Led the Quinn family into the house and went straight to the dining room, where the table was full of plates of authentic Chinese dishes. Mark cheered, "I like Chinese food, like scrambled eggs with tomatoes, oh, and shredded pork with fish flavor." Watson, do you have any of these dishes tonight? ”

The old lady smiled and beckoned the Quinn family to sit down, and interjected: "There are no tomato scrambled eggs, but there are shrimp scrambled eggs." ”

"The dishes you are talking about are the most common dishes in Chinese families, those Chinese restaurants opened in the United States, many dishes have been improved by the chef, and there is no original Chinese flavor, tonight, our family has prepared the most authentic Chinese dishes, Mark, you usually go to those Chinese restaurants can not eat these authentic Chinese flavors." Li Chenghua smiled.

"yes, that's great." Mark smiled happily.

Unscrewed the red wine that Mark had given him and poured it into the cups in front of everyone. In Lao Mei, to express satisfaction with the gift, it is to open it on the spot, so Li Chenghua did not use the red wine prepared by himself, but directly opened the red wine sent by Mark to entertain everyone.

"Well, it tastes so good, what is this made of?" Mrs. Quinn's son-in-law, Frank, gave a thumbs up.

"This is braised hoof, ti-pang, which is pork leg meat." Li Yigang, as the head of the family, explained to the guests.

"Oh, mygod——!" Frank looked at the meat on the plate in surprise, "This is made of pork?" Oh my God, there's no weird smell at all, amazing Chinese cooking! ”

Elizabeth pulled her fussy husband, took a sip of red wine, and asked with a smile, "I heard that there are many ingredients in Chinese cuisine that are made from animal offal, are there any of these dishes tonight?" ”

Qin Wanyu pointed to a certain plate on the table and said, "Isn't the most famous dish in France, foie gras, also made from poultry offal?" For eating, Chinese can be said to fly in the sky, swim in the river, and run on the ground, and can make delicious food according to local conditions. Elizabeth, try this dish and tell me how you feel when you're done. ”

Elizabeth scooped a spoonful with a puzzled face, put it on the plate in front of her, stuck a piece with a fork, put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and after a while, her eyes lit up, "Wow - it's delicious, a bit like meat, but it's not meat!" My dear, can you tell me what this is made of? ”

When Mark heard his sister's evaluation, he quickly scooped a spoonful and put it on his plate, couldn't wait to insert a piece into his mouth, and raised his thumb while eating and said "good!"

Qin Wanyu first scooped a bowl of soup for her son and daughter sitting beside her, and replied with a slight smile: "This dish is called stir-fried pork kidney, and it uses the kidneys on the pig's body." ”

"What ——?"

"It's incredible!" Mark and Elizabeth blurted out at the same time, both with surprised expressions on their faces.

"Pig offal can be so delicious, but what about cow offal? Can you make it delicious? The little beauty Lilian opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Qin Wanyu, and asked curiously.

"Of course, any offal in a cow's body can be made into a delicacy. Lilian, next time you come back as a guest, Auntie will do it for you. Qin Wanyu replied.

"Mark, didn't you buy a ranch in Texas and raise some beef cattle? What do you do with the offal of those cows? Elizabeth turned to her brother and asked.

Mark picked up the napkin, wiped the corners of his mouth, and then picked up the red wine in front of him, "Cowboys send their cattle to the slaughterhouse, and after the beef is removed, the remaining offal and bones are sold to fertilizer processing companies at a very low price to make organic fertilizer. ”

Taking a sip of red wine, he continued to Li Chenghua in a joking tone: "Huasen, I can set up a slaughterhouse, as long as it is a little higher than the purchase price of the fertilizer company, those ranchers can't wait to send their cattle to your slaughterhouse." And then use your Chinese magic cooking methods to make mature food, and wow, dear Watson, I can guarantee that I will be a loyal fan of these delicacies! ”

Li Chenghua seemed to be a little interested, and asked, "Are there a lot of ranches in Texas?" ”

"Texas is America's famous cowboy home! There are hundreds of large ranches in the form of companies, as well as various family ranches, large and small, why, Watson, are you really interested? Well, next month I made an appointment with some of my friends to go on vacation to my ranch and take part in an autumn hunt there. Why don't you go with me and introduce you to some friends by the way? Mark warmly invited.

Li Chenghua and his father Li Yigang glanced at each other and put down their wine glasses, "It's a good way to vacation, Mark, I'm very interested, I just want to hang a deer head specimen on the wall of the study at home." ”

"Then it's decided, I'll call you to let you know the exact time!" Mark slapped his hands and asked, "Watson, do you have your own shotgun?" ”

"Shotguns?"

"Yes, dear Watson, although I have a lot of guns in my collection, you know the law, guns are not allowed to be lent!"

"I'm busy with work these days, and I forgot that it is legal to own guns in the United States, by the way, Mark, where can I buy guns here in Los Angeles?" Li Chenghua said with annoyance.

"Oh my God, my friend, don't sue me that you don't even have a gun license?" Mark asked with an exaggerated expression.

"Gun license? Can you explain it to me? You know we've only been in the U.S. for a short time, and a lot of things are still in the process of being understood. ”

"Well, my friend, it looks like you haven't got a gun license yet. For the sake of this meal, I'll help you figure out a way about the gun license, you know, this is Los Angeles, the capital of Hollywood! It's not those rural towns in the west, and it's not so easy to get a gun license. Mark scooped himself another spoonful of kidney flowers and placed them on the plate in front of him.

In the United States, private gun ownership is a right, not a privilege, guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. Residents of all states can purchase firearms, but each state has different restrictions on the possession and use of various types of firearms, and firearms can be purchased by U.S. citizens or green card holders.

Mark explained to the Li family that the gun license in Los Angeles is more troublesome, first you need to take the gun license, and only after you can take the gun license with the citizen card or green card to the gun shop to apply for the gun license, and only with the gun license can you buy a gun in the gun shop, and you can't use it immediately after buying the gun, the gun shop will call the police station, and the Los Angeles Police Department will immediately come to register the gun. Firearms should only be kept at home, and they must be separated from bullets. (Of course, the police don't usually come to the door to check if the gun owner has separated the gun according to the regulations.) ）
