"Let's go eat when it's time. The private chef we booked is delicious." Pan Youning said.
They also took into account Feng Yi's current popularity and tried to choose a place with a more elegant dining environment to avoid being disturbed while eating.
The time when Feng Yi was eating starfish in Mo City, he left in a hurry because he was recognized by someone.
Pan Weining, who was a few years older and more stable, drove the car and took Feng Yi and Pan Youning to their destination.
After about twenty minutes, we arrived at a place and parked the car.
"We need to go a little further ahead. Cars can't drive in."
The place is relatively hidden, but it is quiet, without any other disturbances, and the food tastes good.
The three of them walked forward.
When passing by a local family's house, Feng Yi saw an old lady holding a bowl of rice and chasing after her grandson to feed him. While feeding him, she said:
"Eat more. Look at what the stars on TV say. If you eat more, you will have more strength!"
Feng Yi: “…”
Seeing Feng Yi's strange expression, Pan Weining thought of what Feng Yi said during the interview and said, "Don't worry about it. No one took the interview you did at the event seriously. This old lady may not have thought so because she watched the live broadcast."
Pan Youning on the side also said: "Yes! Even if you don't say it, they believe it! Especially the old men and women, they especially believe that 'the more you eat, the stronger you are'. The old people in my family also said so when I was in middle school! However, I eat so much that it's hard for me to even lift a chicken!"
Neither of the Pan brothers took Feng Yi's words seriously.
While chatting, we arrived at our destination.
The quaint residence looked deserted from the outside, but when you walked in, you would find that there were quite a few customers.
Pan Weining booked a private room, which was not very big, but was big enough for three people. He almost failed to book it, and only managed to get it with the help of a friend.
If you want to book a more satisfactory private room, you have to book it at least one week in advance. If you want to book a larger room, you have to book it even longer in advance.
Previously, several of Pan Weining’s friends had a gathering and they booked a large room a month in advance.
Pan Weining took Feng Yi inside.
Feng Yi looked calm on the outside, but he was extremely hungry and thirsty inside.
Literally hungry.
He could smell it from a long distance away!
If I hadn't had a meal before coming here, I would definitely hear the deep call from my stomach at this time.
There's nothing to be embarrassed about.
If you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your thinking!
We sat down in the private room they booked, but there was no menu. After successfully booking, the dishes were ordered in advance, and the chef had to prepare the ingredients in advance.
At that time, Pan Weining came here in person to order food and contacted Feng Yi by phone, wanting Feng Yi to place the order.
After all, everyone has different tastes. Some people don’t eat spicy food, some people don’t like sweet food, and some people are allergic to certain ingredients.
If you want to invite someone to dinner, of course you have to base it on their taste. Pan Weining didn't know Feng Yi's taste and taboos, so he couldn't make a decision on his own.
Feng Yi directly handed the matter over to Pan Weining, an old customer of the restaurant.
Feng Yi didn’t know what was delicious here, and he wasn’t picky anyway.
"It's okay, you order, I'll eat anything as long as it's edible!" This is what Feng Yi said at the time.
Pan Weining certainly couldn't take this seriously. In his opinion, it was just a polite remark.
He ordered a few signature dishes, plus some that he had tasted before and thought tasted better, and that chefs from other restaurants couldn’t make.
Waste is not allowed here, and because he ordered too much, the person in charge of taking orders advised him and reminded him of the restaurant's rules.
Pan Weining explained, "Don't worry, I know the rules here. I'm also a supporter of the Clean Plate Campaign. This time we're entertaining a lifesaver. I don't know what he likes to eat, so I ordered a lot of food. But when we leave, can you ask your store clerk to help pack it up? I've already told a friend of mine, and he'll come over to pick it up."
Since Pan Weining said so, the clerk no longer insisted.
So there were plates of rich dishes in front of Feng Yi, filling the table.
Pan Weining observed for a while and found that Feng Yi was only slightly surprised when he saw so many dishes, and then he accepted it calmly.
Well, it seems that Feng Yi should like this style of hospitality.
It wasn't the first time that the three of them had dinner together. If they were too polite, it would seem distant.
The atmosphere at the dinner table is quite casual, and there is no such thing as not talking while eating.
"It tastes great. Are there any requirements for ordering food here? I will bring my relatives and friends here to eat next time." Feng Yi said.
“The food here is really good, but you need to order several days in advance.”
Pan Weining told Feng Yi about the reservation rules here. He didn't mean to deliberately mention the difficulty of ordering to show how much he had paid, but the fact is that reservations here really have to be made many days in advance.
If Feng Yi didn't have any other connections in Beijing, he wouldn't be able to reserve a table even if he made the reservation two or three days in advance.
Talking about the ordering rules here, Pan Weining recommended a few dishes that were not ordered this time. Because he was not sure whether Feng Yi would like them, he mentioned it to Feng Yi at the dinner table and asked him to try them next time.
After learning about the ordering and the dishes here, Feng Yi asked them: "Is there any meteorite exhibition in Beijing? Or a private collection?"
"You can go to the planetarium and geological museum. As for private collections, I can ask my uncle. He used to like collecting meteorites, but I don't know if he still has any."
Thinking of his uncle, Pan Weining smiled and said to Feng Yi, "My uncle, when he was a child, followed a meteorite hunter to hunt meteorites. He didn't tell his family and disappeared for more than a month. When he came back, my grandparents kept him at home for a long time."
The brothers Pan Weining and Pan Youning have a similar relationship to Feng Yi and Feng Chi. They are cousins and not born of the same mother.
Therefore, Pan Weining's uncle is more distantly related to Pan Youning.
However, Pan Youning had heard a lot about this uncle.
My family often uses this incident as an example.
"Not only that, I heard that this uncle also bought a lot of houses to store his various collections." Pan Youning recalled what he had heard.
Pan Weining nodded and said, "Yes, he bought a lot of houses."
Because his family conditions are good, this uncle gets a lot of pocket money and various red envelopes every year.
At that time, the climate was abnormal, social order was not very good, and housing prices in some areas were extremely low. This uncle easily bought several houses.
Who would have the money to buy a house in that place to store non-food and medicine items at that time
So after that, my uncle's pocket money was confiscated to prevent him from squandering money again.
Later, the abnormal climate period ended, the agricultural economy recovered, and housing prices began to soar again.
"After that, he invested in various things and sold a house when he needed money."
“… He is also a genius.” Feng Yi said.
"My grandparents said that he is a genius because the world has become better. If the climate anomaly continues, he will be a complete loser!" Pan Weining said, "In the living environment during the climate anomaly period, for most people, material supplies are more important for life."
Pan Weining is a few years older than Feng Yi, but he was young at that time and did not have a deep impression of the abnormal climate period. Moreover, when he was born, the most chaotic and difficult period had already passed.
However, Pan Weining's adventurous nature was more or less influenced by his uncle.
"The meteorite trade was very popular back then. Starting from the abnormal climate, the market was severely reshuffled. Some companies collapsed, but many others rose. People had a lot of ideas at that time. Some companies wanted to study meteorites from outer space. At that time, such regulations were not strict and everything was open to the public, so the trade was hot. But later, the price fell, and the meteorite trade gradually lost attention. My uncle also had other hobbies."
Pan Weining thought for a moment and continued, "He knows a lot of meteorite hunters. Even if he doesn't have any collections, he has channels to get them."
The so-called meteorite hunters follow the traces of meteorites to find this kind of prey from outer space.
It’s just that the development is different. Some people become rich overnight, while others lose everything.
Those who become rich overnight are extremely lucky and have found a rare and priceless variety that can be sold for four figures per gram!
However, those who are extremely lucky are a minority after all. Many more meteorite hunters spend all their wealth and end up with nothing.
"I haven't experienced it, but I've heard a lot of stories from my elders. During that period when meteorite speculation was particularly crazy, all kinds of myths about getting rich overnight appeared on the Internet, and several commercial companies bought them at high prices, causing a frenzy."
As he spoke, Pan Weining's eyes fell on Feng Yi's wrist: "Is this thing on your hand also a meteorite?"
"Yes, it's a meteorite." Feng Yi said.
"Can I see it?"
"certainly."
Feng Yi took off the bracelet and handed it over.
Pan Weining wiped his hands and looked at the beads with a cloth.
At first, he noticed the beads on Feng Yi's wrist and thought of many materials, but he had never thought of meteorites. He only asked this question after hearing Feng Yi mention it.
I didn’t expect it to be true!
When Pan Weining held them in his hands, he realized that the beads were heavier than he had expected, and the texture was indeed peculiar. For a moment he could not even tell what material they were made of.
If Feng Yi hadn't admitted it, he would never have thought of the meteorite.
Anyway, the meteorites he had seen before didn't look like this.
First reaction: Was Feng Yi cheated
Most of the people who play with meteorites in the current market are playing with fake meteorites, and all kinds of certificates are counterfeit in batches.
After taking it in his hand and examining it carefully, he felt that his initial judgment might be wrong. Perhaps it had undergone some processing technology that he was not aware of.
"This is the first time I've seen a meteorite of this material. Has it been processed?" Pan Weining asked.
"It has been processed." Feng Yi said, but did not elaborate.
"It looks pretty good after this processing." Pan Weining also became interested.
He has seen many bracelets made of pure meteorites, but he didn't like them very much. This one is very good. It is not too rough and has a cool artistic feel.
"Can I ask for the contact information of this master craftsman?" Pan Weining asked.
"Sorry, she has passed away." Feng Yi said.
"it's a pity!"
Pan Youning, who was standing next to him, was listening to his cousin talking to Feng Yi about meteorites, while he was absent-mindedly picking up some food with his clapper.
As soon as I put it in, the feeling was not right.
Huh
Huh
There was still half a plate of this dish in front of me!
Now, there is only this much left!
Pan Youning came back to his senses and looked at the other plates on the table.
Huh??!
When did the portion on the plate become so small
Is there an invisible diner sitting here? !
A chill rose up behind Pan Youning.
However, he soon noticed that things didn't seem that supernatural.
The guest they were going to entertain today took food unexpectedly frequently!
Is this all...
Pan Youning recalled again the answer Feng Yi gave when he was interviewed at an event:
I eat a lot.
This is really not modesty!
Feng Yi really eats a lot!
They had ordered a lot of dishes today, and according to the rule here that food should not be wasted, the two brothers were prepared to pack up most of them!
But looking at the situation in front of me, it seems that I can finish it on the spot!
There is no need to pack at all!
This this this…
Pan Youning lowered his eyes.
Feng Yi was wearing casual clothes today, and you couldn't tell whether he had a bulging belly.
Noticing Pan Youning's gaze, Feng Yi gave him a puzzled look.
Pan Youning couldn't help but ask: "Brother Yi, you didn't have breakfast this morning?"
Pan Weining glared at him.
It's so rude to ask!
"I've had breakfast." Feng Yi smiled nonchalantly, "I eat a lot anyway. I eat like this for every meal."
In fact, Feng Yi didn't forget to eat, he also controlled himself. It was impossible to maintain the normal amount of food when eating out, and it was not good to be hungry all the time. He could gradually change the initial impression of him by outsiders.
For example, in this meal, the way he eats is just like that of a big eater.
Pan Youning has also seen many big eaters doing food broadcasts on the Internet. Some of them are fake, but some of them really eat a lot.
"Big eater! It seems that real big eaters are not fat." Pan Youning said.
Pan Weining, who was sitting next to him, glared at him again.
How can you say that to your savior!
Many big eaters who cannot gain weight have problems with digestion and absorption. Much of the food they eat will not be absorbed, either because their gastrointestinal absorption function is poor, or because the rhythm is too fast and the food is excreted before it can be absorbed.
Is this something to be envied
No, I don’t envy you at all. Instead, I feel a little sympathetic.
Pan Youning thought so too, but he was not as good at hiding it as Pan Weining, and his thoughts were all clear on his face.
With a little sympathy, Pan Youning asked: "Brother Yi, is it because of your career that you have developed such a skill?"
"No, it's because of my personal physical condition." Feng Yi said.
"oh oh."
It turns out to be a problem with digestion and absorption function!
There is nothing we can do if it is due to physical reasons.
Pan Weining kicked his stupid cousin under the table and told him to stop talking.
In order to change the subject, Pan Weining asked Feng Yi: "Where are we going this afternoon? Museum? Concert? Internet cafe? Script-killing game? Paintball hall?"
Feng Yi thought for a moment and said, "The paintball hall."
It's just right for him to go to the museum alone.
There is no need for a concert. Feng Yi has just seen a performance a few days ago and is not interested in it for the time being.
He is not addicted to games and does not need to go to Internet cafes.
Script killing... He doesn't want to use his brain.
The paintball hall is pretty good, but I haven’t played it much. However, I have spent too much time in the library these two days, so it would be nice to move around.
