Chapter 847 846. Taste of Hometown (55)

Hearing Steve's words, Li Du couldn't help but want to scratch his ears: "What, buddy? You want to dig gems? Do you mean you want to invest in a mine?"

Steve shook his head and said, "No, it's 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 glass away and said, "You want to be a miner? I don't understand, Steve, I hope you can make it clear. What is your purpose?"

After saying this, he added: "I mean, the miners are very tired and have little harvest, how can you have such an idea?"

Steve smiled and said, "I need to exercise. The life of a miner is very exercising, isn't it?"

Li Du said: "Indeed, it is really good for exercising your body, but its work is too heavy, I don't think it may be suitable for you. Moreover, it is also very dangerous. Not long ago, there was a mine collapse in Lightning Ridge."

Steve said: "I will pay attention, take me to have a look, this time to participate in the jewelry salon, I am interested in some rough gemstones."

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

Steve's background and status are very unusual. He is not in good health and has heart disease. Li Du dare not take him to the mine, otherwise he will not be able to take responsibility for something wrong.

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

Li Du continued to persuade him, but he refused to listen. He insisted on getting Li Du's help and wanted to visit Lightning Ridge.

However, he lowered his requirements and just went to have a look. Now he may not go into the mine himself.

Li Du could only look to Mr. Elson for help, and the latter shrugged his shoulders and showed him a helpless expression, expressing that he could not help.

Steve saw the small movements of the two, and he smiled happily: "Li, do you still remember my screen name? Mr. Iron Steve, I have iron-like determination."

Li Du said helplessly: "I respect your determination, but if an accident occurs, I will speak out the ugly words first. Once an accident occurs, I will not be responsible."

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

Elson also nodded and said, "Steve's heart problem has been well protected. What happened last time was an accident. As long as he pays attention, nothing will happen."

After he finished speaking, Steve then added: "Why don't we go to the gym after dinner, let me show you, at least I have the body needed to be a miner."

This is very necessary, Li Du really wanted to be sure of this, he didn't want to see Steve suffer from a heart attack due to fatigue one day.

Dinner is a rare dish in Sydney, Chinese hot pot, to be clear, it is the old copper pot of the capital to boil beef and mutton.

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

Their room is not big, the walls are covered with classical Chinese cloud pattern wallpapers, cabinets are erected in the north-south direction, and there are Ming and Qing porcelains, pens, ink, paper and inkstones on them, and landscape paintings are hung on the east-west walls.

In the center of the room is a large round table with thick legs, brown red and shiny, like an old mahogany table.

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

The waiter brought up plates of beef, mutton and vegetables. When the broth was ready, he added goji berries, red dates and the bottom of the pot to indicate that it was ready to eat.

This copper hot pot is very elegant, Li Du noticed it, the outer wall of the copper pot is made of cloisonné, with peony flowers carved on it, very red and purple, very festive.

There is beer standing on a place on the table, so beer and hot pot, the authentic taste of Chinese capital cuisine.

What's more authentic is that there are oxtails in the pot, and there are various kinds of beef and mutton on the table, such as pink mutton with upper brain, dark red upper brain fat beef, brown tripe, brown red duck blood, and so on.

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

Steve raised his glass and said, "I can't take the credit, this is Uncle Elson's masterpiece, let's toast him."

Elson nodded and smiled low-key, and drank a glass of beer with several people.

The hot pot began to boil. Li Du picked up thin slices of meat and rinsed them in the pot, then put them on Sophie's small plate and said in a low voice, "Don't match any seasonings, eat the freshness of the meat first."

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

Naturally, the beef on this table comes from Wagyu beef, and the mutton is also a fine product carefully raised in high-end pastures.

The beef and mutton are tender and fragrant, and with the sauce made of sesame sauce and chive flower sauce, Li Du eats it heartily.

Because they had to go to the gym later, they didn't drink much, but at first everyone clinked glasses with each other and drank a little, and then they concentrated on eating meat.

The broth in the pot gradually evaporated, and the waiter came up with the kettle to add soup.

He deliberately poured some soup on the chimney, and with the sound of 'hissing', the water steamed up, making the meal look more authentic.

After eating 80% full, they headed to the gym.

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

After walking out of the private room, Li Du saw Bradley again. This buddy 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 that this is a prince? Bradley is a bit too focused, isn't he?

Bradley followed them into the lounge, silently, always following behind, looking a bit wretched.

Li Du looked at him dissatisfied a few times, but he pretended not to notice, showing his thick skin to the extreme.

Meow and the others also tilted their heads to look at Bradley, with the same dissatisfied expression on Xiaopang's face.

Seeing them change into sportswear, Bradley knew the group's plan, and went to the cabinet to prepare to change into sportswear.

Unfortunately, there were quite a lot of people exercising after the meal, and Elson told 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 just changed into sports clothes in a daze.

Everyone in the room looked at him in amazement, and he also felt that it was a bit embarrassing to do so, so he pretended to be calm and said to the administrator: "Take care of my clothes, I just lost my clothes in the hotel two days ago, God knows, I can I don’t want to go through something like this again.”
