The Random Pa.s.serby I Married Is The Richest Man! Chapter 6 Part 1: Reunion with the first love Huo Xiang took Bai Zhen Zhen to a local restaurant.
The store was on the main street, so it wasn"t big, but the environment inside the store was neat and clean. It was currently mealtime, but there weren"t many people. When they entered the store, only a table for 3 was occupied.
"Do you eat spicy?" Huo Xiang asked her.
"Yes, I can eat anything." Bai Zhen Zhen answered.
Huo Xiang smiled: "That"s good, the taste in this food is relatively heavy, but the flavor is really good."
"But I also need to order two light dishes to take away, my dad will be operated tomorrow, he can"t eat spicy."
Huo Xiang nodded: "Understood."
He ordered chicken, meatball soup, bitter melon scrambled eggs, and a salad, and handed the menu back to the waiter. He then went to the self-service area and poured two gla.s.ses of water and also brought a bowl of peanuts.
Bai Zhen Zhen looked at how he did this with familiarity and teased him: "The service quality is not bad ah! How about you work here to pay for your medical expenses!"
Perhaps it was because of that one thousand yuan, it seemed like the friendship between the two had become better. Bai Zhen Zhen suddenly felt that Huo Xiang and her were not strangers anymore, and the atmosphere when getting along was much more natural.
She could now be regarded as "alone in a foreign country," she had no one to talk to apart from the system in her head. Therefore, she took the initiative to find a topic to chat with Huo Xiang.
"Huo Xiang, is there any interesting area here? I mean, to go on a trip for holidays and the like." Bai Zhen Zhen asked.
"To go on a holiday trip?" Huo Xiang frowned. "Exactly what kind?"
Bai Zhen Zhen held her hands together, her face filled with expectation: "Islands ah, gra.s.slands ah, you know, I like that sort of endless feeling."
"If we"re talking about islands, last time I heard from a patient in the ward saying he"d go on a trip to the Maledives1 when he was cured, saying the ocean over there is very beautiful."
"Male… Dive Islands?!" Bai Zhen Zhen doubted her own hearing.
Huo Xiang earnestly nodded: "Yes, the Maledives. What, you haven"t heard of them before?"
Bai Zhen Zhen collected herself from her surprise, and said with ridicule: "How could I not have heard of them? I was just thinking that the price for sure can"t be cheap… "
"I don"t know," Huo Xiang shook his head, "the poor don"t ask about the prices, they can"t afford to ask."
Bai Zhen Zhen had already begun to move the abacus in her mind.
If in this world the prices were about the same as in her original world, if she flew to an island, the transport fees would be around 10,000 yuan. Then the accommodation, food and drink, needed to be within 500 yuan per day, and the annual cost should be within the budget of 200,000 yuan.
It looked like she couldn"t stay at a hotel ah…
Or maybe she could rent a house?
Mmm, let"s first go there and see.
"Why, do you want to take Uncle Bai to travel?" Huo Xiang looked at Bai Zhen Zhen, his eyes seemed nervous, "After Uncle Bai"s surgery, shouldn"t he continue with chemotherapy? The follow-up treatment is also very important, I fear it would be too inconvenient to go so far… "
Bai Zhen Zhen wanted to tell him that she would be traveling alone, but she was afraid she would be labeled as "such an unfilial daughter" by him.
"I was just asking, maybe one day I can go there if I have the chance." Bai Zhen Zhen dodged.
Just in time, the chicken dish was ready, and a large steaming bowl was served by the waiter.
"Please also bring us four boxes to pack the leftovers," said Huo Xiang.
Bai Zhen Zhen was completely attracted by the smell of chicken. She had solved the past two meals casually; she could finally eat a quality meal tonight!!
It"s all nice and everything, but… don"t you think there"s something missing? And it"s not salt… maybe some spice?
Footnotes:
1: Raws used 珠尔代夫 (zhūěrdàifū) which sounds very similar to 马尔代夫 (Mǎ"ěrdàifū), the Maldives. Only the first kanji changes, and the new kanji 珠 (zhū) means pearl (btw pearl sounds just like pig 猪 (zhū) so that"s why BZZ is doubting her ears). I was gonna leave it as Pearl Dive Islands but… My friend Betroot helped me with the wordplay and after a couple suggestions he came up with… the Male Dive Islands ? and I was like omg this is gold
