<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Biden's fried liver, Powell's duck</h1>
As Biden announced his victory in the US election, people began to care about the 78-year-old comrade, and when they saw people trotting onto the stage and going straight to He Koi, they lamented that the old comrade had an enterprising heart and was in good health.
Two seventy-somethings are desperately trying hard for a goal, how can we give up?
This phrase is about to become a new buzzword in Beijing.
At the same time, some friends thought about it and said that this is not the vice president of the United States who eats fried liver in Beijing? Finally turned right.
Biden, who accompanied Obama to Beijing in 2011, ate fried liver in YaoJi
The person who took him to the snack bar that time was Locke Jiahui, then the US ambassador to China, and it was said that the two spent more than eighty yuan, and the vice president himself paid a hundred, saying that there was no need to look for it. Many people have recently run to Yao Ji to eat fried liver, and it is said that they have to queue for 40 minutes to get in line.
This is indeed true, but in fact Biden did not eat fried liver, he ordered fried sauce noodles - Americans are still a little hungry for fried liver. The real value was that he had brought his granddaughter with him.
This is Naomi (left), who is now running with him, and Lao Bai sometimes gets confused and treats her as his deceased son
Coincidentally, these two days, I chatted with Mr. Liu Yida, and he said that there was another US politician who suddenly ran to a private restaurant when he visited Beijing, and this person was former US Secretary of State Powell, who visited Beijing in 2003.
Colin Powell, former U.S. Secretary of State for a four-star general
On Powell's visit to China, everything was normal, and suddenly he did something strange himself
According to Mr. Liu Yida, when Powell came to Beijing in 2003, the secretary of state suddenly disappeared after attending an event. In the early years, there was a movie called "Kidnapping Karajan", which was not blindly pondered, so there was a confusion up and down, and I hurried to find out where this old brother ran.
Mr. Yida is a famous foodie in the Beijing Evening News, and he is familiar with all kinds of things related to eating in Beijing
Finally found it. It turned out that this person had only taken two retinues and ran to the Jinyang Restaurant in Xuanwu District, and had already ordered. At that time, there were many foreign guests in Beijing, and there were many foreign interstitials, and Powell and his party were only three people, and the treasurer looked at him and felt familiar but did not expect that it was the US secretary of state who came, so he treated everyone equally, he should order food, and he should queue up.
What's going on? Is the amount of dishes at our state banquet too small to eat, come here to make up for a late night snack?
Only after understanding the situation did we know that it turned out that this person ran to jinyang restaurant because of the recommendation of former US President George H. Bush.
Powell and the Bush family have always had a good relationship
Bush Sr. used to cycle around Beijing
When he learned that he was going to visit China, the elder Bush instigated him -- when he arrived in Beijing, he must go to the Jinyang Restaurant and eat the crispy duck there, otherwise, you would go in vain.
Therefore, when Powell arrived in Beijing, he inquired about the place of Jinyang Restaurant, and the state banquet left his stomach and specially ordered this dish. When our staff found him, the ducks had just come up.
So what to do? that...... You have to let people eat it.
In fact, there are not many such scenes in Sino-foreign exchanges, japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto and British Prime Minister Thatcher, have all gone to Restaurants in Beijing to eat.
Of course, after telling the story, we also discussed it, and felt that whether it was Biden's grandson who occupied the seat in advance and lined up to order food, or Powell who was quietly hidden, it was unlikely to be truly completely free, mostly a tacit understanding between the two sides - of course, to say that the boss who sold fried liver was a staff member of a certain bureau in our country, and the brothers also beat the unbelief, if so, people would not have been sold until now. Think about the other day when Wang Ye thought that every Chinese student is like a spy...
To get back to the point, such a move is definitely a plus for an American politician, so why should we do bad things for others?
Intriguingly, after eating Beijing's fried sauce noodles (fried sauce noodles from fried liver restaurants), Biden's attitude toward China during that visit was not a mess, and he said that he was just as choking. Therefore, Chinese will not be naïve enough to think that a politician will be close to us when he eats fried liver, and if so, the Ministry of Foreign Trade should open a fried liver department.
Our Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mr. Wang, said it well: "We note that Mr. Biden has declared his election a success. We understand that the outcome of the election will be determined in accordance with the laws and procedures of the United States. On your second question (when will China send a congratulatory message?) ), we will handle it in accordance with international practice. We have always maintained that China and the United States should strengthen communication and dialogue, manage differences on the basis of mutual respect, expand cooperation on the basis of mutual benefit, and promote the healthy and stable development of China-US relations. ”
Since we are so rational, why do we still remember the little things that happened in the fried liver shop?
Perhaps, we just miss the era when people and countries can face normally, regardless of whether the two sides are holding arms or breaking wrists. The second uncle of the neighbor said, after living for such a long time, I have not seen anything, good people we can also deal with, bad people we can also deal with, that is, don't deal with crazy people - unless you are not normal. We're kind of expecting it —it's not normal, it should be less than 78 years old.
But not necessarily, 74, there are also very abnormal it, four years, may not be able to change anything.
Playing chess is very good, and no one likes to lift the chessboard - there may be a bowl of fried sauce noodles on it.
