Latest URL: "Mr. Tobias, are you sure it's okay?"
Gao Hongli looked at Jiang Yanyun, who was busy in and out of the kitchen, with great interest; out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Gao Wen, who was full of anticipation, impatiently, even if he was a little worried, he couldn't just pour cold water on him, turned over and over again, and finally asked quietly Check out the broker.
English?
It can't be said that he is good at it, but Gao Hongli is also an intellectual, so there is no problem in daily conversation. They arrived in New York five days ahead of schedule, and they were a little stumbling in the first two days, but after a few days of practice, they were able to communicate in a decent manner.
"Just call me John. What are you worried about?"
"As far as I know, professional players need to pay attention to their diet."
"Ah! You mean to pay attention to stimulants and nutritional balance, right? Don't worry, today I took Ms. Jiang to the market that has been verified by the organizing committee to buy ingredients. All products have been tested and approved. There is a problem, as for nutritional balance..."
Tobias wasn't worried about that.
Not only the four Grand Slams, in fact, all tours need to pay attention to the potential problem of doping, so the general tour has a special player canteen.
Here, all ingredients have been tested, including energy drinks, banana chocolate, etc. Energy food is needed during competitions and training, and players can also obtain it through the competition organizing committee—
Of course, you can also buy it separately, but if you fail the doping check after the game, you cannot appeal.
As the top events, the Four Grand Slams also have a dedicated player market in addition to the player cafeteria.
Because top players like Djokovic and Nadal come to participate in the four Grand Slams, they often bring the whole team and their families, and rent a villa like a vacation, instead of living in the tournament arrangement. Hotel, naturally, they also cook at home.
Then the ingredients are very important, so the four Grand Slams have special players' vegetable markets, the ingredients in which have been professionally tested and are open to all players.
Of course, if the event staff and spectators want to go, there is no problem.
This time, Tobias considered that it was the first time for Gao Wen to participate in the U.S. Open, which was of special significance. In addition to the matter of Winston-Salem, he also wanted to do something for Gao Wen, so he paid for it at his own expense. Invite Gao Wen's parents to come to New York to watch the game, hoping to bring Gao Wen a good state.
At the same time, Tobias also rented an apartment in Flushing, upstate New York, for the convenience of Gao Hongli and his wife.
However, Gao Wen has not changed his career at present, and all the competition prize money cannot be withdrawn. He is basically a poor student, so naturally he cannot rent an apartment in the best location. Now this apartment is completely paid for by Tobias himself. The location is good but the space is limited—
Even though Flushing is in the northern suburbs of New York, it is still New York, where every inch of land is expensive.
Therefore, Gao Wen will still live in the hotel arranged by the organizing committee.
The advantage is that the event organizing committee is stationed in the hotel, and it is more convenient to go to and from the training ground, to and from the competition venue, and accept media interviews from here; and there are staff reminding the itinerary all the time, even if it is the first time for a novice to participate in a Grand Slam And absolutely no delays to practices or games, or to anything important because of the abysmal traffic in New York.
Tonight, in the apartment where Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun lived for nearly a week, Gao Wen was finally able to taste his hometown food—it was his mother's cooking.
It's really worth getting excited about.
As for nutritional balance, this is indeed something to worry about, but now Gao Wen has not officially turned into a professional, and his daily training is not supervised by a nutritionist, so the impact of one meal today can be ignored.
Tobias smiled at Gao Hongli.
"Don't worry, Gao Wen will go to the training ground tomorrow and see what to do. He has been here all these years, so don't worry about him getting fat."
"dinner time!"
Gao Wen's cheerful call sounded, and he could feel the joy and anticipation overflowing without turning his head, and even Tobias became excited.
"Gao Wen, what is this?"
"Corn pork ribs soup, one of my mother's specialty soups, sweet and refreshing, you will like it."
"Soup?"
"No, John, is this supposed to be... consommé?"
The thick soup in Western food can directly fill your stomach when dipped in bread, but the clear soup in Chinese food is nourishing and healthy. Obviously, these are two completely different things—even among the same East Asian food, Japanese food and Korean ingredients are not so common.
Gao Wen was asked to explain the difference between the two all of a sudden, and he was really stuck, unable to start.
Tobias looked at Gawain's raised eyebrows and laughed happily, "Don't worry, I'll try it and I'll know what it's like."
But Tobias found that Gawain couldn't take his eyes off the dining table at all. The full dishes were really full of color and fragrance. The tangy aroma made him subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva when he didn't notice—
To be honest, Chinese food is not uncommon. Living in the North American continent, they often eat Chinese food at home in the form of take-out or delivery in their daily life. There are also many opportunities to go to Chinese restaurants in Chinatown. Tobias thinks that "Chinese food That’s it”, from Kung Pao Chicken to Moo Shu Pork to General Tso’s Chicken, there is a formula for all menus.
But today, Tobias suddenly discovered that things didn't seem to be like this.
"Gao Wen, is this your home cooking?"
"...Haha, you mean, it's not the same as the menu in a Chinese restaurant, right? John, the Chinese food here is all modified and adjusted. Actually, to me, it's not Chinese at all. Believe me, I The first time I ate General Tso's chicken was in Los Angeles."
"..." Tobias felt that he had been hit violently.
"This is our home cooking, you can taste it. Don't worry, my hometown food is not spicy at all."
Gulp.
Tobias himself didn't realize it, and swallowed his saliva again. He must admit that on American family dining tables, hot food can occasionally be seen~www.mtlnovel.com~but most of the time cold food still dominates, and now Suddenly I saw a table full of hot food, steaming, and even the lights became softer, and I could faintly feel the unique warmth.
knock knock!
But before Tobias could continue to ask, there was a knock on the door, which made him turn his head back. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Gao Wen pinching a small piece of braised pork with his fingers, putting it into his mouth, and licking it. He licked his finger and showed a satisfied expression, which made Tobias dumbfounded.
Gawain made a "shh" gesture to Tobias, and then his smile burst out—
Eating at home, sneaking away first is the most delicious.
"Who's there?"
Gao Wen raised his voice and shouted at the door, and Jiang Yanyun came out of the kitchen immediately after.
"Ah, is it the client that the manager said is coming?"
guest?
