I’ve almost bought all the gifts for returning home. Shao Hua's uncles and Zhang Fan's uncles all bought some small gifts, and Shao Hua even brought gifts to his colleagues on Zhang Fan's behalf. It’s the end of 2010, but online shopping in border areas is still underdeveloped. To be honest, ten years from now, even the border areas won’t have free shipping!
"Go and do your work!" Zhang Fan said to the translator, which meant, don't follow us. As a result, the translator said with an embarrassed look: "Before you leave Maruko Country, I will be your assistant!"
This is someone else's job, so Zhang Fan doesn't force it. It's not that other people are in the way, it's mainly that Shao Hua and Jing Shu secretly glance at others when they have nothing to do. One is a border girl and the other is a college girl. They are a little wary of this white-collar worker. Zhang Fan understood it at a glance, so he said this.
Although no one left, Shao Hua and Jing Shu stopped looking at him when he said this. This is actually Zhang Fan’s little trick in life. At noon, Zhang Fan took Shao Hua and Jing Shu to have a good meal. Zhang Fan could be reluctant to wear clothes. Even the mobile phones and watches that young people pursue, Zhang Fan didn't care much.
However, Zhang Fan is particularly concerned about eating. A restaurant that is said to have been passed down for four or five generations. To be honest, the seafood in Wanzi Country is better than that in Bluebird. And the way to eat it is also different. The seafood served in Jade Bird is often similar to the random stew in Dongsan City. A large pot of various shrimps, clams and crabs is cooked in a pot. When it is served, it is always served on a super large plate, not to mention other things. , this momentum alone is quite shocking.
As for the Meatball Country, just like their country, seafood is quite small. Tuna sushi and fried balls made of various fish meat were like small presentation plates for sacrifices. Zhang Fan was a little restrained when eating.
Because he turned around and looked at the other people around him, they seemed to have very little appetite. A bowl of rice the size of a wine cup, a man from the country of meatballs was ready to put out his chopsticks after finishing it. Zhang Fan felt like a rice pail and was too embarrassed to order more.
In the end, Zhang Fan also had a bowl of pork bone noodles from the Meatball Country. After finishing the meal, Zhang Fan was full of joy. “Better than plainness!”
"The price is not cheap." Shao Hua knew that Zhang Fan was not comfortable eating, but when he thought that this thing cost hundreds of dollars, he felt a little cheated.
Shao Hua is similar to Zhang Fan. After he has some money, he feels like the richest man. He raises a dog and sells rotten fruit mobile phones. The biggest expenses for the two of them now are actually the house in Magic City and the truck that Shao Hua bought for the farm.
Other consumption, what it used to be like, is still what it is now. When it comes time to bargain, Shao Hua is absolutely not merciless. Maybe this has been the life of the two of them since childhood. He is considered a person who has never seen the world.
"Buy a watch for Jingshu. The watch here is pretty good." Shao Hua whispered to Zhang Fan while Jingshu was at her convenience.
"Well, if I buy one, you can buy one too. I don't want it. I'm going to have surgery. It's inconvenient to take it off and put it on. Besides..."
"I don't plan to buy it for you. Why are you being so sentimental?" Shao Hua said angrily.
"Haha!" Zhang Fan smiled, not wanting to make any argument.
In the past, Chinese people who came to the country of meatballs usually bought big items, such as TVs and refrigerators. Later, it became small items, such as watches, and now most people buy cosmetics when they come here. Who knew that in the next few years, Chinese people would come here to buy either rice cookers or toilet seats!
I didn't eat well at lunch, but I still had to buy something, but there was a big meal in the evening, and Zhang Fan was looking forward to it.
Although he didn't eat well, Zhang Fan still had to accompany the two shopping demons around Tokyo. "Let's take a rest and find a place to sit for a while. My legs are broken!" Zhang Fan began to beg for mercy. To be honest, whether he was competing with Shao Hua or doing anything else, Zhang Fan had never begged for mercy so lowly.
It seems that humans are like lions, only cats can ambush in corners. Mobile warfare is still not possible. This is caused by genes, not because men are lazy!
Citizen, Seiko, Casio. Jingshu asked for a Casio, and it was a pink one. It said it could measure altitude, soak in water, and be used as a thermometer. But Zhang Fan looked over and saw an electronic watch. "Let's buy a mechanical watch. We are all grown up girls. It is not appropriate to buy a toy watch."
"No, I want this. My sister-in-law bought it for me. You don't understand." Jing Shu's relationship with Shao Hua is not very good now.
Shao Hua bought a couple's watch for her and Zhang Fan. He must have been deceived because the Chinese who sold the watch said that this watch was an electro-optical watch and there was no need to wind it up or change the battery as long as it was in the sun. But Zhang Fan, holding it in his hand, always felt that this thing was an electronic watch.
…
In the evening, Zhang Fan took Shao Hua to attend the banquet of the rich man. "Do you want to dress more formally? Isn't there anything particular about Maruko-kun?"
Zhang Fan asked for translation.
"It's just a family dinner, it doesn't have to be too formal."
The translator replied with a smile.
Zhang Fan wore a suit arranged by Shao Hua, put on Shao Hua who put on some light makeup, and set off in the car sent by the rich man. Zhang Fan thought that such a rich man must live in a villa or something, but it turned out that he didn't live in a villa in Tokyo, but in an apartment.
It is said to be the most expensive apartment on JD.com. Anyway, in terms of RMB, one unit costs about half a billion. It was a re-examination. There was no legendary tatami, as if the house was all made of soft packaging.
The floor is a thick beige carpet.
"Zhang Sang, welcome!" The room was decorated in a modern style, but the director was wearing a kimono, and the rich man's wife was wearing clothes with pillows. She looks young, but very elegant.
There were not many people invited to the family dinner. Not counting Zhang Fan and his wife, there were three people.
One is a doctor from Wanzi Country, the other is a Chinese who came to Wanzi Country in the early years and is also a doctor, and there is a doctor from Bangzi Country. These three people are the leaders of the wealthy private medical team.
Maybe they thought that their colleagues had a common language, maybe the rich man felt pressured by his personal doctor, or maybe it was for other purposes. Anyway, the eyes of the three people looking at Zhang Fan were not so friendly. Ordinary people don’t understand the world of rich people.
Friendship is nothing in front of this kind of people, most of it is just benefits. Being cruel and ruthless is not a problem at all. Don't look at Xiaohehe, maybe he is already dissatisfied with his personal doctor.
After exchanging a few words, the rich man took Zhang Fan and the others to drink tea first. A specially invited tea ceremony master will perform tea art. After watching for a long time, Zhang Fan couldn't find anything good to drink from the cup. He thought it would be better to drink Tieguanyin himself.
"Which university did Zhang Sang graduate from?" The Chinese asked first.
He came to Maruko Country when he was a student. When his family had some money, he followed the trend of studying in Japan started by Lao Nie, who played chess, and came to Maruko Country. I worked at Suntendo Hospital in Maruko Country until I reached the mid-level level, but there was always a ceiling. Later, I switched jobs and became a private doctor for a rich man.
What do these people say? After returning to China a few years ago, they felt that they were superior to others, but slowly they seemed to realize that if they had not come to Maruko Country back then, they might have been better off than they are now. Therefore, they have a special mentality towards China and Chinese people.
I probably feel that I am powerful, but I can't make the Chinese people feel powerful. So I was a bit eager to show off.
"Lanshi Medical College!" Zhang Fan didn't have a chauvinistic mentality, and he really came here for the big meal. So very peaceful.
"Oh, I haven't heard of it. I guess I'm ignorant."
"Haha!" Zhang Fan smiled and did not answer. But this Chinese man had a trace of contempt on his face, he had definitely heard of it!
"I heard that Dr. Zhang is an orthopedic surgeon?" The doctor from Bangziguo also spoke.
"right!"
"Our country is pretty good at spine. I don't know if Dr. Zhang has ever cooperated with our country's spine experts."
"Oh Nope."
"What a pity!" He said it was a pity, but his face seemed to look down on others.
In fact, the rich man praised Zhang Fan in front of a few people. These private doctors felt like they had lost their favored concubine, and they were filled with jealousy. They felt that Zhang Fan was also here to steal bones.
Therefore, the three people who were not always on good terms put aside their differences and spoke to the outside world together.
"Zhang Sang, thanks to your intervention this time, Quanzi. This incident was rushed and it would be disrespectful to prepare a simple meal!"
Although the tycoon from Maruko Country spoke weird Chinese, making it sound like he was watching an old anti-Japanese TV series, his attitude was still very polite.
After chatting for a while, the meal began.
Rich people are rich people, and the dinner tableware looks particularly beautiful, including sky blue orchid plates. A variety of bright dinner plates.
Oysters as big as a palm, Zhang Fan is good at this, he is polite to everyone. When he ate, he ate. When he picked up the oysters, Zhang Fan complained in his heart: "Can't you put some minced garlic? If not, pour some seafood soy sauce! What the hell is this soup drenched in? It's ruining the ingredients."
The soil and water support the people. If it weren't for the fact that this thing was so big and so fresh, Zhang Fan wouldn't want to eat it.
What is served on a wooden plate is the so-called golden black truffle in mushrooms, dotted on the wagyu beef like snowflakes, put a little butter on the iron plate, and gently fry it, the slight oil smoke that comes out is quite delicious. Not bad.
When Zhang Fan came, he was still worried about what kind of human body feast the rich man would create.
Sea urchin, lobster and caviar, especially this thing, you need to drizzle a little grapefruit juice when eating. The sweet and bitter taste of the plant mixed with the meaty smell of the seafood can actually inspire an alternative deliciousness. To be honest, although the meatball country is not as perfect as the Chinese country in terms of the complex aroma of the food, what they pay attention to is freshness.
The last dish is the most plump part of bluefin tuna, mixed with puffer fish and cooked crab meat, garnished with white truffle, lightly dipped in mustard, take a bite, when the spicy mustard opens up the mouth and nose, the protein in the meat is in the mouth Overflowing.
The juice in the fresh meat overflows just enough to make the taste buds explode with indescribable enjoyment.
Shao Hua didn't eat much. She couldn't stand the smell of sea food, it was too strong. But Zhang Fan really enjoyed it.
Finally had a full meal!
