"Aguang, Adi said she will go back tomorrow and hasn't gone out for a meal with us yet. What do you think?"
At noon that day, my mother called the man working in the shop. Boss light. The boss just thought about it and replied: "She is right. We haven't invited her out for dinner yet. Let's go to Nanhai Famous City for dinner tonight. Then I will Pay the bill."
Of course Mom had no objection, and the matter was settled. After the mother hung up the phone, she notified the other members of the Kang family one by one. In the evening, everyone in the Kang family came to the private room reserved by the boss one after another. They saw a young man following Adi, but no one paid much attention to it.
"A Guang, look at what Aunt Kang Bokang likes to eat, and just order it." After everyone gathered, A Di said to the boss Guang. The second sister-in-law raised her hand and said, "Let my husband order it. He's going to fight." After saying that, she whispered in the second brother's ear: "Hurry up, lest she click on something expensive. Then you'll have to worry about it." It’s really a big loss to pay the bill.”
The second guy nodded and shouted to the familiar waiter: “Aying, come and order.” After the waiter came over, he asked about today’s meal. The eggs were fresh and not fresh. After receiving the other party's affirmative answer, the second man ordered: "Then scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, steamed water eggs, five-leaf bombs, leek eggs, dried radish fried eggs, tomato scrambled eggs, more for each person." Only poached eggs.”
"Shi Qi!" The second sister-in-law said angrily when she saw the second brother ordering seven dishes. Cantonese people are very taboo about ordering seven dishes when treating guests to dinner. This is called Shi Qi and is only served during funerals. Seven dishes. The second sister-in-law turned to the waiter and said, "Add another salted egg steamed meat patty."
The eight dishes were just right, but the problem was that they were all filled with eggs. Adi had no choice but to wave the waiter to her side. She looked at the ordered dishes and smiled: "Wow, they are all eggs? Why are you so frugal?"
"Just enough to eat." La." The second guy said.
"Adi, our consumption level is like this." Lao Dou also thought that the big boss would foot the bill, so he explained along with him. The young man who was following Adi shook his head and said with a smile: "Today our boss invites you to dinner. Let's all have a good meal. You're welcome."
"What? You boss? You boss Why did you invite us to dinner?" Boss Guang asked in confusion. He always thought that this was A Di's fellow villager, because A Di said when she came to Kang's house on the first day that she came with her fellow villager.
The young man stood up, pointed at A Di and smiled: "Sister Di is our boss."
"A Di is your boss?" The boss was shocked. He remembered a phone call he had received before. Asked: "Were you the one who called our house that day looking for the boss?"
"Yes." The young man nodded.
Adi smiled and said a little apologetically: "I'm really sorry for bothering you these days. I'll go back tomorrow, so I'll treat you all to a light meal tonight. No need to talk to you. I'm being polite." She picked up the menu and started ordering again.
After ordering several hard dishes, she asked: "Do you prefer the lobster baked with cheese or sashimi?"
When someone invited me to dinner, the second sister-in-law and Azu were not polite and said that it would be best if they had the same meal. Adi didn't mind either and asked the waiter to place an order for the same one without blinking an eye.
As if Gangguang hadn't reacted yet, he said: "Adi, you are so poor in the countryside, why are you embarrassed to spend so much money?"
Adi suddenly laughed. , laughing so hard that he can’t even see his teeth. The young man next to her introduced: "Brother Guang, the government lost a lot of money when the highway was built through our place a few years ago. Later, the boss used that money to make us rich, and now we have many small businesses there. Life has gotten a lot better.”
That’s it, everyone understands now. After Adi smiled, she took out an envelope from her handbag and said to the boss Guang: "By the way, Aguang, I have one more thing to settle with you. I know this is your affection, but we My life is much better than yours, and my husband has passed away and I don’t need the money anymore, so you should take it back and use it yourself.” Suddenly, it turns out that what A-Di said she wanted to settle was the two thousand yuan that A-Guang sent her. Now A-Di has returned it intact to the boss Guang. Boss Guang accepted the envelope with an embarrassed look on his face, and then pretended to be cheerful and invited everyone to eat.
After returning to Kang's house, they each returned to their rooms. Zhu Wanling said with emotion while changing clothes: "I really didn't expect Sister Di to be so rich. Before, my eldest sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law were worried that she was here to eat and drink." Kang Qirui shook his head and said, "It's understandable. , If Sister Di repays the money on the first day she comes, everyone will not misunderstand."
As mentioned before, Kang Qirui can understand the thoughts of Xianglan and the second sister-in-law. If you were to lend money to a friend for medical treatment, and the friend is not sick and does not need the money for medical treatment, but the friend never talks about repaying the money, but just insists on going here to buy that, everyone will feel something strange. idea.
During this period, Kang Qirui has been busy recording the first stage of "Taste of the Three Kingdoms" and has to go back to school. It can be said that he is extremely busy. On this day, the recording of the last phase of the first phase was finally completed. After the recording, the people from CCTV had to rush back to Beijing for the afternoon flight, and they didn't even have time to eat the celebration banquet.
The celebration party has been cancelled. Tomorrow is the weekend again. Kang Qirui originally planned to take a good rest, but as soon as he returned to Kang's house, the writer came to ask for help. Just listen to him say: "Isn't it National Day next week? Our editor-in-chief insists on asking me to write a special report on the Eight Scenes of Yangcheng. What do you think is the connection between the Eight Scenes of Yangcheng and National Day? The most important thing is that I, Lian Guangfu I’m not familiar with the geography of Yangcheng, so what should I write about the Eight Scenic Spots of Yangcheng?” “Last night, the wild model fooled me and said that the Eight Scenic Spots of Yangcheng were the eight sceneries in Wuyang New Town. I went to Wuyang New Town early this morning, and then Only then did I realize that she was fooling me.”
Kang Qirui listened for a long time, but all he heard was the writer complaining. He waved his hand to interrupt the writer and asked: "So you came here to ask me what the Eight Scenes of Yangcheng are, right?" If you are tired after a long day, you don't want to continue to listen to the writer's rants.
The writer nodded, "Yes, yes, Professor Kang. I came here specifically to ask you what the Eight Scenic Spots of Yangcheng are." In this year, computers, the Internet, and search engines have not yet become popular. Most of them Most people lack effective channels to obtain knowledge. They basically either check books or ask people.
Kang Qirui spoke eloquently: "Guangfu has been known as the Yangcheng City since ancient times, so the Eight Scenes of Guangzhou, as the name suggests, are the eight famous scenic spots in Guangfu. Since the Song Dynasty, the selection of the Eight Scenic Spots of Guangzhou has become a tradition and has been followed through the generations. Never stop. As you know, with the development of the times, many new attractions will be built, so the results of each selection will be very different. Of course, if you want to write about the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng, you should write down the latest selection. "Eight Scenes of Yangcheng in the New Century."
The writer listened very carefully and even took out a piece of paper to take notes. Kang Qirui took a sip of tea and continued: "The eight scenic spots in Yangcheng in the new century are: green mountains and green mountains, night charm of pearl water, new light in Yuexiu, floating silk on the Tianhe River, lingering fragrance in ancient temples, five-ringed morning light, yellow flowers and bright moon, and lotus peak to view the sea. "
The writer was confused. He scratched his head and asked: "I understand all these eight words, but what scenic spot does it refer to and where is it? "
Kang Qirui smiled and said: "Let me give you a brief introduction one by one. Yunshan Pincui refers to the Baiyun Mountain Scenic Area. Baiyun Mountain is known as 'the most famous mountain in Lingnan' and 'the most beautiful mountain in Yangcheng'. The peak of Moxing Ridge is known as the "No. 1 Peak in the South". It was not included in the selection of the Eight Scenic Spots of Yangcheng in the past dynasties. It was included in the list in other times. "
It refers to the Pearl River night view and Pearl River night tour. The 23-kilometer landscape corridor of the Pearl River is filled with thousands of lights on both sides, and the various colorful neon lights are dazzling. The famous night view of the Seine River in Paris, France, is just like this. Ah. Writer, have you been to Guangfu for several years?”
The writer shook his head and said, “I rarely go out, what about the other six?” "Where is it?"
Kang Qirui saw that dinner was almost ready, so he said briefly: "Yuexiu Xinhui refers to Yuexiu Mountain Yuexiu Park, which has always been an important tourist attraction in Guangzhou with the Wuyang Statue and Zhenhai Tower." The two landmark buildings in Guangfu are famous for their lakes and mountains, and the tranquility in the bustle. "
"Tianhe Floating Silk refers to the central axis of Guangfu's new city. The main scenery includes what is known as 'Guangzhou'. The waterscape waterfall of the East Railway Station in Huangguoshu and the CITIC Plaza, the tallest building in Guangfu, are dozens of meters higher than the Mosing Ridge in Baiyun Mountain just mentioned.”
"The ancient temple Liufang refers to the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, also known as the Chen Family Academy. It is one of the largest existing traditional Guangfu buildings. It is also the largest, best-preserved, and most exquisitely decorated ancestral-style building in my country. It is known as ' The Pearl of Lingnan Architectural Art. It is worth mentioning that this time it was selected into the Eight Scenic Spots of Yangcheng. You can write about it again when the time comes."
The writer interrupted Kang Qirui and asked. : "Why?" Kang Qirui glanced at him and said speechlessly: "Other scenic spots have been selected several times, and everyone is familiar with them. This is the first time that Chen Clan Ancestral Hall has been selected, and many people don't know much about it. So Of course I want to focus on it." The writer nodded in understanding.
Speaking of which, the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall was selected as one of the eight scenic spots in Guangzhou this time because Guangfu has developed rapidly in recent years, attracting many overseas tourists. Foreigners are very interested in the extremely rich local Lingnan characteristics of Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, so the number of tourists to Chen Clan Ancestral Hall has gradually increased. Not many people visited it before, because the traditional Chinese people in the old society were not likely to visit other people's ancestral halls.
“The Five Rings of Dawn refers to the Olympic Sports Center, which is the main venue of the Ninth National Games. It is a large-scale comprehensive sports and cultural center integrating competitive sports, mass sports, tourism, leisure and entertainment, and medical rehabilitation.”
"Huanghua Haoyue refers to the Tomb of the Seventy-Two Martyrs in Huanghuagang Park. You already know the Huanghuagang Uprising, so I don't need to introduce its significance. It is worth mentioning that although it It is called the Tomb of the Seventy-two Martyrs, but there are actually 86 martyrs. When it was first built, a total of 72 martyrs were found, and a tombstone was erected as the "Tomb of the Seventy-two Martyrs", which is why it was named Huanghua. In 1932, fourteen more martyrs were found, and a second monument was erected next to them. "
"In addition to the martyrs of the Huanghuagang Uprising, Mr. Pan Dawei, Deng Zhongyuan, Yang Xianyi, Feng Ru, Shi Jianru and other revolutionary martyrs are also buried here."
Kang Qirui was the most emotional and serious about Huanghua Haoyue, After a pause, he continued: "The last Lotus Peak Viewing Sea refers to Panyu Lianhua Mountain Scenic Area. On the top of the second peak of Lianhua Mountain is the ancient city of Lianhua that strangles the throat of Guangdong Sui. Lin Zexu once fortified it here during the Opium War. Yes. Yes, it is also the first scenic spot in Panyu to be selected, and it has special significance. You can also describe it in detail when the time comes."
When the writer saw Kang Qirui finished speaking, he closed his notebook and said gratefully: "Kang. What you told me, professor, is enough for me to finish the manuscript. In this way, after I earn the royalties, I will treat you to dinner first." Kang Qirui waved his hand and said, "There is no need for dinner, you still have to do it. Keep the money to pay the rent on time." Speaking of which, Kang Qirui can also be regarded as the writer's landlord.
"Okay, okay, that's it for today. I'm leaving first and going back to write the manuscript." The writer also knew that he often failed to pay the rent on time, so he scratched his head and smiled awkwardly before leaving. (End of chapter)
