Gu Hongyu did not purchase the vegetables sent to the foreign expedition team. All of them were grown in his greenhouse using space spring water.

First, sending these vegetables to the foreign expedition team was not free. Second, Gu Hongyu had a big ambition hidden deep in his heart, that is, he hoped that these vegetables could attract the attention of foreign experts. It would be great if there could be some positive publicity.

The domestic action was still very slow. On the third day after the foreign experts came to Honghu Village, they still did not see their traces. According to expert Meng, the scientific expedition equipment applied by the experts here this time was really much more than the budget. It had been stuck in the hands of a certain leader for some time and was not passed.

However, there was good news recently. That is, a leader with a higher status said that since experts from other countries had come all the way to China, China had to show the style of the Chinese people. The equipment and instruments for the expedition, including the large team of people, were immediately doubled to a team of more than 50 people.

What are they going to do in Honghu Village? Do they really have to dig three feet deep here one by one?

In Gu Hongyu's opinion, some leaders of China are just fond of grandiose achievements, putting on a show, and following formalism. They are really amateurs leading professionals.

Although the delay will arrive in the next one or two days, Gu Hongyu regrets leading them at this moment.

The foreign scientific expedition team has been relatively quiet in the past two days. After knowing that they cannot enter the cave before the Chinese scientific expedition team, except for a few people who complained, most of them still took it calmly. After all, this is on the land of China, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

During this period, Gu Hongyu told Lennis that there was danger under the cave. Soon other scientific expedition teams also knew about it. Many scientific expedition teams began to prepare more exploration equipment to cope with the complex environment under the cave.

There were also some curious scientific expedition team members who saw Gu Hongyu. Simply asked him directly if he was carrying two small snakes in his hands. The temperature is a bit low now. Although Gu Hongyu is not afraid of the cold, he can't be too different. He still put on two clothes, and the small snakes hid under his sleeves.

It's strange to say. Generally, snakes should find a place to hibernate at this time, but Xiao Jin and Xiao Qing on his wrists are still energetic and show no signs of hibernation.

Could this also be the effect of long-term drinking of space spring water!

Just after noon, Lainis entered Gu Hongyu's lakeside cabin again.

Gu Hongyu was very wary of Lainis's visit. He didn't want to be pulled by Mei Ning's ears and begged for mercy again.

"Lainis, what are you doing here this time?"

"Haha, dear Hongyu, are you so unwelcome to me?" Lainis spoke in poor Chinese. The tone of "Dear Hongyu" in the words was very similar to when Mei Ning called him.

Fortunately, Mei Ning is out collecting folk songs now. The pictures on the Xianyuan website are very popular with tourists. Many of the original ecological beauty make netizens exclaim and ask to upload more pictures. This is not Mei Ning's one more thing to do when she is free, taking pictures of the scenery of Honghu Village.

Still carefully looking around, Gu Hongyu said righteously: "Lenis, some things can't be said carelessly, if people hear it and cause misunderstanding, it will be bad!"

"Hehe, Gu Hongyu, after getting to know you for a while, I found that you are a very interesting boy. Are all Chinese men like this?" Lenis asked mischievously.

Unable to stand Lenis's cute look. Gu Hongyu planned to remain silent this time.

Seeing Gu Hongyu's helpless look, Lenis laughed again: "Okay, I won't joke with you. This time I came here to tell you that our scientific expedition team has a dinner party in the evening, and invite you and your family to attend. After all, everyone has been well taken care of by you during this period."

"Finally, the vegetables and food provided at the dinner party are all arranged by you, so we can be regarded as offering flowers to Buddha!" ​​Lenis smiled quietly and turned around and walked away without waiting for Gu Hongyu to answer.

Not long after coming to China, Gu Hongyu felt that Lenis's Chinese was becoming more and more appropriate, and he even learned the idiom "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha". He is still very talented in language!

Not long after, Mei Ning came back from collecting folk songs.

Gu Hongyu told Mei Ning that Lenis had invited them to attend the dinner party held by all members of the scientific expedition team.

Mei Ning smiled and said, "These foreigners are really leisurely. Their country asked them to come for scientific research. They even have the mind to hold a banquet!"

Gu Hongyu also smiled and said, "They stay here all day doing nothing. It's not bad to let them find something to do. Do you think we should go tonight or not?"

"I can see the beautiful blonde Lenis again tonight. Don't tell me you don't have this idea?" Mei Ning glanced at Gu Hongyu with a slanted eye.

Gu Hongyu scratched his head: "How can I do that? Now I have my Xiao Ning, and other girls can't enter my eyes!"

"What about eyes? Okay, let's go tonight to see what the banquet held by foreigners looks like, and we will also hold one to open their eyes in the future!" Mei Ning wanted to show her superiority in some way.

"Okay, you have the final say!" Gu Hongyu smiled faintly.

…

When the sun sets, the Honghu Lake in Honghu Village becomes a little lively.

After the temperature drops, tourists who come to Honghu Village now prefer to set up tents by the Honghu Lake and enjoy the lake and mountain scenery and the starry sky at night.

At this moment, two handsome men and beautiful women in formal clothes walked out of the wooden house.

Of course, these two people are Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning. When Gu Hongyu's parents knew that the foreigners invited them to the party, they decisively refused on the spot. It would be useless for them to go there without understanding a word of foreign language.

I heard that you need to wear more formal clothes for banquets abroad, so Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning almost drove to the county town to buy a set of clothes, but after searching through boxes and cabinets, they barely found one.

Originally, both of them had good figures and were considered to be perfect clothes racks. Although the clothes were a bit outdated, they still complemented each other.

I thought they would receive applause from the Yang people when they walked into the banquet venue, but Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning were greatly disappointed. Not only did they not receive the expected applause, but the foreigners looked at Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning and laughed.

What's going on?

Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning were confused!

Along the way, we walked into the temporary banquet venue built by foreigners. There was a patchwork carpet inside, with wires tied to it and many light bulbs connected in series, waiting for the lights to light up when night falls.

There were many tables, chairs and benches around the empty venue, and the entire orientation was facing the middle venue. It seemed that someone would perform during the banquet later.

On the other side of the tables and chairs, there was a row of connected tables, on which were placed tonight's food and wine. In the outer areas, there were more ingredients waiting for the chefs to process and cook into dishes.

It was great to be able to build it like this temporarily, Gu Hongyu thought in his heart.

"Hi, Gu Hongyu, Mei Ning, welcome to our banquet!" From the crowd, Lenis greeted them enthusiastically with a strange voice.

But looking at the clothes of Gu Hongyu and Mei Ning, she also laughed.

Covering his mouth with one hand and pointing at them with the other, he said, "Oh my God, why are you dressed so formally today?"

"Aren't banquets abroad very formal? Is there anything wrong with us dressing like this?" Gu Hongyu asked back. Now he understood why the other foreigners were laughing at them just now.

Lenice slapped his head and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't explain it to you clearly at the time. I didn't expect that you Chinese people thought you knew it very well!"

Looking at Gu Hongyu's puzzled expression, Lenice continued, "There are many kinds of banquets in our country, but there is no dress code for this kind of open-air banquet. People usually wear casual clothes outdoors."

"I said I found other people laughing at us as soon as I came here. So that's it!" Mei Ning abused Gu Hongyu again.

Lenice turned a blind eye and said immediately, "Let's go over quickly. The banquet will start soon."

Banquet is a social occasion in the aristocratic circles of many Western countries.

After the banquet started, many people started talking. They held their wine glasses in one hand and gestured with the other hand to debate with others. Gu Hongyu was very bored. It seemed that they came to the wrong banquet this time.

But Gu Hongyu found his hobbies immediately.

This was originally an open-air banquet. Just as Lennis said, it was very different from the formal banquets in the upper class.

I don’t know when a barbecue grill was set up on the lawn. There were many ingredients placed next to it. Maybe these foreigners were not used to the Chinese cooking method. There was an old man with white hair who was doing it by himself.

As a foodie, Gu Hongyu immediately pulled Mei Ning up, greeted the old man cordially, and also took a few skewers of beef and mutton that he liked to eat, as well as the green peppers and eggplants from his own greenhouse and put them on the grill.

Gu Hongyu was not very good at barbecue, but after camping in the wild with Chen Luofeng several times, he still learned a lot of techniques. He applied oil when it was time to apply oil, and sprayed seasoning when it was time to spray seasoning. After a while, several fragrant skewers were ready.

He left a skewer of beef and gave the rest to Mei Ning. Although she looked delicate, she was also a carnivore when she was in college. What made Gu Hongyu curious was that no matter how Mei Ning ate, she was still as charming and beautiful. Her figure was not changed at all, and the convex and curved parts were more curved.

While eating the skewers, Mei Ning took a few more skewers of meat and put them on the grill. She enjoyed it.

"Young man, can you give me a skewer of this meat?" A voice came from the side when Gu Hongyu was eating deliciously.

Gu Hongyu didn't know the white-haired old man at all. He didn't intend to pay attention to him, but thinking that he was a foreigner, he gave him a skewer of chicken skin in the grilled skewers. He didn't know if he could eat it!
