It's Christmas time again, the world has changed really big, I remember last November, I was still in the UK, when I walked in Oxford at night, the neon lights on the street had been lit, preparing for Christmas in December, this year it was like a human being, the UK was locked down, and there were many sighs in my heart, peace and health is the happiness that every earthling will pray for. I also lament that our country's anti-epidemic work has done a good job, so that we can all live, socialize, work, and eat normally. Restaurants are also, in previous years these two days crowded people, not in place, the price is still particularly expensive, this year are the same as the usual days, a few of our friends also about tomorrow to eat together, asked the restaurant, said not only has a location, the price is the same as usual, coupons can still be used, feel so cool, the world is quietly slowly changing ah.
I remember last year in England, it was also winter, during the day we went to class, every day there would be different teachers to give us lectures, men and women, Oxford graduates, Cambridge graduates, nottingham University of Nottingham staying in school young Chinese scholars, as well as Scottish professors talking about their nationalities. Most of the professors lived in simplicity, some only drank a cup of coffee at noon, some ate Chinese food with us, there were not enough dishes, and everyone ate with a plate of white rice with a fork, all of which impressed me.
It's Christmas again, let's make a lively Western meal in China today, matching the colors of red, red, green and green, just like foreigners going to Chinatown to see the lion dance in the New Year, let's also feel the festive atmosphere. Made today is an Italian-style pumpkin shrimp stew. Green leaves are French incense, a special spice for Western food, also commonly used to make the embellishment of Western food plates, when you go to the vegetable farm to prepare ingredients, you can actually buy it, immediately buy a little, although it is not very tasty, but after all, it is very good-looking, and it is worth spending a few yuan. In addition to the commonly used ingredients for Western food, butter, cheese powder, black pepper crushed, these should be prepared in advance, some imported supermarkets basically have, if there is enough time, everything on the Internet, generally two or three days can be prepared, to their families to create a Christmas, New Year's Day atmosphere, eat a Western food is a good choice.
Just a little more than a year after leaving England, bless the British people, and I would like to use this document to give us lectures to the teachers and professors of England and Scotland, who are gentlemen, polite, enthusiastic, and have their own unique personal charm, and wish them peace.
