Chapter 201: Han Niang and Tuo Niu
"Okay, no kidding, Zhilu said that you are coming today, so I changed my clothes in advance. Don't look at the menu, I'll arrange your dishes tonight. Gordon Ramsay said.
Li Zihan thought to himself, this time he was going to be ripped off again, he said the same thing at the last meal, but the dishes of the two people ate thousands of pounds of Li Zihan, not counting the bottle of French red wine.
It is worth mentioning that Gordon Ramsay is a typical master of French and Italian cuisine, as for British cuisine in Europe and even the whole world, British cuisine in the cuisine is the same as Chinese football in the football world
Gordon Ramsay turned to walk towards the kitchen, when he heard a voice say, "Hey, look, who's this?" Gordon! Gordon Ramsay! I've caught you today, and you must cook my food yourself tonight. β
Gordon didn't have to look at the faces of the people who came in front of him, just by listening to the voice, he knew who was coming, after all, the two couldn't be more familiar.
"Oh, my good friend, Fernando, why are you here. I knew you were coming, I wouldn't come, and the chandelier worth a few hundred pounds that you broke last time you showed off your skills in my restaurant hasn't been with you. β
"Nonsense, that's obviously Juan who broke it, you should go to him."
The two were obviously quite familiar with each other, making some innocuous jokes with each other.
Li Zihan immediately got up from his chair, he is familiar with Gordon Ramsay, and he is a footballer named Fernando, and there is only one in London - Fernando Torres!
"Hello Fernando." Li Zihan took the initiative to shake hands with the other party.
"Hello, Lee. It seems that I have to thank you, you feel that you are more accurate than me, even I don't know when I will score, but you know Lu Dao. You can predict a few more times next time so I can score more goals. Torres said.
"Come on, I'm guessing. Besides, you've scored a lot of goals, and it's going to be difficult for us to win the title. Li Zihan said jokingly.
"Oh, dear Auraya, you're so pretty." Li Zihan greeted Torres' wife, Oraya Dominguez.
"yes, what about your Subabi?" Auraya winked mischievously at him, looking like a middle-aged woman who was about to stand up, she was simply a seventeen or eighteen-year-old sunny girl.
"Of course our Susan is pretty."
"Uncle Li, am I pretty or Aunt Susan is pretty?" Torres asked innocently as the little girl holding her hand.
Li Zihan smiled happily, then hugged the other party and kissed him on his cute face and said, "Your Aunt Susan is beautiful, and my little Nora baby is cute!" β
Li Zihan's words are not compliments, Torres's eldest daughter Nora is indeed very beautiful, and the little girl has obviously inherited the excellent genes of Torres and Olaya. The innocent and lovely Nora really looks like an angel, which makes people feel pity.
Nora pursed her lips, and it was clear that the little one was a little upset that she didn't hear the answer she liked to hear, but she didn't know that she was even cuter this way.
It's just that Li Zihan didn't know that behind him, there was also a little guy who pouted unhappily.
Yiyi on the side muttered in a low voice: "Han Niang met Tuo Niu when she met her, she was really full of affection!" β
The men exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Gordon ran to the kitchen to prepare for the two groups of his friends and guests. Torres repeatedly invited Li Zihan to his house tomorrow night for dinner together. Li Zihan didn't shirk shyly at this time, and happily agreed, and then the Torres family went to the position they had booked before.
Soon the appetizers came up, and the appetizers on Gordon Ramsay's side were different from other restaurants, the appetizers here were all French cuisine, accompanied by a bottle of mellow '93 Lafite.
If it was the Torres family, Gordon would have guessed that it would be Latour. But considering that Li Zihan hardly drinks much, and then there are most of the ladies here, Gordon has a bottle of Lafite in '93.
Although everyone knows that the '82-year-old Lafite is the most valuable, it is often shown on TV that it is a bottle of '82-year-old Lafite. But how many 82-year-old wines are there at ChΓ’teau Lafite? How can we supply such a large global market? Therefore, the real number of '82 Lafite is relatively small, and it is generally used for more formal banquets, and it is a bit restrained to use '82 Lafite for family gatherings like this. In Lafite's 92nd year, Bordeaux had a dry weather and little rain. The grapes were severely dehydrated, so the wine of this vintage was not very good, not as good as the wine of the following year's ninety-three years.
Therefore, in a restaurant like Gordon Ramsay, what kind of food, what mood, and what kind of wine to go with on what day are also more elegant, especially when Gordon Ramsay cooks himself.
The first time she ate a foreigner's dish, even Wang Xue, a traditional Chinese woman, couldn't help but praise it. In her image, foreigners' dishes are nothing more than tomatoes, potatoes and beef, which can be compared with Chinese cuisine, which has a vast and profound food culture of more than 5,000 years.
But today's delicate side dishes have really overturned her perception of foreigners' cooking.
Because of Li Zihan's health reasons, Gordon rarely uses some unhealthy practices and ingredients in the dishes he serves them. Of course, unhealthy here means that for football players, there is no problem for ordinary people.
Everyone was quite happy to eat this dinner, at least Li Zihan looked at the menu when he swiped the card, and his heart was not as distressed as before. Of course, this is not because Gordon looked at his friend's relationship and gave him a free order or a discount, you must know that even if he has a good relationship with him, if it wasn't for his treat, he wouldn't give anyone a free order.
After dinner, Li Zihan took Yi Dashan and his wife to walk back along the famous King's Road, and the back of the group laughed and disappeared under the night view of the Thames.
The day after Li Zihan rested, Li Zihan continued to accompany Yiyi's parents in the morning. He took the two to Arsenal's Emirates Stadium business district, where they toured the Arsenal club's Hall of Honour and the bronze statues of Arsenal's celebrities on the square in the business district.
And the couple once again witnessed Li Zihan's popularity, and when he appeared at the Emirates Stadium, he was immediately surrounded by water. Later, the security guards stationed at the scene were dispatched to ensure that there were no accidents.
But even so, Li Zihan's hand was sore when he signed for the fans.
It's not a race day, but there are a lot of people who come here for sightseeing. In addition to British locals, the most are international students in the UK or Chinese who come to the UK for tourism.
Since Li Zihan joined Arsenal, major domestic travel agencies have listed visiting the Emirates Stadium as the focus of all attractions.
The Emirates Stadium has become one of the must-visit destinations for Chinese in the UK, along with famous attractions such as Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, the London Eye, Big Ben, Greenwich and Downing Street.
This directly boosts the economic and commercial income of the Arsenal club, and also expands Arsenal's popularity in the Greater China region. Originally, Arsenal had a good influence in the hearts of domestic fans, even if they were not Gunners fans, they had some more or less good feelings for Arsenal, unlike Juventus before.
As soon as Li Zihan joined Arsenal, he has now become one of the clubs with the largest fan base in China, and can completely compete with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Milan and other clubs.
Now Li Zihan, because of the "boasting" of the Chinese news media, almost no one does not know him. Just like the popularity of David Beckham and Ronaldo in China back then, some people don't even know that these two people play football, but they are really familiar with their names.
Wang Xue smacked her mouth, looked at Li Zihan, who was overwhelmed by the crowd, and said, "This is more popular than the national treasure giant panda." β
Yi Yi continued: "In a sense, he is now a national treasure. Once the British proudly said that they had Tesco and Beckham, and now the Chinese can also proudly say that although our football is not good, we have Li Zihan! β
All in all, I originally wanted to take Yiyi's parents to see the place where he "worked", but he didn't expect that people would treat him as a scenic spot.
At noon, before she had time to have lunch with Yiyi's parents, Li Zihan and Susan left in a hurry, leaving Yiyi alone to accompany her parents.
At noon, Li Zihan arranged some business activities, and he and his group of "God of Wealth" from China had a "friendly, mutual assistance, harmony and friendship" condolences.
Huawei and Li Zihan's commercial endorsement have been negotiated for a long time, and some preliminary intentions and treatment issues have been reached before. Today, their business delegation came to London to sign a specific contract with Li Zihan, and at the same time, they also wanted to follow Li Zihan's path to enter the Arsenal club and become one of Arsenal's partners. Of course, in layman's terms, Huawei is here to send money
Huawei's delegation was not unimpressive, and Huawei's big boss sent his son Ren Ping and Mark Micchison, senior vice president of Huawei Group's British company, as representatives. To show the company's sincerity and respect for Li Zihan and the Arsenal club.
Of course, he wants his son to appear in the eyes of Huawei's employees and executives, and make a difference to lay a good foundation for him to take over his class in the future.
The son inherits the father's business, which seems to be the traditional concept of the big boss, and he does not seem to hand over his hard work to his partner Mr. Xu, although the other party has the support of the employees.
When China talks about business, it is inevitable to avoid drinking and talking at the dinner table. But considering that he was going to report to the training base tomorrow, Li Zihan refused the request to drink.
For him, one or two business contracts can be ruined, but there are some things that cannot be changed, such as eating a lot of junk food and three-high food that is not good for his health, and drinking as little alcohol as possible.
Who is in charge and who is second, Li Zihan is very clear, everything about himself is brought by football. I should also consider the problem from the aspect of playing football off the field, after all, I am not a balloon star in my thirties who needs to make money for retirement.
Obviously, such an attitude made the prince very unhappy, if it weren't for Mark Micchison's presence, it is estimated that he would have left directly.
In his opinion, if he doesn't give him face as the God of Wealth, of course he doesn't have to give face to others.
Li Zihan smiled in his heart, he is also the crown prince, why is the gap so big. John can talk and joke with himself, and even play with Susu
But after thinking about it, Li Zihan didn't care, thinking that there are too many rich second generations like this in China. Among them, this prince is quite good, and he didn't go straight away.
It seems that he knows that he himself is the ironclad successor designated by the big boss, and he will be in charge of this commercial giant ship in the future, so it is inevitable that he will develop a little "domineering" as a leader from an early age.
Anyway, the internal affairs of other people's companies have nothing to do with him at all, Li Zihan only cares about reading the contract and making a few jokes with Mark from time to time, as for the prince, he is not familiar with him anyway.
