Chapter 208: I'm Eating and You Watching
Eat a fart! How do you eat this? Mutsu Munemitsu couldn't help but curse loudly in his heart. raised his eyes and looked at the few dishes in front of Ren Chao and the other three people, such as steamed crabs, braised fish or something, which made people have an appetite when they looked at it. Mutsu Zong Guangqiang held back the anger in his heart, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Master Hou, when I was in Japan, I heard that the Chinese food culture was broad and profound, and I am fortunate to be able to come to the Qing Dynasty today, and my greatest wish is to be able to taste the Chinese food." ”
"Oh! That's it! I didn't think it through! Ren Chao nodded slightly and said, "I thought you were used to eating sashimi and didn't like to eat anything else!" Since Mr. Mutsu wants to taste my Chinese food, this is easy to do, come and inform the kitchen to let them make a few special dishes for our Japanese guests. ”
"Yes!" A guard waiting next to him heard Ren Chao's order, turned around and walked out.
After Ren Chao finished his order, he turned to Mutsu Aoku Zongguang and said with a smile, "I have already ordered to go down, and the kitchen will prepare a beautiful meal for you immediately." ”
"Thank you, Master Hou!" Mitsu Ao Zongguang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately, this Ren Chao didn't make it difficult.
Ren Chao looked at the sashimi in front of Mutsu Somitsu and the others, a trace of regret appeared on his face, he shook his head lightly and said, "Since Mr. Mutsu wants to taste the food of my Qing Dynasty, then these sashimi should be withdrawn!" But it's a waste to throw it away like this, so let's feed it all to the dogs! ”
"Dashuai, this dog doesn't eat sashimi either." The guard next to him couldn't help but remind.
"Dogs don't eat, so how do Japanese people eat? Forget it, let's feed the cats! Ren Chao waved his hand and said.
As soon as Ren Chao's words came out, Kuroki and Ishida couldn't hold back anymore, and they were about to turn their faces right away. But at this moment, Mutsu Munemitsu stretched out his hands and put them on the laps of his two subordinates. Mutsu Munemitsu was also angry in his heart. But reason told him that this is not the time to turn his face with Ren Chao. Mutsu Zongguang also understood that this Ren Chao didn't plan to negotiate with them at all, and Ren Chao repeatedly humiliated them. It is to provoke them to give up the negotiations, so that he can put all the blame for the breakdown of the negotiations on them. Mutsu Somitsu didn't want to fall for Ren Chao, so he could only endure it at this time, and at this time, Mutsu Somitsu took out the determination to cultivate into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, and forcibly held back the anger in his heart.
"We still have to negotiate in the afternoon, and it is inevitable to make mistakes when drinking, so I won't drink today!" Ren Chao said with a smile.
"What Master Hou said is that after we successfully negotiate, it's not too late to have a good drink." Mutsu Aozong said with a bare smile on his face.
Ren Chao nodded slightly. I secretly scolded this old devil in my heart, I can really bear it! It's better this way, Lao Tzu can play with you slowly. Ren Chao didn't plan to make the Japanese angry and run away, after all, if the Japanese really got out, it would be difficult for him to explain to the imperial court.
"The kitchen should be ready for you in no time, so wait a minute. If the official is hungry, he won't wait for you first, we will eat first. Ren Chao said with a smile.
"Master Hou, please feel free." Mutsu Munemitsu nodded slightly and said.
Ren Chao looked left and right at his two confidants, and said with a smile, "Let's eat!" After that, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat. Zhao Bin and Wang Jing saw that Ren Chao had spoken, and they all feasted as if no one was around.
"Yes! This crab is good. The taste is simply wonderful! ”
"Crab is delicious with this lobster!"
"This fish is also good, and this skill should be close to catching up with the chefs of those imperial dining rooms!"
The three of them were talking as they ate. The three Japanese sitting opposite looked at the empty tabletop, looking at the three Ren Chao who were gobbling up there, and their teeth itched with hatred. But it's time to endure. The three of them silently prayed in their hearts to hurry up and serve the food! Let's get served!
But the three little devils waited for half an hour before the guy from the restaurant brought the food. Mutsu Munemitsu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as he watched the exquisite dishes being served. Fortunately, this Ren Chao didn't do anything more this time, so he can always eat now!
The guys put plates of dishes in front of the Japanese, and there were crabs. There are lobsters, shark fins, abalone, and many more. Originally, the three little devils were already hungry, and seeing Ren Chao and the three of them eating there also aroused the appetite of the three little devils, due to the psychological effect, the three little devils felt even more hungry.
“いただきます!” The three little devils looked at the exquisite dishes in front of them, and said this sentence very respectfully. This phrase has a twofold meaning, the first of which is to express gratitude to the people who participated in the preparation of zuò food. The second meaning means to take life from food to sustain one's own life. Academics, on the other hand, are more inclined to the second meaning. In other words, this is actually an abbreviation, and the complete sentence is, 私の命のために动植物动植物の命を顶きます(いただきます). It means that for the continuation of my life, I take the lives of animals and plants from them. (Implicitly thankful for these creatures who died for me.) Here you can refer to the movie "Avatar").
Ren Chao couldn't help but shake his head, these little devils are really troublesome.
After the three little devils said this, they said to Ren Chao very politely, "Thank you Lord Hou for your hospitality." ”
Ren Chao smiled and nodded, signaling the three little devils to be casual. So the three little devils picked up their chopsticks at the same time and were about to eat! Here, Ren Chao suddenly put down his chopsticks.
Ren Chao took the napkin handed over by the guard, wiped his mouth and said, "Okay!" Now that we're full, let's go to the next room to negotiate! ”
The chopsticks that the three people had just stretched out stopped in mid-air together, and Mutsu Somitsu thought he had heard it wrong, so he couldn't help but ask, "What does Master Hou mean to negotiate now?" ”
"Of course, didn't you say that it would be better to negotiate as soon as possible? Now that we've had our fill, it's time to get down to business. Ren Chao said with a smile.
Mutsu Zongguang really wanted to yell at Ren Chao, Lao Tzu hadn't eaten yet! But this sentence naturally cannot be spoken.
"What? Mr. Mutsu has changed his mind? I don't want to talk about it now, so let's talk about it another day! Ren Chao saw that Mutsu Ao's face was wrong, and said very understandingly.
"No, no, talk now, talk right away!" Mutsu Somitsu hurriedly said when he heard this. Another day, I don't know when it will be, but Mutsu Munemitsu cherishes this hard-won opportunity for negotiation. (To be continued......)
