In a hotel near the Huangpu River in the magic capital, on the third floor, near the window, a man sits here, he seems to be waiting for someone, while aimlessly looking at the endless flow of vehicles and boats on the river outside, while constantly looking at his watch, just ten minutes, he has looked at his watch at least ten times, almost once a minute. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lin Quan's heart was a little anxious, almost half an hour had passed since the agreed time, Perona hadn't come yet, and she couldn't even get through on the phone until now, the last call was made to her when she went out and got into a taxi, and then now she has no news.

"Could something have happened on the way?"

Lin Quan just thought about it casually at first, and didn't care too much.

The security of the magic capital is naturally not as terrifying as that of the Great Paris, and the defense force of my Great Celestial Empire is still very strong, although the ability of the police to catch thieves is not good, but it is still very powerful to prevent terrorists from engaging in sabotage and attacks.

And it's still daytime, and Perona should be fine.

It's just that if she's okay, then why is she late?

If you calculate the time, she should have arrived a long time ago, the skills of the taxi drivers in the magic capital are not ordinary, time is very important to the guests, and it is also very important to them, because they have to run business several times a day, so that they can make money, otherwise they will have to drink the northwest wind.

So she's either stuck in a traffic jam or has an accident.

If she is stuck in traffic, she won't not answer the phone? Even she herself will know that she can't make it in time, and she will call in advance.

There are a lot of people in the magic capital, more than 20 million people are crowded in more than 10,000 square kilometers of land, especially in the central urban area, the population density is very large, so it is not surprising to encounter traffic jams when you go out, and even if you go out without traffic jams, it must be a fake magic capital.

But the fact that the phone can't get through is still too abnormal.

Lin Quan looked at the time again, it was already half past twelve, he was about to wait, and when he went out to find Perona, she actually came.

Perona came in a hurry, and a waitress showed her the way, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to find it.

"I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm really sorry!"

Perona said to Lin Quan with an apologetic smile on her face.

Lin Quan was a little strange, her expression looked a little dusty, even a little tired, and she didn't know what was going on.

"Are you alright?"

Lin Quan poured her a glass of red wine, she can't bring her own wine here, otherwise he wouldn't order the red wine in this hotel, the price is too expensive, not to mention, the taste is terrible, for a person like him who doesn't like red wine very much, it's a kind of torture.

However, most Westerners like to drink red wine, especially when eating in hotels, few people will order beer, everyone thinks that beer is slightly lost, and red wine is more compulsive, so they are all playing false.

Perona sat down, took the red wine he handed over, smiled slightly, and said, "It's okay, it's just a little problem, it's not a big deal." ”

Since this is the case, Lin Quan didn't ask.

He nodded to the waiter, and the waiter immediately handed over two menus, there are Chinese and Western food on the menu, and you can mix and match them at will.

The scale of this hotel is not large, but the dishes are very distinctive, although it is not as good as it looks on the recipe, but the taste is still very good, especially the chef here is biased towards Hunan cuisine, so it is very similar to Lin Quan's taste, Shanghai cuisine he is not used to eating.

Perona ordered a few dishes casually, and Lin Quan ordered a few seafood, spicy crab, spicy crayfish, stir-fried shrimp balls...... It's all crabs and lobsters.

Most of these things are hibernating in this season, and they are sold on the market, but there are not many of them, and most of them are artificially bred, so the price is not expensive, but Lin Quan is simply powerless to resist this thing.

Last year, Li Xiang brought some lobsters from Niamey to his farm, but Wang Gucheng made them into braised prawns in Qianjiang oil!

That taste, Lin Quan is simply fresh in his memory!

At that time, a few people ate hi, the lobster that Li Xiang brought over was not a crayfish, to be precise, it was not a freshwater lobster, but a sea lobster, but his sea lobster was obviously picked by someone else, and the size was much smaller than the normal sea lobster, but this small sea lobster was just right in Wang Gucheng's hands, and it became an enlarged version of the freshwater lobster, and he got a sauce according to the method of braising the prawns in oil, and then the taste, a group of people ate it unfinished, and even sucked their fingers cleanly, because it was too little, Lin Quan, Li Xiang, Zhao Cheng, Roy, Wang Gucheng, Azak...... There are so many people, such a lobster, two or three people are gone, not to mention that Lin Quan also took a bowl and grabbed a lot for Denise!

Because the crayfish were so delicious, he even had the idea of introducing a batch of lobsters to the farm's reservoir to breed, but later gave up.

Although the life of the lobster is very tenacious, the location of their farm is too inland, it takes several days to load and unload from the sea and then transport it, it takes several days by land, the temperature in Niger is so high, and the desert area is too large, it is too unfriendly to the transportation of fresh products, and the lobster can't bear it, so it was not done in the end, which made Lin Quan feel very regretful.

So after returning to China, he took Denise everywhere to taste braised prawns whenever he had the opportunity, and the two of them had eaten many times, but they hadn't eaten it yet, and they had a lot of fun!

Of course, good things need to be shared, so at this time he ordered lobster and spicy crab, just to share them with Perona.

It is said that in the United States and European countries, aquatic products are overflowing, and the American carp and crayfish are all making Americans unwanted.

These invasive alien species have no natural predators on their side, and they don't know how to get them themselves, and they don't want to eat them, so these things develop and multiply too quickly, and they gradually become flooded.

But if this were in China, Lin would have assured that such a thing would not have happened.

Everyone will know that China is a big foodie, why can China become a big foodie?

The main reason is that the food culture has been passed down for thousands of years, and another very important reason is that there are too many people in China. Even rats can be eaten, and those who can run on four legs on the ground will not be spared except for tables and chairs.

And how comfortable the Americans are, such a large area can be farmed, a population of more than 300 million, the food pressure is so small, and the cultural inheritance is only hundreds of years, except for barbecue and frying, what else will they do?
