Even after sitting in the restaurant, Zhang Siheng was still a little dazed.
He could hardly believe that he had met such a rich "sugar-bearing junior schoolmate" so easily.
Li Nanxing sat in the Chinese restaurant with ease, not even picking up the menu. He quickly ordered from the waiter, "Three cup chicken, braised pork, meatballs, ginger duck, a jī (a jiǐ), a soup, and a large bowl of rice. That's all I need!"
This is a Chinese restaurant located in a small alley in New York. Because it is not near the busy commercial street, it is generally difficult to find unless you are a regular customer.
Li Nanxing knew about this place thanks to the fact that she traveled all over New York City during the summer vacation and found this Chinese restaurant on the map.
After eating there twice, Li Nanxing felt that the food in this Chinese restaurant was quite good, and it was not disappointing, so he brought Zhang Siheng here for dinner this time.
The menus in this restaurant are all in English. I don’t know how they were translated. In fact, Chinese people cannot understand the English versions of Chinese food names. So when Chinese people go to a Chinese restaurant, the owner will usually take out a Chinese version of the menu, and the number of dishes in it will be much more than the English version.
Of course, the main reason is that foreigners are not used to authentic Chinese dishes. They are only used to modified Chinese food, the so-called "American Chinese food", such as "Orange Chicken", "General Tso's Chicken", "Almond Chicken", "Li Hongzhang Offal", "Royal Beef", "Chinese Chicken Salad" and other Chinese food that Chinese people have never heard of!
The main feature of these modified Chinese dishes is sweetness!
Li Nanxing tried it once, and never wanted to try it again!
"The owner of this restaurant is Taiwanese. He immigrated to the United States many years ago. His Taiwanese cuisine is very good. I was worried that you couldn't get used to spicy food, so I brought you here to try it!" Li Nanxing explained to Zhang Siheng.
"Can you eat Chinese food?" Li Nanxing asked as if he had thought of something.
No wonder she asked this question. Don't assume that anyone of Chinese descent can eat Chinese food and use chopsticks.
Most of the Chinese people speak ABC and are only used to eating Western food such as bread, butter, vegetable salad, etc.
However, considering that Zhang Siheng can speak Chinese and grew up in a Chinese mother's home, it is very likely that he eats Chinese food.
In addition, just now in the stairwell, Li Nanxing saw that the other party was holding a steamed bun, not bread, so he chose to bring him to have Chinese food.
Li Nanxing asked this question specifically, in fact, he also wanted to test whether the other party had a good or bad impression of Chinese food culture and Chinese people.
After all, although he grew up in his grandmother's house and his grandmother and uncle's family were all Chinese, they were very harsh to him and abused him a lot, so they were afraid that he would have a resistance to Chinese people.
Li Nanxing now plans to cooperate with the other party in investment. This is very important to her, so she must figure it out!
Zhang Siheng was still thinking about how to discuss investment matters with Li Nanxing, so he didn't think too much about the meal. He nodded and replied, "My mother's family is Chinese, and I grew up eating Chinese food!"
"So you know a lot about Chinese people? Then I want to know what you think of the Chinese community? Because I am also Chinese, and Chinese people are always discriminated against in the United States. I heard that you are actually a mixed-race person, and you also have white blood in your body, so what do you think of Chinese people?" Li Nanxing asked directly.
What does he think of the Chinese?
Zhang Siheng's forehead twitched slightly when he heard this. He understood that the other party wanted to ask him whether, as a mixed-race person with half white blood, he also discriminated against the Chinese community.
This was the first time he was asked this kind of question.
It feels amazing.
Maybe because of his mother, Zhang Siheng has more than 90% Chinese characteristics, black eyes, black hair, and yellow skin. Because he was not well fed since childhood, he is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, ordinary and not tall at all. In fact, judging from his appearance alone, he cannot be seen as a mixed-race person. Most people assume that he is of Chinese descent.
Because of his Chinese minority appearance, he has been discriminated against and bullied since elementary school!
Now someone suddenly asked him whether, as a half-white mixed-race person, he would discriminate against the Chinese community.
To be honest, Zhang Siheng found it a bit funny!
How can he have the right to discriminate against others?
Zhang Siheng laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I don't have any opinions about any ethnic group! I just want to live a good life and not be bullied by others. How could I have any opinions about others?"
Okay!
It’s good that you don’t have any aversion to Chinese people!
Li Nanxing believed the other party for the time being and decided to get straight to the point!
"Well, let's talk about investment!"
Hearing this, Zhang Siheng's eyes lit up, and he finally got to the point!
He knows a lot about this field!
