Henry Abbe had a fashionable Chinese name - Henry Wang .
It was a meaningful name to him . When he had just arrived in China, he didn't know what kind of name he wanted to have . At the same time, he wanted a powerful surname . He had been seeing the surname 'Wang' on the news frequently and he felt that this surname was definitely something special . Hence, he gave himself a 'Wang' in his name .
Those that knew him well addressed him as Elder Wang .
Each time a Chinese addressed him, they would smile at him . He felt that the Chinese were friendly like the people mentioned in the ancient stories .
However, what he didn't understand was that whenever he wanted to stay with a friend, the males would always reject him as if he was a ghost . That left him confused .
In the end, he found out the reason from his friend . People were afraid of staying with those that had the surname 'Wang' . That was because the surname was too powerful and people felt pressured .
Henry Wang stood before a stall and looked at it . The shop owner had great skills and a lot of tricks . Then, he shook his head because the aroma and looks of the food were too unbearable .
Perhaps the taste would be amazing as well, however, it was still not as good as what he had dreamed about .
Was he really not going to find amazing food?
Those that were awarded the Michelin Star were food from exquisite stalls . However, this situation was pretty scary to those rating the stalls . They had been trying to develop a new scoring matrix to stop awarding Michelin stars to exquisitely designed stalls . What they really wanted to find was something that had an unforgettable taste .
When he was prepared to leave, a conversation between two Chinese youngsters attracted his attention .
"Sigh, I really want to eat Master Lin's scallion pancakes but it's a pity that they're so difficult to buy . "
"Me too . They only sell ten scallion pancakes every day and the queue is so long . If only he increased the daily limit . "
"Dream on . The taste of Master Lin's scallion pancakes is really the most unforgettable delicacy in my whole life . As long as I can eat it once, I would be satisfied for the rest of my life . "
…
Henry's Mandarin was perfect and he could understand what the two Chinese men were talking about . He was stunned .
Scallion pancake?
He knew about this delicacy . It was simple and cheap . It was also a filling dish . Of course, it was a snack mainly just used to fill one's stomach . He felt that it wasn't worthy of being a well-known delicacy .
However, he decided to find out about it after seeing the expressions of the two Chinese men . He wanted to find out how delicious it was . How could they crave for it so much?
"Hi, I am Henry . May I know what scallion pancake you guys were talking about earlier?" Although Henry's Mandarin was good, he had a weird accent and people were bound to laugh when they heard it .
However, since a Caucasian had asked about it, they had to answer him . "You don't know about Master Lin's scallion pancakes?"
"I don't know . That's why I asked," Henry replied .
The two of them couldn't take it anymore . Which Chinese class did he go to? Why was his accent so hilarious?
"Master Lin's scallion pancakes of Cloud Street are really famous in Shanghai . As long as you've been here for some time, you would know his shop," a man said .
Henry was still curious, "It's really famous? Is it really delicious?"
"Yes . It is really delicious . You haven't eaten it before, right?"
"Nope . "
"Then, you should go and try it . As long as you try it once, it'll let you have an indescribable feeling . The scallion pancake might even be glowing . "
Henry was stunned .
Glowing
"Glowing food? Isn't that from Chuka Ichiban?" [A Japanese manga] Henry always felt that Chinese people were able to exaggerate their descriptions of a lot of things . He had never seen any food that would glow .
After discussing further .
Of course, Henry had been convinced by them . He really wanted to see the glowing scallion pancake for himself . Furthermore, it would even cause him to have an indescribable feeling after eating it .
Any magical food would make Henry curious about it .
Of course, he had been cheated a lot of times .
Previously, a Chinese man introduced him to a delicacy known as the 'smelly beancurd' . The one and only time he tried it was a traumatizing experience .
"Thank you . I will look for it," Henry thanked them .
The two of them laughed after Henry left . Then, they started talking again .
"How long do you think he needs to queue for?"
"I don't know . If he's unlucky, perhaps a month . "
"Hey, I hope he won't get chosen so soon . If not, it would be even more difficult for us to get it next time . "
"That's true . "
To some of the people in Shanghai, Master Lin's scallion pancakes at Cloud Street were insanely scary . Those that managed to buy it on their first try would always think hard about it before deciding if it was worthy of eating it .
Because once they tried it, they wouldn't know how long they would have to queue for to try it again .
At Cloud Street .
Lin Fan laid there leisurely . This time, he felt great after being crowned the hero of the migrant workers .
Even those praises online made him feel a little embarrassed .
However, he was spending the Encyclopedic Points a little too quickly . Even though he felt a little wasteful, everything was worth it .
He had to do it to suppress their cockiness .
He called Zhao Ming Qing .
"Teacher, what is it?"
Lin Fan said, "Ming Qing, I have to tell you something . "
"Teacher, go ahead . "
"I think the foundation materials that I prepared based on Chinese Medicine should receive more attention . It can let every student learn it seriously . What do you think?"
Zhao Ming Qing replied, "Yes, yes . Teacher, you're right . Don't worry . I will test some of the concepts of the foundation materials . "
Lin Fan smiled, "Alright, that's good . I'll hang up now . "
Recently, the increase of his Encyclopedic Points was a little slow . It looked like the Chinese Medicine materials that he had prepared weren't really well-liked by the students .
He felt that he had to do something about it . He wanted Zhao Ming Qing to push the students further so that they would work harder . After all, this would help to increase his Encyclopedic Points .
The Children's Welfare Institute was also pretty decent . All 365 of the children were really hard working . They had helped Lin Fan to earn quite a number of Encyclopedic Points .
Of course, the Encyclopedic Points from Chinese Arts and planting were slowly increasing .
He felt that table tennis seemed like a good game . It could train a person physically and the parents would just have to let the children come out to play so that they would be active . It looked like he had to teach the kids something new so that they could have more fun .
With their brilliant minds, they would definitely be able to become incredible table tennis players .
However, the education level of the Children's Welfare Institute wasn't built yet . He had to wait for some time before its completion .
The standards of some of the children's Chinese Arts had been increasing . The consumption of the Little Intelligence Pill was simply not a joke .
