Thomas looked up at the almost dark sky, with some hesitation, "Yeah, I really miss the big barrels of beer in my hometown."
"Let's go to Qingdao when we have the opportunity. I heard that the beer there is good and is made with German craftsmanship."
"I've had it before, it's too weak!"
"That's better than nothing!" Xu San arranged the skewers on the stove and brought the baked ones to the table, "Eat these first!"
"Bang!" Thomas pushed open the bottle cork with one hand and poured half a glass of wine for each of the three of them. "Come on, today to celebrate my getting to know the beautiful Miss An Hong, I'll do it first as a token of respect."
Thomas's cup was quite big, half a cup was about two taels, but he drank it in one gulp.
Xiaohong looked at Thomas's bold look and felt that this guy was quite nice and talkative, and he was not ambiguous about his drinking.
She looked at Xu San and asked with her eyes, "How much should I drink?"
Xu San picked up the glass and drank it all, and said, "You can drink it as you like. This whiskey is sour and not good to drink!"
"Pop!" Thomas smashed the bottle onto the table, pointed at the trademark on the bottle and said, "This is Glenlive, the top quality whiskey!"
Xu San took the wine bottle and poured it for himself and Thomas, "I can't drink it anyway, any brand tastes the same."
Seeing Xu San's attitude, Thomas grabbed his gray hair hard and said, "You are such a hug, a hug."
Looking at Thomas, Xu San said with disgust, "I am a man, I don't want a man's hug!"
"Little Train, do you want to say that everything is wasted?" Xiao Hong asked weakly from the side.
"Yes! That's the word!" Thomas said, picking up the wine glass and taking a sip.
"The cultural circles are different, and the aesthetics of wine are also different! I am really not used to drinking your whiskey, but sherry is acceptable." Xu San took a sip and said, "But beer is a common hobby of people all over the world, eh , I will instruct the kitchen to prepare something when the time comes."
"Be more prepared!" Thomas emphasized.
"Beer has a shelf life, and it's not convenient for us to store it here, so we can't prepare too much. Besides, no one else drinks it except the two of us!"
"It's okay, I can drink whatever you prepare." Thomas said proudly.
"Papa~" Xu San reached out and patted Thomas's belly, "You'd better drink less beer on this stomach."
Picking up a bunch of kidneys that were still dripping with oil, he said, "This lamb kidney is my favorite!" He took a big bite and ate it with a crunch.
Xiaohong's brows moved slightly, feeling why it was so awkward to call kidneys kidneys, and hearing this word seemed to instantly reduce her appetite.
"When being used as food, you should call it y-yao, z-zi!" Xu San said this in English, correcting Thomas's inappropriate word choice.
"Is there a difference?" Thomas asked.
"It's easy for people to have bad associations and affect appetite!" Xiaohong said.
"ok, y-yao, zi!" Thomas corrected his pronunciation again.
Xu San took two bites of the mutton skewers and said, "That's right, Xiaoluo, you still lack practice in Chinese. I reluctantly give up and let Xiaohong practice Chinese with you. How about ten pounds an hour?"
"It's too expensive! The price is not so high in London! I can pay up to two pounds, and that's for one day!" Thomas said.
Xiaohong listened to the two people talking and seemed to feel that she was being betrayed again.
Just this time
It feels different
"Five pounds!"
"Three pounds!"
"Deal! Two hours each time!" Xu San picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Thomas, then took a sip of wine.
"Bah!" The wine glasses collided, Thomas took a big sip of wine and said, "But I will give this money directly to Miss An Hong!"
"No problem, but you also need to give some advice on An Hong's English. How about that?" Xu San said and clinked the glasses with Thomas again, then drank it in one gulp.
"Okay, small question!" Then Thomas drank the wine in the cup, put it in the cup, burped, poured the wine again, turned to look at Xiao Hong and asked, "How is Miss An Hong's English?" Sample?"
"I only know 26 letters and a hundred or so words." Xiaohong said sheepishly.
Thomas suddenly paused when he picked up the mutton skewers. He looked at Xu San, "Xu, isn't Miss An Hong kidding?"
"No! She is at this level!" Xu San shrugged, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
He took a bite of the mutton and took a hard bite, "You fooled me again! I think you should let me teach Miss An Hong English, right?"
"That's right!" Xu San said.
"Then just say it, but why do you still charge me?"
"Hmm~" Xu San pretended to be thoughtful, and then said, "I'm afraid that without this financial relationship, you won't be able to teach me properly! After all, money can't be wasted, right?"
Thomas was stunned for about two seconds before he laughed, "Haha~haha, Xu, your reason is so perfect!" Thomas laughed heartily, not at all annoyed at being cheated by Xu San.
Xiao Hong poked Xu San with her finger and asked in a low voice, "He clearly knows you cheated him, why did he seem to agree?"
"Thomas is a person who attaches great importance to the spirit of contract. Although we only made a verbal agreement, he will definitely abide by his promise!" Xu San explained with a smile.
The spirit of the contract can be understood literally, but very few people can abide by it.
Seeing Thomas laughing heartily and drinking wine heartily, Xiaohong couldn't help but feel guilty, so he asked in a low voice, "Is it really okay if you cheated him like this?"
"It's okay, Little Train is used to being cheated." Xu San said in the same low voice.
Xiaohong nodded, and suddenly felt that Thomas was quite pitiful. He had probably been tricked since he met Xu San, and he didn't know how many times he had been tricked until now.
Wine, no matter what it is, as long as you drink it, you will basically become talkative.
The same is true for Thomas. Putting aside teaching English, Xu San and Thomas talk about football and Old Trafford the most.
Xu San is a fan of Manchester United. As a native of Manchester, Thomas is naturally a fan of the Red Devils, and he is also a die-hard fan who has witnessed Manchester United from its founding to its rise.
During this period, football was still a workers' sport that had not yet been invaded by capital and was still very pure. Therefore, Thomas was always elated and high-spirited when talking about Manchester United. It seemed that he experienced every game personally.
Football brings the two men closer, but alienates the beautiful girl.
Xiaohong can still say a word when she is not talking about football, but as soon as the two men talk about football, Xiaohong next to her is no longer a beauty, but air!
Depressed, she drank alone and looked at the two idiot men. He really felt that they might have some kind of unknown relationship.
