Zhang Hong was talking to Yu Chuan and Zhang Shuqiu, and Ning Ye seemed to be drinking tea very intently.

As soon as Zhang Hong turned around, he saw Ning Ye drink half of a cup of tea in an instant, and said to Zhang Shuqiu with a smile: "Look at it, you cultural people, you just don't have what I said, this tea just makes people drink it so much that they can't put it down, can they not quench their thirst?" ”

Yu Chuan held the teacup and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, so many of us are not as cultured as Sister Zhang." ”

Zhang Hong blushed a little when she heard this: "You don't hurt my sister and me, if you want to say that Xiaoqiu is still powerful." It turned out that the people we had there drank this tea as leaves, boiled in water, and let it cool to death, but Xiaoqiu told me to soak it in warm water and separate the leaf buds. You don't know, I've given away this tea in the past few years, wow, familiar customers and friends are chasing after me, and someone came to ask me if I sold it, is it very expensive......"

"This tea is all from the mountains, and it is unique to our place, and it is not uncommon to not be able to buy it outside, Sister Zhang can consider doing this business." Zhang Shuqiu nodded.

Yu Chuan looked at Ning Ye's teacup, which had bottomed out, and asked with a smile, "What does Director Ning think?" If you want to buy tea, such tea, would you consider it? ”

Ning Ye raised his glass and said: "This tea is indeed different, this fragrance is not the same as green tea and white tea, if you like it, you must like it very much." ”

Zhang Hong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "There are all those tea trees on the mountain, it's okay to give a gift, I'm afraid I can't afford to sell it, and besides, this good master for making tea, we don't have it there, and we don't think it's tea there." ”

Zhang Shuqiu took a small sip of the cup of tea, and then smelled the aroma of the food, and the two waiters came in with trays to serve the food.

Zhang Hong hurriedly stood up and took the crockpot in the hand of the waiter in front of him and put it on the table, uncovered the lid, and instantly the fragrance of local chicken came to his nose, Zhang Hong introduced: "Xiaoqiu should be familiar with it, our unique earthen pot stewed chicken soup on the mountain, is that the taste?" ”

When Yu Chuan saw Zhang Shuqiu's eyes shining, he smiled and said, "Well, if she just came today, she would have to come to you." ”

The waiter served the dishes, a dish of dried stir-fried small ginseng fish, a pot of bacon and boiled bamboo shoots, but Zhang Hong took the soup bowl in front of Ning Ye first and said: "I don't care about them, I must let the distinguished guests who come back first taste our authentic Lingshang Feitu chicken soup." As he spoke, he directly scooped out a chicken leg, added three spoonfuls of soup, and brought it to Ning Ye, who was looking at the tall and narrow earthen pot and looking at the strange.

Yu Chuan said with a smile: "Sister Zhang and Shuqiu's hometown are not far away, this local chicken is in their place, they are all called to fly on the lead, it is very difficult to catch, you taste it, the taste is really good." ”

Zhang Shuqiu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not too far, it's the distance between this mountain and that mountain, but it's just a dead horse running on the mountain." ”

Zhang Hong laughed when he heard this: "Now that the road has been built, it will be better, it turns out that I have to transport some food to know how difficult it is, but now it is much better, otherwise although this chicken soup is supplied with more than ten cans a day, no matter how expensive it is, I still dare not sell it." ”

Yu Chuan answered: "Sister Zhang, leave us alone, hurry up and take a set of utensils and eat with us." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hong said mysteriously: "Don't be busy, I still have good things for you." ”

As he spoke, he opened the refrigerator door again, and took out a sealed glass jar from inside, which was a dark red liquid, Zhang Shuqiu smiled: "Mulberry wine? ”

"It's not, this is our family's big brew, there are only three cans left, drink this can at noon, and you can take the remaining two cans." Zhang Hong said as he took a cup and a small wine scoop and scooped the wine out.

Yu Chuan glanced at Ning Ye and said, "Sister Zhang, we still have something to do in the afternoon, I'm afraid we won't be able to drink this wine." ”

Zhang Hong's hand kept moving: "Why don't you know the degree of this wine?" Drink-like, or drink this one. ”

Zhang Hong said and looked at Ning Ye and said, "Leader, you must taste it, there is no other place." ”

Ning Ye naturally knew the meaning of the song when he heard the strings, nodded and smiled: "Is it a wine made from mulberry fruits?" ”

"Yes, it's not brewed liquor, it's brewed fruit wine, so it's very mild." Zhang Hong nodded.

"Then I'm going to try it, it's a special flavor." Ning Ye turned out to be the first glass of wine handed over by Zhang Hong. The wind swept over Zhang Shuqiu, who was drinking soup and looking at the wine, and he laughed a little in his heart, and suddenly felt that this meal had made a lot of money, such a cold and cold person, and such a fresh side, but he had a new conclusion: he likes food, likes to drink tea, likes to drink a little wine, such a smart and lively person cannot be cold by nature.

"Ah, this little fish is delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's also in the mountains, right?" Zhang Shuqiu asked with some surprise.

"It's rare to have a network in the ditch, or Xiaoqiu has a mouthful. The bacon is smoked with local pork, and the dried bamboo shoots are greatly dried by my family, the most tender, you all taste it. There are still dried bracken today, it is estimated that Lao Yan is still cooking, and bean dregs, stir-fry a tender cabbage heart, and it will be served in a while. You can eat more! "Zhang Hong is the same as Shubao, and he introduced today's dish in a few words.

Ning Ye looked at the table of dishes that he rarely seemed to eat, some of which he had never seen before, such as the dried bracken boiled in bacon soup, which he had never seen before. The chicken soup is unusually delicious, there is no ginger or fishy smell at all, and the meat is delicate and elastic, not greasy or greasy. Although the bacon is smoked, it does not have the smoky smell of smoked meat that I have eaten before.

According to what Zhang Hong said, the smoked meat on their mountain is all killed in winter, the marinated meat is hung on the roof beam of the stove house, and the wood is burned under the fire, and all the dried pine needles and pine balls dropped on the mountain, or miscellaneous branches, are slowly smoked through, and the meat smoked out in this way cannot be bought in the market.

The four of them slowly drank the bottle of wine on the table of delicious dishes, which tasted sweet and had a natural mulberry flavor.

The time was just right, and after drinking half a cup of tea, the three of them said goodbye.

Zhang Hong took the bag and filled it with tea and wine, stuffed it to Zhang Shuqiu, looked at Yu Chuan and said: "It's not for you, our Xiaoqiu is a knowledgeable person, my sister likes your temperament, you must come more." ”

Ning Ye took his mobile phone and scanned the code to pay, Yu Chuan and Zhang Hong blocked the code together, Zhang Shuqiu smiled and said softly behind him: "Director Ning, don't be polite, Yu Chuan will get it right, let's go." ”

The three of them went out and walked a few steps, and Zhang Shuqiu saw that Yu Chuan had finished sending WeChat, so he asked, "You actually brought cash?" ”

"How dare I go to his house for dinner without cash? It's not that you don't know Sister Zhang, I'm sometimes afraid of her heart and liver to be kind to people. Yu Chuan said a little helplessly.

"People just thank you, but they don't want you to do anything." Zhang Shuqiu shook his head and said.

"But I didn't have to take care of them at that time." Yu Chuan pursed his lips and said. Seeing Ning Ye walking behind without saying a word, he turned his head and asked, "Director Ning has eaten well?" ”

"It's rare, almost all of them haven't eaten, but fortunately I came out today and met the two, and I was full, thank you! If you have a chance, you must let me come back. Ning Ye smiled, and Yu Chuan continued to greet her......

The tall French plane trees on the side of the road began to wither and curl their edges, and when the wind blew, a few of them swirled in the wind, and in the afternoon sun, the one-way street was particularly warm and soft.

Zhang Shuqiu took a deep breath, but the corners of his mouth were slightly curled because of such a warm and soft autumn afternoon, and he was in a very good mood.

Back in the hotel room, Yu Chuan half-lay and half-sat on the sofa, watched Zhang Shuqiu pack up his things, and chatted with her casually: "Why did you say that Director Ning suddenly came here like this today?" ”

"Which one? Are you not familiar with him? ”

"Haha, plus today, not counting the chance encounter at the venue, we have met three times."

"No way, I thought you knew each other well."

"The point is, I've heard that he's notoriously difficult to deal with, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had the courage to go to his office in the morning."

"And the people we are worried about the big boss? It seems to be fine. ”

"That is to say, you see his smile at noon today, and he hasn't made a face. Anyway, I always feel that this is not normal today, and abnormality is a demon. ”

"You're thinking too much, whatever, anyway, everything is going well at the moment. Besides, he always ate you today, and it wasn't us who rubbed his food. ”

"That's the problem, how strange it is that a leader like him took the initiative to rub us for a meal."

"Hey, it doesn't matter, anyway, if there are any moths, I'll wait until I come out, it's not the soldiers who will block the water and cover the earth, what else. I'm up to time, let's go first. Zhang Shuqiu tied his hair in a ponytail, shook it behind his head, took a beige backpack, and walked out with ease.

Yu Chuan rarely enjoyed the afternoon of stealing half a day's leisure, half-squinting, looking at the crisp autumn sky outside the window. There was a message sound from the mobile phone, Yu Chuan picked up the mobile phone a little lazily, glanced at it, as if he was not sure, and stared at it with wide eyes for a long time, only to throw the mobile phone directly on the bed in anger and bounce it high, and then fell down, but people didn't want to move......

Zhang Shuqiu went downstairs to the lobby, exactly at a quarter past two, and looked around the lobby while walking out, but saw Ning Ye sitting on the sofa on the right side of the lobby, and smiled and waved at her when he saw her come out.

Zhang Shuqiu was a little strange, but he still walked in the direction of Ning Ye.

Seeing Zhang Shuqiu standing in front of him with a strange expression, Ning Ye smiled and said, "Sit down and wait, Ms. Cathy will come down on time." ”

"Okay, thank you, Director Ning, you won't be the accompanying staff, right?" Zhang Shuqiu hesitated.

Ning Ye smiled and nodded: "As smart as ever." ”

Zhang Shuqiu looked at Ning Ye in some surprise, paused, and pointed at himself: "Me? Continue? ”

"Yes, I'm very smart, but I don't have a good memory." Ning Ye nodded, but that smile made Zhang Shuqiu a little confused.

Zhang Shuqiu was surprised: "My memory is not very good, why don't you give me a hint?" ”

Ning Ye stood up and whispered, "Maybe you'll remember it later, let's get ready to go." ”

Zhang Shuqiu followed Ning Ye's gaze and saw a middle-aged foreign woman dressed fashionably and decently walking over from the elevator room, and knew that Cathy, the guest served today, had arrived.

Ning Ye was obviously familiar with Cathy, and after introducing the two to each other, he walked to the waiting vehicle outside the lobby.

Ning Ye and Cathy communicated in English throughout the whole process, chatting about the weather in the afternoon and so on, Zhang Shuqiu suddenly felt that his Spanish translation was a bit redundant.

Cathy suddenly said to Zhang Shuqiu: "Miss Zhang's voice is very good, but it doesn't seem to be the same person as the translator a few days ago." ”

Zhang Shuqiu also knew that this was a taboo, so he explained in English as usual: "Her child is sick, so I will serve you." ”

"I see, it's a pity, there's no big problem with her child, right? Please convey greetings to me, working mothers are always hard. Cathy was as understanding as her kind face.

"In the hospital, no major problems, thank you, she also feels sorry!" Zhang Shuqiu replied.

"It's okay, your professionalism is good." Cathy paused, and suddenly asked in Chinese that he was not very fluent in: "What is Miss Zhang's full Chinese name?" ”

Zhang Shuqiu paused and replied, "Zhang Shuqiu." ”

Getting the answer, Cathy suddenly became confused, tilted his head sideways as if trying to recall something, and then suddenly turned his head and continued to ask in Chinese: "Did you translate a Spanish book called "Wild Run"?" ”

Hearing this, Ning Ye couldn't help but look back, and Zhang Shuqiu nodded in affirmation.

"I'm still reading your translation of this version at noon. A few days ago, I discussed your translation with my assistant, she also studied Chinese, and we are both written and not bad, but not very well. We've all read the original and feel as if the translation is more ...... than the original What's more, it's enjoyable, yes, it's enjoyable. Cathy said to Zhang Shuqiu very sexually.

Zhang Shuqiu sweated a little, and the translation had some principles, such as being faithful to the original work...... Ning Ye sat in the front row, listening even more sweaty.

Cathy suddenly laughed: "It's not that you have crossed the rules, but for some reason, your language is not like a translator, but more like a writer, more delicate and able to capture people's hearts." ”

Zhang Shuqiu had to joke: "Maybe this book, or this story, will be more enjoyable to write in Chinese." ”

"How did you come up with the idea of translating this book?"

"I think it's amazing, if it's a true story, then the protagonist is amazing, if it's fictional, the author is amazing, in short, it's magical."

"This author is a friend of mine, and when I go back, I will definitely convey your words to her." Cathy said excitedly.

"I should have already expressed this meaning through my words to her." Zhang Shuqiu said.

"Oh, that's a shame. But that's okay, I still want to have a drink with her and talk to her about it. Cathy's face was full of yearning.

However, at this time, the car had already approached Jiangda, and the simple and atmospheric gate was in front of him, and before getting out of the car, Ning Ye asked the driver to park the car at the west gate and wait.

Zhang Shuqiu was a little puzzled, isn't the west gate the location of the attached middle school, how can he go there?

After getting out of the car, Jiangda, which occupies half of the stone mountain, is right in front of you, and the rich aroma of osmanthus makes people feel refreshed. Cathy looked at the simple and atmospheric school gate, and was obviously in a good mood.

Zhang Shuqiu was in a complicated mood, and she felt like she was in a different world, she hadn't been to this place for at least ten years.
