After solving the problem that had troubled him for a long time, it happened that the wine cellar had changed the barrels, so Xiao Yifei fulfilled his promise and invited them to have a sumptuous Chinese meal.

Someone once said that wherever there are Chinese people, there are Chinese restaurants, and the first half of the sentence is that where there are people, there are Chinese restaurants. Together, there are Chinese restaurants in places where there are people. Of course, this sentence is definitely too exaggerated, but in the United States, as long as there are larger cities, there are indeed Chinese restaurants.

According to statistics, there are more than 40,000 Chinese restaurants in the United States. As we all know, KFC has less than 5,000 stores in the United States, and McDonald's has more, about 14,000. That is, the two companies are only half of the number of Chinese restaurants. It can be seen from the number of restaurants that Chinese food is basically an important part of Americans' daily diet.

Although Calistoga is a small town with a population of 5,000, it is also the best hot spring town in Northern California, and it is also located in the tourist resort of Napa wine country, so it is normal to have Chinese restaurants here. Xiao Yifei also found this Chinese restaurant called "Sooyuan" shortly after he arrived in Calistoga. It is impossible to find it. In the signs full of letters, two big Chinese characters can be seen from a distance.

Fortunately, I made a reservation in advance. After passing through the four or five diners lined up at the door, Xiao Yifei and the others entered Suyuan.

"Old Mr. Tian, ​​I'm here to trouble you again."

"Where? Boss Xiao is taking care of my business. Welcome, please come inside."

The owner of Suyuan, Lao Tian, ​​is a good man. He is a first-generation immigrant in his 60s. He has been working hard in the United States for more than 30 years. In addition to this restaurant, he also opened a Golden Dragon Hotel in the capital. Currently, his daughter is in charge of it. Old Man Tian and his wife are still guarding this Suyuan. It is strange that the owner of Tian’s surname is Tian, ​​but he is not from Suzhou. I don’t know why this restaurant is called “Su Yuan”.

"Or the old rules?"

The old rules Lao Tian said were to have authentic Chinese flavor, rather than improved sour and sweetness that suits the American appetite. Xiao Yifei glanced at Martin and the others.

"Forget it, let's just put them."

"Okay, I'll give you a Sichuan cuisine, what do you think?"

"Okay, you'll just arrange it."

After the dishes are served, everyone starts together. Chinese food can be popular in the United States. In addition to the appropriate price, the taste is also very important. Although it has been localized and improved, the taste is still very good, and everyone is having a lot of fun. At this time, the dubbing should be accompanied by the crosstalk that is often said in the crosstalk, "Shake off your cheeks and lift your back teeth. The food is like the flowing water of the Yangtze River, like the wind sweeping the broken clouds, just like pouring a dirt box."

Some people say that foreigners don’t know how to use chopsticks. Actually, this may have been correct before, but as Chinese food becomes more and more popular, many people in the United States can use it skillfully. Although these people in front of them are not skilled, they also use it in a decent manner, so there will be no strange things like chopsticks with one hand and one hand. Of course, this is only limited to picking up dishes with appropriate hardness. If you really serve them with Mapo tofu, it will probably be quite difficult for them. And if you serve a dish like fried beans, they will probably want a spoon.

In front of Xiao Yifei was a Sichuan dish made by Mr. Tian himself, a Sichuan pepper-dried pork. It was very inconsistent with the American dietary habits. It looked a lot of oil, and large pieces of fat and green pepper were soaked in half a plate of oil. Therefore, these guys didn't touch this dish, and Xiao Yifei also enjoyed this delicacy exclusively.

Martin looked at Xiao Yifei curiously with chopsticks and chopsticks of oily fat and peppers:

"Xiao, what kind of dish is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

Nonsense, of course you have never seen it. There is no dish on the menu. This is the home dish of Boss Tian. Ordinary customers come to Mr. Tian and Mr. Tian will not cook.

Xiao Yifei didn’t know how to translate the refried pork, so he could only say according to the ingredients:

"This is chili and meat slices, and it is one of the most famous dishes among Sichuan cuisine, a branch of Chinese cuisine."

Martin stretched out his chopsticks curiously:

"Really? Then I'll try it."

But his chopsticks turned halfway, gave up the fat meat and picked up the peppers. Xiao Yifei did not remind him, and sincerely wanted to see him being so cute. Who knew that this guy swallowed the peppers but nothing happened.

"It seems to be OK, I'm trying it."

Finally, he picked up a piece of fat meat and knocked it in the small bowl in front of him again and again. After confirming that there was no oil attached to it, he put it into his mouth.

He frowned and chewed a few times, spread his eyebrows, swallowed it, and gave Xiao Yifei a thumbs up:

"Yeah, it's delicious."

When the other people saw that he said it was delicious, they all attacked the dish one after another. In a blink of an eye, the plate was almost over. Xiao Yifei asked curiously:

"Why aren't you afraid of spicy food?"

To be honest, Xiao Yifei, an Anhui person, thinks this dish is a bit spicy, but who knows that this American Martin is not afraid.

"Is this very spicy?"

"Isn't it spicy?"

"It's not spicy, it's not as spicy as Mexican food."

Several others also said:

"Yes, I tell you, I ate a hamburger in Napa that time, and it felt like I was sweating all over after half of my meal."

Xiao Yifei could only admit that he forgot that California is a melting pot of nations in the world, and California is a place where many Mexican immigrants are. Mexicans are also recognized as a nation that can eat spicy food, and there are many Mexican restaurants here. These Californians have naturally eaten Mexican cuisine, so it is normal to be accustomed to spicy food.

Thank you for so many days, you can finally have a delicious meal, and the boss treats you again, which makes everyone very happy. After the meal, these guys insisted on going to the bar to sit, and Xiao Yifei generously invited them to have a drink. It was already midnight when he got home.

The next day, Greg found Xiao Yifei, and it turned out that the design drawing of the Visitor Center was released. If you didn’t say anything, please call everyone to have a meeting to take a look.

This design company is very responsible, afraid that everyone will not understand the design drawings, ppts, and renderings. Barabala talked about it for an hour, and most of the time it was bragging about how environmentally friendly and safe his design was. After reading it, everyone thought this thing was pretty good, especially the top of the tasting room was laid with large areas of solar panels. The summer and autumn seasons of winery tourists are numerous, which happens to be a season when California is full of sunshine and rainy. These solar energy is enough to ensure the power supply of all facilities in the entire visitor center.

Although the cost is as high as 3 million, seeing that everyone thought it was good, Xiao Yifei decided to make the design plan. The following is to give this design drawing to Kalistoga Town. After they agreed, they would back up one for Napa County and then start construction.

The plan was just confirmed in the morning, and in the afternoon, Bo found Xiao Yifei.

"Xiao, someone wants to ask you to play golf tomorrow morning."

Xiao Yifei was puzzled at the time. There was an 18-hole golf course in Kalistoga town. He had been here for so long but only saw it while driving by. He had never been in and could not play at all. He was curious who could actually think of asking him to play ball:

"Who?"

"Let me tell you clearly. He is a construction company owner. He wants to talk to you about the construction of the visitor center."

Xiao Yifei understood that this construction company must have wanted to undertake the project of the Visitor Center. After seeing what this company has to do with Bo, the finalization of the Visitor Center design should have been revealed to them by Bo, otherwise the time would not have been so good.

"Bo, this matter is a bit difficult. The design draft is handed over to the town. I don't know when the town council will approve it."

"Xiao, don't think I have anything to do with them. It's just that I have worked with them many times and think they are more suitable in all aspects, so I told them the news. You don't have to consider my face."

Xiao Yifei nodded and believed his words for the time being.

"I won't go to play basketball anymore, and I don't know that thing. After the design is approved, they will just need to provide a cost sheet."

"You should tell them the news yourself when playing."

Bo's words to avoid suspicion made Xiao Yifei feel a little relieved.

"Besides, golf is difficult, just learn it if you don't know. It is also a very popular sport here. Many people will learn it and it will also be beneficial for you to discuss business with others in the future."

Xiao Yifei also found that golf is very common in the United States, "Okay, then I'll go, you have to teach me then."
