Volume 3 Chapter 36 The Collision of Chinese and Western Cultures
In the afternoon, Brother Wu asked someone to send a message to invite Uncle Nine to the restaurant for a banquet, Uncle Nine naturally would not be afraid of him, and took three apprentices to the restaurant, and when he arrived at the restaurant, when he walked to the staircase on the second floor, Uncle Nine suddenly stopped, waved his head, and said, "Go." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" did not hesitate after speaking, turned his head and went downstairs.
Ah Xing asked softly for some reason: "Master, there is free food to eat, why do you want to leave!"
Xiao Yue then asked, "Yes, yes, yes! It's already here, why don't you go up?
"Who is afraid of him?" Uncle Nine raised his head and said disdainfully, then turned his head and said again, "Go back." ”
Xiao Peng grabbed Uncle Nine and asked, "Master, is there something wrong?"
Only then did the ninth uncle point upstairs with his thumb and say, "Didn't you see that foreign celestial master?
Xiao Peng was stunned, and hurriedly grabbed the ninth uncle who was about to open the way, and explained: "Don't Master, it's not what you think, Catholic monks are the same as Buddhist monks, they are all dressed in the same way, and monks' uniforms are the same as monks' robes, they are all regular clothes, and they wear that all year round, so we don't need to wear Taoist robes at all, it will look very strange." ”
"Oh, is that so?" Uncle Nine glanced at Xiao Peng and confirmed.
Xiao Peng nodded affirmatively and said, "Absolutely, we don't need to be too formal at all, just feel casual." ”
"Okay!Dapeng, you have seen the world, I believe you, then let's go!" Uncle Jiu was finally persuaded by Xiao Peng, and he didn't run home to put on a robe like in the movie, and made a joke.
"Uncle Nine has arrived. The guy on the second floor saw Uncle Nine and others going upstairs, and immediately sang and said.
Everyone present got up, David greeted him warmly, and led Uncle Nine and his party to the seat and sat down, Uncle Nine's position was naturally next to Brother Wu!" "Uncle Nine, Brother Dapeng, welcome, welcome, come, come, please sit, everyone sit." ”
At this time, in addition to David, Annie, and Boss Li, there were three other middle-aged men and two middle-aged women with heavy makeup.
After everyone sat down, David continued: "My father asked me to arrange for the two elders to have a light meal, so that the two of them can understand each other, whether the church is reopened or not, in fact, it doesn't matter, the main thing is that we want to practice democracy and practice more teaching, I believe that the virtuous elders here all mean this, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes......" As soon as David's words fell, everyone at the table nodded in agreement.
Hearing David's sentence of "virtuous father", Uncle Nine sneered lightly and said, "It's pretty good! ”
Seeing that Uncle Nine was looking at everyone at the table, with an unkind look, David hurriedly greeted him: "Come on, come on, let's talk while eating, talk while eating, use it, use it!"
At this time, there was a very famous roast duck in the capital on the table, but Brother Wu was a little confused, holding a chopstick in each hand, looking left and right blankly, at a loss. Xiao Peng smiled and said jokingly: "Father, I'm sorry! We Chinese people use chopsticks to eat, and there are no knives and forks here!"
“......”
Seeing this, Uncle Nine glanced at Brother Wu teasingly, picked up a piece of dough neatly, and said while methodically dipping vegetables and sauce: "In fact, Taoism in China is the same as roast duck in Beijing, with a history of thousands of years. ”
After Uncle Nine finished speaking, he also rolled up a piece of roast duck, held it up in front of Brother Wu, and raised his eyebrows defiantly.
After seeing Uncle Nine do it again, Brother Wu had a bottom in his heart, smiled slightly, picked up a piece of dough with one chopstick and put it in the bowl, and inserted a piece of roast duck with another chopstick, and did it according to the process that Uncle Nine had just done, and said in his mouth: "The religion of China, the good is to persuade people to be good, and the disadvantage is to lead people to superstition, in fact, faith is the same as eating roast duck, as long as you can eat it, as for how to eat it...... Not a problem. ”
What Brother Wu meant was that since they all persuade people to do good, it didn't matter what sect they believed in or what doctrine they used.
After Brother Wu finished speaking, he directly rolled up the roast duck with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.
David next to him said cheerfully: "I didn't expect my father to know how to eat roast duck so well." ”
"Huh...... Belch...... cough cough cough cough ......" Brother Wu smiled slightly, and wanted to say a few polite words, but who knew that this opening was choked by the roast duck in his mouth.
Seeing this, Uncle Nine immediately gloated and smiled, "It turns out that I offended Master Zu, so be careful to choke you to death." ”
Monk Wu was stunned again when he heard this, turned his head to David and asked, "What is Master Zu?"
David thought for a moment, then spoke: "Master Zu...... It's grandfather. ”
"Oh......" Brother Wu suddenly turned back to Uncle Jiu's side and said, "It turns out that your grandfather is still alive, greet him for me." ”
Uncle Nine said with a serious face: "Okay, I greet your mother." ”
When Brother Wu heard this, he immediately smiled happily and said, "Thank you! After speaking, he raised his glass to Uncle Nine, and he thought that Uncle Nine was really greeting his mother!
"Poof...... cough cough cough ...... "The second one to be choked was Xiao Peng, listening to this strange conversation, he really couldn't help it, and Xiao Yue and Ah Xing, who were standing behind them, also had a smile on their faces.
"Eat slowly, no one will rob you. Uncle Nine turned his head and glanced at Xiao Peng with a smile, but looking at the way the corners of his mouth twitched, he was obviously a little amused by Brother Wu's reaction.
"Come, everyone, drink, come ......," David duly beckoned to the others at the table to drink together.
Uncle Nine took a sip of wine, his face became very strange, and when Anne saw this, she hurriedly explained: "This kind of wine was brought by my father from France, and it is called brandy." ”
Xiao Peng took a drink, put down the wine glass and said to Uncle Jiu: "This brandy is made from grapes and stored in oak barrels, the taste is sour, it is not suitable for us, I still like to drink the liquor we brew from grain." ”
Uncle Nine nodded with satisfaction, with an expression that won my heart, and said, "Ah Xing......"
Ah Xing, who was standing behind Uncle Jiu, immediately took a step forward and said with a smile: "Hehe, my master and senior brother don't like to drink this kind of wine......" said and poured out the remaining brandy in Uncle Jiu's cup from the window, and then took out a bottle of liquor from Zhao Ji Distillery and poured it for Uncle Nine and Xiao Peng, and then continued: "They like to drink this." ”
"Uncle Nine, let's get down to business, I hope that after eating this meal, everyone will be harmonious in the future. The scene was awkward, and David bluntly changed the subject.
Boss Li also echoed: "Yes, we want to make money in harmony!"
Although Uncle Nine didn't like Brother Wu, Boss Li still had to give some face, looked at him and said, "I don't object to making money with anger, but don't expect me to be in cahoots with them." ”
After Uncle Nine finished speaking, Brother Wu immediately came over and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean by being embarrassed?"
"Don't you really know who they are?" Uncle Nine looked at Monk Wu with burning eyes and asked.
When Brother Wu heard this, he smiled and said, "Of course I know this......" After speaking, he gestured to a bald monk standing behind him: "Myson, tell Uncle Nine." ”
"Yes, they are ......" The bald monk was about to speak, but was directly stopped by Uncle Jiu raising his hand, Uncle Nine glanced at everyone present, and said: "They either open a tobacco house or a brothel, and there is no good person at all." ”
A few people at the table were said by Uncle Jiu, and their faces suddenly couldn't hang up, but they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction openly, they all knew that Uncle Nine was a Taoist priest in Maoshan Mountain, if they provoked Uncle Jiu, just cast a spell and put a curse, they might die inexplicably, not knowing whether it was white, so they just had ugly faces, but they didn't dare to speak out at all.
