Respecting the culture and eating habits of other countries is the principle that Li Cheng has always believed, so although he felt that Professor Bob did something slightly inconsistent with Li Cheng's taste, he still didn't say anything, but praised it very much, and the parents were the same, the taste buds on the tip of the tongue have long been conquered by chili peppers, no spicy and unhappy is the food characteristics of Hunan, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places, although the Swiss cuisine is exquisite, but it is still too greasy, all cheese, sausages and the like, at first the three of them thought it was good, but after eating too much, they felt unacceptable, Food culture is difficult to change in a short period of time.

But Wu Xiaowan seems to eat very energetically, and seems to be very satisfied with the dishes made by Professor Bob, the little girl just likes to eat sweets and greasy things, aren't you afraid of fat?

Swiss cold platter is the root cause of obesity in the Western world! At the dinner table, Li Zhiwu saw Bob and Wu Xiaowan's smooth Western food etiquette, chewing and swallowing slowly, quite gentlemanly, in comparison, Li Cheng and others were a little unsightly, completely countrymen's style.

Of course, Li Cheng didn't deliberately hide and perfunctory anything, when Shonan people eat, generally speaking, the speed is very fast, and Shonan people who go out to work only need about 5 minutes to clean a big bowl of rice, which obviously does not meet the requirements of health, and the damage to the stomach is still quite big.

But it also illustrates the hardships of being away from home! Don't have enough time to eat, especially a Western meal like now, where you chew slowly and have enough etiquette, at least 2 hours to eat?

This time, because he didn't adapt to the rules of Western food, he was more restrained and slow when eating, but it only took half an hour, and finally Li Zhiwu couldn't sit down, and said to Li Cheng: "Ah Cheng, you talk to this foreigner, let's go back?" ”

"Dad, it's rude to go back now, why don't you sit down and watch TV on the couch for a while?"

"It's all in English, where can I understand it?"

"There are also Chinese stations, I'll help you adjust it."

After Li Cheng finished speaking, he said to Professor Bob: "I'm sorry Professor, my father has finished eating and wants to watch TV for a while, I hope you don't mind, Professor You made a Swiss family banquet is really delicious." ”

"Thanks, feel free."

After Professor Bob finished speaking, Yi Xiaomei, who had been holding back her words and didn't dare to say what she said at the dinner table, also got up and left, and said apologetically to Wu Xiaowan before leaving: "Xiaowan, we are not used to eating Western food, so I'm sorry to let you see jokes." ”

"It's okay, auntie, it's the same when I first ate it." Wu Xiaowan always maintained a posture, did not move a bit, and resolutely implemented the etiquette of Western food.

Li Cheng explained to Professor Bob, then sat down on the sofa in the hall with his parents and chatted, Yi Xiaomei lowered her voice and said, "Ah Cheng, what do you think of Xiaowan?" ”

"Mom, we just met for the first time, and we didn't speak more than ten sentences, what do you think I can say about her? It is not objective to say that a person is good or bad. After Li Cheng changed the Canadian Chinese station, he poured a few glasses of warm water for his parents and himself, although the Western food tasted good, but generally speaking, it did not meet the requirements of Chinese rural people for food.

They are all traditional people, and it is reasonable that it is difficult to accept Western food for a while, which is why Li Cheng has always been in charge alone.

Times are changing, people are exposed to more and more things, in many fields everyone is chasing integration, innovation, absorption, the degree of Westernization is getting higher and higher, but the perception of taste is the same, the taste of hometown is always their favorite.

"Yes." Yi Xiaomei said, as if she was thinking about something, Li Zhiwu couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Xiaomei, what's the matter with you taking the initiative to tell Ah Cheng about the matchmaker?" And what is this called Wu Xiaowan, we just met for the first time, and we don't know the bottom line at all. ”

"Hehe, I'm too anxious, I guess I learned that I was cured from a serious illness, and I was too excited for a while." Yi Xiaomei smiled, after contact with Wu Xiaowan, she found that although Wu Xiaowan chatted with her very closely, these seemed to be based on having a son who owned a private ranch, and she seemed to look down on their actions and performances in her heart, as if she looked a little disdainful.

And during the meal, Yi Xiaomei, who has experienced life experience, also saw the clues, Li Zhiwu and Yi Xiaomei, who had not accepted formal Western food etiquette, were completely using the method of eating in the countryside to cope with Western food, which made Wu Xiaowan inadvertently show a little unhappiness, and when she saw that Li Cheng was also like this, she had a mentality in her heart that she was originally a "nouveau riche", and the mentality of expecting to hang up to the golden beetle son-in-law suddenly decreased.

In her opinion, as an overseas student, she is naturally superior, and there are not many suitors in China, and her self-aggrandizement is a lot. This is also the reason why it is difficult for Wu Xiaowan to find a boyfriend, her self-requirements are too high, and she must be rich, powerful, talented, and understand her own mind......

It's not that Wu Xiaowan doesn't have the right to pursue happiness, it's just that sometimes if she sets her goals too high, she really meets the right person, but because of the contrast between the previous high standards, there is a clear sense of gap, so that in the relationship, it will bring pressure to the man, making him miss happiness.

Although the sense of disappointment shown by Wu Xiaowan was not obvious, Yi Xiaomei really felt it, so she just chatted a few words about Wu Xiaowan and then shifted the topic to other aspects.

After a while, after Professor Bob left the table, he took a bottle of ice wine, poured a few glasses for Li Cheng and others to drink, and said: "The most famous and excellent thing in Canada is ice wine, and this is a Canadian poetry bottle ice wine in my collection." ”

Icewine is a type of sweet wine. It is a wine made from grapes that are naturally frozen on the vine when the temperature is low.

Originating from the southern shores of Lake Ontario on the Niagara Peninsula in Canada, adjacent to the historic town of Niagara Lakes, the Bottle Distillery is well-known in Canada and is highly respected by local counterparts, and its sweet wines are also favored by the Asian market for their noble quality. Although Canada had a late start to the wine industry, it does not have as much wine history as European countries, and the past is rarely mentioned among the New World wine countries. However, in recent years, Canada has gradually become a promising wine producer.

Canadian native products, in addition to ice wine, Li Cheng knows, there are also maple syrup, seal deep-sea fish oil and other health products, indigenous trinkets.

"Thank you, this ice wine tastes so ......" Li Cheng's cellar does not have this kind of ice wine, mainly vodka, whiskey, brandy, red wine and the like, although I have heard of ice wine, but I have never really drunk it.

"Weird, isn't it? Haha, the first time everyone drank it, everyone said that. Professor Bob smiled and took Li Cheng upstairs to the study, while his parents and Wu Xiaowan chatted in the hall.

Li Cheng saw a dazzling array of books on the shelves, and estimated that Bob would read a few books every month, and saw a fantasy novel "A Song of Ice and Fire", which was written by American writer George R. R. Martin.

Judging from the position of it and the degree of opening, Bob probably read it several times, and when he opened the title page, he wrote a line of English in black pen font: winterising. (Winter is coming)

There is also a familiar name: George R-R-Martin.

"Professor, is this an autographed book by George R-R-Martin?"

"Yes, A Song of Ice and Fire is my favorite novel, I read it more than ten times, and I review it once a month, George's fantasy ability is really amazing, and he actually fictionalized the Stark family, making many readers think it is real."

"Oh, I've read this novel too, and if it weren't for you, I really thought there was a prototype of this family."

Li Cheng chats with Bob about the storyline of the novel, and Professor Bob opens a safe, which is supposed to be a gun cabinet.

There are several firearms in it, including long guns, short guns, rifles, shotguns, etc., and the collection is quite rich.

Bob took an assault rifle in his hand and said, "Cheng, do you know this gun?" ”

"Well, the SG-550 from Switzerland." The SG550 5.56mm rifle has a simple structure, with only 174 parts in the whole gun, which is 63 fewer than the SG510 7.62mm rifle. At the same time, the gun massively uses stamping parts and synthetic materials, which significantly reduces the mass of the whole gun. The gun is durable, reliable, mobile, cost-effective, high-temperature, cold-resistant, and is a small-caliber rifle with a relatively successful design.

"That's right, Swiss military products are also very famous in the world, in addition to sabers, firearms are also one of the highlights, this SG-550 is my eldest son brought back from military service, as a testimony of our friendship, I give it to you!"

In the eyes of Westerners, they generally do not like to give gifts to each other, except on the occasion of birthday or major holidays, and this kind of gift is limited to family or close friends.

This also shows that Professor Bob attaches great importance to his friendship with Li Cheng, and is not dissatisfied because of his indecent behavior at the dinner table, after all, Western etiquette is just a etiquette set by Westerners themselves, and if you don't understand it, you don't understand, so why bother with vassals?

The SG-550 is an unrestricted assault sniper rifle, a military-style firearm, which has certainly not been modified, and is a semi-automatic high-configuration weapon.

And friends who have played CS Counter-Strike know that the SG-550, the price is $4200, you can switch freely between sniper mode and assault mode, and the aiming optical magnification is 2.25/6 times.

The highly accurate SG-550 is a powerful headshot weapon in the game! Of course, in reality, this firearm is also a highly accurate gun, and in Switzerland, soldiers have one each, and they can take it home after retirement, which is a kind of benefit.

"Thank you." Li Cheng didn't refuse, because he knew that this was Bob's kindness, and if he refused, it would be rude, not to mention that he had favored SG-550 for a long time! In Canada, the standard version costs $3,500, while in Switzerland, the gun is taken home after each soldier has completed his military service......

This is the benefit of completing military service in Switzerland! A handful of SG-550 worth more than 3,500 Canadian dollars, which is equivalent to more than 20,000 soft sister coins.
