The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 2962 Leisure Time (Thirty-two)

Then the people who had entered the house earlier came out and discussed the issue.

Tim's family is a typical large family, as can be seen from his series of aunts and uncles, but perhaps it is also because his grandparents and grandparents are all reconstituted families, each with several children, so it is particularly lively.

But he didn't think there was anything good about it at all, and he didn't understand why Peter expressed envy. His head was buzzing when he thought of his aunts and aunts.

Even now, the main reason why he wants to have a relationship is that as long as he has a partner, he will have an excuse to move out. He really doesn't want to live with a big family anymore.

Jason also comes from a large family, but his family is his own choice, that is, the former children's gang, which is different from the situation of most people and has no reference value.

He said that he didn't know whether it was better to be in Wayne Group now or to be on the streets in the past. Of course, good or bad does not refer to the living standard, but the social atmosphere. When he was wandering on the streets, although he had no food to eat, as long as he returned to their small base and saw his companions, he felt that everything was worth it.

Harley's situation is similar to his, or she has experienced both. Before her parents died, she was from a typical small family. Later, she wandered the streets and made many friends.

Steve expressed his understanding. Although he was also born in a small family in the city, he once had a group of bad friends, Bucky was one of them. They played together since childhood, and they were busy every day, which made up for the loneliness of the small family.

Matt is from a single-parent family. His father is a boxer. He has been bullied since childhood. His loneliness is the most serious, but he met his girlfriend earlier. Erica is worse than him. The two of them huddled together for warmth. Now they have a child. The loneliness of their youth has gone with the wind.

Raven is somewhat similar to Schiller. He has no father or mother, but lives in a relatively harmonious community environment. There are people who play the role of father and mother respectively, and there are many ordinary people who take care of and educate them.

On the contrary, because of this special growth environment, they don't have too much obsession with family. They don't think that they must form a family and continue their bloodline in order to have a stable social circle. They know better than anyone that the family atmosphere actually depends mainly on what kind of people the family members are, rather than whether they are related by blood.

This shows that Dick and Raven have different pursuits for family environment, but interestingly, Jason and Harley, who have similar experiences, have more prominent conflicts in this regard.

Jason chose to form a family without blood ties because he needed his family, and for Harley, although she didn't have to be responsible for the death of her parents, she was actually not sad or regretful. Later, the people she met while wandering on the streets were just temporary helpers for her. In general, Ms. Quinzel doesn't need a family.

Going deeper, Jason hopes that he can be responsible for others, and he can feel happy from this process of responsibility. Taking responsibility is his way to realize his self-worth.

Harley is not like this. She avoids being responsible for others, but hopes that others can be responsible for her, and become the responsibility of others, so that she can feel her own importance.

In a sense, they are very compatible.

Everyone got sleepy while chatting. The main result of this chat was that Peter finally decided to raise a cat with Gwen. They had already decided on the adoption location and would go see the cat when they returned to New York.

Early the next morning, Schiller set off. Although the farm party didn't start until the evening, it was a bit far away, so they had to drive there in advance.

Because Pamela needed to carry out the cabbage beating plan, she went with Schiller. Tim also wanted to go with him, but he didn't have anything to do, and he couldn't do anything if Schiller didn't take him.

Not long after Schiller set off, Steve and Jason also set off. Steve took the FBI's security mission. After all, someone claimed that there would be an assassination case, and they came to the West Coast for this, so they naturally had to go and keep an eye on it.

But the FBI couldn't bring outsiders with them when carrying out the mission, so Tim had no reason to follow them.

Harley, Tim, and Barry all came late, and they hadn't had a good time here, so Tim took them to the city of Los Angeles.

Tim was always thinking about the party at the Love Farm, so he was always distracted. He could hide it from others, but not from Harley. She was sitting in the co-pilot seat and turned to Tim and said, "What are you thinking about? You didn't hear me talking to you just now."

"No, nothing, I was just thinking that this small party actually gathered so many big shots and could influence the situation on the West Coast."

"That's not like the kind of emotion you would express." Harley said, "Are you actually thinking about what unknown secrets are behind this party?"

"The current situation is still clear." Tim said, "I probably already know the relationship between the forces in this universe, and I can probably think of what they want to get from this party, but I instinctively feel that something is wrong."

"Then trust your instinct." Harley said, "We are very similar. We always have a genius intuition, and that is our lifeline in many cases."

Tim shook his head and didn't say much. He obviously trusted his rational judgment more and felt that he should not be disturbed by inexplicable intuition.

Harley just smiled and didn't continue to persuade him.

Because it was the weekend, Los Angeles was particularly congested. After they walked around the city and looked at the street scenes, it was already noon.

Several people discussed where to eat. Tim naturally wanted to fool around and find a cafe to eat a sandwich. Barry didn't care about it at all, but Harley and Peter were more picky.

Harley had a high consumption level and had always only eaten good food. Peter was influenced by Schiller and was completely unaccustomed to eating white people's food. Even if he was busy in the laboratory, he had to eat well.

Several people walked around for a long time and didn't decide what to eat. Finally, Tim shouted, "It seems to be Chinatown over there?"

Peter looked at it and found that it was not. It could be said that it was a Chinese community. It didn't have the bright and exaggerated decoration style of Chinatown, but Chinese was everywhere. According to his experience, the restaurants here should be delicious.

Several people really didn't want to go shopping anymore, so they drove into the community. Peter was obviously the most experienced. After getting off the car, they walked along the street and Peter looked inside one by one.

First of all, if there are too many people in the kitchen, you can't enter. It's best if there is only one person cooking and one person helping. If the menu is too fancy, you can't enter. It's best if the menu is customized more than ten years ago and is now white and unclear. You can't enter if the waiter is too enthusiastic. It's best if the waiter looks impatient and can't even count the number of people.

Of course, there are many extra points, such as a child doing homework at the front counter, wearing glasses is best, the boss lady scolds people in Cantonese on the phone, the apron is best with Chinese printed on it, and the wooden table must be covered with a tablecloth and a plastic mat, and the plastic mat is yellowed.

Peter accurately picked a restaurant that looked very authentic at first glance. After a few people walked in, the waiter shouted something they didn't understand, and a few people went to the table they pointed to and sat down.

There are many dishes on the menu. Peter picked some very skillfully. He rubbed his hands and said, "Believe me, this one is right."

After a while, the food in the casserole was brought up, exuding an indescribable rich aroma, followed by the steamer, and many small snacks on plates.

None of them knew how to use chopsticks, not even Peter, so they could only eat with a fork. Harley forked a piece of hot sausage from the casserole into her mouth, slurped a few times, and gave a thumbs up.

They had been dragging on for too long, and they were all a little hungry, so they started eating like crazy, mainly because Peter didn't brag, he was really good at choosing Chinese restaurants, the dishes here were hot and fresh, rich in color and flavor, and each time they were eaten, they tasted different, very authentic.

Tim didn't actually recognize most of the ingredients, but that didn't stop him from feasting, until he was almost full to his throat, he collapsed in his chair and said.

"All I can say is, long live Chinese food."

"What's your city's name? Gotham, there should be good Chinese food, right? Have you never eaten it before?"

"I don't have your skills." Tim shook his head and continued, "I don't have so much free time, and through the takeout menu, I can't understand what these things are."

"You can't have too high expectations for Americans like him." Barry said, "It's good that he can learn to use the takeout app."

"You are the most vicious Flash I have ever seen." Tim said, "Didn't your peers mention this? You should learn to talk to them."

"Don't mind, it's the sequelae of writing a thesis."

Tim took the menu and confirmed which dish was which. Obviously, Chinese food may be a frequent food in his office in the future.

After comparing, he found that there was a dish that he had eaten yesterday, which was made by Schiller. He thought about it and said.

"Maybe Schiller has a good taste in food, but his cooking skills are terrible. The vegetables he made yesterday were not tasty at all."

Peter was a little surprised. He said, "Schiller made this stir-fried vegetables yesterday?"

"Yes, you came late and didn't eat it, but there is nothing to regret. It is indeed not very delicious, far worse than the restaurant."

"No, I mean, how can he make stir-fried vegetables?"

Tim also looked at him with a little confusion and said, "Doesn't he like this very much?"

"What did you say? This "Is it a Cantonese restaurant?"

"Yes, because it is Cantonese cuisine..."

"But Schiller doesn't like Cantonese cuisine, his favorite is Sichuan cuisine." Peter said: "Boiled fish, Kung Pao chicken, garlic pork..."

From the accent of Peter when he said these words, it can be heard that he should eat them often, and then he said: "The doctor can really eat spicy food."

"Didn't he say that he has a light taste?"

"He has a light taste? ! The taste of his cooking makes me suspect that he was a fire-breathing dragon in his previous life!"

Tim paused blankly.

Schiller actually doesn't like Cantonese cuisine? In other words, he didn't go there for the famous Cantonese chef?

Then what is the reason why he must go to the banquet?

Why did he tell him that he has a light taste and specially made Cantonese cuisine to deceive him?
