Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 592 Splendid Galaxy (seeking monthly ticket)

All in all, the meal was not bad. Although the level was not as good as those western food chefs on the Platinum Star, after all, the people who could come to Hawaii at this time were either rich or expensive.

The overall catering quality will naturally also be improved.

Watching Tonio put the bloody beef into his mouth mouthful mouthful, Chen Nian couldn't help feeling curious: "What does this taste like?"

Tonio raised his head and looked at the old age: "Actually, the beef itself doesn't have any obvious taste. If you have to say it, it's fresh beef. When you eat it, it will have a fresher taste and a softer texture. , I personally prefer to eat this, but I think it’s better to sprinkle some pepper and salt on it, so that the taste will be richer.”

After finishing speaking, he asked with great interest: "Are you interested in tasting it?"

Chen Nian hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

"I can take a sip."

Seeing this, Tonio was not hypocritical, and directly cut off a small piece of his steak with a knife.

Aging is pricked with a fork and then put in the mouth.

There is no special feeling when I first eat it, I can only feel some warmth on the surface of the beef.

Gently chew the shallow cooked skin that has been fried on the outside, the meat is also very tender, and there is really no fishy or muttony smell.

The layer of pepper and salt sprinkled on the surface while chewing is fused with the meat, and there is a slight salty taste and the unique spicyness of pepper in the mouth.

The completely raw beef inside tastes a bit like eggplant, but it is more chewy than eggplant.

But Chen Nian has never eaten meat like this. Although the overall taste is not bad, Chen Nian still has some resistance from the bottom of his heart.

Finally, he swallowed the beef with a gulp.

"How is it?" Tonio asked.

Chen Nian nodded: "Not bad."

Tonio's face showed joy: "Then you can order one and have a taste next time."

"Farewell. Although the taste is very good, I don't think this kind of food is suitable for me. The minimum I can accept is medium rare."

There is no other reason, the main reason is that Chen Nian's major is food, and the food major has content about parasites.

And Chen Nian also read a lot of news that some people like to eat sashimi, but their brains are full of parasites, and some people who like to eat fish meat have parasites all over their bodies and even in their muscles.

It's creepy to think of aging here.

Although the old man knows that if the beef is fresh and the cow itself has no disease, there is generally no big problem in eating it.

But Chen Nian himself has no way to distinguish these.

Aged eyes are not microscopes, and there is no way to see which piece of beef is carrying bacteria and parasites.

In addition, this is not in line with my eating habits all the time, so if you taste it in old age, you will be considered as having eaten it, as long as you know what it tastes like.

"Why?" Tonio didn't quite understand.

Chen Nian shook his head, and didn't say anything about parasites, but said that he was not used to eating like this, and most Chinese people still eat cooked food before eating.

But Tonio wanted to explain something more: "This kind of beef is usually very fresh, and it was still moving when it was cut..."

But before the words were finished, Lucas on the side stopped him and said: "Tonio, my friend, if this is the eating custom in their old place, there is no need to let him eat it, it's like giving you Like a pineapple pizza, maybe you can eat it too, but you would never like to eat it like this, would you?"

When Tonio heard the word pineapple pizza, his face was full of rejection: "I absolutely cannot accept using pineapple to make pizza. This is extremely disrespectful to pizza."

"That's right." Lucas nodded, but Chen Nian was confused when he heard it, so he explained: "The practice of pineapple pizza was not invented by the Italians, and the Italians are very familiar with their own country. Traditional cuisine is very important, and unauthorized changes to recipes and practices are not allowed.

The pineapple pizza was invented by a Canadian born in Greece. "

At this time, Tonio also continued: "Yes, for us, only the pizza making method in Naples is pure. If you have the opportunity to come to Italy in the future, I will treat you to it."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded: "Okay, but do you have different types of Italian pizza?"

"Of course." Tonio had finished eating at this time, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, and said while wiping his mouth: "We have a relatively representative pizza called Margherita pizza, it is very delicious, you can Say it's my favorite, and I'll treat you to it then."

"No problem." Chen Nian nodded.

After everyone finished eating, Chen Nian called the waiter to pay, and then gave him an extra five dollars as a tip.

Do as the Romans do, although there was never such a habit before Chen Nian, but it is generally done here, especially in such high-end restaurants.

After eating, they didn't rush to set off immediately, but found a place with a parasol to sit after leaving the restaurant.

These are also available exclusively to tourists.

Taking advantage of this time, Vivian also went to change her clothes, and changed into a very capable mountaineering suit.

Everyone's eyes brightened.

But at this moment, the driver suddenly came over and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any plans for the itinerary after seeing the volcano today?"

The people who asked this question did not respond.

In the end, Chen Nian said: "Mr. Driver, our original plan was to go up the mountain to have a look, and then go back."

But the driver shook his head when he heard this: "Actually, I don't suggest you do this. Of course, you can if you want, but the real beauty of Mauna Loa is not in the daytime. You will see what you will see at night." It's a real beauty."

"Is that so?" Vivian asked curiously.

"Of course, beautiful Ms. Vivienne, I have lived on this island for 40 years, and I have been to this volcano hundreds of times, so when is the best time to see it, of course I know very well."

In the end, several people made a total calculation, and finally asked Chen Nian to ask about the specific situation.

"Mr. Driver, if we go up, do we have a place to live?"

"Of course there is no way to go up like this, but you can live in a tent at that time. How many times can you have such an opportunity in your life? So I suggest you experience it. Believe me, you will never regret it."

Finally, after the four of them exchanged opinions, they decided to listen to the driver's arrangement.

The four of them rested for a while at the foot of the mountain.

The driver put the car away, stored all the luggage, and then went to a nearby store to buy four hiking bags, hiking sticks, and some hats.

"These are all for you, and don't worry, they are definitely high-end goods. There are also tents, but there are only four bags, and the four of us should carry them." The driver said with a smile.

Seeing the driver's attentive appearance, Chen Nian couldn't help sighing, it was definitely because Vivian had enough money.

But they didn't intend to let Vivienne carry things.

After several people took it over, they found that these things were really easy to use.

Vivienne's equipment is also specially bought by the driver for ladies.

Then they started climbing the mountain.

As locals, the driver of the car that brought them here can be both a driver and a tour guide, earning multiple shares for one person.

And judging by his well-dressed clothes, it seems that he is here to serve the rich.

Along the way, the driver introduced the history of the volcano to them.

It is also said that this is an active volcano and may erupt at any time.

After seeing everyone's terrified expressions, he quickly explained that this active volcano should not erupt in recent decades.

Although Chen Nian came from a later age, he did not know this kind of knowledge before. If he studied geography or geology, he might still have a chance to learn about it.

In this way they stop and go all the way.

They weren't too anxious, but Lucas and Vivienne were exhausted. After all, one of them specialized in music, and the other was a pampered entrepreneur.

Where have you suffered like this?

It's okay to walk on the flat road, but if you go up the mountain, it will kill them.

In this way until the evening, they managed to climb to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the setting sun was like fire, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

And the ground is full of black lava that dried up after the magma flowed through, and its shape is extremely distorted. It can be imagined that the magma flowed thickly and slowly during the eruption of the volcano.

It was not until it gradually cooled down that such a strange and unique landform was formed.

"Oh my god, it's really amazing."

"It's the first time I've seen such a magical sight."

Everyone kept exclaiming, including Chen Nian who was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

"No, I must bring Hongdou to play again in the future!" Chen Nian made up his mind secretly.

Then they dug out the tent from the bag and started to set up the tent here. The others were not very familiar with this job, but the driver was very capable to help Vivienne set up the tent first, and then helped Chen Nian and Tonio pitches the tent, before finally pitching his own.

"We will live here at night, and then you will be able to see the stars in the sky, and I can guarantee that you will definitely be more shocked than now.

And you can still see the sunrise tomorrow morning. "

Everyone nodded, and the driver took out some food and water from their bags: "We'll have something to eat here tonight, and I can provide cooking services for free."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

The driver was confused: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Only then did Vivienne smile and say, "No, Mr. Driver, you don't have any problems, but leave the cooking to us."

Hearing this, the driver was a little puzzled: "Of course, you are my customers, but my service is free, and my cooking skills are still very good."

But Vivienne waved her hand: "Mr. driver, you misunderstood, we all came down from the Platinum Star, but I am the only guest, and the three of them are all staff on board, and this one is a skilled great musicians, and these two are the ship's cooks."

Upon hearing this, the driver was in awe.

Of course he knew about the Platinum Star, the ship would stop in Hawaii twice a year, and the business of these people would be particularly good at this time.

So of course they know what kind of ship the Platinum Star is, and those who can be cooks on it don't have to think that their cooking skills must be very good.

"It turns out that's the case, that's why I was talking too much."

Chen Nian smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Driver, you have worked hard today, and you can try our craft later, which is also our thanks to you."

After all, the other party is a tour guide, Chen Nian thinks it is better to be nicer to the other party, with a more polite attitude, so that everyone feels comfortable, and the most important thing is to have fun.

Just like that, Chen Nian and the others sat here in the tent and chatted, watching the sun go down little by little.

It's just that after being tired all the way, sitting and sitting turned into lying down and lying down, and they all fell asleep one by one.

But when Chen Nian fell asleep, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing. Although they were all wearing cotton coats, after all, when they fell asleep in the evening, the tent hadn't been pulled up yet.

So after feeling the chill, Chen Nian had to get up and pull up the tent for a good night's sleep.

But as soon as Chen Nian sat up.

Subconsciously looked to the sky.

For a moment, the sky was full of bright stars, densely packed.

Wanruo is like a box containing countless diamonds, with shining stars scattered all over the sky.

Shocked by this scene, Chen Nian opened his mouth into an O shape.

And there is a brighter long belt running across this vast and endless galaxy.

Just like in the story of Qixi Festival, the magpie bridge built by the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet each other.

Exhausting the words in my mind, Chen Nian can't describe this magnificent scene!

"Get up, get up, don't sleep, look at the sky!" Chen Nian quickly woke up the others.

Then the others woke up in a daze from Chen Nian's yelling, rubbing their eyes sleepily.

But soon they gradually changed from being confused to being extremely sober.

Everyone's eyes are completely occupied by this sky full of stars.

"How? I'm not wrong!"

The driver also woke up at this time, came over and tightened his clothes, and said proudly.

"You can see all the stars in the northern hemisphere and 80% of the stars in the southern hemisphere here. Anyone who comes to Hawaii to play, as long as they take my car, I will recommend them to come here for the night."

No matter how rich Vivienne was, it was the first time she spent the night in the wild, and it was the first time she saw such a scene.

Originally, when she agreed to sleep in the mountains with everyone, she thought in her heart that maybe she was really crazy.

But at the moment she put all those regrets behind her.

"It's really beautiful."
