It was another new day, but for Yuan Zhou, it was another bitter day. After yesterday's baptism, he no longer believed that there was such a thing as delicious food in Thailand.
In Yuan Zhou's notebook, he wrote down his preliminary evaluation of Thai cuisine. Due to the geographical location of Thailand, spices were very developed.
Therefore, spices such as vanilla, galangal, lemon leaf, eggplant, etc. became the main characters of the seasoning. In Yuan Zhou's view, it was like the guest overshadowing the host. The spices completely suppressed the natural flavor of the food.
Unless it was raw cucumbers or other raw vegetables, it was very difficult to taste the flavor of the ingredients in Thai cuisine.
"Maybe this is a style. I can't deny it completely, but maybe I really didn't find the right place and didn't see a good combination."
Yuan Zhou checked the remaining gourmet fund (6,800/100000) through the reward section of the system. With tears in his eyes, he still had 6,800 left.
"System, leave some leeway for others in case we meet again in the future." Yuan Zhou said, "I will only stay in Thailand for seven days, and I have to finish 100,000 yuan. It's such a waste. We are all frugal people. Leave some leeway for others. 100,000 yuan is too much."
Yuan Zhou tried to move the system with emotion and reason. He believed that even a person with a heart of stone would be persuaded by him.
It should be noted that Yuan Zhou had tipped almost all the people who came to him for meals in order to spend the gourmet fund.
After all, tipping was required in the restaurants here. Therefore, it could be considered as a gourmet fund. But even so, it had not been used up yet.
After hearing Yuan Zhou's words, the system was silent for a while. Then, the system displayed, "Leeway for others. Host, you only need to spend up to 99999 yuan."
Now, it was Yuan Zhou's turn to be silent. F * ck, leave some leeway for others. Just leave some leeway for others.
If the system was a person, he would definitely rub it against the ground like how Wu Lin rubbed against Wu Hai, rubbing it against the smooth ground.
"You win." Yuan Zhou knew he had been cheated this time. But he would get back at him sooner or later.
While Yuan Zhou was still muttering, his WeChat phone rang. Although he had registered for international roaming, it was better to use a mobile phone when he was abroad. He always contacted the tour guide.
It was still a call from the tour guide. Yuan Zhou hurriedly put on his shoes. Xiao Xing was already waiting for him downstairs.
Other than the Chinatown Roast Duck Restaurant in the evening, he had nowhere else to go, so he drove around aimlessly for the time being.
Xiao Xing was under a lot of pressure. He only brought tourists to have fun. Even if there were foodies, they would eat while having fun.
But Yuan Zhou was the first person who had been here for several days and only focused on eating apart from riding the elephant. This was the first person who had been here.
Xiao Xing had racked his brains and told Yuan Zhou everything he knew and everything that he thought tasted good. However, not only did he fail to make Yuan Zhou eat well, he even got a stomachache.
Yuan Zhou loved men and had been putting up a front. However, Xiao Xing wasn't stupid and could easily see through him. Therefore, he felt quite guilty.
On the contrary, Yuan Zhou had thought it through. Although the tour guide could speak Chinese, he was a Thai Chinese and had never been to China in his life.
The reason why he could speak Mandarin and come into contact with Chinese culture was all thanks to his grandfather. To put it simply, Xiao Xing's taste was no different from that of the Thais. It was the same for his digestive system. It was understandable that the places he introduced were not to Yuan Zhou's liking.
"Yuan, you are a chef, right?" Xiao Xing suddenly said while driving.
Yuan Zhou nodded. He had previously introduced himself as a chef.
Xiao Xing said, "Your stomach might be feeling a little unwell. Don't Chinese people like to eat porridge when they feel unwell? I have rice at home. Do you want to go to my house and make some porridge? "
This was the compensation Xiao Xing came up with. As for why he didn't cook, it was because he didn't know how to cook.
There was a big difference between porridge and gruel.
"Hmm?" Yuan Zhou's eyes lit up. This suggestion was very creative. He felt that if he ate any more, he might die. It was necessary to eat something else at noon to ease his stomach.
Since the tour guide invited him sincerely, Yuan Zhou agreed to go to Xiao Xing's house and make something to eat at noon.
After asking for a while, Yuan Zhou had a rough idea of what food and seasonings Xiao Xing had in his house.
He should be able to make two cold dishes and eat it with porridge.
Therefore, after strolling around for a while, Xiao Xing brought Yuan Zhou to his house. The tourist industry was sometimes bad and sometimes good. This was because the majority of Thailand's tourist industry was Chinese. Therefore, whether it was good or bad depended on whether the government was courting death or not.
In the past, it was somewhat courting death. Now that the new king had come to power, the situation was much better. Xiao Xing's income was also acceptable. As a man with a girlfriend, even if the two of them didn't live together, Xiao Xing's house was still very clean. He lived in a bedroom and a living room. Although there wasn't much furniture, it was spacious and bright.
"Here, this is my house. How is it? Is it very clean?" Xiao Xing said proudly as soon as he opened the door.
"Um, not bad." Yuan Zhou saw some long hair in the corner of the floor and some dust on the glass outside. However, he still nodded to show his respect.
"Of course. After I left yesterday, my girlfriend came to clean the house. My girlfriend is really beautiful and nice. What did you say to her?" Xiao Xing asked proudly.
"Virtuous," Yuan Zhou said.
"Yes, she is virtuous." Xiao Xing nodded repeatedly and led Yuan Zhou into the house.
When Xiao Xing mentioned his girlfriend, Yuan Zhou turned a deaf ear to him. He just nodded politely to show that he heard it.
After all, his stomach was not feeling well. If he ate any more dog food, he wouldn't be able to digest it.
"This is the kitchen. I don't usually use it. My girlfriend sometimes cooks for me. The rice is in the cabinet, the vegetables are in the fridge, and the seasonings are on the table. You can see which ones you can use," Xiao Xing gave a brief introduction.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Don't mention it. You can cook for yourself. Do you need my help?" Xiao Xing asked.
"No need. Let's have congee for lunch then. After that, I will make two cold dishes. Is that okay?" Yuan Zhou asked for Xiao Xing's opinion.
"Anything is fine. You can use whatever ingredients you want. My girlfriend bought them all." Xiao Xing couldn't stop talking about his girlfriend.
Yuan Zhou was speechless. "So what if you have a girlfriend? Alright … it seems that you are really something."
"Then let's have some congee for lunch," Yuan Zhou looked at Xiao Xing and then said.
"What's so good about congee? It's tasteless. I don't like it. I will just eat some instant noodles." Xiao Xing shook his head.
That's right. In Xiao Xing's opinion, the congee that Chinese people ate was just plain boiled rice. What was so good about it? It was so mushy that he had no interest in it.
"You will know why it is so good after you try it," Yuan Zhou said calmly.
