Chapter 341

"Mommy, I'm back." Miranda stepped forward and hugged her mommy gently, and kissed her face.

After letting go, he continued: "Mommy, this is my boyfriend Su, a wonderful Chinese boy, this is my good sister Avril, and also Su's girlfriend, Su, Avril, this is my mommy Meiwei S Eaton."

In European and American countries, after a woman gets married, she usually uses her husband's family name.

And if you go to someone's home as a guest, if it is not a special party (such as a masquerade party), ordinary dinner or festival, it is enough to dress decently.

Americans generally don't like black dresses, because only serious occasions and activities such as funerals will be filled with darkness.

"Su, hello." Mavis greeted first: "You can call me Mavis."

Since she said so, Su Chen also politely replied: "Hello Meivis, I'm Su, and it's my first visit."

"Welcome." Mevis smiled slightly, then took a step forward, and made a face-to-face ceremony with Avril: "When I saw you before, you were a little girl, but now you are so old, you can marry .”

"Mevis, I brought a gift today." Avril took out the flowers and wine in her hand, and said with a smile: "I still remember that you used to like tulips."

Mevis took it over and said with a smile: "This bouquet of flowers is really beautiful, just like you, Avril Lavigne, let's go into the house first."

Said, she walked in front, Su Chensan followed behind.

When he got inside, he happened to see Hugh Eaton coming out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

"I heard voices, so it's you guys who came." Hugh Eaton said, "Su, you came just in time. Quickly show Mavis your Chinese cooking skills."

Su Chen handed the calligraphy and painting in his hand to Miranda, and stood up. This time, it was related to the impression of Mevis on him, so he had to show his hand no matter what.

"Then I'll show off some Chinese food tonight."

Hugh Eaton walked up to him with a new apron in his hand, and tied the apron on him: "I will learn how to cook Chinese food with you, and then I can make some for Mavis when I have time."

"Daddy, these are the paintings and calligraphy that Su gave you." Miranda said, "Do you want to appreciate them first or cook first?"

"Appreciate first, to be honest, I've always wanted to hang a pair of Chinese calligraphy and paintings in my study." Hugh Eaton said with a smile, "It just happened that Su sent it today, but let me tell you first, if the writing is not good-looking, I don't want it. "

This sentence is of course a joke. With his identity, it is not difficult to buy a pair of Chinese calligraphy and paintings. He may even reveal such an idea a little, and someone will send it to his door.

Several people opened the calligraphy and painting Su Chen brought in the living room.

Su Chen explained: "These four characters are called Tranquility and Zhiyuan. The study room is a place where the heart can live and the heart is free. At the same time, it is also a symbol of a person's exquisite life, a ladder of character and accomplishment, and the perfection of spiritual pursuit. , I think it would be most suitable to hang in Eaton's study."

"Okay!" Eaton said with a smile on his face: "I just like your Chinese culture. A few words can express a lot of meaning. I must hang this picture in my study."

Then open the second one.

After reading the words above, Eaton said, "I know these two words. It's called Shede. I don't know what it means?"

Su Chen said: "In the study, you can light a pipe. In the space that belongs to you, there is no utilitarian struggle, only to enjoy the peace and freedom of the heart."

"This is not bad." Mevis nodded, agreeing: "When he comes back from get off work, he usually hides in the study and smokes a pipe before resting. This is the most suitable gift for him."

Then he said, "Su, you only gave him calligraphy and painting, so why not just give me a bottle of wine and a bouquet of flowers?"

Of course, this sentence did not imply any blame, it was a very friendly tone, with an attitude of accepting Su Chen.

Anyway, raw rice becomes popcorn, if she disagrees, Su Chen has nothing to lose.

"Mevis, how could I miss you? This one is for you."

Open the third one.

"This painting is called the place where winding paths lead to seclusion. I hope I can use this charming brushwork, classical colors, and elegant pictures of mountains and rivers to relax you physically and mentally, and give you a beautiful enjoyment." Su Chen explained.

Mevis immediately had a look of astonishment on his face, and then his eyes lit up.

"Oh my god, I love this painting, it's so good! Thank you."

Although Su Chen is not as proficient in calligraphy and painting as the ancients, and not as good as Mr. Zhu in the capital, it is still possible to write a few words to fool others.

And I have also studied landscape painting, even if I can't be judged by everyone, I can show it a little bit.

Eaton patted Su Chen on the shoulder: "Su, I have to say, buddy, you managed to win Mavis's favor, come on, let's show you something next."

After putting away the calligraphy and painting, Su Chen and Yi Dun went to work in the kitchen.

By the way, teach Eaton how to cook Chinese food.

"You can't cut the vegetables so thickly, it won't taste good." Su Chen demonstrated it to Eaton, and couldn't help complaining that American kitchens don't have kitchen knives.

You must know that many Chinese chefs have made their way into the world with a kitchen knife. Although there are many knives in American kitchens, they do not take advantage of them.

While Su Chen and Eaton were busy in the kitchen, Mevis was also chatting with Miranda Avril. They didn't know what they were talking about, and cheerful laughter came from time to time.

After instructing Eaton for a while, Su Chen sighed: "Or, let me do it."

When he saw Eaton cutting potatoes as thick as fingers, he knew that if Eaton helped chop vegetables tonight, he would probably have to eat supper.

Eaton was not annoyed, and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, but it's okay if I watch from the sidelines?"

This is of course no problem.

Without Eaton's help, Su Chen's speed is naturally very fast.

In just a short while, a stir-fried potato shreds has been prepared.

Eaton was in charge of serving the dishes.

After working for a while, Su Chen made six simple side dishes and a pot of soup.

It's all simple. If it's complicated, it's probably not so fast.

After bringing the food to the table, Eaton said, "Come on, we can try Chinese food today. To be honest, I haven't tasted good Chinese food since I came back from Boston."

"Su's cooking skills are good. Just by smelling it, I already want to eat it." Meiweis said with a smile: "You two girls, no wonder I said that you are gaining weight. So you have been eating Su's food all the time."

Miranda opened a bottle of wine and poured several glasses in turn.

Eaton said: "Su is Chinese and has his own beliefs, so we don't pray before meals, but directly taste Su's cooking skills."

Although it was just a few simple side dishes, Eaton and Mevis were full of praise. They didn't know whether it was really delicious or a compliment. Anyway, in the end, all the food was wiped out.

After eating and drinking, Mavis started to clean up the dishes, Miranda and Avril helped.

Eaton called Su Chen to the study.

"Su, this time I called you to New York, besides coming to my house for dinner, there is another thing..."
