Chapter 439: Sore to the teeth
These words made Ai Zhuojia and the others' eyes widen. As for Western food, that's what foreign devils can eat. If they can eat one meal, it will be enough for them to go back and talk to others for a year and a half.
They listened to Master Wei's explanation very seriously and eagerly, but their family's cultural level was not high and they were unable to record the key points word for word. Each of them recited a few sentences, but over time they still forgot most of them.
"Master Wei, can you explain it to us again?" In the end, they couldn't make the kite exactly as it was, so they had to ask the shop owner for help again.
“I’m sorry,” Master Wei smiled apologetically and shook his head: “I will only explain it once to each guest team. After making sure that you all understand, my duty will be considered completed.
If you didn’t hear it clearly, when the next group of guests comes, why don’t you listen to it again? Or do you accept a two-hour penalty? "
Ai Zhuojia shook his head repeatedly: "Let's think about it again. If we still can't make it, we'll wait for the next group of contestants."
Making a kite is not difficult, but for laymen who don’t know much about it, it is very difficult. If a step is missed, the kite may not fly, or it may not fly as high as others.
After pondering for a long time, they finally waited for the third group of contestants.
Ai Zhuojia and the others finally listened to the complete and detailed kite-making steps twice and became the second guest group to make the kite. They were so excited that they went to eat Western food next door!
The decoration of the western restaurant is quite satisfactory. It still has two floor-to-ceiling glass windows facing the street. The dim and romantic lights shatter the residual heat of summer. The unique slightly bitter and rich aroma of coffee is lingering with the fragrance of milk and wheat. It is full of... It is an enjoyment that brings peace of mind and happiness.
It seems that at this moment, the irritability, embarrassment, and sadness are all blocked out by the glass revolving door.
An Zhixia and the others occasionally go to the Western restaurant for toothpaste, so they are no strangers to this place. The food in the store is very complete. Each of them ordered their favorite food, then flipped through the magazine and waited quietly.
When Ai Zhuojia and the others came in, the food for the Fang family had just been served. Some of them didn't know how to place their hands and feet, and the previous momentum of competing for first place disappeared without a trace, and they followed the waiter to their seats in a reserved manner.
After getting the menu, they didn’t know how to order, in order to avoid being laughed at. Ai Zhuojia directly pointed to the waiter An Zhixia's table and said: "Help us take care of their dishes. We will eat delicious food later and continue to order."
Other guest groups came over one after another. Everyone was hungry, smelling the fragrance in the air, and their stomachs protested violently. With the exquisite and delicious food in their stomachs, everyone's fatigue became much lighter.
Even though Western food is quite expensive and the ingredients are abundant, people who have not had much exposure to Western food are not used to it for a while. They can't get used to the spicy taste of black pepper, the taste of salads, cheese, etc., and they don't quite approve of pasta that is inferior to hand-rolled noodles and dried noodles, especially when a lot of sugar and milk are added. You can’t get rid of the bitter coffee!
However, they have no resistance to desserts.
However, those Xia Huatong people ate with great comfort and enjoyment, and also conducted science popularization with other guest groups, which also gave the audience a more concrete understanding of Western food.
“Teacher Xiaoan, why do you think the program team arranged for us to be in a Western restaurant? Isn’t it meant to showcase our Xiahua culture at home and abroad?” a guest asked in confusion. "Besides, we don't know how to use knives and forks. If foreign friends see us, will we be laughed at?"
"No," without An Zhixia's reply, Xia Huatong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Each country and nation has different living habits, interests, etc., so naturally it's impossible to know everything, right? You are not used to using Knives and forks, then we don’t know how to use chopsticks.
So don’t have too much psychological burden. Xiahua people are not very good at this. They are particularly concerned about other people's opinions. According to us, just be happy and don't need to worry about other people's opinions. People are forgetful. Who will remember whom when they turn around? "
Everyone laughed and stopped there without further discussion.
An Zhixia smiled and shook his head: "I am a guest on 'Speed Xia Hua' and I need to avoid suspicion, so I don't know the intention of the program team."
Even if she knew it, she couldn't admit it in front of the entire audience.
"But I guess that since the Western restaurant is opened in our Xiahua, it should also incorporate some elements of our Xiahua, or it may have become a corner of the city. This is a typical example, so it can be recorded in the program so that the audience can understand it. At the same time, it can also make overseas audiences feel our Xia Hua's determination and preparation to integrate into the international family little by little?
Today's society is developing rapidly, and exchanges with many international countries are also becoming more frequent. We must learn what Mr. Cai said to be "tolerant and inclusive" and take the best of the best and discard the bad. This is not only ideological, but also material, cultural, etc.
Let me ask you, when you came here to eat, was it a big shock when you first came in? Now after eating, your mood has changed a lot? "
Everyone nodded and spoke honestly about their changes.
"Right, why did the ancients pay attention to teachers taking their students to travel around? It's not just to go out and gain more experience, broaden your horizons, and be open-minded. It's also good for us to try more things that we haven't had any contact with or have not had much contact with." An Zhixia He pursed his lips and chuckled.
"That's the truth," Rong Haijun, deputy director of the Kyoto Museum, nodded in agreement: "This Western restaurant is very famous on the pedestrian street of Tianshi. The organization allows him to open it, but how to open it and what it will be used for has to be decided by the organization. Have the final say.
It is a Western restaurant, but it is a Western restaurant for Chinese people. It is an international food culture that has stripped away the bourgeois shell.
Our people’s lives are getting better and better, why can’t we taste the delicacies of other countries? We suffered a lot from the isolation of the younger generation, and now we should keep up with the international pace. "
Others nodded one after another. The organization did not say that the Western restaurant should be closed, which meant that it was acknowledging that it was harmless and could be consumed by the people. They don't have much culture, but they know that the more experience and experience they have, the more people are making strides forward.
People nowadays are particularly concerned about national affairs, and they also like to talk about big-picture things when chatting. They were chatting all over the place, which made the audience’s teeth sore.
The audience suddenly realized that they might be so disgusting in their daily lives.
While waiting for the Western restaurant to be sampled, the twelve guest teams finally gathered again.
At night they will stay in the most luxurious hotel in Tianshi Pedestrian Street. As soon as they entered the hall, they were stunned by its splendid and luxurious appearance.
