Chapter 1576: Both are hospitalized, but the difference is quite big
Even Xiao Peng had to admit that America is a paradise for the rich.
Even the luxurious wards in the Methodist Hospital are comparable to the presidential suites in five-star hotels!
At least Elsa feels very unhappy now.
"Boss, we're both hospitalized, but the difference is too big, isn't it?" Elsa complained.
Kaiser on the side directly exposed his past: "I don't know who was there last night lamenting that they had never stayed in such a good hospital ward in their life."
Elsa sighed and said, "I'm afraid of comparison. I thought the ward yesterday was already great. But when I saw the boss's ward, I realized what it meant when poverty limited my imagination."
Xiao Peng was playing his game console and said, "Does this limit your imagination? I'll show you something even more shocking later."
Aisha asked curiously, "Is there anything more shocking?"
Xiao Peng looked at his watch: "It should be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Bruch went over to open the door, and a man in a tuxedo was outside. Aisha and Kaiser were a little confused. This was Texas, and it was rare to see people wearing suits here. How could a man in a tuxedo suddenly appear?
The man in the tuxedo bowed slightly to Bruch and introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Angelo Rossi from 'Damien's Joe.' Is this Mr. Xiao's ward?"
Bruch nodded and said, "It's here."
Angelo Rossi said, "Mr. Xiao's order has arrived. We are here to deliver the meal to Mr. Xiao."
Behind him were several people pushing food carts.
Bruch heard this and said, "Okay, but I need to check it out."
Angelo Rossi nodded.
Bruch took out his mobile phone, which had metal detection and sound wave detection functions. He allowed Angelo Rossi to enter only after finding no problems.
Xiao Peng washed his hands and was already waiting in the restaurant.
Seeing Aisha's shocked look, Xiao Peng explained, "Today I suddenly wanted to eat Italian food made by Bellucci, so I asked around. There's a very good Italian restaurant in Houston called 'Damien's Joe', it's also a decades-old establishment. I asked them to deliver food to me so I can experience it. Everyone wash your hands and sit down to eat together. I ordered a lot so we can taste their cooking together."
Aisha didn't know what to say: "Boss, tell me, are you here for hospitalization or vacation?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Almost, almost."
Soon a large table of delicious food was placed on the table. Bruch looked at the food on the table and said: "Boss, it feels different from the Italian food made by Bellucci."
"Try it first." Xiao Peng took a bite of the chickpeas and his eyes lit up. "Hmm? How do you all feel about trying it?"
Van der Laupe said truthfully, "Boss, I've never tasted Ms. Bellucci's Italian food."
Kaiser raised his hand: "Me too!"
Aisha said helplessly: "Boss, I have never eaten Italian food."
Instead, Bruch said, "Well, Boss, the taste of these dishes is completely different from Bellucci's style. I feel like they have a stronger smell of fat."
Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes, the smell of lard is very strong."
Angelo Rossi, who was standing nearby, smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you're a gourmet. You're right, we mainly use lard for cooking here."
Xiao Peng was puzzled and asked, "We have a lady from Sicily at home. She's very good at cooking Italian food, but the taste is different from your restaurant's. Have you localized the taste here?"
The so-called "localization" is just like the Chinese food in the United States. It is called Chinese food, but in fact the people of Daxia have never eaten it.
Angelo Rossi shook his head and said, "No, no, no. Our restaurant specializes in authentic Italian cuisine. Of course, I don't mean to say that the lady you mentioned isn't authentic. She also serves authentic Italian food."
"Huh? What does this mean?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion.
Angelo Rossi explained: "We Italians love to eat. Italian cuisine can be roughly divided into four types, namely Mediterranean island cuisine, Southern Italian cuisine, Central Italian cuisine and Northern Italian cuisine. The lady you mentioned is from Sicily, so she naturally belongs to the Mediterranean island cuisine. They like to use wheat as the staple food and cook with olive oil. Vegetables, fruits and seafood account for a relatively high proportion in their food. In addition, they prefer desserts. Our restaurant belongs to the Central Italian cuisine. Actually, what I said is not entirely accurate, just like Mediterranean island cuisine can be divided into Sicilian cuisine and Sardinian cuisine. Just like the two island cuisines, Central Italian cuisine can be divided into five categories: Roman, Tuscan, Umbrian, Marche, and Abruzzo. Each cuisine has distinct flavors. Our restaurant serves standard Roman cuisine, primarily using lard and rarely using butter. But you asked earlier about localization here... Actually, we've made some changes. Roman cuisine includes many dishes using offal like pig's trotters, brains, and trotters, but those dishes are rarely eaten here, so we don't include them on our menus and only serve them to authentic Italians.
No wonder Italians are called the 'Bactrians of Europe'. Just listen to what they eat, it's so similar to the taste of the Bactrians!
Seeing Xiao Peng silent, Angelo Rossi quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao, I shouldn't have mentioned offal while you were eating and affected your appetite."
Xiao Peng nodded: "You're right, this really shouldn't be done."
Angelo Rossi was about to apologize when Xiao Peng said slowly, "You've made me hungry. I want to know what the offal you cook tastes like."
"Ah?" Angelo Rossi didn't understand whether Xiao Peng was sincere or just teasing him.
Bruch said, "Boss, I'm actually a little greedy too, but not for the offal they make, but for Lao Liu's Nine-Turn Large Intestine... I'm not saying your spicy large intestine isn't delicious, but it's definitely not as good as Lao Liu's!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines. "Are you looking for trouble? Are you comparing me to Lao Liu? Am I a professional chef? Don't eat the food I cook from now on!"
Bruch coughed twice: "Boss, don't you want us to be honest people?"
Xiao Peng said angrily, "I asked you to be an honest person, not to be a bad person. Look at what you said, is that human language?"
Xiao Peng had such a happy meal that he could taste the flavors of his hometown.
After the meal, Angelo Rossi and his men cleared the tableware. Xiao Peng directly asked Van der Laupe to give them a 2,000 yuan tip - the meal only cost a little over 800 yuan...
Aisha sighed, "Boss, if someone had told me that I could be hospitalized like this, I wouldn't have believed it even if I were beaten to death."
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Then I'll show you something even more amazing tonight!"
