Chen Xiu looked at Umezu Mijiro's expression and knew what Umezu Mijiro was thinking. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢.com
"Your Excellency, Commander, you've been working all day, and you're hungry, or, if you say a few words, we'll get started?"
"Okay." Umezu Mijiro smiled and agreed.
Afterwards, Chen Xiu clapped his hands, and the most humble microphone in this era was moved by Han Song.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Chen Xiu stood in front of the microphone and said in Japanese, "Welcome to the Customs Street!" Here, I would like to introduce you to a guest! ”
"One, very distinguished guest." Chen Xiu emphasized with a smile, "Let's welcome, our Commander of the First Army of the Imperial Japanese Army, General Umezu Mijiro!" Welcome! As he spoke, Chen Xiu clapped his hands and led everyone to applaud!
Umezu Mijiro walked to Chen Xiu's side with a smile, and the custom street was already surrounded by the gendarmerie, so he really had nothing to worry about.
"Thank you for your kindness." Umezu Mijiro smiled, "Today is a special day, which lasted for more than a month, and our Taiyuan's Great Japanese Customs and Culture Street, that is, Huangmin Street, finally cut the ribbon and opened!" ”
"The construction of the Cultural Street is to allow the people of China and Japan to get close to each other and develop together! Eliminate the misunderstanding between the imperial army and the Chinese people! Strive to build Greater Asia together! ”
Chen Xiu raised his eyebrows, disappreciating in his heart, but his face was very happy, and then he took the lead in applauding.
As a result, everyone also began to applaud.
The applause resounded throughout the custom street, and now there are mostly Japanese and Chinese in the custom street, but there are very few.
Umezu Mijiro nodded in satisfaction, pressed down with his white-gloved hands, and the applause disappeared, and then said, "So, gentlemen, let's start our celebration!" Enjoy! ”
Chen Xiu nodded to Han Song, and then Han Song adjusted the phonograph stylus to the tabletop where the disc had been placed, and a burst of music began to play. The music is Western-style music, there are no lyrics, only a faint melody that makes people feel very warm when they listen to it.
"Your Excellency, Commander, Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, you can take the plate here." Chen Xiu led the Japanese officers to the beginning of the table, "Now the whole street is full of tables, and all the delicacies on the table can be taken at will!" ”
"Baiwujun, you're imitating a Western-style banquet, right?" Umezu Mijiro smiled.
"Hey, this kind of banquet will make people feel more relaxed and comfortable." Chen Xiu smiled and nodded, and helped Umezu Mijiro get a plate and a small clip, "Your Excellency Commander, give it." ”
"Thank you, Baiwu-kun." Umezu Mijiro smiled, took it, and then chose it himself, "Tempura!" Sushi Sushi! Hahaha! ”
Then, he said to the generals behind him, "You can also choose for yourself." ”
"Hey!"
Chen Xiu shouted at this time, "Xincun!" ”
"Hi, young master!" Han Song walked over, his body bent slightly.
"Bring me the wine I prepared for you a long time ago." Chen Xiu spoke.
"Hey!"
So, Han Song turned around and left.
"Baiwujun actually prepared wine?" Umezu Mijiro said with interest, "I don't know what kind of sake it is?" ”
"There are three kinds of preparations." Chen Xiu smiled, "The first one, Chinese liquor, is said to be one of the famous liquors, Moutai. The second, naturally, is the sake of our Great Japanese Empire; The third type is the wine that Europeans and Americans prefer. I think His Excellency the Commander certainly has something to like, but His Excellency the Chief of Staff and His Excellency the Other Generals and Commanders may have different tastes. ”
"Haha, I didn't expect Baiwujun to be so careful." Umezu Mijiro nodded, "In fact, I do prefer to drink Chinese baijiu, and this Moutai liquor is said to be clear and transparent, with outstanding sauce aroma, mellow aroma, elegant and delicate, soft in the mouth, clear and sweet, mellow and plump, long aftertaste, and long-lasting fragrance in the empty cup, which is very memorable." I've been here for so long, and I haven't tried it yet. ”
"Haha, Your Excellency Commander will want to drink more in that moment." Chen Xiu smiled.
"That's for sure." Umezu Mijiro put some more takoyaki on the plate, "Hyakumaki-kun, I think I may come to your restaurant to eat in the future!" Looking at these imperial delicacies reminds me of my boyhood! ”
"Welcome!"
Umezu Mijiro walked about a third of the way, and the plate was full, looking at the fact that there were still so many tables and the food on the table, "Hyakwu-kun, it's really hard for you and the expatriates!" ”
"Hey, Your Excellency Commander is polite!" Chen Xiu smiled, "The table in the back is the cuisine of other countries, such as China's Peking duck, which is said to have been China's court food at the same time!" And American steaks! However, time is urgent, and there is no way to eat authentic American steak, which is a pity. And the UK's most famous fish and chips! ”
Chen Xiu gave a general introduction.
"It's so rich!" Seeing that his plate was full, Umezu Mijiro also found a seat next to him and sat down, while the gendarmerie directly emptied the area, and Umezu Mijiro did not blame him.
To tell the truth, Umezu Mijiro attended this banquet, which was expected by Chen Xiu, even if Umezu Mijiro did not come, the Japanese military high-level would still come, and the gendarmerie would also focus on protecting this side. Either way, his purpose was achieved.
And in order to make this group of people feel that the trip was worthwhile, he united with other merchants in the custom street and spent a lot of money to hold such a buffet-style banquet, which was indeed dazzling with delicacies from all over the world
At the same time, Chen Xiu also invited a Japanese singer to sing some Japanese songs, but not now, after all, the meal has not been eaten yet, and the program can't be on so early after the meal.
"It's so delicious!" Umezu Mijiro narrowed his glasses and enjoyed his meal. It's hot now, and the food doesn't get cold so quickly, and, in order to keep the food hot and fresh, Umezu Mijiro has just brought it back from the back kitchen to change it when he was talking.
"Your Excellency the Commander said so!" Next to him, the chief of staff spoke, this chief of staff is called Nozomi Aso, a civilian, and there was a little more smile in his eyes when he looked at Chen Xiu at this moment.
Food will be intoxicating, intoxicating, and pleasant.
After a while, Han Song came over with three men.
Three guys, each holding a tray.
On the tray, it is naturally the wine that Chen Xiu said was good.
"Your Excellency, when the wine arrives, which one would you like to try first?" Chen Xiu looked at Umezu Mijiro with a smile.
"Let's go to Moutai! I also want to try this famous wine! ”
"Hey!" Han Song responded, took a few small glasses, slowly opened the lid of the wine, and a strong aroma of wine came to his nose, if it wasn't for his current identity, even he wanted to drink some.
