After Cao Zhiqiang walked in with a plate, Cao Jiajia and Zhao Meifen immediately stopped talking.

Cao Zhiqiang, on the other hand, walked over with a smile on his face and put the plate on the coffee table.

As soon as the plate came up, Cao Jiajia's eyes immediately widened, staring at the silver plate and tableware and said, "Zhiqiang, this, this is not real silver, right?" ”

"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and didn't understand for a while, "What do you mean?" ”

"I'm talking about this plate, and the guys on it!" Cao Jiajia pointed to the silver plate, "Is this pure silver?" ”

"Yes, sterling silver." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

"Oh, it's true!" Cao Jiajia touched the plate happily, "Silver plate, silver cup, silver bowl and silver spoon, how much does this set cost?" ”

"I don't know." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head.

Indeed, this is Cao Zhiqiang's previous sign-in reward, I only know that the workmanship is exquisite, it is made of thousand-foot silver, and the origin is Italy, but I really don't know what the specific price is.

There are not only silver plates and silver bowls, but also all kinds of silver knives and forks, which are a complete set of tableware, of course, including afternoon tea and coffee utensils.

Cao Zhiqiang has always been lazy.

Now that he has this kind of sign-in tableware, he doesn't buy anything else, and the silverware is really cool to use.

So usually his own household bowls, plates, etc., except for chopsticks, are all silver, and they are European-style.

This time, the plates, coffee pots, coffee cups, etc., he brought were also of sterling silver, and the workmanship was exquisite, and at first glance it was high-end.

"Don't know? Such a good thing, how could you not know the price? Cao Jiajia didn't believe it.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "I really don't know, this is a gift from a foreign friend of mine, so I really don't know the specific price." ”

Well, Cao Zhiqiang has already made up his mind, so he will let Masashi Sada, who has temporarily returned to Japan, take the blame.

After all, this set of things used by Cao Zhiqiang is really difficult to find in China, and it is really hard to say if it is more true to trace the source.

"A foreign friend sent you?" Cao Jiajia was stunned, "How is it possible?" What foreign friend would give you such a valuable gift? ”

"It's a Japanese friend of mine." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "He is a rich second generation, not bad for money, and I have a good relationship with him, so he gave me this, by the way, Qinghong also knows him, and he has eaten here." ”

As soon as she heard that Qinghong also knew her, Cao Jiajia didn't ask any more, but just touched the plate and said in surprise: "Oh, this thing is expensive, you should put it up, it's too wasteful to use it as tableware." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled again: "This is originally tableware, no matter how valuable the material is, even if it is golden, it is also tableware!" If I put this on the table and offer it, am I putting the cart before the horse? ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang didn't want to continue to talk about this topic, and said directly: "Okay sister, don't mention the tableware or not the tableware, if you continue to talk to me, this coffee will be cold, and it won't taste good." ”

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang pointed to three cups of steaming coffee and said to Zhao Meifen: "Auntie, this is the coffee you want."

However, because I don't know how much milk you want to add and how much sugar you want to put in, the coffee in this cup is all plain coffee, that is, only pure coffee, and nothing else. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang pointed to a delicate silver kettle with a sharp mouth in the tray, and the white sugar in a small silver bowl next to it: "This pot is filled with pure milk, and the plate is filled with granulated sugar, you can add as much as you want." ”

After smiling, Cao Zhiqiang pointed to a few plates of pastries prepared in advance on the coffee table: "In addition, there are dim sums here, if you feel a little heartburn when drinking coffee, you can eat dim sum to slow down." ”

After the introduction, Cao Zhiqiang smiled again and waved his hand: "Please, you're welcome." ”

"Oh, coffee." Cao Jiajia was the first to answer with a smile, "This is a foreign thing, then I'm not welcome." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Jiajia picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip gently.

But soon, Cao Jiajia frowned, and hurriedly put down the coffee cup: "Phew! What does it smell like? It's bitter and sour, and it's hard to drink! ”

After speaking, Cao Jiajia hurriedly picked up the half bottle of Arctic Ocean soda next to her, directly faced the bottle, and drank it all.

After drinking all the soda, Cao Jiajia shook her head: "It's much better now." ”

Zhao Meifen smiled beside her: "Pure coffee is bitter with a little sour."

However, didn't your brother say that there is milk and sugar next to it, if you can't stand the bitterness of the original taste, you can add sugar and milk. ”

Cao Jiajia was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Meifen and said, "Yes, I forgot that you are from Shanghai, you must have drunk coffee before, right?" ”

Zhao Meifen nodded: "Before I went to Guizhou, I did drink it, but it was a long time ago." ”

"Then you're everyone's best girl." Cao Jiajia smiled and shook her head, "I was born in hardship, since I was a child, this is the first time I drink coffee."

By the way, since you know this, why don't you give a show? ”

Zhao Meifen smiled, took the initiative to take Cao Jiajia's cup of coffee, then added half a cup of milk and two spoons of white sugar.

After stirring it for a while, Zhao Meifen said to Cao Jiajia: "Now let's taste it again, it shouldn't be bitter." ”

Cao Jiajia put down the glass, picked up the cup of coffee again, and tasted it carefully.

After clicking her lips, Cao Jiajia nodded: "It's a little interesting at this time, but the taste is still a little weird." ”

Zhao Meifen said with a smile: "The first time you drink it, it is inevitable, just get used to it." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Meifen also picked up her cup of coffee, but didn't add anything, but looked at the coffee cup.

"This workmanship, this carving ......" Zhao Meifen frowned, "This is the craft of Europe, right?" ”

"Auntie, you have a good eye." Cao Zhiqiang immediately praised with a smile, "I heard my friend say that this is a handmade product made in Florence, Italy." ”

"That's pretty good." Zhao Meifen nodded, "Your friend has made a lot of money." ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Meifen didn't say anything else, picked it up and sniffed it first, and then slowly took a sip.

After a long time, Zhao Meifen nodded: "This coffee is also good, the bitterness is moderate, mellow and sweet, it is a first-class product, Xiao Cao, you are attentive." ”

"Where?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "This is instant coffee, it was also given by a friend, I don't know the specifics, you just like it." ”

"Then your friend is really good to you." Zhao Meifen smiled slightly, "It's not easy to afford coffee at this time, let alone this kind of high-quality coffee, it's even more difficult." ”

Cao Zhiqiang smiled, stopped talking, added milk and sugar to his cup of coffee, and then took a sip slowly.

What can he say, could it be that the coffee you drink is the real Geisha coffee?

Just kidding, I don't dare to say it in China at this time, but if you want to talk about the capital, I'm afraid there is no authentic Geisha coffee at this time.

Not to mention, the water used to make coffee is not ordinary, it is authentic Fijian water, which is also rare in China.

It's a pity, things are good things, but you can only know yourself, and you have to pretend not to know to the outside world, otherwise, it's really hard to say where it came from.

But that's fine, removing the origin filter, which goes back to the basic functionality of these things.

It's just coffee, it's good enough, it doesn't matter where you make it.

Well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang has already prepared these things, and he has already brought them.

After all, no matter how good the coffee is, it is also instant coffee, as long as you take the hot water prepared in advance in the space, you can brew it, and the speed is very fast.

As for milk and sugar, they are also ready-made.

So, he only needs to go to the kitchen to pretend to make coffee, then brew the coffee with hot water, and then put the milk and sugar into the tray and bring it over, and it's OK.

The reason why it took so long to come was because Cao Zhiqiang had been listening to the wall outside the door for a while.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang didn't listen on purpose, but his movements were too fast, and Cao Jiajia didn't lower his voice when he talked to Zhao Meifen before, so he heard it on the way over.

Now that he heard it, out of politeness, he can't rush in when what people say is right, right?

I could only stand quietly outside, and when what they said was almost over, I deliberately stepped in with a heavy foot.

However, it was precisely because of this that he understood why Zhao Meifen kept pulling her face and didn't talk much after seeing her.

It turned out that she didn't abduct Qinghong because she didn't say goodbye, or rather, this was not the main reason.

The main reason is that she found that Cao Zhiqiang was too rich, so she was worried that his money was coming from the wrong way, and by the way, she was worried that Qinghong would suffer.

But too.

Since Qinghong's mother and Cao Jiajia are colleagues and came together, it is estimated that Qinghong's mother inquired about the situation of the Cao family a long time ago.

After knowing that the Cao family was born poor, not a rich family, and not a high-ranking cadre's family, it was impossible not to mutter.

After all, this is 83 years, and the reform has only begun, and most people may have different statuses, but if you want to talk about the wealth gap, it is really not big.

In particular, when Cao Zhiqiang went to Qinghong's house before, he still went as an employee of a state-owned enterprise, which locked up his income even more.

Since the Cao family was born poor, Cao Zhiqiang's education is not high, and he is still a worker, so where does his current wealth come from?

However, when Cao Zhiqiang went over, he never mentioned how he made money.

Therefore, don't say that Zhao Meifen is muttering, even Cao Jiajia, who is a sister, is also muttering in her heart.

It is precisely because of this that Cao Jiajia brought Zhao Meifen to come first, but Xia Siming did not come with him, just in case.

Otherwise, Xia Siming really believes in Cao Zhiqiang's ability, and is really determined to put down everything and go to Beiping, so why should he go separately?

After all, as Cao Zhiqiang said before, the matter of relationship transfer is really difficult for ordinary people.

But for the leaders of the capital who have a high status and status, if they want to transfer a relationship, it is actually a matter of a few words.

Even if Xia Siming's original unit really refuses to let him go, as long as there is a unit in the capital that is willing to accept it, he can still re-establish the file here, which is not a problem.

Seven or eight years later, many of the children of high-ranking cadres who went to the mountains and went to the countryside and later secretly returned to the city by themselves were actually re-established in the city.

So many people have done it, not less than Xia Siming.

Of course, it's not easy to re-file, you have to have a serious unit to accept you.

Cao Zhiqiang happens to have this ability now.

Not to mention anything else, Cao Zhiqiang's Red Light Publishing House can accept Xia Siming seriously.

As a state-owned unit, Hongguang Publishing House can not only accept Xia Siming, but also use the name of Hongguang Publishing House to apply for Xia Siming to re-establish a personal file.

Re-filing is not directly related to the hukou, but if you want to apply for a hukou in Beijing, you must first have your file here, which is a sequential relationship.

But there must be a premise, that is, you have to have a big relationship, a very hard big relationship, otherwise you can't do this.

In the final analysis, it was Xia Siming and Cao Jiajia, the couple, who were suspicious of Cao Zhiqiang's situation, suspecting that he was talking big and couldn't really do what he said at the beginning, so they used this cautious method.

Let Cao Jiajia find out first, at least there is no way out from the beginning.

And bring the kids...... Most likely, it is to dispel their doubts.

So it's a thousand things and ten thousand, or my sister and brother-in-law don't trust me very much, and I'm afraid of bragging.

But that's normal.

If the brother-in-law's family is really said a few words by a so-called brother who suddenly came to the door, and they give up everything in the local area regardless of it, then there is a problem with IQ.

At that time, he believed in himself very much, did not question too much, and may have just given himself face.

After understanding this, Cao Zhiqiang's heart was also embarrassed at this time.

Sure enough, the water spilled by the married woman.

Even if Cao Jiajia and herself are blood related sisters and brothers, they have been separated from each other for more than ten years, and the relationship has long faded.

You see, my mother is gone, and after Cao Jiajia came back, she didn't say that she was in a hurry to go back to worship her mother first, but she came to test herself first.

That's telling.

It can be seen from this that once something happens, Cao Jiajia is still more towards her husband and children than his younger brother Cao Zhiqiang.

In comparison, once he really marries Qinghong, maybe this Qinghong's mother has a closer relationship with herself than she has with this sister.

Because at that time, she will be her son-in-law, and she will be her mother-in-law.

A son-in-law and a half-son.

So in most cases, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law is much closer than the relationship between the sister and the brother.

That's human nature!
