The white-haired old man thought that Zeng Zhi was deliberately trying to be angry for him, and he was also grateful in his heart, stood up, learned the etiquette of those Chinese on TV, bowed to Zeng Zhi, and said: "Thank you for helping me out of the siege just now." ”

"You're welcome, I just see that the rich second generation is not pleasing to the eye, in the words of us Chinese, it is to hold the fight and act chivalrous." Zeng Zhi said with a smile, but he was not afraid of blushing for his self-praise.

Wang Yan naturally knows best what kind of person her husband is, after listening to Zeng Zhi's words, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter, and hurriedly drank tea to cover up, this guy's skin is too thick.

Zeng Zhi sat next to her, naturally saw it, stretched out his hand, secretly under the table, and twisted her thigh.

"Ahh Wang Yan screamed.

The white-haired old man immediately looked over, and even Melina looked at Wang Yan.

Wang Yanfen's face was flushed, she couldn't say that she was attacked on the thigh by Zeng Zhi, so she could only improvise and say to the white-haired old man: "I think this gentleman seems to be also a food connoisseur, is he studying Chinese food?" ”

The white-haired old man smiled and said, "My name is Rick Stan, and I am a food lover, and my favorite thing is to taste food from all over the world. But as for the connoisseur, I can't be counted, I can only eat, not cook. ”

"Just like me, I'm a foodie!" Zeng Zhi laughed and laughed at himself. Although he said that he has been cooking since he was a child, and now he has made some progress in his cooking skills, but compared to those super chefs, it is not worth mentioning at all.

Rick Stan also laughed, he often laughed at himself as a foodie, seeing Zeng Zhi say this, he had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend, and said: "I originally wanted to try Chinese food, but I didn't expect this restaurant to be very disappointing." ”

Zeng Zhi said a little strangely: "Isn't it easy to eat Chinese food?" Didn't the waiter say anything just now? Go out and turn left, there is a Chinese fast food restaurant. ”

Rick Stan shook his head and said to Zeng Zhi: "To tell you the truth, I have eaten almost all Chinese restaurants in all major cities in the UK, and it is very disappointing. This business is good, but the main thing is that the location is good, as for the dishes made, look at their service attitude. I've tried some other well-known Chinese restaurants, and although they're good, they all have their own problems. ”

When Zeng Zhi heard this, he became interested, and said to Rick Stein: "Let's hear it." ”

Wang Yan also began to pay attention to the old man opposite who couldn't stop talking about eating.

Rick Stein said: "In general, those Chinese restaurants that are run by Chinese or Chinese people taste authentic. Purely from the perspective of food, it is not bad, but I always feel that it is a shortcoming, freshness, and some things that have been eaten for decades, but the current catering industry pays attention to innovation, and often a batch of new dishes are released every month. ”

Zeng Zhi was a little impressed when he heard this, which coincided with many of his ideas.

Rick Stein added: "Another point is that these Chinese or Chinese-run Chinese restaurants are overly attached to Chinese traditions, but now many people value experience and health most when eating, just like you package the whole restaurant into a splendid Forbidden City, but we walk in, we don't feel it, and some of them will stimulate our appetite." ”

Zeng Zhi nodded again, which was exactly the same as he thought.

Simple but not simple, it is to carry a little bit of a different petty bourgeoisie!

"All in all, I'm a little disappointed!" Rick Stan shook his head and sighed.

When Wang Yan heard this, she became interested and asked, "Mr. Stan, what do you do?" ”

"Me?" Rick Stein smiled and said casually, "I don't have a regular job, I just write food reviews for newspapers and magazines. ”

Zeng Zhi and Wang Yan immediately understood, no wonder this guy knew so much about catering.

Zeng Zhi asked, "Mr. Nastan, have you ever been to China?" ”

Rick Stein shook his head and said, "China is still too far away. ”

Zeng Zhi said with a smile: "If you want to eat real Chinese food, you still have to go to China." ”

Rick Stan nodded and said, "Okay, even if you say that, I'll find time to go to China and try the most authentic Chinese food!" ”

Zeng Zhi said confidently: "Believe me, you will not be disappointed!" ”

………………

Had a lavish lunch, leaving a table full of food, and some uneaten abalone and shark fin.

Zeng Zhi refused to pack, but Rick Stan didn't mind, and finally he asked the waiter to pack and clear the table.

After leaving the restaurant, Zeng Zhi left a phone call for Rick Stein to call him again when he arrived in China, and then took Wang Yan and Melina's mother and daughter out of the hotel and went straight to Old Trafford.

It was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon when they went to lunch, and after some twists and turns, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, not far from the start of this afternoon's ball game.

Old Trafford is the home of Manchester United Football Club of the English Premier League and is known as the "Theatre of Dreams", with an area of approximately 7,140 square metres (68 metres ×105 metres) and a capacity of approximately 76,000 spectator seats, making it the second largest football stadium in England and one of the three UEFA five-star football stadiums in England.

The Old Trafford course was built in 1908 and completed in 1910 by Archibald Leach of Scotland.

In the 40s, Old Trafford was out of service for eight years due to repeated bombings by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War, before being reinstated in 1949.

In the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, the Old Trafford course underwent a series of renovations to add private rooms, electronic scoreboards and other supporting facilities.

In 2000, Manchester United expanded Old Trafford to 68,217 people, making it the largest stadium in England at the time. On 26 May 2006, the Old Trafford stadium reached a capacity of approximately 76,000 when the expansion was completed.

Old Trafford is one of Europe's top football stadiums, hosting major events such as the 1966 World Cup in England, the 1996 European Championship in England, the 2012 London Olympics, and the 2003 UEFA Champions League final.

In addition to football matches, Old Trafford also hosts concerts, tennis, hockey, boxing matches and other cultural and sports events in free time.

Zeng Zhi arrived at Old Trafford and Jesse Lingard was waiting for him at the entrance.

Last night, when Jesse Lingard left, he left Zeng Zhi's contact information, after all, he said that he would accompany Zeng Zhi to watch the game today.

Before coming to Old Trafford, Zeng Zhi called Jesse Lingard and made an appointment for a meeting.
