"Yuan, have you ordered?" Xiao Xing couldn't help but ask when he saw Yuan Zhou suddenly stop.
"Not yet. Wait a moment." Yuan Zhou shook his head and continued listening to the conversation behind him.
"Oh. You will feel better if you drink some of the hot water on the table," Xiao Xing pointed at the steaming cup on the table and said.
"Um. Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded and then expressed his gratitude.
"You are welcome. This is what I should do," Xiao Xing said as if it was a matter of course.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn't answer. He just smiled and then handed the menu in his hand to Xiao Xing.
"Let me see what you want to eat," Yuan Zhou said.
"Okay. I will give it to the waiter after I order," Xiao Xing nodded and then said.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded.
While Yuan Zhou and Xiao Xing were talking, the man and woman in the back seat were also ordering dishes. They didn't talk about the Yuanzhou shop anymore.
However, Yuan Zhou found that the two of them were very good at English. They could communicate well with the waiter, even if the waiter's accent was very strong.
Just when Yuan Zhou couldn't help but turn his head to look, the two of them started talking again.
"You also know about the Yuanzhou shop?" The girl's voice was a little surprised.
"Of course I know. It is the most famous shop now and you love eating there so much." The man's voice was very doting.
"When I go back, I will definitely stay in the shop for three days. Not a day less," the girl said firmly.
"I don't think that restaurant is open 24 hours a day," the man said doubtfully.
Hearing that, Yuan Zhou couldn't help but nod his head in agreement. He wasn't open 24 hours a day.
"I know. But I want to stay there. Just smelling the food there is good enough," the girl said with a dreamy look on her face.
However, before she could finish her words, she couldn't help but sneeze.
"Damn it. Why is there the smell of spices everywhere? I am going to die," the girl said with a look of despair.
"Alright. I will take you there to eat three meals a day in the Yuanzhou shop. Is that okay?" the man compromised.
"That's more like it. Sigh, I really miss Boss Yuan's cooking." The girl sighed.
After saying this, the man probably wanted to divert the girl's attention and talked about something else. At this time, Yuan Zhou didn't listen to them anymore.
While Yuan Zhou was feeling proud, happy, and touched, Xiao Xing suddenly spoke.
"Yuan, why are you smiling?" Little Xing pointed at the corner of Yuan Zhou's mouth in surprise.
That's right. Yuan Zhou suddenly revealed a smile just now.
"Yes, I'm very happy." Yuan Zhou didn't deny it and nodded.
"What's the good news?" Xiao Xing asked with interest.
"I was just praised," Yuan Zhou said lightly.
"Praise? When? "Xiao Xing was even more confused.
In the past few days, Xiao Xing had discovered that Yuan Zhou didn't like to play with his phone. He wouldn't play with it in the car or before meals. He had never seen Yuan Zhou take out his phone other than when he was talking on the phone.
Well, he would take it out when he was sending WeChat messages, but it was even less than when he was talking on the phone.
Just now, Yuan Zhou was sitting in front of him and didn't have his phone in his hand. Yet, he told Xiao Xing that he had just been praised. This made Xiao Xing very confused.
Xiao Xing looked around and didn't find anything. He looked at Yuan Zhou in confusion.
"Just now. It was someone you don't know," Yuan Zhou explained.
This made Xiao Xing even more confused.
"I just replied to a message. Did you talk to someone?" Xiao Xing asked doubtfully.
"Yes, no. I just heard it." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
Xiao Xing thought for a long time but still didn't understand. When he was about to ask again, the waiter came to serve the dishes.
"Let's eat first," Yuan Zhou said to the waiter.
"Oh, okay." Xiao Xing nodded.
As soon as the dishes arrived, Xiao Xing started to introduce the names of the dishes one by one. As for Yuan Zhou, he took out his chopsticks and took a bite after Xiao Xing finished introducing the dishes. Then, he started to take notes.
Name of the dish: Sour and Spicy Lemon Prawns. A large amount of lime was used. A small lime and a little peppermint were also added to the prawns. After the prawns were cooked in plain water, they were mixed into the sauce.
Taste: Strong flavor of spices. The prawns are medium-sized tiger prawns. The meat quality is good, but the spices are too strong. However, it has a special taste.
Palatability: Not in line with my taste.
"Shua Shua Shua". After Yuan Zhou finished eating a prawn, he took notes like this. And this small notebook was prepared by Yuan Zhou in advance. The notebook was as thick as a knuckle, and he had already written half of the notes.
For the dishes eaten in the restaurant, Yuan Zhou would quickly write them down on the spot. For the snacks eaten outside, he would write them down when he returned to the hotel.
Just like that, Yuan Zhou took notes while eating as usual. After Xiao Xing finished explaining, he started eating.
The two of them ate at a decent speed. After a short while, they finished eating and prepared to leave.
"Tour guide, is your surname Xing or Xing?" Yuan Zhou suddenly asked.
"Xing, Xing from Xing Tian Wu Gan Qi," Xiao Xing answered when he heard Yuan Zhou's question while driving.
"Oh? Xing from Xing Tian? This surname is rare, right? " Only now did Yuan Zhou realize that he had been calling Xing wrongly. Fortunately, the pronunciation of the two surnames was similar. Otherwise, it would have affected the tour guide's impression of him.
"This surname seems to be from Xing Guan," Xiao Xing explained. "Xing is a minor surname. It's rare. Apart from my relatives, I haven't met anyone else with this surname."
Yuan Zhou nodded. As a tour guide, he really knew how to chat.
"By the way, I just asked my colleague. He said that the vegetable market is under renovation and has already been moved away," Xiao Xing raised his head and said to Yuan Zhou.
"Um, it's fine. Let's continue eating," Yuan Zhou said after gulping down a mouthful of mineral water.
"Again?" Xiao Xing was surprised.
"Yes, let's continue," Yuan Zhou nodded.
After coming to Thailand, they hadn't had any good food. Yuan Zhou concluded that it must be because he didn't have any experienced chefs to guide him. Speaking of experienced chefs, didn't he have one beside him?
Therefore, during dinner, he asked the tour guide if there was any good food suitable for a countryman's taste buds.
Xiao Xing answered, "There are many good restaurants in Thailand. For example, Timai Restaurant and Three Fish Restaurant. There are a lot of them. The main thing is what we want to eat."
"Since we are in Thailand, of course, we want to eat the specialties …" Yuan Zhou blurted out. Originally, he wanted to eat the specialties of Thailand, but his nose suddenly smelled a strong fragrance of spices. He swallowed the rest of his words.
"I'm not a picky eater. As long as the food is delicious, the chef is good, the dishes are suitable for most people, and the dining environment is clean, that's all," Yuan Zhou said casually.
"…" What a picky eater. Xiao Xing was silent for a long time. He compared the restaurants he knew and eliminated 80% of them. Then, he chose one from the remaining 20%.
"Three Fish Restaurant is not bad," Xiao Xing said. "The chef of Three Fish Restaurant is quite famous and unique. For example, if the customer wants to eat spicy or light food, the restaurant will use Three Fish Restaurant to fulfill the customer's request."
"That's not bad," Yuan Zhou said with interest.
