4 - White Prediction
In an embarrassing atmosphere, I didn't speak for a long time, and Li Mengmeng glanced at me a few times and didn't open her mouth to continue.
We soon arrived at a small courtyard, a relatively remote place, Li Mengmeng parked the car, turned to look at me, and poked me in the arm with the car: "Let's go, get out of the car, eat!" Daze again! ”
We got out of the car and waited for Wei Yiyun and Pearl to park the car and get down, Li Mengmeng beckoned: "Let's go!" You've never been to this store! Go, follow me, you have meat to eat! ”
This courtyard is inconspicuous, it is a two-story private house, there is no difference from the outside, we went up to the second floor and saw that the floor was laid inside, all the tables were three kinds of low tables, there were no chairs, similar to the Japanese tatami structure, sitting on the ground to eat. The decoration of the restaurant is not outstanding or inconspicuous, and there are no waiters who come out to receive it, Li Mengmeng shouted "Boss!" At this time, a middle-aged aunt in her forties came out of it and bowed to us.
"Boss, bring us a mutton hot pot, put more daylily, and then a plate of kimchi fried fish, and a plate of fried vermicelli. For drinks, let's have some juice, watermelon juice! Li Mengmeng didn't ask us what we were going to eat at all, and "domineering" ordered it for us.
The proprietress bowed and said non-standard, "Okay, just wait a minute." "It can be seen that this middle-aged woman with a Chinese appearance is not Chinese, but may be Korean or Japanese.
"Miss Li, isn't this boss Chinese? Is it the Japanese and bows all the time? Wei Yiyun waited for the proprietress to go in and prepare, so he asked Li Mengmeng first.
"Koreans. Her husband works at an American mine next door, and she opened this Korean restaurant in Dongkwa. Also, don't call me Miss Li, the word Miss is not good, just call me Li Mengmeng! Li Mengmeng talked about the boss lady, and pretended to threaten Wei Yiyun in a heavy tone.
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing! But I don't think it's popular! There is only one table for us, and there is not even a waiter! Wei Yiyun said to Li Mengmeng with a smile.
"No, I know. This restaurant is doing very well! It's just that business is on weekends! On weekends, a lot of white people drive over to eat, there are often queues, and the restaurant is very expensive. Pearl pulled the corner of Wei Yiyun's clothes and lowered his head lightly.
"Yes, your woman is right! This is the most exclusive restaurant in Dongkua! Li Mengmeng nodded at the pearl and turned to Wei Yiyun and said.
"It's so broken, you don't even have a waiter? The rich man is not as good as this store? Wei Yiyun felt incredible, and he didn't believe that this poorly decorated restaurant with no waiters was the most upscale restaurant in Dongkua.
“low! Immature! What is the use of good restaurant decoration, the restaurant is for eating, the most important thing is the food and taste, as well as the unique feelings and culture, as well as the corresponding social bonds. First of all, the food in this restaurant is the freshest, with lamb, donkey meat and beef being the specialties here, which are all transported by air from Burkina Faso to Kumasi and then transported over. Moreover, the soup of this proprietress's hot pot is made by him with local herbs and beef bones, and moringa seeds and moringa leaves are added, which is particularly delicious; In addition, since this is the only non-Chinese and non-local restaurant in Dongkua, all foreigners like to come here, and it also forms a social circle, and they come here on weekends to communicate and even look for cooperation opportunities. So, your point of view is shallow, the mountain is not high and there is a fairy, you know? Li Mengmeng methodically "advertised" the store, and pointed to a note on a blackboard on the wall and said, "You see, the note on it is a lot of information looking for cooperation or other exchanges." ”
Pearl stood up and looked at the papers, then sat down and said, "Yes, there is one on it for a heavy bulldozer, another for engineering professionals to help look at a technical problem in bridge construction, and some for capital investment." ”
"What's that moringa seed?" Wei Yiyun was not interested in these, but asked about the moringa seeds that Li Mengmeng just mentioned.
"Moringa, a plant native to India, its fruit is rich in iron and calcium, and has the function of treating diabetes and three highs, it also has alkaloids, which has a hangover and liver protection effect. The most amazing thing about him is that he can test the human heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys! Li Mengmeng asked and answered and explained to Wei Yiyun.
"Oh, this is the divine fruit we ate that day! Xiaosheng, isn't it? Xiaosheng, what's wrong with you, absent-minded! Wei Yiyun turned his head and asked me.
"Oh? What the? I didn't hear clearly. "I'm still immersed in what Li Mengmeng said, it turns out that I'm in China with which girl I have a little affection for, but now Li Mengmeng said it herself, which made me uneasy and overwhelmed.
"Leave him alone, he's just a nerd, what can he think? It's nothing more than wanting to be beautiful! Li Mengmeng stared at me and said playfully, her tone was very similar to Lei Liu'er.
"Oh? I want to be white, right? Wei Yiyun pushed me and asked me.
"The Pacific Ocean is big enough to accommodate the United States and China. Xiaosheng's heart must also be very big, and it must be able to accommodate more than one beauty, Xiaosheng, isn't it? Li Mengmeng still stared at me and said to me.
"What? Is the meal ready? I'm a little hungry! I didn't dare to look directly into Li Mengmeng's eyes, so I changed the topic and stood up and looked at the blackboard.
Li Mengmeng and Wei Yiyun continued to chat, and I didn't listen to what they were talking about anymore, mostly laughing at me or talking about me. I just looked aimlessly at the various small notes on the blackboard, there was a small envelope paper pasted on the corner of the blackboard, the handwriting was a little sloppy, written in English, written in a red pen, the number of words was not more than six or seven lines, a hundred words. I casually looked at it and was attracted by the contents: "NDC will definitely win, and all gold mining members should pay attention to controlling costs, shrinking mineral resources, and preventing losses caused by the government changing the law to clean up gold mines." "The signature below is sloppy, and I don't know what it means.
"What does NDC mean?" I turned my head and asked Li Mengmeng.
"NDC is the current ruling party in Ghana! NDC stands for Democratic Congress Party, and the biggest opposition party is the NPP New Patriotic Party, and you must have seen them on the streets, their slogans or flags. The NDC's logo is a black, red, white and green four-color umbrella; The logo of the NPP is a blue elephant. Li Mengmeng looked back at me and replied with a smile.
"I've seen it, there were a lot of elephant flags on the street outside this yard just now!" Wei Yiyun sounded the flag on the street just now and said.
"We at Dongkwa and Kumasi mainly support the NPP, so you can often see their flags here!" Pearl took Wei Yiyun's words and said.
I was about to tell them about the note I had seen, when a middle-aged Korean proprietress brought out a boiling hot pot and gently placed it on our table, followed by a black maid who brought a plate of fresh mutton, kimchi fried fish, and fried vermicelli. It seems that Koreans eat hot pot by boiling it in a pot first and then putting it in the hot pot.
"Eat slowly!" The Korean lady said to us in blunt Chinese.
"Sit, Xiaosheng, what are you stunned about, weren't you urging vegetables just now! Come, sit here! Li Mengmeng asked me to sit next to her and set up the dishes and chopsticks for me.
