Chapter 418 Drinking hot coffee

Dai Ying took Ding Mu to the cafe on the top floor of the National Museum. This cafe is newly opened by the National Museum. It is of a very high quality. It offers a bird's-eye view of the Forbidden City. The view is very good, so the price is quite high. However, Ding Mu doesn't care about money at all. Anyway, if it is just consumption, his money has already been spent. It’s not over.

Ding Mu was not polite, picked up the menu and started reading: "Blue Mountain Coffee, French Finger Puffs, Strawberry Yoghurt Chestnut Cake, Tuna Sandwich, Grilled Sausage, Chocolate Mousse, Matcha Peach Cake, Opera House Cake, Ham Sandwiches, chicken steak sandwiches, dark chocolate mousse cake, white chocolate Cointreau mousse cake..."

The lady who was looking at the order was stunned, and Ding Mu said: "Remember, little sister."

The lady was stunned and said, "Ah, do you want all of these? I thought you were reading the menu."

Ding Mu chuckled: "Do you have to dance while reading the menu? All of these are required."

"I'm sorry, I didn't write it down, please read it again... Oh, no, please order it again, I'm really sorry." The ordering lady, wearing a plaid apron, said embarrassedly.

Ding Mu put together the menu and said, "Miss, I have memorized it all. Blue mountain coffee, French finger puffs, strawberry yogurt crispy chestnut cake, tuna sandwich, grilled sausage, chocolate mousse, matcha yellow peach cake , opera house cake, ham sandwich, chicken steak sandwich, dark chocolate mousse cake, white chocolate Cointreau mousse cake..."

Dai Ying knew Ding Mu, so she naturally knew that Ding Mu had a lot of money. But seeing how extravagant he was, he frowned slightly and said, "Oh, don't order so much, we won't be able to finish it later."

Ding Mu said: "It's rare that I like this place. It's on top of the Forbidden City. It's not easy to eat it once. If you can't finish it, I'll take it away with you."

When Dai Ying heard what Ding Mu said, she didn't seem to be out of touch with this new acquaintance. She felt sweet in her heart even before she had eaten the dessert. Her salary is usually not as high as what she earns here. After all, a cup of coffee costs more than 200.

The two of them were eating and drinking Blue Mountain coffee, and Ding Mu said, "Dai Ying, do you know the specialties of this Blue Mountain coffee?"

Dai Ying was the explainer, but her knowledge was not enough to cover this, so she shook her head and said: "I know that Blue Mountain Coffee is from Jamaica, but I really don't know what the details are."

Ding Mu said: "Actually, I only know a little bit. No matter what crops are planted, natural climate is the most critical factor. In the Blue Mountains, the weather, geological structure and terrain together provide an ideal place for growing coffee. .The ridge that runs through Jamaica extends to the east of the island, and the Blue Mountains are more than 2,100 meters high. The weather is cool, foggy, and precipitation is frequent. Use this rich soil to mediate the rain.

In terms of quality, from top to bottom they are: NO.1, NO.2, NO.3 and PB. PB is round beans. According to CIB standards, only coffee grown above an altitude of 666 meters is called Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, and below 666 meters is alpine coffee. This coffee is Blue Mountain No. 3 coffee. No. 1 is said to be supplied directly to the royal family. No. 2 is basically monopolized by Japan. It is rare for us to drink authentic No. 3 coffee. The cost of a cup is fifty yuan. However, I have never drank No. 1 coffee. If we have a chance, let’s try No. 1 coffee together. "

"Okay. It's a deal." Dai Ying liked what Ding Mu said very much, not because she was also a commentator, but because Ding Mu gave her a thread to contact her in the future.

Ding Mu smiled, took a few more sips of the coffee, which had no idea how good it was, and asked: "Let me ask, are you, a professional commentator, very busy at work?"

Dai Ying shook her head and said: "Actually, it's not very busy. We only need to give two lectures a day. We only need to lecture four days a week, which is a total of eight lectures. As long as the workload is completed, that's it. There is a lot of other time. , very leisurely. However, doing this industry does require a strong knowledge reserve, so we usually spend time reading books and constantly updating our knowledge when we are in the unit. Especially sometimes, big leaders come to visit, or there are temporary The exhibition will be busier because there are more things to prepare.”

Ding Mu nodded and said, "That sounds good. I only have to work four days a week. I feel like I never have Saturdays and Sundays."

Dai Ying said with a smile: "In a public institution, the salary is not high, which means the benefits are not bad, and the lunch fee is only one yuan. Basically, it is just a symbolic fee. If I have a chance, I will take you to eat in our employee restaurant. In fact, it is quite delicious, there are many kinds of food, and it only costs 15 yuan to bring people to eat.”

Ding Mu smiled, noncommittal. Because his personality is not to seek the best, but to seek the most expensive, he will not eat this kind of 15 yuan lunch.

However, what Dai Ying said next really caught his attention, and he felt that the 15 yuan work meal was still worth it.

"A lot of old experts, old researchers and our curators eat here. So the food is pretty good."

The word "old expert" immediately attracted Ding Mu's attention, because he now has a batch of precious cultural relics in his hands, and he wants to discuss and learn from the old expert!

Ding Mu asked casually: "Dai Ying, let me ask you something, who is your curator? Is he the most famous expert? What does he mainly study?"

When Dai Ying heard Ding Mu ask about the curator, she frowned unconsciously. There was a hint of unexplainable meaning in her eyes, as if she didn't like the curator very much.

However, she still answered Ding Mu's question: "Our curator is called Shen Gongwang. He is a calligrapher. He must have made some achievements in painting."

Ding Mu had never heard of this curator and calligrapher at all, so he reluctantly said: "Oh, I am really ignorant. This is the first time I have heard of this curator Shen Gongwang."

At this time, Dai Ying's eyes showed a trace of disdain. This disdain was obviously not directed at Ding Mu, but at Shen Gongwang. She said: "In the near future, our curator will be famous. Yes, he often holds his own calligraphy and painting exhibitions in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He held thirty-eight exhibitions in a row and sold a lot of calligraphy and paintings. He sold 15,100 square feet. Well, it seems that he made a lot of money. Where’s the money?”

As soon as Ding Mu heard what Dai Ying said, he completely understood what she meant. She must have looked down upon the curator who held an exhibition for her. Therefore, he asked seriously: "Dai Ying, let me ask you something again? Where did we talk about this matter? It will never be spread to outsiders. I am just curious. What do you think of you, Director Shen? His What level can this calligraphy attainment reach? It can actually hold thirty-eight art exhibitions in a row."

"Hmph. Is his calligraphy? It's pretty good. At least he learned from a famous master. Well, it costs about 100 to 150 yuan per square foot, which is about this level. If it exceeds that, it will be expensive. As for his paintings Er... Dai Ying directly gave a very vulgar example, "You take off your pants, dip it in ink, and sit on the rice paper. That's basically the level. "

"Pfft." Ding Mu took a sip of hot coffee before he could spit it out. Dai Ying's disparagement of him had almost reached the extreme. Is Director Shen such a good person? It seems that there is something else going on here, not just low level.
