Chapter 21 Lunch
For a rich kid like him, he wouldn't even bother to look at this small restaurant.

It was ordinary, but there was an eye-catching sign hanging above the small door, with Chinese characters and English words that he could not understand.

"Relai Restaurant?" Kino muttered to himself as he looked at the broad figure walking in front of him.

"So you like Chinese food?"

Watching York walk in, Kino stopped and took another look at the surroundings before following him in.

But when he lifted the thick white curtain, he could feel the joy in the words coming from inside. He looked up and was surprised to find that the person speaking the voice was actually Asian or Chinese.

"Officer York! Are you resting?"

York looked at the middle-aged woman who suddenly stood up from the cashier counter and wiped her hands to greet him when he came in, nodded and smiled.

"Yes, Sister Ji, the old rules."

Ji Caiqin nodded with a smile and glanced at Kino who was standing behind York with a confused look on his face.

"this?"

"My colleague, give him a modified version of sweet and sour pork. And General Tso's chicken, pot stickers will do." York said with a smile.

"For the rest, I'm afraid he won't be able to get used to it. After all, he doesn't have a Chinese stomach like mine."

"Okay! Officer York, let's prepare it right away!" Ji Caiqin responded, and while leaving, she helped wipe the table, smiled implicitly at Kino who had a confused look on his face, and then walked towards the kitchen deep behind the tables and chairs.

"sit down."

York pulled out a chair with a familiar look on his face and sat down, motioning for Kino to sit in the front.

Jino sat down obediently and instinctively glanced at the layout of the restaurant.

The tables and chairs in the small space were arranged neatly and orderly. The table was covered with a white tablecloth, and was filled with tableware and bottles of seasonings that he couldn't understand.

It is clean, but a little small. Normally he would not come here to eat.

But now there was something that surprised him even more.

"Did you just speak Chinese?"

Jinuo was really surprised: "No, you can speak Chinese? And you speak it so fluently!"

York said calmly: "Is it strange?"

Jinuo nodded: "Irina told me that the most difficult language to learn in the world is Chinese. She is currently studying it, so I believe her."

Yorks raised an eyebrow: "Irina is learning Chinese, why?"

Jinuo shrugged: "She said that country in the East is developing very fast, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Hearing this, York remained silent and began to pick up one of the tableware and push it in front of Gino.

Although he was an orphan in his previous life, he was still a child who grew up under the five-star red flag, and that kind of emotion is indescribable to others.

In short, he can't go back now, but it is precisely because he can't go back that it is so profound.

"So you often come here for lunch?" Kino didn't notice anything unusual about York. He glanced at the restaurant again, took the cutlery that York pushed over, and spoke.

"Yeah." York replied without saying much. In fact, it was all coincidence, otherwise he really didn't know that a Chinese restaurant opened here.

Jinuo said: "No wonder, it seems that you are very familiar with the people here, but you are too welcome, it doesn't feel like you are treating a regular customer."

At this moment, someone spoke up: "Officer York helped us a lot, so we are all grateful to him."

Kino was startled by the sudden English words and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

It turned out to be the female boss who had welcomed York so much just now. She came over with a teapot and two cups and placed them on the table. "Officer York, have some water. The food will be here soon. Please wait a moment."

This time Kino could understand because the female boss spoke English.

York smiled and nodded, took the teapot and cup handed over by Sister Ji and said with a smile: "It's okay, Sister Ji, we have a lot of free time anyway, let Master Chao do it slowly."

Ji Caiqin smiled and nodded, then left and went back to the kitchen to help with the cooking.

Kino, who had been watching the whole process from the side, looked towards the transparent window in the depths and saw two people busying themselves inside.

His heart moved, and he remembered what he had just said, then looked at York who had a calm face, and asked curiously.

"How did you help them?"

"I received a call from the police that someone was robbing here." Yorks answered simply, without giving away any further details.

"It's that simple."

Kino shrugged to show that he understood, but he also knew that York had lunch here every day, which actually meant he had control over the place.

Because this is not their patrol area.

Thinking of this, Kino glanced at the busy figures deep inside and gained a new understanding of York.

However, Kino originally thought that York came here out of kindness and pity, but when the dishes were served, he found that York seemed to have a little more reason to come here.

"What kind of dish is this?"

Kino looked at the fried chicken nuggets and his eyes widened slightly as he chewed. He had never tasted anything like this in his life. It was like a new world had opened up to him.

"Sweet and sour pork." Yorks glanced at the guy while holding a bowl of steaming rice.

Although Kino seemed to have tasted some delicious food, in fact, he had never tasted this kind of food before and felt it was new for a while.

In fact, the taste of many Chinese foods is not suitable for the people here. The Chinese dishes that are popular here have basically been modified and the taste has changed long ago.

This was the conclusion he came to when he was cooking Chinese food at Sheffield House.

Because it feels fresh, but I won’t eat it for long.

Otherwise, if he really liked to eat, he, who was a good cook because he lived alone in his previous life, would have occupied the kitchen of Sheffield House long ago, instead of his mother and aunt in this life.

He ordered sweet and sour pork and General Tso's chicken for Kino, either sweet and sour or sweet and sour with a slight spicy flavor, with a crispy outside and tender, smooth and juicy inside.

In short, based on his experience of cooking for his family at his home in Sheffield, if he cooks for foreigners according to this taste, he will definitely get sincere praise.

"what about this!"

Watching Kino pick up the chicken sprinkled with seasoning and put it into his mouth, he opened his eyes wide while chewing as if he had experienced a new world.

Yorks still replied, "General Tso's Chicken." After that, he started to eat the rice with the fried pork with peppers and fried carrots in front of him.

Eating hot dogs and high-calorie hamburgers with those patrol colleagues is not as enjoyable as eating rice with big mouthfuls.

However, it also shows that his stomach still retains the feeling of his previous life, so that he can eat both the food here and the food in China and can adapt to them.

The sight of York eating rice also whetted Kino's appetite.

Out of curiosity, Kino not only ate his own food, but also tasted the food in front of York.

But in the end, I still felt that the food in front of me tasted better.
