After sending off the happy family of three, the dishes they ordered also began to be served, starting with Lafite red wine and appetizers of smoked salmon, grilled chicken and an Australian lobster.

The waiter poured a quarter of a glass of red wine for the two of them, said "Please use it slowly!" and left.

Zheng Xudong raised his wine glass, "Cheers to our meeting!" The two of them touched their wine glasses in the air, Zheng Xudong took the lead in drinking all the wine in the glass, and Lan Nina was obviously happy and drank all the wine in the glass. Then the two of them began to taste the restaurant's dishes.

Smoked salmon, salmon has a creamy texture and tastes delicious. Grilled chicken, the taste may be considered that he is Chinese, so it is very Chinese, and the taste is also good. Australian lobster because of the relatively large size, so the kitchen gave three ways to eat, one is fried with whiskey, one is steamed and eaten directly, the third way to eat is very touching, the kitchen chopped Australian lobster into stuffing and wrapped more than a dozen lobster stuffed dumplings to bring up. It seems that now the French restaurant can't resist the invasion of Chinese cuisine! But it's really the meticulous idea of the back kitchen, he just ordered the lobster, and the people came up with three ways to eat, and one is made taking into account his national characteristics, or it is a seven-star service!

The main course is silver cod with small shrimp, which is not fishy at all, and the fish is super super tender and very delicious! Then the onion with Kobe steak is medium-rare, although it is medium-rare, but it does not smell fishy at all, and the Kobe beef really lives up to its name, and it is very tender to eat, and it melts in your mouth. The oysters provided by the restaurant are obviously fresh and fresh, and a chef in the back kitchen first sprinkles some vodka on each oyster, lights it on the fire, extinguishes the fire after five to ten seconds, and then immediately squeezes the lemon juice, and the freshness of the oysters and the fresh taste of the lemon comes out at once. The chef also introduced that this oyster is best eaten now, Zheng Xudong didn't say a word after hearing it, he just picked it up and started to make it, and gave the chef a thumbs up while eating. And what could make him happier than praising a chef directly at the table. Zheng Xudong ate eight oysters in one go, and La Nina only ate two, one because she still couldn't get used to the faint fishy smell, and the other was, in her words, it was very strange to eat sticky in the mouth! The next main dish was pan-fried geoduck slices with broccoli, and the geoduck slices were fried until they were slightly yellow, and the fragrance reached the nose. The last main course is the Caspian Caviar, recommended by the waiter, which is one of the "Three Great Treasures of the West" (the other two are foie gras and truffle). The waiter explained that almost all kinds of fish eggs can be made into caviar, but strictly speaking, only sturgeon eggs can be called caviar, and the caviar produced in the Caspian Sea, which borders Iran and Russia, is the best quality. There are more than 20 different species of sturgeon worldwide, the best caviar is made from the black eggs of the Caspian sturgeon Beluga, Oscietra, and SEVRUGA, and the highest Beluga, which produces less than 100 sturgeon a year, and Beluga, who is over 60 years old, can make caviar. And today's caviar is Beluga of its highest quality. It is placed on top of five crunchy biscuits, each roe is one centimeter in diameter, golden red in appearance, full and bright in color, each one has only a small point on five small biscuits, and each biscuit has only ten to fifteen caviars. La Nina liked this dish so much that after she ate her portion, Zheng Xudong gave her three more of his portions, and La Nina blushed and ate them. The dessert is fruit cheese, the top row of fruits are watermelon, mango, pineapple, La Nina likes this dessert very much, and the restaurant also gave a dessert, honey foie gras ball, which is to dig foie gras into small balls like ice cream, poured honey on top, a total of two, one for each person, and have a unique flavor in the mouth.

For Zheng Xudong, the biggest feature of eating French food is a waste of time, a meal can be eaten for two hours, all kinds of knives and forks, plates, wine glasses, the waiter will go up one for a while, and remove one, busy people, and not full, no matter what dishes are very large, eat in the middle of a small point. For a physique like him, it's good to be able to eat enough for three people.

During the meal, La Nina introduced him to the features of the Burj Al Arab, which has a sky restaurant in addition to the undersea restaurant on the ground floor, and on the top floor of the hotel, you can dine at Hershey's with a view of downtown Dubai, and a bar on the top floor (Skyview). Bar), on the ground floor is the Asian buffet restaurant (Junsui), which is usually the easiest and cheapest way to get into the Burj Al Arab, and it must be booked in advance, and tours are used to get tourists in and take photos and tours. Otherwise, you won't be able to stay and eat in the hotel, and you won't even be able to pass the security check at the bridge outside. Zheng Xudong asked her what the price of the restaurant was. Breakfast is served from 08:00 to 10:30 a.m. for AED 180 (RMB 325) per person, lunch is AED 495 (RMB 895) per person from 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm, and AED 550 (RMB 995) per person is available for dinner from 6:00 pm to 11:30 pm. She also said that she and her girlfriends had come here before, but had never eaten at the undersea restaurant, and said that this was the best place she had eaten so far.

Zheng Xudong thought to himself that with the increase in the income of domestic people, more and more tourists come here, and Dubai directly opened an Asian cafeteria to attract people with average economic income to come in and consume. I also hope that in the future, more and more Chinese people will not only come here to dine, but also come to stay here.

La Nina continued to introduce as the host, in fact, the Burj Al Arab provides pick-up service, they have eight Rolls-Royce cars specially used for pick-up, as long as you book a room in the hotel, and pay less to enjoy the distinguished service of Rolls-Royce pick-up. And also provide helicopter pick-up, you can fly directly from the airport to the top floor of the tarmac, of course, this also costs money, 1,000 US dollars for four people charter a helicopter directly delivered, and the whole process provides air browsing services, just like when we came this morning. The difference is that we're free. After saying that, she looks very cute with pride.

And it also has a restaurant and bar in the sky, which you can visit at night, which is very beautiful. The restaurant is suspended in the air and enjoys a 270-degree panoramic view.

Speaking of this, the butler of the presidential suite came to them and said in Zheng Xudong's ear: "Mr. Zheng, the UAE Minister of Defense and the Emirate of Dubai, Al Maktoum, personally came to the hotel to hold a welcome ceremony for you, and it is almost here. ”

Zheng Xudong and La Nina had already finished eating anyway, and while talking here, they enjoyed the beautiful scenery here, and when they heard the butler say this, they got up and said, "Let's go and greet His Excellency the Chief first, don't let the family wait." Lanina also got up and followed the butler outside.

They waited less than three minutes for His Excellency the Chief in the conference hall provided by the hotel, when the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a man of about sixty years old, dressed in a black robe with a gold ribbon and a white turban on his head, walked in vigorously, followed by his ministerials at all levels and more than forty world-renowned media in the distance.

There was no need for anyone to introduce him, he came up by himself and hugged Zheng Xudong directly, and then said in stiff English: "Thank you, my child, I am Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai, the name is very long, you can call me Maktoum directly." "The chief spoke very kindly, but he looked very majestic.

Zheng Xudong said in very standard Arabic: "It was Allah who sent me to you, Your Excellency the Chief!" Although the people were polite, Zheng Xudong still did not call the people's names, and bowed in order to show respect.

Chief Maktoum obviously didn't know that Zheng Xudong could speak such standard Arabic, and he glanced back at his secretary, and his eyes revealed, "Your work has not been done yet, and you don't know such an important matter." ”

Seeing that the secretary next to him was cold, he quickly bent down and whispered: "I'm sorry, Chief Chief, but we didn't do our job properly." ”

The chief ignored him, but sat down with Zheng Xudong in the conference room, the chief sat in the first place, and said to him some official clichés such as thanks and gratitude, after all, Zheng Xudong saved them from a plane, not to mention the economic losses, just saying that Dubai's security status in the international community will decline, and the TV media below will shoot the whole process.

In the end, the chief said to Zheng Xudong that in order to thank and commend him for his heroic deeds, they made two decisions, one was to give Zheng Xudong the title of "Honorary National of the United Arab Emirates", and personally handed him a "UAE Green Card", which was printed with Zheng Xudong's portrait and basic information. And told him that he would take out this card to enjoy the national treatment of the UAE when he played here in the future, and as long as the UAE nationals had the treatment, he would have it.

In addition to this, the second item is to give Zheng Xudong some "insignificant" material rewards, after saying that, the secretary just now brought up a large cardboard with the style of a check printed on it, and the chief said to give him 20 million US dollars as a reward. After speaking, the two took a photo in front of more than 40 media outlets with the template of the check.

The secretary took down the cardboard, handed Zheng Xudong a real check by the way, and whispered: "The bank in the hotel can exchange and transfer." ”

Then it was time for the "last item of the meeting", and Chief Maktoum very politely asked him if there were any other requests, and he would try to accommodate them. In fact, everyone present heard what the chief said to be as satisfied as possible, in fact, he would definitely agree, otherwise it would be too much of a slap in the face of the super-rich man. But everyone, including the chief, knows that this is a polite remark, and it's best not to take it seriously!

But then nearly sixty people in the conference room heard Zheng Xudong say: "Chief Chief, I really have a small request, I don't know if you can meet it?"

Zheng Xudong's words made the entire conference room quiet, and even a steel needle could be heard...
