Outside the Chinese restaurant, the white woman thanked her repeatedly. If it weren't for Cao Gui, her cherished wedding ring would have been snatched away by the gangsters.
"You're welcome, Helen." Cao Gui smiled and said, "I am the FBI, and this is what I should do."
The white woman named Helen glanced at Cao Gui in surprise, and then complained:
"Cao, I have lived here for so long, and this is the first time I have heard that the FBI has an obligation to help people."
Hearing this, Cao Gui couldn't help but be startled, and soon realized that in China, people have long been accustomed to hearing the saying that if you have difficulties, call the police.
The same goes for Cao Gui. As a handsome young man who grew up under the red flag, when encountering a crisis, the first thing he thinks of is government agencies.
However, it is different here. This is Amarigna. The law enforcement agencies here are not the law enforcement agencies of the people, but the law enforcement agencies of the capitalists. Whether it is the FBI, NYPD, or DEA, these agencies are only responsible for the capitalists, not the people.
The police in Amarigna only need to maintain social stability, and do not need to protect citizens' lives or property safety. When receiving the alarm, they can immediately go to organize the crime, or they can sit at the door playing with their mobile phones and watching the criminals
Finish everything before making an arrest.
To put it simply, helping is a matter of affection, and not helping is a duty.
Therefore, in Amariqian, there is only one thing that can protect your family and yourself personally and property: a gun!
Besides, no one will help you, not the federal government, not law enforcement, not the capitalists who control the country.
Therefore, my neighbor collects grain and I collect gun. My neighbor is my granary. In a free America, gun battles occur every day. We, the United States, have our own national conditions. Why should we be so surprised?
"Ahem, Ms. Helen, let's not talk about this..." Cao Gui cut off the topic and was about to find an opportunity to escape, but heard Helen say:
"Cao, can I ask you a favor?"
"Huh?" Cao Gui didn't know why. Did he want to treat me to some sugar water?
"I was recently researching a new Chinese dish, lemon seabass, but I couldn't make it right." Helen said distressedly: "I wanted to try a Chinese restaurant to see if I could find some inspiration, but I didn't expect that I encountered a robbery."
"So, I want to ask you to help me take a look."
Cao Gui: "..."
There are a lot of things to say. I don’t know where to start. This is the first time in Mr. Cao’s life that he has heard of lemon seabass in Chinese food...
etc!
Lemon seabass?
Cao Gui was shocked. He seemed to remember that Gwen's mother's specialty dish was lemon seabass, right? Also, her mother's name was Helen, right?
?(???)Ding~
Cao Gui's eyes widened as he thought of a way to break through Director Stacey's blockade.
"No problem, Ms. Helen, let's go and let me help you see it from a Chinese perspective. I believe you can make perfect lemon seabass,"
"Really?" Helen was overjoyed: "Thank you, Cao."
"You're welcome, Ms. Helen," Cao Gui said with a warm smile, "but have you ever considered learning another kind of fish for Chinese food? I can teach you."
"Really? I want to learn."
"Then let's go and buy some items needed to make Chinese food."
"No problem, let's go!"
…
Sizzling——
There was a sound in the oil pan, and Cao Gui put a fish head wrapped in cornstarch into the oil pan, with its mouth wide open and raised upwards.
"Helen, the first frying is to set the shape, and the second frying is to fry the fish."
"OK, I've written it down."
In front of the range hood, Cao Gui was operating the oil pan while talking about cooking techniques to Helen, while Helen held a small notebook and wrote down what Cao Gui said.
When the fish head was almost fried, he put the shaved fish into the oil pan. Cao Gui taught Helen the squirrel mandarin fish. This dish is sweet and sour, which is more in line with the taste of foreigners.
And considering the rigid tongues of foreigners, Cao Gui thoughtfully chose mandarin fish. This fish is different from the four major fish in that it has eight fish bones in its meat. It has more bones and fewer bones, so foreigners should be able to handle it.
Cao Gui doesn't have the talent to improve dishes. It's obviously unrealistic to ask him to improve lemon seabass, a dish he's never heard of. But it's not a big problem. He took out this squirrel mandarin fish and instantly fooled Helen.
There's no way around it, the dish of squirrel mandarin fish is very beautiful and tastes great, no one doesn't like it... of course, except for people who don't like sweet and sour food.
As Cao Gui pours the prepared orange-yellow sauce, a super delicious squirrel mandarin fish is completed. Now let’s get into the technique... cough, I’m typing words together.
"Wow~ It turns out it looks like this when it's done." Helen looked at the dishes on the plate and exclaimed, "It's like a work of art."
She felt that the dishes she cooked before were just to fill her stomach, but now, she saw art.
"Try it and see." Cao Gui raised his chin.
"I can't bear to part with it." Helen shook her head: "It looks so beautiful, I don't want to destroy it."
"Wouldn't it be nice to make another one?" Cao Gui smiled and asked Helen to take a fork and take a bite.
"how?"
“Very delicious, better than the lemon seabass I expected.”
"Then I'll leave it to you, come on!"
"OK, no problem, leave it to me!" Helen said excitedly.
But it's a pity that Helen, a foreigner, obviously has poor knife skills. Either the meat and the fish skin are cut off with one knife, or the cuts are not in place, and the desired effect of the shape cannot be achieved.
Under Cao Gui's guidance, it took her a whole afternoon to barely master the essence. The taste was not bad, but her knife skills were still not good. In this regard, she could only rely on time and training to make up for it.
"Mommy, we're back." Outside the kitchen, Gwen jumped into the kitchen, but she happened to see Cao Gui who was about to come out.
Gwen:⊙▽⊙
Cao Gui:⊙▽⊙
The two of them stared at each other, but Cao Gui was pretending and the plaid was real.
"Cao, you, you, you... why are you at my house?" Gwen's beautiful eyes widened and she spoke incoherently.
"Gwen, you are back. Let me introduce you... Hey, do you know each other?" Helen heard Gwen's exclamation as soon as she walked out.
Suddenly, she also froze on the spot, and the three of them stared at each other, at a loss.
"Honey, you are in the kitchen...eh? Are you in my house like this?"
Now, there is one more person staring at him with big eyes and small eyes.
…
"Cao, I didn't expect that you are the classmate that Gwen said helped her." Helen said with some surprise.
At the dinner table, Cao Gui and Stacey's family of five had dinner together. Helen looked at Cao Gui with bright eyes. The more she looked at him, the more satisfied she became. He was as gentle as jade, courteous and courteous, good at both morals and learning, humorous, and knew how to cook.
He also has a close relationship with his daughter.
Isn't this the most suitable son-in-law?
Chief George was stunned... not in his head, but in his heart. He was on guard every day to prevent this wild boar from overtaking the cabbage he had worked so hard to cultivate.
But against all odds, he overtook me in a corner, which is really disgusting.
"Ahem, Helen, I didn't expect this either." Cao Gui was a little shy.
Gwen said nothing and concentrated on the dishes Cao Gui cooked, but her face was slightly red. She didn't expect that Cao Gui would show up at her house, and she was not prepared at all.
"Cao, I would like to visit your parents in a few days," Helen said with a smile, "You have helped Gwen and me so much. I want to meet your parents and thank them in person."
Helen made a request to meet her in-laws. Of course she could see that her daughter's face was flushed and she looked like a young girl with a child in her arms.
The children's matters are not urgent, let them do it on their own, but the other parent can meet, and she has plenty of excuses anyway.
"I'm afraid that won't work." Cao Gui shrugged and said, "They have been dead for a long time."
Gwen's eyes widened. She had known Cao Gui for so long. This was the first time she heard about Cao Gui's family situation.
"...I'm sorry, Cao." Helen was a little surprised and a little distressed. She didn't expect that Cao Gui's family would be in this situation.
"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it." Cao Gui chuckled.
Amid laughter and conversation, a pleasant dinner is slowly progressing
