Lisco's American Life
192. Family Gathering 4
"Bring me the money." Zhang Li looked triumphant, joking, how could he lose to the Americans in mahjong?
Li Ke looked at it, took out a five-dollar bill with a headache, and then handed it to Zhang Li.
Maggie happily continued to sort out the cards.
After Zhang Li was surprised at the beginning, he started to kill everyone. Maggie also acted nonsense a few times, but what she shouted was not nonsense, but the funny "I hu-ed".
The people who kept losing at the table were Lisko and Goli, but they didn't play a few games before they were kicked off by Colt and Rooster, who understood the rules and were eager to try.
For a moment, the whole room was filled with the sound of mahjong clashing. Zhang Li looked at the pile of small bills piled up in front of him and felt embarrassed to bully these half-hearted people, so he gave up his seat to Lisko and then went to the kitchen to help Xinsi.
, she plans to cook some Chinese dishes for everyone to try.
"Okay, it's time to eat." After a while, Liske gradually became addicted. After Zhang Li left, he won the most because he found that several people on the table couldn't remember cards at all.
I just hit her along the way, even Maggie, who hit me the most, was like this.
In the last round, even though all four eights had been beaten, Maggie still had to wait for the next one to come out, so Lisko, who was at a low level, could easily defeat them.
"Okay, okay, let's eat first." Lisko ended the game and asked everyone to wash their hands and go to the table to eat.
"Wow, it's very rich."
Goli sat down next to Colt and looked at the filled dining table, the exquisite dishes and the art-like presentation. She really couldn't bear to destroy it with her knife and fork.
"Xin Si is a Michelin chef." Li Ke sat in his seat, thoughtfully helped Zhang Li fold the napkin, and then answered proudly.
Watching everyone sit down, Lisko picked up the poured red wine and knocked on the wall of the glass.
Because he is the host, he has to say the toast before the meal.
"Come and respect life."
After a brief opening, everyone agreed, then raised their glasses and took the first sip.
After finishing the first sentence, everyone started to eat. Maggie looked at the table full of people, her eyes were a little moist. She had experienced Bo's departure and Goli's pregnancy this year. Too many things had happened. In this scene, she
I remembered again the scene when Bo was still there.
"Maggie, come on, try this." Lisko paid attention to her, and when he saw that she was in a bad mood, he immediately diverted her attention.
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Maggie controlled her emotions. The deceased has passed away, everyone is living happily now, and I believe Bo will be very happy too.
What Li Ke introduced to her was Zhang Li's craft, which is China's most common home-cooked dish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Due to the restriction of ingredients, Zhang Li couldn't make many dishes, so he simply made boiled beef and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
We also made a soup. Cantonese-style soup is very famous. As a Guangxi native, Zhang Li is also familiar with this method.
In order to take care of the pregnant Ge Li, Zhang Li made a walnut chicken soup with common ingredients. The United States is the main walnut-producing country, so this ingredient is easy to find.
The chickens were raised on the pasture. The chickens that Li Scott bought specially in Chinatown are now quite big. At that time, he bought forty or fifty chickens and raised them freely on the side of the pasture. Jasmine usually takes care of them.
Because they eat bugs every day and grow up, the chicken is firmer and smoother.
"Goli, eat more of this. This is a Chinese nourishing soup, very suitable for pregnant women."
Zhang Li took a spoon and filled a bowl of soup for Ge Li.
"Oh? Really? Thank you." Ge Li took it and took a sip. The warm soup was not in line with her usual eating habits, but Zhang Li said it was good for pregnant women, so she was still willing to try it.
Every parent of a newborn is willing to do whatever is best for their baby.
"This soup is made with walnuts and chicken. It's called walnut chicken soup. Chicken has low fat content and is not easy to gain weight, but it is rich in nutrients. It can replenish the body of pregnant mothers and provide a variety of rich nutrients to the fetus.
, Promote the healthy development of the fetus."
Zhang Li introduced to Ge Li,
"Walnuts are good for the brain, and this chicken soup also promotes the intellectual development of the fetus and improves your immunity."
After Goli drank it, it tasted delicious, the meat and vegetables were tender, and the taste was fragrant. She was full of praise for this unique taste.
"This is great, Li, can you teach me how to make this? I like drinking it very much."
Ge Li sat next to Zhang Li and quietly asked her what she did.
Scrambled eggs with tomatoes and boiled beef are also very popular dishes. Americans like the sweet and sour taste, and boiled beef is a new way to eat beef.
Most of Xinsi's works are various desserts and staple food steaks. Zhang Li ate some rice. Liske still likes Chinese staple food a little more.
There are also some bread and salad on the table, and clam chowder, which are staple foods at American family gatherings. Shrimp and salmon are also common dishes.
"Li, this red wine is great," Rooster drank his second glass of red wine, swaying the glass and watching the traces of liquid sliding down the wall of the glass.
"This is the Screaming Eagle." Lisko raised his head and glanced at him, wondering why he had ordinary red wine in his wine cellar.
"Screaming Eagle? Give me a bottle later." Rooster heard this and understood. The reputation of Screaming Eagle red wine in the United States can be regarded as a household name. Although it has a short history, because it is a high-end red wine brand uniquely produced in the United States, many
Americans all think that this wine is the pride of the United States. At the same time, because the production is not high and the price is expensive, many Americans have never drank it.
Regarding the cock's opening, Lisko nodded. Because he had recently fallen in love with this red wine, Payne ordered a lot of it, and it didn't matter if he gave the cock a few bottles.
The output of Screaming Eagle is rare and difficult to order. This is for ordinary people. Lisko certainly does not fall into this category. He has long ago told an investment company to acquire one-third of the shares of the winery. He is now
Shareholders of Screaming Eagle Winery.
After having enough wine and food, Maggie started to invite people to play mahjong again.
After playing mahjong for a while, Willow was so sleepy in Catherine's arms that she couldn't open her eyes.
Maggie, who was still unfinished, could only say goodbye, and made an appointment with Zhang Li to play mahjong together next time there was a chance. The whole family stood up to say goodbye.
Lisko sent the crowd to the gate of the ranch and looked at Zhang Li, who was still blushing from the wine.
"So, did you have a good day today?"
"I'm very happy. Everyone gets along well. Geli also asked me to go to her house tomorrow to teach her some nourishing soups that Chinese pregnant women drink."
Zhang Li raised her head proudly. She was very happy that she was very popular with Liske's family.
"Uh-huh, you're awesome," Liske hugged Zhang Li, then stretched his hand from the crook of his leg, and the princess picked him up.
"Hahaha, let me down."
The two of them returned to the castle playing around.
