Chapter 70: Home and Country
After looking at the current foreign exchange trend and the slightest difference in his memory, Zhou Rui was relieved, for several months, and he didn't operate here every day, so he had to die of overwork.
Although it is quite flavorful to eat mashed potatoes and fried fish pieces occasionally, if Zhou Rui is allowed to eat them for two days in a row, she will not do it.
As the most populous country in the world, the footprints of Chinese people are almost all over the world, and there are basically Chinese people in every big city, and London is the capital of the United Kingdom, and it is no exception.
London's Chinatown, located in the Soho district of Westminster, is mainly composed of Chinese restaurants, Chinese shops and souvenir shops.
As a Chinese, when you go to London, how can you not go to Chinatown here.
It is a shame to say that many things of traditional Chinese culture are dying out in China, but they are well preserved in Chinatowns in other cities. To experience the ethnic culture of China, you can go to Chinatown.
"Rui'er, are we going to Chinatown to eat, Chinese food, I like it! In the past, Hank often went to Chinese restaurants with me to eat after completing tasks, that Zuo Zongtang chicken, and mapo tofu are the best!" James is an optimist, and he doesn't know how such a character can be a good agent.
But just looking at James's deposit, this is not a high-level agent, is it?
"Can you not call me Rui'er?" Zhou Rui didn't answer James's question, but talked about something else.
"Why, I think Rui'er is very nice! It's your name, don't you like it?"
"No, my name is Zhou Rui, not Rui Ao!" It was a cocktail drink, although I didn't know where it was now, but Zhou Rui was sure that she didn't want to be called this.
When this cocktail was first popular, it was an overwhelming advertisement, and I don't know which one started it, so call her Rui'er, Ruiao, Mom, Mandarin was taught by a physical education teacher!
"It's Rui Ao!" James blinked innocently, among foreigners, his Chinese is already considered standard, how can Rui'er this sound, even if the Chinese speak fast, it will become Rui Ao.
"Anyway, you are not allowed to call this!Otherwise, the agreement will be invalid!" Zhou Rui, who was too lazy to explain, directly took out the killer idea, not afraid that James would not comply.
"You can't do this!Okay, okay, can you call Xiaorui? I really don't understand why you don't like Rui'er, I think it's very kind and cute!" James thought in pieces, with a deep resentment in his eyes.
Is it really good for an old man in his thirties and almost forty to put on such an expression? Zhou Rui was very skeptical.
"Wow, what do you think of this Shanghai restaurant? It looks delicious! And what kind of pavilion does it, it looks very magnificent!"
It's obviously an agent who has seen the world, why don't you pretend like you haven't seen the world!
Zhou Rui has been to many places in her previous life and tried all kinds of delicacies, but the one that can catch her stomach the most is Huaxia cuisine, who made her grow a patriotic stomach!
Most of London's Chinatowns are from Guangzhou, with a majority of people from Hong Kong and Macao, and Hong Kong has been occupied by the British for so many years, so most of the people here speak Cantonese.
It wasn't until the 80s that Hokkien people went abroad and quickly occupied their own place overseas.
In general, even the so-called Shanghai restaurant just now was not opened by Shanghainese, it just got a name.
Any thing, leaving its place of origin, will change its taste, and the same is true of Chinese cuisine, not that the boss is deliberate, this is not for survival, after all, not every foreigner has a Chinese stomach.
So, you'll have to look carefully.
"Eat dumplings. Xia Lei, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, which was really unexpected.
Rather than wandering around aimlessly like this, it is indeed convenient and fast to come to dumplings, and there are not many restaurants that can generally make dumplings unpalatable, and if there are, they have long been closed down.
"I'll see it!" James nodded, craned his neck to look there, and after a while he saw a dumpling restaurant with a small face.
The combination of two big and one small, two Chinese and one ocean, is actually quite eye-catching, this is still in 96, if you are in 2016, such a combination may be regarded as a family.
Who let gays and lesbians be allowed to marry in many countries at that time?
"A few people have something to eat, our dumplings here have pork and cabbage, beef and radish, and egg filling, all on the menu. "The proprietress is not very old, she looks quite temperamental, and when she sees someone coming in, she hands her a plastic menu.
The proprietress was a little surprised by the behavior of the two big men who didn't do anything and directly handed over the choice to a little girl, but she didn't say anything.
"Kids, see what you want to eat?"
"One serving of pork and cabbage, one serving of beef radish, one serving of fresh meat, one serving of three fresh dishes, and three bowls of seaweed and shrimp skin soup, let's do it first!" Zhou Rui ordered food quickly, and it was a world of difference from the way she couldn't think about which house to enter before.
"Hey, okay, you guys wait a while!" As she spoke, the proprietress turned around and went into the back kitchen, whispering to the people inside, it should be her husband, after all, most of the people who open this kind of small restaurant are husband and wife, and they can't make money by hiring people.
There were no other customers in the small restaurant at this time, the food was served very quickly, the taste was good, and the ingredients were full, but while they were eating, there was a quarrel in the kitchen, and then there was silence.
Listening to the suppressed cry inside, the place was so big, Zhou Rui and the others actually heard everything.
The proprietress who seems to have a good temperament used to be a piano teacher at a conservatory in China, and her husband is also an academic.
The craze for going abroad at the end of the eighties made the proprietress who loved to be beautiful and dressed up, and liked to catch up with fashion.
But they didn't want to, when they went abroad, the two couldn't find a professional job at all, so they worked odd jobs for several years and brushed a lot of plates before they saved some money, bought this small shop, and started a small business.
The quarrel has something to do with Zhou Rui, because the eight-year-old Zhou Rui reminded the proprietress of her daughter who is still in China, when will she be able to take her abroad......
