Chapter 68

"Mei ran, long time no see."

A ten-year-old man came in a white suit. The hair is slightly short and looks very energetic. He is 1.78 meters tall and thin. However, with his black eyes, it was a bit polite. As soon as she entered the door, she fixed her eyes on Su Meiran, who was wearing a dark green dress, and said gently.

"Sit down, Mr. Zhou." Su Meiran reluctantly squeezed out a smile and opened a stiff way.

"Just call me a lone tree." The man who came in found a place to sit down and said politely to Su Meiran with a smile. Tone, naturally revealed a taste of elegance.

"This is my brother Su Gang." Su Meiran pointed to Su Gang and then to Xiao Yi. She hesitated and said, "this is my friend Xiao Yi."

Zhou Dushu immediately looked at Su Gang and Xiao Yi in the room. With a brilliant smile, he showed his white teeth and politely said hello: "Hello, you two. I'm Zhou Dushu. I just came back from America."

Su Gang reluctantly laughed, nodded and said hello. It was Xiao Yi, but he didn't give Zhou Dushu face at all. He just put on a face and didn't want to hum.

Su Meiran immediately noticed the embarrassment in the room and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, this Manyu tea shop combines Chinese and Western flavors perfectly. Mr. Zhou, what would you like to eat and drink? Help yourself

Su Meiran, after all, is a smart woman. This remark is not too kind, but it is not the feeling of rejecting others. After all, this blind date is decided by parents. She is Su Meiran, but she doesn't dare to be too presumptuous.

"Good, good, excellent." Zhou Dushu seems to think Su Meiran is considerate and considerate. Choosing such a place is to take care of each other's flavor. After taking the menu, he immediately said, "I'll order an American T-bone steak, which I often eat at Washington University. The taste is oily but not greasy, and the color is very beautiful. Medium rare T-bone steak has a bit of biting strength. You can all have a try. "

"Order to order, or the sandwich steak, what's good?" As soon as Xiao Yi heard that it was this kind of sandwich steak again, he immediately looked reluctant.

"Mr. Li, this steak is really common sense." Zhou Dushu had a good memory, so he called out Xiao Yi's surname, and then he said, "to make this T-bone steak, first take 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then heat the T-bone steak in a pan until it is as raw and cooked as you like. Take it out and place it in the main dish. Then, stir fry onion and bacon, soften and pour into red wine. Finally, evaporate the alcohol, add a little yellow cream, mix it into gravy, and season it properly. When using, pour it on T-bone steak

As if there were no one else to talk about it, Zhou Dushu was even more proud and continued to show off his knowledge: "this T-bone steak has the charm of red wine. In this kind of situation, the most suitable point

What Xiao Yi has heard is sleepy, and he has no interest in this kind of cuisine. Immediately, hem ha Xi said lazily, "it seems that you are the chef, aren't you? So good at making this kind of steak

"Chef?" Zhou Dushu was stunned, and then his face was in full bloom. He raised his sharp chin slightly and said with pride, "how can I be a chef when I come back from my doctoral degree at Washington University? I have a doctorate in management. I'm going to take over the family business after returning home. As for this cuisine, I taught myself in my spare time. "

"Oh." Xiao Yi low should a, for Zhou Dushu's enthusiasm, he just should a basin of cold water.

"Mei ran, I saw you when I was a child. I haven't seen you for so many years. You are more and more beautiful. Fortunately, you didn't get married. The first thing I want to do when I come back home is to find you. " Zhou Dushu doesn't bother to pay attention to Xiao Yi, the chattering local buns. He hands the menu to Su Meiran and starts to chat up.

"Is it?" Su Mei answered absentmindedly, and then looked at the menu.

Su Meiran was slightly disgusted with this kind of family marriage. With Su Meiran's special permission to look at people, we can see that this week's Dushu is as proud and complacent as she was when she was a child. As soon as he came in, he began to show off his knowledge.

This let Su Meiran, from the bottom of her heart began to hate this week alone.

"Meiran, what have you been doing all these years? Do you have any hobbies? I'll have some activities after dinner Zhou Dushu stares at Su Meiran, who is buried in the menu. His eyes are even hotter, and he takes the initiative to chat up.

"I don't have any hobbies. I help my family take care of the company." Su Meiran raised her head slightly and answered politely.

"Girls, it's better to have more hobbies. "Zhou Dushu sighed alone, and then began to speak:" I have been abroad these years, and I have been accepting the advanced western cultural knowledge all the year round, but my interests and hobbies... "

"Come on, come on." Xiao Yi interrupted this week Dushu's words, his eyes slightly cold, and asked himself: "what is the perennial acceptance of western advanced cultural knowledge, is our local culture not advanced?"Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Su Gang nodded his head. Most people don't like the vanity of worshiping foreign countries. Even Sue's eyebrows frowned absently.

"That's not what I mean, Mr. Li." Zhou Dushu raised his head and looked at Xiao Yi who had been fighting against him. There was a flash of anger on his face, but in the end he suppressed his emotions and opened his tranquil way: "

's native culture has its essence. Over the years, I have been involved in Chinese music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as the meaning of ancient Chinese classics, and even acupuncture and moxibustion. "

"Oh, Mr. Zhou is a great talent." As soon as Su Gang heard that Dushu had been involved in such a wide range this week, he immediately asked, "I don't know, Mr. Zhou, can you talk about what he has been involved in recently?"

"Calligraphy, naturally, is Chinese calligraphy." Zhou Dushu didn't have stage fright at all. Instead, he immediately began to talk with complacency: "recently, I have studied Xiaozhuan in the field of Chinese calligraphy, and I have a lot of experience. Since the Qin Dynasty unified the six countries and unified the Chinese characters, Xiaozhuan has become popular as a popular font. I recently read an ancient calligraphy book of the Qin Dynasty, the book of Chen Jihe, which really made me marvel. The strokes are complex and the form is ancient. The shape is rectangular, and the structure is symmetrical, giving people the feeling of tall and beautiful. I have to sigh for the profoundness of Chinese characters. In my opinion, this book of Chen Jihe by Zhao Zhiqian is indeed a treasure of the famous Chinese people. "

These words really showed Zhou Dushu's profound knowledge. That Su's elder sister and younger brother, this meeting is both Leng Leng Shen, in the eye flitted a silk to amaze. It seems that this week's only big dandy is not ignorant. In my stomach, I really have a little proud capital.

"Mr. Zhou is really erudite. Mei ran admires him." Su Meiran raised her head to praise Zhou Dushu.

"I don't dare to be, but I've been involved in a lot these years. Once in a while, I just have some experience. " Zhou Dushu's face was full of vitality, and his whole heart was floating above the clouds. Show off for so long, and finally won the praise of the beauty.

But unexpectedly, just when Zhou Dushu was complacent. But Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing. He bent forward and held up, and his forehead bumped into the table in front of him.

"Mr. Li, what are you laughing at?" Zhou Dushu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Xiao Yi more and more.

"I laugh at you, ridiculous." Xiao Yi took a deep breath and stopped his laughter. Then, he looked at Su Meiran and said, "stupid woman, you admire him for a fart."

Just now, Zhou Dushu's words made a fool of others. There is absolutely no problem. There are not many people involved in the ancient calligraphy of Xiaozhuan. However, Xiao Yi is different. He copied ancient scriptures from childhood and reached a supreme height in calligraphy. Just now, Zhou Dushu's words fell to Xiao Yi's ears like a big joke.

"Laugh at me?" As soon as Zhou Dushu's face turned green, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "since you dare to laugh at me, then Mr. Li will say one two three. I'm Zhou Dushu. No one has laughed at me for years. "

"I just laugh at you." Xiao Yi would stare at the opposite Zhou Dushu and say coldly: "since you want to talk about one two three, then you can listen to me. The book of Chen Jihe, which was just published in ancient Chinese, is not what you just said. The calligraphy of Qin Dynasty is not the spread of Xiaozi. Although Zhao Zhiqian was a famous calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty. But this is not his. Chen Jihe Shu is the running script of Deng Shiru, a famous calligrapher in Qing Dynasty. Do you think it's funny to show off when you just talked nonsense

In the end, Xiao Yi raised the volume. Every word, with a supreme momentum, seems to be able to crack the general, full of power.

Talking about calligraphy with Xiao Yi, that is, playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

"Hum." However, Zhou Dushu snorted coldly and said with a rebellious face: "what do you say is what? In my opinion, it was Zhao Zhiqian of the Qin Dynasty. "

"It's no fun trying to be reasonable." Xiao Yi gave a sneer, then looked at Zhou Dushu in front of him and asked in a loud voice, "then tell me what the book of Chen Jihe specifically wrote?"

Hearing Xiao Yi's questioning, Zhou Dushu's forehead was in a cold sweat. After a long silence, his face became more and more ugly. The so-called "book of Chen Jihe" only occasionally turns over a few pages in case it is not for show off. If you tell me one, two, three, then Zhou Dushu really can't tell.

"Then tell me, what does the book of Chen Jihe talk about?" Zhou Dushu was not weak, but asked Xiao Yi.

"Listen up." Without fear, Xiao Yi immediately spoke and calmly replied, "Deng Shiru has two cranes at home. The two cranes are said to be at least 130 years old. One day, the female crane died. Only ten days later, Deng's first wife, Shen, also died one after another. This coincidence produced a lot of associations among the literati at that time.

Deng Shiru, 59, is extremely sad, and the male crane is also singing in isolation. He lives with him. Unable to bear to see the sad and sorrowful appearance of the crane, Deng Shiru chose Jixian Guan Buddhist temple 30 miles away to foster the crane in the monk's house. Since then, he has been carrying grain and feeding cranes for 30 miles, and has been persistent every month. Suddenly, another day, he was living in Daming Temple in Yangzhou. He got the news that the male crane was favored by the Anqing magistrate and was taken back to the mansion. He immediately set out to return to Anqing and wrote "the book of Chen Jihe" in running script. He wrote to the magistrate about SuoheThis long allusion comes slowly in Xiao Yi's mouth, and all the people here are absorbed in it. At the same time, Su Meiran and Su Gang have determined that every bit of Chen Jihe's book is true. It's all nonsense.

They looked at Zhou Dushu suspiciously, with a trace of contempt in their eyes. Zhou Dushu's face turned red, and his thin, pointed face immediately looked like a monkey's butt.

"Zhou Dushu, Zhou read." Xiao Yi would stare at Zhou Dushu in front of him and ponder: "your parents didn't give you the wrong name. They want you to read more books every week. But you are not obedient. Now, do you know what your problem is? Your problem is that you don't read much, think too much and talk too much. "
