Chapter 249 Picky Eater
In the endless sea, besides countless treasures, many unknown civilizations were also buried.These lost and unexplored civilizations have also attracted countless archaeologists to explore them one after another.
Xu Haibao, who was one of the treasure hunters in his previous life, has also heard countless legends about lost civilizations.Among them, the most famous ones are undoubtedly the lost continent and the mysterious ancient country Atlantis.
After being reborn as an ocean monk, Xu Haibao also became very interested in this unproven civilization.Perhaps the most interesting one is the prehistoric super civilization technology possessed by Atlantis.
Legend has it that in the capital of this vanished ancient country, there is a very complete energy system.As the core of energy, it is a kind of 'magnetite' that energy scientists from all over the world are exploring, but Xu Haibao thinks it should be a spirit stone.
From the existing archaeological data, some people say that magnetite is a hexagonal transparent crystal stone.After accepting the inheritance of the nameless pearl, Xu Haibao felt that the shape of this so-called magnetic stone was very similar to the inherited spirit stone.
If this kind of spirit stone can be found, for Xu Haibao as a monk, whether it is used for cultivation or formation, it will have twice the result with half the effort.Taking advantage of the company's temporary holiday, Xu Haibao planned to be an ocean explorer.
Even if Xu Haibao knows, although his ability in the sea is against the sky.But in the face of the same dangerous sea, his current cultivation is actually not enough.Xu Haibao couldn't dive into those seabeds as deep as [-] meters.
Xu Haibao, who traveled in a low-key manner, boarded the plane from Xiangjiang to the Atlantic island country without alarming anyone.Even if Xu Haibao wanted to walk in the sea, he knew that the speed of traveling in the sea was slower than that of an airplane.
As the plane landed slowly, looking at the city where the plane landed, Xu Haibao recalled the memory of living in this city in his previous life in his mind.Coming here alone this time is more of a pursuit of the footsteps of the previous life.
Guba, the archipelagic country in the northern Caribbean Sea of North America, is also one of the few countries in the world that implements socialism like Huaguo.Inguba Island resembles a crocodile, also known as the 'green crocodile of the Caribbean'.
When the plane landed smoothly, Xu Haibao, who had stayed in this country for a long time in his previous life, was not at all like a tourist who came here for the first time. He dragged a small suitcase, found a taxi and left the airport.
Like Meilijian across the sea, there is also a Chinatown in Guba, and the hotel Xu Haibao booked is not far from the Chinatown.For Xu Haibao, this visit to the ancient bar is more of a journey of refining his mind.
Compared with the Chinatown in Meilijian on the opposite side of the sea, the Chinatown in Guba seems a bit inaccurate.Many Chinese who lived in this country in the early years chose to leave in the end, and not many Chinese decided to stay.
However, as China's economy takes off and its national strength begins to grow, the Guba government seems to be aware of the role of Chinatown in attracting Chinese tourists.Under this policy change, the Chinese who settled in Guba also began to enjoy more protection of rights and interests.
In his previous life, Xu Haibao followed the salvage ship to Guba to hunt for treasures. The place where he spent most of his time was this rejuvenated Chinatown.There are many Chinese restaurants on this street, and Xu Haibao has patronized them in his previous life.
After checking into the reserved hotel, Xu Haibao was not in a hurry to go to the beach, on the contrary, it was rare to enjoy a leisurely free travel.Strolling in this capital city, I began to search for everything about this city in my memory.
By the time we reached Chinatown, it was almost evening.When he came to a restaurant with Chinese characters hanging, Xu Haibao quickly walked in.Seeing the waiter wearing a cheongsam inside, Xu Haibao felt somewhat awkward.
The reason is very simple. The waiter wearing the cheongsam is not Chinese. Although he has some Chinese temperament, Xu Haibao knows very well that he should be of mixed race, with some Chinese blood.If you can work as a waiter in the store, you will naturally know some Chinese.
"Hello! Welcome! Sir, what do I need?"
The waiter in charge of the reception saw Xu Haibao walk into the restaurant, and greeted him warmly.For those who open restaurants in Chinatown, receiving Chinese tourists who come to Guba is also one of the main sources of income for the restaurant.
"Hello! Dine! Alone!"
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment! This is the menu of our restaurant. Are you a Chinese who came to Guba for tourism, sir?"
"Yes! It's my first time here, and I saw your restaurant's signboard, so I came in to try it. Please tell the chef about these dishes. I want the authentic Huaguo taste. I don't pay for the one with extra ingredients. Oh!"
Seeing some of Xu Haibao's signature dishes, the waiter in charge of the reception was stunned and said: "Sir, the chef of our restaurant is Chinese, and his cooking skills are very authentic. I don't know what you mean by adding ingredients?"
"The meaning is very simple! That is, cook according to the taste of the Chinese. These dishes are Hangzhou cuisine, and the taste is actually lighter. You tell the chef what I said, I believe he will understand what I mean."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment? Regarding drinks, sir, do you need anything?"
"No, just make me a pot of Longjing tea! By the way, I have to use your chef's tea for brewing. I'm not used to drinking the tea provided by the restaurant. Although it's my first time here, I still know your chef. If it’s money, I can pay more!”
Accompanied by Xu Haibao's words, the waiter in charge of reception said curiously: "Sir, do you know our chef?"
"It has been famous for a long time, but I have never seen it! However, I heard from some friends in China that your Chef Tang was mentioned. I know that he is very good at cooking authentic Hangbang dishes in Huaguo, and he is also good at tea art. So come and try it out!"
Facing diners who made so many requests when entering the restaurant for the first time, the waiters in the restaurant were somewhat surprised.Fortunately, there are not many diners in the restaurant, so after the waiter walked into the back kitchen, he told the chef about Xu Haibao's request.
In fact, compared to those large hotels and western restaurants, most of these Chinese restaurants in Chinatown only have one or two chefs.In many cases, the head chef of a restaurant is actually the owner of the restaurant.
After listening to the waiter's report, Tang Xingheng, the owner of the restaurant, said in surprise, "Are you sure this is the first time for this customer?"
"Boss, he himself said he was here for the first time. However, he said that the Chinese who came to the restaurant mentioned you before, saying that you are very good at cooking these dishes. By the way, I don't quite understand what he just said about Hang Bang dishes. What kind of dish is this?"
"This is a kind of cuisine in Huaguo, similar to Sichuan cuisine in Huaguo. It seems that this diner should be from Jiangnan, okay! Go to the counter and get my tea leaves to make a pot of tea for the other party. After frying these dishes, I will personally Go and meet him!"
"Okay, boss!"
In his previous life, Xu Haibao and the owner of this restaurant seemed to be friends with each other.The reason is that Tang Xingheng has not lived in the ancient bar for too long, and Tang Xingheng was from Hangzhou before immigrating, and he and Xu Haibao can be regarded as authentic fellow villagers.
Secondly, Tang Xingheng's name is only one word different from Xu Haibao's best comrade-in-arms.If he hadn't known that Tang Xingheng was from Jiangnan, Xu Haibao would have really suspected that Tang Xingheng had any relationship with his old comrade-in-arms Tang Xingyou!
Having visited the restaurant more times, Xu Haibao is very aware of some of Tang Xingheng's cooking styles.In order to make the dishes in the restaurant more suitable for the Chinese living in the ancient bar and the diners of the ancient bar, when Tang Xingheng cooks, he will make some changes in the taste.
But for Xu Haibao, who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, he prefers to eat authentic Hangzhou cuisine.Even in the previous life, every time he came to the restaurant, Xu Haibao would specifically ask Tang Xingheng not to change the taste of the dishes too much when cooking.
Looking at the tea brought by the waiter, he poured a cup of delicate Xu Haibao and said with a smile, "Well, not bad! This is the authentic Longjing tea! Does your chef have time later? Can I have a chat with him ?"
"Sir, our chef said that if he has time later, he will come to meet you!"
"Okay, trouble! You go ahead!"
Coming to this seemingly strange but familiar place, Xu Haibao found that the nerves that had been tense after rebirth seemed to have relaxed a lot.No one here knows who he is, let alone his monk status.
You don't need to be busy with your career, and you don't need to think about cultivation.Xu Haibao enjoys such a leisurely life.Even if the tea made by the waiter was not as good as the tea he made, Xu Haibao still drank it very comfortably.
Looking at the quiet street outside the restaurant, Xu Haibao said thoughtfully: "Being a monk is noble! But being an ordinary person is actually quite good. Some things are precious only when they are lost!"
For many ordinary people, they yearn to have superhuman abilities one day.Waiting for one day to realize this dream, and then want to return to the life of ordinary people, I'm afraid it will be a little impossible.
Since his rebirth, Xu Haibao's career and cultivation have been greatly improved.Even if he tries to live a low-key life as much as possible, some things still cannot be changed.In order to maintain these, Xu Haibao had to cheer up to deal with those trivial matters.
Now that he sneaked across the ocean and came to this seemingly unfamiliar city, Xu Haibao seemed to have regained his life track in this city in his previous life.Tasting the familiar tea aroma in the cup, Xu Haibao's heart seemed to be much quieter.
Such experience and feelings made Xu Haibao decide to stay here for two more days.When the heart is completely quiet, it will not be too late to go out to sea to search for treasures and secrets.What's more, coming out this time also meant to relax, so Xu Haibao naturally wanted to relax.
After the waiter brought Xu Haibao's dishes over one after another, Xu Haibao nodded in satisfaction after tasting each dish.To use a bit vulgar words, that is 'still familiar formula and familiar taste'!
Seeing Xu Haibao nodding in satisfaction, the waiter in charge of reception also breathed a sigh of relief.For many restaurants, whether diners are satisfied with the dishes prepared by the restaurant will directly affect the business of the restaurant.
Nowadays, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Guba is increasing, and these Chinese restaurants are also very concerned about word-of-mouth publicity.It is impossible for a restaurant like theirs to advertise and publicize. The only way to win is probably the word-of-mouth of diners!
