After finishing speaking, before eating the second 1/2 oyster shell with meat, Shen Xiaoxiao calmly said to Luo Siyu and Yang Manqing in English: "Guys, since Zhou Lin is my friend, I think you'd better To show her due respect. How would you feel if you sat down for dinner with a group of Samoan-speaking islanders or Hausa-speaking West Africans?"

After eating the last 1/2 oyster shell with meat, Yang Manqing replied with a smile: "I'm very sorry, dear."

Luo Siyu blinked and said, "I'm sorry too, sweetheart. If you think we're not sincere, I'm willing to pay some price for it."

"Hmm, the price? Let's hear it."

"Uh, I've discussed this issue with Patricia, and I'll tell you later."

"No, I need to know now."

"Well, if you don't object, I'll call after dinner."

When the three girls were discussing very harmoniously, Zhou Lin faced the half dozen fresh oysters on the plate but thought of such a question: "That's right, when the waiter brought the plate in front of me, why didn't I Thinking of eating oysters like this?"

"Maybe, it's the half and half. The huge oyster shell with meat really attracts my attention."

"But, even if you eat it with one of the dipping sauces, isn't the oyster meat raw in your mouth?"

"What if the waiter didn't wash the oyster thoroughly and cleanly, or was it salvaged in some coastal areas of the United States polluted by heavy metals?" Zhou Lin couldn't help feeling suspicious after hearing Shen Xiaoxiao's introduction.

Perhaps, she was frightened by the really worrying food quality and safety issues in China.Afterwards, he thought about it and connected his thoughts to other people: "Why don't you make a call and ask Shen Ying?"

"Well, it's 5:40 p.m. in New York time, so the time in Shanghai should be 6:40 a.m. Shen Ying has probably had breakfast with his uncle and aunt."

"International roaming calls are too expensive, so it's better to use WeChat. I heard that WeChat has entered the US market, so I just took this opportunity to give it a try."

After Zhou Lin made up her mind, she took out her mobile phone from her satchel and was about to connect to the restaurant's WiFi, Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at her: "Zhou Lin, the longer the oyster stays in the air, the less it will It is good for people to enjoy the deliciousness that it will disappear at any time."

Zhou Lin glanced sideways at her, then at the service not far away and whispered, "Oh, I see. But, I'm a little afraid that this raw oyster meat is not safe to eat... go on."

The other three people sitting here could understand her Chinese. Luo Siyu took a sip of beer and said in Chinese: "Ms. Zhou, if the problem you are worried about really occurs, I am afraid this restaurant has long been abandoned on Yelp." out of sight and out of people's sight."

"What is Yelp?" Zhou Lin asked her curiously.

"Yelp is the largest famous merchant review website in the United States. Founded in San Francisco in 2004, it includes merchants in restaurants, shopping malls, hotels, tourism and other fields across the United States. Users can rate all merchants on the Yelp website and submit reviews. Exchange shopping experiences. Camilla, is there such a website in mainland China?" Luo Siyu asked Xiaoxiao.

"Of course there is. I remember it was called Dianping.com, which is a relatively well-known local life information and trading platform in China, as well as an independent third-party consumer review website." Xiaoxiao replied.

Zhou Lin seized the opportunity of chatting, and asked Luo Siyu again: "Then what is the evaluation of this restaurant on Yelp?"

Yang Manqing drank the beer in her glass, wiped her hands with a paper towel, and said in Chinese, the third official language of her country: "How should I say it? It can be said that the reviews on Yelp are almost overwhelmingly positive. But regardless Anyway, it is still worthy of my trust."

After thinking about it, Shen Xiaoxiao said to Zhou Lin: "How about this, if you are really worried, besides the squid salad, I can also order you a scallop and mushroom risotto. Don't worry, these two Seafood dishes are perfectly cooked."

Zhou Lin glanced at the mobile phone in her hand, smiled and said to her: "It's okay, isn't it just eating 6 oysters that people in China often say. Xiao Xiao, why can't I connect to the Wi-Fi of this restaurant?"

Xiao Xiao shook her head and said: "This restaurant can't accept Apple mobile phone payment, there is no takeaway, no outdoor seating, no Wi-Fi, no TV, and it cannot fully meet all the needs of customers."

Luo Siyu was waiting for Xiao Xiaoming's second order of oysters + beer, and said to her: "Miss Zhou, now you know why this 'Happy Hour' dish is only $12? This is what you pay for $12 seafood cost."

After the four of them laughed and chatted for a while, Shen Xiaoxiao still ordered two "Happy Hours" for Luo Siyu and them - oysters + beer.Zhou Lin plucked up her courage, and after eating two 4/2 oyster shells with meat, she smiled and said to Xiaoxiao: "Hey, I never thought that oyster meat mixed with three sauces and lemon juice would be so delicious. tasty!"

After Shen Xiaoxiao took a big sip of beer, she said with a smile, "Sometimes, it's not a bad thing to try new things. By the way, just now you used your phone to connect to WiFi, did you want to use your Internet phone to call home?"

"Actually, I want to send Shen Ying a WeChat message."

"Look, why don't we just video call him and send the scene of our dinner directly to our home in Shanghai?"

"Using your phone? But your phone is not connected to WiFi?"

"It's okay, I have a lot of data on my mobile phone."

At this time, in the villa of Shen's family in Shanghai Shimao Sheshan Manor, Shen Ying, he and his little parents were just sitting in the dining room and preparing to have breakfast.Shen Ying noticed that the iPhone on the table was ringing, picked it up, looked at it and said to his parents with a smile, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoxiao is inviting me to make a video call!"

When Song Mingjuan heard her son's words, she muttered, "Why did my daughter call back so early in the morning? She still uses video calls!? Xiaoying, is this video call charged the same as normal calls?"

When Shen Ying pressed the accept button on the screen, he said, "Mom, this one is different. This one uses network traffic."

Immediately, Zhou Lin's face in New York appeared on the phone screen: "Xiaoying, are you okay? How is your uncle and aunt? Are you having breakfast?"

Shen Ying was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, she took her mobile phone and ran to her mother on the opposite side of the dining table, pointed her face and her mother's face at the screen of the mobile phone and said: "We are all fine, we are having breakfast. Look, mom Also there."

Zhou Lin smiled and said, "Xiaoying, auntie, hello. Me, Xiaoxiao, and her friend are having dinner at an American seafood restaurant in lower Manhattan. Xiaoxiao will broadcast the dinner live for you to watch."
