"You have to think clearly, if you get into the CIS, you can't go to the NCAA. CIS is paid, so Americans think that this is a professional game, and American universities will no longer accept you, don't you want to go to a regular university in the United States to get a degree?" Roman really knows a lot about ice hockey, not only introduced Hong Tao to the Canadian ice hockey league, but even the United States also piggybacked, and finally gave Hong Tao a proposal.

"Playing in the United States? You don't want me to enter the NHL, do you?" Hong Tao now understands Roman's purpose a little, he probably really thinks of himself as his son, oh no, not as his son, but as a stand-in for his son, which is like an old man who is always willing to take a photo of his lost child to look at, a way of remembering.

"It's hard to get into the NHL, but when you get to the college team, you have hope. It's fun to be a professional hockey player, and if you can win a championship, you're the hero of two cities, don't you like that feeling?" Roman was like a wolf grandmother at this time, holding a poisonous apple to tempt Hong Tao.

"Roman, if you were to force me to be my coach, you would be the first good person I met in Canada. But you may forget that I am a foreigner, and maybe one day I will return to China, and I still have my family, friends, and life. As for what NHL to enter, I didn't think about it at all, I just wanted to finish college and give my diploma to my father: dear, to make him happy. I may not have told you about my family, my father was a university teacher, and his lifelong wish was for his son to be a knowledgeable person. It's better to be a scholar. But for some reason I can't fulfill his wish in my country. That's why I had to come here to continue my education, and I didn't do it for myself. but for my father. As for city heroes and stuff, I'm not really interested, that's not my life. Hong Tao felt that he could no longer be at the mercy of Roman, this old man was a little crazy, he could imagine himself as a substitute for his son, but he could not arrange a life for himself, this was not negotiable, otherwise he would rather return to China.

“…… I did forget that you have your father...... You're a good boy. A good boy is the one who makes a father proud of himself. Actually, I also have a good son, he almost won the championship back then, whether he won the championship or not, I am proud of him. But because of my problem, he left me, I can no longer see him, I have dreamed of him almost every night all these years, I haven't had a good night's sleep, do you want to see my son?" Roman listened to Hong Tao's words. It's like a ball deflated, sitting there suddenly feeling a head shorter, speaking in a low voice, and that big voice is gone.

"He's so much more handsome than me. When was he photographed?" Roman pulled out a photo of a young man with pale yellow hair standing in front of a large house, holding a hockey hockey stick in his hand, smiling brightly. Looks quite like Roman. However, this is not the first time Hong Tao has seen this young man, according to the information that Latz found. has a recent photo of him, he should be Roman's only son named Alyosha.

"Nineteen years old. This year he made the varsity team at the University of Toronto, where I trained him. He, like you, was always unconvinced by my commands, pouting at me whenever I demanded more from him, and then I would shine my hockey stick on his helmet for a moment. You tell me honestly, did you scold me again in your heart when you were hit by me with a hockey stick?" Roman was now completely transformed into an old man sitting in the stands, holding a bag of fries, as if he was introducing his son to the audience next to him, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Hey, hey, hey...... You know this, you must have scolded your coach when you were a kid. Hong Tao felt that this old man was also quite pitiful, he lost his mother when he was young, lost his father when he was young, lost his wife in middle age, lost his son in old age, and he accounted for two of the four major sorrows in life.

Actually, his biggest wish is not to be a professional athlete, he likes to study plants. He always wanted to go around the world and see all the plants he hadn't seen before, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have been shot, do you think my son would blame me?" Roman's expression was a little dazed at this time, as if he had entered the appearance of Hong Tao when he first saw him in the arena of the Dome.

"No, you educated him very well, at least better than most of his parents, even better than my parents. I've been in jail for a traffic accident in China, but I've never complained that my father bought me a car, you think too much. Actually, you shouldn't live in the past, I think your health is not bad, you should marry another woman you like, maybe you can have another son, then you won't have the time to grieve. According to our Chinese saying, unfilial piety is the greatest, so you are not sorry for your son, you should be sorry for your father!"

"Hahahahaha...... Yuri, he said I could still have a son...... Hahahaha, he said I was sorry for my father, and persuaded me to marry another daughter-in-law, hahahahaha...... You have violated my three taboos at once! You are not allowed to mention my wife, father, or son to me, and even if the last one is the one I mentioned first, then I will punish you! But give you two choices, one is to cut off two fingers, and the other is to cook me a meal, which one do you choose?" Roman seemed to be really persuaded by Hong Tao to be happy, laughing to tears, but he did not thank Hong Tao, but took revenge.

Hong Tao has nothing to do with this old man with intermittent neuropathy, the old man is sometimes like a child, thinking that a play is a play, you don't have to say it, he will be unhappy if he can't say it. Hong Tao, who chopped off his fingers or something, must not be so afraid, this thing is probably a joke, but it is not a big deal to cook a meal for him, since he has asked for it in a roundabout way, then make it for him, anyway, he will only make Chinese food, and he likes to eat or not.

This was the first time Hong Tao went to Roman's house, and to his surprise, Roman actually lived diagonally opposite the house he had newly bought, and he became neighbors with him in the future, no wonder he knew that there was a house for sale here. His house looks old, half stone and half wood, with a fireplace in the living room, and the dark brown furniture and sofas that have a 19th-century feel. If you put a rocking chair in front of the fireplace and drink tea or smoke a cigar while the fire is burning, it is also a good mood.

It's a pity that Hong Tao didn't have this blessing, and he couldn't understand the condiments Roman Chef he said, let alone how to buy them, so Hong Tao had to go to Chinatown with Yuri again, and finally got together most of the ingredients needed for dinner. Roman's family is not very populous, except for him and Yuri, there are two cooks and a bearded middle-aged man named Konstantin, who Roman says is his personal doctor.

Dinner only needs to be made for four people, Hong Tao picked his own better steamed grouper, garlic scallops, shredded pork in Beijing sauce, mushroom and cabbage sum, then stuffed a pot of rice, and finally came to a tomato and egg soup. As for the head dish and the main dish, Hong Tao told them that Chinese food is not this, and if they want to eat Chinese food, then don't use the meal method, there are only two fish in total, who eats the tail of the fish and who eats the head of the fish? As for the question of whether to use chopsticks, it doesn't matter, in fact, Hong Tao himself also uses chopsticks, peanuts and beans and similar things, he definitely can't clip them, so he prefers to use spoons.

The main difference between Western and Chinese food is not the way it is cooked, but the way it is eaten. In the Western food system, everyone eats their own plates, and there is less communication at the dinner table, so it is rare to see a scene of chatting and drinking while eating. Chinese food is eaten together by everyone guarding several plates, and at the same time of serving the dishes, eye contact must be made, if you don't say a word, it is very embarrassing, so Chinese people prefer to chat at the dinner table.

Since it was Chinese food, Hong Tao didn't care if Roman was used to not talking when eating. In Hong Tao's view, eating is not simply eating food, but more of a culture of eating, so it must be authentic, love to get used to it, and if you want to eat, you have to be like this. A glass of vodka for one person, eating and drinking while talking, and if you don't eat a meal for two hours, it will be called not eating well. Anyway, Hong Tao explained to them like this: If you don't drink well, don't wipe out all the dishes, and don't talk thoroughly, that's the biggest dissatisfaction with the chef!

In fact, Hong Tao figured out this way to see what kind of temper Roman, Yuri and Constantine were, and he was more skilled in playing this set of Hong Tao, if he really let him go to the bar to drink and chat, he really couldn't play.

Tong guò is a very ordinary meal, Hong Tao has already come to a conclusion. Roman is a very hot-tempered old man, the city is very deep, but he shows more nature than disguise, and is generally the kind of person who is relatively easy to contact. This kind of person will not intrigue with you on some small issues, because they are proud in their bones and don't look down on this kind of petty deed.

Yuri's appearance is really deceiving, he is actually a very delicate guy, and he knows a lot of things. On the surface, he is Roman's bodyguard, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that he is Roman's assistant or secretary. This kind of person is not easy to deal with, because he always reveals a mask to you, and it takes a long time to get to know them. (To be continued......)
