Chen Yiping spent the rest of her vacation being visited and reading letters from readers.
The eldest lady came to visit Chen Yibin the next day, and she did not forget to bring a piece of the Bailsons' famous apple cod pie, and told her: "Eat more apples, which will help you recover."
Huang Weitian looked at the magical pie and was particularly curious about the texture. After taking a bite, she complained that it was not that she had never experienced Schaffer’s dark cuisine. After all, she had lived in Schaffer for so many years, but she still I was stunned by the top-grade dark cuisine of the Bailsen family. It is indeed a duke’s palace!
The eldest lady was so angry that she rolled her eyes several times and said, "If you don't like eating, it's not for you."
Huang Weitian laughed and asked the housekeeper to prepare a lot of delicious food and let her eat at home. Regardless of whether they are Chinese or Shafer, having guests at home for dinner is a very close relationship. Susanna couldn't refuse, so she took advantage of the situation and stayed at Huang's house for dinner.
At noon, Mr. Huang was very considerate and stayed away from home due to official duties, leaving space for these girls. Without the elders, the eldest lady felt more relaxed and had a very happy meal, especially after eating a dish called The dish "Buddha jumped over the wall" was translated by Huang Weitian into "God jumped over the wall", which made Chen Yiping laugh non-stop.
Fortunately, the eldest lady does not have too strong religious beliefs, so there is no problem in making such a joke. Later, Chen Yiping explained to her: "This dish is very expensive and very nutritious. It is expensive enough to entertain the president or the king. Such a guest." After hearing this, the eldest lady was really happy, and then she glanced at Huang Weitian and said, "You are quite dedicated to this standard."
Sometimes women’s friendship is so wonderful, and this subtle friendship between the three of them slowly warmed up. When the eldest lady left, Huang Weitian took away two Gu Buddha Jumping Walls and asked her family to try them. The eldest lady took them away without any courtesy.
Chen Yiping laughed at her: "Don't tell me that people look at people by their nostrils, that they are not frank, and that they are difficult to get along with?"
Huang Weitian laughed twice and ran away.
Chen Yibing still remembered writing two articles while she was ill. Among them, she wrote about her experience of spending Christmas abroad and participating in various dances. She wrote that Christmas is the most important festival for the Shafer people. The status is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China. She also mentioned the dance specially prepared by Condon University for foreign students. She specially selected a photo that looked quite satisfactory. It was the newly decorated auditorium of St. Ivan College taken by Albert. , there are Christmas trees, balloons, mistletoe, etc. In view of the fact that the domestic atmosphere is still too conservative, the scene of the dancing demons during the middle of the dance is not allowed.
Writing that she was ill, "She is recuperating at home, and her close friend Miss Huang is taking care of her with all her heart. It is a pity that she cannot attend the dance at the family of the noble lady S due to illness. Miss Huang attended on behalf of the two of them, but because she is Chinese, she Being discriminated against."
Chen Yiping wrote: "I am very sad when I write this. We Chinese people in foreign countries, especially Western countries, are not as equal and beautiful as everyone imagines. But because of this, young people with ambitions must work harder and strive for Work hard to revitalize China. Everyone’s efforts combined are the efforts of our nation.”
She also mentioned her experience of working part-time, saying: "Because I am Chinese, I was assigned the worst job by the foreman. It was the most strenuous every day, and I was always unable to finish the work because of too many tasks. When the foreman came to inspect the work, he used his fingers to test whether it was clean. Later, when I walked out of here, the foreman followed me and looked at me with a particularly surprised expression. In fact, I had to say that I was It's a lie that I don't feel relieved, but when I stand in that position and look at her discrimination against me, I feel that it may be a kind of tempering. So I want to say, don't give up on yourself in difficult situations. My dear readers, have you seen here that I once worked as a cleaner for a period of time?"
“I think many people will say that this is a lowly job and think that I am not worthy to chat with you here, but I want to say that when a person is almost homeless on the streets of a foreign country, there is a job that can provide me with food and I am really grateful for the work that creates value with my own hands, not to mention whether it is noble or not. Because of this valuable experience, I say that ordinary people will only think about doing something when they are full. , instead of mentioning doctrines or ideals when everyone’s stomachs are growling.”
After her article was published in China, readers who had always speculated that she was everyone's daughter were particularly surprised. A woman who had worked as a cleaner could actually study in Kangdun, write manuscripts, and befriend big nobles. Friends, attend various parties. Readers' letters to her were immediately divided into two groups. One group thought she was inspirational, and the other group thought she was sensational. Because of such an ups and downs, her articles have more readers than before.
The editor-in-chief was even more happy when he saw her pictures and descriptions, and said to his second brother: "Let the 'stranger' take more photos, it will be more interesting." He continued to send several piles of letters from readers to his second brother.
The second brother saved a lot and later sent them all to Chen Yibing. So during the second half of the holiday, she basically spent her time reading letters and replies from readers.
Huang Weitian enthusiastically helped open the letter at first. Many people expressed their love for Chen Yijun, and some even wrote to ask: "How to study abroad in Kangdun?" "I don't have the tuition to study. , can you support me?" "If you can practice English well, go to school?" and other weird questions, Huang Weitian later became unable to complain.
Then she remembered her previous ambition to submit an article to "vogue", so she picked it up again and wrote a collection of Christmas party clothing styles. Huang Weitian's article was well received by the eldest lady, and the eldest lady She said that her draft was more practical than Chen Yixing's draft, and she also specially hired a photographer to take photos of the clothes mentioned by Huang Weitian, which was very supportive.
Later, this article was actually published in the French version of "vogue". Because the idea was novel and fashionable, it was given a large page. The fee sent was only a few dozen pounds, but it was still more than Chen Yibing's dozens of dollars. Several times, Chen Yiping was laughed at by Huang Weitian and the eldest lady Haodun.
School started soon. On the first day of school, I ran into Ced, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. They hadn’t seen each other since the last dance. Ced wanted to act as if nothing had happened, but his stiff body language betrayed him. He, when Albert showed Seder the embarrassing photo of the two of them kissing on stage, Seder became even more embarrassed. Fortunately, the two of them only met for a short time.
Life after the start of school is very peaceful. Chen Yibin has adapted to life at Condon University better than last semester. She has classes every morning, goes to the library to read in the afternoon, and comes back to cook in the evening. Ever since Huang Weitian and the eldest lady gradually became bad friends, they were very consistent in eating the dishes cooked by Chen Yibin. Huang Weitian was the one who ordered whatever she wanted to eat, while the eldest lady even refused to agree to it even with Chen Yibin. At that time, the one who has provided the materials.
Both the eldest lady and Huang Weitian felt that they worked very well together, and they even continued to write "What to wear when we study" and "Those little-known shopping shops" for "Vogue" magazine Such attractive manuscripts received royalties that were several times higher than Chen Yixing's.
College life passed slowly and peacefully in this way. In the middle of the second semester, when Chen Yiping was being urged by the eldest lady and Huang Weitian to cook delicious food every day, she suddenly felt: She should open a simple small restaurant!
This decision was echoed by the other two people. They also said that they would provide financial support. If it requires manpower (household servants), they can provide manpower, and if it requires intelligence, it also requires intelligence. In short, this proposal is very good, and they should have thought of it earlier!
Chen Yiping's simple little restaurant is a takeaway shop specially catered to the students in Kangton who are anxious to go to school in the morning. It especially sells snacks that can be quickly prepared in the morning for students to take away.
The three of them quickly made preparations. They found the location of the store, compiled the menu of the store, and selected and trained the waiters. The three of them became busy at once.
There are many small restaurants and pubs in Kangton. In her last life, Chen Yiping also knew that there was a pub called 'Eagle' that had stood in Kangton for more than 50 years. This is the oldest bar in Kangton. This industry is very important in Kangton. In the special environment of Dayton University, it becomes obsolete and updated extremely quickly.
Chen Yiping's small restaurant is named 'Food Corner', and the door specifically says: "Providing fast and portable food for everyone who goes to school!" Then he placed a big pot of braised pork at the door of the snack bar, and on one side While the sauced meat is stewed and attracting customers, the aroma can be smelled from two miles away.
The small shop they rented was a storefront on the back floor of St. Ivan's College. It was right at the crossroads between St. Ivan's College and St. Louis College. Most of the students from the two colleges would pass by here, and the shop was a short distance from St. Ivan's College. The college's student dormitories are also very close.
The 'Food Corner' not only sells braised pork, but also some Huaxia and Schaffer food. The varieties on the Schaffer side are naturally fried fish, fried chicken, and French fries, while the Huaxia side also offers steamed steamed dumplings. There are not many varieties of pancakes and fruits, as well as simpler hot dogs and sandwiches, but they are all simple, delicious and easy to carry that Chen Yibin has considered repeatedly.
After their shop opened, the first batch of people who came to buy were the boys from the dormitory of St. Ivan College. They were attracted by the smell of braised meat. Some people opened the window and shouted: "Such fragrant meat, why don't you give it to me?" I'll bring some up and I'll pay when you get upstairs!"
Chen Yiping had an idea at that time, so the shop also provided door-to-door delivery service. At once, more than a dozen boys from St. Ivan College made orders. This fragrance wafts around.
After the store opened for a month or so, the business went from being deserted at the beginning to getting back on track. They found that the fish and chips they thought would sell well were not selling well at all. Only a few were sold every day. People buy it, but hot dogs and sandwiches are barely enough. The biggest sales are braised pork. It’s such a big pot and the taste is so fragrant. Even if it’s not Shaffer’s local dish, these students can’t even care.
Besides the braised pork, the best-selling item is not the steamed buns, but the pancakes and fruits. There are a lot of people lining up to buy pancakes every morning, lunch and evening. Although the aristocratic students of St. Ivan insist on their status and do not eat such dishonorable food, they can't resist the popularity. The pancakes are filled with sweet and sour spicy food. The sauce has become even more popular and is likely to surpass braised pork as the most popular food in the store.
Later, Chen Yiping had time to write her latest article, writing about the power of Chinese food, "It helped me make friends, and also earned me pocket money through food. The fees I earned can actually pay for my stay in Kangton." I was really pleasantly surprised. If you ask me what dish I sell that is so popular in Kangton, in fact, I just made a plate of soy sauce beef."
