Chapter 91 Home Cooking
"I left and I'm back. Boy..."
"Adam, you can call me Adam." Nanyi said.
"OK, Adam, where are you going?" Scarlett spread her hands and said.
"Go home, how about you? To our school?"
Scarlett shrugged and said, "No, I was just taking a walk. I don't know why I came here."
"Oh, it's dinner time, have you eaten yet?"
"No."
"So, do you want to go together?"
"You want to invite me to dinner?"
"It's not." Nanyi smiled charmingly, "I mean, I'll eat it, look, I'll let you smell it."
"Aha, you are such an interesting person." Scarlett laughed.
"Just a joke, if you don't mind, I officially invite you to dinner. Doll [beauty], may I invite you to dinner?"
"Sure!"
"OK, let's go."
Nan Yi led Scarlett to the old bungalow, and the passers-by on the road all paid attention to them, vying to see the Western view.
There are already quite a few foreigners in the capital, and most of the people in the capital have seen them.
But they rarely see a foreign woman walking alone with a domestic man, talking and laughing while watching.
"You come back this time, is there another interview mission?"
"No, NBC is going to set 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 very good. We are peaceful here, there is no war, and the people are very hospitable and hospitable; there are also a lot of 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 too many delicacies here. In two years, I will eat all of your delicacies." Scarlett said excitedly.
"That's good. Otherwise, I'll cook you Western food. I really don't have any ingredients for Western food. At most, I can make you an unauthentic salad."
"Have you eaten Western food?"
"I have eaten, there is an old Mo in the capital, do you know?"
"I know. Your foreign affairs personnel told me that I have been there, but it is not to my liking. It is the Russian style of Soviet revisionism."
"Hmm, I have a question to ask you, I don't know if it's too presumptuous."
"Ask whatever you want."
"I can see that you must be of Irish and Dutch blood, and probably Prussian, am I right?"
Scarlett smiled and said, "You're right. Not only do I have the three bloodlines you mentioned, I also have Jewish and Caucasian bloodlines, and one-sixth bloodlines are the same as yours."
"Let me just say, your facial features are not as three-dimensional as ordinary Westerners, and you also have a little bit of Eastern charm."
"So, how did you see that I have multiple bloodlines in me?"
"This is my secret, a man's secret." Nan Yi said with a mysterious smile.
He is not very polite about this question, he might as well pretend to be mysterious.
"Wow, it turned out to be someone 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 some other day, and we can exchange secrets there." Scarlett said, throwing a wink that wasn't really a wink at Nan Yi.
"I am looking forward."
After walking for five or six minutes, the two arrived at Nanyi's old bungalow.
"This is my house."
Scarlett stood outside the courtyard gate and looked at the old bungalow for a while, "It's very beautiful."
"Thank you, please come in."
Nan Yi welcomed Scarlett into the living room and invited her to sit down, "Coffee or tea? I have Italian and American coffee here, and green tea is the only tea."
"Italian."
"Hold on."
Nanyi ran to Lai Biao's room before, and found out all the guys who drank his coffee.
Lai Biao likes to drink coffee, and there are channels to get good coffee.
In twenty minutes, Nanyi made two cups of freshly ground espresso, handed one to Scarlett, sat opposite her, picked up the sugar cube on the table, "Do you want to add sugar?"
"Half, thank you."
Nan Yi took out a candy from the sugar box, cut it in half with a knife, gave half to Scarlett, and put the half back into the sugar box.
Nanyi usually doesn't drink coffee, unless he stays up late, in order to refresh himself, naturally the more bitter the better.
Take a sip, the coffee is good!
It was the first time for Nanyi to drink Lai Biao's coffee. Now he is young, full of energy, and strong in firepower, and he doesn't need to drink 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 in satisfaction.
"Really? It shouldn't be, you live in a hotel related to foreign affairs, haven't you seen it there?"
"No, the coffee drinkers I've met can only say that they can afford coffee, not 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 take spicy food very well."
"OK, then sit down for a while. If you're hungry, you can have some biscuits first." Nan Yi pointed to the biscuit tin on the table, then stood up and walked into the yard.
Kicked off the sealed door of the coal stove in a corner of the yard, sat on the kettle, walked to the side, opened the door of a wooden cabinet, and revealed two refrigerators inside.
Nanyi had to put a disguise on the refrigerator, the refrigerator was too eye-catching, let alone two.
There are 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, and tomatoes are used for scrambled eggs as toppings, so you can count as a staple food.
Nanyi made a good deal of the dishes, washed and cut the dishes that should be washed.
"Do you need help?"
Scarlett took the coffee and walked to Nanyi.
"Can you cook Chinese food?"
"Won't."
"That's nothing you can help, just wait and eat."
"That's a real pity."
Scarlett shrugged. She just said to help, but in fact she didn't have much sincerity. This is a polite saying she learned after arriving in the capital.
Nanyi was busy there, and Scarlett stood by and watched. It wasn't until Nanyi finished all the dishes that she followed Nanyi back to the living room.
"Do you need a spoon and fork?"
"No, I can use chopsticks. I often order fried noodles from Chinese restaurants."
As she said that, Scarlett picked up a chopstick of pickled beef with her chopsticks. Not to mention, the posture is a bit awkward, but the grip is very stable.
"Nice!" After taking a sip, Scarlett praised: "It's different from what I ate in New York and your restaurants here. It has a very unique taste."
"The taste of home, we call it the taste of home cooking, the taste of mother."
"I can understand the smell of home, but the smell of mother, what does this mean?"
