On August 15, Weibo, the official of the US Embassy in China, published an Weibo that Locke asked netizens to recommend restaurants, which attracted the attention of many netizens. Many netizens recommended him to eat China snacks, but Weibo, the US Embassy in China, did not respond. On the afternoon of 18, 1: 30, Weibo, the official of the U.S. embassy in China, posted an Weibo saying, "Hello, Vice President Biden is tasting Beijing snacks in a snack bar near the Drum Tower in downtown Beijing."
Subsequently, the Weibo issued several Weibo in succession, accompanied by live pictures. Vice President Biden, accompanied by Ambassador Locke, tasted Zhanjiang noodles with his granddaughter. Biden is still warmly greeting other customers. ""Vice President Biden is introducing his granddaughter to everyone. "Vice President Biden enthusiastically took photos with customers and shop assistants. Biden went to Yao Ji fried liver shop. During the dinner, Biden smiled and had a good talk with everyone. Attentive netizens also found that Biden actually ate with chopsticks. At 2: 30 in the afternoon, the US Embassy in China sent another Weibo to summarize the consumption of this meal. "Today, Vice President Biden and other five people ordered five bowls of Zhajiang noodles, 10 steamed stuffed bun, mixed cucumber, cold yam, cold shredded potatoes and coke. The total cost is 79 yuan. Vice President Biden told the shopkeeper at the checkout, which brought you a lot of inconvenience. He took out 100 yuan to settle the bill, and the rest was tipped according to American custom. " Yao Yan, female, the second generation descendant of Yaoji Fried Liver Store.
Yao Yan said that at noon the day before yesterday, the US Embassy sent two people to the store to investigate, showed their business cards and photographed the situation in the store, but they didn't say Biden was coming, and they didn't care. Yesterday morning 10 or so, they learned that Biden would come to the store for lunch. "We have never received such a high-level VIP, and we don't know how to prepare." Yao Yan said that the news made them both surprised and nervous, and all the family members rushed to the store to prepare. I booked a private room and prepared brand-new tableware. After Biden came, he said that he would sit in the lobby, and the tableware was the same as other diners.
Biden took his granddaughter into the store, accompanied by Gary Locke, the new American ambassador to China. During the dinner, Biden also apologized to other guests and said, "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's dinner time." "They ate very well, and Zhajiang noodles were clean, and there were still a few buns left." . Biden took out a hundred-dollar bill, clearly indicating that the balance was 2 1 yuan as a tip. In the end, I couldn't beat him and accepted it.
Biden went to Yao Ji Fried Liver Store, why didn't he eat Beijing's special fried liver and braised pork? Yao Yan said that westerners generally don't like drinking water. Foreigners who used to patronize this store did not eat braised pork and fried liver, but loved spring rolls and noodles with dregs. Therefore, it is not surprising that Vice President Biden did not order fried liver.
On the occasion of parting, Biden took a group photo with more than ten members of the Yao family and their buddies. Yao Yan's farewell speech to Biden was: I wish the two countries more prosperity and the two peoples happiness and well-being. Yao Yan said that Biden responded that "you are an excellent diplomat" and left by car. The whole meal time is only more than 20 minutes. After Biden left, Tang Shiceng, a well-known journalist, took a group of photos at Yao Ji Fried Liver Store, and diners lined up. Tang Shiceng said in his blog, "In the afternoon, the store caught fire and the small restaurant was crowded with customers."
