Whether it is for Ning Weimin or Alain Delon, the subsequent impact of this drink is inestimable.
It is far more important than they each thought at the beginning.
For Alain Delon, this meal of wine not only gave him a new understanding of Chinese drinks and food, but also put away his arrogance and arrogance, and no longer dared to exaggerate or belittle easily. The food culture of this country.
And he also unlocked new fun, and fell in love with "bar clubbing" in large wine tanks, and loved to taste Chinese wines in such a harmonious environment.
He began to run to the big wine vat every two days with great pleasure. Sometimes Ning Weimin was not free, so he would come by himself.
As long as I have nothing to do, I just want to sit in the big wine tank and chat with the elderly drinkers.
So much so that his ability to use chopsticks and his Chinese proficiency went hand in hand and improved rapidly.
After only a few visits, I was able to enjoy wine, food and drinks like a Chinese.
If you didn’t look at his appearance and clothes, you might mistake him for a local wine putty in the capital.
Probably for this reason, the drinkers in the big wine tank like him very much.
After all, people these days have little knowledge.
Although meeting a foreigner on the streets of Beijing is no longer as novel as it was ten years ago, it is as fresh as meeting a golden monkey.
But "golden monkeys" who can speak Chinese and like to drink Erguotou are still rare.
So the drinkers in the big wine tank were extremely friendly and enthusiastic towards him, and they were all very curious, and everyone was willing to tease him for nothing.
In addition, Alain Delon is a star who is very friendly to movie fans and attaches great importance to his public image. He also becomes more humble as he gets older and is no longer as arrogant as he was when he was young.
He gets along very well with the elderly grassroots people in the capital, the common people who don't know him, and they can communicate easily.
The conversation usually starts by asking about his nationality.
No matter who asks, Alain Delon will tell the person with a smile that he is from France and lives in Paris.
Afterwards, people often ask, does your country have a big iron tower?
He nodded in agreement and said that the Eiffel Tower in the center of Paris is the symbol of Paris.
Then, someone may ask, is there another Arc de Triomphe?
Is Picardon also famous in your country?
You produce a car called Peugeot, right?
These inquiries are really surprising. Alain Delon has never thought about the rumored most closed country in the far east.
Even some ordinary people know France and Paris so well.
In particular, the brand Pierre Cardin is quite popular.
This inevitably made him feel more at ease and happy, thinking that it was a wise move for him to be invited to become the spokesperson of Pierre Cardon China.
Of course, there will definitely be various questions raised one after another by these people, sometimes involving privacy, which is embarrassing.
And often when we talk about a good body that everyone is interested in, several people will come together and talk so much that people are overwhelmed.
But it can be said that although for Westerners, some of the questions may be almost impolite offenses.
But Alain Delon could understand that these people had no ill intentions, only curiosity, and were not very disgusted. They were also willing to respond patiently, which made him even more popular in the big wine tank.
“How much income do people in your country have?”
“This question is difficult to answer because the income gap between everyone is huge. France has been in a bit of a recession in recent years, and many people Income has begun to decline? The government is under great pressure to face the dissatisfaction of the people and the call to boost the economy..."
"Is it true? People in developed countries still have economic problems? Government protest? ”
“It’s true”
"However, your life is still richer than ours, right? Everyone has a car and lives in a building, right?"
"Well... the welfare of our country is pretty good, I'm afraid it's like this..."
“What do people in your country eat?”
“Oh, that’s hard to say. We eat a lot of things, but we don’t have as many dishes, pasta and tofu products as here. This is a pity..."
"You quite understand. Do you like our Chinese food?"
"Of course, many like it very much. But we can't eat spicy food. We don't like MSG either..."
"Are there people with black hair in your country?"
"Yes. Everyone." There are people with different hair colors, but most of them are dark brown.”
“How tall are you?”
“One meter eight”
"That's really tall. How old are you?"
"I'm in my forties."
"Not young anymore. Do you have children?"
"Of course .”
“How much do you earn?”
"It's really hard to say, it's different every month, sometimes more and sometimes less..."
"What do you do for a living?"
"I used to make movies, but now I mainly Shooting commercials..."
"No wonder, you are a director, right? The movie industry is in slump right now, and TV has been put out of business. You should stop being so stubborn and work on TV series. Young people these days are all. I love watching it, the episodes are connected and fascinating..."
"Haha, your point of view is very interesting"
"The income is so unstable. Aren't your family worried about you? Why don't you find a more stable job? You look quite stylish, like you can be an official. How about you working in a government agency?"
"This... our country requires examinations to become civil servants, it is very strict..."
"Hey, then you don't know how to give gifts. Get some good cigarettes and wine, and then please Let’s go to the restaurant and have a good meal. I’m telling you, if you don’t want to let the child catch the wolf, you have to bleed if you want to do things, so you can’t be too stingy...”
That’s it, in a few days, I am willing to accompany you to drink. Alain Delon, who was chatting among the guests, became famous in the big wine vat.
Even if many people have never seen it, they know from others that the big wine tank has a foreign friend.
This also further stimulated the prosperity of the large wine vat business.
Not to mention that many old drinkers are interested in meeting and chatting with this foreigner. Even those who heard the news through hearsay wanted to join in the fun.
In addition, Alain Delon also bought a lot of wine that he thought was very unique from the large wine tank to fill his personal private wine store.
Such as papaya dew, date wine, mango wine, green plum wine, rose dew, osmanthus, waxy magnolia wine... they are all not found in the Western world.
Unexpectedly, this also attracted Catherine Deneuve to follow her into the trap. As she drank, she also fell in love with rose water and wax magnolia wine. And he became interested in the large wine vat that Alain Delon described, and he wanted to go there without making a fuss.
But the problem is that there are many things that women cannot get involved in. If they get involved, something will happen.
Alain Delon should not have brought this Catherine Deneuve to join in the fun.
Don't be too confident, thinking that you are familiar with the situation, take the decision on your own and take the person away without calling Ning Weimin.
You know, when did the foreign woman come to the big wine vat in Beijing?
And she is such a well-groomed, gorgeous blond girl?
However, the big wine tank does not have a single room. It is a purely public consumption place. As soon as Catherine sat inside, she could see it from outside.
On this street, everyone, whether they are small traders or hawkers, people passing by, people who live here, or anyone passing by the big wine vat, has to stop and look inside.
After a while, the big wine tank was full.
That’s not all, because it was not only the elderly who were watching the fun, but also people soon recognized Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve.
Then think about it, can you still calm down?
Movie fans these days are so persistent and pure.
Coupled with Alain Delon's chivalrous demeanor and Deneuve's beauty, they are so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As a result, the situation suddenly got out of control and was completely messed up.
Whether they were spectators or movie fans who came after hearing the news, not only did they not stop, but the number even doubled.
After a while, the business of the big wine vat was no longer possible. The three floors inside and outside the shop were full of people.
Those who hurriedly squeezed in, wanting to see the style of international movie stars with their own eyes, almost broke the threshold.
And because there are too many people, if someone stirs, something will be thrown out, and there is a constant sound of cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground.
At this point, even shutting down and listing on the stock market is no longer an option.
Not to mention that Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve were already in a state of confusion and dumbfounded, even Kang Shude and Zhang Dashao were completely caught off guard and were stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, Kang Shude was quick-witted. After he woke up, he quickly let Fang Bin climb out of the kitchen window and go to the street to find Director Li to move reinforcements.
The second is to quickly persuade the two French celebrities to go into the kitchen and take shelter for a while to avoid accidents and hurt them.
As for the things in the store, I don’t care about them, I can only let nature take its course.
In short, the commotion was so big that it even caused a traffic jam in Yangmeishu Xiejie and attracted reporters from the "Beijing Evening News".
When we got to the street, Director Li and the police from the police station came to clear the flow of people. It took nearly half an hour to persuade the idle people watching the movie stars to leave.
As for the big wine vat, it was famous, but the losses were really not small.
Not to mention that the day's turnover was ruined, a lot of things were smashed, and some people took advantage of the situation to rob and steal.
For example, the wine jars, wine grapes, silver spoons, cups, plates, bowls and chopsticks are all missing in the store. The money box in the cabinet is also empty. Some people even put the cold dishes on the table into their big blue and white plates. Taken away together.
What distressed Kang Shude the most was that the mahogany abacus he was used to was gone.
It is conceivable that of course such a large wine tank cannot be opened anymore. It will at least take a few days to repair and get everything together.
Moreover, this matter must be reported to the street and the police station, and the company must be punished by the industrial and commercial department.
Who asked you to receive foreign guests privately?
Does your store have that qualification?
So there is nothing to say, Ning Weimin is not in a good place either.
Although he was completely unaware, as the instigator, he did not delay Kang Shude from finding him to settle accounts.
In the end, not only all the losses in the store had to be made up for by him.
And he had to stand at attention, receive a scolding from Kang Shude, and let his master complain.
"Look at the trouble your kid has caused for us! Who did we brothers provoke whom? We kindly helped you, but ended up in this situation! Are we unjust? What if? Next time! No! Just tell those two foreigners, don’t come here again! Do you hear me?”
But even so, Ning Weimin did not feel aggrieved or dissatisfied at all.
On the contrary, he kept nodding his head, respecting his teacher to the extreme.
"Hey, yes, you keep calming down, you have the final say, you are the master..."
"It's all my fault, not mine. I will tell them later that I won't let them come again!" You are blaming me. No matter what, I will keep this in mind, and I will always be grateful to you..."
"I should also pay for your and Master Zhang's losses. Yes, what else is there to say? Double compensation is deserved..."
But if we look at it realistically, it’s not really about how high the moral standards of Ning Weimin are. He hated his mistakes and felt ashamed for having implicated the two old men.
The key is not to be too early if there is no benefit.
No, after all the good things were said, Ning Weimin began to show his true feelings once again as Kang Shude's anger subsided.
"Master, Master Zhang is not angry with me because of this, is he? Do you want me to come and apologize?"
"That's not necessary. Master Zhang is generous, and I have taught you a lesson. That's enough..."
"That's not good, after all, this happened because of me, and I always feel that I can't live with it. You are my master and we can talk about it, but Master Zhang is innocent. I'm sorry. In this case, you can come with Master Zhang every day and give me some ideas."
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Attentive..."
"Oh, look at what you said, don't I just want to know how Master Zhang made the chicken? What kind of chicken did he use..."
"Hey, it's not like you don't know what Master Zhang is like? Why do you have to go so far for such a trivial matter? Just ask him directly. With the relationship between Master Zhang and us, he won't tell you." ...I also want to ask about the recipe for the royal wine. It is a secret recipe from the palace that has been almost lost. I want to speak, but... I'm a little afraid of violating Master Zhang's taboo. What if Master Zhang is angry..."
"No. I also tell you that Master Zhang has a straight temper, so you have to show it clearly. As long as you are upright, others will not keep you from stepping down. But you must not mutter to yourself. The more you try to do what you want and make sneaky little moves, the more you will be ruined. Did you hear that? Furthermore, to be honest, Master Zhang has not taught you enough dishes? Without Master Zhang, would your palace have achieved the current climate? "
"Yes, yes, that is. But Master, I’ve received too many favors, and I don’t feel at ease, right? Yes, Master Zhang is generous, but after receiving such a great favor from others, we can't always pretend to be stupid or take it seriously. Precisely because I have benefited a lot, I thought I should give Master Zhang the due reward this time. And you may not have understood yet, but these royal wines are truly exclusive secret recipes, just like the grapes used to make grapes and the Yunnan Baiyao used to seal blood. I'm going to finish it and open a factory with the royal brand. With Tan Palace backing me up, I might be able to feed my children and grandchildren for a few lifetimes. This is an exclusive sale, an absolute dominating business. Let me tell you this, I have to pay 100,000 yuan for each prescription, so I am taking advantage of it. God knows how Master Zhang got it. But if I just ask Master Zhang for money, Master Zhang’s temper..."
As soon as he said this, Kang Shude's expression gradually changed.
He saw that Ning Weimin was not joking, and he had to consider it carefully.
After being silent for a long time, the old man sighed.
He felt sincerely, "You kid should be honest when you should be honest, and be happy when you should be happy. What you said is decent, and what you think is reasonable. However, Master Zhang's situation is quite special. , what he cares about is definitely not money. Logically speaking, I am the only one who tells his story. I don’t want to talk behind my back, but you are my disciple. You have good intentions and don’t want to. Let Master Zhang suffer a loss. Since the store is closed, I will tell you what to do if I have time today. Whether this matter succeeds or not is entirely up to you..." br>
"Okay, let's just settle for this. We can take a bath again. After we take a bath, I invite you to come east..."
"No, it's still a little hot. It's early to eat hot-boiled mutton. Wonton buns will do..."
Just like that, the master and apprentice went to the washing basin of Tsinghua Garden in Wangfujing again.
Then in the mist of hot water, Kang Shude told Ning Weimin about Zhang Dashao’s past.
