Chapter 357: Christmas Dinner
After the weighing ceremony, Xiang Yingying and Tang Mu said hello to them and returned to the hotel. After a while, Qu Zimo took Xiang Wenjun, Wang Lulu, and Xibei to the hotel as invited.
As soon as Shibel saw Xiang Yingying, he ran over with a smile, hugged Xiang Yingying's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother! It's Christmas Eve, are you going to hang out with us? ”
Xiang Yingying was stunned when he heard this, and found that Xibei's eyes were full of teasing, so he laughed and scratched Xibeier's nose: "I know that this is impossible, and you still have to come to make fun of my brother." You've been having a good time these days, right? Leave me here alone to prepare for the battle, and you didn't say anything about coming to accompany me. ”
Hibel smiled when she heard this, they had a great time in the past few days when they arrived in London, just like Xiang Ying said!
"Why, envy!" Hibel tilted her little head and said very proudly.
"Envy! Envy! After Xiang Yingying echoed with a smile, he turned his gaze to Qu Zimo's body, and shouted with a smile, "Senior sister!" ”
"How's your recovery?" Qu Zimo said with concern.
"It's not bad, it's more than 7 hours more, and I feel like I can basically recover completely before the game." Xiang Yingying said.
"It's good to be fully recovered, you can rest well! Do you have anything to do with us? Qu Zimo asked with a smile.
"I'm going to treat you to Christmas dinner in the evening!" Xiang Yingying said with a grin.
"You're going to treat us to Christmas dinner?" Qu Zimo asked in surprise,
Xibeier also asked excitedly, "Brother! Did you really prepare a Christmas dinner for us? ”
Xiang Yingying nodded with a smile and said, "Christmas is a Western holiday, and Coach Luo An and Emily can't reunite with their families for my preparation this time, so I specially customized this grand meal in advance, and everyone is happy!" Later, Brother Tang and Coach Liu of the Sanda team will also come. ”
"Brother! Where do we eat? Having lived in the United States for more than 10 years, Hibel still takes Christmas dinner seriously.
"Right at the hotel, I ordered two large tables of sumptuous Christmas dinner, and you can eat more in the evening." Xiang Yingying said.
……
At 7 p.m., all the guests arrived on time for the dining spot in the restaurant on the second floor of the Wembley Hotel by Hilton.
This is a very large cubicle, with a large rectangular table in the center of a number of Western dining tables, and the dark green tablecloth is HEPP high-end Western food imported from Germany, as well as Riedel crystal wine glasses from Austria.
Seeing all this, they didn't feel anything, but Emily, who had a good family, had a good family, and said to Xiang Hero with a smile: "Hero! It took a lot of thought to eat this meal! ”
Xiang Yingying smiled when he heard this: "Where is this, your surprises are still to come, what I invite you to eat today is the most authentic British Christmas dinner." ”
Hearing this, Tang Mu whispered in Liu Qinglin's ear and translated it again. "Haha! Today, thanks to the hero's blessing, we old hats have also celebrated the Ocean Festival and eaten the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of foreigners! Liu Qinglin said happily in Chinese.
Seeing this, Xiang Yingying also laughed, and said to Liu Qinglin: "Coach Liu will eat more later, and some of the foreigner's dishes are still okay, but I don't have this mouthful, I can't eat a lot of things today!" ”
"You know! I thought you forgot! The song gave Xiang Hero a blank look.
"Don't worry! Senior sister, I haven't forgotten, I'm happy when you eat well. After Xiang Yingying finished speaking, he informed the waiter to serve the food.
In a short time, what smoked salmon with avocado, cheese and cucumber, chedder cheese, boiled Brussels sprouts with coriander, chocolate, potato chips, biscuits, cakes, dried fruits, fruit tart, red wine, spiced mulled ine, and Christmas pudding characteristic of Christmas, traditional British sweets - Triffle and Mince pies (meat pies) and cranberry sauce cranberry sauce, gravy gravy, bread Some delicious sauces like sauce bread sauce.
Of course, Christmas dinner is a huge roast turkey. When the meal was ready, the waiter gave everyone a Christmas cracker and left the cubicle.
"Even this thing is ready, brother! You're awesome. Hibel shouted excitedly when she saw the Christmas cracker, and then commanded everyone, each of them pinched the end of a Christmas cracker with one hand, and shouted: "1, 2, 3, pull!" ”
As soon as the three voices fell, everyone pulled at the same time, accompanied by a continuous "bang! Bang! Bang! Each Christmas cracker drops out a small gift. Although the gift was not too expensive, it made everyone very happy, and even Coach Harris, who usually doesn't like to laugh, was full of smiles.
The rest was simple, as everyone sat around the rectangular table and enjoyed the sumptuous Christmas meal, while Xiang Yingying ate salmon with avocado, cheese and cucumber, chedder cheese, boiled Brussels sprouts with coriander, etc., which Emily allowed him to eat.
Everyone chatted while eating, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and Xiang Yingying quickly put down the tableware in his hand, because he couldn't eat more at night, otherwise the burden on his body would become greater, and he might feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that Xiang Yingying could still control his diet so strictly on this occasion, Liu Qinglin had to sigh that Xiang Yingxing's success was no accident, just talking about this diet control, which was incomparable to the vast majority of domestic athletes.
Due to the differences in food culture, weight control and diet are the most difficult difficulties for Chinese athletes to overcome.
Halfway through the meal, Xiang Wenjun asked with a smile: "Brother! I've heard that the combined "footprint" of food and condiments for a complete Christmas dinner can reach more than 400,000 kilometers and circle the globe 10 times. ”
Liu Qinglin and the others were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Xiang Yingying in surprise. Seeing this, Xiang Hero nodded with a smile and said, "Foreigners say that we Chinese are particular about eating, and I don't think they are much worse." ”
After Xiang Yingying finished speaking, he pointed to the roast turkey with only some residues left, and continued: "For example, this turkey was transported from Brazil, which is more than 8,000 kilometers away. There are also these carrots, which are also shipped from South Africa, which is more than 8,000 kilometers away, and even these green beans are transported from Egypt, which is more than 3,000 kilometers away. ”
With Xiang Yingying's introduction, Liu Qinglin and Xiang Wenjun were speechless, and they were in a daze when they saw these things.
Wang Lulu also stuck out her tongue and said: "These British people are really extravagant, and if they are shipped from so far away, the price must at least be doubled, right?" ”
Xiang Yingying smiled when he heard this, and said: "Once a year, it is normal to be extravagant, and even these restaurant papers and Christmas color strips are shipped from our China. ”
At this time, a few reporters suddenly ran in from outside, holding cameras and shooting at Xiang Yingying......
