Chapter 578 Beat
Martinez was a good person, constantly making fun of the food and then offering it to people around him with a dip in the sauce. However, before each person tasted it, he would ask, "Are you allergic to peanuts?"
While Chinese people may not take allergies seriously, in Western countries, the term "allergy" is considered a serious matter, potentially life-threatening. Peanut allergies are particularly prevalent in foreign countries. Foods like Snickers bars, M&Ms, and Dove Chocolate wafers often prominently indicate the presence of allergens on their packaging. However, in China, these warnings are absent or the wording is vague and borderline.
In fact, foreign products and domestic products mostly have two sets of standards. This is not only the case with foreign products, but also with China's own products.
Just look at the Chinese dairy companies. They have two different standards for the products they sell to domestic and foreign customers. If even their own people do this, then don't blame foreigners for having double standards: who told you Chinese to be tough?
In fact, to this day, the medical community has not discovered the true cause or cure for allergies. Some say it's a racial issue, with white people being more susceptible to allergies. This is actually a bit one-sided. For example, many people in Japan suffer from pollen allergies, and they often wear masks not for safety or hygiene reasons, but because of pollen allergies.
There is an interesting statement among Chinese public intellectuals, which is that "when people are in an overly clean environment, their immune system will be weakened, leading to an increased incidence of allergies." This statement further illustrates that the living environment in Europe and the United States is good.
It sounds reasonable, but how does this explain the widespread and persistent pollen allergies in Japan? It also doesn't explain allergies to ultraviolet rays.
However, in the eyes of white people now, saying that you are allergic to "XXX" has almost become a popular culture, especially some girls who will say that they are allergic to something even if they are not allergic to anything. It feels a bit like the "delicate" feeling of Lin Daiyu.
According to Xiao Peng's opinion on allergies, it is more like the result of nature's 'survival of the fittest'.
China's 5,000-year history is a story of struggle against hunger, and it's only in the past few decades that people have finally been able to eat enough. Back then, if people couldn't eat this or that, they would have starved to death. China's 5,000-year history of suffering has essentially eliminated allergies. The most notorious famines in Western history, such as the Irish and Ukrainian famines, lasted only a few years. Compared to China's 5,000-year history of famine, these periods are incredibly brief, so the Chinese are indeed much more hardy in their food choices than Westerners.
Take peanuts for example. There are many people in foreign countries who have suffered life-threatening or even fatal consequences after eating peanuts. Some people say that this is because foreigners are not used to eating peanuts while Chinese people eat more of them.
In fact, Chinese people have not been eating peanuts for very long. Peanuts are originally from South America. Although they were introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty, they have always been cultivated on a small scale. It is not like what is shown in movies and TV dramas that only poor people can afford to eat peanuts. It is a luxury that only rich people can afford. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that it entered the tables of ordinary people, so it has not been eaten for a long time. However, I have not heard of many people being allergic to peanuts.
When Westerners arrived in South America, they started eating peanuts. How many people have died from peanuts since then?
Everyone who tried the hot pot at the event gave it a thumbs-up. In fact, hot pot is a cooking method that fits well with Western eating habits. The idea of simply rinsing the food and eating it directly fits perfectly with their "getting back to the essence of the ingredients" approach.
Just like they love salad.
Unlike the people at the scene who were enjoying the hot pot with great joy, a few Indians looked at each other in bewilderment. They looked at the boiling water in the copper pot and cursed in their hearts, "This is boiling water! How the hell do you let us eat with our hands? We are a 'cheat nation', not a 'superman nation'. Why don't you try to grab some meat with your hands?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said to them, "You all said earlier that you can eat any kind of food with your hands. Come on, let me treat you to our Chinese hot pot. Look at everyone who's tried it, everyone says it's delicious! Now it's your turn!"
The Germans at the scene also started to cheer: "Yes, we are all watching!"
"Show us a show!"
"Yeah! You guys said you can eat any kind of delicious food!"
"You Indians can do anything, show us!"
"You can use your hands to 'knead', 'tear', and 'pinch'. Now it's your show time!"
The Germans at the scene were all planning something bad!
Just now, those Indians caused a lot of trouble for the Germans present, saying that the Germans did not respect their national culture. Now, it’s time to show you your national culture, come on!
"You..." The Indian who had taken the lead was dumbfounded. However, he still said to Xiao Peng unwillingly, "There's boiling water in this, how can you eat it directly with your hands? If you have the guts, try eating it once!"
Xiao Peng said, "No, no, no, we don't have the skills. We Chinese eat with two small sticks and can only 'pick up', 'pick up', 'pick up'. We are not as brave as you, the cheating people, who can eat anything with your hands. Come on, it's your chance to show off! Everyone is waiting to see your performance! What do you think?"
"right!"
"Hurry up and show!"
“Don’t waste time!”
"Some people say that Indians talk like they fart. I didn't believe it before, but today I can't help but believe it!"
"I've filmed this video and will share it with Indians. I'll ask them if they are all so disloyal."
There were so many people at the scene making a fuss.
The Indians who were scolded were dumbfounded. They knew the situation in India better than anyone else. If the Indians knew that they had embarrassed the Indians, they would be drowned in saliva when they returned.
But looking at the scalding water in front of me, I really can't stretch my hands out! And I'm going to post this online? Are they going to embarrass the whole world?
An Indian took a deep breath and said, "Chinese, do you want to die?"
"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned.
"If you dare to act like this, I'll kill you! Do you know who I am?" The Indian glared at Xiao Peng fiercely. The Indians around him also understood what he meant. They couldn't afford to be cowardly since this had been filmed, or they would have trouble surviving back home! Might as well be tough—Chinese people don't like to cause trouble abroad anyway. Xiao Peng was also quite cowardly at the beginning, wasn't he? If he could really scare Xiao Peng, even if today's incident was posted online, he wouldn't be afraid of being criticized back home!
Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and said one word:
"beat!"
