"Xu Yan, long time no see!"

Emily saw Xu Yan as soon as she got out of the taxi, and gave Xu Yan a hug before she even took the suitcase.

In order to adapt to the local customs, Emily used Chinese, although her pronunciation was not ideal.

"I'm so glad you can come. It's been a year since we last met, right?"

"Yes, I am so happy. My father and mother were worried about me, but when I told them that you are here, Xu Yan, they were relieved. You really are my savior."

Xu Yan frowned as she listened to Emily speaking Chinese. Did this kid use the idiom incorrectly? "Lifesaver" sounds weird.

"Xu Yan, these are the gifts I brought. Give them to your aunt, uncle, and sister Yun."

"Really? Why would you buy a gift when you come here?"

Xu Yan took the bag from Emily, but she didn't look at what was inside. Emily always had a good eye.

"I'll take you in."

As soon as Emily entered the store, although the store was very small, Emily didn't say anything, but what surprised her was the items in the store.

"Ginseng?"

"Don't you know this?"

Seeing Emily's puzzled expression, Xu Yan asked. Emily shook her head: "I haven't heard of this much, but I often hear about American ginseng."

Father Xu laughed at the side: "Because you are from Country M, American ginseng is produced in Country M and Country J, and what we produce here is ginseng. And Country M also has clear regulations that ginseng and bird's nest cannot be imported."

Mr. Xu spoke a little too fast, and as a Chinese beginner, Emily found it a little hard to understand, so Xu Yan became a translator and translated it into English so that she could understand it better.

"Uncle, I want to ask what is the difference between American ginseng and ginseng?"

Even Emily had never seen this shape before and was not interested in ginseng. What's more, foreigners mostly sneer at things like health preservation. After all, foreigners have no concept of hot water and drink cold water all year round, so don't expect them to preserve their health.

"In Chinese mythology, ginseng and ganoderma often appear because in mythology, these are very precious tonics, but they are slightly exaggerated."

Father Xu first gave a preface and talked about the difference between the two: "Ginseng is known as the 'king of herbs'. It can nourish the lungs, blood, qi, and kidneys. It has great effects, while American ginseng can treat cardiovascular diseases, enhance immunity, and inhibit cancer cells. However, it is cold in nature, so you should drink less."

However, seeing Emily's puzzled expression, Father Xu said he was not in a hurry, "Come on, daughter, let's eat first, and we can talk while we eat."

It happened that Xu's mother had finished cooking, and Xu's father whispered to Xu Yan: "Let this girl come to our place to buy more when the time comes."

Xu Yan looked at Xu's father helplessly, businessmen are really shrewd.

After sitting down, Xu's mother made braised pork, shredded pork with fish flavor, Kung Pao chicken, dry-pot cabbage and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Emily rarely eats Chinese food like this, and even if she does, it certainly won't taste particularly good. After all, in Xu Yan's eyes, her mother's cooking is the best.

However, the food cooked by Xu's mother is really good. She has also taken the chef certification exam. Although she is not a five-star chef, she can also be said to be qualified to open a restaurant.

"Emily, let me tell you, the soup from the braised pork tastes really good when added to rice."

Xu Yan scooped a spoonful of braised pork soup for Emily and asked her to taste it. Emily tried to put the rice into her mouth.

"Hmm! Xu Yan is delicious, salty and sweet, and tastes especially good!"

Emily scooped another spoonful of shredded pork with fish flavor into the bowl, "Aunt, the rice you cooked is so delicious, it's simply heaven! When I go back, I will definitely ask my dad to hire a chef from our place."

"Child, since you can ask others to cook for you, why don't you learn to cook for yourself and cook for your parents?"

Emily was stunned by Xu's mother's question. The more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense. She clasped her fists and said hello to Xu's mother: "Aunt, I'll leave my hand to you for the next few days."

"hand?"

Xu Yan turned her head and said, "We are talking about cooking skills."

After Xu Jun understood, he almost laughed out loud, "Emily, have you never cooked before?"

"Of course I did, but you know, we mostly eat fast food, rarely Chinese food, we only eat sandwiches, coffee, fruit and the like."

As he said this, he picked up a piece of Kung Pao Chicken. Hmm, it’s very smooth and tender, not dry at all.

After saying that, Father Xu started the previous topic: "My daughter, do you stay up late?"

"Hehe, I'm not happy with you all, but I can still stay up late. At least I go to bed at two or three every day."

"Oh, then you are in poor health."

"Why? I don't seem to have any pimples or anything, and my complexion looks fine."

"That's because you have good genes. In fact, staying up late means that the toxins in your body can no longer be completely eliminated."

From east to west, from inside to outside, Xu Yan cooperated with Xu's father. After all, Xu's father was in this kind of business. He told her everything, such as when you can eat and when you can't eat, what diseases you can't eat and what you can eat.

The system helped Xu Yan correct the mistakes, and then Xu Ya helped Xu's father correct them.

After the meal, Xu Yan found Emily the same hotel where she had previously arranged for Su Rou to stay, and promised to cover all the expenses there.

But Emily said righteously: "No, Xu Yan, I don't need you to do this. I didn't cover your expenses when you came to our place, and I have money. Have you forgotten that I am the company's director's assistant after all?"

Xu Yan was persuaded by Emily, and the two of them stayed in the hotel for half a day. This was not Emily's first time to come to Shanghai. She had been here several times before with the company team, but she didn't have a good time.

"There's a zoo nearby. Do you want to go there tomorrow morning?"

Xu Yan suggested, and Emily nodded: "Why don't we invite my aunt and the others, and then I'll send the video to my parents."

Xu Yan stayed for an afternoon and talked about the company and some previous things.

After the discussion, they returned to the store. Xu Yan also owned quite a few houses, but most of them were rented out, and the ones left for herself were all close to the city center.

For dinner, Emily tasted the delicious knife-cut noodles. Not only that, Xu's mother also made different base ingredients according to everyone's different tastes.

"Host, could you please stop asking mom to make so many delicious dishes? I want to eat them just by looking at them."

"It's okay, just take a closer look."
