Chapter 106: Conquering Foreigners with Food
The closer the American athletes got to the Indonesian food window, the more distinct the aroma became.
They smelled the fragrance, quickened their pace, and chatted as they walked.
When they passed by the window of the Chinese restaurant, they saw a camera inside and couldn't help but joked:
"I wonder how much pressure the Chinese food counter would feel next to the Indonesian food counter. After all, their food is notoriously bad."
"Oh my God, what kind of food smells like this? Why does it smell so good?"
As he said this, the athlete swallowed his saliva and quickened his pace.
Fortunately, they arrived the earliest, and at this time, apart from a few athletes from the United States who came together, there was no one else.
When they walked to the Indonesian window to line up, the food was still being prepared and the window had not yet opened.
Even so, the fragrance that overflows from it cannot be blocked.
The fragrance is so strong that it sticks to people's nasal cavity and stimulates their taste buds.
At this time, Qin Tiantian brought four girls into the cafeteria. They knew that Xue 77 would be the chef today, so they came early to line up.
After all, Xue 77 is very popular in China. If you go too late, the breakfast will probably be snatched up by other team members.
It was not yet time and the China window was not open. Qin Tiantian and her sisters lined up and waited, whispering about yesterday's training.
Meanwhile, the American athletes at the Indonesian window next to them were discussing in low voices:
"Chinese food is so bad, yet they still line up so early? Are they sick?"
"The Chinese just care about face."
Feis, who had been playing with his phone, finally looked up at Qin Tiantian.
Although he has always looked down on Hua Guocan, he has always respected Qin Tiantian, a talented player like him.
He thought geniuses should be high and mighty, but he didn't expect them to be so "cheap".
Faith chuckled, "Chinese food is so bad we Americans can't even imagine it. I wonder if a Chinese restaurant would feel ashamed to be opening next to an Indonesian restaurant."
The incident in which Feis "slandered" Chinese cuisine caused a great response in the country.
Qin Tiantian had already been disgusted with Fei Si by this incident, and hearing what he said, she couldn't help but turn around and retort, "Fei Si, we in China have a saying, 'Sitting in to watch the sky.' It means that a frog is trapped at the bottom of a well, and when it looks up, it can only see the sky above it. I don't know why you have such a strong grudge against Chinese cuisine, but I want to tell you that not all the Chinese cuisine you've tried is real Chinese cuisine. Chinese cuisine has thousands of varieties of delicious food, with a wide variety of flavors, and each cuisine focuses on a different flavor. If you think all Chinese cuisine is bad because one of the dishes you've tried doesn't suit your taste, then what's the difference between you and the frog in the well?"
When Faith was very young, he tried Chinese food, but the chili peppers irritated him and he developed acute gastroenteritis and almost went into shock.
Since then, he has suffered from psychological trauma and regards Chinese cuisine as ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes.
That day he witnessed a Chinese athlete arguing with the aunt at the window, and he subconsciously thought that the Chinese athlete was bullying the aunt at the cafeteria window and was deliberately looking for trouble.
The others with Feis are not athletes of the Mississippi national team. Except for Feis, none of them are qualified for the Winter Olympics.
They admire Fes, a qualified Winter Olympic athlete, and criticize and belittle Chinese cuisine just to get closer to Fes.
Faith frowned and said, "You Chinese have a saying, 'A good man doesn't fight with a woman.' I won't argue with you. If you think it tastes good, then keep eating. But if you think it tastes bad, don't go to the food window of other countries."
Qin Tiantian snorted: "Then please don't get slapped in the face."
As the two quarreled, the food windows opened one after another.
As soon as the window opened, the rich fragrance immediately overflowed.
Xue Qi also came to the window. The soup pot next to her was still boiling. There were more than a dozen soup bowls with seasonings placed on the workbench. On the small workbench next to her was a plate of noodles wrapped in plastic wrap.
Cao Yue was responsible for helping Xue Qi pass things, Sun Shaoqi was responsible for picking up buns and fried cakes, and Chu Xing was responsible for making porridge and delivering meals.
Qin Tiantian asked the other girls to order first.
As soon as the girl who came to get her meal got closer, she smelled the aroma of the soy sauce packet, which aroused her appetite and made her drool.
This braised pork bun tasted just like what she remembered, but it was dozens of times more fragrant than what she remembered.
So fragrant!
The girl immediately said, "Two braised pork buns, two fried pancakes, and a bowl of porridge, please! Thank you!"
Chu Xing quickly handed over the meal she ordered.
The little girl's hands trembled with excitement: "Ahhh Chu Xing, I love you!"
After confessing, she ran away with her plate in hand and a red face.
Chu Xing: “?”
Sun Shaoqi jokingly said, "Chu Xing, your face is not suitable for the front stage. Why don't you come behind the scenes and pick up the fried cakes and buns while I make porridge and serve the food."
Chu Xing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Just do your thing."
At the same time, the American athletes queuing at the Indonesian food window also smelled the strong aroma.
They still believed that the fragrance came from this window. They simply could not imagine what kind of dishes the chef at the Indonesian window had cooked to have such a rich and tempting aroma.
They had all eaten Indonesian food before, but they didn't think it was anything special.
Indonesian food is neither delicious nor bad, and is mainly based on seafood.
They were all very curious about what cooking methods the chef at the Indonesian window used today.
Maybe they cooked some seafood porridge, so it smells so good?
Several people came to the Indonesian food window.
One of them couldn't wait to lean on the window, rubbed his hands, licked his lips, swallowed his saliva, and said to the auntie serving food at the window:
"Auntie, what did you cook here today? Why does it smell so good? Please give me one portion!"
Auntie looked puzzled: "That's all."
As he said this, he swallowed his saliva because of the aroma from next door.
The food displayed in the Indonesian restaurant window is very ordinary and no different from usual.
When he got closer, he realized that the source of the fragrance was not the Indonesian window, but the Chinese cuisine window next door.
The Indonesian waitress serving food at the counter kept swallowing and said, "That aroma you smell must be from the Chinese restaurant next door."
She raised her chin and pointed to the next door: "It should be the smell of that bun."
The two windows are separated by a thin layer of transparent glass, so they can see what is being cooked next door.
When Xue Qi was frying the fillings for the braised pork buns next door, her aunt took a look out of boredom.
The braised pork is an alluring rich brown color. After seasoning and stir-frying for a few times, the aroma of the meat is stimulated by the high temperature hot oil.
The fragrance permeated the surroundings for a long time, enveloping and controlling everyone's sense of smell.
At this point, the only smell at the tip of their noses was the braised pork buns, nothing else. Their sense of smell was completely conquered by the braised pork buns.
The aunt looked at it through a layer of glass, and the more she looked, the greedier she became.
What shocked her the most was not the rich aroma, but Xue Qi's speed when cooking.
She watched Xue Qi quickly wrap dozens of buns, her hands moving at double the speed. Then she used the remaining dough to make fried dough cakes. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed anyone could be so fast.
i
The netizens who watched the live broadcast on s were as shocked as the aunt at the Indonesian window.
They commented:
"Is this really a live broadcast? Why doesn't it feel like it? Who can be so fast?"
"Is that a Chinese steamed bun? It's moving really fast, like a tornado! Too fast!"
"I bet this woman knows Chinese Kung Fu!"
"I used to watch Xue 77's live broadcasts, and I always thought that her speed was accelerated during the broadcast. Now
I only realized after watching the live broadcast that their speed is actually that fast! "
"This... Chinese Kung Fu really doesn't deceive me!"
"Is this the legendary Chinese Kung Fu?"
"So what if my hands are fast? It's just a show of force. Can something made that quickly taste good? Just think about it and you'll know."
"This bun-making is incredibly fast. If this were performance art, I'd give it a high score. But this is cooking. Can something made so quickly really be eaten? Poor Chinese athletes, they've been utterly devastated."
"Yes, it was a terrible disaster!"
…
When Xue Qi was making the braised pork buns, he was making them so fast that the Indonesian aunt at the window couldn't understand.
But the fried pancakes she made really made my aunt jealous.
She rolled the fried pancake into a thin layer, spread the red bean paste evenly on the spread dough, rolled it up carefully, and then pressed it into a thin pancake.
When the oil pan started to smoke, Xue Qi threw in the pancakes wrapped with red bean paste.
The dough was immersed in the oil pan, and the hot oil began to bubble up with a sizzling sound.
Under the stimulation of high temperature, the thin dough begins to expand and turn into plump golden crispy cakes.
Seeing that the aunt was stunned, Xue Qi picked up a sample, stuffed it through the gap in the glass, and invited her to taste it.
The meal hadn't started yet and the aunt had nothing to do, so she took the pancake and started eating.
The fried pancake is a little hot, but the skin is fried until golden and crispy, and it makes a crunching sound when you take a bite.
The most important thing is that the skin inside is layered, and each layer is evenly filled with red bean paste. It is sweet but not greasy and tastes very good.
After eating a fried pancake, the aunt did not forget to smack her fingers. The taste was simply divine.
Someone in the live broadcast room commented:
"Has this aunt been bribed by Xue 77? She's just eating something, but she's acting so exaggerated."
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Is this auntie serious? Your exaggerated acting betrays you."
"Xue 77, good fellow, there's no need to be so obvious in bribing the actors."
Just as people were mocking Xue Qi for bribing extras in the comments, Feis and other athletes appeared in the camera.
Comments started immediately:
"Faith is coming! Faith is coming!"
"Fez has entered the live broadcast range!"
"Feis actually went to line up at the Indonesian counter. It looks like the food there is pretty good today."
"Hahaha, Feis deliberately chose to queue up at the window next to Huaguo Cuisine in order to provoke Huaguo Cuisine, right? Hahaha, Feis really is murderous and heartbreaking!"
…
When the lady serving food at the Indonesian window told them that the fragrance came from the steamed buns at the Chinese food window, everyone looked incredulous.
Someone immediately asked, "How can it be Chinese food if it smells so good? Have you been bribed? Hurry up, I want to eat! Bring me some food! Give me one portion of this and this!"
The American athletes couldn't wait to have some breakfast each.
After they finished their meal, they sat down at the table next to the Chinese athletes.
However, they soon discovered that the food on their plates did not smell good at all, but the food from the next table was gushing out in waves of fragrance.
The little Chinese girl picked up the braised pork bun and took a bite. The skin was fluffy and soft, and the braised pork inside was just the right amount of fat and lean.
The braised pork buns were not salted at all, only seasoned with soy sauce, which not only gave them color but also a salty and fresh taste. The meat inside was large, with almost a ratio of one lean meat to one fat meat. It tasted juicy and full of lean meat, not at all dry, and the taste was truly divine.
The little girl ate four braised pork buns in one breath. The gravy dripped onto her fingers, and she didn't forget to lick her fingers.
Seeing her eating, several American athletes at the next table began to swallow their saliva, looking hungry.
They felt that the crispy rice rolls in their hands suddenly lost their flavor!
Qin Tiantian sat down with a bowl of handmade ramen. As the soup was scalding hot, she asked for a fried dough stick.
As soon as I took the first bite of the fried pancake, the people at the next table could clearly hear the "crunch" sound, which showed how crispy it was.
For the second bite, she dipped the fried dough sticks into the noodle soup.
The fried dough sticks dipped in the noodle soup don't have a crispy surface, but they have a nice chewy texture. The salty broth and the slightly sweet fried dough sticks balance each other out without any conflicting textures, instead creating a delightful experience that elevates the taste buds.
Seeing this, several people from the United States began to swallow their saliva.
When Qin Tiantian started slurping the noodles, several people could no longer sit still!
She stirred the noodle soup with chopsticks, and the wonderful aroma instantly overflowed, making them unable to resist.
Someone immediately stood up and said, "I want to see what Chinese cuisine tastes like!"
"I'm going too!"
"I want to taste the bitterness of dark cuisine too!"
"I want to test the poison on myself!"
Faith took a sip of milk and looked at his friends speechlessly, his eyes full of contempt.
When the faces of those American athletes appeared in the live broadcast room, i
The netizens watching the live broadcast were all confused:
"What's going on? Aren't these the athletes who came with Feisi? Why are they here at the Chinese food counter? Isn't this a slap in the face to Feisi?"
"Are they also the athletes sent by the United States to China to participate in the Winter Olympics? They seem very spineless."
"Haha, not only is he spineless, he's bringing shame to the American national team!"
"Just to give you some information. The United States has no shortage of ski resorts. Except for Faith, none of the American skiers at the SP ski resort this time are from the national team. And they all came at their own expense. Professional American athletes are all at professional ski resorts in the United States."
"Fortunately, he's not representing the United States, otherwise it would be such a disgrace!"
…
The athletes returned to their original positions with the fried cakes, noodles and braised pork buns ordered from the Chinese restaurant window. Unable to resist the aroma, they ate with relish.
With this bite, the taste buds are instantly hooked.
They ate voraciously, and Faith kept swallowing his saliva under the dual attack of sight and smell.
Finally, he took a look at the food in his hand, felt that it was not delicious anymore, and simply got up and left.
When he reached the door, his roommate rushed out and, seeing that there was no one around, stuffed something into his hand.
My roommate said, "Here, it's really delicious. You must try it! I won't tell you anymore. I have to go back and eat some more braised pork buns."
By the time Faith realized what was happening, her roommate had already left.
Faith looked at the braised pork bun wrapped in a tissue in her hand, and her palm felt warm.
He opened the wrapping paper, looked at it again and again, and finally couldn't help but took a bite.
As a result, just one bite made him completely fall in love with it. The salty and fragrant braised meat and the soft skin were simply amazing!
…
As time went on, more and more athletes came to the cafeteria.
The number of people queuing at the Chinese food window gradually increased. They came over attracted by the aroma, and in the end, their stomachs were deeply captivated by the Chinese braised pork buns, noodles and fried pancakes.
There was a long queue at the Chinese restaurant window, and Chef Ou Li, who was standing at the door watching the fun, also found it incredible.
He looked at the long queue outside in surprise: "This... How is this possible!"
i
The comments in s's live broadcast room were also shocked by this scene.
Judging from the live broadcast, the line stretched from the window to the door. What was even more exaggerated was that they saw a teenager wearing a hoodie and a mask in the line.
Although he was wearing a hat and a mask, and his eyes were hidden with his head down, netizens in the live broadcast room still recognized him with their sharp eyes.
"That's Faith, right?"
"Oh my god, it's really Faith! Why is he queuing up too?"
“???????”
“??????????”
The comments were filled with question marks, and he asked weakly, "Maybe they want to witness what magic Chinese cuisine has?"
Fei Si lowered his head and said to Chu Xing, who was getting his meal at the window, "Six braised pork buns, please."
Chu Xing recognized Feisi and suddenly raised his voice, "Ah, Feisi! What brings you here? Our Chinese cuisine is terrible. Would you like to reconsider? After all, your noble tongue is difficult to please. Your single post has already caused a bloody storm in our country. I'm afraid that if you eat this braised pork bun, it will even provoke an even more serious war of words between our two countries!"
How could Feis not hear that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for him?
He clenched his fists and wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to leave the fragrant braised pork buns.
When photographer Xiaowen saw Faith appear, he immediately moved the camera towards her and even lowered it to capture Faith's lowered face clearly.
Netizens in the live broadcast saw the camera suddenly lower and captured Faith's face, and commented:
"Chinese photographers are so cunning."
"Am I the only one who thinks Faith has become ugly?"
"It's the Chinese photographer who didn't use the beauty filter on Faith! How can this death shot look good without a filter?"
"He's just ugly. Ah, Faith looks really ugly from this angle. Is he really the son of two celebrities? I don't think he has any good-looking genes."
"What are you doing, Faith?! Stop getting slapped in the face!"
"Fiss, what are you doing? You said you wouldn't eat even if you starved to death? You said you wouldn't eat even if only Chinese food remained in the world."
The comments were still calling on Feisi to be tougher, but he bowed to Xue Qi in the window just to have a bite. "Sorry, I'm biased against Chinese cuisine. Qin Tiantian is right. I was a frog in a well before. I had never seen the world, and I had never tasted such delicious braised pork buns."
Xue Qi glanced at the young man and didn't feel embarrassed. He lifted the lid of the steamer and white hot steam came out.
The white meat buns are plump and cute, and the cafeteria is filled with fragrance.
She picked up a few braised pork buns and gave them to the boy. Without making any sarcastic remarks, she simply said, "Enjoy your meal!"
After all, it is being broadcast live to the whole world now, so she can act as she pleases, but she can't be stingy.
The more generous you are at such times, the more foreign fans you will gain.
Faith looked at the braised pork bun handed to him and looked at the woman in the window with surprise.
Xue Qi was confused by the look on his face: "What? You want more?"
Feis shook his head and ran away immediately with a few buns.
He found a corner to sit down, then took out his phone and took a few pictures.
s posted a dynamic:
"I'm a frog in a well. Chinese cuisine is amazing, and Xue 77 is also amazing. He's truly a top chef! This braised pork bun is so delicious. I'm looking forward to my trip to China for the Winter Olympics!"
Netizens:
“???????”
"How come your expression changes like turning the pages of a book!"
"Fuck. Faith, where's your backbone? What about your promise not to be fooled? If you weren't rich, I would have suspected you were bribed!"
"It's not impossible that Feis was bribed. After all, Xue 77's husband is the richest man in China."
"Damn. I'm getting hungry watching the livestream! Everyone's eating so happily, it doesn't feel like an act."
"I don't think it's an act either. No one could have such convincing acting, right? And Fei Si even slapped him in the face. He has such a deep prejudice against Chinese cuisine, but he still dared to eat it. It shows that this Xue 77 really has some skills."
"Ah ...
The topic of "Feis slaps his face: Chinese cuisine is really delicious!" became a hot search on foreign social media and also on Weibo in China.
Domestic netizens like to see:
"Holy crap, that feels good! I feel good! I didn't expect the slap in the face to come so fast, like a tornado!"
"Ahhhhh my 77 will never let us down!! 77 is so awesome!"
"Xue 77, a woman who will never disappoint."
"Look at me, it's fun, hahahaha, I forgive Faith, please live stream eating Chinese food, hahahaha."
"Chinese cuisine is the best! I won't accept any rebuttal! I'll fight anyone who refutes me!"
-
After a busy day, Xue Qi and the teenagers were exhausted when they returned to the villa.
Fortunately, Xue Qi’s delicious food healed them, otherwise they would not have been able to hold on!
I originally wanted to come here for vacation, but I didn't expect that in order to restore the reputation of Chinese cuisine, it turned into a "work-study program".
Xue Qi was taking a fragrant bath in her room after a tiring day.
She called Pippi, but the little girl still couldn't get through with video or voice, so she just sent her a text message to let her know she was safe as usual.
After Xue Qi replied to Pipi's text message, he sent a video to Cao Feng and the two chatted for a while.
Cao Feng looked at his wife, who was sitting in the bathtub, with a beautiful figure. He swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Wife, you make me feel uncomfortable."
Xue Qi patted the mask off her face and sat up straight to show him more.
Cao Feng: “…”
Xue Qi snorted: "I just want to make you feel uncomfortable and make you miss me. Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. My phone is running out of battery. Good night."
Cao Feng nodded: "Yes. Go to bed early."
Xue Qi, as usual, thrust his forehead towards the camera: "Forehead."
Cao Feng followed the screen and kissed it.
Xue Qi turned his face left and right again: "Face."
Cao Feng kissed her again through the screen.
Xue Qi finally pushed her rosy lips forward, and Cao Feng continued to kiss her without getting tired of it. He felt very happy and full of sweetness.
Just when he thought it was over, Xue Qi suddenly lifted her feet and said, "I want to kiss your feet too."
Cao Feng was suddenly stunned and silent: "..."
Xue Qi: "Honey, what's wrong with you? Are you looking down on my legs? Do you know how painful they are today? I've been standing all day!"
Cao Feng: “…”
Helpless, kissed.
Why is my wife becoming more and more pretentious?
Should I go see my wife? Is it because I miss her so much that I'm sick with longing?
Yeah. It must be.
Otherwise, how could she be so perverted as to let him kiss her feet.
