"I found three top chefs and tried many times. One was made based on the description in "Dream of Red Mansions", one was made with Western tastes, and the other was based on a combination of other literature. The three final recipes tasted the same. Great. Madam, please try it first. In fact, 'qiegu' is a dry vegetable, suitable for breakfast porridge, and should not be eaten in large quantities. In the past two days, I have prepared all the specialties in Guangxi. You will definitely like it. "
"Hmm... Very good. I'm looking forward to lunch. What do you want to eat?"
"After breakfast, I showed the menu to my wife. There are dozens of dishes in total, and she can choose from them. However, there is a dish of 'Bama Roasted Fragrant Pig' that is already being prepared. Bama is a place name, which is a unique local dish. The fragrant pig is very good. By the way, the Bama area is also a famous longevity town in China, where many people can live to be over 100 years old."
"real?"
"Yes, according to official statistics, there are 30 centenarians for every 100,000 people in Bama, and there are even more people in their eighties and nineties. It is said that the mountains and rivers are very nourishing. Many people will go there to take care of themselves after retirement..."
Yangshuo Dongling, on the terrace of the mountain top courtyard.
Janet was obviously very interested in the topic brought up by Chen Qing, and looked at Simon with bright eyes.
Simon skillfully used his chopsticks to pick up a dish of eggplant made according to the records of "A Dream of Red Mansions". Somewhat strangely, he found that he unknowingly preferred the one with butter flavor. When Janet looked over, he said casually: "I I think this is due to regional longevity genes and has nothing to do with the environment. Now more and more studies have proven that lifespan is also hereditary. However, if you are interested, we can take a look together."
Janet is a very smart woman. After hearing Simon's explanation, she lost interest, but she still couldn't help but ask: "Then how long do you think we two can live?"
"At least for now, 90 years old should be fine, just like your father and grandfather. That may not be the case in the future."
Raymond Johnston is 79 years old. The old man, who was about to turn eighty, was still able to ride a horse and hunt, without the aging appearance that an old man should have at all. Janet's grandfather, Nicholas Johnston, also lived to the age of 90 and died without any illness. Therefore, Simon and Janet were The longevity of the vein gene is quite impressive.
Janet was a little troubled: "But, I don't want to become a 90-year-old old lady in the future."
Simon smiled and said: "Then let's hope that our research on human life sciences will bear fruit. We will start investing fully now, and maybe we will have a breakthrough in 30 years."
Janet blinked, feeling that the little bastard opposite was doing it on purpose.
Thirty years later, according to the age of modern people and someone's status, Simon, who is not yet 60 years old, can still be regarded as young and powerful.
She couldn't wait that long.
Suddenly remembering something, Janet said to Simon: "Didn't you ask Jenny to build Solvay College in Malibu? You are still looking for talented young people. I want at least half of them to turn to this field, 20 years, at most. .”
Simon nodded: "Okay, but you should be more careful and don't be so lazy all the time."
Janet quit again: "I don't want to get wrinkles from fatigue."
Chen Qing quietly listened to the couple's conversation while eating her breakfast. She was keenly aware of the strange connection between Janet's words, 'How long can we live?' and Simon's answer. However, some of the Johnston family secrets were not hers. Able to know. My ears pricked up as I continued to hear the couple talking about research on human life sciences.
Immortality.
This can be regarded as an obsession of mankind for thousands of years.
With the insight of a modern person, Chen Qing naturally knows that the ancient emperors' behavior of seeking immortality medicine is a joke in vain. However, with the development of modern science today, human beings have a deeper and deeper understanding of the nature of life. If we add With the support of the almost inexhaustible huge wealth of the Westeros family, maybe they will be able to achieve some breakthroughs in the future.
Of course, immortality is still a fantasy. After all, nothing in this world is eternal. However, if you live for tens or hundreds of years longer, or keep your youthful appearance for a few more decades, it should be no problem.
Not many people can refuse this temptation to survive longer.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Qing said in time during the break between the couple's conversation: "Madam, I have recently found a total of 176 teenagers with extraordinary intelligence between the ages of 6 and 12 across China. Preliminary tests, Their IQs are above 140, and I was originally going to mention this to my boss today."
Before Janet could respond, Simon was already a little surprised: "You found so many in such a short time?"
The Solvay plan was finalized in February, and now just over two months have passed. Even if Chen Qing has always attached great importance to her own requirements, it is impossible to spend all her time on this matter.
Faced with Simon's doubts, Chen Qing explained: "Boss, there are many classes and schools specially set up for extraordinary children all over China, which are easy to find. Moreover, China has 1.2 billion people, and the base is so large, 176 or so There are not many. If the boss relaxes some requirements, it will be no problem to find thousands of people with IQs above 130."
In fact, the world has never lacked people with naturally high IQs.
Again, due to various constraints imposed by the day after tomorrow, most of them have been buried.
It's all gone.
Simon was not going to lower his standards. He thought about it and said, "Then you can start arranging for these children to study abroad now. The specific details..." At this point, Simon looked at Janet: "Didn't you just want people, these children?" Will you be responsible for the placement?"
Janet instantly forgot her desire for eternal youth and decisively refused: "I don't take care of children. I don't even take care of my own children."
“…”
Really honest.
My mother.
Chen Qing took the initiative and said thoughtfully: "Boss, I already have some ideas about this matter, why don't you let me arrange it?"
Simon hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "You just heard that a school is being built in Los Angeles to accommodate these gifted children. This matter, um... Jenny in Los Angeles is in charge. You can discuss it with her and get it done earlier. If children take over, they can receive better education earlier.”
At the end of breakfast time, the mist in the mountains dissipated as the sun rose, and the beautiful natural picture composed of strange peaks and beautiful waters was more clearly displayed in front of everyone.
Of course, such a beautiful landscape must be matched by a beautiful woman.
So there is beauty.
100 members of the Chinese style art troupe, carefully selected from 260,000 candidate girls, had arrived before Simon and his wife.
The wide cliffside terrace of hundreds of square meters has also become the best dance venue.
This is Simon's first meeting with the girls.
And the first dance was the song "Plucking Wei" that Simon had come up with very early on based on the information in his memory.
Not only are the girls performing, Chen Qing also formed a classical band composed entirely of young women to provide accompaniment, which is a bit like the Twelve Women's Orchestra in my memory.
When the melodious guqin prelude sounded on the terrace on the top of the mountain, the maids and guards in the other courtyard gathered together, standing or sitting around the Simons and looking towards the terrace. As the sound of the piano turned to lively and lively, eight young girls on each side waiting in aqua classical dresses floated into the center of the terrace with light dance steps.
The singing started.
This is another group of dancers who have no performance duties singing live beside the classical band.
*…
*I am gone in the past, and the willows are still there.
*Now that I’m thinking about it, it’s raining and snowing.
*…
Repeatedly, simply.
Only these four sentences, one chant and three sighs, accompanied by the graceful, delicate, bright or charming dance postures of the dancers, this heaven and earth, this landscape, and this beautiful woman, truly constitute a fairyland on earth that many people have difficulty experiencing in their lifetime.
Janet initially thought that Simon's formation of the so-called "National Style Art Troupe" was just a whim and chaos. At this time, watching the girls dance and listening to this simple but intoxicating music, she unknowingly immersed herself in it. Beautiful things never Like wine, it makes people intoxicated. The other Wei family maids and guards who were lucky enough to watch were even more amazed.
When the song ended, the girls floated gracefully out of the center of the terrace, and everyone applauded in unison.
Simon, who was still wearing the Hanfu, clapped gently and looked at Janet opposite the shorter girl: "How is it?"
Janet rolled her eyes at him, but still affirmed: "This is art, the most beautiful oriental art."
"Their names are beautiful too."
"I know, you asked Chen to make a lot of jade plaques. But don't think you can't tell because I'm not as good at Chinese. Many of the names are very clichéd, like Xiao Ming, haha. Some of them are weird, that one , Zhanzhao, can you call me by name?"
"All names are not names at first. As more people use them, they become names. For example, Simon Westeros. At first, everyone thought the name was weird, but when the name appeared in front of them a thousand times, it became a name. Thousands of times, everyone will get used to it, and some people will find this name very personal and even imitate it. You have to know that many people have really changed their surnames to Westeros over the years. The same goes for unevenness... " Having said this, Simon turned to look at Chen Qing: "Which one is the difference?"
Chen Qing quickly called out a girl, who happened to be among the sixteen people in "Plucking Wei" just now.
Even though they have already begun to immigrate, the girls only really found out that their boss behind the scenes was Simon Westeros in the past few days because they were coming to Yangshuo. At this time, the slim and melon-faced girl in front of them was obviously reserved in front of Simon. This was The person who made a big fuss on TV and newspapers two days ago.
Even if we don’t mention this, who wouldn’t know about Simon Westeros, the richest man in the world
Originally, the girls were brought here suddenly, and they were a little worried that something bad would happen to them. Seeing that Simon Westeros and his wife were both there, another worry was eliminated.
So all that remains is tension and restraint.
After being brought to Simon and Janet by Chen Qing, the girl named Sanzhao didn't know what to do for a while.
The two big figures in front of her were leaning on the low stone table in front of them, one cross-legged and the other slanted, while she, who was 170cm tall, was slim and graceful. When she approached, they immediately had to look up to see her.
This is obviously inappropriate.
Fortunately, Chen Qing quickly helped her solve the problem. She and another waitress quickly laid a soft long cushion in front of the Simon couple's short table. With a slight signal, the girl named Zanzao knelt down and sat on it naturally.
Kneeling is actually an ancient ritual. However, here, if there is no difference in status, it is actually far-fetched. However, no one at the scene seems to think it is inappropriate. Some girls from the Chinese style art troupe are a little envious of being able to be praised by Simon. ·Westeros shouted to the one in front of him.
The faint fragrance of a woman came. Simon looked at the girl in front of him and subconsciously blurted out a little joke: "Where is your jade?"
Hearing this, the girl quickly raised her hand to her neck, gently took off the jade pendant she wore in front of her and handed it to Simon. Seeing the man gently caressing it, she couldn't help but blush when she remembered the position of the jade at the bottom. He lowered his head slightly.
Janet also came over to admire it, held Simon's big hand in her little hand and looked at it for a moment, and said, "It's so beautiful."
The design of the 'ragged' jade is a fluffy and smooth aquatic plant. The selection of seed material and the carving of the aquatic plant are obviously carefully designed and full of artistic sense.
When Simon heard what Janet said, he smiled and said, "Didn't Chen give you several as gifts? If you like them, you can make some more."
Janet became interested: "Then what do you think my name should be? I also want to have a Chinese name?"
"Well, they have already taken away the better names in the Book of Songs. You can only choose from other ancient books." Seeing Janet let go, she returned the jade to the girl in front of her and asked again: "Yes Now, where’s your last name?”
"My surname is Wei."
"Wei Sancha, Wei Sancha, very good," Simon read it twice and said to Chen Qing beside him: "You did a good job."
After deciding on the final candidate himself, Simon left the matter of the name to Chen Qing.
Chen Qing's eyebrows were curved: "Actually, the names given by the boss are all very good. The key is to match them with the surname. Just like San Chao, if it is Wang Can Chao or Li San Chao, it will sound a little weird, but Wei San Chao feels very match."
Simon hummed and turned to look at the other "Caiwei" dancers standing not far away. He did not ask the girl in front of him her previous name because he was not interested. After immigrating to the United States, the girls' various identification documents will be It's Simon's new name. However, the other two in the "Caiwei" team are a little different.
Because we know each other.
This is also the only person among the 100 girls that Simon confirmed he had known in his previous life.
Simon didn't mean anything about this at first, but since he was on the final list, he casually added it.
After thinking about it, Simon gestured to the girls and said to Chen Qing: "Let's stop here today. You will get drunk if you look at too many beautiful things at once, which is not good. Now, let them come over and drink tea together. This is a reward."
Chen Qing originally planned to introduce the second dance called "Chu Yun". After hearing what the man said, she nodded, called the girls dancing "Plucking Wei" over, and then told the second team of dancers who were waiting. Go back and rest for now.
Soon, all 16 girls gathered around Simon and his wife.
Interestingly, the two people Simon knew, because they paid special attention, happened to notice that they took the initiative to sit closest to Simon, obviously and deliberately.
The maids brought tea, and Simon also held a cup and looked up.
Because we knew each other, I deliberately remembered the information of the two girls. They were both from the famous Oriental Song and Dance Troupe in China, and they were classmates at the High School Affiliated to the Beijing Dance Academy a little earlier. The two girls' new names are also very beautiful. One is Chen Xingwei, taken from "The Book of Songs·Daya·Xingwei", and the other is called Li Youhu, taken from "The Book of Songs·Weifeng·Youhu".
Before that, the formal names of the two women later became more widely known.
The former had a single name of "捍". Probably because this character was too uncommon, the name was later changed to "Shu", the famous Tielihua. The latter is also familiar, named Xiaoran, and Simon likes the other person's "Big Husband" very much.

PS:
Yesterday, the first two updates in so many years, a chapter was blocked. I was speechless.
I originally wanted to challenge two updates in a row over the weekend, but I spent several hours today rewriting the blocked chapter, and could only do one update (and that chapter has not passed the rewrite, so it still needs to be rewritten).
I just want to say that you should have noticed that there is no anti-theft sticker chapter in recent days.
In fact, I hate those words more than anyone else, and I have always felt very guilty for doing this. I would like to say sorry to everyone.
Very, very sincerely, I'm sorry.
Because of my guilty conscience, I never dared to read book reviews or say anything about this chapter. I feel ashamed to everyone, knowing that I would definitely be scolded.
After a few days of normal updates, I dared to check it out.
The most surprising thing is that I discovered that I actually have three alliance leaders, and this book can actually have alliance leaders!
Still want to say.
I feel sorry for the three leaders.
There are also 500 helmsmen who are fully occupied on the fan list.
Anyway.
It wasn’t a sudden enlightenment. I have always been enlightened.
I just felt very emotional recently and felt that I should change something, and then I tried to change it.
First, I plan to finish the rest of this book.
Even if it is not updated that day, there will no longer be a few words about the anti-theft sticker chapter. Of course, I will definitely update as many times as possible, and I will try to update two or three times.
I promise.
In fact, I don’t know how much is left. The reason I opened this book is that the previous one was sealed. Unfortunately, I decided to start over from the beginning. Although the protagonist in the book has now reached his peak, many things imagined have not yet been written.
all in all.
First, I would like to sincerely say sorry to all the readers who have read this far.
Then.
Please watch my update to see the effect.
Sincerely.
