The Red Devils' revival starts with retaining Mourinho

When the convoy that Luo Lie and his party were riding in was about to arrive at the Oriental Culture Hotel Wangfujing in Beijing, Zhou Yue, Liu Xiaoyan and Ji Sihan finally discussed the first meal that Luo Lie would have after landing in the oriental country, which was the famous Yongzheng Dynasty roast duck in the old Beijing.

Arriving at the hotel, the welcome ceremony, checking into the room, simple washing... all of this was put aside. Luo Lie took his secretary Lina, Liu Xiaoyan, Ji Sihan and Zhou Yue to the courtyard house in the food street that was entrusted to the general manager of the Oriental Culture Hotel Wangfujing in Beijing. The reason why he finally entrusted the general manager of the Oriental Culture Hotel Wangfujing in Beijing to help with the reservation was that the place he was going to was too popular, and the normal reservation would take two weeks later.

This is a courtyard house hidden in a food street in Beijing. It is quiet in the bustling city and has a different world. The courtyard wall of the courtyard is tall and thick, made of blue bricks, giving people a sense of simplicity and solemnity. The top of the wall is covered with blue-gray tiles, and there is some moss growing on the tiles, revealing a little vicissitudes of life.

The gate is vermilion, thick and heavy, with a pair of copper door knockers inlaid on it, shining with the luster of time. There is a plaque above the door, with the name of the courtyard written in vigorous and powerful handwriting.

The moment they stepped into the courtyard, it seemed as if they had traveled through time and space. The ancient blue bricks and gray tiles, the carved doors and windows, and the lush tree in the yard all make people feel a sense of tranquility and peace. The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light on the ground, adding a poetic touch to the yard.

The layout of the yard is square and rigorous, full of symmetrical beauty. Facing the gate is an exquisite screen wall, which is made of bricks and stones, and is engraved with various auspicious patterns, such as pine and crane longevity, fortune, longevity, and happiness, etc., which imply beauty and happiness. In front of the screen wall are several pots of blooming flowers, such as gorgeous roses and elegant jasmine, which exude bursts of fragrance, adding vitality to the yard.

Led by the waiter, several people came to a spacious and bright private room. The decoration in the private room is simple and generous, and there are several exquisite landscape paintings on the wall, which are pleasing to the eye. Exquisite tableware has been laid on the table, and each piece exudes a simple and rustic atmosphere.

Luo Lie looked around, his eyes full of emotion. This life has been abroad for the first time to come to the Eastern country. Although he has visited some courtyard houses that are the former residences of celebrities in his previous life, they are somewhat shabby; now, looking at this quaint but vibrant courtyard house in front of him, his heart is full of joy and touching. "This courtyard house is so beautiful, much more beautiful than the ancient town of my hometown that my father described to me." He said with a smile.

Lina looked at everything around her with curiosity. She has always been interested in Chinese culture, and this time she was excited to taste the food in such a traditional courtyard house. "This place is really unique, I feel like I have walked into an ancient story."

Liu Xiaoyan and Zhou Yue were also attracted by the beautiful scenery of this courtyard house. Liu Xiaoyan said: "This place is so charming. It's so rare to find such a quiet place to eat in Beijing." Zhou Yue nodded in agreement: "Yes, the atmosphere here makes people feel very relaxed."

As a Beijinger, Ji Sihan is naturally familiar with this courtyard. She smiled and said: "This courtyard is a major feature of our Beijing. You see, the wing rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard stand opposite each other, and the rooms are spacious and bright. On the south side is a row of back houses, which are usually used as guest rooms or utility rooms. On the north side is the main house, which is the most important building in the entire courtyard and is generally where the elders live. And the roast duck here is also very famous. I guarantee that you will want to eat it again after eating it once."

After a while, the waiter brought a golden and fragrant roast duck. The roast duck was placed on an exquisite plate, and it was accompanied by condiments such as shredded green onions, cucumbers, and sweet noodle sauce. Looking at this tempting roast duck, several people's saliva almost flowed out.

Just as they were about to feast on it, the lights on the stage suddenly lit up. An actor dressed in traditional Peking Opera costumes walked onto the stage with elegant steps, his face painted with delicate makeup, his eyes revealing confidence and majesty. As the gongs and drums sounded, the actor began a wonderful performance. His singing was high-pitched and passionate, his movements were both hard and soft, and every look and every movement was full of artistic charm.

Everyone was attracted by this wonderful performance, and the chopsticks in their hands stopped involuntarily. Luo Lie widened his eyes and said in amazement: "This Peking Opera performance is so wonderful! I have never seen such a unique art form abroad." Lina applauded excitedly and said in not very fluent Chinese: "Chinese Peking Opera is so amazing! ThisSome actors are like they came out of a painting. "

During the interval of the Peking Opera performance, the waiter skillfully cut the roast duck into thin slices, each slice was as thin as a cicada's wing and uniform in size. Then, she put the sliced ​​roast duck on a plate and brought it to everyone one by one.

Luo Lie couldn't wait to pick up a piece of roast duck, put it on the pancake, add scallion, cucumber and sweet noodle sauce, and then roll it up and put it in his mouth. The roast duck has crispy skin and tender meat, the sweet noodle sauce has a mellow taste, and the refreshing taste of scallion and cucumber adds a lot of flavor to this dish. He closed his eyes and savored the delicious roast duck carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face. "It's so delicious! The taste of this roast duck is really unforgettable."

Lina also imitated Luo Lie and picked up a piece of roast duck and put it in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up: "Wow, this roast duck is really delicious! I have never eaten such delicious food. "While eating the roast duck, she kept praising the breadth and depth of Chinese cuisine.

Liu Xiaoyan and Zhou Yue were also impressed by the deliciousness of the roast duck. Liu Xiaoyan said: "The skin of this roast duck is so crispy, the meat is very tender, and the taste is really great." Zhou Yue smiled and said: "I think the taste of this sweet noodle sauce is very unique, and it is a perfect match with the roast duck."

Ji Sihan watched everyone eat so happily, and her heart was filled with joy. She smiled and said: "This Yongzheng Dynasty roast duck is one of our Beijing specialties. Its production process is very particular, and it takes many processes to make such a delicious roast duck. "

Then, another folk artist took the stage. He held a erhu in his hand, sat in the center of the stage, and gently plucked the strings. The melodious sound of the erhu echoed in the courtyard, like crying and complaining, making people intoxicated. Everyone listened to this wonderful music quietly, as if they were brought into a peaceful and beautiful world.

While enjoying the show and tasting roast duck, Luo Lie also told Zhou Yue, Liu Xiaoyan, and Ji Sihan about inviting them to shoot the "Manchester United Oriental Gift Box" promotional video. Zhou Yue and Liu Xiaoyan accepted it immediately and proposed to set the shooting location in Zhou Yue's hometown, Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, and Ji Sihan was a little hesitant to invite Luo Lie and Lina to visit Haicheng and Zhejiang Province, but after hearing that Zhou Yue, Liu Xiaoyan, and Zhang Yiyi had already agreed, she agreed reluctantly under Zhou Yue's instigation. Secretary Lina also took out the contract she had prepared in advance and handed it to the three women. The three women were determined not to accept labor services, but after hearing that Zhang Yiyi had signed the contract and the four of them had the same terms, they all signed the contract under the leadership of Liu Xiaoyan.

"Our club also has a jersey design competition, cooperating with eleven well-known universities in six countries, and we are still short of spokespersons. Are the three beauties interested?" Luo Lie also brought up the issue of spokespersons for the design competition.

"I can't do this. I can't participate." Ji Sihan said first.

"Spokesperson, what do you want to endorse?" Zhou Yue was eager to try and asked.

"It's just to open a show during the game, and then go to the Milan Palace to wear the jersey after the jersey design is completed. "Luo Lie said lightly, like a wolf grandmother luring a little white rabbit.

"You can find Yiyi. Her drama "The Blue Sky of the Rain Cat Girl" is a campus drama, which is just right." Liu Xiaoyan said lightly.

"Yiyi has already agreed. I'm asking you guys. There is not only one spokesperson." Luo Lie glanced at the three girls secretly and said.

"Then I want one too." Liu Xiaoyan blurted out, and after she finished speaking, she seemed to feel something was wrong, and her face turned red.

"This is fun, I want it too, I want it too. "Zhou Yue continued.

After listening to Zhou Yue's words, Liu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Sihan secretly gave Zhou Yue a thumbs up in a place where Luo Lie and Liu Xiaoyan could not see.

After finalizing the promotional video and endorsement, several people continued to taste the food, and the performances on the stage became more and more exciting. There were thrilling acrobatics performed by acrobats, magical magic performed by magicians, and traditional handicrafts displayed by folk artists. Every show amazed everyone, and applause and cheers came one after another.

After eating roast duck, the waiter brought some exquisite snacks and fruits. There are many kinds of snacks, including red bean paste buns, donkey rolls, pea yellow, etc. The fruits are also very fresh, including strawberries, blueberries, watermelons, etc.

Liu Xiaoyan picked up a red bean paste bun and took a bite. The sweet red bean paste filling spread in her mouth, making her feel extremely satisfied. "This red bean paste bun is really delicious, the sweetness is just right, not too greasy. "

Zhou Yue has a special liking for donkey rolls. He picked up a piece of donkey rolls and put it in his mouth. He praised its soft and glutinous texture and sweet taste. "This isDonkey rolls are really delicious. I have never eaten such authentic ones before. "

Lina was also very interested in these snacks. She asked curiously: "What are the meanings of these snacks?" Ji Sihan smiled and explained: "These snacks are traditional Chinese delicacies, and each has its own unique meaning. For example, red bean paste buns symbolize reunion and happiness, and donkey rolls symbolize money rolling in. "

While enjoying snacks and fruits, the group continued their chat. Unknowingly, several hours had passed. Above the courtyard, the sky was dotted with stars. The moonlight was like water, sprinkled in the courtyard, as if covering the entire courtyard with a layer of silver yarn. On this quiet night, the courtyard seemed to be a paradise away from the world, giving people a moment of peace.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when the group returned to the Oriental Culture Hotel Wangfujing in Beijing. The suite where the girls lived was next to Luo Lie's room. After returning to their rooms, Liu Xiaoyan sneaked into Luo Lie's room. The two stayed together for half a night, but in the end Liu Xiaoyan did not stay overnight and sneaked back to her room, like an underground worker.
