Lin Rui opened the car door and said, "Get in the car, big man." No one should be bothering this time. ”

Lee Yong-so was silent for a while after getting into the car and said, "What do you mean by calling me a big shot?"

"I guess that's literal. Senior military advisers to U.S. forces in South Korea have higher authority than your female president. Close friends who often play bridge with US generals and drink and brag about each other, are secretly protected by agents when they go in and out. Are you still a little person?" Lin Rui smiled mockingly.

"I'm not a big guy. Lee Yong-so said with a sigh.

"Modesty. Lin Rui shrugged and continued to drive.

"You must think that I would be proud of what you said. Lee Yong-so shook his head and said, "Actually, that's not the case. Turn around, I'll take you somewhere. ”

"Didn't you go to bed on time at eleven o'clock?" Lin Rui frowned.

"People sometimes have to do something unruly. Lee Yong-so smiled.

Lin Rui shrugged, "Okay, you're the boss." Where are we going?"

"Since I am the boss, then today my boss will be the boss and invite you to dinner. Lee Young-so said with a smile.

"Dinner?" Lin Rui looked at Yelena with some surprise, Yelena was also a little dazed, not knowing why Li Yongzhu suddenly offered to invite them to dinner.

"Okay, then eat. But I'm Chinese, and you should understand how picky Chinese are about food. Lin Rui shook his head. To be honest, in his heart, Korean food here can't be compared to Chinese food at all.

"Okay, then let's go eat hot pot and go to bad luck. Lee Yong-so said so coolly.

The place where Lee Yong-so took them was a Korean restaurant that was not very large, and the food was indeed hot pot.

It's just that their hot pot is different from Chinese hot pot, as soon as it comes up, all the dishes are stacked in it, and there is a large piece of instant noodles, ham sausage, macaroni, luncheon meat, tofu, kimchi, green onions, mushrooms, vermicelli, rice cakes, meatballs, chrysanthemum, and of course a bunch of red chili sauce is indispensable in the center, and the ingredients are neat and tidy, the same as queuing.

Lin Rui tasted it, this hot pot has a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western meanings, as well as onions and cheese.

"Let's have some Korean sake. Lee Yong-so said slowly, "Do you know why I brought you here to eat Korean hot pot?"

"I don't know. Lin Rui took a sip of wine and said.

"Because this kind of hot pot has a name, it's called army hot pot. Lee Yong-so smiled.

"Troop hot pot?" Lin Rui frowned.

"Yes, this hot pot, there is also a legend. As a special Korean dish, the army pot is a product of the garrison culture after the Korean War. Its main ingredients are ham and sausages. These used to be non-staple foods for the U.S. military. It is said that at that time, some of the leftover food eaten by the US military was somehow lost to the people. Later, a master of Korean cuisine used these ingredients to create a stewed food with Korean characteristics, which was delicious and delicious, and it was sold, hence the name of the army pot. Lee Yong-so said slowly.

That's what it meant. Lin Rui nodded.

"But the truth is far more brutal than that. Lee Yong-so looked at them and said.

"Hot pot is still cruel?" Yelena frowned.

In fact, during the Korean War, the supplies of the US troops stationed in South Korea were very abundant, and some Americans* did not take it seriously and threw them away when they couldn't finish eating. The military also stipulates that hams and sausages, which are supplied as military supplies, must be automatically disposed of as garbage after a certain period of circulation. Since there is plenty to eat, it is thrown away even if the shelf life exceeds one day.

At that time, the Koreans were poor and hungry, and the leftover or discarded ham and sausages eaten by the American army were usually picked up by the surrounding residents and cooked with kimchi, so there was army soup. That is, it later developed into a hot pot for the Taoist troops. Lee Yong-so looked at them and said, "I, what you think is a big man, used to pick up these things to feed my stomach when I was a child. ”

Lin Rui was silent and did not speak.

"My mother was a local Korean girl who got pregnant before she got married. And my father, who was an American soldier, was a complete jerk. He never fulfilled his fatherly duties for a day, and he was just playing with my mother. I was completely unexpected. You know what people called me when I was a kid – mongrel. Lee Yong-so said with a wry smile.

Lin Rui took a sip of wine and said, "That must be very difficult." ”

"It's not easy. Lee Yong-so nodded. "You can't imagine how much I've worked to get to where I am today. I have very mixed feelings about Americans, and I hate them. But I have to admit that I can't do without them. It's like this legion hot pot, it's a shame. But between shame and survival, there must be a choice. ”

"What do you want to say?" Lin Rui looked at him and said.

"I want to say that I am a patriotic person. Perhaps, in your eyes, I am just a person who follows the Americans, betrays South Korea's interests, deploys missiles from other countries' troops on my own soil, and uses this to show off that I am a big man. Lee Yong-so shook his head, "Actually, I'm not." I was just born here, grew up here, and will be destined to die in this place as a Korean. ”

Lin Rui looked at the middle-aged man who was obviously a half-race in silence and did not speak.

"Everything I do is for the good of the country, even if it seems humiliating, I have to endure humiliation. For many years, this is how our nation has come through with great difficulty. Lee Yong-so sighed and said, "I know that many Chinese like you are not satisfied with the deployment of the THAAD defense system in South Korea." But it is in the interests of our country. I tell you this in the hope that it will not be an obstacle to our cooperation. ”

"You may be mistaken, maybe you are a patriot. And I'm just a mercenary, and mercenaries have no nationality. Lin Rui shook his head. "You don't need to explain to me what you do. And if it weren't for the fact that you yourself were uncomfortable, you wouldn't have to explain it to someone like me at all. It's like a person who is born bald, so he will be taboo when others mention the word bald. ”

Lee Yong-so smiled wryly, "Maybe, maybe I'm thinking too much." ”

"Also, like I said, we're a very professional team. The likes and dislikes of the employer have nothing to do with the completion of the contract. Lin Rui said calmly. "What kind of person you are, you just need to know for yourself. Whether it's a patriotic South Korean or a Mossad spy, why bother to explain it to us?"

"So, what do you think?" said Lee Yong-so, looking up at him.

"This hot pot is good. But we mercenaries are obviously not suitable for this bite. Otherwise, why should we fight with our lives every day and just be beggars. Lin Rui said calmly, "However, based on what you said, I will guarantee that you will definitely survive this week." ”
