Chapter 25 Refusal of Chinese Food

In an embarrassing atmosphere, Qi Xiao took the puppy from Zhao Qianyu's hand, checked it in his hand, and asked: "This dog has been raised, stewed or fried?"

Suddenly, a series of knife-like eyes looked at him with contempt.

“…… When I didn't say anything. Qi Xiao swallowed and foamed, obviously, even the transcendent couldn't resist the murderous aura of the fanatical dog fan.

"Hey!" Rhaegar broke the silence again, he stepped forward and kicked the tires of the new car, looking at the brand new mini sedan full of personal color and super stylish appearance: "The car is good, how much did you buy it?" Aren't you quite rich, why don't you buy a bigger car? ”

Jacques and Qi Xiao on the side glanced at each other, and there was a little disbelief in their eyes, Rhaegar had absolutely no idea about Ian's financial situation before yesterday, and he didn't even know who he was, but now he was able to speak out and say his ** to his face.

This is the Americans! Cheerful, confident, somewhat careless, rough-headed, and fearless.

Powerful doesn't even need to pay attention to how to do things...... Just use the information the FBI told him.

"Uh, that's not what I bought......" Ian hesitated for a moment before he said with some embarrassment, "I don't usually rely too much on vehicles......"

"Yes, you can teleport, and you can use magic wherever you want." Jacques said.

"Yes, but this afternoon, I received an invitation from Qi Xiao, it would be quite rude not to drive a car to the party, and then I found out that the points of my Amex credit card can be redeemed for this car." Ian smiled and said lightly.

As a poor ghost, Jacques Dorian, after calculating how many points he needed to redeem a car, suddenly felt that the conversation with Ian could not continue.

He only remembers that when he was at his most extravagant, he seemed to spend 60,000 or 70,000 yuan to exchange the credit card points he earned for an electric toothbrush......

When Qi Xiao heard this, he was also a little uneasy. He glanced at Ian: "No wonder you don't care about the UN's honorarium at all, if you can't spend all your money, use me to help?" ”

"It's not going to work." Ian smiled softly.

As the group walked to the table, Rhaegar apparently didn't have much of a concept of money, unaware of how much money Ian had spent on just a few days in the United States.

He opened the pumpkin pie package with great interest, and said with a smile: "You guys come and try my aunt's craft, to be honest, I've been out of Tennessee for a long time, and I think back then, my aunt was our master of pie there." ”

"You know what? My aunt participated in a Tennessee cooking contest that year, and my aunt's cheese pumpkin pie and smoked barbecue pork chops shocked almost everyone in the room, and the gravy she concocted, known as Tennessee minced meat juice, was smuggled out of the state and even illegal! ”

"But you know what? She didn't win that tournament? Rhaegar looked up and winked mischievously at the crowd.

It can be seen that he has put a lot of thought into preparing this family joke of "aunt's story", but his enthusiasm for family and pumpkin pie is obviously not fake.

"Why?" Jacques asked.

"Because the referee was the mayor of Nashville, he had to award the first prize to the wife of one of his patrons for political reasons." Rhaegar tilted his head slightly regretfully, and then he raised his voice, "But ......"

Everyone present is familiar with this rhythm of storytelling, which, after a regrettable prelude, is bound to be reversed with a "but......".

Everyone collectively cooperated with Rhaeggar, and with his tone, they raised their heads together, and crossed their heads in an arc, revealing a uniform expression of surprise: "Oh? ”

"But ......," Rhaegar did not expect the story he was telling to be so compelling, and was a little nervous, "but the young Mr. Mayor soon regretted it, and although he had only eaten the food made by my aunt once, he kept thinking about it and chattering about it. Finally...... One afternoon, he couldn't take it anymore and drove himself to my house to buy flowers, and at the risk of being beaten to death by my father, apologized to my aunt and proposed to her......"

Rhaegar finished the story with a smile, and the scene was silent, except for Jacques who tried to pick off a small piece of pumpkin pie, stuffed it into his mouth, and asked calmly, "Later, was he killed by your father?" ”

"No, he's my uncle!"

"Oh!" Everyone applauded the story of the outcome long ago.

"A tribute to my aunt's romantic story."

"Hats off to pumpkin pie."

Rhaegar smiled and stepped forward and picked up the knife: "There are six of us, and there is a late lady who can divide the pie into seven equal parts......"

He took the knife and made a few gestures: "This is a 360-degree circle, divided into seven parts, divided into seven parts......"

The corners of his eyes twitched for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how to cut the knife, and in the end, he finally threw down the knife and said with a self-deprecating smile: "It's not important, you can cut it as you like." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Rhaegar was a little embarrassed and said, "Math is not my forte. ”

Jacques nodded with a sense of emotion: "Most Americans are not strong in mathematics......

Qi Xiao shook his head and said: "No, the mistake is that 360 divided by 7 is not an integer, if it is 6, it will be much easier for Rhaegar." ”

Lega said happily: "Yes, that's right. ”

Zhao Qianyu and Wang Zhe on the side shook their heads secretly with a wry smile: "I really don't know how these people buy vegetables." ”

Qi Xiao picked up the knife and was about to cut the pumpkin pie and start a happy meal, but he suddenly didn't say a word, and quickly left the table, everyone looked in his direction, and they all got up and walked towards the door.

Alina has arrived.

Alina's hair seemed to have just been washed, fluffy and loose behind her back, tied with only a headband, exuding a charming luster, and she wore a long sky blue dress, casual and elegant, not too grand and general.

She held a small cloth bag in her hand and handed it to Qi Xiao: "This is a cookie I made myself." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late because baking takes time."

Qi Xiao snatched the cloth bag that didn't seem to hold a few biscuits: "It's not too late, it's not too late, everyone is waiting for you, I'm very happy that you can come today." ”

Qi Xiao greeted Alina, and Alina asked as she walked, "Have you started?" I'm a little hungry. ”

Qi Xiao couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that this girl who dressed up casually and was dressed up like a fine porcelain doll was so casual and unpolite.

Everyone saw Alina in a long skirt walking towards them, and they all exclaimed "oh" together.

"Oh my God, you look like a goddess." Ian genuinely admired.

"Thank you." Alina tilted her head, glanced at Jacques, and grinned.

"Oh my God, if you look at her more, I think my eyes hurt." Jacques covered his eyes, but he still looked at Alina between his fingers.

The group went to the table, Zhao Qianyu and Wang Zhe put one dish after another on the table, Rega looked at the colorful dishes on the table, frowned and said: "The style is not the same...... what are these, can't you make some things that are found in Chinese restaurants?" For example, Hunan beef and empty cannon chicken, crab wonton, Li Hongzhang offal, Zuo Zongtang chicken. ”

Qi Xiao said with a smile: "The status of the so-called Chinese food you said in China's food industry can be described in one word......

He raised a finger and said firmly: "They all belong to overseas ** forces, and there is no room for these dishes in China." ”

Jacques is not a fan of Chinese food, he saw the dishes on the table, so he took the initiative to enthusiastically start to introduce: "This is grilled oysters, this is salt-baked shrimp, this is steamed snow crab, this is sweet and sour fish, spicy wing root, hairy blood, onion rings, scallops...... Come and try this, this one won't taste good when it's cold. ”

As he introduced, he himself had already started, and the others were not polite, they all picked up knives, forks and chopsticks, and looked for the food they wanted to eat.

Rhaegar approached a dish in front of him and sniffed it: "Oh my God, what does this smell like, Qi Xiao, are you giving us grass?" ”

"Ahem, believe me, that's a leek, a type of green onion. It's delicious, and it has a very special effect, uh...... Good for your intestines. Qi Xiao saw Rhaegar who was almost instantly furious, and hurriedly replied.

Jacques turned his head mysteriously, grinned at Wren, revealed the leeks between his teeth, and whispered, "Aphrodisiac." ”

"Oh, thank you, but I'm not going to try......" replied the American, shaking his head as politely as possible. Have you ever eaten Chinese food before? In Tennessee? Qi Xiao asked.

Of course, as the American spoke, he picked up a dumpling with a fork, carefully chopped it with a knife and fork, and put one of the forks into his mouth, his face softened a little, and he nodded elegantly at Qi Xiao: "This is good." ”

Looking at Qi Xiao's monster-like eyes, Rhaegar lowered his head a little weakly......

Jacques on the side hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and pointed to the dish in front of him, and asked, "Do you eat bitter gourd?" ”

"Thanks, I won't eat it."

"Turnips?"

"Don't eat it."

"Red Lotus?"

"Don't eat"

"Rape head?"

"Don't eat"

"Celery?"

"Don't eat"

"You don't eat anything, you're a picky eater......"

"Huh? I'm not a picky eater! I eat all kinds of meat! The American said honestly.

Jacques laughed, "I've heard a joke about Tennessee, the three major specialties of Tennessee, burgers, cheeseburgers, and double cheeseburgers. ”

The American nodded: "We're not big cities like New York, Chicago, or Atlanta, so we eat conservatively." That's our tradition too. So I guess my stomach has a hard time accepting things that look weird. ”

For example...... These. He looked at the dazzling but "bizarre" food on the table in front of him.

Jacques looked at Ian with a smile and asked, "What about you guys, what do you like to eat in the country, let me guess, fish and french fries." ”

"Uh...... Yes. The Englishman smiled and nodded, and then he continued solemnly: "I usually use the best cod for breakfast, and then serve it with fresh English fries. ”

"For lunch, it's the best rays and served with fresh Scottish fries."

"When it's time for dinner, opt for flounder and Welsh fries." Qi Xiao hurriedly spoke.

"Haha......" The crowd burst into laughter, and Jacques exclaimed, "You lie, Wales has no potatoes at all, there are only sheep, endless goats." ”

"Perhaps." Ian laughs, "But even if it's a goat, I can turn them into potatoes and cook them." ”

"Is there no time for that?" Rhaegar asked.

"Uh...... It's just a matter of habit, I think Chinese food has too much oil and salt, and some of it is not good for health. I usually like to eat Indian food. The Englishman said, looking into Rhaeggar's eyes.

"You're a transcendent person, and eating and drinking is going to be detrimental to your health? In addition, I have heard that many Indian dishes require the holy water of the Ganges River to cook authentically. Qi Xiao put one hand on the British's shoulder and said with concern.

“…… Luckily, I don't have that in the UK. The Englishman paused for a moment before continuing.
