Chapter 108: The Price

Xu Wanning changed a clean spoon again, scooped a piece of potato and a piece of meat, and put them in James's bowl.

"You taste this. ”

James struggled to spoon the potatoes and pieces of meat into his mouth.

The unfamiliar taste exploded in his mouth, hitting his taste buds.

James is a little gentleman after all, and he has been holding back not to speak during the meal, but he gave Xu Wanning a thumbs up.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, he took the initiative to scoop the vinegared cabbage with a spoon and eat it.

Xu Wanning cut the cabbage into relatively large pieces, which is just right to scoop with a spoon.

The others were so happy to see James eating that they followed his example and tried to eat food they had never seen before.

But the results are clear, and everyone is full of praise.

The conductor stood in the corner, watching everyone eat and swallow his saliva subconsciously.

He also wanted to eat.

Just one meal brought Xu Wanning closer to the foreign guests.

In addition, she is fluent in foreign languages, and there is no barrier for foreign guests to communicate with her, and it doesn't take long for James's mother to call each other sisters.

Until the evening, seeing that the foreign guests were a little tired, Xu Wanning said goodbye to them and returned to her carriage.

She had barely taken two steps when she was stopped by the conductor.

"Comrade Xu, let me take the liberty of asking, did you guess early in the morning that foreign guests would like our Chinese food?"

No, what foreign guests like is not general Chinese food, but the Chinese food she makes.

After all, not every Chinese person is like her, has received systematic training, and she basically knows how to cook Chinese, Western, French, and Italian food.

So it's easy to make food that welcomes the group.

It is no exaggeration for her to say that if the person who cooks today is replaced by another person, she will definitely not achieve such an effect.

That's right, that's what she does!

But this should never be said to the conductor.

"As the saying goes, if you want to capture a person's heart, you must first grab his stomach. And we happened to have a meal again, which was a trick. ”

"However, making vinegared cabbage and potato roast pork is indeed my careful consideration, firstly, the ingredients on the train are limited, and secondly, the foreign guests are used to knives and forks, and will not use our Chinese chopsticks, and the two dishes I make can barely be eaten with a spoon. ”

"I see. The conductor couldn't help but give Xu Wanning a thumbs up: "Comrade Xu, you are so amazing." ”

"The conductor has won the prize. ”

"I'm really bothering you today, you have a good rest, and tomorrow I guess I have to stay with you for a day. Tomorrow morning, I'll bring breakfast over. ”

"Then thank you Captain. ”

When Xu Wanning went back, Da Chun and her sister were already asleep, and Dai Wei sat on the edge of the bed to protect them and nap at the same time.

Xu Wanning slowed down her pace and leaned on the bed to take a nap.

Early the next morning, the conductor brought breakfast as promised last night.

"Now only James is awake, clamoring to see you, and I guess you'll have to go over after eating. ”

"No problem. ”

But Xu Wanning still couldn't finish breakfast after all, because James had already dragged his mother to the carriage where Xu Wanning was.

"There are two children here. ”

Da Chun's sister still had food in her mouth, and looked at James with a confused expression.

Why does this child look so strange? His skin is too white, his eyes are a rare brown color, and even his hair is light in color, and he is malnourished at first glance.

The younger sister looked at the half-eaten breakfast she had eaten, and whispered to Xu Wanning: "Mom, I still have some snacks in my bag that I brought from home, let's share a little with this child." He looked as if he was sick. ”

Xu Wanning laughed dumbly.

The two children had never seen a foreigner before, so they naturally didn't know that people in different countries looked different, so they thought that James, who looked different from them, was sick.

Xu Wanning patiently explained the reason to Da Chun and her sister.

"So, he's a foreigner, so he looks different from us, isn't it because he's sick?"

"You look at his strong body, where does he look like he is malnourished?"

"So now, are you going to give him your snacks?"

My sister thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Mom, he is a foreigner, he looks different from us, is the food he eats different?"

Xu Wanning shook her head: "This question, my mother has no way to answer you, because everyone's tastes are different, and I can't answer for James." Mom thinks you can give it a try, though. ”

"Good. ”

Da Chun and Mi Mei are not stingy children, so naturally they did not refuse.

The brother and sister looked head to head, rummaging in their luggage bags, and finally took out two cans of canned yellow peaches, a little peach crisp and candy, and some Poria cakes, which Xu Wanning made at home.

Dajiangcun Supply and Marketing Cooperatives sell too few snacks, and there are many different kinds of snacks in Xu Wanning's space, but it is not easy to take them out rashly, so the children usually eat only these few things.

The younger sister stuffed the snacks to James, and said with a smile: "This is the food that my brother and I usually like to eat, and I don't know if you like it or not, you can taste it, and if you don't like it, you can return it to us, it's okay." ”

James looked at the bits and pieces in his arms, and his brown pupils looked at Xu Wanning in confusion, asking for help.

He couldn't understand a word of what this cute little sister was saying.

Translator Xu Shangxian: "James, let me introduce you to these two children of the same age as you, my son and daughter. They're excited to see you, so they want to share with you their favorite food, would you like to try it?"

"I want it!" James immediately stuffed a piece of peach cake into his mouth, but he didn't expect to eat it in such a hurry that he almost choked.

My sister hurriedly handed over a glass jar: "Brother drink water." ”

This glass jar was vacated by the canned yellow peaches they ate yesterday, and my uncle washed it several times, and it was very clean and no one used it.

"Thank you. After James politely thanked him, he poured a large mouthful of water and finally recovered.

"Mommy, my younger siblings have shared their food with me, so can I share my snacks with them as well?" James asked his mother.

Selena smiled softly: "Of course, this is your right, you can make your own decisions." ”

"Xu, I'll go back, come over right away. Please help me talk to them. ”

With that, James hurried away.

The younger sister blinked her eyes: "Mom, doesn't he like it?"
