Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 349 This person, don't be too shameless

"You can try our 'five yuan meal'." The waiter suggested.

"'Five Yuan Meal'? Please introduce it." He Ping said politely.

"You can try crock pot beef + bread slices + red cabbage soup, or capital salad + red oil mushroom soup + grilled sausage-bread slices, and red braised small sausages + coachman salad + cream grilled mix + cherries Ice cream, these dishes are basically not matched, so it is called a five-yuan meal."

The waiter was proficient in his business, and he was sloppy when he reported the name of the dish. At the same time, he also explained to He Ping why it was called "five yuan meal".

He Ping looked at Mao Chunhua. She was holding the menu and didn't know what to order, so she said, "Then order two as he recommended."

He Ping said to the waiter, "Order one of the last two set meals you just mentioned."

"Okay." The waiter stepped back.

While waiting for the dishes, Mao Chunhua observed the guests in the restaurant.

"He Ping, look, there are foreigners!"

"In the past, only a few foreign affairs personnel and foreign friends were accepted here, and domestic customers were not accepted here. It has only started to accept domestic customers in the past two years." He Ping explained to Mao Chunhua.

"That's it!"

The two whispered together, and after a while, the waiter began to serve the dishes.

"Chunhua, how about trying the food here?"

Mao Chunhua imitated He Ping's way of using a knife and fork unfamiliarly. She took a bite of the sausage, with a smile on her face: "It's delicious!"

He Ping looked at her smiling face and was happier than he ate it.

While the two of them were eating, He Ping suddenly heard a rough and loud voice, yelling from the moment they entered the door.

It sounded familiar to him, but when he looked in the direction of the sound, was it familiar? It turned out to be Jiang Wen, whom he had met in Beijing Opera before.

There is also an acquaintance by his side - Cong Shan, the actress of "The Wrangler".

Seeing him turn his head, Mao Chunhua asked, "What's wrong?"

"People you know."

Cong Shan also saw him at this time, with a little surprise on her face, she came up to say hello.

"Teacher Ho!"

"Cong Shan, hello!" He Ping greeted her, and introduced her: "This is my wife, Mao Chunhua."

"Chunhua, this is Cong Shan, the heroine of "The Wrangler."

He Ping introduced the two of them, and Mao Chunhua greeted Cong Shan, who was as shy as before.

"Why did you come here to eat today?"

Cong Shan shyly said: "My classmate Jiang Wen, he said to celebrate the release of my movie and invited me to dinner."

Jiang Wen, who was caught by CUE, immediately greeted He Ping with a smile, "Hello, Teacher He! Hello, Mrs. He!"

This kid is really shameless!
But instead of hitting the smiling face, He Ping smiled and said, "Hello, Jiang Wen, we meet again."

Seeing that He Ping still remembered him, Jiang Wen immediately climbed up the pole, "It's really fate, Mr. He. Otherwise, let's have dinner together today."

He Ping looked at Mao Chunhua, then at Cong Shan, "Forget it, it's not convenient today, next time."

He Ping simply refused, Jiang Wen felt a little regretful, but he didn't feel ashamed at all, he was just like that.

Cong Shan said, "Mr. He, then I won't disturb you and your lover for dinner."

"Okay, next time I have a chance to invite you and Lao Mao to have dinner alone."

Cong Shan and Jiang Wen were ushered to another table by the waiter.

Mao Chunhua asked, "Why do they call you Teacher He?"

"Didn't I help director Xie Jin adapt the script before, and I also helped cast the actors. At that time, I went to the Beijing Opera to interview them, so I called the teacher. The young man is not familiar with me, just met him once. Cong Shan knows me better, and I At that time, I also told her about the script with the actor Zhu Shimao."

Mao Chunhua let out an "oh" and said seemingly unintentionally: "This little girl looks so pretty!"

He Ping was instantly alert, "Does it look good? I think it's average, with a bun face. When Director Xie Jin chose her, I wasn't too satisfied."

When Mao Chunhua heard what he said, a smile appeared on his face, "Why do you say that, the little girl looks pretty."

"Yes, yes, it is as good as you say it is."

"That boy is really old. Cong Shan even said he was her classmate."

He Ping joked: "This kid has a 20-year-old face at the age of 40, and he will have a bright future in the future."

Whether it is in later generations or now, he is quite disgusted with Jiang Wen's character, and he always has an inexplicable sense of superiority, but this does not prevent him from appreciating certain qualities in him.

Such as being funny, such as shameless, such as talent in drama.

The two continued to eat.

And at the dining table on the other side, Jiang Wen, who had invested heavily, finally showed his true colors, "Cong Shan, Director Xie agreed to let me play the leading actor in his next play, when you saw Director Xie Remind him for me, I'm afraid he will forget."

Originally Jiang Wen wanted to invite her to dinner, and Cong Shan was still a little embarrassed, but when Jiang Wen said it was to celebrate the release of her movie, she couldn't refuse for a while, so she agreed.

As a result, as soon as the food and wine were on the table, just as she wanted to eat, Jiang Wen tried to show her off, which made her lose interest in the dishes that were originally delicious.

It's just talk, but you take it seriously, Cong Shan cursed.

"Okay, next time I see Director Xie, I must tell him."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Jiang Wen said cheerfully to Cong Shan, "Come here, let's eat vegetables. Lao Mo's place is quite expensive, so you have to pay back your money. It's a pity that their silver tableware is gone."

Cong Shan came to Lao Mo for dinner for the first time, and she didn't know where Jiang Wen's sigh came from, so she buried herself in the food.

"Hey, by the way, Cong Shan. Are you familiar with that Teacher He?" Jiang Wen asked her.

"I'm not very familiar with it. I met it during the audition, and then I explained the script to us at the guest house." Cong Shan was afraid that Jiang Wen would make something wrong again, so she hurriedly dismissed it.

Jiang Wen is smarter than a monkey, "Don't lie to me, he just invited you to dinner with 'Lao Mao', I know Lao Mao, he is the hero of your movie, and you still say you don't know him well?"

Cong Shan was outspoken by Jiang Wen, "I'm just being polite, I can't take it seriously."

"I don't believe it, you just don't want to help. Sigh, thanks to the fact that I'm still happy for your movie release, I spent more than a month's food expenses to treat you to dinner, and you just treat me like this." Seeing that Cong Shan didn't give in, Jiang Wen started to play Moral kidnapping.

Where is Cong Shan his opponent? Jiang Wen couldn't bear it anymore, "It's not that I don't want to help, I just, I just..."

"You just what?"

Cong Shan racked her brains and felt that she was definitely no match for Jiang Wen. She said dejectedly, "Forget it! If I have dinner with him next time, I'll call you up."

Jiang Wen's weeping face immediately brightened, and he picked up vegetables for Cong Shan: "Come on, eat more, look at you, you are too thin."

Cong Shan had a look of grievance and helplessness, how could I have such a shameless classmate.
