When Hoggist saw the strange food on the table, his heart was broken. With a sad face, he asked, "What is this?" The smell is simply amazing! ”

Qiu Jingli was not happy when she heard this: "Didn't you say that what I made was delicious?" Why are you disgusted now? Don't you love me anymore? ”

"No, no, how could I not love you? But these dishes taste weird, some of them look like toilets, and some of them look like garbage dumps. Hoggist hurriedly argued.

"If you don't like it smelling bad, leave, don't come again!" Qiu Jingli puffed up a bowl of bean juice and drank it by herself.

"Don't drink ......" Haugist had no time to stop him, and watched Qiu Jingli pick up the bowl of drink that 'tasted like a garbage dump' and drank it.

"It's enjoyable, what I do is quite authentic, it's rare to drink such authentic bean juice on the other side of the ocean, I have to drink another bowl." Qiu Jingli drank it in one go, and still couldn't get enough, so she went to the kitchen to fill a bowl.

"You taste this belly burst first, this won't taste good when it's cold." Qiu Jingli grabbed a chopstick, dipped her belly in sesame sauce, and fed it to Haojist's mouth.

"...................................." Haugist hesitated for a moment, but finally ate it in his mouth. He regretted it when he ate it, not because it was not delicious, but because he regretted that he hesitated for so long before he couldn't eat such a delicious taste for the first time, the belly collar was fresh, crispy, tender, refreshing, and the sesame sauce and coriander had a unique aroma, and the mixed taste was really refreshing.

Hogist picked up the chopsticks, swept the clouds, snorted and quickly ate a small plate of belly, it was not enough, and complained: "My good Li'er, why do you only make so little of this dish?" ”

"Hehe, now I know it's delicious! This belly has to be eaten freshly, and the taste will deteriorate when it is cooled. I'll give you another one, and you can try the rest first. Qiu Jingli went to the kitchen with empty plates.

Hougist picked up a bowl of fried liver, looked at this snot-like food, and felt nauseous, but among these foods, it was the most fragrant, after thinking about it, he still scooped a spoonful and sent it into his mouth, the fried liver was full of garlic in his mouth, and the taste was wonderful beyond words, Hoggist found that he couldn't stop at all, and he instantly killed a bowl of snort.

Qiu Jingli came out of the kitchen with a freshly popped belly, and Haojister had just finished eating fried liver and put down the bowl.

"Yo he, I've finished eating the fried liver, doesn't it mean that it doesn't smell good?" Qiu Jingli laughed.

"I didn't expect the snacks in Beijing to smell strange, but they are so fragrant when eaten!" After Haugist finished speaking, he continued to eat with a belly.

"After eating, try to boil and burn, the taste is even stronger!"

Hoggist quickly solved the second plate of belly bursts, and shifted the focus of his work to the boiling. It's this Chinese dish that makes Hoggist vaguely feel like it smells like a toilet. I mustered up the courage to pick up a piece of fire and tasted it, the fire absorbed the soup, the taste was salty and fragrant, the taste was tough but not sticky, and then I picked up a piece of large intestine that exuded the "toilet taste", the taste was heavy, the taste was rotten but not bad, it was really a delicacy.

"I didn't expect it, it's all delicious, but the taste is relatively heavy," Haugist commented.

"It's okay, there's something good here! I'm tired of eating cabbage. "Qiu Jingli invites Hogist to taste the mustard mound.

Without hesitation, Hougist picked up a piece of cabbage covered in mustard paste and threw it directly into his mouth. In an instant, I only felt that there was a lightning bolt from my mouth directly to the back of my head, my brain was ethereal, and snot and tears flowed all over my face unconsciously.

"What kind of cabbage is this, why is it so choked? Li'er, you deliberately manipulated me, right? Hoggist slowed down for a long time before he could barely speak.

"This dish is called mustard, isn't it particularly transparent after eating, and it's not tired at all, right?" Qiu Jingli covered her mouth and smiled.

"It's really greasy, but it's too rushed, I have to drink saliva slowly." Hougist said, picking up the bean juice and pouring it down. The dishes that smelled bad just now were delicious, and Qiu Jingli had drunk two bowls in a row just now, so Hoggist did not doubt him, and he drank it boldly and boldly.

But as soon as the bean juice was swallowed, Haojist really regretted it, this drink was extremely sour, as rancid as swill, and it was impossible to swallow, if it weren't for Qiu Jingli sitting opposite and smiling at him, he would have squirted out all the bean juice. Swallowing this large mouthful of bean juice with force, Haugist's facial features were almost screwed together.

"How is this bean juice rancid? Did you finish it and didn't put it in the fridge? After asking, Hogist took a few more bites of stewed stew to suppress the nausea.

"What do you know, bean juice is made by fermentation of bean dregs, this is the taste, bean juice nourishes the stomach, detoxifies and clears the fire, but it is a good thing! Come, Helian obediently, listen to my sister, and dry this bowl of bean juice. Qiu Jingli picked up the bean juice and handed it to Hogist.

Haojist's face was embarrassed, Qiu Jingli thought for a while and then said: "You exercise so much every day, you will eat a lot of meat to maintain your protein intake, and it is easy to get angry. ”

"Ahh Don't, right? "Haugist's face was like ashes.

"Don't be afraid, the more you drink this thing, the more addictive it becomes, the first time I drank it, I threw the bowl directly on the wall of the restaurant, and when I went home, I was beaten by my father! The second time I drank it, I could drink a bowl, and then I became more and more fond of drinking, so I was so beautiful! Qiu Jingli said narcissistically. Before I went abroad, I had to drink two bowls every morning. I came to the United States and couldn't drink for many months, I used to live alone and was too lazy to get these, but now I have gradually researched it in order to cook the motherland food for you, and now both of us have a good mouth. ”

"Hmm...... Well, I'll try again. Hearing that Qiu Jingli blew the bean juice to a great extent, Haugist decided to try it again. He took a sip from the bowl and found that the taste was not so unacceptable, so he took a few more sips, feeling that it was indeed quite comfortable in his stomach. Before he knew it, he drank a bowl of bean juice.

"How? Didn't lie to you, did you? Do you still want to drink a bowl? ”

"Don't worry, let's wait until I'm done eating the stew before drinking." Haugist is not yet at the level where he can drink two bowls in a row.

The two talked and laughed, this meal was eaten for more than two hours, after eating and drinking, the two were like a tacit couple, Haojist cleaned up the mess, and Qiu Jingli made tea in the living room.

Hogist quickly cleaned up and returned to the living room, the two drank tea for a while, Hoggist lay lazily on the sofa, and Qiu Jingli nested comfortably in Hoggist's arms. This is the most intimate moment between the two of them so far, and what the two enjoy the most is the intimate time on the couch after each meal.

"Next is the semi-finals and finals of the State League Champions Cup, you have to prepare well!" Qiu Jingli is like a virtuous wife, and she earnestly instructs.

"Don't worry, only Clark High School and Lighthouse Academy in Nevada can fight hard with us, Clark High School is in the bottom half, and it is possible to meet only if you reach the finals, and Lighthouse Academy has not made it to the semifinals at all, so the next game is not difficult, don't worry!" Hogist was unimpressed.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, don't be careless, be careful of capsizing in the gutter." Qiu Jingli patiently advised.

"Okay, I promise to train hard, play hard, and do my best to shock the world with five doubles in the semifinals?"

"Remember to drink bean juice seriously!" Qiu Jingli added.

Happy times are always short-lived, and the two chatted and chatted before they knew it was evening, and after saying goodbye to Haojist and Qiu Jingli, they got on the bus home.

……

It's fast approaching the weekend, the last game before Christmas, and there will be no more matches this year after the semi-finals, with the finals scheduled for the first weekend of January.

The opponent in the semifinals was Austin College, which was originally an inconspicuous school, but this semester transferred to a school named Joseph. Young's 11th grader, who is 6'2" tall and plays as a small forward, led the team to a thriving game, leading the team to the Final Four with 6 wins in 8 games.

In the dressing room before the game, everyone discussed tactical issues on the field. In order to exercise Hoggist's overall view, now Coach Dick directly asks Hoggist to arrange tactics before the game, and he will make up for it if he feels that it is insufficient.

"It's still up to me to defend the opponent's arrowheads, Justin, you play the No. 2 position." Hougist sets up defensive counterparts.

"Our team's defense is really simple, if the opponent's strong point is the outside player, the direct Hougist main defense, and if the opponent's strong point is the inside player, the outside player is responsible for the defense or 2-3 joint defense to strengthen the inside defense." Harris thinks that's what he has done defensively after so many games.

"That's not because Hoggist has a strong single defensive ability and can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position, and the same defensive effect can indeed be achieved by establishing a complex defensive system, but since we have a player like Haugist, why do we need to simplify it?" Justin sees things through.

"In fact, our defense is not bad, at least the single defense of ordinary players can be defended, not to be a step, the speed of rotation is also fast, not to often leak people, the four of us are the balance of attack and defense without flaws, plus the single defense ability is very strong Haugist, how the defense is above the average, not to mention that we are not a defensive team, but a team that has always been known for its sharp attack. So there's no need to dwell on the fact that our defensive tactics aren't big enough. Joseph added.

"Yes, we can defend against normal teams; Unstoppable team, hey! We scored more points than them! Hahaha," Randolph smirked.

"Okay, let's discuss tactics, and the more we talk, the more off-topic we get." Coach Dick stopped their flattery just in time.

"Okay, let's play, just play like this, win the semi-finals and we'll have a happy Christmas!" Hogist concluded.

Before the game, Cimaron Memorial Middle School was a happy and peaceful scene for both the team and the fans, but when the fight really started, everyone found that they were optimistic too early.

This transferred to Joseph. Yang does have two brushes, and even Hoggist is very difficult to defend. But that's not the key, the key is the strange lineup configuration of Austin Academy, except for small forward Joseph. In addition to Yang, point guard Allen, "scoring" guard Blair, power forward Porter, and center Kim Zhu Rong are all players with about zero offensive ability but super defensive ability. On the offensive end, Austin left Joseph to the side. Yang showed his strength, Yang's height and arm span were already higher than that of Hougist, and his offensive ability was even stronger than Hougist, which made Hoggist consume a lot of physical strength on the defensive end. On the offensive end, Austin did not let Young defend Hougist, but let Blair specifically defend Hougist. Yang is already strong in attack and weak in defense, saving physical strength on the defensive end, and even more unscrupulous on the offensive end.

At halftime, the Spartans were down 42-49, and Hoggist was sweating as if he had just climbed up from the river. In the first half, he was greatly limited on both offensive and defensive ends, and his defensive Young scored 40 points alone, which is even expected to break the record of 83 points just set by Hoggist, and when the whole team is blocked on the offensive end, he can only hope for Hoggist, but Hoggist only hit 7 of 19 shots under Blair's kraft-like defense, and he scored a total of 25 points with free throws.

Hougist was almost helped back to the locker room by Joseph and Justin, slumped on the bench like a puddle of mud.

"Come on, bananas, Gatorade, energy bars, you eat and drink to replenish your strength, and in the second half you don't guard against Joseph. Yang, you save your stamina and attack with all your might! Let's change the lineup of one big and four small, Harris you come down to rest, Hougist you play the No. 4 position, Blanton you go on the court to play the No. 2 position, Justin you go back to the small forward position and defend Joseph with all your might. Yang!" Coach Dick rearranged the tactics.
