Chapter 634: What to eat for your birthday?
"What is this?" Heath was a little curious. He had never seen such a thing before. It looked like a button, but it was bigger than a button and looked very dazzling. This made Heath's heart full of curiosity. He really wanted to know what this thing was.
However, the workmanship of this thing is really good, it looks golden, and there is a gem-like thing in the middle, which looks very luxurious. If this is really an expensive luxury item, Heath thinks it should not be a problem to sell it for tens of thousands. If the gem is also real, then the value will be even more outrageous. However, Heath thinks that Shirona should not give him such an outrageous thing, so Heath is still very calm.
"This is a collar button." Sirona explained with a smile. Heath listened with a confused look on his face. However, after listening to it, Heath probably knew that collar buttons were something that was considered very particular. If he had to describe it, it was probably equivalent to two people wearing suits. One of them had a collar button and looked like an elite, while the other one didn't have a collar button and looked like a salesman.
Although this description is a bit strange, according to Sirona's description, Heath feels that the greatest use of this thing seems to be this, but in this case, Heath probably knows the purpose of this thing.
To put it simply, it means to make yourself look more stylish. Of course, if you put it in a more understandable way, it probably means showing off.
Heath's mouth twitched involuntarily. It was the first time he heard of such a thing. It must be said that this surprised Heath a little. Then Heath was sure that this thing must have been invented by some people who had nothing to do, or simply by those who wanted to be superior to others. After all, Heath had seen many people of this type in his previous life, so this was not a strange thing.
Especially in the European and American countries in the previous life, especially in a country known as the country of corruption, the "nobles" there like to come up with some tricks to deceive people, and then call them aristocratic temperament, such as the so-called aristocratic etiquette class. Heath remembered that he had seen similar news before, saying that a Chinese woman went to a foreign country to learn the so-called aristocratic etiquette class. She spent a lot of money and learned how to peel bananas with aristocratic movements...
At that time, Heath wanted to ask whether this banana was legitimate or not. After all, this kind of thing sounded very strange, and there seemed to be many problems if you think about it carefully. However, the most unacceptable thing was why you had to spend so much money to learn how to peel a banana? Later, Heath concluded that the so-called aristocratic etiquette was actually something that deceived people. For example, the so-called aristocratic etiquette might be to divide the simple three actions of raising the teacup - drinking tea - putting down the teacup into a lot of detailed requirements, and even some taboos.
Anyway, making anything cumbersome and complicated, and preferably making it so weird that others cannot figure it out at all, is the so-called aristocratic etiquette.
This is really boring. After all, the so-called aristocratic etiquette is actually the feudal remnants of the old world. In order to express their noble status and illustrious ancestors, they deliberately made it to distinguish themselves from other so-called ordinary people. In Heath's view, etiquette does exist, but those etiquettes are based on morality and respect, not so-called status differences.
"Thank you, Shirona... Would you like something to eat? I'm preparing breakfast." However, Heath still put away the gift with a smile. Although this thing seemed useless to Heath, it was a gift from Shirona to him after all, and this friendship was what Heath valued most.
As the saying goes, a gift of a goose feather from a thousand miles away is more valuable than the thought behind it. What's more, the things sent by Shirona seemed very expensive. Heath heard that in a , people had the habit of marking the price directly on gifts after giving them. However, the Alliance later felt that this habit was not very good, so they issued a decree prohibiting writing prices on the outside of gifts. Then these people wrote the prices inside the gift boxes.
Although Heath doesn't wear suits, after Shirona sent this thing to him, Heath felt that if he suddenly wore a suit in the future, he could take out this collar button. At that time, maybe someone would praise Heath for being a particular person.
"Hehe, then give me some breakfast... By the way, Heath , what do you usually eat on birthdays in your place?" Shirona snorted twice, then came closer curiously. Heath took a step back without any expression. When Shirona came closer, Heath felt a little nervous. The fragrance that came to his nose, and Shirona's cute face, became even more adorable when he got closer, which was really annoying.
"Where we are? Let's eat longevity noodles?" However, Heath still answered Sirona's question. Strictly speaking, there is no particular rule about what to eat for birthdays in China. In theory, you can eat whatever you want, or even go out for a luxurious meal. If you are short of money, you can also choose to have a bowl of instant noodles and an egg to solve your birthday meal.
But Heath still prefers to eat longevity noodles for good luck.
Longevity noodles. The preparation of longevity noodles may be slightly different in different places, but in Heath's case, the preparation of longevity noodles is very simple. The only requirement is the noodles. The noodles must not be broken. This is the basis of making longevity noodles. A noodle is cooked from beginning to end, and then the birthday person is asked to eat it all in one bite without biting it off. It is a blessing that the birthday person's life is as long as the noodle. It is a very auspicious blessing. However, it is really difficult to buy such a long noodle, so to make longevity noodles you still need to hire a special chef.
Of course, if you have cooking skills, you can also try to roll out a long noodle and cook it yourself. Heath can do it himself. For him, making a bowl of longevity noodles is not a difficult thing.
"Can I eat that?" Shirona was intrigued by Heath. She looked at Heath curiously and asked. Shirona seemed very excited and happy.
"Um... you didn't celebrate your birthday, did you?" Heath was a little confused. Are longevity noodles really that delicious? Apart from the noodles, everything else is pretty much the same.
