Chapter 260: Confusion and Confusion
Being in a foreign country and being able to eat authentic hometown food is a treat for anyone. At this moment, Xu Haibao, who is sitting alone in this Chinese restaurant, still feels this hometown-style warmth.
Looking at dinner time, the attendance rate of the restaurant is not high, and Xu Haibao also knows that the business of this restaurant is not the best compared to the Chinese restaurants in the entire Chinatown, but it is not the worst.
Just wait for two years, the number of tourists coming to the ancient bar will increase, the relationship between the two countries will become closer, and the business of the restaurant will gradually improve. Revisiting this place, Xu Haibao felt that maybe he should do this old friend a little favor.
Compared with other diners, who left very neatly after eating, Xu Haibao, who also finished eating, once again asked the waiter to make a pot of tea and sat by the window on the second floor of the restaurant, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
Such a strange diner made the waiter a little curious. Fortunately, Xu Haibao is not a stingy person, and in addition to paying the bill very quickly, he also gave a lot of tips to the waiter at the reception. For the sake of money, the waiter is naturally not easy to catch up!
When the diners in the restaurant had finished eating, Tang Xingheng, who had been busy in the kitchen before, learned that Xu Haibao, an eccentric guest, still hadn't left, and personally made a pot of tea and came to the second floor.
When he saw Xu Haibao, he was still a little surprised. The reason is that Xu Haibao's age is much younger than he imagined. For other tourists who come to travel, they will run to the lively and noisy places to play at this time.
As the capital of the ancient bar, the location and location of Chinatown are not very good. Coupled with the fact that a large number of Chinese people have moved away, this place where nearly 100,000 Chinese lived in those years has become increasingly deserted.
Many of the Chinese living in Chinatown today are mostly older. The number of new immigrants like Tang Xingheng is really rare. In the past, most of the tourists who came here would go to other places after their meals.
"Hello, didn't bother, right? I'm the head chef of the restaurant, Tang Xingheng, I heard from the clerk, Mr. was introduced by a friend?"
"Chef Tang, hello! Yes! I heard from friends who have been to the ancient bar that Chef Tang will be able to cook authentic Hangzhou dishes, I am from the East China Sea in the south of the Yangtze River, this time I came to the ancient bar to travel, and I am not used to eating local dishes, so I came to taste the taste of my hometown!"
Although he knows a lot of things about Tang Xingheng, Xu Haibao, who has been reborn, knows very well that he and Tang Xingheng are the first time they have met in this life. It's the first time I see it, so I naturally have to be tactful when I speak, and it's not good to scare others if I'm too enthusiastic!
Like the previous contact, Tang Xingheng, who had the same heavy plot as his fellow countryman, learned that Xu Haibao was from the East China Sea, and his attitude became much more enthusiastic. After settling in the ancient bar for a few years, Tang Xingheng is still interested in the situation in his hometown.
A pot of tea, a few plates of side dishes that were originally used for wine, but the two who came into contact for the first time talked happily. When the waiter asked for instructions, Xu Haibao realized that it was not too early, and he also said goodbye in a timely manner.
Before leaving, Tang Xingheng also said enthusiastically: "Haibao, if you don't dislike my brother, this restaurant is too shabby, and I will come here often in the future! To be honest, cooking for those locals really doesn't mean boring." I always feel awkward!"
"It's easy to live, it's easy to live, it's not easy to live! The guest is God, since you open the door to do business, you always have to meet the requirements of the diners! Okay, I should wait for a while at the ancient bar, and I will have to disturb you in the future!"
"In that case, it's really hard to meet a few fellows abroad. Compared with the compatriots who travel to the other side of the sea, there are really not many compatriots who travel to Guba. It seems that it will be difficult for this Chinatown to regain its former liveliness. ”
Although Chinese restaurants are now open all over the world, for many foreigners, eating Chinese food may be the same as eating Western food in Chinese, occasionally changing their appetite, but rarely treating it as a staple food.
If Chinatown is bustling again, the overseas Chinese living here alone will be able to support many Chinese restaurants. It's a pity that the Chinatown here in Guba does look a little shabby compared to other places.
Leaving the restaurant and taking a taxi, Xu Haibao was not in the mood to go shopping, and when he returned to the seaside hotel he had booked, he saw that the noisy and lively beach during the day had gradually become quieter, and he also planned to go out for a walk.
For Xu Haibao, whether in his past life or in this life, every time he sees the sea, he will have an inexplicable sense of intimacy and security. It's just that for Xu Haibao, who doesn't like to be lively, he has no interest in hanging out on the beach that is crowded and lively during the day.
As is the case in many places, even if the tourism development of the ancient bar is just emerging, the environmental pollution situation of some coastal beaches and bays is also not optimistic. Looking at the turbid waters, Xu Haibao knew that this was the price of development.
Walking alone on the beach, looking at the couples or young people passing by from time to time, Xu Haibao is like a passerby, coming and leaving quietly. After returning to the hotel, I suddenly decided to have a good night's rest today.
After returning from rebirth to today, Xu Haibao found that he seemed to be very busy and hard every day. Especially for cultivation, he is very focused and hardworking. Because he felt very insecure.
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary diving salvageman, but in this life, he suddenly became a monk, and even became a fluke among monks. In order to protect the hard-won opportunity for rebirth, Xu Haibao did work harder than many people.
Even when he was with his girlfriend, Xu Haibao would still get up early and find a place to practice alone. And this time I decided to go abroad to look for opportunities, and it was more that Xu Haibao wanted to really relax and rest.
There is only one step left to break through the fifth layer of the exercises. Although Xu Haibao feels that if he continues to work hard, it will be a matter of time before he breaks through. But Xu Haibao knows better that the higher his cultivation, the more things he will lose.
Although Xu Haibao always regarded himself as an ordinary person, Xu Haibao knew very well that he could deceive himself, but he could not deceive others. In the eyes of many people who know his identity, he is already a superior who can only climb high.
Even if Xu Haibao doesn't want to put on a shelf sometimes, in order to ensure the safety of the people around him, as well as those recruited comrades-in-arms, he must also establish his prestige. Maybe there are some things that really can't help yourself!
When he opened his eyes the next day, Xu Haibao, who felt that he had slept very comfortably, looked at the bright sunlight that sprinkled into the room, and suddenly said with some self-deprecation: "I really can't imagine that I haven't finally experienced the comfort of sleeping until today!"
In the past, Xu Haibao would start meditating and cultivating in the early hours of the morning when day and night were alternating. Although meditation and cultivation can make up for the spirit and energy recovered from sleeping, it is not sleep after all, and it is impossible to truly relax wholeheartedly.
It's rare to get a good night's sleep today, but Xu Haibao feels that it's rare. This kind of thing, put on many ordinary people, may feel incredible. But for Xu Haibao, who became a monk, he did experience this helplessness.
In cultivation, many times it is a matter of not advancing or retreating. In addition, this road itself is a road against the sky, and time is really important to many people. But for Xu Haibao, whose cultivation was gradually improving, he seemed a little confused and confused.
It stands to reason that his current cultivation is also at the top of the academy. Even the one that is about to usher in a breakthrough again, is only one step away from the legendary martial arts golden pill, which should have been something to be happy about.
But Xu Haibao sometimes thought that if he really advanced to the Jindan Monk, the earth might not be too much of a challenge to him. After truly becoming invincible, what is the fun of life?
In addition, even if he can't advance in this life, he can live at least two Jiazi lifespans, and no matter what, he can live for more than a hundred years. If you advance to the Jindan Realm, I believe that it should not be a problem to live for four or five hundred years.
But the question is, what's the point of living so long? Looking at the people he loves around him, passing away and growing old one by one, how will Xu Haibao feel when he arrives? Even if he is a powerful Jindan monk, it is still difficult to reverse the law of the cycle of life and death.
Teaching the people around him to cultivate, Xu Haibao also had this idea. But another problem arises, not everyone is like him, with a nameless pearl against the sky. With the heap of resources, what realm can you pile up your relatives?
What's more, after becoming monks, will they feel that their cultivation can really be extraordinary?
Understanding these confusions is also the level of demons that the monk must overcome to ascend to the realm. If you don't want to be embarrassed at this time, when you cross the catastrophe in the future, under the double attack of external thunder and internal catastrophe, it will be difficult for Xu Haibao to have a chance to live.
Just after realizing the powerful existence of the monk, Xu Haibao suddenly found that under the rules of heaven and earth, he was still in the object of oppression. If you are not careful, God may take away his hard-won life.
felt that there was something wrong with his mentality, so Xu Haibao made a decisive decision, and he might gain something by going out for a walk alone. Taking the ancient bar as his first stop, and before he was reborn, he felt that this place was very suitable for him to live.
It was rare to have a good night's sleep, Xu Haibao felt his cultivation as usual, but found that he had not cultivated all night, and there was no problem with his cultivation. On the contrary, the state of mind cultivation has increased somewhat.
Sensing these situations, Xu Haibao was also speechless and said: "If I let other monks know, I can also increase my state of mind cultivation when I sleep, and I am estimated to vomit blood in depression." It seems that it is necessary to relax once in a while!"
The next day, Xu Haibao was still the same as tourists who came to the ancient bar, with a camera around his neck, shuttling through the well-known attractions in the capital of the ancient bar. Even though these attractions have been here in his previous life, Xu Haibao still looks at them very happily.
It wasn't until he returned to the hotel in the evening that thinking that dinner had not yet been resolved, Xu Haibao quickly took another taxi, carrying a few specially prepared ingredients, and planned to ask Tang Xingheng to help process it.
Something like this, Xu Haibao did not do less in his previous life. It's just that compared with the ingredients he carried in his previous life, the ingredients he provided in this life, I believe Tang Xingheng will also be very interested.
But for Xu Haibao, there is another intention to provide these ingredients for Tang Xingheng to process. He hoped that during this time in the ancient bar, he could use these special ingredients to provide some help to Tang Xingheng.
After all, in his previous life, Xu Haibao wanted to help Tang Xingheng, but he couldn't help due to his limited ability. There is a chance in this life, Xu Haibao naturally wants to help this forgetful friend and make up for Tang Xingheng's regrets!
