Chapter 23 Wine is a confidant, but he only hates less wine

The house that Dr. Zhou bought is a British-style bachelor apartment designed for bachelors, with three bedrooms and a bathroom, totaling about 80 square meters.

In addition to the living room and kitchen, the rest of the room is not large, the master bedroom also has a bed and a wardrobe space, the study can put a desk and a bookcase, although the kitchen is a little larger, but only the stove and storage space are spacious, the small dining room attached to it can only sit three people, the fourth person sits, and there is no place to walk in the room.

However, its living room is spacious enough to hold a party, with a space of more than 40 square meters, a circle of sofas, a large dining table, and enough space for dancing and dancing, and more than enough to entertain seven or eight people for a party. The only regret is that Dr. Zhou has not had time to buy furniture at this time, so the house is full of antiques, although the furniture is neat and tidy, without too much dust, but you can feel a stale smell blowing in your face.

Dr. Chow re-examined the house and weighed whether it could be used for banquets. At this time, An Feng poked his head out of the kitchen and asked, "Who is here?" ”

"Didn't I tell you? Ah, I didn't tell you, but ...... Can't you guess? Dr. Zhou replied restlessly.

"I'm not an immortal", An Feng's little head did not retract.

"We don't know many people", Dr. Zhou explained with hindsight: "At this time, who can come to us and are willing to come to our poor country as a guest, do you guess who will be?" ”

An Feng really lived up to Zhou Tao's expectations, his eyes rolled, and he replied simply: "That female translator." ”

Lan Yu's response sounded outside the door: "Where is this poor country, I really admire the two of you, I just arrived in London and knew that I rented a house alone, that's right, I can save a lot of money by cooking by myself." ”

Dr. Zhou hurriedly greeted Lan Yu, and after the two exchanged regular greetings, Dr. Zhou led Lan Yu around the room.

"The average rent in the UK is £75 a week, how much do you rent for this house?" Lan Yu asked curiously.

Chinese people like to get together, even if they study abroad, they like to be together. Many international students go out to study for four years, but they don't know the world of foreigners outside the university gate, let alone explore such a quiet and secluded alley...... Of course, as more and more Chinese people go overseas, their tentacles will penetrate into all levels of society, and their misunderstanding of the world will be much reduced, but not now.

Before Lan Yu came, Dr. Zhou was worried that the house would not be rented, but An Feng reminded him that compared to the houses near the University District of London, the rent here is really cheap. Although it is far from the university campus, the transportation in London is not a problem, and the London Underground has been connected to the whole of London for a hundred years, so the reason why it is difficult to rent is that international students do not know about this area.

Lan Yu has a close relationship with the International Student Association, and she said that her translation work was recommended by the International Student Association, and if she was asked to introduce it to the international students, then there would be no need to worry about the rental of the house - this is the reason why he suddenly realized it just now.

He was enlightened, but he patronized to greet Lan Yu and did not answer An Feng's question, but An Feng still didn't know who the guest was, until Lan Yu showed up at this moment...... Of course, at this time, he didn't have to answer An Feng.

Lan Yu smiled and beckoned to An Feng in the kitchen, her beckoning action was very distinctive, her five fingers were flicked one by one like playing a piano, this action was full of playfulness, and it made people pay attention to her slender and white five fingers.

To be able to find such a secluded and stylish English alley in just a few days in the UK, and quickly settle down here, Dr. Chow would say that it would not have been possible without pride. Lan Yu's question just gave him a chance to show off, and he led the latter around the room from room to room, so that the other party could have a good look at the layout of the home...... By the way, I do sales for future rental.

When the two walked to the kitchen again, An Feng's cooking was already coming to an end, and Lan Yu saw the little adult standing on the bench to stir-fry vegetables, and it was too late to help. She glared at Dr. Zhou with disgust, and this glance was very charming, which made Dr. Zhou's heart skip a beat. Dr. Zhou, who grew up in a domestic environment, has he ever seen a woman with such a demeanor?

"You, I saw that you were very courageous during the day, and I thought you were a rare man, but I didn't expect you to bear to let a child work so hard, and you can stand it? "Lan Yu...... this is not a blame, this is ...... I can't tell. Her tone was delicate, like a coquette. An Feng's hand on the stove shook and he almost knelt.

Is this Lan Yu's reason or Dr. Zhou's reason? Just slipped down in a circle of houses, and the two of them spoke so unbarrierd?

Dr. Zhou wanted to explain but didn't know where to speak, he wanted to say that this kid can do it better than many adults, and he can't be treated as a child.

After a moment's hesitation, Lan Yu rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to help An Feng serve dishes. When she saw Argyle, who was eating and drinking in the kitchen, she only paused slightly and greeted the other party, but her work did not stop in the slightest.

Today's dishes were hearty, with the main course of pan-fried fish and steak. The small wharf open-air vegetable market is like many British wet markets, the vegetables are processed very cleanly, and you only need to consider the problem of putting the pot when you buy it, so An Feng moves quickly. Dishes include bacon, avocado and cod sticks, salmon sashimi, sardines in tomato sauce, and braised monkfish fillets, a typical Chinese way to eat.

Vegetarian dishes include sour and spicy shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried celery with bell pepper and fish skin, and roasted eggplant with spicy tiger skin...... It's almost all Chinese cuisine.

The four of them shared nine dishes, especially the five meat dishes, all of which were sturdy, large pieces of meat, and the only big man, Argyle, had not even left the kitchen, so he squatted in front of the stove, eating and drinking plate after plate. After Lan Yu took the last finished product in the kitchen, An Feng smiled and waved his hand, and said like an adult: "You two eat first, I won't bother." ”

Lan Yu immediately responded: "How can this be? You've been busy for a long time, how can you not show your face......"

An Feng smiled childishly, he put on a childish temperament, and said in a slightly milky voice: "Adults always have to talk about adult topics when they eat, drink some wine, smoke some cigarettes, and so on...... These, I'm a doll in the inappropriate. Sister Lan, go ahead, I'll accompany my friend in the kitchen-"

An Feng pointed at Argyle.

Lan Yu stared at An Feng again and again, she couldn't figure it out: how could a doll's temperament change so smoothly? Just now, I saw that he was as mature and steady as an adult *person*, with a calmness that saw through the world; Let's see,...... He's really a doll, with a boyish face. No one will admit to it.

Well, a doll with a childish face that says things that are difficult for adults to refuse. Lan Yu thought for a while and asked again, "So many dishes are enough." What else do you have to help with? ”

An Feng tilted his head, with an innocent smile on his face: "I want to eat hot and sour shredded potatoes, I'm going to stir-fry this dish later." ”

"This, I can help", Lan Yu hurriedly confessed.

An Feng tilted her body and asked her to look at the shredded potatoes behind her: "The ingredients have been prepared, just blanch the pot, Sister Lan, you can eat it." ”

Lan Yu only looked at the shredded potatoes, and immediately turned around without saying a word. When she walked out of the kitchen, sat down in her seat, and said to Dr. Zhou with a frustrated face, "This...... The villain next to you is always full of a sense of failure. What a setback......

Miss me...... Forget it, don't talk about me, just talk about him. He's not as tall as the stove, and his cooking is ....... Ahem, just now he let me see the shredded potatoes, the knife work is simply not to say, each shredded potato is even, like a CNC lathe out of the car. How old is he?! Didn't he study before? Doesn't he read? Isn't he playing? You...... Where did you find such a sweet little chef? ”

Dr. Zhou is now grasping all the gaps in his studies, and now he has a medical journal in his hand, sitting on the sofa and flipping through it. Hearing Lan Yu's frustration, he empathized with him, and replied sympatheticly: "Yes, I have been with him for a long time, and I feel that my life is ......, and it is simply full of failures." Ha, his father is not a cook, and neither is his mother, Sister Huang never told you? ”

"Sister Huang you are talking about, is it Huang Yaqing? Tell you, I have nothing to do with her, our family is a common people, but because the home is in the former ten-mile foreign field, so I know the outside world early, my first year tuition was borrowed by my parents, I only started working part-time here, I worked three jobs in my spare time, not only to earn my own tuition, but also to help my parents pay off their debts.

There are a lot of classmates like me in college who have parents borrowed money to make up for the first year's tuition and then find their way on their own. I helped Huang Yaqing carry her bag, which was introduced by the president of the student union, and this is just a job. Huang Yaqing won't communicate anything with me, and I won't confide in her......"

"He's an extraordinary child," Dr. Chow said softly, "but he doesn't want to be overly noticed." You can treat him as an adult and don't always think of him as a child. Look at me......"

Dr. Zhou raised the medical journal in his hand: "His memory is very good, I can say that I will never forget it, I have been destroyed by him and dare not slack off." Alas, there are such smart people in the world, it really makes people silent and crying...... He's only eight years old now, and when he grows up, how are we all going to live? ”

Lan Yu chuckled: "Fortunately, he is only eight years old, so we don't have to compete with him in the same era...... You know, I've worked all over the place, I've done a lot of jobs, I've done dishes and dishes, and I've worked as a waiter in restaurants. It is said that sour and spicy shredded potatoes are a compulsory dish for the chef's level exam, but I just glanced at the shredded potatoes he cut, and it was no problem to make a white case with this knife work. He's going to work in a restaurant, and I'm afraid the boss can't open his eyes with a smile.

Wait a minute, wait until I've tasted the dishes, and then give him a final evaluation......"

Dr. Zhou smiled: "No need to evaluate, I'm afraid he can't look down on the little money that the restaurant earns." ”

If you knew he was about to make a million...... U.S. dollars, I'm afraid my eyes are going to pop out.

"Of course", Lan Yu responded as a matter of course: "Smart people use their brains to make money, and we stupid people have to use our physical strength." ”

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and the conversation in the living room was still going on, and the living room was chattering and gobbling in the dining room. Soon, the two villains in the kitchen had eaten and drunk enough, and An Feng beckoned to Argyle: "Agay, let them talk to me and me, let's go to the snow to have a good time, and then go back to the hotel to sleep." ”

At this moment, the wine in the restaurant was half-drunk, Lan Yu giggled, slightly drunk, and chattered about his family affairs: "...... The next year I knew, and I signed up for five clubs in one go, and I didn't miss out on every activity in each club - to tell you, this is the trick. When hiring people in large foreign companies, it is not based on whether your grades are among the best, but whether you are 'social' and 'actively involved'.

…… The most reliable thing is to organize a club by yourself, as long as you have your own club, even if it is just a Peking Opera club, foreigners will think that you have 'leadership skills' and that you will definitely be an outstanding talent in the future......"

An Feng stopped at the door, paused for a moment, and only listened to Lan Yu continue: "I plan to form my own club next year, pull up a few irons, find a few classic Peking Opera movies, and let my family collect some Peking Opera costumes." As long as I can get together enough 30 people, the club can be registered in the school, and if there are enough 100 people, I can apply for the ** activity room, and then I will have my own territory......

…… My parents often talked to me on the phone: you will go back to your hometown after graduation, we will help you find a job, find a good man to marry, and we will be at ease from then on. But...... Isn't everyone born to see the world? If we all become pigs, sheep, cows, and horses in captivity, and are born to wait for death to come, I would rather never be born. Love is tolerance, not imprisonment. To live is to see, not to live.

…… Do you know that the 'World Leaders Talent Carnival' will be? I have a roommate, a foreigner, who is very good, and was invited to the carnival last year. It is said that the carnival will not accept applications, and they will send out invitations to selected people on the condition that you have a club of your own, and then they will spend a year examining your three basic strengths: impeccable manners, great curiosity, and the courage to innovate......"

Dr. Zhou listened carefully, and only occasionally interjected a few words of approval. With a pious attitude, he almost took out his small notebook and wrote hard. This serious appearance attracted more hearty Lan Yu's words. An Feng paid attention to it and found that Dr. Zhou had drunk a lot, and his body had begun to shake slightly, while Lan Yu, the woman seemed to be drinking more and more eloquent, and her eyes were brighter.

At this time, I'm afraid that any reminders won't work, and at this time, the two have "drunk and confidant, but hated less wine". So An Feng went to the foyer to get the hotel key without caring about anything, and turned around and greeted: "Doctor Zhou, Sister Lan, I'll go to the hotel to sleep." ”

Dr. Zhou snorted in his nose, and he didn't know if he heard the greeting. Lan Yu basically didn't pay attention to An Feng's greeting......
