Chapter 48: Pick-up
Unlike the last world, China in this world is a well-deserved world boss, and it is recognized by the world as the world hegemon since the Qin Dynasty.
Since 400 years ago, all known civilizations have recognized this ancient dynasty that has lasted for 5,000 years as the most powerful country in the world, even if more than 100 years ago with the Industrial Revolution and other factors, the absolute superiority of the Chinese Empire is not as strong as before, and it is impossible to become the powerful empire that beat the world 400 years ago.
However, today's Chinese Empire is still the world's largest power in terms of economy, culture, science and technology, and politics, and its status in this world is even more powerful than that of the American imperialism in the previous world.
Of course, due to China's thousands of years of moral cultivation, the Chinese Empire is not as keen as the United States to be the world's policeman, except for the occasional time when its interests are violated, it is usually more like an amiable old man.
But no one dares to underestimate this old man, this old man looks childish, but people practice internal skills, and no one dares to face his edge when he is really serious.
Martial arts novels don't have such a sentence, afraid of old and not afraid of being strong!
And because of this practice of the Chinese Empire, this world is much more peaceful than the previous world, of course, it is not absolutely peaceful, and there are still local frictions.
Because of the strength of the Chinese Empire, there is basically no civilized person in this world who does not know the Chinese Empire, which also attracts many foreigners, but compared to others, in fact, the most attractive to foreigners is Chinese food.
There are eight major cuisines in China, of which Cantonese cuisine is one of the eight major cuisines, and Cantonese cuisine is also divided into Cantonese cuisine, Teochew cuisine and Hakka cuisine.
Among them, because the Teochew people often went abroad to do business in the past, they also brought Teochew cuisine to the world, which also led to many foreigners having a deep love for Teochew cuisine.
It can be said that Hai Binh Province receives many foreigners to visit here every year!
In a restaurant, An Ran and Liu Qiqi sat opposite each other at a table, and while waiting for the food to be served, An Ran introduced to Liu Qiqi.
"That's what it looks like!"
Liu Qiqi listened very carefully to An Ran's words, and after listening, she said with a smile: "Actually, I have heard of Chaocai for a long time, but it is more Cantonese cuisine, what claypot rice, by the way, An Ran, do you Cantonese people really want to eat Fujianese?"
I've never eaten Fujianese, and I'm not technically Cantonese. ”
Hearing Liu Qiqi say this, An Ran immediately burst into laughter, but she also reiterated that she is not from Guangdong, according to the identity of Enron in this world, her ancestors are indeed from Haiping Mansion, but since the establishment of the Chinese Empire, their family has long settled in Yanjing, and An Ran is from Yanjing in the household registration book.
"Hee-hee, I'm just kidding!"
Liu Qiqi said with a smile.
The two of them talked and laughed, because of Liu Qiqi's deliberate approach, and An Ran was also willing to associate with Liu Qiqi, so the two of them were also very harmonious.
After walking around the street for a while, An Ran and Liu Qiqi came to Haiping Mansion's well-known Shangpinzhai for dinner.
As the host, it is natural to treat Enron, if it was before yesterday, Enron may not be able to afford to spend here, but today is different, one million in his pocket, and his heart will not worry.
The two chatted for a while, and then the food was served.
Because both of them are girls, adhering to the principle of not wasting it, An Ran only ordered four dishes, but even this cost nearly three hundred yuan, with an average of more than eighty yuan per dish.
"Qiqi, let's eat!"
"Uh-huh!"
In front of the fragrant meal, the two of them were not reserved, picked up the chopsticks and began to feast.
Although eating in Shangpinzhai is not cheap, and the average salaried class can't afford it at all, they have to admit that there are other expensive places.
Although the taste is not as delicious as the dishes cooked by the private chef in Yuan Anran's memory, it is already better than the food cooked by most people in this society.
Although there is no reserve, but after all, they are all girls, so they don't really gobble, Liu Qiqi is all the etiquette as a girl, and An Ran is completely because of the habit left by this body.
On this occasion, Enron will involuntarily become dignified and elegant, chewing slowly, making people look like they have an extraordinary temperament.
Although An Ran can also change this way of eating with her current will, she thinks it's pretty good, so she doesn't care.
The two of them were eating, and after half an hour, they were full of food and drink, Liu Qiqi gently leaned back on the chair, touched his little belly, his face was full of ruddy, and said happily: "It's really worthy of its reputation, it's really delicious, and I must often come to Haiping Mansion to eat Chaocai in the future." ”
"Okay, come on, I welcome you on behalf of Haiping Mansion. Listening to Liu Qiqi's words, An Ran smiled slightly.
"Hee-hee. ”
Liu Qiqi smiled slightly.
Just when the two people were chatting, suddenly a blue-eyed and yellow-haired foreign youth came over, and I saw the foreign young man come to An Ran and Liu Qiqi, facing the two of them, and said in broken Chinese: "Two beautiful ladies, it's nice to meet you, I'm McRae, from the UK, I don't know if I mind getting to know you." ”
"Eh......"
The sudden appearance of foreigners made An Ran and Liu Qiqi stunned for a moment, they really didn't expect that someone would come over to talk to them after a meal!
The expression on An Ran's face was a little strange, although she was already mentally prepared for a boy to talk to her, after all, as a beautiful girl, it is very normal to have a boy to talk to her, but what she didn't expect was that after coming to this world for so many days, the first person to come up and talk to was actually a foreigner!
From the eyes of this foreign young man named McRae from time to time, An Ran knew that the person he really wanted to talk to was himself!
Actually, that's what most people think.
After all, although Liu Qiqi is also a very beautiful beauty, after all, Enron is slightly better, coupled with Enron's temperament in his bones, ordinary boys will choose Enron.
Caucasian and yellow people have similar aesthetic vision, so it's no surprise that this foreign boy named McRae would come and pick up a conversation!
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, although An Ran and Liu Qiqi were a little uncomfortable, but in the face of this foreign youth, the two of them still smiled and nodded to him.
