Chapter 248 [The Lion King Contest] (seeking a monthly ticket)
Through the faint light coming from the eye holes of the mask, Liuxu gently stuck out her tongue; she wanted to hold on for a while, but finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Zhou Yi, so you know this facial makeup?"
What she wears on her head is a favorite mask of children during the Chinese New Year. It has a plastic buckle on the front and a monkey rubber band on the back to tie around the head. Common ones include Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Guan Gong; but hers is relatively rare, and she is a full-fledged mask. The facial makeup of an ancient woman with a beaded head.
Just now, Liu Xu saw Zhou Yi knocking on the door through the cat's eyes, and suddenly his childlike innocence became bright, so he put on the mask and poked his head out. She thought that Zhou Yi would laugh without exclaiming, but she didn't expect that he would just blurt it out like an actor. He asked, "Why are you here?" Instead, she couldn't help laughing and took off her mask.
"Then we still don't know each other. Isn't this Miss Yingying? I'm not too familiar with her at first. Ever since I listened to the play at Brother Bao's place last time, my impression of Miss Yingying has become even more profound. Tsk tsk... Zhou Yi He shook his head and said: "I have a close relationship with you. Sister Liu, are you going to imitate Miss Yingying and jump over the pink wall?"
"Bah, you are really... Liuxu blushed: "Ye Zi is still there, what nonsense are you talking about."
Sure enough, before she finished her words, Little Yezi put on a Sun Wukong mask and stuck her head out: "Uncle Zhou, aunty snatched my beautiful sister's mask... Haha, your Sun Wukong mask is not bad either. I didn't expect you to still have it in France. Who bought these things?" Zhou Yi walked into the room and saw his parents playing with fireworks and lanterns happily. There were also a few masks and facial makeup. He was not surprised, thinking that he would do the same at home on weekdays. I have never seen the second elder take so much care. Why is it that after arriving in France, it feels more like a new year?
"Xiao Yi, where is your brother-in-law?"
Zhou Maotong frowned when he saw Zhou Yi coming back alone: "Didn't you go to the seaside resort? Why are you coming back alone?"
"Yeah. My brother-in-law went to the casino and said he wanted to win some money to celebrate the New Year. I have no interest in gambling, so I came back first..." Zhou Yi chuckled.
"He went to the casino again? This piece of mud just can't hold up the wall! Fortunately, my good son is back. Otherwise, there would be chaos at home and outside?"
Zhou Maotong snorted, glanced at Zhou Yi a few times, and then his expression softened: "Boy, your egg fried rice is pretty good, isn't it? That Amy Rui from the Paris Food Channel has been talking about it all day long on the show. I watched you after the New Year. Just go to the restaurant to help, and fry some for me to try later... You damn old man, Xiao Yi has just come back and you are using people as coolies? Ignore your dad, Xiao Yi."
When Zhou Yi was about to agree, Li Xiufen pulled her son to her side, glanced at Liu Xu who was rushing to the kitchen, and whispered to her son in a low voice: "Xiao Yi, Mom has seen her these days, and Miss Liu is a nice person. You have to give me an accurate answer today. When are you going to get married?"
"Mom, why do you think of this again? Look... I have to go back to China to get married, right? You, my dad, my sister and my husband all have to be there, right? Look at this big stall in France. The thing is, the second sister is sitting in confinement again, can you and my father get away from each other? Besides, this is a natural thing. People have shown it to you, and you can get married two days earlier and two days later. Aren’t they all the same?”
Zhou Yi is now in a state of misery. Since the basic skills of spiritual root and immortal body were upgraded to the fourth level, and the main profession 'Youran Hero' was activated, his 'Longxing Land' not only returned to normal, but also rose with the tide. That guy...
....Now if I really lose my temper, I will really touch the mountains and there are caves, and the water will boil! It is no longer a mortal thing, it is simply like a wish-fulfilling golden cudgel.
This is such a shame. When Sister Liu meets her, why don't she immediately make Liu Qianhuahan? If Zhou Yi, who cherishes beauty and cherishes her, hasn't come up with a countermeasure yet, I'm afraid he would have attacked the girl as early as on board the "Long Aotian".
Idle people are not eunuchs. If they had the right attitude, they could still leave a beautiful woman by their side and not lift a finger?
This was all forced by reality. Zhou Yi also stared blankly and had to change the topic: "By the way, Mom, why aren't the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law at home?"
"Going to District 13."
Zhou Maotong came out of the kitchen with a bowl of dumplings: "Let's eat first. We don't have to wait for them. Your second sister and the baby have already eaten and gone to bed. Let's finish the meal quickly so that we can make a couple of them. Your sister is busy these days.
During the Chinese New Year, I don’t even have time to play two games of mahjong. Today is a good day. Your mother and I share the same table, and you two young couples share the same table. Let me declare in advance that if you want to play seriously, you can’t mess around if you lose.”
Zhou Maotong and his wife are both strong supporters of the quintessence of China, and they are quite addicted to playing cards. However, since arriving in France, it has been difficult to find a suitable card partner... Now it is easy to look forward to a son and a future.
The daughter-in-law is here, so of course she can't let her go. She has to get over her poker addiction first.
"Play majiang?"
Zhou Yi was stunned and asked Liu Xu in a low voice: "Don't you know how to play this?"
I remember that on board the Long Aotian, Yu Linglong and her eldest sister pulled Liu Xu to play mahjong, but she couldn't even distinguish ten thousand tubes; and Zhou Yi could see that Liu Xu didn't like playing mahjong at all.
"Auntie has taught me these past two days." Liu Xu blushed. She was just like Qu Yi Chenghuan. She wanted to make the two elders happy, but she was afraid that Zhou Yi would see through her thoughts, which was very embarrassing.
"Thank you..." Zhou Yi felt his heart heat up after hearing this, and gently held her little hand under the table. Looking at the blushing Liu Meizhi, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction...
..
The meal was eaten very quickly, and then the 'family of four' set up a battlefield on the large balcony. After a few rounds of playing, the two old people won a lot of money. They felt that today was so smooth, it was just like
You can get whatever you want. The big three yuan and the big four happy things that are usually out of reach are all in one line. Today, you just get them in your hand as if you are going to the market. It is only ten yuan, and with just a few rounds, Zhouyi has
He lost tens of thousands of dollars to his second wife, and it was still francs.
"Boy, have you found the gap? It's still too early for me to beat you... Zhou Maotong was so happy that his eyes narrowed: "What do I say? I will go to Tai O with your mother to participate in the mahjong competition soon, and we will win too.
A golden mahjong award. Zhenzhen’s gang of gambling kings and queens and so on... Xiaoyi, you can also go together when the time comes, and see the infinite scenery of you, me, and my sword!"
"That's that... Dad, since you love playing mahjong so much, we won't go out during the holidays this year. Liu Xu and I will play with you two elders, and I have to win back the lost New Year's money.
.”
What is filial piety? Being obedient is filial piety! Playing mahjong with Zhou Yi, the two elders can't even think about winning money; and since Zhou Yi's last time sorting it out, the two elders not only got rid of hidden diseases, but also got the nourishment of spiritual light, and they are energetic these days.
No, the old man often looks at the old lady in evil ways now. Does he look like he is always ready for the dead wood to come back? So after playing mahjong for a few rounds, not only did the old man not feel tired, but he became even more addicted.
"That's good. This Spring Festival is going to be a feast for the eyes. But not on the first day of the Lunar New Year. The lions in our restaurant are going to pick green leaves, and we can't lose to those colleagues anymore."
Zhou Maotong seemed to have remembered something: "By the way, why haven't Daya and the others come back yet? The 13th arrondissement is full of Chinese people, so they shouldn't get lost?"
"Lions picking green flowers?" Zhou Yi was stunned when he heard this: "Dad, why do we still need to invite people to perform lion dances in our restaurant? You asked eldest sister and the others to go to Chinatown to find a lion dance master?"
"Isn't that right? Boy, the lion dance and dragon lantern dance during the Chinese New Year happened many years ago. These days, we don't see these lively things in the city. Even if they happen occasionally, they don't have to work hard...
During the lion dance, Zhou Maotong's eyes shone, and he obviously loved this very much: "In Chinatown in Paris, many old Chinese things have been preserved, and the lion dance during the New Year is one of them. Last year we
The Lions team of the restaurant has lost. This year, we have to pick the green ones and come out on top. This is a good sign."
"You are just a crazy old man. The restaurant business has been down this year, so you still want to spend money on the lion dance?" Li Xiufen rolled her eyes at him.
"You old woman has long hair but short knowledge. This is publicity and competition. Do you understand?"
Zhou Maotong curled his lips: "Besides, our son has spread the name of 'Linshui Champs' just a few days since he came to France. Now we have to make it even more fierce... This time the Lion King is competing for hegemony."
, we are just competing with our peers. If we win, no one in the whole Chinatown will know our name as 'Linshui Champs'. Are you afraid that you will not make any money by then?"
"Dad, how come this lion dance and picking green flowers are related to colleagues? Why didn't I understand?"
Zhouyi is really a bit baffling.
"Don't you understand? What is Chinatown in Paris? It's Little China in Paris. What's the most amazing thing about China? That's eating. So there are many restaurants in the 13th arrondissement, with all eight major cuisines. What other Vietnamese and Southern dishes are there?
, Thai~ national cuisine, it is a place where foodies gather together anyway; when the Lunar New Year comes, colleagues in Chinatown will hold the "Lion King Competition", which is said to celebrate the Chinese New Year, but in fact it is a competitive competition.
.”
The old man was obviously very business-savvy, and he spoke eloquently: "And after these years of development, this has become a scene. Those who like Chinese food and Chinese culture will come to visit when the time comes. What do you think?
Is the advertising effect great? Therefore, if we, the 'Linshui Champs', demand greater development, we must first win the lion king and harvest the green leaves."
"Xiao Yi, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. When he was young, he joined the literary and art propaganda team. He always played the role of a lion's tail but couldn't do the lion's head. He felt awkward for most of his life. Now he is using this to get addicted.
Well, I think he is a loser."
Li Xiufen obviously doesn't like her husband's "ambitious ambitions" very much.
"No, Mom, I think what Dad said makes sense. Since 'Linshui Champs' is the second sister's business, it should strive for greater development. This competition for the Lion King is really a good publicity tool. This time I support Dad."
But Zhou Yi was very interested. Not to mention that the lion dance was quite fun and suited his taste. It was just to make up for his father's regrets back then. As a son, it was also his duty to do it.
