I kidnapped an alien civilization

So Li Mo also stretched out his hand, and gently held both hands together.

He felt his palm being gently scratched by the girl opposite, and secretly thought, is this also a habit of foreigners?

Li Mo pretended not to know, quickly let go of the hands that were holding each other, walked to the table and sat down.

Sir, ma'am, your menu. Seeing that the guests were all seated, the waiter handed over a menu.

Steak, lamb, pork, chicken, fish.

Spaghetti, lansange lasagna pasta.

Roast beef, roast pork, roast lamb, roast chicken, lansange, quiche.

Looking at the menu, Li Mo regretted a little, and promised Wei Xiaonian to come to this western restaurant.

When having dinner with friends on weekdays, he usually likes to order boiled pork slices and boiled fish for meat dishes, and peanuts for side dishes, and then two dozen beers.

Forget it, let's order a steak, anyway, I don't eat much, Li Mo thought to himself.

I want a steak, he told the waiter.

The waiter bent down, took notes, and asked, How familiar?

Somewhat cooked, I want to be fully cooked! Can I still eat raw? Li Mo replied as a matter of course.

Fully cooked? The waiter widened his eyes, showing a surprised expression.

Li Mo realized that he had made a fool of himself, but he still believed that food should be fully cooked before eating.

He asked: Yes, fully cooked, can't it be done?

...Yes. The waiter quickly replied, it can be seen that he has received professional training.

Zhang Xuemei, who was on the opposite side, smiled and saw that Li Mo had ordered a well-done steak, and said, I want a medium-rare steak, and a mozzarella cheese salad with tomatoes.

Wei Xiaonian was obviously not very familiar with Western food, so he smiled awkwardly and said, I'm the same as this lady.

The waiter went down with the menu to make arrangements, and there was silence in the box.

Student Li Mo, don't you think about the suggestion I invited you to Princeton last time? Zhang Xuemei suddenly asked with a smile.

Li Mo frowned and didn't answer yet. Wei Xiaonian next to him said in a low voice: Xuemei, didn't you say that you just wanted to get to know Li Mo? Why did you suddenly poach a corner?

Zhang Xuemei ignored him and still smiled and said, Professor Wilson has already discussed with the college. You can directly study for the professor's postgraduate in the past and provide you with a full scholarship.

As she spoke, she stopped, took a sip of water, saw that Li Mo did not respond, and said, Professor Wilson is very famous all over the world, and graduate students who graduate from him can easily enter the world's top 500 companies. company.

Li Mo looked at Wei Xiaonian the same way, is this what you call a treat?

He tapped the water glass in front of him with his fingers, and said with a smile, Are you one of the world's top 500 companies? It just so happens that Weihua Company offered to hire me with an annual salary of 1 million, but I rejected it.

Weihua company, the Weihua company that became popular all over the world recently because of the Xingkong mobile phone system?

It is said by the media that it is most likely to break the case, Zhuo is a dominant Chinese company in the mobile phone field?

It seems that Zhang Xuemei also knows the name of Weihua Company.

Li Mo nodded. He disdains Zhang Xuemei's behavior. If it wasn't for Wei Xiaonian's face, he would have left by now.

Sir, your well-done steak.

Miss, your steak is medium rare.

The waiter quickly put the dishes together.

Li Mo made a mistake with a knife and fork, how to use it?

Fortunately, he has always followed the principle of pragmatism, picked up the fork, inserted it directly into the steak, and then cut the steak bit by bit with the knife.

Pfft. Zhang Xuemei, who was on the opposite side, laughed when she saw Li Mo's meat slaughter.

She picked up the knife and fork lightly and said, When eating Western food, you should hold the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand.

Look, that's it. He made a meat-cutting gesture while speaking.

Li Mo watched her movements and took the initiative to adjust his way of eating. And thanked her: Thank you, I don't know much about western food etiquette.

Zhang Xuemei said mischievously: Look, Western food is the food that civilized people should have. This beautiful technique, this lyrical music, how intoxicating, and how harmonious the coordination of knife and fork is.

Li Mo frowned, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said: The storehouse knows etiquette. In my mind, chopsticks are the most suitable for human beings to use when eating. Adults use long chopsticks, and children use short chopsticks. People can always find Chopsticks that suit you.

Seeing that Li Mo did not agree with her statement, Zhang Xuemei was not angry, she still smiled and said: You have a genius-like brain, and you can only display your talent if you go abroad, to the United States, to a holy place of mathematics like Princeton. It’s a waste of money to stay in China.”

Li Mo laughed loudly, Do you think Gauss, the prince of mathematics, left because of the fame of the University of Göttingen, or did the University of Göttingen become famous because of Gauss?

Knowledge is knowledge, and science is science. In Li Mo's eyes, it's that simple. I won't go to other places for fame.

After speaking, Li Mo stood up, smiled and said to Zhang Xuemei: By the way, beef may carry salmonella or E. coli. After humans eat raw or under-cooked pork or beef containing cysticercosis, the larvae develop into tapeworms in the intestines. , causing people to suffer from taeniasis. Mild cases of cysticercosis may have no symptoms, and severe cases can cause the patient extreme pain and even death. Therefore, eating beef that has not been heated at high temperature still has certain health risks.”

Wei Xiaonian, who was delivering beef to his mouth with a fork, quickly dropped the fork upon hearing this.

Okay, I usually don't eat much, I wish you a happy meal, goodbye. Li Mo said to the dumbfounded two people and motioned to leave.

After leaving the gate of the restaurant, Li Mo breathed a sigh of relief. How did Wei Xiaonian know Zhang Xuemei?

Brother Mo, why did you come out so soon? Bodyguard Zhou Dayong miraculously sprang out from behind him, while Brother Qiu was still standing beside Wuling Hongguang in the distance.

Why are you here? Li Mo was a little surprised.

Zhou Dayong said carelessly: Because this is outside the campus, I am a bodyguard.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, Okay, have you eaten yet?

Zhou Dayong scratched his head: I have eaten it. In the past few days, there are special work meals provided by the company. Three dishes and one soup.

Well, Li Mo has long heard that Weihua Company's benefits are good, and now it seems that it really lives up to the name.

Li Mo was walking slowly on the side of the road with his bodyguard Zhou Dayong, when the phone rang, it was Wei Xiaonian.

Brother Mo, I'm really sorry today. I didn't expect Zhang Xuemei to come up with such an idea. She just said that she wanted to get to know you. Wei Xiaonian's apologetic voice came from the phone.

Li Mo said indifferently: It's okay, it's not your fault, I have already rejected Princeton's invitation, and I didn't expect to bring this Zhang Xuemei to come to the door on my own initiative.

By the way, I have written two new papers, which have already been sent to your mailbox. Help me review them. If they are suitable, they will be published in the Mathematics Monthly.

Wei Xiaonian was overjoyed when he heard the news: Okay, I'll go back and have a look at it right away, and I will publish it for you as soon as possible.
