Chapter 667: General Liba
According to Hong Tao's experience, in general, all restaurants in tourist attractions have a very heavy proportion of eating environment, and the ingredients of the taste are light, and to put it bluntly, they are not very delicious. However, this 360 restaurant has slightly changed his original opinion, the dishes here cannot be said to be delicious, but it can be regarded as a decent French restaurant.
Hong Tao only ordered a French cheese soup, a smoked salmon and a speckled shrimp sashimi grapefruit juice as the first dish, and smoked rabbit meat with onion thyme, all of which tasted good, but the presentation was a bit casual. As for the dessert after the meal, he didn't pay attention to what he was eating, and let Su Miaomiao help clean it up, Hong Tao didn't like sweets very much.
At this time, the whole of Toronto entered the night, and the lights on each street and the lights in the houses merged into a line from one point to another, and then merged into a large area, looking down from the window of the restaurant hundreds of meters high, it was like the Milky Way in the sky. Especially in the old city center, the car lights on the road will still move, which makes the original orange light flow a little dynamic. In Hong Tao's view, this is a bit like what it looks like in hell, the fixed light flow is the crack of magma, and the rest of the moving light flow is like gushing out of the ground, slowly flowing in one direction.
"You want to learn ice hockey!? I think you're itchy with your skin, so go to Sergey and ask him to get you a ticket, go in and have a look, and then decide whether to learn or not." Those foreigners are all a head taller and stronger than you, and when they get together, they are a collision, and they have to be singled out from time to time. I went to see them once, and I thought they were more ruthless than street fights, don't think that you are tall and not at a loss in China. When you get here, you're an ordinary person in this figure. And it's on the thin side. Kuroko disagreed with Hong Tao's idea because he and Sergey went to watch an ice hockey game. Then it was concluded that this sport is not suitable for Asians to play, and the body suffers too much.
"Yes, how did I forget your eldest brother, Nina, don't you like to watch ice hockey? Why don't you ask Sergey to find a few more tickets, and let's find a day together?"
"I love watching ice hockey, but I don't like going with my brother's fellow Russians. But we couldn't buy tickets ourselves. People here buy it for a year. Nina was coaxing Oski to eat the last steak, and after listening to Hong Tao's question, she spread her hands helplessly, saying that she couldn't help it.
The first day of Hong Tao's life in Toronto was very fulfilling, first he found a breakfast shop not far from his home, which was the Mexican-style fries shop, and although the owner called to report him, Hong Tao decided to forgive him because he was a well-behaved person. Only when everyone abides by the rules can we get along. Then I saw a large group of men and women in swimsuits running in the cold winter, which is not very common, and it is considered lucky. In the end, I found something that I like to play and haven't played seriously. That's ice hockey. If you add to that the experience of eating at the world's highest restaurant, you will gain a lot.
Hong Tao will not be idle in the next few days, he still has a lot of things to do. For example, to get a health card, similar to a domestic medical insurance card, but also to apply for a credit card. I have to get myself a set of hockey equipment, and then go and find a coach or a training class or something to teach myself for a few days. lest you don't even understand the rules when you get on the field, and you'll be in a fart school team. But this money Hongtao saved, and when Sergei saw that he got back the big pile of ice hockey armor, he smiled and pointed to his own chest, telling Sรน Hongtao that he was a qualified ice hockey coach.
In addition, Hong Tao has to take the time to take a car test, living in this place where there are no people for several kilometers, and he would rather not have a house to live in than to drive without a car. Although Tan Jing, Nina, Heizi, Sergei and Ratz all have cars, Hong Tao is reluctant to ask others for help wherever he goes, he prefers the feeling of leaving when he wants.
Don't look at Hong Tao daring to drive without a license in China, but he didn't even think about it when he got here, the reason is very simple, the cost of breaking the law is different. If you are caught driving without a license in China, you may even be exempted from fines, and you will be fined. Even if you don't have anyone and it doesn't matter, that is, you will be fined, except that learning to drive may be a little troublesome in the future, nothing will matter.
But it's different in North America, where once you're caught driving without a license, it's hard to get out. Don't say that you have connections and money, the judicial system here is relatively independent, and many prosecutors are desperate to step on the rich and famous. Whenever they are caught breaking the law by these two people, they will be like a chicken blood, regardless of the fact that they will pounce on you and play with you, and by the way, they will use a microscope to check your life in the past few decades, in case it is found that your behavior was not proper enough when you were in middle school, maybe it is another accusation. Anyway, they don't ask for anything else, as long as they can sue you in court, then they will be famous, at least they can fight for several years on their own, because ordinary people love to watch this kind of plot, and it may be possible to soar into the sky.
Even if you're nothing, then your fines and penalties won't be able to run away, and this thing will be in your records for the rest of your life, and it's impossible for you to erase it. In the future, whether you go to find a job, take out a loan, or buy something, this record will play a certain role. For example, if you want to buy a gun for self-defense, when you go through the formalities, your history of driving without a license will be found out, and then you will be banned from possessing weapons, and you will be banned for the rest of your life, because you are a person with weak self-control, you can go to drive without a license, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not shoot at will.
This is still in the era of 92 when the Internet was underdeveloped, and if in a few years, once the Internet is popularized, the impact of your previous conviction will be even greater. This is also the reason why people in Europe and the United States attach more importance to the observance of public morality. It's not that they are inherently higher than us, but there are strict rules here that restrict them, and if they don't comply, they won't be able to do it, and whoever doesn't comply will be unlucky, not only now, but for a lifetime. In other words, the cost of violating the law here is very high, so high that some people who plan to break the law directly dispel this idea.
In this way, things like selling fakes, fake medicines, fake wine, expired food, and stealing copies are not easy to happen. Because the little money you earn with your conscience is not enough to pay the fine, even if you pay the fine, the subsequent series of effects are enough to make you completely unable to gain a foothold in this industry and even this society. This is the question of the cost of violating the law, which is actually a very simple matter, not whether it can be implemented, but whether it is wanted to be implemented.
Soon, another big trouble flew over from Los Angeles, and Han Yan ran over to celebrate the New Year with Hong Tao. Yes, this time Hong Tao didn't even practice ice hockey, and had to accompany her to visit the shopping malls in Toronto again, but this is also how it should be, people do their best to work for us, not to mention the problem of feelings or feelings, just this heart, it is also a matter of part. So Hong Tao didn't say a word, let him go wherever he wanted, let him buy whatever he wanted, his attitude was extremely correct, the standard was a follower, bodyguard and porter, and he almost prepared a flat shoulder and a bundle of rope to resist his shoulders every day.
The time soon came to the last day of the year, Hong Tao began to work early in the morning, making noodles, chopping stuffing, picking vegetables, picking fish, he was going to feast everyone here today, and not with gifts, but with his cooking skills. Does Hong Tao have cooking skills? It depends on who he compares with; if he compares himself to Han Xue, he is a second knife; if he compares himself with his grandmother and aunt, he is a bastard; if he compares with Da Jiang, he is not even qualified to pick vegetables; if he compares with girls like Tan Jing, Han Yan, Nina, and Su Miaomiao, he is considered a chef; and if he is compared with Kuroko, Sergey, and Raz, then he is a Michelin-level chef.
In fact, a lot of his cooking skills stay at the theoretical level, mainly due to the fact that he often went to restaurants in his previous life, and he can't cook something he hasn't seen before. The staple food he prepared for you today, needless to say, dumplings! There are many varieties, including braised salmon, garlic scallops, sweet and sour tenderloin, black pepper beef tenderloin, cumin mutton, kung pao chicken, spicy red skin, and tiger vegetables.
It's not that he doesn't want to buy yellow croaker, it's that he really can't buy it. There are so many kinds of seafood in Canada, but he basically doesn't know how to cook them. I'll steam a crab, the crab here is the size of Nima and a basin, not such a big pot. In addition, just buying these Chinese spices, he turned around Chinatown, and in the end he didn't buy them all, which made him very depressed, because the current Chinatown is far from what it will be more than ten years later. Nowadays, Cantonese is spoken in Chinatown, and there are not so many domestic spices, not even yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce, so it is no wonder that the food made in those Chinese restaurants tastes so strange.
Kuroko and Sergei are resolutely not to enter the kitchen, according to them, if no one cooks, they will order takeout, and if they have no money in their pockets, they will go to the street to beg, anyway, they want them to cook, no way! Nina and Yuria don't mind making a move, but the dumplings they made out are too artistic, and they are abstract sculptures one by one, so don't make trouble in the kitchen, go out and coax the children. Even went out with that Su Miaomiao, she was not as good as two foreign women, people can walk with all their beards and tails, she is good, the onion was not cut, the finger was cut first, and she left the scene tragically injured.
