After drinking half a bottle of water, Lai Wen seemed to have recovered. He went straight to the point and asked Xu Yun, "What do you think of this place? Isn't it very good?"
Xu Yun nodded and did not deny it. "It's very luxurious."
"Hahaha, this is the life of the rich." Lai Wen said, "Xu Yun, if you can stay with me, you can enjoy everything I enjoy. I can take you to enjoy my life in Africa today."
Xu Yun did not speak and remained silent. He knew that Lai Wen wanted to use this performance to move him and tempt him with all this.
"I know, all this is indeed not something that ordinary people can enjoy." Lai Wen smiled. "But I will let you enjoy it all. Let's go eat something first. I will show you that even in Africa, you can eat the best Chinese food."
"You can eat at this time?" Xu Yun was a little doubtful. After all, it was already late at night.
Lai Wen snorted and said disdainfully, "Money can make the devil turn millstones, let alone a few chefs."
Every chef in Paradise on Sea was top-notch. The food they made was not something that ordinary people could eat.
These chefs were all hired at a ridiculously high price. Moreover, these people had not been working for long. The boss here would not let them work for too long.
After all, the customers of Paradise on Sea were almost a fixed group of people. A chef's food could only be eaten for a year at most. There would never be an endless supply of good dishes.
Therefore, the chefs here were basically signed once a year. However, the salary of a few million pounds a year was not something that anyone could earn. "Fake" chefs who did not have real skills often faced very serious consequences.
Lai Wen remembered very clearly that last year, there was a "fake" chef who made Western food. The food he made was scolded by the customers.
Because there was nothing special at all. It was just an ordinary steak, the kind that could be eaten at any high-end restaurant for a few hundred dollars.
Therefore, the hands of this "fake" chef were chopped off. A Chinese chef used the method of making bear paws to make a braised palm and sent it to the customers as an apology.
Therefore, although there was a lot of money here, it was not so easy to earn.
If he didn't have the ability, he would definitely die a horrible death.
"Let's go to the Chinese restaurant now." Lai Wen really didn't eat anything this afternoon.
Although the owner of the small restaurant had asked the chef to do his best, the so-called "specialty dishes" he made were simply inferior to the swill of this place to Lai Wen.
The Chinese restaurant in Paradise on the Sea was ridiculously extravagant.
The restaurant consisted of a private room, a lounge, and a wing room, which was no different from the design of some big hotels. The pillars of the lounge were red, which symbolized happiness and good health. It was definitely the favorite color of Hua Xia people.
The door was made of Hua Xia's traditional wooden doors and windows. The wood made people feel natural and intimate. The gray paint was low-key, and the black painted glass gave people a modern feeling.
The hall of the Chinese restaurant was relatively spacious and had three doors. The three doors were side by side. The middle door was larger and there was a small door on each side. Entering the hall through the door in the middle of the hall, it was as if a monarch had descended upon a city. Everything in the hall suddenly opened up, with a panoramic view!
Under the guidance of the service staff, Lai Wen and the others directly passed through the hall and entered the side room. This was where Lai Wen wanted to bring Xu Yun. The design of the side room was unique!
The walls were painted with oil paintings of natural scenery. Upon entering, one would feel as if they were in a natural environment. It was in line with the psychological characteristics of rich people who wanted to find a quiet and comfortable natural environment to rest while being busy.
There were also calligraphy and paintings hanging to win the favor of Hua Xia culture lovers. Calligraphy and paintings were the broad essence of Hua Xia culture. The calligraphy and paintings all revealed the long history and continuous self-improvement of Hua Xia culture.
Lai Wen's favorite thing was the decoration of this side room.
Although he was not a refined and cultured person, he was also very fond of calligraphy and paintings. It seemed that any rich person from Hua Xia would have this hobby.
When there was no lack of mansions and luxury cars, people often liked to spend millions or even tens of millions to show their unique taste.
Even the chopsticks in this side room were gold and inlaid with diamonds. It was estimated that a pair of chopsticks would be worth a lot and could be exchanged for an ordinary family car.
Lai Wen didn't ask Xu Yun when he ordered the dishes. He believed that Xu Yun certainly had not eaten these things.
After quickly ordering the dishes, Lai Wen smiled and asked Xu Yun, "Do you want to drink some?"
"I'll listen to Boss Lai," Xu Yun said.
Lai Wen laughed, "That's good. Then let them bring some real good wine."
Even in Hua Xia, there were not many national wine cellars that had been collected for decades, but this Ocean Paradise Cruise Club had them.
One cup was enough for a well-off family in Hua Xia to earn for a year.
The dishes began to be served soon after. The first dish was honey roasted pig fillet with crispy long cowpeas. It looked simple, but the taste was absolutely memorable.
The second dish was crab meat stewed with shark's fin. Just the fragrance was enough to make people salivate!
It was followed by fried prawns, kirin mandarin fish, and other delicacies.
In the end, what surprised Xu Yun was that he was actually served a braised pork roast! One must know that braised pork was a specialty of Yanjing. It originated from Nanheng Street in the south of Yanjing.
It was said that during the Guangxu era, because Dongpo pork cooked with streaky pork was expensive, people replaced it with pig head meat and pig offal. After the spread of cooking experts among the people, over time, it became braised pork.
Braised pork was cooked with braised pig intestines and pig lungs. Then, with fried tofu slices, blood tofu, marinade, and other auxiliary ingredients, the meat would be cooked thoroughly without being sticky, and the meat would be mushy without being ruined!
This thing could definitely be considered as a "street vendor's goods".
However, the braised pork on this cruise ship was completely different from the taste of the street stalls in Yanjing!
There weren't many native Yanjing people who didn't like this. However, after Xu Yun tasted it, he lamented that the taste of the same thing through different hands was so different.
"Hahaha, how is the taste?" Lai Wen smiled. He could hear the Yanjing flavor in Xu Yun's voice, so he concluded that even if Xu Yun wasn't from Yanjing, he had a deep relationship with Yanjing.
Therefore, this dish could be said to be specially ordered by Lai Wen for Xu Yun!
Xu Yun nodded, "I really didn't expect to be able to eat this kind of thing in this kind of place."
"This is not on the same level as the braised pork that can be eaten in Yanjing." Lai Wen said, "There are dozens of things that you can't see in it. That's why the taste is so unusual."
Xu Yun admitted, "This chef is indeed not simple."
"He was hired with an annual salary of five million pounds. What level can he be?" Lai Wen said proudly.
However, this meal was probably more than a few hundred thousand, right?
Xu Yun didn't say much. Since it was such a bad * ss chef, then he would eat more. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the chance to eat in the future.
"Let's try western food after we finish eating," Lai Wen said.
Xu Yun shook his head, "I still prefer Chinese food. This is enough for me to remember."
"Hahaha, then you still don't know how to enjoy it!" Lai Wen said, "The western food here is very good. You don't even have to do it. The steak is cut by the blonde and fed to you one bite at a time."
Xu Yun smiled, "Then I still prefer Chinese food."
"You mean to tell me that you really want to return to China?" Lai Wen suddenly said such a sentence.
Although Xu Yun was a little surprised, he didn't answer. Whether Lai Wen would interpret it as "acquiescence" or not, Xu Yun didn't intend to answer.
