Text Chapter 367: Going to University
After he finished chatting with Zhao Jie in the evening, Zhou Jiexi took Niu Niu and Joe together to visit Zhao Jie's parents' house.
"Joe, you're welcome. Come on, this is rice wine I brewed myself. It tastes very mellow. Try it!" Father Zhao enthusiastically poured a glass of rice wine for Joe who was sitting next to him.
"Thank you, I will try it!" Joe on the table couldn't stand the persuasion of Zhou Jiexi and the Zhao family, so he also sat down and had some wine. He was too embarrassed to refuse this meeting to the enthusiastic father Zhao.
"The taste may be a bit weird at first, but you will feel much better after you drink a few more sips!" Zhou Jiexi also said to Joe beside him.
The three big men on the table started to drink too. The wine was over thirty and the dishes were over-flavoured. They all got a little smoked after drinking, and each of them blushed a little. Qiao's alcohol capacity is not bad, and he drank a lot of this kind of rice wine, but he is still in good spirits and his thinking is normal.
Niu Niu gave Zhao Jie and Zhao mother a long time ago. I took it to the room to play. Zhao Jie lived here when he was a child, and he also left some mending toys here. The little girl is also obedient. When she saw her father drinking with her uncle and grandpa, she became obedient after eating. I went to play in the room.
"Xiaojie, tell me what you want to ask me about eating. You didn't tell me when you were eating just now. Now that we've finished eating, let's talk about it!" Father Zhao was To light a cigarette, he said to Zhou Jiexi. Old Zhao has been in the United States for some years, and his addiction to smoking is almost irresistible.
Seeing that Zhao's father was about to light a cigarette, Zhou Jiexi didn't answer him, but quickly took out the medicine smoke made by the goblin in his own space: "Uncle, smoke this for me. I made this at home by myself. Smoke it up." Not only is it comfortable, but it also clears the lungs without hurting the body!"
Old Zhao looked at the cigarette that Zhou Jiexi handed over in surprise, a white stick-shaped cigarette without any label. I took one and put it under my nose and smelled it, and immediately I felt a fresh air inhaled into my nose, "Well, this smell is very strange, but it smells very comfortable!" Lao Zhao commented, just With the intention of giving it a try, I ordered one to see how it tasted.
He knew Zhou Jiexi's character, so he didn't suspect that the homemade cigarettes were flavored. That is the so-called marijuana. Cigarettes or other things. After Old Zhao lit it, he inhaled a mouthful, brewed it in his mouth for a while, and then spit it out slowly.
The smoke drifted into the air, not only would it not be pungent, but one could also smell a faint scent of medicine, but one couldn't tell what it was. Joe just smelled it, and it won't make people feel uncomfortable like inhaling second-hand smoke. Faintly, he also wanted to inhale more of the exhaled air to feel more comfortable.
Seeing Joe's appearance, Zhou Jiexi also smiled complacently: "Hehe... Joe, you should try this thing too, it's very refreshing, I added a lot of precious herbs into it, the most important thing is According to my formula, this thing is completely harmless to the body, and it can also clear the exhaust gas in the lungs."
"Oh?" Joe was also a little surprised, but the smell of second-hand smoke just now made him a little comfortable, which also made him believe what Jiexi Zhou said! After receiving the medicine cigarette sent by Zhou Jiexi, he picked up Lao Zhao's lighter and lit it.
Old Zhao had already taken a second breath at this time, and after spit it out, he opened his mouth and said to Zhou Jiexi: "Good thing, really good thing! I breathed it into my lungs and I exhaled it, and it felt as if my lungs became more comfortable. Many, even the nose is much more comfortable. After years of smoking, the cough that always occurs, surprisingly, I didn’t cough up.”
"Uncle Zhao, I'm not bragging about this. I've been tinkering with myself for a long time. I don't know how many ancient books I have read. Later, I got some from an ancient Taoist description of alchemy. Materials, combined with my experience from other books I have read, and my little knowledge of herbal medicine! Hehe... finally came up with this good thing for me!"
Speaking of this week, Jessie also ordered one for himself, took a sip beautifully and said: "The cost is a bit high, and the production can't be wrong. I have to be very accurate step by step, so that I can make it The medicinal effects are compatible."
Old Zhao listened to Zhou Jiexi talking, and couldn't help nodding his head, and after hearing a few words, he couldn't help but said with emotion: "Really, it's a very amazing thing! But it's not ordinary to make such a troublesome thing. Ah, the 5,000-year-old history of our nation has produced amazing things, and the wisdom of our ancestors is beyond our imagination!"
"That's right!" Zhou Jiexi also nodded and said, "Otherwise, what comes out won't taste like this at all. Thinking back, when I followed the recipe in the ancient book, I lost a flavor of the medicine, and I used other medicines with similar properties instead. Yes, the previous smell is all right, but after taking a sip, I almost coughed to death, and in the end, my lungs and throat still had a strange itching, a little prickly, and I was so sad!" Zhou Jiexi said a little bit Unbearable look.
Then Zhou Jiexi followed Zhao's father, Lao Zhao, and chatted about some ancient books and the history of the Celestial Dynasty. But Lao Zhao heard from his daughter that he, the boss, went to worship a master on a whim, and he was still a strange man, and he was said to be a figure like Huang Feihong.
Not only is he proficient in boxing and kicking, but he also has very powerful medical skills. Looking at Zhou Jiexi like this, he believed it. It is really true that he can train the ignorant Zhou Jiexi so well in such a short period of time. It is not something ordinary people can do.
Well, under some explanations from Zhao Jie, Lao Zhao knew that Zhou Jiexi was not bad, but he was a bit ignorant, wasting his youth and time for nothing. Although the vision of investing in this area is indeed good, but Lao Zhao is a cultural person.
Although he didn't see money as dung, but he didn't have much affection for those vampires on Wall Street! It is said that Lao Zhao once seemed to have the experience of investment failure, so he can concentrate on learning. He is a professor of languages, proficient in many languages, and some ancient languages.
The most important thing is that he taught at Stanford, or the kind that has been there for decades, and he is almost a local snake in Stanford. This was Zhou Jiexi's secret metaphor. He didn't dare to express his thoughts to Zhao Jie or Lao Zhao. Isn't that just looking for smoke?
"Xiaojie, I really can't see that you know so much knowledge at such a young age. You know four languages alone, and you have learned everything else. I really underestimated you before! I have to apologize." Lao Zhao didn't have any scruples in speaking, and directly shared his previous impressions, and now he has the courage to speak out.
Zhou Jiexi was a little embarrassed for what he said. Although he understood a lot, some things were still helped by the goblins in the space. "Where is it, Uncle, you praise me. I really have nothing to praise you for. It's just that I have memorized a little more books, and I haven't mastered them. It's really nothing!"
What Zhou Jiexi said seems to be very good, but it sounds a bit pretentious. It's just that he was really saying polite words, and he didn't mean to be pretentious.
"You kid is becoming more modest now, don't worry, I really read this meeting right!" Old Zhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and didn't say much about it: "Tell me that you came here suddenly What's the matter with me? I've already asked Zhao Jie, but this girl just won't tell me, she just wants me to talk to you."
"Well, don't blame Sister Zhao by mistake. This is what I told you. It's better for me to ask you personally about this matter." Zhou Jiexi said to Old Zhao.
"Oh! Then Xiaojie, what are you talking about, inviting you here?"
Zhou Jiexi took a sip of water before saying, "This is Uncle Zhao, I heard last time that you work at Stanford University!"
"Well, I teach at Stanford, but sometimes my course is a bit unpopular!" Lao Zhao said to several people with a little humor. But seeing how few people didn't laugh, I knew that I was really not a humorous person. "Okay, you go on."
"It's like this. I have learned a lot of biological knowledge by myself. Now I want to go to Stanford to study it systematically. I want to ask you how to do this." Zhou Jiexi said to him.
Zhao's father was also surprised when he heard the words: "Biology, you taught yourself?"
"Well, yes! I have learned a lot of Chinese medicine knowledge from the master, as well as the knowledge of denomination and dispensing of medicines. This also made me understand the magical effects of these strange herbal plants and some parts of those animals. There was a lot of excitement."
Old Zhao nodded from time to time, but he looked more and more fond of Zhou Jiexi. ‘Well, this kid is still a good person, and he can still do this when he is rich. He is such a good boy. "
"I not only read ancient books at home, but also started to learn the basics of biology, some chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc., which can be used. But what I learned is very general, and I can't reach any professional level at all. Layers!" Zhou Jiexi didn't lie when she said this, but some details were changed.
"That's it, Xiaojie, you have a great desire to pursue progress! You're asking what it takes to get into school, right?" Old Zhao first praised Zhou Jiexi, and then asked again.
"Yeah. But I'm not going to college, I want to go to graduate school. I don't want to waste time getting credits in college, and then slowly go to graduate school. It's just too much trouble!"
"You can't even get into college now, so you just thought of going to graduate school?"
