Chapter 561: Two Banquets in One Day
Zhao Benhe has a guild hall in the capital, which is composed of several courtyard houses, and this time he invited Zhen Fan to a courtyard house called Mingshi, which is one of the components of the guild hall. The area where it is located is not prosperous. But the humanistic atmosphere is very full, and it feels a bit like an old alley. Walking in, it seems to be separated from the bustling outside world.
Not long after seeing Gong Yu off, Zhao Benhe took a photo of an extended Cadillac welcome car, and he came here himself. When I went upstairs, I found Zhen Fan's room. When I saw Zhen Fan, I laughed and said, "Brother Zhen, I can't bear it anymore. I originally asked my apprentices to pick you up, but I still I can't help but come here by myself, don't you think I'm bothering you?" He spoke with a strong northeast accent.
"No way, please invite the distinguished guests who can't even come, we are ready to go, let's go now, or sit down and talk and go?" Zhen Fan stepped forward to meet Zhao Benhe, and the two held hands tightly. Mar also shook his hand.
"Of course I'm going to eat!" Zhao Benhe looked very angry, he was doing so well in China's entertainment industry, and most people should give him some face. But he won't show anything in front of Zhen Fan, because Zhen Fan's reputation, his career in the United States, and the circle of contacts in the United States will not allow him to have any pride in front of Zhen Fan.
What's more, Zhen Fan is accompanied by Emma. This is a big Hollywood star. Generally speaking, these young Hollywood big stars, when they accumulate wealth, they will definitely not be inferior to themselves!
Along the way, Zhen Fan and Zhao Benhe looked out the window, and they respectively introduced to Emma the scenery along the way and the names of the streets. Zhen Fan was also a very competent translator. Emma kept a reserved smile, listened carefully, and nodded from time to time. Until we reached the courtyard.
After getting off the car, the group walked into the alley. Emma is very interested in this kind of building, and compared with the restraint on the car, it looks a little more lively. She kept asking Zhen Fan various questions about these alleys. Some Zhen Fan really couldn't answer, so he asked Zhao Benhe, and after getting the answer, he translated it for Emma.
When she entered the courtyard, Emma couldn't help but smile all over her face. Yes, such a building seemed very fresh and interesting to her. It was the first time for her to see buildings like hutongs and courtyard houses in China.
A group of people entered the private room on the second floor. The name of the private room is a bit rustic, called "Naoke Hall". Zhen Fan was stunned when he saw the name, and then couldn't help laughing.
There were some of his apprentices on the table, they all stood up and greeted Zhen Fan one by one, and another apprentice smiled at Zhen Fan: "Brother Zhen is very powerful. I will give more pointers in the future!"
As soon as he said this, he was scolded by Zhao Benhe: "You are still Big Brother Zhen, I call him Brother Zhen, aren't you my generation? Goofing around!" This remark made everyone laugh, the apprentice Apologize quickly,
He really called "Uncle", which made Zhao Benhe satisfied.
The wine is Baotu Spring wine. Shandong's famous wine, 54% sesame-flavored, has a market price of more than 1,600 yuan a bottle, and the selling price here is 3,888 yuan a bottle.
"I wanted to order Moutai today, but since it's a family banquet, I invited Baotu Spring wine, which is also a famous wine from Shandong, brother Zhen, don't mind being negligent!" Zhao Benhe said. Seeing that the wine glass was full, he raised it. If it is some actors, directors, etc. that are usually entertained, regardless of gender, they should show face at this time, and the first glass of wine is to be drunk.
Emma looked at Zhen Fan, a little hesitant, but she was suffering from the Chinese baijiu. At Feng Daran's banquet last time, he was a little drunk. When she hesitated, Zhao Benhe immediately saw the clues, and immediately pleaded guilty: "It's mine, isn't it? You should prepare red wine, serve the wine!"
The boss spoke, and immediately there was an apprentice recruiting him. He went to the waiter and twisted a bottle of red wine. Emma looked at the label and couldn't help but burst out laughing. It turned out to be Zhen Fan's newly brewed wine. Unexpectedly, after turning around a lot, he was still drinking the wine brewed by Zhen Fan.
"This is Brother Zhen's masterpiece. It is rare to buy it in China. I asked someone to bring it from the United States. With such a good wine, Brother Zhen would not consider selling it in China?" Zhao Benhe laughed.
"Yes, it won't be long. When the production capacity comes up, it will be sold domestically!" Zhen Fan smiled. The supply of this kind of wine is in short supply in the United States, and it is still very difficult to supply it in the United States. I don't know if it can be digested, the consequences of rapid expansion may lead to a decline in quality, Zhen Fan is not willing to do this.
"Okay, I'm waiting!" Zhao Benhe laughed.
The banquet was very lively, Zhao Benhe's apprentices toasted Zhen Fan one by one, and Zhen Fan would not refuse anyone who came. At the beginning, Zhao Benhe wondered whether he should restrain his apprentices, otherwise he would get Zhen Fan drunk and lose face, but when he saw Zhen Fan drinking one cup after another with a smile on his face, he didn't feel bad at all. what effect. Instead, several of his apprentices fell down first.
All kinds of messy words at the dinner said that Zhao Benhe is a friendly person, and when he can make friends with someone, he will make that person feel like a spring breeze, and this time it can be regarded as the friendship between the two of them. Society should not be too pure and above the world. Some people in Taoism generally pay attention to being out of the world and hide in deep mountains and old forests, thinking that this is practice, but Zhen Fan believes that entering the world is actually a kind of practice. Therefore, the handling of these interpersonal relationships still has a certain scale. Rolling around in the world of mortals is also a way for him to detach himself from the world of mortals in the future and gain a glimpse of the great way.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was warm, Zhen Fan thought that Zhao Benhe would mention some official words such as cooperation, communication, etc., but he didn't say anything, just drinking, which can make people completely let go of some cares and enjoy themselves. I've had a drink. This is a means by which he betters the public. Talking about things at the wine table now often has some negative effects. If you force others to agree to some of your requirements, it will be rare to ask others for help next time.
Satisfied with wine and food, Zhao Benhe originally planned to enjoy massage techniques in the leisure room, but because he had to go to Dong Xin's house for a banquet in the evening, Zhen Fan could only plead guilty, apologized, and bid farewell to Zhao Benhe up. Zhao Benhe deliberately asked Zhen Fan to be sent to his place, so he was relieved.
After Zhen Fan and Emma left, among those apprentices there were still cheating and cheating. One or two sober ones walked up to Zhao Benhe, who was already a little drunk, and said, "Master, why are you so polite to him?"
Zhao Benhe smiled proudly: "This is the difference between you and me. The people you associate with are only eager for quick success. Seeing that he is famous now, he tries his best to be better, but he can't see the things behind those people. Let me ask you How many people in the whole country and the whole world can play magic like him?" Zhao Benhe drank happily today, so he didn't blame his apprentices for asking these questions, and answered them with great interest.
"No one, except him!" The apprentice replied honestly.
"You can make good friends with Hollywood female stars, and the owner of the famous Chinese medicine clinic in Los Angeles' Beverly Hills, and the owner of the world's most famous wine, you can let go of such a person and be friends with him opportunity?" Zhao Benhe shook his head and said as he walked, "He is a person who makes his fortune by his ability, not by his relationship, so this is an essential difference. Those who rely on relationships will eventually shatter their networks one day. We will lose everything, and there will be a day of bad luck. Our goal is to make friends with these capable people, and one day they will help you. Remember, boys!" Saying this, he waved his hand, not Let the apprentices follow, and went into the leisure room by himself to enjoy the massage from the masseur.
Not long after Zhen Fan returned home, he received a call from Dong Xin. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Dong Xin has no family to celebrate the New Year with her here in Beijing. Even her boyfriend who was rumored on the Internet did not show up.
But this family banquet is much simpler than Zhao Benhe's so-called family banquet. Just a few delicate side dishes, plus a hot hot pot, it's a family feast.
"Don't think I'm negligent, this is the best I've done." Dong Xin smiled, and after welcoming Zhen Fan in, she let him sit down with Emma, who was still wearing an apron. "I don't usually cook at home very much, so you can just deal with it. I have been busy all afternoon with just these few dishes!"
"I don't know how many people in the country envy and hate the dishes cooked by Dong Xin. How dare I despise them?" Zhen Fan joked and pulled Emma to sit down. After Dong Xin untied the apron and put it away, the three of them gathered around the table to finish.
Dong Xin patted his forehead suddenly, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I really forgot, look at my memory, why did I forget to buy wine? I don't usually drink, so I have to have some today Yes, but..."
"Want to drink my wine?" Zhen Fan said to Dong Xin with a smile.
When Dong Xin heard this, he laughed again, patted himself on the head, shook his head again and again, and said with a smile: "With a great magician like you in front of me, I still worry about the problem of drinking. Come on, Master Zhen, Give me a jug of wine, the little girl is very grateful!" Dong Xin actually stood up and performed an ancient squatting ceremony to Zhen Fan.
"The little girl is so polite!"
Seeing Dong Xin's decent appearance and even a little delicate appearance, Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing: "You are my eldest sister, you are not a little girl, if you are a little girl, I will be a real little man! "
Dong Xin also laughed. Then he looked straight at Zhen Fan, made a gesture of please, turned his head to Emma and said with a smile in English: "I asked him to conjure some wine to make up for my fault, you can see now He's doing a show where he can make wine out of his bare hands!"
Emma also found it interesting, and looked at Zhen Fan, grinning.
"You put out the wine glasses first, and I'll make wine for you!" Zhen Fan smiled, and asked Dong Xin to put three tall wine glasses on the table, and then smiled at them: "Now look Let me tap the cup lightly with my chopsticks to see if there is any change?"
As Zhen Fan spoke, he tapped the edge of the wine glass lightly with his chopsticks, making a crisp sound. (To be continued.
