"If I had looked for it myself...ah! I found it!"
【So fast? where? Why didn't I see it? 】
--"welcome."
The clerk wearing the golden arches put down his mop.
"Excuse me, can I borrow the toilet?"
After receiving a positive answer, he put his coat on the back of the chair.
"Thank you!" Shangluo didn't have time to say anything else. This golden arch on the roadside is a life-saver.
No matter what time of day, the Golden Arches toilets are always trustworthy.
After leaving the coat containing Apollonia outside, he finally had a chance to deal with "personal matters."
Three minutes later, Shangluo returned to his seat.
[Have you washed your hands? 】
"I said you can still run away without washing? You have washed yourself, don't worry. By the way, do you want to eat something?"
【Don’t eat? 】 Apollonia replied irritably, apparently annoyed that she couldn't eat.
"Wait, you're angry? Does this mean you could eat before?"
[Can you please stop trying to trick me? Are you Jin Yiwei? Why do you try to find every opportunity to make lies? 】
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, I'll buy something to eat myself." He put on his coat and walked to the counter:
"Well, let me take a look. It's the same as the menu in San Francisco." But if you look closely, there are some surprises on it.
"There's preserved egg and lean meat porridge? Isn't this a menu only found in Kinai?"
"Arrived by air," the clerk replied. The clerk who just swept the floor is now standing behind the counter, "The menu in Las Vegas is different from other places in the New World. We supply directly from Kinai."
"That's true. After all, this place is not under the control of the imperial court... You are also sent from outside? How is the business here?"
"Business is pretty good. But this one is not so good. There are many Golden Arches in Las Vegas, and the ones inside are more lively. This one is closer to the outside, and those natives who come by car won't spend their money here at all." .What do you want to eat?”
"Let me take a look." He felt much better when he learned that there was the same menu as Kinai that he had not seen for a long time.
Looking up, he saw that they were indeed the ones he was very familiar with, but there was no such thing as Shangluo's favorite pauper set meal in his previous life.
"Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, then a cup of lemon black tea, and a fried chicken burger."
"Okay. Please sit down over there and I'll send you back in a minute."
Everything is the same as before. Shangluo felt unprecedentedly comfortable. This place was even closer to the homeland on the other side of the ocean than San Francisco.
Walking back to his seat, a low roar came from the sky.
[Well, the morning airship has also arrived. By the way, airships are more popular here? 】
"People who have nothing urgent will still choose to take an airship. It is spacious and there is no need to huddle your legs behind the seat. Moreover, the plane is too noisy, and the wings will block the view. The airship is more stable and the scenery is better. There are also There is a kitchen for on-site cooking, and you can only eat convenience food on the plane. If I could choose, I would probably choose an airship. It takes three days to return home, but it is as luxurious as a cruise ship."
Just as he was talking, the aroma of preserved egg and lean meat porridge was already coming. It was a long-lost taste - although San Francisco has plenty of supplies, the seasoning is always lackluster. The canteen there doesn't seem to care about whether the diners can eat well or not, but they just serve a lot of good food.
Compared with the radish stew that remains unchanged throughout the year, even the preserved egg and lean meat porridge is considered fresh.
"Well...it's still the original recipe, and it still has a familiar taste." The clerk had already placed his dinner plate on the table. In addition to preserved egg and lean meat porridge, there was also lemon black tea and burgers.
The dinner plate was covered with paper as usual, and it had the same propaganda poster from Kinai: Emperor Taizu was hunted down by Yuan soldiers and fell hungry on the roadside. Suddenly, a kind-hearted old woman came out by the roadside and brought him a piece of food, which was two pieces of grilled bun sandwiched with vegetables and meat. A man will be full after eating one, so it is called Han Bao Bao. Emperor Taizu ate Hanbao buns and defeated the Yuan soldiers in one go.
As for why Hanbao buns were later called hamburgers, it was a joke about Emperor Taizu’s banquet for guests after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, which is on another piece of paper.
"Tsk, is it a burger now... I remember when I saw it before, Emperor Taizu was eating French fries and Emperor Taizu was drinking Coke. How come Emperor Taizu always had people feeding him wherever he went."
[Then your Emperor Taizu is really popular. The Roman emperor would only be exposed to eggs when he went out. Do you want to eat it? Ah...I'm a little hungry for some reason. 】
Shangluo opened his mouth wide and bit into all the layers of the burger in one bite. After all these years, the burger is still as big as ever. Even the two-layer cake is difficult to eat in one bite. The three-layer cake needs to be pinched with your hands to eat it in one bite.
"Hmm~~That's what it tastes like."
You shouldn't talk with your mouth while eating. Only Apollonia can hear his words.
"The aroma of this sauce is familiar. It's a cheap industrial product, but it contains staple food and meat, and gives you the peace of mind that you are full."
He drank the burger in his mouth with tea and breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, I'm alive. Then, let's start working. Time is limited. Eat while you're at it. I have to read some information before I can make a decision."
He put down half of his burger and asked the clerk to borrow a Las Vegas guide map. The various attractions in the city - mainly the "amusement facilities" with various characteristics - are all listed in the atlas.
Along the central axis of the Las Vegas Strip, hotels from all over the world have opened here. There are neoclassical buildings in Rome, Mayan revival buildings in Yangzhou, and miniature replicas of the Egyptian pyramids and the Sphinx. There are six racecourses alone, and they are all close together. Even in the off-season, they are always full. The exquisite picture book has thumbnails of each landmark building. The free guide book alone looks very decent.
Respectability is the specialty of Las Vegas.
This is a gambler's paradise and a gambler's hell. Some people go to heaven physically here, and some people go to hell physically here. Such strange flowers can bloom in the desert, and all secrets can be buried. As long as it is buried, everyone will be decent.
"Where did they take you last time?"
[I don’t know, I was too lazy to care about them, so I made them that closed-loop divination gadget. You have that card with you, and you can use it to divine the outcome of your trip later. Or you can use something else. 】
"Isn't that just perfunctory for them?"
[Yes and no. It was true from send to reply, the cards really gave them answers to the Akashic Records. It's just that I didn't expend energy to help them interpret the hexagrams. If you want, I can help you decipher the hexagrams. And it’s not just the cards. Everywhere I look can be interpreted as a sign. For example, after you finish drinking the black tea, just look at the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup. 】
