Chapter 920: Eggplant

I tried it many times with three top chefs, one according to the description of "Dream of Red Mansions", one with Westerner taste tendencies, and one based on other literature, and the final three recipes tasted great. Madame, you try it first. In fact, 'eggplant' is a dried dish, which is suitable for breakfast porridge, but it should not be eaten too much. In the last two days, I have prepared all the special delicacies here in Guangxi, and you will definitely like it. ”

"Hmm...... It's good, I'm looking forward to noon, what's going to eat?"

"After breakfast, I showed the menu to my wife, there were dozens of dishes in total, and my wife could choose from them. However, there is a 'Bama Roast Pig' that is already being prepared, and Bama is a place name, which is a unique local fragrant pig. By the way, the Bama region is also famous in China for its longevity, where many people live to be over 100 years old. ”

"Really?"

"Yes, there are official statistics, there are 30 centenarians for every 100,000 people in the Bama area, and there are even more people in their eighties and nineties. ”

Yangshuo Dongling, on the terrace of the hilltop courtyard.

Janet was obviously very interested in the topic that Chen Qing had raised, and her eyes were shining as she looked at Simon.

Simon skillfully used chopsticks to pick up an eggplant made according to the record of "Dream of Red Mansions", and when Janet saw it, he said with a smile: "I think this is due to the regional longevity gene, and it has nothing to do with the environment." Nowadays, more and more studies have proved that life expectancy is also hereditary, and that if the elders live long enough, usually the children can live very long. However, if you're interested, we can check it out together. ”

Janet is a very smart woman, and when she heard Simon's explanation, she lost interest, but she couldn't help asking, "Then how long do you think the two of us can live?"

"At least for now, 90 is certainly fine, as your father and grandfather. Maybe in the future. ”

Raymond Johnston is 79 years old this year, an eighty-year-old man, who can still ride a horse and hunt, and does not look like a twilight old man at all, and Janet's grandfather Nicholas Johnston also lived to be 90 years old and died without illness, so Simon and Janet's genes are still quite impressive in terms of lifespan.

Janet was a little distressed: "But I don't want to be a 90-year-old lady in the future." ”

Simon smiled: "Then look forward to the results of our research on human life sciences, and start to spare no effort to invest now, maybe there will be a breakthrough in 30 years." ”

Janet blinked, feeling that the little bastard on the other side was doing it on purpose.

30 years later, according to the age of modern people and someone's status, someone who is not yet 60 years old can still be regarded as in the prime of life, and she can't wait that long.

Suddenly remembering something, Janet said to Simon: "Didn't you ask Jenny to build Solvay Academy in Malibu, and she is still looking for talented teenagers, and I want half of them to turn to this aspect, 20 years, at most." ”

Simon smiled and nodded: "Okay, but you should also be careful, don't always be so lazy." ”

Janet stopped doing it again: "I don't want to get tired of wrinkles." ”

Chen Qing listened quietly to the conversation between the couple while eating her own breakfast, and was keenly aware of the strange connection between Janet's sentence 'how long can we both live' and Simon's answer, but some family secrets were naturally not known to her. And when I heard the couple talk about the research of human life science, my ears couldn't help but prick up.

Eternal life.

This is an obsession of human beings for thousands of years.

With the insight of a modern person, Chen Qing naturally knew that the actions of those emperors in ancient times who sought elixirs were futile jokes, but with the development of modern science today, human beings have a deeper and deeper understanding of the nature of life, coupled with the almost inexhaustible wealth investment of the Westeros family, maybe some breakthroughs can really be made in the future.

Of course, immortality is still an illusion, after all, nothing in this world is eternal, but if you say that you will live for tens or hundreds of years, or retain your youthful appearance for a few more decades, it should be no problem.

The temptation to survive longer, few people can refuse.

Listening to the conversation between the two in this way, during the interval between the conversation between the husband and wife, Chen Qing said at the right time: "Madam, I have recently found a total of 176 teenagers with extraordinary intelligence between the ages of 6 and 12 in various parts of China, and the preliminary test showed that their IQs were all above 140. ”

Before Janet could react, Simon was a little surprised: "How did you find so many in such a short time?"

Solvay's plan was finalized in February, and it is now just over two months old. Even if Chen Qing has always attached great importance to his requirements, it is impossible to spend all his time on this matter.

Faced with Simon's doubts, Chen Qing explained: "Boss, there are many classes and schools specially set up for abnormal children in various parts of China, and it is easy to find. Moreover, China has 1.2 billion people, and with such a large base, 176 is not much at all. If the boss relaxes some requirements, with an IQ of 130 or more, it will be no problem to find thousands. ”

In fact, there has never been a shortage of naturally intelligent people in this world, and it is still the same sentence, because of the restrictions of life and education, most of them have been buried and ignored.

Simon didn't plan to lower his standards, thought about it, and said: "Then you can start arranging for these children to study abroad now, the specific details ......" Speaking of this, Simon looked at Janet and said with a smile: "Didn't you just ask for someone, you will be responsible for the placement of these children." ”

Janet's eyes immediately widened, instantly forgetting her desire for eternal youth, and decisively refused: "I don't have children, I don't even have my own children." ”

β€œ......”

It's also true and sincere.

Dear Mom.

Chen Qing took the initiative again very considerately: "Boss, I already have some ideas about this matter, why don't you let me arrange it." ”

Simon hesitated slightly, but nodded, and said, "You also heard just now that a school is being built in Los Angeles to house these gifted children, and this matter, well, that Jenny from Los Angeles is in charge, you can discuss with her to take the children over earlier, and you can get a better education earlier." ”

At the end of breakfast, the mist in the mountains also dissipates with the rising sun, and the perfect natural picture composed of strange peaks and beautiful waters is perfectly displayed in front of everyone.

Such a beautiful landscape, of course, must be matched by a beautiful woman.

So there is a beauty.

The 100 members of the National Style Art Troupe, carefully selected from among the 260,000 candidate girls, arrived before the Simons arrived.

Hundreds of square meters of wide cliffside terraces also become the best display stage.

This was Simon's first meeting with the girls.

And the first dance is the song "Picking Rose" that Simon took out early on based on the information in his memory.

Not only the girls performing, but Chen Qing also brought in a classical band composed entirely of young women to accompany them.

When the melodious guqin prelude sounded on the terrace at the top of the hill, the assistant cooks and maids and guards in the inner courtyard of the annex all gathered and stood or sat together around the Simon couple and looked out over the terrace.

As the sound of the piano turned lively and cheerful, eight young girls in aqua green classical dresses waiting on each side walked into the center of the terrace with a broken dance step.

The song rang out.

This is another group of dancers with no performing characters singing live next to a classical band.

*......

* In the past, I went back, and the willows were still there.

* Now I think about it, the rain and snow are glorious.

*......

Over and over again, it's simple.

Only these four sentences, one chant and three sighs, accompanied by the dancers or fluttering or delicate or bright or charming dance, this heaven and earth, with mountains and rivers, this beauty, truly constitutes a fairyland on earth that many people are difficult to experience in their lives.

Janet initially thought that Simon's formation of the so-called 'National Style Art Troupe' was just a whim and was about to mess around, but at this time, watching the girls' dancing and listening to this simple but intoxicating music, she was also immersed in it unconsciously, and beautiful things are always like wine, which will make people intoxicated. The other maids and guards of the Wei family who were fortunate enough to watch were even more amazed.

At the end of the song, the girls floated out of the terrace, and everyone applauded.

Simon, who was still wearing the Hanfu, applauded lightly while looking at Janet on the other side of the short table, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"

Janet gave him a blank look, but still affirmed: "This is art, the most beautiful oriental art." ”

"Their names are beautiful, too. ”

"I know, you made Chen make a lot of jade plates. However, don't think that I can't see that my Chinese is not as good as you, many of them are still very clichΓ©, like, Xiaoming, and some are very weird, not names at all, well, that, jagged, can you call a name?"

"All the names are not names at first, and the more people use them, they become names, just like Simon Westeros, at first everyone thinks the name is weird, but when the name appears in front of them a thousand times and ten thousand times, most people will get used to it, and some people will think that the name is very personal, and some people will even imitate it. You know, there are really a lot of people who have changed their last name to Westeros over the years. It's the same with unevenness......" Speaking of this, Simon turned his head to look at Chen Qing: "That's uneven?"

Chen Qing quickly called out a girl, who happened to be among the 16 people in "Cai Wei" just now.

Even if they have begun to immigrate, the girls have only really known in recent days because they are coming to Yangshuo that the boss behind them is Simon Westeros, at this time, the girl with a simple melon seed face in front of her is obviously restrained in front of Simon, this is the person who made a lot of noise on TV and newspapers two days ago, even if you don't talk about this, Simon Westeros, who can not know?

Originally, the girls were brought here suddenly, and there was a little difference, and they were worried that they would encounter something not so good. Seeing that Simon Westeros and his wife were both there, he probably eliminated another concern.

So there was restraint left.

was brought to Simon and Janet by Chen Qing, and she didn't know what to do at all.

The two big people in front of her, one cross-legged and one leaning on the left and one right, leaned in front of the low stone table in front of her, and she was 170CM tall, slim and elegant, and after approaching, she immediately had to look up at the two people in front of her to see her.

That's obviously not the right fit.

Fortunately, Chen Qing quickly helped her solve the problem, and another waitress quickly laid a soft long cushion in front of Simon and his wife's low table, and slightly signaled, the girl named Jiancha naturally knelt and sat up, kneeling and sitting is actually an ancient etiquette, but, here, if there is no difference in identity, it is actually far-fetched, but obviously no one at the scene thinks it is inappropriate, and some girls from the National Style Art Troupe are even a little envious of the one who can be called in front of Simon Westeros.

Another faint female fragrance came, Simon looked at the girl in front of him, and subconsciously blurted out a small stalk: "Where's your jade?"

When the girl heard this, she hurriedly raised her hand to her neck and shoulder, gently took off the jade pendant in front of her and sent it to Simon's hand, seeing the man in front of her rubbing it gently, remembering the position of the jade at the bottom just now, she couldn't help blushing slightly, and lowered her head slightly.

Janet also leaned over to take a look, holding Simon's big hand in her small hand and looking at it for a moment, and said, "It's so beautiful." ”

Simon said: "Didn't Chen give you a few, but if you like it, you can make some more." ”

Janet was interested: "Then what do you think I should be called, I also want to come up with a Chinese name?"

"Well, the better names in the Book of Poetry have been taken away by them, and you can only choose from other ancient books. Seeing Janet let go, she returned the jade to the girl in front of her and asked, "By the way, what about your surname?"

"My surname is Wei. ”

"Wei is staggered, it's very good," he said, glancing at Chen Qing beside him: "You did a good job." ”

After personally finalizing the final candidate, Simon handed over the name to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing's eyebrows curled: "Actually, the names given by the boss are very good, the key is to match the surname." It's like unevenness, if it's Wang Zangcha, or Li Zangcha, it will sound a little weird, but Wei Zangcha feels very good. ”

Simon hummed, turned his head to look at some other "Picking Rose" dancers standing not far away, he didn't ask the previous name of the girl in front of him, because he was not interested, after immigrating to the United States, the girls' various identification documents would be Simon's new name, but the other two in the "Picking Rose" group were a little different.

Because of the recognition.

This is also the only one among the 100 girls Simon who has finalized the person he knew in his previous life, for this matter, Simon did not mean it at first, but since he entered the final list, he casually drew in.

After thinking about it, Simon motioned to the girls and said to Chen Qing: "That's it here today, too many beautiful things will get drunk if you watch too many things at one time, so it's not good." Now, let them come over and drink tea together, it's a reward. ”

Chen Qing originally planned to introduce the second dance called "Chu Yun", but when the man said this, he nodded, beckoned the girls who danced "Cai Wei" to come over, and told the second dance team that was originally waiting to go back to rest.

Soon, all 16 girls gathered around Simon.

Interestingly, the two people Simon knew, because of his special attention, happened to notice that they both took the initiative to sit next to Simon on a deliberate way.

The waitresses brought tea, and Simon also held a cup and looked at it quietly.

Because of acquaintance, I deliberately remembered the information of the two women, they are both from China's famous Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and some of them were classmates from the Beijing Dance High School, both of whom started to learn dance before the age of ten. The new names of the two girls are also very beautiful, one is called Chen Xingwei, taken from "The Book of Songs, Daya, Xingwei", and the other is called Li Youhu, taken from "The Book of Songs, Weifeng, Youhu".

Before that, the official name was known to later generations.

The former's single name is a 'Shu' character, probably because this word is too obscure, and later changed its name to 'number', the famous Tie Pear Flower. The latter is also familiar, Li Xiaoran, Simon likes each other's "Big Husband" very much.

PS:

Yesterday, for the first time in so many years, two shifts were sealed, and I was speechless.

I originally wanted to challenge two days and two changes on the weekend, and it took me a few hours to rewrite the chapter, but there can only be one change today (and the chapter rewrite has not been passed, and it has to be rewritten).

Just wanted to say that you should find that there are no bullshit anti-theft sticker chapters in recent days.

In fact, I hate those words more than anyone else, and I've always been sorry for the readers who read this book, so I'm sorry to everyone.

I'm so sorry.

Because I've always been weak-hearted, I never dare to read book reviews, and what this chapter says, I'm ashamed of everyone, and I know that I will definitely be scolded.

After a few days of normal updates, I dared to flip through it.

The most unexpected thing was to find out that I actually have three alliance leaders, and this book can actually have alliance leaders.

Still want to say.

I'm sorry for the three alliance leaders.

There are also 500 helmsmen on the fan list.

In a word.

It's not a sudden realization.

I've always been very enlightened.

It's just that I suddenly felt emotional, and I felt that I should change it, and then I tried to change it.

First of all, I plan to finish the rest of the book.

Even if it is not updated on the same day, there will be no more anti-theft sticker chapters, I promise.

Actually, I don't know how much is left, but the reason for opening this book is that the previous one was sealed, and unfortunately, I decided to start all over again.

There are not many regrets now.

But if you want to write, there are many, many more to write, even if the main character in the book has reached the peak, but there is really a lot more to write.

In addition, I have started to prepare a new book, and I have been thinking a lot about it.

All in all.

First of all, I would like to seriously say sorry to all the readers who have followed me until now.

And then.

Well.

It's long-winded.

Anyway, let's get here today.

Everyone watch me update to see the after-effects.

Sincerely.
