(The two hundredth chapters of each book are a chop, and the old donkey didn't expect it to arrive so soon...... Ask for a commuter pass! ）

Catherine suddenly raised her eyebrows and said, "Actually, few women have held a pre-marital bachelor party before, and this party seems to be a man's patent. It is only in recent years that women have begun to rise single, but they are more restrained. As for how to play the men's bachelorette duì, I don't think I need to introduce it. ”

Chen Tiandu was embarrassed again, coughed dryly, picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.

Pai duì culture is ubiquitous in the United States, Pai duì is commonly used in English as party, and has the meaning of gettogether, byinvitation, and forpleasure, which shows that Pai duì should have three elements, first Pai duì is a party, secondly, Pai duì must have a host, and finally points out that Pai duì can create joy.

The history of pai duì can be traced back to ancient times, when people gathered to watch performative religious ceremonies or to sing and dance happily around a bonfire before eating animal meat, which was the predecessor of pai duì. The court balls of Louis XIV in France, and the various gatherings that have been popular since then, have reached a peak of luxury, and now the duì is now popular.

November is definitely a lively month for the United States. On the one hand, the political elections at all levels are vigorous, and on the other hand, various grand festivals are coming one after another, and there are also many factions. In English, the word "party" and "party" both use the same word, party, and the spelling and pronunciation are the same. The Chinese usually like to transliterate the latter meaning directly as pai duì.

Americans probably like to toss and turn like this. And he never gets tired of it, sometimes it seems that Chen Tiandu, the gentle and frugal descendants of Yan and Huang, is really full!

Of course he admits it. The existence of anything always has its rationality, especially when such things have become a kind of culture. What's more, following the local customs is originally a principle of life.

However, Chen Tiandu's expression of "rarely participating in the faction" and living in a simple place is actually an inadaptability to the American way of life.

Thankfully, this year he's already started to transform, at least he's done with family-style pies. He also participated in the banquet-style pie, and now a few friends are traveling to Las Vegas together, and it is an on-call gathering party. He's participating.

In fact, think about it, stealing half a day of leisure, a group of people who know or don't know get together to eat, drink and have fun. No constraints on each other. It's pretty good, too.

The American culture of pie duì actually embodies an attitude of positive communication and interaction between people. If liking to complain represents the hawkish side of Americans, then liking is undoubtedly representing the side of their dovish personality. Therefore, to understand the United States and Americans, the most straightforward way to learn about the culture is to do so.

He immediately thought of another question, "The man's bachelor party duì must be going to pick up girls for fun." Douglas went to the, then the woman's bachelorette duì. Isn't it also a pleasure seeker...... This is really, so that Oriental men can't stand it. ”

Thinking of this, the eyes that looked at Catherine suddenly became a little weird.

Catherine suddenly turned up the corners of her mouth, revealing a seductive smile, and said, "Do you want to know how a woman's bachelorette does?" ”

Chen Tiandu nodded not nodding or notting, but instinctively felt that the other party's eyes were a little weird, and it seemed that this question should not be continued. While hesitating how to answer, Catherine suddenly avoided the topic and said, "I want to go for a drink, would you like to go with you?" ”

Chen Tiandu was surprised and pointed upstairs, "Above? ”

"No, I don't want to go up again. There are so many places to drink in Las Vegas, do you want to go? ”

“OK！”

Chen Tiandu finally got smarter, and came downstairs with Catherine, he drove the car over, opened the door for her, and invited her to get into the car, and his elegant demeanor reflected his demeanor. In a word, why did he come out, he wants to try his best to make up for the loss of points just now - don't get me wrong, he doesn't have much other thoughts, he just wants to have an extra girlfriend in Hollywood!

The two arrive at a small music restaurant called Melody, with low wooden doors outside, still retaining the western style of the last century. There are climbing vines on the walls, and the place is remote and there are few passers-by. If it weren't for the fact that a little light was flickering here, strangers would not have been able to find it.

According to the standards of dinner, beef, wine, desserts and the like are indispensable, and all kinds of knives and forks are indispensable. Chen Tiandu has also developed a stinky problem now, and he loves to study what he eats deeply, he did not gentlemanly hand the menu to Catherine, but asked first, "Can I order food?" ”

Catherine gave him a strange look, "Whatever." ”

Then Chen Tiandu stared at the menu and studied it carefully, and asked Catherine's taste while reading, and after a while, he closed the menu and asked the waiter: "I'm not familiar with the name on your menu, this friend of mine is getting married in a few days, I want to treat her to a delicious meal, can you have a few dishes according to my wishes?" ”

This shop is a style shop, and it is not because it entertains many customers, so most of the customers who come and go are regular customers, and the fees are relatively high. There was no additional waiter, the waiter was the boss, and he had already recognized the identities of the two, and the news of Catherine's upcoming wedding was comparable to a grand event like the presidential election in the entertainment industry, and he naturally agreed at this moment.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Tiandu smiled, "Then let's make a cheese honey sauce steak, you can only use the residue of cheese making, not real cheese." Rendell insists on this because "real cheese doesn't dissolve into the meat". When making cheese, you can only use the residue from the cheese making process, don't use steak for beef, and use the hardest piece of meat instead of beef tendon, which will make it taste better with cheese. Inject a little red wine into the beef to make it taste crispier. Can it be done? ”

The boss shrugged and said, "It's a little difficult, but it's ...... Of course, no problem. Even Chinese food is fine, I'm afraid it won't be so authentic for Chinese. He almost slapped his chest and promised.

“Good。” Chen Tiandu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Then let's have another dish." Chicken is dipped in sweet and spicy sauce and bread sliced and fried, spring rolls are topped with cheese or cream, and fried rice with lotus seeds and matsutake mushrooms is served with golden eggs. Then salad, and a dessert. For dessert, add chopped chocolate to the butter cookie and two ice cream balls. ”

The boss's eyes lit up, "I think this dessert you're talking about is Ruth-Grave from Massachusetts, right?" ”

"You know, that's even better. That's right, it's that famous dish, and I've always wanted to try it. ”

"Okay." The boss took the menu and said happily, "I may need a little time." Now there are fewer customers, my son is home and I am the only one left in the store, please feel free, there is red wine to choose from, the piano is over there and there is a gramophone. If I need candles, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. ”

"NO~" Chen Tian smiled, "You misunderstood, we were friends who happened to meet." ”

"Oh, sorry." The boss laughed and asked in a slightly inquiring tone, "Anyway, you're the last batch of customers, can I close the door of the store in advance?" ”

This can be had, Chen Tiandu said: "Very good, thank you." ”

The best thing about American cuisine is that they can't even admit it, so they find a style that is close to it, and follow that name. For example, "ChineseFood" Chinese fast food, which spans all 50 states in the United States, offers more than 10 beautiful, deep-fried, and soy sauce-baked dishes. There is also what Chen Tiandu ordered just now, the chicken is dipped in sweet and spicy sauce and bread and then fried, it is called tangerine peel chicken, spring rolls with cheese or cream, and the remaining oil in the plate after eating fried rice and fried noodles can be used to copy 2-3 side dishes. These dishes all have one thing in common, they are all American ideas to borrow the model version of Chinese food.

In fact, it is all Chinese food on the outside, and Western food on the inside. This secret was discovered when Chen Tiandu first came to the United States, otherwise he would not have used food to trap Kate.

The boss nodded and finally left, leaving only the two of them. Catherine looked at him curiously, "You really like to eat, I heard Kate say that your cooking skills are great, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

Chen Tiandu smiled, "Kate told you this?" I do have this hobby. I can't help it, because I'm so delicious, and when someone else can't make it to my taste, I have to do it myself. What flavors of red wine do you like? ”

There are many types of red wine, in fact, according to the time of drinking, there are different aperitifs, table wines, after-dinner wines and special drinks. Westerners are very particular about these, but due to the limited conditions, they generally do not change red wine frequently. Catherine thought for a moment and said with some distress: "I want to drink a little fruit wine and custard, what should I do?" ”

Chen Tiandu said, "There's nothing to worry about, so let's get together." Catherine's fruit wine and custarnog are actually varieties that classify different ingredients for brewing. The multi-table xiàn is slightly different in taste. If you are not a real expert, you can't even taste the subtleties. Do-it-yourself, I picked out two bottles of some vintage Louis on the wine shelf, looked at the label and frowned slightly, "The degree is a bit big, there is no better choice." ”

Catherine smiled and said, "It's okay, I like to drink high-strength ones." ”

"Want to listen to music?"

Catherine raised her eyebrows, propped one hand on the table, revealing her languid posture and life-threatening curves, and said lazily: "Forget about the gramophone, if you can play the piano, I don't mind listening to it." ”

Chen Tiandu smiled and said: "This is not difficult for me, let me think about it......" He sat straight over, opened the piano board, and then quickly searched for the track in his mind, and finally selected a classic tune, known as the best music in the world, the angel of sorrow. snapped his fingers, "Yes, let's play this tune." ”

Catherine said, "I won't applaud if it doesn't sound good." ”

"Come-on, you're really hard to serve." Chen Tiandu was in trouble.

"Uh-huh~~" Catherine Thief urged with a smile, "Let's start quickly, I can't wait." ”

Chen Tiandu took a deep breath and tried a few tones first, and the pitch was all tuned, obviously someone often used it. (To be continued......)
