846.Taste of Hometown (5/5)

Listening to Steve's words, Li Du couldn't help but want to dig for his ears: "What, man, do you want to dig for gems? Do you mean you want to invest in mines?"

Steve shook his head and said, "No, it's mining, I want to be a miner." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Du swallowed his saliva, and Sophie, thinking he was thirsty, poured him a glass of water.

He pushed open the glass and said, "You want to be a miner?" I don't understand, Steve, I want you to be clear, what are you for?"

After saying this, he added: "I mean, miners are tired and have little to gain, how can you have such an idea?"

Steve smiled and said, "I need to exercise, the life of a miner is very exercised, right?"

Li Du said: "It's true that it is very good for exercising, but its work is too heavy, and I don't think it may be suitable for you." It is also very dangerous, and it has recently been the site of a mine collapse in Lightning Ridge. ”

"I'll pay attention, take me to see it, this time I came to the jewelry salon and I became interested in some rough gemstones," Steve said. ”

Li Du smiled bitterly: "If you want a rough gemstone, I bet that many people want to rush to give it to you, so there's no need to take risks, right?"

Steve's background and identity are very unusual, his physical fitness is not good, he has heart disease, Li Du does not dare to take him to the mine, otherwise he may not be responsible.

As a result, this man was very stubborn, and after listening to Li Du's words, he shook his head again and again: "What's the meaning of the rough stones obtained in that way? I want to harvest these gems with my own hands." ”

Li Du continued to persuade him, but he didn't listen, insisted on getting Li Du's help, and wanted to go to Lightning Ridge to have a look.

However, he lowered his requirements and just went to see, and now he may not necessarily go to the mine himself.

Li Du could only turn his gaze to Mr. Elson, who shrugged his shoulders and showed him a helpless expression, indicating that he could not help.

Steve saw the small movements of the two, and he smiled happily: "Lee, do you remember my screen name? Mr. Iron Steve, I have a determination like steel." ”

Li Du said helplessly: "I respect your determination, but if there is an accident, I will say the ugly words first, once an accident occurs, I cannot be responsible." ”

"Of course, I know what you're worried about, and all I can tell you is that I'm in a much better situation than you think," Steve said. ”

Elson also nodded and said: "Steve's heart problem is well protected, the last incident was an accident, as long as he pays attention to himself, it will be fine." ”

After he said that, Steve then added, "Why don't we go to the gym after dinner, and I'll show you that at least I have the body I need to be a miner." ”

This is necessary, Li Du really wants to be sure of this, he doesn't want to see Steve relapse from heart attack due to exertion one day.

Dinner is a rare dish in Sydney, Chinese hot pot, to put it bluntly, is the capital's old copper pot shabu beef and mutton.

Four Seasons offers a range of upscale private dining rooms that showcase culinary styles from around the world, with Chinese cuisine being a must-have.

Their room is not large, the walls are pasted with classical Chinese moire wallpaper, the north-south direction is vertically lined with Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain and pen-ink-paper inkstones, and the east-west walls are hung with landscape paintings.

In the center of the room is a large round table with thick legs, brown and shiny, like an old mahogany table.

On the tabletop, there is a traditional copper hot pot with a chimney in the middle of the pot and red charcoal burning inside.

The waiter brought a plate of beef, mutton and vegetables, and when the broth was ready, he added wolfberries, red dates and the bottom of the pot to it, signaling that it was ready to eat.

This copper hot pot is very particular, Li Du paid attention to it, the outer wall of the copper pot is cloisonnΓ© texture, and there are peony flowers carved on it, which is red and purple, and it is very festive.

One of the places on the table stands beer, so that the beer is combined with hot pot, the taste of authentic Chinese capital cuisine.

What's more authentic is that there is an oxtail in the pot, and there are all kinds of beef and mutton on the table, such as pink mutton upper brain, dark red upper brain fat cow, brown tripe, brown duck blood, and so on.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Li Du smiled and said: "Since I left China, I have rarely eaten such authentic hot pot, thank you for your hospitality." ”

Steve raised his glass and said, "I can't take credit, this is Uncle Elson's masterpiece, let's toast him." ”

Elson nodded and smiled in a low-key manner, and accompanied a few people to have a beer.

The hot pot began to boil, Li Du picked up the thin slices of meat and soaked them in the pot, then put them in Sophie's small plate and whispered: "Don't match any seasonings, eat the umami of the meat first." ”

Australia produces the world's top beef and mutton, and we all know that Japanese Wagyu beef is famous, in fact, Australia also has Wagyu beef, and the meat quality is not inferior to Japanese Wagyu, but the reputation is slightly inferior.

Naturally, the beef on this table is made from Wagyu beef, and the mutton is also carefully raised by high-end pastures.

The beef and mutton are tender and fragrant, and with the sauce made of sesame sauce and leek sauce, Li Du eats heartily.

Because they had to go to the gym later, they didn't drink much, but at first everyone touched each other's glasses and drank a little, and then concentrated on eating meat.

The broth in the pot gradually evaporated, and the waiter came up with a kettle to add the soup.

He deliberately poured some of the soup on top of the chimney, and with a 'hiss' sound, the water vapor steamed, making the meal look more authentic.

After eating eighty percent of the time, they headed to the gym.

The hotel's gym is also a lounge where they can relax after meals.

After walking out of the private room, Li Du saw Bradley again, this guy was patient, he was waiting outside, Li Du could guess that he must be waiting for his party.

In this way, he is more interested in Steve's identity, is this a prince? Bradley is a little too concerned, right?

Bradley followed them into the lounge, silently and always following behind, looking a little lewd.

Li Du looked at him a few times with dissatisfaction, he pretended not to notice, and took his cheekiness to the extreme.

Meow also tilted his head to look at Bradley, and Chubby had the same disgruntled expression on his face.

Seeing them change into sportswear, Bradley knew the group's plans and went to the cabinet to prepare to change into sportswear.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few people exercising after dinner, and Elson told the caretaker that there were no empty cabinets in the changing room.

Bradley gritted his teeth, found a random spot to put down his clothes, and changed into a sweatshirt in a daze.

The people in the room looked at him in surprise, and he also felt a bit ashamed to do so, so he pretended to be calm and said to the administrator: "Take care of my clothes, I just lost them in the hotel two days ago, God knows, I don't want to go through this again." ”
