Chapter 230 Cold Meal
Spent two hours playing at Guizhuling Village Farm.

It's almost noon.

The tour guide called everyone together.

"It's still about an hour before noon, so it's still early for lunch. Let's go to Nanfen Village in Hongcao Town. There are strawberry farms and morel greenhouses there. There are also five restaurants in the area that our company has partnered with. You can order whatever you want to eat."

After a while, the tourist bus they had booked arrived at the village entrance.

Another tour group visiting Nanfen Village happened to come to Guizhuling Village. After they got off the bus, the tour guide took A Kun, Teng Ge and others to the bus.

The distance between the two villages is about four kilometers.

Soon we arrived at Nanfen Village, which was full of strawberries, ginseng fruits and tomatoes.

A special area has been designated for tourists to pick fruits, and many tourists are already picking fruits.

"If you want to eat fruit, you can buy a basket and go in to pick it, then bring it back and weigh it, and you can eat it on the spot." The tour guide pointed to a pond not far away and said, "You can go fishing in this pond. Next to the pond is the restaurant area. You can order whatever you want to eat."

"go!"

"Let's go fishing!"

"50 yuan for a fishing spot? Only for one hour?"

"How about giving it a try?"

"You guys go fishing! I'm going to pick strawberries."

“I’m going to pick strawberries, too.”

A Kun and Teng Ge rented a fishing spot and came to a plank road where there were fishing spots arranged with fishing rods, buckets, bait boxes, small benches and solar visors.

After the two sat down, they smoked and chatted while fishing.

Ten minutes passed by unknowingly.

"Hey! A fish is caught..."

As the fishing rod was pulled, an Egyptian catfish weighing more than two kilograms emerged.

"Egyptian fish?"

"Hahaha, A-Kun, do you want to?"

"Egyptian fish is Egyptian fish, better than the Air Force."

The two fished for a while.

Throwing away the cigarette butt, A Kun suddenly asked in surprise: "Brother Teng, why didn't you encounter any mosquitoes today? Normally, when I go fishing, I catch several bags in less than ten minutes."

"Huh? It seems like there really isn't anything." Brother Teng was also a little surprised.

"I don't think I encountered any mosquitoes when I went to the durian orchard just now. Are there no mosquitoes here?"

"That shouldn't be possible, right? Shanmei and the Pearl River Delta are connected. How is it possible that there are mosquitoes in the Pearl River Delta but not here?" Brother Teng was very puzzled.

The two have been fishing for more than ten years and they know that in May in Lingnan, especially near ponds, there will be a lot of mosquitoes.

It is a very normal reaction for both of them to behave in such a strange way.

Others were not so careful and did not notice this.

In fact, the reason why there are no mosquitoes in these tourist villages is that several spray towers not far away are continuously spraying modulated pheromones around.

This thing is a derivative version of the bee repellent potion. It is also a natural mosquito repellent made from extracts of mugwort and several chrysanthemum plants as raw materials.

Currently, this mosquito repellent is widely used in tourist areas and internal facilities of Hailufeng Company.

In order to produce this natural pheromone agent that specifically repels specific insects, Hailufeng Company also built an environmentally friendly pesticide factory in Lufeng and signed contracts with a large number of farmers to grow mugwort and other useful plants.

Since the pheromone is specially customized for the mosquito genes, mosquitoes will not dare to enter the area filled with the aerosol of this medicine. Without mosquitoes entering, the guests will definitely not be bitten by mosquitoes.

Before I knew it, it was already half past twelve.

After fishing for an hour, A Kun and Teng Ge caught two Egyptian fish and a small grass carp. The grass carp was too small, so they released it.

And their wives also came back.

Xiaoqing was carrying a basket of white cheese strawberries, while the girl in sunglasses was carrying a basket of black pearl cherry tomatoes.

The woman in sunglasses didn't know much about Egyptian fish: "You fished for half a day and only caught two fish? Can you eat these fish?"

"It's edible." Brother Teng said awkwardly.

Ah Kun quickly changed the subject: "There are five restaurants here, which one do you want to eat at?"

Xiaoqing quickly said, "Of course it's a local food stall. I asked the uncle who manages the strawberry farm, and he said that the panlong eel at this local food stall is pretty good, as well as the eggplant pot, oyster omelette, and stir-fried kale."

"This one? A local food stall in Nanfen?"

"It should be this one."

"Then let's go!"

"I just ate a lot of strawberries and tomatoes. Let's take a break!"

Brother Teng carried a bucket of water and went to find the food stall owner.

When the boss saw him carrying a bucket with two Egyptian fish in it, he knew what he meant. He smiled and said, "Brother, these Egyptian fish are very delicious. I will charge you 20 yuan for two of them."

"Boss, I know this Egyptian fish. Add more spices, otherwise the earthy smell won't be suppressed."

However, the boss smiled and shook his head: "Brother, you don't know that the Egyptian fish in this fish pond are specially farmed. We go to the Hailufeng Company's farm every week to bring back fish and stock them. This fish doesn't smell fishy at all."

"real or fake?"

"I'll make you a stew of catfish later. I guarantee it tastes exactly like the local catfish."

"Then I'd like to try it."

In the private room on the second floor.

In less than half an hour, the oyster omelette, stir-fried kale with lard, bitter melon and sesame fish soup, and Egyptian catfish sizzling pot that they ordered were all served.

Considering there were two Egyptian fish, they didn't order the Panlong eel.

As soon as the Egyptian catfish sizzling pot came up, Brother Teng couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks. After taking a bite, he showed a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This taste is exactly the same as the local catfish. No, it's even less earthy." "Is it true?" A Kun also quickly took a bite: "It really is."

The woman in sunglasses, who had also taken a bite, nodded and said, "It tastes really good. I can't stand the slightest earthy smell. I can't even taste the earthy smell. This fish is good."

"Sister Qin, this kale is very sweet, you can try it."

"Uh-huh…"

“This oyster omelette is delicious too.”

"Damn it! Why did I go to pick strawberries?" Sister Qin, the girl wearing sunglasses, looked annoyed. After eating a few bites of each dish, she felt full.

Ah Kun didn't even go to get the free rice. He felt that they might not be able to finish the four dishes: "Fortunately, we didn't order an extra plate of dragon eel, otherwise we definitely wouldn't be able to finish it."

"Honey, how much are these dishes?" Sister Qin asked while drinking the milky white fish soup.

Brother Teng calculated, "The processing fee for the Zhe Zhe pot is 20 yuan, the kale is also 20 yuan, the oyster omelette is 25 yuan, and the bitter melon and sesame fish soup is 40 yuan, a total of 105 yuan."

“Great value for money!”

"Yeah! I thought this kind of tourist area would be extremely expensive."

"When we have free weekends in the future, we can come here for a self-driving tour. I feel that the prices in Shanmei are quite low."

Brother Teng shook his head: "I heard from people on the Internet that the prices in Shanmei are very high. Why does this situation seem a little strange?"

"Logically speaking, the prices in tourist areas should be more expensive than those outside!" A Kun also had a strange look on his face.

A few people ate and chatted, and when they had almost finished eating, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, so they rested for another half an hour.

The tour guide notified everyone in the temporary travel group.

Soon the tourist bus took them again to several local attractions, which were new attractions maintained by Hailufeng Company, such as the ruins of ancient artillery batteries, ancient human ruins, and beach park.

I wandered around for an entire afternoon.

In the evening we arrived at Magong Town for dinner.

Magong Fishing Port Avenue faces the harbor as the sun sets. Fishing boats of all sizes are moored at their berths, and the sea surface is rippling with sparkling waves in the evening breeze.

The fishy smell of the sea was dispersed a lot by the smoky smell of the restaurants lined up on Fishing Port Avenue.

Many tourists from other places took photos on the newly renovated road.

"What should I eat?"

"Cold meal in the Ma Palace? How about something cold?" Brother Teng suggested.

"Great! The weather is so hot, but the bus shelter here is really special! It's even equipped with air conditioners." Sister Qin, who was standing next to the bus shelter and enjoying the air conditioning, felt the cool breeze.

Ah Kun also agreed: "Let's have a cold buffet! I think there are quite a lot of people inside."

The group entered a restaurant called "Magong Cold Meals".

As soon as I came in, I realized that this was a sashimi restaurant.

The waiter handed them the menu with a smile: "Hey, is this your first time here?"

"Yes!" Brother Teng was not too worried that the store would cheat him, because he specifically asked the tour guide in the afternoon and got an unexpected answer.

That is the area the tour guide brought them to. All of them are contracted individual businesses, small companies, cooperatives, etc. of Hailufeng Company. For example, all the buildings on this street in front of them have been bought by Hailufeng Company and transformed into a special tourist area.

If tourists feel there is a problem with their shopping in the tourist area, they can directly report it to the tour guide and Hailufeng Company will naturally give an explanation.

"Then I recommend this set meal for four people to you and go to Hailufeng."

Brother Teng didn't think too much and decided directly: "Walking into Hailufeng? Huh? So this is the name of the set meal, then let's take this set meal!"

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Ten minutes later.

The waiter came with a dining cart.

"Everyone, this is the first dish. It is colorful and all the ingredients come from our company's own farm and cooperative farms."

It is actually a fruit salad with black pearl cherry tomatoes, amethyst ginseng fruit, cheese strawberries, fruit corn, and red dragon fruit.

"These are Shiomachi oysters, the finest oysters from our town."

“This is Flame Sockeye, a Pacific salmon from this town that can be eaten raw.”

“This is pink salmon sashimi, also locally farmed Pacific pink salmon.”

"This is a marinated steak from our company's own farm in the south of the desert."

“This is salmon roe and glass eel…”

Brother Teng was a little scared by the waiter's introduction, and asked quickly: "Waiter, are you sure this set meal is 688 yuan? Not 6888?"

"Guest, please rest assured that our prices are clearly marked."

Although the portions of dishes on the table are not too large, the price-performance ratio is very high.

After the waiter put down a bottle of tangerine honey water, he left quietly.

Ah Kun took action immediately. He picked up one of the four oysters, squeezed some lemon juice on it, and sucked the oyster into his mouth: "This oyster is good!"

"You can eat mine! I can't eat oysters." Xiaoqing picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of well-fried beef strips, and dipped it in the white truffle salt on the plate.

"They gave me a lot of beef, almost half a pound." Brother Teng also picked up a piece of beef strips: "But it's fried so well, isn't it too tough..."

"It's not old! It's delicious!" Xiaoqing thinks the beef is very delicious.

Sister Qin picked up the big bowl, the surface of the bowl was covered with a layer of sockeye salmon meat, the sockeye salmon meat was changed into a grid pattern, and cheese was poured on the surface, and then lightly grilled over a flame. The fish meat was separated with chopsticks, and underneath was a big bowl of sweet vinegar rice. In fact, this is similar to the method of making sushi.

"Wife, this pink salmon is so fresh and sweet, you should try it." Brother Teng took a bite of the thinly sliced ​​pink salmon. The crystal clear fish meat had a light pink color.

After the meal, they were full.

After all, with sockeye salmon, beef and fruit salad, plus rice, drinks, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream for each person at the end of the meal, it is definitely possible to eat your fill.
