Chapter 111 Night Market Food
"Well, maybe this way you can avoid attracting their attention. I hope they haven't scanned your DNA."
Betty continued.
"DNA..."
After all, it is reasonable for the underworld to have such advanced technology in the future world. Chen Xingying wanted to complain, but she thought of this and let it go.
Unexpectedly, there were more packages to be mailed in the evening. There were several parcels to be delivered near the same location. Fortunately, Chen Xingying and the other two helped her share the parcels.
There were indeed members of the Salvation Society on the road patrolling to inquire about their whereabouts. Unexpectedly, the sunglasses worked, and I passed by them without even recognizing them.
Before nine o'clock, Betty had delivered all the packages.
"Ah! Thank you for finishing so early today." Betty stretched out and said after getting in the car. Her expression looked a little tired.
"Um, Betty, did you always have to give away so much every day?" Chen Xin asked from behind.
"Well, this is quite small. I only got this after missing work for two days. I don't know if uncle has asked others to give away a lot."
"Due to public security issues recently, there have been a lot less people ordering express delivery. Otherwise, I would be busy from morning to night and only make 5,000 a month," Betty said.
"5000? So little?" Chen Xingying exclaimed from behind.
"Yes, otherwise you would think that although it is a bit harder, it is already a very good salary for the residents of Xiacheng District."
Betty started chewing bubble gum, and for some reason she made the action of chewing bubble gum look like smoking.
Although it should also play a role in relieving mental stress.
"Can you eat in this world?" Betty then turned around and asked.
"Okay, although it can't really fill your stomach, you will still have the sense of taste." Chen Xingying replied.
"That's good, let's go and I'll take you to a good place." Betty said and started the car.
The destination is a small night market on the edge of Zhongcheng.
After getting off the bus, Chen Xingying looked around the entire night market and found that except for the fact that they all used laser screens as signboards, they looked similar to the night markets in her own city.
"Come on, this is it!" Betty took the three of them to a stall. The stall owner of this shop was dressed in white, just like a chef in a high-end restaurant. He wore a chef's hat high. When he saw Betty
When he came, he took the initiative to speak.
"Isn't this Betty? I haven't come to visit you for several days. I'm starting to miss you!"
The translator's accent and sharp voice...are definitely those of a bionic person.
"Top hat, I'm bringing a few friends here today, and the dishes are just the ones I usually like." Betty said as she greeted Chen Xin and the others to come in.
"Top hat..." Chen Xingying complained about the name in a low voice.
"sit!"
The shop is very small, with only three tables visible to the naked eye.
"This store opened when I was the same age as you. Although it looks so inconspicuous, the boss cooks all authentic dishes." Betty said after letting them all sit down.
Chen Xingying is still looking forward to the food 300 years from now.
"By the way, do you want a beer?" Betty asked.
"No, no, we are underage." Chen Xin and Xiao Chu quickly waved their hands and refused.
"Well, little brother, you must have a few drinks. We don't have any rules against underage drinking." Betty said to Chen Xingying.
"Ah? Me!" The best opportunity to refuse has been missed.
"Top hat, two more bottles of beer," Betty shouted.
"Why do you call this boss a tall hat?" Chen Xingying asked.
"I heard from my father that Gao Hao used to be a chef for a wealthy family in Shangcheng District. He worked there for several generations. However, he was always disliked by the young master of the family because the model was too old.
After the old master died, the young master secretly sold him to black market merchants. When he was about to be dismantled and sold for parts, my father's good friend rescued him and recommended him to open a shop here and start his own business.
I didn't expect the food he cooked to be unexpectedly delicious... Maybe it's because people in Shangcheng District eat so well that they think he's not good enough, but for us people in Xiacheng District, it's really great to be able to eat traditional delicacies.
It couldn't be better.
My dad’s friend is also a chef, so he gave him the uniform of a star-rated restaurant before he retired, and he wears it like this until now. So the hat is so conspicuous, people who come and go will tease him: Hey, you are wearing a high hat again today.
?So over time everyone, including himself, started calling it that."
"Oh...interesting story." Chen Xingying sighed while thinking.
"I feel like there are a lot of things like this in martial arts novels. The young master overthrew everything before the master." Chen Xin also sighed there.
"So, people have always been like this after a long time." Betty said with great insight.
"Guest! The food is here." The tall hat brought the first dish, along with two bottles of cold beer.
The three of them stared at this dish together.
"Isn't this just a platter of barbecued food?" Xiao Chu said with wide eyes.
"Well, indeed, it's our food." Chen Xin nodded and said.
"This is a long-lost southern cuisine. Are you from there?" Betty looked at the two of them excitedly for some reason.
"Huh? Has it been lost?" Xiao Chu asked with a confused look on his face.
"Come on, don't worry about so much, let's eat first." After saying that, he opened the wine bottle and filled a glass directly, and also filled Chen Xingying's glass.
"Cheers, little brother!" Then he raised his glass and wanted to toast Chen Xingying.
"Oh!" Chen Xingying raised her cup in a panic... She had never done such a thing before.
Then Betty drank most of the glass in one go.
"It's cool!" At this moment, Betty finally showed a bit of a middle-aged aunt... Sure enough, after a busy day, the prototype will be exposed.
Chen Xingying also drank heavily to please Betty.
"Professor, don't drink so much." Chen Xin asked with concern... like a girl who advises her boyfriend to stop drinking.
"It's okay, we can't get drunk here... probably." Chen Xingying returned with a smile.
"Come on, pick up some vegetables." But before Betty could finish saying this, Xiao Chu had already eaten two pieces of meat.
"Wow! Master, Sister Xiaolin, this is so authentic and delicious! It would have taken us a while to find this level of siu-mei." Then she praised.
"Really?" Chen Xingying and Chen Xin also tasted a piece doubtfully.
It's really delicious, and the juice spreads in my taste buds. I have never eaten such delicious roast pork in real life...
And being from southern cities, Xiao Chu and Chen Xin should have very strict requirements for this dish, but seeing Chen Xin's expression of satisfaction, it means it's really good.
"Hello everyone, the dishes are here again!" The tall hat brought two more dishes.
After that, there are all the special southern dishes: steamed pork ribs, mantis shrimp, pot beef brisket, etc. Every dish is as delicious as one can only eat in a star-rated restaurant.
"Well, my recommendation is good!" Betty said proudly, holding up her wine glass, as if she was already a little drunk.
"Really, I can't believe that chefs who can cook such delicious dishes will be eliminated?" Xiao Chu asked in surprise.
"Sure, people in uptown and midtown are eating synthetic food now," Betty said.
"Synthetic food?" Chen Xingying was very curious about this ranking.
And I don’t know why I feel a little bit high after drinking a few glasses of beer. Is it a psychological effect?
"Yes, we use the latest technology to integrate all the delicious food into one dish, so that no matter who tastes it, it will taste delicious."
Betty explained unclearly, it was hard to imagine what this was.
"By the way, there were so many people from the Salvation Society killed by Neil at today's concert. Wasn't there any report?"
Chen Xinxin suddenly asked.
"I didn't notice it... was there any report? But it's normal for a few people to die in a commercial street. Didn't you also find that no one paid attention to it when you were at the scene?" Betty returned.
"Indeed not, it's like I didn't see it." Chen Xin said from the side.
"Look, let me tell you, people in this city become more and more numb as they go up." Betty sighed.
Then this is too insensitive. Although there was not much movement, what Neil did was undoubtedly a massacre...
For some reason, Chen Xingying always felt a chill and unknown fear behind her.
"Team 18... Now there are only 18 teams at most. We eliminated one team in Xiacheng District." Chen Xin said.
"Yes, but there shouldn't be 18 teams anymore. There must be teams encountering teams somewhere." Chen Xingying returned, but it seemed that Chen Xin had other intentions.
"I wonder why such a small number of participating teams would arrange such a large-scale venue." Chen Xin said it directly.
Chen Xingying thought so too.
"Perhaps it was a deliberate arrangement...and..." Chen Xingying looked at Betty.
"What's wrong, little brother?" Betty, who was quarreling after drinking, actually leaned on the table, made a charming expression, and teased Chen Xingying.
"Is this world really created just for competitions? Although the Taoyuan system itself pays great attention to details, it may be too much." Chen Xin forcibly pulled Chen Xingying's eyes back.
But the reason why Chen Xingying stared at Betty was because she wanted to say what Chen Xin had already said.
"Maybe this is not just a competition venue?" Xiao Chu said suddenly from the side.
"What do you think? Maybe this will be a world open to official users in the future. And since it has been built, resources cannot be wasted and used as competition venues. Anyway, there are so many competitions, and it will be troublesome to find each venue.
Yes." Xiao Chu continued.
"This... seems to make sense." Chen Xingying nodded.
