Chapter 6 Chinatown

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Rui Nina is already 6 years old. Many things happened in these 3 years, such as Paul and Emily got married and gave birth to a little boy, and the Joneses also got to know the whole world under the leadership of Paul. In the Muggle world, many of the books in the Jones family's study are bought from the Muggle world
And Nina also began to put her food plan on the agenda.
On this day, Nina went to Grandma Sansa's house after her parents went to work
"Grandma, where are we going to play today?" Nina ran to the chair at the dining table, propped her head and asked the busy Sansa

"Little clever ghost, what are you planning today? I don't know you yet, but if you act coquettishly, something will definitely happen." Sansa guessed without looking back that the little clever head wanted to ask her for something.
"Grandma is so smart. When we went to a Muggle Western restaurant last time, didn't we meet two foreigners with yellow skin? I heard that there is a place in London where people with yellow skin like them live there. people"

"Really? That's quite interesting. I know they are from the East, and I don't know which country they are from. Since we have never been there, let's go there today and have a look."

Nina's eyes were full of sly smiles, and she successfully convinced Sansa that she would definitely make Sansa fall in love with the place there.
(London’s Chinese community emerged in the 19th century and was initially concentrated in the Eastern Dockyard District, with only a few dilapidated shops at that time. From the 20s, it gradually moved to the SOHO district in the city center. In 50, the London government officially recognized "London Chinatown" is the Chinatown community)
In fact, at the beginning, Nina was not sure whether there was a Chinatown in Britain at this time. When Sansa took her to watch a movie and ate in a Western restaurant, she heard the familiar language coming from behind him. Nina really She was so excited that she couldn't help but greet them when Sansa went to the bathroom. From their mouths, she learned the existence and address of Chinatown.
Then we decided on this trip.Nina decided to make the people around her familiar with Chinese food first. After all, food is the culture of a country. It is also a big challenge to accept another culture and eat things they have never tried, let alone the closed wizarding world. I've probably never seen it before
Chinatown in London is not big. It consists of a main street and several side streets. There are standard Chinese-style archways and Han-style Tang rhyme-style business pavilions.On both sides of the 800-meter-long main street stands an archway with the words "Guotai Min'an" and "London Huafu".

The restaurants, shopping malls, and pharmacies on both sides of the street are all hung with conspicuous Chinese characters.Due to language and history, Chinatown has become a cultural island independent of British society

Although Chinatown in London is not big, it is exquisite, like a plate of dishes with simple materials, and the taste is all in the main street and several side streets that criss-cross.

Nina's eyes are very sore. Seeing this, she seems to have returned to her hometown and traveled back. The Joneses treated her very well, but Nina still misses her hometown very much. root
And Sansa was shocked, it was like another world, Sansa wondered if she was still in London now, there were things she had never seen everywhere, different characters, different languages, different The skin made her a little overwhelmed, and she was even more curious about it
Nina looked at Sansa's expression and smiled secretly. She took Sansa's hand and walked forward. At this time, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy came towards them.
"Do you need any help?" The boy said in English proficiently

"We don't know anything about this place, can you introduce it to us?" Nina said with a smile.
"Of course, please follow me" the boy said and walked forward
The boy took Nina and Sansa around the entire Chinatown, introduced them to the history of Chinatown in detail, and also told them many Chinese stories. Sansa was fascinated by what she heard and marveled at the cultural charm of the Chinese nation.
When they moved to a Chinese restaurant down the street, Nina's eyes lit up. Her destination was reached.

"Grandma, it's already noon, I'm hungry, let's eat in this restaurant. It's just a chance to taste the difference between oriental food and ours. I smell the smell coming out of this restaurant. Woolen cloth"

"Then let's eat here at noon today, young man, you can come too, just to tell us what's delicious here." Sansa said as she walked towards the restaurant

"Uncle Li, I brought two foreigners to bring you the menu. You have to greet these two guests well and take care of them. Maybe they will be repeat customers in the future," the young man said to the middle-aged man behind the cashier.

"Oh, this is a rare visitor. In our area, we can still attract British people, so we have to treat him well. Xiaoyi, your Uncle Li doesn't speak English, so you have to help him introduce him well." As he said, The young man took out the menu and handed it to Xiaoyi

"Don't worry, Uncle Li. With your craftsmanship, no one in our street would give a thumbs up. Please do me a favor." After saying that, he brought the menu to our seat.
"This is the menu in the store. It's all in Chinese. I'll read it to you. If you see which dish you're interested in, I'll introduce it to you." After that, he reported all the dishes

Fish-flavored shredded pork, Kung Pao chicken, farm-style stir-fried pork, boiled pork slices... are all well-known home-cooked dishes in China

According to our taste, Xiaoyi helped us order boiled pork slices, fish-flavored shredded pork, rotten peppers and boiled kale, and finally ordered a dessert of fried fresh milk and two bowls of rice
The food came out soon, and since Sansa and I "can't use" chopsticks, Xiaoyi went out to help us buy forks and spoons for us to eat

Sansa looked at the strange food in front of her and couldn't figure out what to do. The two of them looked at Xiaoyi eagerly. Fortunately, the young man understood our embarrassment and put down his chopsticks to demonstrate for us
I saw him pick up a chopsticks of shredded fish-flavored pork with chopsticks, put it on the rice, and put it into his mouth together with the rice

Smelling the aroma of the food in front of us, we swallowed.Sansa clumsily picked up the vegetables with a fork and ate them with the rice, imitating Xiao Yi's example.
Nina observed Sansa's expression and saw her face change from surprise to enjoyment, and she felt relieved. Sansa thought that Nina was afraid that the food would not taste good, so she picked a forkful for Nina. Clumsily, she learned to use a fork to take a bite of the boiled pork slices. The familiar taste of her hometown nearly made Nina cry. Xiaoyi thought her eyes were red from the heat, so he poured her a glass of water.
"Sansa, this is so delicious. Oh my gosh, I'm in love with this dish." As she spoke, her fork kept reaching for other dishes on the table, and Sansa nodded and also attacked the food.
Xiaoyi secretly gave a thumbs up to Uncle Li who was observing the situation, and Uncle Li smiled triumphantly
After drinking and eating, Sansa and I leaned on the chairs feeling our stomachs. We couldn't walk anymore, so we could only rest.
Nina was even happier. Her plan was a success. She had successfully made Sansa fall in love with Chinese food.
