Chapter 500: Change
The section of the road from the city to the town, including the original old town, has been re-planned, and all the original things have been re-designed, except for those with historical significance.
New houses were erected, and all the highways and streets were re-changed, not only widened, but also planted with many green trees. Zhang Tao's town is no longer called a town, it is called a high-tech development zone, and it is still a national high-tech development zone.
Including the original Zhang Tao and their town, and the current university town, plus a large area to the city center, have been zoned to the high-tech zone. Directly bordering the city center, the territory is much larger, and the level is much higher.
To Zhang Tao's surprise, the construction of the national park and nature reserve has now accelerated a lot, and it is said that several big leaders who came to inspect the place paid special attention to that place. And then it became what it is now, and all the projects started to accelerate.
This is evergreen in China, as long as the leaders above reveal the meaning a little, a large number of people below will move on the pole. Of course, there are special circumstances, such as the two current leaders who were not treated well in their previous lives.
"Oh my God, I never knew there was such a beautiful and magical place, and when I got here, I felt like I was younger, full of vitality, is this heaven?"
Jack got out of the car and looked at his surroundings with a look of surprise. The beauty here really surprised him, an indescribable beauty, as well as harmony and tranquility. From his heart to his body, he felt extremely comfortable.
At this time, the first rice season is just ripe, and you can see a large area of golden rice fields everywhere around. The well-planned highway and the green trees on both sides of the highway are full of characteristic country villas.
The flocks of birds flying by from time to time in the blue sky all show that this place is a vibrant and beautiful place. It is obviously an economically developed place, but you can't see the hustle and bustle of any big city, like a garden.
"Welcome to my hometown, this is paradise on earth!" Zhang Tao looked at Jack's reaction with a smile and said loudly to him. Except for Wang Zhongqiu, the reaction of the others was similar to that of Jack, this place fascinated them too much.
The car stopped at the restaurant of the God of Food, which was a washing banquet that Zhang Tao made for Jack. At this time, he went home a little late, and Zhang Tao didn't call him to cook at home, so he ate outside.
And the place they came to is the only five-Michelin-starred restaurant in the country, which is highly recommended by everyone. Even the people at Michelin's headquarters couldn't hold back, and not rating the place was an insult to the cuisine.
Both the ingredients and the craftsmanship of the chefs here are at the highest level. The food here is unforgettable, and it is worth all the people who come here to taste it, and the Michelin people naturally don't insist too much.
When they arrived, the place was already full, and the upstairs and downstairs were full of admiring diners. But for Zhang, that's not a problem.
He has his own private box here, and he can come and go whenever he wants. And it is possible to enjoy the personal service of the god of cooking, provided that the old man of the god of food is there and is still available.
After entering his box, Zhang Tao had just confirmed the menu with a few of them, but he didn't expect the kitchen god to come over. This made Zhang Tao a little surprised, and he felt that he was too blessed.
You must know that this old man doesn't have much time to do it now, and most of the time he is watching from the sidelines. Ordinary people rarely eat anything made by this old man, and it is useless to give money.
The old man heard that the people here said that Zhang Tao was coming, so he came over to take a look. He hasn't seen Zhang Tao for a year now, and he now knows some more secret things, it seems that he can get so many ingredients here, or Zhang Tao's strength.
So this god of food was very happy about Zhang Tao's arrival, he was about to talk over there about the white truffle, but he didn't expect Zhang Tao to come back at this time, which was really unexpected.
"Uncle Zhong, I haven't seen you for a year, you are getting younger and younger." Zhang Tao immediately got up to greet him when he saw the kitchen god come in, this old man was much older than him, and the necessary respect and politeness were necessary.
However, Zhong Bo's current state looks much better than before, his face is full of red light, and his spirit looks good, which is estimated to have a lot to do with the fact that he has been living here for the past two years.
"I am indeed younger, and now I follow your grandfather and them to do Tai Chi every morning, and I am much healthier, and I look much younger. You sit here first, I'm making a dish, I'll bring you some even. ”
After listening to Zhang Tao's words, Zhong Bo replied with a smile. Then he said hello and left the box, he was not in a hurry to talk to Zhang Tao about his affairs now, after all, Zhang Tao had just come back, just say hello first.
The white truffles are now confirmed to be produced this year, and they are of high quality, with the largest one said to weigh several pounds. The biggest Zhong Bo is not extravagant, it is already a world-class treasure. He only needs a part of it, a small one.
After all, in addition to the local tyrants from the mainland, he also has many international friends in this hotel. Those people had high expectations for the white truffle, so Zhong Bo naturally wanted to cooperate with the town, and then use the white truffle to entertain those international friends.
In addition to this, he also needs the foie gras from town, which is also the best ingredient. The geese here are all free-range, but despite this, the foie gras produced is still no worse than that of the Gallic roosters, and it feels so cool to use these to get money out of the pockets of those foreigners.
White truffles, foie gras, and caviar. These three are known as the top ingredients in Western food, except for the caviar, which is not close to the sea and has no output, the other two are available here, which is an unexpected surprise and the most profitable project for foreigners.
"You said this old man is over seventy?" After listening to Zhang Tao's introduction of Uncle Zhong in his seventies, Jack asked with a surprised face. He really couldn't tell that Uncle Zhong was in his seventies, and he looked like he was in his fifties, the same as Jack.
"It's true that he is in his seventies, because our environment here is good, and he usually goes to practice Tai Chi, so he is in such a good state now." Zhang Tao smiled and explained to Jack when he saw Jack's surprised appearance.
"This old man is not old, you will know when you go to my house to play, my grandfather is now in his nineties, and we have an old man who is over 100 years old, and they all look young."
"Why do they all live here all the time and practice Tai Chi often?" After listening to Zhang Tao's words, Jack asked rhetorically, he never thought that practicing Tai Chi would have the effect of prolonging life, and he had always regarded this thing as kung fu.
"Yes, it's because of Tai Chi." Zhang Tao affirmed Jack's conjecture, and the light in the eyes of several women next to him lit up at once, but at this time, the restaurant began to serve.
Half Chinese, generally Western. Western food is to take care of Jack's daily habits, while Chinese food is to let them know the deliciousness of oriental food. The dish that Zhong Bo personally made was a soup, and he was also sent over at this time.
"I feel like I don't want to go back to the United States after staying here for a few days, and this food alone can make me not want to leave." Jack smelled the smell of the food in the room, and his whole body felt like he was drunk.
"Me too" The other people reacted similarly, "We don't need to order Western food in the next time here, just these oriental delicacies are enough, let's eat enough at one time!" ”
After saying that, several people immediately started moving. The four women didn't put on any ladylike style at this time, so they served the bowl and drank some soup first, especially when they heard that this soup can also nourish their faces.
Zhang Tao looked at the reactions of several of them and smiled, if it was before, he would definitely be happy for this kind of praise, but now he doesn't need it, he has heard too many similar compliments, and he has begun to become numb.
Now the district doesn't have to put much effort into promoting something, and people will come and pay attention. Because of some time ago, a large number of international guests have come all the way here just to see this fairy-like place.
The food, the scenery, and the cultural conditions here have already been published in various travel magazines, and they are all highly recommended places worth visiting. Those foreigners are not short of money, so they naturally want to come over and enjoy it.
And those people in China have not kept up with the pace now, at this time they are only running around some rich people who got rich first, and the era of real national tourism will almost come to an end.
It's just that at that time, another problem will come out, and that is the problem of quality. Zhang Tao felt that it was necessary to establish a networked moral monitoring system in the city or district, which would play a standardized role for some people who like to pretend to be an uncle.
Otherwise, after that kind of person has a little money, he doesn't remember where his ancestors were. always thinks that people all over the world want to treat him as an uncle, slapping this and kicking that at every turn, and looking arrogant when labor and management are rich and labor.
Zhang Tao thinks that it is necessary to engage in that kind of monitoring system, which is to monitor those who throw garbage, spit, and jump in line to rob, and those who are rich and uncles, and who are not pleasing to anyone. He didn't want his town to change because of those people.
After eating, Zhang Tao took Jack and a few people to drive Wang Zhongqiu's car back to his house, and Wang Zhongqiu went back to school by himself, and his car was temporarily requisitioned by Zhang Tao. Otherwise, Zhang Tao and the others would have to hire another car, or walk back.
Zhang Tao's parents were at home, and the couple were still at home for a lunch break when they came. Although they knew that Zhang Tao would bring people over to play, after really meeting people, Zhang Cuihua and his wife were still a little surprised, because there were three young and beautiful foreign girls in it.
For Zhang Cuihua and his wife, they have seen a lot of foreigners over the years, and every year the town has to receive foreigners from all over the world. But her son brought back three young foreign girls at one time, and she immediately became vigilant.
Zhang Tao is studying abroad, if she really finds a foreign daughter-in-law to come back, she won't be able to sit still. Zhang Cuihua is not dissatisfied with foreign women, she is just not used to facing her daughter-in-law and becoming a foreign daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, Zhang Cuihua felt that she would have to talk to Zhang Tao about this issue later, otherwise Zhang Tao would take a big-bellied girl home, and it would be too late at that time. She is more open-minded in many ways, but this does not include accepting a foreign daughter-in-law.
Zhang Tao's father Zheng Hu has good English, he used to be in Pengcheng and now he often has some old outsiders, and he has also studied some language knowledge, so he can have a good chat with Jack and the others.
After sitting at home for a while, both husband and wife were going to work, so they said hello and went out. At this time, Zhang Yan heard that her brother was coming back with a few foreigners, and ran home from outside in a hurry.
In order to encourage the students in their class to learn English, the teachers at their school often let them chat with foreigners who come to the town, which is said to improve their speaking skills.
Also coming with Zhang Yan were He Ming and his sister, Zhang Yan had been playing at her aunt's house before, and now she came with her. Zhao Lin is not here, Zhao Lin has been filming movies in other places this summer, and she hasn't even returned home.
After staying at home for a while, Zhang Tao gave a few of them a straw hat that was unique to this area, and then walked around their village. Later, I have to send these people to the hotel to rest early, and they need to adjust to the jet lag.
The first place where a few people went was the ancestral hall in the village, which is the nearest scenic spot and a place worth seeing. The two turtles there and Daqing Zhang Tao hadn't seen them for more than a year, and he really missed a few guys.
When we arrived at the place, there were a few tourists taking pictures, next to the three guys. And Zhang Tao's grandfather and Zhang Tao's master were sitting here, next to them were several young people practicing Tai Chi, and the two were pointing on the side.
Zhang Tao was a little curious when he saw a few of them, could it be that his master had accepted apprentices again? So give them pointers now. Now is not the best time to practice attacking, and normally speaking, I will not practice in the ancestral hall.
Without waiting for Zhang Tao to get close to that side, a few guys in the pool left the tourists and pounced on Zhang Tao first.
The two turtles have now learned to splash water from the pond onto the shore, so that several people around Zhang Tao were immediately attracted by them.
"Oh! What a big turtle! What a big snake, is that a python? ”
Several women around Zhang Tao all exclaimed in surprise when they saw Tuan Tuan Tuan, Yuanyuan and Daqing. The reunion is now much bigger than a year ago, and the more I look at it, the more fierce it becomes. And Daqing's current state, I'm afraid it can only be said by a python.
