Egyptian food has a strong North African flair and Turkish flavor. Arabic 'color'.

"Although seafood, spices and other ingredients have never been in danger of collapse in Egypt, the traditional cooking methods have undergone a long period of tempering and have not changed. Therefore, in the gastronomic world, people are accustomed to hail Egyptian cooking as a living fossil of food. Yan Yixin introduced, "The taste is still good, although there is no way to compare the dishes in any corner of the world with our Chinese cuisine." ”

"That sounds a little chilling!" Yan Wan stuck out her tongue.

Living Fossils··· How did she think of trilobites or something?

Sure enough, as Yan Yixin said, dinner was very simple. The main course is grilled 'meat', seasoned with onions and spices, skewered and grilled, spread on celery and served with bread and salad. It's easy to eat, but the grilled 'meat' tastes good.

"The taste of the beef 'meat' cup and the fish 'meat' cup is not heavy, and it is more suitable for our oriental tourists." The two soups that Yan Yixin ordered, Yan Juan didn't think they were very delicious. But the grilled 'meat' is very fragrant, and Yan Juan suspects that he is actually a typical 'meat' eater.

The appetizers that come with it are very favorable.

"Hmm, it's better than Korean kimchi, why do we in China carry forward the 'spirit' of kimchi, but we haven't seen Egyptian food?" Yan Wan's practice of giving up the basics made Yan Yixin laugh dumbly.

Eat a meal very strongly, Yan Juan herself is not a picky eater, so she also appreciates the Egyptian food, and she eats a lot of face.

"Your phone is ringing..." Yan Xuan's mouth was stuffed with food, so the words he spoke were a little slurred.

"Well, it's nothing, I'll turn on the mute, so as not to disturb our interest from time to time." Yan Yixin looked at the screen and didn't answer.

"It can't be the company's business, right?" Yan Wan swallowed the food and finally became articulate.

Yan Yixin smiled: "I'm on vacation, and I have the right not to answer the company's call." ”

Is it? This right, she does not think is appropriate for the president of the company. Besides, it's still his family business.

"Why don't you pick it up and hear what's going on?" Yan Juan kindly suggested, although she also wanted to live a quiet two-person world here.

"What's going on, isn't it just a company? As long as it doesn't fall, it won't be a big deal. Yan Yixin frowned impatiently, "Besides, with grandpa in charge, don't worry about it." ”

"That... Could it be that your grandfather will take advantage of your departure to empty your power? Yan Juan thought of the plot on TV and kindly reminded him.

"Overhead? I can't ask for it. Yan Yi really didn't care, "With our mines, are you still afraid that we will starve to death?" When the time comes, we will simply retreat to Country O, where the environment is also very good. ”

"Then it's better to go to Zhejiang..." Yan Wan muttered. "What's so good about country O, I'm not familiar with life... While Jarvis seems friendly right now, these politicians are the least to trust. Who knows what will happen to us for the sake of his power! ”

After all, their acquaintance was destined to lack a good impression of Jarvis from the beginning of the kidnapping.

Yan Yixin immediately stretched his eyebrows: "You are right, Zhejiang has your Ling family and Zhang family, people are not born and familiar, and it is easier to live." So, you see, we have a choice, and we don't have to hang ourselves on the Yan tree at all. Take another 10,000 steps back and say, with my qualifications, it's not too difficult to find a job to cope with a well-off life, right? ”

Yan Juan couldn't cry or laugh: "You don't really want to get rid of the Yan family, do you?" ”

"I will not abandon my responsibility, but, compared to another responsibility, the Yan family is not the country I am willing to wait for."

"Another kind of responsibility?" Yan Wan was puzzled, what else was more important than the Yan family?

"That's—you." Yan Yixin looked at her with a smile, and the light reflected in his eyes, which made Yan Juan suddenly drunk with 'desire'.

Perhaps it was the mysterious environment of Egypt that made Yan Juan particularly susceptible to emotion.

"Do you think I'm more important than Yan?" Although I know that such a comparison is stupid, which 'woman' doesn't want to be more important than the country in the eyes of the man she loves.

Although the 'woman' also hopes that her man can have the country.

"Of course, you are the most important." Yan Yixin's answer was affirmative and resolute, so that Yan Juan couldn't do it if he wanted to be a coquette.

She was stunned, and 'revealed' a smile that lasted for a long time. Because it comes from the heart, it is extraordinarily brilliant, as if the afternoon sun has never been depressed.

The mobile phone that was turned on silent was still flashing, and Yan Juan couldn't help but point, "Really don't answer?" In fact, it doesn't matter if you take it next. ”

Yan Yixin put his mobile phone in his pocket: "Let's go, let's go to the night market in Cairo, it's very lively." Because the climate here is dry and hot, most residents have more opportunities to come out after dusk. ”

Yan Juan had every reason to suspect that this was Old Man Yan's phone call. Probably he couldn't have imagined that he would make his beloved grandson refuse to answer the phone because of a temporary idea at the press conference, right?

Thinking of the old man lying quietly on the shore, covered with loneliness, she lifted her happiness, as if she had robbed her, with two distractions.

If it was at the cost of their ancestors and grandchildren, Yan Juan felt that it was too heavy. That old man has already fought with his son, and if he turns against his grandson again, it will be inevitable... It's pathetic, isn't it?

"Was it your grandfather's call?" Yan Juan asked quietly.

"It's not." Yan Yixin replied very simply.

For this unexpected answer, Yan Juan behaved a little wooden. The words of consolation that had turned around in his head for two or three times were also stuck in his throat, like bones in his throat, but he couldn't spit them out.

"That..." She wanted to ask who it was, but she felt that it seemed a bit of a suspicion of 'force' to ask, she and Yan Yixin had a close relationship, but it didn't mean that she could be allowed to 'meddle' in the company's affairs, so she was immediately silent when she said a word.

"Grandpa, will you need to call in person? Naturally, someone can figure it out and call me for him. Do you think I need to deal with these people? If you don't turn it off, you're afraid that something will really happen. Anyway, it's on mute, and there's nothing, it's just two more charges. Yan Yixin smiled self-deprecatingly, but the lines on the corners of his 'lips' were indescribably bitter.

The feeling for grandpa will never change, and it is a memory rooted in my heart. Those days when I went to and from work with him, as well as the days of hand-in-hand teaching, are always the warmest part of my heart.

This time, Yan Yixin didn't feel guilty. But when I thought of using Yan Juan to make a compromise, I couldn't.

Yan Juan was wearing a black 'colored' T-shirt and a white 'colored' short jacket on the outside. Wan Ting was in the wind, and the concern in his eyes warmed his heart.

Stretched out his hand and held her: "It's okay, one day, grandpa will figure it out." ”

"Hmm!" Yan Juan nodded vigorously, as if to convince himself to trust him, "Don't 'mess' too stiff with the old man, I think..."

"Don't worry, you'll have to call him grandpa in the future!" Yan Yixin smiled and scratched her nose.

"Hey, you have to pinch, you can't scrape! My nose is not 'stiff' enough, if you shave it again, I'll have a collapsed nose! Yan Juan deliberately exaggeratedly shouted.

"You're not called 'Ting', do you want to learn from Pinocchio?"

Pinocchio has a nose longer than an elephant's trunk because he lied, which is a fairy tale for children.

"That's not called 'stiff', it's long, it's heterosexual." Yan Juan smiled easily.

"Okay, I'll use it in the future." Yan Yixin deliberately pinched it hard.

"Ahhh You're going to murder my nose! Yan Juan shouted, turned around and walked towards the outside of the hotel.

The night breeze is a little cool.

"Actually, I really want the Sahara Desert!" Yan Juan looked at the crowd on the bustling street, and suddenly said yearningly.

"There is nothing to see about the desert, and the Egyptians hated it. It sounds like Egypt is vast, but in fact, nine-tenths of Egypt's land is desert. Fortunately, there is a Nile River that runs through all of Egypt, so that Egyptians have a prosperous city. Yan Yixin smiled kindly at her innocence.

"I watched the story of San'Mao and Jose, so I have an inexplicable liking for the Sahara." Yan Wan sighed.

"The truth is far less 'promising' than the book describes." Yan Yixin 'touched' her flying hair, "Life in the desert is very hard, and there are still many people who walk in and can't get out every year. ”

"So, I just longed for it, and I didn't dare to really go into the desert." Yan Juan shrugged his shoulders, "Let's go, let's go and see something rich in Egypt's special 'color'!" ”

There are many shops selling everything.

"Hey, this is a belly dance costume..." Yan Juan's eyes lit up, and he was immediately attracted by the Egyptian-style dance clothes, "By the way, belly dancing seems to be Egypt." Popular from all over Turkey. ”

Yan Yixin glanced at it and nodded: "Yes, what kind of gym is popular now." In fact, belly dancing in Egypt was originally just a fertility dance, as a religious ritual, through the form of dance to tell the story of nature and human reproduction. ”

"Oh, no wonder belly dancing is based on belly swings!" Yan Juan looked at the different costumes and had a kind of love that she couldn't put down.

Yan Yixin's heart moved: "By the way, didn't you promise me to go to the gym regularly?" There are belly dancers there, you can buy a few to take home, so you don't have to buy them on the fly. ”

Yan Juan quietly asked, "Are these clothes expensive?" ”

"Anyway, it's cheaper than in China, and this is the birthplace!"

It sounded like it made sense, and seeing that he picked out five sets in one go, he couldn't help but pull his sleeve with his hand: "Don't use so much!" I'm not going to perform professionally, I'm just learning casually to achieve the purpose of fitness. ”

"It's fun to learn when you have a knack."

Immediately afterwards, I bought a bunch of waist chains, bracelets, arm chains, shawls... Something like that. Seeing the American drama that Yan Yixin paid for, he was suddenly startled, "Didn't you say that it wasn't expensive?" ”

"Rest assured, compared to your assets, this is just a fraction of a fraction."

Yan Juan still felt distressed: "Then it can't be so 'messy' and 'flower'..."

She secretly wondered that when she went out to sweep goods with the noble 'women' in the past, she never seemed to feel distressed.

"How can this be called 'chaos' and 'flowers'?" Yan Yixin deliberately educated her seriously, "Do you know what the main contradiction you need to solve at this stage is?" ”

Yan Juan was 'kissed' by his serious mouth, and 'made' a little nervous: "What is it?" ”

"It's the contradiction between your growing assets and your still low purchasing power."

"You... It's really. Yan Juan couldn't cry or laugh, "Although I don't necessarily have Lu Xiang as noble, but these dance clothes, I think it should be more meaningful to sponsor two out-of-school children." ”

"I'll donate a little for you, and I'm sure I can sponsor no less than ten elementary school students."

Yan Juan blinked, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Whatever you do, I feel a little dizzy when I hear those numbers." Fortunately, I studied liberal arts back then, otherwise I wouldn't have had to live in three years of high school. ”

"Don't worry, my math is very 'good', and you can 'hand' me the work on numbers in the future." Yan Yixin did a good job in the division of labor, "Regarding the work such as words, I will 'hand' it over to you." ”

Yan Xuan thought ashamedly, except for Chinese that could beat him, foreign languages, including English, were not Yan Yixin's opponents.

Fortunately, Yan Yixin quickly diverted her attention and took her to a shop specializing in gadgets. The 'door' side is not very large, but there are many customers.

"What is this?" Yan Juan looked at the strange-shaped glass bottle and asked strangely.

"Juan, I really want to doubt that you are not a 'woman'."

Yan Wanran was terrified, do these glass bottles have a great connection with the 'woman'? But looking at it, Yan Juan still shook his head blankly, and he really couldn't see what the use of these bottles, large and small, with thin necks and wide bellies, was.

"This is a perfume bottle, for perfume. The ancient Egyptians were obsessed with aromatherapy and cleansing, and to this day, Egypt is the main supplier of fragrance essences from all over the world. When we go back, we can bring a little fragrance back. ”

"Oh, I don't like perfume." Yan Juan shook his head, but he liked these delicate and cute bottles very much.

"You can buy it back and put it in your room!"

"I still like the aroma of 'flowers' and grasses in nature, you can put a pot of fragrant 'flowers' such as jasmine, and the air of the whole house is fragrant." Yan Juan still insisted on his own opinion.

"And what are you looking at these bottles for?"

"Ah, this bottle is made of natural glass!" Yan Juan cheered, holding a long bottle with a thin neck, refusing to let go.

Egyptian businessmen praised Yan Juan for his knowledge of goods, and naturally he ate "flowers" and "messy" food.

Natural glass includes obsidian and vilarite meteorites. The former is an amorphous rock formed by the rapid condensation of high-temperature and red-hot magma from the surface under the condition of low pressure on the surface. It is produced in a wide area and has a high yield, so it is not a precious gemstone.

"This is a glass meteorite, right?" Yan Wan asked uncertainly.

"Well, yes." Yan Yixin is an authority, and he can recognize the true face of the gem without even borrowing instruments.

In fact, the glass meteorite used as the material of the bottle is not yet up to the level of gemstones.

"Miss, your vision is wonderful. This kind of glass meteorite is a glass material formed by melting at high temperature when the meteorite falls. Look at this transparency, it's natural! ”

Yan Juan asked the price, and saw that the production of the bottle was very beautiful, and there was a swan carved with a casual posture, gritted his teeth, and bargained with the boss without waiting for Yan Yixin to speak.

In fact, Yan Juan is not good at bargaining, and when she said a price, the boss nodded in embarrassment, and she knew that she had to be a little higher. But the price came out of his mouth, and he couldn't continue to pay it back, so he could only suffer a loss.

When I came out, I was still a little sullen.

Yan Yixin couldn't cry or laugh: "This price is not expensive, even if you pay it back, it will only pay back one or two hundred yuan, is it worth being so annoyed?" ”

"I always feel distressed when I think I 'spent' so much unjust money." Yan Wan muttered, "Next time I'm going to pay it back, but I'm afraid that the shopkeeper will scold... When it comes to bargaining, Lu Xiang's number of segments is relatively high. ”

Yan Yixin pulled her into another storefront, except for the big 'door', three walls were full of shelves, all of which were copper products. Copper plates, copper pots, copper dishes, copper kettles... For a while, it was dizzying, and the eyes were full of golden light.

"These carvings are so detailed!" Yan Juan forgot about the unhappiness of the bargain for a while, and instead praised a long-necked and pot-bellied wine jug in his hand, "However, why don't you just use silver to make it?" In this case, you don't have to try the poisonous liquor, you will know it as soon as you pour it in. ”

"Ancient Egypt admired gold and copper, and most of the jewelry was made of gold."

Yan Juan nodded in agreement: "That's right, you think the old masks are all golden masks." I don't know if it will feel too heavy when I wear it on my face. The density of gold is quite high. ”

"How much weight can you weigh if you hit thinly! You really worry about the ancients. ”

As a result, while talking and laughing, the two bought two more copper kettles.

When he returned to the hotel to check the harvest of the night, Yan Wan frowned, "Obviously, when I came, I traveled lightly, but when I went back, I had to have an extra box." ”

"No, it won't."

"Won't?" Yan Juan smiled bitterly, "Look at it, this is only one day, and we have already purchased so many things, and we have no room for our boxes at all." ”

"These can be checked back by the hotel in advance, and we don't need to bother at all." Yan Yixin disagreed, "It's rare to come to Egypt, and you should buy some souvenirs." ”

Anyway, he had already bought it back, so Yan Juan stopped complaining and lined up the things on the coffee table.

"Ah, these glass bottles are really beautiful, and their faces are very bright." Yan Juan was careful to put it down, "The transparency is also good, it's a pity to use it for perfume." ”

"I'll take you to Khan Khaliri Square during the day, where you will find everything. It can be said that as long as you want it, you can find it. ”

"Really? Is it the same as the market in Yiwu? Yan Juan was full of interest.

"You'll know when you go. Like spices, papyrus paintings, Turkish-style kaftan hanging lamps, carpets, chessboards, ornaments... In short, it will make you see the 'dazzle' and 'messy'. Yan Yixin refused to reveal the 'dew' of heaven, "I'll take you tomorrow." ”
