“When you do good things, your meals taste better.”
Outside, the bright moon rises on the sea, surrounded by the boundless ocean. The Dragon Tooth Soldier quietly dived into the water with a thermos cup half an hour ago. He didn't show his head because he didn't need to breathe. The coconut groves of Ceylon Island can be vaguely seen on the skyline. They can "walk" all the way back along the continental shelf - given their weight, they can indeed fall to the bottom of the sea and stay all the way. All that's left is to eat.
The "Four Heavenly Kings" are placed on the Shangluo table, namely Hainanese chicken rice, Hokkien fried noodles, bak kut teh and laksa. Apart from anything else, it can be seen that the fried noodles are indeed freshly fried. It's not far away. He even heard the sound of a large iron pot being turned over in the kitchen just now. Hainanese chicken rice is not a pre-made dish, it is really a freshly chopped chicken, because there is only one chicken leg and one wing. One person and half a chicken, four people chopped two chickens.
"Speaking of it, this Hainanese chicken is pretty much the same as Yingtian's roast duck." The stewardess chatted while serving the food, "Yingtian's roast duck is also sold by vendors on the street, right?"
"It used to be like this." Wen Yuan replied, "Now there are stalls along the street and some in small shops. In addition to selling roast duck, they also sell other braised vegetables."
"That's indeed the same. Hainanese chicken is also sold by cooked food vendors along the streets in Xingzhou, and it is also sold with barbecued pork and braised meat. It's just that Hainanese chicken rice is the most famous, just like Yingtian's roast duck is the most famous."
"No wonder it's freshly cut. There are parts and pieces. It's the same as the roast duck we cut over there. Do you deliver it with side dishes?"
"Send some fruits and vegetables, as well as sauce. Where is Jingli?" the steward asked. Although urban life in the world empire is similar everywhere, there are still some "subtle" differences.
"Our roast duck needs to be marinated in soup. It is usually served with some side dishes, usually soy products. Because there is a lot of oil when marinating vegetables, and these oils cannot be used repeatedly, so they will end up in the marinade once. Use soy products to finish it off and absorb the oil. These are usually sold half and half free, and if you buy roast duck, you will get some free."
"Go to Confucius Temple to eat?"
"No, no, no, the roast duck in Confucius Temple doesn't come with soup. I heard that recently there are roast ducks that are vacuum-preserved with tinfoil. Is this thing edible? You can just find a stall on the roadside and buy it. It's not that delicious. Those who went there were all delicious.”
"That's indeed the same. But don't worry, this Hainanese chicken rice is absolutely authentic and certified by locals."
"By the way." Shangluo suddenly remembered, "If we go to Xingzhou, where should we go to eat Hainanese chicken rice? Should we also look for it on the street?"
"Ah," the steward thought for a moment, "it existed when I was a kid. It doesn't exist anymore, but there is a hawker center. Those old stalls have opened their shops in the hawker center, so you don't have to go to several streets separately. You can eat it. In addition, you can refer to this menu, which is a very authentic menu. In addition to the 'Four Heavenly Kings' recommended above, there are also oyster cakes, fried noodles, stir-fried barley teow, and if you want to eat barbecue, there is also satay. BBQ. There are a lot of them anyway—is there such a place in Beijing?"
"There is no such thing." Wen Yuan shook his head, "At least it doesn't exist in Jiangning County. The land is too tight. But there are some old streets where you can go shopping, and they are generally similar. Oh~~this fried noodles."
He had just taken a bite and said, "There are a lot of shrimps in this fried noodles! Such big shrimps! How good are you eating in Nanyang?"
"Because of this, how should I put it, the aquatic products of Nanyang are not very valuable, so we usually eat this."
"Oh!!! I even want to move to Nanyang."
"I advise you not to come." The steward shook his head, "It's too hot and there are a lot of mosquitoes. And the national surname puts a lot of pressure on you. Some people call Xingzhou Zhengjiazhou and Pontianak Zhengjiadian. Of course, if you like If you want to eat, you won’t be hungry when you come to Sin Chew. But let’s be honest, Nanyang cuisine is the most classic street food. The dishes above can easily collide with Cantonese cuisine, and the most distinctive ones are various curry stews. Seafood. So, do you have any comments?"
Shangluo had just finished eating the fried noodles. He wiped his mouth and said, "It would be better if there were more noodles. There are too many shrimps and I'm not full."
"It doesn't matter, keep going." The purser didn't go anywhere else. Her job at this time is to serve the meals in the suite. "Then next is the curry crab and steamed lobster. Will the nasi lemak be served together?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." The four of them nodded in unison.
"Ah." Shangluo leaned back on the chair. I'm full now.
"It's good to be next to the kitchen." Wen Yuan burped, "You can order here at any time and cook at any time there. If it's not too expensive, I'd like to sit there again."
"Let's wait until someone gets reimbursed next time." Lu Huaiyang folded his arms and sat beside him to look at the moon. He ate much less and just had some spring rolls for dinner to fill his stomach. This place has entered the scope of the Eastern Hemisphere. You can use Fetion brand, but the signal is not very good. After dinner, he was scrolling through messages one after another.
After a while, the flight attendant came in with several flight attendants, "Please go out and wait a moment while we make the bed. We need to lower the folding bed from the wall."
Shangluo glanced back - he hadn't noticed before that the part of the wall that looked like a soft package was actually a folding bed that could be put down. It doesn't take up much space when flying and can be folded down and put away when taking a rest. This is very convenient.
Because there were 5 people in this room, the flight attendant even flattened the airline sofa and made another one.
When it was busy inside, Shangluo and others went out.
"Well, what should we do?" He looked left and right. The cockpit was on the left and the kitchen was on the right.
"Is there anyone who's not full yet? Let's go eat some more?" Wen Yuan raised his hand, and the other two slowly followed suit.
"Well, I'm quite full. Then I'll walk around while you continue to eat."
Staggeringly, he walked to the door of the cockpit - he wanted to see the difference between a normal civil aircraft and a rocket plane.
Peering in from the door of the cockpit, the pilot seats and radio stations on the left and right sides were empty, and the crew had gone to eat. There were only three people squatting in front of the bridge, making noisy noises and not knowing what they were doing.
"Huh?" Captain Chen looked back when he noticed someone behind him, and saw familiar eyes.
"Ah, sorry, I'm leaving now."
"No, no, no, don't leave. Shangluo, right? Come in, come in. Are you full?"
"Thank you for the treat. I'm very full."
Shangluo pushed the door halfway open and walked in carefully to avoid hitting the buttons on the walls on both sides.
"Is something wrong?" he asked.
"We have a lightbulb that can't be repaired here. I've been busy all day. I even gave Wangzai milk, but it just doesn't work. I've repaired it, dismantled it, repaired it, but it doesn't light up. Can you take a look? Come on. , get out of the way and let the professionals come on.”
Chen himself got out of the way first. Seeing this, several others got out of the way even though they were not familiar with Shangluo.
"Okay, let me try." Shangluo stepped forward and took the light bulb, twisted it, and resisted the urge to lick it. He just breathed "ha" and twisted it back again.
The lightbulb came on.
"Professional!" Captain Chen was about to applaud when suddenly there was a "pop" sound, the light bulb went out again, and a switch popped up somewhere behind his back.
"It seems the problem is a bit big. Do you have a picture?" He unscrewed it again, and several others had already gone to check which switch had been tripped.
"Wait a minute, the picture is here." Just as he was about to lower his head to look for it, a searchlight suddenly lit up on the sea in the distance. One, two, three, searchlights and navigation lights were connected in a string, spreading their left and right wings like a flying swallow. At the same time, a call sounded on the radio.
Captain Chen picked up the walkie-talkie, chatted a few words very quickly, and hung up the radio.
Shangluo didn't understand.
"What's the matter? What's in front of you?"
"It's okay. It's the Lanfang Fleet, probably from the Chengzi Aviation Squadron. They said there is a temporary mission here and asked us when we will take off. They will use carrier-based aircraft to escort us for a period. It's not a big problem. We will fly to the star tonight as planned. Zhou. Here’s the picture for you. I’m thinking, is there not enough milk from Wangzai? Do I need another bottle?”
