The three people walked into the restaurant and found a table by the window to sit down. Yu Haitao raised his hand and shook it toward the bar, signaling the waiter to come over and order. Soon, a waitress wearing a restaurant uniform appeared.
In front of their dining table.
"This is the menu. What would you like to order?" the waitress asked in English, while passing a menu to several people.
"I want this, this, and this..." Ning Mo pointed at the pictures above while flipping through the menu, explaining to the waiter. His English level was limited to some simple daily conversations, and ordering dishes was undoubtedly a challenge.
For tasks that tested his vocabulary, he could only look at pictures and talk. After ordering a few, he accidentally looked up and found that the waiter actually had an Oriental face.
"Hey, are you Chinese?" Ning Mo blurted out, speaking in Chinese.
"Are you Chinese?" The waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately switched to Chinese and greeted several people happily. This is a young Chinese girl in her 20s, with a slim figure, a delicate face, and a sweet voice.
It sounds very pleasant too.
"Haha, what a coincidence." Ning Mo laughed, "If I had known you were Chinese, I wouldn't have bothered to read this bird recipe..."
"Fat man, please speak politely." Qin Hai had to remind Ning Mo. The other party is a girl after all, so why can't you speak more politely?
"Oh, Saorui, Saorui." Ningmo apologized in half-baked English, and then said: "Please remember it for me. We want pan-fried steak, grilled bamboo chicken, butter clams...what else is there?
Wait, Haitao?"
"That's about right. Just order everything." Yu Haitao said.
The girl looked at the group of people and then said softly: "You can have foie gras as an appetizer, a fruit salad, and vegetable soup, and that should be enough."
"Well, let's do that." Ning Mo always seems to be easy to talk to in front of girls. After hearing the girl help them choose the dishes, she nodded and agreed.
"The total is 39 US dollars." The girl calculated the total price and said.
Their pocket money was kept with Yu Haitao. When he heard the price quoted by the girl, Yu Haitao quickly took the bag and started counting the money. Ningmo looked at the girl and asked with a smile: "You are Chinese, why are you here?
What about being a waiter?"
"I am an international student and I work in a restaurant to earn my tuition." The girl replied with a smile. Not many Chinese people went to the United States back then. The girl was very happy to meet a few Chinese people in the restaurant where she worked.
It is not a shame for international students to work in restaurants. Of course, this is limited to working in restaurants in the United States. If they go back to China to work as a restaurant waiter, their parents should feel ashamed.
"Which school are you studying in and what major are you studying?" Qin Hai also interjected and asked. The girl doesn't look like a second-generation official. She should have received a scholarship to study abroad. She was considered a first-level academic at that time.
Character.
"I am from the University of Virginia, studying chemical engineering." The girl replied, "There are no classes these two days, so I came to Washington to work. I can't find any job opportunities around the University of Virginia."
"Is it hard to work part-time?" Qin Hai asked again.
The girl said: "It's okay, Chinese students studying abroad all come here like this."
Yu Haitao found the money, counted out 40 US dollars and handed it to the girl. He said, "You don't have to look for the extra money." The girl smiled shyly and thanked her. Then she hurriedly left and placed orders for them.
went.
"Haitao. You are too stingy. After all, she is also an international student from China. You should tip more, right?" Ning Mo looked at the girl's back and muttered to Yu Haitao.
Yu Haitao said: "Aren't I afraid that if I give her too much, she will feel embarrassed? How about we give her some more after the meal?"
"It's not easy for these children who come out to study." Qin Hai commented with emotion, "If this girl is more beautiful, she can also come out and carry the dishes. If she is average-looking, she can only wash the dishes in the back. This
In our country, this is something that only logistics aunts can do, right?"
"If Xiaojing goes to study abroad, I will never let her serve the dishes." Ning Mo thought of her sister from the girl, "No matter how much money it costs for her to study, I will give it to her."
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Don't say such things. You are a millionaire now, okay? How many people in China are richer than you? I think the girl just now must come from an ordinary working-class family."
Yes, it’s not easy for her family to support her going to college. The expenses abroad are definitely not something her family can afford. What else can she do if she doesn’t work?”
"Exactly." Yu Haitao agreed, "Let alone a small county like ours, Pingyuan, even an ordinary family in Pujiang City cannot afford to support a child studying abroad."
The dishes they ordered were served soon after, and they were chatting while eating. Two of the three sentences were about the female international student just now. Ning Mo and Yu Haitao both expressed a desire to get some.
Qin Hai thought more about the idea of supporting this beautiful girl with money, wondering whether he could set up a special scholarship in the United States to help similar Chinese students. Of course, the price is what they can do for the Daqin Group in the future.
matter.
While everyone was chatting, a suppressed scream suddenly came from the restaurant, followed by the sound of a piece of tableware falling to the floor, followed by a rude roar. Even with Qin Hai's English proficiency, he could not understand those dirty words.
American slang, you can only hear a lot of curse words such as "*" and "*" mixed in it.
Everyone turned to look and saw a girl running quickly in their direction. Two steps behind her, followed by two strong white men, seemed to want to catch her. Before Qin Hai could react,
, Ning Mo had already stood up and stepped forward to meet the girl, protecting the girl behind her.
Qin Hai and Yu Haitao both recognized that the running girl was the Chinese student who had just ordered for them.
"What's going on?" Qin Hai stood up and asked.
"They...they harassed me." The girl said to Qin Hai and others in a soft voice. Her face no longer had the flowery smile just now, but was replaced by panic and tears.
"Bitch! Pay for my clothes!" One of the two white men who caught up pointed to a little soup stain on his chest and shouted to the girl. He wanted to rush forward and grab the girl, but he was separated by one.
Ning Mo, the girl was protected by Qin Hai and Yu Haitao.
"They were the ones who pulled me first, and their hands were dirty..." The girl explained to Qin Hai and the others in a low voice. At this time, only people from her hometown could give her a sense of security.
It turned out that as early as when the girl ordered food for the two white men, they were flirting with the girl. The girl worked in the restaurant, so this kind of thing was not strange, so she could only pretend not to hear it.
As a result, when the two men saw that the girl was weak, they became more aggressive. When the girl was delivering the meal, one of the white men put his hand on the girl's chest. In panic, the girl overturned the dinner plate and soiled the plate.
White people's clothes.
In this way, the two white men found even more reasons to force the girl to compensate. When the girl saw them touching her, she knew something was wrong, so she ran away quickly and was about to run to the back to find the hotel management to protect herself. Passing by Qin
When Hai and others were sitting at the table, Ningmo stepped forward and protected her.
"Sir, we can compensate you for your clothes. Please don't embarrass this girl." Qin Hai walked up and said to the white man who shouted the loudest.
"Get out of here, Huangpi!" the white man replied viciously.
"What did you say?" Qin Hai was angry. He originally wanted to keep the matter quiet. After all, the matter of harassing female international students could not cause a big fuss. If the other party was willing to take some money and leave, then it would be fine. Who would have thought?
, the other party directly hurt his own nation with just one opening of his mouth, Qin Hai could no longer bow his head.
"I say Huangpi, get out of here!" The white man stretched out his hand and pushed Qin Hai. He felt that he was taller than Qin Hai and others. Chinese people have always been known for being gentle and virtuous. As long as he acted arrogantly, the other party would
He will definitely give in.
Qin Hai was already holding back his anger. If the other party did not take action, he would not be able to take the initiative. Now he saw that the other party reached out to push him, playing into his hands. He took half a step away, stretched out his hand to grab the other party's wrist, and moved forward.
Pulling, the tall white man couldn't stop his feet and fell out. He was throwing himself on a dining table in front of him. All kinds of tableware suddenly rolled all over the floor.
Seeing this, another white man also rushed towards Qin Hai. Ning Mo had been waiting nearby. When he saw the white man rushing towards him, he turned his head, blocked the white man with his back, then hugged the man's neck with his backhand, and bent down
, flipped the man over his head and fell firmly to the ground.
Qin Hai and Ning Mo were both workers, and Ning Mo was a blacksmith, so he had to work hard. Although they were shorter than the two white men, they were better at moving dexterously when they had nothing to do.
, a few of them have also practiced some wild boxing and kicking, and basically they can't suffer any loss when fighting others one on one.
"It's Chinese Kung Fu!" The people eating nearby exclaimed. Some of them didn't mind the excitement and simply clapped. Everyone was also quite concerned about the two white men's teasing of the waitress.
They were disdainful, so when they saw them being knocked down by Qin Hai and Ning Mo with ease, everyone had no sympathy, but felt that the fight was very good-looking.
"What's going on?" A martial arts practice was going on in the restaurant. How could the restaurant manager just sit back and watch. As soon as Qin Hai and the others knocked down the two white men, the manager appeared in time, stared at them and shouted at them. (Unfinished)
