1745 Know Yourself Clearly
Barbeque for dinner.
For an introverted and shy person like a plumber, if the food he entertains is too good, it will add unnecessary psychological burden to him.
Barbecuing is good, just good quality meat. It won't look like you are neglecting him or anything, but it can also make him feel your enthusiasm.
The little maid is cooking the barbecue, and she has been helping here.
Because the maid and the plumber's children are still very young, even though they have been sent to daycare, they sometimes face some unexpected problems.
As soon as there was a problem, the little maid had to leave, and Lynch needed someone to take care of her, so the little maid also stayed.
Seeing the little maid, the plumber felt even more guilty.
Even his "cousin" is here, it seems he is indeed too sensitive!
If his wife really had some ambiguous and horrific bodily fluid exchange behavior with Lynch, she would definitely not be able to hide it from her little cousin.
His little cousin is a very honest child, and he knows this very well. If something like that happens, she will definitely tell him.
The ladies were preparing dinner, including Penny, who ran to help, while the gentlemen sat at the table chatting.
Chatting for a while before dinner is apparently a favorite thing for men.
Lynch gave the plumber a cigarette, and the plumber took two puffs and looked a little uncomfortable.
"You don't smoke?" Lynch was a little curious. There are actually very few non-smokers these days!
So far, no one has found any direct relationship between smoking and some diseases, and medical groups have not conducted research on this.
In the past, there were a huge number of smokers all over the world, and I had never heard of anyone dying from smoking!
So even in places like the Federation, where science and technology are developed, people still don’t realize the dangers of cigarettes!
Television, newspapers, magazines, including roadside billboards, are full of cigarette advertisements.
It has actually become a fashion, a fashionable thing.
Ladies are smoking, men are smoking, old people are smoking, even high school students are smoking!
Because people have not discovered its impact on the human body, even Congress is unable to do anything. Of course, this may also be related to the interference of tobacco interest groups.
It is impossible that there is no medical group that is not interested in the lungs of people who smoke all year round. As long as they are interested, they will find ways to get some corpses for dissection.
Once dissected, nothing can be hidden!
But they didn't say anything. There must be something else going on.
The same is true for alcohol. The medical group has only issued warnings about "health risks caused by heavy drinking over a long period of time". As a result, in the past, people did not pay special attention to whether teenagers drank alcoholic beverages.
Congress "recommends" local legislation, but most localities do not enact legislation to restrict teen drinking of alcoholic beverages.
Constraints mean a decrease in sales, which means a decrease in fiscal revenue!
In this era, don’t be surprised if you see those teenagers with cigarettes in one hand and grape juice in the other. This is the most authentic portrayal of this era, and it is also the most fashionable portrayal!
In an era when almost everyone would try smoking, it was rare for a manual worker not to smoke.
Lynch smiled and pushed the ashtray toward the plumber. "You can put it out. I thought you were used to smoking."
The plumber waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I'm fine, Mr. Lynch."
"Although I'm not used to smoking, it's not that I don't know how to smoke, I just don't smoke often!"
He took a big drag as he spoke, and the flame of the cigarette became brighter, "Look...it's not difficult at all!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help turning his head and coughing a few times, and then felt a little embarrassed, "Sorry..."
Lynch asked the maid to bring a glass of water and gave it to the plumber, "It's okay. You will feel better if you drink some water. I know how you feel now!"
For people who are not used to smoking, the severe cough caused by the roaring sensation is very uncomfortable and can even make the throat hoarse.
It's like my throat is covered with something, and I can't speak, or it's very hoarse.
The plumber picked up the cup and took several sips. Then Lynch chatted with him about some things within the scope of his work.
For example, the material of water pipes, pipeline installation, and some administrative and personnel issues at work.
Lynch is a person who is very good at making friends with people. He has worked in many, many jobs before, and he is also willing to discover different things and gain knowledge from life and work.
He had some knowledge of what plumbers do, which also surprised the plumber!
He thought Lynch couldn't possibly know what his job was like, but he was wrong!
This also gave him a natural affection for Lynch!
Anyone who can understand you, is familiar enough with your life and work, and can think of going together with you, it will be difficult for you to refuse to like that person!
People always need someone who can understand them!
At this time, the plumber completely forgot about his quarrel with the maid, and just chatted with Lynch about some things at work and changes in society.
Dinner was prepared quickly, and there was no process of advancing one dish at a time. All the roasted meats were placed on a large plate and placed on the table.
It was a sunroom with glass windows and a heater, which made it look like they were outside, but it wasn't actually cold at all!
Looking up is the bright starry sky, looking down is delicious food and wine, a perfect evening!
"You don't need to be polite, she's taken care of me for a long time, and I've always wanted to invite you over, but you know, I'm very busy and couldn't find some time until recently."
"I'm grateful to your wife, she has solved a lot of troubles for me."
"You two may have quarreled because of..." Lynch pursed his lips, "...for some reasons that may have something to do with me. I think this is completely unnecessary."
"I respect everyone, her and you, so I guess we should talk things out."
"At least this way we won't have something more unpleasant happen due to some misunderstanding!"
The plumber was already very self-blame and regretful at this time. He felt that he was so stupid!
Maybe his wife is very beautiful in his eyes, but compared with Penny, she is indeed a few levels behind!
Why would Mr. Lynch be interested in his wife?
He was a little touched, touched by the idea that Mr. Lynch could take care of a little person like him.
The other party helped him a lot, allowing them to settle down in a big city, have a car and a house, and also allowed them to have children.
He actually deserves to be damned if he distrusts Mr. Lynch and his wife so much!
He picked up the wine glass on the table and expressed his repentance, "I was too stupid. I shouldn't have listened to those people's malicious slander. I want to apologize to you for my stupid behavior, Mr. Lynch!"
Lynch smiled, "People will always make mistakes. As long as we correct the mistakes, they will no longer leave us with pain!"
What philosophical words!
The plumber held the cup and drank it all in one gulp. Wine, white wine, seemed to be in the teens.
It is slightly burnt brown and is a new product sent to Lynch by his winery steward abroad.
It looks like these white wines are new this year, but in fact they have been in rubber barrels for some time.
And they also use the latest brewing technology. During the cellaring process, the brewers added some surface-charred dragon's blood wood to the oak barrels.
Because the surface is charred, the bright red color of the dragon's blood wood itself does not penetrate into the white wine.
Just adds some nicer flavor to it, as well as some light amber gold color.
It's not gold like some white wines, or lighter in color, it's somewhere between gold and amber, not dark, it's light, and it tastes good.
Prohibition had a terrible impact on the middle and lower classes of society, but it had almost no impact on the federal upper class!
Any big shot in upper class society can legally import various alcoholic beverages from overseas for their own consumption.
Of course, they are unlikely to sell it, because the price is too low!
White wine with a temperature of more than ten degrees doesn’t seem to have much of a sensation when you drink it, but the alcohol is working!
The matter that annoyed your plumber was finally resolved, and he became more relaxed while sitting at the table.
He said this to the little maid and their cousin. The plumber was surprised at the deliciousness of the barbecue tonight. He had never eaten such delicious barbecue!
You know, barbecue is a food that is loved by all classes in the Federation from bottom to top, and plumbers think they have an absolute say in this regard!
The meat is very tender, but it's not the kind of tenderness that's intentionally undercooked to give the meat a tender texture, with blood oozing out!
He could tell that it was cooked, so he was very curious about how it was done.
Maybe better beef?
Sometimes an honest person will have his own little thoughts. He lowered his head and said to his wife, "Your skills are getting better and better, and the barbecue is very delicious!"
As he spoke, he pressed the cut meal bag onto the dinner plate and scratched it.
The gravy and some oil were absorbed by the cut meal bag, and then he stuffed it into his mouth, looking like he was enjoying it!
The little maid rolled her eyes and also lowered her voice, "This is not beef, this is venison."
The plumber was stunned for a moment, venison?
He looked at the pieces of barbecue piled up in the dinner basin, and suddenly became a little...he didn't know how to put it.
He was also a man who had eaten beef for ten dollars a pound, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably insignificant.
The little maid didn't seem to notice that the plumber was deep in thought about life, and she continued talking about the venison.
"And don't think it's the same as the venison outside. Haven't you noticed that when you eat it, you can't taste the strange smell?"
