I am a freeloader in the anime world

Chapter 439 Cultural Differences (1)

“Is this the noodles you cooked?”

Sitting at the dinner table, Fenghama and Hua's eyes involuntarily fell on the bowl of so-called "noodles" brought by Su Yang.

However, the scene before one's eyes makes one wonder, is this really noodles?

Because from the appearance, it looks more like a ball of unprocessed flour that has been randomly kneaded and piled randomly in a bowl.

The surface of the dough had no oiliness or even the moisture of the soup, just like a piece of raw dough forgotten in a corner.

I should have thought of it earlier.

What’s even more surprising is that the soup base of this bowl of noodles is so clear that you can almost see the bottom, without a trace of oil or color, just like a bowl of boiled water that has been filtered countless times.

Fenghama Hehua couldn't help but frown. She had never seen such a simple, even crude, noodles.

This bowl of noodles has no tempting aroma, no rich colors, and no mouth-watering ingredients. Its existence seems to be just to prove that noodles can be so simple and so pure.

I should have thought of it earlier.

Fenghama Hehua held his forehead with one hand and thought helplessly.

"But, for someone who has been wandering in the wild for decades, his cooking skills should be pretty good, right?"

Fenghama and Hua had some expectations in their hearts.

In Fenghama and Hana's imagination, a person who has been wandering in the wild for decades would probably not be able to survive for long if his cooking skills were mediocre.

After all, life is already full of hardships. If even the most basic food cannot be met, then what is the meaning of survival?

Fenghama Kazuka believes that food can comfort the soul even in the most difficult circumstances.

A delicious meal can not only satisfy the appetite, but also soothe the tired soul and give people strength and hope.

Therefore, a person who can survive in the wild for many years must have good cooking skills and be able to cook unforgettable dishes with simple ingredients.

In her imagination, this person might be sitting by the campfire, using the spatula in his hand to skillfully combine wild vegetables, fruits and captured prey to create delicious dishes with good color, aroma and taste.

These foods can not only replenish physical strength, but also make people feel the warmth of home in the wilderness.

Fenghama Hehua believes that food is an art of life and a wisdom of survival.

People wandering in the wild can not only prolong their lives through cooking, but also find the joy and meaning of life.

This love and pursuit of food allows them to live a fulfilling life even in such a harsh environment.

This bowl of noodles may just look simple, but maybe its taste contains the purest deliciousness, allowing people to feel the essence of the noodles and the freshness of the soup in every bite?

Toyohama and Hana thought so.

Su Yang naturally felt the strange look from Fenghama and Hua, but he didn't care at all.

Isn’t it said that Su Yang is confident in his cooking skills? Isn’t it clear to him what his cooking skills are?

It's certainly edible, but it's definitely not delicious. It's just enough to survive.

Su Yang didn't care because he didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

After all, his reputation in Sobu High School is terrible. If he pays attention to other people's eyes, will he still be able to survive?

When Fenghama and Hua realized that Su Yang didn't care about their gaze, their original suspicion that this noodle was just ugly but definitely tasted good became a little more certain.

In Fenghama Hehua's opinion, only if you have confidence in yourself will you not care about other people's eyes.

Thus, a misunderstanding occurred, and Toyohama and Hana suffered the consequences.

"It tastes so bad!"

Fenghama and Hua took a mouthful of the noodles and spit it out directly.

"How can it be so unpalatable? It's so different from what my sister cooks."

Fenghama and Hana complained mercilessly.

"If you don't want to eat it, give it to me. Don't waste food."

Su Yang grabbed the noodles he had cooked and started eating them without any disgust on his face.

"You have lived too many comfortable days and don't know how hard life is!"

Su Yang criticized Fenghama and Hua mercilessly.

Although Su Yang's cooking skills are not as sophisticated as those of professional chefs, they also have their own flavor.

The noodles he made were seasoned just right and tasted impeccable. One could feel the care and sincerity put into the noodles when tasting them, but that was all.

Although the noodles were clumpy and affected the taste, this small imperfection did not overshadow the deliciousness of the food itself.

In the eyes of wanderers or people living in poor countries, such a bowl of noodles is undoubtedly a rare delicacy, enough to cause a scramble and become a little happiness in their hearts.

However, for people living in a comfortable environment, this bowl of noodles may not be so attractive.

They may hesitate because of the appearance and taste of the noodles, or even ignore its existence altogether.

But this does not mean that the bowl of noodles has no value, it just does not meet their expectations and standards of fine food.

In their eyes, "edible, but not necessary", this may be the most pertinent evaluation of Su Yang's bowl of noodles.

Su Yang was eating noodles while Feng Bang and Hua were looking at him.

To be precise, Fenghama and Hua were looking at the chopsticks in Su Yang's hand.

"Indirectly...indirectly...kiss..."

Fenghama and Hua looked a little shocked and a little shy.

Su Yang's eyes inadvertently swept across Feng Bang and Hua's expressions, but he didn't care too much, and didn't even realize that she might associate this bowl of noodles with an indirect kiss.

This was not Su Yang's negligence, but a natural result of cultural differences.

Although he has lived in the Sakura Country for a long time, Su Yang still has the roots and soul of the Dragon Country deeply rooted in his heart.

Many of his concepts and perceptions were formed in the land of Dragon Country, which in some aspects is indeed significantly different from the culture of Sakura Country.

In Longguo, it is a very common sight to see two girls walking arm in arm on the street.

When people see them, they usually think they are close friends or sisters, and few people associate this with yuri.

However, in the Land of Sakura, the situation is completely different. Here, when two girls go out shopping, they rarely hold hands, but usually just walk side by side.

Because in the Land of Sakura, two women holding hands is often misunderstood as a relationship between them that goes beyond friendship.

This difference is caused by different social environments and cultural backgrounds.

In Dragon Country, small things like occasionally using the wrong chopsticks or drinking cup usually go unnoticed, unless they are those who pay special attention to details.

But in the Land of Sakura, especially young boys and girls, have completely different views on such things.

In their view, using someone else's chopsticks or water cup is equivalent to indirect kissing, which is a very serious matter.

If discovered at school, it is likely to cause discussion and attention from people around you.

This cultural difference is not only reflected in the small details of daily life, but also has a profound impact on people's way of thinking and behavioral habits.

Although Su Yang has become accustomed to the lifestyle of Sakura Country, in some aspects, his Dragon Country nature still unconsciously reveals itself.

This is not his fault, but a natural fusion of two cultures in him.

Of course, Su Yang acted as if he didn't care when using the chopsticks used by Fenghama and Hua. The reason behind this was not only because of cultural differences, but also the deeper influence of Yukinoshita Yukino, Sakurajima Mai and others on him.

Especially Yukinoshita Yukino, because she has the most contact with Su Yang.

After school, Su Yang often went to the Service Club. Sometimes he was so thirsty that he couldn't wait for Yukinoshita Yukino to make coffee, so he would just pick up her cup and drink up the tea in it.

Faced with such behavior, Yukinoshita Yukino never expressed any displeasure.

The reason for this, of course, was that Yukinoshita Yukino had long regarded Su Yang as her partner. Not only did she not protest against his little outrages, she could even be said to have acquiesced and accepted them.

In their opinion, it is normal for couples to share a cup.

In front of outsiders, they may still maintain a certain degree of reserve, but when they are alone or in front of people who know each other well, they will not have any scruples and naturally will not mention the so-called indirect kissing issue.
