Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Babaoliang Village. The Zhou family!

Unlike in the past, there were armed guards outside and around Zhou's home, and there were soldiers patrolling even the alleys.

In Zhou Yang's house, five chefs including Zhou Yang were busy, and the whole yard was filled with the smell of meat.

The square table on the Kang in the room was now filled with all kinds of exquisite food, as well as several bottles of local sorghum wine.

These fine wines and delicacies were specially prepared by Zhou Yang for Heidai!

That's right, Zhou Yang has set up the dining place at home, and he wants to entertain Kuroda at home.

On the one hand, this is because there is really no high-end place to eat in the village, either a collective restaurant or a work canteen.

The collective hotel had to entertain Kuroda's entourage and those from the capital in the evening. In addition, the place was not big, so it was not suitable at all.

On the other hand, Zhou Yang saw Kurodai's intentions. He wanted to get closer to him, or he wanted to get some information from him by getting closer.

In this case, you have to be close to someone, and for northerners, the most intimate expression is not to "feel deeply" or to pull you to kowtow and worship your brother, but to invite you to your home for dinner.

Treating guests at home is not or not entirely about "giving others food", but more about "eating at home". It is the friendship of "eating a bowl of rice together" and it also means treating each other as family and friends.

Although some people in the foreign affairs department and the military have some opinions on Zhou Yang's arrangement.

But with Zhou Yang's insistence, the matter was settled like this.

In order to satisfy his guests, Zhou Yang specially asked people to go to the village to kill a cow, a sheep, and catch some chickens.

Of course, not all the cattle and sheep were just for Kurodai and him, there were hundreds of people at the guest house!

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, with the beeping sound of cars, a motorcade arrived at the gate of Zhou Yang's house.

Zhou Yang, who was busy in the room, knew that the guests were coming, so he immediately went out with an apron to greet him. Li Youwei and Zhang Zhongmou, who acted as translator, followed closely behind and walked out together.

As soon as Zhou Yang and Li Youwei arrived at the gate, they saw Hei Dai walking out of the car with the woman covered in black robe.

Then, surrounded by a group of guards, the two walked towards Zhou Yang and his wife.

As soon as they met, Zhou Yang said enthusiastically: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is welcome to my home. Let me introduce to you. This is my wife Li Youwei. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, can call her Ms. Li or Mrs. Zhou!"

Kurodai also said politely: "Zhou, and this beautiful lady, it is an honor to be a guest at your home!"

As he said that, Kuroyo clapped his hands behind him, and then he saw several members of the Presidential Guard walking in, each carrying a plate, with one or more things on each plate.

"His Royal Highness, what are you?"

"Haha, it's nothing. You Chinese people pay attention to mutual respect and courtesy. When you invite me to your home, you treat me as a real guest. Naturally, I can't come empty-handed. This is called etiquette!" Kuroshiro said.

These were all things Hei Dai specifically asked after receiving Zhou Yang's invitation.

After all, during the time he came to China, no matter who he ate with, he always ate in restaurants and never visited anyone's home.

It can be said that Zhou Yang was the first Chinese to invite him to his home!

Seeing what the other party said, Zhou Yang stopped saying anything and immediately invited Heidai into the house.

Kuroda was still very curious about Zhou Yang's home.

During this afternoon, he had already gained a certain understanding of Zhou Yang's identity through some channels.

Although it was only superficial and the expression was not so accurate and detailed, it could be seen that his status was unusual, at least higher than the Liu who had been accompanying them these past few days.

Therefore, he also wanted to see what the residence of a high-ranking official like Hua Xia would look like.

However, when he actually walked into Zhou Yang's house, he discovered that there were no pavilions or garden villas as he had imagined, but only a row of red brick huts.

Once inside the house, it's even easier.

There are only a few simple pieces of furniture that can be seen, and the electrical appliances seem to only have a light bulb and a TV. The home of any village chief in their country is much more luxurious than this.

Just when Heidai was shocked that Zhou Yang's home was simple and even "poor", Zhou Yang's voice came to his ears: "Your Highness, please come up to the Kang. There is one last dish. Come over when I serve it out." Accompany you!"

Then, under Kurodai's dumbfounded eyes, Zhou Yang transformed into the "Little Chinese Master" and began to demonstrate his cooking skills.

In just a few minutes, a dish of spicy stir-fried yellow beef was freshly cooked, put on a plate, and brought to the room. Only then did Zhou Yang take off his apron.

At this time, Kurodai, who had not yet got on the kang, looked at Zhou Yang in shock and said, "Zhou, did you cook these yourself?"

Zhou Yang wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Yes, in our country of China, when entertaining guests for a meal, sincerity can only be shown by the host and hostess of the family cooking in person."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince regards me as a friend, so I naturally have to show my sincerity, so I cooked these dishes myself!"

Hearing this, Heishiro was quite moved. This week in front of him was so honest and simple.

I just wanted to get something out of the other person's mouth, but I didn't expect that Zhou actually regarded him as a friend. Not only did he invite him to his home for dinner, but he also cooked the food himself.

At this moment, Heishiro felt not only moved, but also a little ashamed.

"Thank you Zhou, you are a person worth getting to know!"

"Your Highness, you are welcome. Please take a seat!"

Since it was a private banquet, apart from Zhou Yang and Hei Dai, only Zhang Zhongmou and the woman in black robe were accompanying them as translators.

Including Wen Hui, Bao'er, Zhang Tong, Jiang Bing, Huang Rufeng, Li Haiyan, and Heidai's personal bodyguards were all arranged by Li Youwei in the next room.

In the main room, after tasting a few dishes made by "Zhou Yang", Kuroda was full of praise.

He really didn't expect Zhou Yang's cooking to be so good, and it was no worse than the state banquet dishes they had eaten in the capital a few days ago.

For a moment, Kurodai couldn't help but praise him.

With this compliment, the relationship between the two became closer again.

At this time, Heidai suddenly looked at Zhou Yang and said: "Zhou, this afternoon we have formally submitted a request for arms procurement to your country. Do you know about this?"

"I heard about it, but I didn't pay much attention to it!" Zhou Yang said.

"Zhou, your country doesn't seem to be willing to export those high-end equipment to us. Do you think this matter will turn around?" Heidero asked tentatively.

Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Your Highness, I am just an ordinary cadre responsible for scientific research and production. I really don't know much about equipment exports, and I can't interfere!"

Hearing this, Kuroyo's eyes suddenly lit up.

From this sentence, he finally knew what Zhou Yang did—the head of the cutting-edge equipment R&D and production department.

No wonder he has such a strong aura that he dares to directly confront people from the foreign affairs department and the military. His status is indeed extraordinary.

"Zhou, as far as I know, your domestic economic situation is not very good, especially your scientific research units. Many of them are facing the crisis of bankruptcy. I wonder what the situation of your units is like?" Heidai said lightly.

Zhou Yang's brows instantly wrinkled, and his brows were filled with sadness, but it quickly disappeared.

"The situation in our unit is not bad. What's more, these things are military secrets. Even if there is anything, I can't reveal it to His Royal Highness. Please forgive me!"

Hearing this, Kuroyo showed a smile on his face, and then said: "Can I ask something that is not confidential?"

"If it doesn't involve military secrets, it doesn't matter much!" Zhou Yang said.

"Are the weapons you displayed in the morning all developed by your unit?"

"Yes, it's all the result of our unit!" Zhou Yang said truthfully.

"Has mass production been achieved?"

"All of them have been realized, and they have even been tested in actual combat!"

Hearing this, Kuroyo's expression changed slightly.

He recalled the border war that took place in the southern region of China at the beginning of the year. It took the Chinese army less than a month to push its troops beyond the security defense lines of the capital of the Southern Monkey Kingdom, shocking the world.

In this war, it is said that China used many new weapons. Could it be this batch of new equipment?

In order to formulate more words, Kuroyo looked at the wine bottle beside him.

He took the initiative to open the wine, poured a glass for himself and Zhou Yang, and then said: "Zhou, I can see that you are a straightforward person, and I, Kuroda, am also a straightforward person. It is really comfortable to chat with you. You I am determined to be this friend, and I toast you with this drink!"

After saying that, Kurodai raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.

Zhou Yang looked at the wine glass in front of him and couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth, but thinking of the established plan, he also raised the glass and drank it down in one gulp.

However, when Zhou Yang drank this large glass of white wine, Hei Dai saw that his expression was a little different, and he felt that something was not quite right...
