[Football] Crown of Thorns

After the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, Kaiserslautern drew 1-1 with Borussia Dortmund.

Although they failed to get all three points, Dortmund still ranks first in the standings with 52 points, ten more than second-ranked Leverkusen.

So this draw did not make coach Klopp too dissatisfied. After all, many players in the team have just returned from participating in the national team competition and have not fully recovered physically and mentally. Take a day off.

It will take nearly a week for Dortmund's players to play the next game, and the players who have a rest time are very happy.

On the second day of vacation, Gama looked up the map on the Internet and ran to the downtown area of ​​Dortmund to find the shop specializing in oriental specialties—there is no Chinatown in Germany, and the existence of Chinatown in Germany only existed before World War II. Chinese people who were persecuted during World War II Either fleeing or dying, according to post-war statistics, there were only 30 people left in the former Chinatown in Hamburg's St. Pauli district after the war-he picked up a Chinese almanac here.

The Chinese boss was very surprised to see this obviously Caucasian foreigner pick up a lunar calendar and read it there. The Chinese boss was a little curious, and he doubted whether the foreigner could understand the words written on it. Going out' or something like that.

"how much is it?"

When Jia Ma held up the almanac and asked the foreigner, he saw the surprised expression of the boss.

Do foreigners who speak German really understand?

The Chinese boss walked over, "3 euros."

Jia Ma silently calculated the exchange rate between RMB and Euro, which means that this almanac is about 23 RMB.

"too expensive!"

After glancing at the printed calendar, Jia Ma felt that the boss must be looking at him as a foreigner and trying to kill him.

Hearing Jia Ma's answer, the boss laughed, "Sir, this is consigned from Hong Kong, and there is a tax. I've already sold it very cheaply!"

"In mainland China, this torn annual calendar costs at most five yuan, and it's already February. It's time to lower the price."

Jia Ma changed the language and spoke directly in Chinese.

He hadn't spoken Chinese for several years, and even though he could still speak it, the Chinese that came out of his mouth had a strange accent, which surprised Jiama himself.

Hearing the foreigner's Chinese accent, the boss was also shocked, "Oh, you are still a Chinese master!"

Jia Ma laughed, "Boss, do you have Lantern Festival?"

Hearing Jia Ma's question, the Chinese boss laughed, "Are you going to celebrate the Lantern Festival?"

"It's not you, Lantern Festival on the 17th!"

The strange tone made the boss happy, "Don't you foreigners celebrate Valentine's Day?"

Jia Ma shrugged and spread his hands, "It's up to you, we have no lover and have to live alone."

Chatting amusingly with the boss, Jia Ma was shopping around in the store, various seasonings, and grains and rice. He even saw the ingredients of the prepared glutinous rice eight-treasure porridge and hot pot bottom ingredients, and even though it was quick-frozen But it is indeed the occasional food for the Lantern Festival.

Finding that Jia Ma is familiar with the appearance of sweeping the goods, the boss even leaned over to look at the things he picked, "Brother, do you want cumin? You are taking the ingredients for stew, what else?"

Hearing the boss's introduction, Jia Ma was not polite, and took a portion of all the condiments the boss said.

"Only one copy?"

The boss asked this question in disappointment.

Jia Ma shrugged, "I only try to make a little occasionally. If I buy too much, it must be expired and it will be a waste."

"By the way, I still have quick-frozen soup dumplings here, would you like some?"

After hearing from Jia Ma that he doesn't cook much, the boss introduced quick-frozen food.

"It must be very expensive!"

Jia Ma took a look at the quick-frozen foods recommended by the boss. Hey, they are all imported from China. Thinking about the boss’s sting, Jia Ma wondered if this guy would pay him all the expenses. How many times!

As a result, the boss slapped his chest proudly, "Seeing that you like our domestic delicacies so much, I will buy you the price."

Jia Ma glanced at him, "Let's forget it, it's not easy for you to earn money."

Besides, if people find out that I, who is considered a football star at any rate, buys things here and cares about this small amount of money, it will definitely become my black history when it gets out—don’t think I don’t know about Datian+Chao The pissing behavior of fans on the Internet is really black, you didn't discuss it!

"Haha, brother, you are a nice person!"

Gama looked at the boss who was smiling like a flower. This must not be a fan. Uncle, I am a celebrity in Dortmund now. He has not recognized me for so long. He must not watch football.

Inexplicably, Jia Ma felt a little resentful - the ancients said that not returning to one's hometown after wealth is like traveling at night in brocade!Although I can't return to my hometown with riches and honor now, I still feel a little uncomfortable for some reason.It seems that I am actually a man with vanity!

Apart from food and drink—grains, rice, condiments, quick-frozen food, and liquor—Gama bought almanacs, lanterns, couplets with blessings, door gods, and the like. When he was about to check out, he saw the clothes hanging on the wall inside. ——When I was in China, I thought it was the double-breasted coats worn by old men. People on TV called it Tang suits. The blue ones were deep and the red ones were dazzling. sour.

He lowered his head and suppressed the pain in his heart for two seconds, then pointed to the Tang suit with the red ingot picture hanging on it, "Is there a size I can wear?"

"Yo, sir, you are okay with this."

The boss laughed and looked Jia Ma up and down, "He has a good figure, but our clothes are not picky, do you really want a set?"

"Of course, I want to get red."

Gama nodded heavily.

So that day, in addition to eating and drinking, Jia Ma also bought a Tang suit that he didn't know when he would be able to wear it.

After returning to the residence, Jia Ma arranged everything, went back to the bedroom, opened the Tang suit, stood in front of the mirror, and slowly put it on.

In the mirror, put on a red Tang suit, and Jia Ma looked at himself in the mirror, black curly hair and blue eyes, matched with a red dress - blue with green, red with green for matchmaking... It was a long time ago, The nursery rhyme that sister Leizi hummed while laughing at him when he picked out clothes...it's been a long time!

Why are my eye sockets so wet?

Why is my heart so sour?

…………

I thought I had already figured it out and forgotten it, but it turned out that everything was still in my heart...

The trembling hand swiped and swiped on the phone, but in the end the phone number that was deeply remembered was still not dialed.

It really beeped XX, and now a big man is still so pretentious!

Gama laughed at himself and put the phone aside.

Sitting on the ground with his knees hugged, Jia Ma buried his head between his knees and didn't look up for a long time.

…………

In the following days, Jia Ma took the time to arrange the pendants he bought in the room and stick them up, and then tried to cook them according to the instructions on the food packaging bags, and they actually tasted pretty good.

I have a foodie heart from a big gourmet country, so what is the difficulty!

Jia Ma tried to make a hot pot again - it is very convenient to cook on the induction cooker, and it is not difficult at all. I bought some beef and put it in the pot. It was delicious.

However, there is only one problem with eating hot pot, that is, the smell of hot pot is very strong, which makes the clothes all stained with the smell! ! !

Since Jia Ma had a lunch alone and went to the training base in the afternoon, he was caught.

"unacceptable."

Ge Xiaoce, who has a special sense of taste in food, walked around Jia Ma a few times, "A man who steals food will end badly!"

Gamamo slapped his palm after two seconds, "Mario, is your literature class taught by your math teacher?"

"Seriously protest Xiko, you steal!"

Ge Xiaoce raised his fist with a sullen face.

Ge Xiaoce, who was forced by the coaching staff to avoid food, was living in dire straits with only nutritious meals, and Jia Ma actually ate good food behind his back. How could he be worthy of the brotherhood of their team members?

"Hey, you have read Introduction to Marxist Thought!"

Gama complained.

"I'm German."

Ge Xiaoce stuck out his chest.

"Then have you ever read Das Kapital? Profit is the foundation of capital. The exploitation of capitalists is based on the blood and tears of countless people..."

With a 'snap', Gama, who was talking nonsense here, was slapped on the back of the head by the deputy team Feller.

Gama, who covered his head, turned around, and Feller stared at him solemnly, "I haven't read those books, but I know that those who don't share weal and woe with everyone will be excluded by us collectively!"

The deputy team made a threat, and the people who helped the abuser immediately nodded in unison, "That's right, that's it!"

Sven patted Gama on the shoulder with emotion, "Xiko, you are a smart person, do you understand?"

I know shit!

Jia Ma, who rolled his eyes, let go of his hands bitterly, thinking of the hot pot base he had already opened—"Tomorrow, go to my house for dinner after tomorrow's training."

"That's right!"

Ferrer smiled and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the smiling face of the deputy team, Jia Ma wanted to give him the middle finger.

Unexpectedly, captain Kyle came over with a smile, "Xiko, can you bring your family?"

Jia Ma really wanted to say no, but seeing Kyle's smiling expression—this is the real black belly—"Yes, I have prepared a lot of things, and there are small gifts!"

With a smile on his face and tears streaming down his face, Jia Ma was thinking about how much to buy in that store after today's training to be enough for the wolves to search for melons tomorrow.

Then, the Chinese owner saw that the former China-handed foreigner came to sweep up the goods again, and almost wiped out all kinds of Chinese ingredients and some unsold trinkets brought in during the Chinese New Year in his shop— —The foreigner is also very good at bargaining, and of course he still made money.

"Wow what is this?"

The children running around looked at the various lanterns hanging in the backyard, as well as various small animals and flower purses, and kept asking questions.

In the end, Gama turned the party into a buffet style—an induction cooker was placed on the table, and the soup was simmering slowly, surrounded by all kinds of meat and vegetables. Those who wanted to cook it themselves, he had already told How they eat, he also put out the sesame sauce and dipping sauce, and the Lantern Festival that has been simmering on a low fire. In short, the food and seasonings are all on the table, and the food and drink can be grilled by yourself.

As for the children, he bought a lot of blessing cakes and cakes, plus candies and chocolates and filled them in the living room on the first floor, enough for the children of his teammates to eat and take.

"Xiko, what does this seem to be from the Chinese?"

Ge Xueba started again.

Jia Ma snorted twice, "I'm studying Chinese culture. Today is the 17th, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. It happens to be their Lantern Festival."

"Xiko, you still read?"

"What do you mean, treat me as illiterate."

Jia Ma unceremoniously grabbed Chubby's face with his hands.

The two began to struggle and toss, and the other teammates ignored them lazily, and spread out to admire the trees and flowers in the yard. After living in this small yard, Jia Ma still hired the original gardener to help him every day. He tidied up the yard, and the gardener took good care of the small garden in the yard. Although the weather was still cold, the neatly trimmed trees and blooming flowers made the whole yard really beautiful.

Teammates who brought their family members enjoyed the scenery while enjoying the delicious food on the table. Everyone had a pleasant and leisure night.

The guests dispersed, and the garden was full of scenes... Bah bah, it was still a brightly lit place, Jia Ma walked through the garden, looked at the lanterns that were still left behind, and couldn't help but smile.

Let the cute children take away the purses of those cute animal flowers, and some ladies who like lanterns will give them to celebrate the Chinese New Year, which is actually very good!

Of course, Gama would rather go to training than to clean up these things on the table.

In the end, Jia Ma paid double salary and asked the housekeeping staff he hired to clean up all the hygiene - rich and self-willed!

"You blow it!"

Hearing Gama's recap, Agostinho laughed at his pettiness.

Even though he knew that Agostinho couldn't see it, Gama rolled his eyes fiercely, "Tell them to wait for me, I will eat it back sooner or later."

"Hehe~~~"

Ever since he correctly mastered the two laughs with infinite meanings, hehe, Agostinho liked to use these phonetic words to reply to Gama.

The Chinese are really smart.

After knowing that these were all invented by the Chinese in the far east, Agostinho began to think about how to develop a commercial market for Gama. After knowing Chinese, his unscrupulous broker has already started thinking about how to develop the Asian market at full speed.

"I heard that Ronaldo is very well-known in China, can you..."

"cannot!"

…………

What a shame!

The manager's idea made Jia Ma feel that goose bumps were coming out of his body.

"It's really blinding your face."

Agostinho commented on Gama's resistance.

"roll!"

Later, when the agent put a contract from China in front of Jia Ma, Jia Ma felt that he was really going crazy.

I rely on me, I rely on me! ! !
