From Ancient Times to the Present Chapter 92: Treat to dinner
Li Qingcang scratched his head and replied, "Drinking?" I'm okay, but it's not too enjoyable to eat French food and drink red wine, and I miss Chinese baijiu! Do you like Chinese food? ”
Razor also said with a face full of intoxication when he heard this: "I also want to eat Chinese food when you say this, Peking duck, mapo tofu, sweet and sour pork ribs, wow!" No, I drool when I think about it, I'm going to eat Chinese food tonight, but where is there an authentic Chinese restaurant? ”
Catherine raised her hand and said, "I know where there are, there are a lot of them in Chinatown." ”
The orc said suspiciously: "Chinese food, there is no taste, right?" It's all sweet and not sweet, salty and not salty. ”
Razor was angry when he heard this, and scolded: "You muscle monster, where did you eat Chinese food, have you ever been to China?" Have you ever eaten authentic Chinese food? Tell you, Chinese food is no worse than French food, what is sweet or not, salty or not, you have been deceived by others, right? ”
The orc said in disbelief: "It's really as delicious as you say, everyone will eat Chinese food that night."
The fuse also echoed: "Chinese food, Chinese food is delicious!" ”
After reaching a consensus, everyone ran to the parking lot to mobilize their Humvees and prepare to eat Chinese food.
Li Qingcang followed the razor and prepared to sit in his car, but just as he wanted to open the car door, the fuse rushed up with the orcs and the hammer, and directly hung him on the ground.
Seeing Li Qingcang standing beside the car with a confused face, the razor squeezed his eyebrows and said to him: "You stupid bird, don't take our car, take the little female leopard, her car is spacious." ”
When Li Qingcang heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking that these guys don't worry about salty radishes, but they have girlfriends.
Just as he was about to go up and pull the fuse down, a coquettish voice sounded in his ears, "Li Qingcang, you take my car." ”
Li Qingcang looked back, only to see Catherine sitting on a Humvee looking at herself with a smile, except for her car was empty, in the face of the beautiful woman's kind invitation, she didn't know how to lift it if she didn't go, so in desperation, Li Qingcang had to walk towards Catherine's car.
There was a fuse behind the fuse, and several people were lewd. smirk. Razor shouted, "Come on, Black Samurai, go conquer this thorny rose, but you have to be careful not to get stabbed by her, this chick is dangerous, haha!" As he spoke, he started the car and fled quickly.
"Fack, you goddamn razor, why didn't you notice so much nonsense about you before," Catherine scolded angrily. Li Qingcang secretly glanced at Catherine under the car, only to see that her pretty face was flushed, and with her rapid breathing, her towering breasts rose and fell, and she looked really choppy. Hurriedly gathered his mind, opened the back door and wanted to sit in.
"Sit down ahead, will I eat you? Black Samurai. Catherine said.
Li Qingcang hurriedly closed the rear door and sat honestly in the co-pilot. A handsome face was also flushed, Catherine stared at him for a while, couldn't help but "poof" a smile, and asked, "I find you seem to be very nervous, am I so scary?" ”
Li Qingcang touched his nose and said, "No, I don't think you're scary, on the contrary, I think you're very beautiful, Miss Catherine!" ”
"Don't call me Miss, I don't like that, you can call me Catherine or Phantom. Li Qingcang, I heard the fuse say that you used to be an archaeologist, right? ”
Li Qingcang thought to himself, "This must be another fuse to help him brag, I haven't said this to him." This guy doesn't even want to brag about drafts. ”
So he said with a little embarrassment: "Don't listen to his nonsense, I just know a little about the writing and history of ancient Xixia, so I went to excavate that ancient tomb with those archaeologists." ”
When Catherine heard this, she asked curiously, "Oh, so that's the case, then how did you get dragged by the razors to be a mercenary?" ”
Li Qingcang then told Catherine about his accidental killing of the People's Liberation Army at the bottom of the well, and the razor's fuse helping him to carry the broken dragon stone and save himself.
Catherine suddenly realized: "No wonder you came out with them, it turned out that you killed someone from the Chinese military by mistake, so it is not very convenient for you to go back in the future." ”
Li Qingcang sighed and said: "It's a little troublesome, let's talk about it later, I have the opportunity to go back to the army to explain this matter clearly, and I will admit it." ”
Catherine looked at him and said, "Don't think like that, how can your fate be arranged by others?" When I was in Liberia, I escorted Chinese expatriates to the Chinese embassy, but I was paid a commission. Now Africa is still full of wars, when you meet the Chinese when you go on a mission, you can help more, as long as those Chinese ambassadors and military attaches can help you say two good words after returning home, it will definitely be beneficial for you to return to China. ”
Li Qingcang suddenly opened his mouth when he heard Catherine's words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Listening to you say this, it's really a way, thank you so much." Why didn't I think so, you're so smart, Catherine! ”
Catherine smiled and said, "I'm just thinking about it as an outsider, and you're an insider, and your thinking is limited." There is a Chinese saying that expresses this meaning, how do you say it? ”
Li Qingcang looked at her thoughtful appearance with a slight frown, and said: "The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused." ”
Catherine said happily; "Yes, that's it, there are too many idioms in Chinese, I can't remember it clearly."
Li Qingcang was instructed by Catherine, and his heart was settled. Along the way, he talked and laughed with Catherine, and after a while, a large line of military Humvees drove to Chinatown in Marseille.
Catherine pulled the car to a halt and said; "That's it."
Li Qingcang got out of the car and took a look, only to see that both sides of the street were full of antique buildings in the Han and Tang dynasties, and the storefront signboards on the side of the road were all written in Chinese characters, and many were actually in traditional Chinese. It looks stronger than the Chinese flavor in China.
Then the captain, razor, fuse and others got down from the Humvee and walked to Li Qingcang's side. Babbling asked where to eat.
Li Qingcang naturally didn't know either, and asked Catherine. Catherine also shrugged her shoulders helplessly and said, "I only know that there are many Chinese restaurants here, but I don't know which one is delicious!" ”
Here's the answer. Li Qingcang asked everyone for advice again, but everyone was staring at each other, and no one gave advice.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Qingcang observed for a moment, pointed to a restaurant that looked the most magnificent, and said, "Since you want me to make up your mind, then go there to eat." Saying that, he led the way first, and a group of murderous men in military uniforms followed behind, making all the pedestrians on the street look sideways and avoid them.
In the shop, the male and female waiters are dressed in Tang costumes and cheongsam, the statue of Emperor Guan Sheng is placed in the hall, the ink landscape is painted on the floor-to-ceiling screen, the wooden doors and windows are carved with hollow ruyi patterns, and the roof of the hall is hung with a lot of red Chinese knots and lanterns painted with character landscapes, presenting an antique Chinese taste.
The waiters in the store, when they saw these dozens of men in military uniforms who were not angry and arrogant coming in, thought they were coming to arrest people, and they all shrank in a corner of the hall in a panic, not daring to approach.
Li Qingcang came to the front desk and just wanted to speak. The good-looking lady said in French with tears in her eyes, "Is there anything you can do?" ”
Li Qingcang couldn't help but be inexplicable when he saw the little girl's panicked face. He opened his mouth and asked, "Little sister, do you speak Chinese?" What else is there to do here besides eating? ”
The little girl at the front desk breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and said in Chinese with her hand on her chest: "I'm scared to death, when I saw your group of soldiers coming in, I thought there were terrorists in my store?" Sorry ha! ”
Li Qingcang couldn't help but look down at himself when he heard this, and then looked back at his comrades-in-arms behind him, a large group of soldiers stood there, most of them were facing the vicious, they looked really fierce, no one should enter, no wonder no waiter dared to approach.
Li Qingcang felt funny in his heart, and said: "I said little sister, you are too bold, right, the soldiers can't come out to eat?"
"Look at it, the people behind me are all foreigners, from all countries, all of them come to eat Chinese food, how about your craftsmanship here, you can do it, if you can't do it, we will leave, don't make some sweet and sour soup to fool us, smash the signboard of our Chinese food!"
The little girl looked overjoyed and just wanted to speak. At this time, a Chinese man with a rich face came from the side, and said to Li Qingcang in Chinese: "This brother, I am the boss here, don't worry, everyone is Chinese, you want to eat hometown food to come to me."
"My store is called Sihai Restaurant, because I have all the tastes of all over the world, "Sichuan, Guangdong, Shandong, Suzhou, Zhejiang, Min, Hui, Hunan" eight major cuisines can be done, the cooking is the domestic masters, rest assured, today's meal will definitely not disappoint your friends, I will personally arrange it for you. ”
Li Qingcang said: "Then thank you, arrange a bigger room for me, and I, dozens of people, will bring up all the specialty dishes in your store." ”
The fat boss happily agreed, and then the waiter came up and led them to a huge living room, which contained two large round tables with glass turntables on them, so that everyone could pick up the food without getting up.
Everyone consciously divided into two tables, and Li Qingcang had a mission to sit together, Li Qingcang asked the captain to take a seat, foreigners are not interested in this, the captain casually pulled out a chair to sit down, but Li Qingcang insisted that since he came to a Chinese restaurant to eat, of course, according to Chinese rules, the respected elders must sit on the upper seat.
The captain smiled and sat on the main seat facing the door according to Li Qingcang's request, and the blonde beauty Catherine also stepped in with a smile and insisted on sitting with everyone.
Camels, hammers and others took a strong interest in the chopsticks at the table at the other table, and each one of them was in the shape of a tiger's claw or a fist, holding the chopsticks there with great emotion.
They all opened their mouths to ask Li Qingcang, how can these two toothpick-like things be used for eating, Li Qingcang smiled and took chopsticks to make a demonstration, everyone shook their heads like rattles, and bluntly said that the action was too complicated to accept.
made Li Qingcang's stomach ache with a smile, and a group of characters who knew everything about astronomy and geography, and who could do everything about aircraft and artillery, were stumped by small chopsticks.
