The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 556 Learning Foreign Languages
The relationship between Bai Meixi and Xiao Ping has improved by leaps and bounds. She has not gone to the market to sell goods in the past few days. She and Xiao Ping have been together almost every day. They are so close that they are like sisters reunited after a long separation. Even Professor Shen is constantly joking. , feeling that Xiao Ping’s parents had given birth to an extra sister behind her back.

"If Sister Meixi were my biological sister, I would wish for it. Professor Shen, you don't know how good Meixi's food is. I have never eaten such delicious food in the capital." Xiao Ping said tightly. She hugged Bai Meixi's neck. In the past two days, she was deeply impressed by Bai Meixi's cooking skills. After work every day, she went to Bai Meixi's dormitory to open a small stove and tutored her in English and Russian.

Before coming to Agushan, she had already made plans to lose weight. Unexpectedly, she gained several pounds after arriving, and even her cheeks became rounder.

"Professor Shen, you can come to my place for dinner tonight. It won't take much trouble for me to cook two more dishes." Bai Meixi admired a knowledgeable person like Professor Shen very much. She often sent some steamed bacon over to improve him. Food, but every time Professor Shen said that he was old and didn't like eating meat, and asked Bai Meixi to leave the bacon to Cheng Haiyi.

"I won't go. The food in the camp canteen is good, and I don't like the excitement." Professor Shen declined as usual. In his opinion, it is not easy to support a family with Cheng Haiyi's allowance. If he continues to give it every day If he cooks delicious food, the family will definitely have a hard time living.

He felt sorry for the young men here and couldn't bear to cause trouble to them. If Xiao Ping hadn't helped Bai Meixi with tutoring every night, he wouldn't have let her go to dinner.

Bai Meixi didn't want to force Professor Shen, so she took Xiao Ping back to the dormitory. On the way, she met two of Xiao Ping's colleagues. They had just returned from getting food from the cafeteria. Apart from cabbage, they only had carrots and eggs. No appetite.

These two people were disgusted with this kind of food. When they saw Xiao Ping going to eat Xiao Zao again, they became more hostile to her.

But Bai Meixi knew that this was the best meal that the camp could provide. Eggs were a precious thing here. Even people at the leadership level could not have them for every meal, not to mention the heavy snowfall in the past two days. , there is absolutely nothing extra that can be transported in, and even cabbage has become a luxury product. It’s good for everyone to have some.

"Sister, what are we going to eat today?" Xiao Ping was already hungry after a busy day, especially when she saw others starting to eat, her mouth was drooling uncontrollably.

"It's been prepared a long time ago, hurry up and eat it."

Bai Meixi always treated Xiao Ping generously. She served out fried eggs with green onions and fried beef tenderloin with green peppers. These two dishes were much higher than those in the camp canteen. When Xiao Ping saw it, she sat down at the table without saying anything and took a big gulp. He took big gulps of food into his mouth.

Her family background is very good, she has never suffered much, and she cannot bear the harsh environment here. On the first day she came here, she ate the food in the cafeteria with everyone. Director Huang cooked a big pot of food and could not take care of it. Something to suit everyone's taste.

In addition to rice, there was only a boiled dish and a winter melon soup with a few pieces of mutton slices. Xiao Ping refused from the bottom of her heart and went back to sleep after only a few bites. Fortunately, she met Bai Meixi, who cooked There was both meat and vegetables, and the first meal was a pound of stewed sheep and scorpions, which made Xiao Ping's mouth full of oil.

What's more, the rice used in Baimeixi is the rice from the hometown. It tastes smooth and glutinous, much better than the local rice in Agu Mountain. In addition, all the meals are cooked in space, so there is no problem of hot water at only 80 degrees on the plateau. , the taste is much better than the big pot rice in the camp.

Every time Xiao Ping finished eating, she was full of praises. She wished she could go directly to Bai Meixi's hometown, take hundreds of kilograms of rice home, and enjoy it slowly.

"Sister, is your beef tenderloin stir-fried with black pepper? I heard that this ingredient is only used in Western food. I have never been to a Western restaurant in Beijing." Xiao Ping was very excited and hung the black pepper beef tenderloin on it. She served her rice with a thick layer of sauce. After a while, the bowl in front of her was full, but she still felt hungry and not even half full.

"Who said black pepper is a seasoning used in Western food? This seasoning is used in many domestic dishes, especially in the Sichuan and Sichuan regions. There are hundreds of kinds of peppercorns, which can be made in thousands of ways. dishes, and each one is different.”

Bai Meixi touched Xiao Ping's head and felt that she had been to too few places. When one day she travels all over the country, she will find that China's food culture is profound and profound, and it cannot be compared with a few Western dishes. of.

"Sister Meixi, you have been to so many places. I really envy you. I have been in Beijing since I was a child. This is the first time I have left so far away. I didn't expect the environment to be so hard. What would I do without you? .”

Xiao Ping sighed softly. She grew up in a well-off family and had no worries about food and drink. Her parents regarded her as the apple of their eyes and gave her all the best things, but they were also very strict with her. If Professor Shen hadn't taken care of her, Come out, they will never allow her to come to a place like this to do scientific research.

She was originally very excited and ready to show off her talents here, but she didn't expect that eating would defeat her first.

"I envy you. You can speak so many languages. I have been studying for several days and can only speak a few simple words in Russian." Bai Meixi's words came from the bottom of her heart. She has been following Xiao Ping these days. After studying, I found that Russian is really a very difficult language to learn. It is much more difficult than English. It is extremely difficult for someone like her who has no basic knowledge.

But this kind of language is easy and smooth in Xiao Ping's mouth, as if she lives in Russia and is a Russian princess with an Asian face.

"Sister Meixi, your progress has been very fast. When I first learned Russian, it took me half a year to reach your current level."

Xiao Ping is very sure of Bai Meixi's talent. When everyone comes into contact with a new language, there will be a certain adaptation period. Once this adaptation period is over, the progress will be rapid. According to Bai Meixi's current level, Her adaptation period will be much faster than ordinary people, and she may be better than her in the future.

"Your mouth is so sweet. I know my level myself. I bought those two dictionaries today. You can teach me how to use them later."

Bai Meixi took out two brand-new dictionaries from the drawer. She asked other young men to buy them from nearby small towns. The contents were exactly the ones Xiao Ping recommended to her.

"I will teach you now. Dictionary is very simple, you can learn it in one go." Xiao Ping immediately put down the bowl in her hand and quickly entered the teaching work. She had no reservations about Bai Meixi's kindness and put all her years of learning experience into it. Give everything you have.
