Chapter 144: Yours Tastes Better
After eating, Guo Xiang was sleepy, so he washed his face and feet casually and nested on the kang.
The two of them leaned on the kang qin to read a book together, and when they looked at Guo Xiang, their head tilted to Gu Zhennan's shoulder and fell asleep.
Gu Zhennan looked sideways at his little daughter-in-law, remembering the first time they met on the train, they didn't know her at that time, and she also leaned on her shoulder like this, and now she thinks that the two are really fateful.
Gu Zhennan gently took away the book in Guo Xiang's hand, hugged her, and whispered, "Daughter-in-law, go into the bed and sleep." ”
Guo Xiang snorted lightly, Gu Zhennan hooked the corners of his mouth, kissed her on the face, and slowly put her into the quilt.
I continued to read the book by myself, watching my daughter-in-law sleeping next to me, and hearing her even breathing, my heart was very peaceful.
It's good to live like this, and it's good to be like this for the rest of your life.
When Guo Xiang woke up, there was no one in the house, and he wanted to come to Gu Zhennan to go to work.
Stretched, this sleep was too comfortable.
After more than 20 days of traveling, either in a hotel or on the train, I really didn't get a good night's sleep.
Or comfortable at home.
Guo Xiang got up to wash, and when he saw that breakfast was warm in the pot, his heart was very sweet.
After breakfast, Guo Xiang thought about going to the city to buy books for the college entrance examination, and by the way, he went to see Emma, and gave her some special products brought back from Quanshi and southern Yunnan.
In the past, I always received her things, and I had to give her back, and the gifts were still exchanged.
In the past few days in Quanshi, Guo Xiang went shopping and brought Emma back a very famous local lacquer line carving.
It is a lacquer plate with a dragon pattern, and it looks good as an ornament.
Europeans have always had a habit of using plates as a decoration, and Emma would have liked it.
Put on the white down jacket and the red scarf she gave Emma, take the souvenir and transfer to the city.
Directly to their company's office in Taiqing.
I was very surprised to see Guo Xiang Emma.
"Honey, do you know what day it is?" Emma said.
Guo Xiang shook his head, it won't be Emma's birthday, right?
"It's Christmas!" Emma said happily.
Guo Xiang remembered that today is December 25th, and at this time, people in China have not yet had the habit of celebrating Christmas, so Guo Xiang did not expect it at all.
Christmas is similar to the Chinese New Year for foreigners, and Emma doesn't have any friends in China, so it's a surprise to see Guo Xiang coming.
It's really crooked.
Guo Xiang smiled and took out the gift from his bag, "Merry Christmas, Emma!" ”
In addition to the two packs of food, Guo Xiang took out the box of lacquer carvings and coffee beans bought from southern Yunnan.
"Can I take it apart?" Emma was very curious to see how beautiful the lacquered box was.
"Absolutely!" Guo Xiang nodded.
As soon as the box was opened, a black dragon plate carved with gold lacquer thread appeared in front of him.
"Wow, that's beautiful!" Emma was amazed and touched it with her hands, the lacquer line carving was three-dimensional, and it was very textured to the touch, and the dragon was also carved lifelike.
"It's made by hand, and it's a specialty of a place called Quanshi in the south." Guo Xiang said with a smile.
"It's amazing, it's so realistic!" Emma couldn't put it down, took out the tray in the box, and placed the lacquer plate on the cabinet in the living room.
"It's so beautiful, it's so Chinese!" Emma was very appreciative.
"And this!" Guo Xiang took out the can of coffee beans, "Actually, we also have some places where coffee beans are produced, but coffee drinking has not yet become popular." ”
"These coffee beans were planted in a beautiful mountain in southern Yunnan, and it is said that the coffee bean seeds were brought from France by a French missionary in the 19th century, and later took root in China."
"This coffee is a small grain coffee, and the flavor is a little different, you can try it!" Guo Xiang said.
"Okay, I'm going to cook it and taste it." Emma smiled and took the coffee beans and put them in the coffee machine.
Her coffee machine is fully automatic, and the coffee beans can be brewed by automatic grinding.
In the case of a semi-automatic coffee machine, it is necessary to grind it into powder with a separate grinder or by hand before putting it into the coffee machine to brew.
Guo Xiang was very envious when he saw it, there were no coffee machines sold in China at all during this period, and Emma must have brought it back from abroad.
In his previous life, Guo Xiang was also used to drinking coffee, and he didn't have much chance to drink it in this life, so it seems that if he has the opportunity to go abroad or import machines in the future, he will have to buy a coffee machine back.
The two chatted, and it happened to be Christmas Emma warmly invited Guo Xiang to eat Chinese food here, and Guo Xiang did not refuse.
I called Gu Zhennan and told him that he would only go home this afternoon, and asked him not to wait for him to eat at noon.
Gu Zhennan is now working at the headquarters, so he can go home for dinner at noon.
After a few minutes, the aroma of coffee was heard.
Emma came over with a little coffee that didn't add anything, and the two of them tasted it.
This Yunnan small grain coffee has a strong but not bitter taste, fragrant but not strong, slightly fruity, and very special.
"Not bad!" Emma raised her eyebrows and nodded.
After that, milk and sugar were added, and she didn't like to drink clear coffee.
At noon, Guo Xiang ate steak at Emma's house, there was really no way to buy turkey in China, so Emma fried steak and ate it, accompanied by wine and pasta, and several people ate very happily.
Guo Xiang is eating steak for the first time in his life, and it has been a long time.
In fact, you can also fry steak yourself, there is still beef in the market, and you can make steak by buying a good beef tenderloin, and it seems that you can also go back and try it.
After lunch, Guo Xiang thanked Emma for her hospitality, and then took his leave.
I went to the bookstore to buy books for the college entrance examination, and found that there were no textbooks for sale, only exercises.
After inquiring with the clerk, Guo Xiang bought a few sets of exercises, and then found a used bookstore to buy a set of textbooks for the third year of high school.
The two of them can use one set, Guo Xiang was a scholar in his previous life and had a good memory, just look at it and you can know what the college entrance examination is at this time.
Do another exercise and it should be about the same.
The main thing is that Gu Zhennan wants to use it, but she thinks that Gu Zhennan is so smart and so hardworking, there should be no problem.
Guo Xiang went to the market to take a look by the way, and sure enough, there was beef for sale, and there was a lot of it.
Only then did I remember that Taiqing was originally a plain area, with many pastures, beef must be indispensable, and milk.
Guo Xiang bought a large piece of beef and some fruits, and now that he has money, his quality of life will naturally improve.
When you go home, you can fry the steak and eat it, Guo Xiang is happy in his heart.
When Gu Zhennan arrived home, he saw his little daughter-in-law sitting on the kang and nibbling on apples while flipping through a book.
"Coming back?" Guo Xiang saw Gu Zhennan, got up and got off the kang, "Do you want to eat apples?" ”
"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded, grabbed her hand and bit it where she had bitten it.
Guo Xiang's face turned red, "You won't take one yourself?" ”
"Yours is tastier." Gu Zhennan said seriously.
Guo Xiang rolled his eyes and ignored him.
