The third morning after the expedition team arrived in Egypt had arrived.
"Meow meow meow! Did you go to the temple of Goddess Bastet yesterday? Is the goddess beautiful? Are her breasts big? "
Snowy Lionet was noisy early in the morning, deeply regretting that it had not been able to see the goddess yesterday.
"I didn't see it at all. It's already in ruins."
Zhang Zian pushed the door open and entered.
He had just run to the Khan el-Khalili market to buy breakfast and express his gratitude to the Lazart family for their generosity in lending the car. Unfortunately, there was nothing else on hand that could be used as a gift except for the cooling oil. He felt quite bad and secretly inquired about the Lazart family's address. He planned to send a gift when he returned home. After all, he came from the land of etiquette, and he could not let the Copts look down on him.
In addition, when he went to the market, he was very careful. He was almost like a thief because he had asked around. The stall owners nearby said that the local men drinking black tea and playing mahjong that he had met on the first day had not come out for the past two days. He did not know if they were sick.
Zhang Zian knew what kind of illness they had — they were sick, and if they did not treat it, it would be terrible!
"Meow meow meow! I don't need other goddesses. Your Majesty is my goddess! "Snowy Lionet saw that Fina had also come in from the balcony and immediately expressed its loyalty.
Fina did not care about Snowy Lionet for the time being. It sniffed hard and stared at the things in Zhang Zian's hands. It asked curiously, "What smells so good?"
"I think it's called kofta, and there's grilled fish. I guess you're tired of eating roasted pigeons, so buy something else for a change. "Zhang Zian opened the bag and began to distribute breakfast to the elfins.
Kofta was another national meal that must be ordered in Egypt. It was made with veal or lamb minced into fine minced meat, and sometimes chicken, seasoned with spices and onions, made into sticks or balls, and then roasted with iron skewers. After roasting, celery or other seasonal vegetables were spread at the bottom of the plate and served on a plate. The portion was very large, supplemented with chips or Egyptian pancakes, greatly satisfying people's desire for meat.
The elfins, except for Richard, were all carnivores. Smelling kofta made them salivate. Even Snowy Lionet, who had been clamoring to eat raw beef brisket all day, wiped its saliva.
A portion of kofta would not be wasted. Richard ate seasonal vegetables, the elfins ate barbecue, and as for chips and pancakes … Wasn't there still Zhang Zian?
"Pooh pooh pooh! What the hell is this? You stinking man, are you trying to kill me? "
Snowy Lionet, who was crazy about meat, wasn't satisfied with just eating kofta. It sneakily extended its claws to the grilled fish that Zhang Zian had bought. However, as soon as it took a bite, it scrunched up its face and spat out the grilled fish in its mouth.
"I haven't divided it yet. Who told you to do it yourself?" Zhang Zian asked.
Snowy Lionet kept spitting and even ran to the bathroom to rinse its tongue. It looked like it was suffering.
The water had wet the long hair on its face and neck. If it was in China, it would need to be blown dry immediately, but this was Egypt. It only needed to go to the balcony to bask in the sun for five minutes.
Fei Na carefully observed the grilled fish and said doubtfully, "This fish … Why isn't the scale removed?"
"I only found out after I bought it. I can't throw it away," Zhang Zian said helplessly. "Who knew that Egyptian grilled fish didn't remove the scale …"
Other than not removing the scale, the grilled fish didn't look very good. It looked like it was burnt, and the skin and tail fins had been roasted black. If it was in China, picky diners would probably return it on the spot, but this was the specialty of Egypt. The heat used to cook the food was on the high side.
The elfins were not interested in the grilled fish. It was not as delicious as the grilled fish made by Uncle Li, so the task of eliminating the grilled fish fell on Zhang Zian's head.
The locals in Egypt usually ate grilled fish with fried rice. Only Zhang Zian had big pancakes and chips with grilled fish. It was not medium, not foreign, and it was quite bitter. If he had known earlier, he would have bought an extra portion of kofta.
There was no other way. He had bought the food himself, so he had to eat it with tears in his eyes. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the money he had spent.
The elfins finished their breakfast quickly and lay down to digest. Zhang Zian put the leftovers into the trash can so that the customer service staff wouldn't think that the place had been robbed.
Fina ran to the balcony again, bathing in the morning sun to digest.
Snowy Lionet followed behind Fina. Morning and night were the only times it could come into contact with the sun.
After returning from the ruins of Bastet's Holy Temple yesterday, Fina had more time to think alone. It looked at the night view of the Nile River in a daze for a long time.
However, sadness did not knock it down. As Zhang Zian expected, it had a strong heart. After venting its long-accumulated emotions, it had regained its calmness, as if it had thought through something.
He did not rashly ask what it was thinking about or why it was so crazy in the ruins. Anyway, even if he asked, it would not say. There was still a long time to stay in Egypt. He still had time to figure out the Holy Will.
"There seems to be a lot less people today."
Old Time Tea looked at the street and found that both pedestrians and vehicles were much less than yesterday.
"Well, because Egypt's Ramadan started yesterday evening, most of the locals are staying at home and going out less."
Zhang Zian raised his hand and pointed to the sky. There was still a very thin and faint new moon in the sky, about to be submerged in the light of the sun. This was the sign of the beginning of Ramadan.
"How does this affect us?" Famous asked curiously.
"It doesn't have much of an impact. I think it's a good thing," Zhang Zian said. Even if the local men, who thought the cooling oil was Indian magic oil, came back to their senses, they would not be able to catch up with him or beat him.
"Ah — Ze — An! Come here! "
Sihwa's sharp voice came from the direction of the bathroom. It was so sharp that Zhang Zian felt itchy all over. It was similar to the sound of nails scratching glass.
To prevent the guests next door from complaining, he quickly walked from the balcony to the bathroom and asked, "What's the matter?"
Sihwa angrily put her hands on her hips. "You said you would take me to the beach for a live broadcast. How long are you going to drag it out? Those bastard fans always use this to mock me, and some people even made it into a joke, saying things like, "Once Sihwa opens her mouth, it's a series of difficult words. What 'Egypt,' what 'five-star hotel.' The broadcast room is full of happy air. I can't remember the details. Is this mocking me? Don't think I can't hear it! "
Zhang Zian said, "… This is really ironic. Those otakus on the Internet are especially good at making this up."
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and slapped the water to vent her anger, splashing water all over the floor.
"Well, today it is. Since Ramadan is here, there are fewer people by the sea. Let's go to the beach today and fulfill your wish." Zhang Zian made a decision.
