Chapter 313: A Chance Encounter in Lahaina Town (2/2)
Chapter 313: A Chance Encounter in the Small Town of Lahaina
Hawaiian cuisine originated in Maui and has won many World Culinary Competitions. As a historic capital and a tourist powerhouse, Lahaina has never been short of restaurants. And to judge the popularity of a restaurant, just look at the crowd of people who gather at the door to wait at the meal.
The restaurant that Lin Mingyang took Rosie to know from the outside that the business was very hot, and its special feature is also the name of the restaurant, the "Bagan Shrimp" restaurant makes people unconsciously think of the movie "Forrest Gump" at first glance. This restaurant does have a lot to do with the story of the movie, there is a table tennis table at the door of the restaurant, a bench next to it is a book of "Forrest Gump", and under the chair is a pair of "Forrest Gump" huge running shoes.
Rosie is no stranger to that classic movie, but what she sees in front of her is something new. Walking into the restaurant behind Lin Mingyang, she saw more things related to "Forrest Gump", including the handwritten "Forrest Gump quotes" on the table, and the various ways to eat Forrest Gump shrimp marked on the menu.
There were two signs, one red and one green, on the table, which said that when she sat down, Rosie became interested in these two brands, and Lin Mingyang, who was already a regular customer here, explained to her the role of the signs.
You don't have to shout at the waiter at this restaurant, just flip the red sign over and the waiter will come by himself.
"It's amazing," Rosie tried to fiddle with, and soon a waiter came over, and she had already ordered two more drinks.
Rosie ate very happily at this meal, Lin Mingyang is the kind of man who talks humorously and behaves elegantly at the dinner table, and the interesting things that come out of his mouth make Rosie listen to it very fascinated.
After dinner, Lin Mingyang accompanied Rosie to buy clothes, I have to say that the model is a natural hanger, even if it is just an off-the-shoulder plain wrap dress, a fedora, a pair of sunglasses, an envelope bag, Rosie who came out of the clothing store is still quite eye-catching when she walks on the street, two sexy super long **, the perfect body curve looms, and the whole body exudes an indescribable sexy taste.
In contrast, Lin Mingyang is much more low-key, with a lowered brim and wide sunglasses that basically cover his entire face, although he is not afraid of any trouble now, but it takes a lot of time to explain the photos of the two of them scattered on the street by the media, and the trouble can naturally be saved.
There are a few art shops on that famous street, and the price tag of oil paintings is usually thousands of dollars, and those that can be seen are basically tens of thousands of dollars. Rosie fell in love with a very creative artistic sketch, and the price was only $3,000, and Lin Mingyang didn't have any idea of bargaining, so he bought it directly.
After that, the two went to a free park that they couldn't name, and the scenery inside was very quiet, with small bridges and flowing water, and a wide lawn, like a beautiful painting. There are a lot of fish in the small lake, as well as a group of wild ducks and geese with very greedy mouths. Lin Mingyang spent a few coins to get some fish food from the coin machine, which he originally planned to put into the lake to feed the fish, but the group of wild ducks and the reddened geese on their heads moved faster, and most of the fish food was put into the wild ducks. Then, the mallards swaggered along with the two of them, making Rosie giggle.
After walking around the town, the two finally came to the old "Hawaiian Kingdom Court" square. A large banyan tree behind the ancient building of the courthouse. This banyan tree is rare in the United States and is said to have been brought from China by Chinese people who traveled across the seas. The characteristic of this banyan tree is that as soon as the branches of this banyan tree hang down to the ground, it will naturally be planted in the soil, and it will not take long for it to become a new root that breaks through the soil and becomes a trunk, and then multiplies and grows many lush branches and leaves.
When Lin Mingyang and Luo Xi approached, they found that the roots of this banyan tree were complicated, and they couldn't even see which one was the "ancestor". A lot of people were taking pictures under the tree, and the two were about to leave, when suddenly a tall, thin man with black hair ran over with a camera in his hand.
"This young lady, can you help take a picture?" The other party's English sounded a little stiff, and Lin Mingyang knew that the other party was not a local Chinese when he heard it, and the rhythm of speaking had a bit of a Japanese flavor.
Rosie glanced at Lin Mingyang and saw him nodding, then she smiled and took the camera from the other party's hand, and stepped forward to help the tall and thin man take pictures with his friend.
The tall, lanky man went back to the banyan tree and muttered to his companion, then began to pose. They used Japanese, which made Lin Mingyang suddenly think, he took out the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, took a picture of the two of them from the side, and then edited a message and sent it out with a picture.
Soon received an unexpected reply on his mobile phone, at first he just felt that the two Japanese looked familiar, as if they had seen each other somewhere, but he didn't expect that after some confirmation, the other party really had a little relationship with him.
Rosie took a few photos of the two of them before returning the camera to each other. Presumably because of Rosie's sexy and beautiful appearance, the two guys said words of thanks in their broken English for a long time.
Rosie also realized the other party's intentional entanglement, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, she was about to turn her head to ask Lin Mingyang for help, but found that he had already come over.
"You're Kuniaki Takahashi?" The Japanese name is very difficult to pronounce in English, and Lin Mingyang can speak some simple Japanese, and when these words came out of his mouth, the two Japanese on the other side were immediately stunned.
The tall and thin man holding the camera stammered, "You're also Japanese?" ”
"I am Chinese-American, more accurately Chinese"
"Nani?" Lin Mingyang shook his head directly, making the other party a little disappointed, but the puzzled expression on his face became more and more intense, "Then how did you know my name?" ”
"Looks like I didn't recognize the wrong person." Lin Mingyang smiled, and then looked at the tall and thin man's slightly longer haired partner, "So you should be Tanabe Hideki?" ”
As soon as his words came out, the two Japanese on the opposite side changed color in unison, and then their expressions suddenly became vigilant.
"Who the hell are you?"
"At least not a bad guy" Lin Mingyang moved his sunglasses down, revealing his eyes.
"Ah, you're..."
Hideki Tanabe, who recognized his identity, shouted, attracting the sideways glances of the surrounding tourists. Lin Mingyang hurriedly pressed his index finger between his lips and made a silent gesture towards the other party.
He straightened his sunglasses, then nodded from the two of them, "This is not the place to talk, why don't we find a café to sit down and talk slowly?" ”
Lin Mingyang invited, how could the two of them refuse, Rosie looked at all this in her eyes, and was very curious in her heart. At first, the two Japanese glanced at themselves a little dishonestly, and some of them were annoying, but after Lin Mingyang said a few words to them that he didn't understand, the attitude of the two actually became respectful, and they honestly followed Lin Mingyang as if they were a different person.
On the way to the café, Rosie finally couldn't help the curiosity in her heart, and while the two were not paying attention, she secretly leaned on Lin Mingyang's shoulder and whispered her doubts.
The aroma was fragrant, Lin Mingyang didn't care about the two Japanese behind him, reached out and grabbed Rosie's front waist, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "They are stunt drivers invited by the crew from Japan." ”
"But why haven't I seen the two of them in the hotel?"
After it was officially determined that Rosie would play the heroine in the film, Lin Mingyang summoned the crew members to introduce them one by one, and in Rosie's impression, there was no shadow of these two Japanese at all.
Lin Mingyang explained: "According to the plan, the two of them should report to the crew tomorrow, and I estimate that they will travel to Hawaii this time, so they happened to meet here."
Rosie let out an "oh", and then obediently put half of her body in Lin Mingyang's arms, and didn't say more on the way.
Across the central square of the town, they saw a whole row of complete and antique dwarf wooden buildings on the street, and finally Lin Mingyang chose a two-story wooden café, according to the owner of this shop, the café houses are still 100 years old, but the original old style is maintained.
At this time, there were not many customers in the store, and the shopkeeper saw Lin Mingyang and Luo Qian handsome men and women, and they were both wearing sunglasses, and it was estimated that the two of them were not small, so they specially arranged a window position on the second floor, from which they could see the dock of Lahaina from a distance.
After sitting down, Lin Mingyang took off his baseball cap, but after the coffee in the store was served, he took off his sunglasses.
Kuniaki Takahashi and Hideki Tanabe, who were sitting across from him, looked a little reserved, and if you looked at them alone, probably no one would believe that these two guys were stunt drivers with "speed and misses" as their profession, let alone connect them to those thrilling drifting moves.
Don't look at them as well-known in China, but they seem a little insignificant in front of Lin Mingyang. When they received the invitation from the crew, the two even had a feeling of disbelief.
Kuniaki Takahashi and Hideki Tanabe both knew that it was a rare opportunity to be able to serve as a stunt double in Lin Mingyang's new film, and at this moment, the director was sitting opposite the two, and they would inevitably feel a little apprehensive in their hearts.
Luo Qian, who was sitting next to Lin Mingyang, knew that she couldn't interject in this conversation, and she probably couldn't even understand the content of their conversation, so she turned her eyes out the window early.
At this time, Lin Mingyang finally spoke.
