Chapter 1317 This woman’s eyes are not right!
If Seryosha's private residence just looked "oversized" from the outside, Li Ye and Lao Shao would not know what to say after they entered the main house.
Not to mention that there were so many rooms that it was easy to get lost. Just looking at the dazzling and gorgeous chandeliers, the thick and soft carpets, and the precisely decorated walls adorned with various oil paintings and artworks made Li Ye wonder if he was a country bumpkin.
After all, Li Ye was a man who owned a luxurious manor in Dengta. When he bought the manor, the former owner also boasted about how great his manor was.
But compared with Seryosha's villa, Li Ye's manor is not as good as a cowshed compared to a mansion, but it can indeed be called "affordable".
By the time everyone arrived at the restaurant, Li Ye had become immune to the silver knives and forks, artistic tableware, and standing servants.
[They are the remnants of the Tsar, and we are the successors of XXism. If we can’t compare, then we can’t compare! ]
But after everyone started eating and chatting, Li Ye almost couldn't help but complain.
It would be fine if you said you were developing into a future oligarch, but you also expressed strong "confusion" and "heartache" about the future of this country. Isn't that too much of a contrast?
Seryosha said: "When Sofia, Sun and I were in school, we already realized the drawbacks of the planned economy.
But we still thought that our red color would never fade, and as long as we united again, we could dominate the world together. But now, we can't sleep all night, not knowing where the future will lead us."
Sofia also sighed and said, "In fact, our situation has become difficult since the past few years. The situation in Moscow is better. In my mother's hometown, people's lives have already been in trouble, but we still don't believe that we will come to this day."
“.”
Li Ye lowered his head, looking at the new dish, not knowing how to respond.
This dish is so famous among the flower growers that he has never eaten it in his two lifetimes.
But now, he is eating in a place where "people's lives are in trouble."
Well, this dish is called bear’s paw, the bear’s paw that you can’t have your cake and eat it too.
Li Ye had heard of bear paws cooked in the European style, and today he finally saw it for himself.
The red soup and yellow braised pork trotters seemed not as appetizing as the braised pork trotters, especially when Seryosha and Sofia were still there "feeling compassion for the world".
Fortunately, Lao Shao, the liaison team leader, was very experienced and he immediately livened up the atmosphere with a smile.
He pointed at the bear paw on the table and said, "Today we followed Comrade Sun Xianjin here to express our greetings and goodwill to you two, but you are so polite that we are a little flattered."
Seryosha smiled and said, "This is not politeness, this is sincerity. When we went to school with Sun, he cooked for us personally, allowing Sofia and I to taste the special food of the flower-growing family. I still remember the deliciousness of that time.
But Sun said that he was just a bad cook and that real Chinese food had a taste that could not be expressed in words, so I started preparing these dishes after I knew he was on the plane, and it was just right at this time."
Seryosha also pointed to the bear paw on the table and said, "Sun told us about this dish in detail at that time, saying that this dish is also very precious in your flower-growing family. He also told us a lot of stories about this dish, such as that you can only eat the right hand and not the left hand, and the reason is very interesting."
“.”
Li Ye turned to look at Sun Xianjin, thinking, "So it was you, a greedy bear, who did this! When you go back and write a report, I'll ask you to write my copy for me."
The look Sun Xianjin gave Li Ye was also very interesting. He probably thought, "Brother, I was just bragging, but who knew they took it seriously?"
However, according to rumors, bears do eat the right paw instead of the left, because bears like to eat honey and lick their paws after eating.
Most bears are right-handed, so they tend to lick their right paws out of habit. Bears are fattest when they are hibernating, and their paws are also the fattest.
When they are sleeping, they will plug their anus with their left palm and put their right palm to their mouth. They will lick their right palm in their dreams, as if they can taste the taste of honey. After a long time, their right palm will be licked very plump and tender.
But the left hand cannot be eaten, because it blocks the bar, and all the farts in the winter are blocked in the left hand. Therefore, when flower growers eat bear paws, they eat the right hand, not the left hand.
But some people say that this saying was made up by hunters in ancient times to raise the price of bear paws. In fact, there is no difference between the left and right paws.
But no matter what, the more bizarrely you make some things sound, the more they seem to have heritage and culture, and the more suitable they are for fooling those barbarians and bumpkins.
At this point, Xie Liaosha suddenly asked Li Ye: "Mr. Li, after receiving the news that Sun was coming, I specially prepared this dish. Do you think this dish is satisfactory?"
[I haven't eaten this dish, why are you asking me? Am I going to say that it's not much different from pig's trotters? ]
Li Ye didn't know why Xie Liaosha asked him. Obviously, his position was after Sun Xianjin and Lao Shao.
But he certainly couldn't show his weakness, so he said: "We, the flower-growing people, have a tradition of eating bear paws for at least two thousand years, but we usually don't eat them fresh, we eat them dried.
However, in recent years, bears in our country have become protected animals, and bear paws are becoming increasingly rare, resulting in the process of foaming dried goods being almost lost.
This is like many things in a country, which are constantly changing. The delicacies of the past may not continue to be popular now, and the changes now do not necessarily have to follow the previous traditions.
“.”
Li Ye's words were so mysterious that the translator rolled his eyes. Finally, it was Sun Xianjin who spoke a lot of gibberish before Seryosha and Sophia finally understood.
A look of desolation appeared on Seryosha's face: "Yes, as time goes by, a lot of the past glory will fade and be lost. What we should focus on is where the future is going."
When Li Ye saw that Xie Liaosha was in an agitated mood, he guessed that he had fallen into the state of "worrying about the country and the people" again, so he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank with him, making him even more worried.
The Mao people were not afraid of drinking competitions. Xie Liaosha immediately became excited and drank one cup after another with Li Ye.
Then the more he drank, the more surprised he became, and the more frightened he became. Finally, he had to hint to Sophia to help him quickly, otherwise the image of the Damao family as a man would be shattered.
After Sophia and Li Ye had a few drinks, their eyes started to become blurry.
"Li, do you know? When we were in school, Sun once told us that he had a classmate who magically predicted that our country would decline. Because of this statement, Seryosha had a fight with Sun, and then we became good friends.
But we really don’t believe that the great Sue will come to this day, so can you tell me how you knew that our country would collapse.”
Li Ye looked at Sun Xianjin speechlessly.
[How can you, a dog, say anything nonsense? ]
When Li Ye was in college, his class often had discussions about the world situation, and the arguments were so heated that they became red in the face.
After all, this is a world economy major! It is normal to discuss with each other, so Li Ye can't help but express some opinions implicitly.
It's just that although he thought he was being very "subtle", it was still shocking to some people.
Su E's decline was obvious. Li Ye's teacher Zhang Qiyan had also said something similar. But now the way Sophia looked at Li Ye made him feel a little uneasy.
[This woman's eyes are not right! ]
