Peninsula Steel Love

Chapter 684 Gifts

Who do you want to help when your girlfriend fights with her future father-in-law?I'm helping your sister. The father and daughter are having a parent-child activity. Why don't you be stupid by joining in?

Neither Jessica nor Li Jingshu bothered to pay attention, so Zhou Jing immediately decided to go with plan 36. He got up and walked to the corner of the room when he came back with a gift bag in his hand.

"Xiuyanxi, this is a gift prepared for you. Please accept it."

"What?"

Jessica was stunned when she suddenly heard that she also received a gift. To be honest, her mood was very complicated. This was the first time that Zhou Jing gave her something after knowing her for so long.

But it also meant a sense of distance. Because the object of Zhou Jing's gift was Crystal's Ernie, he even used honorifics in his speech, which made Jessica feel quite uncomfortable.

Zhou Jing's actions also attracted the attention of others. The two men with splayed eyebrows stopped and stared at each other, and Li Jingshu also became curious and simply poked her head to see what was going on.

It's a pity that Jessica didn't seem to have any intention of opening it, so everyone was naturally disappointed. At this time, Zheng Yuanshuo remembered that Zhou Jing also gave him a gift, but he didn't dare to open it immediately because of his wife.

According to Western etiquette, opening a gift in front of the person giving the gift is a sign of respect, which is exactly the opposite of traditional Confucian culture. Zheng Yuanshuo and Li Jingshu live on the other side of the ocean all year round, and are relatively influenced by the West.

That's why Li Jingshu used that method to show off to Zhou Jing, but the atmosphere was completely different from before. So what are you waiting for? Zheng Yuanshuo quickly picked up his bag and opened it on the spot.

In fact, Jing Jing didn’t know what the gift Zhou Jing had prepared was. Zhou Jing had asked her if she had any suggestions. Who would have expected that this little stupid Jing actually said casually, OK, what about the two of you’s usual preferences?The answer I got was just three words, I don’t know.
Well, if that's the case, don't blame Zhou Jing. Crystal finally thought of it last night, but Zhou Jing also sent her two words to keep it secret. She was so angry that Crystal asked for it one more time before she gave up.

That's why Jingshuang was particularly interested in what Zhou Jing finally chose. Seeing Zheng Yuanshuo slowly unpacking the package, she almost wanted to roll up her sleeves and do it for herself.

A pure black wooden gift box with a very conspicuous logo in the middle. Zheng Yuanshuo took a closer look and immediately burst into laughter because the brand name on it was marked in both Chinese and English.

"Hero&HERO"

No matter what is inside, Zheng Yuanshuo likes the name Chong very much. He has been a boxer and naturally has a heroic dream in his bones. This is one of the reasons why he supports Crystal very much even though he has never met Zhou Jing.

When you open the gift box, there is a pen lying quietly inside. The pen body is made of ebony wood and carved into a bark texture. The 12K gold nib is used to show low-key luxury. There is also a replacement ball pen refill next to it, which can be used for two purposes. In addition, The gift box comes with a genuine leather pencil case for users to carry around.

This gift was so great. Zheng Yuanshuo played with the pen in his hand and his eyes dazzled. After a long while, he put the pen back into the gift box and then smiled at Zhou Jing:

"Xiao Jing, I like this gift very much, thank you."

"Uncle, you're welcome. Xiujing said you are a lawyer. I think you should be able to use this money, haha."

"Forget about uncle and uncle. I'm younger than your father, so just call me uncle."

"what?"

"Ah what, that's it."

"Hi, Uncle Zheng."

"Ha ha."

Zheng Yuanshuo laughed heartily and immediately earned a look from Li Jingshu, but Comrade Old Zheng didn't care. Who made him feel so happy at the moment? As for whether he would be punished when he got home, we had to wait until he finished having fun.

At this time, the waiter opened the door and started to serve the food. Crystal took the opportunity to secretly give Zhou Jing a thumbs up. The meaning was simple, stinky Oppa, well done.

Zhou Jing, on the other hand, smiled slightly and casually introduced the story behind the Hero Pen brand to everyone. He was a guy who could spend the whole night chatting with uncles and aunties on the train when he had nothing to do. Nowadays, telling such stories is just easy, listen. Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Of course, I won’t go into details here. I believe that all Chinese people know more or less about this brand.

“Beginning in troubled times, thriving with leaps and bounds, flourishing with openness, and losing capital”, these sixteen words perfectly explain the decades of ups and downs of Hero Pen, a classic domestic brand.

In any case, the hero pen has carried too many beautiful memories of the Chinese people, and it has also witnessed countless important moments that changed China's history. Just next month, the hero pen will once again become the exclusive signature of leaders of various countries at the APEC meeting after 13 years. Pen.

Good guy, this is what Ao Guanhai and Park Datong are about to use. Zheng Yuanshuo becomes even more precious when he hears it. He doesn’t even give it to Li Jingshu who wants to take the opportunity to take a look. According to Zhou Jing, he estimates that his father-in-law’s fate tonight may not be good. It will be quite tragic.

Crystal was fine, but Jessica was fascinated by it. From then on, whenever Zhou Jing used his slightly deep voice to talk about something, Jessica's eyes would light up. An expression of admiration appeared on his face unconsciously.Fortunately, Zheng Yuanshuo and Li Jingshu also listened attentively, otherwise she would be suspicious no matter how she looked. In the end, Crystal couldn't stand the nymphomaniac look of her Ouni, so she quietly reminded her with her eyes that her father and mother were still there, so don't leave. That's too much.

"Ahem." Jessica suddenly woke up and hurriedly faked a cough to cover it up. At the same time, she became more interested in what gift Zhou Jing gave her.

So Jessica took out the contents of the gift bag in front of her. However, she was stunned the next second. This was a gift box with strong Chinese style characteristics. It seemed that it should be cosmetics or something. Jessica I didn't see the reason for a long time.

"European cake, Ernie, that gift box of yours is so beautiful." Crystal exclaimed on the spot when she saw this, and then stood up and ran to Jessica's side to study together.

The brand's logo is a hand-drawn picture of an ancient lady. Crystal's Chinese is better than Jessica's, so she can understand the brand name.

"Dai Chunlin? Oppa, what's in this?" Crystal raised his head and looked at Zhou Jing doubtfully.

"That's right, this is Dai Chunlin's duck egg powder and loose powder set that doesn't require makeup removal." Seeing that Li Jingshu had the same question, Zhou Jing explained with a smile, but his next sentence shocked everyone to the point of saying,

"This brand can be called the ancestor of Chinese domestic products. It was founded during the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty and has been a tribute to the palace. It was mentioned in the famous book "A Dream of Red Mansions". How about it? It's awesome."

"Moragu? Chongzhen?" Li Jingshu and Zheng Yuanshuo looked at each other, and both found that the other party showed a look of horror.

Jessica and Crystal were young and didn't understand, but Li Jingshu and the others were different. Ancient Korea had always regarded the Ming Dynasty as the orthodoxy. Even during the Qing Dynasty, the official year was marked by the Qing era name, but the Ming Chongzhen era name was still used in private sacrifices among the people.

This habit didn't end until the beginning of the last century, even during the Japanese occupation. That's why strange things like this year, which marked the 300th anniversary of Chongzhen, happened, and Li Jingshu and Zheng Yuanshuo happened to know about it.

"So, the brand Dai Chunlin must not exist." Li Jingshu began to count the years on her fingers.

"It's almost 400 years ago, haha." Zhou Jing replied with a faint smile, "Oh, I forgot to mention, Xiujing, the duck egg powder in your hand is the world's first beauty powder."

"Mo?" Crystal's hand trembled and she almost dropped the compact she was holding on the ground, which made Jessica jump in anger when she saw it.

400 years?The world's first pressed powder?Crystal's little head was still confused, but suddenly her hands went cold, and Jessica had already snatched the compact back with lightning speed.

So Crystal, who returned to his seat, did nothing but stared at Zhou Jing with unhappy eyes. The implication was, stinky Oppa, I want it too, huh.
I'll go. As for that, Zhou Jing couldn't help but laugh. He immediately leaned into Jing Jing's ear and whispered, "Your way is better than hers."

That's not bad, Crystal immediately burst out with a bright smile, but Zhou Jing felt sad when he saw his father's excited expression.

Regardless of the hero pen or Dai Chunlin powder box, in fact, their prices are far less expensive than those so-called imported luxury goods. Zhou Jing is not only proud of these domestic brands with a strong sense of history, but also extremely worried about their current situation and future.

Once upon a time, they had disappeared from the eyes of the Chinese people for a long time. Perhaps in a few decades they will become unknown. This is such a sad thing. Zhou Jing was very sad about this.

But he never expected that many years later, just because a popular anchor said a wrong sentence, a round of commercial war on domestic products would be triggered, which would make many old domestic brands once again popular among the Chinese people. The source was actually a certain person who liked to pick up boxes everywhere. Brands go to other people’s comments to find fans, haha.
This is all for later. Based on the lessons learned by Zheng Yuanshuo and Jessica, everyone is quite curious about Li Jingshu’s gift. The brand has been established for 400 years. Is it possible that Zhou Jing can still come up with something that is thousands of years old?
Haha, Zhou Jing could read the expressions of everyone present but took a sip of tea and remained silent. Li Jingshu did not disappoint everyone, and then took out the stuff in her bag.

A wooden gift box imitating huanghuali, but before opening the crystal, she covered her mouth with her hands and showed a surprised expression. Although she didn't know what it was, she knew that it was Zhou Jing who asked Sister Xin to help find it. She went to Lanting before. Xuan heard Sister Xin mention it.

Opening the wooden box, there was a golden pendant as big as a pebble, with a texture as warm and moist as gelatin. Although Li Jingshu liked it very much, she still couldn't help but look at Zhou Jing, hoping that he could introduce it well.

"Auntie, this is a type of amber, we call it beeswax." Zhou Jing took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Well, it took tens of millions of years to form this, so it must be a good thing for the future mother-in-law. However, Crystal and Jessica laughed out loud at the same time, leaving Zhou Jing confused for a while.

"Oppa, you said this is amber?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Smelly Oppa, you don't know what Amber means in English."

"Uh, what is it?"

"It's Amber, haha."
