Chapter 41: Nemo Ox
The back garden was again flooded with seven or eight guests, with Iggy leading the way, followed by the governor and the prince from Ottoman, and the governor's wife was also by the side, although she was middle-aged and no longer young, but after being carefully dressed, she was radiant, especially the slender eyebrows, like a crescent moon, which made the middle-aged beautiful woman even more charming.
I distinctly heard a "snort" from Mrs. John's nose.
The Ottoman prince wore a red tall felt hat, a robe, and riding boots, which were not deliberately embellished, but he was outstanding in the hearts of everyone. The nobility of the status is vividly displayed in the Vanity Fair of the Governor's Palace, because all eyes are focused on this prince.
Perhaps, only I did not have time to pay attention to this prince, because I saw that the governor and the prince were followed by father and daughter Wood and brother and sister Tanaka.
Wood accompanied the Governor in military uniform, and Luna took her father's arm and walked into the back garden. I thought that she was perhaps the only woman in the world who didn't need to be dressed up at all, she didn't have the elaborate craftsmanship of the two ladies, only a red dress with a tassel tied around her waist, which was enough to seduce the soul, and between the swaying breezes, she came like a beating flame in a furnace.
Dolly Maiden's glass heart shattered to the ground, and she muttered, "She's so pretty!" Naturally, she wasn't the Doge's wife, but Luna.
Nemo secretly told her, "Of course, you know what, she's my sister-in-law." ”
Dolly looked at me, her face full of disbelief, "Is that him, haha, don't tease." ”
Nemo hurriedly said: "Why don't you believe it, my brother told me personally." ”
"Cut, your brother is too narcissistic."
"My sister-in-law also told me personally." Nemo naturally didn't know that Luna and I were fighting for a bracelet that day, and when I asked Nemo to steal it, I said that Luna was my girlfriend, and when Luna asked Nemo to catch me, she also treated her like a human being, saying that she was my girlfriend, not to mention, I hugged Luna in front of everyone and forced her to admit that we were a couple. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head, in the past few days in the city, I was really messing around.
Dolly looked at Luna from afar, then at Nemo, "I still don't believe me." ”
Once in the back garden, Luna let go of her hand and ducked sideways. She had a preconceived prejudice against her father, and being able to accompany him to the Governor's family dinner today had already given Wood a lot of face.
Tomoko took Tanaka's hand, looked around curiously, and suddenly saw the cattle and sheep on the ground, and couldn't help but be surprised, her eyes lit up, and she had already found me, like a little swallow, let go of Tanaka's hand and flew towards me.
"Brother Bug, are you a chef?"
I laughed, "Well, I'm going to make something to eat for you, and I'll bake it for you later." ”
"Haha, Brother Bug, you're so funny, I can't eat such a big cow and a sheep, do you want to kill me?"
"It's okay, I'll help you stuff it in your mouth when the time comes." I said to Tomoko with a smile.
"But this cow and sheep have not been slaughtered yet, and when will it be roasted, and before I can die, I will starve to death."
"You don't have to worry about that, do you see him?" I pointed at Nemo with my hand, "This black boy can do it in minutes." He's Nemo, my good friend. ”
"Then I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting here to eat your meat." After saying that, Tomoko looked at me.
I was startled, remembering that I had been bitten hard by Tomoko on my arm, and then I saw Tomoko salivating at me, and my heart was drumming, "It's not my meat, it's the meat of cattle and sheep." ”
Tomoko didn't care, "Which one is delicious, which one to eat." ”
When the governor and the prince arrived, there was a round of applause, and the crowd greeted them, and the two of them returned the salute one by one.
I found that Pi You didn't know when she was pulling Qian Yan and walking not far away, not so much pulling as pinching, she asked coldly, "Why didn't you tell me that he was here." ”
Qian Yan lost his former shrewdness, and said aggrievedly: "He won't let me tell you." ”
"Qian Yan, you bastard, you actually lied to me." After saying that, Piyu seemed to be about to leave.
Qian Yan grabbed Pi You, "Auntie, don't be angry, Prince Hamid didn't tell me to let you go back." That's why I agreed to come with you. He's coming all the way around, and it's not good for you to hide from him. Let's not rush, let's see the situation, okay. ”
Piyu groaned, speechless. When Tomoko saw Piyu, she happily ran over and hugged her, and Piyu also smiled, but it was not so natural, and her preoccupied appearance could be seen at a glance.
Standing in the middle of the field, Governor Wade gave an enthusiastic speech to the crowd, nothing more than a kind word of welcome to the Ottoman prince Hamid, thanks for his presence, and good food and drink.
Then the Governor invited Hamid to speak, and Hamid nodded to all the guests, and he cleared his throat and said, "It is an honour to be in Australia, and it is a pleasure to meet Governor Wade and his wife. It's going to be a beautiful night of all friends, new friends and old friends, coming together, and it reminds me of a few lines of my favorite poem, which seem to be changed to: Blue Australian night, black cats and squirrels roaming, starry sky and sea embracing. Today I specially bring you some small gifts, an Ottoman scarf, not very valuable, but I hope to express my respect for all friends, and at the same time my chef will cook food for everyone, in Australia, this isolated wilderness, you can also drink a cup of black tea, with a printed turban, everything is so natural, everything is good. ”
Although he said that the scarf was just a small gift, when the servant handed it out, Mrs. John couldn't help but praise it, "This is silk, it feels very good to the touch, it is definitely a first-class material, and this embroidery is also purely artificial, the prince is really attentive." ”
Hamid raised his glass with a smile, "To the Governor, to the guests, everything is fine." ”
He was very good at adjusting the atmosphere, and everyone raised their glasses with a lot of energy, "To the governor, to the prince, everything is good." ”
Horse faces, pigs' heads have been put on the table, such as shortbread, omelette, plum salad, Alexander barbecue, and a whole lamb has been roasted. The sheep was ruddy, bubbling with a fragrant fragrance that was mouth-watering.
Glancing triumphantly at me, the horse picked up a knife to cut the lamb for the guests, and Hamid personally gave the plate of roasted meat to the guests who came to pick up the meal.
Faced with the temptation of food, no one can resist, and the big gold tooth also urged the fat chef to put some dishes on the table. It's just me and Nemo who are deserted here. There is no way, the series of things just now has caused us to delay a lot of time.
Almost everyone gathered around the table. We only have two brothers here, Piyu, Tomoko and Carl.
Dolly looked at Hamid like a nymphomaniac, "Oh my God, is he a prince in a fairy tale, and he can also write poetry, so romantic!" ”
Piyu had the charming eyes of a Persian beauty, rippling and rippling, and she was looking at Hamid from a distance, and when she heard Dolly's words, she pouted, "Hypocrisy!" If you bring a few poems, you really think you're a poet. ”
Somehow, I didn't feel very comfortable looking at Hamid, and when I heard Piyu's words, I felt like a confidant, "That's it, who can't write poetry." ”
Dolly gave me a dissatisfied, "Will you, then you can make a song too." ”
Zhizi hurriedly said: "Brother Bug, the poems you wrote must be better than that prince." Now you can write a poem about this cow! ”
I secretly scolded myself for owing my mouth and bragging about nothing, but I was embarrassed.
I looked at the cow and grimaced. Dolly looked at me triumphantly and sarcastically, "Worm, what about your poem, is it digested with rice?" "She stopped calling me Mr. Shen and called me Worm instead, apparently under the influence of Piyu and Tomoko.
I exhaled deeply and chanted aloud:
This bison tastes good.
Two eyes and one mouth.
The tail grows on the buttocks.
Four legs under the belly.
I did write a lot of such poems, and my father just smiled after hearing it, and he said that my poems are also a kind of poems, and they should be called limerick poems, and in ancient times there was a man named Zhang Dayou who always wrote these interesting poems.
When I finished reading the four-character limerick, Dolly looked at me stunned, while Piyu and Tomoko burst out laughing.
Zhizi said breathlessly: "Brother Bug, your poems are definitely the best in the world, very realistic, and it is impossible to say that this year's Nobel Prize in Literature will not be awarded to you." ”
Pi You looked at me with a smile: "Bed bug, why are you so thick-skinned, you are embarrassed to come here." ”
Dolly seemed to feel fooled and stomped her foot, "Bug, I didn't expect you to be a scumbag." ”
Piyu and Tomoko's unbridled laughter attracted everyone present, and Carl and Little John put down their wine glasses and walked over, "Brother, what's so funny, you guys are laughing so happily." ”
Hamid was originally the focus of the scene, but after I messed around like this, no one paid attention to him anymore, and everyone looked at me. I knew that I had played a little big, so I cleared my throat and said: "Dear friends, we will start making delicious food next, and today Ms. Piyou will bring you authentic Australian food, the freshest beef and mutton, with the smooth knife skills, the fragrant barbecue will be presented in front of your eyes immediately." Then he said to Nemo, "Let's begin."
Nemo picked up his knife and walked over to the buffalo. I lifted my dagger and broke the rope that bound the cow's hooves, and the buffalo was finally freed and stood up. Everyone exclaimed and retreated, and Dolly was even more discolored.
But I didn't give the buffalo the slightest chance to escape, and a noose was already around the buffalo's neck. The bison struggled, but to no avail.
Nemo's eyes were intent, his eyes were blazing, he lifted his breath and tightened his abdomen, his expression was solemn, his left hand patted the cow's belly, and then his luck dantian, and his right hand waved the cow knife. The freshly sharpened knife shimmered with coldness. People saw the knife dancing up and down in Nemo's hand, slashing down like lightning in the sky, stabbing like thunder shaking the mountains, accompanied by Nemo's movement of clouds and water, only to hear a bang, in the exclamation of the people, the bison fell to the ground.
Nemo and I picked up four legs, and the cow was already lying on the board. Then look at Nemo's palm stretched out here, his shoulders pushed to that side, his feet stretched down, and his knees bent to that side, his movements were light and flexible. The sound of his knife piercing the cow, the sound of the flesh and bones peeling off, and the movement of his knife as he carried it, were so harmonious and beautiful that it was like a tap dance. The audience was silent, admiring Nemo's amazing sword skills.
My father had seen Nemo's knife skills, and he admired them very much, and he told me that although Nemo was a black boy, he was far superior to me in one thing, that is, he liked the body structure of animals, and when he completely mastered this law, when he slaughtered cattle and sheep, he didn't even have to use his eyes to see, and he could easily cut to the point, slaughtering cattle and sheep, hunting and shooting, kung fu skills, and even politics, business, and communication, because the mastery of the law was far higher than ordinary technical skills.
It was also through these insights that my archery and hunting skills also improved by leaps and bounds during that time, but I did not understand the laws of politics, business, and communication when I had just joined the WTO.
In a few moments, Nemo had already thrown the beef to me piece by piece, I copied the beef and put it on the oven, the fresh beef was bubbling with oil, and I brushed the pre-prepared sauce on top of the beef, and the aroma gradually spread.
The people with the plates forgot to eat and just held the plates, holding knives and forks and quietly enjoying the performance of our two brothers.
Pi You's index finger moved, like a greedy cat, shining eyes, urging: "Worm, okay?" ”
I cut off a piece of beef and put it on her plate, "Taste it, it's all yours." By the way, you just said that you bought this cow and that sheep, and remember to pay for it later. ”
Pi You scolded: "Bugs, have you lost money too, your mind is full of money." Quickly cut a piece for Tomoko too. ”
Before Zhizi stepped forward, Carl and Little John couldn't wait, "Brother, what about ours?" ”
I laughed, "Don't worry, it'll be there." ”
Wood smiled and walked over, "Billy, I've always dreamed of tasting your roast again. Unexpectedly, the Governor helped me make my wish come true. ”
People came to me one after another, holding plates of barbecued meat, tasting the delicious food and complimenting each other.
Little John brought two plates of meat to Mr. and Mrs. John, and the two of them twisted and took them.
Karl brought the meat to the Governor and Hamid, and when the Governor tasted it, he was amazed, "It tastes good," he said, "this is the most authentic Australian food." ”
Hamid was very embarrassed as he ate the meat in his mouth, and I thought that no matter how beautiful the food was in his mouth, he could only taste bitter, which was the price of arrogance. The Ottoman chef came over leisurely, "Kid, can I taste your food?" ”
"Absolutely." This person is not as domineering as a horse face and a pig's head, and always smiles. I saw him sitting with Tanaka chatting just now, and I didn't know what they were going to talk about.
The lamb intestines ate the meat, and also raised his big fingers, "This is the most authentic barbecue, very delicious, thanks to this little brother's knife skills and your roasting skills, very authentic, very Australian." I will definitely visit you when I have the opportunity in the future to learn this barbecue craft from you. ”
Tanaka seemed to be more interested in me, and he pointed to Nemo and said, "This little brother's knife skills remind me of a Chinese allusion, called Blister Ding Jie Niu, his performance is the biggest surprise for everyone today, and your barbecue is the second surprise, no wonder Piyu likes to be with you so much." Tanaka said loudly.
I smiled and cut a piece of meat for Tanaka, but at a glance, I saw a black cloud on Hamid's face when he heard Tanaka's words.
