Although Chen Yibing thought well and worked hard to implement her plan, it was not as fast as the changes. This semester was coming to the end soon, and the final exams in various subjects made Chen Yibing, a non-academic student who came by air, very anxious. She had no choice but to put aside her literary career for the time being and devote herself to her studies.
Condon University attaches great importance to the final exam, especially the end-of-year exam, which is the most important exam of the year. Moreover, this exam has a failure rate. Once you fail, there is no make-up exam. The only consequence is to drop out of school and retake the exam. Again, all the students attached great importance to this exam, including the eldest daughter Susanna.
They didn't go home during the weekend. Huang Weitian came to Chen Yibing's room with her books to read together. The three of them reviewed quietly in the living room, but the strange smell coming from the kitchen made the three of them a little distracted. Especially the eldest lady, when she smelled this wonderful fragrance, she couldn't help but ask: "Is this smell really coming from beef?"
Last night the eldest lady’s chef brought a lot of meat, and Chen Yiping processed the meat to remove the blood and fishy smell. After leaving it overnight, she started making soy beef early the next morning.
Beef with soy sauce seems to be a very simple dish to cook in one pot, but in fact it is not that easy to make a pot of braised pork with first-class texture, color and aroma. Chen Yiping has never experienced blood-soaked, tight meat. The time, heat and time when stewing the meat are all particular.
The three of them managed to wait until noon, and finally had this pot of beef with soy sauce, which was paired with homemade chili oil. The thin slices of beef with soy sauce were dipped in the chili oil. The taste made the eldest lady so moved that she almost cried. She couldn’t believe that this amazingly delicious food was actually the beef she had grown up eating! The idea that Chinese people are so magical came into her mind again and again along with the delicious food.
Chen Yiping and Huang Weitian also gave some to their little sweethearts Albert and Master Seder. Master Seder was very happy to receive the beautiful things. Now not only Miss Susanna is full of admiration for Chinese food, but also Master Seder He also began to feel that Chinese food was magical. Even his great-aunt's recent illness began to improve under the treatment of Chinese doctors. Young Master Seid now has a wonderful affection for China.
Seeing Chen Yiping and Huang Weitian, Seide invited them to sit in the professor's dormitory of the old lady Cavendish. The old lady's condition had improved and she had to come back to class. The minister could not stop him, so he had to Let her come back, but because of her special situation, her servants and a specially hired Western doctor also came with her. The Chinese doctor was not willing to live with a foreign lady, and only promised to come to her every week. The follow-up visit can be regarded as giving Mr. Huang some face.
Chen Yiping and Huang Weitian returned to the dormitory and took away the last piece of braised pork, intending to give it as a meeting gift to the old lady. When they took it away, the eldest lady was extremely unhappy. Chen Yiping said: "I will continue to make it for you tomorrow." She let them go reluctantly.
I went to the old lady and received her warm reception. After not seeing her for half a month, her condition was obviously better, and the lump in her throat was also much smaller. Although her face was still sad, she looked good. Got a little fatter.
Chen Yiping said: "I'm glad to see you are recovering well. We also brought our own Chinese delicacies for you to try."
The old lady invited them into the house, and with the enthusiastic help of Chen Yijun, the old lady ate a piece of beef with a fork. When she ate one piece, she felt that the texture was wonderful. After the second piece, she couldn't put the fork down, and she praised it while eating. This is good. The old housekeeper next to him happily said to Master Seid: "It's rare for Madam to eat so much recently!"
When the old lady learned that all this was done by Chen Yibin, she became even more fond of Chen Yibin. The old butler brought many freshly baked biscuits and poured each person a cup of fragrant black tea. The four of them chatted while eating snacks, and time passed quickly.
The old lady liked to ask her about Chinese delicacies because she had eaten Chen Yixing’s braised pork. Huang Weitian was also a rich lady who had eaten at many Chinese restaurants, so the three of them chatted happily about the delicacies.
Before leaving, the old lady packed two boxes of biscuits for them to take back to the dormitory to eat, and said: "If you are free, these two lovely girls must come and sit with me often. I promise, I'm not a nasty old Cavendish woman at home." She laughed, obviously aware of the nicknames the students had given her behind her back.
Chen Yijun had the experience of being bedridden in old age in her previous life, and she knew the pain of the elderly. In fact, physical illness is one aspect, but the biggest pain comes from loneliness and emptiness, especially without children to support her. Whenever she is ill, When it's severe, the feeling of fear and loneliness becomes even more serious, so Chen Yibin usually takes Huang Weitian to see the old lady while having afternoon tea, and drinks some afternoon tea while chatting with the old lady. Relieve boredom.
Moreover, Chen Yiping found that she and the old lady could still chat well, not only in terms of the taste of delicious food, but also in some aspects of how people behaved. Gradually, the two of them became quite chatty, and I People called her: "My dear Jiahe," although the tone of Shaffer's accent was a bit strange, but it was still quite cordial. Chen Yiping called the old lady: "My friend Lily." The two gradually became friends. We have a year-end friendship that seems to transcend ages.
Huang Weitian expressed deep admiration for this. She felt that Chen Yiping could handle everything from a difficult young lady to a sad old lady who lost her husband. It was so admirable.
Chen Yiping couldn't tell Huang Weitian that it was all because she had experienced the experience of being an elderly person. She could only say: "Treat her with a sincere heart." This kind of thing seemed awkward to her, so she thought After thinking for a while, she said, "Actually, just think of her as the grandmother or grandma at home." Huang Wei nodded, but later she still went to the old lady's place to play, but not as frequently as Chen Yiping.
Chen Yiping saw a book "The Lady and the Gardener" on the old lady's bookshelf one day. This is a book that arouses people's imagination from the title. In fact, there is no book with the plot that people can imagine. The book was so intensely written that it was not banned in Schaeffer until Chen Yibing's death. In other words, in this era, this book was still a masterpiece.
This book is actually a story about an affair between a wife and a gardener. There is not even any exciting plot such as assassination or heroic deeds. The only key to supporting this book and making it famous in history is that this book There are various superb love descriptions everywhere in the book, such as the wife and the gardener in the cabin on the back hill, in the pavilion in the garden, hiding in the master's cloakroom in the big house... various exciting places and The thrilling love description makes this book shine in Schaffer's literary history.
This is just like the position "Jade Fu Tuan" occupies in the hearts of ancient Chinese literati. The more you are not allowed to see it, the more you must see it.
Mrs. Cavendish obviously also noticed that Chen Yibing was paying attention to the book "The Lady and the Gardener". She smiled slightly and said mischievously: "It's very imaginative, isn't it?" Chen Yiping followed the smile knowingly, and then next time When she came to visit, she brought a manuscript she had written and said to the old lady: "I hope it won't scare you, dear Lily."
The old lady said: "One of the benefits of people living older is that there are fewer and fewer things that can scare you." The old lady calmly read Chen Yibing's manuscript, and then picked up the usual tired phone. The red pen marked her manuscript, especially some places where she thought the wording was not very beautiful.
Chen Yiping's manuscript was originally written in Chinese. It was hastily converted into English and the vocabulary was not very fluent. With the help of the old lady, it got a lot better. But after reading the whole story, the old lady was still not satisfied, so she almost asked her to rewrite it, but she was concerned about their friendship and saved her some face.
Chen Yiping took the manuscript back and sat at the table for a long time in the evening. She suddenly realized that she did not need to care so much about the problems that Lu Yunhe and his friends brought to her. It was like a person being bitten by a dog, and then There is a reason why you should not bite a dog. Chen Yiping tore up her manuscript and thought: The best way to fight back after being bitten by a dog is to kill the dog or put a collar on the dog!
As for the ungraceful biting of a dog's fur, that's not what Chen Yibing should do. All she had to do was stand high and look at Lu Yunhe with disdain, like a stranger. She was a woman he had to look up to see!
The tired and tense final exam was finally over. Everyone celebrated until very late that night. They packed their bags and left the school the next day. The long Christmas vacation at Condon University began.
When the eldest lady was packing her luggage during the day, she asked Chen Yiping: "Where will you spend Christmas?"
Chen Yiping said: "We Chinese people don't celebrate Christmas, we celebrate the Spring Festival." After the two chatted for a while about the differences between the Spring Festival and Christmas, the eldest lady said awkwardly: "After Christmas, Our Baiersen family will hold a grand ball, and there will be a lot of delicious food at the ball. You can go and eat it, and learn from my chef by the way."
Chen Yiping has become accustomed to the eldest lady's duplicitous way of speaking, so she said: "Okay, I'll go. I'm honored to receive your invitation."
The eldest lady said: "Whoever invited you is just asking you to eat our Schafer delicacies. Don't think that only Chinese delicacies are delicious." After thinking about it, she added: "If you bring gifts on the day you come, If so, I hope it’s a delicious piece of braised pork.” Chen Yibing laughed.
Considering that these foreign students cannot go home for the holidays, the college specially organized them to hold an indoor masquerade party before Christmas, which will be held at St. Ivan College. Everyone can dress up in any imaginable way, just for fun. Each person will also be given a mask to maintain a sense of mystery.
Chen Yiping was still thinking about rewriting her manuscript, so she didn't go to such a party too many times, but Huang Weitian was not happy. Although she couldn't go to this masquerade because she was a local, she especially hoped that Chen Yiping would say , she said mysteriously: "The masquerade is very exciting and very interesting, you must go." Chen Yiping was forced by Huang Weitian's lobbying and finally nodded in agreement.
After returning to the Huang Mansion, Chen Yibing began to rewrite her manuscript for the second time. This time, her mentality also changed a lot. She felt that her writing skills were not professional, but she could make money. The level is professional. If Lu Yunhe dares to say anything unfavorable to her in newspapers and magazines, then she will not play the role of an abandoned wife in such and such newspapers and magazines. She will directly buy a newspaper office and attack her specifically. Lu Yunhe and his friends are fine!
The change of thinking made her suddenly enlightened. Even the articles she wrote were no longer as urgent as before. The manuscript she rewrote was not about romance, but about her time at Condon University. Studying experience and introducing Condon’s experience of studying abroad. Many outstanding talents in China now study abroad, but few people introduce their situation after studying abroad. In later generations, a writer who was particularly respected by the Chinese once wrote about studying in the United States. The experience was well received.
Chen Yiping considers herself not a professional writer, and she doesn’t want to plagiarize, but her writing about the United States has been well received, so it’s okay for her to write about Condon University. Maybe in the future, more people will write about their experiences studying in France and Germany, which will also be helpful. At this time, the closed-minded Chinese people understand foreign countries from a perspective.
Thinking this, she chatted with Mr. Huang for a few words during dinner in the evening. Although Mr. Huang was already in Shaffer, his heart was at home. This is a deep feeling shared by almost all Chinese people in this era. Patriotic complex, when Mr. Huang heard her idea, he praised her for having an idea, "Let more people study abroad and see a wider world."
Chen Yiping's writing style is just like herself. The text is simple and concise, without too many gorgeous words, but it contains the appearance of being in Condon School, the description of each college, and the classification of some academic departments, etc. , who helped the old lady in Cavendish, described it very thoroughly. Once the manuscript was published in China, it aroused widespread praise in the industry.
