Chapter 18 Cantonese breakfast, rich and delicious
He stood at the window with his arms folded and looked out for a while.
Gulp, gulp, Qiao Lan drank the water in the cup.
When the wind started to blow before midnight last night, she thought the situation had changed and this life was different from the previous one.
Later, when the wind stopped, she remembered that nothing had changed.
In her previous life, before the strong winds at three or four in the morning, there had also been a small, localized hurricane. However, she hadn't been near the Tsui Wah Hotel in her previous life, so she didn't remember the localized winds.
"Order breakfast."
Qiao Lan looked for a while and then left the window, called the front desk and asked the chef to come.
"Ah? Sister Lan, you still have an appetite?" Xiao Li was surprised. "It's like the end of the world outside..."
What kind of doomsday is this?
Worse things are yet to come.
Qiao Lan put on her slippers and went into the bathroom to take a shower and change clothes.
It's not that she is cold-blooded.
I've seen far more brutal things, and I've learned to remain calm. Compared to what happened later, the current gale was nothing.
"Even if the world ends, we still have to eat. If we don't eat enough, how can we face the end of the world?"
Now the wind is only blowing in the coastal provinces and cities, but it won’t be long before the storm sweeps across the country and the world.
More buildings collapsed.
More people died.
The water, electricity, gas and communication systems were completely paralyzed.
Although the APP is often paralyzed and extremely difficult to use, it is still possible to communicate with each other. When there is no network, not to mention using the APP, even phone calls cannot be connected, and the smartphone becomes completely useless.
It can be said that human life has completely regressed to the pre-liberation era.
If you don't eat and drink enough and enjoy high-end hotel services while there is still water and electricity, it will be too late to regret when the end of the world really comes.
Bang bang bang!
Not long after Qiao Lan entered the bathroom, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Xiao Li opened the door, "Ah? It's you? You want to..."
Before he could finish his words, the other party pushed Xiao Li away and rushed in.
Crying: "Qiao Lan! Where's Qiao Lan!"
Before Xiao Li and Xiao Tang could stop him, the man quickly ran through all the rooms in the suite, looking for someone at the door. Finally, he found the sound of water running in the bathroom with the door closed, so he rushed over and knocked on the door.
"Qiao Lan! Come out! Come out!!"
"what are you up to?"
Xiao Tang walked over to stop her.
Snap!
She raised her hand and scratched Xiao Tang's face.
Two blood marks immediately appeared on Xiao Tang's face.
"What should I do? You still have the nerve to ask me? If Qiao Lan hadn't called me here and trapped me here, I would have been with my boyfriend last night. But he's dead now! Dead!"
The other party banged on the door frantically, screamed and cried, scratching and hitting Xiao Tang with his hands, like a madman.
This is the girl who complained about Qiao Lan in the dining hall last night.
Xiao Tang had been a soldier, so it was easy for him to deal with a girl who couldn't fight.
But precisely because he had been a soldier, he always had rules in his heart and would not easily attack ordinary people.
He was just blocking the girl's crazy attack, and soon several blood marks appeared on his arms and neck exposed outside his short sleeves.
"Hello, breakfast service."
At this time, outside the open door, the father and son chefs from last night appeared pushing a food cart.
The cart was piled with fresh ingredients, placed on beautifully shaped plates. There was a lot of them, the colors were bright and harmonious, and they looked delicious.
The crying girl was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a cry.
"You killed my boyfriend, and yet you're here enjoying yourself and eating, drinking, and having fun! Despicable! Despicable! You're staying in such a luxurious room, which clearly comes with free breakfast, and you even hired a chef to make breakfast! It's almost noon and you're still having breakfast? You must have slept in, right? Have you ever considered that while you were enjoying yourself like this, my boyfriend died, died! He'll never be able to eat anything again, never again..."
The girl cried loudly and screamed at the top of her lungs.
Outside the door, there were several people who had followed her upstairs. When they saw her throwing a tantrum, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The two chefs in white clothes were very calm, still maintaining a decent smile and a high level of service awareness.
After all, luxury hotels do have the class of luxury hotels.
Bang!
The bathroom door suddenly opened and the girl fell in unexpectedly.
She was banging on the door, and when the door opened, the force was released and she fell flat on her face.
Qiao Lan came out wearing a bathrobe and slippers.
Seeing the scratches on Xiao Tang's face and body, he turned around with a smile and stepped on the girl's head.
The girl had already fallen quite hard, and with this kick, her forehead hit the floor tiles with a dull thud, which made everyone present tremble with fear.
Xiao Tang was shocked.
I've never seen Qiao Lan hit so hard.
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble, taking your anger out on others, and repaying kindness with hatred?" Qiao Lan laughed. "I don't want to bother with insignificant people, and considering that you just lost your man and are emotionally agitated, get out of here."
He added, "If you don't want to get out and make me angry, you might not be able to eat anything anymore."
After saying that, she slipped into the inner room in slippers, pretending to shake, but in fact she took out an iodine cotton swab and a Band-Aid from the space, and handed them to Xiao Tang to treat the scratches.
"Sister Lan, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious." Xiao Tang said.
"Take it." Qiao Lan insisted.
The scratches were not deep and would not be a big deal on a normal day, but the apocalyptic disaster had already begun.
The wind is raging and the environment is abnormal. Who knows how many bacteria and viruses are floating in the air? Any injury must be treated with caution.
Seeing that Qiao Lan insisted, Xiao Tang walked aside and obediently began to apply iodine and put on a Band-Aid.
"Come in, both of you." Qiao Lan called the chef in. "My brother is injured. I need to make him some delicious food to nourish him. I'll make the Cantonese-style morning tea you mentioned yesterday."
The chef politely agreed and went in to start preparing the meal on the spot.
The technique is skillful and the ingredients are exquisite.
Soon, the rich aroma of food filled the living room.
Snow-white Cantonese rice rolls filled with green vegetables and fresh shrimp.
Authentic Cantonese dim sum such as crystal shrimp dumplings, black bean sauce chicken feet, dry steamed siu mai, barbecued pork buns, and custard buns are freshly wrapped in the steamer.
Preserved egg and lean meat porridge, white porridge, and pork liver porridge are simmered over low heat in advance.
White-cut chicken, roast goose rice, bacon, pork chops...
It's rich and delicious, making you unable to control your saliva.
Qiao Lan called out to the few people who were peeking out from outside the door, "Come in and have something to eat?"
"Uh, no... no..."
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Qiao Lan asked with a smile.
She looks like a harmless and naive little chubby girl.
But that kick just now really scared everyone.
Subconsciously, several people did not dare to hide anything, and they spoke one after another, hesitantly telling the whole story.
They were all university students from C University, who had come together for dinner the previous night. Because of the strong winds, they had been forced to stay in the hotel, and even during a brief lull in the wind, they hadn't dared to leave. Some had gone upstairs to book a room, but they hadn't, so they just slumped over on chairs in the dining hall for half the night, barely getting any sleep, their eyes all bruised and blue.
According to the news on WeChat Moments, several old dormitory buildings of C University collapsed in the strong wind last night.
The girl’s boyfriend was in one of the buildings.
Not long ago, the girl finally received a reply from her boyfriend, but it was sent by her boyfriend's surviving roommate using his phone.
The girl's boyfriend was smashed to death.
She burst into tears upon hearing the news, and first scolded her boyfriend's surviving roommate, blaming him for not saving people when the disaster struck.
Later, she ran to the service desk and asked for Qiao Lan's room number, then rushed up and started crying.
"Oh, I see."
Qiao Lan sat on the sofa and applied lotion.
To the girl who had just struggled to get out of the bathroom after being stepped on, he said, "As for your boyfriend, I'm not familiar with you and I don't know him at all, but out of humanitarianism, I'd like to express my condolences."
I'm humane, but you can't mess around.
