"Have you ever eaten dumplings?"
When I placed two plates of freshly cooked dumplings on the table, Amy had already drank more than half of the Coke and there were not many octopus balls left.
"What's so great about dumplings!" Amy said disdainfully, "There are so many dumplings in American supermarkets that otakus use them as a substitute for instant noodles. Not only that, the name of 'dumplings' in the United States is 'jiaozi'
!”
Having said that, Amy tied a small dumpling with a bamboo skewer of octopus balls, put it to her mouth and blew on it, then took three bites before eating it.
Judging from her expression, she responded well to the dumplings stuffed with three fresh shrimps.
"Huh? Don't you know how to use chopsticks?"
I was very dissatisfied with Amy's repeated use of bamboo skewers to poke the dumplings. Many dumplings were punctured by her until their stomachs and intestines were broken, and she gave up the dumplings that could not be picked up.
"Why do you think I know how to use chopsticks?" Amy said as she poked several dumplings to show her dissatisfaction. "I really don't understand that you Chinese people have invented thousands of kinds of food, but the tableware only has two pieces of wood.
Stick! Isn’t this a problem for people from other countries? Ah—I understand!!”
Amy slapped the table with great enlightenment. The joy of Sakyamuni's sudden enlightenment and enlightenment may not be as heartfelt as hers.
"——I understand! The ancestors of your Chinese people must be very stingy!"
"How can you see that?" The dumpling I held suddenly stopped in mid-air.
"How stupid! Think about it! The Chinese people made so many delicious things, but only provided such difficult-to-use tableware. They definitely hope that guests from far away can only look at the delicious food and not be able to eat it because the tableware is not convenient.
It hits your mouth! Even if you try your best, foreigners who are not used to chopsticks can only eat very little!"
Eh? This is a very novel theory, but Amy, you also think that our ancient gentlemen are too evil-minded! Don’t forget that you yourself also have such evil-minded blood flowing through your body!
"Hmm..." Amy held her chin and assumed the thinking posture of a famous detective, "The clues are all connected. When I think about it, the truth becomes clear! Your Confucius once said: When a friend comes from afar, it is not
Isn't it a pleasure? - The real meaning of this sentence is this: Confucius saw that the visiting foreigner couldn't use chopsticks and couldn't eat the delicious food in front of him, so he covered his mouth and made fun of him!! Okay!
Evil Confucius!!"
You've had enough! Not only did you blackmail the ancients of the Celestial Dynasty, but also Confucius! Apologize to me! At least apologize to the delicacies of the Celestial Dynasty that you are eating!
After eating 1/3 of the dumplings on her plate and popping the rest, Amy was full.
She pushed the carton of octopus balls to my hand and said coldly: "If you haven't finished this, give the rest to the manservant!"
I looked and saw that there was only a solitary octopus ball left in the corner of the carton.
"There's only one left. It seems you like eating it."
I reached out to pinch the bamboo stick stuck on the octopus balls, but Amy looked at me with a malicious smile:
"It's not one pill, it's half a pill! I ate half of it before I realized I couldn't eat it anymore..."
I picked up the octopus ball, and sure enough I found that it had a small bite on it, which looked like the Apple logo.
Amy asked me to eat the octopus balls she had bitten. She was originally just trying to play a prank on me to see how I would react, but because my father had been talking to me recently about the tragic situation of the North Korean people's lack of food, I
I value food more and more.
So I didn't think much and took the half octopus ball into my mouth and ate it without hesitation.
Amy looked surprised and a little disgusted.
"Hey! Why do you eat something that others have bitten? How unhygienic! You have such a bad habit. If you eat something unclean and get sick, who will do it for me?
"
I chewed the octopus balls slowly and then answered her calmly:
"It doesn't matter, I will eat everyone's leftovers. In short, as the ancients said: Who knows that every particle of a plate of food is hard work. - It's not good to waste food, and I don't think you are dirty..."
"How rude! How dare a mere servant say that the master's saliva is dirty?" Amy showed an offended look on her face, "Even if there is no master-servant relationship, you, a savage who looks unworthy of the audience, dare to criticize a beautiful woman.
Is the child’s saliva dirty? Hum, one day I will make you drink my saliva willingly!”
I ignored Amy's unreasonable fuss and cleaned up the remaining ripped dumplings on her plate.
"You can really eat it."
After leaving the dining area, Amy stared at my belly, which was not bulging, with a disgusted expression, "You are obviously a pig with your appetite!"
Hey, you asked me about my religious beliefs and then you called me a pig. Be careful, I got angry and went to blow up the White House with a bag of explosives! And from a genetic point of view, calling me a pig is not worth the gain.
- If I were Pig Head Brother, you would be Pig Head Girl!
After walking a few steps, Amy drank the Coke in her hand into an empty bottle. I was worried about how I would refuse her if she asked for Coke again. Unexpectedly, her eyes lit up and she saw the DQ ice cream shop opposite the escalator.
"Huh? There is actually a branch of Dairy Queen in China! Servant, go buy me a waffle cone!"
Oh, it turns out that DQ here is the abbreviation of "Dairy Queen"? I always thought that DQ refers to the Japanese national game "Dragon Quest"! No wonder the DQ ice cream shop doesn't sell slime cones! I used to use it when I was in elementary school.
The store clerk asked for that kind of thing! At that time, the store clerk looked at me like he was looking at the Piccolo Demon King. It’s so embarrassing to think about it now...
I handed the waffle cone with three ice cream balls to Amy, and she took it proudly. She has been bossing me around since we met today, and she has never even heard a single complaint. This makes her very successful.
feel.
"Hmph, the loyalty is about 50%..."
Amy said to herself at a volume that she thought I couldn't hear.
Seeing that I didn't buy ice cream for myself, Amy asked strangely:
"Servant, don't you like it? It's very sweet!"
It’s not that I don’t want to eat it, but I was so full from the meal just now. Asking for a whole portion of ice cream will make my stomach full. If it’s just an ice cream ball...
Amy seemed to have guessed what I was thinking. She raised the waffle cone as high as possible. Although she was more than thirty centimeters shorter than me, she said in a condescending and condescending tone:
"I can't help it. You look at me like a Guinean refugee. I'll give you an ice cream ball!"
"But..." she added with a smirk, "two of the three balls have been licked by me, you can choose the one that has not been licked!"
As she spoke, she playfully played background music for us:
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."
What kind of fuss is going on with such a tense background sound? Just eat ice cream, do you think this is playing Russian roulette!
I didn't even think about it, I bit the ice cream ball facing me directly into my mouth. Amy was caught off guard and the dubbing stopped abruptly.
"What a big mouth." Amy commented while licking the remaining two balls, "Are you a hippopotamus?"
Because I ate the ice cream so quickly, I felt a numbness in my nose, and I was temporarily speechless. No matter if I was called a hippopotamus or a seahorse, I could only acquiesce.
Unknowingly, I and Amy walked to the game center on the same floor. Only through a layer of glass, we saw several groups of young people playing games inside and having a great time.
Amy glanced away from the top of the ice cream ball and said without particular interest:
"It's really backward. They are all outdated machines. These games have long been eliminated in the United States."
"But...just think of it as nostalgia!"
