Generally speaking, the taste of the food here is okay, but the dining atmosphere is very boring. The restaurant is very quiet, everyone talks like stealing landmines. I am used to the lively environment in China, and when it suddenly becomes quiet, Hong Tao has nothing to say.
, had no choice but to deal with the food on his plate, and only chatted a little while eating dessert and drinking ice wine after the meal.
Different from Hong Tao, the other four people ate very casually and chatted in low voices while eating. They talked about everything from the United States to Canada, from rugby to ice hockey. There was basically no place for Hong Tao to interrupt.
"Hong Tao, why are you so quiet today? Isn't the food delicious?" When we drove home together after dinner, Katie picked up which pot she didn't want to open.
"The taste of the food is okay, but I'm not used to it, and the procedure is a bit troublesome..." In fact, Hong Tao still had something he didn't say, and that was that it was too expensive. When he paid the bill after the meal, it cost him a total of 1,300 Canadian dollars.
In addition to the 150 Canadian dollars tip, the per capita consumption is almost 230 Canadian dollars, which is more than 1,300 yuan, which is quite a waste.
"You'll get used to it, but I can't afford to treat you to a high-end restaurant like this now. I'm still a student." Katie comforted Hong Tao, and then quickly added to block her escape.
"Come on, I'll treat you to roast duck next time. I only need to enter this kind of restaurant once. Eating is almost like going to jail. You can't laugh, chat, or smoke. It's too restrictive." After hearing this, Hong Tao still got used to eating.
!Once is enough. How many bags of bait do you have to sell to make money back? This Zhou Xiaoli is too ruthless.
After returning home, Zhou Xiaoli assigned the guest room on the second floor to Katie and her boyfriend, leaving the master bedroom to Irene and herself. Hong Tao had full control over the sofa in the living room. After they all went upstairs to sleep, Hong Tao lay on the sofa.
His stomach felt a little bloated, but he couldn't bear to go to the toilet. It would be a big loss to keep something worth more than a thousand yuan in his stomach overnight.
Zhou Xiaoli hacked Hong Tao, and she hacked her hard. It had been half a month since she came to Toronto, and it was the first time Hong Tao spent so much money at once. But Zhou Xiaoli's venting behavior stopped here, she still had work to do.
, I can’t stay at home and watch Hong Tao all day long.
In fact, she had no intention of doing so. The relationship between her and Hong Tao was at best lovers, and it was mixed with work and business. It was unclear. No one would restrict the other too much. This is what two people can maintain.
The basis of this special relationship is that once someone crosses the border and tries to control the other person's behavior or thoughts, the already fragile connection will soon disintegrate, so Zhou Xiaoli does not intend to cross this dividing line, at least until she gets tired of Hong Tao.
Won't.
Hong Tao is also very clear about this woman's thoughts. Her act of tricking herself and letting her sleep on the sofa is just a manifestation of a woman's instinct. When there are males, females always have to protect their own interests, and vice versa. From then on,
Animals and people are all like this, unless you hate each other.
The Erin sisters are not fools. From the moment they met, they must have guessed part of the relationship between Zhou Xiaoli and Hong Tao, but they did not take these matters seriously. In their view, adults must handle it themselves.
These problems do not require parents to worry about, nor do friends need to interfere. It doesn't matter if you fail. If you fail a few times, you will be close to success. Failure is the mother of success.
Their vacation was very short, only 4 days not counting the day of traveling. Moreover, before they came, they had not planned where they wanted to go after arriving in Toronto. According to Katie, they would find the place with a map when they arrived.
No matter where you find it, planning a trip in advance is boring.
Hong Tao didn't like this. He was scurrying around like a headless fly. Not only did it increase the risk, he might not be able to eat well and have fun, and he wouldn't be able to use his time effectively. In fact, this was the difference in living habits and culture.
In the eyes of young people like Eileen, traveling is a very simple thing, just like going to the toilet, you can go anytime and anywhere. Therefore, they do not regard traveling as an important thing, nor do they regard traveling as a kind of fun.
Rather, it is regarded as a way to experience life, so the purpose is not strong. In the words we are familiar with, the emphasis is on participation.
On the contrary, we are just the opposite. The high life pressure and travel costs force us to treat travel as a hard-earned commodity, so we must cherish it and strive to make every detail the best so that we can make full use of this trip.
Get the most bang for your buck.
Hong Tao also wanted to go on this trip, but he didn't know where the fun was, so he couldn't provide any good suggestions and could only passively follow the arrangements. The two sisters Eileen and the black guy Jim were also a little undecided. The reason was not
I couldn't find a suitable ski resort, but there were too many ski resorts, and they all looked so formal and standard. For a while, these three young people couldn't unify their thoughts and understanding.
Snow is the third most abundant in Canada after air and water. Snow can be seen for most of the year, and people here regard skiing and skating as running and walking after meals.
Within a 2-hour drive around Toronto, you can find at least 10 large ski resorts, as well as countless small and medium-sized ski resorts. So if you want to play snow sports or ice sports, Canada is the right place.
"Come on, don't argue. I'd better ask the locals. We spent half a day and argued for 2 hours, but it's not as effective as what they said. After all, we all read the introduction online, and they have personal experience.
What do you think?" Seeing Katie and Erin arguing over the number and difficulty of the slopes in several ski resorts, Hong Tao quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. If the discussion continued like this, he would have to make lunch by himself.
Don't even think about leaving before dinner.
"Hong Tao is right. None of us have been there. Why don't we ask the locals here? Their opinions are the most valuable. Do you know the neighbors here?" Jim also had a headache.
What Ty and Erin said is worthless.
"We know each other. Not only do we know each other, but we are also friends. He took me fishing and shooting. He is a very good old man. Wait, I tricked him into asking." When Hong Tao mentioned Old Gale, he immediately seemed very proud. Zhou Xiaoli was there.
I have lived here for several years, and my relationship with the neighbors is at most the level of borrowing two eggs. However, I have already made friends after coming here for a few days. What does this mean? It means that we are very popular.
"This is your American friend, right? You definitely didn't ask me to come for lunch. Don't you feel ashamed to trick an old man with shredded pork?" When Hong Tao informed Old Gale on the phone, he came over quickly to eat Beijing sauce pork.
Not long after the death, old Gale walked into the door of Zhou Xiaoli's house. As soon as he entered the living room, the old man shook his head and revealed Hong Tao's conspiracy.
"How did you know?" Hong Tao didn't feel embarrassed at all because his lie was exposed. People like Old Gale and Pawei liked to play pranks. They liked to joke by nature and were never impatient.
"I saw the car parked in front of your house yesterday. It had an American license plate. Ladies, are you going to ask Captain Gale to do anything for you? You have found the right person. Don't listen to that.
The lies of Chinese people, except that he is good at cooking, everything else is like this." Old Gale acted like a young man in college at this time. When he saw the young girl, the wrinkles on his face were all smoothed out.
.
"Hello, we are friends of Hong Tao. My name is Irene, my sister Katie, and her boyfriend Jim. We are planning to find a place to ski, but we don't know where is more suitable. Hong Tao proposes to you
Come to ask for advice, he said you are a warm-hearted and good person." At this time, Irene returned to the good girl she was when she first arrived in China. It seems that this patent of talking to people and telling ghosts is not a Chinese patent.
Only people can play well.
"I'm Katie, hello Mr. Captain, your beard is so beautiful." Katie is more outspoken than her sister, and she dares to speak and act. God knows why the twins' personalities are so different.
