I have ever seen in my life." β
Lehi smiled, Elizabeth is also worthy of being the descendant of an ancient aristocratic family in the West, and her understanding of etiquette and culture is not as superficial as ordinary people. Indeed, etiquette itself is one of the connotations of civilization, and when civilization is in a strong state and expands to all sides, the etiquette pursued by this civilization naturally becomes the object of people's recognition. For example, hundreds of years ago, when the Ming Dynasty came, the steak came to the Ming Kingdom, and the local scholars picked up chopsticks to eat, and those Westerners must have nothing to say, and they have to admit that this is the demeanor that the ancient Oriental country should have, and the steak should be eaten like this, which is the most elegant! Nowadays, everyone has to pay attention to the etiquette of eating Western food, which is nothing more than because our civilization is in a weak position, so we have to accept other people's etiquette standards, and that's it.
Looking at the chopsticks in his hand, Li Haixin said, we learn knives and forks, and we will learn them as soon as we learn them, and Westerners need to learn chopsticks for at least ten days and half a month, what does this mean? This shows that our civilization is more tolerant and more vigorous! So what reason do we have to be self-indulgent? Where it's not as good as others, just go and learn.
Elizabeth's thoughts really diverged in this direction: "From Mr. Li, I see the hope of our cooperation succeeding, so Mr. Li, please believe that if there are people in this world who don't want to see you defeated and lose influence, I must be one of them." β
As if nothing had happened, Lehi continued to challenge the steak with his chopsticks, but the alarm had already sounded in his heart, and if Elizabeth was also involved in the conspiracy against him, the situation would take a turn for the worse. We can't forget who is the real master in the Pacific Ocean, that is, the Pacific Fleet of the Mi Army! And Elizabeth is undoubtedly one of those who can use this resource.
"Miss Taylor, what do you want to say?"
Elizabeth took an elegant sip of red wine and praised it before saying, "Our next anchorage should be Saipan, right?" It's not far from the Guam base, Mr. Lee, and if you need it, I can do my best to get the Pacific Fleet to provide you with assistance, and rest assured, there is no need to reciprocate. β
"It can't be!" Li Hai didn't even want to think about it, he refused, fighting in the nest is one thing, and the nature of introducing foreign aid has changed! Even if he will eventually lose and lose everything he has now, as long as he is not so defeated that he can't turn over, Lehi still has the confidence that he can make a comeback, and the supernatural power on his body is his greatest confidence guarantee. Ask Midi for help, what's going on? Lehi must not allow himself to be reduced to a comprador first-class! In that case, if nothing else, the dead grandfather will be so angry that he will jump out of the grave, he followed him to learn so many ancient sages and the principles of being a man, but in the end he became a foreign slave?
He wasn't even interested in explaining anything to Elizabeth, and said straightforwardly, "Miss Taylor, if that's what you want to say, then that's all for you to say, let's change the subject." β
Taylor sighed with a little regret: "Well, I was abrupt, I didn't say it." Mr. Lee, then I will continue to watch from the side, and if you need help, remember that I am your friend. Also, I think it's best for us to start negotiating specific agreements on cooperation as soon as possible, and we can implement one when we negotiate one, because I have a lot of research projects on hand that require your cooperation. Believe me, this will also help you to have the strength to face some of the greedy technical officials in your country as soon as possible. β
Shameless old man Rong! Lehi was in a bad mood, and what he hated the most was this situation, fighting in his own nest for outsiders to see the jokes! But what can be done, the tradition of the Chinese people can be said to be deep-rooted, and since they went abroad, they have been labeled as such, and they can't be torn off until now.
After eating the most delicious meal, there was no taste, and Li Hai watched Elizabeth go back to the room, his eyes were gloomy, it seemed that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings! Even Taylor smelled something, but I don't know how much she was involved in? Fortunately, there is finally a gain, at least through Taylor, it can be guaranteed that there is no interference on the satellite side, and there is no sign of human adjustment, and the GPS positioning information from the Pacific Fleet AWACS aircraft, which is always reliable.
Telling Wang Feng the news, Wang Feng was also in good spirits: "In this way, our speculation is correct, the other party should have a way to interfere with the positioning equipment on our ship and make us misjudge." β
Li Hai nodded and asked Wang Feng, "What new discoveries have you made here?" β
"Yes, the other party may also be alert, and the action has been very cautious, but through search and tracking, we have been able to determine that there are three people who are the most suspicious and may have the authority to operate the jamming equipment, as for the jamming equipment, it should be installed in our hull, then the key is to start the device, which is the most difficult to determine, any electronic equipment, including mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, etc., are possible, we can't disassemble and check them one by one, and the time is not allowed."
"No need!" After having lunch with Elizabeth and refusing the other party's foreign aid, Lehi's will became even stronger: "Make a good show and give those guys a disadvantage!" Let them know the way, I Li Hai is not easy to mess with. As for the Zhijiang side, I think I can teach the enemy a real lesson. β
He handed over all the things on the cruise ship to Tang Ying and Wang Feng to organize, but he went down to the third deck where the casino was located, walked into the temple, took out the god money, hung it on the highest floor of the cash tree, and said to the god money: "Where is the believer Shi Paul, where is the believer Shi Paul?" It's time for the gods to use you! "End of Chapter 708
