62 Parks, Western Food, and Uninvited Guests (2)

    After taking the seat, Yali's father was talking alone. His name is rare for people at that age. Most of his peers are Jianguo Jianjun Weidong Weinan and the like, but his single name is a "different" character.

    "Their Captain Qin's father," Yali's father introduced to the girls, with a very magnetic voice, "I was the company commander when I fought in Vietnam. Old Qin took good care of me, just like the relationship between Yang Lei and Liu team now. It’s been almost thirty years, and those monkeys still refuse to be honest today. I can’t go there anymore, but if the country wants to teach monkeys again, I will definitely let Yang Lei go to the battlefield."

    "Now teach the monkey," Liu Yi said, "I am afraid it will not be our turn to play."

    "That's right, the conditions are good now. In fact, it was okay back then. We have cannons, and there is no shortage of all kinds of supplies. But when our country fought for the first time, the frontline fighters had enough food," he jerked. He patted his head, "Look at what I'm talking about. Come on, everyone, don't listen to my bad old man's nonsense. The cook at home can't do anything decent, Team Liu, and you two, bear with me. "

    If only his father can get rid of this overly modest problem. On the first plate, the vegetable salad and fried prawn salad, foie gras, baked snails, raw beef, dozens of things are presented in small dishes, so delicate that people can't bear to do it. Lu Fei and Tao Ying were sitting in distress, nervously not knowing what to do.

    "Do you hold the fork in your left hand or your right?" Lu Fei asked secretly.

    "It's okay, do what you like," Yali's father is unlikely to hear her whispered question, but he guessed it, understanding, "Which country is the most observant of western food etiquette in the world? It is our celestial people. In fact, as long as It’s comfortable to eat. Don’t hinder others. There are so many rules. When I went to France, the local boss invited me to have a three-Michelin-starred meal. The waiter asked me if I wanted chopsticks."

    His words worked immediately. They picked up their knives and forks and started to deal with the food on the table stiffly. Although the smell and color of those things were alluring, Lu Fei was very restrained and only tasted the lettuce leaves. Tao Ying had no worries in this regard, letting go of her belly and feasting on every dish.

    "Speaking of which, why didn't you see Auntie?" Liu Yi asked when Tang brought it up.

    "I heard that Yang Lei and her friends were eating at home today. She was going to come back," said Yang's father. "But the flock of birds on the side of the Yaodu affected the flight and missed it."

    Recently, it seems that large-scale migration of birds has increased, and there have been speculations on the Internet, and Liu Yi has seen a lot. Experts say there is no problem. The climate and location are stable, and there will be no volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, or global climate change.

    Liu Yi observed his words and expressions. It was a pity that Yali's mother hadn't seen Tao Ying, but his father was very satisfied with his son's girlfriend and estimated that this matter would not change again.

    Serve with the side dishes. As mentioned before, the old man of the Yali family is a person who doesn’t care about red tape, so their side dishes are also full of traditional Chinese style. There are more than half of the table, which can fill twice the belly of a person, including Tao Ying’s name. Fried chicken and french fries.

    The two girls didn't know anything about the entire meal process. Lu Fei was okay, but Tao Ying couldn't eat it soon. "There are so many dishes," she burped softly, "Don't serve it anymore, I'm already very full, just eat an ice cream."

    "How is it possible?" Yali said, "The main course hasn't been served yet. Don't you want steak and burgers?"

    Tao Ying looked at the table full of dishes, and then at the Yali: "This... can you pack it?"

    "That's another matter. Today was original to entertain you specially," Yali persuaded, "It doesn't matter if you indulge once in a while, just eat it. Otherwise, you won't touch things when they come up, not just waste food, Mr. Chef will I think you look down on him and blame it."

    "But I really can't eat it anymore," Tao Ying wanted to cry without tears, "I didn't mean it."

    "Don't listen to Yang Lei talking nonsense," Mr. Yang relieved her at the right time, "He is teasing you. You are not a luxury waste, but you have never eaten Western food and don't know the process. No one will blame you. If you can't eat it, just put it. On the one hand, when you feel bored, go out and stroll, without having to accompany this old man like me."

    "It's nothing," Tao Ying shook her head like a rabbit with her neck picked up, "I want to hear more of your story," she raised the cup of orange juice, "Although it is not wine, I wish you good health, Life is happy."

    Papa Yali was obviously in a very good mood. He toasted and drank: "It's already very good, and it will be more satisfying when I come down." Then he poured himself a full glass, not Lafite in 1982, but Looking at the color and hanging cup, Liu Yi knew that it must be a good wine.

    "Dad," Yali glared at her father, "you can't drink anymore. The doctor said you can only drink one cup a day, that's your share for tomorrow."

    "How come the rationing system is here?" Old Yang shook the glass, and some dark red wine spilled out. "You can see that it is already in the glass. This is today's weight. It must be used up today. Wait till tomorrow. Oh, you really don't understand." He suddenly fumbled and took out a pack of old Yuxi cigarettes and a lighter from the 1980s.

    These two things are incompatible with the restaurant atmosphere. He lit a cigarette, but didn't smoke it, and put it on the edge of the plate. Staring at the rising smoke, Yali's father sighed: "I have a comrade in arms. We are best friends. The relationship between me and Lao Qin is stronger than that between me and Lao Qin. We squat into a cat ear hole. , Drinking in a bottle, eating a can when hungry, and smoking a cigarette... Yes, this is the cigarette."

    "Who is that?" Yali asked suspiciously, "I never heard you say it."

    Lao Yang did not hear his son's words at all: "At noon, he came to ask me to ask for cigarettes. Then there will be enough other things on the front line, but the cigarettes are always not enough, and there are always cigarettes sent to me at home intermittently, so I keep it in my comrades. That’s a lot. On that day, I had only two left. The next time the package is delivered, it will take the day after tomorrow. If you smoke today, you will have to do it for a whole day if you don’t smoke tomorrow. I’ll tell him, tomorrow Let's smoke, there are only two, what shall we smoke tomorrow if we smoke today?"

    Suddenly he toasted, and a long drink was half a cup. "As a result, he left during the battle that afternoon. Just lying here, this place, I took out the cigarette and put it in his hand. He has already I can't smoke anymore..."

    The restaurant was silent, only the candles in the samovar were crackling. Papa Yali pulled up the napkin to cover his face, and then put it down. He was back to normal.

    "But today my son’s, get a discount and half of the drink," he stood up, "I’m sorry, there is a business to discuss, and I’ll make an appointment with someone for an hour. You play slowly, stay, and eat when you’re tired. dinner."

    Don't be so troublesome. We will leave after a while. Liu Yi wanted to say that. The door of the restaurant was pushed open. A gray-haired man appeared in front of the door, speaking in jerky Chinese: "Mr. Yang, forgive me for my impoliteness. I have long admired my name. I really want to see you sooner. Don't blame your secretary for this."

    Liu Yi subconsciously adjusted his posture slightly. Although this person has a suit and leather shoes and is well-dressed, somehow, there is always a strange sense of incongruity. It felt like a wolf put on human clothes, but his bloodthirsty and cruel nature could not be concealed. Compared to a suit, the blood-stained military uniform matched him better.

    Yali’s father replied, “Where, it happened that today my son invited his friend to dinner, which wasted your time. Let me introduce this is the captain of Dogzi, the captain of the second squadron of Changzhou Special Service Detachment, Liu Yi, this is Dogzi , These two are their friends. Team Liu, this is Mr. Gaul Pol, the plenipotentiary representative of the Ukrainian Kharkov Instrument Design Company."

    Nodded to each other, Liu Yi believed his previous intuition more and more. This person has been on the battlefield, and those eyes should never be what a person who grew up in a peaceful environment should have.

    "This beautiful lady," Gaul Boll asked Lu Fei suddenly, "I seem to have seen someone exactly like you. Do you have a twin brother?"

    "Ah? Yes, I have a younger brother," Lu Fei replied in surprise, "looks a lot like me."

    "It couldn't be better," Gaul looked around the room with a grimace, "Excuse me for lunch. Mr. Yang, let's go and give space to the young people."

    Yali's father made a "please" gesture: "As you wish."
