Chapter 90, Home Cooking
"I left and came back. Boy..."
"Adam, you can call me Adam." Nan Yi said.
"OK, Adam, where are you going?" Scarlett spread her hands and said.
"Go home, how about you? Come to our school?"
Scarlett shrugged and said, "No, I was just taking a walk. I don't know why I ended up here."
"Oh, it's dinner time, have you eaten?"
"No."
"So, do you want to come together?"
"You want to invite me to dinner?"
"No." Nan Yi smiled charmingly, "What I mean is, I'll eat it, look at it, and I'll smell it for you."
"Aha, you are such an interesting person." Scarlett smiled.
"Just a joke, if you don't mind, I formally extend an invitation to you for dinner. Doll [Beauty], can I invite you to dinner?"
"Sure!"
"OK, let's go."
Nan Yi took Scarlett and walked towards the old bungalow. Pedestrians on the road paid attention to them one after another, trying to see the Western view.
There are already many foreigners in Beijing, and most people in Beijing have seen them.
But they rarely see a foreign woman walking alone with a Chinese man, talking and laughing.
"When you come back this time, do you have another interview mission?"
"No, NBC is setting up a Beijing office, and I was selected to be stationed here."
"Oh, you want to stay here permanently?"
"Yes, I will stay here for at least two years."
"It's good. We have peace here, there is no war, and the people are very hospitable. There are also a lot of delicious food. Of course, the premise is that you can get used to Chinese food."
"Of course, I agree to come here because I like Chinese food. There are so many delicious foods here. In two years, I will eat all your delicious food." Scarlett said excitedly.
"That's good, otherwise, I will have to cook you Western food. I really don't have any ingredients for Western food. The most I can do is make you an unauthentic salad."
"Have you ever eaten Western food?"
"Have eaten. Do you know that there is an old Mo in the capital?"
"I know, your foreign affairs personnel told me that I have been there and it is not to my liking. It is the Soviet revisionist approach."
"Hmm, I have a question for you. I don't know if it would be too presumptuous."
"Ask whatever you want to ask."
"I can see that you are of Irish and Irish descent, and probably Prussian, am I right?"
Scarlett smiled and said: "You are right. Not only do I have the three ancestry you mentioned, but I also have Jewish and Caucasian ancestry, and one-sixth of my ancestry is the same as yours."
"Let me just say, your facial features are not as three-dimensional as those of ordinary Westerners, and you also have a bit of Eastern charm about you."
"So, how did you tell that I have multiple bloodlines?"
"This is my secret, a man's secret." Nan Yi said with a mysterious smile.
He wasn't very round about this question, so he might as well pretend to be mysterious.
"Wow, he turns out to be a person with a secret."
"Of course, I have secrets, and you also have secrets. Maybe when we can exchange secrets with each other, then the two of us will have more secrets, our common secrets."
"I'll invite you to the International for a drink another day, and we can exchange secrets there." Scarlett said, throwing a wink at Nan Yi that was not really a wink.
"I am looking forward."
The two walked for five or six minutes and arrived at Nanyi's old bungalow.
"This is my house."
Scarlett stood outside the courtyard gate and looked at the old house for a while, "It's very beautiful."
"Thank you, please come in."
Nan Yi welcomed Scarlett into the living room and asked her to sit down, "Coffee or tea? I have Italian and American coffee, and only green tea for tea."
"Italian."
"Hold on."
Nan Yi ran to Lai Biao's old room and found all the guys he drank coffee with.
Lai Biao likes to drink coffee, and he also has channels to get good coffee.
Twenty minutes later, Nan Yi made two cups of freshly ground Italian coffee, handed one to Scarlett, sat opposite her, and picked up the sugar cube on the table, "Would you like to add sugar?"
"Half a pill, thank you."
Nan Yi took out a candy from the candy box, cut it in half with a knife, gave half to Scarlett, and put the other half back into the candy box.
Nan Yi usually doesn't drink coffee unless he stays up late. To refresh himself, naturally the bitterer the better.
Take a sip, the coffee is good!
This was the first time for Nan Yi to drink Lai Biao's coffee. He is now young, energetic, and has strong firepower. He doesn't need coffee to refresh himself.
"Adam, you are the only person I met in the capital who really knows how to drink coffee." Scarlett took a sip of coffee and nodded with satisfaction.
"Really? It shouldn't be. You are staying in a foreign-related hotel. Have you never seen it there?"
"No, the coffee drinkers I met can only say that they can afford coffee, but I cannot say that they know how to drink coffee."
"Thank you." Nan Yi took another sip of coffee and said, "Do you like black Mexican food?"
"You want to ask me if I eat spicy food?"
"right."
"I can eat spicy food."
"OK, then you sit down for a while. If you are hungry, you can eat some biscuits first." Nan Yi pointed to the tin biscuit can on the table, then stood up and walked into the yard.
Kick off the sealing door of the coal stove in the corner of the yard, put the kettle on it, walk to the side, open the door of a wooden cabinet, and reveal two refrigerators inside.
Nanyi had to put a disguise on the refrigerator. The refrigerator was too eye-catching, let alone two.
There is pork and beef in the freezer. You can make a small stir-fried pork, a stir-fried beef with pickled vegetables; asparagus and cucumber salad, tomatoes and scrambled eggs to make noodles, so you have a staple food.
Nanyi cost-effectively prepared the dishes, washed what needed to be washed, and cut what needed to be cut.
"Do you need help?"
Scarlett walked to Nan Yi with coffee in hand.
"Can you cook Chinese food?"
"Won't."
"There's nothing you can do to help, just wait and eat."
"That's such a shame."
Scarlett shrugged. When she said she wanted to help, she actually didn't have much sincerity. This was a courtesy she learned after arriving in the capital.
Nan Yi was busy there, and Scarlett stood aside and watched. It wasn't until Nan Yi finished cooking all the dishes that she followed Nan Yi back to the living room.
"Do I need to get you a spoon and a fork?"
"No, I can use chopsticks. I often order fried noodles from Chinese restaurants for takeout."
With that said, Scarlett picked up a piece of beef and pickled vegetables with chopsticks. Not to mention, the posture was a bit awkward, but the holding was very stable.
"Nice!" After taking a bite, Scarlett praised: "It's different from what I had in New York or your restaurant. It has a very unique taste."
"The taste of home, we call it homely taste, mom's taste."
