You're not going to know anybody, but you're going to start a business because it'll be better for all of us if we do that.

You know, it's just, I don't know if the way that the, you know, like the, if the US mentality, like the things that we're good at, maybe create problems that make it very difficult for us to improve at things that don't naturally come.

You know what I'm saying?

Here's the deal.

There is no General Cao.

There used to always be this idea.

They basically took a Chinese food and they were like, we've got to make this palatable to Americans.

There's going to be people who have never seen Chinese.

This is the past.

People have never seen Chinese food before.

They're going to be freaked out.

So we're going to use chicken and we're going to make a sauce that's kind of sweet and kind of crispy and we're going to throw some broccoli in there.

Then there were all these kind of myths about it.

Oh, General Zhou was a general.

And when he would win battles, he would reward his troops with this food.

Or General Zhou, when he was fighting battles, needed an easy food to make to feed his troops.

You know, so that's what they ate when they were, you know, sort of out in the wild.

None of this is true.

And then even though General Zhou's chicken is a completely constructed Americanized food,

There's now sort of an issue over its authenticity.
