In Yang Xiuwen's previous life, he studied business administration, and foreign language was a hard standard.

After graduating, I worked in the private sector and often dealt with foreign businessmen.

Therefore, he is not only familiar with Eagle language, but also knows Polar Bear Chinese, Plaster Flag and Stick Language.

After talking to a foreign man, the man is from Eagle Nation and is called Edward Jack.

He is a journalist for a travel magazine in Eagle Country.

China has opened its doors widely, and it has been a few years since the reform and opening up.

Some foreigners have come to China, most of them to build factories and do business.

I also want to know what this mysterious eastern country is like.

Jack falls into the latter category.

When he was a child, he always heard his parents say that Huaguo was very beautiful and mysterious.

The Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Terracotta Warriors, the Great Wall, and food.

So as soon as he joined the magazine, the first place to collect wind was Huaguo.

The first stop is the location of the Terracotta Warriors, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.

Before coming, he made full preparations and learned some simple Chinese colloquialisms, hello, goodbye.

But as soon as he got off the plane, he was stunned.

There are few people in Xi'an who speak Mandarin, and all of them are local dialects.

Melon baby, ha, are you chatting? I don't understand a word!

Fortunately, before getting off the plane, the flight attendant wrote him a hotel address "Xi'an Overseas Chinese Hotel".

to be able to settle down.

I woke up early today and wanted to walk around the city in search of oriental food, but I lost myself.

Thirsty and hungry, fortunately I met Li Xiaotong and them.

Yang Xiuwen thought it was funny, this kid was too bold, he didn't understand the language, and he didn't know the road, so he dared to wander around.

I'm not afraid that the bad guys will cheat him.

Ask him what he would like to eat?

Jack looked left and right, and it happened that Nie Ye, who was at the table next to him, was holding a piece of lamb neck and eating it with relish.

Licking his lips, "I want to eat him like that!" “

Yang Xiuwen nodded, "Yes, how much do you want, half a catty or a catty?" “

"How much is that?" Jack asked.

"Half a catty!"

"Then bring me a pound, and noodles, and a bowl! I think I can eat a cow now! Jack said exaggeratedly.

The lamb was quickly brought up to him.

Jack lowered his backpack and carefully placed the cannon-barrel-like camera in the corner of the table.

began to clumsily hold the chopsticks to pick up the meat, and the movements were very funny.

I tried several times, but I didn't pick up a piece of meat.

It made the diners laugh out loud.

Yang Xiuwen couldn't help but smile and said, "Jack, don't use chopsticks, just use your hands!" I'll get you a fork in a minute! “

Jack said with relief, "It's so difficult, two small wooden sticks, it seems simple, but it's not easy to operate!"

It's amazing how flexible you are! “

Yang Xiuwen explained to him the origin of chopsticks and some Chinese philosophies contained in them.

The kid didn't even eat the meat when he heard this, and excitedly took out a notebook and quickly recorded it.

There were bursts of exclamations in his mouth: "Magical wooden sticks, magical oriental culture!" ”

The diners in the restaurant all looked at them with curiosity.

Seeing this, Yang Xiuwen explained, "I just popularized the Chinese chopsticks culture for Jack!" ”

Nie Ye said, "Young man, you also tell us about it, I seem to be very surprised to see this doll." ”

"That's right! Tell me about it! “

"That is, can this chopsticks have any culture? It's the first time I've heard of it! “

"Tell me!"

The diners were gossiping for a while.

Yang Xiuwen was also speechless, what kind of coaxing are you following!

But it doesn't seem to work.

Sorted out the language, "Everyone, this little chopstick, but the ancestors left a big truth to you!"

Let's talk about the inventor of chopsticks first, it is said to be Dayu.

Dayu once led the people to control the floods, you all know this!

But when eating, everyone's hands are muddy and dirty, how can they eat?

In ancient times, people ate by hand, pinching and grasping.

Everyone has heard that the index finger is moving, which means that the ancestors used to eat with their hands.

In the past, the utensils used to hold rice were like bowls used by monks to make marriages, including pottery, wood, and stone.

One for each person, eat separately.

If you put your hand into someone else's bowl, it's called a touch ...

Ha ha! Say Yuanle!

So Le! , Dayu used two wooden sticks instead of hands.

The people followed suit, and chopsticks were born!

But later people, and the chopsticks and heaven and earth, humanities, yin and yang combined, forming a unique Chinese chopsticks culture. “

As he spoke, he picked up a pair of chopsticks, "Look, the chopsticks are divided into two ends, one square and the other round, implying that the sky is round and the place is round."

But when you take it, why do you take the other end of the square?

It also represents another meaning, to be square and tactful.

So what is Yin and Yang?

You try, two chopsticks move together, it won't work. “

Everyone took the chopsticks in their hands and tried left and right.

Ay? It seems that you can't move at the same time, which is kind of interesting.

I don't really pay much attention to this kind of thing.

After everyone finished trying, Yang Xiuwen continued, "How about it? Isn't it okay? This is yin and yang!

One static and one moving, one yin and one yang, yin and yang match, it is reasonable! “

"Bang Bang ... Good! You can say that again! People eating at the restaurant began to applaud.

Nie Ye gave him a thumbs up, "It's so exciting, okay!" Lad, very knowledgeable!

It's a pity! You shouldn't be a cook, you should go to school, you should go to college! “

Li Dejun walked up to Yang Xiuwen and grabbed his shoulders.

He turned his head to Nie Ye and said, "Haha! Dude! You're mistaken.

He is a college student, he went to college in Zhongjing, and he is still a son-in-law!

That's a daughter, who also goes to college in Zhongjing! ”

After speaking, he pointed to Li Xiaotong beside Aunt Liu.

Li Xiaotong didn't expect his father to come like this suddenly, and his pretty face suddenly turned red.

Nie Ye praised repeatedly, "Brother, what a blessing!" The daughter and son-in-law are both college students.

Especially this baby, she will definitely be able to do great things in the future! “

"Hahaha! Thank you, brother, for your good words! Today's meal, please! “

Li Dejun said happily.

Nie Ye was also full of joy, "Then thank you, brother, hahaha!" “

Get! One wishes, one wishes!

It's all so sincere!

Jack took a bite of the mutton, his eyes narrowed, as if he was intoxicated, and he couldn't extricate himself.

Then he began to gobble up, constantly praising "good!very good!" ”

After the soup noodles came, he used the fork that Yang Xiuwen found for him to pick one and suck it into his mouth.

Another burst of emotion: "Very delicious!"

Mr yang, this is the most delicious food I have ever eaten in China! “

At this time, Nie Ye had finished eating, burped, and stood up satisfied.

But just as he turned around, an accident happened.

The restaurant is not large, and the space between the tables is very narrow.

When passing by Jack's desk, he bumped into it, only to hear a "pop" sound, and the camera in the corner of the table was knocked over.

I think that when designing the restaurant, Li Xiaotong's parents adopted Yang Xiuwen's suggestion and used marble slabs to pave the floor.

First, it looks high-end, and secondly, it is also non-slip.

The height of the dining table is 80 cm.

In the 90s, cameras were a rarity, and cameras with telephoto lenses were even rarer and extremely expensive.

Yang Xiuwen saw the logo of the camera, a certain Ni.

If you fall on the marble floor, the consequences...

It all came so suddenly.

So much so that Jack and Nie Ye didn't react.

Motionless, just so stupid, watching the camera fall to the ground.

A tragedy is about to happen!

Out of nowhere, a hand stretched out, instantly appeared under the camera, and caught it steadily.

At this time, the distance between the camera and the ground is less than ten centimeters.
