Liang Jian: I have a canteen

The restaurant's dinner was quite plentiful, featuring Western, Japanese, and Chinese dishes.

Similar to cruise ships in later times, it was a buffet style, only the variety was not as abundant as in later times.

After all, resources were scarce in that era, and even wealthy people couldn't necessarily afford to eat much good food.

Xu San asked Lisa, "What do you like to eat?"

“Chinese food!” Little Lisa answered readily, then looked at Xu San, “Japanese food is fine too.”

Xu San gave him a habitual head pat, saying, "You don't need to worry about me, I'm not picky about food."

After saying that, he added, "But I'll choose the chef!"

"Hehehe~~" Little Lisa chuckled, "This is even more serious than picking vegetables; good chefs are hard to come by."

"As long as we can eat our fill, that's fine!" Xu San smiled faintly and led Xiao Lisa into the restaurant.

Elisa and Hans were not in the restaurant, nor was Huanji.

This gave Xu San a strange feeling, as if something was about to happen again.

Conan seems to have a particularly high probability of encountering extraordinary events, at least higher than Xu San.

Um.
Putting all that aside, food is essential for life; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal.

Now the main thing is eating.

I picked out a few slices of char siu and prawns from the food counter.

The char siu was cold, the prawns were cold, and even the rice was cold.

"Sigh~" Xu San sighed helplessly, feeling that this era was still unprofessional. Didn't they know that Chinese food should be served hot?

Holding his tray, Xu San found a corner seat and sat down.

Of course, Lisa sat down with them too.

Xu San took out a bottle of wine, opened it, and a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.

After smelling the aroma of the wine, Lisa sniffed hard. "It smells so good! What kind of wine is this?" As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on the wine jug in Xu San's hand, and she gave him a pitiful look.

Seeing this, Xu San waved his hand and called the waiter to order two wine glasses.

The waiter brought over wine glasses. Xu San poured one ounce for Xiao Lisa and two ounces for himself.

Lisa was a little annoyed when she saw that she only had a little bit of wine.

Xu San could naturally see through her hidden expression. "This liquor is high-proof."

Lisa hadn't been in China for long and didn't know much about strong liquor, so Xu San added, "It's about the same as vodka."

"Oh~" This time Lisa understood, so she took a small sip.

Then a spicy sensation filled my mouth.

Little Lisa frowned deeply, "So spicy~"

"That's how Chinese wine is," Xu San said without offering further explanation.

Actually, Chinese baijiu has a rather spicy taste, which is generally difficult for Europeans and Americans to accept the first time they drink it.

Even vodka, known as the "water of life," has a slightly sweet taste even at over 70 degrees.

"Here, have some food!" Xu San chuckled as he picked up a salted shrimp from Lisa's face, whose expression was contorted.

Lisa took a bite of shrimp and felt much better, then looked at her bottle of white wine with some worry.

"If you can't drink it, don't force yourself. We have red wine and brandy here, and they're free."

Lisa picked up her glass again, took a small sip, and said, "No need!"

Seeing Lisa's defiant attitude, Xu San smiled faintly and continued eating.

Perhaps unwilling to endure further torment, after taking two sips, Lisa finally gritted her teeth and, with a burst of strength, downed the rest of the liquor in one gulp. (End of Chapter)
