Chapter 534: Cheng Fu's Abnormality
Maybe it was because Cheng Yu had a kind reminder to Zhou Datong, saying that Zhou Datong entertained them with the friendship of a landlord during this meal, but in fact, Zhou Datong didn't sit at the dinner table much.
Because it takes time to roast the whole sheep, Zhou Datong arranged a few side dishes first, and at this time, he was sitting on the table.
After toasting a glass of wine to each of the people at the table, Zhou Datong left quietly.
The reason was that he went to see what kind of heat the roasted whole sheep was on, but this time, until the roasted whole sheep was brought to the table, he never appeared again at all.
Even after the main dish roasted whole sheep came up, Zhou Datong did not stay at the table all the time.
This can be regarded as a performance, Zhou Datong personally dismembered the sheep for everyone.
A sharp knife more than half a foot long fluttered in Zhou Datong's chubby hand, and he split the different parts of the sheep with a light weight, and put them into different plates.
This hand is a unique craft, and it won the applause of these people at the table.
It is indeed quite a bit of effort, especially for Xiao Zhang, who has always been more particular about eating, he said that in addition to watching performances that are purely showy in some places, Zhou Datong is definitely the best interpretation of the four words of Ku Ding and Niu.
Naturally, everyone asked, and Zhou Datong also explained that he has loved to eat mutton since he was a child, especially the way to eat it roasted and dipped in chili noodles and salt.
I saw the craftsmanship of a master who roasted whole sheep, and he suddenly felt that a senior foodie like himself should have such a set of skills.
So I pestered the master and studied with him for two months, and finally managed to master this craft.
After that, he practiced more than 100 sheep to reach today's level.
This was a small climax at the dinner table, but soon, everyone began to talk about topics related to the recording of the show, and Zhou Datong also chose to leave again with great interest.
Anyway, he can't get involved in these topics, so he can't understand them at all.
Cheng Yu also silently watched Zhou Datong's performance, thinking that investing in gold fingers can serve Zhou Datong once, even if it is a return for him.
Seeing that a sheep was two-thirds of the way down, after all, there were only six people at the table, in addition to Cheng Yu's four, there were also on-site directors who helped Xiaozhang and Mr. Dai Salt record the show before.
Zhou Datong didn't eat too much, and the six people killed two-thirds of the sheep, which was already considered a super performance.
I also drank several bottles of red wine, and the two directors and Xu Wanting were a little drunk, so they said that they wanted to go back and rest, after all, they would start recording the show early tomorrow morning.
The guests drank two more glasses, as long as they could get up, it was not a big problem, but if they kept their hangover, it would be over, and the show would be filmed in a mess.
The time was actually early, that is, after nine o'clock, and Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang didn't want to rest.
It didn't matter if he took Mr. Salt, but he saw that Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang were already talking to each other, and felt that maybe he couldn't interject too much in the conversation later, so he got up and followed Xu Wanting and they said goodbye and left.
In the end, only Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang were left.
Xiao Zhang looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile, "Can you drink more?"
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I didn't drink much just now." β
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he took out a bottle from the two boxes of red wine prepared by Zhou Datong before, and said while opening the wine: "Don't say it, this friend of yours is a unique eyesight, and it is not easy to be a man to do this, why don't you call him to come over and drink some together." β
Cheng Yu smiled: "I'm fine, it's not that I'm afraid that you won't be used to it." It just so happens that the mutton is cold, let's see if he can add another heat. β
Getting up and turning around, Cheng Yu shouted: "Mr. Zhou!
Zhou Datong simply appeared in response, Cheng Yu's copper words still had an aftersound in his mouth, and Zhou Datong had already run over with a smile.
"Cheng Shao, what's the matter?"
"The mutton is a little cold, you can ask someone to help you add some heat." β
Zhou Datong immediately walked to the table, looked at the little left of each plate, and said, "Then why don't you put them all together?"
"Uh-huh, just pour it on a plate, whatever the hot spot is, it's the next drink. β
Zhou Datong didn't say a word, picked up the plate and began to mix the remaining mutton on a plate and pour it into a plate, and then wanted to leave.
"You can find someone to help you get it, you haven't eaten anything after running all the time, sit down and eat something, and let's talk for a while." β
Zhou Datong was stunned for a moment, quite flattered, but still insisted on taking it hot himself.
Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang saw that he insisted, so they didn't want to be hypocritical and let Zhou Datong go.
"There were so many people just now, I didn't dare to talk about it. You asked me to help me inquire about it, and I inquired. β
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "I have a heart." I'll invite you to dinner later. β
"Don't, I haven't told you what I've found out, so you're going to invite me to dinner?"
Cheng Yu laughed, picked up the wine glass, and said, "If you don't find out something, you will definitely continue to help me inquire, and I have to invite this meal sooner or later." There must be no drama in the past few days, so I'm just saying it casually, and I don't know when it will be cashed out. β
"Haha, you're really calculating. Xiao Zhang also picked up the wine glass, touched Cheng Yu with a smile, and the two of them each took a sip.
"Actually, I really didn't ask about anything, that cousin of yours, he acted swaggering enough.
That is, because he is swaggering enough, almost all his moves fall in the eyes of the discerning people.
is so high-profile, who would dare to promise him to be a recommender for him?
It's good that nothing happened, but if something happens, the entire dark web won't know who his recommender is?
When something goes wrong, everyone else will definitely blame the recommender. β
Cheng Yu nodded and said, "So, he failed to become a member of the dark web, and no one dared to be this recommender for him, and even because of his behavior, some members of the dark web felt dissatisfied?"
Xiao Zhang raised his head and looked out the window, because it was the end of the lunar calendar, the moon had not yet appeared in the sky at this time, and because the pollution here was relatively serious, not a single star in the sky could be seen. On the contrary, there is a hazy white light, which seems quite cold.
"I can't talk about dissatisfaction, what my classmates heard was that those members of the dark web probably didn't think much of your cousin. If you don't be a recommender, on the one hand, you don't dare, and on the other hand, you really don't bother to do it for him. It's just that I always think that his behavior is a little strange. β
Cheng Yu bowed slightly, and was also a little contemplative.
Indeed, Cheng Fu's behavior is indeed a bit strange.
The dark web, though said to be in the domain of some people, is not a secret.
But I've never seen someone like him shouting so loudly and shouting to join the dark web.
After all, it is a trading network hidden in the shadows, if you can really see the light and can get it on the table, you don't need to call it the dark web.
So it's not that mysterious, but it's quite mysterious.
At least, ordinary people may really regard the dark web as a product of movies and television, and they don't know that there is such a trading platform in the world.
Cheng Fu is a person, Cheng Yu doesn't know much about him, but whether it is Du Changfeng or Xue Changyun, they all think that he is a person who is quite a bit of a city government.
It seems deep on weekdays, but it is particularly naΓ―ve in the handling of this matter, and this abnormal behavior really makes people feel a little weird.
"I asked my classmates to help me inquire, and when I came back, the news was that your cousin was a not very outgoing person when he was in school. After thinking about doing things, whether there is a city government or not, at least it is not his current performance. So, personally, I think it's a little weird. β
Seeing Cheng Yu in deep thought, Xiao Zhang smiled again and said, "Of course, this is just my family's words, and I just feel that his behavior is a little difficult to explain, so I pay more attention to it." You're his cousin, and you certainly know more about him than I do. β
Cheng Yu shook his head slowly, smiled bitterly and said, "My cousin and I are actually not very familiar with each other.
You know, I went to the United States after graduating from elementary school and only came back last year.
The time of my holiday and his holiday is different, that is, I can see each other once or twice during the New Year.
I know him, I'm just afraid that I'm really on the same starting line as you.
However, the feedback given to me by people who are a little more familiar with him is that he is a relatively deep person, can hide things in his heart, and belongs to the type of planning and then moving.
Therefore, whether it is in this matter, or in his attitude towards me after returning to China for the Chinese New Year this year, I feel that it is somewhat inconsistent with his previous comments. It's weird indeed. β
Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "Oh? And this thing, what is his attitude towards you?"
"It's nothing, if it weren't for the fact that someone vaccinated me in advance, I probably wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong with his behavior.
That is, he showed that he was very enthusiastic with me, seemed to want to maintain a very close relationship with me, and showed that he was quite estranged from his father and brother.
But my father-in-law said that in their family, he actually had a better relationship with his father, that is, my second uncle, and my second uncle also liked him more and pinned more hopes on him.
Oh, last year, his brother, who is also my cousin, targeted me several times, and my second uncle did not interfere harshly in this regard, so my father sent them father and son.
At this time, my cousin should also be in the northwest, and my second uncle was thrown to Hong Kong Island to take a spare job, basically belonging to the type of salary that does not have to work. β
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he immediately understood what Cheng Yu meant.
In other words, he has such a good relationship with his father, although his brother was stupid and did something wrong, but in the end, it was because of you that his father and brother were sent out. So, he should be wary of you and not try to show kindness. β
Cheng Yu waved his hand and said, "It's not entirely like that.
Moreover, since he was a thoughtful man, he should have understood that it was impossible for me to change my attitude towards him because of his attempts to get close.
At the very least, I'm sure I'm on the lookout for their whole family.
Therefore, no matter how much kindness he unleashes on me, it is doomed to be useless.
My dad also gave him a good position, so that he could adapt to the advanced group among the various departments, and finally gave him the position of his assistant. β
"One person is below ten thousand people, there is no need to compete with you, the prince who completely ignores the family business, whether it is hostile or close, it seems very abrupt. β
Cheng Yu gently knocked on the table and said, "Yes, that's what it means." β
Xiao Zhang also thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "That's really strange. Combined with his stupid attempt to join the dark web, it is even more bizarre. Eh, you say, could it be that his actions were actually instructed by your father?"
"What is my dad's purpose in doing this?"
"I don't know.
However, to be honest, we Chinese businessmen will never show too much thirst for such things as the dark web, if not to avoid it.
Who wouldn't want to join such an organization?
Unless, someone invites your father to join, but your father tries to stay away from them, and it is inconvenient for him to refuse directly.
So, you can only use this way to let your cousin stir it up. β
Cheng Yu pondered for a while and felt that it was not a possibility.
But in the end, I still think that this possibility is extremely low.
"It's likely, but it's very small, my father is not that kind of character. Moreover, he doesn't have much business in Europe, at least he doesn't show any intention of expanding his business to Europe, so there's no reason for people on the dark web to try to invite him to join, right?
Xiao Zhang waved his hand and flatly denied it: "No." β
"Perhaps, your father didn't tell you?"
"No way. That's the kind of thing my dad would definitely tell me.
Let's put it this way, just because of you, in addition to asking a few of my classmates to inquire, I also asked my father.
My father said that none of his business partners had ever mentioned the dark web to him.
It's not that the qualifications are insufficient, but those white people are actually not very willing to let the yellow race join them.
You know, racism is just a superficial disappearance, and those people actually have a certain kind of thinking that is ingrained in their hearts.
Not everyone is like that, but there is always a part. β
Cheng Yu laughed and said, "Don't be so nervous, I just want to make a comparison with this." You see, your family is slightly better than my family in all aspects, and your father's qualifications are better than mine, and no one on the dark web has ever thought of inviting him, but as you said, there may be such a as racism mixed in, why did they invite my father?"
Xiao Zhang also smiled and said, "That's the same." Come on, I didn't help you find anything useful anyway, drink a bar. β
Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang drank all the wine in the cup, and just about to pour the wine, Zhou Datong came back, took the wine bottle, and poured it for the two.
"You two eat while it's hot. Zhou Datong pointed to the plate of mutton he had just put down, and then poured himself a glass of wine.
There was no superfluous toasting session, and there was no deliberate search for topics, Zhou Datong played a role of praise very appropriately.
Basically, only in the interval between Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang's conversation, he would say one or two words of cooperation, which made Xiao Zhang obviously feel that Zhou Datong was a person worth befriending.
Zhou Datong's performance is really good, although it can't be said that he is neither humble nor arrogant, but he doesn't show too much stammering.
It can be said that while he showed that he was slightly inferior to Cheng Yu and Xiao Zhang, he did not make himself look humble, in short, he felt that he was a very interesting person.
Cheng Yu actually doesn't feel much yet, but Xiaozhang has made more acquaintances with all kinds of people.
Most people either forcibly show a tough posture of "I have to be equal to you" in front of him, or they are simply humble to the point of flattery, and the word neither humble nor arrogant is actually very difficult to grasp its proportions.
Moreover, there is a huge disparity between status and wealth, you are neither humble nor arrogant, and it seems to be generous and decent, but if the other party consciously is a head above you, why should he accept your humility and arrogance?
For the low-status party, being neither humble nor arrogant may be praised, but in the eyes of the other party with a high status, he will think that you are pretending to be a big-tailed wolf with him.
Unless the other party treats you as an equal to him in his mentality, your humility and arrogance are likely to turn into arrogance in his eyes.
Therefore, in comparison, Zhou Datong's performance is particularly valuable. He grasped the sense of distance between high and low very well, looking up slightly, but never flattering.
The three of them drank two bottles of red wine, and the time was almost eleven o'clock, Xiao Zhang and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, and the two said almost at the same time: "Let's disperse." β
Zhou Datong also drank the little residual wine in the cup unhurriedly, then got up and said, "I'll send the two of you back." β
Back at the inn, of course Zhou Datong really couldn't get in, so the three of them said goodbye at the gate.
After Cheng Yu entered the courtyard, he felt that Zhou Datong seemed to have something to say to him, and he was about to turn around and ask him. But Xiao Zhang suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and shouted at Zhou Datong: "Xiao Zhou, I don't know if Ming'er will get busy tomorrow, if we have a chance to meet again in the next few days." Leave me a contact information. β
Zhou Datong was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't say that he had to stay now, so he said: "Let Cheng Shao pull a group for us, and I'll add you to WeChat when I go back." β
Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "That's a solution." Cheng Yu, go back and pull a group, Xiao Zhou entertained well tonight. β
Cheng Yu also nodded and agreed.
After such a distraction, Cheng Yu didn't bother to ask Zhou Datong about something, and went back to the house with Xiao Zhang.
fell asleep separately, and then at six o'clock in the morning, they were woken up by Xu Wanting and the people in the program team knocking on the doors one by one.
Mr. Carpenter arrived in the middle of the night, and slept for a while, but he was sleepy and obviously hadn't slept enough.
Qin Manyuan also arrived, but when she arrived, it was already past five o'clock in the morning, and after washing up, she sat there and waited for breakfast.
When Cheng Yu asked her, she said that she slept on the plane for a while, and she also slept for a while in the car that came, and she must not have slept enough, but she was not necessarily worse than Mr. Carpenter.
Under the arrangement of Xu Wanting and the program team, everyone began to record the show according to the script.
The recording of the show did not go smoothly, because it was necessary to show that everyone was placed in various corners of a city at the moment, and everyone did not know that everyone else was actually in the city.
Cheng Yu is okay, he is also impressive, whether it is the behavior of slamming the door or the program itself, it has gone relatively smoothly.
This also has something to do with the fact that he got the script early and really studied it several times.
Although others also got the script in advance, they basically glanced at it in a hurry and didn't pay too much attention.
So, during the recording process, there are more mistakes.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, everyone began to gradually enter the state, and when the work was finally finished, although it did not meet expectations, the materials could barely meet the original requirements.
Of course, this needs to wait until the rough cut out to find out where there are any mistakes and omissions, and some lens additions may be required.
After a simple meal in the evening, Mr. Carpenter and Qin Manyuan originally wanted to rest early to catch up on sleep, but Xu Wanting said that there were still some night shots that needed to be filmed, so everyone could only huddle together and chat.
At more than eight o'clock, Xu Wanting finally started the recording of the night shot, first finished filming Mr. Carpenter and Qin Manyuan, let them rest early, and then slowly filmed Cheng Yu and others.
After all the shooting, it was the second half of the night, and everyone naturally slept separately.
After filming for two days in a row, after the recording of the whole show ended, everyone was finally relieved after getting the basic affirmation of the program team and saying that most of the shots were fine.
