Chapter 552: Onlookers
The food street in Dongzhimen, also known as Gui Street, is the most prestigious food street in the capital, because many foreign embassies are here, so many of the people who come here to taste the food are foreigners, not only blonde hair and blue eyes, but also those Koreans and Japanese who speak bird language often haunt here.
On the more than one-kilometer street, restaurants account for the vast majority, and there are about 156 restaurants. As long as you walk all the way down this street, you will ask about the fragrance that keeps wafting out.
"Spicy crayfish, grilled fish, a few more ingredients." Zhen Fan picked one, sat down, the table was cleaned up quite clean, there were many people in the store, next to them was a middle-aged couple, but not Chinese, listening to them, it seemed to be Korean, they were facing Zhen Fan are two children, about sixteen or seventeen years old, white and clean, and there are some freckles on the girls' faces.
"Okay, right away!" The waiters all ran and quickly passed the list out.
"It's so hilarious!" Emma smiled at Zhen Fan and said, "I like it here, I feel like the atmosphere is pretty good." ”
"It's the way of life of people of different ethnicities in different countries, and you can't change it, just like eating in the United States, you can't do that. But...... I still like the atmosphere, it's very lively, not too deserted! Zhen Fan smiled and looked at Emma, "But ...... Are you really comfortable with such an occasion? ”
"Of course...... I like, you know, usually I'm alone in the U.S., so ...... It always feels a little lonely, right. That's it, if someone is willing to accompany me in such a lively place, I will definitely die of happiness! Emma said. Removed the sunglasses he was wearing.
She didn't think she needed to wear this in China, but she couldn't resist Zhen Fan's repeated requests, so she had to wear it. So when she took it off, the little boy sitting across from her was suddenly stunned, his eyes widened in disbelief, and then he lowered his head and muttered something to the equally surprised girl.
At this time, the dish Zhen Fan ordered arrived, and he asked for a few bottles of beer. The two of them are going to start enjoying the food happily. Zhen Fan hasn't been here for a long time, and he naturally has a deep nostalgia for the food here, and it is indeed delicious. Emma, on the other hand, felt fresh.
"It tastes so good!" Emma ate a crayfish, her mouth was spicy and a little red, and there were fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, but she still couldn't help but scream deliciously. Truly. That spicy flavor when it explodes on the tip of the tongue. It's hard to stop, and it's hard to say no again.
"You'll also have something even better, grilled fish, grilled fish from Chongqing. You'll know that grilled fish can still be eaten like this! Zhen said, carefully tearing off a piece of grilled fish for Emma with chopsticks and placing it on her plate.
Emma was a little impatient to use the chopsticks to clip it, but she still couldn't use the chopsticks so far, and she tried several times but didn't use them well. Zhen Fan couldn't help but shake his head, and saw Emma winking at Zhen Fan: "You help me clip!" ”
"What?" Zhen Fan glared at him.
"You can clip it for me. I can't clip it well, to be honest, these two bamboo chopsticks seem to have an opinion on me, they never obey my command, so ...... You're here to help me! Emma looked at Zhen Fan with a smile, and there was a taste of coquettishness.
"Okay, okay, you're a big star!" Zhen Fan said, picked up the fish piece, Emma's mouth opened, leaned in, and bit the fish piece that Zhen Fan stretched out into her mouth, tasted it in her mouth for a while, and licked her tongue proudly and smiled: "I'm not a star here, this is China, you see, no one even recognizes a famous person like you, how can they know me?" ”
As soon as Emma's words fell, she saw the middle-aged man sitting next to her get up and look at them, then walked over and said a little cautiously, "I'm sorry to disturb you." He bowed to Emma and Zhen Fan, looking very humble and respectful.
He spoke English, and his accent was quite standard, Zhen Fan looked at him and said quietly, "Is there anything I can help you with?" Sir, you're not Chinese, you're Korean, right? ”
"Yes, sir, I'm Korean and have been working in China for more than a year, I'm sorry to bother you, excuse me...... Are you Mr. Zhen Fan? Is this beautiful lady Emma? Miss Waters? The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "My name is Park Yongjun, and I work at the South Korean Embassy in China!" Here's my business card! As he spoke, he took out a business card from his jacket pocket, half-hunched over and handed it to Zhen Fan and Emma.
The two took it suspiciously, Zhen Fan looked at it, it was indeed a staff member working in the embassy, so he nodded and smiled: "You know me?" Is there anything I need to help you with? ”
"Yes, Mr. Zhen, I know something about you, especially your DC wine, I was fortunate to taste it, it tastes very good, so I have done some knowledge about you, and I have seen it from the Internet. But...... My daughter...... That's her! Park Yongjun turned sideways and said to the excited girl sitting there, "She likes your magic very much and admires you!" ”
"It's over!" Zhen Fan nodded and said this politely.
"You must be Emma? Miss Waters, my son and my family love watching your movies, and I think Harry Potter is one of the best movie series in the world. Park Yong-joon had a smile on his face, and he looked excited, and it seemed that he valued Emma's reputation more.
"Excuse me...... What are you ......" Zhen Fan decided to stop this guy from talking like a flatterer here, and asked directly, "This is really not a good place to talk!" What's the matter? ”
"Yes, we want to take a picture with you, just one, today is my son's birthday, I want to ...... Please, both of you! As he spoke, he stood up and bowed respectfully to the two of them.
"Well, I'm fine!" Emma couldn't see that anyone was so attentive, so she agreed.
At this time, Park Yongjun turned his head to the boy and the girl and said a few words, and the two children seemed very happy and immediately ran over, while the middle-aged woman also smiled and kept a very reserved appearance. The girl stood next to Zhen Fan tightly, and the boy stood next to Zhen Fan with a nervous face.
In stiff Chinese, Park Yongjun invited a young man passing by him and asked him to help him take a photo. The man took the phone, and then took a photo of Zhen Fan and Park Yongjun, and when he was about to return the phone, he suddenly looked at Zhen Fan as if he remembered something.
"Are you...... Zhen Fan? When he said this, he was thinking, why is this person so familiar, and this Korean seems to have a strong request to take a photo with Zhen Fan, so he guessed in his heart that when the photo is taken, he doesn't want to miss this opportunity, in case it is Zhen Fan, he is lucky with shit.
"It seems that yes until now, if you change your name one day, you won't be called Zhen Fan!" Zhen Fan smiled bitterly, it seems that it is not easy to eat a meal quietly here, I didn't expect that it has been almost a year, and there are still people who remember their appearance, and they still have such high popularity.
"That's great, can you ...... Have a picture with you? The man hurriedly took out his mobile phone and handed it to Park Yongjun, "Do me a favor, help me take a picture with our national treasure-level master!" That's an exaggeration, but that's what this guy thinks in his heart.
"I'm sorry for the trouble!" Park Yongjun couldn't take it again, so he had to bow to Zhen Fan and apologize to Zhen Fan and Emma in English, "It's all because of me that you didn't enjoy this dinner quietly!" ”
"If you still say it, there will be more people waiting!" Zhen Fan couldn't help but say to him with amusement, this Korean man is grinding and chirping, which really makes people a little speechless.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it right away!" Park Yongjun said and immediately took a picture of the man standing between Zhen Fan and Emma with his camera, then returned the phone, bowed again to apologize, and then left with some reluctance. When the two children went out, they kept looking at Zhen Fan and Emma.
"Great, can I brag in front of my friends?" After the man finished taking the photo, he actually asked Zhen Fan such a question.
"It's okay, just go, it's your right!" Zhen Fan hurriedly nodded and said to him.
The man walked towards the door with joy, and then looked back at Emma, and suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "You are Emma?" Waters? ”
Emma smiled and nodded, admitting the account. The man immediately burst into laughter, clenched his fists excitedly, waved them a few times in the air, and shouted: "Earned, I actually took a photo with Master Zhen and Emma at the same time!" He ran out without looking back, and he even forgot that he had come to eat, and now he ran away without eating!
This guy ran away, but Zhen Fan couldn't run away, his loud voice was an advertisement for Zhen Fan and Emma, and suddenly people kept surrounding, everyone was a little unbelieving at first, but after taking a closer look, they began to take out their mobile phones one after another, and students with notebooks also took out notebooks and pens.
Autographs, group photos, the crowd is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, and there are even people asking questions like reporters. Someone even shouted outside the crowd: "Master, won't you be on the Spring Festival Gala this year?" If not, this year's Spring Festival Gala will be really boring, and the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve is waiting for you, master! ”
Immediately the crowd burst into laughter. Zhen Fan hurriedly said: "Okay, since the people have asked, even if I violate Director Feng's confidentiality terms, I will give you a thorough explanation, I came back to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and ...... This one next to me, Emma? Miss Waters will too! ”
Immediately, there was warm applause in the crowd, and the sound of people laughing, it was really lively, Zhen Fan wanted to go out, it was really a little difficult. (To be continued......)
