Chapter 287 Chinese communication time at the dinner party, legendary fishing experimenter Alice
“By the way, this is for you.”
Karl handed the bag in his hand to Su Fan.
"I asked a police officer I know to buy it in Chinatown in San Francisco. It should be decent."
Su Fan didn't open it, but from the packaging, it looked like the four treasures of the study.
Foreigners who go to Chinatown buy pens, inks, paper and inkstones...
"I hope you can use them smoothly."
"Thank you."
Su Fan After thanking him, he put it on the counter.
"Sit there for a while, dinner will be ready later."
The old boy Dyson would never let the fresh chicken for soup go to waste. In addition, Su Fan was also worried that this guy would burn down his carefully arranged kitchen.
After entering the kitchen, Su Fan immediately kicked out Dyson who was about to cut butter.
Then he tied the cooking apron hanging on the side.
Listening to the conversation outside, I suddenly felt a subtle feeling in my heart.
Different from the quiet atmosphere of the past, there was laughter coming from behind from time to time.
Since he took over the store, it has been deserted.
There has never been anything like this.
There are so many people and it doesn’t seem to be as noisy as I thought.
Su Fan took the kitchen knife from the knife holder and started to process the ingredients.
On the street, classic Christmas songs came and fell clearly into Su Fan's ears.
A cheerful melody, festive and brainwashing.
Unconsciously, Su Fan's movements became brisk and casual, no longer as rigid as usual.
The Chinese kitchen knife flew in his hand, and Qianzhang and other ingredients were processed into thin strips of even thickness in the blink of an eye.
The whole process was so fast and precise that Scarlett, who peeked out from the door, couldn't help but marvel.
It’s not like she has never seen a senior chef prepare a dinner, but compared to the former, the Su Fan in front of her had much better control of rhythm and time.
Be sure to clean the table at any time between putting ingredients into the pot.
After one Chinese dish after another, switch pots again.
"Su, do you know how to cook Western food?"
"A little research."
Su Fan answered while picking up the olive oil on one side and pouring it into the vessel , then chop the garlic, add spices, and prepare.
The guests are all native Americans. In case they are not accustomed to Chinese food, it is necessary to prepare some Western food.
Olive oil mixed according to a certain proportion and heated will produce a wonderful aroma.
Su Fanli dipped a little spoon into it, tasted it, nodded slightly, and then started to process the prawns.
Everything is ready, add olive oil and spices to the pot, and pour in the shrimp meat with the heads removed.
The snow-white shrimp meat begins to develop a subtle aroma under the action of oil and heat, which makes people's mouths lick when they smell it.
Scarlett leaned against the door and watched Su Fan busy in front of the stove. He pressed the ingredients with his fingers slightly, pulling the muscles on the back of his hands and forearms to show the lines.
Different from the cold and sharp look during the exorcism, the Su Fan in front of her now seemed to be a different person, gentle and focused.
While she was staring at Su Fan in a daze, a stewed Macrobrachium was ready.
“Try it?”
After Su Fan took out a piece, he put it on a small tray and brought it to Scarlett.
"There are knives and forks in the cupboard over there."
Scarlett took out the tableware as instructed, cut off a small piece of snow-white shrimp meat and put it in her mouth. The wonderful aroma and fresh taste of the shrimp meat immediately filled her mouth. It blooms on the taste buds and creates a perfect harmony.
“Hmm~”
Scarlett’s eyes widened and she kept nodding.
"Please help me deliver all of these. They have been waiting for a while."
Su Fan motioned to the dinner plates on the table not far away.
While the vegetables are being stir-fried, the chicken soup has already begun to simmer.
Wait until the other final dishes are finished, then serve it to the table and eat for a while, that’s almost it.
Not long after, Su Fan took off his apron and went to the restaurant.
Everyone is already in place.
Except for some traces on the wine glass, the meal remained untouched and did not start eating as Su Fan had thought before.
However, Dyson and Carl were clearly unable to bear it any longer.
Su Fan sat in the middle and said "cheers" without saying any nonsense. He raised the wine glass in his hand and said "cheers".
The other four people raised their glasses, took a sip, and then moved their knives and forks.
As soon as the dishes were in their mouth, everyone opened their eyes wide, and people in the room exclaimed and sighed one after another.
"I didn't expect that Su's cooking skills are so superb..."
Karl tried his best to restrain himself from eating so ugly, and sighed at the same time.
“Not surprising.”
Dyson recalled the scene when he and Su Fan went to eliminate Mary Xiao not long after they met.
When he got his hands on the firearm and shot the puppet, he shot faster and more accurately than a professional who graduated from the police academy.
Don't ask, just ask to understand a little bit of everything.
But he didn’t talk about that with Karl. He just stuffed food into his mouth, and then took another mouthful of wine.
“This has reached the level of a professional chef. Wherever I go, someone will hire someone with a high salary...”
Looking at the exquisite presentation and knife work, Annie couldn’t help but admire it.
There was a little curiosity in Su Fan's eyes.
What else can this young man not do?
The dining table was surprisingly quiet, except for the occasional two words of praise, which was the sound of tableware lightly hitting plates.
No one had time to be polite, they just felt like they couldn't stop their hands.
Soon many delicacies were cleaned up.
Of course, the red wine in the bottle disappeared with it.
Su Fan has a special constitution and does not get drunk easily. It is normal for Scarlett and Anne to attend dinner parties and drink alcohol in the entertainment industry.
Not to mention Dyson and Carl, pure wine mengzi.
A bottle of red wine wiped it out, not even tipsy.
So the two of them set their sights on Jiangxiang Technology.
"What is this?"
"Chinese wine, what do you want?"
Anne looked at the two of them, quite wary.
The wine she brought was for Su Fan, but most of it ended up in their stomachs.
The other bottle must not be harmed by them.
But as soon as these words came out, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Yo, something new.
“Can you tell me about the origin? I am also very interested in Chinese wine culture.”
“I actually don’t know much about it. I just heard from a director in the circle who has been to China. "I mentioned this, niubi."
Su Fan almost choked when he heard the two words coming out of Annie's mouth, but even so he coughed twice.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Su Fan’s expression was strange, Annie was a little confused.
"Nothing... do you know what you mean?"
"Yes, the director told me that niubi means cool in Chinese. And it's still very cool. "
After finishing speaking, Annie looked at Su Fan with a little curiosity.
“Isn’t it?”
Hiss...
Su Fan frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded. "That's right."
After receiving Su Fan's affirmation, Annie seemed to be in a good mood and began to introduce Moutai.
“The director heard that this kind of wine is very expensive in China and has the title of national wine. He also said that after drinking it, you will not be able to avoid the atomic bomb.”
“Is it really that powerful? niubi ."
Karl and Dyson immediately learned and sold, and gave a thumbs up at the same time.
After learning a Chinese vocabulary, the two began to trade business with each other.
Scarlett also read it several times. Just as she was about to say something, she noticed a smile on the corner of Su Fan's mouth beside her.
She had never seen this young man show such an expression.
It must be very happy for him that the culture and language of his blood hometown are widely spread and recognized.
After all, he has always been a loner.
Scarlett suddenly had the idea of learning more about Chinese.
But she didn't know that at this time, Su Fan was already in a state between being able to hold back and being unable to hold back.
Su Fan simply took the Moutai, poured a little each person, and distributed it to everyone.
The people who received the wine glass looked at the little bit of transparent wine in the glass and looked at Su Fan in confusion.
"This wine is quite exciting. Don't swallow it in big gulps. Try a little first."
After hearing Su Fan's explanation, Dyson and Karl did not ask for the reason.
The principle of listening to others and eating enough has been verified countless times by Su Fan, so just follow it without any doubts.
It turns out that the two of them once again made the right decision.
As soon as the strong liquor touches the tongue, the spicy taste hits the nose and eyes.
Scarlett on one side started coughing.
Among them, Annie performed best, but her beautiful eyes blinked a little faster.
Such strong alcohol did not make them retreat, but instead aroused everyone's competitive spirit.
They all asked for more. After tasting the taste carefully, they found that it seemed to have a rather complex aroma.
Facts have proved that Jiangxiang Technology is indeed effective.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone seemed a little drunk, and their conversations with each other were no longer as polite and reserved as before.
Su Fan smiled when he saw this, his eyes moved on everyone's faces, eating slowly and leisurely, taking a sip of wine from time to time, and counting the time in his heart.
"Almost."
He stood up and was about to go check out the chicken soup in the kitchen.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he started to move, Dyson raised his hand to stop him.
"Su, let me do it."
"You have been busy alone for so long, it's time to take a rest."
"Is that okay?"
Su Fan looked at this guy's red face and felt a little suspicious.
"Of course there is no problem with this matter, I'll go."
Dyson volunteered so much that he couldn't be disappointed, so he nodded in agreement.
After receiving the approval, Dyson immediately got into the kitchen and soon heard a burst of laughter from far to near.
“Ahahaha, here comes the chicken soup.”
The hot casserole was placed on the mat prepared in advance.
"This is the soup made by Su. The taste is guaranteed and very precious. Let's drink it while it's hot."
Dyson said as he distributed the soup in front of everyone.
As soon as he got it, Carl blew it a few times and couldn't wait to scoop it up to try it.
The chicken soup did not disappoint them, and it was a successful ending to the dinner.
After having enough wine and food, it is already getting late.
Everyone briefly chatted for a few more words and then left one after another.
Before leaving, I was still full of praise for Su Fan’s cooking skills.
Karl took the two detectives with him and asked a nearby police officer to drive for him.
As for Scarlett, there was someone dedicated to pick her up. Just make a phone call and a car would arrive.
The only thing left now is...
Annie, who was sitting on the right, looked at Su Fan a little narrowly.
"Su, do you think the promise of having dinner together has been fulfilled?"
"Doesn't it count?"
"Does it count?"
Annie held up her cheeks and looked sideways at Su Fan. Her long wavy hair was cut to the other side, revealing her fair and slender neck and soft jawline.
"You know that the dinner I asked for is not a dinner party."
"...Well, it doesn't count."
The emergency is true, Having said all that, it would be too perfunctory to regard it as fulfillment of the contract.
Hearing this, Annie across from him smiled. Under the soft light, the beauty looked forward to it, held Su Fan's hand, and then crossed her fingers very naturally.
She acted boldly, but her eyes looked at Su Fan's expression with some anxiety, worried that the latter would show displeasure or suddenly pull out his hand.
But neither.
Annie's mind flashed back to her previous conversation with Rachel.
“The culture and environment in which men from large Eastern countries are reserved and reserved will make them shy about expressing love in the early stages of a relationship, but this does not mean that they have no feelings.
When the atmosphere is sufficient , when the conditions are ripe, you will get a glimpse of the emotions behind their dogmatic and rigid appearance.
Don't give him time to think, take the initiative. "
"...Is it really useful? "
"You are a popular actress in Hollywood. People chasing you can line up from Los Angeles to France. Be more confident.
Remember, if you hesitate, you will lose. Put down your reserve and sprint directly."
Reflection is over.
Anne stared at Su Fan's face, her usually calm eyes turned away unnaturally, revealing a bit of embarrassment and hesitation.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that the advice Rachel provided did not seem so unrealistic.
Annie seemed to hear her friend's cheers and cheers, and for a moment, the other hand moved towards Su Fan's neck mysteriously...
Suddenly, there was a burst of rapid footsteps.
The sound came first before the door opened.
“Look! Su Fan! I caught a big fish!”
Appearing together with the cold wind was a short-haired vampire who had just gotten off work.
The excited Alice opened the door, and as soon as she entered the store, she yelled and screamed, showing off the big fish that was half a person long on her shoulders, but soon she smelled a strong smell. Smells of alcohol.
Looking closely, I saw the wine bottle that had not been put away on the table, as well as two figures far apart and in an unnatural position.
“This is...”
“Anne Hathaway...”
"Alice Cullen."
After a symbolic self-introduction, the charming atmosphere that had finally been brewed in the venue was gone.
Anne realized that she might not have a chance today, and felt quite regretful.
"It's getting late, I won't interrupt, let's go first."
After saying goodbye somewhat stiffly, he turned around and went out.
As soon as Annie walked out of the door, Alice couldn't wait to step forward and show off her weapons again.
“I’ve said it before, it was all your fault for the air force in the past few times, but you were still stubborn.
This time I used the control variable method to catch a big fish by myself. Do you admit it or not? ?”
Su Fan watched the fish’s big eyes swaying in front of him speechlessly and nodded.
