153 Language exchanges

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi in the line of sight stood in the center of the crowd, Alice and Daniel stood next to them left and right, and there were a few other people scattered around them, like stars and moons, they were talking about something, their expressions were very solemn and serious, but they couldn't hear clearly in the noisy crowd. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lu Li thought something was wrong, and hurriedly walked up, and then heard Alice's stumbling Chinese, "So...... You are more ...... Like...... Well...... What project?"

Although it is intermittent, one sentence is finally complete, and the word order is actually not wrong, which is really rare.

Daniel, who was standing next to him, also looked like he wanted to say something, nodded his head, and repeated, "Project!" as if parroting, a very normal conversation, but because of their overly serious expressions, it became a little funny, and people couldn't help laughing.

Lu Huaijin didn't answer immediately, but thought about it seriously, "I like ......" The sentence is in English, he paused for a moment, carefully searching for the words in his mind, "Bullfighting, no saddle." Saddle, is that the word?" Lu Huaijin said verifiably, and then Song Lingyi nodded in affirmation, "Yes, Fourteen said so." Then Lu Huaijin continued, "It's like...... Jumanji's game. What about you?"

"I! I!" Daniel raised his right hand high, just like a student in the classroom who was reading hard, and answered in Chinese, but after speaking, he froze, stunned for a while, and then said to Alice in English, "What do you want to say about speed racing?"

Alice was also stumped at this time, unable to speak for a while, and her expression was quite struggling.

Seeing this scene, Lu Li also understood, they are learning language exchange, Alice and others use Chinese, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi use English, so dialogue practice, for language is very helpful, especially speaking. No wonder Fred said it was an alien language, and the rounding dialogue, the pronunciation of both sides was not very accurate, which was indeed a headache.

However, Lu Li did not step forward to help, the essence of language exchange is that even if you can't speak, you must be brave enough to speak, only in this way can the language be exercised, at least at the oral level. Therefore, Lu Li followed them, quietly watching them talk, but did not say anything to help.

"Fast race!" Alice finally remembered, and said a string of Chinese, but Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi were full of question marks - what kind of project is this?

Even so, Lu Li still did not speak out to correct the mistake - if it is corrected like the teacher's teaching, in fact, the meaning of language exchange will be lost, and the core idea of language exchange is that the two sides of the dialogue complete the entire communication by themselves, and after learning, they will systematically find the teacher to correct it, only in this way will the progress be the most obvious.

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi noticed Lu Li next to them, and both of them subconsciously threw a look of help at their son, but Lu Li spread out his hands, looking innocent, as if he didn't know what they were talking about, neither of them expected such a reaction, and couldn't help but be stunned, but Lu Huaijin reacted relatively quickly, and then understood Lu Li's intentions, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smile, a little helpless, and some affirmation - he himself is a teacher, and he naturally understands this.

"You mean...... Competition?" Lu Huaijin thought carefully, made a running posture with both hands, and associated as much as possible, sure enough, Alice and Daniel nodded immediately, and another girl next to her suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted loudly in Chinese, "Speed race!" Everyone suddenly realized that this conversation could finally continue.

They communicated in Chinese compared to English all the way, and when they went back, Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi simply changed to Daniel's car, and then two of their friends who didn't know anything about Chinese sat in Lu Li's car and returned to Yunfeng Ranch all the way.

When I returned to the ranch, it was already half past eleven in the evening, and after a long day of carnival, everyone was a little tired, and began to wash up one after another, but the language exchange group seemed to be in good spirits, and a group of people sat in the hall of the main house, chatting and pulling strings, and there was no tiredness at all.

However, Lu Li knew that Song Lingyi's voice was already hoarse, and it was estimated that she would lose her voice tomorrow; Lu Huaijin's heart was not good, so she couldn't sleep too late, and rest was the basis for maintaining her body. It's just that the two of them are still bursting with adrenaline now, and they don't feel tired for the time being, and after this energy passes, their bodies will not be able to support it, and they may get sick if they are not careful.

Lu Li was still a little worried in his heart, but he didn't directly step forward to interrupt his parents' interest, they finally had a party and a carnival, which was really rare. Instead, Lu Li turned around and entered the kitchen, rummaged for a while, and found the houttuynia that Liu Xiaoyan had given him before.

Houttuynia cordata is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine, which can be used for cooking and medicine, and the most famous effect is to clear heat and detoxify, and it can also be antibacterial, antiviral, and improve the body's immunity, but it is cold and not suitable for consumption in winter. But here in the United States, almost no one will eat, and even grow not much, Liu Xiaoyan is a relative and friend from Montana sent her some, she gave Lu Li a little bit, only a small handful, in case of emergency. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today.

This is sun-dried Houttuynia cordata, which cannot be cooked, but its utility is not compromised. Lu Li started a fire and boiled a large pot of boiling water, then threw the houttuynia down, turned off the low heat and cooked it slowly.

After preparing the Houttuynia cordata, Lu Li lit another stove next to him, filled a large pot of water with the big pot that usually cooks pasta, found three tubes of noodles in the cabinet, and after the water boiled, threw all the noodles down to boil, after the water boiled, add cold water to cool, after the water boiled again, add cold water again, and so on three times, take out all the noodles and put them next to it to cool.

Then I brought out the beef bone broth that Lily had sent a few days ago, and this beef bone broth was boiled for 18 hours, which really kept the essence of the beef bones, which is the favorite way of French cuisine, using broth to enhance the flavor, discarding the processed taste of MSG, and using the original taste of the food to enhance the freshness.

While heating the beef bone broth, Lu Li threw the fresh lettuce he had picked before into the boiling water, and then found the previously marinated sauce beef, and began to slice it, after the beef was cut, the beef bone broth also boiled.

Put the noodles into a bowl, then add the beef bone broth, throw two slices of lettuce, sprinkle a little chopped green onion, then sprinkle a few grains of salt, and finally add three slices of soy sauce beef.

Lu Li brought the clear soup noodles to the restaurant, and there was no need for him to call at all, Cole, Fred, Randy and others had already smelled the fragrance and ran over, and even the people who were talking in the hall gathered one after another, asking nonsense, "What is this? What is this?"

"It's not for you. Lu Li stepped back from the approaching Randy with a look of disgust, and said in a loud voice, "Dad, Mom, come here." You must be hungry by now, so eat something simple. ”

In fact, Lu Huaijin is not in good health, and he has no habit of eating supper at night, generally speaking, he tries to avoid eating after nine o'clock. However, today is more special, not only is I tired all day, but I have also eaten something for lunch and dinner, and I haven't really sat down to eat well, and now Lu Huaijin's body definitely needs to be soothed. The same is true for Song Lingyi.

Lu Li turned around and went to the kitchen again, made a second bowl according to the gourd drawing, and served it to Song Lingyi, "Mom, sit down and eat something." You want to exchange languages, and then you have time, so let's talk while eating. Lu Li smiled at his mother, stepped forward and hugged Song Lingyi's shoulders, escorting her to sit down at the table, "Quick, eat while it's hot." ”

"Fourteen, what about us?" said Randy, grimacing.

Lu Li shrugged, "I thought you didn't like noodles. "Pasta is a very typical Asian dish, and while pasta is very popular all over the world, noodles are not. Americans prefer Japanese udon noodles to Chinese noodles – udon's shops can be found on the streets. The taste of the noodles is not very suitable for them.

"We haven't even tried it, we always have to try it. Fred immediately complained, "Even if you don't like it, you have to taste it to be qualified to speak." Fred couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he couldn't tell if it was because he was hungry or because the smell of beef bone broth was too greedy.

Ignoring the argument next to her, Alice couldn't wait to start communicating, "Lingyi, what is this?" The language exchange still didn't end.

"It's noodles. Song Lingyi's English is now quite fluent, although the words are simple, but the most important thing is to be able to accurately convey the meaning, "It is a kind of beef noodles." ”

Alice, Daniel and the others started the language exchange again, Lu Li couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene, laughed dumbly, and then raised his head, and saw Fred, Randy, Cole and others looking at him with a look of resentment, like a chick waiting to be fed, he was also speechless for a while, beckoned, and walked towards the kitchen, and then everyone walked around Lu Li, and they all smiled happily.

Lu Li put the noodles up for them, but after looking closely, such noodles were really too light for them, they definitely couldn't eat them, and they couldn't even detect the taste in their mouths. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Li walked to the living room, opened the suitcase that Lu Huaijin and they brought over, found a glass bottle, and put it on the kitchen counter.

"Fourteen, what is this?" Randy asked impatiently.

Lu Li showed a big smile, "This is a magic flavoring, if you don't feel that the taste is exciting enough, just add a little, and adjust the amount according to your own taste, ensuring that any food can become delicious." ”
