Smith often comes to the provincial capital to do business and stays here for more than half a month. Everyone in the kitchen knows him.
However, the people in the kitchen did not speak English, so Smith spoke and Jiang Wanyue translated.
These days, foreigners are God. Since God made the request, the kitchen staff naturally complied and immediately made room for Jiang Wanyue.
"Mr. Smith, please go outside and wait for a while." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "The food will be ready in about half an hour."
Smith couldn't cook at all, and he was just taking up space by standing there, so he walked out.
Accountant Wen handed the bag of money to Xiang Lingxiao: "Director Xiang, please go out as well. I will help Director Jiang."
Jiang Wanyue nodded: "Sister Wen, please help me take out the snail meat first."
Accountant Wen thought he had heard wrongly: "What kind of meat?"
Then, she saw Jiang Wanyue take out a box from the cloth bag she was carrying. When she opened the box, she was shocked to see it was filled with snails.
Women have a natural fear of mollusks, such as snakes and insects, no matter how old they are.
"Just like that, the meat is out." Jiang Wanyue demonstrated, "It's not scary at all, and it tastes delicious. After Sister Wen has taken out the meat, rinse it with water to remove the smell..."
Accountant Wen regretted that he should not have let Director Xiang leave.
She had no choice but to pick up the snails and start taking out the meat one by one. Once they were cooked, they would not be so scary.
Jiang Wanyue looked in the kitchen and found beef, which was not available in the countryside, but there was plenty of it in the guesthouse.
She chose a piece of good quality beef and started working.
Outside, Xiang Lingxiao followed Smith and sat down at his seat. Smith enthusiastically poured Xiang Lingxiao a glass of red wine.
Xiang Lingxiao took a bite and gave a thumbs up: "Good, very good."
Although Smith didn't understand what he said, he understood the meaning. Just as he was about to speak, several foreigners gathered around him and said, "Smith, come here, let's have a drink."
Smith waved his hand: "I want to entertain the guests, you can drink it yourself."
Several foreigners looked at Xiang Lingxiao.
Xiang Lingxiao waved his hand bravely: "Hello."
This was the only foreign word he had learned.
He didn't understand a word of what the foreigners said next, so he could only maintain an awkward yet polite smile.
The foreigners simply sat down at the table and asked Smith about his business in a roundabout way.
Smith had signed the contract with Jiang Wanyue, so he was not afraid of anything. He shrugged and said, "This is the director of the bag factory. If you have any questions, just ask him."
Everyone pointed at Xiang Lingxiao.
Asked a lot of questions.
But the other party didn't understand.
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a clear female voice was heard, and it was in English: "Mr. Smith, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Please have your meal. Hey, why are there so many people?"
The people present saw Jiang Wanyue coming out with food, and it seemed that she had cooked it herself.
This further confirmed their suspicion that this woman must be trying to curry favor with Smith...
But when they saw the food on the woman's plate, they could no longer sit still.
Several of them have been in China for more than three months, eating Chinese food every day and have long been sick of it.
Now, what do they see?
It’s actually a snail?
Oh God, am I hallucinating?
"French snails." Jiang Wanyue said in fluent foreign language, "Red wine beef brisket, potato apple puree, tomato mushroom soup, and a fish dish."
Accountant Wen held the dinner plate, and Jiang Wanyue placed the dishes on the table one by one and introduced the names of the dishes.
Everyone present was stunned.
These are all famous French dishes that only French chefs can cook. In China, they have never seen these dishes before.
Smith's face was full of disbelief: "Jiang, you are so amazing."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Just do it casually, you guys try it."
It was indeed just a casual effort. Her purpose was to promote canned fish, so she naturally couldn't let these French dishes overshadow her own products.
Of course, she couldn't do it even if she wanted to, because she didn't have any cooking skills.
Although it was just casually made, the basic flavor was still there. Several foreigners took a few bites and couldn't help but eat a few more.
Xiang Lingxiao was very curious, so he tasted it and almost spit it out.
Oh my god, this stuff can't be compared to Chinese food at all. How come these foreigners are eating it so happily?
Jiang Wanyue laughed and said, "Director Jiang, Sister Wen, just go get whatever you want to eat. You can use as much as you want, just don't waste it."
The two nodded, but did not dare to take more. Each of them took a bowl of egg fried rice and added some lard, and they were very satisfied.
Jiang Wanyue ordered a bowl of plain noodles. The taste here was much better than that in the state-owned restaurant, and she finished the whole bowl.
It was definitely not enough for a group of foreigners to eat just those few dishes, so they soon set their sights on the bowl of fish.
Smith took the first bite and said in surprise: "This fish tastes really good. It shouldn't be French food. I haven't eaten it in France."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "This is the canned fish that our factory has newly developed. I brought it here specially for Mr. Smith to taste."
Smith asked curiously, "Aren't you a bamboo weaving factory? Why are you also making food?"
"I am also the director of a food processing factory." Jiang Wanyue asked with a smile, "What do you think of this canned fish?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed.
I used to think she was trying to get close to Smith.
