La Spezia is a port city in north-central Italy, the capital of the province of La Spezia, and the main naval base of Italy, but the city area is not large, and the population is not large, only about 95,000, which is equivalent to a town in the developed coastal area of China.La Spezia's train station is not big, Xia Yunjie arrived at the train station at about two o'clock in the afternoon, when he got off the train station, he paid special attention to it, and found that there was a machine like a coin-operated telephone on the side of the platform.Xie Simeng's Chinese restaurant is just a few streets away from the train station, very close.After getting off the train, Xia Yunjie dragged his suitcase and followed Xie Simeng to his Chinese restaurant.As for Scola, Xia Yunjie called him before the train arrived in La Spezia, asking him to come to La Spezia to help Xie Simeng design a set of clothes, of course, the main purpose is to use Scola's celebrity benefits to help Xie Simeng's Chinese restaurant make it famous.Mr.
Xia's summoning is no different from the ancient emperor's decree to the current Scola, not to mention that he should rush to La Spezia immediately, even if he wants to rush to the icy North Pole immediately, he will have to rush immediately.The streets of La Spezia are quiet and clean, with not many pedestrians and not many cars.After walking a few streets, Xia Yunjie walked to Xie's family restaurant.The façade is not big, but it looks refreshing, and it has a very Chinese-style layout, which makes Xia Yunjie feel like he is back in his hometown as soon as he walks to the door.It was already a little past two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were very few people dining.Behind the counter facing the door stood a Chinese woman in her forties, behind which there was a small table and chair, and a little girl was writing Chinese characters to a book.Xia Yunjie knew that this Chinese woman should be Xie Simeng's mother, and that little girl should be his sister.Sure enough, as soon as Xie Simeng walked in the door, he called out to his mother, and the little girl immediately ran out happily, and spread out her little hand at Xie Simeng and said, "Brother, what about the candy" Xie Simeng conjured a lollipop like magic, and the little girl happily took the lollipop, and looked at Xia Yunjie with curiosity while peeling off the package."
This big brother, are you here to eat, welcome."
Peeling off the package, the little girl licked the lollipop while saying to Xia Yunjie in a childish voice, Xia Yunjie couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, touched the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Children, it's amazing to know how to help your parents greet guests at such a young age" "Of course" The little girl raised her chin proudly."
Go, adult's business, what are you little girl involved in, write quickly."
Seeing her daughter's proud look, her mother glared at her, and then smiled apologetically at Xia Yunjie: "Sir, you are also Chinese."
Xiaohui is very excited every time she sees Chinese coming, don't you mind. ”"No, no, Megumi is cute."
Xia Yunjie said with a smile."
Mom, this is Brother Xia Yunjie Xia I met on the train, he hasn't eaten lunch yet, so I invited him to us.Brother Xia, this is my mother, my father should be busy in the kitchen now. ”Xie Simeng helped to introduce."
So you've known each other since the train, so it's no wonder I said how to come in one after the other.Then why don't you take Mr.
Xia to sit down first," Xie Simeng's mother heard this, and then she knew that her son and Xia Yunjie had known each other for a long time.Xie Simeng smiled when he heard this, then took Xia Yunjie to find a window seat and sat down, and ran to get a menu again, and said: "This is our menu, Brother Xia, you take a look first, I'll go to the kitchen to see if my dad needs help" Xia Yunjie nodded with a smile and said, "Go, I'll take a look at the menu first." ”After Xie Simeng left, Xie Simeng's mother specially poured a cup of tea and chatted with Xia Yunjie by the way: "Where is Mr.
Xia from?"
and "From Jiangzhou City, Jiangnan Province, I heard Simeng say that you are from Wenzhou."
You Wenzhou people are really powerful, and you have all come to Italy to do business. ”Xia Yunjie said."
Anything that is powerful or not is forced out by life.When I came out at that time, I didn't know the language, and I was working in the dark, so I was really scared.Now that he has gradually gained a foothold, his life has improved.By the way, you are an international student, and there are many young people like you who take advantage of the summer vacation to travel around every year, and I really envy you, I was not as happy as you at that time. ”Xie Simeng's mother sighed with emotion."
No, I'm already working.Take advantage of the recent time to come out and have fun. ”Xia Yunjie replied half-truthfully."
It's already working, so I can't really see it.You should be older than our family. ”Xie Simeng's mother couldn't help but be a little surprised."
Si Meng is better than me, and he can already help the family now."
Xia Yunjie said with a smile."
Hehe, this child has been more sensible since he was a child, when our career was just starting, he saw that we got up early every day and worked hard in the dark, and he knew to help a little since he was a child.But it's a pity that at that time, we only cared about making money and his studies were wasted, and now he can't even read and write Chinese. ”Seeing Xia Yunjie mention her son, Xie Simeng's mother was full of happiness and guilt."
Actually, it's not too late for Xie Simeng to start learning."
Xia Yunjie said."
It's not too late, but Simeng doesn't want to learn, he would rather help us take care of the store.This kid is like this, he feels sorry for the workers' money, the wages here are much higher than in China, and it is really a big burden for a small shop like ours, with his help, we have saved a lot. ”Xie Simeng's mother said with an ambivalent feeling."
When business gets better, you have to hire someone."
Xia Yunjie said with a smile."
In a small place, business is almost the same, and there are not many foreigners who come to eat Chinese food."
Xie Simeng's mother said."
There should be more in the future."
Xia Yunjie smiled."
Thank you Jiyan, you drink tea first, what do you call me, they are all Chinese, you should be here as your own home."
As he was talking, a foreigner couple walked in, Xie Simeng's mother said hello to Xia Yunjie, and then went to greet the foreigner couple.Xie Simeng's mother didn't know that Xia Yunjie invited a master in the fashion industry to come to their Chinese restaurant for dinner.Drinking tea quietly, echoing in his ears what the proprietress had just said, Xia Yunjie felt warm in his heart.After flipping through the recipes, Xia Yunjie found that in fact, the consumption of small Chinese restaurants is relatively cheaper than Western food, especially if it is a few Chinese with a few dishes together will be more economical and cost-effective, unlike Western food is divided into meals, and one person can only order his own portion.Not long after the proprietress went to greet the guests, Xie Simeng walked over with a middle-aged man in a white chef's suit."
You must be Mr.
Xia that Simeng said, I am Simeng's father Xie Zuohe, you can call me Lao Xie."
Xie Zuohe shook hands with Xia Yunjie warmly."
Hehe, nice to meet.Then I'll call you Lao Xie, and you don't want Mr.
Xia, Mr.
Xia, call me Xiao Xia or Ajie. ”Xia Yunjie said with a smile."
Okay, everyone is Chinese, and La Spezia is a small place, it is still quite difficult to meet Chinese tourists here, so I will not politely call you Xiaoxia."
Xiao Xia, I heard that you are from Jiangzhou City, your taste should be similar to our Wenzhou, not too spicy, the dishes are generally sweeter" Xie Zuohe is a crispy person, and immediately called Xiao Xia."
Yes."
Xia Yunjie nodded."
That's okay, you order a few dishes, I'll cook them for you according to the taste of our Wenzhou people, and the Chinese dishes cooked for foreigners are all slightly modified, which is more suitable for their tastes, not necessarily for you."
Xie Zuohe said.Although it was just a trivial matter, Xia Yunjie still deeply felt the strong Chinese feelings, and couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on making the right decision on the train.Because there was only one person, Xia Yunjie only ordered two dishes and one soup, eleven euros, which was much cheaper than eating authentic Italian food.For a typical Italian meal, the consumption level of one person is more than twenty euros.It was Xie Simeng who served the food, and it was not two dishes and one soup but three dishes and one soup, and a kung pao chicken was added."
This is a gift, foreigners like this dish the most, sweet and sour, you can also try it."
Xie Simeng pointed to the kung pao chicken with diced pineapple and said."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Thank you."
Xia Yunjie thanked happily, and then slowly ate Chinese food alone.Because the time was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the guests slowly left, leaving only the two guests who came with Xia Yunjie at the end.The guests were almost empty, and Xie Zuohe ushered in a rare free time of the day.He deliberately brought another plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and shredded cabbage, and brought two bottles of canned Tsingtao beer, handed Xia Yunjie a bottle and said with a smile: "Let's have a bottle of Chinese beer." ”"Thank you" Xia Yunjie took the beer, then opened it, and the two chatted while drinking: "Will the locals be embarrassed by doing business here?"
"That's okay, it's basically more civilized here."
But we are always outsiders, and it is impossible to say that there is no difference.For example, the local police here especially like to inspect our Chinese shops, as well as the local underworld, and generally come to collect the protection money of our foreigners' shops, and the locals have some strength, they dare not collect them.But overall, it's okay, they don't usually go too far.In fact, it's the same in China, and even miscellaneous inspections are more, and if the incense of that temple is not burned, I'm afraid there will be trouble. ”Xie Zuohe raised his glass and touched Xia Yunjie and said.
