Jamie was a little upset and in a terrible mood. The failure of the www.biquge.info investment, the setbacks of life, and the difficulties of the economic situation have pushed him into a desperate situation step by step, and the burden of the family, which is a sweet burden, has overwhelmed him, and they have a happy life, but it is not easy to continue to maintain it.

This is life, there are always countless helplessness, and countless confusions. Not everything can be answered, not everything can be judged right or wrong, maybe you can find an exit, maybe you can't, but life has to go on after all.

took a hard puff of the cigarette, but found that the cigarette butt had already been extinguished, so he directly threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and a deep voice came from his ear, "If I were you, I would pick up the cigarette butt." ”

Jamie looked up, and then he saw a young man dressed as a cowboy, and he vaguely remembered that his name was Cole.

Jamie's brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed anger, but before the anger could be vented, Cole raised his eyebrows and said mercilessly, "If this beech forest catches fire, even if you can afford to pay for it, things will be different after all, so, believe me, you will want to embarrass this beech forest." ”

The cold and blunt words made Jamie stunned, and finally he was defeated under Cole's gaze, bent down to pick up the cigarette butt, and put it in the palm of his hand.

Cole nodded in satisfaction, "Also, it's time for dinner." ”

Jamie looked up at the bright moon overhead, it was only seven o'clock at this time, and it was already dinner time? Isn't this too early? Dinner time in New York is usually eight or nine o'clock, and now he is not hungry at all...... But before he could speak, he lowered his head and found that Cole had already turned away, leaving only a hard back.

"Gollum."

There was a hungry sound in his stomach, which made Jamie bow his head in embarrassment. After a long journey today, with only half a sandwich for lunch and not even a glass of water for the whole afternoon, all the hunger pangs are surging with the phrase "it's time for dinner."

Luckily, there was no one else around.

Jamie fumbled his head irritably, tossed his hair completely, and walked briskly towards the main house.

Pushing open the door of the main house, a pungent smell of numb and spicy air came to his face, which made Jamie can't help but stop his pace, his brows furrowed, "What the hell does this smell like?" ”

The main room was silent, and even Carmen, the little one, didn't make any noise, which made Jamie's voice so clear that everyone could hear it.

"Food." This is Lu Li's answer, concise and clear, but not close to people.

Jamie was immediately enraged, "You call this food?" He was still worried that his "foul mouth" would be heard by the children, which did not seem to be good, but the burning anger immediately burned his reason, and he strode over, and then he saw the strange thing on the table.

A large cauldron, a large red cauldron with whole chili peppers and small black particles floating on it, dense and really scary, and the pungent smell came from here; A small pot, milky white soup water, two green onions wafting, and strange things like mushrooms, red dates, and even a tomato.

"This ...... What kind of garbage is this? Jamie directly accused, "It's just two cauldrons......

"Jamie Williams!" Alison slapped the table and stood up, scolding him, interrupting Jamie's words, and a huge burst of energy burst out in an instant, making the entire restaurant quiet.

Lu Li's eyes could see Carmen and Amber with their heads down, but Taylor looked at Jamie and then at Alison with complicated eyes, and the deep face was really indescribable.

"If you continue to be rude, then please leave immediately. We are guests here and the host entertained us with the utmost warmth, you either accept it or fuck off! Alison's words were very simple, with almost no superfluous explanations, and she simply gave the order neatly, "Jamie Williams, you have been rude enough today!" ”

Jamie stared at Alison with a sharp gaze.

Lu Huaijin and Song Lingyi were a little surprised, this was the first time they had come into contact with the family conflicts of the American middle class, they hadn't heard of this afternoon's episode, and they didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, but in the face of the confrontation at this time, both of them looked at Lu Li with some concern.

Lu Li nodded slightly, signaling the second elder to be calm.

"Carmen, did you know that seventy years ago, there were no Americans who liked to eat pizza at all?" Lu Li didn't intervene in the quarrel between Alison and Jamie, he didn't know anything about the Williams family, and even if he tried to persuade him, he chose to find another way.

"Huh? Are you sure? Carmen turned her head and whispered softly, as if she and Lu Li were whispering. But in such a quiet environment, the voices of the two people clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Of course it's true." Lu Li said with a smile, "A long, long time ago, pizza was introduced to the United States, and the greedy Italians crossed the Atlantic Ocean and came to this land to open up a new life......

"Just like Jack's little dance partner in 'Titanic'?" Carmen interjected, which made Lu Li stunned, and then he heard Jessica's laughter, which made Lu Li laugh too, nodded, and expressed his affirmation, "Yes, it's like his little dance partner's family." ”

"But at that time, pizza was just street food for Americans, no one liked it, and it was even just circulating in the Italian community." Lu Li continued, "Later, because of the war, countless American soldiers went to Europe to defend their homeland. When they came back to the U.S., they brought back pizza stomachs, you know, pizza is the most common thing they eat in their daily lives, it's convenient and quick......"

"And it's delicious." Carmen interjected again, and Lu Li laughed again, "Yes, it's delicious. Then, a large number of soldiers returned to their home countries, and pizza began to take on the scene. Only then did people discover that new things need to be open to acceptance, and at least give different foods a chance to try before they know if they like them. If we assume from the beginning that we don't like it, or even hate it, then we will never discover the beauty of the New World. ”

"We don't know how delicious pizza is?" Carmen said with a sudden realization, then nodded vigorously, and her smile couldn't help but bloom brightly.

"So, are you ready to try something new?" Lu Li pointed to the two hot pots on the table and enthusiastically introduced.

"I do!" Carmen said enthusiastically, and the cheerful mood was contagious to everyone at the scene.

Amber then said loudly, "I do! In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused, which made Amber a little shy, but she managed to keep her composure, "I mean, this thing doesn't look good, but maybe it's the same as pizza?" ”

"Rest assured, you won't regret it. This stuff is a hundred times better than pizza! Tony gave a thumbs up and affirmed.

Randy, who was sitting next to him, also nodded repeatedly, "It's going to make you stop." ”

"Really? Isn't that about to explode in the stomach? Carmen's words made everyone laugh, Carmen didn't know why, but Taylor patted Carmen's little head lightly, "Don't worry, I'll warn you before your stomach explodes." ”

The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became cheerful, and Jamie, who was standing next to him, became out of place.

Alison didn't pay attention to Jamie at all, and sat down directly, asking Jessica beside him, "Excuse me, how do you eat this thing?" Will it be a hassle? Why don't I have a clue at all? Then Jessica enthusiastically began to explain.

Song Lingyi looked left and right, then stood up and took the initiative to say to Jamie, "Sir, why don't you sit down and join us together?" Dinner hasn't started yet, it's waiting for you. ”

Hearing Song Lingyi's voice, Lu Li suddenly became nervous. If Jamie dared to speak disrespectfully to Song Lingyi, he swore that he would knock Jamie's teeth out on the spot.

Jamie didn't expect that the first person to extend an olive branch to him would be Song Lingyi.

Jamie froze in place, but finally didn't say anything, lowered his head, walked to the only empty seat and sat down, Alison on his left and Brandon on his right.

Seeing Jamie's movements, the tension in the kitchen completely dissipated, and the joy began to spread. Song Lingyi also breathed a sigh of relief, sat down again, and noticed Lu Huaijin's concerned gaze, she smiled and patted the back of Lu Huaijin's hand, indicating that she was fine.

It's just that Jamie's emotions are still tense, and he can't say how relaxed, and he looks at the two ...... in front of him with a frown Chafing dish. Of course, he knew that it was a hot pot, and although it was far from the hot pot they had in mind, it was still not difficult for the well-informed New Yorker to recognize.

He has no interest in hot pot, not at all. Even if Lu Li said so much just now, he knew that Lu Li was sneering, insinuating that the object was himself, and even covering his own behavior in the afternoon, but he didn't care, he didn't need a young hairy boy to educate him, if it weren't for Alison, he wouldn't want to stay here at all.

Leave, his only thought now is to leave, he needs to be quiet, to be quiet.

"Grunt", the stomach again came with a cry of hunger. “…… Well, maybe you can wait until dinner is over and then go to rest. Jamie told himself.

However, looking at the chopsticks in front of me, I looked left and right, and there were no knives and forks. Jamie picked up the chopsticks and looked at the table in front of him, it was full of dishes, and the plate was almost impossible to put down, but ...... He didn't know what to do, there was not a single dish he wanted to eat, there was no food he thought was worth trying.

"Dad, you should go to the side and get the sauce first." Carmen's voice rang out cheerfully across the table, "There's a whole bunch of sauces out there, you can choose according to your preference." ”
