Chapter 1046 The Strange Old Man

Xia Fei and the old man whose name he didn't know wiped their mouths at the same time, showing a satisfied smile.

Xia Fei patted his belly and said, "It's been a long time since I've eaten so comfortably. I didn't expect you to have a better appetite than me."

The old man winked at Xia Fei, stood up, and left calmly without answering.

There are many strange people in this world. An old man with an amazing appetite did not bring much surprise to Xia Fei and Yuan. On the contrary, it made Xia Fei fall in love with roasted pork.

The local rugby pigs are not ordinary goods, but are the descendants of a kind of jungle wild boar. They feed on wild dates and pineapples from the mountains. Their meat is delicious and juicy. Even without any seasoning, it still has a natural aroma.

Using this kind of pork belly with green broccoli, golden roasted potatoes, white mushrooms and other accessories, the roasted pork belly tastes really good, and Xia Fei is full of praise.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon on the second day of the voyage. Xia Fei had nothing to do and went to the garden restaurant and chose roasted pork on the automatic ordering machine, but the result showed that there was no more.

The automatic ordering machine cannot artificially synthesize food. Instead, it automatically cooks food for diners based on the reserves in the cold storage, and then brings it out. Perhaps Xia Fei and the old man ate too much yesterday, and they actually used the only food left in the cold storage. All the rut pigs were wiped out.

Shaking his head, Xia Fei felt very bored. He wanted to order the kind of native chicken that the old man ate yesterday, but found that the native chicken had also been eaten. Needless to say, this must also be the masterpiece of the old man. He ordered a glass of mixed juice and had a few Planting snacks, Xia Fei sat bored in the garden and watched the stars.

Although he is far away from the universe where he lives, the scenery at this moment is the same, with the complicated and vast stars shining.

"Yuan, how did the universe form?" Xia Fei asked.

Yuan smiled and said: "I don't know how the universe was formed, but I know that the old man who competed with you for dinner yesterday is here again."

Xia Fei hurriedly turned around and saw, sure enough, he saw the old man wearing the same robe as yesterday, walking into the garden. Seeing Xia Fei sitting there, the old man smiled and nodded to him, and then went to the automatic ordering machine to order. Had a plate of salmon.

The red salmon and chocolate roe are so fragrant that Xia Feishi is excited.

So Xia Fei also ran to the ordering machine and ordered salmon and fish roe like the old man did.

The knife gently cuts into the belly of the fish, making no sound, just like cutting into tofu. This shows how delicate the meat of this salmon is!

Put a piece in your mouth and it melts like ice cream! Xia Fei was so satisfied that he put the plate of salmon into his belly.

It's not that Xia Fei hasn't eaten delicious food in the past, nor is this ship's automatic kitchen so good, the key is the ingredients! Whether it was yesterday's pork belly or today's salmon, they were all varieties that Xia Fei had never seen before, and they tasted surprisingly good.

Soon, Xia Fei and the old man started eating one plate at a time, feasting on the delicious salmon. Xia Fei ate seven plates, and the old man ate thirteen plates before he stopped. Even Xia Fei had to sigh with emotion. He has a great appetite.

After the main course, there were desserts and fruits as usual. Xia Fei had an idea and ordered according to the recipe ordered by the old man. As a result, every snack and fruit he tasted was extremely delicious!

"This old man is an expert! Not only does he eat a lot, but he also chooses the most delicious food on the menu." Xia Fei was surprised in his heart.

Soon, the old man finished today's lunch, smiled at Xia Fei, turned and left.

Xia Fei watched this magical old man leave. Suddenly, with a thought in his mind, he stood up and came to the ordering machine, pressing his fingers quickly.

A few minutes later, Xia Fei returned to his seat, lit a cigarette, and couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong? What's so funny?" Yuan asked curiously.

"Guess what, all the food this old man ordered is gone without exception!" Xia Fei said while laughing.

"No more? What does this mean?" Yuan said disapprovingly.

After blowing out a smoke ring, Xia Fei said with a smile: "It shows that this old man not only knows good food, but also must eat up all the delicious food! The chicken is gone, the salmon is gone, the roast pork is gone, even those The ice cream and snacks are all gone!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what the old man will order for dinner." Xia Fei smacked his lips and muttered to himself.

Good food is like a gust of spring breeze, making people intoxicated. Xia Fei comes from a poor background and has never been very picky about food, but under the guidance of this mysterious old man, he gradually fell in love with delicious food.

There are many synthetic materials in the world that can produce all kinds of incredible flavors, but this taste is a little more amazing and does not have the refreshing feeling brought by real pure natural ingredients.

This is like a pure beautiful girl and a prostitute wearing heavy makeup. They are both beautiful, but the latter will easily feel boring after eating too much, while the former will make people have endless aftertaste.

For three days in a row, Xia Fei lived a happy life that he had never experienced before. Every day he met the old man in the restaurant in a tacit understanding, and then ate and drank according to the old man's menu. After eating, he wiped his mouth and went back to his home. There was a tacit understanding between them, but they never struck up a conversation or exchanged pleasantries.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was dinner time on the third day, which was also the last meal on the ship. At midnight, the battleship would dock at Golden Eagle 19, and Xia Fei and the old man were about to end this interesting journey.

As usual, Xia Fei came to the restaurant early and waited, but the old man didn't appear.

"Isn't he going to have dinner?" Xia Fei thought to himself.

The clock pointed to eleven o'clock at night. Xia Fei couldn't bear it anymore. He came to the ordering machine and tried to order a few dishes. As a result, after tasting it, Xia Fei was disgusted. It was not that these dishes were not delicious, but that Over the past few days, Xia Fei has become accustomed to eating those intoxicating delicacies every day.

It was like suddenly traveling from heaven to earth. It was hard to accept it for a while. After tasting the last dish of red wine braised chicken, Xia Fei had to admit that his ordering skills were far worse than that of the weird old man. For the first time in Qianli's history, Xia Fei really wanted to throw away the half-eaten food.

With a grimace, Xia Fei swallowed the last bite of chicken nuggets, then quickly rinsed his mouth with water, and said to himself: "This habit of not wasting is really harmful. I actually ate up such an unpalatable thing, ugh. ”

After wiping his mouth with a napkin, Xia Fei stood up and prepared to leave. He would dock at the port in half an hour. It seemed that the old man would not appear again tonight.

At this moment, the automatic door suddenly opened, and the old man walked over wearing the same clothes as the previous two days.

Xia Fei seemed a little excited and quietly sat back down in his seat, waiting quietly for the old man to order.

Surprisingly, the old man only ordered a small plate of mushrooms today, not even two ounces. Xia Fei thought he could eat it in one bite.

Anyway, tonight's delicacy was finally here. Xia Fei hurriedly came to the ordering machine and wanted to order a few plates of these spotted mushrooms. Unfortunately, as soon as he pressed down with his finger, Xia Fei discovered that there was only this one portion of mushrooms in the entire ship. , has been ordered by the old man!

Feeling depressed, Xia Fei lit up a cigarette and sat back, watching the old man tinkering there carefully.

First, he rinsed his mouth with water three times, and then arranged his napkins, knives and forks. The old man was uncharacteristically solemn. You must know that he and Xia Fei had similar eating habits in the past. They were both wolfing down. Today, for some unknown reason, The old man looked at the little mushroom more closely than he looked at his own grandson.

Huh~

With a light stroke of the silver table knife, the green-spotted mushroom was split into two by the old man. An unimaginable aroma instantly poured out, and the entire garden was buried in this magical aroma!

Xia Fei opened his mouth wide in surprise, this is simply the best fragrance in the world! Even though Xia Fei had eaten a lot just now, now that he was attracted by the smell, he became hungry again.

The old man lightly forked half a piece of mushroom with a fork, put it in his mouth, and said while eating: "This ship used to belong to a top gourmet, and there were countless delicacies from the mountains and seas stored in the cold storage. Later, the gourmet died, and his descendants Sold the boat to someone else."

"The new ship owner is not a gourmet. He has no idea that the cold storage contains rare delicacies from the world. It's a pity that so many top-quality ingredients have been wasted by the pig-like ship owner. After changing hands several times, only a few are left. Sample."

Chewing this small piece of mushroom carefully and swallowing it gently, the wrinkles on his face suddenly relaxed, and the old man seemed to be much younger instantly.

"This mushroom is called the White Green Shirt Jade Mushroom. This one alone is worth thousands of pearls. It tastes great. For the sake of our destiny, I will leave half of it for you. Thank you."

The old man spoke a lot uncharacteristically. After speaking, the old man stood up and left with a smile.

Xia Fei felt very puzzled. He obviously ate a lot of delicious food with the old man, so why did the old man thank him in the end?

The old man walked very fast and disappeared before Xia Fei could ask questions.

Xia Fei thought for a while, then brought the half of the jade mushroom in white and green clothes in front of him, then picked it up with a fork, put it on the tip of his nose, smelled it gently, and put it into his mouth...

…

Xia Fei never expected that half a mushroom would give him the feeling of being in the arms of a beautiful woman and spending time together, and he was immediately infatuated.

Xia Fei has never tasted such delicious food in his life, nor has he heard of such delicious food. He doesn't even know how to describe it in words.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw that the ship was already moored at the port, and a captain with a pair of huge nostrils was looking at him not far away. The old man might have disembarked from the ship and walked away.

"Sure enough, it is extremely delicious. I never thought that there is such a delicacy in this world." Xia Fei sighed and said, "Who is that old man with the weird pigtails on your ship? Is he gone?"

The captain was slightly startled and said in confusion: "Brother Xia, how can there be any old man with pigtails on my ship? I am the oldest."

"Not from your ship?"

"Absolutely not." The captain shook his head and affirmed.

Xia Fei leaned back on the chair, lit a cigarette, and said to himself: "That's weird, could I have seen a ghost?"

The captain rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said with a smile: "Brother Xia, although Boss Xiang paid the ship fare, he didn't pay for your meals on the ship. Do you think the bill has been settled?"
