C33 Chapter 33

When the flagpoles stand up, the yard is completely cleaned up. Next, I was busy preparing to invite President Daru and his wife. After coming to Gido, I met President Daru a few times, this is my honor. Every time I saw President Daru, he would mention his visits to our country, and he wouldn't forget the delicious food he ate during his visits.

"When will I invite you to the embassy as a guest? I'll make a few dishes for you and your wife" Seeing that President Daru is so obsessed with our dishes, I couldn't help but say one more thing.

"Alright, then it's a deal" I didn't think that I would casually say that. But Daru took it for real.

When I was on George Island, I was busy dealing with endless things. I never had the time. After moving to the new building and renovating the courtyard, Since I don't have much to do, I think it's time to fulfill my promise. Inviting President Daru and his wife to the embassy. I can take this opportunity to thank President Daru for his support on the RH International Organization problem, and I can also report to him about the progress of the two countries' medical and hygiene cooperation.

I'll call the President's secretary, Sequeira, to invite him to dinner. Sequeira quickly replied, "I've reported to President Daru, the President said that they're free this Friday. "

"Then Friday, 6: 30 PM" I hesitated for a moment before saying.

I originally thought that it would be best to set it for next week. This way, I would have more time to prepare. But it's better to choose a day than a day, the President will set it on Friday, that's Friday. This is Wednesday, which means, at full count, I only have two days to prepare.

"Alright, remember to send me an invitation," Sequeira said very professionally.

"No problem," I replied. Sequeira's habit of asking for an invitation was to be a secretary. There was a written invitation that could avoid making a mistake in the time and place. Such an invitation actually served as a reminder. On the invitation, the words "Onley Tormond" had to be written. This was a matter of diplomatic importance.

I'm naturally excited that the President agreed to be a guest at the embassy. To be able to invite the President to the embassy, To a diplomat, it's a huge honor. Resident overseas, The most difficult thing for the envoys to do was to make an appointment with the president of the country. The President is the ruler of a country, High above, most affairs are handled by the Ministers, When an envoy is in trouble, he can look for the Vice Minister of the Ministry. There's no need to directly look for the President, so the President is definitely not someone you can meet just because you want to. If they wanted to meet the President, it would be difficult. What's harder than meeting the President is to invite the President to the embassy as a guest. Thinking about it, that makes sense. When the President sees an ambassador, it can be considered a working relationship. It's because of the need of the relationship between the two countries. Agree to accept the invitation, come to the embassy as a guest, That would be another matter, beyond the working relationship. To personal relationships. That was unusual, so for any envoy, To be able to invite the President, it would be hard to hide the excitement, Or even proud.

To be honest, When Sequeira called me and confirmed that the President was coming to the embassy, I couldn't avoid being a bit proud. But at the same time, I was also a bit conflicted. My mentality was contradictory, and I was eager to try, but I was also worried that I might mess up the banquet.

"You tell me, he's the President after all. Right? You know, the President is coming to visit, and I don't have any chefs here, so I can only cook by myself, "I said to Blondie.

I think I can cook. I've worked in the farm cafeteria for a few days, and I often cook at home. I'll be in charge of the dishes on holidays. More importantly, After so many years, I've unexpectedly received the influence of a lot of cooking culture in the embassy. Most of our embassy is equipped with professional chefs. Those chefs come from various restaurants in the country. They are all experts in the industry. I've been a guest official at the embassy, so I'm in charge of treating them. I often need to interact with them, and I am influenced by them. Naturally, I secretly learned a few moves. After coming to Gido, I invited Minister Divip and his wife. The Bowers also invited the Renjie couple, They were all cooked by me, and my reputation was pretty good.

But then again, no matter how well I cook, I'm still an amateur, and I can't compare to a professional chef. This time, I'll treat the president and his wife. . . Although it's a family dinner, it's not really a formal banquet. You don't need to pay too much attention to the food. But no matter what, Daru was still the ruler of a country. With my standards, inviting the President, it is inevitable for me to feel guilty. I am afraid of neglecting him.

"It's useless to think about it now, the time has already been set, there's no way out" I said to the yellow-haired man. No matter how conflicted he was with the pit he dug, no matter how guilty he was, he had to jump into it.

I quickly printed out an invitation and can give it to Syracuse at any time.

What I need to do now is to prepare a menu. When I was a guest official at the embassy, one of my jobs was to invite you to dinner every time. Let me inform the chef to open a menu. Then I'll send the leader for approval. When the leader agrees, the chef will prepare according to the menu. As for me, I want to make the official menu for both languages. At that time, there was no computer. In English, it was written by a typing machine, and the square characters could only be written by hand. I used a pen to write the body of the book. I write it in English. With so many hands on the menu, I naturally know the dishes on the menu like the back of my hand. Usually, there would be a soup on the menu of the banquet. A pangolin plate, three meat and one vegetable, four hot dishes. The main dishes were mostly fried rice. Occasionally, it could also be noodles and desserts. In the end, it would definitely be a fruit plate.

To me, it's not difficult to draw up a menu. The difficult part is that I can't find the ingredients I need. In Jido, I don't need anything like in China. He could only act according to the circumstances and do whatever he had. I thought about it. Since the Cold Plate is more difficult to deal with, then I won't have to worry about it. I don't want that. Fruit wasn't a problem, but fruit was. Of course, The people here paid particular attention to eating imported fruits. That's easy. I can ask Brian to find me a cantaloupe. Just add in the peach. The main course is also easy. Egg Fried Rice is the best representation of our food culture. Then the Egg Fried Rice.

The most difficult dish is the hot dish. Jido couldn't buy meat or pork. He didn't have beef or mutton either, so he could only ask for the second best. He would use chicken. There was only the frozen chicken in the shop. The frozen chicken could be used to make crispy chicken. That was one thing. In the midst of the scattered vegetables, Most of the domestic banquets were used for Mushroom Cuisine, but Yoshido did not have any Mushroom Cuisine. He also did not have any Cuisine Cuisine Cuisine. Gido had taro and potatoes. Taro was a real estate company, and potatoes were imported. There were only these two choices. Jido didn't have any delicacies, so he didn't lack seafood. The other two options could be chosen from the seafood. I've decided to go to the seafood market the next day. I'll see what good stuff I can find and then confirm the menu. I will talk about the soup when the time comes.

The next day, just as I was about to go to Bakas to buy some food, Balls called me and told me to go to his place. He said that he had something to discuss with me. I thought about it. Balls must be looking for me about the partnership in medical and hygiene, so he drove straight to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"I'm sorry, I brought you here in such a hurry. " The moment we met, Balls said.

"It's fine. " Although I said it was fine, I was still thinking about the banquet in my heart.

"I know you have other things to do. " Balls seemed to have noticed that I was thinking about something else. "How about this, iconostrich Two. "

I didn't say anything. Balls said that he wanted to get straight to the point. I'll wait for him to continue.

"Last time, when you came to my place, we talked about the medical and health cooperation agreement and the aid supplies," Balls said. "I talked to my colleagues in the relevant departments. We had different opinions in the workplace. We couldn't reach an agreement. "

" What's the main problem? " When I heard that, I immediately concentrated.

"Wales, I'll tell you the truth. I won't hide it from you. There were three main points. One was how the medical team operated, two was how the medical team was allocated, and three was the standard problem of medical equipment and medicine. The main points were probably these three questions, "Balls said.

" The first two problems are easy to solve, "I said. " According to our experience, after our medical team came, they all worked together with the local doctors in the local hospital. I don't think that's a problem. "

"That's fine," said Powers.

"As for the allocation of the medical team, it mainly depends on the needs. If you need anything, we can discuss it," I continued.

"That shouldn't be a problem," Balls agreed.

"The third problem is more complicated," I said.

"I think so too. What about the standards?" Balls said.

"Yeah, you're carrying out the standards left behind during the colonization period," I said.

"Yes," Balls said.

"As far as I know, we're carrying out international standards," I said.

"Welle, I think so too, but my words are not convincing," Balls spread his hands and said.

"I understand," I said. From Balls' words, I could tell that. . . Someone was using standards to talk about things. . . Powers is unable to convince them.

"How about this," Balls suggested. "We have a temporary team here to develop the two countries' medical and hygiene cooperation. I'll arrange a meeting with the group and invite you to participate. This way, you can answer their questions in person. "

" No problem "I'll just say," Can I ask, which members are there in the group? "

"Welle, the group leader is the Minister of Society Development and Fishery Department, Divip. The General Secretary of the Ministry of Society Development and Fishery Management, Spis, and I are the deputy group leaders. The members are Mr. Depei and the Director of the Baccas National Hospital, Di Carter. There will also be some other staff members. "

When I heard that Depei was participating, I understood the gist of it. Since the last time, I have had an unpleasant encounter with Depei during the RH International Conference. It has been a while since I last saw him. It seems like enemies never meet, and now I want to meet him again.

"Last time, we had a meeting. Minister Diwp didn't come to attend," Balls said.

"Then when do you plan to attend the meeting?" I asked.

"What do you think about tomorrow?" Balls asked.

"I'm sorry, I have to invite the president and his wife on Friday," I said.

"Then next week" Balls said, "I'll tell you when the time is set"

"Okay, then I'll wait for your notification" I said.

"Okay, then I'll see you next week," Balls said.

"How about tomorrow?" As he shook hands with Balls and said goodbye, I suddenly changed my mind. I don't think I can think about this at the same time. While preparing the president and his wife's dinner. I might as well hold the meeting first and get rid of my mental illness. . . So that he could concentrate on preparing the banquet. Besides, if the meeting could not solve the problem. . . I can also ask the President for help.

"You changed your mind?" Balls asked.

"Yes, it's too late next week. We still have to wait that long," I said.

"Alright, then tomorrow," Balls said.
