Chapter 38 Highway Service Areas
While flipping through the menu, she said excitedly: "Lin Fei, I really didn't expect that there are so many things to eat in the service area here, and the dishes are so rich. Not much worse than the Queen's Hotel in Cairo!"
"You don't know this, Weiwei, the service area here in Egypt is different from ours. The service areas in the country are all public and managed by the state, and the service areas in Egypt are all privately opened. And those who can open such service areas are generally very wealthy people. Lin Fei also held a menu in his hand, and talked eloquently with a smile on his face.
As a man who has lived for thousands of years, he has traveled almost the whole world before, and it is no exaggeration to say that there is no place in this world that he has not visited.
In fact, he himself has no feelings about travel, when you have been to many places alone, you will find that no matter where you are, it is just that the scenery and people around you are different. The so-called tourism is just a change of space and location, and traveling for too long will make people feel tired, and what we really need to change is our own state of mind.
However, Liu Weiwei is the person Lin Fei has been looking for for thousands of years, as long as Liu Weiwei is by his side, he will be very happy wherever he goes, even if he stays in one place for the rest of his life, he will not feel lonely and lonely.
Most people who like to travel are often people with empty hearts, and there is a very common phenomenon that all famous travelers are either single, or married very late, or they are married and divorced.
John Smith, a famous scientist sitting opposite Lin Fei, said intentionally or unintentionally: "The menu here is indeed beautiful, but you must not ignore a problem, the price is also beautiful. I'm sure Mr. Edward will only reimburse you for the price of a working meal, right?"
Edward said, "Mr. John is not wrong at all, we are traveling at public expense, but we can't waste too much. All of our funding at UNESCO is financed by people all over the world. ”“
"This time we rented a Hummer that was already expensive, but it was to ensure that the operation went smoothly. In terms of food, I hope you can save a little, and I can reimburse up to 100 dollars per person per meal. After saying a lot of official words, Edward's last sentence came out, which directly made Lin Fei drop his glasses.
This 100 US dollars does not sound like much, but it is actually a lot of money, converted into RMB, nearly 700 yuan. If this thing is in China, which leader dares to eat 700 yuan for a meal by himself?
As soon as they came out like this, they would be reimbursed 700 yuan per person, and even if the food here was very expensive, they could already eat well. As long as you don't order the more luxurious dishes, order a little pasta, the staple food or something, you can still eat it, it's very full.
But at this time, John continued: "If I remember correctly, only Mr. Lin Fei was invited, which means that no one else was invited, so he should not be reimbursed. ”
"Mr. Edward, is what he said true? Our meal expenses can't be reimbursed?!" Liu Weiwei originally wanted to travel at public expense, but at this time, the meal was not reimbursed, how could this be endured?
Edward licked his lips, lowered his head and scratched his head, saying, "That...... That's true, but I invited Mr. Lin Fei. Since a few of you are here with Mr. Ye, even if you can't be reimbursed, I can invite you to dinner in my personal name. ”
Originally, Edward had already violated the system by allowing Lin Fei to bring his wife over, and he was a good person, but at this time he decided to pay for these extra people.
"Mr. Ye saved me before, and the payment was on me. Don't rob me, Edward, or I'll be angry. Emily glanced at Liu Weiwei out of the corner of her eye, which was clearly a demonstration.
She wants to show Liu Weiwei her strength, she is not only beautiful, but also rich, and she must suppress her in all aspects, so that she knows that only she is the one who can be worthy of Lin Fei.
After all, Liu Weiwei is also a woman, how could she not understand the other party's approach, and said angrily: "Miss Jones, we are not poor enough to make others pay, husband, do you have any money with you?"
As soon as the two women talked like this, the whole dinner became full of gunpowder. John, who was sitting next to him, was already snickering, he was already a little unaccustomed to Lin Fei, because Lin Fei was not as famous as him, and he made a fool of himself when he was robbed before.
Edward, on the other hand, held up the menu in his hand and covered his face, he didn't want to get involved.
"Of course I brought money, wife, you don't have to worry, the money I brought is definitely enough to feed everyone. Edward, and Miss Jones, thank you both for your kindness, and I don't think I'm having any financial difficulties. Lin Fei was lying on the table, his chin was supported with both hands, and a smile was on his face, it was obvious that he was despised by these people.
It is no exaggeration to say that the last thing he lacks now is money, not to mention that the treasures he got from the Red Blood Dynasty have not yet been realized, just the money he treats people and has messy income is currently billions of billions.
That John didn't believe that Lin Fei could have a lot of money, and he continued to mock: "If you order all the pasta, you can indeed feed everyone, and you may not even spend a hundred dollars." Hahaha!"
After he finished speaking, he laughed unscrupulously, Lin Fei brought three bodyguards by himself, and an apprentice, plus his wife, a total of six people. Everyone eats a portion of pasta and then adds something else, and a hundred dollars is seven hundred dollars, and it is indeed enough to make do with it.
Liu Weiwei, who was sitting next to Lin Fei, heard this, her whole face was already angry like a little goldfish, her thinking was still relatively traditional, and like most traditional girls, she usually lived a very frugal life.
This John just happened to have her on her mind, she was going to order a few servings of pasta, and then serve it with some other cheaper and satisfying staples.
"Mr. Smith, unfortunately, I just don't like noodles. Give me one for this king crab, two bowls for each of the bird's nest, one bowl of abalone porridge for each person, and one for this tuna sashimi...... All of the things I ordered were given to me except for Mr. John, who was across from me. ”
The waiter stood next to him and looked dumbfounded, Lin Fei had already ordered tens of thousands of dollars of dishes in this moment.
When he handed the menu to the waitress, the waitress was stunned for a long time before she reacted.
Not only the waitress, but Edward was also surprised, and whispered: "Mr. Ye, don't be reckless, if you eat the overlord meal here, the consequences will be very serious." ”
Anyway, the sum of so many dishes is far beyond Edward's ability to pay, and if this thing is later found out to be from UNESCO, the entire United Nations will lose their face.
"You don't have to worry, these are just trivialities. Lin Fei smiled and said lightly.
Liu Weiwei obviously also had some blame, even if she wanted to eat better, she didn't need to order such an expensive thing, but seeing the ugly expression on John's face, she felt that the money was worth it this time.
John was holding the menu in his hand, and he didn't know what to order, he was indeed a scientist, but scientists were not rich. It can only be said that the living standard is a little higher than that of ordinary people, and he can only order some mid-range dishes casually.
"Mr. Smith, can you eat enough with such a little food for your stature?Pay attention to nutrition, do you want to lose weight?" Lin Fei picked up the pre-dinner wine and took a sip.
This kind of person can still be a scientist, and his bones are full of a kind of money-worshipping thought, and he doesn't have much money at all, so he even comes to laugh at him.
It's really ridiculous, but there are not a few people like this in this world, and there are many such people, even though they are not rich, but they are still laughing at others for being poor.
His face was already a little unbearable, John still insisted on his opinion, his face shook, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, you were indeed very chic when you ordered the food just now, and I hope you can be just as chic when you pay." ”
"Eat your meal, Mr. Smith, even if Mr. Ye can't pay, I'll help him pay. Amy saw the waiter bring the plate up, and said angrily. “
It doesn't matter if Lin Fei is really rich or not, whether she can afford this meal or not. Because she is very rich, as a well-known medical expert, she has developed several new drugs, all of which have been sold at good prices.
Emile Jones is a rich generation, which is also one of her biggest charms, but what makes her wonder is that if Lin Fei really has no money, why would he slap his swollen face and become fat?
After a while, the same food was brought up and filled the table. This is a stark contrast, John eats completely different from everyone else, or is not on the same grade at all.
The steak he ordered was indeed more upscale than the average person.
But the bird's nest, tuna, abalone, etc., which Lin Fei and others eat, are a little too shabby.
It took more than an hour for several people to eat, and after eating, John called the waiter over as soon as possible.
He even asked Edward to help him settle his own meals, because Edward had said that each person could be reimbursed a hundred dollars.
When Edward finished settling the bill, he couldn't wait to say to the waitress: "The rest of these dishes are all ordered by our Mr. Ye, and he must have been ready to settle the bill a long time ago." ”
Long Qianxue is not very old, and at this time, he can also see that this John's character is really not very good. As Lin Fei told him before, there are many people in this world who are completely different from their small world, and have completely lost their original simplicity.
The John in front of him, not only was he not grateful to Lin Fei for saving him from the kidnappers, but because of a little thing yesterday, he began to resent Lin Fei.
Moreover, even if Lin Fei made a fool of himself here, it would not do him any good.
The waiter held a long bill in his hand, squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Hello sir, it is a total of 56,400 US dollars, you can check the bill." ”
Before Lin Fei could speak, John interjected and said, "Mr. Ye, you have to check it carefully." ”
The expression on his face could be seen that he was completely gloating in his heart, he didn't think that Lin Fei would be able to come up with so much money, which was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of yuan.
"I don't need to read the bills, you can help me settle them. As he spoke, he took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on a plate.
The situation abroad is not the same as at home, most people like cash checkout, and it is difficult to see cash in China where QR codes are prevalent.
The waitress picked up the bank card and looked at it, and said, "Then the gentleman should come here and enter the password." ”
"This card doesn't have a password, you just go and swipe the card. Lin Fei sat there and didn't get up.
With the card in hand, the waitress hesitated and turned to leave.
There is another situation in foreign countries that is different from that in China, that is, bank cards often have passwords, but credit cards do not have passwords.
Because the credit card can only be used by the person in a foreign country, there is no password, but the bank card can be used as long as the individual takes it, and the password is generally set.
After a while, the waitress walked over, held the bank card in both hands, and handed it to Lin Fei, the expression was completely different from just now, there was even some admiration in her eyes, she bowed and said, "Sir, this is your bank card, I hope you have a good trip." ”
This is self-evident, there is enough money in that bank card to pay for this meal, John's face is very surprised, but he can't say anything more, if he talks more nonsense, it will be a shame on himself.
Amyle stood up first, with a smile like a nobleman, and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Ye to hide deeply, and he was still an invisible rich man. To be honest, although I can afford the dishes just now, I am already very struggling. ”
"It's a serious thing to hide, I never hid it, but no one asked me if I had any money. Lin Fei also stood up.
Most people are judged by their appearance, and who would ask others if they have money?
Amused by these words, her smile deepened a little, and Emily made a gesture of invitation and continued: "It's better like this, Mr. Ye invited me to dinner just now." In return, Mr. Ye went to the store there and randomly selected a few items as a gift from me to Mr. Ye. ”
Lin Fei didn't look down on the things sold over there, and he didn't come here to travel, so he just wanted to say no, but at this time, Liu Weiwei stopped him and interjected: "Okay, this is what you said, don't regret it later." ”
Originally, Lin Fei invited everyone to dinner, but it was already a big bloodletting, but he also invited this woman, and Liu Weiwei felt a little unhappy.
Now that the other party stretched out his neck and asked her to slaughter, how could she be embarrassed to refuse, and she had already made up her mind to pick a few very expensive things later.
"How could I regret it? Miss Liu is happy. Amy's face didn't change, she still had a smile on her face.
The group left the high-end restaurant and arrived at the shopping area, where the main selling is some local specialties and cultural items, a bit similar to the antiques of ancient times, but Egyptian antiques.
The shops on both sides are next to each other, which can really make people dazzled, and all kinds of bells and whistles tourist souvenirs are dizzying, but Liu Weiwei went up and asked the price, and they were sold very cheaply.
A very beautiful clay pot only sells for a dozen dollars, that is, dozens of yuan. After all, these are souvenirs, just think about it, if you sell it very expensive, how can you sell it.
People who come here to travel are all for fun, and they don't really come here to look for antiques.
But Liu Weiwei has always refused to give up, almost one by one, and the others are also following behind her drum.
"What's the most expensive thing you have here?!" Liu Weiwei walked to the front of a shop again and asked the boss directly about the most expensive product.
The boss may have lived near the desert all year round, tanned, thin, and said with a not-so-simple smile on his face: "Miss, are you sure you want to buy the most expensive thing here?"
"That's right, the more expensive, the better!" Liu took off her hat and fanned it vigorously, in fact, it wasn't too hot, but she walked too fast.
The boss cracked his mouth and laughed, revealing two large gold teeth, and he turned around and took out a very delicate box from it, took it out and placed it in front of everyone.
After opening it, I opened the cloth layer by layer, and there was a wine glass inside, which looked very thick and pure black. “
"Is this a wine glass made of rhinoceros horn?!" John, who had never spoken, suddenly widened his eyes.
If this thing is really made of rhinoceros horn, it must be very expensive, and as soon as something expensive appears, it will immediately trigger John's metal worship.
With two hands, he carefully took out the black wine glass, and the boss said with a serious face: "This gentleman is really very knowledgeable, this is a cup of rhinoceros horn handed down from our ancestors." But helplessly, now that the family is in the middle of the road, I can only come out to do business, if a few people like this cup, I can't bear to cut my love. ”
"Are you real?" Liu Weiwei stretched out his hand and took the black wine glass.
But she had never seen anything made of rhinoceros horns, let alone seen anything, just the texture on it, and the kind of lines that circled and circled, which looked like real rhinoceros horns.
At this time, the boss seemed to be very enthusiastic, took out a small flashlight, handed it to Liu Weiwei and said: "This young lady, you are very knowledgeable at first glance, you can use this flashlight to take a look, you can know that I am not lying." This glass is a real rhino horn cup, and it's hundreds of years old. ”
Regardless of whether the thing is real or fake, the store will first give the customer a handful, which is also a sales technique.
