Chapter Twenty-Four: An Alternative Hero Saves Beauty
Let Mai Xuewen into the house, Mai Xuewen put the things in his arms on the dining table, took off his down jacket and said: "Oh, these are the things I purchased everywhere yesterday, enough for the two of us to eat for Christmas!" Zhang Yuan opened all kinds of bags and looked at them, sure enough, there were all kinds of things, and even tofu was bought, and it seemed that there was no tofu sold in the supermarket in his memory!
"Where did you buy the tofu?" asked Zhang Yuan.
"Remember the Chinese restaurant we went to last time? I bought it from them, and it was their own tofu!" replied. There is a Chinese restaurant in Rimini, and the two of them went to try it last time, but unfortunately it didn't suit Zhang Yuan's appetite at all, so I never went to it again.
"Oh, I see, well, then let's do it ourselves today, and we will have enough food and clothing!"
"Yes, if you have any special skills, just show them!" Mai Xuewen said with a smile.
The two of them worked together, Zhang Yuan was not very good at cooking, so he went to the Internet to check the recipes, back to the pot meat, mapo tofu, he chose these two Sichuan dishes, Mai Xuewen was already busy in the kitchen, when it came to cooking, the main force was him.
In the morning, it took a long time for the two of them to come up with a meal, five dishes and one soup, except for the back pot meat and mapo tofu, which were made by Zhang Yuan, and the others were made by Mai Xuewen. The two of them put the dishes on the table, Mai Xuewen opened a bottle of red wine and asked Zhang Yuandao, "Come on?"
"Okay, come on!" Zhang Yuan stretched out his wine glass, he hadn't drunk anything except for a beer with his brother-in-law last time, but the Chinese saying is good that there is no wine and no banquet, today is a festival, it doesn't matter if you drink a little, although the house they live in has no festive atmosphere at all, there is no Christmas tree or turkey, and you can't even find a little Christmas-related things, but people are in a foreign land, and they follow the customs, and it is still okay for two people to drink some wine to celebrate the festival.
Mai Xuewen poured him half a glass of red wine, poured himself a full glass, raised his glass and touched it with Zhang Yuan, "Merry Christmas!"
"It's not Christmas yet, I'll talk about it tomorrow!"
"It's pretty much the same, it doesn't matter!"
"Alright then, Brother Mai, I wish you a Merry Christmas too!"
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" Mai Xuewen took a piece of back to the pot meat, "Well, it tastes good, like that!"
"Well, that's so numb!" he tasted a mouthful of mapo tofu and quickly rinsed his mouth with red wine.
Zhang Yuan also ate here, he tasted it, it felt good, although it was not as authentic as his mother, but the taste was not too far off, after coming to Italy, a bird was about to fade out of his mouth, and today he was very satisfied with the two dishes he made. He tasted the dishes made by Mai Xuewen, and said with a pout: "Brother Mai, the taste of your dish is too light!"
"Haha, you kid don't understand, eating less salt is good for your body, eating too much salt will increase the burden on your kidneys, and the kidneys are the places where your body detoxifies! If you can't get rid of the poison, you're finished!"
"How do you still understand this?" asked Zhang Yuan curiously.
"My family has practiced medicine for generations, like my brother is still a doctor!
"I see, then why didn't you go to study medicine?"
"I didn't think about it, I was so tired, my head hurt when I looked at so many and so thick medical books! I don't want to be a fool by backing books!"
"Then you chose to study foreign languages?"
"Yes, I'm a person, I was restless when I was young, and I always wanted to run around!"
How old are you? When you were young! Zhang Yuan smiled in his heart. "You chose Italian?"
"Yes, I chose Italian, which is a minor language, English and German were taught by myself when I was in college!"
"Brother Mai, I admire you a lot, you are really a cow, you are not afraid to master these languages anywhere!"
"Haha, you're nonsense, you're not afraid to go anywhere if you don't know a foreign language!"
"What I said is true, Brother Mai!" Zhang Yuan said sincerely, Mai Xuewen did not deeply understand Zhang Yuan's distress of not knowing foreign languages.
"Okay, thank you for the compliment!" Mai Xuewen picked up his wine glass and touched it with Zhang Yuan again, "But you are much better than me, you dare to come out and explore the rivers and lakes at the age of 16, and you are not familiar with life!"
"Haha, don't dare to be, Brother Mai, I'm just a footballer, and when I encounter an opportunity, I will come! At that time, I didn't feel that life was unfamiliar at all!" Zhang Yuan said with a smile, "Later, I was fortunate to have you, otherwise I really don't know how to spend it, you must know that being a dumb person is the most uncomfortable thing for me!"
The two of them talked and laughed like this, chatting while eating, and finally Zhang Yuan was already dizzy after drinking half a glass of wine, Mai Xuewen helped Zhang Yuan back to the room and shook his head, this amount of wine is too bad, yes, cleaning the kitchen must be his own.
I don't know how long I slept this night, Zhang Yuan woke up slowly, patted his head, and still felt a little dizzy, this amount of wine can be called a drop of wine, and it looks like this after drinking half a glass!
After sitting on the bed for a while, he picked up the alarm clock on the bedside table and saw that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner! He quickly got up, opened the door and walked to the living room, where Mai Xuewen was watching TV, and saw that Zhang Yuan had woken up, and said with a smile: "You woke up, you slept for three hours, and the amount of alcohol you drank was really too much to my expectations!"
Picking up the cup, Zhang Yuan took a cup and drank it down, "My God, I slept for three hours?! I basically don't drink, and besides, look at my age, did I look like an alcoholic before?"
"That's going to have to work out!"
"Forget it! As a professional player, it's better not to drink, I know a player named Best, who drank to death!"
"Hey, that's just an example, and besides, drinking less red wine is still good, it can soften blood vessels and prevent cardiovascular disease!"
"Damn, Brother Mai, you can be good for drinking, you cow!
"Okay, okay, okay, I won't say it. Anyway, it's okay if you drink less!" Mai Xuewen said helplessly, "Is this going for dinner?"
"I want to go out and about, it's so boring to stay at home all day!"
"It's not interesting outside, it's Christmas Eve tonight, everyone is at home, and the street is very deserted!"
"Ah, I thought it should be very lively, then go out for a walk, let's go, Brother Mai, let's take a walk!" Zhang Yuan still wanted to go out for a walk to see what was different about other people's Christmas.
Mai Xuewen had no choice but to put on a down jacket and go outside with Zhang Yuan, it was indeed very deserted outside, but it was not no one, it was not dinner time yet, and there were still many pedestrians coming and going on the road.
The two walked and chatted, and before they knew it, it was already dark, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, and two drunks who were drunk stumbled towards them, and the two people were too late to avoid, and when the two drunks were about to contact them, they became extremely agile, and they used a sharp object against them respectively, and what they didn't say must be knives!
Zhang Yuan was stunned, he had never encountered such a thing before, he was a little unconscious, and blurted out in Mandarin, "What are you doing?!"
"Shut up!" Holding the knife against him, the bandit handed the knife forward a little, Zhang Yuan felt that the knife had pierced the thick down jacket, and his body felt a tingling, and he was dragged into the alley next to him like Mai Xuewen.
Dragged into the alley, Mai Xuewen signaled Zhang Yuan to calm down with his eyes, it seemed that he had been robbed before, Mai Xuewen said in Italian: "Hey, friends, it's okay to ask for money, it's all in our wallets!"
"Haha, these two yellow-skinned monkeys are really interesting!" The two bandits laughed wildly, and the two of them searched Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen with their free hands respectively, and sure enough, they found their wallets, but neither of them came out with any money, Zhang Yuan had five hundred euros more, and Mai Xuewen only had three hundred euros plus some coins.
Zhang Yuan didn't dare to move, joking that these two people are tall, three big and five thick, he is not an opponent, and the other party has a knife, it is important to save his life!
When the two bandits had the money, they took out a rope and tied the two people together, stuffed two socks in their mouths, and pushed the two people to the ground, intending to leave. But just as they were about to leave, a girl's voice sounded at the mouth of the alley, "Stop!"
Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen turned their heads at the same time to look over, a girl was standing at the entrance of the alley, carrying a bag of things, like Christmas gifts or the like, wearing red winter clothes, light blue jeans, a pair of flat boots, long hair shawl, and a velvet hat on her head.
"Haha, little girl, don't be nosy!" said one of the robbers, who was about to turn away, flashing his dagger and smirking.
The other turned around and grabbed his companion and whispered, "Let's go, someone will come later!"
The two people quickly wanted to escape the scene, the girl in red saw that the two robbers wanted to run, immediately put down the plastic bag in her hand, and rushed up with an arrow step, the speed was actually very fast, and she reached the side of the two robbers, and under a few tricks, the two robbers were directly knocked to the ground by her, and they had no ability to resist at all!
Zhang Yuan and Mai Xuewen were dumbfounded, this girl is too powerful!
Subduing the two gangsters, the girl untied the rope on their bodies, ripped off the socks sealed on their mouths, and the two hurriedly expressed their gratitude!
The girl told them to call the police, and tied up the two robbers with ropes, and after a while, the police came, full of reluctance, but there was no way, they were unwilling to do it, and they took the group back to the police station to record a confession.
Out of the police station, Mai Xuewen took the lost 300 euros and said to the beautiful girl: "Beautiful young lady, thank you very much for your help! My name is Mai Xuewen, and this is Zhang Yuan!"
"Oh, hello, my name is Docilia Rossi! Are you Chinese?"
The two nodded in unison, and Miss Rossi looked at her with disdain and said, "The Chinese still don't know kung fu?
"Well, Miss Rosie, not every Chinese knows kung fu!" Mai Xuewen said embarrassedly. Rimini is also a tourist city, every year there are Chinese tourists here, business also some, can it be said that this young lady knows Chinese people can do kung fu?!
"Oh, I thought everyone in you Chinese would!" Miss Rosie thought.
"No, many of us Chinese don't know how to do kung fu." Thank you very much this time, can I treat you to a meal another day?" asked Mak Xuewen.
"Oh, don't take it to heart, so be it, I've got to go! My family is still waiting for me to get back!" Miss Rosie politely excused herself, and then left.
Mai Xuewen looked at Miss Rosie's back and didn't move for a long time, "Hey, what are you looking at, you can't move when you see a beautiful woman?" Zhang Yuan looked at Mai Xuewen and was stunned, where he didn't understand that this guy wanted to date that Miss Rosie.
"No, I didn't see anything!" Mai Xuewen was startled.
