"You're back."

When John walked into the hall of his house, Anna immediately stepped forward to take his hat and coat, and greeted him tenderly.

After handing over the things to the maid beside her, Anna smiled and said, "Are you hungry?" Dinner is almost ready to start. ”

"Hmm...... What about grandpa? ”

Nodding, John asked.

While the two were talking, old Huntelaar came down from upstairs, and when he saw John, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How do you feel about stepping down as dean today?" ”

"Hehe, relaxed."

Shrugging his shoulders, John's expression was indeed very relaxed.

Seriously, in fact, John has no management ability in his two lives, and the reason why he was the dean before was because of the role of stabilizing the morale of the army on the one hand, and personal vanity on the other hand, after all, the name of the first president of Heinz General Hospital was still quite attractive to him. Now that he had finally given up his position and was able to concentrate on being his own surgeon, John did feel completely relieved.

After a few idle words, the family walked to the restaurant.

Even though it's been a long time since he moved into his new home, John still doesn't feel comfortable walking in this spacious hallway. In his previous life, he was an ordinary surgeon, and although he was reborn with great benefits in this life, he has always lived in a small villa-like house. The empty hall made people feel a little chill in his heart, the high ceiling always gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression, and even the spacious bedroom always made him feel a little cold......

"It's mud that can't hold up to the wall, right?"

The corners of his mouth curled, and John couldn't help but smile as if laughing at himself.

The rectangular table of course would have been a little empty, so John and Anna sat facing each other next to old Huntelaar, and the huge dining room was actually only a small corner. This is the main reason why John doesn't like the house. It's too big, the space is large and the distance between people seems to be shortened all of a sudden, for example, this restaurant, although there is one more Anna to dine, but the feeling is far less warm than the small restaurant of the old house.

The two chefs had already prepared their respective dinners and set them on the table.

It's just that old Huntelaar and Anna are in front of lamb and fish. A traditional Western meal with a small plate of seasonal vegetables, followed by desserts such as pudding. But in front of John was a bowl of soup, a plate of diced kung pao chicken, and a bowl of rice, and instead of a knife and fork, he was holding a pair of slender chopsticks!

John returned from his honeymoon and Suli finally began his career as a chef at the Huntelaar family.

Since coming to New York, Su Li has lived as a chef at Huntelaar's house, but he has never had the opportunity to show his skills. On the one hand, this is because the family has been so busy these months. And because of the presence of the Brister family, John was afraid that they would not be able to accept the food and eating methods of Chinese food, on the other hand, although Su Li was born in a family of chefs, he still had some concerns about letting him cook for himself.

Hygiene habits are one thing, and the taste of meals is another.

John did not dare to have any illusions about the hygiene habits of Chinese chefs in this era, and when Su Li arrived, he immediately asked Hans to train him rigorously. Mr. Butler is familiar with this, especially in those years in Germany. Almost cultivated by John to be clean. Secondly, the differences of the times are unavoidable. Chinese food has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the next 100 years, and John can't eat Chinese food in this era, so after frequent "exchanges" with Su Li, he finally let the other party make a meal that he can accept......

"Hmm, today's kung pao chicken is doing well."

Perhaps because he hadn't been able to eat Chinese food for a long time, John ate a bowl of white rice in one go. Then he nodded with great satisfaction and smiled: "The steamed rice is also very good, not soft or hard, just right." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, sir!"

Su Li, who had a faint look of nervousness in his eyes, suddenly had a happy smile on his face when he heard this.

As a chef with good skills, Su Li has been holding his breath for the past six months. The key is that in the face of Mr. Huntelaar, a foreign devil, his craftsmanship has been picked out so much, and what the other party said is reasonable, and he can't find a reason to refute it. In the past half a year, he has not been idle every day, cutting vegetables and spooning in the kitchen all day long, in order to fight for this breath!

Today's kung pao chicken is a summary dish after Su Li has practiced for a long time, and now after listening to Mr. Huntelaar's praise, he finally let go of his heart.

But......

"It seems that the rumor that Mr. Huntelaar Jr. has been in Beijing for a few years is true."

After adding another half bowl of white rice to John, Su Li looked at Mr. Huntelaar who picked up his chopsticks and enjoyed dinner, and felt quite strange in his heart: in New York, a foreign devil's territory, a white man was eating Kung Pao chicken and white rice with chopsticks, which made Su Li can't help but feel a sense of spatial confusion......

"John, this ...... Is diced chicken really that good? ”

Seeing John's enjoyment, Anna's curiosity on the other side was suddenly aroused. She had also tasted Su Li's Chinese food a few times, and to be honest, it felt very ordinary, so it was difficult to understand why her husband liked it so much.

"It's delicious!"

After the food in his mouth at the moment, John nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "It's sweet and sour...... Hmm, it means that it is delicious with white rice. ”

"Uh...... All right. ”

After a few twitches at the corners of her mouth, Anna lowered her head and continued to attack her veal.

Steamed rice is a very strange thing in the eyes of almost all Westerners, and they can't even understand why it's a staple food. Accustomed to pasta, they could not accept this "light" food. However, Anna also knew that John had lived in the East, and could understand her husband's little "hobby", so just like old Huntelaar, it was understandable, but it was difficult to accept.

John didn't care much about his family's attitude.

Everyone knows how the current American society rejects the Chinese, and then extends to all aspects such as food, so John's preference for Chinese food will inevitably cause others to be surprised. This is also the reason why John did not go to the Chinese chef a few years ago, not to mention the eyes of others, even the old Huntelaar probably would not let him do this. But now, after a few years of hard work, he has the confidence to ignore the opinions of others, at least old Huntelaar will not say anything about such a trivial matter......

After enjoying a leisurely dinner, John wiped his mouth contentedly and smiled at his Chinese chef, "Sue, I think I'm already looking forward to tomorrow morning's rice porridge, pickles, and xiao long bao......" (To be continued. )
