Outside the window, it was getting dark, and Dong Xue knocked on the door and came in to greet the three of them for dinner. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them walked downstairs, and Bian Dad sat at the head of the table and waved to the three of them with a smile.

At the family banquet on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, ordinary subordinates are not qualified to sit even if their positions are high, but Shen Ya'an and Hong Chengfu are different from others.

Hong Chengfu and Pei Tong got the certificate, Pei Tong is Dong Xue's cousin, Dong Xue is the goddaughter of Bian's father and mother, so after turning around, Hong Chengfu and the Bian family are also related.

Shen Ya'an also touched his wife's light.

Bian Xuedao had a car accident in Sishan, and Ai Zhen passed by to help, saying that it was a "life-saving grace" and deserved it. has such a relationship, Bian's father and mother are very close to Shen Ya'an, and he is naturally counted when setting up tableware.

After a little excuse, Hong Shen and the others took their seats, nodded at their parents and said, "I'm bothered." ”

There is a way to "live and move the qi to nourish the body", rich for several years, has been born a graceful atmosphere of Bian Ma said with a kind smile: "Learn the Tao alone to work hard outside, thanks to everyone's assistance and help, a homely meal, don't be polite." ”

It is said to be a common meal, but it is actually very rich.

It's impossible not to be hearty, this is the first meal that the three of the Bian family sit together for the Lunar New Year, and the menu was laid out a week ago, and every ingredient is a thousand selections.

Because it is a family banquet, the aperitif and hors d'averitifs are removed, and the appetizer is directly served.

The appetizer served you chicory, bacon, corn salad and veal stew in white sauce.

Dong Xue especially likes to eat sweet corn kernels in the salad, and after eating the dishes on her plate, she took advantage of the side Xuedao next to her to turn her head and talk to Bian Dad without paying attention, stretched out a spoon and secretly scooped two spoonfuls of corn kernels in Bian Xuedao's plate and put them on her plate, and then poured the chicory that she didn't like into Bian Xuedao's plate.

Pei Tong, who was sitting opposite, saw it, and the mouthful of soup that had just been drunk in his mouth almost spurted out.

Sticking out her tongue at her cousin, Dong Xue picked up the chopsticks and ate the corn kernels on her plate one by one as if nothing happened.

After speaking, he looked down and saw the changes on his plate, and then looked at Pei Tong on the other side who couldn't help but smile, and asked Dong Xue with a smile: "Corn kernels are delicious?"

Dong Xue nodded heavily: "Sweet, good taste." ”

Scooped up a few grains with a spoon and tasted them, nodded while learning and said, "It's delicious! It's so sweet, it can't be genetically modified corn, right?"

Dong Xue was stunned when she heard this: "No!"

Hong Chengfu listened, took the spoon and said, "It shouldn't be." Last year, the French government put mon810 genetically modified corn developed by Monsanto, the only genetically modified crop recognized by the European Commission as being grown in the EU, on the list of banned planting, and suspended the cultivation of mon810 in France because of its "adverse effects on animals and plants". As early as 10 years ago, because mad cow disease caused panic among the French people, the French government issued a ban at the end of 1998 to end the cultivation of genetically modified corn in France. Across the European Union, France is the standard GM conservative, and they will also import small amounts of GM corn from Spain and Portugal, but most of it is used for research and experimentation, and basically does not flow to the table. ”

Although Bian Dad has lived in France for a while, he spends most of his time practicing calligraphy, drinking tea, and maintaining health in the winery, and learns a few words of daily French, but he does not have a deep understanding of French society, so he looked at Hong Chengfu and asked: "What if there are fish that slip through the net and flow to the table?"

Hong Chengfu shook his head and said, "The odds are very low. France is not like China, where food safety is not grasped if there is no accident and the media does not report it, and it attaches great importance to the supervision of food production and sales. The self-inspection of the enterprise is also extremely strict, and it is rarely a formality, because once the product has a problem and needs to be recalled, the loss is not only money, but also the reputation of the enterprise, and the reputation is damaged. ”

After Hong Chengfu finished speaking, Shen Ya'an continued: "Regarding the ban on the cultivation of Mon810 in France, it is rumored that Sarkozy reached a secret deal with a green environmental protection organization in order to keep France's nuclear power...... Nuclear power is the backbone of France's economy, and it must not be touched, and in order to appease the country's environmental forces, Sarkozy has had to sacrifice GMO. ”

When Pei Tong heard this rumor for the first time, he asked suspiciously: "This is too conspiracy theory, can it be true?"

Shen Ya'an said with a smile: "It's not an insider who knows, it's hard to say whether this matter is true or not, but one thing is certain, Sarkozy is following the public opinion, or he doesn't dare to offend this public opinion." And another point is that the French Green Party is very powerful, and if Sarkozy is determined to win re-election, he will never dare to give up the Green Party camp and the votes that the Green Party can radiate. ”

The main course came up.

Changing a napkin and picking up a knife and fork, Dong Xue said, "I think there is still a little more." ”

Bian Xuedao drank two sips of water, looked at Dong Xue with interest and asked, "Tell me." ”

Dong Xue Zhengse said: "In the two years at the winery, I found that the French have a very interesting thinking, they feel that each piece of land has its own mysterious characteristics, and what is produced on each piece of land cannot be replicated elsewhere. This thinking is particularly evident in the Bordeaux region, where each Château repeatedly emphasizes the characteristics of the soil and light of its vineyards in order to enhance the unique aromas and tastes of its products, which is known locally as produit-de-terroi, which translates to the work of terroir. ”

It can be said that it is this concept that has allowed French winery owners to make money selling wine for decades and centuries. Now that GMO is coming, artificially and precisely controlling the genetic sequence of the seed, and what is grown is highly similar on the inside except for the appearance, this is not a 'work', this is a 'product', in other words, GM destroys the concept of produit-de-terroi. In addition, it is impossible to verify whether the planting of genetically modified grapes will have a negative impact on the vineyard or the entire regional ecosystem, but if there is an impact, the vineyard that has been passed down for hundreds of years will be polluted, and the Château brand and the entire Bordeaux wine industry will suffer a devastating blow.

"Bang! bang!"

Hong Chengfu put down the knife and fork, clapped a few times, and then stretched out his thumb to Dong Xue, and said sincerely: "A leaf falls to know the autumn of the world, and it is insightful!"

Dong Xue said embarrassedly: "I just thought of it by accident and said it casually." ”

Shen Ya'an smiled and said, "If you say it casually, it will be even more remarkable." You're absolutely right about one thing -- the stakes are at stake. At first glance, all the policies of European governments appear to conform to the will of the people, and in their bones they are all in accordance with interests. Whether it is Gaullism or Sarkozyism, the essence of which is to benefit France, of course, if its policies do not have this characteristic, it is not a competent leader. ”

An hour and a half later, Shen Ya'an and Hong Chengfu said goodbye and left, Pei Tong also left with Hong Chengfu, and promised Dong Xue to come back within a week before leaving.

Seeing off Shen Hongpei and the others, Bian Dad's father said to Bian Xuedao in front of the lawn in the winery: "I heard about the photo a few days ago, Xuede and your fifth uncle called me a few times to apologize. ”

Bian Xuedao asked, "Why didn't you call me?"

Bian Dad said: "I'm afraid that you will be angry, so I dare not tell you." ”

Bian Xuedao smiled and asked, "Won't I be angry if you don't tell me?"

Bian Dad said: "Your fifth uncle's house is in complete chaos now, Wang Jiayu left the child and left, the company's accounts are in a mess, Xuede gets drunk outside every day and is sent home......"

"Dad, don't talk about it, let's have a good New Year's eve as a family, don't mention troubles. ”

"But it'......"

Bian Xuedao put his arm around Bian Dad's shoulder and said: "It's not a big deal, but sometimes a person's shortcomings can cover up all the advantages." Bian Xuede can't hold up the wall after all, when it's time to draw a clear line, Dad, don't embarrass me. ”

Sighing heavily, Bian Dad nodded and said, "I know." ”

After speaking, Bian Dad put on a mysterious expression and whispered, "By the way, let me tell you something." ”

"Hmm. ”

"On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, a strange thing happened. ”

"What's wrong?"

"That night, I had a very similar dream with your mother, we both dreamed that a very lush towering tree grew in the winery, Dong Xue first watered under the tree, and then climbed to the tree to pick fruits for me and your mother to eat, and the most amazing thing is that your mother and I ate pomegranates in our dreams...... Pomegranate means more children and more blessings in the folk, your mother and I have been excited for several days, this is to hold a grandson!"
