Chapter 1221 Reception Dinner
Among the people Lin Quan comes into contact with, it's not that they don't pay attention to their appetites, but they shouldn't be like Dr. Ma, who doesn't care at all about the other people at the table and only cares about how well he eats.
In just this short period of time, Lin Quan felt that all the filters he had towards Dr. Ma had been shattered.
Originally, after what happened with Ma Chao just now, Lin Quan didn't want to be in a relationship with Dr. Ma.
Now seeing Dr. Ma eating without caring about others, his greedy look was so blinding that Lin Quan wished he could break up with her immediately.
Lin Quan began to reflect on herself, whether she didn't have deep feelings for Dr. Ma, so she said so easily that she would not continue to have a relationship with him.
If Xu Wanning could understand Lin Quan's inner activities, she would definitely tell Lin Quan that her feelings for Dr. Ma were not so-called love, but that someone who was suitable for her appeared at the right time.
This kind of suitability has nothing to do with whether you like him or not, that's why Lin Quan said that he didn't want to be with someone else.
And if Dr. Ma did something that was unacceptable to Lin Quan, she would naturally deduct points for this appropriate level.
Dr. Ma finished eating the cantaloupe and ate a few pieces of watermelon. He felt the sweet taste in his mouth and was enjoying it when he noticed Lin Quan opposite him looking at him incomprehensibly.
Looking at Lin An again, his expression was still calm, but this unwavering look in his eyes was even more unacceptable to Dr. Ma, as if he was just a clown.
No, to be more precise, he is like a country boy who has never seen the big world and is being despised by the city people.
But unfortunately, he grew up in the city. Although his hometown is not as big as Beijing, it is still the capital city of Hebei Province.
Lin Quan and his family are all farmers. If they hadn't been admitted to college, they would still be digging in the fields. Why should they look down on him?
Doctor Ma was thinking this to embolden himself, but he still showed an embarrassed and guilty smile: "I'm so sorry, this is my first time eating cantaloupe. I didn't expect it to be so delicious, so I didn't stop eating it. , I made you laugh."
Lin Quan felt very strange.
It was obvious that her filter on Dr. Ma had been shattered just now, but now, when she saw Dr. Ma talking openly and generously about how she had eaten cantaloupe for the first time, she felt that this kind of Dr. Ma was very real.
Lin An said in a calm tone: "Then let's have another fruit plate. This time I only want cantaloupe."
Doctor Ma waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'm very satisfied after eating a few pieces."
This meal is likely to cost him. Pay the price, thirty-eight yuan for a fruit plate, which contains only a little bit of cantaloupe.
If they all had to be cantaloupe, how much would it cost?
He may not be able to afford it even with a month's salary.
Seeing Dr. Ma's refusal, Lin An stopped talking. At the dinner table, the only sound that could be heard was Ma Chao biting the apple.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
At this time, in Boss Sun’s office.
Xu Wanning looked at the menu that Boss Sun had just drawn up and kept shaking her head.
"This won't work. The Japanese people are wild pigs and can't eat fine bran. If we entertain them according to our Chinese state banquet standards, they may think that we have made a concerted effort to give them a good meal and let them enjoy the delicious food. He might be laughing at us in his heart."
"Wan Ning, what do we do now?"
Boss Sun received a notice two days ago that China was going to sign a nationwide agreement with Japan.
This agreement was led by Japan, so people from the Japanese government had to come to China.
According to Chinese etiquette, when guests come, you always treat them to dinner, right?
This heavy burden falls on Quan Fulou.
After all, looking at the entire country of China, there is no restaurant more suitable for hosting foreign guests than Quanfu Restaurant.
Even Xujiapu Restaurant, which has a good reputation in Beijing, cannot compare.
Xu Wanning knew this well.
She will not be jealous, on the contrary, she will try her best to give Quan Fulou advice.
Boss Sun can be regarded as a person who has seen the world. He has received many foreign guests, including Japanese people who also came to Quanfu Tower for dinner.
However, the nature of this time is different. They are senior officials of the Japanese government. If the food is not good enough, it will not be the people of Quan Fulou and Boss Sun, but the entire Chinese people.
So Boss Sun was helpless and could only find Xu Wanning to help.
For some reason, Boss Sun had a feeling that Xu Wanning must have a way to solve this problem that had been bothering him for a long time.
And Xu Wanning did not disappoint Boss Sun. In just a few words, she had already found a solution.
"Although the overall economy of Japan is slightly stronger than that of China, I have to say that when it comes to food, they really...can't do anything about it."
Xu Wanning had read many reports about Japan's food in her previous life.
One of the thinnest people in the world is definitely the Japanese.
It is said that Japanese people eat supper and drink in the evening, and two chuaner can sit there all night.
The most famous food of Japan is sashimi, salmon and so on.
It is too easy to make a better diet than them.
But as Xu Wanning said just now, because of a big movement a few years ago, China's economy not only failed to improve, but instead regressed for many years. Reform and opening up happened in the past two years. After all, it was a small number of people who got rich first. .
Under such circumstances, the Japanese looked down upon the Chinese at all.
If Quanfulou prepares the reception meal according to the highest standards, the Japanese people will smile on the surface, but they may not know how to laugh in their hearts. They may also think that this is a nationwide effort to collect the best things and feed them to their delegation. .
Didn't they lose all their face?
As a patriot, how could Xu Wanning tolerate such a situation?
"Brother Sun, I have learned a little bit about Japanese food before. Their staple food is usually ramen, such as tonkotsu ramen, udon noodles, mashed potatoes, salmon salad, vegetable salad, etc. It looks exquisite, but in fact the taste is not so good. That's it."
"It's really far behind our Chinese food. What I mean is, we can make some authentic Chinese dishes compared to the Japanese food. How can we make such a comparison? Doesn’t it highlight the heritage of our great country, China?”
It is true that China's current economy is indeed not as good as that of Japan.
But how small is the land area of Japan? There is no comparison with China.
It is not easy to show off in front of Japanese people.
But this show off must also be done skillfully.
At least it can't be as showy as Boss Sun originally planned.
