Qu Lihua said: "There are so many etiquettes in Pakistan, listen to Professor Abbas, we will know!"

"Yes, every country, every nation, has its own different etiquette, rules and habits, if you don't know, if you violate other people's taboos, others will be unhappy, so come here, you still have to understand. ”

"Thank you, Professor Abbas, tell us what Pakistanis like to eat!"

"Okay, Pakistanis love to eat spicy food, our curry food made with pepper, turmeric and so on is famous all over the world, Pakistani food, whether it is meat, fish, beans, or vegetables, most of them are spicy, and kimchi is also spicy. ”

"You only know that Korean kimchi is spicy, few Chinese know that our Pakistani kimchi is also spicy and delicious, I have the opportunity to send you some kimchi, you take it back to your family to eat, and Korean kimchi is different, the kimchi they make is more sour, ours is spicy and refreshing, very delicious, you can taste it." ”

"And we don't have the habit of stir-frying, whether it's beef, sheep, fish, or all kinds of beans and vegetables, they are all stewed well. ”

"We like to stew and eat, this is a habit, because we often have power outages here, we need electricity when cooking, buy a rice cooker, throw the ingredients down together, you can stew, simple and convenient, if it is a stir-fry, you need to use gas, sometimes we don't have such conditions, our living facilities are very backward, stir-fry also need oil, many poor families can't even afford edible oil, so use a simple way, buy a rice cooker to stew with electricity. ”

"Common dishes include tomatoes, potato salad, bean stew, stewed chicken with tomato and chili sauce, stewed beef and mutton, pureed greens, minced peas, small patties made of minced meat with starch, lettuce, etc. ”

"Edible oil is mainly butter, but also use sunflower oil, olive oil and other vegetable oils, we all use pans and pressure cookers, no need to stir pan, the reason I just said, wok needs gas, natural gas, need to heat quickly, our living conditions are not as good as China, some places are much more backward than many modern cities in China, we like to stew the ingredients well. ”

Meng Wenjie asked, "Professor Abbas, is the staple food you eat the same as that of us Chinese?"

"The staple food of Pakistanis is flour and rice, which is a bit similar to the Chinese, but there are some differences, we like a kind of coarse dough cake called 'chabatti', which is the most popular, and oil cake, fried potato filling, fried into a triangular shape, beautiful and delicious. ”

"Western-style sweets and bread are also commonly consumed, and they are also popular because they are influenced by the West, and they are easy to carry and can be eaten wherever they go. ”

"We also have special snacks, rice is often made into butter pilaf and meat pilaf with various condiments, which is our specialty snack here, everyone can try it. ”

"Another kind of sweet rice dyed with color is a necessary food for wedding banquets, we don't use knives, forks, chopsticks, but after cleaning our hands, we eat with our right hand, here we should pay attention to the fact that we all eat with our right hand, not with our left hand, this is the rule. ”

"In Pakistan and India, you can see hand grasp cakes, all with your hands to grasp, which is also different from the Chinese eating habits, Chinese eat with chopsticks, and we like to grasp by hand, our hand grasping skills are very skilled, and not afraid of hot." ”

"The Chinese who come to us are not used to it at first, out of politeness, we will prepare a pair of chopsticks for them, they will watch us eat with our hands, sometimes Chinese out of curiosity, will also try to eat with their hands, but they do not adapt to the heat, often burned to the point of retracting their hands." ”

"Hahaha......" Head Xia Yuxiang smiled, "To be honest, our Chinese are not very used to such a primitive method, take myself as an example, I am still used to holding food with chopsticks, feeding it to my mouth, and eating it with my hands, I am really not used to it." ”

Qu Lihua looked at Meng Wenjie, and Meng Wenjie also shook his head, "I'm not used to it either!"

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.

Qu Lihua said: "I also noticed that in Pakistan, whether in the city or in the countryside, you use shallow plates instead of deep rice bowls for rice, why is that?"

"Because we Pakistanis like to eat finger bread, it's easier to serve bread on a shallow plate than it is easy to hold it in a deep bowl," Professor Abbas said. ”

"Oh!" Qu Lihua nodded, "I see!"

"I also noticed that you Pakistanis like to drink milk tea?"

Professor Abbas nodded, "Yes, Pakistanis like to drink milk tea, whether in institutions, schools, factories or enterprises, or in the streets, teahouses and tea stalls abound, people are thirsty, hungry, tired, tired, and tired, they have to go to the teahouse to drink a cup of milk tea." ”

"This is different from the Hungarians, they like to drink coffee and soak in hot springs, we like to drink milk tea, drink milk tea in the morning, drink milk tea in a simple lunch, and drink milk tea at 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon. ”

In addition to sweet and salty, there is also Kashmiri milk tea made with mashed pistachios and badam nuts, which is generally pale pink. ”

"The business of Pakistani bubble tea shops is very prosperous, which is also inseparable from the warm and thoughtful service attitude of the owner and the guys. ”

"People pass by the door of the teahouse, the boss or buddy will warmly beckon you to go in to drink tea, even if you don't drink tea, you have to pull you to sit for a while, there is no money in your pocket, you will not be embarrassed in the teahouse, the teahouse accepts cash, but also on credit, because the people who go to drink tea are the surrounding residents, the boss knows, and then it is okay to pay it back, this is an acquaintance economy, it is difficult to repay the debt, they are all acquaintances, sorry. ”

"Speaking of drinking milk tea, this is our Pakistani hobby for generations, milk tea is our indispensable drink every day, Europeans like to drink coffee, we like to drink milk tea, Pakistan can be said to be a veritable 'milk tea kingdom'. ”

"Tomorrow I can take everyone to drink cow tea, I have a treat, I am very familiar with the owner of the tea shop nearby, I often go there to drink milk tea, milk tea is really delicious, head Xia took everyone together, it was really delicious!"

Professor Abbas looked at Qu Lihua, "You're a girl, you must also like to drink milk tea, right?"

Qu Lihua nodded, "Well, I also like to drink milk tea, I drink coffee, milk tea is more, we Chinese young people like to drink coffee and milk tea, and the elderly and middle-aged people like to drink tea, China's tea is very famous, I don't know if Professor Abbas has drunk it?"

Referring to Chinese tea, Professor Abbas gave a thumbs up.

"Your Chinese tea is very famous all over the world, when I went to China, Professor Zhang invited me to drink tea, and when I left, I also sent a lot of Chinese tea to me, there are Longjing, there are also good Tieguanyin, Biluochun, Huangshan Maofeng, etc., I still have Chinese tea at home, I want to thank Professor Zhang, I brought back a lot from China, for entertaining VIPs, everyone said that Chinese tea is very delicious!"

"Hahaha...... "Listening to Professor Abbas praise Chinese tea, everyone smiled happily.
