Chapter 51: The First Reunion Dinner

The process of crossing was strange, like walking through a foggy passage.

Suddenly switch to a colorful world.

Then everything is reorganized bit by bit in front of you and turned into objects one by one.

Anyway, for Qin Xiao, this process was more like waking up with carsickness and a hangover.

It's not at all as majestic as in fantasy novels, where the world's barriers are broken through and everything is at your feet.

Returning to the secret room created by Tony, Qin Xiao sat on the computer desk for a while.

Then he slowly got up and took a closer look at his house.

To be honest, compared with the housing prices in first-tier domestic cities before crossing.

Housing prices in Los Angeles are not very high.

For less than two million dollars, a high-rise apartment with one floor and one apartment has a space of nearly 400 square meters.

Although converted into Chinese currency, it is more than 10 million, but there is still a price difference.

Although the house price is not expensive, the square meters of Qin Xiao's single-person property will cost the government nearly $100,000 in additional taxes every year.

Otherwise, I have always heard that it is easy to buy a big house in the United States, but it is difficult to raise a big house.

Sure enough, it is still the traditional thinking of the Chinese people, and it feels more like home when I come back here.

House, it seems that I should buy a house to live in Shanghai next time I go back.

Speaking of this house, according to the time stasis here, today is the joy of moving into a new house.

You have to treat the guests to dinner.

Thirty percent is to carry forward the traditional virtues of China, 20% is to enjoy his luxurious new home, and 50% is to kill boring time.

Qin Xiao sent a text message to almost everyone he knew in the world.

The content is as follows:

Hi! This is Qin Xiao! Today I moved to a new home. According to Chinese tradition, when you move to a new house, you have to invite friends to dinner!

So I decided to hold a grand Chinese-style banquet at my home tomorrow night. At 19:00, everyone is welcome to my home.

PS: Another Chinese tradition is that when friends move and buy a house, they need to buy gifts and 'hongbao' for guests!

You can search Google for the meaning of 'hongbao'. Also, please note that 'hongbao' is available in Chinatown!

Attached is a screenshot of the marked points on the electronic map!

To be honest, Qin Xiao is not very good at cooking.

It's okay to make one or two simple home-cooked dishes, but it's really hard to entertain others.

But with the thousands of years of Chinese culture, if you don't know how to cook, you can't invite people to dinner?

Want to know about hot pot?

I took a trip to Chinatown and found all the bases and dipping sauces. I even bought a lot of messy Chinese-style seasonings.

You don't have to use some things, but you must have them at home, at least to have a little bit of life.

Mandarin duck pot, mutton slices and fat beef.

Qin Xiao finally understood why Chinese people could not do without Chinatown abroad.

The variety of things you can buy in one block here is definitely more than what you can buy in a big supermarket in China.

Enjoy various snacks, Tang suit, martial arts training, Cantonese morning tea and Sichuan hotpot.

They range from mustard fried dough sticks to raccoon crispy noodles.

There is a wrestling parlor, a mahjong parlor, and even shrouds and wreaths.

If you are a homebody, hiding at home every day and going downstairs to buy whatever you need is basically the same as in China.

It's just that most of the dishes in some restaurants have been westernized and are slightly different from domestic flavors.

Purchased a lot of stuff.

Carry big and small bags home.

Boil water to rinse out the base ingredients, wash and cut vegetables and place them on the table.

I washed a lot of fruits and laid them out.

Let's not talk about how to entertain guests. After all the troubles, the family suddenly gained a little more popularity.

"Perfect!"

Qin Xiao, who had been struggling all afternoon, picked up an apple at random and gnawed it while waiting for the red envelope. Oh no, a guest came.

But the first guest made Qin Xiao a little unexpected.

Dr. Banner!

Qin Xiao never sent him a text message at all. It should be said that since he was picked up by people from SHIELD, Qin Xiao didn't have his contact information.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the scene outside the door displayed on the opposite wall.

"Nicole, open the door!"

"Okay, sir!"

This is where the convenience of having to be a housekeeper becomes apparent.

"Hi! Dr. Banner, welcome to my home!"

No matter how unfamiliar he is, when he arrives at his home, Qin Xiao always has to welcome him warmly!

Banner is an honest man, although last time in the desert, Qin Xiao was playing tricks and shot himself.

But in that situation, Hulk is obviously more suitable than himself.

Seeing Qin Xiao's enthusiasm, Banner felt a little embarrassed and took out a bottle of red wine.

"I've been in good control recently. I haven't transformed for a long time. They said there was an Avengers project and asked me to develop a tacit understanding with you first. But Agent Romanov said that you are moving and according to Chinese tradition, you have to give gifts. , I brought a bottle of wine!"

"She didn't tell you anything else?"

Qin Xiao looked at his hand and saw only red wine and no red envelope.

"No! Is there anything you need me to know? She's still parking downstairs!"

Banner pointed down a little nervously.

"Nothing, nothing!"

No matter how shameless Qin Xiao was, he was too embarrassed to kill this honest man who was now homeless.

Warmly greeted Banner to sit down.

Within a few minutes, Black Widow also came up.

"Hey! Stop looking, Qin. I picked up Dr. Banner from Canada today. I don't have time to go to Chinatown to buy red envelopes. I don't know what gift to give you. Let this be considered a gift!"

Black Widow knew what Qin Xiao was thinking as soon as she looked at him, she pulled Qin Xiao over and kissed him gently on the cheek.

"All right!"

Qin Xiao helplessly spread his hands.

"Beauties always have privileges, but if the next person comes without a red envelope, I curse their anus to burst!"

I don't know if it's because of coincidence or because Qin Xiao is so proud.

Tony, a workaholic, put down his research on new elements, and even Nick Fury put down his work and came over, even with an eagle eye.

Of course, Agent Coulson, who has always been in Los Angeles, is indispensable.

Well, the six superheroes of the first generation of Avengers, except for Captain America who is still frozen, and Thor who is a naughty kid in Asgard, are all here at once.

But without exception, none of these people gave Qin Xiao a red envelope.

Some brought wine, some gave paintings, and the most amazing one was Eagle Eye, who directly gave Qin Xiao an arrow.

"What should I use this thing for? To scratch my itch?"

Qin Xiao scratched his back a few times with the arrow and complained.

"Since you are all so stingy, don't blame me for turning against me!"

Qin Xiao complained secretly in his heart, and while the fire was on, he also added two packs of spicy hot pot base ingredients to the clear water pot of the Yuanyang Pot!
