Chapter 226 Returning Home (Part 2)
To be honest, Migliaccio has never seen a player who is particularly good at cooking.
But when he saw Eggsy in the kitchen skillfully cutting various vegetables and meats, then skillfully mixing sauces, marinating various ingredients, and even easily putting various snacks and roast chicken, roast steak, and roast lamb chops into the oven and setting the time, he was really speechless.
So skilled, so skilled that Miliaccio even doubted whether his boss was a cook?
Without looking up, Eggsy skillfully placed the fried fish on the prepared plate, and skillfully poured the sauce from the small pot on it. Then he picked up the other half of the stewed vegetables and the other meat and placed them on the plate.
The delicious meal made by Eggsy made Miliaccio suddenly feel a little confused, but Eggsy did not let his doubts last, and instead started talking himself.
"I cooked with the maids when I was a child. There were many children in the orphanage at that time, and the maids couldn't take care of them all." Eggsy dug out fresh lemons, added other fruits, then turned on the juicer and used a cup with ice cubes and ice cream to collect the juice.
"When I grew up, I worked in a restaurant," Eggsy didn't like to talk when he was working, but he thought Migliaccio would probably not be able to help asking, so he just said it himself: "I don't like to change places, so you see, I worked as an assistant in a restaurant for 3 years, and of course I learned to cook."
After less than 40 minutes of preparation by Eggsy, the meal for him and Miliaccio was ready. Miliaccio sat at the small table in the kitchen with Eggsy. He looked at the fish, lamb chops and other stews in front of him and suddenly felt a little confused.
The fragrance that came to his face really made him confused!
This kid has such great skills. If he really stopped playing football and studying to be a scientific researcher, he would probably open a restaurant and people would flock to it, right?
Miliaccio found the dinner delicious, but the more delicious it was, the more confused he became. He wondered what he would do if he couldn't eat it anymore. He took a bite and thought again, how could he find an excuse to bring his family here to eat for free?
And Eggsy didn't plan to take a break today. He was busy processing the vegetables he bought. He marinated the meat and put it in a large double-door refrigerator. Migliaccio was envious of this and said that Eggsy's house would be hosting many teammates tomorrow and he could come over to help.
How could Eggsy not know that Migliaccio was not here to help? He was clearly here to eat for free. He understood this even more after seeing Migliaccio's short and fat body, and how he even ate all the leftovers in Eggsy's pot after finishing his own portion.
But this is not enough. Eggsy can only cook the main dishes, but he can't cook other cold dishes. And he has to be with his teammates, who will cook the dishes?
Just when Eggsy was thinking about whether to call some of the hotel's servants, his teammates gave him some advice. For example, the Spanish teammates called Eggsy because they were annoyed by the things happening in their country.
"Son, when dad comes to your house tomorrow, there shouldn't be anyone else, right?"
"Don't call me kid!" Eggsy answered the phone, and was a little puzzled by Ramos' voice, and then asked: "Others? No, what's going on with you guys?"
Ramos was working out on the other end of the phone, and he didn't quite understand Eggsy's doubts until Eggsy said it wasn't just Ramos, Marcelo had called to ask if there were other people coming to Eggsy's house tomorrow. Even if Eggsy was dumb, he could tell something was amiss.
"The World Cup is coming soon, but we will all talk about these things when we get together tomorrow." Ramos knew that Eggsy had not experienced these things, so he patiently explained: "If there are some other people around, they will wear it out, which is not good at all."
Eggsy understood now. Ramos sometimes said that being a player was a last resort. Migliaccio also told him that being a player off the court might be more difficult than being on the court. Now he had a sense of agreement with this statement.
He had never been involved in these world-class competitions before when he was in the Foxes. Now it seems... well, it's not easy. You know, his first lesson in the national team was to tell these players that no matter whether it was the last World Cup in South Africa or this World Cup in Russia, the first thing they had to do was to take good care of their bodies.
It turns out that in every World Cup, there are always players who suffer from poor health due to unfamiliar climate or diet, and some teams are even more unlucky when the whole team catches a cold. And this time the World Cup is in Russia, so it's good that they go in the summer, but they still have to take care of their health.
Ramos didn't mention at all about Eggsy's previous sneaking away to the national team on the phone. He just told Eggsy not to allow outsiders to come tomorrow and that they could help if Eggsy was too busy.
After receiving such a promise, Eggsy relaxed.
The next morning he simply prepared all the cold dishes and then served the meat.
To be honest, Eggsy had only stayed in this house for one night, and he himself was a little confused about where the BBQ stove on the first floor was. As a result, he walked around twice with a large plate of beef before he found a path behind the swimming pool, and then walked to a BBQ stove made of pebbles.
Eggsy looked back at his own house. It was quiet and cozy, and many places were very nice. The more he looked at the scenery around here, the more he liked it.
Since there is a forest nearby, it is easy to check the firewood. The pebbles have separated the BBQ area from the forest 5 meters away. There are also benches made of fallen tree trunks, which are cute.
Eggsy was here preparing the barbecue equipment for today, and soon he heard the doorbell ringing. Eggsy walked back while wondering who would be the first to come?
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a bald man in a suit, Zidane.
Eggsy's eyes lit up when he saw Zidane, not because of his bald head, but because of what Zidane was holding in his hand.
"What is this?" Zidane handed Eggsy a slightly larger envelope in his hand. Eggsy looked at the golden envelope and of course couldn't understand it. Zidane followed Eggsy in and closed the door to look at Eggsy's house.
"This is a nice place, why don't you open the envelope and take a look first." Zidane was touring the interior while persuading Eggsy to open the envelope. After saying this, Zidane looked like he was observing Eggsy's house, but in fact he was still glancing at Eggsy's reaction from time to time.
Since Zidane said so, Eggsy would open it, but before opening it, he was still thinking, could it be a check? The head coach couldn't have given him a check, right? So he took a closer look at the letter, and felt that although it was not heavy, it was larger than an ordinary envelope, and the paper of the envelope was also very particular.
Eggsy walked into the living room, unwrapping the edge of the envelope as he walked. When he opened it, Eggsy took a special look and found that his name was written on the letter, but the signature was the Italian "Torino Sports Daily".
Eggsy was really confused when he saw it, but after he opened it, he was completely confused!
