Chapter 118 First Kiss

Noni was very willing to go for midnight snacks with Wang Xiaoming, but she was unwilling to go to Quanjude, so she found a French restaurant, which was also the first French restaurant in China: Beijing Maxim Restaurant.

On October 1, 1983, Beijing Maxim Restaurant officially opened in the southwest corner of Chongwenmen intersection. It maintained the method of making traditional French cuisine and brought this French national treasure to China. When going to Beijing French restaurant Maxim, you can feel the rich essence of French culture and French dining.

Maxim's head plate and soup are very exquisite. It is obviously not the first time Noni has been here. She is good at ordering dishes. She ordered foie gras batches and smoked salmon for the head plate, while the soup is ordered cream turtle soup.

Maybe Wang Xiaoming and Chen Langping's identities may not be seen in Quanjude or in the hotel, but when I got here, let alone Chen Langping, even Wang Xiaoming felt a little at a loss, because this was their first time here.

"Xiao Ming, I think I'd better go back first. These things are not full and not cooked." Chen Langping said softly to Wang Xiaoming. He was talking about Santang Town. Not to mention that Noni has only been in China for two years, even if she has been in twenty years, as long as she has not lived in Santang Town, she would not understand.

"What are you talking about?" Noni and Wang Xiaoming always speak Chinese when they were together, because this can improve their Chinese level. Wang Xiaoming's English is already very good and there is no need to practice further.

"He said he wanted to go back first, but he was not used to the food here." Wang Xiaoming said.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you may not be used to it. It doesn't matter, we can change our family." Noni said.

"No, I can, I'll accompany you here, he can go back first." Wang Xiaoming said. Noni could be said to have helped her, and of course she had to satisfy her small demands. Besides, she could also learn from her how to eat French meals.

Wang Xiaoming was worried that his uncle would not be able to return to the hotel he stayed in correctly from here, so he went out to call a taxi for him, told the driver which hotel to go to, and even provided him with a prepayment fee before returning to the restaurant.

"Okay, now there are only two of us left. First of all, I will learn from you how to use these knife and forks." Wang Xiaoming said frankly after he came back.

"I thought you could do everything. Well, it's actually very simple to master the trick. Eating is for enjoyment rather than suffering." Noni smiled.

This is a Western restaurant arranged in the French romantic style unique to the late 19th century. It is decorated in a gorgeous and elegant manner. The small band in the orchestra plays classical music, and the waiter is a young man in a tuxedo. This is the tradition of Marcosim's restaurant. It allows customers to feast their eyes first (the restaurant decoration), then the ears (the soft music), and then the taste (the delicious French cuisine).

In order to maintain elegant manners and romantic mood, Wang Xiaoming had to make himself use a knife and fork awkwardly, but after a long time, he got used to it. After all, if this would make people too tired, this way of dining would not have been passed on for so long.

"You learn very quickly." Noni said. She just mentioned a little, and Wang Xiaoming could quickly grasp the key points.

Wang Xiaoming did not use Western food in his previous life, but not seeing pigs running does not mean that he had never eaten pork. On TV and in novels, he has seen many such scenes. Noni gave a casual guide and Wang Xiaoming made rapid progress.

"Noni, will you go back to the United States in the future?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

"It depends on the situation. I like China very much. There are food and scenery that fascinates me. So far, I have visited more than a dozen provinces and will be more in the future. This place has attracted me deeply." Noni said.

"I hope you can travel to our place in the future. Although there are no famous scenery, you can truly feel the life of a farmer." Wang Xiaoming said.

"Okay, I will definitely go to your place by then, no matter whether my father can help you or not," Noni said.

"Of course, this is a matter between us and it has nothing to do with your father." Wang Xiaoming said with a smile.

"Thank you very much for your generosity tonight. I think I should go back. My mother told me that girls cannot wait too late with boys." Noni smiled mischievously.

"But will this be said too early? At least it will be a few years before you warn you?" Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but smile.

"I'm old enough now. I already know what should be known, and I know what should not be known, but you may not know, hehe." Noni said, the psychological age of a girl is more mature than that of a man, and Westerners are more mature than that of an Oriental, so Noni is right, but she misunderstood the partner, and Wang Xiaoming's psychological age is much older than hers.

"Then in order not to worry your mother, I'd better send you back soon." Wang Xiaoming said with a smile.

Outside the US Embassy, ​​Wang Xiaoming got out of the car with Noni, "Wang, thank you for sending me back."

"This is what I should do, go in early so that your mother won't worry."

But Noni's behavior caught him off guard. Noni suddenly hugged Wang Xiaoming and kissed him on the mouth. There were still a few seconds left, but our classmate Wang Xiaoming had no reaction at all. His first kiss was taken away by an American girl.

"I'm very happy tonight, bye." Noni touched Wang Xiaoming's cheek like a woman, and then walked into the embassy.

Until Noni walked in, Wang Xiaoming was still stunned. He was truly self-disciplined in his life and had no injustice about women, because he was not yet at the age of need.

My God, my first kiss, Wang Xiaoming has thought countless times about what kind of person he would be. Gentle, Shuhui, slim, Baizhi, but he never thought that he would be a foreigner. Although Noni is also very beautiful,... she forced herself to kiss her.

"Xiao Ming, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? The restaurant is not cooked. I'm worried that you will have diarrhea after eating." Chen Langping was depressed when he saw Wang Xiaoming coming back, thinking that he had suffered from stomach upset.

"No, I'm just a little tired and want to sleep first." Wang Xiaoming said.

But when Wang Xiaoming was sleeping, our Blair was bargaining with Ding Ding because Blair didn't know Wang Xiaoming's reserve price. In fact, he also knew that the price Martin gave at the beginning might be lower than Wang Xiaoming's reserve price. After all, he was in the United States, and Wang Xiaoming asked the price in China. No matter what, the price he asked in the local area would have an advantage over him.

But Blair is interested in the Chinese market. This is his first customer in China. He wants to develop the international market in the future. Moreover, the lower the price, the higher the cost he gets.

"Forty-five thousand dollars, this is my lowest price. Blair, you crazy man, do you need to fight so hard for others?" Martin shouted angrily. Blair knew his background. This was the lowest price he could afford, but he was not satisfied.

"Forty thousand dollars, I know that you have received a deposit for this equipment. Have you forgotten?" Blair said.

"You are such a vampire, can't you let me make some money?" Martin cursed.

"I have to fight for the best interests of my client. This is my professional ethics. Moreover, the current market is sluggish, and your raw materials should be much cheaper." Blair said.

"But now I use the raw materials I used in the processing line, and the price has not dropped at all." Martin said.

"Maybe I can ask my client to buy an extra production line. Who asked you to have such a discount?" Blair smiled.

"If this is true, then I'm willing to accept your price." Martin said.

Whether it was $40,000 or $45,000, Blair felt that he had completed his mission and he had made a profit in this business. He ignored the time in Beijing now, and after returning to the office, he called Wang Xiaoming's hotel.

Wang Xiaoming was suddenly woken up by the hotel waiter in the middle of the night because he was on his international long-distance call. Wang Xiaoming knew that it must be Blair's call, but he didn't know if it was good news or bad news, but hope it was good news.

"Blair, do you have good news to tell me?" Wang Xiaoming said after grabbing the phone.

"Dear King, I have found you a manufacturer of the best quality potato chip processing equipment. Their quality is well-known in our United States. The price of the production line is like this, including a total of 45,000 US dollars in total. If you want two sets at a time, it only costs 40,000 US dollars." Blair said.

"Blair, this is indeed good news for me. I want two production lines. In addition, you have to contact me with the seasonings. If there is a recipe, it is best. I can buy a batch of seasonings first, in exchange for them to give me the recipe or sell it to me, but the premise is that we in China must have all the raw materials in the recipe." Wang Xiaoming said that in addition to the quality of the production equipment, the flavor of potato chips also has a lot to do with the seasonings. If authentic American original seasonings can be used, Wang Xiaoming believes that his products will have greater competitiveness in the future.

"This is no problem. I can help you do this today. Dear King, can I ask? How much is my reward this time?" Blair asked nervously.

"Blair, please help me calculate how much it costs to ship a set of processing equipment from the United States to China this time? Including freight and tariffs." Wang Xiaoming had nothing to say about such a price. The processing equipment of Arctic Ocean Food Company cost $120,000. Wang Xiaoming originally thought that if Blair could buy one for him for 100,000 US dollars, he would have taken a big advantage, but he did not expect that it would only cost 40,000 US dollars per set to be purchased directly in the United States.

"These machining equipment is not within the limit, so I have consulted you at customs. It will not exceed 10,000 US dollars to transport it to a port in China, but I don't know how much it will cost to transport it to you after getting off the ship." Blair said.

"Very good, Blair, I want to congratulate you. In addition to the fixed remuneration of 2,000 US dollars, you can also get an additional remuneration of 25,000 US dollars." Wang Xiaoming said that his base price was 100,000 US dollars, and Blair talked about 40,000 US dollars for him. With the previous agreement, Blair can get half of the excess of the part, and this time he bought two sets of equipment, which was considered to be a profit of himself.

"My God, 25,000 dollars, Wang, I love you so much." Blair shouted over there, his salted fish was really about to turn over.

"But you have to help me with a batch of seasonings, and now find one or several technicians to install, debug and train." Wang Xiaoming said.
