Chapter 277: Coming to the Hotel
When I entered this "appointment" hotel, there were not many people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Guo Pingfan said: "There are relatively few people who eat at noon. There may be more people at night. Most of the people in this place go to the beach for barbecue at noon, because lunch is free for those who stay in the hotel. ”
Ding Mu nodded to show that he understood, and he and Xu Hening warmly invited Guo Pingfan to eat with them at the same table. Guo Pingfan wanted to refuse, but Ding Mu kept saying that the more people there were, the more lively the meal, so he sat down at the same table.
After sitting down, Ding Mu glanced at it, and most of the tables were empty. There are only three tables of people, and there are only four tables if you count yourself. And it's basically a table of two by two.
After taking a closer look, Ding Mu found that there was a table that was still an acquaintance, that is, the Hong Kong Island Xiaokai and her female companion who were sitting behind him in the first class cabin of the plane. However, the act chosen by Ding Mu is not close to that side, and the pair can't notice this side at all.
The waiter brought the menu, and Ding Mu looked at the all-English menu, and his scalp was numb, but he found that he could still understand it if he looked closely. In terms of ordering, Ding Mu has always been very assertive, he has always made his own ideas, he didn't ask what others meant, he ordered eight dishes by himself, and then asked the waiter to place an order, and the three of them waited for the food to be served.
While waiting for the dishes, Ding Mu took out the wood carving he got in the market just now and said to Guo Pingfan: "Uncle Pingfan, how about you take a look at this thing?"
Guo Pingfan took the wood carving and looked at it carefully, and said seriously: "The thing is good, but it is very likely that you can't take this thing out!" After speaking, he returned the wood carving to Ding Mu, and shook his head regretfully.
Ding Mu couldn't help but be a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't this a normal handicraft? Why can't you take it out?"
Guo Pingfan organized his language and said seriously: "I don't know the reason for this, but I've heard a little gossip." It is said that it was because of the loss of a wooden carved relic of a tribe.
The largest and most powerful Maori tribe on the more than 300 islands is basically the mother tribe of all indigenous peoples. During the War of Independence, they lost the sacred wooden carvings of the clan. It is said that whoever owns this holy object is their holy lord and the object of their follow. Of course, this is just a legend. However, the officials of the aircraft country have inspected any wood carving cultural relics that leave the country very carefully. A lot of things, you can't take them out. Perhaps the official especially wants to get this holy relic, and with this holy relic, it may be possible to solve the biggest national contradiction in the country. Regarding this, we can go to the Ancient Culture Museum of the Airplane Country in the afternoon, which has some historical and cultural display panels and some physical materials. ”
"Well, I love going to museums. Ding Mu agreed to this suggestion, and then asked curiously, "What are the characteristics of that holy relic?"
"Ahem, the matter of the holy relic is just a legend, a rumor. Legend has it that the relict was a statue carved from a small leaf of rosewood, and it was an unpainted statue. Therefore, any statue that is not painted cannot be taken out of the country in the airplane country. Guo Pingfan explained slowly.
Ding Mu couldn't help but smile dumbly: "And this exquisiteness, then it is impossible for me to take out the wood carving of the small leaf red sandalwood, which is basically consistent with the characteristics of the legend." If I'm going to take him out, wouldn't it be okay to paint him?"
Guo Pingfan shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, I don't recommend you to paint." Even if you paint it, you may not be able to take it out, but your good thing will be ruined. You should be an old thing. ”
"No wonder the things of Xiaoye Rosewood are so cheap in the plane country, it turns out that they can't be taken out at all. Ding Mu suddenly realized, and understood why such a cheap small leaf red sandalwood carving could be kept for so long in that kind of openly sold stall, "Okay, I won't take this thing out, in fact, I also bought a small island in the airplane country, and this thing should be regarded as the treasure of the island." ”
After speaking, Ding Mu smiled at Xu Hening: "This is what you chose, the treasure of Zhendao worth twenty yuan!"
Xu Hening gently stroked his dark blonde hair, brushed all his hair aside, and said with a shallow smile: "It has nothing to do with how much it is worth." In fact, the most precious thing is something that has meaning and a story, and it is not about how much it is worth or how much it costs. Isn't it nice that this thing has a story and makes sense?"
"That's why I use it as a treasure of the town. Its story is being created by us. Ding Mu nodded heavily.
Seeing that Ding Mu deeply agreed with him, Xu Hening took out his mobile phone and took several photos of this statue from several special angles.
As he spoke, the dishes came up, because there was no one at noon, so the dishes were served quickly. Ding Mu was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, and beckoned the other two people and said, "Let's start quickly, we can continue to shop after eating." I'll try this dish first, whether it's authentic or not. ”
Ding Mu picked up the chopsticks, tasted it and nodded, "It's okay, it's the taste of the south, probably a chef in southern Fujian, and some lard is used in the dish, so it looks more fragrant and the taste is okay." At this level, if you make Chinese food overseas, it's no wonder that business will be good!"
Guo Pingfan also nodded and said with appreciation: "Mr. Ding really knows a lot. I also worked as a cook. But even when I was a chef, I couldn't necessarily eat it in one bite, and I could still eat it with lard. You're such a foodie!"
Ding Mu smiled and said, "Eating delicious food is one of the great pleasures of my life." Come on, I ordered eight dishes, enough of them, let's eat them with our stomachs open, and eat more at noon, so that we won't gain weight. In the afternoon, we will play for a while, wander around, and we'll consume all this thing. ”
Guo Pingfan listened to what Ding Mu said reasonably, and he was not polite. picked up the chopsticks and shook off his cheeks and began to eat, but judging from his movements, this uncle is still very educated. At first glance, it is the momentum of being rich and having been in and out of many high-end occasions.
Ding Mu noticed this, and said to Guo Pingfan: "Uncle Pingfan, your experience seems to be very rich, in addition to being a cook, you have done business, you have learned to dive and fly an airplane, what else do you do!"
"That's pretty much it. It's nothing, I know a lot of things, but I'm not fine, it's okay to be a tour guide, and I don't want to do business. Guo Pingfan smiled and said, "I'm quite satisfied with the current life." Every day, we receive tourists from all over the world who come here for tourism, and of course, we mainly receive, our big Chinese. Life is less stressful, much less stressful than doing business at that time. I feel like this kind of life is pretty good. And the environment here is good, the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, in fact, it is more livable. The only flaw is that the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and the security in the city is not too bad. ”
Before the words fell, five or six people rushed in at the door of the hotel, all holding large knives to cut sugar cane in their hands. The leader said with bad intentions: "Hand over all the valuable things, rob it!"
