【Chapter 1097】 Thanksgiving (Ask for Subscription!)

Fast forward to late November, and the NBA regular season has officially started for nearly a month, with most teams having more than 12 games, and many teams having played 15 games.

The Lakers got off to a good start in the regular season, with a 13-game winning streak that can't be compared with last season's 36-game winning streak, but after losing Kobe, the Lakers still maintain the league's No. 1 record, which is commendable!

In the away game against the Thunder, the Thunder dual-core Wei Shao and Durant broke out collectively, and their hands were so hot that they broke the Lakers' undefeated golden body, and also let the media and basketball world see the dawn.

In the past two seasons, the Lakers have been like an insurmountable mountain weighing on the heads of all NBA teams, and the huge shadow has almost overwhelmed everyone.

The Lakers lost only 10 games in two regular season plus the playoffs, which is unique in the extremely competitive NBA, which goes some way to illustrating the strength of the Lakers.

In the number of games lost, it is not because the Lakers are not strong, but because of the excellent play of the opponent or the strategic abandonment of the Lakers, the team that can beat the Lakers head-on has not yet appeared.

Neither the Spurs, nor the Warriors, nor the Cavaliers have been able to beat the Lakers in a crucial battle, and the Lakers' record of 30 consecutive wins in the playoffs speaks for itself!

Now, there is finally a team that can beat the Lakers in a real confrontation, although Xiao Feng's triple-double data is still sharp, but the Lakers team without Kobe Bryant is still a little less resolute in offense at a critical time.

I have to say that the victory of the Thunder team has ignited the hope of the other 28 teams in the NBA to beat the Lakers, and the Lakers without Kobe Bryant are no longer the invincible team, they have fallen from the clouds and returned to the world!

This situation is also welcomed by the NBA's top brassips, after all, the NBA needs more competition. It is not the existence of solitude and defeat.

For the Lakers' loss, the NBA league paid a lot of money in private, tilting the Lakers' global broadcast times, advertising resources, and so on. Of course, this is also based on the fact that Xiao Feng and his Lakers are in the NBA and have a shallow foundation in the United States.

Jordan was invincible back then. It is not necessarily that the NBA league is making small moves in private, and the difference between Lao Mei and the United States is still very obvious.

However, this method is destined to be used only once, and when the Xiao family's connections in the United States become more and more extensive, even if the Lakers begin to monopolize the NBA championship, the NBA league can only let it go.

…………

The occasional loss didn't have much of an impact on the Lakers, who immediately defeated the Spurs who lost Duncan on their home court, and didn't make the two-game losing streak their opponents expect.

Judging from the comparison of strength, although there is no Kobe. But Mark, the United Arab Emirates, Jeremy Lin and others are all masters in the league, and the potential of rookies such as Towns and Zhou Qi is also quite large;

The Lakers are no longer the same team they were last year, but it's not easy to beat!

After the game with the Spurs, the Lakers had two days of rest, and the next game was played at home, so Xiao Feng specially gave the players a holiday, and they only gathered for training the day after tomorrow. Waiting for the big day after tomorrow.

The reason for the holiday is that the annual Thanksgiving Day in the United States is just around the corner. This festival is equivalent to the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, and has always been valued by the United States.

Xiao Feng's family has been living in the United States for four or five years, although they are still pure Chinese in their bones, but they also follow the local customs and began to live Thanksgiving, Christmas and other festivals.

When Xiao Feng returned to Neverland from Staples, several dolls had already started to pick and catch turkeys near the family's vegetable garden to prepare for tomorrow's thanksgiving dinner!

In order to let the elderly in the family pass the time. Xiao Feng opened up a vegetable garden of more than three acres in the manor, and there is a small pond and farm on the side, planting some vegetables, raising chickens, ducks and geese, which is full of pastoral interest.

This is perhaps the most expensive small farm in the world, and nearly ten acres of land are planned in Beverly Hills, where every inch of land is valuable, to grow vegetables and chickens. Only Xiao Feng has such a big deal.

Although the 'Miracle Farm' sends a lot of vegetables, fruits and poultry from time to time, in the old people's mind, it is best to be able to grow and breed their own vegetables.

In fact, this is also one of the family mottos of the Xiao family, whether it is poor or rich, the tradition of hard work and self-reliance cannot be lost.

At that time, the Xiao family's economic situation was only the middle and upper level in the countryside, but Mrs. Xiao never thought of selling the family's collection to improve their lives; after the rise of the 'Jinghu Group', the old people did not give up their daily work, perhaps such a life has been deeply imprinted in their bone marrow.

When he came to the United States, Xiao Feng also knew the habits of the old people, and immediately opened up a small farm after taking over the 'Dream Manor', which is also one of the important conditions for the old people to come to the United States to live.

"Dad, I'm going to catch that big turkey and roast it!" Nini saw Xiao Feng coming back, and hurriedly pointed to a big turkey standing in the chicken pen.

For Nini, who is 8 years old, she has already experienced several Thanksgiving days and knows that there is a tradition of eating roast turkey in the United States.

"Dad, Dad!" Ping An hugged Xiao Feng's thighs left and right, tilted his head and asked, "What is a roast turkey?"

Ping Ping'an is just over two years old, and in the past two Thanksgiving festivals, they don't have much memory, and naturally they don't know that the 'roast turkey' dish is a traditional Thanksgiving food.

"Tomorrow Dad will roast you turkey, and I promise to make you eat with a round belly!" Xiao Feng stretched out his hands to pick up the two cuties, kissed them on the face, and said with a smile.

Although he is usually busy with training and competitions, Xiao Feng still cooks all kinds of food for the children and his family whenever he has time, which in his opinion is an important part of family life.

Although there is a 'Dream Restaurant' in the 'Dream Manor', the Xiao family rarely eats in the restaurant, and more makes it themselves. This has nothing to do with slamming the door, it's more for the family atmosphere.

Hearing that Xiao Feng promised to make good food, the saliva of the two little gluttonous cats almost flowed out, and 'let's go' stamped Xiao Feng's face, and they smiled happily.

In the chicken pen, my father and father-in-law are catching turkeys. The old lady is commanding on the side, don't look at Xu Xiangnan, who is already in his sixties, and he is still a small soldier under the old people.

These turkeys were raised this spring, fed with pure grain and 'space spirit springs', and occasionally put into the vineyard to eat bugs, which can be regarded as land-walking turkeys. Compared with those farms that are intensively fed by the big road goods, the quality of these turkeys is naturally many times higher.

If you were to measure it by price, these turkeys would cost hundreds of dollars each!

In a few moments, eight large turkeys were already tied. The next night they'll have to go hungry so that tomorrow will be easier to deal with.

Naturally, it was impossible for Xiao Feng's family to eat these 8 large turkeys, which were used to reward the vineyard and restaurant staff, after all, they had made many contributions to the development of 'Dream Manor' in the past year.

For example, the 'Dream Restaurant' has now become a three-star Michelin restaurant, just like the 'Xiao Family's Private Restaurant', whether it is Chinese or Western food. All of them have been unanimously recognized by the industry!

In the past 10 months, Dream Restaurant has welcomed 300,000 customers. With a total revenue of more than $300 million, it has become the best restaurant in Los Angeles and even in the United States.

Nowadays, many entertainment stars, dignitaries and celebrities, as well as food lovers, are honored to be able to enjoy food at the 'Dream Restaurant', even if they are flying!

The 'Dream Restaurant' must be booked at least a week in advance, unless you're an international superstar, a dignitary or a super-rich. It is possible to get the reserved emergency box.

The reputation of the 'Dream Restaurant' is naturally inseparable from the hard work of the restaurant staff, many of whom work far away from their families in Los Angeles and only have one and a half months of family leave every year, which is quite a torment for everyone.

The staff at 'Dream Restaurant' are hard at work. Under the leadership of Xiao Li, the 'Dream Winery' has also developed quite well, although the winery only produces 20,000 bottles of 'Dream Wine' per year, its output value is not inferior in any way. To ensure that the best wine grapes are cultivated and the best wines are made, Xiao Li and his team spend almost all year round at the winery, with a lot of work to do every day.

In order to motivate employees, in addition to superior salaries and generous benefits, Xiao Feng will also have a variety of heart-warming actions, such as special rewards on various holidays.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, Xiao Feng will also cook himself, roast turkey for the employees, make all kinds of food, the whole 'Dream Manor' is a big family, for family dinners.

'Dream Manor' was going to have a dinner on Thanksgiving, and Xiao Qiang, Yang Yuanhang, Ma Wanli and others also put down their work and escorted the best batch of ingredients to Los Angeles.

For Xiao Qiang's arrival, several children were the happiest, because Uncle Qiang liked to play with them the most, and Xiao Xin's younger brother could accompany them.

Soon, the manor was full of laughter from Xiao Qiang and the children, and the festive atmosphere of the entire manor seemed to become stronger.

This time, the plane was accompanied by top-quality steaks, top-quality lamb, and a variety of organic fruits and vegetables, which were carefully selected by Xiao Qiang and Ma Wanli to celebrate Thanksgiving.

…………

On Thanksgiving night, the 'Dream Restaurant' closes at 8 p.m., which is also a way for Xiao Feng to reward his staff for going to bed early.

The tables and chairs in the dining room have been adjusted, and a 20-metre-long long table is covered with a white tablecloth with silver candlesticks on it, and the various dishes on the table sparkle with charming brilliance.

In order to reward his employees and family, Xiao Feng did his best to make dozens of exquisite dishes, in addition to the traditional Thanksgiving dish of roast turkey, more of the food is considered the taste of Chinese people.

Even if it was a small roast turkey, Xiao Feng took great pains to stuff a local chicken, a pigeon and a goose egg into the turkey, and filled it with breadcrumbs in the middle to absorb the excess fat.

Xiao Feng did not use an electric stove or oven for baking, but used a charcoal oven for baking, which put forward higher requirements for cooking skills and heat control. Of course, only these dear family members and employees who strive to create value for the 'Mirror Lake Group' can enjoy such exquisite food.

In addition to roasting turkey, Xiao Feng also made famous Chinese dishes such as Buddha jumping over the wall, and the whole Thanksgiving banquet was filled with a strong Chinese flavor.

In fact, the Thanksgiving dinner is just a microcosm of various Western festivals of the North American Division of 'Jinghu Group'.

"Thank you for your hard work in the past year, the group's various industries in North America have developed rapidly, and the greatest credit is you!" Xiao Feng, as the host, stood up with a wine glass, thanked the employees, and said: "This glass of wine, on behalf of all the senior management of the group, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"

By Xiao Feng's side, Xiao Qiang, Xu Mengyao, Yang Yuanhang and others all drank it all, and the emotions of the employees present were also quite excited, and they followed suit.

For the employees under the name of 'Jinghu Group', the group's generous salary and various policies and systems with great humanity have made their satisfaction index always high.

In the past few years, 'Jinghu Group' has always been the best employment company in people's minds, which is not an exaggeration, but the senior management of 'Jinghu Group' has done it solidly.

After the photos of the Thanksgiving dinner were uploaded to the neck by Xiao Feng, it also sparked heated discussions among netizens and fans, after all, the human touch of the 'Jinghu Group' is vividly reflected in these details.

Everyone is envious of the employees of the 'Mirror Lake Group', it is great to have such a caring boss, not only to spend Thanksgiving with them, but also to cook food himself. Of course, what makes people more interested is that the salary of the employees of 'Jinghu Group' has always been more than 20% higher than that of the same industry, and some technical backbones and front-line employees get more salaries.

The Thanksgiving dinner undoubtedly made the 'Jinghu Group' popular in China, and many senior graduates who were in the job search stage threw their resumes to the human resources department of the 'Jinghu Group', trying to stand out from the huge competitors and work in this most dynamic super enterprise in China.

For many people, it is a blessing to be able to work in such a company that is full of human touch and strong strength! )
