Chapter 1053 Chinese Food
1053
Soon, the table was cleared.
Under the warm invitation of the director and Mr. Zhou, Xu Taiping sat at the top position.
The station director and Mr. Zhou sat on Xu Taiping's left and right hand respectively, and then a little further away were Jennifer and others.
"Boss Xu, something suddenly occurred to me. It seems like it's been a long time since Xiaohua took leave to film a movie, hahaha!" the director said with a smile.
"Is her relationship still with the city TV station?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Well, she has already signed a contract with our TV station. This time she went out to film, and she was also on secondment. She will come back sooner or later. Of course, when she comes back, it is all a matter of one word from you, Mr. Xu. I heard that she is in This is a movie that you invested in, right?" the director asked.
"Yeah!" Xu Taiping nodded and said, "Director, go back and find a better program for Xiaohua to be the host. This will be of great help to her and your TV station. Xiaohua can now be regarded as one of the most popular programs in the country. He is a third-tier artist, and once the movie is released, he should be basically promoted to the second-tier."
"I will study this with my subordinates after I get back!" the station director nodded.
"Boss Xu, when it comes to the program, you can actually come to me!" Mr. Zhou said with a smile.
At this time, one side of Mr. Zhou's face was still swollen. This swollen face still maintained a smile. It looked quite miserable, but there was nothing we could do about it. This was a very real world. Even if you were slapped in the face, you would be slapped in the face. It's miserable, but facing an opponent you can't resist, if you still want to live well, you have to smile and swallow the knocked out teeth into your stomach.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Xu Taiping glanced at Mr. Zhou. In fact, he didn't have any deep hatred against Mr. Zhou. It was Jennifer he was teasing, not his girlfriends, and Mr. Zhou had already been taught a lesson by him, so at this time Xu Taiping was still willing to listen to what Mr. Zhou had to say.
"Our Aote Group has sponsored almost all of the most popular variety shows in the country. The little flower in your mouth can choose which show she wants. I will say hello to that show later, be a guest or something like that, there is no need at all. Question! After she participates in more such programs, the audience will become more familiar with her. If a program is tailor-made for her, she will definitely be able to establish herself in the second tier in a short period of time, and may not even rule out joining the first tier. possible." Mr. Zhou said.
After listening to Mr. Zhou's words, Xu Taiping felt that they sounded familiar. Later he remembered that Guo Yunpeng had also said these words to him, but Guo Yunpeng was the producer, and Mr. Zhou was the sponsor. When the sponsor spoke, it was really the producer who spoke. It needs to be much more powerful, after all, he is the financier father.
"However, Mr. Xu, it is not easy to get into the first line. You must have a certain ability. Even if you have no ability, you must also have a good personality. What kind of star do you plan to position that little flower as? You must have a complete Planning and creating a first-line star requires a complete set of procedures!" said Mr. Zhou.
"You seem to know a lot about this?" Xu Taiping asked in surprise.
"Okay, okay, I'm the person in charge of our company's external cooperation, so I basically do all these things!" Mr. Zhou said with a smile.
"Then let's discuss it more carefully when we have a chance. I'm a little hungry, can I eat?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Of course, of course. Mr. Xu, please. By the way, waiter, bring me the menu!" Mr. Zhou shouted.
The waiter quickly brought the menu, and Mr. Zhou chose the more expensive ones and ordered the more expensive ones.
In fact, Xu Taiping didn’t come here for a meal, but just to see Jennifer. He didn’t like so many people, especially so many people he didn’t know well, so after having a simple meal , Xu Taiping gave Jennifer a wink, and then left first.
The director planned to curry favor with Xu Taiping, but Xu Taiping had no choice but to leave, so he and Mr. Zhou could only watch Xu Taiping leave helplessly. After Xu Taiping left, Jennifer also took the camera crew with her. They left the hotel together, saying they wanted to go back and rest early.
In a food stall near the hotel, Xu Taiping sat at a round table in the open air.
Not far away, the owner of the food stall was frying vegetables over a high fire.
Several bottles of beer were placed in front of Xu Taiping. Judging from the water droplets on the beer, he knew that they had just been taken out of the refrigerator. A sip in the summer would be absolutely refreshing.
After Xu Taiping sat for a while, Jennifer came to Xu Taiping wearing a low-cut vest and hot pants.
"It's really hard to find your place, and the environment seems not very hygienic." Jennifer looked around and said.
“Now that you’ve come to China, you should feel the real Chinese fireworks, otherwise you won’t be able to take good photos. Hotels are the same all over the world, but the food stalls in every place are the epitome of localization. , So, I invite you to come to the food stall. Although the environment here is not very good, the hygiene is absolutely no problem, and the food is absolutely delicious!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Then I'll wait and see. To be honest, I don't like the things tonight. As you said, you can eat them in all major hotels. I hope to eat some authentic Chinese food. This time I come to China, in addition to shooting Besides, food is also one of my goals!" Jennifer said, sitting opposite Xu Taiping, placing her hands on the table, her breasts resting directly on her hands, almost popping out of her collar.
"I ordered a few special dishes for you, including hot kidneys, stir-fried snails, spicy crayfish, clam tofu soup, and our special local bamboo shoot jelly!" Xu Taiping said.
"Jiuzhu? What is that?" Jennifer asked.
"It's coming soon, a must-eat cold dish in summer!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
While he was talking, the boss brought a plate and put it on the table.
The plate is an aluminum plate with a plastic bag on it. On the surface of the plastic bag are several jelly-like things cut into pieces. Inside these jelly-like things are strips of dark-colored things that are similar to noodles. .
"This is bamboo shoot jelly!" Xu Taiping took a small bowl, poured some vinegar and soy sauce, then asked the boss for a clove of garlic, crushed the garlic and put it into the sauce, and said, "Dip the sauce It’s so delicious, it’s so delicious that you doubt your life.”
"Frozen bamboo shoots...I know that bamboo shoots are the predecessor of bamboo. Do bamboo shoots grow in the soil? I guess these black and yellow things here should be bamboo shoots. If they are frozen, is it a production technique, similar to Yu jelly?" Jennifer analyzed.
"Your analysis is really accurate!" Xu Taiping said with a thumbs up.
"Analysis is an essential ability for a reporter!" Jennifer smiled proudly, then set up a piece of bamboo shoot jelly, dipped it in some sauce, and ate it in one bite.
Xu Taiping looked at Jennifer with a smile.
After chewing a few times, Jennifer's eyes suddenly lit up.
"It's delicious. It's almost like jelly, but it's salty and cool in the mouth. The bamboo shoots inside are crunchy and have a very good texture. With this sauce, it's amazing! Delicious!" Jennifer said Then he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth, then closed his eyes comfortably.
At this moment, the boss came forward with a plate of kidney flowers, placed the kidney flowers on the table, then looked at Jennifer with a smile and said, "You, a foreigner, actually ate our bamboo shoot jelly, it's not easy. !”
"What's not to like about this? Isn't it bamboo shoots? We also have them in foreign countries! The method is different." Jennifer said.
"Bamboo shoot? No, no, no, it just looks like a bamboo shoot, but it's not. It's called a sandworm here. It's a kind of worm. If you don't believe it, you can catch it and take a look. If you tear its body apart, you can still see inside. Intestines and so on, but these things are edible and are good for the body. It is a gas station for men and a beauty salon for women, hahaha!" the boss said, laughing and turning around to leave.
Jennifer's face suddenly turned pale after the boss said these words.
She stared at Xu Taiping and said, "Is he telling the truth?"
"Yes!" Xu Taiping smiled, "The jelly-like thing wrapped in it is called sandworm, which is very good for the body."
"So, I...ate a bug?!" Jennifer asked, her face becoming even more ugly.
"Well, don't think about it. It's okay. Really, believe me!" Xu Taiping said.
"No, I'm going to vomit!" Jennifer covered her mouth with a pale face, turned around and ran towards the green belt next to her.
Not long after, a sound of vomiting suddenly sounded.
"Really, it's all psychological!" Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head, then put a piece of bamboo shoot jelly into his mouth and chewed it comfortably with his eyes closed.
After about five minutes, Jennifer wiped the corners of her mouth and walked back to Xu Taiping.
"You...how could you lie to me." Jennifer gasped, looking at Xu Taiping and said, "What I fear most in my life are bugs, and you actually let me eat bugs."
"Don't you know that when he was a bug, he was very comfortable eating?" Xu Taiping asked.
"But then I found out!" Jennifer said.
"That's none of my business. That's what the boss said. I didn't plan to tell you!" Xu Taiping shrugged helplessly, then handed over a bottle of beer and said, "Drink some beer to rinse your mouth."
Jennifer took the beer and took two sips, and then she felt a little more comfortable in her stomach.
"Don't take me to eat bugs again!" Jennifer said seriously.
"Okay, I won't take you to eat. Come on, have some kidney flowers." Xu Taiping said.
"What is a waist flower?" Jennifer asked.
"It's the kidney, does the kidney know?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Kidney?" Jennifer was a little surprised. After all, it is rare to eat animal offal in foreign countries, let alone something as tasty as kidney.
Jennifer hesitated for a moment, then picked up a piece of kidney flower with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth.
As soon as it entered my mouth, a smell of urine spread in my mouth.
Jennifer's expression changed, and she turned around again and ran towards the green belt.
Looking at Jennifer's appearance, Xu Taiping shrugged helplessly. It seemed that Jennifer had no chance to truly experience Chinese cuisine.
