"So I think etiquette should not be used to convey bad intentions, create barriers, show arrogance, highlight narrowness, mark arrogance, and pretend to be hypocritical. If someone does this, it is no longer etiquette, but something

It is inappropriate; those who do that are not observing etiquette, but violating etiquette."

“It’s wrong to ignore the essentials and discard the true while retaining the false. I don’t know why every book that teaches etiquette emphasizes the elegance and style of etiquette, emphasizing personal cultivation, temperament, and appearance. Sometimes it also

They will mention respect and obedience, but they stop there at most, and ignore the most critical premise - from the heart."

"So Xunzi believed: 'The rituals are broken and short, and the losses are more than enough, but the benefits are insufficient'. He also said, 'The rituals are to respect people'. This is the biggest difference between Eastern etiquette and Western etiquette."

"If we Chinese only know how to imitate blindly and degenerate 'ritual' into 'performance art' and think that is a kind of progress, I only think it is really a kind of degradation and irony."

"That's all you can say!" Chi Xueli rolled his eyes: "You can't even stop your mouth with delicious food."

"No more, no more." At this time, the Italian macaroni and cream soup came. Zhou Zhi cut off a large piece of his black pepper steak and said, "Shui, try this flavor. It's not bad. Do you want more pasta?"

Eat some."

"Eh? Zhou Zhi, have we eaten this before?" Jiang Shuyi looked at the macaroni: "You told us it's called snail noodles."

"The ingredients are indeed macaroni ingredients, and the method is actually similar, but I paired it with stir-fried lamb with cumin and onions. I wonder if Italians will be scolded after eating it."

“I can’t believe that Jiachuan is such a small place and you can buy everything.”

"Hi! It's so funny to talk about this." Zhou Zhi said: "It was produced by a flour mill in Longgan Province, which introduced an Italian macaroni production line, and then put all Italian characters on the packaging and sent it to the Canton Fair to prepare for coaxing.

Foreigners buy and earn foreign exchange for the country’s exports.”

"My downstairs man, Mr. Yu, has a very good relationship with our family. Their third brother owns a cosmetics store in Manzhou and often travels to Guangzhou. His biggest hobby is to buy things that he doesn't even know and give away to others."

"So?" Chi Xueli had already anticipated that the story was about to get exciting.

"So when the third brother saw this, he thought it was a good thing from abroad. The key is that it was rare and cheap, so he bought a lot and brought it back to give away."

"The result is that the macaroni produced in Longgan Province of our country went all the way to Guangzhou, and then brought it back all the way. Then no one in my hometown knew how to eat it, so Guan Tingting's mother upstairs cooked it as noodles.

, I think something that is slippery and tough is not very tasty."

"Ah? Hahahaha..." Chi Xueli smiled and said: "How did you make the elbow?"

"I went to Xinhua Bookstore to check the recipe and found out that this thing is called macaroni. It turns out that it is really a kind of Western food. The cooking method is actually almost the same as our burning noodles, hot dry noodles, and especially the fried noodles in the northwest."

“It’s hard to find ingredients for Western food, so it’s better to have them prepared in Western cuisine.”

"It's delicious." Jiang Shuyi tasted two bites of the spaghetti made with red sauce at Jinjiang Hotel and recommended it to Zhou Zhi: "The one made by Zhou Zhi is much more delicious than this one."

"The recipe is actually to stir-fry mutton with green onions, but the green onions are replaced with onions, and an extra hint of cumin is added to the ingredients. Put the snail noodles into a pot of boiling water with salt and cook until cooked, then remove the drippings and set aside, wait until the green onions are stir-fried with the mutton

When it’s ready, just pour the noodles in and mix well, it’s very simple.”

"Hmm...is there anything simpler?"

"Ah this..." Zhou Zhi thought for a moment and pointed at the plate of noodles on the table with his fork: "Let's take this, red sauce noodles, chop tomatoes into puree, burn oil, add minced garlic and saute until fragrant, add minced onions, stir-fry until

From light purple to white, add tomato puree, stir-fry for a while, turn down the heat, cover the pot and simmer for half an hour, the tomato sauce is ready."

"Put salt under boiling water and cook the pasta for fifteen minutes until there are no hard spots in the middle. Pick it up and put it on a plate and pour the red sauce over it."

"Sister Chi, if you still think the taste is too simple, you can just add some white water shrimps and beans."

Chi Xueli thought for a moment: "I think I can do this."

"Of course." Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh: "Remember to use olive oil. If you can add a little butter, it will be more fragrant."

"Xue Li, what can you do?" A pleasant female voice sounded at the door, but it was Jiang Shuyi's sister-in-law and eldest brother who arrived.

"Come to my house this weekend and show you my skills." Chi Xueli proudly cooked and sold them: "Make Italian macaroni! I'll treat everyone to Western food!"

"Oh, don't dare to be fooled by this!" Tang Qi couldn't help but joke about Chi Xueli: "The person who almost set the dormitory on fire has a dark history."

"Are Shu Yi used to eating?" Jiang Wu looked at the things on the table and frowned: "Qiqi, you can do whatever you want, I'll just take this basket of bread and add this soup."

"That's what I'm comfortable with." Tang Qi said angrily, "Order another one!"

"Sister-in-law, it doesn't matter. Just let the eldest brother eat my share. Zhou Zhi and I can share his share."

"That's not necessary. I agreed to invite you today." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, Sister Qiqi, you can do whatever you want."

"I really can't get used to this. Why don't I go out to eat some dumplings later? I know a Harbin dumpling shop that's pretty good."

"Can you please stop talking about this here?" Tang Qi looked around, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Is there a pot with pickled cabbage and vermicelli?" Zhou Zhi picked up the topic: "We Chinese are more particular about the combination of meat and vegetables. After eating the foreign fried pork and noodles with mixed sauce, it is worth a visit."

"That's it, another plate of fresh meat and leek dumplings, a plate of egg white and vegetable dumplings, and a bottle of Erguotou..." Jiang Wu was excitedly teased by Zhou Zhi, and only then did he see his wife's face looking a little ugly: "Uh... that wine

Never mind……"

"Brother Jiang served as a soldier in the north?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"My brother is a master's degree graduate from Harbin Military Industry," Jiang Shuyi said.

"Hey, I'm working in an administrative job now. My master's degree is just a slap in the face, and all my majors have been lost." Jiang Wu explained, as if he was mocking himself: "A revolutionary soldier can move a brick wherever he needs to go! By the way, today

I still don’t know much about this matter, Xue Li, you and... Zhuzi, right? What’s your relationship?”

"It's fate." Chi Xueli chuckled: "At first, I went to interview Zhuzi's grandmother, an old underground party member. Later, Zhuzi came to see me during the holiday. We, brother and sister, joined forces and accomplished a lot.

Big deal!"

Regarding helping Jiachuan County Middle School to develop a question bank and promoting Jiachuan Middle School and Shudu Key Middle School to reach co-construction cooperation and study tour exchanges, and before she asked Zhou Zhi to work on "Travel Notes of Wangcong Temple", and later Zhou Zhi asked her to work on the "Aspirational Youth" topic,

This series of things is actually the result of Chi Xueliang and Zhou Zhi's mutual achievements, and it is also the faint pride of Chi Xueliang's heart.

It's just that she had been suffering from the lack of a "witness" before, and it was difficult for Chi Xueliang to show off in front of her best friends. Now she has seized the opportunity, and she talks so triumphantly that she even says something like this from time to time: "Say, elbow,

Was it like this back then?!"
