Last year I went to America and stayed there with an American family for two months.
As is said, “The best house is in America, the best wife is in Japan, and the best food is in China.” So I pride and pleasure in “the best food” I for my American family. Each day, regardless of my poor skill of cooking, I would do something in a way: changing the dishes color, the meat’s type or the soup’s style. Thus, my American friends could discover the of eating Chinese food. Because of my “ ” job, I was often rewarded by their of thanks such as “very delicious”, “excellent”, etc.
something funny happened yesterday when I cooked Sichuan style fish for dinner. I was with my work.
When the whole family sat round the table, they first looked at the fish, then looked at me. “Why do all the fish only have their ?” they asked, “It’s terrible!”
or terrible? I can’t understand. But I do know that fish heads are delicious. The head is the part of fish; in only the important guest can have the of enjoying it.
Another thing is :the American friends often said to me “ ” as they home fruits or other things. According to Chinese tradition I would simply smile in answer to their kindness actually helping myself to any of the food. , I said “helping yourself” to them whenever I brought home fruits. Dear me! No matter how much or how often I brought home food, as long as it was nice to their taste, they hesitated to use their hands to “help themselves” until all was finished.
