Chapter 1927 Wealthy Banquet

In the past, Zhizi roast beef was exclusively made from four-and-a-half-year-old castrated bulls from Xiguchi or cows that had only given birth to one calf. Only fresh and pure parts such as the upper brain and upper loin were used. The knife skills were used to make special cuts of about a ruler. Use a steel knife to "draw" the meat into willow leaf-shaped slices, about 150 slices per pound, not much different;

The roasted mutton specifically uses "Xikou" sheep with black heads and round tails west of Zhangjiakou. The hind legs and upper brain parts of the mutton are used.

First, clean the fascia, broken bones, meat, dates, etc., then wrap it with a small curtain, and press the meat on ice for 24 hours, so that the meat will be more tender. The knife for cutting the meat is a special one, about one foot and a half long. Inch, the cut meat slices are 5-8 cm wide and 3 mm thick. The thin slices should be translucent and at least translucent, so it is known as "Sai Tofu".

In the past, the main ingredients were soy sauce, with a little vinegar, minced ginger, cooking wine, braised shrimp oil, and shredded green onions and coriander. Before grilling, dip the meat in white water and then grill it on the grill. After the color becomes darker, you can use long chopsticks to pick up the dipping sauce and eat it with candied garlic and cucumber strips.

The current way of eating has slightly changed. Dip the sliced ​​meat into marinade with soy sauce, shrimp oil, sesame oil, ginger juice, chicken powder and various mysterious recipes, then put it on the grill with green onions and grill it with fruit wood. After it's cooked, sprinkle with coriander segments and eat immediately.

Yang Cheng and the others naturally want to eat according to the old taste, and naturally there are special channels for getting the best ingredients.

From the time the order was given to the time when the meat was served, more than 3 hours had passed. As the sky gradually darkened, the family sat around the restaurant and came directly to Wu to eat.

As mentioned before, the old Beijing style emphasizes two ways of eating barbecue: "civilian and martial". The latter is mostly the polite way of eating barbecued by people in "long robes and mandarin jackets". The waiters bake it and serve it to the table. It is also a common food in restaurants now. Law.

But if you want to know how to eat, then you have to call it "Wu Chi". You can make enough food and clothing by yourself. The same is true for eating barbecue. The meat grilled by yourself is more delicious. In the past, when "men" ate barbecue, they would sit around the stove. Stand with one foot on the bench and one foot on the ground.

Everyone is holding a two-foot-long "six-door wood" standing next to the grill, with one foot on the long bench, and spreads the marinated meat on the pine-scented barbecue grill to cook it while cooking. Drinking while drinking, especially in the cold autumn and cold winter, will make you sweat profusely and make you feel tired. But now if you want to eat vigorously, you have to discuss it with the hotel in advance, and some hotels still don't agree.

But I wasn’t so particular at home. It was almost like eating hot pot. At first, everyone was quite polite, but as the food got hotter and hotter, they all simply stood up, grilled and ate while chatting about their own gossip. An atmosphere that calls home.

You must eat sesame cakes when eating barbecue, just like you must eat pancakes when eating roast duck. It is a convention. If you only eat rice, you will definitely be laughed at and won't eat it.

Just as I was talking about whether I wanted to order some more hot pot,

Old John suddenly came in and said, "Our neighbor, Ms. Wendy, brought her daughters to country Z to celebrate the New Year. When she learned that we were also there, she sent an invitation to the party~"

Yang Sen said without thinking, "Let's just forget it and say we're too tired to participate~"

Old John was about to respond, but Yang Cheng said, "It's not good to refuse directly. I'll go over and take a look later~"

Yang Sen looked at Yang Cheng in surprise, but he didn't say anything, "Okay, then go and ask Old John to prepare a gift for you~"

"Just take a box of the red wine that comes on the plane~"

After eating, Yang Cheng asked Luo Yue if she wanted to come with her. It turned out that the girl was very tired from the long-distance flight for several days and was going to go back to the room to sleep. Before leaving, she asked Yang Cheng to stop drinking and go home early.

Wendy Murdoch, no no, she should be called Wendy Deng now. The divorce lawsuit between her and Lao Mo has ended long ago. Although she did not receive much assets, it is still a relatively huge family property for Lao Mo. For ordinary people, , two luxury homes in New York and Beijing, plus nearly 20 million US dollars in cash, are enough for a lifetime of luxury.

Not to mention there are two small companies. With Wendy Deng's skills, it is not easy to make money.

The dinner party she held tonight in her courtyard house could be said to be a gathering of celebrities. Basically, everyone from the Beijing entertainment and fashion circles came.

Of course, a real boss wouldn't even bother to show up at a banquet hosted by Wendy Deng, but his wife's presence is still necessary to give her face.

So, not long after Yang Cheng went out, he was blocked by a group of paparazzi and reporters at the entrance of the alley.

He had no choice but to ask Old John to notify the other party's housekeeper and send someone out to pick him up. He entered through the side door. Yang Cheng didn't want to be caught by the reporter's flash.

It was also a coincidence that I saw Ji Ji Zhang and Li Lianhua arriving one after another. The two made no secret of their love for the camera. They posed at the gate for a long time before Shi Shiran stepped through the gate. She is worthy of being a top actress and always loves the camera. Not satisfied.

Not long after the banquet started, the news on the Internet was overwhelming. Yang Cheng was not an entertainment star, so he didn't want to join in the fun. Moreover, this kind of banquet was really cheap, if it weren't for the sake of the neighbors, and he was indeed a bit You have to ask Wendy Deng about it, he won't come back.

However, Yang Cheng was quite surprised that the International Chapter could come. You must know that Wendy Deng had tricked the International Chapter quite a lot back then. The legendary Warner shareholder, the Jewish Vivi, was definitely a sinkhole. It was Wen Ti Deng introduced this pit to the international chapter and indirectly contributed to their relationship.

But this vivi first used International Chapter's connections to make money crazily in the Chinese entertainment industry, and indirectly created a fraud scandal. If International Chapter hadn't risen with her excellent acting skills, she would have been completely fooled.

Of course, the relationship between women is very complicated. Let alone introducing an unreliable boyfriend, even if you sleep with your husband, it doesn't matter in the face of interests, but you are still intimate in front of the camera.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, we entered this courtyard house that was legendary in the domestic media circle, and found that the modern transformation was still very obvious, especially the snow-covered Western sculpture in the courtyard, which was a bit nondescript. Anyway, Yang Cheng felt that Wendy Deng was tricked by the designer.

At any rate, the courtyard was large enough. Even if it was freezing and snowy outside, there was plenty of space indoors for guests to relax and entertain. When Yang Cheng walked through the verandah, he saw many models and second-tier actresses in formal dresses mingling with each other, and the smell of perfume from various brands filled the air. In the air, condensed by the cold air, I couldn't help but hold my breath when I passed by. Those who didn't know it thought it was the Victoria's Secret backstage.

"Good evening Wendy, long time no see~"

"Hey, my dear Jason, long time no see, are you okay?"

This woman's appearance definitely does not meet the aesthetic standards of Eastern men, but in the eyes of Western men, she is definitely a representative of beauty.

God knows what you are thinking. Maybe foreigners don’t naturally like sweet and graceful people? Not to mention traditional oriental beauties, even goddesses like Jessica Alba are looked down upon by many foreigners, who think she is too sweet. The type with plump buttocks is more popular, such as the Kardashian sisters. .

He endured the helplessness and hugged the other person, "It's okay, you know, I'm getting married~"

"I heard about it. Remember to send me an invitation when the time comes. I will definitely go back to participate~"

"Of course, my wedding is indispensable without you~"

"By the way, I asked someone to bring some red wine from the Middle East. It has a special flavor."

"Then what are you waiting for, sisters, let's try the red wine that Jason brought."

"Thank you Mr. Yang~"

Yang Cheng nodded to the women in the room. He found that except for a few blond and blue-eyed fair-skinned chicks, most of them were women.

"Mr. Yang, do you still remember me?"

Wendy went to greet people to open drinks, and Jiu Zhang took the opportunity to come over with a sweet smile on his face.

"Of course, who can forget this great beauty like you?" Yang Cheng complimented and hugged her politely.

"I just saw you taking pictures at the door~"

International Zhang covered his mouth and smiled, "Business needs it, I'm sorry to see Mr. Yang~"

Yang Cheng quite admired her attitude of daring to make fun of herself, "What projects is Miss Zhang working on recently?"

International Zhang hesitated slightly, and regardless of everyone's surprised looks, he pulled Yang Cheng to a corner and whispered, "I'm currently trying to make a guest appearance in a new project of Legendary Pictures."

Yang Cheng was originally wondering what this woman was going to do, but when she heard what she said, she immediately understood that there were many female celebrities present who were eyeing her. If this news was leaked, she would face greater competitive pressure.

But the question is, with this woman’s relationship with the Wanda Group, does it still need to go to such trouble?

Some people may not know, but they should have heard that Jiujiazhang's mother is a shareholder of Wanda Group. When Wanda Commercial Real Estate went public the year before last, Jiujiazhang's mother made more than a billion dollars.

As for why the International Chapter can have a relationship with Big Laowang, haha, just look at who their common 'friends' are. The Buddha said: It can't be said!

However, things have not been easy for Wanda recently. Against the backdrop of tighter capital market supervision, a letter of inquiry caused major setbacks in the theater layout that Wanda relies on for its survival.

Under such circumstances, Legendary Pictures, which was acquired for US$3.5 billion at the beginning of the year, is no different to Wanda.

You must know that Legendary Pictures has been losing money in the past two years, and the amount is very large. The main reasons include its management's accelerated exercise of options, which led to a significant increase in non-cash equity incentive expenses, higher advertising costs, and provision for impairment of some assets. wait.

But having said that, losses have long been foreshadowed. Among many well-known Hollywood companies, Legendary’s model is the most unique. It is an independent production company that only produces movies. Therefore, compared with a comprehensive company like Disney that has multiple businesses that collaborate with each other, it is In other words, it has a single business and its performance is easily affected by the market performance of its film products, so the fluctuations are very large.

But then again, if it weren't for the losses, Wanda wouldn't have a chance to enter the market.
