Xiao Peng smiled and said he didn't mind, Gran Grasso has been limited to 800 bottles worldwide for forty years, and now the price of a bottle has reached more than 1,000 pounds a bottle, who will give this thing to himself?

This is the first time I went to Youmei's house, Xiao Peng specially inquired about everyone's preferences, this is called targeted, and everyone's gifts are targeted!

Xiao Peng took out a plastic bag from the bag and handed it to Youmei's grandmother: "Grandma, it's cold now, I don't know if you are satisfied with this cashmere shawl?" Actually, I want to bring you kangaroo country alpaca products, after all, the quality is higher, but I have found many places and haven't bought it, I hope you don't mind." ”

You Mei's grandmother took it with both hands and smiled at Xiao Peng: "Of course I don't mind, I like this gift very much." After speaking, he directly unpacked the outer package and put it on his shoulder: "Thank you, it's very comfortable and beautiful." I really like this gift. ”

"Wow, do you have a gift too?" Grandpa Youmei came over from the kitchen with a few bottles of beer, and just in time to see Grandma Youmei trying on the cashmere shawl, he handed Xiao Peng a bottle of beer.

Xiao Peng took the beer: "Grandpa, I also have your gift here." Xiao Peng took out a small bag that looked very light. "Grandpa, I know you like to smoke a lot, in fact, I gave you a pipe, and you know that the pipes in the Eagle Country are the best in the world. But Yumi strongly objected, she didn't like you to smoke, so she had to give you this. ”

"What is this?" Grandpa Youmei tore open the outer package, and saw that it was a Paris Saint-Germain jersey, the number was 12, and Grandpa Youmei's eyes lit up: "Thomas Meunier?

Xiao Peng smiled a little proudly, Youmei's family are all fans, including his GAY brother, which is beyond Xiao Peng's imagination. It's hard to imagine how Mignolet could love football, and she should have liked players more!

When he was in Paris, Xiao Peng was given signed jerseys to all the players, and directly gave him Thomas Meunier's jersey, although he can't play the main team now, but after all, he is the only Belgian player in Paris, so he still has a lot of fans in Belgium.

In the town of Balheltoch, the biggest hobby of the people here is football. Most people are Dutch fans, after all, there are more Dutch people here, but the Dutch team did not make it to the World Cup this year.

Other Dutchmen will be miserable, but the Dutch who live here are fine------ can we support our neighbor Belgium, Belgium is in the World Cup!

Looking at the happy appearance of the old man, Xiao Peng was secretly proud in his heart, he knew that Lukaku's signed jersey was ordered on the hour when he was in the Eagle Country, so the old man wouldn't be so excited that he had a heart attack when he saw it, right?

In the end, Xiao Peng looked at Youmei's mother with a smile, this is a woman who may become her mother-in-law in the future, and coaxing her mother-in-law is the most difficult level for all hairy sons-in-law.

Yumei's mother saw Xiao Peng looking at herself: "Wow, it looks like I have a gift too." I don't know why you put me last, but I'll be honest, I've never looked forward to my gifts so much as I do now, Xiao, you remind me of how I felt when I opened Christmas presents as a child. ”

Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Auntie, in fact, the reason why I put you last is because I am a little embarrassed, the gifts for others are all brought by me from other countries, only the gifts for you are bought by me in Belgium." ”

"Oh, what is it?" asked Yumi's mother, curiously.

Xiao Peng took out the last thing from the bag: "Auntie, I know you like to read, so I'll give you a book, I don't know if you like it." ”

Yumi's mother took the book, a thick one, and the book cover was dark green hard plastic. The paper was yellowed, and it looked like an old book.

Yumi's mother frowned slightly, she didn't understand why the gift to others was so precious, and it was her turn to be an old book?

She looked at the book cover: "The Great Gatsby? I have this book, and I've read it several times." ”

"The Great Gatsby" can be said to be one of the most classic in the Western world, and it has been put on the screen and stage many times, and as Yumei's mother, who loves to read, it is not surprising that she has read this book several times.

She also meant a little dissatisfied when she said this, why are the gifts she gives to others so intimate, and she is so bad for herself?

Still, she politely opened it and flipped through it, and the first page was a blank page with the words: 'New York, Charles Scribner Press, 1925'. She froze in place: "1925?"

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Auntie, I don't know if the first edition, the first printing, and the first sample of "The Great Gatsby" satisfy you?"

He didn't need to get an answer from Yumi's mother, who answered him with action------

Her face is already blooming!

As a Chinese, Xiao Peng knows the way to give gifts, uh, it doesn't seem honorable.

However, thanks to this gift-giving culture, the popularity of Xiao Peng and others in Youmei's family exploded instantly.

Carrasco stood beside Xiao Peng with a beer and looked envious: "Xiao, I envy you to death, I have been married to Mignolet for two years, and I have never been as popular as you." ”

Xiao Peng smiled noncommittally after hearing this, he couldn't tell Carrasco that this was the power of money, right?

Although cheesy, it 。。。。。。 It's really easy to use!

You Mei's father's cooking skills are really good, and a table full of meals entertains Xiao Peng and others, and Xiao Peng can be regarded as having a serious meal.

Xiao Peng's favorite is the Flemish beer beef stew.

To put it bluntly, it is a perfect combination of several Belgian characteristics: beef has to be simmered for more than an hour and a half with the famous Belgian dark beer before you can go abroad, fry a basket of fries before coming out of the pot, and put the beef and fries on the plate at the same time while it is hot, with delicious mayonnaise, well, so delicious that you have no friends!

The most important thing is that this dish is very suitable for the taste of Chinese people, and it feels like eating braised beef.

What Xiao Peng can't stand the most in Europe is the greasy and creamy taste! And this Flemish beer stew makes Xiao Peng not feel any discomfort at all!

However, the way the Belgians handled the vegetables surprised Xiao Peng.

As we all know, Westerners eat vegetables, generally raw, salad side dishes and the like. But that's not all, for example, the chicory that Belgians love to eat, you have to cook it.

Chicory is also available in China, and it looks quite like baby cabbage, but it is smoother than baby cabbage. In China, it is generally used as a traditional Chinese medicine dish or landscaping, but in Europe, it is a vegetable.

Yumeijia's method is to wrap a whole chicory in a large slice of ham, then sprinkle with cheese, and put it in the oven until the cheese turns golden brown, and the result is very simple!

It smells very good, after all, through the oven, the aroma of this cheese and the aroma of ham are in the nose, but it is 。。。。。。 in the mouth It's bitter!

This is why chicory is used as a green plant in China, the taste is really not good, and ham and cheese can't hide its bitter taste, but like bitter herbs and bitter chrysanthemum, this bitter vegetable is good for the kidneys. It's really good to eat once in a while. At least you can eat cooked vegetables, right?

Speaking of vegetables, you can't fail to mention the Flemish white aloe vera made by Yumeta's father.

Xiao Peng had only seen green aloe vera, which was considered a Belgian specialty.

This method of growing white aloe vera is very special, and the field is ridged before winter comes, and the white aloe vera is planted in the shape of a hollow hill. Aloe vera is not exposed to sunlight throughout the growing process, and even after the aloe vera matures, it has to be done at night, so the production of this white aloe vera is very small, and only April to June of the year is the best time to consume white aloe vera.

The white aloe vera used to entertain Xiao Peng is vacuum-packed, and the price is very expensive. As for the method, it is really simple, that is, it is boiled and put in melted butter, and then the boiled egg is crushed into minced and sprinkled on top, and it is ready to eat.

As for the taste。。。。。。 Alas, don't mention it.

There is also flounder, this thing is produced in large quantities along the coast of Belgium, so Belgians also love to eat it, the method is extremely simple, the fish meat is sliced from the fish body into a fish steak, patted with flour and fried, then poured with butter, sprinkled with salt and pepper and lemon juice, Xiao Peng really thinks, it is better not to put any lemon juice butter, just sprinkle salt and eat better.

The most surprising thing for Xiao Peng on the dinner table was a dish called 'Madeira Sauce Beef Tongue'------ doesn't it mean that foreigners don't eat organ offal?

Madeira is a type of wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira, which is used in Europe by adding salt and spices to cooking, and Madeira sauce is based on this wine and made with onion, lemon, ketchup, and flour. With mushroom potatoes, it tastes really good.

Generally speaking, this European and American people are actually very good at making meat, but the level of cooking vegetables can only make people ashamed.

This is related to the living habits of the two places, the staple food of Europeans and Americans is meat, while the staple food of Chinese people is starch, noodles, rice, steamed buns and the like. The amount of vegetables eaten by Chinese people is far greater than that of Europeans and Americans.

Just like Xiao Peng's hot pot that conquered all his friends, many European and American friends were surprised when they had never eaten it-------Why should the meat be cut and eaten? Isn't it better to eat it in a big gulp? They are used to all kinds of meat dishes.

In foreign countries, the biggest complaint about Chinese food is that Chinese food is unhealthy, with too much salt, too many condiments, etc., but to be honest, Xiao Peng really doesn't understand whether Chinese food is unhealthy or their way of eating is unhealthy!

It was a wonderful dinner------- if it weren't for all the quirky questions.

Like the vast majority of Westerners who don't know about Huaxia, Youmei's family is also a variety of curious babies, and many of the questions asked also made Xiao Peng cry and laugh.

If it weren't for You Mei's family, Xiao Peng would have wanted to lift the table and leave at the beginning.

Especially Yumi's grandfather, the standard European old man ------ stubborn.

When discussing the Huaxia issue with him, he was in a good mood just now, as long as the answer Xiao Peng said was not what he understood, he desperately refuted it. Xiao Peng couldn't wait to slap him in the face with a big mouth, which couldn't communicate at all.

Xiao Peng told him that China's economy is developed, and he didn't say that it was bought at the expense of the interests of many people.

Xiao Peng told him that our party is wisely governed, but he did not say that it was a degenerate party that corrupted each other;

Xiao Peng told him about the great rivers and mountains of China, and he said why don't you let Xizang Taiwan Island go independent! Why don't you go independent after decades of independence in the Dutch-speaking area?

This made Xiao Peng very helpless, right? You Mei's grandfather! Don't beat him, right? To be honest, his hands are itchy. Xiao Peng obviously said the truth, but in the eyes of the old man, Xiao Peng was brainwashed!

The only thing that can change a person's opinion is to let him see it with his own eyes, otherwise it is useless to say anything.

Bringing the table atmosphere together were Alexandra Jima Ward and Yumei, all three of whom had been to Huaxia (last year's Victoria's Secret show, although Yumei Lampo did not walk the catwalk, but it was indeed in Huaxia), and they knew that what Xiao Peng said was true.

In fact, the old man didn't believe them at first. It wasn't until Alexandra explained that she was a member of the Agutte family and the title of princess that the old man's attitude took a 180-degree turn.

It is said that the Chinese are feudal, and the Europeans are even more feudal, okay? Until now, seeing the so-called nobles is like meeting the ancestors. Of course, this is also understandable, after all, the land they live in now is still in the fiefdom of other nobles, isn't it?

In this way, the old man also criticized Xiao Peng, saying that he 'has a very heavy national self-esteem', because when he mentioned that China was not good, Xiao Peng kept refuting, saying that Xiao Peng was 'too sensitive'!

When he said this, even Yali and Jimma and Yumi nodded desperately, Xiao Peng's problem was all known.

"Well, you say I'm sensitive. Xiao Peng took a sip of beer and moistened his throat: "I don't think it's because I'm sensitive, most Huaxia people are like me, and they will do their best to correct your wrong views." And I summarize this as a dissatisfaction with the bias caused by the media, and the Western media's long-standing coverage of China has almost always been unfair, as you can see from what you know about China. Ordinary people learn about China through the media, but all they get is a wrong understanding. When you can understand the real Huaxia, instead of wearing colored glasses full of prejudice, then all Huaxia people will not be so sensitive. ”

When Xiao Peng said this, everyone couldn't refute it.

He was right, they knew about Huaxia through their media.

But almost all of the knowledge of Huaxia is wrong.

What does this mean? The media is talking nonsense!
