Chapter 19: The Family Feast

After the morning exercise the next day, Lao Qin briefly rinsed it.

He found that he had forgotten two things: he forgot to ask his aunt last night if he was going to have an empty stomach, and whether he had forgotten to buy clothes after arguing for a long time.

It's embarrassing,

The clothes are fine, I haven't exercised all day after yesterday's morning exercise, and I'm dry.

Do you want to eat breakfast or not? Do you want to call your aunt?

I was thinking about it, and the horn of "Di~Di" sounded at the gate of the courtyard, and when I looked at it, Aunt Hei was waving at him.

"Good morning, Aunt Vivien. ”

"Good morning, Qin. ”

"Good morning, Qin. Mom, he must be your new boyfriend, right?"

Lao Qin was startled, Xiong Er was also there? Anyway, she was very concerned about Aunt Vivian's new boyfriend.

"No, Vivier, I told you he wasn't. Auntie turned around and explained to Xiong Er.

"Then are you going on a date?"

"......" Lao Qin hurriedly went home and started the car, and if he stayed here any longer, this little Lori might say something, are the children of the Eagle Sauce family so precocious?

When he came out, the aunt and Xiong Er hadn't finished arguing yet, and it seemed that the more they explained, the more chaotic they became.

Xiong Er seems to have recognized Lao Qin as Auntie's new boyfriend, and today Auntie is going on a date with him, and Xiao Lori strongly asks to participate, and claims to leave them two personal space.

Lao Qin waited for a while, and when he saw that the two of them still had no intention of stopping, he honked the horn.

"Oh, Qin, I'm sorry, this kid is getting more and more disobedient. Auntie poked her head out.

"It doesn't matter, she's still young. Lao Qin barely smiled, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like his stepfather, he didn't smile, and pretended to like the kind he hated very much.

"I have to take her to school today, it's too early for club activities to take the school bus. ”

The aunt explained the reason for arriving early, and Lao Qin nodded and motioned for the aunt to lead the way. Unexpectedly, Xiao Lori suddenly poked her head out and asked him:

"Can I tell them you're my stepfather?"

The soles of Lao Qin's feet slipped, and Niu'er almost turned off the fire. The heart said I sympathize with your childlike heart of looking forward to your father's love, but the concubine really can't do it Wow! At that moment, this thing pretended not to hear Xiong Er's question, stepped on the accelerator again, and slowly followed behind after the aunt set off.

I haven't seen it for a week, and the middle-aged white bald is still the same as if he is about to die, and his shiny scalp is shining in the reflection of the morning sun.

Lao Qin is not low blood sugar at this time, and his aunt did not let him enjoy the treatment of an electric wheelchair anymore, and made an appointment to go to the dinner time in the evening.

Billing, all kinds of instruments go through, I feel no different from domestic hospitals, but he doesn't need to pay first and then find the insurance company for reimbursement.

"That, Dr. Howard. After completing the process, Lao Qin took a bunch of reports and returned to the middle-aged white bald.

"Oh, report it to me. The bald man was going to look at the report and let him go.

β€”β€”The doctor has been a doctor for so long, and he probably has psychological expectations for the patient's condition, and the goods in front of him have been examined all over a week ago, except for weakness, there is nothing else wrong with it, and now he looks more happy than the two ha at home, and there is a high probability that he is fine.

"No, I have a question for you. Lao Qin held the report and looked at him very vigilantly.

"Huh?"

The middle-aged white bald quickly recalled what had happened recently, could it be that he was dating his lover the day before yesterday and was discovered by this kid? What did he want to do?

"Doctor, you see, I don't have to pay for these tests this time, I just need to pay with my medical insurance, but last week you reminded me to pay the fee......

"Whew~" Bai Bald breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this kid is not here to blackmail.

"Your name is - oh, Qin, right. Seeing that the goods nodded, he said:

"You need to apply for medical insurance for the first time, and last week you and I reminded you to pay the bill, and you swiped your card to pay the bill, but did not apply for medical insurance. ”

And what's going on? Oh, it's over! According to the behavior of the insurance company, this money is blind!

Lao Qin regretted it, he was fusing his memories at that time, and he was busy arguing with the system again, forgetting about this stubble, these days are getting more and more losers!

Holding on to the hope of what happened, he asked the doctor again: "Then I didn't apply this time, how can I ......?"

The middle-aged white bald didn't even look at him, flipped through the computer, and said:

"An insurance broker who claims to be your uncle applied for you two days ago, oh, I found it, his name is 'Ge', and he came to see you many times when you were unconscious. ”

Got it!

Co-authored really thanks to Ge Lao Er, in order to share the death compensation of his predecessor's parents, this villain really didn't make a lot of efforts, it is said that with his temperament, he must have to tell this yesterday to sell favors, it is estimated that he didn't have time to speak, and he was locked up in the bureau by the police uncle.

The doctor looked at the report and said, "Well, according to the results of the examination, you are recovering well." But ......"

Lao Qin Xin said what, I thought that only the fortune tellers on the street in the previous life came to this set, but I didn't expect that in the regular hospital of the Eagle Sauce family, you also came to this set with a hairless head?

The middle-aged white bald paused, picked up another report, and said: "But your body fat percentage has changed a lot, to be precise, it is very large." ”

As he spoke, he held two reports in each hand, and opened his arms to describe how much had changed.

"Your body fat percentage is a little lower than that of professional athletes, and the fat is losing so fast, I don't believe you will go for liposuction during this time, so what is the reason for this......

Lao Qin didn't tell him! It's no good to say it, the biggest possibility is that this bald man sent him to the psychiatric department for another examination, in case these quacks don't say that we have mental illness, what can we do?

Huh, that doesn't look good!

How tolerant this society is now!

It's not easy to be mentally ill! It's good to get used to being mentally ill! The Eight Tolerances have taken up two of them at once, how good! It's okay if you don't see a martial madman beating a child to death, and the family is not afraid that he will be killed, nor does they intend to lose money, so they don't say anything other than saying that they will be strictly guarded in the future.

Why don't we take the opportunity to get a murder license out?

As soon as he thought of this, the system flashed a rapid red light, and Ziyu also waved his hand anxiously to him.

Lao Qin rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that you two really have no sense of humor, we are just poor, we don't do things that lack morality and lose conscience, we won't do it in this life, look at the two of you.

He shrugged at the doctor, saying he didn't know.

Bai Bald asked again: "Then do you feel anything uncomfortable?"

Seeing that Lao Qin shook his head, the doctor put down the report, opened his hand to him, and said:

"Qin, your awakening was originally a medical miracle, and it is acceptable for something special to happen, after all, the mysteries of the human body are endless, and I am just a little doctor, so if you feel unwell in your body, you should get checked as soon as possible, OK?"

The goods were very perfunctory, nodded, took the examination report from the doctor, thanked him, and turned his head and left.

Waiting for Lao Qin to say goodbye to his aunt and look at the time, it is not easy to arrange what to do next.

I didn't eat in the morning, and it will definitely not work to continue exercising at this time, Ziyu said that he is now in the limit state, like walking a tightrope. Don't look at the middle-aged bald bald and say that the results of his physical examination are normal, if he dares to go to the swimming pool without eating and swim for another two hours, he will have to be sent back by ambulance if he can't keep it.

It's only ten o'clock, it's too early.

"Ziyu, what do you think I should do now?" he asked.

The young lady also frowned, she was actually Lao Qin's housekeeper, and the housekeeper annoyed him like this, there was a sudden situation today, and Ming'er had to do something, her logistics support was too difficult.

But if you don't arrange it, you can't do it, Ziyu has seen what obsessive-compulsive disorder is, and if he doesn't arrange it for Lao Qin, he can't do anything, and he will definitely sit on the hospital steps until noon and go home for dinner.

"Why don't you go shopping? "Ziyu Road:

"You complain about not having enough clothes in the morning, go buy a few clothes, and then prepare the ingredients for dinner, after all, you have to prepare a few more ingredients when you invite friends. ”

"And then?" asked Lao Qin.

"And then it's almost time!" Ziyu said:

"You didn't eat in the morning, so lunch can be appropriately advanced. In the afternoon, the overall exercise time remains the same, swim early, come back early, have a lot of dishes for dinner, and even out the cooking time. ”

Lao Qin pondered for a moment, and the arrangement of rushing to the foot was reasonable, so he nodded, go you!

................................................

The family banquet in Dahuaxia is different from Eagle Sauce.

On Eagle Sauce's side, there are three types of food in chronological order: pre-dinner snacks, main meals, and post-dinner desserts.

Before the meal, the host will come forward to entertain the guests, and the hostess will prepare the main meal in the kitchen.

Cheese, snacks (fried mushrooms or fried onion rings), sausages and salmon, platters of carrots, celery and other seasonal vegetables, salad dressings, all tapas, including sausages, are served cold, drinks and cocktails, but Portuguese wine is popular here in California. β€”β€”This is similar to making tea and pouring water and serving peanuts and melon seeds at home when Huaxia visits the house.

When the meal is ready, the host beckons the guests to take their seats.

The main meal is actually simpler, the salad is served first, the main dish is one or two kinds of chicken tenderloin, steak, pork chop, fish slices, etc., and the main food is generally the bread or small meal bag baked by the hostess herself.

Dessert is not actually eaten after the meal, but the host sees that everyone has eaten almost and puts it on the table, and after eating this, it means that the dinner is all over, and of course, you can also have another cup of tea or coffee.

In general, there is less food, more talking, and a strong sense of ceremony.

Lao Qin didn't plan to follow the process of Eagle Sauce, and he told his aunt in the morning to let her see the Chinese food culture.

Therefore, Lao Qin processed all kinds of ingredients in advance, and needed to be simmered on a pot in advance, waiting for the stir-fry to be set up, and the oil was passed through first, and the heat was lighter, in short, when the people came, three or four dishes plus two cold dishes could be put on the table within fifteen minutes.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost time for the scheduled dinner, and the aunt's family was very punctual, arriving ten minutes early. To Lao Qin's surprise, the eldest son of the aunt turned out to be a white man.

"Auntie, welcome to my house. ”

"Little Vivier, you are so beautiful today. ”

"You're Smith, it's nice to see you. ”

Lao Qin greeted his aunt's family one by one, pretending to be surprised.

He wasn't sure if Auntie's eldest son was adopted, or if Auntie had gone through several marriages, and maybe the first child would have a white child and a second child would have a black child!

"Thank you, Qin. Auntie handed over a bottle of red wine.

"Hi, Qin. Xiong Er was looking at Lao Qin with the eyes of his stepfather again.

"Hello, Qin, I'm Smith. ”

Xiong Da doesn't look too bearish, at least he doesn't have a non-mainstream hairstyle like a gangster, and there are nails all over his body and clothes, and he has a calmness beyond his age.

But maybe it was influenced by Xiong Er, and he always felt that Xiong Da was also scrutinizing him covertly.

We don't have the slightest idea about Auntie, so you can look at it however you want. After shaking hands with Xiong Da, Lao Qin raised his hand and invited the aunt's family into the house.

The living room has already been cleaned up, and there is a large sea of tea on the coffee table at this time, and the tea set is neatly placed on it. Lao Qin first invited his aunt's family to sit on the sofa, handed over the remote control to Xiao Lori, and then lit a backflow incense, then boiled water and made tea.

The inverted incense slowly flowed downward, the aunt's family was very surprised, the little Lori didn't care about watching cartoons, the whole family stared at the curling green smoke slowly falling and scattering, when the smell of spice burning entered the olfactory organs, the aunt's family reacted differently.

Aunt enjoyed it very much, Xiong Da was thoughtful, Xiong Erxin said straightforwardly: "Qin, are you a wizard?"

"Of course not, this is just a spice in Huaxia, the material, shape and vehicle are very special, so the smoke after burning will flow downward, and the spice can calm the mind and be good for the body. ”

Lao Qin smiled slightly, praising his inspiration.

At this moment, the water hole the size of a dragon's eye began to tumble, and the temperature was just right. He set up the tea set, first scalded the small ceramic pot with boiling water, and then poured the hot water in the pot on the tea pet.

Learning from the afternoon teaching video, Lao Qin poured the first two tea soups into the teacup, and then sprinkled them on the tea pet, which is called a warm cup.

The boiling water was poured into the pot for the third time, and after about a minute, he distributed the third tea soup to everyone.

At this time, the aroma of the reflux incense has already dispersed, and the faint fragrance of tea has also been spread, looking at the aunt's family who dare not breathe when they are bluffed, Lao Qin only then spoke, and said:

"This is a famous Chinese tea, called 'Tie Guanyin' (also translated as Ti kuan yin), it is a kind of oolong tea, the taste is fragrant, it will be a little bitter when you drink it, and you will feel sweet after drinking it, you can taste it. ”

Seeing that the aunt's family was clumsy holding a thumb-sized tea cup like herself, looking, smelling, tasting, and shaking her head, Lao Qin couldn't help but laugh secretly, it's more ceremonial than the sense of ceremony, we can bluff you are stunned if you learn and sell now.

In Great China, tea tasting is called Ya, which is really a cultural inheritance since ancient times. There is much more etiquette and attention to it than tasting wine.

Now all young ladies like to eat steak and drink red wine, and they feel that they have a unique literary style when they take a goblet and dangle it from a foreigner, and when it comes to drinking tea, they will subconsciously think of the middle-aged and elderly image of vests, pants, big slippers, a fan in one hand, and a ceramic tea jar in the other.

It can't be said that people worship foreigners, but they can only blame themselves for not promoting it properly.

Qin Zhan's set was still learned by him according to the video after he bought the sea of tea in the morning and went home, and the experiment was enough to fool the aunt's family.

Seeing that little Lori was frowning and drinking, Lao Qin smiled slightly, took out the fruit bowl and snacks from the coffee table, and then leaned over and said to the aunt: "Aunt Vivian, dinner is almost ready, I'll go and prepare it, you can pour tea according to me." ”

After that, I got up and felt handsome.
