Chapter 112: Foreigners who ask for toilets

Lying on the soft chair of the cafรฉ and looking at the photos he took, Yang Guo suddenly laughed silently.

This one is really funny, it is in the Taihe Palace, he is holding his left fist from a distance, as if holding a dragon pillar in the photo, Kiki is grinning with a small hand on her father's left arm, and the other little hand is waving in the air, in the photo, she seems to be taking the golden hoop stick from her father's hand!

That expression, that action, although it was a coincidence, but it was too realistic, I didn't think it was anything at the time, but now I see Yang Guo is very happy, he double-clicks to enlarge and zoom in, no matter how you look at it, I think it's interesting.

There was Wi-Fi in the cafรฉ, so Yang Guo picked a few more interesting photos, edited them on Weibo and posted them on the Internet (at that time, there was no function of uploading multiple pictures at the same time).

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qiqi woke up, Yang Guo came out of the cafรฉ, and walked around ** while it was still very bright, **except for taking pictures and sighing at my domineering in Greater China, there were not many interesting things, it was almost evening now, and I couldn't see the flag-raising ceremony.

After walking for a day, Yang Guo didn't feel tired, he didn't plan to call a taxi, because it was only a distance of more than a station from here to Wangfujing, he walked over there, ready to find an old belly shop that he had seen in the tourist brochure before.

Coming to the capital, staying in the hotel every day to eat the same meals all over the country is really a waste, so many delicious snacks in the capital, even if you can't taste each one, seize the opportunity to give it a try!

(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, let's take a ticket and smash the cold door!) โ‰งโ–ฝโ‰ฆ๏ผ‰

Walking on the road, I suddenly heard a few words of English. In fact, it is not strange to hear English Yang Guo in the capital, because there are too many foreign tourists in the capital, and I saw a lot of them in the Forbidden City in the morning! It's just these few words of English, Yang Guo heard a kind of anxious and helpless mood.

When I turned my head, I saw a middle-aged man with a thin beard and a Middle Eastern face standing in front of an old man with a red armband, and anxiously explained: "No, _what_I_am_asking_is_washroom, _where_is_the_washroom?" No, I'm asking about the bathroom, where is the bathroom?) PS: Except for a few words, the following dialogue should be in Chinese as much as possible. ๏ผ‰

"I'm a wheel?" The old man was confused, and he said, "Are you the wheel?" โ€

"Yes, yes," the middle-aged foreigner nodded and shook his head, "No, isn't it, it's washroom?" โ€

The old man still didn't understand, and he asked again, "Am I a wheel?" No, I'm not a wheel. โ€

Helplessly, the middle-aged foreigner changed the word and asked again: "lavatory, where is the lavatory (bathroom)?" Not only was he trying to explain, but he was also gesturing to the toilet with his hands and feet.

But the old man was still confused, but when he saw the body language of the middle-aged foreigner, he asked suspiciously, "Do you mean the toilet?" WC๏ผŸ โ€

This foreigner is the accent of the United States, and the abbreviation of this domestic "household name" has only been used in England, and almost no one has seen it in the United States, how can a middle-aged foreigner understand, he still thinks that the old man is saying another thing!

"No, no," the middle-aged foreigner was already anxious, and he clutched his feet and scratched his cheeks as he tried to explain the word bathroom to the old man.

Yang Guo looked at it and laughed in his heart, the language barrier is indeed a big problem, a few years ago, when the Beijing held the Olympic Games, almost everyone was learning English, and now the enthusiasm has faded, the question and answer between the old man who manages the street sanitation and this middle-aged foreigner with a special situation is like a chicken and a duck, not on the same channel at all.

Yang Guo stepped forward and said to the middle-aged foreigner in English: "Hello, let me come, please wait a moment." โ€

He turned his head and said to the old man, "Uncle, this foreign friend actually asked where the toilet was, so you can point it out to him." โ€

The old man patted his thigh and smiled, "I'll just say that my guess is correct!" He gestured like this, which meant going to the toilet, and shook his head. You're smart, young man, and you know how to speak English! The old man babbled for a long time before pointing to an alley and saying, "Follow here, turn left at the end, and you will see." โ€

Yang Guo translated it to the middle-aged foreigner as usual, and the muscles on his face finally relaxed, because he was in a hurry to go to the toilet, he just hurriedly thanked Yang Guo, and then ran over there, it seems that the time to hold back is not short!

Shaking his head, Yang Guo turned his head funny, thanked the enthusiastic old man with the armband, and walked towards the old shop. He was now just across the street from the shop, and when he looked up, he could see the big, quaintly decorated sign.

Yang Guo found that no matter whether the things they sell are new products or not, or whether the decoration and service inside are very modern, as long as it is an old store and a time-honored brand, they like to tidy up the store outside with a sense of the times.

It's also easy for customers to find, because at a glance, this is an old restaurant with a long history, and the food inside should be very authentic! I have to say that such a marketing strategy is still a complete success! The queue of guests sitting on the bench in front of the door is a good indication of how popular it is.

Yang Guo was also queuing, and suddenly his shoulder was patted, and when he looked back, it was the middle-aged foreign man just now, and he smiled happily: "It turns out that you are here, I have been looking for a long time." โ€

Yang Guo also smiled at him.

"Thank you so much just now, your help is very timely." The middle-aged foreign man grinned, his beard shaking with the muscles of his cheeks.

"You're welcome." Yang Guo looked at him and smiled, "Actually, if you ask for directions in China, it's best to find young people, they have received more English education." โ€

"Oh! I thought they were carrying this," said the middle-aged foreigner, gesturing his arm and drawing the armband, "and I heard from my friends that they had been to China during the Olympics, and the Chinese volunteers could all speak English." โ€

Yang Guo smiled awkwardly, at that time, the whole country was holding the Olympic Games, and the whole capital was crazy about learning English, and uncles and aunts could hum two sentences of "good_morning", but it was just a momentary heat, and after a few years, it returned to the original point, and it was ridiculous to think about it. Yang Guo didn't want to talk to him on this issue, so he opened the topic: "Do you want to taste belly popping and Chinese specialty food when you come here?" โ€

"Is it delicious?" The middle-aged foreign asked with interest, "I found you mainly to say thank you again!" I also want to ask you, do you know how to get to the guest hotel? โ€

When he was talking about visitors, his tone was very flat, and it sounded like he was saying "come to Ke", Yang Guo was still a little confused at first, and was about to say that he had just come to the capital, and when he was not very familiar, the middle-aged foreign man took out his room key and room card and pointed it to Yang Guo: "Oh, come to Ke, this is the hotel that came to Keda." โ€

Yang Guo suddenly realized, he smiled and took out his room card, shook it in front of the eyes of the middle-aged foreigner, and said, "I know, I live in the same hotel as you." โ€

"That's great! We really have a fate," the middle-aged foreign man said excitedly, "Can you tell me how to go back?" โ€

Yang Guo recalled the map he had memorized before coming out to play, and found that it was too complicated to explain to a foreigner middle-aged man in words how to take a ride and transfer back to the hotel, so he said: "I'll go back after eating, do you want to eat together and then go together?" This shop is very famous, and it's not a pig's, it's a sheep's. โ€

Most of the people in the Middle East are Muslims, so Yang Guo explained it to him.

The middle-aged foreign man said happily, "Is it okay?" That's really an honor, I came to China, in addition to traveling, I also want to taste Chinese food! โ€

After queuing for more than ten minutes, it was finally their turn to wait for a vacant seat. Yang Guo first ordered the two signature staple dishes of belly gourd and belly sandan, and the foreign middle-aged man, under Yang Guo's translation, also ordered a few dishes that he thought should be delicious.

The food was served quickly, and within three minutes of placing the order, a plate of hot dishes was served.

"It smells so good!" The middle-aged foreign man said with a thumbs up. Under Yang Guo's teaching, he began to learn to use chopsticks, watching his three fingers awkwardly pinching the chopsticks to clip the belly, the belly swaying on the tip of the chopsticks, Yang Guo was particularly worried that it would fall down.

Kiki was also seduced by the strong fragrance of the belly, and she began to dance restlessly in Yang Guo's arms. Yang Guo picked up a lamb tripe and dipped it in the sauce, Qiqi waited with her little mouth open, but when she saw her father stuffed it into her own mouth, Qiqi waved her little hand and hummed dissatisfiedly, and her little body twisted to vent her uncomfortable emotions.

"Your kids want to try it too." The foreign middle-aged man motioned to Yang Guo and said with a smile.

Yang Guo said with a wry smile: "She just likes this fragrance, and she can't eat it!" Not yet a year old. โ€

The foreign middle-aged man nodded and smiled: "She's so cute." โ€

Qiqi was making a lot of noise, and Yang Guo had to put down the food in front of him first and think of countermeasures. Yang Guo used chopsticks to flick the lamb tripe soup in the bowl, let the soup stick on the chopsticks, and then stretched the chopsticks in front of Qiqi's mouth. I can't eat meat, so I should be fine if I taste some soup, Yang Guo thought.

Kiki saw the chopsticks, smelled the smell that made her salivate, stopped the writhing movement, and the slightly red eyes stopped the tears that were about to overflow, she sniffed, and then took the chopsticks in her mouth and sucked it.

I thought Kiki would suck and refuse to let go, but Kiki swallowed it and spit it out in disgust, and she spit out all the saliva in her mouth. Yang Guo was caught off guard, and Kiki's saliva moistened her chin and the round neck of her clothes.

Yang Guo was angry and funny, this little fool, quickly pulled out a tissue and wiped it clean for Qiqi. Yang Guo also figured out the reason, the tripe soup must have the fishy smell of sheep, how can it be so sweet as milk, it is amazing that Qiqi can like it!

After finishing Qiqi, Yang Guo turned his head and chatted with the foreign middle-aged man while eating: "By the way, sir, I don't know what to call you yet?" โ€

"My name is Allen_Adham."
