159 Inheriting the Mantle
Because of the topic just now, the atmosphere at the dinner table froze for a while, which also inspired a table of good meals.
Since he had been on the plane for most of the day, Gao Xun's stomach would be growling more or less at this time, so he was not polite. Facing this table of meals full of hometown flavor, Gao Xun did not "put down the chopsticks" at all. "Be merciful" means, after a while, a large plate of braised pork slices has been wiped out by the three of them.
"Knock knock knock..."
When Gao Xun was about to move his chopsticks to the next target, there was a polite knock on the door.
"Come in."
"Hey..." The person who came was none other than the small owner of the restaurant, and there was hot goat milk on the dining car behind him that Li Hongjun had just explained.
"Boss Li, the goat milk you asked for is here, it's hot, don't burn your mouth."
"It's okay, it's okay... Oh, it's all filled up." After finishing speaking, Li Hongjun pointed to the empty bowls on Jin Guangzhu and Gao Xun's dining table.
After the owner of the restaurant filled them all with goat milk, Li Hongjun looked a little embarrassed: "Old Gao, you see, Captain Jin doesn't drink, and I drive too, so..."
"Understood, it's okay, I'm drinking less now."
Indeed, after Gao Xun settled down in Nanhu City, he also seldom drank alcohol.
The main reason is that when drinking, you need to have a confidant who can talk about the wine, otherwise, no matter how mellow the wine is, or how strong the wine is, it is just a boring drink.
Seeing that the scene in the private room was a little frozen, the small owner of the restaurant also began to display his ability as a businessman.
The little boss smiled and said, "Coach Jin, the two bosses, today's meal is not to your liking."
"It's okay for me to eat, but the meat is a bit thick today..." Then, Li Hongjun looked at Gao Xun beside him: "Old Gao, what do you think of today's food?"
"Hmm... not bad, the taste is similar to the original one, but the soup of this mutton noodle is not as thick as it used to be. The previous mutton noodle soup is still thick, but the mutton flavor is enough. I guess today's soup base is broth instead of thick bone." Soup? Also, there is more cabbage and less ginger.”
Gao Xun's inadvertent words caught the eye of the small owner of the restaurant, because he really didn't expect someone to be so familiar with their time-honored practices.
After so many years, the chefs of this small restaurant have left one batch after another, and the menu has been updated one by one, but the old signature mutton noodles have never disappeared.
After the little boss took over the restaurant, he always wanted to keep the slender mutton taste of the past.
But after all, the chefs have changed from batch to batch. Although the recipe is still the same as before, how to say, the person in charge of the spoon is different, and the taste is still somewhat lacking.
I saw the little owner of the restaurant said to Gao Xun excitedly: "It seems that this boss Gao is still our regular customer? Hey... Actually, we also want to keep the taste of our parents, just, The chef has changed one by one, we can't help it."
"Yes... so many years have passed, some people are old, and some things have passed. Sigh..."
For some reason, suddenly, the atmosphere became solidified again.
Gao Xun is also a "drunkard who doesn't care about drinking", while the young owner of the restaurant misses those from his father's generation.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the private room had once again sunk, Li Hongjun quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, don't talk about it, Lao Gao, the goat's milk will be cold later, and the smell will be strong, hurry up and drink it to warm your stomach first... Oh, by the way, Xiao Wang, unless we have another piece of stewed pork, cut it thinner, the one just now was too thick."
"Okay, I'll go and help you add food."
The small owner of the restaurant is a businessman after all, and after being smoothed out by Li Hongjun, he immediately recovered and left the private room knowingly.
Seeing Gao Xun dull for a while, Li Hongjun changed the subject again.
"Old Gao, I was only talking about the football team just now, and I forgot to ask you how you have been doing these years. How are you doing in Canton? What kind of business are you doing now?"
"It's about the same. Later, I settled down in a small seaside city in Guangfu. Now I work as a treasurer in a small company, and your sister-in-law also goes out to work. Although life is tight, it's passable."
"so……"
Seeing that Gao Xun didn't seem to care much, Li Hongjun felt a little embarrassed.
After all, after Li Hongjun retired, he went to Beijing to do a good job in business. In his opinion, Gao Xun probably went to the south to do business. He really didn't expect that the soul of football in Yanbian was now reduced to a small company. Financial personnel, this is somewhat heroic.
Jin Guangzhu on the side seemed to think of something, and he suddenly interrupted: "By the way, Lao Gao, when you left Yanbian, Xiao Yi was less than 2 years old, so he should be 16 now?"
"Ah yes, Xiaoyi is 16 years old, and he is in the first year of high school now."
As soon as Gao Yi was mentioned, Gao Xun's mood immediately recovered.
After all, parents are the same, and they will subconsciously regard their children as talking points with friends. When Jin Guangzhu mentioned his son, Gao Xun's eyes suddenly lit up. Obviously, he is quite satisfied with his son.
"Xiaoyi is currently studying in a key high school in the city, and his grades are not bad, but it's a little fun. Boys, they can't calm down to study all day long, and always want to go out to play."
"Oh???" Li Hongjun seemed a little curious: "Old Gao, I remember that you said that you wanted to train Xiaoyi to be your successor, who would support our Yanbian echelon in the future, why did you train Xiaoyi to be a high-achieving student now?" ?”
"Um……"
When Li Hongjun said this, Gao Xun didn't know what to say. After a long pause, Gao Xun continued: "Let's put it this way, Xiao Yi actually likes playing football. He was always outside when he was in junior high school. Play wildly. But later on, I think...it’s better to let him study hard, after all, you know this society, without a diploma, it’s hard to find a good job.”
"Oh, it's a pity, if Xiaoyi can inherit your mantle, then our Yanbian football midfielder can also have a midfield commander with unlimited potential."
"Haha..." Hearing Li Hongjun's jokes, Gao Xun couldn't help laughing, but he joked back: "What about you? You used to be a famous tough defender, why didn't you train your son?"
Hearing Gao Xun mentioning his son, Li Hongjun immediately shook his head like a wave drum: "Don't mention it, my kid really doesn't have football talent. I sent him to a professional team for training for a few years, but it turns out that kid just likes to play basketball. There was no other way, and in the end I gave up the old way of letting him take football."
After all, Li Hongjun pouted at Jin Guangzhu next to him: "Old Gao, Captain Jin's son is pretty good. Now he is playing brilliantly in our Yanji No. Scouts rushed to negotiate contracts."
When Li Hongjun said this, Jin Guangzhu also nodded helplessly: "Yes, the contracts offered by other club echelons are indeed good, but let me think about it, this kid was born and raised in Yanbian, and I don't know much about it. I am willing to send him away, but I still think that he can stay in the Yanbian echelon."
"Lao Jin, I think it's better to consider the feelings of the children. As adults, we should not always make decisions for the children. Maybe their own idea is to go out and have a look. After all, like we were basically It’s a bit of a pity to think about leaving Yanbian land after almost retiring.”
After finishing speaking, Gao Xun showed an intriguing wry smile at the corner of his mouth.
The meaning of this wry smile is very simple: I tried my best to persuade others to consider the children's ideas, but I cut off Gao Yi's playing football in one fell swoop.
Maybe, the world is so ridiculous.People, they talk about persuading others not to do this, but they do it themselves.
The reason for this, until now, no one in the world can tell the whole story.
"Yes, we should consider the children's feelings more. As adults, we can't be so arbitrary. We always help the children to decide everything. This will make the children grow up."
In fact, facing all kinds of "fat appointments", why is Jin Guangzhu not tempted?However, the shackles of that traditional concept still prevented Jin Guangzhu from making a decision.
As Gao Xun said just now, a group of people from Yanbian Aodong used to swear to the death for Yanbian football, and it was not until the twilight of their careers that they started to leave the land of Yanji and try outside.Due to the shackles of these old concepts, Jin Guangzhu is always hesitant.
After all, as a member of the Yanbian football team's coaching staff, he will be somewhat affected by the pressure of public opinion.
Looking at the hesitant Jin Guangzhu, Gao Xun couldn't help but add another sentence: "Guangzhu, why do you think so much? Since the child has potential and talent, he should be sent out early to receive better training. The club’s youth training system is really good, with foreign coaches, advanced training concepts, and complete hardware facilities, which will also give children a better platform to develop.”
Hearing Gao Xun's persuasion, Jin Guangzhu, who was originally comfortable with the old ideas, finally let go: "Old Gao, you are right, I will think about it."
Seeing how his old team leader let go, Li Hongjun couldn't help but smile heartily: "I mean Team Jin, we were talking about this before, and you look like an old antique, but now that Lao Gao said it, you immediately let go. Sure enough, Lao Gao had high prestige in the team before, hahahahaha."
Being "molested" by Li Hongjun, Jin Guangzhu blushed instantly.
"No way, I was thinking about it when you said it, but my little boy was only 15 years old at that time, and he was still relatively young. I was reluctant to let him go so far away. He will be 17 next year. I really have to Discuss with him about the choice of a professional team."
Instead, Jin Guangzhu continued to look at today's "protagonist" Gao Xun.
"Old Gao, don't you really plan to train your Xiaoyi? With your previous philosophy of playing football, it's not too difficult to train a Xiaoyi. Besides, playing football and studying are not delaying each other. .”
"Cough cough..."
After being persuaded by his old captain, Gao Xun really didn't know what to say, he could only cover up his embarrassment with a dry cough.
Seeing Gao Xun's silence, Li Hongjun immediately took over the words: "This gene can be passed on. According to your previous talent for playing football, I guess Xiaoyi should not be much worse, right?"
Indeed, as Li Hongjun said, things like genes can indeed be passed on, and Gao Yi also transformed Gao Xun's powerful football genes into his own very well, even though he played as a striker, not Gao Xun's back then. The midfield position, but this does not prevent Gao Yi from showing the Gao family's football talent.
"Well, it's okay..." Gao Xun thought about some clips of Gao Yi playing football that he had accidentally seen in the field before, and then added objectively: "Xiaoyi is playing a forward position on the field, and his speed Yes, I don’t think there is much problem with dribbling, but the overall situation and vision are a bit poor, and I guess I can’t play well as an organizational midfielder.”
"Speed forward???"
Jin Guangzhu's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "This is good! Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer domestic players who are good at dribbling. Maybe if you train Xiaoyi, you may be able to achieve better results."
The former top striker in Asia can be regarded as the sufferer of Jin Guangzhu and other defense players. Everyone knows that he is good and everyone knows that he must keep an eye on him. However, his explosive speed is too fast. Before he could react, he had already taken the ball and headed straight for the goalkeeper, and no one could stop him.
"Haha, how is this possible? Xiaoyi has such a good talent. I think he should study hard. It's more important to get into a decent university in the future."
After all, Gao Xun couldn't help continuing the topic just now: "That kid's personal ability is really good, his speed explodes, he really can't lose to the players from the professional team, and he also has spirituality in front of the door..."
"Tsk tsk..."
Li Hongjun looked at the satisfied look on Gao Xun's face, and he couldn't help interrupting Gao Xun's words: "Just now I was talking about letting Xiao Yi read good books, but now I'm boasting about Xiao Yi's football talent. Look, Lao Gao, you are still the same as before, with a sharp mouth and a tofu heart."
"Ha ha……"
Gao Xun was not ashamed of being exposed by his old brother. On the contrary, he joked with a hearty smile: "You, Li, like to tease me... Come on, let's talk about it after drinking this cup of goat's milk!"
"Okay, do it!!!"
"Dry!!!"
