013: The old man from China
Qin Tao tried to calm himself down again and again, but the excitement in his heart never lingered.I looked at the clock on the wall and it was six o'clock.Qin Tao could only suppress the excitement in his heart and look for something to eat to fill his stomach.
Opened the refrigerator and found nothing but bread and milk.Looking at Master Kang's braised beef noodles next to the refrigerator, Qin Tao's stomach felt like it was rolling outwards. 'I've been eating this for almost half a year!Really disgusting. '
There are still four packets of instant noodles brought from China, but Qin Tao will not eat them no matter what.Thinking that I have already learned English, why don't I go out for a walk?The bloodshot steak I ate at noon still seems a little disgusting. 'It might be good to find a Chinese restaurant outside to have a meal! '
'Thank you for your company for more than half a year, Master Kong Braised Beef Noodles, let us say goodbye today! Qin Tao called Zhang Jie excitedly.If you want to go out for a walk, how can you do without a local tour guide?Qin Tao first thought of Zhang Jie.
"Hey, Zhang Jie! Where are you now? Have you eaten? Are you free now?" Qin Tao said excitedly in English that he had just mastered.
Hearing it was Qin Tao's voice, Zhang Jie's heart twitched fiercely, "This is still human!He learned English so quickly?Still authentic American accent. '
"Hey, Zhang Jie, can you hear me?" Qin Tao asked tentatively seeing that there was no response on the phone for a long time.
'No wonder he can become the head coach of the Lakers at such a young age, this is a monster! ' Zhang Jie cursed secretly in his heart.But at this moment, he was relieved and said: "I'm at home now, I haven't eaten yet! What's the matter, Qin."
"Uh! It's nothing, I just want you to take me to find an authentic Chinese restaurant to have a good meal. The milk-smelling things I ate at noon are still nauseating." Qin Tao frowned unhappy He said that Qin Tao is really not used to eating in the United States.
"Oh, okay, I'll drive to pick you up right away."
"Well, hurry up, I can't wait to go out now. You have to know that it feels so good to step on the broken language of foreign devils." Qin Tao is still immersed in the joy of breaking through his biggest nightmare in 18 years just now .
"Okay, I'll be there soon." Zhang Jie said in a hurry, hung up the phone, and rushed to Qin Tao's residence. He didn't guarantee that Qin Tao's mind was fine.
******
"You're not normal!" Qin Tao yelled at Zhang Jie while sitting in a Chinese restaurant called 'A Thousand Miles Meet'.
"Uh... no, I mean you're learning English a little fast!" Zhang Jie looked at Qin Tao in front of him and couldn't believe it. He couldn't say a single word this morning except 'YES, NO' The standard Qin Tao can now speak such standard and fluent English.
"Zhang Jie, I told you that I am a genius." Qin Tao said pretending to be 13.
Zhang Jie picked up the green tea on the table and took a sip. The fragrance of green tea lingered in his mouth. "Hey! Now I understand why Mitch chose you as the head coach of the Lakers. You are indeed a genius."
Sensing Zhang Jie's sudden loss, Qin Tao said, "Zhang Jie, what's wrong?"
"Your English is even better than mine, why do you need me as a translator? Looks like I'm going to find another job!"
"Zhang Jie, did I say that I don't need you? Don't you think that the head coach still needs a secretary?" Qin Tao said after drinking the tea in his cup in one gulp.
"Secretary? Can I do it?"
"Hehe! What's wrong, do you think I have to read so many materials every day, don't you need you to help me take care of them? And my brother, I don't have a US license, so you let me ride a bicycle to the arena every day?" Qin Tao joked Said.
"Okay, then it's settled, Mr. Qin."
"Ha ha."
Qin Tao and Zhang Jie ate and chatted in full swing.An old man in Tang suit sat at the table next to them.In front of the old man was a plate of roast duck and a bottle of Moutai.He only ate two mouthfuls of the roast duck, drank only half a glass of wine, and looked pensive while holding the chopsticks.
'Can this young man learn English in a day?This learning ability is really strong!Wait for a while to see how his roots and conduct are, if he passes the test.Let him be my successor abroad!The domestic situation is still not very optimistic!well! After making a decision, the old man drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.Pay the bill and leave.
Qin Tao didn't realize that he was being watched by someone and chatted with Zhang Jie very happily.
"Your drinker is pretty good. Wait, brother, I'll go to the toilet and come back to drink." Qin Tao stood up dizzily.
"Okay, Qin Tao. The team has a game tomorrow, so you should rest! Why don't you go back and prepare?" Zhang Jie stopped.
"Okay, okay, let's talk when we come back! I'll go to the toilet first." Qin Tao said with a bit of tongue.After finding the direction of the toilet, I reluctantly walked over.
"Huhu. I'm bloated to death." After draining the water.After Qin Tao washed his face, he suddenly became sober. That's when he found a finger puller on the washstand.Even Qin Tao, a novice who has no research on antiques, knows that this is a good thing. It feels warm and moist in his hands, and it seems to have a refreshing effect, which makes him sober up a lot.
'Such a good thing, we accept it ourselves? This thought flashed through Qin Tao's mind.But in the end he restrained himself from thinking like this, 'We are also rich now, so we shouldn't share such petty bargains anymore. '
After looking closely for a while, Qin Tao found that the word "Hong" was engraved on the inner side of the finger.Although he didn't know what it meant, he also realized that it might be a family tradition.After thinking for a while, Qin Tao put the wrench back to its original position.After putting down the finger, Qin Tao walked back.When he walked to the door of the toilet, an old man in Tang suit passed by Qin Tao.
"Hey! Young man, is this finger wrench yours?" A loud voice came from the toilet.
Qin Tao looked back, and saw that the old man was holding the finger wrench just now. "No, old man, this finger is not mine. I think you should put it here! The owner should find it himself."
"Haha! Boy, this finger ring is mine. Just kidding you."
Upon hearing the old man's words, Qin Tao suddenly became a little angry, "Old man, you shouldn't do this as a prank, right?"
"No, no. Young man, don't be angry. This is just a test. Obviously you have passed this test. Now I want to ask you, are you interested in learning Chinese martial arts? Do you want me to be your teacher?" The old man rubbed his chin and said with a smile , he had already seen Qin Tao's qualifications when he passed by Qin Tao just now.It's not the best, but it's above average.
"Uh!" Qin Tao took a closer look, and found that the old man seemed to have a sense of immortality. "May I know what's the benefit of this?"
"There are many benefits, but you won't realize it until you learn it." The old man said, "I don't have much time, so you should be decisive and give me an answer."
Countless possibilities flashed through Qin Tao's mind in an instant, and finally he remembered the finger pull before, that was definitely a good thing!A flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said, "I agree."
"Okay, come to 'Kenin Park' not far from here at four o'clock tomorrow morning and I will wait for you there. Don't be late, I don't like people who are late." After finishing speaking, the old man left.He seemed to be walking very slowly, but he quickly disappeared from Qin Tao's sight.
After such a small episode, Qin Tao was not in the mood to drink with Zhang Jie anymore, and after paying the bill, he took a taxi back home in a hurry.Back home, Qin Tao still couldn't figure out, what is the purpose of this old man from China?
