Lisko’s American Life
192. Family Gathering 4
"Bring the money." Zhang Li looked smug, joking, playing mahjong, hey, he can still lose to the Americans.
Lisko looked at it, pulled out a five-dollar bill with a headache, and handed it to Zhang Li,
Maggie cheerfully continued to organize the cards.
After Zhang Li was surprised at the beginning, he started killing all directions, and Maggie also hu-ed a few times, but what she yelled was not Hu-ed, but a funny "I hu-ed".
Lisko and Golly were the ones who kept losing at the table, but they didn't play a few rounds before they were kicked out by Colt and Rooster who were eager to try after they understood the rules.
For a while, the sound of mahjong collisions in the whole room was endless. Zhang Li looked at the pile of small bills piled up in front of him, and felt ashamed to bully these half-baked guys, 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, Lisko also gradually indulged in it. After Zhang Li left, he won the most because he found that the people at the table couldn't remember cards at all. Just fight along, even Maggie, who has hit the most times, is like this.
In the last round, Maggie had already played all four octopuses, but Maggie still waited for the next octopus to come out, so Lisko's low-level level could easily beat them.
"Alright, alright, let's eat first." Lisko ended the game, called everyone to wash their hands, and went to the table to eat.
"Wow, very rich."
Golly sat down next to Colt, looking at the table filled with exquisite dishes and art-like arrangements, he really couldn't bear to destroy it with a knife and fork.
"Sins is a Michelin-starred chef." Lisko sat in his seat, helped Zhang Li fold the napkin intimately, and replied proudly.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Lisko picked up the poured red wine and knocked on the wall of the glass.
Because he is the host, so the toast before the meal is for him to say.
"Come, respect life."
After a short opening, everyone agreed together, then raised their glasses and took the first sip.
After the first sentence was finished, everyone began to eat. Maggie looked at the table full of people, her eyes were a little moist. This year, after experiencing Bo's departure and Golly's pregnancy, too many things really happened. In this scene, she I remembered the scene when Bo was still there.
"Maggie, come, 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 try it." Maggie controlled her emotions, the deceased is gone, everyone is living happily now, and I believe Bo will be very happy too.
What Li Ke introduced to her was Zhang Li's handicraft, which is the most common home-cooked dish in China, scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Due to the limitation of ingredients, Zhang Li couldn't make many dishes, so he simply cooked boiled beef and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
They also made soup, which is very famous in Cantonese style. As a native of Guangxi, Zhang Li is also familiar with it.
In order to take care of the pregnant Goli, Zhang Li made a walnut chicken soup with common ingredients. The United States is the main producer of walnuts, so this ingredient is easy to find.
The chickens were raised on pastures. The chicks that Li Scott specially bought in Chinatown are not too small now. At that time, he bought forty or fifty chickens and raised them loosely on one side of the pasture. Jasmine usually takes care of them.
The chicken is firmer and smoother because it grows from eating bugs every day.
"Goli, eat more of this. This is a Chinese tonic soup, very suitable for pregnant women."
Zhang Li served Goli a bowl of soup with a spoon.
"Oh? Really? Thank you." Goli took it and took a sip. The warm soup didn't fit her usual eating habits, but what Zhang Li said was good for pregnant women, so she was willing to try it. Every newborn parent is willing to do everything that can be good for the baby.
"This soup is made with walnuts and chicken. It is called walnut chicken soup. The chicken has low fat content and is not easy to grow meat, but it is rich in nutrients. It can nourish the body of pregnant mothers and provide a variety of rich nutrients for fetuses. , to promote the healthy development of the fetus.”
Zhang Li introduced to Goli,
"Walnuts nourish the brain. 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 fragrant. This unique taste made her full of praise.
"This is great, Li, can you teach me how to make this? I like it very much."
Sitting next to Zhang Li, Goli asked her how to do it in a low voice.
Tomato scrambled eggs and boiled beef are also very popular. Americans like the sweet and sour taste, and boiled beef is a new way to eat beef.
Xin Si's works are mostly various desserts and staple food steak, Zhang Li is bored with rice, and Lisko still likes Chinese staple food a little bit.
There are also some bread and salad on the table, and clam soup, which are the main food of American family gatherings, and shrimp and salmon are also regular dishes.
"Li, this red wine is great," Rooster drank his second glass of red wine, swaying the glass, watching the traces of the liquid sliding down the glass wall.
"This is the Screaming Eagle." Lisko raised his head and glanced at him, how could there be ordinary red wine in his wine cellar.
"Screaming Eagle? Give me a bottle later." Rooster understood when he heard it. 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 exclusively 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 output is not high and the price is expensive, many Americans have never drank it.
As for the rooster, Lisko nodded, because he recently fell in love with this red wine, so Payne ordered quite a few, and it doesn't matter to give the rooster a few bottles.
The production of Screaming Eagle is scarce and it is difficult to order. That is for ordinary people. Of course, Lisko does not belong to this category. He has confessed to the investment company long ago and bought one-third of the shares of the winery. He is now a Shareholder of Screaming Eagle Winery.
After drinking and eating, Maggie started the game of pulling people to play mahjong again.
After playing mahjong for a while, Willow was so sleepy in Catherine's arms that she couldn't keep her eyes open.
Maggie couldn't get enough to say goodbye. By the way, she made an appointment with Zhang Li to play mahjong together next time. The whole family got up and said goodbye.
Lisko sent the crowd to the gate of the ranch, and looked at Zhang Li who was still flushed with wine.
"So, are you having a good day today?"
"I'm very happy. Everyone is easy to get along with. Golly even asked me to go to her house tomorrow and teach her some nourishing soup for Chinese pregnant women."
Zhang Li raised her head proudly, she was very happy that she was very popular with Lisko's family.
"Hmm, you're awesome," Lisko hugged Zhang Li, then stretched his hands from the bend of his legs, and the princess hugged him.
"Hahaha, let me down."
The two returned to the castle after playing around.
