Chapter 576 You can eat anything with your hands
"Were you just mocking our national habit of eating with our hands?" Sure enough, an Indian directly pointed the finger at Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng scratched his ear with an innocent look on his face: "Um... can you speak English?"
"I speak English!" roared the Indian.
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said politely, "Then please speak a little slower. Your curry-flavored English is quite difficult for me to understand."
"I—am—asking—you—are—laughing—at—us!"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it's none of my business how you eat. Forget about using your hands, even if you eat with your feet, I have no right to interfere, right?"
These Indians are so cute. You won’t admit it even if I laugh at you. How stupid is your question!
"Stop it! You are just mocking us for eating with our hands! Just like these Germans! This is what you Chinese have always done!" an Indian man nearby shouted.
Xiao Peng blinked. "Sir, you need evidence for your words! I can't even laugh. The peaceful change of president in the US... A new spring has arrived for Chinese intellectuals... There are so many things that make me happy. What does what you eat have to do with me? You have to understand that I'm Chinese. In the eyes of many white people, we're just 'eating dog meat', 'family planning' and other such nonsense. I've experienced such things myself, so how can I laugh at your national customs?"
Xiao Peng said this sincerely. He really didn't want to waste time here. Indians are very strange. Whenever they meet Chinese people, they will engage in endless debates like crazy.
This is a point that all Chinese people who know Indians agree on. If your roommate happens to be Indian while studying abroad, congratulations! Your study abroad experience will definitely not be boring: If you haven't argued with an Indian, you haven't really known Indians. If you haven't been pursued by an Indian man, you haven't really been a woman...
It's not that Indians are bad; after all, religion is prevalent in their country, so most Indians are kind. But they're really sensitive and full of nonsense. Arguing with them is endless. Is the Chinese's racial talent for farming? Then the Indians' racial talent for arguing is for arguing.
Xiao Peng was indeed laughing at them just now, but he was not laughing at their habit of eating with their hands. He was laughing at them for making a fuss out of nothing, making a big deal about their eating habits known to everyone, and finally bringing it up as "racial discrimination".
But then again, this kind of thing isn't exclusive to Indians. Just like those square dance troupes in Times Square, they clearly violated local laws, but in the end, weren't they also accused of racial discrimination?
It seems that the Chinese people are quite fragile...
Ugh! Compared to Indians, it's not that serious.
This so-called "fragile heart" is actually related to a country's national strength. A strong country strengthens its people's hearts. Again, China has developed too rapidly in recent years, and some people's awareness has not kept pace.
But now the situation has changed a lot.
Western internet users often get a lot of idiotic questions about China. For example, questions like, "Does China have highways?", "Do Chinese people have access to education?", "Does China have cars?" In the past, when faced with these questions, many Chinese people would come forward with data and reasoning to explain the issues. But now, what about this? Most people respond with, "You're right, we Chinese don't have cars at all. Do you know about Qinggong?" or "We don't have cars. We ride pandas when we go out."
You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. If you take it seriously, you will lose!
India is currently in the same phase as China was just after it joined the WTO a decade ago. Everyone is eager to prove themselves, so they're particularly sensitive and can't stand any negative comments. Is arguing with them a waste of time? To use a line from the movie "Shaolin Soccer": "I'm making hundreds of thousands of dollars a second." Keep arguing!
Besides, Xiao Peng felt quite happy to see that German being embarrassed by these Indians: Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers, so stop meddling in other people's habits!
But what if an Indian eats like this and makes Xiao Peng feel disgusted?
Needless to say, beat him!
Xiao Peng is also an old double standard!
He was still thinking of pretending to be timid and leaving quickly, but those Indians obviously didn't want to let him go.
They became more excited when they saw Xiao Peng admitting defeat. Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a common problem among all human beings.
"You want to leave just because you laughed at us?"
"What's wrong with us eating with our hands? Eating with our hands is the oldest way of eating for humans! This means that we in India are the oldest civilization in human history!"
"We Indians are much better than you Chinese. You can only eat with two sticks!"
"Yeah, what are they called? Chopsticks? How can they compare to how we Indians eat with our hands? We can grab, tear, and knead with our hands...but you can only pick, pick, pick..."
"That's right, we can eat all kinds of food directly with our hands. Why don't you try using chopsticks to pick up a steak? Or a pizza?"
"Hey, didn't the Italian brand Dolce & Gabbana do this a long time ago? Didn't you see that commercial they shot? Chinese people are completely lost when it comes to delicious food with their chopsticks!"
"That's right, we can eat any kind of food with our hands!"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng frowned when he heard this. He really thinks I'm easy to bully, right?
Don't underestimate chopsticks; they symbolize Chinese culture. A small pair of chopsticks symbolizes the harmony of yin and yang, and their square tail and round front symbolize the "round heaven and square earth." Foreigners might not understand, but they must respect them. I keep saying I respect you eating with your hands, but you laugh at us using chopsticks?
You're taking advantage of me, aren't you?
He smiled slightly and said to the person who had just spoken, "You said you can eat any food with your hands, right?"
"Of course!" The Indian who spoke looked proud.
Xiao Peng said, "Well, let me ask everyone around here, have you ever had Chinese food?"
Many people around nodded in agreement. It couldn't be helped. Almost anywhere on this planet where people lived there were Chinese restaurants. There were three Chinese restaurants on Norderney Island alone, where only a few thousand people lived. Xiao Peng and his friends had agreed to dine at a Chinese restaurant today...
Xiao Peng continued, "Our Chinese food culture is extensive and profound. Today, I will show you an authentic Chinese dish that couldn't be more authentic. I'll treat these Indian friends to a taste of this dish. How about having them demonstrate how to eat Chinese food with their hands? Indian friends, how about you show us how to eat Chinese food with your hands?"
“Come on!”
"Who's afraid of who?"
Xiao Peng waved to the crowd, and Kasin came out: "Boss, what's going on?"
