The 2006 World Cup in Germany starts on June 9.

And now it's more than April, and there are less than two months left before the World Cup.

Originally, my parents were going to return to China first, and then come later. Zhou's father is a super fan, Serie A, French Ligue 1, Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga, as long as it is broadcast on TV, he will chase it. If you can find resources on the Internet, now Zhou's father is also used to computers, and he even learned how to find resources by himself. Of course, this is also now, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, life is completely stress-free, and you can meet your preferences casually. In the previous life, Dad Zhou didn't have the time or the kung fu to stay up late chasing the ball. At most, I take the time to watch a game or two outside of work. So now that the conditions in the family have changed dramatically, there is another benefit for Zhou's father, at least he can engage in his own hobbies casually.

It's like chasing a ball.

I didn't have that ability before, but now I have the ability, and of course it's more enjoyable to watch the game live. It's just a matter of visa, because I did a tourist visa at the beginning, so there are some problems with the time. However, this is not difficult for Zhou Fangyuan, he asked the MG headquarters to send two invitation letters, in the name of inviting visitors, updated the visa information, at least before watching the World Cup, there is no problem with the visa.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother can play with confidence, but Zhou Fangyuan can't.

The winery has been bought, and this year he is ready to take his family on a summer vacation. The adults in the family are easy to say, how can they find time, mainly a few children.

Xiaohui has no problem there, the little girl is in college this year, as we all know, college courses are actually not as busy as high school, especially if you don't study engineering, it may undoubtedly be much easier. Mathematics, which has been widely complained about by everyone, is the kind of course that can't be left behind for a minute, listening to one minute less, and if you don't keep it even, you will listen to two knowledge points less, and then the gap will get bigger and bigger, which is not impossible. However, as long as there are no math-related subjects in the curriculum, the academic difficulty will plummet. Besides, Xiaohui is not a scholarly talent at all, after she graduates, nine times out of ten she has to rely on her parents to help, like some girls, find a similar government job, preferably organized, although it doesn't make much money, but it is better to work easily and have a stable income.

In the future, if you find a similar man to marry, you will be able to marry for at least half a lifetime.

There is nothing wrong with this, some people like to struggle, some people like to brave the world, and some people like a comfortable and peaceful life, which is too normal.

So in fact, this is the case, when she was in high school, the second uncle and the second aunt were very strict, let her go to school and practice the piano well, Xiaohui also has the ability to play the guqin, and she plays it well. Then she took the college entrance examination to the art department, and directly entered an art college in Beijing, specializing in music history, and she could be a music teacher when she came out in the future.

It seems that there is no prospect, but with such a life, I don't know how many people envy it.

So for her college studies, the requirements of the second uncle and the second aunt are very simple, as long as they can get the graduation certificate, they don't care if the grades are good or not. Because of this, Xiaohui is very good to ask for leave.

As for the second uncle's second child, he is still too young and has not yet gone to elementary school, so there is no problem of asking for leave.

The third uncle's sister is Zhou Fangyuan's second sister, she is in the second grade of junior high school this year, she is the most troublesome here, she can't go up or down, if it's the first year of junior high school, she will ask for leave directly. If it's the third year of junior high school, I just don't think about anything. Only in the second year of junior high school, you say it's important, it's limited, but if you want to say it's not important, it's also self-deception, so the third sister of the third uncle's family is the most troublesome. Also troublesome is my aunt's younger sister, who is one year younger than the third sister, and is on the first day of the new year this year, but ...... The third child can't go, why should the fourth child go? If the fourth child goes, what will the third child do if he makes a fuss?

In the end, Zhou Fangyuan thought about it, and simply, the third and fourth sisters, as well as their parents, would not participate in the activities during the World Cup. Anyway, the third uncle and uncle don't like football very much.

Speaking of which, this is really, Zhou Fangyuan's father and their generation, Zhou's father and second uncle are proper fans, as long as it is about football, the two can talk for an afternoon without rest. The third uncle can't do it, the third uncle likes boxing, doesn't it broadcast boxing on the sports channel of Yang Ma every weekend? Uncle doesn't like football, boxing doesn't like either, it can be said that my uncle doesn't really like sports, but at the same time, he likes everything, so his favorite is actually the Olympics, all the above events, as long as you can watch it, he basically won't miss it.

In this way, the four old men were divided into three groups, so the ones who finally decided to come to Europe in advance were grandparents, second uncles and aunts, as well as Xiaohui and Xiaoyue (the second eldest of the second uncle's family, the fourth sister of Zhou Fangyuan, and the fifth eldest of the old Zhou family's generation). On Grandpa's side, Grandpa and Grandma are going to come together, but Uncle can't come, he's too busy to leave, and his second aunt can't come, too, he's too busy.

Neither of them directly joined the Yuanfang Group, just like Zhou Fangyuan planned at the beginning, he was not ready to let his family participate in the operation of the group. But they are all linked to the group. To put it simply, it is to rely on this big group to make some money, which is many times more convenient than ordinary people to make money, and it has also earned many times, in fact, to this day, Zhou Fangyuan's grandfather's family and grandfather's family, the lives of several families have been turned upside down, and of course everything is still thanks to the Yuanfang Group.

Uncle can't come, of course cousin can't come, he's two years younger than Xiaohui, he happens to be in the first year of high school this year, have fun, the first year of high school is already very important, can you leave casually?

There is only one man in Grandpa's family, and the focus of Grandpa's family is on his cousin, and he doesn't even have much time for daily rest.

As for Zhou Fangyuan, although he is also a man, he cannot be regarded as a man of his grandfather's family, because Zhou Fangyuan is already an outsider, according to the concept of the older generation, Zhou's mother is already a foreign surname, let alone Zhou Fangyuan. According to the customs of Beitong, if there is no cousin, the uncle has no children or only a daughter, and there is no successor to the grandfather's family, then Zhou Fangyuan is the male of the family, no problem and no problem. After all, the family is to be passed on, and there is no genealogy, if there is a genealogy, the two families will be directly merged.

But because my uncle has a child, and he is still a boy, he is the heir of the family, and he is the most important male in the family, don't look at Zhou Fangyuan for the whole family, but in the grandfather's mind, the most important thing is still the cousin.

Zhou Fangyuan didn't feel unhappy, and there was nothing to be jealous of, he had a good relationship with his cousin, in his previous life until he was reborn, his relationship with his cousin was also the type that could wear the same pair of pants, besides, the old man's idea was indeed a little outdated, in fact, there are still a few young Russians at this time who pay attention to these.

But there is no way, the old man is exquisite, because he is exquisite, so his cousin is in charge, and he has no free time at all, which is really pitiful.

The second aunt's words are a daughter, and she is in the second year of junior high school this year, which is also a very difficult time, and the second aunt's family really has no time.

So in the end, the plane went back, and when I came back, grandparents, grandparents, second uncles and aunts, and Xiaohui Xiaoyue, a total of eight people came to the winery.

Xiao Hui'er is going crazy, running all over the world, occupying the room she likes when she finds it, and strongly asks Zhou Fangyuan not to assign this room to others. Zhou Fangyuan is naturally indispensable, he took the four old men to choose their own rooms, not to mention anything else in the future, at least when the weather is good in summer, you can come over to play or something, and by the way, it is also good to go to other countries in Europe.

When people talk about Europe, they will subconsciously think of those countries? Britain, France and Germany, the five Nordic countries, at most add Italy and two teeth (Spain and Portugal), but in fact, there are too many large and small countries in Europe, if you really want to say, then it is endless, in short, if the old people are willing to be in the country, yes, if they are willing to go abroad, they can, the existence of the winery is just to provide more possibilities, not to say that the old people must come here, there is no such thing.

However, Zhou Fangyuan can't really stay here with the old people for two months, he has other things to do, for example, the United States has recently called him one after another to urge him, of course, it doesn't mean that he has to go in person, and the phone work is also okay. But there are always some jobs, if he doesn't show up in person, he will not be polite, or it will inevitably go wrong, so Zhou Fangyuan will leave after all.

Before leaving, he consulted Arnault and invited a real chef to a real family dinner in the winery.

It's a European-style routine, the old people don't feel anything, Xiao Huier's face is red with excitement, and she can't take pictures with her mobile phone.

The chef invited is from Italy, and his reputation is prominent in the circle, but outsiders don't know much, because he has never served the rich and noble, and the idle middle class can't afford it.

Nowadays, when many people talk about Western food, the first thing that comes to mind is French food, British food, American food, in fact, Italian food is also quite good. It's not just Italian food, Spain, Portugal...... Let's put it this way, in these European countries, there is an inertia, basically the closer to the south, the less economically developed the country is, but on the contrary, entertainment, culture, food, etc., the more prosperous.

Italian food, for example, is actually no less than French food.

Italian cuisine is one of the oldest cuisines in the world, and is known as the "mother of Western cuisine". Simple, elegant, and natural Italian cuisine is more than just pizza and pasta.

Florentine T-bone steak. This steak is very particular and must be made with a type of Italian beef called Chianina, and it is made with T-bones, which are the meat of the loin. It's important to note that a three-centimetre thick is an authentic Florentine steak! and it's rarely made for a single serving, usually starting with two servings. The default degree of doneness is medium rare, and if there is a special request, the degree of doneness will be baked according to the customer's requirements. Although it looks bloody, the meat is very tender when you bite into it, and with the salty seasoning, you can feel the symphony of steak in your mouth. It's really, really delicious!

Beef with tuna sauce. This delicious dish has been popular for centuries and is one of Italy's most famous dishes! Beef stewed with green onions, carrots, white wine and other ingredients is very rich, and the light beef is dipped in a thick tuna sauce, which is very delicious and appetizing.

Fried pumpkin blossoms are also a specialty of Italy, and they are usually filled with special Italian cheese and anchovy meat!

Seafood soup. Although the Italian seafood soup is different from the domestic ones, it uses all their common ingredients, which is a classic and delicious home-cooked dish. Tomatoes, onions, peppers, basil, white wine, and common seasonal seafood are stewed together, which is not only very beautiful, but also very delicious.

In general, Italian cuisine pays the most attention to the essence and nature of the ingredients, and the finished product strives to maintain the original flavor. During the cooking process, I like to use garlic, green onions, tomato sauce, and cheese to make sauce. The cooking methods are mostly stir-fried, fried, roasted, braised and stewed. The main ingredient is usually wrapped or marinated, pan-fried or grilled, and then cooked together with the ingredients, resulting in an exceptional taste of the dish and a multi-layered mouthfeel. Italian cuisine is very particular about the heat, with many dishes being cooked to six or seven years old, while others are tender and bloody.

Olive oil, black olives, cottage cheese, spices, tomatoes and Marsala are always indispensable in Italian cuisine. These six ingredients are the soul of Italian cuisine, and they also represent the abundant and fully utilized edible ingredients in Italy, so Italian cuisine can be called "authentic and traditional". The most commonly used vegetables are tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, seaweed, lettuce, potatoes, etc. Rice is widely used as a side dish, accompanied by meat, oysters, squid, field chicken, mushrooms, etc. Italians are very particular about the preparation and processing of meats, such as air-dried beef, air-dried ham, salami, bologna sausage, and sawurst, which are famous all over the world for their cold meat products that are perfect for appetizers and accompaniments.

In addition, Italians are good at making noodles and rice products, which are necessary for almost every meal, and there are various varieties and flavors. Famous ones are pasta, pizza, etc. Pasta in different shapes and colors is oblique to allow the sauce to enter the tube, while streaks of flour allow the sauce to stay on the surface of the noodles, and the color represents the different nutrients added to the noodles. The noodle flavor is dominated by three basic sauces: tomato-based sauce, whipped cream-based sauce, and olive oil-based sauce. These sauces can also be paired with seafood, beef, vegetables, or simply spices to transform into a variety of flavors.

This meal is not as ceremonial as French food, but the taste is quite good, and for a family who is used to eating Chinese food, it can be regarded as a chic enjoyment to come to such a meal occasionally.

After eating this family dinner, Zhou Fangyuan handed over the task of entertaining his family to his parents, of course, he also hired local international students as translators, and then he took a plane directly to the United States without incident.
