074 Invisibly pretending
Watching the eldest lady of the Ren family coming, not only did Wencai's classmates show squinting eyes, but in fact, Zhou Bufan couldn't help but take a few looks, this has seen big movies since childhood, and he can't think about several of the characters in it.
Of course, in the perception of the Chinese people, it is definitely wrong to look at people so directly, and I inadvertently offended this little arrogant lady and was glared at.
After a few people sat down, the waiter sent the menu in English, and the master and apprentice looked confused, it was certain that the old man Ren couldn't understand it, and even the eldest lady Ren only understood a small part of it, but these two were more proficient.
I have to say that the Chinese people of this era really worship Western culture to the extreme, obviously it is a tea restaurant in China, and ninety percent of the people who come in to consume are Chinese, but the menu is not even printed in Chinese.
It can only be said that after the decline of national strength to the extreme, the cultural self-confidence has been wiped out, and it seems that many people of insight in this era advocate the complete abolition of Chinese characters, which is really helpless.
"Brother Zhou, can't you understand these foreign languages?" Seeing that Zhou Bufan had looked at the menu for a long time, Wen Cai asked mysteriously.
"This foreign language can be understood, but as a restaurant in China, most of the customers who come to the store are Chinese, in fact, Chinese should also be printed, of course, this tea restaurant can also print English in order to be in line with international standards, so that the force is there, and it is much more convenient for customers to order, how to say that catering service customers are God."
Zhou Bufan's words made several people present a little unable to react.
"Don't know how to pretend to understand?" Miss Ren muttered quietly.
"Tingting, don't talk nonsense, it will make people laugh." Master Ren reminded.
"How can he talk nonsense, just say something that others don't understand."
“…… Actually, this latte is derived from Italian milk, so there is a slight mistake in this menu. ”
Zhou Bufan's words made the eldest lady turn her head angrily, but she secretly wondered whether this guy really understood or pretended to understand, but he was too good at pretending.
And the waiter was even more depressed, he just came here to drink double the coffee, and in order to pretend to be forced in front of the beauties, he actually said so much nonsense, which is really annoying.
“…… Well, I'll give you a feedback from the manager, so what would you like to drink? ”
"Forget it, be the same as them."
"Yes sir!"
"Wait!"
"What else does the gentleman command?"
"Brother, I also smelled the smell of fried buns on the street before, please help me buy some fried buns and come back, I really haven't eaten them for a long time, but I tasted them to death." Hearing Zhou Bufan's words, the waiter's face was a little ugly.
However, after seeing Zhou Bufan's tip of 5 pounds, the unhappy look suddenly disappeared.
"Sir, please wait a moment, I'll come here when I go." The waiter left quickly to help buy fried buns, but a few people also looked at Zhou Bufan like a monster.
Of course, the old man Ren also recognized the pound sterling, and to be honest, he was really surprised at how rich this young man's family was, and the value of five pounds was enough to exchange for thirty silver dollars in the bank.
This is by no means to pretend to be for others to see, there is really no shortage of money, that look will definitely not deceive people, I really don't care.
And the whole process did not give people a sense of domineering, but quietly stuffed the tip in the past, so I did have a very strong interest in this young man.
Before, I was just looking to see if there was an opportunity to cooperate in business, but now I was thinking about finding a mother-in-law for my daughter, because this young man's eyes lit up when he saw his daughter appear just now.
In fact, this tip is indeed a bit high, you must know that the value of the pound in this era is indeed very high, and five pounds on that cruise ship can make two dusty women spend the Spring Festival together.
It's just that the minimum denomination of the banknote is only five pounds, of course, there may be a little bit of pretense to force the heart, but fortunately the waiter recognizes this kind of sterling that has only been issued for more than a year, otherwise it is really a little embarrassing.
"The foreign silver ticket you just gave looks really strange, I don't even recognize it." Wen Cai whispered.
"That thing is indeed a bit shabby, far less delicate than the American knife, but the quality is still good, and it is also easy to carry, much more convenient than silver dollars and copper coins."
"What does a knife look like?" I was really curious and asked again, but when I saw that the master was staring at me, I quickly shut up, in fact, Uncle Nine was also curious, I had seen the sword coins of Chinese cultural relics, and I had really seen the knife coins of foreigners.
Seeing that Uncle Nine wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask, Zhou Bufan immediately released two 100 face value knives from his wallet and handed them to the two of them.
"Uncle Nine, Brother Wencai, the beautiful knife is like this, leave a souvenir when you meet for the first time."
"This doesn't look like a knife, Master, why do you say this paper money is called a beautiful knife?" Wencai asked his master in a whisper, but the ninth uncle who asked was a little speechless, and looked at the banknote repeatedly, no matter how it looked, it didn't look like a knife.
"Uh, a slip of the tongue, it's a slip of the tongue, this U.S. currency unit is dollar in English, the first letter sounds similar to a knife, and the correct translation is the dollar."
After listening to Zhou Bufan's explanation, the master and apprentice also suddenly realized, but they never accepted other people's money as a gift, so they didn't accept that dollar in life or death.
"You're really coming back from studying abroad?" The eldest lady finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
"No, I was just doing some research on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs in Egypt."
Although Miss Ren didn't know what the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs were to study, and she didn't even clear where Egypt was, it was just that this guy had a feeling of confusion when he said it, and of course the other three were similarly feeling.
……
The legendary Huang Million finally appeared, Master Ren finally left to say hello, and the coffee was finally served, and of course, there was a lot of fried buns that the waiter helped buy.
I used to eat almost every day for breakfast, but I haven't eaten it since the epidemic began, and I haven't had the opportunity to taste this delicacy after traveling through several time and space.
Originally, because of Zhou Bufan's presence, Miss Tingting didn't plan to play the pair of masters and apprentices, but when she saw Zhou Bufan gobbling up raw fried buns one by one, she really doubted the origin of this guy.
The eldest lady finally staged a classic scene, taking a sip of pure coffee, adding a sip of milk, and adding a spoonful of sugar to rinse her mouth and drink it a few times.
"Miss Ren's way of drinking coffee is really chic, stirring milk coffee sugar in her mouth like this, I think it must have a different flavor."
As he spoke, he added some milk and sugar to the coffee, and it was only then that the master and apprentice duo added some milk and sugar as Zhou Bufan did.
"You are allowed to eat fried buns in the café, and I am not allowed to play with a new way to drink coffee?"
"Hey, don't be angry, in fact, I also like to try different ways to drink coffee, I've tried to add wolfberries to coffee before, and I've also tried to use the coffee board to root Xia Sangju and the like, the taste can be said to be quite weird."
"Stinky boy, are you fooling me?"
