Hearing Zheng Jing's words, the waiter smiled and said, "I recommend you to eat paella." This is the hottest and most authentic food in Spain. ”

Paella?

Zheng Jing looked for it on the menu, and the first page was it.

Obediently, when I saw the introduction to this food, a whole page was devoted to the origin of this food.

Seeing so many words, Zheng Jing looked at it curiously.

He wanted to see what the origin of this paella was.

Paella originated in a small harbour called Valen on the east coast of Spain.

As soon as it appeared, this "rice" with vegetables, meat and various toppings quickly swept the whole of Spain and even the world.

In fact, it is a bit biased to translate paella as paella, because this "rice" can add vegetables, meat and other ingredients, and these ingredients are not static, and the changeable approach is the essence of Spanish cuisine.

Paella is made with Spanish short rice, and traditional valen rice contains different stir-fried meats, including chicken, rabbit and even snail meat.

Before cooking, first of all, you need to prepare an iron pot, then light an open flame, brush the pan with a layer of olive oil, sauté some garlic and vegetables first, then pour in the rice, and finally the dish is ready.

Due to the advantages of the coast, paella is usually based on seafood and shellfish ingredients such as prawns, mussels, and fish, which is why paella has become popular all over Europe and the United States in a short period of time.

Of course, different regions use different meats, spices, and vegetables, so the rice and seafood should be cooked together to allow all the flavor of the seafood to penetrate into the rice.

The alluring color of red, red, yellow and yellow comes from the precious saffron spice, which is a little raw and unaccustomed to some foreigners who are accustomed to eating soft and glutinous rice, but its charming aroma, delicious taste, and rich ingredients make it difficult to refuse.

Seeing such an introduction, Zheng Jing was curious, he looked at the table with guests around him, and saw a large plate of paella.

Seeing the tempting color and aroma of seafood, Zheng Jing nodded to the waiter.

"Let's have a paella."

"Yes, sir."

In addition to paella, Zheng Jing also saw several Spanish stews.

That's right, it's a stew, seeing the picture of the stew, Zheng Jing wanted to say that this is not a very common stew in China, looking at the color, maybe it's not as delicious as cabbage stewed vermicelli.

Zheng Jing shook his head, didn't order, and finally he ordered another dish of Spanish cold soup.

Originating from Andalusia in southern Spain, the Spanish cold soup is a common appetizer in the summer in the hot regions of Spain.

The soup is usually an appetizing orange-red color, and the basic ingredients are chopped tomatoes, garlic and other fresh vegetables such as cucumbers, bell peppers, etc., which can be seasoned with vinegar, olive oil and spices.

Avocado and zucchini are sometimes used instead of tomatoes to make a green gazpacho that is also delicious!

Sometimes, in order to match meat and vegetables, the surface of the gazpacho is sprinkled with shredded ham, eggs and other ingredients, and in order to increase the texture of the soup, it is usually accompanied by roasted crunchy slices of bread and dipped in it.

If it is winter, drink it after a little heating, it also has a different taste, but be careful not to be too hot, it will destroy the vitamin C in vegetables and fruits.

Seeing the introduction of this dish, Zheng Jing was looking forward to the taste of this dish.

Putting the menu together, Zheng Jing observed the environment of this Spanish restaurant.

In addition to the decoration of this hotel, a lot of Spanish characteristic images were used, and the walls were also hung with Spanish special items.

The lights in the hotel are warm, which makes people feel very warm, like coming home.

Soon, two dishes came up one after another, and when the final paella was served, Zheng Jing also saw that the restaurant gave him a glass of homemade juice.

The cold juice has a fruity aroma that makes you want to take a sip.

Taking a sip of the cold watermelon juice, Zheng Jing looked at the two items of food on the table.

Smelling the steaming paella, Zheng Jing couldn't help but pick up the spoon and eat it.

…………

After eating for more than half an hour, Zheng Jingcai came out of the restaurant with a full burp.

I have to say that paella is popular all over the world, and it does have some strength.

With so many ingredients mixed together, the flavor of any ingredient is not particularly prominent under the fusion of rice, and the taste of several ingredients appears in the mouth one after another in one bite, and the taste is really impressive.

The Spanish cold scald tastes ok, but not as good as the paella.

It can only be considered improvised.

Coming out of the mall, Zheng Jing began to wander around.

As a business district, there are not many entertainment venues here, most of them are large and small shopping malls and some high-end restaurants.

Now it's time for lunch, and it's also the time when there are the most people here.

Young men and women who work around, come out of the company in droves and come here in search of a place to eat.

After walking around and taking a video, Zheng Jing followed the map to the three Dixie monuments.

Zheng Jing thought that this was a square, but who knew that this was just an ordinary park.

Three brown monuments are next to each other, erected in front of the park.

Looking at these three statues, Zheng Jing looked left and right, is this the attraction?

Everyone else is numb, such places are all attractions, let alone other places.

Zheng Jing originally wanted to go somewhere else to see, but when he saw these three statues, he thought about it and didn't waste time, let's go back to sleep.

I hailed a taxi on the side of the road in the park, and Zheng Jing asked the driver in the car what tourist attractions there were in Gaborone.

"Tourist attractions? We don't have any tourist attractions here, after all, the city has only been established for 60 years, so there are no tourist attractions. ”

Hearing the driver's words, Zheng Jing remembered that this city was built from a barren land, and it is indeed impossible to have tourist attractions.

"Of course, if you really want to go shopping, I recommend going to the Okavango Delta, which is a savannah where you can visit."

"Is there nowhere else in the Okavango Delta other than what you said?"

The driver shook his head and said, "No, although there is no turmoil in our country, because of the geographical location, there is nothing particularly worth visiting." ”

The driver was very sincere, and when he got out of the car, he also told him not to be deceived, the tourist attraction is only the Okavango Delta, and the rest of the place is fake.

Back at the hotel, the front desk guy has been replaced by another bald front desk.

Back in the room on the second floor, Zheng Jing went to the bathroom to take a shower, and when he came out, he lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone.

……………

May 27 at 11 a.m.

A Serbian flight took off from Sir Seretsekama International Airport.

Sitting on the plane, Zheng Jing ran into the flight attendant he met last time.

The flight attendant was very happy to see him, and scratched his palm with her fingers when she gave him a blanket.

Zheng Jing smiled at her and whispered a time to her.

Hearing Zheng Jing's words, she gestured to Zheng Jing, and then twisted her ass and left.

After more than 24 hours in the air, the plane landed safely at Ocean International Airport.

Coming out of the airport, Zheng Jing went straight to the parking lot to find his car.

Looking at the dusty body, Zheng Jing decided to go to the car wash shop to wash the car first.

Leaving the airport, while waiting for the traffic light, Zheng Jing looked at the time.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, I don't know where Wu Shixun is.

Thinking of the ivory in the space, Zheng Jing decided to go back and clean up first, and let them come over tomorrow.

"Wash the car."

Coming to the car wash near the community, Zheng Jing drove the car in.

Seeing Zheng Jing, the shopkeeper got up from his chair and said with a smile: "Mr. Zheng, did you just come back?" ”

"yes, I just came back from outside, and I came directly to you."

"Okay, you sit for a while, it'll be fine soon, is it still washing inside?"

"No need, just wash the body."

While the boss was washing his car, Zheng Jing sat on a chair outside and waited.

Taking out his mobile phone, Zheng Jing opened WeChat and took a look, and found that Wu Shixun had sent him photos of the items in this auction.

Zheng Jing looked at it carefully.

I have to say that there are indeed a lot of good things in the Qing Dynasty special session held by Poly this time.

From Shunzhi to Guangxu, there are porcelain fired by nine emperors during their tenure.

In addition to some rare royal items, some famous porcelain also appeared in this auction.

"Damn, this thing?"

When Zheng Jing saw the pastel eight-treasure three-legged amphora, he was surprised.

There are still such good things, to be honest, Zheng Jing regrets it.

If he knew that there was such a good thing, he would rush back to everything.

This is an amphora from the Qianlong period, and there are very few surviving ones, and the one he knows of appeared in 2018 at the high-end art auction held by Bicester Auction Company in Taidao.

At that time, the final auction price was 12.8 million RMB.

After so many years, this amphora stove must not be sold for 20 million prices?

Even if there are not 20 million, there are still 15 or 6 million.

Isn't it better to increase the value of four or five million in six years than to start a company?

This is also the reason why many wealthy people like to participate in auctions.

In addition to money laundering, most wealthy people do so to give a guarantee to future generations.

Gold aside, what can be as stable in price as antiques and appreciate in value if you are lucky?

Zheng Jing sent a message to Wu Shixun, and he wanted to ask how much money was paid for the amphora.

Soon, Wu Shixun replied to the message.

"Sixteen million eight million!"

Four million in six years.

Just this small amphora, the value of six years increased by four million, if this is in the hands of five or six years, without 20 million, don't even think about it.

Zheng Jing asked who took this amphora stove.

"It's a phone auction, I don't know who it is."

Also, the people who can take out 16 million at once are definitely not ordinary people.

"Mr. Zheng, it's done."

Hearing the boss's words, Zheng Jing agreed.

Looking at the clean body, Zheng Jing said with a smile: "This looks much better." ”

"The money was sent to you."

"Okay, let's go slowly."

Leaving from the car wash, I drove for five minutes and came to the entrance of the community.

When the doorman on duty saw the car, he knew that Zheng Jing had returned.

"It's back, Mr. Zheng."

"yes, I'm back."

When he got home, Zheng Jing saw that the room was very clean and there was not the slightest trace of dust.

Looks like the housekeeper came over to clean him today.

Coming to the courtyard, Zheng Jing took a look at the fruit trees and vines.

Seeing that there was no problem with the fruit tree, Zheng Jing was relieved.

When I came out of the shower, it was already dark.

I looked at the time, and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

I can't imagine that time passes so quickly.

Touching his stomach, Zheng Jing took out some food from the space and ate it.

After eating and drinking, he sat on the sofa and sent a message to Wu Shixun.

Tell them that he is home now, that he has brought things back, and that they will come to his house tomorrow.

Wu Shixun was having dinner with Hu Wenwen and the four of them, and when he saw the news sent by Zheng Jing, he put down the fast son in his hand and said, "Xiao Zheng said that he had arrived home, and also said that we should go to his house tomorrow." ”

When Hu Wenwen heard that Zheng Jing had returned, he hurriedly said, "Did he say that he brought those things back?" ”

"Brought back, you see, it's a message from him." Wu Shixun handed him the phone.

Seeing Zheng Jing's message, Hu Wenwen was overjoyed.

He was particularly concerned that customs would not allow the ivory to enter the country.

He was worried for the past two days.

Now it's okay, Zheng Jing has brought things back, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

Hu Wenwen handed the mobile phone to Wu Shixun and said to a few people: "Zheng Xiaozi's channel is okay, and that thing can be brought in." ”

Wu Shixun: "Cut, I already told you two days ago, don't worry about him not being able to bring it back, you see, now believe it, right?" ”

Several people nodded in unison, and Zhang Zhiyuan said: "What you said two days ago was like bragging, who would have thought that it was actually true, and the thing was really brought in by him." ”

"Hahaha, what I said at the time was true, who made you not believe it."

Wu Shixun was overjoyed to see a few people deflated.

At that time, he said that Zheng Jing has to go abroad many times a year, and he knows many people and channels abroad, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to bring such items as ivory.

Not to mention domestically, you can bring it back from abroad and you don't have to worry about what to do domestically.

"Isn't that right? Call him over for dinner. ”

Seeing that it was still early, they had just sat down, just in time for Zheng Guo to come and eat together.

Wu Shixun thought about it, how could he forget about this matter.

sent a message to Zheng Jing, and Zheng Jing replied to him while lying on the bed.

Hearing the information, Wu Shixun knew that Zheng Jing had already sent the news.

After reading the message, Wu Shixun said to several people: "He said that he was very tired from the plane, and he was resting now, so he couldn't come." ”

Hearing that Zheng Jing had rested, everyone was not calling him, let him rest and rest, and it would not be too late to go to his house tomorrow to get together again.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the 29th, Zheng Jing was editing the video, and there were not many videos shot in Botswana this time, so he wanted to edit the video as soon as possible.

"Jingle Bell~"

Seeing the mobile phone ringing, Zheng Jing picked it up and looked at it and found that it was the doorman calling.

I think it should be Wu Shixun and they are here.

The phone was connected, and sure enough, it was them.

"Mr. Zheng, there are five old gentlemen looking for you."

"Yes, let them in."

"Okay, I'll let them in when they're done registering."

Hanging up the phone, Zheng Jing suddenly thought of something and hurriedly ran upstairs.

He hadn't taken out the mess of ivory and hides.

After putting everything in the living room on the first floor, Zheng Jing went back outside and waited.

As soon as he came to the door, Zheng Jing saw two cars driving from a distance.

Seeing the familiar license plate, Zheng Jing waved his arms happily.

"Zheng boy, you can do this house."

"You should have a lot of money for a house in this neighborhood, right?"

"No wonder you always run abroad, it turns out that you are not bad for money."

When Wu Shixun and the others saw the courtyard in front of them, they were all shocked.

Seeing the surprised looks of these five masters, Zheng Jing hurriedly let them in.

When they came to the courtyard, Wu Shixun and the five were even more shocked.

"I didn't expect the yard to be so big."

"It costs two or three hundred million to buy a house like this, right?"

Zheng Jing smiled, scratched his head and said, "Almost." ”

Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Wang Yangming was so shocked that he took a breath of cool air.

So much money? Obediently, no wonder Zheng Jing doesn't have to go to work.

"Where's the stuff?"

Seeing that several people were attracted by the area of the yard, Hu Wenwen whispered: "Where is the ivory?" ”

The other four were surprised by the size and value of the courtyard when they suddenly heard Hu Wenwen's words.

A few people remembered that they had come to see the ivory this time.

"Yes, yes, it's important to see things."

When they came to the living room, they just looked at it curiously, and then they looked at the ivory and animal fur placed next to the sofa.

Seeing that there were only two tusks, Hu Wenwen asked, "Why are there only two, aren't there five?" ”

"If you want to bring these things back, you must take care of them, otherwise you won't be able to bring them back."

Hearing Zheng Jing's words, the five of them instantly understood.

Also, it will cost a lot of money to bring back ivory and hides.

Hu Wenwen put on white gloves and quickly picked up an ivory.

"Good stuff, really good stuff. I haven't seen such a good ivory in years. ”

"yes, I've seen such a complete ivory once in my eighties."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"This hide is not bad, it's all made." Wu Shixun saw that the two tusks had been obtained, so he had to look at the animal skin on the side.

"What kind of skin is this?"

Wu Shixun picked up a gray leather and asked.

Zheng Jing came over and said, "This is a hippopotamus skin." ”

"It turns out that hippopotamus skin is like this, what is the best thing to do with such a thick skin?"

"Of course it's a bag."

Wang Yangming walked over and said.

Hearing Wang Yangming's words, Wu Shixun nodded.

"Yes, it's a pity that such a good hippopotamus skin doesn't make a bag."

"It's a pity that I don't know anyone who designs leather bags, otherwise I'll introduce you."

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, anyway, these skins are all made, as long as they are stored properly, there is no need to worry about hair growth." Zheng Jing said casually.

"Come on, come on, have you figured out what to do with this ivory?"

Hu Wenwen asked expectantly.

Zheng Jing had already thought about it just now, and said, "I will keep this ivory, and I will give you the remaining one." ”

Hearing that Zheng Jing was going to give them an ivory, Hu Wenwen and the five of them were stunned.

"That's not going to work, how could we ask for your stuff." Wu Shixun came back to his senses and said.

"yes, yes, how can we ask for your things, you just keep them."

Seeing a few people say this, Zheng Jing said: "A few masters don't need to talk about it, I have already thought about it, this ivory will be given to you, and I will keep this one for collection." ”

"Say no more. If you don't want me, I'll throw it away. ”

saw Zheng Jing's serious look.

Several people looked at it, and finally looked at Wu Shixun.

Zheng Jing was introduced to them by Wu Shixun, and he could only be allowed to speak at this time.

Seeing the eyes of several old brothers, Wu Shixun said: "Since you have said so, then we will accept it." ”

Wu Shixun thought a lot, Zheng Jing was the only one with him, and he would definitely get married in the future, and when he got married, he decided to give him a big gift.

"That's right."

Seeing Wu Shixun put the ivory under his hands, Zheng Jing took out the five zebra skins he had prepared and gave them them.

The words of sending them zebra skins had been said two days before they came, and Wu Shixun and the others did not refuse

"This zebra skin is really good, such a big leather has been made into a few satchels."

Hu Wenwen looked at the zebra skin that was taller than him, and thought of his granddaughter in his mind.

Thinking of his granddaughter, Hu Wenwen glanced at Zheng Jing thoughtfully.

After looking at the things that Zheng Jing brought back, Zheng Jing took them to see his house again.

After looking at the house, the time also came to noon.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wu Shixun proposed to go out to eat.

Qian Jin touched his stomach and said, "Yes, I'm hungry." ”

Since Qian Jin said so, several people had to put down their things and go out to eat.

"This is one of the best private restaurants in Ocean City, and you have to make a reservation in advance to eat here, otherwise there will be no seats."

Wu Shixun said to Zheng Jing.

"Spring Garden"

Seeing the name of this private restaurant, Zheng Jing was already looking forward to it.

This is the first time he has come to a private restaurant to eat, and he doesn't know what it tastes like.

"Does the gentleman have an appointment?"

Entering the hotel, Zheng Jing saw a beautiful woman with a beautiful appearance and a tall figure walking over.

"Mr. Wu."

After looking at the appointment list, there is indeed a person surnamed Wu.

Hearing Wu Shixun's voice, his identity has been confirmed.

"Gentlemen, please come with me, and I'll show you the way."

Walking in the back line, looking at the waiter's twisted buttocks, Zheng Jing felt the blood surge, and his eyes were red.

It's so tempting to dress.

Soon, several people came to a private room, and the waiter pushed open the door and let them in.

"Gentlemen, please come in."

Coming to the private room, Zheng Jing looked at it curiously.

This private restaurant doesn't look big on the outside, but you can't imagine it on the inside.
