Chapter Twenty-Eight: Morning Tea

"Despite the small faΓ§ade of this restaurant, it is the most authentic tea restaurant on Hong Kong Island, especially famous for its morning tea, and only local residents of Hong Kong Island come here to eat. Xiao Rubing seemed to see the doubts of the two, explained with a smile, and then took the lead into the restaurant.

"Miss Xiao, you're here, the private room has been prepared for you. The waiter at the door greeted him warmly and then ushered them into a private room. As soon as he sat down, the manager on duty walked into the private room and greeted Xiao Rubing respectfully: "Miss Xiao, is it still the same today?" Or do you want to order a few different snacks?"

Xiao Rubing pointed to the two people beside him and said, "My friend is coming to Hong Kong Island for the first time, so you can serve all the most famous signature dim sum on Hong Kong Island." ”

"Okay, then I'll look at the order. The manager on duty, who received an affirmative answer, exited the room and took the menu and arranged the dishes himself.

It didn't take long for the snacks to be served to the table like a stream of water by the waiter.

The sums of morning tea were sumptuous to Xiao Yu and Su Qing's expectations. In addition to the shrimp dumplings, dry steamed siu mai, barbecued pork buns, and egg tarts, which are known as the "Four Heavenly Kings", there are also fried noodles, steamed pork ribs, mara cakes, black rice cakes, custard buns, sweet potato crisps, glutinous rice chicken, and other dim sums, plus several kinds of tea and porridge, covering a large round table, Su Qing and Xiao Yu were amazed, and their saliva flowed.

Xiao Rubing beckoned everyone to eat, and at the same time introduced Hong Kong-style morning tea to the two: "Hong Kong Island's morning tea has always been famous, but now the average office worker can't catch up with the morning tea time, and most of the people who come to eat morning tea are mainly the elderly." Morning tea usually starts at 5 o'clock in the morning, and at about 9 o'clock in the morning, the second round of tea drinking peaks appears, and the family needs to reunite to drink tea, and they also need to send people to line up in advance, otherwise it is difficult to eat this meal. However, in addition to morning tea, there will also be afternoon tea and evening tea, which will continue almost all day long, and you can eat at any time as long as you want. ”

"Miss Xiao is a frequent visitor here, right? I look at the attitude of the manager on duty, and I know that Miss Xiao will definitely not have to queue up for morning tea. Su Qing said with a smile.

"Not only a regular customer, but also a valued customer. Xiao Yu also smiled and patted his ass.

Xiao Rubing pursed her lips and smiled: "You can't talk about it, it's just that you often come here to eat, and the people in the store are more familiar." I don't dare to say anything else, at least there is no need to queue up. ”

A few young people chatted while eating, and soon lost the strangeness and restraint they had when they first met, and became familiar. And the topic of chatting has also extended from the Hong Kong-style morning tea at the beginning, and slowly extended to Tiannan and Haibei, talking about everything. However, Su Qing and Xiao Yu came to Hong Kong Island for the first time, so they naturally preferred to learn more about the local history and culture of Hong Kong Island. As a native of Hong Kong Island, Xiao Rubing naturally shouldered the heavy responsibility of explaining and eradicating illiteracy for them.

"Do you think that Hong Kong Island has a very short history as a modern metropolis?" Xiao Rubing said, "Actually, Hong Kong Island was already a part of our China as early as the Han Dynasty. ”

"I have learned about this," Su Qing hurriedly replied, "In the Ming Dynasty, Hong Kong Island was still an important coastal defense point! At that time, the Ming Dynasty government fortified here, mainly to defend against Japanese, Portuguese, and Dutch invaders. During the Ming Dynasty, there was also a war with Portugal here, and in the end the Ming army won a complete victory and drove the Portuguese army to Malacca. After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yu triumphantly.

Of course, Xiao Yu knew what Su Qing meant by mentioning the Ming Dynasty, and thought that he was active in the Central Plains during the Ming Dynasty, and he had really never heard of this southern Hong Kong Island, let alone been here. So I could only pretend to be stupid and say: "Your historical knowledge is really rich, and with your explanation, my understanding of Hong Kong Island has deepened." Well, yes, please tell me more about the historical background, and I'm in charge of eating and looking at the scenery, hehe. ”

A few young people chatted and ate like this, and before they knew it, they had almost wiped out the snacks on the table.

Su Qing looked at the remaining plate of fried noodles and a basket of xiaolongbao on the table, stroked her bulging belly and said with a wry smile: "I really can't eat it." Even Xiao Yu, who had a large amount of food, could only stare at the delicate dim sum at this time.

Xiao Rubing said: "Since you don't eat it, let's go out for a walk and eliminate food." Today I will take you to the most famous Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui on Hong Kong Island. ”

"Okay, I've wanted to go shopping for a long time!" Regarding Xiao Rubing's proposal, Su Qing raised her hands in approval. She has long heard of Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui, two famous places, which appear in many Hong Kong Island movies, which are the most lively and prosperous places on Hong Kong Island and the most representative of local characteristics.

As soon as a few people walked out of the private room, a young man came in a hurry, couldn't dodge, and almost collided with Xiao Yu.

The young man was arrogant, and when he opened his mouth, he scolded: "Don't you look when you walk, blind your dog eyes!" After scolding, he raised his head, his eyes swept over Xiao Yu and his party, and suddenly froze on Xiao Rubing, and couldn't help but be stunned, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile in embarrassment: "Ah, it turns out that Sister Rubing is here, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, haha." ”

"Huang Ziqi, you don't have a good class, what are you doing here?" Xiao Rubing sneered.

"Hmm...... This ......" The young man named Huang Ziqi completely lost his arrogance just now when he faced Xiao Rubing, but seemed to have a fear of this Sister Rubing, and stammered and laughed, "A few friends have morning tea here today, no, I came over in the morning without class." That, Sister Rubing, turned around to see my brother, don't tell him about this little thing. He looked at Su Qing and Xiao Yu, who were beside Xiao Rubing, and stretched out his hand and said, "These two eyes are very raw, are they Sister Rubing's friends?"

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, Xiao Yu didn't take Huang Ziqi's recklessness to heart, but when he saw that the other party took the initiative to reach out, he also reached out and shook it, introduced himself, and said with a smile: "We are friends of Miss Xiao, and it is the first time to come to Hong Kong Island, please take care of us." ”

The Huang Zi period said "oh", patted his chest and said: "Since you are Sister Rubing's friends, then you are also my Huang Zi Qi's friends." If you need anything on Hong Kong Island, you can come to me, or report my name in this area, it will still be useful. ”

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, thinking that this half-grown boy actually had such a big tone, could it be that his family was very powerful on Hong Kong Island? If so, why did he see Xiao Rubing but he was so disciplined, and even a little afraid? It seems that this Xiao Rubing's background is not shallow!

"What kind of boss are you? Beware of letting your family know and punish you for grounding. Xiao Rubing said angrily.

"Yes, yes, then I'll go. Huang Ziqi dodged and ran to another private room, suddenly turned around, and whispered to Xiao Rubing, "Don't tell my brother...... and then he ran away.

Su Qing smiled and said, "This kid is quite interesting. ”

Xiao Rubing said with a wry smile: "This is a demon king of the mixed world, and the family business is very big, but his parents are abroad all the year round, and he is only on Hong Kong Island with his brother, his brother manages the family's property on Hong Kong Island, and he is going to college here." However, he often skips classes, and his grades are also a mess. His brother and I have some friendship, so he also calls me sister. ”

"My family is too rich, and my parents are not around, so in this flowery world on Hong Kong Island, it is no wonder that I can't calm down and study. Su Qing sighed.

……

In the afternoon, Xiao Rubing took Xiao Yu and Su Qing to drive by Ah Zhong to take a walk around the famous Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui on Hong Kong Island.

Mong Kok is the most crowded area in Hong Kong and is a popular shopping spot for locals, with many shops and restaurants open all night. In addition to the commercial shops, there are also many traces of the past, and it is not difficult to find traditional shops such as old-fashioned cake shops, shrine shops, mahjong parlors and other traditional shops in the streets and alleys of the area, and there are some of the oldest streets in Hong Kong, and walking along these streets is the best way to find the secrets.

Tsim Sha Tsui is also located in the heart of Hong Kong Island, with gourmet restaurants and international boutiques on both sides of Nathan Road lined with tourists, and there are many shopping malls in the area, which is especially suitable for young people to shop and play.

Su Qing usually buys imported cosmetics and skin care products, but when she arrived on Hong Kong Island, she found that the cosmetics of the same brand were much cheaper than those in the mainland. Xiao Rubing is also about the same age, they both like to buy cosmetics, and the two have a lot of common topics, chattering along the way about which cosmetics work well, which skin care products are more hydrating, where to buy which cosmetics are cheaper, and so on.

Xiao Rubing, as a group executive, often does not smile in order to establish a sense of majesty, giving people a cold feeling, coupled with her ability to do things, she has always been a strong woman in the eyes of friends and company employees, so she has no good girlfriends. At this time, facing Su Qing, who was about the same age, fell in love with each other, and there was no barrier of identity and status, Xiao Rubing naturally revealed the essence of a little girl. The two chatted and shopped, and in half a day, they seemed to have become good girlfriends. However, when they were discussing cosmetics and clothes enthusiastically, poor Xiao Yuxia couldn't interject, so he had to honestly carry a big bag and follow behind his buttocks, as if he was a bodyguard for two women.

The time of the day passed quickly, Su Qing and Xiao Yu were still unsatisfied, and they broke up with Xiao Rubing very late and returned to the hotel.

Early the next morning, Xiao Rubing and Ah Zhong arrived at the hotel lobby on time, picked up Xiao Yu and Su Qing for morning tea, and went to Disneyland during the day.

On the third day, the group went to Ocean Park again. For Xiao Yu and Su Qing, everything is very fresh and interesting, and for Xiao Rubing, they haven't been so relaxed to play around for many years, so they regard themselves as taking a vacation, and their mentality suddenly seems to be several years younger.
