This time everyone around applauded.

"Oh, I don't know since. It's amazing that I have so much knowledge about chopsticks from Chinese people! I can't wait to try it."

"It is hard to imagine that the two simple wooden sticks represent the profound wisdom and philosophy of the Chinese. Orientals are really smart. It is hard to imagine what their ancestors have experienced."

"We Western people's thinking is practical first, and Eastern people are obviously different from us. They are no longer just pursuing practicality, but also on the basis of practicality, and have some spiritual pursuits and insights..."

People were talking about it, and Robert felt that he had lost face at this time. Everyone praised Li Huaifeng and looked at him with strange eyes. Some old friends avoided looking at him to avoid embarrassment.

Xiaoqing smiled and banged Yu Meiren: "Miss, this guy is so eloquent! I have always treated him as a fool before. Damn, are chopsticks so magical?! I didn't know before!"

Xiaoqing held a pair of chopsticks and gestured happily: "I have decided to eat with chopsticks every day in the future!"

Yu Meiren looked at Li Huaifeng in a vague way: "Wow, so handsome, sure enough, a knowledgeable man is the most touching."

Xiaoqing felt as if she had heard something extraordinary, so she put down her chopsticks and asked Yu Meiren: "Miss, what did you just say!?"

"Ah!? Ah!?" Yu Meiren put down her chopsticks with a snap: "No, nothing, I said I..." She suddenly gritted her teeth and said: "I said I will kill Li Huaifeng sooner or later."

Xiaoqing shouted at Li Huaifeng in the center of the venue: "Li Huaifeng, you are such a person, you are so sensible. I really underestimated you before!"

Li Huaifeng turned his head and smiled slightly: "Pig people born in the year of the year."

When Robert heard this, he immediately shouted loudly: "Oh, what guys who are bragging about Chinese civilization are actually pigs! Hahahaha, I'm so laughing!"

Li Huaifeng looked at Robert in confusion, wondering what was funny about this.

"Pig, pig! Hahaha, pig! Emma, ​​you Chinese are really enough. I scold yourself. I remember that among the twelve zodiac signs, there are people born in the year of the dog? When I went out and told someone, I am a dog, so I won't be embarrassed to throw it away!? I won't be embarrassed to throw it away!?"

Li Huaifeng said: "It seems that you have an opinion on the attributes of China."

"I have a big opinion!" Robert excitedly slapped the corner of the table in front of him, and the tableware on the table made a clanging sound: "In the West, the constellations are important. I am Sagittarius myself! Listen, Sagittarius, it sounds like a hero holding a bow and arrow to save humanity. There are others such as Aquarius, Capricorn, Gemini, and Libra... Each sounds so handsome, so romantic, so charming, and so poetic. What about your surname? Pig, Horse, Dog, Sheep, and even poisonous snakes and rats. I really don't know what your ancestors thought about when they knew this."

The people around him started to talk again.

Li Huaifeng looked around and walked over: "Don't show such a bad expression. Just calm down, let me tell you the reason here."

"The twelve earthly branches corresponding to the twelve zodiac signs in China, and the pairs of them are opposite to symbolize the six realms of reincarnation, reflecting all the expectations and requirements of our ancestors for our descendants."

Li Huaifeng turned around and said to all the guests: "The first pair! Rat and Ox! Rats represent wisdom, while Ox represents diligence. Diligence and wisdom must be closely combined. If we only have wisdom but are lazy and do not discipline ourselves, we will become cleverness; if we are diligent and have brute force and do not use our brains, we will become stupid. Therefore, the two must be combined. This is the first set of expectations and requirements of our ancestors for China, and the most important group."

People around him nodded and said yes, Li Huaifeng continued:

"The second group is tiger and rabbit. Tiger represents courage, rabbit represents caution. The two must be closely combined to achieve the so-called boldness and carefulness. If courage leaves caution, it becomes reckless, while blindly cautious and lacking adventurous spirit, it becomes timid. This group is also very important, so it is put second."

"The third group is dragon and snake. Dragon represents hardness and snake represents flexibility. The so-called hardness is easy to break, but it is easy to break if it is too hard; it is too soft and weak, and it is easy to lose its opinion if it is too soft. Therefore, the combination of hardness and softness is the ancestral teaching of our past dynasties."

"The fourth group, horses and sheep. Horses represent indomitable and progress towards goals, and sheep represent unity and harmony. The Chinese nation is a big family, and we need a united and harmonious internal environment. Only with collective harmony can we free up our hands to pursue our respective ideals. If a person only cares about his own interests and does not pay attention to unity and harmony, he will inevitably remain alone. Therefore, personal progress and collective harmony must be closely combined."

"The fifth group, monkeys and chickens. Monkeys represent flexibility, and chickens crow regularly, represent constant. Flexibility and constant must be closely combined. If light is flexible and not constant, no matter how good the policy is, it will not be able to gain in the end. But if you are just constant, like a pool of stagnant water, then you will lack innovation and will sooner or later be eliminated. Only when they are very harmoniously combined, on the one hand, have stability and maintain overall harmony and order, and on the other hand, they can keep pace with the times."

"The last group, dogs and pigs. Dogs represent loyalty, and pigs represent easy-goingness. If a person is too loyal and does not know how to be easy-going, he will exclude others. On the other hand, if a person is too easy-going and without loyalty, he will lose his principles. Therefore, whether it is loyalty to a nation-state, loyalty to the team, or loyalty to his own ideals, it must be closely combined with easy-goingness, so that it is easy to truly maintain loyalty deep in his heart. This is the thinking that we Chinese have always adhered to, with a gentleman's harmony and different mindset."

Everyone around was stunned. A simple zodiac sign actually contained the expectations and teachings of our ancestors. This was so magical and great!

Li Huaifeng looked at Robert: "I only know a little about everything in China. Whether it is food culture, tableware culture, or zodiac culture, there are many. Pick one out of it, it is enough to chat with you for three days and three nights. Mr. Robert, now, do you think your Sagittarius represents what kind of teachings your ancestors have given you?"

Robert couldn't answer because he couldn't answer at all.

Just a sign, it’s okay to do gossip, what are the loyalty, wisdom, etc.... what are the things that are all about!?

At this time, a foreigner came over. He was using his notebook to record while Li Huaifeng was speaking. At this time, he walked to Li Huaifeng very enthusiastically.

"This gentleman, I am Evans, the general manager of this hotel. Thank you very much for teaching me so much knowledge today. I used to feel that Chinese food is simple and not worth mentioning, so my Western food department here is what I care about the most, and I don't care much about the Chinese food department. Obviously, I made a stupid mistake. Here, I must apologize to you and all the employees of the Chinese food department."

Evans sincerely held Li Huaifeng's hand and said, "I saw that when you were speaking, the colleagues in the Chinese Restaurant Department were applauding you, and they were moved by you. For a long time, because of my narrowness, the treatment of the Chinese Restaurant Department and the Western Restaurant Department was unequal. Now I want to correct this mistake. From today on, the treatment of the Chinese Restaurant Department and the Western Restaurant Department will remain the same! Thank you, we will bear all your consumption this time, and I sincerely welcome you, and I will come here to consume often in the future. You are the most popular guest here."

Robert said angrily: "Evans! What are you doing!? How could he be the most popular guest!? He is just a garbage!"

Evans looked at Robert coldly: "Mr. Robert, I am the hotel manager. I have the right to manage and operate the hotel according to my own judgment. If you have any opinions, go to the board of directors to ask, and don't disturb the guests' meals here again. By the way, you are embarrassed."

Robert gritted his teeth and said, "The Chinese who are rude, damn it!"

Li Huaifeng walked into him: "It's not a slander. You keep saying a gentleman, but what else can you do besides pretending to be in front of beautiful girls and show that you are very rich? I believe you will pull a chair for a lady, and passing by the door will think of a lady as a priority, but this seems to me just a small matter, which is something that everyone can do. Ask your own heart, do you treat everyone the same. If you can treat a beggar full of rotten sores and the same attitude towards the beauty at that table, I will admit that you are a gentleman. Otherwise, in my eyes, you are just a pervert who cheats in front of girls."

"Okay!" Someone shouted and began to applaud.

Li Huaifeng said: "What Chinese people pay attention to is not the gentleman spirit, but the gentleman. What are gentlemen? A gentleman has six arts, etiquette, music, shooting, imprisonment, books, and counting! What is a gentleman's ideal? Manage the family, govern the country, and pacify the world! A gentleman pays attention to Tao and righteousness! It is indifferent to enlighten ambitions, tranquility and far-reaching! The Chinese people's pattern has been bigger than you from the beginning, and the Chinese people's qualities have been higher than you thousands of years ago."

Li Huaifeng patted Robert on the shoulder: "When you come to China to show off, your ancestors don't have the courage to do this."

The people around began to applaud the Chinese, and some Chinese people applauded loudly, and the scene was very lively.

Li Huaifeng turned around and signaled to everyone, and then went back to prepare to continue eating.

Xiaoqing and Yu Meiren were both happy for Li Huaifeng. Both of them felt that the foreigner was too arrogant, and always looked down on Chinese and Eastern people. Li Huaifeng did not act and taught him a lesson with his mouth. It was so satisfying!
