"Pfft... what are you roasting?" Aren't guinea pigs... aren't they pets?
"Guinea pigs are a local specialty here. I used to catch them all the time when I was hunting! Nowadays, they're all farmed, just like chickens and ducks! They're really delicious!"
"Then... one?"
"One isn't enough? One for each person!" Xiao Lu said, and then he started ordering takeout. "By the way, can I make you some authentic Inca Cola? I learned how to make it a while ago. It's sour, sweet, and has a pineapple flavor. It's really good!"
"Haha! You went to the Inca and improved your cooking skills?"
“That’s a must!”
Soon, the takeaway arrived.
Drinking Inca Cola and facing a table full of delicious food, the two of them were salivating with anticipation.
In addition to the guinea pig, Xiao Lu also ordered lemon sashimi, potato and vegetable salad, stir-fried beef with pasta... and even chicken rice dumplings!
“Do Peruvians eat zongzi, too?”
"Hmm! Fragrant rice dumplings! They've been around since the Inca era!"
“I didn’t expect there are zongzi abroad!”
"Not to mention the Incas, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, India, and even Western European countries have all kinds of traditional rice dumplings!"
"When did you learn this?"
"I just saw the ladies making rice dumplings in Inca, and I suddenly became curious. I looked it up online when I got back."
"It's true you never stop learning! Is this another piece of weird, little-known trivia?"
"Isn't it great! Stop wasting your time! Eat, eat!" Xiao Lu impatiently started to gnaw on the roasted guinea pig.
Old Lu smiled and shook his head, then picked up a piece of sashimi and tasted it.
The sour, spicy and fresh sashimi is filled with the aroma of herbs, and the olive oil makes the fish meat even more tender. It is so delicious!
"This cola recipe is really good!" Old Lu said to Little Lu, "Give the recipe to my uncle and have him put it on the menu. It will definitely be a hit!"
"Right!" Xiao Lu was very proud.
The two of them stopped discussing food and instead focused on reading the experts' reports.
Apart from the notes recorded by Lao Lu, these reports are almost all papers.
A paper can be anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of words long, and it would probably take several days to finish reading it.
While reading these papers, Xiao Lu pointed out the correct and incorrect parts in these papers.
Old Lu was taking notes on the side so that he could summarize them later.
Like a teacher correcting an argumentative essay, the two of them sat on the sofa for four or five days.
Finally, I finished reading the last paper.
"I'm so tired!" Xiao Lu complained, "Why do these people talk so much nonsense?"
"We've been bored for five days. Let's go for a walk! It's still early. Do you want to go to the night market?"
"Do you want to go first or should I go first?" Xiao Lu couldn't sit still any longer.
"You go first! It's my turn tomorrow? I'll sort out the records of the past few days first."
"Okay! You've worked hard! I'm going to go get some fresh air!"
