Chapter 1432: The Corridor of Time
"Roast pigeon, shawarma, fried fish, kataifu, herb chicken Arabic rice, Samosa dumplings, salmon curry, as you commanded...... These are all Egyptian specialties.
The juices are mango, sugar cane, orange juice, and mixed flavors, I recommend you to try the sugar cane juice, which is usually the favorite drink of the guests, sir.
I hope you enjoy your meal here, and if you need anything, please feel free to ask, and I will be waiting at the door. ”
After the middle-aged hotel manager in a black suit personally served the dishes, he helped introduce the names of the dishes on the table, and various dishes were placed on two large tables, with a total of two portions of each dish, and he ordered them with his bodyguards and assistants.
"Thanks, it tastes so good."
After Han Xuan finished speaking to the restaurant manager, he poured himself a glass of sugarcane juice, and also helped Anya pour a cup, he had drunk it at the school gate in his previous life, and he was almost unable to remember the taste of sugarcane juice.
As a foodie, whenever you go to a place, you naturally have to taste the local food first.
There are not many Egyptian restaurants in the United States, and I have never had the opportunity to eat them in my life, so after I went back to my room and washed my face, I asked the waiter at the Hilton Hotel to arrange for all the specialties to be served.
The hotel's instructions to Han Xuan can be said to be responsive, not too troublesome, just said to wait.
Due to the lack of material preparation, it took nearly an hour and a half to wait for these tables, which can be said to be the Egyptian version of the "Manchu and Han full feast", all kinds of dishes are placed, which can dazzle the eyes of flower people, and all kinds of fragrances are mixed together, making their appetite move.
Fat Ding squatted on the table, with a small plate in front of him, it couldn't wait to eat, just stretched out its paws and saw the threatening eyes of its owner, its expression was tangled for a while, and it didn't dare to continue to stretch after all, and it was so anxious that it was about to roll and splash.
Han Xuan took a sip of freshly squeezed sugarcane juice, the sweetness was just right, it was perfect to add a few pieces of ice in this hot weather, the restaurant space was too large, the air conditioning and refrigeration effect was not good, and almost no one was there at noon.
Secretary Dawson stood beside Han Xuan and began to busily divide the meal, there were only three people at this table, including William, and he would definitely not be able to eat so much food.
Divide a little for Han Xuan, Anya, and William, and take the rest to another table, where the bodyguards and assistants are there, each taking a plate to enjoy as a buffet, no one doesn't like to eat food, but they just think that the lunch is so hearty and too greasy.
Start with Kata-Eve, a sweet that is usually only eaten during Ramadan, which is a bit like Chinese dumplings, but much larger.
The filling is made of raisins, pine nuts, etc., and after wrapping, it is not boiled or steamed, but put into an oil pan and fried...... Anyway, Han Xuan gave up after only one bite, and rinsed his mouth with water, which in his opinion was really not delicious.
Samosa is very popular in India, Israel, etc., and since Egypt is located in the Middle East, Samosa is also considered a popular food in Egypt.
When Han Xuan was in India, he had eaten Indian-style Samosa, and the fillings in the Samosa dumplings in front of him changed from curry, potatoes, green beans, etc. to ground beef, cheese, etc., and the taste and experience were very different from before.
Arabic rice is slender and hard, and in addition to large pieces of chicken, there are various herbs, spices and nuts in the herb chicken rice.
Egyptian food has a heavy taste, a few are very delicious, most Han Xuan doesn't like it, taste a little bit of everything, and at the end of the meal, you can't tell the taste......
"Do you usually eat lunch like this?
When I was at school, a sandwich for lunch was enough, and dinner wasn't as big as it is today, unless it was a banquet.
Life is really happy, and I want to be like you one day to achieve financial freedom and order all the food on the menu just to taste each other. ”
Prince William is eating pigeon breast, very gentle, but fast.
Anya couldn't eat anymore, she covered her mouth and burped quietly, after Han Xuan heard it, he looked at her and smiled, and said: "There is a quite famous dish in this area, we can try it tonight, it is the largest dish in the world, enough to feed a hundred people." ”
Secretary Dawson heard about it and immediately laughed, when he was in Dubai, he heard the little boss talk about it.
Prince William didn't know, and asked in surprise: "Let a hundred people be fed, that's really a lot, what kind of dish?" ”
"Roast camels.
This dish is almost universally found in Arab countries, and nomads often serve roasted camels to their guests at festive feasts.
This surprisingly large dish is made with eggs, fish, chicken, or duck, sheep, and camels, and they stuff hard-boiled eggs into the belly of the fish, which is then baked and stuffed into the belly of the chicken or duck.
Then the roasted chicken or duck is stuffed into the belly of the sheep, and when the sheep is cooked, it is stuffed into the belly of the camel, and finally the whole camel is roasted with special seasonings, which is said to be very delicious.
Prime Minister Ismail told me just now that he was already preparing a roast camel to welcome us, and that it would probably not be ready until the evening, and that he forgot to ask where he was going, and that he should have informed us of the location.
How about going over and trying it together? ”
Hearing Han Xuan's words, Prince William immediately put down the fork in his hand and complained, "Tell me earlier, I won't eat so much."
It's the first time I've heard of camels being used as food, so I'm going to have to go to such a strange feast. ”
"Camels have a long history of being used as food, and it is recorded that during the Silk Road between the East and the West, Western merchants would bring more camels, which could not only allow them to pull goods, but also provide rations on the way back and forth."
Han Xuan quietly threw a look at Secretary Dawson, and continued to say to William: "I'm going to take Anya to handle a business in the afternoon, how about coming back to you in the evening?" ”
I was going to find the little girl's grandfather, and it was not good to take him with me, William heard that Han Xuan didn't mean to let him go, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back to sleep."
Remember to pay for this meal, and I only took a hundred pounds with me when I went out. ”
"A hundred pounds?" Han Xuan was surprised and asked him, "You dare to travel with only a hundred?" ”
"Aren't you there? Knowing that I was out playing with you, I didn't even think about money. ”
William inherited a fortune from the Princess, but at present he has no right to use it, the money is almost meaningless in his mind, and the whole British people are supporting him, which is quite shameful.
“……”
Han Xuan was speechless, he didn't care about this little thing, and now he just wanted to send the child to her grandfather.
Take a clean, wet towel and wipe your face and hands, stand up and say, "Okay then, let's leave for a while." ”
Telling the manager that the cost was on his head, Han Xuan got in the car from the door of the hotel and left, and the child was still held by Secretary Dawson.
In the restaurant.
One of Prince William's bodyguards was a little discouraged, he received an order from his superiors to take the girl away at night, but he never found a chance to do so.
Now that he found that Han Xuan had left, he could probably guess what he was doing, so he hurriedly hid in the toilet and reported to his superiors.
After carefully asking Prince William about his knew, and also asking about the baby in detail, the bodyguard finally got the order to cancel the plan.....
