Chapter 1166 The End of the World at This Time (18/57)

The cuisine of Diaoyutai Hotel adopts the strengths of the eight major cuisines of the Celestial Dynasty, as well as the essence of cuisines from all over the world. From the records of palace dishes and delicacies, to the folk delicacies, to the tastes and customs of the heads of state, the hotel dishes have the unique flavor of "fresh, fresh, elegant, pure and timeless". And "Chinese food and Western food" is a major feature here.

The state banquet is not as most people imagine, a table of delicacies from mountains and seas, and the table of the leaders also pays attention to the combination of meat and vegetables. The general state banquet specification is no less than 3 dishes, usually four dishes and one soup or five dishes and one soup.

In fact, most state banquet dishes are relatively simple and simple, but they will be carefully matched and plated, which is a style that changes from simplicity to luxury.

The menu was placed in front of every diner early, with seven dishes, two desserts, and one fruit. Whether it is the hotel's must-have dish, roast duck, or Buddha jumping over the wall, the workmanship is exquisite and the taste is very catchy.

Of course, there is no need to say more about the taste of the food, but in terms of the amount of dishes, it is a bit small for Andy's gluttonous food. Therefore, after the banquet, Andy returned to the Haizi Courtyard and asked his own chef to cook for him. Some barbecue, paired with red wine, and had a delicious meal.

On August 8th, the moment when the whole world focused on China, a carnival dynasty, an ancient nation determined to become a modern power, finally ushered in the Olympic moment on this day. . .

For Andy, this day is undoubtedly a very special day. When he got up early in the morning from Ivana who was already sweating and started watching the fireworks show in advance, he felt refreshed both physically and mentally. Don't hesitate to go into the bathroom to rinse. When I passed by the mirror, I saw myself and couldn't help but smile.

In his previous life, he was watching the TV at home, and he was very excited all the time. He watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with goosebumps all over his body, and his hairs stood on end. The bird's nest spread out.

As many people think that "Three Shots" is so bad, as many people think how good the opening ceremony in 2008 is. To be honest, Lao Mouzi's Olympic opening ceremony was not only recognized by the Chinese people, but also had a top-notch reputation in overseas media.

The well-known American celebrity information website eonline said in a slightly jealous tone: "Any list of the top 5 Olympic Games will turn into 4 companies fighting for the second place, because the number one is definitely Huaxia."

The weather in the capital today is exceptionally clear. The rainy day that everyone had been worrying about before did not appear. Andy was sitting on the bus to the bird's nest, and he was in a difficult mood looking at the capital in a carnival. Outside the magical bird's nest, people gathered people. According to reports, the entire central area of ​​the Bird's Nest will accommodate 160,000 people, including 70,000 guests and athletes, and 90,000 spectators, staff and volunteers. This is undoubtedly a test for all aspects of the capital.

Looking at the armed police standing upright and fully armed along the way, the density is so high that it is amazing. It is really a country that does not need to worry about safety.

The reason why Andy sighed this way was because a war broke out between Georgia and Russia this morning for the control of South Ossetia. According to the news that Andy got, when Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Mier learned that Georgia launched a full-scale military operation and quickly controlled more than 2/3 of South Ossetia, he was in the forest of Diaoyutai Hotel. Running in the morning on the trail, while holding the phone, he directly passed the order of President May who had just taken office, and commanded the army to enter South Ossetia to start military operations. . .

When Andy heard the news, he couldn't help being speechless. Sure enough, a tough guy is a tough guy. The tough guy of the fighting nation is indeed not blown out. It's just that one can imagine how "you are paralyzed" in his heart at this time. , may be roaring in the office, who the hell is the president. . .

Of course, under the attraction of the Olympic Games and the much-anticipated opening ceremony, the only people who really pay attention to the local war are the governments of various countries and international relations experts or institutions.

Finally, when night fell, the whole bird’s nest became pitch black, only the stars twinkling in the audience. In the center of the bird’s nest, 2008 young people covered the entire venue, and they beat a kind of wine vessel from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period——Fou at the same time.

The lights on the fou flashed one by one, and the audience shouted together as the numbers changed: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. . . . . .

"It's started!" Andy still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart at this moment, his eyes flickered, and he whispered softly.

When the number turned to zero, the three fireworks positions running through the central axis of the capital fired salutes, and when the big footprints stepped into the bird's nest, they instantly ignited the Yushu Qionghua in the main venue. Nearly the top of the "Bird's Nest" competed with each other, kicking off the prelude to the grand fireworks show.

Accompanied by the melodious background music of "Singing the Motherland", tens of thousands of "wickers", "bouquets" and "fountains" rushed into the dark blue night sky, and rows of red, green, gold and silver "Roman candlelight" fireworks Simultaneously, countless five-pointed stars, peonies, chrysanthemums, and crown-shaped fireworks competed in the night sky of the capital.

All of a sudden, a hundred flowers were in full bloom, colorful, sometimes golden snakes danced wildly, and sometimes the Milky Way flew down, decorating the night sky brilliantly.

Andy took a deep breath, listened to the exclamation, applause, and cheers erupting around him, and looked at the shocked and stunned athletes from all over the world. At this time, his heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement and pride.

"Eastern wind puts thousands of flowers and trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain..." Andy's eyes flashed with bright fluorescence, and he recited the most appropriate Song lyrics softly. wonderland.

"Come on, Beijing! Come on, China!"

Hundreds of thousands of people in the audience shouted excitedly in unison, which was deafening, resounded through the sky, and shook the night sky. At this time, the century-old Olympic dream of an ancient nation was flying to its fullest.

The national flag slowly rose to the top, and listening to the chorus of the audience, Andy's inner excitement was indescribable at this time, and tears even flashed in his eyes. In this atmosphere, every Chinese soul trembled, although his The body is no longer a celestial being.

Andy let go of his tightly clenched fists, switched to a supernatural state, and calmed himself down completely. After all, there are a lot of Americans and foreigners around him. He can't lose his composure. The excitement that brought tears to his eyes. The dreamy five rings are like a vast galaxy, dotted with stars to become people's yearning, and the Olympic spirit is contained in it.

Immediately afterwards, the four treasures of the study of Chinese traditional culture appeared on the scene: brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. On a huge LED screen 147 meters long and 27 meters wide, Chinese civilization is presented.

When the LCD planet appeared on the scene, Liu Huan and British female singer Sarah Brightman appeared on the scene. Among thousands of pictures with smiling faces, they sang the theme song of the Olympic Games: "You and Me". . .

Next, it was time for the athletes like Andy to come out and receive the applause. Facing the constantly chasing cameras, Andy kept a sunny and charming smile, and made a boxing salute and gave a thumbs up. These pictures were all cut to the big screen, which caused a burst of cheers from the audience. The U.S. delegation was having a lot of fun, and they began to clenched their fists in a similar manner.

The joyful scene entered the eyes of the audience watching the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games all over the world, and they couldn't help showing happy smiling faces. At this moment, there was no messy barrier, and some were just laughing.
