The car stopped in an antique building, and Xu Qing stepped out of the car and looked up at the building.

Two rows of traditional Chinese red lanterns hang on the blue-gray walls, swaying slightly in the wind, as if to welcome guests.

At the entrance of the building hangs a plaque that reads Xujia Restaurant in Chinese, and a small sign next to it that reads Carney Restaurant in English.

Carney is the English name of the grandfather, translated into Chinese is Carney, Carney Restaurant, Xu's Restaurant, Xu Qing has no power to complain about the name given by his grandfather.

Xu Qing and Carlyle entered the Xu Family Restaurant, it was lunch time, and there were many people eating in the restaurant, most of them Asian, and some of them were white and black.

Xu Qing saw that those whites and blacks were very skilled in using chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and it was obvious that these people were Chinese food lovers.

The Chinese food in Xujia Restaurant is not an improved American Chinese food, it is an authentic Chinese food, the chefs are all Chinese, some are invited from China, and some special ingredients are also specially shipped from China.

Because Xujia Restaurant provides authentic Chinese food, and the area of the restaurant is not small, three floors, thousands of square meters, so Xujia Restaurant is very famous among Chinese in the Bay Area.

The name is big and the food is good, and the business of Xujia Restaurant has been very good.

As soon as Xu Qing entered the restaurant, the staff at the cashier saw him and hurriedly walked up to him and said hello: "Hello little boss, I will notify the general manager immediately." ”

"Don't bother your general manager, I'm just here to eat. ”

Xu Qing waved his hand, he felt that the people of the Carney Group called him very interesting, the people of Carney Media called him the general manager, the people of Carney Bank, and the people of Xujia Restaurant called him the little boss.

The little boss used to be called his father, but later his grandfather retired and gave the position of chairman of the Carney Group to his father, and the title of his father changed from the small boss to the boss, and Xu Qing took over the title of the little boss.

Xu Qing and Carlyle walked towards the third floor, the third floor was a private room, and it turned out that the guy came to eat at the Xu Family Restaurant.

Xu Qing has not been to the Xu Family Restaurant since he was reborn, so he slowed down and looked at the decoration of the restaurant.

The walls of the corridors, stairs, and halls of the restaurant are hung with Chinese calligraphy, landscape paintings, and even some ancient Chinese poems about food.

For example, Su Shi's "Huanxi Sha Yuanfeng Traveled to Nanshan from Sizhou Liu Qianshu on December 24 in the seventh year".

The title of the poem is so long, I don't know if those English speakers can understand it, but Xu Qing still agrees with the decoration of the restaurant.

For Chinese immigrants from China to the United States, seeing these decorations will feel very intimate, as if they are in a Chinese restaurant.

For people of other ethnicities, these decorations look exotic, which can attract them more, and they come to Xujia Restaurant to eat authentic Chinese food, and naturally hope that the decoration of the restaurant is also Chinese style.

Just like those Japanese restaurants, the service staff, the ingredients, the decoration, etc., everything is Japanese style.

It's a pity that many things in China have come to the United States and become American-style Chinese ××, perhaps this is the price of integration.

Xu Qing came to the box on the third floor where he used to eat, and saw Wang Peng, the general manager of the restaurant, standing at the door of the box.

When Wang Peng saw Xu Qing, he immediately trotted to greet Xu Qing, with a warm smile on his face that he had trained in the service industry all year round:

"Little boss, you haven't been to the restaurant for a long time, is it that we haven't done our job well, you are not satisfied. ”

"How can I be dissatisfied with the restaurant, I've been too busy for the past few months to have time. Xu Qing also had a smile on his face and patted Wang Peng on the shoulder: "Your body size is bigger again, be careful to crush the restaurant." ”

Xu Qing and Wang Peng's way of speaking is very easy-going, like two friends meeting and chatting, rather than the relationship between superiors and subordinates, which is related to the personality of the original guy.

It turns out that although the guy is a gentleman, he doesn't think he is superior to others and treats people very easily.

Xu Qing is also this kind of character now, and he doesn't feel that he is great if he is rich, and he looks down on others.

"Hahaha, I know what you're up to, you're so powerful, the boss praised you many times when he had a party with us in private. Wang Peng praised Xu Qing sincerely.

"It's okay, eat first, my stomach misses the food at Xujia Restaurant very much. Xu Qing said casually, he didn't feel any of these praises anymore.

Wang Peng pushed open the door of the box and led Xu Qing into the box, Xu Qing looked around the box, an area of dozens of square meters, and a huge round table was placed in the middle.

The decoration of the box is also in the Chinese style, and the decoration is higher than that of those places in the corridor.

"Little boss, what do you want to eat today?" Wang Peng asked.

"Give me a menu and I'll take a look. Xu Qing's memory did not store the names of the dishes in Xu's restaurant, so he had to ask Wang Peng to get a menu.

Wang Peng took out a menu and handed it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took the menu and looked at it, hundreds of dishes, writing the names of the dishes in Chinese and English, there was no problem Chinese the names of the dishes, and some of the English names made Xu Qing feel very interesting.

Four glad meat balls.

Mapo Tofu, Tofu made by woman with freckles (Tofu made by a freckleled woman).

Red burned lion head.

Xu Qing saw the English names of these Chinese dishes on the Internet in his previous life, and thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect to really see these Chinese English names in Xu's restaurant.

There is no uniform English name for Chinese food names, and it is difficult to translate them, because many Chinese food names have various meanings such as historical allusions, customs and culture, celebrity anecdotes, etc.

For example, the Buddha's hand Guanyin lotus uses Buddhist allusions, and for those who believe in God, they are likely to be confused when they see the name of this dish.

There is also stuffed money and hair dish, using traditional Chinese customs and culture, hair vegetables and wealth have the same sound, symbolizing prosperous business, how to translate this dish to accurately express the meaning of wealth?

Xu Qing felt that he should ask the restaurant to correct the wrong English names on the menu, such a large restaurant, even the names of the dishes were not translated correctly, which was not very good.

"Four happy meatballs, mapo tofu, braised lion's head. Xu Qing finished talking about the dishes he ordered, and then asked Carlyle, who was sitting on the side, "Carlyle, what do you want to eat?"

"Back to the pot meat, sauerkraut fish. ”

Carlyle did not look at the menu, directly said the names of these two dishes in Chinese, he has been Xu Qing's bodyguard for more than a year, has eaten many Chinese food, some Chinese food he likes to eat, back to the pot meat and sauerkraut fish he likes very much.

"That's all for these dishes, the chef didn't rest today. Xu Qing asked.

"No, I'll let the head chef cook these dishes. Wang Peng said immediately.

"I haven't eaten a chef's dish for a long time, and I miss it very much. ”

Xu Qing's memory forgot the name of the dishes of the Xu Family Restaurant, but he couldn't forget the taste of the dishes cooked by the head chef.
