Next to him, a young Chinese man who should be a waiter smiled and said, "Of course, it's still Cobra."
Jeff looked horrified: "What?"
Luke took another sip.
Fortunately, Tim was clearly not that exaggerated. This wine was just normal snake wine, without any drugs added.
He smiled and said, "It's no problem. Drinking a little snake wine occasionally is good for men."
Tim, Jeff: …
“You are all middle-aged men with wives, you should really need this.” Luke winked.
Jeff was too honest and a little confused.
Tim looked confused: "Does it have this effect?" He looked at the young Chinese man next to him.
The young Chinese man's eyes lit up: "You know?"
Luke smiled and said, "I know. But don't you have the legendary Five Poison Wine?"
The young man was stunned: "What?"
"Snakes, centipedes, scorpions, spiders, and geckos." Luke said with a smile.
Every time he said a word, the faces of the three people beside him turned paler.
By the time he finished speaking, Jeff was already vomiting.
Tim's face didn't look good either, but he could still endure it.
The young Chinese man was shocked: "You know this too?"
This is something that only exists in martial arts novels. How did this young American know about it
The Five Poison Wine in reality is not reliable. After all, putting so many poisonous things in at once is not as easy as putting just a snake in.
He doesn't want people drinking to death in his restaurant.
Luke looked at the expressions of the three people and suddenly smiled: "I also saw it mentioned in a kung fu movie. There should be no such wine in reality. It's just a joke, don't mind it!"
All three of them felt relieved.
If this kind of wine really existed, Tim wouldn't want to drink it, and Jeff would definitely not drink it.
The young Chinese man felt like he had met a god and immediately left to get the ingredients.
A moment later, the young man came back with a black thing.
Luke was not surprised.
He had a keen sense of smell and knew what was being sold here.
Jeff took another sip of wine, and when he turned his head, he saw what the young man was holding. He was so scared that he stood up and ran a few meters away: "Oh my God, this, this, is this a live snake?"
Luke laughed in his heart: It’s a Guangdong characteristic, what’s so strange about it
At this moment, another young man passed by Jeff, holding a plate of... rats.
Of course, it’s not the kind that’s just fished out of the sewer, but the raw material for another legendary famous dish, “Three-Screaming Rat”.
Jeff's eyes widened: "This, this, can be eaten?"
Luke waved his hand: "Jeff, there are many people in this world who dare to eat everything. If you don't like it, just don't order it." His eyes fell on the little mouse on the plate.
Jeff shook his head repeatedly: "I don't want this, absolutely not."
Luke chuckled and looked at the snake in the hands of the young man next to him: "You can actually try this. Snake meat tastes very good, and many people eat it."
Jeff swallowed, "Really?"
Luke nodded: "Really."
Then he asked the young man next to him: "Will this snake be eaten raw?"
Young Chinese people: “You can eat it raw or cook it in soup.”
Luke decisively decided: "Make soup."
Snakes have parasites on their bodies. It is very easy to get infected with these things if you eat them raw, and they can be fatal.
Jeff finally shrank back into his seat, looking at the snake in the young man's hand with lingering fear.
Another young man pushed over a small cart with a chopping board on it.
The young Chinese man who held the snake took the kitchen knife from the chopping board and started cutting.
duang!
The snake's head was chopped off and it was wriggling on the chopping board with its mouth wide open.
Jeff grunted and swallowed.
Luke smiled and said, "Don't worry, the snake's fangs have been pulled out, it can't bite you."
If the fangs are not removed, the snake's head can still bite people and inject venom long after it is cut off. Chefs being bitten to death in this way are not uncommon in China.
Jeff felt relieved and couldn't help but pour another glass of snake wine to calm his nerves.
Tim filled his glass again.
Then, the three of them started drinking, one cup at a time.
Moreover, this restaurant even serves snakes, which is a typical Guangdong specialty.
Luke relies on his strong appetite and big features.
Get a portion of satay beef, Teochew beef balls, sweet and sour pork with pineapple, braised pork with preserved vegetables, stir-fried beef noodles, braised sea cucumber with abalone sauce, and blanched geoduck.
Seeing Tim's stunned expression, Luke smiled brightly: "I like Chinese food very much. Well, Chinese people also like to treat each other. Today you brought us to this great place, and we will also cook this meal according to Chinese characteristics. I'll treat you, and you can eat as you like."
Tim: … Why didn’t I know that China has this feature
After Luke said this, he didn't dare to mention some of the Chinese characteristics he had memorized from the materials.
This young man even knew a lot about things like the Five Poisons Wine and Chinese food. Tim had no confidence that he could fool him with that information.
When the food started to be served, Jeff suddenly remembered something and took out his phone: "I have to call Karen and tell her I won't be back for lunch."
The nice guy stood up and walked to the side: "Karen, you don't have to make lunch for me today, I'm eating outside. Oh, what? You're eating outside with your neighbors too, who? Uh, Tim and Luke are here too. Okay, no more chatting."
Karen hung up the phone and looked at Natalie suspiciously, then looked at Selena suspiciously.
Natalie's movements were graceful and she ate slowly and leisurely, which was pleasing to the eye.
Selina's movements were quick, but not to the point of being rude, which suited her cheerful temperament.
But these two...did they make an appointment? Why did Tim and Luke also happen to have dinner with Jeff
A certain suspicious housewife couldn't help but fall into deep thought again.
The three men finished their lunch and went to Jeff's company at his suggestion. The three of them had some fun on an indoor skydiving machine.
After coming out, Luke added an item to his and Selina's training: skydiving.
Moreover, they must go for real high-altitude skydiving, which is definitely much more fun than the current skydiving simulator, and can also give both of them a little more life-saving ability.
Luke casually said to Jeff: "How about we find an opportunity to go skydiving someday? Does your company have such a project?"
Jeff was stunned: "... It seems, no!" He did this indoor skydiving to provide psychological counseling for those employees in the company who were under great pressure.
Skydiving is an extremely dangerous extreme sport and not many people dare to try it. Although MBI is an airplane manufacturer, it will not regard this dangerous sport as a welfare benefit.
Luke smacked his lips and said, "Then I'll go look for it myself. I'll tell you when I have some news."
Jeff: "Well... I'm not really into sports."
Luke laughed and put his arm around his shoulders: "Jeff, how can a man say no! You need to exercise more, otherwise just drinking snake wine won't keep you going for too long."
