Chapter 2: breakfast
Chapter 2 Breakfast
"Good morning, Uncle David, here is the newspaper you ordered. When I came in, the postman was leaning out of the car window, trying to stuff the newspaper into the inbox."
"Really? He just delivered it now? Then he was late today. Thank you, Roland."
"Good morning, Aunt Ganetti, your dress is so beautiful today."
"Oh, Roland, you have a good eye. Your Uncle David bought it for me as a New Year's gift."
"Good morning, Ashley, Mary, why are you two yawning? Sleepy?"
"Um…"
When Roland followed James and sneaked into the other party's house, in the big dining room, except for Elizabeth, who was under the age and sleeping upstairs, the other members had already sat down: David with beard and wearing a gray sweater was seated. The chief, while taking the "Los Angeles Times", smiled and nodded at Roland; beside his right hand, there were two child seats, and Ashley and Mary, who were dressed in the same clothes, were lying at the dining table , yawning sleepily; and the middle-aged white woman sitting among them and taking care of them is their mother, Ganetti.
The two parties have known each other for many years, and all the words of the guest are omitted.
With Roland and James seated, all members are here.
Without delay, they went directly to the prayer session. When Ganetti spread the napkin to his legs, the breakfast kicked off.
Paul, the author of "Style", once cruelly revealed a fact: a hundred years ago, obesity was a sign of success, but now, obesity is a sign of the poor, and fast food products, beer, and potatoes are their favorites, while the rich are more Stress organic, eat spirulina, invest more money in fitness... getting fat is easy, getting thin is expensive.
As he said, high-calorie public meals that are heavy in oil and sugar are simply not on the table of the Olson family.
What blood sausage, bacon, baked beans, cheese toast scones, none of these.
Muesli (Muesli) and green milkshake (GreenSmoothie) are standard on the table, while boiled eggs (BoiledEgg), omelette (Omelette), scrambled eggs (ScrambleEgg), poached eggs (PoachedEgg) are optional Meals.
Of course, the omelets in the Olsen family are not the same as those sold in restaurants, with cheese added.
Scrambled eggs are really just scrambled eggs in the literal sense, without salt, oil or seasoning.
It seems that I have been used to eating these things since I was a child, but it is more like being sleepy and unable to think.
Even though there were waffles, blueberry muffins and other bread-like foods on the table, the listless Olsen sisters didn't want to eat them. With straws in their mouths, they sucked the green milkshake one after another. James, who had a sweet tooth, quietly stuffed a bagel into his mouth while his parents were not paying attention.
Looking at the food on the table, Roland was a little emotional.
Although the taste of these things tends to be light, the price is enough to crush more than 80% of the food.
Just the green leafy vegetables and various fruits used to make green milkshakes for six people are enough for an ordinary couple to eat for a day.
‘Although I am five years younger than the one in Chicago, the living conditions are very different. '
He said something secretly in his heart, and then Roland speeded up: he swallowed a hard-boiled egg, finished a plate of scrambled eggs, poured down a bowl of yogurt-foamed muesli, and then, under James' surprised eyes, he hugged A bottle of green smoothie.
"Roland, why do I feel that your appetite has improved?"
"You never ate so much before."
Roland's movements cannot be hidden from others at all.
After witnessing Roland's fighting power with his own eyes, James, who was extremely sleepy, suddenly regained his spirits.
In fact, since half a month ago, he felt that the other party seemed to be a different person.
Not only has a cheerful personality, but his appetite has also increased.
You know, the two of them went to the same school.
In the past, when he was having lunch, he ate all the potato chips and mashed potatoes on Roland's dinner plate!
Swallow like now?
Not at all!
Appetite improved?
Roland raised his eyebrows, he also discovered this problem.
Regardless of past life or present life, he is not the big eater Randy who can swallow everything by flipping the brim of his hat.
In his previous life, he ate at most a bowl of chaoshou in the morning, and the original owner of his body was just a bowl of muesli plus an egg.
But now, after eating so many things, he still feels that there is still room in his stomach.
‘Could it be possible—after time travel, I have the talent of Uncle Tun? '
Of course, this kind of nonsensical guess, he just thought about it.
The real Roland who disappeared left him a room full of comic books.
Marvel, DC, these are all covered. In addition, the dark horse comics that were only created in 1986 are also collected.
With these things in place, he should not even think about it in the high martial arts plane.
However, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, things have to be explained.
Feeling the concerned eyes from Aunt Ganetti and Uncle David, Roland opened his mouth and came.
"possible…"
"Is it because Aunt Ganetti's cooking skills are very good?"
“Although they are all scrambled eggs, they are different from those sold in restaurants outside (no oil, no salt, no seasoning).”
"And this green milkshake, sweet and sour, tastes good..."
Hearing these words, James' face froze.
It's a pity that he hasn't **** a bitch.
Otherwise, he will definitely find that Roland at this moment is very much like the second Daime Dahua who tasted Jiang Feng's cooking skills.
oh! My good brother, you probably got kicked in the head by a donkey, right?
What my mother did was obviously grass! How can you still taste a meaty taste?
However, Roland's words made the Olsen couple at the dinner table laugh.
Same as James.
Since last month, they discovered that Roland had changed.
Become more lively, more cheerful, and more able to talk.
Unfortunately, the current Charity World Peace is only a few months older than Roland.
Otherwise, they would definitely think that Roland had been opened up by the other party to the second channel of Ren and Du. Unlike the bearded man who had comprehended Sharingan, what he had was Xeon Zuidun.
"James, look at Roland, he is as tall as you, but definitely not as heavy as you."
"Do you know why?"
"Because Roland doesn't eat those high-calorie foods."
"Look at how healthy he is now, he doesn't have the fat on your body at all."
"I've told you many times that the green milkshake is delicious, but you just don't want to try it."
The behavior of preaching to children can be found in any country.
It's a pity that Ganetti is a white man, and he doesn't have the talent of reciting like a black man, and it doesn't rhyme at all.
But even so, the long speech made James curl his lips.
Looking at Roland, he also retracted.
Resting his chin on one hand, scanning the dinner plate, the food without oil and water made him uninterested.
Why is Roland not as heavy as me?
Isn't it because he doesn't eat much school lunch?
You let him eat two hamburgers a day and try!
It's strange not to grow horizontally!
It seemed that he felt that preaching in the morning was not good, but it was more like protecting his son's self-esteem. After seeing his wife chattering a lot, David, who was sitting in the main seat, wiped his mouth with a napkin, coughed, and interrupted. the other party's words.
"James, it's okay to like to eat meat, just exercise more."
"Ganetti, did you put oranges and cashews in your milkshake today? It tastes like a tropical fruit."
"Very good, it seems that Roland and I have the same taste."
In just three sentences, the family lecture was directly suppressed.
David knows his wife, who was born as a dancer, and pays attention to eating healthy and keeping fit. He also knows his son, who is still young and underage, and has poor self-control in terms of diet.
The former problem cannot be solved, and the latter problem will take time.
In this way, it is the best choice to make a mess and change the subject.
After seeing his wife silent and his son speechless, he turned his attention to the cause of the incident, Roland.
"Roland, how did you think about what I told you early last month?"
"If you want to try it, I will accompany you there later?"
"Don't be nervous, it doesn't matter even if you fail, it's just for fun."
Roland's changes these days were seen by David and remembered in his heart.
From being dazed and dazed when he learned of the death of his parents, to being reticent later on, to suddenly being cheerful half a month ago, Roland's transformation is very much like Sarah Connor who firmly believed that the Judgment Day would come.
At the beginning of the adoption, Roland, who became taciturn because of the death of his parents, made David very worried.
In order to help him get out of the shadow of sadness, David consulted a psychologist.
The suggestion given by the other party is: either try to let Roland change his environment and temporarily break away from the two-point and one-line life of school and family; or develop his hobbies and stop being bored at home all day.
These two suggestions made David suddenly enlightened.
For their family, it is too simple to achieve the above two points at the same time.
After returning home, he discussed with his wife and asked her to have a relationship and give Roland a chance to film.
The crew belongs to the life outside the two points and one line, and filming is also a way to develop people's hobbies.
However, just as the couple had planned everything, at the beginning of last month, they heard about an audition opportunity and told Roland that they would take him there to have fun at the beginning of next month. The autistic Roland suddenly disappeared. up.
The taciturn Roland became cheerful, and this sudden change also made the husband and wife a little puzzled.
Now that he is better, is it still necessary to take him to the set to play?
Both David and Ganetti were undecided.
So this matter was delayed again and again.
until today.
Finalize the audition day.
Note: ① Xiangjiang calls Green Smoothie green fruit dew, and Baodao calls it energy soup, but I prefer to use the literal translation to call it green milkshake, because this thing is more mysterious than Coca-Cola, and the real recipe is mainly green leafy vegetables. Others The ingredients in the refrigerator... You can add any fruit you want to open the refrigerator; the founder of Birchbox, a beauty e-commerce company acquired by the American pharmaceutical giant Walgreens and Boots Group, likes to drink this thing; and this thing can replace meals; Nuo In Lan's "Batman" trilogy, Christian Bale has several clips of drinking this stuff.
