Chapter 72
As they were astonished and delighted, Xu Bin had already explained to the chubby auntie, "Auntie, he's been here a few times and loved the century eggs. He's from overseas and has tried some extreme foods there, but he found your century eggs delicious, especially the fried ones."
"He works here long-term, and the others are just visiting colleagues. They wanted to try the century eggs again because he raved about them so much. He's really upset that they're not on the menu anymore."
The auntie immediately sent someone to buy century eggs and generously said, "He's a regular! I'll treat them to some fried century eggs."
The foreigner talked to his colleagues, then patted Xu Bin on the shoulder, speaking enthusiastically.
Xu Bin laughed and translated, "He's asking about the stinky tofu cart that's usually nearby. That's also on the extreme food list, and he wanted to try it this time."
"I'll send someone to get some," the auntie said cheerfully.
Xu Bin naturally took the menu and started ordering for them. After a series of interactions, the fried century eggs were a hit, and everyone cheered. He chatted a bit more before returning to the private room.
Zhang Xinda's face was already dark. The auntie rushed in, carrying a plate of beef tripe, and happily said, "A-Yu, your son-in-law was a big help today. I owe him one!"
"Neighbors help each other; it's no trouble," Shen Ruyu replied.
"Well said! Not every college graduate is useful. Your son-in-law is something else," the auntie praised, placing the beef tripe on the table. "He's got real skills. Who cares about his education? No degree, no problem. No culture is scary."
After this commotion, the mother and daughters looked at Xu Bin with newfound respect, seeing him as even more cultured.
