In a restaurant in Montreal, Professor Charles, Magneto Marx, and Ms. Rowling were sitting at a table. They chatted with each other while waiting for the dishes to be served, looking very harmonious.
This restaurant is famous for its braised oxtail (western style, Hungarian style). In fact, many Asians think that Europeans and Americans don't eat animal organs, such as tails and claws. This is just a form of blinding the eye.
Because some countries are very used to calling all countries as "foreign countries". After going to other countries a few times, they always like to say, "foreign countries are like this."
But foreign countries weren't just one country. There were more than two hundred countries in the world, and there were dozens of large and small countries in Europe alone. Maybe some countries didn't eat these things, but one country couldn't represent all "foreign countries."
Ten miles were different, and a hundred miles were different. Not to mention the taste. For example, Turkey, which was on the border of Europe and Asia, would eat all kinds of animal offal, including pigs, cows, and sheep. Their cooking skills were superb, not worse than Asian countries.
The United Kingdom, which was famous for its dark cuisine, had a method of wrapping lamb's liver and other offal and cooking it together. Didn't it sound a bit like the pork belly chicken in Guangdong? Of course, whether the taste of this kind of lamb belly could be accepted by the Chinese like the pork belly chicken was another matter.
There were also the famous German pig trotters and German sausages. There were many kinds of German sausages, some of which used pig intestines as casing. Also, Germans and some people who were influenced by German food culture would make blood sausages. Yes, it was similar to the blood sausages of northeast China. Although the taste and method of cooking were definitely different, it was still the same thing.
During the winter Christmas, some countries in Northern and Western Europe drank hot wine (yes, hot wine). It was a winter drink by boiling wine and adding cinnamon powder and other spices. Because the wine was heated, a lot of the alcohol would evaporate, so it was suitable for people of all ages. At the same time, they had the habit of eating fried sausages and fried blood sausages. This was similar to the pig stewed with pickled cabbage and blood sausages in the northeast during the New Year, and a bottle of warm Red Star Erguotou.
The habit and method of drinking wine were similar to people in southern China buying loose yellow wine. (Many European countries sell their wine in bulk, just like how China sells yellow wine and white wine in bulk.) Holding a large glass bottle, he went to the shop and said to the shop owner, "Give me 20 euros worth of wine to take away."
Then the shop owner would ask, "Is it three or five years old? Here we have grapes from Bordeaux and Cognac, and here we have grapes from the New World (Australia and America). "
After a round of picking and choosing, the shop owner would help you put the wine into your own container. This was the case in many European farmers' fairs. It had nothing to do with high-class, classy, and all kinds of over-packaged wines, but it was full of life. This was how most people in this world lived. Not everyone could afford to drink top-notch Cognac or Maotai, and not everyone needed to savor wine carefully. It was just a way of life, and there was no need to be too complicated or artificial. More people still choose these grounded things in their lives, whether in China or abroad.
Just like this restaurant in Montreal that mainly sells braised oxtail, this restaurant has been open in Montreal for more than 30 years and is an old restaurant, but the front is very inconspicuous. Li Jie and Lan almost didn't find this place.
The front of this restaurant is only about five meters wide on the street, which is really not big. In addition, the name of the restaurant written on the gray-green entrance canopy is mottled with blood, which makes it even more difficult to miss it if you don't look for it deliberately.
But after entering, Li Jie found that this restaurant was a different world. Although the front is not wide, the interior of the restaurant is particularly long, and the interior area is much more open than the outside. The entire restaurant is a convex structure.
Li Jie refused the waiter's table service and chose a position where he could observe Magneto and his party but was not very conspicuous. After ordering two Oxtail Sets, Li Jie turned his attention to Magneto and his party.
This time, he came to observe Magneto and Professor X. It can be considered a mission in the face of danger. The reason why the leaders of the Illuminati chose Li Jie was very simple. First, this matter was caused by Li Jie. (Li Jie: I'm not alone! I'm definitely not alone!)
Second, this guy is bold and careful, and can handle all kinds of situations.
Third, Nightcrawler's acting skills are excellent. After he and Lan used makeup to disguise their appearance, it would be difficult for Professor Xavier to find out Nightcrawler's identity without a brain wave scan.
Of course, there is also the last point, that is, the other three leaders do not want to get involved in this matter. So in the end, they unanimously voted that the most suitable person to do this is Nightcrawler. Doesn't this feel a bit like an imperial decision? Dr. Hank pushed up his black-rimmed glasses. "How can a democratic imperial decision be called an imperial decision? This is the choice of the people. "
… …..
Lan drank her pre-meal sparkling wine and whispered to Li Jie, "Is this why you asked me to go on a date?"
Li Jie came back to his senses and looked at Lan. "What?"
Lan pursed her lips and gestured in the direction of Magneto and Charles. "Look, are we going to watch those two people when we're going on a date?"
Li Jie covered his forehead and said helplessly, "I didn't want to, but the organization has already made a decision, so I had to come. I was confused at the time. I was doing fine at home, why did I come here to do this? "
"If Magneto and Professor X get mad at you for interrupting their date, you might not be able to escape," Lan told Li Jie the truth.
Li Jie nodded sullenly. If Magneto and Professor X joined forces and attacked together, Professor Banner would probably be left behind. When the two of them were together, one plus one was greater than two!
Li Jie looked in the direction of Magneto and Professor Xavier. They were talking to an elegant woman who looked to be in her forties. The scene was harmonious, and it looked calm and peaceful.
But Li Jie felt a little uneasy. This doesn't seem right. One of the three people on a date must be the third wheel. The atmosphere must be tense. Just like the last time Peter went to London to have dinner with Graham and Brian.
