Chapter 135 Meet old friends and eat chicken feet
When Lu Yongle and Scott met, Lu Yongle was still holding a tablet and constantly swiping.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Scott entered the box, and what he saw was such a young man who was working hard to "study the questions".
However, when he came in, Lu Yongle quickly realized that he put down his tablet and got up to greet him: "Hey, Scott! Long time no see, I miss you so much!"
As he spoke, he opened his arms and came to hug him, and Scott hugged him without hesitation: "Me too, Max."
"Are you tired? After more than ten hours of flight, let's finish our meal quickly so that you can go back and rest, shall we?"
"It's okay, I slept on the plane, we can follow the normal pace."
After greeting, Lu Yongle led Scott to his seat.This box is actually a standard six-person table, which is still a bit big for two people. Lu Yongle asked Scott to sit next to him, then picked up the menu and began to ask about taboos.
"No, Max." Scott said with a low smile, "but I heard that Huaguo has a lot of things that I haven't tried, so you'd better take it easy. If I can't eat it, you will be miserable. Waste of food isn't it? What a good habit."
"You must have a challenging spirit!" Lu Yongle took a pencil to look down, and immediately hooked up steamed chicken feet, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and durian crisps. .However, the young man didn’t do too much harm. At least he ordered some steamed pork ribs, quicksand buns, roasted squab, rice rolls, fried rice, etc. Generally speaking, it’s a classic signature dish that a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant can order. , basically clicked.
Scott was shocked when he saw him hooking up happily: "Max, who else is coming to dinner?"
"No more." Lu Yongle turned a page, and slowly ordered horseshoe corn water as a drink, "Just the two of us."
"But you order so many dishes?" Scott said helplessly, "Max, I must say, although I know that Huaguo has hospitality, but this is too much."
"Hey, I know you have been to many Chinese restaurants, but you may not know the serving size of tea restaurants." Lu Yongle pressed the call bell while returning.After a while, the waiter came in and took the menu, checked all the important things with him, and then left with a smile.
After Lu Yongle waited for the waiter to go out and close the door, he smiled and said, "Look, she didn't say we ordered too much."
Scott laughed: "They are people who make money, how can they think they have too much money?"
"No, no, this restaurant will remind you, and now many restaurants in Huaguo will remind you like this." Lu Yongle said with a smile, "But you go to very high-end restaurants, so they will not comment. When you When you come to such an ordinary place, you will know that the waiters will be happy to communicate with you and give you advice. After all, no one wants to see food being wasted.”
"Speaking of which, I thought you would go to a place with more privacy." Scott laughed, "I passed by the hall and saw that the outside seemed to be boiling. Isn't it true that a big star like you passes through the crowd? Will it cause a commotion, Max?"
"Then you underestimate the charm of food and friends. People who come here to eat will only focus on drinking and chatting with friends." Lu Yongle said, picking up a baseball cap next to him, "And I'm wearing a hat And masks, no one will notice a passerby."
Scott laughed: "Then they really missed the most beautiful scenery."
"Like I said, I'm not a big star." Lu Yongle stood up with a smile, and found something like a ticket from the coat pocket hanging on the coat rack, "Here, here you are, it's my show tomorrow The on-site ticket. The location and entry time are written on it, and it should be in the front row next to it. I don’t know it very well, but it looks like this.”
Scott took the paper ticket and found that it was mostly Chinese characters, but the only few English letters and Arabic numerals clearly marked the most important information.Scott put the ticket solemnly in the inner pocket of his clothes, and said with a low laugh: "You actually won me a front row seat, I want to watch your performance carefully."
"Uh, but those are all programs in Chinese, maybe I'm wrong and you won't notice..." Lu Yongle scratched his head, hesitated for a moment, and asked again, "Well, Scott, I have a little The problem……"
"Just tell me, Max, don't worry."
"It's like this... I have to apologize to you first." Lu Yongle put his hands together in front of his face and said, "Because the tickets are not easy to get, I accidentally said that I wanted my alumni to come to watch the show live ..."
"Huh?" Scott immediately understood what the young man wanted to say, "That is to say, the program team knows that there will be a UPenn alumnus to watch our child prodigy participate in a wonderful program?"
"...Yes." Lu Yongle looked at Scott without avoiding it at all, "I'm really sorry, Scott."
"And then?" Scott felt that this little alumnus looked a little cute in trembling, like a puppy just born from his family's big dog, crawling around tremblingly while barking.
So Scott pretended to be profound: "You will tell me specifically, there should be something else you want to say?"
"Uh, I can't hide anything from you..." Lu Yongle paused, as if he was mentally prepared, and then said, "That's right, they asked, can they show you a shot of my alumni... don't need you Accept the interview! As long as the camera captures it!"
Scott raised his eyebrows: "That is to say, you want me to be on camera?"
"Uh……"
"Do you know how hard it is for magazines in country A to ask me out?"
"Uh……"
Lu Yongle thought about the hugeness of the Lawrence family, and felt that he was a bit too much, so he patted his forehead and said: "Then what, I didn't say it, I told them not to bring you the camera on purpose, it's not convenient for you to be on the camera... ..."
"Just kidding, Max."
Scott interrupted the young man and smiled at him: "It's my honor to be on camera."
"...Huh?" Lu Yongle was stunned for a moment, "No, no, please stop, I don't need you to embarrass me..."
"No embarrassment." Scott smiled, "I've been thinking about what can be the best gift to celebrate the rest of your life. If I just need to show my face, that's totally fine."
"Ah? Oh! You mentioned this, and I still have to ask you!" Lu Yongle said, "I received a set of Lego of Bugatti supercar a few days ago! The message said it was 'an alumni from the other side of the ocean', it must be you Give it to me?"
"Huh? Just arrived?" Scott said indifferently, "I don't know what you like. I decided after asking other people's opinions. If you are not in the mood to fight, I will ask a Lego puzzler to come to help me another day." You just have to fight it out."
"No no, why did you suddenly want to give me a gift?" Lu Yongle said, "There is an old saying in Huaguo, which translates to 'no reward without merit'..."
"Didn't I just say, to celebrate your surviving life after the catastrophe?" Scott said with a low smile, "Actually, I asked your family if I needed to transfer you to another hospital, but your family replied that you are safe and don't worry , that's why I exchanged a present for you."
"Huh?" Lu Yongle was stunned for a moment, "I didn't even know there was this paragraph!"
"Your family must have been in a panic at the time. It's normal to forget what an outsider said. Your safety is the best thing." Scott laughed, "So, give me a chance to give you a gift? I read your Weibo Come on, others have given you gifts, you should treat your friends equally, shouldn't you?"
"..." Lu Yongle was speechless, "You made me feel a little bit irrefutable. The people sitting at the negotiating table with you must be very unlucky. It's hard for them not to be persuaded by you."
"Yes, you are right, Max." Scott smiled, "So, accept the Lego I gave you with peace of mind, and then tell the program crew that you can photograph me, it doesn't matter."
"Well, are you sure?" Lu Yongle blinked, "Don't you want to call your PR team or lawyer to confirm?"
"This is just my private event, and I don't need to confirm with them." Scott replied, "I'm just going as an alumni, and I won't introduce my work. What's the problem? I can even make a short speech, As long as they don’t think I don’t speak Chinese.”
Lu Yongle looked into his eyes: "Are you sure?"
"Of course, Max, I didn't lie to you."
"...Okay, I will tell the program team." Lu Yongle said, "It seems that you are here to help me a lot. I should take you to a more high-end restaurant today."
"No, it's good here." Scott laughed. "I like places that tell customers 'what you ordered is enough'. It's much better than those formal high-end restaurants, isn't it?"
Lu Yongle looked into the man's eyes, and suddenly said: "I have to say, Scott, if you really go to the show to speak, you will definitely steal my limelight. Even if you don't talk about your work, everyone will watch it." When you come out, you must be a big boss somewhere."
"What does that matter?" Scott laughed, "Just like you can still go back and forth in such a lively restaurant, I have nothing to pay attention to in Huaguo, and no one knows me. I just Your alumni, Max."
Lu Yongle murmured and sighed: "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife..."
"What, Max?"
"No." Lu Yongle replied, "By the way, in this program, there is a college student who was in country A before. He is the real child prodigy. I participated in competitions when I was young and never beat him. Or , he can always beat everyone to take No.1. I have to say, if he is still studying in country A, he will at least be a member of the Ivy League."
"Really?" Scott laughed, "It seems that I will definitely not understand the topic of your quiz tomorrow. I pray that my alumnus will not sit in the audience like a fool and embarrass you..."
While talking, the waiter knocked on the door again and finally came to serve the food.
After one serving, some palm-sized steamers and classic white plates were placed one by one in front of the two of them.Drinks are also good, two glasses with straws and spoons are placed at the two of them.
The waiter left after serving the dishes. Scott glanced at the dishes on the table, and soon discovered that the little alumni had done something wrong.
"What is this, Max? I have a bad feeling."
Lu Yongle chuckled.
"That's a chicken paw, Scott."
