Yunding Ranch

Chapter 270 Coincidence
Are fish and chips the quintessence of Britain?This may be debatable, but there is no doubt that this is indeed the most famous representative food in Britain, bar none.

After Lu Li's teasing words, everyone burst into laughter.

Richard patted his wife on the shoulder and said proudly, "Her fish and chips are the best in the block. Honey, why don't you make fish and chips today?"

Angel gave her husband a blank look, "How can you serve fish and chips when entertaining guests?"

"We don't mind, really," said Tony eagerly. "We want to eat good British home-cooked food. So what's more appropriate than fish and chips?"

Such an answer made Angel stunned, a little at a loss, she couldn't help raising her head, looked at Richard, and cast her eyes for help, but Lu Li opened the mouth to help them, "We made a bet just now, Tony is approaching Do everything you can to avoid your own punishment." Lu Li paused for a moment, "Those who lose the game should shout 'Catherine, I love you' ten times at the gate of the subway station."

Angel and Richard were both stunned, and looked at Tony and Brandon in disbelief, and then got confirmation from the ashen expressions on their faces, and the two of them immediately laughed loudly, and the atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed .

Kelly is an ordinary small family. Richard and Angel have three children. The eldest son is about to graduate from college and is backpacking around the world during the summer vacation; there are two younger ones at home, one is a 15-year-old daughter, Ann Delia, one is 11-year-old son, Peyton.

Just as Lu Li expected, Catherine's husband passed away the year before last. Originally, Catherine had her own house, and it was only a 10-[-]-minute drive from here.However, Catherine has not been feeling well recently, so she stayed at Richard's house for a while, and Angel could take care of her nearby.

After entering the room for a short while, everyone crowded around the dining table and sat down.

The two little guys, Andrea and Payton, helped Angel bring the dishes out of the kitchen. Andrea came to Richard's side, and Payton came to Catherine's side. His pair of translucent blue Color eyes glanced at Lu Li shyly, not sure if it was because there was a guest at home, or because this guest looked different from them.

Lu Li stretched out his hands with a smile, but the plate in Peyton's hand - he was sitting on Catherine's left, and said friendly, "If you're curious, you can look boldly, I'm not Voldemort."

The use of "Voldemort" seems to have amused Peyton, he laughed and shook his head vigorously, "Voldemort doesn't have a nose, you do." As he spoke, he pointed to his nose and made a nose The gesture of the pig's nose made him laugh out loud.

Lu Li nodded, "I'm very glad that I still have my nose." Such an answer made Peyton smile even more happily.He trotted away in a flash.

Looking up, Lu Li saw the smile on Catherine's face. He raised the basin in his hand, which contained long beans scalded in clear water, and gestured to Catherine.

Catherine nodded in agreement, Lu Li picked up some long beans and put them on Catherine's plate, and then put some on his own plate.Then he handed the basin to Tony beside him.

This is not the first time that Lu Li has been a guest at someone's house for dinner. Generally speaking, their dinner is like this. Each dish is placed in a big bowl and passed around in turn. Everyone takes the amount they need and puts it on the plate. Here, strictly abide by the habit of sharing food.

Today's dinner is no exception. In addition to long beans, there are lettuce salad, corn kernels, steak and French fries.A seemingly simple dish, but it is a more formal choice in home cooking.

"Dang, clang, clang," Catherine tapped her wine glass with a fork, everyone looked over, and she raised the glass, "First of all, thank you three new friends for attending and willing to come to our house as guests. Lu Li also picked up his red wine glass, raised his hand towards Catherine, and signaled, "Thank you for staying with me all day today and avoiding the embarrassment of watching the horse race alone; and thank you for helping me solve the trouble and let me I was able to go home in time for dinner, and it was a pleasure to meet you today."

Then, Catherine raised her cup high, "Thank God, let us have this delicious meal, let us be safe and healthy, Amen."

Catherine looked at Lu Li with piercing eyes, and raised the wine glass with a smile on her face, "Here, you must look into the other person's eyes when toasting, otherwise you will be unlucky for the next seven years."

Lu Li laughed brightly, glanced at Peyton who was sitting directly opposite him out of the corner of his eye, and said to Catherine in a low voice, "In France, you must look into each other's eyes when toasting, otherwise the next seven years Bed/things will not go well."

Catherine was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing. Her cheerful appearance made everyone look sideways. Richard stood up and raised his wine glass to salute Lu Li. Seeing the overjoyed Catherine, I couldn't help asking curiously, "What are you talking about? Are you smiling so happily?"

Lu Li coughed twice, "We are talking about the custom of toasting. Catherine said that in England, you must look each other in the eye. But in China, we have the habit of toasting, and you must drink it all in one gulp." He couldn't Speaking of French customs in front of children, right?
"What?" Everyone showed shocked expressions, which made Lu Li burst out laughing. Catherine, who was sitting next to her, smiled even brighter. That's what the old urchin and old urchin meant.

Lu Li knew that there was a big difference between the eastern and western persuasion cultures.

In China, people often like to say, "If you don't do it, you just don't give me face", the more you drink, the more lively the atmosphere; but in the United States and Europe, they do what they can. Those who like drink less.Therefore, a lot of domestic work is done on the wine table, fully interpreting the saying "food is the first thing for the people".This point is really difficult for Western culture to understand.

After hearing Lu Li's explanation, everyone suddenly understood. Richard asked curiously, "Does this mean that you should drink up this cup?"

This is not the first time Lu Li has faced such a proposal. He replied calmly, "This is the UK, not China. I think that's the point."

Everyone in the restaurant laughed, and Lu Li raised his wine glass high, "We pay tribute to this evening, thank you for hosting us."

Everyone clinked glasses, and then lowered their heads to taste the red wine in the glass. Catherine let out a low sigh, "Well, this is a good wine. The tannins are lighter than I expected. Is this a three-year or four-year wine?"

"Wow, Catherine, I didn't know, you are so knowledgeable about wine?" Tony said in surprise, his expression became agitated.

Lu Li looked at Richard, squinted his eyes and lowered his jaw, and said solemnly, "This afternoon it's Brandon, and now it's Tony. We are a team with a wealth of knowledge."

This immediately made both Richard and Angel laugh, and even Andrea, who was sitting next to her, laughed out loud. "So, what are you in charge of?"

Lu Li was a little surprised. It was Andrea who asked the question. After hesitating for a moment, Lu Li said with a hesitant expression, "Uh, the driver?"

Just one word, and the table laughed again, leading Tony and Catherine to complain, "Hey, we're trying to share this bottle of wine, can you please keep your voice down?"

Lu Li realized that he was the light bulb between Tony and Catherine, "Do you need me to change places? I don't want to be the villain who breaks Romeo and Juliet."

"Haha, scoundrel, scoundrel." Peyton pointed at Lu Li and yelled loudly. The whole restaurant was very happy and happy.

In the end, Lu Li didn't switch positions with Tony, because he chatted with Peyton. This little guy is obviously a model of the new century generation - a series of Internet words, killing Lu Li's defeat and embarrassment. , causing Angel next to him to look helpless, and had to interrupt their conversation, "Fourteen, did you come to the UK this time to watch the horse race? I mean, the Asian faces here are not as expected. There are so many, there are quite a few people going on pilgrimage to Anfield."

Liverpool, the "Red Army" of the Premier League, has a strong fan base in China, and naturally many people come here to make a pilgrimage.

"Yes, we came here specially to watch the horse race." Lu Li admitted frankly, "In fact, I run a small ranch in the United States, and we want to breed excellent race horses. This time, I came here on a special trip. Stud farms in Ireland and the UK, looking for suitable stallions/horses. However, we have very limited knowledge of the situation here, so we plan to come to the racecourse first to have a look.”

Lu Li looked at Catherine and nodded, "This is why I must thank Catherine today. She really gave us a lot of advice and helped us a lot. This is really important. Otherwise, just imagine, a group of strangers People go to stud farms, want to breed/breed, the point is, we are not oil tycoons in the Middle East, how difficult it is..."

While talking, Lu Li noticed that Angel kept looking at Richard. Even Catherine's expression was a bit strange. Andrea laughed directly. The atmosphere was not quite right. Lu Li His words paused for a moment, and he looked at Tony and Brandon. He thought he had said something wrong just now, but Tony and Brandon were also at a loss.

"Uh, did I say something wrong? Why do you look like I'm a clown?" Lu Li asked directly without beating around the bush.

This straightforward style is a little too much for the British, but Angel still looked at Richard, and then said with a smile, "Didn't Catherine tell you? In fact, Richard is a horse trainer." Master, he works at the stud farm."

This... The flood rushed to the Dragon King Temple?
