My favorite one is <em style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">The Legend of The Condor Heroes, </em>which was written by Jin Yong. Here, I pick up one of my favorite scenes in this novel.

"You consider me too poor to eat here?" the boy said directly to the waiter. "You mistake me. I fear even your best dishes would not satisfy my palate."

那少年发作道：“你道我穷，不配吃你店里的饭菜吗？只怕你拿最上等的酒菜来，还不合我的胃口呢。”

"Is that so?" the waiter replied. "We would be happy to serve them to you, but my real concern is, can you pay?"

店小二冷冷的道：“是么？你老人家点得出，咱们总是做得出，就只怕吃了没人回钞。”

"Will you treat me to whatever I order?" the boy said, turning to Guo Jing.

那少年向郭靖道：“任我吃多少，你都作东吗？”

"Of course!" Guo Jing said, and then turned to the waiter. "Another pound of roast beef and half a pound of mutton liver!" These were the finest delicacies he could imagine. "Do you drink wine?" he asked the boy.

郭靖道：“当然，当然。”转头向店小二道：“快切一斤牛肉，半斤羊肝来。”他只道牛肉羊肝便是天下最好的美味，又问少年：“喝酒不喝？”

"Wait," the boy said to the waiter. "First we will eat some fruit and nuts, four dried, four fresh, two sour-salted and four preserved in honey."

那少年道：“别忙吃肉，咱们先吃果子。喂伙计，先来四干果、四鲜果、两咸酸、四蜜饯。”

The waiter looked surprised. "Which fruits would you like?"

店小二吓了一跳，不意他口出大言，冷笑道：“大爷要些甚么果子蜜饯？”

"I doubt you serve anything of note in a poor little inn like this." he said, "so we'll have to make do with dried lychees, longans, steamed jujube and ginkgo nuts. As for the fresh, give us whatever's in season. And we want sliced, perfumed sour cherries and sour plums with ginger. Can you get them here? And the honeyed? Hmm. Rose-scented kumquats, grapes, sugar-coated peach and some pear, done in the style of Lord My Master."

那少年道：“这种穷地方小酒店，好东西谅你也弄不出来，就这样吧，干果四样是荔枝、桂圆、蒸枣、银杏。鲜果你拣时新的。咸酸要砌香樱桃和姜丝梅儿，不知这儿买不买到？蜜饯吗？就是玫瑰金橘、香药葡萄、糖霜桃条、梨肉好郎君。”

The waiter was impressed and was no longer haughty with the boy.

店小二听他说得十分在行，不由得收起小觑之心。

"I take it you don't have any fresh fish or seafood to have with our wine," the young man continued. "So we will have to be content with eight dishes of whatever you've got."

那少年又道：“下酒菜这里没有新鲜鱼虾，嗯，就来八个马马虎虎的酒菜吧。”

"What do the sirs like in particular?"

店小二问道：“爷们爱吃甚么？”

"Of course, they need everything to be explained down to the last detail," the boy sighed. "Petal-dressed quail, fried duck's feet, chicken-tongue soup, drunken deer tripe, pan-fried beef done two ways, rabbit slivers in chrysanthemum, flame-cooked venison and … pig's trotter in ginger vinegar. We'll take these simple dishes, I don't anticipate you have anything more refined."

少年道：“唉，不的说清楚定是不成。八个酒菜是花炊鹌子、炒鸭掌、鸡舌羹、鹿肚的酿江瑶、鸳鸯煎牛筋、菊花兔丝、爆獐腿、姜醋金银蹄子。我只拣你们这儿做得出的来点，名贵点儿的菜肴嘛，咱们也就免了。”
