If Chinese people don’t eat Chinese food, do they eat Western food?
Humph, look at the recent news, they are very patriotic!
However, when they opened the menu, the fancy names opened their eyes.
To be precise, it was a big surprise.
There are no pictures on the menu, so you can only guess based on the names.
And every dish on this five-star menu feels like opening a blind box.
The reason is simple, just because of the weird name of the dish.
The two looked at each other and saw the same shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
Yu Xinghe thought secretly.
Is this the fun of rich people?
"What is this... red-billed green parrot?"
What is this?!
Cong Nian pointed at one of the dishes, her round eyes widening in astonishment.
The stomach that was rumbling with hunger just now suddenly became very obedient.
Could it be a real parrot?!
Is it too late for her to take her things and leave now?
Oh, oh, oh, what should I do if I feel like I'm on a pirate ship?
Xie Yihan shook his hair and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It's his time to show off!
"This... is boiled spinach."
? !
Boiled spinach?!
Does this have anything to do with the red-billed green parrot?!
Perhaps seeing the doubts on the two people's faces, Xie Yihan sat up straight and began to explain.
"This dish originated during the Qianlong Emperor's reign. Emperor Qianlong was on an incognito tour. His money was stolen, and due to the dry weather, he had a persistent nosebleed. He went to a farmer's house to beg for food. The farmer cooked a pot of soup, which Qianlong found delicious and helped with his nosebleed. He then asked what the soup was made of. The farmer smiled and replied..."
"Gold-inlaid white jade plate, red-billed green parrot"
"In the emerald green soup, there are pieces of tofu as white as jade, and spinach with emerald green leaves and bright red roots."
“Hence the dish’s name.”
“…”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was complete silence.
The two listened in a daze, not knowing what expression to use to reply to him.
Zhou Jingyan is more casual.
Sitting next to him, he rolled his eyes and laughed undisguisedly.
"Boiled spinach is just boiled spinach. Who would understand such a confusing name..."
Yu Xinghe muttered.
Even she, a top student with excellent academic performance, couldn't understand it, let alone others.
She didn't believe that those rich people could understand it!
She pointed to another dish.
"What about snow on this volcano?"
Could it be ice cream?
"Cold tomatoes."
Everyone:?
Yu Xinghe asked again.
"Run my hand through your black hair?"
This sounds like a song title.
"Pig's trotters stewed with kelp."
Well, she shouldn't have any illusions.
"Which one is scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
It’s a five-star restaurant after all, so there should be a home-cooked dish like this, right?
Yu Xinghe looked through the entire menu but couldn't recognize which name belonged to scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
"That's over there, under the volcano with snow."
Xie Yihan knows his own menu very well.
The reason is simple: he was the one who came up with the names of these dishes.
Hey, don’t ask, if you ask, you’re just a cultured person (playing cool.jpg).
“…The sun is red.”
Yu Xinghe twitched his lips, unable to believe what he saw with his own eyes. "The person who could come up with this name is really..."
He frowned slightly, with an expression of disgust.
"What is it really?"
Xie Yihan was a little excited.
Looking forward to how she will praise him.
Would you praise him for his intelligence? Or for his culture? Or perhaps...
"You are really seriously ill." I would really thank you.
Is this a dish name that a normal person could come up with?!
ha?
Xie Yihan was a little confused when he didn't hear the praise he expected.
Are...are you seriously ill?
"It would take at least ten years for cerebral thrombosis to come up with a name like that."
Yu Xinghe closed the menu with a snap and looked up to notice that the boy opposite her had a red face. "What's wrong with you? Is it too hot in here?"
This five-star hotel is not that great. It's not as good as the cheap and good food in the roadside restaurant.
She just took a casual glance and saw that the price had more than doubled just by changing the name to something more fancy!
High-end ingredients often only require simple cooking.
"No, no, I'm just a little thirsty."
Xie Yihan pouted, picked up the water cup beside him and drank it all in one gulp.
What does it feel like to be embarrassed in front of a love rival?
He didn't need to turn around to look at the people next to him to know that he was smiling.
You can tell from the frequency of the chair shaking.
Obviously, when others saw this menu, they all praised him as a cultured person.
How come when it comes to her, it becomes "You can't come up with a name like that without a cerebral thrombosis for ten years"...
Seeing him like this, Yu Xinghe guessed that the menu was most likely made by him.
I hurriedly thought about what to say to make amends.
"Ahem, that..."
She opened the menu again and glanced up and down. "It's actually not that hard to tell."
Xie Yihan looked up at her, with light in his eyes.
"This 'walking on a country road' should be something like stir-frying wild vegetables, right?"
After all, aren’t wild vegetables common on country roads?
Yu Xinghe spoke with a solemn vow, determined to regain all the lost face!
The light in Xie Yihan's eyes dimmed again, and he pursed his lips before speaking.
"...That's braised pork trotters, garnished with cilantro."
Yu Xinghe: “…”
"Ah? Really?"
The air seemed quieter.
Her grip on the menu tightened, and an awkward smile could no longer alleviate the deadly atmosphere. "Image, very image."
"Hahahahahaha... I was just about to say this, but you beat me to it."
The city is full of tricks, so she wants to go back to the countryside.
