Food King [Interstellar]

The roller coaster races through the clouds, speeding through the air, and soon reaches the ground.It is said that the ground is not suitable, it is a viaduct site.Jiang Tang untied the safety device on his body, stepped out of the speeding car, and looked back at the sky track extending upwards. He thought that he never thought that humans would build the track into the sky one day. Although it is a pioneering work, wouldn't it hinder traffic? ?The current means of transportation are all flying cars and spaceships flying around in the air.

Jiang Tang was still looking back at the track, Marshmallow was already very excited, it screamed and wanted to get out of the cage.Jiang Tang's attention was drawn back by Marshmallow, he lowered his head and asked, "What's your name?"

"Marshmallow can't wait to come out, look how fun it is outside," Rosen said.

Jiang Tang just looked up and was shocked when he saw it. He thought that the trees on the planet Angus were already tall enough, but he didn't expect that they were nothing compared to Aurora's trees.Aurora's trees are indescribably thick, with a diameter of ten meters in diameter and five or six meters in diameter. These trees grow straight without many branches, and the crowns on the top are not too dense. You can see the blue sky and white clouds .What is even more amazing is that the locals built their houses on these trees, instead of building houses on the trees, they directly hollowed out the tree trunks to make houses.

When Jiang Tang looked at the open doors and windows on the tree trunks, he was so surprised that he could stuff an egg into his mouth. Luo Xun raised his hand to support his chin, and closed his mouth: "Be careful, don't dislocate it!" .”

Jiang Tang looked left and right, and he didn't know how to describe the shock in his heart. It took him a long time to find his own voice: "The trees here are really big!"

Except for him, everyone else turned a blind eye to these things, and even Li Ang was extremely calm.Jiang Tang asked Li Ang: "Li Ang, have you been here?"

Li Ang said "Yes", "Come here."

Jiang Tang was a little depressed, feeling that among all these people, he was the only country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

Everyone stopped the speed taxi one after another. Luo Xun picked up their luggage with one hand and grabbed his wrist with the other, leading him to take a taxi.Jiang Tang was dragged into the car, his eyes were still glued to the tree houses with different shapes and he couldn't take them back.Marshmallow waited for a long time, but still failed to be free, and felt a little depressed. Toby tried to comfort it, but the kindness was not rewarded. Marshmallow pushed him into the corner of the cage. Toby was frightened and turned his limbs to the sky I lay down for a long time and didn't come back to my senses.

When Jiang Tang lowered his head, he happened to see Marshmallow bullying Toby, so he took out Marshmallow and gave it a brain-breaker: "Marshmallow, don't bully Toby!"

Marshmallow broke away from Jiang Tang's hand, and crawled into Luo Xun's arms for comfort.Jiang Tang reached out to touch Toby and comforted it. Finally, Toby slowly turned over, rubbed Jiang Tang's fingers, and curled up into a ball to reflect on himself.Jiang Tang felt that Toby must be a m. He was bullied for no reason, and he had to reflect on what he did wrong.

The speeding car moved nimbly through the tall treehouse forest, Jiang Tang looked at everything in front of him, and was still excited: "What kind of tree is this, how can it grow so thick?"

The speed driver is a very talkative person. Before Luo Xun and Li Ang spoke, he took over the topic: "Sir, this is the first time you have come to our Aurora, right? These trees are the sacred trees of Aurora, called giant trees. Oak, this kind of tree is tens of thousands of years old, grows slowly, and has hard wood, which is the best material for building tree houses."

Jiang Tang asked: "How many years does it take for a tree to grow enough to build a house?"

"It will take at least 1000 years," said the driver.

Jiang Tang was speechless. All the houses here are old antiques. He was a little curious: "Won't the trees die after being hollowed out like this?"

The driver said with a smile: "The tree mainly depends on the bark to maintain its life. As long as the bark is not cut off in the middle, the tree will not lose its vitality."

"Then if the tree grows too high and is hollowed out in the middle, it will be broken when it is blown by strong wind?" Jiang Tang said.

The driver laughed as if he had heard some joke: "It's not that exaggerated. I've never heard of a giant oak tree being blown down by wind. A giant oak tree can only grow up to 40 meters at most, and it won't grow any taller. It only grows horizontally, otherwise how could it grow so thick."

When Jiang Tang heard this, he thought it was reasonable: "How big is the thickest tree here?"

The driver said: "Here, here we are. The giant oak tree is 5 years old, and the circumference of the trunk is more than 200 meters."

Jiang Tang looked up, and the speeding car had arrived in front of a house. This house had gray walls, bright glass doors, and Roman-style column decorations. It seemed to be the only masonry building in this area. However, upon closer inspection, it was actually a tree house. , but the shape has been treated like a masonry building, and its diameter is frighteningly large, exceeding 50 meters.

The driver stopped the car: "This is our oldest giant oak tree king in Aurora, and it is also the largest hotel here."

Jiang Tang noticed the four big characters "Elf Kingdom" written on the signboard, which seemed to be the name of the hotel.Luo Xun pushed open the car door and went down first: "Come on down, we'll stay here tonight." Marshmallow quickly climbed onto Luo Xun's shoulders and began to look around, just like its owner, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

Jiang Tang came down in the cage containing Toby and the purple potato: "We live here?" He looked up at the height of the hotel, if he was wearing a hat, it would definitely fall off.The trunk is straight and tall, with many windows opened from bottom to top, it seems that there are many layers.

Daniel and Wendi's flying car also arrived. Bruce came with them, but he didn't see anyone else. Jiang Tang asked, "Where are the others?"

Rosen said: "Everyone split up on their own, and many of them had friends here."

Jiang Tangxin said, making it sound like everyone is here to travel, obviously they are all wanted criminals by the government, okay, so you are not afraid of accidents?But seeing Luo Xun's calm expression, he had nothing to worry about.Luo Xun entered the kingdom of elves, and took out a card to the front desk clerk, who swiped the card and said, "Hello, the room on the top floor is ready for you, here is the room card." Handed over a room card .

Jiang Tang didn't pay attention to what the other party said to Luo Xun, but looked up at the interior structure of the hall. Except for a round column in the center of the hall, the other structures were no different from ordinary buildings, and the decoration was magnificent. , Magnificent, I don't know how much it costs to stay here for one night.Jiang Tang turned his head to ask Luo Xun, but Luo Xun put his hand on his shoulder: "Okay, let's go."

Jiang Tang was pushed into the elevator by Luo Xun, he turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it cheap to stay here for one night?"

Luo Xun smiled faintly: "No money."

Jiang Tang opened his eyes wide: "No money, is it real or fake? Did your friend open it?"

Rosen smiled, but didn't speak.

The elevator went straight to the 9th floor on the top floor, and when he entered the room, Jiang Tang found that it was a luxurious suite with a spacious living room in the middle and three bedrooms.Luo Xun said: "Jiang Tang and I live in one room, Danny and Wendi share one, and Bruce and Li Ang share one." He pushed open the door of the master bedroom and carried his and Jiang Tang's luggage inside.

When Jiang Tang entered the room, he couldn't wait to look at it. The roof and floor were all log-colored, but they were painted with transparent anti-corrosion and moisture-proof paint. Living in the house is definitely not boring, and it can be counted for a long time just by counting the growth rings.He ran to the window to look at the surrounding environment. The window was cut directly on the bark, and it was also painted with anti-corrosion paint, and the grain of the wood could still be seen.This is the highest point in the whole city, with the best view. When you open the window, you can see half of the forest city. All the trees are crowded with trees of different heights, which is not a style.

Luo Xun came out of the bedroom: "Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. Let's go out for dinner."

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows: "Where are we going to eat? Is there a restaurant in the hotel?" As soon as he finished speaking, a ball of white flashed in front of his eyes. It was cotton candy that jumped onto the window sill, and soon, it crawled up the window .Li Ang released both Toby and Purple Potato, and they followed in Marshmallow's footsteps.Living in a tree, isn't it the land of cotton candy?

Rosen said: "The hotel doesn't have a restaurant, it only offers molecular meals. Let's go to Richard's restaurant for dinner."

Jiang Tang laughed: "Isn't the hotel and the restaurant matched? Since you can't serve food and drink, why call it a hotel? I find that you are so extravagant. It's really good to live in such an expensive hotel and eat in such an expensive restaurant." What? Don’t save money to fund activities?”

"Someone is treating guests to dinner, why don't you go?" Luo Xun pinched the back of his neck, pushed him into the room, and said, "This house is actually free, this hotel is our own property."

Jiang Tang was even more shocked: "Are you the owner of this hotel?"

Rosen said: "It doesn't count, there is a special person in charge of management, and Bruce is in charge of connecting with them."

Jiang Tang took out his clothes and took a shower. When he came out, he found several big men squatting on the floor looking at something. Jiang Tang walked over: "What are you looking at?"

Daniel said: "Marshmallow picked a few acorns, and I'm studying whether I can eat them." As a biologist, Daniel has completely degenerated. The first criterion for him is whether he can eat anything, and the second is whether he can eat it. are other properties of creatures.

Jiang Tang walked over: "I picked the marshmallow? It must be edible, and it doesn't even like it if it can't be eaten." Just as he was talking, the marshmallow jumped in from the window, holding a fruit the size of a ping-pong ball in his front paws , Jiang Tang stretched out his hand to it, it hesitated, and gave it to Jiang Tang, although the owner is strict with it, only he can make the most delicious food.

Jiang Tang took the acorn and squeezed it. It has a very hard shell, and then handed it back to the marshmallow: "Try it open."

Marshmallow pushed it back to him, and stared at him with round eyes. Jiang Tang knew that it probably couldn't be opened, so he found an adjustable stone fruit clip from his luggage. he did.He put the acorn in the middle of the clip and pressed it hard. His hands hurt, but he couldn't get it open. Seeing this, Li Ang wanted to help: "I'll do it." But Luo Xun had already taken it silently, and squeezed it hard. , only heard a "click", the shell finally cracked a crack, and then squeezed again, and then opened.

When Marshmallow saw the husk split open, she couldn't wait to grab it, broke the husk with her forepaws, and bit the flesh inside with one bite.Jiang Tang reached out and flicked it: "Hey, you bastard, you ate it without showing us what it was."

Daniel said: "It looks delicious, Brother Xun, come and open these, and I'll test what the ingredients are."

Jiang Tang said: "Looking at how delicious the cotton candy is, it probably tastes good."

Wen Di took the clip from Luo Xun, and clipped the acorns for Daniel. The marshmallow still wanted to eat it, but it couldn't grab Daniel. Under Daniel's coercion, it had to turn around and pick the fruit again.Jiang Tang took the acorn from Daniel's hand. The shell was thick, the texture was hard, and the flesh inside was round. He put it in his nose and smelled it. There was a very pleasant fragrance, and he was about to put it into his mouth to taste it. , was snatched back by Daniel's hand: "This is mine!"

Jiang Tang said: "I just tasted it, it was picked by marshmallows."

"These are mine. I'll study its ingredients first, and you'll go with the marshmallow later." Daniel hurriedly put the acorn into his pocket.

Seeing them scrambling for food like a child, Luo Xun shook his head with a helpless smile: "Okay, let's go, let's go."

Jiang Tang was dragged out by Luo Xun. While waiting for the elevator, Jiang Tang asked, "Why are it just the two of us, and they won't eat?"

"They'll figure it out on their own," Rosen said. "The host invited two people."

"Who is treating you?" Jiang Tang asked.

"Howard Short," said Rosen.

Jiang Tang was taken aback: "Why is he here?"

Rosen said, "He came over for some errands, and he came with Short."

"Short is here too? Ah, I forgot to bring Toby with me." Jiang Tang thought of Toby.

"What are you doing with Toby? Give it back to Short? I think Toby is having a good time with the marshmallows now, so let's keep them company." Rosen said.

Jiang Tang scratched his head: "What does Howard Short want us for?"

Rosen said, "He hasn't seen you, and wants to see you."

Jiang Tang: "..." That's the reason.

Luo Xun pushed him into the elevator: "You are not happy to be invited to dinner?"

Jiang Tang was quite happy at the thought of not having to eat the molecular meal.

Richard's restaurant is also built in a tree house, with five floors above and below.Luo Xun and Jiang Tang went to the box on the fifth floor. When they entered the door, they were all acquaintances. Adam Short, Oshannon, and Bill were all there, and there was also a middle-aged man with gray temples. Jiang Tang communicated with him through video, Know it's Howard Short.

Luo Xun looked at the acquaintances in the room and raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect Mr. Ou to be here."

Ou Shangnon came over and gave Jiang Tang a hug: "I just happened to be here to see a friend, and I got the news from Adam that you are also coming, so I will wait for you here."

Adam Short rushed over and hugged Jiang Tang enthusiastically: "Dear Jiang Tang, I miss your cooking so much. Uncle, this is Jiang Tang. I'm sure you've never tasted his cooking."

Howard Short held out his hand to Jiang Tang: "We finally meet, hello!"

Jiang Tang smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Mr. Short, nice to meet you!"

Adam Short said: "It's all here, so sit down. Bill, let the waiter serve."

"I heard that Jiang Tang's dishes are very good. I wonder if there is a chance to eat your dishes." Howard Short said.

Adam Short said: "If you want to eat it, you can ask Jiang Tang to show it off now."

Jiang Tang quickly waved his hand: "I'm not very good at Western food. We have everything on board. Mr. Short can come on board and try it."

Ou Shangnong said: "It's troublesome to come and go at the security check. How about this? I'll invite everyone to Tiangong for dinner tomorrow. I know the boss of Tiangong very well. Jiang Tang can show his hand there at that time. What do you think?" "

Everyone said it was a good idea.

Jiang Tang shook his head like a rattle: "How can that be done, the Taiban is out to get an axe." When he saw the Ping family detour, he didn't even have time, so he was willing to hurry up and go to their shop to make trouble.

Ou Shannon smiled and said: "What kind of class is playing tricks, your craftsmanship is a few blocks away from theirs. I told my friend that her chef's skills are getting worse and worse. She still doesn't admit it. You can show her your skills tomorrow. See, convince her."

Luo Xun said suddenly: "I think I can try it."

Adam Short is afraid that the world will not be chaotic: "Go, go, go and smash the field, I like it best."
