846. Hometown Taste (5/5)

After hearing Steve's words, Li Du couldn't help but want to Taotao's ears: "What, man? Do you want to dig gems? Do you mean you want to invest in a mine?"

Steve shook his head and said, "No, it's just mining, I want to be a miner."

Li Du swallowed, and Sophie thought he was thirsty, so she poured him a glass of water.

He pushed the water cup open and said, "You want to be a miner? I don't understand it. Steve, I hope you can explain it clearly. What is your purpose?"

After saying this, he added: "I mean, miners are tired and have few gains. How could you have such an idea?"

Steve smiled and said, "I need exercise. The life of miners is very exercised, right?"

Li Du said: "Indeed, it is indeed very good at exercising, but its work is too heavy, and I don't think it is suitable for you. And it is also very dangerous. A mine collapse occurred in Lightning Ridge not long ago."

Steve said: "I will pay attention and take me to see it. This time I came to the jewelry salon and I became interested in some gemstones."

Li Du smiled bitterly and said, "If you want gemstones, I bet that many people want to rush to give them to you, so there is no need to take risks, right?"

Steve's background and identity are very unusual. He has poor physical fitness and has a heart disease. Li Du dared not take him to the mine, otherwise he would not be able to take responsibility if he had some problems.

As a result, the man was very stubborn. After hearing Li Du's words, he shook his head repeatedly: "What's the point of getting the raw stones like that? I want to harvest these gems by myself."

Li Du continued to persuade him, but he refused to listen and insisted that he hoped to get help from Li Du and wanted to go to Lightning Ridge to take a look.

However, he lowered his requirements and just went to see it. He may not necessarily go to the mine in person now.

Li Du could only turn his help-seeking eyes to Mr. Elson, who shrugged and showed him an incomprehensible expression, indicating that he could not help.

Steve saw the little movements of the two, and he smiled happily: "Li, do you still remember my online name? Steel Steve, I have a steely determination."

Li Du said helplessly: "I respect your determination, but if an accident occurs, I will say the unpleasant words first. If an accident occurs, I will not be responsible."

Steve said: "Of course, I know what you are worried about, and I can only tell you that my situation is much better than you think."

Elson also nodded and said, "Steve's heart problems are well protected. The last time the incident was an accident. As long as he pays attention to it, there will be no problem."

After he finished speaking, Steve continued to add, "Why don't we go to the gym after dinner, I'll show you that at least I have the body I need to be a miner."

This is very necessary. Li Du really wants to confirm this. He doesn't want to see Steve relapse in a heart attack due to fatigue one day.

Dinner is a rare dish in Sydney. Chinese hot pot. To put it clearly, it is the old copper pot beef and mutton in the capital.

Four Seasons Hotel has a series of high-end private rooms, bringing together food styles from all over the world, among which Chinese cuisine is naturally indispensable.

Their room is not big, with Chinese classical cloud pattern wallpaper on the walls, cabinets are erected in the north and south directions, with Ming and Qing porcelain, pen, ink, paper and ink, and landscape paintings are hung on the walls in the east and west directions.

In the center of the room is a large round table with thick table legs, which is brown and red in color and has a luster, like an old mahogany table.

There is a traditional copper hotpot on the table, with a chimney standing in the middle of the pot, and there is red charcoal inside.

The waiter brought a plate of beef, mutton and vegetables. When the broth was stewed, he added wolfberry, red dates and the bottom of the pot to it, indicating that it was ready to eat.

This copper hot pot is very particular. Li Du paid attention to it. The outer wall of the copper pot is made of cloisonné texture, with peony flowers carved on it, which is very red and purple, and is extremely festive.

There is beer standing on a position on the table, with beer plus hot pot, and the authentic taste of Chinese capital cuisine.

What’s more authentic is that the pot is rinsed with oxtails, there are all kinds of beef and mutton on the table, pink mutton on the brain, crimson-red fat beef, tan tripe, brown duck blood, etc.

Looking at the table of dishes, Li Du smiled and said, "Since I left China, I rarely have such authentic hot pot. Thank you for your hospitality."

Steve raised his glass and said, "I can't take credit. This is Uncle Elson's masterpiece. Let's give him a toast."

Elson nodded and smiled in a low-key manner, and accompanied the few people to have a glass of beer.

The hot pot started to boil. Li Du picked up thin slices of meat and rinsed it in the pot, then put it in Sophie's small plate and whispered: "Don't match any seasonings, eat the umami flavor of the meat first."

Australia produces the world's top beef and mutton. Everyone knows that Japanese Wagyu beef is famous. In fact, Australia also has Wagyu beef, and the meat quality is not inferior to Japanese Wagyu beef, but its reputation is slightly inferior.

Of course, the beef on this table is all from Wagyu beef, and the mutton is also a fine product carefully raised by high-end ranches.

The beef and mutton are tender and fragrant, and the sauce made by sesame paste and leek sauce make Li Du feel refreshed.

Because they had to go to the gym later, they didn't drink much. But at first everyone clinked glasses and drank some, and then focused on eating meat.

The broth in the pot gradually evaporated, and the waiter brought the kettle to add the soup.

He poured some soup on the chimney, and with the sound of "hiss", the water vapor simmered, making the meal look more authentic.

After eating for 80% full, they went to the gym.

The hotel gym is also a lounge where they can have fun after meals.

After walking out of the private room, Li Du saw Bradley again. This guy was patient and waited outside. Li Du could guess that he must be waiting for his party.

In this way, he became more interested in Steve's identity. Could it be a prince? Bradley was a little too concerned?

Bradley followed them into the lounge, silently following them, always following behind, looking a little slutty.

Li Du looked at him several times with dissatisfaction. He pretended not to notice and took his cheek to the extreme.

Ah Miao and the others also tilted their heads to look at Bradley, and the fat man also had a dissatisfied expression on his face.

Seeing them put on sportswear, Bradley knew what the group planned and asked the cabinet to prepare for sportswear.

Unfortunately, there were quite a lot of people exercising after dinner, and Elson reminded the administrator that there were no empty cabinets in the changing room.

Bradley gritted his teeth, found a random place to put down his clothes, and changed into his sportswear.
