Chapter 135 Food Nation
(I don’t know why the lyrics and comments of the previous chapter were released, so I was so depressed.)
Wang Qibu sincerely hoped that he could discuss music, oil painting, and Renaissance ideas with King Fu John Paul II at the dinner table. But this did not affect his mood at all, because King Fu John Paul II had clearly stated that he had accepted King Qibu's proposal, and the relocation of Yanjing, which was originally located in Taipei, would be put on the agenda. Therefore, the Pope's dinner time will be used to pay a note to the Vatican Foreign Office.
"Dear Pope, believe me, you made a wise decision. If I were God, you would definitely give you a bonus." After receiving the Pope's affirmative answer, Wang Qibu's teasing of letting go of his burden was a bit presumptuous, which also reflected his good mood at this moment from one aspect.
"God wouldn't force an old man to make such a difficult decision? No matter what, you are the most special child I have ever seen in the years. Moreover, in some ways, you have indeed given a very good gift. So, I want to thank you. If you need it one day in the future, I can help you with something, in the words of you Chinese, to repay you as a favor." The blessing John Paul II seemed solemn and confident when he said this. Even in the eyes of the picky Wang Qibu, being able to do this is definitely a quality of the elderly's cultivation.
Of course, I know the true blessing of John Paul II's point of view and asked shamelessly, "Well, can we understand that one is divided into several times?"
"Because of my lifelong faith, I can only help you once at most." Although I also think that Wang Qibu is watching the joke, John Paul II said solemnly. After all, no matter who said to his pastor friend, "Brother, I am going to marry a few wives, can you all be my host?" I am afraid that he would not get the answer he wanted, right?

The Roman birthday just passed, and the city that was night could see some festive atmosphere. As a civilized tourist city around the world, Wang Qibu and Yue Xiaochen would not be surprised by the fact that a few Asians came to the streets. They didn’t need to remind the expensive watch on their wrists, and the two knew it was getting late. Because Wang Qibu was hungry, it was coincidentally because Yue Xiaochen was hungry. It was really hard for people who were not foodies to understand what hunger meant to foodies, or how terrifying it was. So finding a good restaurant at the first time was the top priority for them who refused to receive foreign affairs.
"Do we have to go eat noodles today? In fact, we can also consider pie." Yue Xiao, who was a little uninterested, asked Wang Qibu weakly. However, Wang Qibu did not answer, but just laughed, and the lewd smile was full of positive energy.
Many people think that the birthplace of Western cuisine is France. Even some people have never eaten French cuisine. Maybe they can see it from French restaurants all over the world and the highest-paid French chefs. But now, it is time to clarify; the most orthodox birthplace of Western cuisine, that is, the mother of Western cuisine, is actually Italy. The Italian nation is a gourmet nation, and in a more pragmatic way, it is a foodie nation. They have a long history in terms of diet, just like their art, fashion and cars, and always like to make it meticulously. Elegant and noble, rich and simple, and pay attention to the original flavor. These words are used to describe Italian cuisine. Many people, including Yue Xiaochen, think that Italy only has noodles, pies, and flour, actually has a variety of dishes.
At this time, the waiter also took the wine ordered by Wang Qibu, opened it at Wang Qibu's signal, and poured it into the cup in front of him and Yue Xiaochen. Wang Qibu also said, "Italian is suitable for growing grapes from south to north, and all regions are rich in wine. Therefore, there are many wine varieties and brands in Italy. Italians like to drink wine, which is a must-have drink on the family table, and guests treat them with wine when they come. However, the way Italians drink wine is done by the way. However, the way Italians drink wine is done by the Italians.
More particular, drinking aperitif before meals, also known as pre-meal wine, can stimulate appetite and increase appetite. During the meal, different dishes such as seafood or meat, white wine or red wine, and after meals, you also need to drink a small amount of sweet wine or strong wine to aid digestion. During meals, you generally do not use strong wine, and you are not used to urging alcohol, so there is basically no alcoholism. In addition, Italians prefer to mix some strong wine in appetizing soft drinks and pour some white orchids on ice cream.
Even the last coffee should be mixed with some wine, thinking that it will taste more delicious and unique. If an Italian friend invites you to dinner at home, you can bring some small gifts at your discretion, such as wine, sweets or chocolate, flowers, etc., or some exquisite and elegant small crafts or souvenirs with ethnic characteristics. Italians arrange seats by a man and a woman, sometimes separate their husbands and wives. The wine, food and desserts brought by guests can also be
Eat immediately. Gifts are usually used to opening on the spot. If you give flowers, don’t not send chrysanthemums. Italy is taboo to chrysanthemums. Uh, your smile is too lewd, it’s not that. The reason why you can’t send chrysanthemums is because the season when chrysanthemums are in full bloom is when people visit graves, and chrysanthemums are used at funerals. Pay attention to giving odd numbers when sending flowers. If you don’t like someone else, don’t give them red roses. Similarly, don’t give them handkerchiefs, especially those you just used to blow your nose.”

After returning to the hotel he had booked in Los Angeles, Wang Qibu began to sort out the results of today's meeting. He stayed until 2:30 in the middle of the night and wanted to call Wang Yucai's office. After hearing Wang Qibu's voice, the office staff spoke the phone and handed it to the Prime Minister.
"Qianbu. Why haven't you been sleeping?" Wang Yucai asked with deep concern. There is no need to be surprised by Wang Yucai's understanding that Wang Qibu is in Italy on the other side of the earth. After all, if Wang Qibu hadn't deliberately disappeared, then Wang Yu would not know where his precious grandson was.
"Haha, it's okay. What's the fear of such a young man staying up late? Grandpa, Grandpa, John, the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church? Paul II has agreed to the conditions I proposed to enhance the conditions for a country's pastor Jin Mu that our country has set. The last European ally there may be lost soon." Wang Qidao, in his usual tone of seeking merit since he was a child.
The other side of the phone was silent. Although he had experienced such complex emotions many times, Wang Qibu was always able to escalate the next surprise. In the end, Wang Yucai sighed and said, "Okay, okay. I will let the comrades from the foreign affairs department go over there to follow up immediately. Qibu, uh, it's been so long since he's gone out. Grandpa misses you, if there is nothing else important, go home."
