Chapter 371: Landing in Samui
Once again, stepping on the territory of Thailand, except for Chen Erdong and Du Yu, they are all different.
Chen Erdong, who was lying comfortably on the beach in Samui four years ago, must not have imagined that the plot of the next four years would be so ups and downs.
Jincheng opened a direct flight to Koh Samui, saving the trouble of transferring, and at 3 pm local time in Thailand, the plane landed in Samui.
With his previous experience, Chen Erdong became the team leader, rented a car at the airport and took everyone to the hotel.
Koh Samui has not changed much, Thailand's infrastructure is not as good as China's, and there are still *** power poles and old buildings everywhere.
It was still early, and it happened to be a clear sky, and for Ye Xu and the other three who went abroad for the first time, the island scenery along the way was enough for them to be ecstatic.
The three young people sang and danced in the car, and even Kang Cien, who was usually serious, felt the passionate atmosphere of youth and danced with them.
Last time I came to Samui, Guan Mingyue's villa was not far from the most lively Chaweng beach, but this time Chen Erdong deliberately chose the relatively secluded Lamai beach.
The villas on the island by the sea are much the same, the moment they open the gate, it is like coming to another dimension, Rao Zhengzhi jumped into the pool directly without even taking off his clothes.
Ye Xu and Zou Xueyao didn't care about shelving their luggage, took out the cartoon float they bought in China, and quickly inflated their feet like hot wheels, and it didn't take long for white swans, small crocodiles and giant pandas to appear in the pool.
The older three looked at them full of childlike fun, in addition to envy or envy, age is this thing, when they are young, they don't care, and they don't know how precious they are until they reach a certain age.
Chen Erdong took his luggage into the room and connected to IFI to check the address of the meal for a while. The three rooms of the villa are identical and have a strong Thai style.
The large bed is filled with rose petals, and a bottle of champagne stands in the middle.
It's all clearly for couples.
Du Yu and Kang Cien changed into Shanghai Island clothes, poured a glass of champagne each, and sat on beach chairs by the pool to watch the young people play in the water.
Without the worries of work, without the worries of trivial matters, time seems to slow down.
Chen Erdong leaned against the door frame, thinking to himself, life still needs to struggle, and when you have money, you can settle here and live a fairy-like life every day.
About an hour later, Chen Erdong said, "It's time for dinner, I looked at the line, and now I'm leaving, just in time for the sunset."
"Wow! Let's go, let's go!" Zou Xueyao was the first to respond, she sat on the little swan and cheered, but the movement was too loud, and she accidentally fell underwater, and suddenly laughter rang out, echoing in the small courtyard of the villa.
Watching the sunset on the island is definitely a feast for the eyes, but the elevation difference on the island's roads, coupled with the obstruction of buildings, it is difficult to complete and continuous lingering beauty, Chen Erdong accelerated the accelerator, and the restaurant he found was on Lamai Beach, where he could sit and watch quietly.
When they arrived at their destination, the restaurant he had liked was closed, and everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but there were several more restaurants along the beach, and a restaurant called Sunset Restaurant caught their eye.
The sunset bar is not big, the store has moved all the tables and chairs to the beach, just enough to watch the sunset on the sea and sky, and the name of the restaurant bar is good, it is the most appropriate one in this row of restaurants.
Kang Cien brought a selfie stick and found a variety of angles that best reflected the beauty of the sunset, and the six of them took more than 100 photos against the backdrop of the afterglow.
The dishes are all in order, and for the three young people who can enjoy the food surrounded by beauty as soon as they go abroad for the first time, there is a feeling of being in vain.
Chen Erdong tasted a spoonful of Tom Yum Gong soup, which is his ultimate obsession with the taste of Thailand, and the moment the soup soaked into the tip of his tongue, Chen Erdong exclaimed: "Lao Du, this soup is so delicious, it is better than the last time we came to drink!"
Seeing Chen Erdong so exaggerated, Du Yu, who was forking the squid with a fork, hurriedly stopped, and scooped a scoop with a spoon instead, and after this mouthful, he actually issued the same praise: "It's really, why is it so delicious!"
Ye Xu ate Thai food once in Jincheng, and he liked the sour and spicy taste very much, but after all, he was opened in China
Whether the exotic cuisine is authentic or not is unknown to her.
Chen Erdong fed her, Ye Xu drank it and hurriedly filled his bowl with a full bowl, compared to the time she ate in Jincheng, it was completely two levels, she asked, "What is added here?" Can you make this taste? I thought it was very good at the one I ate in Jincheng before, but it couldn't compare to this bowl at all!"
"A lot of Thai food in China is the kind of soup packets that I bought, and this kind of local restaurants are all made by themselves, of course, it can't be compared." Du Yu said.
Among the people here, only Du Yu and Chen Erdong have done catering, but when it comes to knowledge, Chen Erdong is not as good as Du Yu.
Du Yu tasted a few more dishes and began to explain the difference between domestic Thai food and local restaurants, focusing on the difference in raw materials and methods.
"If all the local ingredients are used in Thai food in China, the cost is a problem, and there is another point, when foreign food arrives in China, it will be improved according to our taste, so it is difficult to eat authentic Thai food in China."
Zou Xueyao listened very seriously, every time Du Yu said a dish, she would use her chopsticks to taste it, and then asked, "Brother Du, do you have to improve it?" I think it's the best of the best."
Du Yu said with a smile: "Now that public opinion is so developed, if you don't improve, a few keyboard warriors will not be satisfied, and the business will not be done?"
"I don't understand, I ate a Vietnamese noodle shop in Canada, and it tasted exactly the same as when I went to Vietnam, and I ate it a few times when I returned to China, but it didn't taste right." Kang Cien said.
"And Thai hot pot is very popular in China now, I have been to Thailand a few times, and I haven't seen a few hot pot sellers." Du Yu said.
"Haha, Jincheng people love hot pot, so they all sell Thai hot pot!" Zou Xueyao said happily.
The first meal in Samui, everyone seemed to have no upper limit, open to eat, after the first round of dishes was eliminated, another table was ordered, and Du Yu ordered many dishes on the menu that had not been tried.
The sun slept, the sky darkened, the two colors of the sea and the sky gradually merged, and the sound of the waves became clearer.
The shopkeeper began to get busy, putting away the tables and chairs that were not occupied and replacing them with rattan sofa chairs, which were closer to the sea.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked over, smiled and said in English, "After eating, you can drink here and watch the show."
Du Yu talked to him a few words, and it turned out that he was the owner of the sunset restaurant.
Du Yu did not hesitate to praise his family's dishes, and the boss thanked them again and again, and this excitement directly gave them a dozen beers.
The show on the beach is a fireworks display, which Chen Erdong experienced last time he came, so there is not much novelty.
Ye Xu and Zou Xueyao watched the firelight fly with great interest, while he leaned back on the sofa chair thoughtfully.
Thinking back to the Thai food he just talked about, Chen Erdong thought to himself, is it difficult to move Thai ingredients back to Jincheng to open an authentic Thai restaurant?
