Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

In the early hours of the next morning, when most people were still immersed in sweet dreams, the sky was only slightly lit with a faint light.

Natasha was wearing a long army green trench coat, the hem of which fluttered gently with her hurried steps, and her slender legs were in a pair of exquisite low-heeled leather boots.

Natasha looked a little hurried, as if she had something important to deal with. Finally, she arrived at the door of the apartment, tidied up her wind-blown hair, and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and it was Li Weijun standing at the door.

Natasha walked straight into the room without much greeting, took out a thick stack of documents from the file bag she carried with her and placed it on the table.

Then, she took a deep breath and began to tell Li Weijun in detail about the arrangements and plans for this track and field competition. She spoke a little fast, but her words were clear and well-organized, and she explained every detail very clearly.

"Mr. Davari, Director Shekov said that this track and field event is tentatively scheduled for next Tuesday. The venue is next to the Red Square track and field. During this period, you must pay attention to your own safety and diet, and don't make any mistakes."

Li Weijun, who was sitting at the dining table and stuffing pancakes into his mouth, suddenly stopped eating voraciously after hearing what Natasha said.

He frowned slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face, as if Natasha's words touched something deep in his heart.

After a while, Li Weijun slowly chewed the newly made pancake that he had just put into his mouth and had not had time to chew it slowly. As his mouth moved, one could see the pancake being crushed bit by bit and swallowed.

Then, he picked up the half cup of milk beside him, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, with a "gulp" sound coming from his throat.

After doing all this, Li Weijun seemed to have finally sorted out his thoughts, and then he spoke slowly...

"Don't worry about the track and field events. We have professional arrangements. There won't be any safety issues like food poisoning. We just hope that you can allow our participants to go to the track and field stadium to familiarize themselves with the environment before the track and field events start. It's best to be mentally prepared so that you don't get confused after entering."

This request was reasonable, so Natasha nodded in agreement without hesitation: "Of course, this is within my responsibility. There is no need to report it to Director Shekov. How about setting the date on Tuesday? This way, not only can I get familiar with the track and field venue as soon as possible, but also the time interval will not be too long, which will cause memory errors."

Li Weijun and Song Tianyang both agreed with Natasha's kind reminder and nodded to express their sincere gratitude. They warmly invited Natasha to stay for a while and enjoy a hearty breakfast before leaving.

After all, it is early morning now, the sun of a new day has just begun to shine on the earth, and a steaming, delicious breakfast will undoubtedly bring people full of energy and joy.

This sumptuous meal is dazzling to the eyes and fragrant to the nose!

Among them, the cup of fragrant milk is naturally an indispensable drink, but apart from that, the rest of the dishes are very particular!

These are the Chinese breakfasts that Li Weijun specifically instructed the cooks to prepare carefully.

The first thing that catches your eye is the pot of steaming, freshly fried soy milk.

It exudes a strong bean fragrance, is slightly yellow in color, and has a mellow taste, which makes people salivate just by smelling it. It is paired with golden and crispy fried dough sticks and sweet sugar buns. The fried dough sticks are fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside; while the sugar buns are soft and delicious, with sweet fillings like honey.

Look over here, the crystal clear rice noodle rolls lie on the plate like white jade, covered with delicious sauce and chopped green onions.

Gently pick up a piece and put it in your mouth. The rice noodle rolls are smooth and delicate, melt in your mouth, accompanied by the salty fragrance of the sauce and the fresh fragrance of chopped green onions, which is very memorable.

The exquisite steamed dumplings are also very eye-catching. The thin dough wraps the fresh and juicy fillings, such as chives and eggs, pork and green onions, etc. Every bite is full of the taste of home.

Even though these cooks usually cook Western food such as steak and bread, they are also very skilled in making Chinese food.

From the selection of ingredients to the cooking temperature, everything has been carefully considered and repeatedly practiced to present such a delicious Chinese breakfast feast.

At least in Li Weijun's opinion, it is not inferior to some of the signature breakfast shops in China.

Natasha swallowed involuntarily, her eyes flickering with hesitation and confusion. She paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"This... this is not a good idea, right? After all, I have never tasted your country's breakfast.

I have heard before that your country has eight remarkable cuisines, but I have no idea whether they really exist or which one tastes better!"

After saying this, Natasha bit her lip lightly, as if she was a little embarrassed about her lack of understanding.

“Among the eight major cuisines, which one tastes better?”

Li Weijun thought for a moment and found it difficult to answer this question for a moment. The country has a vast territory and the customs and habits are different. Due to their geographical location, Yunnan and Guizhou are particularly good at stir-frying mushrooms, and the taste is spicy, especially in the area of ​​the ancient Shu Kingdom, which loves spicy food and there are anorectal hospitals everywhere.

Different regions in the vast land have their own unique food culture preferences.

Among them, people in the Jiangnan region have shown a unique taste tendency - they have a special liking for sweets. Those soft, sticky, and sweet delicacies have become a regular on the Jiangnan dining table.

In contrast, chili peppers and other highly pungent ingredients are rarely found in the diet of people in the south of the Yangtze River.

This taste preference is also directly reflected in the special dishes of the Jiangnan region. For example, rice noodle rolls are a classic.

The smooth and tender rice flour wraps the sweet filling, which melts in your mouth and makes you indulge in the sweet taste.

There are also xiaolongbao, whose thin skin contains a lot of delicious soup and sweet meat filling. When you bite it open, the rich sweetness spreads instantly.

The taste of these dishes all tends to be sweet, bringing diners a unique taste feast.

The Huaiyang cuisine of Li Weijun's hometown in his previous life can be said to be a combination of the best of both southern and northern cuisines. It skillfully combines the delicacy and refinement of southern cuisine with the boldness and grandeur of northern cuisine.

In terms of cooking techniques, Huaiyang cuisine is a fusion of many other cooking methods, whether it is steaming, stir-frying, braising, slow-cooking or boiling, each cooking method has been used to perfection. This variety of cooking methods allows Huaiyang cuisine to present a myriad of flavors and textures.

In terms of taste, Huaiyang cuisine is neither as spicy as Sichuan cuisine, nor as salty and heavy as Shandong cuisine; it is neither too sweet like Jiangsu cuisine, nor as hot and spicy as Hunan cuisine.

It is at a perfect balance, not too salty or bland, not too sweet or spicy, everything is so moderate and harmonious.

It is this unique flavor that gives Huaiyang cuisine a kind of moderate and plain beauty.

Just like the true meaning of life, it is not about pursuing extreme taste experience, but finding the satisfying taste in peace and balance. When people taste Huaiyang cuisine, they seem to feel a tranquil atmosphere that makes people intoxicated and unforgettable.

This is also one of the reasons why Huaiyang cuisine was chosen for the state banquet, because its taste is more acceptable to the general public, so it has the reputation of being the top choice for state banquets.

Of course, if we talk about people's preferences for cuisine in the northern regions, then there is no doubt that most people's first choice will definitely be Shandong cuisine.

After all, Shandong cuisine is famous for its unique flavor, exquisite cooking skills and profound cultural heritage. Whether in a bustling city or a quiet countryside, Shandong cuisine is always everywhere.

Moreover, those Shandong cuisine chefs with superb cooking skills are highly sought after like stars. Wherever they go, they can quickly conquer the taste buds of local diners with their excellent cooking skills.

Whether they are cooking exquisite dishes in high-end restaurants or showcasing the charm of traditional snacks at street stalls, Shandong cuisine chefs can always bring out the best in the ingredients, making every dish an unforgettable delicacy.

So, it can be said that Shandong cuisine chefs are popular wherever they go!

Therefore, Li Weijun chose to laugh off Natasha's doubts: "I have no experience in cuisine. It's hard to satisfy everyone. Everyone has different tastes and different ways of tasting dishes. It mainly depends on the feedback from each person's tongue. Comrade Natasha, why don't you try breakfast to see if it suits your appetite? If you feel you have a good appetite, you will have a long way to go in life. If you have the chance, you are welcome to come to our country and try authentic Chinese cuisine."

When Natasha received the invitation, she couldn't help but feel an irrepressible joy in her heart.

When she gently unbuttoned her windbreaker, her slim and graceful figure appeared before everyone's eyes like a blooming flower, instantly attracting a lot of attention from the surroundings.

However, out of caution and to avoid suspicion, Natasha deliberately chose to sit one seat away from Li Weijun.

Despite this, her beauty cannot be ignored, like the bright stars in the night sky, emitting charming light.

Natasha was very nervous, she knew that she couldn't make any mistakes, otherwise Jiang Xifeng would find out her secret. Therefore, she was very careful in her words and actions, and she didn't even dare to breathe too heavily, for fear of arousing the other party's suspicion.

However, even though Natasha was so cautious, Jiang Xifeng's keen female intuition still detected something strange.

Jiang Xifeng frowned slightly, showing a bit of displeasure on her face, and said softly: "I think Comrade Natasha is here to carry out an important mission! I think she must have rushed here after finishing her work at hand. How can she eat so much so early in the morning? What if she expands her appetite too much because of greed and affects the normal work afterwards!"

Jiang Xifeng's little thoughts are so obvious that even a fool can see them.

Not to mention thinking with his brain, Li Weijun could tell the answer even if he just guessed with his feet - this smart and quirky little girl must have noticed that something was wrong.

He cleared his throat gently, then said slowly, "Oh, you can't say that! We are in a foreign country now, and it is fate that we can meet here!"

"Just think about it, among this huge crowd of people, there are so many people coming and going, but it is this Natasha who resonates with us.

As the saying goes, "more friends, more roads." More friends mean one more way to success or to solve problems. Also, there is an old saying that goes, "one hero needs three helpers, and one fence needs three stakes." It means that no matter what you do, don't force yourself into a dead end. Leave a way out for the future, and don't be too decisive.

Zhang Yunzhen, who knew the whole story, also quickly echoed, "That's right! It's true! When we come out to fight and get along in society, we rely on our face and interpersonal relationships! Look at Luo Kong in the embassy, ​​isn't he also one of the interpersonal resources we have accumulated? With these interpersonal relationships, many difficult and thorny things can be easily solved! So, this face is really important!"

Natasha's sharp mind was as delicate as spider silk. How could she not notice the subtle displeasure that Jiang Xifeng showed towards her?

She raised her hand slightly and gracefully lifted her long hair that fell on her shoulders like a waterfall. The corners of her mouth slightly raised. Instead of retreating, she took a small step forward and spoke frankly.

"It's okay! This morning, I was so focused on delivering this important news to everyone that I didn't even have time to eat! So, this is a good opportunity to enjoy a delicious breakfast with you all. This won't delay anything at all! Ms. Jiang, you are really too worried!"

"Am I worrying too much? That's ridiculous!" Jiang Xifeng's face was full of anger, and her beautiful and sharp eyes seemed to be able to spit fire at this moment. Her chest was heaving violently, and it was obvious that she was very angry.

She wanted to argue a few more times, but when she looked around, she found that everyone was looking at her. Those curious eyes were like sharp thorns, making her swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

In the end, Jiang Xifeng could only grit her teeth in indignation, snorted coldly, and turned away.

However, although she pretended to be calm on the surface, her slightly trembling back still exposed her inner resentment and anger.
