Facing Susanna's invitation, Zhao Guoyang couldn't refuse too directly, so he could only smile and said, "If you have time, you can."

After getting Zhao Guoyang's ambiguous answer, Susanna didn't look angry at all.

She just smiled slightly and walked into the door with Zhao Guoyang.

The governor's residence has a hall dedicated to entertaining guests.

After a formal welcome ceremony in the hall, someone came to Governor Baptista and told Governor Baptista that the open-air "party" was ready.

After hearing this, Baptista made an invitation gesture to Mayor Huang Zhigang and personally led him to the manor outside for a meal.

Following a group of people out of the house, Zhao Guoyang discovered that the manor in the backyard of the official residence had already been decorated.

There are long dining tables of various dishes in four rows, neatly arranged on both sides.

At the end of the middle is a grill, three middle-aged men in chef's uniforms are leaning against beef, chicken legs and other food in an orderly manner.

With Zhao Guoyang's knowledgeable experience in his previous life, he naturally knew that today's welcome dinner was a self-service "party".

Samba people have unrestrained personalities, and this self-service "party" is a way of banqueting guests that they prefer.

Before the meal, Baptista, the governor of São Paulo, made an impromptu speech, warmly welcomed the Chinese delegation, and at the end, wish everyone a happy meal.

After the two bigwigs, Baptista and Huang Zhigang, had a cup, the dinner finally officially began.

On the delegation, most people were a little unfamiliar with this form of buffet and were a little restrained at the beginning.

However, as the officials of the State of St. Paul and their families came enthusiastically to talk and to everyone toast, the restraint of everyone gradually faded away.

For Zhao Guoyang, this kind of buffet with a higher level is not unfamiliar at all.

In his previous life, he had attended dinners held by important figures such as England and America more than once. The level of the dinner was only higher than that of today.

Slowly walking along the four rows of dining tables, Zhao Guoyang took a tray and picked a roasted prawn and half a roasted banana, and began to taste it with relish.

While eating, Zhao Guoyang looked at the lively scene in the manor with great interest.

After so many days after his rebirth, he has not relaxed as much as he is now.

After looking around for a while, Zhao Guoyang found that in just a while, important figures such as Yao Gang, Yu Pengfei, and Mr. Li had already appeared around important figures such as St. Paul's State.

Now, people have done their homework and will not let their leaders at their level feel neglected.

Seeing Mr. Li being pulled by a big nose official from Samba Country, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but feel a little funny.

At this moment, the language barrier seemed to no longer exist. Everyone just smiled and clinked glasses with everyone they saw at will, and everything was silent.

This scene also made Zhao Guoyang intrigued. When he saw a waiter who was delivering wine, he ordered a glass of rum and prepared a drink.

Rum is the most famous wine in Samba.

It is a distilled liquor produced using sugar cane and molasses as raw materials. Therefore, it is also called sugar wine or rum.

Rum is usually made of sugar juice pressed from sugar cane, fermented and distilled. Its characteristics are sweet and fragrant, and it is not easy to get over it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is suitable for both men and women.

In fact, the origin of rum is not in Samba, but in Cuba, a small country in Central and North America and the Caribbean.

However, its development and growth were in a country like Samba, which advocated freedom and self.

After taking a sip of the amber-colored mellow wine in front of him, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but exclaim in secret.

According to alcohol content and production process, rum is divided into light rum, rum regular wine, strong fragrant rum, etc.

Judging from the color of the glass of wine in my hand, it is naturally a strong aromatic rum and a good product among rum.

Although the degree may be much lower than that of domestic Moutai and Wuliangye, this strong aroma has a unique and strong aroma and is very distinctive.

Just as Zhao Guoyang was savoring the rum carefully, a sound rang behind him.

"Zhao, drinking rum with beef ribs is the most ideal. Do I want me to help you get some?"

Zhao Guoyang could hardly hear that this voice was Susanna's without looking back.

He couldn't help but turn his head, look at the beautiful Samba beauty in front of him, and said politely: "Thank you Miss Susanna for your kindness. However, compared to Sao Paulo's beef ribs, I still prefer Rio de Janeiro..."

After hearing this, Susanna was shocked and covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Oh, Zhao, you even know this? Have you been to our Samba country before? Have you been to Rio de Janeiro?"

Regarding the question of the governor's daughter, Zhao Guoyang knew that he had just said he had taken off his mouth, so he could only try his best to save it and said: "No, I also heard from the previous Portuguese teacher..."

Susanna did not doubt that he was there, and nodded after hearing this, saying, "Well, Zhao, you are right. Rio de Janeiro's beef ribs are indeed a big feature, I admit this. Since that's the case, let's try our Sao Paulo's specialty dish - roast chicken."

As Susanna said, she stretched out her hand to hold Zhao Guoyang and walked straight to the grill not far away.

Zhao Guoyang felt a little uncomfortable when he was pulled by such a beautiful and hot foreign girl, and couldn't help but look at the other members of the delegation. Fortunately, no one noticed this place.

After walking a few steps forward, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but cough and said, "Miss Susanna, I'll go by myself. You will be misunderstood by my companions when you see it like this."

When Susanna heard Zhao Guoyang's outspokenness, her eyes were filled with a smile. She blinked and said indifferently: "Oh, it doesn't matter. There is a proverb in your Chinese that is called "Accommodating to the local customs". Even if your companions see us holding hands, it should be understandable!"

After hearing the beautiful girl's stiff consolation, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but laugh.

Think about it, the girls in Samba country have a spirit of pursuing freedom in their nature.

People are a little more enthusiastic about themselves, probably nothing else. They just because they speak Portuguese well and they are all the same age. If they mind this too much, they will be a little obsessed with it.

After thinking about this clearly, Zhao Guoyang became generous and took the opportunity to take the lead and no longer had the idea of ​​resisting.

He pulled Zhao Guoyang to the grill, Susanna and the two chefs whispered a few times, and one chef added two pieces of roasted chicken leg meat to their plates.

"Zhao, you will definitely not disappoint you if you taste it!" Susanna pointed to the plate and said.

Zhao Guoyang nodded, put a piece of chicken in his mouth, took a few bites and said casually: "Well, the taste is very good, it should be made by the cooking method of Bahia cuisine?"

"I'm right, Zhao, you know so much. It doesn't seem like the first time I'm here in our Samba country." Susanna praised with a smile.

Zhao Guoyang said "hmm", thought for a while, and explained to Susanna: "There is a proverb in China, "If a scholar does not go out, he will know the world's affairs." This means that a knowledgeable person can know a lot even if he has not been to a certain place..."

"Oh, this is the first time I have heard of this proverb!"

Susanna cheered, "Zhao, tell me a few more Chinese proverbs. When I go back to school, I can brag with my Chinese teacher!"

After hearing the eldest lady's words, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help but roll his eyes: I feel that the governor's daughter is learning Chinese just to brag.

Of course, no matter how much he complained about Susanna's request, Zhao Guoyang still did as he did.

The two of them were eating and chatting, and Zhao Guoyang casually told Susanna some proverbs and poems about China.

For example, "Is it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar?", "Is it a pleasure to draw a knife to cut off the water and flow more, and I raise a glass to relieve my sorrow and sorrow", "No one is good for a thousand days, and no flowers are red for a hundred days", Susanna's two big eyes shine brightly.

Especially the last proverb, Susanna was very interested.

When Zhao Guoyang said that this sentence was a metaphor for the fact that good times did not last long or that friendship could not last, Susanna had a rich and subtle expression on her face.

After a while of silence, Susanna asked again, "Zhao, you are so awesome, you know more than my teacher... Can I ask you something? I think during your time in St. Paul, I will tell me more about Chinese literature and history knowledge."

"Well, literature and historical knowledge..."

Zhao Guoyang was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't tell you this either. But Miss Susanna, you should know that I studied engineering and mechanical in college. I can only talk about literature and history, but I can't do it accurately."

"It's okay!" Susanna waved her hands repeatedly, "No matter whether your level in literature or history is high or low, you are always much better than me. Moreover, you are very interesting in telling stories, and I like them very much."

After hearing Susanna say this, Zhao Guoyang could only nod and respond.

In his opinion, his time spent in St. Paul was limited anyway. Miss Susanna couldn't bother me to study every day, right?

Seeing Zhao Guoyang nodding in agreement, Susanna cheered and excitedly.

She smiled happily and shook Zhao Guoyang's hand and said, "Zhao, let's start now. Tell me first. Is the source of the proverb just now good? It's the sentence 'No one is good for a thousand days, and no flowers are red for a hundred days'!"

"Uh, this..."

Zhao Guoyang frowned and thought about it seriously and said, "This proverb was originally from "Selected Yuan Song? Reunion of Children". Later, it was quoted in "Water Margin" and gradually promoted it."

"Actually, the whole poem should be like this: 'No one is good for a thousand days, no flowers are red for a hundred days, and if you don't plan in the early days, you will be in vain afterwards.'..."
