You don't understand the happiness of the director
Chapter 111 Director Wang’s Three Palaces and Six Courtyards (3, push for more!)
Jia Duo and Zong Fuli got off the plane and were picked up by Chen Chuling.
"Are you the king's sister?"
"It's true, Brother Quan's father is my uncle, and my mother is my uncle's sister." Chen Chuling communicated with Gadot in proficient English. Because she had had the idea of studying abroad, she practiced her English to the full level.
But Gadot preferred to speak in Chinese. She smoothed the relationship with her fingers and said, "Thank you for coming to pick us up. Where should we go next?"
Chen Chuling was surprised. Although she couldn't understand what she was saying, it must be in Chinese.
Zong Fuli translated Jiaduo's Chinese, and Chen Chuling said, "I have opened a hotel, and all the expenses in the capital will be paid by our company."
Zong Fuli asked, "Your company?"
"It's my cousin's company, Wangdao Pictures."
Zong Fuli nodded secretly, Director Wang was planning to return home sooner or later.
This news is not widely spread. If the Tao boss in the United States heard it, he would probably cry, make trouble, and hang himself.
Wang Quan asked his cousin to arrange the five-star Wangfu Hotel. When he returned to China, he was reluctant to stay. After putting down his luggage, Gadot asked, "When are we going to meet Wang's parents?"
Zong Fuli lay down on the bed and said, "I won't go, I want to rest."
Then Chen Chuling called her former aunt, and the previous scene happened.
Now that Lao Wang is out of town, Mei Yanqiu is a little confused. The main reason is that it may be her daughter-in-law. This kind of creature is naturally at odds with her mother-in-law. What should she be afraid of if she is the son-in-law?
So Mei Yanqiu told Chen Chuling to take the girl around the capital today and tomorrow, and tomorrow night she would arrange a table for everyone to have dinner at the Mei Mansion Banquet.
Gadot was a little disappointed not to be able to see Wang Quan's parents on the first day, but Chen Chuling also explained that Wang Quan's father was out of town and would not come back until tomorrow, which was understandable.
"Are you guys tired? If not, how about we go climb the Great Wall in the afternoon?" Chen Chuling suggested.
Jia Duo was very interested, while Zong Fuli wailed, "My old waist!"
After climbing the Great Wall, Zong Fuli was exhausted. She said she didn’t want to go anywhere tomorrow. Chen Chuling was not much better either. Her back was sore and her legs were numb. She was reaping the consequences. She went to Guijie Street to eat crayfish in the evening, and only Jiaduo ate the big one. I was so addicted that the other two people didn't want to move anymore.
But where is the responsibility, tomorrow Chen Chuling is going to take Gadot to experience the Hutong culture. In the afternoon, he will go to the Forbidden City to have a look. After shopping, he will go to Mei Mansion for a banquet.
"Look, this is my uncle's cinema. This was my brother's favorite place when he was a child." Chen Chuling took Gadot to visit Dawang Cinema. This ancient cinema is equivalent to half a film museum, even if Even if you don’t watch the movie, it’s still very interesting.
"This is a photo of my brother when he was a child." Chen Chuling pointed to a wall.
Now that Director Wang is considered a celebrity, Lao Wang posted some photos of his son when he was a child for tourists to see. The crotch-open photo was removed at Director Wang's strong request.
In the future, Lao Wang still wants to wait until his son retires and he is over a hundred years old to open a King Power Film Museum for his son and stuff his movies into the museum.
Gadot happily took photos of Wang Quan as a child and planned to send them to him when the time comes.
Arriving at the Forbidden City, Gadot said she had watched "The Last Emperor" and said, "This place is exactly like in the movie!"
"Of course, "The Last Emperor" is the last film allowed to be filmed in the Forbidden City. If you want to film Qing Palace scenes in the future, you will have to go to Hengdian."
In the Forbidden City, Gadot learned a new term from Chen Chuling, "Three Palaces and Six Courtyards".
Lingling told her that the houses they just passed by were all occupied by the emperor's women.
Gadot was surprised and asked, "How many wives does the emperor have?"
"There is a saying that there are seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards."
"Seventy-two!" Gadot was horrified, "Can the emperor's body bear it?"
"Seventy-two concubines is an imaginary number. According to historical records, Emperor Qianlong, who lived for more than eighty years, had more than forty concubines, while his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi, who reigned the longest, had more than sixty concubines. "
"That's a lot," Gadot lamented, "Chinese men are so awesome!"
She fully understands this. If the king becomes the emperor, maybe the seventy-two concubines will really be possible. Even if he is not the emperor, Gadot can clearly feel that he is eager to have his own three palaces and six courtyards.
Gadot even thought that during the period when he came out, he would not be dishonest in the Maple Leaf Congress. Ma Ling has been with the group, can he bear it?
"Gadot, let's go have dinner now. Auntie and the others are probably already waiting for us." Chen Chuling interrupted her thoughts.
"Ah, but my gift is still in the hotel."
"It doesn't matter, we can just visit the house again tomorrow. Today is just for a meal."
At the Mei Mansion Banquet, Wang Qiankun and Mei Yanqiu stood together again because of a rare incident, and they were dressed very formally.
Mei Yanqiu originally wanted her second brother Mei Hedong to put aside his duties as a cook and come have dinner together, but he refused.
"Foreigners are probably not used to a big family. Don't scare me anymore, so I won't call you big brother. Today it's just you two, just have a good chat and I'll prepare delicious food for you. Today's table The food must be served by me personally, and I cannot lose the face of our country."
So there are only four people in the private room now, Wang Qiankun, Mei Yanqiu, Jia Duo, and Chen Chuling.
Gadot calls her uncle and aunt, and can also speak a few words in Chinese, which is a special bonus for Wang Mei.
Mei Yanqiu asked, "Are you majoring in Chinese?"
"No, I majored in international law. I minored in Chinese after meeting Wang. I have been studying for three months."
"Wow, you learned quite well then!" Mei Yanqiu praised.
This girl's appearance is really good. Not all foreign women are in line with Chinese aesthetics, but Gadot is obviously the kind of beautiful girl who can conquer Eastern and Western aesthetics. She is also very tall, taller than Lao Wang.
With that said, the food was served, and Mei Yanqiu introduced it to Jia Duo.
"Wang Quan said that you have no dietary restrictions, so I will make arrangements. If you like it, you can eat more, and if you don't like it, just put it aside."
At the Meifu Banquet, meals are served according to "seats" and you eat what you have.
The first thing served was appetizers.
“The first course is hand-made double-flavored dried fruits and two appetizers, and the second course is hand-made bread with basil leaf sauce and Ruyasu sauce for the state banquet.”
Gadot imitated Mei Yanqiu's way of eating. After following Wang Quan for so long, she has become proficient in chopsticks.
After the appetizer and stomach filling, it’s time for dinner.
The next dish Gadot saw was simply a work of art, "This dish is the Yulu Chunrun oyster appetizer."
An oyster that had gone through countless processes was served on a round stone, and the stone was still glowing with fairy spirit.
Just by this look, Gadot was already impressed. There should be nothing like this among the many Western foods she has eaten.
The key point is that it's not only beautiful to look at, but also delicious. Gadot's words were full of heartfelt praise, which her acting skills definitely couldn't match.
Mei Yanqiu was very happy, and then there was a spring-like and extremely beautiful "fresh anchovy and spring bamboo shoots ball".
It was difficult to explain clearly to Gadot, who was new to Chinese, in Chinese, so Mei Yanqiu simply switched to English. The hotel hosted many foreign guests, so English was the most basic and something she could fully master.
"The next ones are yellow croaker stuffed with morels and seven-star pepper fish skin crisps, hand-braised beef shank with white tomato sauce, low-temperature Wagyu beef and charcoal-grilled duck breast..."
If it weren't for the impoliteness of taking photos on such an occasion, Gadot would have really wanted to take a photo and send it to her parents so that they could try it out if they had a chance. Don't think that China is so scary, it's so much fun here.
Gadot was very curious and asked while eating, "Why is such an amazing restaurant not rated by Michelin?"
Mei Yanqiu laughed, "What does a tire seller know about good food? I'm afraid it will lower the quality of my restaurant."
Mei Yanqiu believes that once you fall into the Western evaluation system, it is not up to you to decide whether your food is high-end or low-end, delicious or unpleasant, so she says "No" to Michelin gourmets.
Gadot didn't understand it half-heartedly. She only knew that it was delicious and beautiful.
There were more than 20 dishes in total, and the last dish, Meifu Silver Soup, made Jadot amazed. Wang Quan’s mother said that the thing they ate just now, which was as thin as a hair, was actually cut from a piece of tofu!
This is simply a miraculous workmanship!
"Then the king can also cut it?"
Mei Yanqiu laughed, "He knows how to eat. How can he be such a good knife artist? This requires hard practice. Do you want to see how it is cut?"
"May I?"
So Mei Yanqiu asked one of her second brother's apprentices to come over and show it off. She was the female disciple with good fortune that Lao Wang had told Wang Quan before. Song Piaopiao, who weighed more than 160 kilograms, cut the tofu cubes in his hand horizontally and vertically with ease. , then put it in the water, stir it gently and it turns into countless swaying tofu threads like hair!
Gadot's eyes lit up. This happened in front of her, like magic.
Song Piaopiao put away the knife indifferently, "If you want to learn, I will teach you~"
Gadot shook her head quickly, "I'm afraid of cutting off my hand."
She thought that to practice this technique, she had to cut tofu on the palm of her hand, which would take a lot of time.
Everyone laughed after hearing her explanation.
During this family dinner, Wang Qiankun changed his usual demeanor and became very silent. Mei Yanqiu was the one doing the talking.
It was not until the end that he silently took out a small wooden box with an exquisite shape.
"Gadot, I didn't see you last time when I went to the United States. Today is our first meeting. This is a little thought between me and Wang Quan's mother."
When Jadot opened it, Chen Chuling took a look and took a breath, "Second uncle, foreigners may not like jade."
Wang Qiankun laughed and said, "Maybe in the future I'm from which country. If you like it, just wear it and play with it. If you don't like it, just put it away. It's not worth a lot of money."
"I like it very much. Is this jade?" Gadot weighed the bracelet and pinched it.
Wang Qiankun was frightened when he saw this. My ancestor, please take it easy!
He was thinking about whether to point this little foreigner through the royal power. This thing is actually worth a few dollars.
But obviously no need. When Gadot returned to the hotel, she shared what she had seen today with Zongfu, especially the Chinese food on the table that was more artistic than French food. It was so delicious that she could eat every plate. There was nothing left for Zong Fuli.
"Actually, I thought about bringing you a few dishes, but auntie said that the timing of eating is very important. If the dishes leave the kitchen for too long, they will become farther and farther away from their original taste. She gave me the opportunity to bring them back. You go and eat in person once and don’t charge us any money.”
Zong Fuli asked, "Didn't they give you anything?"
"Oh, yes, this!" Gadot took out the small wooden box. "I like this box very much. The jade inside is also good, but I don't have the habit of wearing this kind of thing. It feels like it will be in the way."
Zong Fuli took it over and looked at it, "The box is really good, it looks like an antique."
"ah?"
"I don't quite understand this," Zong Fuli opened the box and saw the green jadeite inside, "Ouch!"
"What's wrong?"
Zong Fuli carefully picked it up and looked at it again and again, "In our country, if you accept such a valuable thing, it would be difficult not to marry the king."
"Is jade very valuable?"
"The price of jadeite varies depending on the quality and water quality, and this one should be the so-called imperial green. It is the best among jadeites and can be purchased for millions of dollars."
"Ah, so expensive!" Gadot looked at the gift she was going to visit tomorrow and felt it was too shabby.
Zong Fu smiled, "I'm curious, what did Wang Quan say to his parents to make them pay so much attention to you? Could it be that he admitted that you are his girlfriend?"
"I am. There is nothing to deny."
However, Gadot also felt that it was necessary to tell Wang Quan after receiving such a valuable thing. He calculated that it would be noon in the United States, so he called over and explained the jade.
"Oh, that pair of jadeite seems to be from the Republic of China, so it's not a family heirloom." Wang Quan recalled, "I remember that a Hong Kong businessman wanted to buy it for 5 million dollars two years ago. My dad said that I can only sell him one, don’t even think about a pair.”
Gadot's mind was buzzing. In other words, a pair would cost 10 million US dollars!
Thinking of how she had picked it up and thrown it away before, how could she afford to pay for it if it fell to the ground and broke into pieces, unless she kidnapped Zong Fuliguan and demanded a ransom from her father.
"Too expensive!" Gadot said several times.
"So you want to quit?"
Gadot, "Don't retreat!"
What is given to you is yours, and you just have to fulfill your obligations.
Wang Quan smiled and said, "This shows that they are very satisfied with you. If you retreat, it seems that you are not satisfied with them."
"Of course not. I like uncle and aunt very much, but did you say anything to uncle and aunt?"
Wang Quan, "Let's be honest, I said you are my first love."
"Ah, is it true, am I really your first love?" Gadot didn't believe it, he has so much experience.
Wang Quan, "Really, the first time I fell in love was with you."
"Actually, you are also my first love!" Gadot smiled happily, and they went to the right place.
Only Amanda, who was squatting on the ground, was about to cry. Brother, let me take a breath!
Asking for a monthly ticket! ! ! ! !
