Looking at the white rice in front of her and the three dishes and one soup on the table, Lucy didn't know where to start eating.
“Eat, what are you waiting for? By the way, you know how to use chopsticks, right?” Seeing Lucy not picking up her chopsticks for a long time, Jiang Heng suddenly realized a serious problem, that is, whether Lucy knew how to use chopsticks.
After all, this is Night City, a city in North America.
However, Lucy's answer immediately put Jiang Heng at ease.
“Of course I do, you forgot where we are? This is Chinatown, I've eaten a lot of things here, I've already learned how to use chopsticks.” Lucy said.
“That's good.”
Night City, although a North American city, is a typical immigrant city that has almost all nationalities.
For example, the Chinatown in Watson District, which is home to a large number of Chinese people, and to the north of Watson District is the Kabuki District, which also has many Chinese people, as well as some Japanese people.
North of Watson District, Westbrook has an area called Neon Street, which is the stronghold of Japanese immigrants, just like Chinatown in Watson District.
Night City is a city of immigrants. Many different ethnicities have gathered here, and these ethnicities have also brought their own cultures and customs.
...
“Come, try this spicy chicken, it's my specialty!” Seeing Lucy not picking up her chopsticks, Jiang Heng took the initiative to pick up a piece of chicken for her.
“Okay, okay.” Lucy no longer hesitated, and used chopsticks to pick up the chicken and put it in her mouth.
In an instant, the spiciness and aroma of the chicken bloomed on her tongue. The flavor and texture were a hundred times better than the synthetic meat she had eaten on the streets!
Actually, Jiang Heng's cooking skills weren't that good, just ordinary home-cooked meals, but this world's food was really bad. At this moment, Lucy was like Liu Laolai entering the Grand View Garden, not an exaggeration at all.
“Wow, it’s so good, although it’s a bit spicy, it’s still so delicious!”
Lucy was immediately conquered by authentic Dragon Country cuisine.
Sichuan cuisine is mainly characterized by its spiciness and numbness. Both numbness and spiciness are the best ways to stimulate taste buds and have the effect of opening up the appetite.
“Ha~Sisi~” Lucy, who doesn’t usually eat spicy food, tasted the spicy chicken for the first time, and couldn't help but want more, even though it was very spicy.
Seeing this, Jiang Heng couldn't help but smile, then he thoughtfully served her a bowl of pork rib soup.
“Come and have a sip of soup to relieve the spiciness.”
“Oh, okay, sissi~"
Lucy's appearance reminded Jiang Heng of one of his college roommates.
Jiang Heng’s university was in Fucheng, Bashu. Most of the students were from Bashu, and in Jiang Heng’s dormitory there were three people from Bashu and one from Donglu.
When that Donglu roommate first arrived in Bashu, he was taken by Jiang Heng and the other three to eat dry pot, a particularly spicy kind. The Donglu roommate, who didn’t eat spicy food often, ate a meal sweating profusely, but his hands couldn’t stop, it was quite funny.
Of course, the highlight was the next day, when the roommate got up in the morning and went to the bathroom, he let out a miserable cry. At that time, Jiang Heng and the other three almost burst out laughing.
At this moment, looking at Lucy eating while panting, Jiang Heng could only silently pray that Lucy wouldn't feel unwell tomorrow.
Of course, it was just spicy chicken, the spiciness wasn’t actually that obvious, it shouldn't make her suffer.
...
After eating and drinking enough, Lucy slumped on the sofa and didn't want to move, because she was full!
Three dishes and one soup was quite a lot for two people, and Jiang Heng made a lot of each dish. Most of the dishes went into Lucy's stomach. Most importantly, this little girl ate three bowls of rice. There was no way, Sichuan cuisine was just too good with rice!
Under these circumstances, it would be strange if Lucy wasn't full.
“Ah~I’m so full!”
Sitting on the sofa, Lucy still felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She ate too much!
This was the first time she tasted authentic Dragon Country cuisine, and it was spicy Sichuan cuisine, which was really good with rice. Lucy couldn’t resist it.
Jiang Heng threw the empty plates and chopsticks into the automatic dishwasher.
“Advanced technology is good, you don't need to wash dishes yourself.” Jiang Heng couldn't help but sigh. The thing he hated most was washing dishes.
This world's technology was so advanced, even dishwashers were better than those in his previous world.
Jiang Heng could actually buy a household robot, artificial intelligence in this world is already very mature, household robots can help Jiang Heng clean up the house.
...
“How was it, were you satisfied with the food?” Jiang Heng sat next to Lucy and asked deliberately.
“Well, so-so.” The Lucy who just exclaimed how delicious it was became arrogant again.
“So Lucy, beautiful, are you considering teaming up with me?”
“Well, I can, but you have to promise me one condition.”
Jiang Heng: “What condition?”
“How about you take care of the team’s meals?” The little fox showed her tail.
“Cut~” Jiang Heng immediately rolled his eyes at her, but still said, “Taking care of meals is fine, but we’ll split the cost of buying ingredients.”
It’s not that Jiang Heng was being stingy, but fresh ingredients were too rare in Night City.
“No problem!” Lucy agreed without hesitation.
Thinking about having such delicious food every day, the smile on Lucy's face couldn't be suppressed.
As for Jiang Heng, he actually felt pretty good about it. As a Dragon Country person, he always hoped that his dinner table would be lively. It’s always better to eat with more people, your appetite is also better.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the people eating together are familiar with each other. If you eat with unfamiliar people, you will feel more restrained.
But no matter what, Jiang Heng and Lucy's two-person team had officially formed.
