Want to eat fried liver, drum tower a turn.

The Yao Ji fried liver shop on the east side of Drum Tower has attracted the vice president of the United States, Biden, who is visiting China.

However, Biden and his party did not eat the stir fried liver and bittern flapjack in the shop, but instead ordered 5 bowls of fried noodles.

Until

Biden

Gone, "Yao Ji" did not understand the family.

Vice president of the United States

Why do they have a soft spot for them?

Visit a shop without sitting in a private room.

At 1:25 yesterday afternoon, the motorcade of the US embassy came quickly and stopped on the east side of Drum Tower on the road ahead of Drum Tower.

Even the roadside citizens know that Biden, vice president of China, is here.

Everyone thought Biden's destination was

Drum-tower

But the sharp eyed people found that the destination of the convoy was yao ji fried liver shop on the east side of Drum Tower.

About half an hour later, the motorcade left and the reporter then entered the shop. There were not many customers at this time.

In a compartment on the side, Yao Yan, one of the second generations of Yao Chai fried liver shop, told reporters about Biden's coming to lunch in the shop.

Yao Yan said that at noon the day before yesterday, the US embassy sent two people to the store to investigate, presented their business cards, took pictures of the store, but did not say that Biden would come, and they did not care.

At about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, they learned that Biden was coming to the shop for lunch.

"We haven't received such a high ranking distinguished guest. We don't know how to prepare it."

Yao Yan said that the news made them both surprised and nervous, and all the family members rushed to the store to make preparations.

Packed a private room, and prepared new cutlery.

"This is the private room."

Yao Yan pointed to the room where the reporter was sitting. After Biden came, he said he would sit in the lobby, and the tableware would be the same as other diners.

To apologize to other guests during the dinner.

At 1:30, Biden accompanied his granddaughter, accompanied by the new US ambassador to China, Luo Jiahui, into the store.

Yao Yan said that someone told her that in accordance with the American custom, the shop mainly greeted the doorway, and when she had just walked to the door, Biden had already come in.

"He is friendly, cordial and witty."

Yao Yan said, after Biden came in, he greeted the other guests warmly.

Because of the language barrier, Biden used body movements more frequently, patting his shoulders, shaking hands, and the guests applauded.

During the dinner, Biden apologized to the other guests and said, "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's time to eat."

After simultaneous interpretation, the diners responded "no matter".

Biden also deliberately sat next to another table, so that everyone thought he was going to have dinner together. Biden smiled and sat back in his seat.

Biden did not refuse to take photos of the guests, but also talked with Yao Yan and others.

Yao Yan said that a relative in her family settled in the United States. After hearing of that, Biden asked where he lived and invited Yao family to visit him in the future.

Yao Yao's 9 year old Yao Yin gave Biden and others the napkin paper. Biden happily said "thank you" and hugged her for a group photo.

On the occasion of the parting, Biden and Yao family together more than a dozen people and a group photo, Yao Yan's parting advice to Biden is: I wish the two countries more prosperous and strong, and the two peoples are happy and healthy.

Yao Yan said that Biden responded to "you are a good diplomat" and then left the bus. The whole meal time was only more than 20 minutes.

No fried pork, 5 bowls of fried noodles.

Biden went to Yao Ji's fried liver shop to eat fried pork and boiled pork with Beijing characteristics.

Biden and his party ordered fried noodles, cold dishes and so on.

Yao Yan said that Westerners generally do not like to eat the water. Foreigners who used to shop in the shop did not know how to cook, stir fry, eat spring rolls and fried noodles, so it was not surprising that Biden did not stir fried the liver.

"They ate delicious, fried noodles were clean, and there were several stuffed bun."

Yao Yan said that the original recipes were originally made by Biden's colleagues, but when Biden ordered dishes, he ordered the final dishes herself.

A meal cost 79 yuan, Biden took out a hundred dollar bill to settle accounts, clearly stated that the balance of 21 yuan as a tip.

Yao long refused to settle the bill, but eventually failed to accept Biden.

"Why did we choose to go to Yao's restaurant," said Embassy of the United States news counsellor Bao Qiang, "we recommended several restaurants with Chinese characteristics to him, and finally decided to go to this restaurant based on the agenda and convenience."
