After a short break in the room, the hungry group went out to soak in the local life like ordinary tourists, and took care of dinner needs by the way.
In fact, there are restaurants in the hotel, and they can also provide meal service, but when they come to such a place, they don't experience it outside, some can't say it, and Chen Kangjie always believes that the food in many cities is not in the palatial hotels, and in those small roadside shops, and even some are in the open-air stalls, only these so-called folk chefs will cook and prepare food in accordance with the traditional methods, and in the extravagant high-end restaurants, in order to take into account the stunning appearance and tone of the food, they often change the preparation method of some classic food, so that the taste can not achieve the original effect。
A few dozen meters away from the "Blue House" there is a bustling street in the old town of Penang, at this time the street seems narrower than when I just came, and more stalls are placed on the roadside, such as food stalls, fruit stalls, seafood stalls, craft gift stalls, etc., a dazzling array of temporary "street lamps" Brighter than the original overhead street lamp, the tricycle in the middle of the road to pull goods and people shuttles non-stop, and there are people pushing T-shirts and slippers placed in large cardboard boxes along the street to sell, not only the road that is not wide has narrowed, even the sidewalk of more than one meter is basically gone, but those tricycle drivers who only wear a sweatshirt are really good, several times Chen Kangjie is worried that passers-by will be hit immediately, the result is that there is no danger, the locals passing by are very calm, and seem to trust the driving skills of those people.
"Sir, do you want to eat, come in and have a look, we have all the food in Penang here", Tan Kang Kit was watching the two tricycles in the middle of the road, a hoarse voice came from the right hand side.
Chen Kangjie came back to his senses, it turned out to be a man in his thirties wearing a white sweatshirt talking to him, judging from the skin color and face shape, this man is no different from the locals, his face is long, and his complexion is brown and yellow, but the reason why his voice can attract Chen Kangjie is because he speaks more difficult Mandarin.
Chen Kangjie glanced at the man's body and looked up to see that it was a two-story restaurant with an extended eaves on the wall, the two corners of the eaves were upturned, and some glazed tiles were used to build a cover, and under the eaves was a piece of "Gourmet House" written in Chinese and English The plaque, the upstairs windows and the door of the restaurant are wooden, the color is crimson, antique, the door is open, the depth is relatively large at a glance, there is a small bar counter that doubles as a cashier near the door, the bar counter is enshrined behind the statue of Guan Erye with a big knife in his hand, there are two rows of dining tables on the right hand, the number is as many as a dozen, the most in-room position, the left is the stairs upstairs, the left and right are a passage, someone enters and exits from that passage, it is rare that there are two pots of wealth trees on the left and right sides of the gate, which is a difficult green landscape to find on this busy street。
"It looks like a good environment," Chen Kangjie commented with a smile on his face.
"On this street, we are the most spacious and comfortable, many tourists like to dine here, not only the taste is authentic, the environment is also elegant, a few from Hong Kong or from the treasure island. The man's little eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to talk to Chen Kangjie with a smile.
"Hehe, you can tell. Chen Kangjie asked with a smile.
"A little bit, your complexion is not so yellow, and you dress very casually, and the Japanese dress more formally, so I guess you are Chinese."
"Hehe, interesting, okay, we'll eat here, but we have to find the best environment for us", since the store is so shrewd, Chen Kangjie did not postpone it, and decided to solve the stomach problem here.
"Then go to the small courtyard at the back, there are not many guests now, wait another half an hour, and the upstairs and courtyard will be full", the man stretched out his hand to invite Chen Kangjie and them in, and casually proudly introduced.
"Then your business is really prosperous."
"We are Hokkien people, and this generation of Hokkien people is more, the Chinese are the most, all rely on the support of fellow villagers, in recent years, with more and more Chinese tourists coming to us, our business is to do better."
"Haha, don't kill us," Chen Kangjie said with a hearty smile.
At this time, they had come to a small courtyard behind the building from the left passage at the top, and there were three palm trees planted in the courtyard, which were as tall as the roof on the second floor, and there were three dining tables under the trees, and the floor was dotted with pebbles, and in each of the three corners of the courtyard there was a small flower bed of about one meter square, full of colorful local varieties of small flowers.
"Look at the satisfaction here, we will not kill customers here, they are all clearly priced, besides, it is a very honorable and very happy thing to be able to receive folks overseas, how can it be unpleasant, but there needs to be a service tip here, after all, there are only three dining tables in such a large space, and we have to arrange someone to serve it, hehe", the man was still a little embarrassed when he introduced.
"Such a good environment, a little tip, it is really deserved, in fact, we really want to eat on the road, but unfortunately the outside is too narrow, the tip should not be very expensive. Chen Kangjie pulled out a chair and sat down first.
"It's not expensive, it only costs 300 ringgit", (changed to ringgit after 2oo4, and is often called Gulint in order to avoid confusion in writing), the man said, shaking his hand.
"Well, a hundred dollars, brothers, sit by yourself", Chen Kangjie nodded, and waved at Xiong Ziqiang.
After the man went out, he quickly changed into a young girl with her head tied up and wearing a fuchsia kabaya with three-quarter-sleeves in the service.
Judging from the menu, there is really a lot of food here, curry noodles, nasi lemak, wonton noodles, shark fin soup, satay, glutinous rice porridge, almond tea, etc., and because of its proximity to the sea, seafood is the richest variety.
Chen Kangjie flipped through the menu, and Xiong Ziqiang had already ordered the food they wanted to eat.
"You're so sharp," Chen joked with a smile.
"Hehe, anyway, we don't know what's delicious, so let's order it randomly."
"Miss, may I ask what is spicy here. Chen Kangjie smiled and stretched out his hand to beckon the girl who was busy making notes in the small notebook.
"Ah, you, what do you say. The girl looked at Chen Kangjie blankly, obviously he couldn't understand Chen Kangjie's Chinese, so he could only ask questions in vague English.
Chen Kangjie couldn't do anything, so he asked again in English.
This time the girl understood, walked up to Chen Kangjie with the menu, and recommended him a sour and hot dish and other dishes that are distinctive but more expensive, to be honest, the English they speak, if you are not used to it, it is really difficult to understand, jerky and awkward, Chen Kangjie took a lot of effort to understand.
The girl recommended to Chen Kangjie that dish is a ginseng laksa, the most primitive way of this dish is to cook with Ganwang fish, but the price of this fish is more expensive, so the waiter also specially asked Chen Kangjie whether to use Ganwang fish or take other fish instead, Chen Kangjie wants to eat of course the most original taste, the price is not considered at all, the practice of this food is: first cook the fish in water, then remove the bones, and then put the fish into the soup base to boil, so that the sweetness of the fish into the soup, plus the ginseng slices and chili peppers, so that it has a sour and spicy taste, served on the table of the ginseng laksa, with mint leaves, shredded pineapple, cucumber, onion, and shrimp paste, this dish is very satisfying for those who love sour and spicy food.
Hot and sour is the dietary characteristics of Qianzhou people, so this dish is very in line with Chen Kangjie's taste, and so this dish is really served in front of him, Chen Kangjie is addicted, the fragrance is tangy, not only the color is rich and redundant, the taste is sour and spicy, and the fish has no bones, soft and smooth, and the soup is fresh and fragrant.
Originally, Chen Kangjie also ordered grilled fish and strange crab with manta fish in banana leaf wraps, oyster omelette and squid salad, but his taste was all occupied by this dish of ginseng laksa and light gray and sweet nasi lemak, and at the end it was accompanied by a bowl of cool and refreshing four-fruit soup, which can not only help digestion, but also soak people's spirits.
After eating, he walked back to the "Blue House" with a satisfied stomach, and as soon as he approached the small courtyard, he saw John Jimmy and Samidov sitting on a bench in the courtyard waiting for him.
In Chen Kangjie's room, the two large windows were pushed open, and the sea breeze mixed with various fragrances blew in, and he didn't feel very hot without turning on the fan.
Chen Kangjie divided the brewed pot of tea into four cups and distributed them to everyone, and casually asked Samidov, "The ship is ready." ”。
Considering everyone's mutual acceptance, the conversation was conducted in English, and Xiong Ziqiang's English skills were already very good anyway.
"It was arranged, four fishing boats were found, the maximum is 20 knots (1 knot is 1.852 km/h), but the distance from Penang to Bandaqi is relatively long, more than 300 or 400 km, and it may only be able to maintain a voyage of 17 knots, if we go out in the morning, the sunset can be reached, but now it is not very peaceful over there, and the main price of the boats is relatively high", Samidov replied with a teacup.
"The price is not a problem, give as much as you want, so that tomorrow we will leave at half-past seven on time, Samidov, the four of you will take one boat in Segridan 6, John Jimmy, you will take a boat with me to Bandazi, but the distance between you and me is fifteen nautical miles, choose a suitable place to board6, and the other boat will be left alone outside the harbor near the island of Weh, in case of emergency, Brother Qiang, we are all Chinese faces, accompany me to meet Hassan Rodi", Chen Kangjie quickly assigned the purpose of the four boats.
