Chapter 931: Good wine, good food

Dalton Williams stepped off the plane with a mixed mood.
This is the first time in his life that he has set foot on this mysterious land in the East, and for this mission, he originally came unwillingly.
According to legend, the land of the East is barren and backward, and the people are even more ignorant. Although they are on the same blue star, comparing their country and its nominal sovereign state, Britain, it is almost like being in two worlds.
But who made him an insignificant little person?
There is no prominent family background, and no dazzling education. He is a marginal person who can only survive in the corner of the office.
It's a pity that he is still a small person at the age of declining.
Therefore, this is the reason why I will fly over the ocean to supervise and dispose of a pile of on this barren land. Only this kind of task that is rejected by everyone in this department will choose me.
He originally wanted to refuse, but he thought he still had a high mortgage loan to repay, he thought of the high tuition fees of three children who were still in school, and he thought of his wife's exposure to the newly listed 29-inch Sony color TV when he was visiting the mall. His longing eyes...he couldn't refuse.
At least, there is an overseas travel allowance to get.
This is his only ambition for this trip to China.
It’s not true. I heard from my colleagues who travel frequently. The poorer the country, the more likely it is to encounter some charming affair, because a little pocket money of oneself is likely to mean a huge amount of wealth to the people of this country, and He has also seen from the common sense of China’s temporary misfortunes that, not far from the destination of his business trip, there is an oriental gold-selling cave, perhaps, in a six-month difficult travel life. In, you can go there and relax...
With such a complicated mood, Dalton walked out of the arrival hall, but he was a little dazed by the scene he saw.
On a huge banner,
Welcome Mr. Dalton Williams, an international friend, to guide our work.
In both Chinese and English, there are still a neat row of elementary school students standing, regardless of boys or girls. Wearing two round blushes, a bright red scarf tied on his chest, and a bunch of plastic flowers neatly waving in his hand, he also neatly shouted "Welcome welcome, warm welcome."
This is... to welcome yourself?
Dalton's heart flashed a momentary move.
A familiar face appeared in front of him, it was Cao Hongxi, the deputy director of Huangpu Shipyard.
"Mr. Dalton, welcome, you have worked hard all the way, come here, please." Cao Hongxi greeted him in half-baked loose English, greeted him warmly and shook hands tightly with him.
Dalton was obviously a little unprepared for this kind of scene that only appeared occasionally in the TV news. However, he barely calmed his mind. While greeting Cao Hongxi, he walked out surrounded by other people who came to greet him. At the airport, I got on a Santana.
He knows this old-fashioned car, because he also has one in his family. In Austria, this car made by West Hans is already outdated. However, for this business trip, he took the time to make up for the basics of China. According to the situation, he knew that this was a standard Huaxia official car. Without a certain level, it would not be able to ride.
It seems that Huaxia still attaches great importance to this trip. Then, the six months he will spend here may not be so difficult.
I have to say that Dalton is actually a very dedicated person. When he got off the plane, he didn't go to the hotel first but went to work directly. At his request, Director Cao had to take him to the Changzhou Island berth of the Whampoa Shipyard where the "Melbourne" was parked, and Dalton spared no effort to get on the boat to check carefully and confirm again. He disembarked after he had no valuable equipment left on the ship, and began to discuss the next demolition plan and execution schedule with Director Cao.
After going back and forth like this, the time soon arrived in the evening. Director Cao said immediately that Mr. Dalton was a guest from afar, and China is a hospitable country, so Mr. Dalton must be picked up in the evening.
China is a poor country, but Dalton, who had made up for the common sense of this country some time ago, knows that here, there are all Blue Star’s most superb cooking skills and famous Chinese food.
And Guangnan, where he is now, is the most representative city on the China Food Map.
So he is still full of expectations for the next dinner arranged by the host.
This can be regarded as one of the small benefits of a business trip to China.
As a local native, Director Cao, how could he disappoint the noble Mr. Dalton?
Of course, we have to choose a good place for the banquet. When Dalton got off the car with Cao Hongxi and looked up and saw the sign at the entrance of the hotel that read "Ronghua Building, beginning in 1876", he knew that he would be able to feast on tonight.
According to the Chinese tradition, there must be several escorts to invite important guests to dinner, and it is no exception to receive distinguished guests like Mr. Dalton.
Dalton, who entered the private room of the hotel, discovered that he was not the only guest today. Under the introduction of Director Cao, he met Mr. Kevin, the commercial director of a shipping company in Hong Kong.
Mr. Kevin is about 40 years old, about the same age as Dalton. Although he also has yellow skin, he has a fluent and standard London accent. According to his own introduction, he is here today to negotiate with the Huangpu Shipyard to buy a freighter. This is not the first time he has dealt with Huangpu Shipyard, so he and Director Cao seem to be quite familiar with each other, and the conversation between them is also very casual. Of course, Dalton does not understand them at all. What are you talking about.
After introducing the people present, it was natural to be scrambling. Dalton was the first time he ate authentic Chinese food and also the first time he experienced this kind of Chinese restaurant. His performance was somewhat restrained. Fortunately, Kevin was obviously very familiar with this kind of occasion. From time to time to help him introduce the origins of the famous dishes, from time to time to remind him of some small details that should be paid attention to on the table, and even take the initiative to translate the conversations between several Chinese people to him, which made Dalton unavoidable I have a good feeling for this new acquaintance Kevin.
Wine is good wine, food is good food, and the host is so passionate. After Dalton has made three glasses of Chinese specialty liquor in response to the host’s kindness, he suddenly felt that this trip to China may not have his imagination. It’s hard.
Soon, he was melted by the fragrant Moutai...
