Chapter 333: Stephen's Gift
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;(Regarding the typhoon in Hokkaido, someone said, Lao Yang, you are not a crow's mouth, there is either an earthquake or a typhoon on the Wa side, nothing unusual, right?, brother, it's winter, if it is a typhoon on the South Asian side, it is not unusual, but it is not common for the Wa country to appearγγγγγγ Please, please soothe my wounded crow's beak. If the number misses, I want to ask, who else?)
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Stephen is indeed not an ordinary enthusiasm, in the next few days, Stephen invited Xiao Peng to really play all over Baltimore------ overall, there is nothing fun here, a brief description of life these days is in different places, drinking with different beauties, that's all.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; What impressed Xiao Peng the most was a family banquet at Stephen's house.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; When it comes to large pears, many people think of pizza first, and then pasta. In fact, the big pear dish is also extremely rich, no less than the Gallic meal, and the big pear people also like to eat it very much, and you can see the big pear restaurant almost everywhere. Hey, the big pear people like to cook and entertain friends for dinner.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;But Stephen served Xiao Peng with the simplest red sauce pasta, which is also their most authentic local method, and the cooking method Xiao Peng is also breathtaking:
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;First, the tomatoes are boiled in water, peeled off the skin, and then stirred into a tomato sauce with a hand-cranked blender that stirs the meat filling. Then use a square pan the size of one square meter (one meter long and one meter wide, yes) to fry green beans and tomato sauce together, add a large pear straight powder that is no different from Chinese noodles, and a standard red sauce spaghetti is ready to eat.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; This big pear people do know how to play, make a durum wheat flour with eggs, and change the name to spaghetti, uh, in addition to the taste is a little harder, a little more eggs, and a little yellow color, and the noodles are not the same thing? So many people think that this spaghetti is brought back from China by Marco Polo.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Marco Polo has never been to China, and now there are different opinions, many people think that Marco Polo has never been to China at all, his travelogue is made up by hearsay, uh, Xiao Peng also thinks that Marco Polo has never been to China, not because of anything else, do you think, this thousands of miles to China, in addition to writing a travelogue, remember how to make noodles and pies (or the wrong way)?
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;How far do the people love spaghetti? It is inseparable from this thing, and the same spaghetti can make them into hundreds of different types: in addition to the identical straight pasta, there are also screw-shaped, bent-tube, shell-shaped, butterfly-shaped, hollow, etc., etc., and will also be made into colorful colors by adding pumpkin, spinach, grapes, etc. According to statistics, there are currently 56 kinds of spaghetti, so much so that the big pear people themselves can't tell what kind of spaghetti they are eating.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The most interesting thing to say is the Chinese people, after all, the reform and opening up time in China is relatively short, it can be said that the earliest understanding of the world is through Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, just like Fa Ge made a movie God of Gamblers, which appeared in the word '2 years of Lafite', and then what kind of old boy also said '2 years of Lafite', so this' In 12 years, ChΓ’teau Lafite produced a total of 240,000 bottles of Lafite, and today, China consumes at least 2.4 million bottles of '2-year-old Lafite' every year.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Another example is a word from Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, called 'macaroni', how tall does it sound? So in countless TV movies in China, there will be such a bridge: "Come, taste, the macaroni in this restaurant tastes good!", especially in those Mary Sue TV series in China, there are many such bridges, as if you can't live without that thing as long as you eat Western food.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;, only hollow spaghetti is called macaroni, okay?Watching the domineering presidents on TV eating spiral pear noodles, and then admiring and tasteful gestures and saying, "Honey, try this macaroni, it tastes really good"γγγγγγ I was embarrassed to see that cancer was committed.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;To borrow a line from Bruce Willis in the fifth element of the movie: Don't watch TV all day, you will become an idiot if you watch it for a long time.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Steve's family feast is really simple, with a large pear lasagna with tomato sauce spaghetti, but I have to say, in addition to the strange method, the taste is really good. Some people will say, isn't the lasagna also noodles?
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Hey, the lasagna is really not noodles, but a delicacy baked with meat sauce, cream sauce, noodles, cheese, etc., according to Chinese habits, it should be called 'mille-feuille'. The large pear lasagna baked in this house is much more delicious than the one in Pizza Hut, and it is a world of difference!
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng and Stephen are having a good time, but some people are going crazy.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Bob is one of those people who goes crazy, and anyone who answers a phone call in five minutes will go crazy. All calls are one thing: find Xiao Peng.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Ever since Pony & Hound magazine reported that Xiao Peng might withdraw from the final 'Bemont Stakes' of the Triple Crown, the Stars and Stripes Association has been in a panic. What's even more infuriating is that the Eagle Country has openly invited Xiao Peng to participate in the Eagle Country Yesen Race and the Oak Mare Race, Gallic also openly hopes to invite Xiao Peng to participate in the Gallic Jockey Club Grand Prix, Hong Kong Island has also expressed the hope that Xiao Peng will participate in their champion Chater Cup, and even the neighbor of the Stars and Stripes Country, the Maple Leaf Country, has come to join in the fun and wants to invite Xiao Peng to participate in their country's 'Queen Bottle' competition.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;No matter which race, the race day is almost the same day as the Bemont Stakes, which is a clear decision to dismantle the stage! Now the Stars and Stripes Association is feeling a headache, the reason is simple, if Xiao Peng really refuses to participate, it will be a great blow to the reputation of the Stars and Stripes Triple Crown. But if Xiao Peng participated in the last Bemont Stakes and let him win the championship, then the face of the Stars and Stripes Nation Horse Racing would be lost again. Is it reputation or face?
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;What's the best way? Well, leave Xiao Peng to compete, and then let him not win the championship! But the premise is also to keep Xiao Peng! But now that Xiao Peng is gone, he can only contact Bob, and Bob will answer them: Xiao Peng went out to play, and he doesn't know where he went. In the end, Bob got annoyed and directly told them Pan Peiyu's phone number, saying that it was the number of the operation manager of the racecourse. Let Pan Peiyu have a headache.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Now all the national horse associations are desperately looking for Xiao Peng, which puts more pressure on the Stars and Stripes National Horse Association. The only thing that made them feel relieved was that there was no record of Xiao Peng's departure. Indicates that he is still in the Stars and Stripes. They now want to know where Xiao Peng went to play.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; And Xiao Peng was now standing in front of Stephen with an excited face: "Stephen, are you sure you're not kidding me?
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Of course I'm not kidding you. Xiao, do you like these gifts?" Stephen asked Xiao Peng.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng smiled wryly: "God, I'm in love with them, Stephen, where did you get them? Stephen, tell me, how much does it cost? I'll give you money, okay?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Stephen laughed: "To me, these things are worthless, take them if you like." I know that for the Chinese people, this should be the best gift. β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng took a deep breath: "Okay, I have to admit that you're right." But I want to know, where did you get all this stuff?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Stephen smiled, "In the community where I lived as a child, there was a family of Japanese descent, their fathers, who had participated in a hundred camps and loved to collect these war items. Unfortunately, the eldest son of the family is an addict who can sell his soul to God for drugs, let alone his father's relics. β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng opened a flag: "Is this the battalion flag of the 100th battalion?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Stephen shook his head: "Xiao, I'm sorry to disappoint you, this is not the battalion flag of the 100th battalion, but the regimental flag of the 442nd regiment! β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng whistled: "Stephen, even if there is sulfuric acid in the world, I will go to cheer you for your first game, I promise you, I will let the 'Crow' win a few more championships during this time, so that you can have more face when you introduce before the game!
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Stephen laughed, "Wow, Xiao, this is the happiest thing I've heard in this time." Pudge, I still want to thank you. You really know Xiao. β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Peggy, is this your idea for Stephen?" Xiao Peng saw Pagio on the side.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Pagio nodded, "yes, Stephen can come up with a way to convince you by himself, and that will be the end of the world." β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng smiled: "Peggy, you are indeed powerful, you know the best way to deal with the Huaxia people." I have to say, I can't refuse this gift. β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Stephen smiled and said to one of his subordinates, "Rosie, go find a truck and send these things to Xiao Peng." β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng shrugged: "Stephen, don't bother so much, I'll just find a car to transport them myself." β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Stephen smiled, "It's okay, it's just a gesture." Shaw, then we'll see you in New York. After speaking, he hugged Xiao Peng and said goodbye.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The final Betmont Championship of the Triple Crown was at Belmont Park in New York. This is the highlight of the Triple Crown, and if you think about it, can the event in New York not be lively?
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;After saying goodbye to Stephen and Padgio, Xiao Peng got into Rossi's truck and returned to his residence together.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Lao Pan, come and help move things!" As soon as the car heard it, Xiao Peng shouted loudly.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Pan Peiyu saw Xiao Peng come back: "Brother Peng, you're finally back! My phone is about to burst! Where have you been?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Don't talk nonsense, help me move things first." Xiao Peng pointed to the box in the carriage and said.
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Pan Peiyu glanced over: "Brother Peng, what are you doing? Are you robbing the arsenal seventy years ago?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Yang Meng walked to the room with a large box: "I have said this a long time ago." β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng glanced at the two of them: "Don't talk nonsense, move these things back quickly, these are all treasures, I will classify them when I go back, and send them all back to China." β
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Hey, Brother Peng, there are a lot of guns in here, isn't it illegal for you to take them back?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng glared at him: "How stupid are you? These are not for us to keep for ourselves, but to donate them to the museum!"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Pan Peiyu shrugged after hearing this: "Okay, Brother Peng, then you can at least tell me what these rags are, right? What kind of museum is willing to ask for these old things? Are you sure these are all good things?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng sighed: "Brother, I really don't know how you learned history, haven't you all heard of the 442nd Regiment and the 100th Battalion?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Bob came out at this time and heard Xiao Peng's words: "442nd Regiment, 100 Battalions, Xiao, what are you talking about?"
&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Hey, Bob, the people of the Stars and Stripes don't know, isn't it a bit too much for you to ask us?" Pan Peiyu protested with wide eyes.
