Reborn Shanshui Family

Chapter 97
Li Jiabin and Li Jiajie supported Uncle De from left to right to open the door and entered the house, and said, "Uncle De, it's getting cold, I'll bring you two pieces of clothes, both of which I bought from China, very nice."

After hearing this, Uncle De was rarely in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Then I have to see it!" For him, China was a memory from a long time ago. In the United States, he felt very sad when he heard about China's backwardness all day long. In addition to the splendid traditional Chinese culture, what else can Li Jiabin admire?

In fact, Uncle De and Li Jiabin did not have much contact, but when Li Jiabin entered the Caltex auction house, there were many Chinese antiques in it. He didn't understand, so he came to Chinatown for advice, and then he met Uncle De.

Uncle De doesn't hide his secrets, he knows everything, and he can talk endlessly. Li Jiabin is also smart, and he quickly got started. After two years of training, he is proficient and avoided a few times of misleading.At the same time, he made a lot of money by using the simple knowledge he learned.

Li Jiabin and Li Jiajie are orphans, and Uncle De is also alone, so they come and go and become closer.Regardless of whether Li Jiabin, Li Jiajie is abroad, or working, when they come back, they will never forget to visit Uncle De.The relationship between a teacher and a friend made them feel more concerned.

Seeing the Tang suit designed with Chinese elements, Uncle De liked it very much, and said with a smile: "This dress is good, I will change it right away!"

Thick purple Tang suit, sweater inside, black stylish trousers, Uncle De is full of energy.Lao He went home and talked to the old woman, and brought some fruits to eat.

Seeing Uncle De standing in front of the full-length mirror and taking pictures, he kept praising and said: "Not bad, not bad, this dress is energetic!"

"Brother De, your clothes look good, didn't Jiabin Jiajie buy them for you?" Old He said enviously, Jiabin and Jiajie are not Uncle De's children, but they are more filial than children.

"I didn't buy it, but it was sold in Jiabin's store. I have another one. If you like it, I'll give it to you." Uncle De laughed.

"This is what you said, and you can't go back on it." Lao He rubbed his hands. There was no woman in Uncle De's house, so he took off his clothes and changed directly. "This is a brown Tang suit. I kept looking in the mirror, "Brother De, I I don't take advantage of you, I only have one month's meals, and I will cover them. "

"That's what you said!" Uncle De was happy. In this street, Lao He was not afraid of the scar on his face, and got very close to him, so with Lao He's help, he got along well with the Chinese around him.

Li Jiabin and Li Jiajie heard that the two old people looked like old children, and they were comparing who looked better in clothes, crisp and warm.

Li Jiabin bought pork belly, cut it into mahjong-sized pieces, marinated it a bit, stir-fried scallions, ginger and sunflowers, then added hot water, simmered in low heat, lotus root pork ribs soup, green pepper beef tenderloin, a braised fish, mapo tofu , Fried a piece of lettuce and green vegetables.

After about four or ten minutes, Li Jiabin and Li Jiajie finally came out of the kitchen and brought the food to the dining table. Uncle He, who had just put on new clothes and showed off, came out from the dressing mirror, sniffed, and said, "How does this dish smell?" Is it more delicious than the one made by my chef?"

Uncle De shook his head and said with a smile: "Your father came to the United States in the early years, and you and your son also grew up in the United States. The fried dishes can still taste like Chinese food. ?”

Uncle He sneered and said, "Hehe, that's true. Even our relatives who came to invite us from China said that what we did was not authentic. Even if she did it, she felt that it was different from the family in China."

While arranging the dishes, Li Jiabin said, "Maybe it's because of the ingredients. I brought them back from China."

"Well, this is the reason, hey, although I am Chinese, I have never been to China, I really want to go back and see.

Li Jiabin smiled and said: "The current domestic environment is very good, especially the economic environment. We Chinese are very popular as buyers when we go back. The security environment is even more stable. If you walk outside at night, you will be fine. "

"Hearing what you said, I really want to go back and have a look." Old He said with a smile.

Uncle De didn't speak, but there was expectation in his eyes, and he said, "Why don't we go to China when the weather gets warmer?"

"Okay, I have been busy all my life, and I should look around. Especially in China, when people get old, they want to return to their roots for some reason." Lao He said with emotion.

Fallen leaves return to their roots?Uncle De was in a daze. Can he really return to his roots as a fallen leaf?
Old He didn't feel Uncle De's loss, and said: "The food is ready, hurry up and eat, the taste is so delicious, I'm going to drool."

Uncle De put away his disappointment and said with a smile: "Eat it while it's hot."

Old He and Uncle De didn't look like old people at all. Li Jiabin and Li Jiajie were stunned for a moment when their chopsticks were flying like flying. There were a lot less dishes on the plate, so they joined the team of grabbing food. If you don't grab it, you will be hungry. . "

After Lao He finished his meal and picked his teeth with a bamboo toothpick, he remembered that he was still wearing new clothes. He even forgot to take back the old clothes he had changed out of, and hurried home to show off.

Li Jiabin took out the wild camellia tea brought back from Qin Qing's house, and said, "Uncle De, this is the wild tea my friend picked from the mountain. It tastes very good, but it's a bit bitter at first, and it leaves a lingering aftertaste after swallowing it."

"Then I really want to try it." Uncle De said with a smile. When I first met Li Jiabin, I really didn't expect this cold person to have a soft heart.He just taught him some knowledge about antiques, but he didn't expect him to remember this kindness.Later, a boy was brought back, only to realize that both of them grew up in an orphanage, and they helped each other grow up to become talents, so they couldn't help but give them another high-level look.

The wild tea, which is a bit dark in color, floats over with the curling heat under the brewing of hot water.This faint and elegant taste seemed to open up Uncle De's long-closed memory.

"Where did you bring this?" Uncle De stammered.

"It's my partner, in a county town of YN Province in the southwest of China." Li Jiabin replied, "But that city is quite famous. Jin Yong's "Dragon Babu" once wrote that Dali, Duan Yu's hometown, There are many places of interest, beautiful scenery, simple folk customs, and delicious food everywhere." Li Jiabin stayed in Hong Kong for half a year, and of course he also read a lot of Hong Kong TV dramas and novels.

When Uncle De heard about YN Province, his eyes became moister, he picked up the hot tea, and drank it regardless of the heat.I haven't drunk that familiar taste for decades, but I remember it firmly in my mind.
