Mysterious treasure chest

Chapter 473
After getting up the next morning, Yang Hao went to the balcony to take a closer look, only to realize that what Pavtlov said was true. The area of ​​this small city is actually not small, but it is indeed depressed enough.

This river bay area is already relatively close to the city center, but Yang Hao looked around and found that there are almost no new buildings here, all old houses with mottled walls.

And the twelve-story old building owned by Pavtrov is actually one of the tallest buildings here.

Yang Hao sighed, and said to himself that the old men are really suffering, and their life is not as good as that of ordinary farmers in our country.

When Pavtlov invited him to eat at the best restaurant in the city at noon, Yang Hao confirmed once again that the standard of living in this small city was far worse than that of Qingjiang County.

According to Bavtlov, there is not even a centralized heating system in the city. Except for a few areas with district heating systems, most civilians still have to rely on primitive means such as fireplaces for heating. There are many people who died of alcohol poisoning.

However, Pavtlov is also one of the big bosses here, and his standard of living is of course much higher than that of ordinary people. At least when Yang Hao sat in this splendid high-end restaurant, he couldn't help but sigh that no matter how poor the place is, there are local tyrants. .

Pavtlov warmly introduced: "Mr. Yuri, this restaurant is the best in the city. Although it certainly won't catch your eye, the caviar here is still very good. You must try it later. .”

Yang Hao looked around, and found that the place looked resplendent, but in fact the area was not too big. If compared with those high-end restaurants he had been to in Donghai, this place could only be said to be small.

It can be seen that there are only a handful of customers who have the strength to come here to spend on weekdays. It is already lunchtime at noon, but in the restaurant besides my own table, there is only one table on the inside with three customers. It's so empty.

Yang Hao suddenly felt that this small city was pretty good, it was backward enough, it didn't have any powerful forces, and it was close enough to the border, so it was convenient for him to communicate with the country.

Moreover, the fighting nation does not necessarily have anything else, but it definitely has plenty of weapons and equipment. Bavtlov has a small-scale arms trading channel in his hands. In addition, Lao Maozi's heavy industry foundation is also very strong. Many mechanical components can be found here.

Yang Hao thought to himself, and decided to find an opportunity to discuss with Alice, or just build a secret base here, and let Alice tinker with her weapon system and robot factory here, so as not to have to look far away.

When he came out this time, he planned to help Alice find a suitable place to set up a secret base, apart from dealing with the gang of old men in St. Petersburg and going to London to help protect the Heavenly Sect to steal treasures.

The original preferred location was a small seaside town on the easternmost side of Siberia, which is close to the Bering Strait and very close to Alaska, the gambling city in the United States, so it is very convenient to travel between the two places.

However, Yang Hao decided to investigate Golorod City on the spur of the moment. If this place is really suitable, then he will build an outpost here first, and send Alice back after the matters in St. Petersburg and London are settled. Here comes the big building.

Just as Yang Hao was thinking, the waiters had already started serving dishes, and Pavtlov was obviously a regular customer here, and the chef and manager of the restaurant came over to say hello.

Pavtlov introduced Yang Hao flatteringly: "This is Mr. Yuri, he is a great big shot, Sharif, you have to show your unique skill today."

Sharif was the chubby chef. He had never seen Pavtlov in such awe. He hurriedly bowed slightly to Yang Hao and said, "Mr. Yuri is here, of course I have to take out some Here is a good dish to entertain, please wait for a while, I will go back."

Yang Hao smiled kindly: "Don't be so polite, I'm not a picky eater, but I have a big appetite, so there is also Rao Sharif, please prepare a few more hard dishes, and please also bring some food for my little pet , it eats meat, just give it a few more steaks, medium rare is fine."

Sharif was dumbfounded when he heard this, and looked at the little black dog lying at Yang Hao's feet, and he couldn't help asking: "Mr. Yuri, your little pet is only so small, it can eat steak Well, would you like me to get him some milk?"

The manager next to him, Popowski, also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we have fresh milk here, so your pets will like it."

Yang Hao chuckled, and was about to speak, but Pavtlov had already spoken first. He coughed a few times, and winked at Sharif and Popowski: "What do you two know? Mr. Yuri's pet is Those ordinary dogs, hurry up and do what Mr. Yuri said, remember, medium-rare steaks, serve a few more."

Sharif and Popolsky looked at each other, thinking that Pavtlov had always been domineering, why did he suddenly become such a dog?

And the two of them were unwilling to offend Pavtlov for such a trivial matter, so Popolsky hurriedly said: "Sharif, hurry up and prepare, and take out your treasured white sturgeon caviar, go quickly."

Sharif smiled wryly: "Okay, I'll get it now."

Pavtlov's eyes lit up: "Hey, Sharif, you are not authentic. Last time I wanted to eat some of your best caviar, but you lied to me that it was out of stock. It's disgusting."

"No, no, no, I didn't lie to you. There was really no stock last time, but I just got a little a few days ago. Popowski can testify for me." After Sharif finished speaking, he seemed to be running away. Turn around and enter the back kitchen.

Popowski smiled apologetically, "Everything Sharif said is true. You must know that there is overfishing now, and the best caviar is not easy to produce."

Bavtlov nodded: "Indeed, when I was young, the top caviar from the Caspian Sea was already priced at gold, but in recent years, this thing can't be bought even if you have money. Even a little bit of caviar has gone up to sky-high prices, it's a veritable 'black gold'."

As he spoke, he turned his head and smiled at Yang Hao: "Mr. Yuri, I've had your fortune today. Being able to eat the top caviar is simply the greatest happiness in life."

Yang Hao didn't have any special expressions, and said in a calm tone: "Then give some to my little pet, it also wants to taste what top-quality caviar is like."
