Since I don’t have money to go to college, I have no choice but to slay dragons. Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh: the gold content of the literature department
Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh: the gold content of the literature department
Tonight, the first dish served at Beiqi Mansion's Private Kitchen is the signature appetizer 'braised foie gras with shallots and Italian ten-year-old vinegar', which is a representative French delicacy. In order to enjoy the dinner, Boss Chen generously gave Su
My father’s family opened a bottle of Gewürztraminer wine from a private collection in the underground wine cellar of the mansion, claiming that it was a gift from the store to celebrate Mother Su’s birthday.
Regardless of whether it was intentional or not, this gift was indeed put to good use. The vintage sweet wine paired with Italian vinegar perfectly suppressed the light fishy smell of foie gras, and the sweet and sour Gewürztraminer played an appetizing role.
, which can be regarded as a good start to the whole dining experience.
Under the glazed chandelier, the entire main dining hall was illuminated with splendor. The gold-dusted lamp wall seemed to imbue the entire room with a graceful and luxurious atmosphere. Just below the hall lamp, a white tablecloth without any wrinkles or stains was spread on the round table.
On the table, the "Dunhuang Flying Immortals" is overprinted on the tablecloth. The price of this one-time use tablecloth is enough to buy a good meal in a big restaurant outside, and it is also enough to show what Boss Chen said this time.
Top specs' are no longer a gimmick.
Even Miss Chen was standing by the dining table holding a wine bottle. Boss Chen was the head of the private kitchen, so naturally the daughter of the boss could stay in the name of serving the guests with wine.
Normally, Ms. Chen would be irritated by this kind of work, but it was different today. Even if Boss Chen didn't take the initiative to suggest this, she would take the initiative to invite Ying to the main hall to find an excuse to stay. After all, tonight's dinner is so interesting.
"The first dish after the appetizers, Feixian is cooked and intoxicated with the view of Yangcheng Lake." The chef brought the dishes to the table. Dry ice and white mist continued to overflow from the jade porcelain flower plate, which dimly illuminated the Dunhuang on the tablecloth under the hall lamp.
The reflection of light and shadow on the flying fairy picture combined with the rotating table really makes it feel like the flying fairy has come to life, and it just so happens that the name of the dish has the word flying fairy, which is not out of place.
"Hairy crabs?" Su's father's eyes lit up. Whether before or after he became rich, crabs have always been his favorite. Private dishes such as private dishes are all customized by the mansion, so every time they are served.
Surprised, he looked at the chef and asked, "I probably understand the meaning of Yangcheng Lake View, but what does Feixian mean?"
"This is cooked drunken crab cooked with Guizhou 1499 Feitian Moutai wine, Zhejiang Shaoxing Huadiao and secret spices. For the hairy crabs, we use the crab source provided by the most famous Dade Crab House in Yangcheng Lake, Kunshan. We pay attention to nine things when eating crabs.
There are ten males and females, but in August the hairy crabs are already plump and sticky, so only special channels can get the first batch of fat crabs,” the chef explained,
"Our Beiqi Mansion has always cooperated with the Jiang family, the most famous aquatic industry in Kunshan, so we can provide the highest standards of food and drink at banquets. You can talk about what kind of crabs are eaten on the boat on Yangcheng Lake in September and October?
We can get some crabs right here."
"Kunshan is really good, but I haven't heard much about the Jiangjia aquatic products you mentioned. When I traveled there before, I always ate at Jinjia's Dade Crab Restaurant, and the painted boat in the middle of the lake is so old-fashioned! Everyone should have it.
You have to make a motorboat to get up there! In autumn, when you sit on the bow of the boat in the evening and eat crabs and enjoy the scenery, what do you call Mu and Muyun?" Su's father suddenly stopped talking in the middle of his casual bragging.
When Lin Nian was cutting foie gras, he subconsciously answered the question for him, "Muyun Sihe, sunset melting gold?"
"Oh, yes, yes, this sentence was written in ink on the boat. I forgot about it after being away for so long." Father Su's eyes lit up and he gave Lin Nian a thumbs up, "Young people are more educated.
I have a good memory."
"Poetry by Li Qingzhao?" Su Xiaoqiang said, sitting on Lin Nian's right side.
"'Yong Yu Le', I saw it before when I was memorizing two thousand ancient poems in high school." Lin Nian explained as he picked up the eight pieces of crab that came with the first hot dish.
"Why are you memorizing that thing? Aren't the classical Chinese essays and formulas you learned in high school enough to memorize?"
"I wasn't sensible in high school, I just played behind my back." Lin Nian said casually. He didn't want to explain that it was a by-product of what he had casually jotted down when he was doing his 'daily life' before he came into contact with Kassel Academy. Not to mention two thousand ancient poems.
Well, he just memorized pi when he had nothing to do, and now he can still remember more than 80,000 digits, which is more than the 20,000 digits held by Guinness World Records in 2006. It's a pity that Guinness World Records doesn't have any bonuses, otherwise he would
My house is already full of trophies.
"Have you always loved studying so much in Xiaonian? I heard from Xiaoqiang before that you were among the best in high school. You were also the top pick in the high school entrance examination and were specially recruited to Shilan to get a scholarship. Now you can adapt to that kind of happy education in an American university.
Is it a good atmosphere?" Mother Su held eight crab pieces in her right hand and dexterously disassembled the hairy crabs.
Here we go again. The faces of the people at the table were still there, but the eyes of Ms. Chen standing in the corner of the room suddenly became sharp.
Only a woman can understand a woman. Her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law told her that Father Su has been eliminated from the list of the biggest threats on the table. Although Father Su is the core of the Su family, the real blade is actually controlled by Mother Su.
. Now this question seems to be just a casual greeting about the study situation and living environment, but in fact it hides a huge conspiracy.
The average son-in-law would probably interpret "Can you adapt to the atmosphere of happy education?" as the mother-in-law is just testing his adaptability, and derived from this the answer that he is adaptable and can live comfortably in the Su family in the future. But this is actually
This is extremely wrong!
This question is not asking about "adaptability" at all. It is a trap question. The real scoring point is the "motivation" hidden behind the surface!
What is the most important thing for a son-in-law to his mother-in-law and his family? Of course, it is to be able to take good care of his daughter and take responsibility for supporting them. Even if they live separately in the future, a qualified son-in-law must have the strong capital to send money back to the wife's natal family from time to time.
.
To say the least, even if the Su family has a great business and does not need alimony, and the daughter of the Su family does not need support, then when President Su abdicates, he will inevitably need close relatives to take over the huge mining empire! The number one leader will definitely be this person.
It’s a “little year”, and if you are not motivated in this “little year”, the results will be disastrous!
The first question entered the assessment of the prospective son-in-law, and the question was so cunning and hidden, can he be said to be Mr. Su's beloved wife? She is indeed a good woman who can accompany her man to work hard outside!
"" Faced with this problem, Lin Nian suddenly had a headache.
Can he adapt to the happy education offered by American universities?
It is said that the learning atmosphere at Kassel College is indeed quite happy. After all, under the reforms promoted by Angers and a certain school director, Kassel Manor has changed from a former military fortress to the current college, which pursues a meritocratic system.
The college pays attention to a system of free-range breeding of Gu!
Regarding: "Elites will always shine and attract people around them to become natural leaders!" The principal firmly believes in this argument, and his laissez-faire attitude towards the academic style is not ordinary, so much so that there was even a free-day shootout. Normally
In school, as long as you can complete your credits and prepare your thesis before the end of the semester, no one will bother you no matter how much you play or skip classes.
Speaking of happy education, it is indeed quite happy, but it is limited to ordinary students.
For students like Lin Nian and Chu Zihang, happy education has basically nothing to do with them, because while other senior students are busy studying for credits and falling in love, they are all busy with the tasks of the execution department.
This kind of hard work that leaves people with blood on the ground has nothing to do with "happiness". (In other words, when he received the subsidy from the execution department, he was very happy for a short while)
Finding that Lin Nian's expression was a little different, Su Xiaoqiang subconsciously wanted to cough to help him out, but her wise daughter Mo Ruomu had just raised her swan-white neck to say something, Su's mother had already smiled and put the new crispy
A piece of fried eel with white sturgeon caviar was stuffed into Su Xiaoqiang's mouth.
"Does Auntie know the situation of our 'foreign school' very well?" Lin Nian tactfully tested it. He didn't know how much contact Su Xiaoqiang had with her family. In his case, he even packed up his sister.
of school.
There is a confidentiality agreement for parents of students at Kassel Academy. If the agreement is signed in accordance with the rules and regulations and approved by the executive department, parents of students are allowed to know some inside information to a certain extent.
"I remember your school is Kassel College? It's a member of the Ivy League. Your aunt and I also studied in a foreign university. Or maybe my aunt is even a foreigner!" Mother Su said.
"?" Lin Nian subconsciously looked up at Su's mother's pretty, young face.
"Don't you see? I am of mixed Portuguese and Chinese descent. Although I spent a lot of effort to become a Chinese citizen in the early years, I also graduated from Dartmouth College. How could I not understand the education of foreign schools?
Situation." Su's mother said with a smile.
"Auntie is Portuguese?" Lin Nian was stunned for a moment.
"O vie, n?o é port." Mother Su suddenly said, putting down the eight pieces of crab in her hand, folding her hands and looking at Lin Nian with an elegant smile.
"é tudo a mesma oisa para mi m." Lin Nian paused, and then replied with a syllable that was also convoluted for Chinese people. This made everyone at the table startled, including Miss Chen standing in the corner.
Somewhat confused.
"Do you know Portugal?" Su Xiaoqiang said unexpectedly after swallowing the caviar and fried eel. After that, he stared at Lin Nian and licked his pink lips, not knowing what he was craving for.
"Learned a little bit." Lin Nian nodded slightly. In order to cope with the business trip of the executive department all over the world, he had basically learned most of the mainstream languages. He was not very professional, but at least there was no problem in normal conversation.
"I haven't heard you speak Portuguese for a long time, my wife. What did you just say?" Su's father asked curiously.
"We were just chatting about the food and wine." Su's mother smiled, "It seems that I have a lot of knowledge in the language! Did you learn it in college?"
"Yes, but Auntie's Chinese is also very fluent, at least much more fluent than most people in our school." Lin Nian sincerely praised that at least so far, the Chinese of the student union president still has a strong dialect flavor, although the college
Chinese is prevalent here, but as one of the most difficult languages, speaking Chinese without an accent is as difficult as killing a third-generation breeder (Lin Nian-style metaphor).
"It doesn't matter who taught your Aunt Su Chinese." Father Su said proudly, "Did you really not see that your Aunt Su is Portuguese before?"
"No." Lin Nian said honestly.
"It's just good makeup. When I came to China, I could only exchange fashion ideas with a group of Chinese best friends and old aunts. Over time, my outfits and aesthetics became Chinese-style." Mother Su waved her hand.
"Have you never thought about why my Xiaoqiang is so beautiful? It's all because of her mother! As a father, I am the one holding back!" Su's father burst out laughing.
Lin Nian turned to look at Su Xiaoqiang, and found that Su Xiaoqiang was also looking sideways at him. The light and shadow under the golden hall lamp were like the carving knife in the hand of an engraver, which outlined the delicate facial features bit by bit. The thin golden light and powder-rubbed
The ruddy color is combined with the warmth of an oriental beauty. It’s no wonder that Su Xiaoqiang has been ranked first on the dream lover list of Shilan Middle School boys for a long time. Stable Chen Wenwen and Liu Miaomiao are the same, and you are also a "mixed race"!
"Most of the Portuguese-Chinese people have Asian genetic advantages. Just like Michelle Reis, our old Su family has very strong genes." Su's father immediately brightened up when talking about this, "I was in college back then.
When I chased Xiaoqiang's mother, I almost didn't recognize that she was a foreigner. When I started chatting with her, she spoke Portuguese, but I was completely confused. Later I found out that she was an exchange student from Dartmouth, and I became interested.
It’s getting thicker, no matter what, I have to pick off the brightest star in the school!”
The more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became. Su's father almost started to slap his thigh, but his thigh was pinched by Su's mother in advance. He gasped in pain and immediately calmed down.
"I heard that your relationship with Xiaoqiang gradually got better in college. Is it you who is chasing Xiaoqiang or Xiaoqiang who is chasing you?" Su's mother skipped the previous topic and continued to raise new topics while unraveling the crabs.
Ms. Chen in the corner nodded very dedicatedly and approved of Su's mother's continued offensive.
The previous problem of self-motivation has been quietly resolved by this kid. Being able to be proficient in Portuguese at this age is either an accident or a true genius of the language, and the learning ability is particularly strong. Generally speaking, such a strong learner who can use it can be motivated.
Not too bad at heart!
There is also a possibility.
Miss Chen looked at Lin Nian's back with sharp eyes. Could it be that this son-in-law who came to the door had investigated Su's mother's situation, and then pretended not to know about it and came to make a big splash? Is he a fool or a scheming bitch? She is confident that she will take over.
You can smell it keenly within the next three or four conversations.
"There will always be sacrifices and contributions in the process of the formation of something like emotion, just like people on both sides place emotional weights. When the two are balanced countless times and the scale overflows and the tray knocks over the table. People on both sides can
Take your eyes away from the scales and see each other, and then it will be a natural thing." Lin Nian said, "There is no question of who is chasing whom, only two people noticed each other coming together at the same time."
"Not bad, not bad." Mother Su's eyes lit up and she said with praise.
"As expected of Kassel, he is so talented!" Su's father showed off the temperament of an old mine owner, a pure rough man, the purest comment and the ultimate affirmation.
"Who taught you to say that?" Even Su Xiaoqiang blushed and leaned towards Lin Nian and asked softly.
Lin Nian didn't answer, just looked at her and smiled softly. The latter paused and immediately looked away. The two thighs and knees in the skirt covered by the tablecloth rubbed lightly, her cheeks were blushing, and her neck was pink.
I can't say it.
Smiling Lin Nian saw that Su Xiaoqiang had been successfully dealt with, and silently turned his head to look at the food table, with a trace of unexplainable emotion in his eyes.
I can’t say it, I can’t say it at all!
One day, he actually stole a fragment of Lu Mingfei's love letter to Chen Wenwen.
The humiliation of the Literature Department that he once ridiculed actually saved him from disaster. Is this the value of Lu Mingfei who has been in the Literature Department for three years? I really don’t know what Lu Mingfei did when he was so full of sourness that he could write a fantasy novel about youth love.
It’s really puzzling that even Chen Wenwen can’t pick up one.
—
"Sneeze!" Lu Mingfei suddenly raised his head and put down his hand from the keyboard. He looked around with vigilance. He saw that it was still a familiar room, with the familiar snores of his fat little cousin floating in the air, and the familiar sounds of "StarCraft" in his headphones.
villain's response
But why did he suddenly feel a chill? This feeling was as chilling as the time when he bumped into the Dragon King in the mud when he went down to Kuimen.
...It can’t be that someone is scolding him secretly, right? And he’s scolding him every word! He thought.
