Re-recognize the peak

Chapter 19 Family Banquet

After the morning exercise the next day, Lao Qin simply washed it off.

He found that he still forgot two things: he forgot to ask his aunt if he was going to be hungry last night, and he had been arguing about buying clothes for a long time or forgot to buy them.

It's embarrassing,

The clothes are okay. I haven't exercised all day after morning exercise yesterday, and they are still dry.

To eat breakfast or not to eat?Do you want to call Auntie?

Just as he was thinking about it, the horn sounded "Di~Di" at the gate of the courtyard. When he looked around, Aunt Hei was waving at him, yes!Forget about it.

"Good morning, Aunt Vivian."

"Good morning, Qin."

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

Lao Qin was taken aback, where is Xiong Er?It is said that she is very concerned about Aunt Vivienne's new boyfriend.

"No, Vivier, I told you that he is not." The aunt turned to explain to Xiong Er.

"Then are you going on a date?" Xiong Er insisted.

"..." Lao Qin hurried home and started the car. If he stays here, this little loli might say something else. Are all the children of Yingjiang's family so precocious?

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

Xiong Er seems to have identified Lao Qin as the new boyfriend of the aunt, and today the aunt is going on a date with him, and the little loli strongly asks to participate, and claims to leave a personal space for the two of them.

Lao Qin waited for a while, and seeing that the couple still had no intention of stopping, he honked the horn.

"Oh! Qin, I'm sorry, this child is becoming more and more disobedient." The aunt poked her head out.

"It's okay, she's still young." Lao Qin forced a smile, the more he looked more like his stepfather, he smiled on the surface, pretending to like the kind he hated in his heart.

"I have to take her to school first today. The club activities are too early to take the school bus."

The aunt explained the reason for arriving early, and Lao Qin nodded, motioning for the aunt to lead the way.Unexpectedly, little loli poked her head out suddenly 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 ignition.Xin said that I sympathize with your childish innocence of looking forward to fatherly love, but the concubine really can't do it!At the moment, this guy pretended not to hear Xiong Er's question, stepped on the gas pedal again, and slowly followed after the aunt set off.

I haven't seen him for a week, but the middle-aged bald man still looks like he's dying, and his shiny scalp glistens in the morning sun.

Lao Qin is no longer hypoglycemic now, so the aunt no longer allows him to enjoy the treatment of the electric wheelchair, and makes an appointment for dinner at night and goes to work on her own.

After opening the bill and going through all kinds of equipment, I feel that it is no different from domestic hospitals, except that he does not need to pay first and then ask the insurance company for reimbursement.

"That, Dr. Howard." After finishing the process, Lao Qin returned to the middle-aged Baibal with a bunch of reports.

"Oh, report it to me." The bald man planned to read the report and send him away.

——Being a doctor for so long, I probably have psychological expectations about the patient's condition. The guy in front of me has had all kinds of checkups a week ago, and there is no other problem except weakness. Now he looks alive and kicking, and he is happier than the Erha at home. Most likely it's fine.

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

"Ok?"

The middle-aged white bald quickly recalled what happened recently. Could it be that this kid found out that he was dating his lover the day before yesterday?What does he want to do?

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

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

"Your name is—oh, Qin, right." Seeing the guy nodding, he said again:

"Medical insurance needs to be applied for the first time. When you and I reminded you to pay the bill last week, you paid by credit card and did not apply for medical insurance."

And this thing?Oops, it's over!According to the conduct of the insurance company, the money is considered blind!

Lao Qin regretted it unceasingly. At that time, his memory was merging, and he was busy arguing with the system again, so he forgot about it. The days he lived, he was getting more and more prodigal!

Holding the hope of just in case, he asked the doctor again: "Then I didn't apply this time, why..."

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

"An insurance agent who claimed to be your uncle applied for you two days ago. Oh, I found it. His name is 'Ge'. He visited you many times when you were unconscious."

Understood!I totally understand!

I really have to thank Ge Laoer for co-authoring. In order to share the compensation for the death of his predecessor's parents, this villain really did a lot of work. It is said that with his temperament, he must have told this matter yesterday to sell favors. Before he could speak, he was locked up by the police uncle.

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

What's wrong with old Qin Xin, I thought that only fortune-tellers on the street in my previous life would do this, but I didn't expect you, a hairless big-headed one, to do this in Yingjiang's regular hospital?

The middle-aged bald man paused, picked up another report, and said, "However, your body fat percentage has changed a lot. To be precise, it's very large."

As he spoke, holding two reports in each hand, he opened his arms to describe how big the change was.

"Your current body fat percentage is a little lower than that of professional athletes. The fat loss is too fast. I believe you will not go for liposuction during this period. So, what is the reason for this..."

Lao Qin didn't tell him!It's no good to talk about it, the biggest possibility is that the bald man sent him to the psychiatry department for further examination. What if these quack doctors insist that we have mental illness?

Huh?It seems to be good too!

How tolerant this society is now!

How easy it is to be mentally ill!Just get used to being mentally ill!Bada Tolerance occupies two at once, how wonderful!It didn't matter if Crazy Wu beat the child to death. The family members were neither afraid of him being killed, nor did they plan to lose money. They didn't express anything other than saying that he would be under strict supervision in the future.

Or, let's take this opportunity to get a license to kill?

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

Lao Qin rolled his eyes, and said to himself that you two really have no sense of humor, we're just poor, we don't do immoral things, we don't know it in this life, I'll scare you two.

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

Baibald asked again: "Then do you feel any discomfort?"

Seeing Lao Qin shaking his head, the doctor put down the report, opened his hand towards him, and said:

"Qin, your waking up was originally a medical miracle, and it is acceptable to have some special things happen. After all, the mysteries of the human body are endless, and I am just a small doctor, so if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you should do it as soon as possible." Check, OK?"

This guy was very perfunctory, nodded, took the examination report from the doctor, thanked him, turned his head and left.

When Lao Qin said goodbye to his aunt and came out, he looked at the time, but it was hard to arrange what to do next.

I didn't eat in the morning, so I definitely can't continue exercising now. Ziyu said that he is now at the limit, like walking a tightrope.Don't look at the middle-aged Baibal saying that his physical examination results are all 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 an ambulance if he fails to do so.

Then go to eat now?No, it's only ten o'clock, too early.

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

The little sister is also frowning. She is actually Lao Qin's housekeeper, and the housekeeper is annoying him. If there is an emergency today and something needs to be done tomorrow, it is too difficult for her to provide logistical support.

But it doesn’t work if you don’t arrange it. Ziyu has seen what obsessive-compulsive disorder is. If you don’t arrange it for Lao Qin, he can’t do anything. He will definitely sit on the steps of the hospital until he goes home for dinner at noon.

"Why don't you go shopping." Ziyu said:

"You still complain about not having enough clothes in the morning, go buy some clothes, and then prepare the ingredients for dinner. After all, when you invite friends to visit, you need to prepare a few more ingredients."

"And then?" Lao Qin asked.

"Then it's almost time!" Ziyu said:

"You didn't eat in the morning, so lunch can be brought forward appropriately. The overall exercise time in the afternoon remains the same. Swim earlier and come back earlier. There are more dishes for dinner, and the cooking time should be evened out."

After thinking about it, Lao Qin found that the arrangement was quite reasonable, so he nodded and let you go!

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

Dahuaxia's family banquet is different from Yingjiang.

For Eagle Sauce, there are three types of food for family banquets in chronological order: pre-dinner snacks, main meals, and desserts.

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

At this time, the host will prepare cheese, snacks (fried mushrooms or fried onion rings), sausages and salmon, plus carrots, celery and other seasonal vegetable platters, served with various salad dressings, all tapas, All cold meals, including sausages; drinks are mainly soft drinks and cocktails, but port wine is favored here in California. ——This is similar to making tea and pouring water and serving peanuts and melon seeds at home when Huaxia visits. This stage is mainly for chatting, commonly known as the hot spot.

When the dinner is ready, the host will greet the guests to their seats.

The dinner is actually simpler. The salad is served first. The main course is one or two kinds of chicken tenders, steaks, pork chops, fish slices, etc. The staple food is usually bread or small meal bread baked by the hostess.

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

Generally speaking, eat less, talk more, and have a strong sense of ritual.

Lao Qin didn't plan to follow Yingjiang's procedure, and made an agreement with his aunt in the morning to let her experience China's food culture.

Therefore, Lao Qin prepared all kinds of ingredients in advance, put the ingredients that need to be stewed on a low heat and slow down on the pot in advance, and put the ingredients for the stir-fry, and put the ingredients through the oil first, and the heat is lighter. In short, wait for someone to come, 15 minutes Three or four dishes are hot and two cold dishes can be served on the table.

In a blink of an eye, it was almost time for the scheduled dinner, and the aunt's family was very punctual, arriving 10 minutes earlier.To Lao Qin's surprise, the aunt's eldest son turned out to be white.

"Auntie, welcome to my house."

"Little Vivier, you are so beautiful today."

"You are Smith. Nice to meet you."

Lao Qin greeted the aunt's family one by one, pretending not to be surprised.

He wasn't sure if the eldest son was adopted by the aunt, or if the aunt had experienced several marriages, maybe the first child gave birth to a white man, and the second child gave birth to a black man!

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

"Hi, Qin." Xiong Er looked at Lao Qin again with the eyes that looked at his stepfather.

"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, nails all over his body and clothes, and he has a calmness beyond his age.

But it may be influenced by Xiong Er, he always feels that Xiong Da is also secretly examining him.

The conscience of heaven and earth!We don't have the slightest idea about aunt, it's up to you to look at it.After shaking hands with Xiong Da, Lao Qin raised his hand to make a false impression, and invited the aunt's family into the house.

The living room has already been tidied up, and there is a huge sea of ​​tea on the coffee table at this moment, and the tea utensils are neatly arranged on it.Lao Qin first asked the aunt's family to sit on the sofa, handed the remote control to the little Lolita, lit a cup of backflow incense, and then boiled water and made tea.

The backflow incense flowed down slowly, the aunt's family was very surprised, the little loli couldn't care less about watching cartoons, the whole family stared at the curling green smoke slowly falling and spreading, when the smell of burning spices entered the olfactory organs, The aunt's family reacted differently.

Aunt enjoyed it very much, Xiong Da was thoughtful, and Xiong Er said bluntly: "Qin, are you a wizard?"

"Of course not. This is just a Chinese spice. The material, shape and vehicle are very special, so the smoke after burning will flow down. The spice can calm the mind and is good for the body."

Lao Qin smiled slightly, and praised himself for his brainstorm.

At this moment, the longan-sized water eyes began to roll, and the temperature was just right.He set up the tea set, first heated a small pottery pot with boiling water, and then poured the hot water in the pot on the tea pet. The lotus leaf golden toad tea pet with the original color of clay was sprinkled with the hot tea, and the lotus leaf was green in color. , The toad is shining golden, which makes the little loli yell.

Following the teaching video in the afternoon, Lao Qin poured the first two brewed tea soups into teacups, and then sprinkled them on tea pets. This is called a warm cup.

The boiling water was poured into the pot for the third time, and after waiting for about 1 minute, he distributed the third tea soup to everyone.

At this moment, the fragrance of Backflow Incense has long since dissipated, and the faint tea fragrance has also dissipated. Looking at the aunt's family who were so intimidated that they didn't dare to breathe, Lao Qin opened his mouth and said:

"This is a famous Chinese tea called 'Tie Guanyin' (also translated as Ti kuan yin). It is a kind of oolong tea. It tastes fragrant and tastes a little bit bitter. After drinking it, it will feel sweet. You guys You can try it."

Seeing the aunt's family imitating their own appearance, holding a thumb-sized teacup clumsily, watching, sniffing, tasting, and shaking their heads, Lao Qin couldn't help laughing secretly, it's more ritualistic, right? We can fool you by learning and selling now I was stunned for a moment.

In Dahuaxia, drinking tea is called elegance, which is really a cultural inheritance since ancient times.Its etiquette and attention are much more than red wine tasting.

Now girls from all walks of life like to eat steak and drink red wine. They look like foreigners and dangle a goblet, which makes them feel uniquely literary. When it comes to drinking tea, they subconsciously think of vests, pants, big slippers, cattail fans and ceramic tea. cylinder image of middle age.

It can't be said that people worship foreigners, but I can only blame myself for not doing enough publicity.

Qin Zhan's tricks are what he learned from the video after he bought Chahai in the morning and went home. Just a little experimentation is enough to fool the aunt's family.

Seeing that the little Lolita had frowned and drank it, Lao Qin smiled slightly, took out the fruit plate and snacks from under the coffee table, and then leaned over and said to the aunt: "Aunt Vivienne, dinner is almost ready, I'll go prepare it, you can help me Just pour tea like me."

After all, he stood up casually, feeling very handsome.
