Chapter 55 An Unpleasant Dinner

So Li Mo also stretched out his hand, and both hands gently held Together.

He felt his palm being gently scratched by the girl opposite, and thought to himself, is this also a habit of foreigners?

Li Mo pretended not to know, and quickly let go of the hands that they held together, walked to the dining table and sat down.

“Sir, ma’am, your menu.” The waiter saw that the guests were all seated and handed a menu.

“Steak, lamb chops, pork chops, chicken chops, fish chops.”

“Spaghetti, lansange lasagna pasta.”

“Grilled Beef, roast pork, roast lamb, roast chicken, lansange, quiche French roast pie.”

Looking at the menu, Li Mo regretted a little and promised Wei Xiaonian to come to this western restaurant.

Normally I have dinner with friends. He usually likes to order “boiled meat slices” and “boiled fish” for meat dishes, and “peanuts” for side dishes, and then comes with two dozen beers.

Forget it, order a steak, I don’t eat much anyway, Li Mo thought.

“I want a steak,” he told the waiter.

The waiter bent down, took notes, and asked, “How cooked?”

“How cooked, I want full! Can I still eat raw? “Li Mo replied for granted.

“Fully cooked?” The waiter’s eyes widened with a surprised expression.

Li Mo realizes that he is making a fool of himself, but he still believes that food should be fully cooked before eating.

He asked: “Yes, fully cooked, can’t you do it?”

“Yes.” The waiter replied quickly, showing that he was professionally trained.

Zhang Xuemei on the opposite side smiled and saw Li Mo ordered “well done” steak, and said, “I want a 7 medium rare steak and a mozzarella salad with tomatoes.”

Wei Xiaonian was obviously not familiar with western food either, so he smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m the same as this lady.”

The waiter went down with the menu to make arrangements, and the box was silent.

“Li Mo, I invited you to Princeton last time, don’t you think about it?” Zhang Xuemei suddenly asked with full of smiles.

Li Mo frowned and didn’t answer. Wei Xiaonian next to him whispered, “Xuemei, didn’t you say you just wanted to get to know Li Mo? Why did you suddenly dig up a corner?”

Zhang Xuemei ignored him and still said with a smile: “Will Professor Sen has already negotiated with Academy that you can go directly to the professor’s graduate school and provide you with a full scholarship.”

Speaking, she stopped, took a sip of water, looked at Li Mo and said There was no response, and he added: “Professor Wilson is very famous all over the world. Graduate students from him can easily enter the world’s top 500 companies.”

Li Mo watched Wei Xiaonian Like, is this what you call a treat?

He tapped the water glass in front of him with his finger, and said with a smile, “Is it a Fortune 500 company? Well, not long ago, Weihua Company offered me an annual salary of 1 million to hire me, but I rejected it.”

“Weihua, the most popular company in the world recently because of the star mobile phone system?”

“It is called by the media as the most likely to break the dominance of Xianzhuo in the mobile phone field. Weihua Company?”

It seems that Zhang Xuemei also knows the name of Weihua Company.

Li Mo nominated. He despised Zhang Xuemei’s behavior. If it wasn’t for Wei Xiaonian’s face, he would have left now.

“Sir, your well-done steak.”

“Miss, your medium-rare steak.”

The waiter brought the dishes quickly .

Li Mo is in trouble with a knife and fork, how can I use it?

Fortunately, he has always pursued a pragmatic approach, picking up a fork, inserting it directly on the steak, and cutting the steak little by little with a knife.

“puchi.” Zhang Xuemei, who was opposite, laughed out loud when she saw Li Mo’s “slaughtering meat” behavior.

I saw her lightly pick up the knife and fork and said, “When eating western food, you should hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand.”

“Look, that’s it.” Side While speaking, he made a meat-cutting gesture.

Li Mo watched her movements and took the initiative to adjust the way he eats. And thanked her: “Thank you, I don’t know much about the etiquette of Western food.”

Zhang Xuemei said mischievously: “You see, Western food is the food that a civilized person should have. The lyrical music is so intoxicating, and the harmony between the knife and the fork is so harmonious.”

Li Mo frowned, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said: “Cang Lin knows the etiquette, in my In my mind, chopsticks are the most suitable for humans to eat. Adults use long chopsticks, children use short chopsticks, people can always find chopsticks that suit them.”

Zhang Xuemei saw that Li Mo did not agree with her statement. , not annoyed, still smiled and said: “You have a genius brain, you can only display your talent when you go abroad, go to the United States, and go to the Holy Land of mathematics like Princeton. Staying at home is really reckless waste of natural resources. ”

Li Mo laughed heartily, “Do you say that Prince Gauss in mathematics went away because of the fame of the University of Göttingen, or did the University of Göttingen become famous because of Gauss?”

“Knowledge is knowledge, and science is science. In my Li Mo’s eyes, it’s as simple as that. I won’t go to it for fame.”

Li Mo stood up and smiled at Zhang Xuemei “By the way, beef may carry salmonella or E. coli, and after humans eat raw or half-raw pork or beef with cysticercosis, the larvae develop into tapeworms in the intestines, causing people to suffer from tapeworm disease. Pocket Insect is mildly ill. The patient may be asymptomatic, and in severe cases, the patient may suffer extreme pain or even die. Therefore, eating beef that has not been heated at high temperatures still poses certain health risks.”

A man who is holding a fork and delivering beef to his mouth Wei Xiaonian, hearing this, hurriedly dropped the fork.

“Okay, I don’t usually eat much. I wish you a happy meal. Goodbye.” The two of them, dumbfounded, motioned to leave.

Li Mo let out a long relaxed breath after leaving the restaurant, how did Wei Xiaonian meet Zhang Xuemei?

“Brother Mo, why did you come out so quickly?” The bodyguard Zhou Dayong miraculously sprang from behind him, and Brother Qiu was still standing beside Wuling Hongguang in the distance.

“Why are you here?” Li Mo was a little surprised.

Zhou Dayong casually said: “Because this is off-campus, I’m a bodyguard.”

Li Mo was stunned for a while, “Okay, have you eaten yet?”

p>

Zhou Dayong scratched his head: “I have eaten it. In the past few days, there was a work meal specially provided by the company, three dishes and one soup.”

Well, Li Mo has heard of it for a long time. The benefits of Weihua Company are good. Now it seems that it is not just in name only, but also in reality.

Li Mo was walking slowly by the side of the road with his bodyguard Zhou Dayong. The phone rang. It was Wei Xiaonian.

“Brother Mo, I’m so sorry today, I didn’t expect Zhang Xuemei to have this idea, she just wanted to get to know you.” Wei Xiaonian’s apologetic voice came from the phone.

Li Mo said indifferently: “It’s okay, it’s not your fault. I have clearly rejected Princeton’s invitation. I didn’t want to bring this Zhang Xuemei to the door.”

“By the way, I have written two new papers, which have been sent to your mailbox. Help me to review them. If appropriate, publish them in the “Mathematics Monthly”.”

Wei Xiaonian listened When I got this news, I was overjoyed: “Okay, I’ll go back and look at it right away, and I’ll help you publish it as soon as possible.”
