Entering this Cantonese-style restaurant, Xiao Chen found that there were really many customers.
"My classmates and I often come here to eat. The plain-cut chicken, roast suckling pig, and roast goose here are all top-notch," Lin Lin said.
"Then let's have a taste."
They have been eating either Thai food or Western food these days, and both Xiao Chen and Mo Xiaowan feel tired of it.
Sitting on a seat near the window, Xiao Chen could smell the fragrance.
After the waitress brought the menu, Lin Lin personally ordered a few classic dishes and asked: "Doctor Xiao, is that enough?"
"Let's order a few more." Xiao Chen didn't lack the money.
Lin Lin ordered several dishes at once.
Xiao Chen could tell that Lin Lin's family background was not very good. Otherwise, why would she work as a part-time translator and tour guide?
However, Xiao Chen saw that Lin Lin had a good face and felt that her family background should still be very good!
Moreover, they are all fifth-generation immigrants.
Her family must be very good!
"Ms. Lin, your family should be well off. Why do you want to work part-time?"
"Actually, I don't want to spend my family's money. I earned all my college tuition and living expenses myself."
For example, Bangkok University where she studied is a private aristocratic university, and the annual tuition fees are quite expensive.
As for living expenses, they definitely add up to a lot.
However, Lin Lin made her own money and would only ask her family for money when she had no choice but to do so.
At this point, it shows that she is still very independent.
It turns out that this is the case, which makes Xiao Chen somewhat admired.
After a few minutes, a waitress quickly brought the tableware, and then the food she had just ordered.
In Yangcheng in China, when eating, the bowls and chopsticks are rinsed with hot water and disinfected first, and the same is true here in Chinatown, Thailand.
Lin Lin taught Xiao Chen and the two of them to rinse the dishes and chopsticks first.
When the waitress brought the food down and the three of them ate together, Xiao Chen had already eaten authentic Cantonese food in China.
When I tasted it again now, I found that it was really good.
This white-cut chicken is especially fragrant with the specially prepared soy sauce.
There is also the roasted suckling pig, which is very fragrant and crispy.
…
By the time we finished our lunch, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, so nothing was wasted.
When Xiao Chen called the waitress to pay, he asked: "Can I pay in Chinese yuan?"
"OK."
Xiao Chen paid a few hundred yuan, which was not very expensive.
After coming out of this hotel.
"Ms. Lin, where should we go?"
"We can go to the Chao Phraya River and see the houses on the water."
Under Lin Lin's guidance, Xiao Chen drove to a small port on the Chao Phraya River.
We parked the car there first, and when we got out of the car, we saw the small boats. Some of them took tourists to browse the scenery along the river, while others promoted and sold things.
They sell fruit snacks and other local products, just like mobile shops.
After Lin Lin called a boatman and negotiated the price with the boss in Thai, she said: "Dr. Xiao, this boss wants 2,500 baht."
"How much is that?"
"Almost five or six hundred Chinese dollars."
"Sit for how long?"
"He took us to Bangkok Bend and back from Bangkok Bend, which took about four or five hours."
One hundred yuan an hour is not very expensive.
Xiao Chen thought it was extremely expensive.
After Xiao Chen agreed, he took out 600 yuan of Chinese yuan and handed it to the boss. After the boss took it, he got on the stool of the boat.
"For those who don't understand prices, it may cost at least 5,000 baht."
Lin Lin said.
Wouldn’t that cost a thousand yuan?
In fact, traveling in Thailand is quite cheap.
Of course, if it costs 1,000 yuan to ride on such a small boat, it would be better to go to Bangkok and take a cruise ship, where you can also watch the ladyboy performances on the cruise ship.
A large part of it is just local tour guides and these boat owners working together to deceive tourists.
However, Lin Lin did not want to make money from Xiao Chen.
If she wants it, just say 800 Chinese yuan, and she can earn two to three hundred yuan.
As the boat rowed slowly, Xiao Chen found that there were really many fruit sellers.
Moreover, Xiao Chen saw many people living on the water.
These are the people Lin Lin was talking about.
These floating families basically live on boats on the water. They may fish as a family, take passengers, or sell things.
Anyway, I won't starve to death, and it seems that business is pretty good sometimes.
Along the way, we really saw a lot of these floating houses.
It took more than two hours to reach Bangkok Bay. At that time, now
It was calm in the Bay of Bangkok. Apart from seeing many large ships and cruise ships, there were also small boats like the one Xiao Chen and the three were riding on now.
You won't get seasick when you sit on this kind of boat, and the river breeze is particularly comfortable.
The owner of the small boat started to return to the original route. When he went back, the other party was faster.
When we returned to the original road, it was already almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
Coming down from the small port.
Xiao Chen felt ready to have dinner, and then sent Lin Lin back.
"Ms. Lin, let's go eat first and then take you back."
In fact, after an afternoon of getting to know each other, Lin Lin found that Xiao Chen, a young man, was really powerful and knew a lot, which made her admire him indescribably.
"Then do you still need my translator tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I don't know yet."
Xiao Chen felt that it shouldn't be necessary.
However, he wasn't sure yet.
Heading towards that car.
Xiao Chen thought it would be better to go back to Bangkok's Chinatown because the food there was more authentic.
When they came to the vicinity of Chinatown, Xiao Chen, Mo Xiaowan, and Lin Lin entered Chinatown. There were more people now. Xiao Chen pulled Mo Xiaowan to prevent him from getting lost, and Lin Lin was almost next to Xiao Chen.
Follow Xiao Chen inside.
"Ms. Lin, where is the best place for us to eat?" All eight major domestic cuisines are available here.
Except for the Cantonese restaurant where we ate in the morning, we don’t know anything else yet.
"The hot pot restaurant here is also good. I can take you to try it."
Entering a Sichuan hotpot restaurant.
Xiao Chen found that there were many customers, but there was no need to wait in line.
After sitting down to order, Xiao Chen ordered clear soup, still to take care of Lin Lin and Mo Xiaowan.
After the waitress left, Xiao Chen said: "Ms. Lin, after dinner, we will take you back to Bangkok University."
If Lin Lin took the car back by herself, she would definitely have to pay for the fare.
"Dr. Xiao, I'll trouble you then."
Xiao Chen took out three hundred yuan, which was the translation fee for Lin Lin today.
Xiao Chen thought the other party would accept it, but unexpectedly, the other party said: "Dr. Xiao, I won't accept the money. I want you to do me a favor."
