586 Coconut Carving
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”

The beautiful attendant spoke and bowed slightly to her sisters. She took the menu and turned to the kitchen to inform the chefs.

At this moment, another beautiful attendant walked over with a large plate and placed a few cups of coffee on the table. After placing them on the table, she smiled and spoke.

“Hello, this is from a guest over there. You can refill the coffee. Call me if you need it.”

With that, she turned around and left with the tray.

Most of the coffee in foreign restaurants could be refilled. This beverage was a habit, just like the tea in domestic restaurants. Moreover, it tasted relatively pure.
It was unlike some shops in the country that treated coffee as a treasure. Or rather, some people treated coffee as a treasure and felt that they were above everyone else by drinking coffee. This kind of thing was really ridiculous.

Others treated it as plain water. They took some coffee beans and casually ground them into powder. They poured water over the coffee beans or distilled them with tools. They made a large vat at a time. Sometimes, no one drank it. At night, when they closed the shop, they had to pour away a large bucket of coffee. However, some people with cerebral thrombosis treated it as capital to show off and proof of their status. Wasn’t this ridiculous?

However, this was actually the same both domestically and overseas. Some people in China treated coffee as a treasure, and many people overseas treated Chinese tea as a treasure because they didn’t have it. Or rather, it was rare to have such a thing. No one around them had such a thing.

When one’s friends came, they would take out tea leaves and brew a cup. Then, they would show off with their friends and say that they imported it from China. In China, only the elites of the upper echelons could drink this drink. It was very nutritious and very good.

At this point, they couldn’t help but think of a foreigner showing off with his friend and eating instant noodles. He said that he had eaten it once when he was on a business trip to China. This was a luxury item that only the upper echelons could afford. Later, the production team told him the truth and he died of embarrassment on the spot.

He did not have the dignity to face his old friend and fellow villagers. It would be the same if it was someone from China.

This was called ersatz exoticism. People from different places had different cultural characteristics. One could praise them for their good things and praise some of their right things.

However, one could not forget their roots after coming into contact with foreign things. They could not brag about foreign things and belittle their own things to increase the value of their nonsense. This was a classic case of cerebral palsy.

No matter where one was from, no matter what cultural collisions or cleansing one went through, and no matter what knowledge one received, one could not forget one’s roots.

Wherever the roots were, they would be there for the rest of their lives. No matter where one was, their roots would never change. This was a memory that flowed into their bones.

When the sisters heard the attendant say that the coffee was from a customer over there, they stuck their heads out and looked over.

There was a handsome young man with golden hair sitting there. He looked a little like a prince. His eyes were as blue as the sea, clear and bright.

At this moment, the handsome young man was eating steak and drinking red wine. When he noticed the sisters’ gazes, he looked over and nodded respectfully, his eyes filled with reverence.

The sisters didn’t think too much about it. They retracted their gazes and sighed as they looked at the coffee.

“Damn, it’s quite embarrassing for people to send gifts every day during our meals.”

“Who asked us to be so beautiful? Hehehe, take it and drink it. It would be a waste not to drink it.”

“I don’t dare to drink it. Who knows what’s in it? Although it’s a token of appreciation, it’s better to be careful.”

“You’re too cautious, Big Sister. There are so many of us. What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t you think so, Little Brother?”

“This isn’t called being cautious. This is called experience. Think about it. I’ve experienced so many things in the workplace, so many social events, and seen all kinds of ugly things. That’s only in China, let alone overseas. It’s better to be careful when we’re outside.”

“Big Sister makes sense. Fifth Sister, let’s be careful. If you want to drink, just order some yourself.”

The sisters discussed the cups of coffee with grim expressions.

Ye Xuan thought so too. Although it was a token of appreciation, they still had to pay attention to many things, especially if they were girls.

After all, there were so many obedient and pure girls in the country. In such a strict social environment, many girls were harmed everyday by overseas influence, let alone if they were overseas. There were many people, but it was useless and meaningless.

While the sisters were discussing, the three girls looked at the blond foreign handsome young man with infatuation. After looking at him for a while, they stood up and walked to the counter. They ordered a cup of coffee, a glass of red wine, and a glass of milk from the attendant. The three of them each walked over with a glass. They smiled and sat in front of the foreign handsome young man, chatting with him.

Seeing this, the sisters sweated and smiled. They looked at each other and smiled without saying anything.

At this moment, Ye Xuan glanced at the coconut that he had finished drinking and didn’t notice that he had actually carried the coconut in. The coconuts in his sisters’ hands were also brought in and placed on the table at the side, but they hadn’t finished drinking.

Anyway, the dishes would only arrive after a while. Since he had nothing to do, Ye Xuan carried his finished coconut over and picked up the knife on the plate to start carving the coconut.

First, he cut off the hard coconut shell one by one, revealing the coconut meat inside. Then, he used a knife to cut and carve the coconut meat accurately. His movements were smooth and fluid, and every cut hit an important spot.

The coconut meat that he cut slid onto the table. After a while, some clues appeared on the head of the coconut meat. However, they did not know what it was now. It just looked very exquisite and beautiful.

The sisters were all attracted by Ye Xuan’s actions and stared at his actions. Their mouths were slightly agape and their eyes were filled with shock.

At this moment, many customers who were eating around noticed Ye Xuan. He picked up a knife and carved coconuts in the shop alone. They were as curious about this matter as suddenly seeing a production team filming on the beach.

Therefore, they all looked on. When they saw that Ye Xuan could carve so well at his age, they clicked their tongues in wonder. Their faces were filled with shock as they whispered to each other.

“This child is so young. He looks like he’s only seven or eight years old. However, he actually knows how to carve. Moreover, he’s carving a coconut. Is he sculpting something using coconut meat? I’ve never seen an artist do such a thing. Can you sculpt anything with coconut meat?”
