Chinese food saves the world

In late October [-], Pasadena, the City of Angels, had beautiful scenery and bright sunshine. As a resort, there is never a shortage of tourists who relax, relax and feel happy.

But on this day, at the Caltech physics department party in this satellite city, Dr. Gablehouse, the newly appointed dean of the department, was not in a good mood at all.

There is a sumptuous buffet and a cocktail lounge in the auditorium, and a group of scientific elites do not forget to discuss advanced physical theories even at the party.

And wearing a "nerd-like" plaid suit, the thin and tall theoretical physicist Sheldon Cooper said to his new boss with a serious and extremely mean face, "Nice to meet you, Gabriel Howard You are lucky to have been employed by the Academy, Dr. S, even though you haven't produced original research in 25 years, but just published a series of stupid bestsellers."

Shelton continued his efforts, "With all due respect, as a mediocre high school science teacher who was promoted, your last successful experiment was to ignite your own fart."

The audience in the auditorium was silent, and a few minutes later, the physics department of Caltech, which was recognized as the best in the world, fired a genius physicist with a super IQ.

Outside the Caltech science laboratory, Shelton held the kraft cardboard box containing his personal belongings, and said to his roommate Leonard in disbelief, "I can't believe that he fired me."

The experimental physicist Leonard was very helpless, looking downcast as if he was the one who was fired, "I believe that as long as you apologize to Gablehouse, he will let you go back to work."

This is true. Although Dr. Gablehouse is not very outstanding in scientific research, he is indeed not a fussy villain. As long as Sheldon is willing to apologize, I believe he will not make things difficult.

It's a pity that Sheldon has no intention of apologizing at all, "I don't want to go back to work. I have been staring at a board full of equations for the past three and a half years. Before that, I spent four years writing my two doctoral dissertations. Going forward, I went to Heidelberg Academy in Germany as a visiting professor after graduating from university at the age of 14, and before university, I was in fifth grade, this is the first time I have taken a break in more than ten years, and I will enjoy it.”

Facing the shared roommate who habitually showed off his extraordinary IQ, Leonard held his empty stomach, "Before you enjoy the vacation, I have to fill my stomach first, because we just put the appetizers on the plate before we have time Take one bite, and you've angered the new boss with unkindness."

Shelton didn't refuse Leonard's request, but emphasized critically, "Today is Saturday Chinese food day."

Shelton has extremely strict requirements on the regularity of life, and the seven-day diet is basically fixed, and Saturday is the unshakable Chinese food day.

There are many Chinese communities in Pasadena, and there are even more Chinese supermarkets and restaurants. Leonard did not know what to think, and cleared his throat pretending to be natural, "There is a new Chinese restaurant on Robles Avenue."

Obsessive-compulsive sufferer Sheldon Cooper disagrees with the proposal, "The Chinese restaurant on the menu for the week is 'Sichuan Palace' - appetizer steamed dumplings, main course General Tso's chicken, beef with kale, shrimp in dragon sauce, The main dish is mixed vegetable lo mein.”

He raised his eyebrows and looked at Leonard, "What is the reason for breaking the rules?"

Leonard, the most normal of the Frankenstein quartet, had to answer honestly, "Penny quit her job at the cheesecake shop and became the new waiter at this Chinese restaurant yesterday."

Penny is a beautiful, sexy, straightforward and sincere blonde girl. Like many young people in Los Angeles, she dreams of becoming a famous actress, but her acting career is not going well. She can only work part-time in fast food restaurants with limited income.

The short, sincere and enthusiastic Leonard silently admires this beautiful female neighbor. Although he often feels frustrated and is ridiculed by several roommates because of this, he is still not ready to give up.

Fortunately, Sheldon, who has always been critical, did not resist to the end today, and finally reluctantly agreed to go to this newly opened Chinese restaurant with him.

Of course, if the taste didn't satisfy him, he probably would have sat on Leonard for at least three weeks.

At this moment, two physicists stood on Robles Avenue, looking up at the signboard of the new Chinese restaurant - Holidays.

Holiday?

The naming of this Chinese restaurant is a bit capricious, and it does not follow the usual style of Chinese restaurants in the United States.

The "Washington Post" once conducted a data analysis. After filtering the names of nearly [-] Chinese restaurants in the United States, it was found that more than one-third of the Chinese restaurant names used the high-frequency words "Restaurant", "a" and "ese". ".There are also nearly [-] restaurants whose signboards contain "Panda" or are simply Chinese place names.

All in all, let people know at a glance that I am entering a Chinese restaurant. I am afraid that the name will be too westernized and the business will be poor. I even have to put pandas or dragons on the signboard. The must-haves are red lanterns, dragon motifs and a splash of red paint.

At this time, looking at the quaint bamboo partitions that blocked the view of the main branch, and it was almost impossible to see how the interior of the restaurant was, and the simple English words on the wooden plaque, Leonard, who asked to come to this restaurant to eat, was a little confused—— —

What about red paint?What about Golden Traditional Chinese Calligraphy Words?What about the big red lanterns on both sides of the entrance?What about the bunches of peppers hanging next to the lantern?What about the pair of "囧囧有神" stone lions standing vertically under the pepper?What about the red couplet behind the stone lion?Where's the dragon?Where's the panda?Where are you going? !

This is probably a fake Chinese restaurant.

And this is bound to cause Sheldon Cooper, a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, to blow his hair.

But to Leonard's surprise, Sheldon didn't express his dissatisfaction in a critical way, but stared at the string of English words on the signboard abnormally, wondering what he was thinking.

A few seconds later, Sheldon, who was holding a cardboard box, walked into the Chinese restaurant on his own initiative without making any critical remarks.

Leonard quickly followed, and after entering the restaurant through the partition entrance, he was even more surprised by the interior layout.

The space is not too big, it can be filled with ten tables. As a straight man of science and engineering, Leonard can't find any fancy words to describe the beautiful and complicated ancient wood carvings in front of him, but the layout of this Chinese restaurant is obviously elegant and luxurious. It has an indescribable oriental elegance.

As a Chinese restaurant that just opened, it seems that the occupancy rate is very good with only one empty table left, but when you think that there are only ten tables in the whole restaurant, you can't help but doubt——

Can the operator of this Chinese restaurant really make money?How do you feel that you will lose everything soon?It is estimated that even the restaurant decoration money will not be able to earn back.

When Leonard was worried about business issues for the restaurant owner, Sheldon had already selected the best location after considering a series of reference information such as ventilation and lighting, and the sexy and beautiful blonde girl Penny also approached the two.

Unlike her previous yellow waitress uniform at the Cheesecake joint, Penny is stunning in a classic little black dress.

—The kind that looks expensive.

"Hey, Penny, you're absolutely gorgeous today." Thankfully, Leonard has the most normal EQ of the Frankenstein quartet.

The blunt and cheerful blonde girl also thinks the same way, and she has a vivid surprise on her face, "This is the 'work uniform' given to me by my new boss this morning."

The classic little black dress, which is both tough and soft, fits perfectly, making the beautiful and sexy Penny look extremely charming, but Leonard has a sense of crisis——

The new boss sent it this morning?Penny just took office yesterday, the size of this dress is so accurate? !This new boss must be a playboy who often hangs around in the women's circle!And Penny's tone was full of admiration for this "new boss"!

Penny didn't notice Leonard's depressed mood, she looked at Sheldon who was very "normal" and didn't turn on the poisonous tongue mode, and introduced the restaurant and menu in a good-tempered manner, "It's different from other restaurants, the daily dishes are made by My new boss decided to focus on Suzhou soup dumplings today, paired with small wontons."

Penny was very worried about the new boss's business philosophy of "love to eat, don't eat eggs", but after tasting the "Chinese magic buns" and a bowl of delicious wontons in the morning, she completely became the boss's brainless blow.

But this kind of Chinese restaurant menu without tangerine peel chicken tenders and General Tso's chicken will make Sheldon [-]% fried. Even Leonard doesn't understand it, but the specific reason is Whether it's because of the recipe, or his dissatisfaction with Penny's "new boss of Huahua Company", no one knows.

Penny tried to convince him, "I swear, you will never be disappointed with the amazing Chinese buns."

"Then choose the Chinese buns you mentioned first." Sheldon said quickly.

To be honest, he is so talkative today that it makes people wonder if he took the wrong expired antibiotics.

Penny walked to the back kitchen, Leonard looked at his roommate, "It turns out that losing your job will make your Asperger's syndrome and obsessive-compulsive disorder go away?"

Sheldon didn't even look at him, but looked in the direction of the kitchen with an inexplicable anxiety, more serious than when he was fired by the department head Gablehouse.

Leonard finally noticed his anomaly, but was about to ask, but was interrupted by Penny who came with Suzhou soup dumplings, "You guys are lucky, this cage has just been freshly baked."

Two Caltech physicists looked at the steamer steaming in front of them——

The snow-white and crystal-clear skin of the soup dumpling is as thin as paper, with delicate wrinkles. The soup dumpling is plump and round, almost transparent, and you can even see the rich soup inside shaking, with a sense of delicacy that can be broken by blowing bombs.

Just looking at it makes people curious about its taste.

Petunia was busy explaining to the two neighbors the peculiar way of eating soup dumplings, "Pinch the folds on the top of the soup dumplings with your fingers and gently lift them up, put them in a saucer filled with vinegar, then bite out a small hole with your teeth, and then Slowly suck the soup from the small hole."

The two obeyed, and Leonard, who had tasted the delicious soup, greatly reduced his hostility towards Penny's new boss. This magical soup dumpling with thin skin and fresh soup was an indescribable and unique enjoyment.

"I think it's time to change restaurants on Saturday Chinese food day, what do you think, Sheldon?"

Leonard's reaction at this time was as expected by Penny, and she continued to ask, "Do you need small wontons? My boss said that these are the usual companions for soup dumplings."

"Of course!" Leonard couldn't help picking up another soup dumpling and putting it on the plate in front of him.

After eating one soup bag, Sheldon didn't pick up another one, but stood up and walked straight towards the back kitchen.

Penny and Leonard looked at each other—what's going on?Could it be that Chinese buns taste so amazing that he wants to meet the chef?

Sheldon, who is [-] feet [-] inches tall and has long legs, and the Chinese restaurant is not spacious, so he quickly walked to the outside of the back kitchen area, separated by a wooden fence. Through the gap, he saw a The thin and slender black-haired girl is busy at the cooking counter——

Her complexion is pale, and her half-Chinese blood makes her face different from the sharp edges of Europeans. The oriental face is soft and smooth, but her eyes are bluer than the sea water. It feels heavy.

The Chinese girl looks sly and smart, full of vitality, mixed with boyishness and girlish charm, as if she can easily make all human beings love her.

But Shelton knew how elusive this blue-eyed, white-skinned face would be when she turned cold, arrogant and arrogant, brilliant and powerful enough to achieve all goals.

Sheldon stared at this adult woman who looked as if she had just grown up, but was actually 24 years old——

This was the only friend he had from the age of 11 to 15.

Heletty Franken, who disappeared in a kidnapping case 12 years ago and was found dead by the FBI.

The author has something to say: Er is currently 27 years old, and Heleti is 24

The holiday girl is set to be a genius with high IQ, the kind that cannot be accurately measured by ordinary tests like ears

There are reasons for high IQ, which will be revealed one by one later in the article
