The matter of the confidentiality agreement with Alfonso Jennings was completed the next day, and the secret recipe for brewing was placed in the office where Sampson was, and Alfonso and Zhen Fan each had a key, and only two keys could be used at the same time to open the safe. According to Sampson's plan, the future H.C.D. wine dynasty should build a secret room specifically for this recipe, which should be locked layer by layer, like a bank safe.

This is his ambition, and he sketches out a picture of the future shape of the wine dynasty for Zhen Fan. But a dynasty is definitely not built in a year, and Sampson's grand blueprint is still a little far away.

Zhen Fan doesn't care about these, for winemaking, he doesn't need to do it himself, and the secret recipe is there, and Alfonso, who has rich experience in winemaking, believes that there should be no problem with brewing good quality. Now there is only one thing that matters, and that is Mia's TCM certification exam and the opening of a clinic in Billy Buddha Village.

Zhen Fan sat on the sofa watching TV, Mia's washed grapes were placed in front of him, and from time to time he picked one up and put it in his mouth, which was sweet and slightly sour, which made people feel penetrating.

"What is this?" Mia's surprised voice came to her ears.

When Zhen Fan turned around, he saw Mia, who was originally reading in the study, coming over, holding a yellow sheet of paper in her hand, looking left and right there, and then handed it to Zhen Fan.

"Nothing!" Mia looked at the yellow sheet of paper suspiciously.

Zhen Fan took it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a boxy yellow sheet of paper, and there was not a word on it. I couldn't help but look at Mia and said, "Where did you find it?" ”

"In this book!" Mia raised a book in her hand. It turned out to be a very old copy of "Daozang", "I found it from here, haven't you found it before?" ”

"Yes. Didn't find out! Zhen Fan beckoned to Mia suspiciously, "Show me the book!" ”

Mia handed the book to Zhen Fan, then sat next to him and looked at him very quietly.

Zhen Fan flipped through the book, he had always read this "Daozang", and he had read it many times, but he had never found any yellow table paper sandwiched in it. And it's a blank slate. Maybe I ignored it.

Zhen Fan thought about it and felt that the third uncle would not press the yellow table paper on it for no reason, and it would definitely not work as a bookmark. It's too soft and thin, and it will be torn up if you're not careful, but if you want to write a snack or something, you don't have a word. I thought about it for a moment. Didn't care. Then the yellow table paper was clamped back in it.

"Don't lose it, just hold it well." Zhen Fan said to Mia, "Aren't you looking at medical skills?" It's about to take the exam, why do you look like "Daozang"? ”

"I also flipped through it at random, but I felt that I still had a doubt in my heart, and I wanted to check it out and confirm some things in Chinese medicine, so I didn't want to see this." Mia stuck out her tongue at Zhen Fan. "Okay, I got it. Now I'll put it back! As he spoke, he winked at Zhen Fan, and then went to the study.

July 15 was the exam day, Zhen Fan sent Mia to Los Angeles early, and the location of the exam did not change in the place where he originally took the test, the Merriette Hotel on Rodeo Avenue in Los Angeles. Of course, the process of the exam has not changed. Because Mia was going to spend the day in Los Angeles, he didn't want to be bored all the time. It's just that he doesn't have many friends in Los Angeles, and even Wei Chao has returned to China to enjoy his star life.

This guy, after recovering from injury, is very good on the Lakers, sitting firmly in the first bench position, averaging 8.3 points per game, as well as 2.3 assists and 1.5 rebounds. This number is not bad, so he is also relatively popular in China, of course, it cannot be compared with Yao Ming at the peak of his time. But at least it's a big star.

I want to get in touch with Wren, but Wren is at CBI, and he must be very busy at work, and he doesn't have anything to talk to. So I walked aimlessly, looked around, remembered that I hadn't contacted Christine for a while, took out the phone, thought about it, and still didn't dial out.

After Christine joined the crew, the two got together more and less, and they were only able to get together occasionally in the past few months, and every time the two would desperately ask for each other, as if they had been hungry for a long time, they would get each other's water of life. Then early the next morning, Christine would kiss and say goodbye to Zhen Fan, and then they would be separated for a long time.

As I was walking, I was thinking about it, and I saw a continuous flow of people coming in front of me, and the police cars on the street turned around from time to time, and then some policemen got out of the car, pulled the line, and isolated a street. Someone watched the excitement online, so Zhen Fan asked, "What is this for?" ”

"Marathon! International! It was a girl who spoke, and she turned her head and smiled, "You're Asian?" What a coincidence, but there are a lot of Asians in Los Angeles! ”

There was also a female companion next to the girl, and she also looked up at Zhen Fan and smiled at him. The two girls have distinctly Asian faces, and they are very young, and their English is okay, but they still have a bit of an accent.

"International students?" Zhen Fan said that he had a good impression of the two girls who smiled brightly.

The girl at the beginning nodded and smiled, "Yes, we are international students studying at UCLA." Today is International Marathon Day, and we're here to volunteer. When the game starts, we'll be handing out drinks and water. By the way, you're here for a tour? ”

Obviously, Zhen Fan's accent is not very authentic. He touched his nose and smiled: "No, I live in Temecula, not far from Los Angeles......"

"We know, have been and love the wine! It's beautiful! The girl smiled and said, "You just immigrated, right?" Rich second generation? The second generation of officials? ”

This girl learned the American way of speaking, and one sentence made Zhen Fan cry and laugh, so she quickly shook her head and smiled: "No, I opened a Chinese medicine clinic in Temechula!" Are you Chinese? ”

The girl immediately laughed: "You have amazing eyesight. You can see it at a glance! You wouldn't be too, would you? As he spoke, he said in Chinese: "My name is Yuan Shan, and this is my classmate." Lv Dandan, I am from Shanghai, she is from Changsha! ”

"You've betrayed me again!" The girl next to her was called Lu Dandan. He gently slapped Yuan Shan with his fist and laughed, "I don't know if it's a good person or a bad person, you're talking nonsense, and you're not afraid of being sold!" ”

"I promise, this guy is not Chinese, he looks like Thai. Or Georgians or the like, in short, it doesn't look like Chinese, don't worry. He doesn't understand what we're saying! Yuan Shan smiled and patted Lu Dandan's hand and said with confidence.

"I look like a Georgian? I'm not Caucasian, I don't want to at all, what a look! This sentence was uttered by Zhen Fan in Mandarin. With a teasing tone. Because of that when Yuan Shan spoke. It was obviously also in a mocking tone, so both of them couldn't help but laugh.

"And say, look-" Lu Dandan glanced at Yuan Shan, obviously expressing dissatisfaction.

Yuan Shan giggled and said, "Actually, I have long seen that he is Chinese, I did it on purpose, haha, Dandan, for the sake of him being a handsome guy." Just don't be angry. I can't wait to tell him my name! ”

"How do you know I'm Chinese?" Zhen Fan asked puzzled.

Yuan Shan shook her head and looked at him with a very sad look: "Your English is taught by a Chinese teacher." That's right, this is our unique product of China, no matter how much we change, it will be inadvertently revealed! ”

"Haha, I really didn't expect it!" Zhen Fan nodded and affirmed Yuan Shan's explanation.

"Well, we introduced ourselves, you can also introduce yourself, say, what's your name? It's still a doctor, the income must be good, so invite us to a burger later! When the fellow saw the fellow, his eyes were full of tears! Yuan Shan was very arrogant, because she had just met, and she was joking.

"Zhen Fan!" Zhen Fan also said his name, "It's no problem to eat burgers, there are shops nearby, I'll buy them later!" ”

"Forget it, she's kidding!" Lu Dandan, who had not spoken beside him, tugged at Yuan Shan's shirt and smiled slightly at Zhen Fan, "Mr. Zhen, I'm sorry, we still have something!" With that, he pulled Yuan Shan, who was still talking, and left quickly.

"Goodbye!" Zhen Fan smiled when he looked at them, and suddenly remembered something and said to them, "Don't go to a crowded place, there may be danger!" As for the danger, Zhen Fan didn't think much about it, but he always felt that something bad would happen today.

"It's okay! Brother Zhen, see you next time! Yuan Shan also waved to Zhen Fan, but was pulled away quickly by Lu Dandan, but they didn't go far, but on the edge of the cordon, after all, they are now volunteers, Lu Dandan took out his mobile phone, contacted again, and hurriedly brought water here.

"Why are you dragging me here so quickly!" Yuan Shan looked at Lu Dandan with some dissatisfaction, chatting with the handsome guy, which made people feel happy.

"You're so defenseless. I don't know each other, I don't know the roots, and I talk so energetically, and I want people to invite you to eat a burger, maybe there are psychedelics in the burger! Lu Dandan pursed his lips, striking Yuan Shan's vigorous interest.

"Okay, I won't tell you, you can quickly contact and send things over!" Yuan Shan didn't care, she was just chatting, although she was handsome, but when it passed, it passed, and she didn't take it to heart!

Lu Dandan called again, and Yuan Shan felt that the weather was a little hot, so she took off the volunteer hat on her head and fanned herself. The police continued to pull the line around the perimeter, and soon a long street was cut off with patrolling police everywhere.

"It's going to be two o'clock in the afternoon, and there's still an hour to go get a burger! You wait for me! Yuan Shan saw that the water had not arrived, so she stuffed her hat into Lu Dandan's hand, turned around and walked towards the burger restaurant near the street. As soon as she entered, she saw an acquaintance, no, it should be someone she just met - Zhen Fan!

"I'm in for a treat!" Zhen Fan happened to be at the counter, standing next to her, "Two? ”

"No, I'll do it myself!" Yuan Shan smiled, "You're not bad, but it's useless, forget it, eat your own peace of mind!" With that, he took out the money, bought two hamburgers and two large glasses of Coke and walked out.

The sun is getting a little bigger, and many people who want to watch the game are standing anxiously waiting by the side of the road divider. Then I heard someone shouting: "The game is on, an athlete is coming!" (To be continued......)
