Chapter 1329: Army hot pot

Lin Rui opened the doorway, "Get in the car, big shot. No one should bother this time."
After getting in the car, Li Yongzhu was silent for a while and said, "What do you mean by calling me a big shot?"
"I think this should be the literal meaning. The senior military advisers of the US military in South Korea have higher authority than your female president. Close friends who often play bridge and bragging with the US military admiral are protected by secret agents. Is it still a small person?" Lin Rui smiled mockingly.
"I'm not a big man." Li Yongzhu sighed.
"Modest." Lin Rui shrugged and continued driving.
"You must think that I will be proud of what you said." Li Yongzhu shook his head and said, "In fact, it is not like this. Turn around and I will take you to a place."
"Didn't you go to bed on time at eleven?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Sometimes people always do something unruly." Li Yongzhu smiled.
Lin Rui shrugged, "Well, you are the boss. Where are we going?"
"Since I am the boss, I will be the boss today and invite you to dinner." Li Yongzhu smiled.
"Eating?" Lin Rui looked at Yelena with some surprise, and Yelena was also a little at a loss, wondering why Li Yongzhu suddenly asked them to have dinner.
"Well, then eat. But I'm a Chinese. You should understand how picky Chinese people are about food." Lin Rui shook his head. To be honest, in his mind, the Korean cuisine here is nothing compared to Chinese cuisine.
"Okay, then let's go eat hot pot and go unlucky." Li Yongzhu said coolly.
The place Lee Young-soo took them to was a small Korean restaurant, and the food was indeed hot pot.
It's just that their hot pot is different from Chinese hot pot. When it comes up, all the dishes are in it. There is also a large piece of instant noodles, ham sausage, macaroni, luncheon meat, tofu, kimchi, green onions, mushrooms, vermicelli, rice cakes, and meat. Balls and chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, of course, are indispensable in the center of the red chili sauce. The ingredients are neatly arranged, just like a line.
Lin Rui tasted it. This hot pot has a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with onions and cheese.
"Come and drink some Korean wine." Lee Young-soo said slowly, "Do you know why I brought you to eat Korean hot pot?"
"I don't know." Lin Rui said with a drink.
"Because this kind of hot pot has a name, it is called army hot pot." Li Yongzhu smiled.
"Military hot pot?" Lin Rui frowned.
"Yes, this hot pot has a legend. As a special Korean dish, the army pot is a product of the garrison culture after the Korean War. The main raw materials are ham and sausage. These were once supplementary foods for the US military. It is said that the military pot is a product of the garrison culture after the Korean War. At that time, some of the food leftover by the US military was lost to the people through unknown means. Later, there was a master of Korean cuisine who used these materials to create stewed food with Korean characteristics. The taste is delicious and can be called a must. And began to sell, the army pot got its name." Li Yongzhu slowly said.
"So that's what I meant." Lin Rui nodded.
"But the truth is actually far more cruel than this." Li Yongzhu looked at them and said.
"Hot pot is still cruel?" Yelena frowned.
"In fact, during the Korean War, the supplies of American troops in South Korea were very abundant. Some Americans did not take it seriously and discarded them if they could not finish eating. The military also stipulated that the supply of ham and sausages as military supplies exceeded After a certain period of circulation, it must be automatically disposed of as garbage. Since there are enough edible items, they will be thrown away even if the shelf life exceeds one day.
At that time, the Koreans were very poor and hungry. The ham and sausage leftover or discarded by the U.S. military were usually picked up by the surrounding residents and cooked with kimchi, so there was army soup. It was later developed into the Dao army hot pot. "Li Yongzhu looked at them and said, "I, what you think of as a big man, often leaned on picking up these things when I was young. "
Lin Rui was silent and did not speak.
"My mother is a local Korean girl. She was pregnant without getting married. My father, an American soldier, is a complete bastard. He never fulfilled his father's duties for a day, and was just playing with my mother. I am totally An accident. Do you know what people called me when I was a kid—hybrid—kind." Li Yongzhu smiled bitterly.
Lin Rui took a drink and said, "It must be very difficult."
"It's not easy." Li Yongzhu nodded. "You can't imagine how much I paid to mix up to this day. My feelings for Americans are very complicated and I hate them. But I have to admit that I can't live without them. It's like this Legion hot pot, which is a shame. But between shame and survival, there must be a choice."
"What do you want to say?" Lin Rui looked at him.
"What I want to say is, I am a patriotic person. Perhaps in your eyes, I am just a man who followed the Americans, betrayed the interests of South Korea, deployed missiles from other countries' troops on my own land, and used this to show off as a big man. People." Li Yongzhu shook his head, "Actually I am not. I was only born here, grew up here, and will be destined to die in this place."
Lin Rui silently looked at the middle-aged man who was obviously a mixed race, without speaking.
"Everything I do is for the national interest. Even if it seems humiliating, I have to bear the humiliation. For many years, our nation has come here with such a difficult time." Li Yongzhu sighed, "I know the deployment of THAAD in South Korea. Many Chinese like you are dissatisfied with the defense system. But this is in the interests of our country. I tell you this, I just hope that these will not become an obstacle to our cooperation."
"You may have misunderstood, maybe you are a patriot. And I'm just a mercenary, mercenary has no nationality." Lin Rui shook his head. "You don't need to explain to me what you do. And if it's not that you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to explain to someone like me. It's like a person who is born bald, so he will avoid mentioning the word bald."
Li Yongzhu smiled wryly, "Maybe, maybe I think too much."
"In addition, as I said, we are a very professional team. The likes, dislikes and opinions of the employer have nothing to do with our completion of the contract." Lin Rui said calmly. "What kind of person you are, you can do it yourself. Whether it is a patriotic Korean or a Mossad spy, why explain to us?"
"So, what do you think?" Li Yongzhu raised his eyes and looked at him.
"This hot pot is good. But the food that comes from you, our mercenaries are obviously not suitable for this one. Otherwise, why should we spend our lives every day and just be beggars." Lin Rui calmly said, "However, just rely on what you said. , I will guarantee that you will survive this week."
