There are a total of eight network terminals on Route 8. The four backpackers did not know the identity of this small house, but they roughly guessed that they were related to the wireless network.
A few dozen minutes later, Corolla entered the business area of Sunset Town, and the signs of supermarkets, hotels and restaurants appeared in their field of vision.
The four young people found a place to park. Zheng Anjing, like most fashionable girls, is a shopping expert. She became excited after seeing the supermarket sign: "Wow, what do you need? I have to buy something."
Du Zewen was surprised after taking a look: "Department supermarket? Hey, did I read that correctly?"
Xu Tao smiled and said: "Yes, these are the four people. Brother Du, your Chinese proficiency is no problem."
Du Zewen understood the meaning of his joke and said: "No, didn't you find the problem? This 'department supermarket' is a Chinese character!"
Only then did the other three notice this anomaly. They glanced at it and were used to seeing Chinese billboards in China. They didn't think much about it.
At this time, Zheng Anjing said hesitantly: "It seems that when I searched for information about Sunset Town last night, it was said on the Internet that the mayor is a handsome Chinese guy."
"Is there a Chinese mayor in New Zealand?"
"It seems so. I remember that there was a major earthquake in a Maori town in the South Island some time ago. A Chinese mayor and his dog became the protagonist of the news. However, I didn't know the details. At the time, I thought it was fake news." Du Zewen was not sure. said.
The four of them discussed for a while, and finally Zheng Anjing and her boyfriend went in to buy something, while Du Zewen and his friends went to find a place to have lunch.
Next to the supermarket was a restaurant called Sprees' Kitchen. Du Zewen saw that the decoration was very stylish and wanted to go in and have a look.
His friend grabbed him and said, "Lao Du, you are crazy. Looking at the decoration of this restaurant and the number of tables and chairs inside, it must be a high-end restaurant. Do we have such a budget?"
After all, they are here for a working trip, not just for a vacation, and they have to spend money sparingly, because they have earned it with their sweat.
It has to be said that it is really difficult to make money in a strange country. Their academic qualifications and abilities are of no use in this country, and they can only earn money by working as workers at the lowest level.
Du Zewen said with a smile: "Let's go in and have a look. If it's too expensive, we'll just leave. This is New Zealand, not China. There's no shame in leaving after seeing the price."
Among the countries in the world, East Asian countries, such as China, Japan and South Korea, may have the best reputation. Losing face is more serious than losing money.
New Zealand is different. The white people who came to this island country were all losers in Europe. Survival is more important to them, and losing face doesn't matter. This kind of thinking continues to influence us to this day.
The two entered the restaurant and were greeted by a chubby chef with a smile: "Good day, gentlemen, how many are there?"
"Four of you, can we take a look first?" Du Zewen responded in proficient English.
His friend shook his head and said in Chinese: "Don't look at it, Lao Du. Look at the chef's clothes and hat. They are spotless. Look at the decoration materials here. They are all real good things. They must be very expensive." "
At this time, a sunny and handsome Mexican young man came out with a lunch box. After hearing what Du Zewen's friend said, he was slightly startled and said in unskilled Chinese: "You, Chinese? There are expensive meals here, but they are discounted. It’s a lot of money to spend.”
Du Zewen and his friends were shocked and asked the handsome young man in unison: "Can you speak Chinese? Have you ever been in China?"
The handsome Mexican young man shrugged and said, "Our mayor is Chinese. He is promoting the de-New Zealandization movement and wants us to learn Chinese. I wish you a happy lunch and goodbye."
Seeing the handsome guy hurried away, Du Zewen and his friends were shocked. Are there really Chinese people serving as mayors in New Zealand
The fat chef presented a gilt menu, and the price of the dishes on it made the two of them sweat: tuna macaroni salad - 89 yuan, pasta with vanilla almond pesto - 120 yuan, bacon and potato sandwich - 68 yuan, potato chip salad -66 yuan, Baked Shrimp Butterfly Noodles-115 yuan, Mediterranean Tomato Feast-125 yuan...
Then they opened the menu to the premium dishes page, and the two of them started to sweat: Russian smoked duck breast - 255 yuan, red wine and pepper roast lamb leg - 460 yuan, fried pork chop - 289 yuan, red wine pork chop - 325 yuan, black pepper Veal Steak - 699 yuan…
"One dish can eat up our food expenses for a week." Du Zewen whispered to his friends. They knew that the fat chef knew Chinese and did not dare to speak loudly.
As a result, people guessed the meaning from their expressions. The fat chef smiled and said: "We have just opened, and the boss said that we can use discounts to attract customers. You can enjoy a 10% discount."
"One fold? Did I hear correctly?"
"It's just 10% off, it's already very cheap, isn't it?" The fat chef said with a smile.
Du Zewen and his friend made a mental calculation and nodded to each other to confirm that they would eat here. Although some dishes are very expensive after discounts, there is no shop like this in this village, and the environment and decoration alone can be sold for this price.
The young couple arrived later, and both of them were surprised to see each other. Xu Tao said in surprise: "Brother Du, you are the rich ones. We have seen introductions to this restaurant online, and the consumption is very high!"
Du Zewen looked at the big bags the two of them were carrying and was equally surprised: "Oh my god, are you planning to live at home here? Why did you buy so many things?"
After hearing this, Xu Tao said depressedly: "Don't mention it. I don't know what happened. I entered the supermarket and was as quiet as a stray dog on a leash..."
"What's the analogy?" Zheng Jingjing's pretty face turned cold, "Am I the only one who bought it? You didn't buy it? Besides, how many things were bought for you? Which one of them is not a necessity?"
Seeing that the two of them seemed to be arguing, Du Zewen quickly said: "I have good news for you. This restaurant is on sale today, 10% off! So, we can enjoy a capitalist lunch here!"
"Ah, a discount?" As expected, the young couple immediately shifted their attention.
Starting to order, Du Zewen ordered a Spanish potato omelette, creamy potato soup and an Italian black pepper lamb chop. The total was sixty-five yuan, which would have been six hundred and fifty yuan without the discount!
The young couple did not agree with the way he ordered: "10% off, Brother Du, order something expensive. The total price of your potato omelette is 20 yuan. Although it is cheap after the 10% discount, you actually save 18 yuan. Order it. This Sprouse family’s secret veal steak costs 1,100 yuan, so you can save a thousand yuan!”
"You're right, let's change the dishes! But boss, why are your beef, sheep, chicken and duck dishes so expensive?" Du Zewen asked.
The fat chef said with a smile: "Because the raw materials themselves are expensive, let's do this. After the meal, if you think these dishes are not delicious, then I will waive the order!" (.)
