I feel that Cao Xiaoyu really doesn't get along with the rest of us. Usually when we eat together, she just sits alone in the corner, really like a transparent person.
Only Li Kun took the initiative to talk to her, and he left alone after every meal, never chatting with us or anything.
She said she was worried, but every time I went to talk to her, she was very talkative.
Later, I thought she might just not like this kind of atmosphere, so I never talked to her again.
We sat down together and chatted together.
Boss Tang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Brother Chen, you are really good! My wife is so beautiful, she is even more beautiful than those stars on TV!"
Chen Dajiang immediately echoed: "Old Tang, I have told you, but you are still not good enough, and now you believe it?"
"I believe it, I believe it. No wonder you don't agree to so many beauties coming to you. Now I understand."
I immediately glanced at Boss Tang: "Old Tang, you can eat this food as you like, but you can't talk nonsense! When did a beautiful woman come to see me?"
"Isn't there a little girl who came to see you this morning, asking for your WeChat account? I saw it all."
An Lan immediately looked over at me, with questioning eyes.
I quickly shook my head at her and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, it really doesn't happen."
"Haha! Are you scared? Let me tell you, Brother Chen, aren't you always a coward in front of people like us? Why are you scared?"
"Old Tang, first of all, I didn't offend you!"
I knew that Boss Tang was just joking, so he turned to An Lan and said: "Old girl! I just lied to you. It's nothing. Brother Chen has a very clean life style and never gets along with anyone.
Socializing with people of the opposite sex that I know.”
Of course An Lan knew it was a joke and she didn't take it seriously, so everyone started laughing.
This atmosphere is so good, and I am really happy at this moment, happier than I have ever been.
Cao Xiaoyu was the first to leave the table. She didn't even say a word and left silently.
Li Kun saw her leaving and followed her.
I didn't ask them where they were going and continued to chat and laugh with everyone.
We also let Alyssa taste the glutinous rice cake we went to buy this morning.
She said she had never eaten anything like this before and when we asked her how she felt?
She nodded her head, said it was delicious, and then ate several pieces in a row.
I asked An Lan to tell her not to eat too much because this kind of food is not easy to digest and can easily lead to food accumulation.
Boss Tang was not a stranger at all. Seeing that Alice was so interested in Chinese food, he immediately said: "Lingling, go and bring out the half-pot of folded ears from the kitchen."
"Ah?!" Tang Ling was stunned for a moment.
Alyssa asked decisively: "What is Zheergen? Is it also your local delicacy?"
"Yes, Miss Ai, let me tell you, the scientific name of this herb is Houttuynia Cordata. It is only eaten in places like Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. It is a food that we regard as top delicacies... You see, none of us are on it.
For the table, because it’s too expensive.”
Alyssa really believed it and said with an exaggerated look: "Then do I have this honor?"
"Yes, yes, it's necessary! As a distinguished guest from afar, of course you have it."
As Boss Tang said, he waved to Tang Ling again: "Lingling, hurry up and bring it out!"
Tang Ling was a little helpless and glanced at me. I nodded to her, and then she went into the kitchen to get it.
An Lan said to Alyssa: "Alyssa, folded ear root is indeed a delicacy here, but most people can't accept the taste... so you have to think carefully."
“When you come to this place, you must try the local food.”
All of us were snickering and waiting to watch the excitement.
Because this folded ear root is really not acceptable to ordinary people, except for people like us who are used to eating this kind of food.
Tang Ling brought it out quickly. The folded ear root was still ready to be served cold.
Boss Tang took the lead and picked up a pair of chopsticks, put it in his mouth, and chewed it with an expression of enjoyment.
Boss Tang is probably the person who likes eating folded ear root here the most. He doesn’t even need any condiments, he just washes it and eats it raw.
After eating, Boss Tang greeted Alice: "Come on, come on, you're welcome! Please..."
Alyssa knew how to use chopsticks, but she didn't use them very well. She also picked up a few chopsticks and smelled them first, and she frowned.
Boss Tang said: "Don't smell it, just put it in your mouth and eat it. You have to fully enjoy the taste."
Encouraged by Boss Tang, Alyssa started eating decisively.
Immediately, her expression became distorted, the same as when she tasted the taste of folded ear roots for the first time.
We all thought she would spit it out, but she insisted on eating it. Although she kept frowning, she said: "This tastes so special!"
We all looked at each other a little bit because her reaction didn't meet our expectations.
Boss Tang also said: "Don't you think it tastes bad?"
"Fortunately, it was a bit strange when I first tasted it, but it was quite fragrant and left a lingering aroma in my mouth after eating it."
I answered: "Then it seems that you are suitable for eating Zheer root. Some people can't stand it and vomit after eating it for the first time."
An Lan also went on to say: "This kind of food is unacceptable to many people, and even I can't eat it."
"I think it's not bad! It's not bad. I think I can try to take some back home." Alyssa said, picking up another chopstick and eating.
Boss Tang then said: "Yes, yes, we will pack some for you when the time comes. You can take it back to your hometown and let people around you try it... If they think it is good, you call us and we will start a cross-border trade."
."
Boss Tang really doesn't forget to make money everywhere, but what he said is really not wrong. If he can really push Zheergen overseas and let others accept it, then this will be a big deal!
Alyssa echoed again: "I was thinking just now, is this called Zheergen?"
We all nodded and said its scientific name was "Houttuynia cordata".
Alyssa added: "I was just thinking! Would it be more acceptable if this kind of food was put in burgers?"
Hearing what she said, all of us looked shocked. Who would have thought of putting dog-ear roots into burgers?
What is this if not genius?
Chen Dajiang answered at this moment: "Hey, don't tell me, you can really give it a try."
I was also quite speechless. We were having a good conversation, but why did we end up talking about Zou Ergen?
Let’s just talk, why did we talk about an alternative food?
But this is really happy. Everyone is not exclusive about Alyssa at all. Although many of them have never met An Lan, they are not indifferent to them at all, but are very enthusiastic towards them.
This is also the reason why I am willing to live here all the time. It feels like everyone is really like a family and it is very warm.
