Chinese food saves the world

The house does she ground, butupona woman.

Homes are not built on the land, but on women.

When returning to Pasadena from the skating rink in downtown Los Angeles, it was already early in the morning, Hollett decided to abide by her latest statement on social platforms, and the Chinese restaurant was closed for one day.

Coincidentally, it happened to be New Year's Day, a legal holiday, so she could go to the Rose Parade in Pasadena.

The Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, as the largest New Year's celebration on the west coast, has been held for more than a century. Hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world have arrived in this warm old town recently. The city is full of festivals atmosphere.

And in the early morning of this day, as soon as Heletty opened the door, he saw Charles Xavier and David Howler who had been waiting in the car for a long time. The two had already returned to Los Angeles last night. After resting at night, I came to her single-family apartment specially this morning.

Obviously, the kidnapping experience of Holliday by Mr. Sinister made the mutant father and son feel very guilty. Not to mention that Mr. Sinister is an old opponent of the X-Men, and even the reason why he stared at Helletti must be the same. Because Hollett is a direct descendant of the Xavier family.

As one of the most well-known mutants in the world, Charles Xavier and David Howler have many opponents. Of course, there will be low-level evil elements who will try to use Heleti as a breakthrough point, and attack the two by hurting this young girl. A powerful mutant.

But these people may only end up in disappointment.

Hollett didn't look like she was frightened after a horrific kidnapping. After ample rest, she looked radiant, shaking the car keys at Charles and David, "I'm going to the intersection of Green Road and Orange Grove Avenue Watching the rose parade, do you want to join us?"

Of course, Charles and David would not refuse her, and suggested with great interest, "I heard that there will be a float for the Beijing Olympics this year."

In the more than 150-year history of the Pasadena Rose Parade, nearly 5.5 countries and regions around the world have participated. This [-]-mile float parade from west to east has great influence in the world.

However, in the past 118 parades, there has never been a float from mainland China, and the 2008 Olympic year is undoubtedly the first time.

When Xavier's family of three arrived at the starting point of the float parade, they saw three F-18 fighter jets roaring past, officially kicking off the parade.

46 floats loaded with flowers passed by on Pasadena Avenue, and each float was decorated with tens of thousands of flowers. For roses alone, Heleti has seen more than 50 different varieties, narcissus and tulips. There are no longer a few, and the entire city and county seem to be fragrant.

Southern California is sunny and the weather is already very warm in the morning. The 21 drum and flag teams composed of colleges and marines from all over the United States, as well as young students from Canada, Panama, and Australia are full of energy and inspiration, and the surrounding audience cheered endlessly.

At this time, Heleti saw the 17-meter-long Beijing Olympic float, which was well-made and full of oriental charm. The Olympic theme of "One World, One Dream" was hung on the front of the float, which was the theme of this year's Rose Parade. "Passport to the World Celebration" coincided with it, attracting many tourists to watch.

The 5.5-mile-long float filled the city with laughter and encouragement. This is the first day of 2008. No matter how sad, sad, exciting, and glorious this year will continue to bring to the world, at this moment, in a vibrant celebration, There are hundreds of thousands of tourists on site, and more than [-] million viewers around the world watching the live broadcast. The joy and cheers on the faces are the only real ones.

The scene was crowded and chaotic, but the two mutant parents of Xavier's family were very satisfied with today's family day arrangement.

The sense of ritual can always bring indescribable touch. Charles and David completely ignored the slight sunburn on their cheeks brought by the sinister California sun.

The Xavier family seems more and more like a warm family, rather than two unencumbered single men who can only think about how to contribute to the world every day.

Ten minutes before the end of the float parade, the three members of Xavier's family evacuated early and successfully avoided the spectacular traffic jam. Hao Leti planned to use today's noon for family dinners, "How about eating emerald and white jade dumplings? Three fresh shrimps Stuffed."

Dumplings, a traditional noodle dish, have a history of 800 years. As long as there are Chinese people living in the world, there are eating habits. There are many kinds of fillings, and the three fresh shrimps are undoubtedly the classic traditional taste in the north.

In North America, many people’s favorite Chinese food is dumplings. This kind of staple food that knows the golden mean and never seems to make people feel bored always reminds people of it every festival.

In Hao Leti's single-family apartment, she is skillfully kneading the dough. In addition to the smooth and soft white dough, there is also a green dough with spinach juice. After kneading into two long strips, the green dough is flattened Wrap the white ones, cut them into pieces and press them flat, and then they become beautiful emerald white jade dumpling skins, with snow-white inside and emerald green outside.

If you want to ensure the deliciousness of dumplings, you must not relax at every step, especially the filling process. A handful of fresh leeks, a few eggs cooked and stirred into golden egg crumbs, four fat and six thin pork fillings and large shrimp granules, Hao Leti The shrimp heads and shells left over from the peeled shrimp are used for frying oil, and then the shrimp oil is used to adjust the filling, which is enough to freshen the eyebrows.

As soon as the dumpling fillings were prepared, Charles, David and Steven were already sitting in a row by the food table, rolling up their sleeves to help Hao Leti make dumplings.

But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of the doorbell——

Hao Leti had just walked to the porch when the closed door was opened from the outside.

The thin and tall consulting detective appeared in front of Heleti. He was naturally putting away the self-made universal unlocking key. On the pale ascetic face under the black curly hair, there was no sense of shame for breaking into a private house.

Sherlock's gray gem-like eyes, like -->>

Flashing gamma rays, he inspected Heleti's body without any mistakes, until it was confirmed that she had not suffered the slightest trauma in the kidnapping incident last night, then he looked at her and said perfunctorily, "Happy New Year."

His deep and slightly hoarse voice, coupled with the literary tone of the public school standard accent, may drive all young girls into madness. British gentlemen with charming accents can always become sought-after items on the North American continent.

Hao Leti raised her wrist to check the time, "Sure enough, it's twelve hours, and you are as punctual as ever."

"But you look a little disappointed." Sherlock approached her with long legs.

Hao Leti did not refute, "I am looking forward to the arrival of Oulos."

The consulting detective frowned, and the little white-eyed wolf started again. As long as Oulos was involved, others would become redundant eyesores.

"It's a pity that Oulos is being held in Sherringford." Sherlock had just visited the fortress three days ago to visit the big devil's sister. "MI[-] has recently upgraded its defense level."

"Really?" When Hollett asked in an unpredictable tone, the doorbell rang again from the door behind the two of them.

Hollett was about to unscrew the door lock with her fingers, she raised an eyebrow at Sherlock, "There is no place in the world that can lock Oros."

Consulting Detective: What the hell is that arrogant tone of yours? !

Hollett pushed open the door. This European woman, whose talent was far superior to Newton's and was regarded as a "demon" by the British government, was still thin and pale, with terrifyingly deep gray eyes.

Only when she looked at the Asian girl in front of her did she become supple and take on a human warmth, "Happy New Year, Holly."

And Holly's smile was as sincere as a teenager's, and she was 1 times more sincere than when she saw the consulting detective a minute ago.

The two gifted girls embraced each other very intimately. The big devil Oulos took this opportunity to look at Sherlock and said with his lips, "Stupid little curly hair, don't expect to be able to rob my sister from me."

Sherlock: Me?The calm and wise world's number one consulting detective?A super genius who is proficient in more than ten kinds of advanced subjects?stupid?Curly?

The two British guests arrived one after another. Heletty took the Big Devil and Little Curly into the kitchen, and joined the line-up team, preparing to make dumplings for today's lunch.

I have to say that making dumplings is completely a matter of personal aesthetics, but like the emerald and white jade dumplings to be made today, the most suitable way to make them is in the shape of a wooden fish.

Hao Leti signaled to her family and roommates that the center of the dumpling wrapper in her hand was as white as jade and the surroundings were verdant. "Put in the stuffing and fold it in half to form a semicircle. Pinch the middle with your thumbs and index fingers to hold the edge, and at the same time gently push it towards the middle. Squeeze, with a little force, a dumpling like a general with a belly is ready."

The wrapped dumplings are like a crisp emerald white jade, with a round white belly and beautiful folds on the emerald green edges.

I have to say that today's "dumpling-making learning team" is all extremely intelligent. The dumplings they made for the first time were decent in shape and their hands-on ability is very good.

Several people started working at the same time. The lunch was completed earlier than expected. Hao Leti put the dumplings into the pot in batches. Amidst the gurgling sound, the emerald and white jade dumplings in the pot were rolling in the boiling water, which seemed very lively , as if the boiling sound is also full of joyful festive atmosphere.

It only takes 10 minutes to remove and put on a plate. On the crystal clear porcelain plate, the dumpling belly is full and bulging like white jade, emerald green dumpling pleats dotted on it, whet the appetite.

At the dining table for six people, the "dumpling making team" couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in their mouths. The thin-skinned and stuffed three-fresh shrimp tasted very delicious, and the pork stuffing was not greasy at all. The soup overflowed in the mouth, but it wasn't The soup is specially made, but the moisture of the ingredients is naturally fused under the urging of heat. One bite, it is full of fragrance.

When several people were obsessed with dumplings and couldn't help themselves, Sherlock answered a call from the British government, and he chose a video call.

This is already the No.30 two-way call that Mycroft Holmes dialed today. Sherlock made seventeen calls, and Orlos fifteen times. Unfortunately, these two extremely difficult siblings made him face baldness at a young age. Just got on the phone at this moment.

——Then start eating and broadcasting.

At this time, it is twelve noon in Los Angeles in the western part of the United States. Under the eight-hour time difference, it is eight o'clock in the evening in London.

So this is still poisoning at night.

Hao Leti picked up a dumpling and put it in her mouth, beckoning to Mr. Daifuku on the other side of the video call, "Have you had dinner yet?"

The British government was expressionless, "It's my weight loss period recently."

Sherlock raised his eyes from the bowl full of dumplings, and looked at his brother, "I'm afraid every day should be your weight loss period, after all, you grow your body even if you breathe."

The implication is that Mr. Big Holmes is completely alive and losing weight.

"When you reach my age, you won't be so arrogant." Mycroft smiled falsely, looking threatening.

And the big devil Oulos picked up the dumplings and dipped them in vinegar sauce, "What does it have to do with your age? You became more obese when you were a teenager."

Mr. British Government, who still stayed at the Palace of Westminster to work overtime on New Year's Day, looked at his younger siblings who were eating heartily during the video call, and still kept an elegant smile, as if the curvature of the corners of his mouth had been accurately measured——

I don't want to, I don't watch, I don't listen, I'm not hungry, I don't touch the cake, I don't eat anything, I want to lose weight.

Hunger is just an illusion, and there's nothing wrong with it. When I'm hungry, I feel like I've lost ten pounds.

3 minutes later--

Forget it, I'd better eat a piece of cake, anyway, it's not a bad meal to lose weight.
