Jiang Chen and a few people were enjoying a buffet in the hotel's cafeteria. Although Jiang Chen repeatedly told everyone to take it easy, everyone didn't seem to care about Jiang Chen's words, and everyone went their own way. Even Deputy Director Zhang, who has always been more cautious, gradually joined their team. Jiang Chen persuaded him a few times without any effect, so he stopped talking, and if he said that he was going to offend people, let them be, it's a big deal to pay a little money when the time comes. Feeling the strange eyes of other people in the restaurant, Jiang Chen took a glass of Coke and sat away, for fear that people would misunderstand that we were together.

After a while, Jiang Chen saw that everyone was slowing down. It seemed that he was full, so he walked over and asked with a smile: "It's all eaten, then let's go back, take a little rest and have activities at night." ”

Deputy Director Zhang was a little embarrassed and said, "Wait, we'll be fine right away." ”

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked with a bitter face when he saw everyone.

"I can't eat this. Wang Hongyi looked at Jiang Chen with a red face and said.

"Oh?" Jiang Chen saw everyone's plates, each of them had a steak or other food on their plates, some took a bite, some took most of the bite. Jiang Chen saw that everyone couldn't eat anymore, so he comforted: "Forget it, just pay some money in a while." ”

Deputy Director Zhang shook his head and said: "No, whoever orders it will finish eating, we can't be embarrassed abroad." After saying that, he bit the steak on his plate with a painful face. Seeing this, the rest of the people also began to eat the steak on their plates.

Looking at everyone's painful looks, Jiang Chen wondered, "Is it so unpalatable?"

"Head, you didn't know we saw you eat a portion of this, so we followed suit. But I didn't expect that the chef here was not very good, and everything he brought us was raw. Wang Hongyi said with a sad face.

Jiang Chen realized that this was the difference between the eating habits of the East and the West. This Westerner likes to eat beef half-raw, because they like the juicy flavor of beef. Orientals, on the other hand, are accustomed to fully cooked beef, because in our traditional concept, this food must be cooked before it can be eaten, otherwise it will be sick or unhygienic, etc. And Jiang Chen had already accepted this Western food culture in his previous life, so he didn't feel unpalatable. But this makes those of them who are new to it a little unbearable. So I felt that it was more difficult to swallow. Thinking of this, Jiang Chen said with a smile: "It's not that this chef is bad, it's this foreign person, they like to eat this kind of half-cooked beef when they eat this beef, and the one you eat is fortunately medium-rare and medium-rare." There are even some people who like to live a whole life. ”

Everyone shuddered when they heard this, and Accountant Wei's face turned a little pale and said, "How do they eat even raw, aren't they afraid of diarrhea?"

Jiang Chen smiled: "This is the difference in eating habits, they have been used to this way of eating since they were born, so over time their bodies have accepted this kind of semi-raw food." ”

"That's true. This barbarian is indeed a barbarian. The old accountant in his forties said a little abruptly when he heard Jiang Chen's words.

Deputy Director Zhang, a tough guy who had been a soldier, quickly ate the steak on his plate, and he said to everyone while chewing: "Hurry up and eat, don't think about it, you will eat it quickly with your glasses closed." ”

Seeing this, everyone also picked up the steak and gnawed it. Although Jiang Chen had already demonstrated how to eat steak just now. However, they were not accustomed to holding knives and forks in both hands, and there were no chopsticks here, so they reluctantly nibbled on the steak with one hand. Of course, this scene also attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant, which made Jiang Chen's old face red.

Finally, a few people still finished eating the food on the plate, although Jiang Chen mentioned it several times, if it didn't work, there was no shortage of money. But a few people still stubbornly finished eating, although there was a lot of discomfort. This made Jiang Chen very admirable. This will definitely not work if you change yourself. But they still insist on eating it in order to save the dozens of dollars that don't belong to them, and this kind of spirit may not be seen in future generations.

In the eyes of everyone, everyone left the restaurant, but they did not return to the room, because Jiang Chen forcibly pulled them around to eliminate food. I've eaten so much here, and if I go to a room like this, I'm going to get sick. Although everyone began to resist, after Jiang Chen pulled them out and turned around, several people began to get excited, and they began to ask Jiang Chen while watching. This can be regarded as Jiang Chen's own bitter fruit, but he still kept this smile and explained the various questions they raised to everyone. Satisfy everyone's curiosity.

It was already afternoon when he returned to the hotel, and before he had much rest, Jiang Chen's room was knocked. Jiang Chen opened the door and found that it was Smith, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. So he smiled and hugged him, "Haha, Smith, long time no see." ”

"Long time no see, Jiang. How's it going, it's okay to rest in this hotel. Smith rushed back to Jiang Chen and said excitedly after a hug.

"Of course, my friend. Your arrangement is very thoughtful. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Hey, Jiang, you have to have a good time this time. I've got a lot of entertainment for you, as a man, you know. Smith pointed at Jiang Chen and smiled evilly.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Smith, I'm afraid not, this time we don't have enough time." You know I'm here for more than one thing, and I'm going to Europe after that. Also, I came with one of my bosses this time, and he was an old stubborn guy who didn't like his employees to do anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Oh, Jiang, it's really a pity. You know, I've arranged it for you, and after talking about cooperation, let's go hunting in the ranch in Montana first. Then let's go to my beachside villa in California, and then we'll have this bikini party on the beach with the best wine in all of Laos. Smith said with some frustration.

"Smith, sorry, only next time. Jiang Chen said helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, Jiang. But you have to attend tonight's party, and it's a party just for you. Smith pulled an invitation from his bosom and said.

Jiang Chen opened the invitation and found that it was indeed an invitation to them, and after thinking about it, it would not be good if he refused again, after all, he would have to cooperate in the future. So he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll attend on time then." ”

"That's right, it's time for me to go, someone will pick you up in the evening. Smith smiled, but when he was about to go out, he turned around and smiled at Jiang Chen: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, tonight's party needs a female companion, if you don't have it, I can help you get it." ”

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and smiled: "Thank you, but I think I should be able to handle it." ”

"Oh yes, good luck then. Smith gave Jiang Chen an expression I understood and left.

Jiang Chen had a headache after Smith left, and he didn't know where to find a female companion, just as he was in time, he suddenly flashed and stared at "Walden" on the table on the side in a daze. (To be continued.) )
