074 Invisible Pretend

Seeing the eldest lady of the Ren family coming, not only Wencai showed her beautiful eyes, but Zhou Bufan couldn't help but take a few glances. He couldn't even imagine the characters who had seen big movies since childhood.
Of course, it is definitely wrong to look at people so straightforwardly in the Chinese people's perception. I accidentally offended this little arrogant lady and was stared at her.
After the few people sat down, the waiter delivered the menu and used all in English. The master and apprentice were confused. It was certain that Mr. Ren could not understand it. Even the eldest lady Ren only understood a small part of it, but these two people were more good at pretending.
I have to say that the Chinese people of this era really admire Western culture to the extreme. They clearly opened tea restaurants in China, and 90% of the people who came in were Chinese, but they didn’t even print Chinese on the menu.
It can only be said that after the decline of national strength to the extreme, the cultural confidence has been completely wiped out. It seems that many knowledgeable people of this era advocate the complete abolition of Chinese characters, which is really helpless.
"Brother Zhou, can't you understand these foreign articles?" Seeing that Zhou Bufan had read the menu for a long time, Wen Cai asked mysteriously.
"This foreign language can be understood. However, as a restaurant that opens in China, most of the customers who come to the store are Chinese. In fact, Chinese should be printed. Of course, this tea restaurant can also print it in English in order to align with the international community. This makes it more convenient for customers to order food. No matter how you say that customers in the catering service industry are God."
Zhou Bufan's words made everyone present unable to react.
"Precaution if you don't understand?" Miss Ren murmured in a low voice.
"Tingting doesn't talk nonsense, it will make people laugh." Mr. Ren reminded.
"How can he talk nonsense? He just talks nonsense, just say something that others don't understand."
“… Actually, this latte comes from Italian milk, so it’s a little wrong with this menu.”
Zhou Bufan's words made Miss Ren turn her head angrily, but she was thinking secretly whether this guy really understood or pretended to understand, but he was too good at pretending.
The waiter was even more depressed and came here to drink twice as much coffee. In order to show off in front of the beautiful woman, he actually said so much nonsense, which is really annoying.
"...Well, I will respond to the manager's comments. What do you want to drink?"
"Forget it, just like them."
"Okay sir!"
"etc!"
"What else do you have to tell me?"
"Brother, I smelled the smell of the fried bread on the street before. Please help me buy some fried bread. I haven't eaten it for a long time, but I've tasted it to death." Hearing Zhou Bufan's words, the waiter's face looked a little ugly.
However, after seeing Zhou Bufan give a tip of 5 pounds, his unhappy expression disappeared.
"Sir, please wait, I'll come here." The waiter quickly left and helped buy the fried bread, but several people looked at Zhou Bufan like monsters.
Of course, Mr. Ren also recognized the pound. To be honest, he was surprised how rich the young man's family was. The value of five pounds was enough to exchange thirty silver dollars in the bank.
This is definitely not to pretend to be for others to see. It is because it is really not short of money. It is definitely not to deceive people. It is because it is really not caring.
Moreover, the whole process did not give people a feeling of being arrogant, but secretly gave me tips, so I did have a very strong interest in this young man.
I used to just check if I had the opportunity to cooperate in business, but now I am thinking about finding a family for my daughter, because the young man's eyes lit up when he saw his daughter appear.
In fact, the tip is indeed a bit high. You should know that the value of pounds in this era is indeed very high. On that cruise ship, two women can spend the spring night together.
But the minimum denomination of the banknote is only five pounds, of course, it may have a little pretending to be good. Fortunately, the waiter recognized this kind of pound that was issued for more than a year, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.
"The foreign silver notes you just gave look really strange, I didn't recognize them." Wencai said in a low voice.
"The print of that thing is indeed a bit simple, far less exquisite than that of a beautiful knife, but the quality is still good and easy to carry. It's much more convenient than silver dollars and copper coins."
"What does a beautiful knife look like?" I was really curious and asked again, but when I saw the master staring at me, I quickly shut up. In fact, Uncle Jiu was also curious. I have seen Chinese cultural relics sword coins, and I have really seen foreign sword coins.
Seeing that Uncle Jiu wanted to ask but was embarrassed to ask, Zhou Bufan immediately put out two 100-degree American knives from his wallet and handed them to them.
"Uncle Jiu, Brother Wencai, Meidao is like this, I will leave a souvenir for the first meeting."
"This doesn't look like a knife. Master, why do you think this paper money is called a beautiful knife?" Wen Cai asked his master in a low voice. Uncle Jiu was a little speechless and looked at the banknote repeatedly. No matter how hard he looked, he didn't look like a knife.
"Uh, the tongue is purely a tongue. This American currency unit is dolr in English. The first pronunciation letter is similar to that of a knife. The correct translation is US dollar."
After hearing Zhou Bufan's explanation, the master and apprentice suddenly realized, but they never accepted the money for other people's gifts, so they never took the dollar.
"You really came back from studying abroad?" The eldest lady Ren finally couldn't help but ask curiously.
"No, I was just doing some research on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs in Egypt."
Although Miss Ren didn't know what to study in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, she didn't even know where Egypt was, it just made people feel unconscious and harsh. Of course, the other three people also had a similar feeling.
...
The legendary Huang Baiwan finally appeared, Mr. Ren finally left to say hello, and the coffee was finally served, and of course the waiter helped buy a lot of fried bread.
I used to eat breakfast almost every day, but I have never eaten it since the epidemic began. I have also traveled through several times and spaces and never had the opportunity to taste this delicious food. When I see it again, I don’t care about anything else and eat it directly.
Originally, because Zhou Bufan was present, Miss Tingting didn't plan to play the master and apprentice, but when she saw Zhou Bufan eating the fried bread voraciously, she really doubted the origin of this guy.
The young lady finally staged a classic scene, and she drank it with a sip of pure coffee, a sip of milk, and a spoonful of sugar and drank it a few times.
"Ms. Ren's way of drinking coffee is really unique. I think it's a unique flavor when stirring milk coffee sugar in his mouth."
As he said that, he added some milk and sugar to the coffee. It was not until then that the master and apprentice added some milk and sugar to Zhou Bufan.
"You are allowed to eat fried bread in the cafe, and I am not allowed to drink new ways to drink coffee?"
"Hey, don't be angry. Actually, I also like to try different ways to drink coffee. I have tried adding wolfberry to coffee before, and I have also tried isatis root, summer mulberry chrysanthemum and other coffee boards. The taste can be said to be quite weird."
