Chapter 471: Chinese Food Takes the United States by Storm (It's 8000 Today, Hey)
May 1o. Chicago, Illinois, USA. After a day of work, Augustus dragged his tired body home.
When he returned home, he saw his wife preparing a delicious dinner for himself, and Augustus felt exhausted.
My wife's three meals have always been good, and the appetizers, soups, meals, and desserts are all delicious.
"Honey, what to eat tonight???"
"Appetizers include apple juice, chicken and vegetables for the main meal, potatoes and pears after the meal."
"Wow!! It's so hearty!! ”
Augustus couldn't help but praise.
The two talked sweetly again, and Augustus went to wash up and change into refreshing family pajamas.
By the time he had done this, his wife had already put dinner on the table, and was waiting for Augustus to eat together.
Juices, burgers with vegetables, chicken, potatoes, and fruits, hearty!
!
"Honey, you're so nice!!"
Augustus was once again a sycophant, coaxing his wife to be sweet and dizzy.
Augustus turned on the television and chose Chicago TV.
Eating dinner while watching TV is a habit formed by the couple over the past year, and it is also a continuation of happiness, and the couple can always find the warmth of both parties in the TV program.
"Huh? What is this? ”
When Augustus jumped to Chicago TV, tonight's program was a little different from the previous programs, not in English, but in Chinese.
In the show, a large kitchen is playing, and more than a dozen chefs in uniform are constantly shaking the cooking pot.
Bottles of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are placed in a kitchen, and the steam fills the air.
Then the camera changes.
In a village, a man was rubbing a whole pig with a powder, steaming and cutting it, and then adding the kudzu ...... Soon, in the camera, there was a huge grand wedding banquet scene with fifty or sixty tables on it, with lanterns hanging high and beaming with joy.
And on top of every table.
Filled with chicken, pork, bracken, greens, tofu...... A dozen plates of dishes that Augustus had never seen...... Grunt...... Augustus couldn't help but swallow as he looked at the table full of dishes...... I originally wanted to change the channel, but I couldn't help but change it, but continued to watch the TV again.
And his wife was also staring at the TV with wide eyes at this time.
Although there are some words in Huaxia on TV that I don't know very well, there is basically no language barrier and I can understand it.
Later, they saw mushroom soup dumplings, steamed egg dumplings, West Lake vinegar fish, salted duck eggs, golden shrimp balls, chopped pepper fish head, fried stinky tofu, braised lion's head, blanched dried dried sweet and sour pineapple pork ribs, steamed chicken, steamed pork, and Jun'an steamed pig...... All kinds of cuisine, although I don't understand what they are.
But I still saw the couple's hearts swaying, and their saliva flowed...... When the TV show ended, the two came back to their senses, and then they learned the name of the show from the TV, called "A Bite of China".
The grade of gourmet food!
What is high-end?
?
“……”
The couple looked at what they thought was a sumptuous dinner on the table, and now ...... It's just crude pig food!
!
!
Augustus and his wife are full of cows!
!
!
The two rummaged through the refrigerator.
Now it's all bread, sauce, cream and whatever, and there is no rice, let alone Chinese food.
That night, for the first time, they felt that the original sumptuous dinner was so hard to swallow that they decided to go to a Chinese restaurant the next day to find something to eat.
Later, the husband and wife looked for the program "A Bite of China" on the Internet.
By this time, the show had aired 5 episodes in Chicago, and it was gaining unparalleled popularity both online and on TV!
!
With this program, Chicago TV has received higher ratings than TV series.
And became the weekly ratings champion of American television!
!
Then the couple had another thing, the director of this show is called Wang Shang, which is exactly the same as the name of the director of "Avatar".
With countless surprises, the couple watched episodes 1-4 of "A Bite of China" all night, and didn't finish watching it until two o'clock in the morning.
It's a hell of an ordeal!
!
!
After a restless night's sleep, the couple hurried to get up the next morning and rushed to the nearest Chinese restaurant.
“oh,may~god!!!”
Upon arriving at the venue, Augustus was shocked to see that there was already a long line of customers in front of the Chinese restaurant!
!
There are many, many customers, whites, blacks, men, women, and children, everyone!
It's bustling and very lively!
Augustus soon noticed another point, the restaurant's four wall-mounted televisions were playing the familiar "A Bite of China" at this time.
The whole restaurant scene is boiling and lively.
"I want mushroom soup dumplings!"
"I want sauerkraut dumplings!"
"I want three-color flowering steamed buns, as well as pepper and salt scallion rolls!"
A large number of foreigners operate half-cooked Chinese shouting about the breakfast snacks they want to eat, and it is worth mentioning that the names of these breakfast snacks are all learned from "China on the Tip of the Tongue".
"Hello customers, they all say that we don't have any mushroom soup dumplings, no sauerkraut dumplings, and no three-color flowering steamed buns......"
The restaurant staff sweated profusely as they explained, and then quickly completed the transaction with the other customers.
And those foreign customers were not happy, shouting: "Aren't you Chinese? Why aren't there any of these snacks? You look at all these snacks on TV!! ”
“……”
The clerks were sweating profusely as they greeted and traded, and they were in pain.
Augustus also noticed that the restaurant also placed a job posting in Chinese in a conspicuous place at the door: "Hire a Chinese chef with a high salary, and pay ...... high"
At noon, Augustus and his wife finally enjoyed a sumptuous Chinese meal in Chinatown, 5o kilometers away, and it was so good that they almost swallowed their tongues.
Just as they praised the cooking skills of the restaurant chef, the owner of the restaurant proudly said that in fact, the domestic cuisine in China is much more authentic than the food in his own restaurant, and the taste is naturally several times better than what is eaten here!
!
Hearing this, the Augustus couple suddenly had the urge to go to Huaxia in search of food.
Since Chicago TV broadcast the program "A Bite of China", Chinese food has begun to become popular all over the United States with a crazy degree.
Many Chinese families woke up one night, and now those neighbors have become more friendly and close to them after seeing them, and many neighbors even propose to come to their homes to taste Chinese food or something.
Some Chinese even complained with a smile on the Internet: "The neighbor's family regarded their unpalatable Chinese food as a peerless delicacy, and I finally had confidence in my cooking skills!" ”
And Chinese restaurants in this Chinese food boom, customers skyrocketed, and the turnover skyrocketed!
!
Many Chinese people saw that Chinese restaurants were so popular, and they also opened restaurants one after another, and the demand for Chinese chefs suddenly increased greatly!
!
After "A Bite of China" blew a fierce Chinese food wind in the United States, the news quickly spread back to China, causing heated discussions among the masses, and countless people shouted that Wang Shang had earned face for the country.
Radio and television stations in other countries have also accelerated negotiations with Oriental Television, striving to obtain the local broadcast rights of "A Bite of China" as soon as possible.
And "Survival in the Wilderness" and "Hundred Lectures" are also favored by many countries and want to buy broadcast rights and online video copyrights.
May 2o, ――――――――.
Chuandu, Cangshan Prison.
Today, the prison, which has been abandoned for ten years, welcomes more than a dozen people.
"Mr. Wang, this is our Cangshan Prison in Sichuan."
A burly, thick-eyed man pointed to a stone prison in front of him.
His name is Jiang Zheng, and he is the leader of Sichuan City, and it was completely impossible for him to come to visit the prison like this, but today's people are a little different, so he pushed a lot of important work and came to lead the team.
