Chapter 2585 Garlic
As Lu Fei continued to outline with the pencil in his hand, the oval pattern became clearer and clearer.
Wade's sapphire eyes stared at the phone screen without blinking, but when the lines were about to become clear, Wade's eyes rolled in excitement and he almost fainted.
Two minutes later, Lu Fei's hand finally stopped.
Taking the drawing paper farther away and admiring it, Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction.
"Perfect, that's what you look like. I'm sorry, buddy. It's been so long since I last saw you. I almost forgot what you looked like. Fortunately, I finally remembered it. Otherwise, it would be a sin."
Lu Fei talked to himself for a while, then gently put down the drawing paper, and his face appeared in front of Wade for the first time.
"Okay, my work is done, you can say what you want to say."
"However, it is very late now. I can only give you ten minutes because I want to rest. I have to greet my bride with the fullest energy tomorrow, otherwise she will be unhappy."
Lu Fei was smiling all over his face, and his attitude was so gentle. But at this moment, Wade couldn't adapt to Lu Fei's smile at all, and he suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.
"Well, why didn't you speak? Didn't you want to chat with me just now?"
"I'll only give you ten minutes. If you don't tell me, you'll have no chance. Don't blame me for not being a good friend!" Lu Fei said with a smile.
At this time, Wade had no intention of chatting with Lu Fei, let alone testing him.
Seeing the pattern drawn by Lu Fei, Wade couldn't wait to study it. Compared with this pattern, Lu Fei's tricks with the Thomas family and Xiao family were not as important as this pattern.
"Fei, you are right. You will welcome your bride tomorrow. You must have a good rest tonight. I won't disturb you. If you have any questions, we will talk about it when we meet tomorrow. I wish you a sweet dream. Goodbye. friend."
"Hey, Wade, what the hell do you mean, my pants are all..."
Before Lu Fei finished speaking, Wade had already hung up the phone.
Seeing Wade hurriedly disappearing from the phone screen, Lu Fei raised a smug smile on his lips.
"Boy, I can't cure you anymore?"
"What are you talking about?" Chen Xiang's voice came from not far away.
At this time, Lu Fei noticed that Chen Xiang hadn't slept yet. This time had already passed her biological clock, but instead of being sleepy, Chen Xiang was in high spirits. She didn't know whether it was because she was excited or because she was thinking too much, but Lu Fei To be sure, Chen Xiang's inability to sleep must not be a grievance.
Because from her eyes, Lu Fei could feel that Chen Xiang was really relieved. This was even happier than giving Lu Fei 100 billion knives.
"Oh, it's nothing. Aren't you still asleep?" Lu Fei said with a smile.
Chen Xiang shook his head slightly: "I can't sleep. By the way, the pattern you just drew is so strange!"
Chen Xiang pointed her slender fingers at the oval shape Lu Fei drew last and asked, "Why does the pattern on it look like a head of garlic?"
land
Fei smiled and gave Chen Xiang a thumbs up: "You have really good eyesight. Yes, this is a head of garlic."
"Pfft, it's true!"
"Why did you draw a head of garlic on such a beautiful six-pointed star? Does it have any meaning?" Chen Xiang asked.
Lu Fei put his hand around Chen Xiang's slender waist, pulled her over and pressed her on his lap and said with a smile: "My wife is smarter. This is indeed a head of garlic, but this head of garlic is really not simple. There is a story in it. Do you want to hear it?"
When the story was told, Chen Xiang suddenly became interested: "Of course."
"Okay, then let me tell you, garlic is just an ingredient in China, but in the eyes of the Jews, it is a sacred totem-like existence."
When talking about the status of garlic in the hearts of the Jews, we have to start with their tragic history.
After the Babylonians defeated Egypt in 609 BC, they replaced the Assyrians and gained dominance in the world.
And occupied Jerusalem in 586 BC. Jerusalem, the holy city that is also the birthplace of several major religions, is also the birthplace of Judaism.
The Jews were left without a king, their temples were razed to the ground, and they were forced to leave Jerusalem for 70 years.
Later, when the first group returned to Jerusalem from Syria, Egypt, and Turkey in 538 BC, only 42,360 Jews remained, including 7,337 servants and 200 singles.
During the Jewish flight, the population suffered a sharp decline due to natural and man-made disasters.
Ezra, the messenger of God in Judaism and the founder of Judaism, promulgated in the form of law the rules of Jewish daily life designed to protect the human race and reproduce future generations.
A number of "dietary hygiene" standards are set out in the Code.
Among them, the consumption of pork and shellfish is expressly prohibited.
Even if beef and mutton are allowed to be eaten, the blood stains in the flesh must be completely removed.
The difficult living environment and dwindling population made the Jews identify with this almost sacrosanct law.
The law specifically emphasizes that on the eve of the Jewish Sabbath, men must eat garlic to ensure the continuation of the Jewish people.
The "worship" of garlic is revealed between the lines of the article, and it is regarded as Bibicalaphrodisiac - the sacred aphrodisiac!
For this reason, on the eve of the Jewish Sabbath, friends and villagers gather together to eat "garlic meal" - Sabbath food.
Specifically, Mediterranean pickles, chickpeas, olives and olive oil are cooked together, and garlic is added.
This is the weekend garlic dinner.
In addition to legal provisions, the social customs and cultural traditions of Jews using garlic as a "totem" have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
After the daughter-in-law comes over, the mother-in-law will teach her one or two family garlic dishes; the best way to demonstrate household chores to friends is to make "garlic meals."
Therefore, garlic has an unshakable lofty status in their minds. As Lu Fei continued to outline with the pencil in his hand, the oval pattern became clearer and clearer.

Two minutes later, Lu Fei's hand finally stopped.
Taking the drawing paper farther away and admiring it, Lu Fei nodded with satisfaction. .??.
"Perfect, that's what you look like. I'm sorry, man. It's been so long since I last saw you. I almost forgot what you look like. Fortunately, I finally remembered it. Otherwise, it would be a sin."
