"Have you ever eaten dumplings?"
When I placed the two plates of boiled dumplings on the table, Ai Mi had already drunk more than half of her coke and there weren't many octopus balls left either.
"What's so great about dumplings!" Ai Mi said disdainfully, "There are a lot of dumplings in American supermarkets. Otakus all use them as a substitute for instant noodles. Not only that, but 'dumplings' are also called 'jiaozi' in America!"
Although she said that, Ai Mi still used the bamboo skewer of the octopus balls to pick up a small dumpling. She first blew on it, then she took three bites before eating it.
Based on her expression, she seemed to have a good reaction to the shrimp dumplings.
"Eh? You don't know how to use chopsticks? "
I disapproved of Ai Mi repeatedly using the bamboo skewer to poke the dumplings. A lot of the dumplings were poked until the intestines flowed out, and she gave up on the dumplings that she couldn't pick up.
"What makes you think I know how to use chopsticks?" Ai Mi said while poking a few dumplings to express her dissatisfaction, "I really don't understand the people of the Celestial Empire. You invented thousands of types of food, but you only have two wooden sticks as utensils! Isn't that giving people from other countries a hard time! Ah — — I understand!! "
Ai Mi slapped the table in enlightenment. Even Sakyamuni's joy of becoming a Buddha might not be as sincere as hers.
"— — I understand! The ancestors of the Celestial Empire must have been very stingy! "
"Why do you think so?" The dumpling I was holding suddenly stopped in midair.
"How stupid! Think about it! The people of the Celestial Empire make so many delicious things, but only provide utensils that are difficult to use. They definitely hope that guests from afar can only watch the food without being able to eat it because the utensils aren't convenient to use! Even if they try their best, foreigners who aren't used to chopsticks would only be able to eat very little! "
Eh? That's a very novel theory, but Ai Mi, aren't you thinking too badly of the ancient gentlemen of the Celestial Empire! Don't forget that you also have the same bad blood flowing in your veins!
"Hmm …" Ai Mi held her chin and posed like a famous detective, "All the clues are connected, then the truth is revealed! Your Confucius once said, "Isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar?" The real meaning of this sentence was this: Confucius saw that the visiting foreigner did not know how to use chopsticks and could not eat the delicious food in front of him, so he covered his mouth and made fun of him!! What an evil Confucius!! "
That's enough! Not only did they discredit the ancients of the Celestial Empire, but they also did not let Confucius off! Apologize to me! At least apologize to the delicacies you are currently eating!
Ai Mi was full after she ate 1/3 of the dumplings on her plate and punctured the rest.
She pushed the box of octopus balls next to my hand and coldly said, "We didn't finish this. Give the rest to the manservant!"
I looked around. There was only one octopus ball left in the corner of the carton.
"There's only one left. Looks like you like it a lot."
I reached out to pinch the bamboo skewer on the octopus balls, but Ai Mi looked at me with a malicious smile:
"Not one, it's half a pill! I only realized I couldn't eat anymore after I ate half of it … "
I picked up the octopus balls and found that there was already a small bite that looked like the Apple logo.
Ai Mi wanted me to eat the octopus balls that she bit off as a prank to see how I would react. But recently, my dad has been talking about the miserable situation of the North Koreans who don't have enough to eat, so I started to treasure food more and more.
So I didn't think too much about it and ate the half of the octopus ball without hesitation.
Ai Mi showed a surprised and slightly disgusted expression.
"Hey! Why are you eating something that someone else bit off! How unhygienic! If you have such a bad habit, what if you get sick from eating something unclean, who's going to work for me! "
I slowly ate the octopus ball, then I answered her unhurriedly:
"It doesn't matter, I don't eat anyone's leftovers. In short, the ancients said: Who would know that every grain of food on the plate is bitter. — — It's not good to waste food, I don't think you're dirty … "
"How rude! A mere manservant dares to say the master's saliva is dirty? " Ai Mi had an offended expression on her face, "Even if you don't have a master-servant relationship, you're a barbarian whose appearance is unworthy of the audience, how dare you say a beautiful girl's saliva is dirty! Hmph, one day I'll make you drink my saliva willingly! "
I ignored Ai Mi's unreasonable tantrum and cleaned up the remaining dumplings on her plate.
"You can really eat."
After leaving the dining area, Ai Mi stared at my belly that didn't bulge and revealed a disdainful expression, "You're clearly a pig with that kind of appetite!"
Hey, did you ask about my religion? You're calling me a pig, be careful that I don't become Bajie and blow up the White House with explosives! Also, from a genetic point of view, it's not worth it to call me a pig — — if I'm a pig bro, then you're a pig bro!
Ai Mi emptied the bottle of cola in her hand after taking a few steps. I was worried about how I would reject her if she asked for more, but I never expected her eyes to light up and she saw the DQ ice cream shop opposite the escalator.
"Eh? The Celestial Empire also has a branch of Dairy Queen (Snow Queen)! Manservant, go buy me a waffle cone! "
Oh, so DQ is the abbreviation for "Dairy Queen"? I always thought DQ was referring to the Japanese game "Brave Versus Evil Dragon"! No wonder the DQ ice cream shop doesn't sell slime ice cream cones! When I was in elementary school, I even asked the staff for one! At the time, the staff looked at me as if I was Piccolo, now that I think about it, it's so embarrassing …
I handed the waffle cone with three ice cream balls to Ai Mi, and she received it proudly. She has been bossing me around since we met, and she didn't complain at all, which made her feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Hmph, my loyalty is about 50% …"
Ai Mi muttered to herself at a volume that she thought I couldn't hear.
Seeing that I didn't buy ice cream for myself, Ai Mi asked strangely:
"Manservant, you don't like it? It's very sweet! "
It's not that I don't want to eat it, but I was too full from the previous meal, and I would get a stomachache if I had another ice cream. If it's only one ice cream ball …
Ai Mi seemed to have guessed my thoughts, and she raised the waffle cone as high as possible. She was clearly shorter than me by 30 centimeters, but she spoke in a superior tone:
"I can't help it, you look like a refugee, so I'll give you one ice cream ball!"
"But …" She added with a naughty smile, "I've already licked two of the three balls, you can pick the one that hasn't been licked yet!"
As she spoke, she playfully played some background music for us.
"Bang bang bang bang bang …"
What are you trying to do with such a tense background music? It's just eating ice cream, do you think we're playing Russian roulette!
I didn't even jump and directly bit the ice cream ball that was facing me. Ai Mi was caught off guard and the dubbing abruptly stopped.
"What a big mouth." Ai Mi commented as she licked the remaining two balls, "Are you a hippopotamus?"
Since I ate the ice cream in a hurry, my nasal cavity felt numb and I couldn't speak for a while. I could only silently accept whether I was called a hippopotamus or a hippopotamus.
Unknowingly, he and Ai Mi walked to the game center on the same floor. Through a layer of glass, they could see groups of three to five young people happily playing games inside.
Amy glanced over the top of the ice cream ball, and said in a disinterested tone, "That's right.
"How backward, these are all outdated machines. These games have long since been eliminated in America."
"But … let's just think of it as nostalgia!"
Ai Mi strutted in without discussing it with me.
