Chapter 193: Eating Hot Pot

Seeing that the development of the plot story was about to enter **, Lin Mingyang, who was talking about his surname, suddenly heard a gurgling sound, and his expression froze there all of a sudden.

"This voice can't be mine, right?"

Alba blushed and hurriedly lowered his head: "I'm sorry, it's me!" ”

Lin Mingyang paid attention to his watch, only to find that it was time for dinner, he patronized the storytelling, but forgot the time.

"It's supposed to be me who says I'm sorry, why don't we talk about the plot here first, go get something to eat?"

It is already a very rude thing to interrupt other people's conversations, and in such a way, now Alba doesn't dare to look up at Lin Mingyang, she just nodded, as for where to eat and what to eat, at this time, it is naturally Lin Mingyang who has the final say.

Lin Mingyang's ordinary-looking off-road vehicle did save them a lot of trouble, and few people would have thought that two big Hollywood stars were sitting in it. With Alba, a professional "guide", Lin Mingyang drove to Los Angeles' Chinatown after a while.

"What are we going to eat?" Standing on the bustling street, Alba asked with some curiosity.

Lin Mingyang raised his eyes and looked, "I'll take you to taste Chinese hot pot... I remember the last time I visited, it seemed like there was a hot pot restaurant here. ”

Of course, Alba didn't understand what hot pot was, so Lin Mingyang had no choice but to describe the shape of the hot pot to her, and then she had a suddenly realized expression: "I've been to a restaurant like that, and there is a sign in the shape of 'hot pot' that you said is hanging on the door of their store!" ”

Lin Mingyang was stunned, if he remembered correctly, the "hot pot" signboard should be called this restaurant. The problem was still difficult to explain, but fortunately he had already discovered the hot pot restaurant he had been to before in Chinatown.

He led Alba to a stop in front of a quaint restaurant. When you walk in, you can see that there are really a lot of people eating hot pot, and it is a bit like a bathhouse. Lin Mingyang has a long-lost intimacy with this noisy environment, but Alba seems very uncomfortable at first. She had never encountered such a noisy dining environment before, and she frowned before she could sit down.

China's hot pot is divided into mandarin duck hot pot according to the Bagua diagram, which means the unity of heaven and earth, reunion and integration. The United States does not have such a deep cultural background, so they like to go straight and divide the rectangular hot pot evenly with iron plates into many small slots.

If the customer who eats hot pot asks for a split meal, then each person will have a hot pot trough and eat their own food. If customers want to share a meal, the waiter will pour a variety of flavors into each small slot. Ordinary hot pot only has two flavors, spicy and non-spicy, but the hot pot here can provide customers with seven or eight flavors at the same time.

Alba's attention was quickly attracted by the waiter's various dishes, the meat dishes she could almost tell, and the vegetarian dishes she had never seen before, and she couldn't name them at all. Later, the waiter brought a large plate of fruit, and Alba thought it was a fruit salad, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see the shadow of the salad dressing.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Lin Mingyang introduced with a smile: "This fruit is used to be eaten shabu-shabu, plus all kinds of stamens, you can eat it, the taste is very special." As he spoke, he also showed Alba a very delicious look, and when he chewed it in his mouth, Alba hesitantly tasted a small bite, and found that the taste was really good, the taste was refreshing and elegant. Driven by Lin Mingyang and the protest of her stomach, she quickly adapted to this method of shabu-shabu.

The meat dishes on the table are basically eaten by Lin Mingyang alone, and Alba keeps putting different ingredients into his hot pot. When encountering vegetables she didn't know, Lin Mingyang had to explain them to her.

During this time, Alba became interested in the chubby-looking, innocent and cute Mexican bell peppers, and Lin Mingyang reminded her that it was known as the hottest thing in the world, but Alba couldn't help but want to try it.

"Felix, you look weird, is this thing really as horrible as you described?" Alba saw that there were a few blonde and blue-eyed white people like her eating with relish, but Lin Mingyang was afraid of this plate of small round peppers like a snake and scorpion.

Lin Mingyang looked at Alba very seriously: "I advise you not to try it lightly, because as long as you bite it, you won't have time to regret it!" ”

Alba shook her head disapprovingly, but she regretted it after only one bite, but it was too late to back down, and the numb and spicy sensation quickly stirred up in her mouth. Alba, whose face was flushed, couldn't care about her image at this time, and she covered her mouth and beckoned to the waiter.

"Quick... Bring me a glass of ice water... My lips are on fire! ”

She covered her mouth when she spoke, and her words were a little slurred, and the other party didn't understand after gesturing for a long time. Lin Mingyang knew that drinking water didn't work when it was spicy, so he asked the waiter to bring a jar of yogurt.

By the time the other party sent what Lin Mingyang wanted, Alba's lips were already a little unconscious. But she slowly realized that as the spicy subsided, a sweet taste took over her entire tongue. Only then did she understand why a few Americans over there were still desperately eating, and it turned out that this taste was infinitely tempting every diner.

Thinking of the sad taste at the beginning of his mouth, Alba finally gave up on the idea of continuing to taste it. The conversation between the two at the dinner table has returned from food to the unfinished story of the sequel to "The New Spider-Man".

"I always felt that as a sequel to Spider-Man, there was something missing from this story!" Alba had been holding this doubt in his heart, and at this time he finally spoke it out organically.

Lin Mingyang asked casually: "Do you feel that the image of Spider-Man superheroes is not prominent enough?" ”

Alba thought for a moment, as if that was the case, "But why is that?" ”

"Because the supervillain in the story has not yet appeared, whether it is a comic or a movie, behind every superhero's fame, there is a group of villains who cry silently." Lin Mingyang explained with a smile.

Alba speculated: "Could it be that the villain in this film suddenly appeared at the end?" ”

"Of course not, this person has already appeared in the previous story, but you would never have thought it was him!" Lin Mingyang deliberately sold a pass, and then began to tell the next plot.

Wenger's departure made Peter begin to seriously reflect on his past practices, but just as he was about to talk to his wife seriously, Wenger and Mary came to the door at the same time. Peter's son Mark is kidnapped by a group of men in black, and Windsor is inexplicably missing, these two events happen almost simultaneously, one is his own son, the other is the son of a good friend, and the pleading eyes of his wife and Mary's helpless expression put Peter in a dilemma again. ”

"At this time Peter received a strange phone call, it turned out that both children had fallen into the hands of the same group, and the other party had left an address for Peter on the phone, and if he arrived within half an hour, both children would die."

"The invincible Spider-Man is on the scene?" At this point in the story, Alba can basically guess how the plot will play out later, but she is still full of curiosity, because the biggest suspense has not yet been revealed.

"The kidnapping of Mark and Windsor is actually..." The answer was already coming out, but Lin Mingyang had no follow-up.

Alba came up with her first hypothesis: "That villain **oss is actually Mary, she resented Peter for killing Harry, so she destroyed his family first, and then kidnapped Mark, and she wants to make Peter suffer the double pain of losing her lover and son." ”

"If it's Mary, how can Windsor's disappearance be explained?" Lin Mingyang shook his head and denied the answer.

Harry is not dead, but he has become an ugly bastard, and he sees Peter approaching Mary, and he has won the dependence of his own daughter. He blamed all his resentment on Peter, and then launched a mad revenge on Peter. Alba came up with another hypothesis.

"Harry is dead in the last episode, this is not a magic movie, the character certainly won't come back from the dead!" Lin Mingyang still shook his head, seeing that Alba was a little anxious, he prompted: "Your guess is already a little close to the correct answer!" ”

"Other than that, I really can't think of anyone else!"

Alba reluctantly announced that he would give up, and finally Lin Mingyang said the name of that person.

"How is this possible?" Alba's eyes widened in surprise, "Harry's father has been dead for many years in the last episode, how can he be the last villain?" You said the characters don't come back from the dead. ”

Lin Mingyang explained: "Harry's father, Norman, only disappeared in that experimental explosion, and everyone just thought he was dead, but in fact the explosion was deliberately made by him to hide from others, and he hid in a secret place and continued his experiment. ”

"So he succeeded?"

"It worked!" Lin Mingyang's words changed, "It's just with Peter's help." ”

A doubt has just been solved, and a suspense has appeared, Alba admires Lin Mingyang's storytelling level, he can always change tricks to let you listen to the story.

"What does this have to do with Peter?"

"Because Norman is the boss behind the company that hired Peter, they used the pretext of developing new drugs to overcome a lot of technical difficulties with the help of Peter's hands."

"Peter finally knew?"

"All the mysteries were revealed in the final battle, and Norman has been researching how to transfer the special surname of the lizard's regenerated tail to humans. In an experiment of fusing with a lizard, he succeeded in obtaining the ability to regenerate severed limbs, but at the same time, he also transformed into a lizardman demon. He already knew that Peter had killed his son Harry, and that recruiting Peter into the company was part of his revenge plan. When Norman gains the ability to contend with Spider-Man, he sets out his revenge plan. He wants Peter to know the pain of losing his son, so he kidnaps Mark and wants to kill him in front of him after he defeats Spider-Man. ”

"And what about Windsor, why did Norman kidnap her too?"

"Because she's Harry's only flesh and blood, Norman wants to keep her by his side."
