Chapter 147: A Woman's Independence
Gentlemen cook in ancient timesβin fact, today, both in the East and the West, especially in high society, this is probably still the case. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ The title of info gentleman, Zhou Yu now feels that it should be an upper-class person with status, not a scholar.
It is said that Westerners and gentlemen are far away from cooking, for example, those rich and gentlemen, how many of them cook by themselves? Who doesn't have a large group of servants in their house? Chefs are a team!
In fact, the gentleman cooks far away, not talking about dirty mess, not killing or anything like that. The deeper meaning lies in interests. When cooking, if you use it to do other things, it will be a lot of money in minutes!
Even Zhou Yu, in fact, is the same - in these years, the strong are always strong. Zhou Yu now has extremely strong capital, and if he takes it out casually and goes around in the capital market, he will have a great harvest.
The richer a person is, the easier it is to make money, and the more he has no money, the less likely it is to make a fortune.
This is the essence of the truth.
Therefore, the gap between the rich and the poor in the world is getting wider and wider.
But Zhou Yu doesn't care about this.
Some people say that making money is like drinking salt water, the more you drink, the thirstier you get, the more you have to drink, and it will never stop. The human heart has no end. But Zhou Yu may not be a real capitalist yet - from a young man who graduated from high school to a world-class billionaire, the time is too short.
He prefers a laid-back life, where he doesn't have to work or get tired.
Anyway, now, the money is enough and enough, and it won't be spent in ten lifetimes, so why not take it easy?
In other words, those who have achieved such an achievement as Zhou Yu and don't want to work hard are most likely to chase their own ideals, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, antique collection, etc.
But Zhou Yu felt that he didn't seem to have much demand in this regard. There are not many ordinary hobbies, except for women, either reading books, or fishing, or carving something, that's all.
So, there's plenty of time. When people are idle, there are many messy ideas. For example, he suddenly wanted to fry locusts yesterday, and even fought with the chef with a red face, which is obviously nothing to do, idle.
But that way, it's not bad. It's a good way to spend some time cooking.
When it comes to cooking, Zhou Yuhui doesn't have many dishes. In addition to those few home-cooked dishes, fried shredded pork, stewed pork ribs and the like, there are no more moves.
Even fried steak was learned from Tina after coming to the United States.
The technology is not as good as Tina.
Oh, and egg fried rice, which has to be.
But if you do it every day, you will be tired of eating it. The farm is rich in resources, including vegetables and meat, as well as seafood.
To get the most out of it, you need to learn a little more about the dishes.
"No," Zhou Yu said to himself after wandering around the kitchen for a while, "I have to go to Xitok." β
Seeing that it was dusk outside, it was not too late, and he hurried out of the house, and drove to the small town of Sitok.
In the twilight, the scenery is exceptionally peaceful and beautiful. After entering the town, Zhou Yu involuntarily slowed down the car, and watched while walking.
Probably because of Zhou Yu, Sitok's income increased greatly, so that Mayor Edith had enough funds to dress up Sitok. Now it seems that the results have been substantial.
As far as the eye can see, the whole of Sitok seems to have a new look.
Not only have the flowers and trees on the street changed, the degree of greenery has become much higher, and even the garbage cans have been replaced with new ones. And in terms of cleanliness, it is also a few grades better than when I first arrived in Xitok - distinct, and there are many more cleaning personnel.
At dusk, you can see some residents wandering and relaxing on the streets.
Zhou Yu stopped the car on the street corner, his head sticking out of the car window, and asked the two white elderly couples on the street, "Hello, two elders." I would like to ask, where is the bookstore? β
"A bookstore? You keep going, probablyβ" The old man pondered for a moment, and said to the old woman playing with her arms, "It's three hundred meters, right?" β
The old woman nodded, and said kindly, "It's three hundred meters." Young man, you go straight ahead for three hundred meters, and the bookstore is on the left. β
"Thank you." Zhou Yu thanked him, looked at the two kind old men again, and nodded.
As quiet and deep as dusk, the old couple, smiling in the sunset, gave Zhou Yu a special feeling. He suddenly remembered that when he was old, who would accompany him on the side of the street?
Is it Tina, or is it Angie?
With such an exclamation, Zhou Yu came to the place that the old couple said. Sure enough, I saw a bookstore standing.
After getting out of the car, he walked forward, and through the glass door, he saw a brown-haired woman holding a book in the counter inside, reading with relish.
Knocked on the glass door, then pushed the door in.
The woman raised her head and saw Zhou Yu, a hint of color flashed in her eyes: "Zhou? β
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then looked carefully: "Ruth? β
Ruth pursed her lips and laughed.
"You're not..."Zhou Yu looked at the stacked bookshelves and couldn't help but say: "I remember, didn't you work in a furniture store at that time?" β
"Jobs can be changed, aren't they?" Ruth's eyes rolled.
Zhou Yu touched his nose, and then looked at Ruth carefully.
Compared to two or three years ago, Ruth is so much more mature. Especially the figure, it is even more concave and convex, not inferior to the model. She has brown hair and a shawl, and she doesn't wear any ornaments on her head, so she looks natural. The eyes are large, the pupils are also brown, and the eyebrows on them are slender and slender, which must have been carefully groomed.
On the lips, there is a pink lipstick, which is very shiny, and makes people feel the urge to kiss the fragrance.
On the small earlobe, there are two simple studs, and a few freckles on the face also add a touch of charm. It's just that under Zhou Yu's very eyesight, he saw coarse pores, which were a bit untasteful.
She wore a blue plaid short-sleeved shirt with a simple floral, and her chest was so high that it almost cracked. Vaguely, Zhou Yu also saw a touch of purple lace looming on the neckline.
"It's been a long time," Zhou Yu looked at it and said with a smile: "You know, I rarely come to Xitok." Did you graduate from college? β
He remembers that when they first met, Ruth said she was still in college.
"Uh-huh." Ruth smiled and stood up, "Just graduated." β
"Then this bookstore..."Zhou Yu pointed to the bookshelves.
"It's mine." Ruth opened her arms as if hugging the entire bookstore: "My biggest dream is to have my own bookstore. Now I do. β
"Remarkable." Zhou Yu gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely.
That's true. Ruth has just graduated and is able to own her own business, which is not easy. And looking at her proud appearance, it is definitely not the family's money to start it, but her own hard work.
"Thank you." Ruth enjoyed the appreciation, especially since the person in front of her was not an ordinary person.
Then he said, "Zhou, you want to buy books?" β
And again: "What type is needed?" Literary works? A scientific magazine? Science fiction, fantasy novels? Fairy tale? Parenting? Or something else? β
She gushed about her bookstore, and knew exactly what kind of book and even which author's book was in that position.
Zhou Yu listened with a smile, and finally said, "Is there a recipe?" β
Ruth looked surprised: "Recipes? She said it with a bit of difficulty: "I thought you should need some literature or a scientific magazine?" β
"No, no, no, I want a recipe." Zhou Yu shook his head.
"Well, you're a strange person." Ruth said, "A rich man like you, I've never heard of anyone buying recipes. If I were a journalist, it would be exposed, and it would be good news. β
"The recipe is in the miscellaneous book, and the bookshelf at the back, you come with me." As she spoke, she led the way, passing through the rows of bookshelves, and stopped in front of the row of bookshelves closest to the wall.
"Well, that's it." Ruth pointed.
Zhou Yu slipped over and couldn't help asking, "Isn't there a Chinese recipe?" β
"Chinese Recipes... Let me thinkβ" She walked to the corner of the bookshelf and flipped through it for a moment, "Found it!" β
Zhou Yu took a look - Sichuan cuisine.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said happily: "That's what I'm looking for!" Thank you, Ruth. β
"Why don't you buy something else? French food should be good. There are French recipes, as well as professional pastry books, which I think you should need. Ruth bent her eyebrows and said with a smile.
"French pastries or something." Zhou Yu shook the Sichuan cuisine in his hand and said, "This is enough for me to study for a long time." β
"Okay," Ruth shrugged, "It seems that you have a soft spot for Chinese food, but unfortunately I only have this kind of Chinese recipe here, so I would have prepared a few more if I knew it, alas..."
"What, business is not good?" Zhou Yu looked at her shaking her head and sighing, and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"You know," she explained, "that Sitok is only that big..."
"Then why not open a bookstore in Santa Maria?" Zhou Yu asked again.
"I love Sitok, and my home is here."
Ruth said very seriously.
Zhou Yu spread his hands: "How much?" β
"Seven beautiful knives." Ruth held out her hand.
...
Leaving Ruth's bookstore with the recipe, Zhou Yu stood on the side of the street for a while, and finally couldn't help but shake his head and smile. He felt that most of the girls in the United States seemed to be very strange, very different from those in Great Xia.
Tina, for example, has been an inspirational agronomy since she was a child. For example, Anji, in order to travel, even took a leave of absence. Another example is Ruth, whose ideal is to open a bookstore.
In a way, they are more independent.
But Zhou Yu remembered Wang Xiaoyi again - it stands to reason that Wang Xiaoyi is also very independent. But there is a huge difference between them.
Wang Xiaoyi's independence, Zhou Yu thinks, is extreme. It's as if she thinks that when she is with Zhou Yu, she must have her own industry, an industry comparable to Zhou Yu, so that she can face Zhou Yu openly, otherwise it seems that there is some plan.
In comparison, such as Anji, she doesn't have this idea of making Zhou Yu crazy.
Zhou Yu sometimes feels that Anji is more like a woman in Daxia than Wang Xiaoyi. (To be continued.) )
