Embarrassments and jokes occur due to different food cultures.

A foreign-related enterprise.

Once receiving foreign businessmen, because the supervisor had an affair, he arranged for the new Xiao Li to entertain three foreign businesses for a light meal in the evening.

Xiao Li felt that he would be embarrassed to be alone, so he called his colleague Xiao Zhao and chose a Chinese restaurant.

Xiao Li received foreign businessmen for the first time and did not know how to order.

"It's okay, wait for the guests to come, together, the taste of foreigners can't understand ah!" Xiao Zhao came up with an idea.

After all the guests arrived, the waiter handed over the menu.

"Welcome! I don't know what kind of taste you like, according to our usual habits, each person orders a dish? Xiao Li said, politely handing the menu to the guests to order first.

The first foreign businessman ordered hibiscus slices.

The second foreign businessman referred to scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

The third foreign businessman did not know how to order, let Xiao Li and Xiao Zhao point first.

Xiao Li and Xiao Zhao ordered steamed fish and fried potato shreds respectively, and then handed the menu to the third foreign businessman.

"You see, you haven't ordered soup yet, or will you order a soup?" Sauerkraut vermicelli soup? Xiao Zhao looked at him very embarrassed, so he recommended it.

"It was so good! That's it, sauerkraut vermicelli soup! "Foreign investors are very happy.

In a moment, it was served.

"Sir, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, please use them slowly!".

"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes? It's mine! The second foreign businessman happily brought the plate over, put it in front of him and began to eat.

Xiao Li and Xiao Zhao were blindfolded...

The second dish was hibiscus slices, and the first foreign businessman also brought it over and began to eat it, praising the good taste while eating it.

After the steamed fish and fried potato shreds came up, in order to avoid embarrassment, Xiao Li and Xiao Zhao also followed the example of the first two and began to eat the dishes they ordered...

When a large pot of "sauerkraut vermicelli soup" was served, Xiao Li was completely embarrassed.

"Why don't you order a new one?" Xiao Zhao was embarrassed to say that after all, he recommended it himself.

I'll finish eating what I ordered!"

So, the third foreign businessman brought a large pot of soup and began to eat...

"The taste... Nice!" He burped and said.
