Entering the New Year, for Europeans, all celebrations end with the passing of New Year's Day, and it is time to return to normal work and life.

Father and Mother Lin have mastered some English, and although there may be some problems when going to restaurants or getting on the bus, they can at least go to the supermarket as normal, and they can also use their credit cards to buy and buy online, although the prices online are similar to those in stores.

The Yeon sisters still entered the laboratory and had clinical internships, without disrupting the pace, and as a result, Lin Yilong was liberated to Katie, who returned from defeat due to rain in the Bahamas. Accompanied by the latter, Lin Yilong went to the United Arab Emirates at the instigation of Ed to attend the international food exhibition there.

"What are you inviting me to the UAE for?" Lin asked.

It should be said that Lin Yilong did not like the countries under the influence of the Crescent Religion, and he would inevitably add bacon to his burgers, bacon to the Italian cream macaroni, and some pickled lard processed by the Yeon sisters for dinner. Coming here is undoubtedly a challenge to his taste buds.

"My guests tasted the truffle sauce you offered and really wanted to meet you. Ed had gone through a very busy Christmas holiday, and his particularly pale face indicated that his health was not very good, "It just so happens that the booth space I rented is not too full, so I specially brought you out to make up for it." ”

Lin Yilong frowned, as the most heavyweight exhibition in the food industry in the Middle East, the cost of participating in the Dubai Food Exhibition is not low, and the exhibition held in wealthy regions such as Qatar and the United Arab Emirates is almost an inch of land, Lin Yilong does not think that his relationship with Ed can allow him to provide such good conditions for himself.

In addition, his truffles were all fixed, and Mr. Tewvan's Leedz Hotel took most of them, and the rest was sent by Ed for distribution, and some were left at home by Lin Yilong himself and made into truffle sauce. According to Ed's request, he brought two boxes of himself, in addition, some saffron nectar that he didn't have time to sell.

When he arrived in Dubai and entered the exhibition center, the booth layout was much more than he expected.

At first, Lin Yilong thought that the Dubai Food Show was just some first-tier suppliers such as Dole Fruit or Delmont Fruit or large companies such as Unilever and Kraft Heinz, but this food exhibition is not like that at all, those companies do, only a small part, and the main part is where the so-called high-end and luxury food are located.

Ed's booth wasn't too conspicuous, nor was it too remote in the aisle, and the main thing on display was several kinds of cream cakes and desserts with edible gold leaf piping that he experimented with.

A man in an Arab robe appeared in front of Ed's booth, his eyes kept on Lin Yilong, who was dressed casually.

"Isn't this Yilong?" The short and fat man stretched out his hands to Lin Yilong and shook hands with him.

The Arab who Lin Yilong appeared to him was his former roommate at the host family, Ali bin Abdullah.

By the way, although Lin Yilong maintains affection on the surface, he doesn't get along with this Ali very well.

Ali, who was born in the Middle East, was very afraid of the cold, and his landlord, Mrs. Lund, was not heated during the day, according to the Welsh custom. So much so that Ali needs very thick clothes to warm himself up, and Ali is not very good at maintaining winter clothes, and his room often smells very strong for some physiological reasons, so Lin Yilong is not very reluctant to see him.

Compared with 8 years ago, Ali's figure is more fat, some of his tanned complexion gradually turns whiter, and after wearing a white Arab robe, it is a little too different from Ali in Lin Yilong's memory, so Lin Yilong didn't recognize it.

"Why did you get here today? Saudi Arabia is uncomfortable?" Ali is from Medina, and to get to Dubai, he has to cross the entire Arabian desert.

"Our family is a food retailer, and we want to come here to see if there is anything good. Ali replied, "So I saw you." ”

"It's an honor. Lin Yilong said, "What do you mainly want to see?"

"I don't know. Ali replied, "I'm just going to accompany my dad here to see and translate for him if needed." ”

"That's right. Lin Yilong nodded.

At this moment, an Arab dressed in rich silk appeared with two retinues dressed similarly to Ali's.

"Yilong, allow me to introduce you to Amar bin Yusuf. Ed interrupted the conversation between the two roommates.

"You go first, haven't you been here all these days. Ali asked.

"Should, but not sure. Lin Yilong replied, "However, it's all here today, if you're done, you can come here at 8 o'clock in the evening to find me." ”

"Yes, definitely. Ali immediately looked at the booth next to him, and then he glanced at Lin Yilong's truffle sauce on the booth.

"Mr. Lin. The man known as Ammar greeted Lin Yilong with Western etiquette.

"Hello. Lin Yilong said, "What can I serve?" ”

"White truffles. "I provide a supply of truffles to an important person, and if there is a stable and insured supply of truffles in some places, I would like to be able to negotiate business cooperation in this area." ”

"If you have a request for this, you can go and talk to Ed. Lin Yilong said, "I don't want to participate in such negotiations, and compared to the financial strength behind you, even in the season when white truffles are relatively scarce, it is not a burden." ”

"We're more focused on safety. Amar understood Lin Yilong's doubts, and he justified his consideration for such reasons, "Ed is very good, and I trust Mr. Lin very much, but we are still not sure if there are some people who will murder nobles for various reasons in the process, so I must be able to confirm the safety of this aspect, please understand." ”

"I don't have a problem, but personally, I'm not very interested in the business prospects. In addition, I believe that in order to diversify the supply channels, it is not possible for you to buy white truffles from me alone, as far as the sales of white truffles are concerned, there are no less than 20 truffle suppliers in Tuscany and Romagna in the two cities of London and Paris alone, and they are also private suppliers by word of mouth, which is not public. Lin Yilong said all these words in one breath, "Even if these are mastered, food safety is still very guaranteed, it is really not possible, it can be purchased anonymously." I find your calculations incomprehensible, and I would like to ask you what you are doing with me?"
