What topic should I talk about when I have dinner with an unfamiliar colleague?

"Today's weather is hahaha" is actually a very useful sentence pattern, as long as you pay attention to concreteness and sincerity. For example, if you say "it's raining today", it will ... fail once. The other party can end the conversation with an "hmm", but you can say:

"It is foggy in Beijing today. You can't see the opposite building now "(involving hot news topics), or:

It is really cold this year. I remember wearing a thin coat this time last year, and now I want to wear a down jacket.

2. Talking about food:

This trick is particularly useful at the dinner table, touching the scene, using local materials, casually associating, within reach, such as:

"Why is this egg so light today? It's not a fake egg, is it? Do you know that there is such a funny post on the Internet that teaches people how to make fake eggs? " (Food safety is enough to discuss a meal), or:

"Now chicken wings sell for 5 yuan. It's really expensive. How much was a chicken before? "

3. Tell me about everyone's hometown:

This topic is my favorite topic, especially when I am on a business trip, the local customs of various places are simply inexhaustible talk, and this topic can be used interchangeably with the previous "weather" and "food". My personal favorite trick is to point to a dish on the dining table and say, "My family has always called this dish head but many places call it cabbage", and then the name of this dish can be heard all over the country ... It is also useful to distinguish garlic sprouts, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on. Besides, you can also say:

"Although winter in Beijing is very cold, it is very sad for me to have heating in winter" (I remember a joke that collective heating in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai and the north is the two major factors affecting national unity), or:

"I like eating bamboo shoots best. My home is full of wild bamboo shoots, and Beijing's is not delicious "(this topic can easily become" my home has delicious food but not here ").
