Chapter 347: Feed Me (3/3)
That's right!
The purpose of her visit to Gu Gu City this time is to find Shangxi and Shangrang.
Yang Chen's guess was spot on, completely accurate.
"OK!" Yang Chen laughed and said, "Now I understand, let's have a midnight snack!"
Yang Chen did indeed bring a midnight snack.
When Sun Yue heard there was going to be a midnight snack, she couldn't help but come over.
Yang Chen opened the backpack he had behind him, and Sun Yue immediately exclaimed.
"Grilled bananas! And BOK-KIA, wow wow wow! There's even kuay teow reua! khao neow moo ping! And grilled fish, pumpkin cream! Wow, Yang Chen, did you sweep through the entire snack street?" Sun Yue exclaimed in excitement.
Yang Chen laughed and said, "I just bought a bit of the famous local specialties for you all."
Yang Chen had previously carried out a mission in Siam, so he was quite familiar with the local cuisine.
"This is amazing!" Sun Yue was ecstatic and grabbed a skewer of grilled bananas and started eating.
The grilled bananas came in a super-sized skewer, after all, this place is rich in fruits, so the quantity is plentiful.
Bok-kia is actually a kind of dessert similar to bird's nest porridge, but it's ice cold, very refreshing to drink, with lots of ice cubes underneath, so it's still very cold.
As for kuay teow reua, it's like a mini version of spicy beef stew or duck blood soup, with pig's blood, rice noodle balls, and such, another delicious treat.
And khao neow moo ping is grilled meat with rice, it tastes good and is very hearty.
This grilled fish might be somewhat unhygienic, but it's also very tasty. The fish belly is stuffed with lemongrass and other herbs, the surface is covered with salt, and after being charcoal-grilled, the meat is tender and delicious, combined with their sauce, the taste is excellent.
Also worth mentioning is sang kaya fug tong, which involves cutting open a pumpkin, scooping out the insides, and pouring in a creamy egg mixture to steam until cooked, resulting in a delicious treat that's a big hit with the ladies.
As Yang Chen took out the snacks, he meticulously introduced them.
Ye Xin, standing aside, watched Yang Chen with bright eyes full of happiness, finding him so knowledgeable and attentive.
This made Sun Yue, standing aside, a bit envious. Although she still felt that Yang Chen didn't deserve Ye Xin, his attentiveness and gentle demeanor when introducing did have a certain allure.
Yang Chen laughed and said, "Actually, when you travel to each country, the most important thing is to experience the culture and customs of that country. For a country, the most important aspect is its people, and for people, food is the most essential. No matter which country it is, this old saying from Flame Country still holds true. So, the best way to understand a country is to observe and experience its food culture and eating habits. Therefore, these snacks best reflect a country's character. In comparison, I prefer drinking alcohol because each country has a different understanding of it, with different brewing methods and techniques, so... even though you guys can't drink, I feel like you should understand it."
Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen gently and nodded repeatedly.
"Try their ice porridge first, it's quite good, similar to chilled bird's nest porridge, give it a try." Yang Chen took the ice porridge out of the ice, opened the lid, and handed it to Ye Xin.
Ye Xin didn't take it, instead acting coy and said, "You feed me."
Originally, Ye Xin was already quite delicate and pretty, and now she wore the demeanor of a little woman, with a coy tone and slightly puckered red lips, causing Yang Chen to gaze in a daze.
He couldn't help leaning forward slightly, lips slightly parted, almost wanting to kiss her.
Ye Xin seemed to notice Yang Chen's strangeness, blushing and shyly leaning back a bit.
Yang Chen suddenly realized, and an awkward feeling washed over him.
Sun Yue sensed the mood between the two and immediately exclaimed, "Are you guys not embarrassed? I'm still here, you know, don't cast loving glances at each other, getting all lovey-dovey, I'm practically feeling like a third wheel already!"
Yang Chen unceremoniously said, "You are a third wheel; haven't you noticed that?"
"No, I haven't!" Sun Yue subconsciously picked up the ice porridge and started drinking, saying, "I haven't finished my midnight snack yet!"
Yang Chen shook his head helplessly, simply choosing to ignore Sun Yue.
He looked at Ye Xin, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and said softly, "Open your mouth."
"Ah..." Ye Xin sweetly opened her mouth.
The sweet-coupled scene almost made Sun Yue shiver all over.
But the two didn't notice at all, feeding each other, one bite at a time.
After a while, Ye Xin patted her stomach and said, "Okay, I'm done, if I keep eating, you'll feed me until I'm chubby."
Yang Chen laughed, "A little chubby is nice, I like you no matter how you are!"
"You're annoying!" Ye Xin said shyly, "Getting chubby would affect my actions."
"That's true!" Yang Chen nodded, laughing, "You guys should rest early, tomorrow morning, I'll have a surprise for you!"
"What surprise?" Sun Yue asked with wide eyes.
"You'll find out tomorrow!"
Yang Chen waved his hand and left, leaving the midnight snacks behind so that the two wouldn't wake up hungry at night with nothing to eat.
After leaving the room, Yang Chen arrived at 507.
Back in the room, a hint of coldness flashed in Yang Chen's hawk-like eyes.
He opened the computer, and after a series of familiar operations, planted a few backup IPs, then opened the webpage to contact Meng Po.
"Have you found the person I asked you to look into?" Yang Chen asked in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry, no." Meng Po said somewhat disappointedly.
Yang Chen frowned.
"However, I did find some video information that should be related to the person you're looking for."
As she spoke, Meng Po sent over some video files.
"This is extracted from the airport surveillance based on the time and information you provided. Check if the person you're looking for is among them," Meng Po said.
Yang Chen opened the video and saw a group of people in uniform and a person wearing traditional Chinese robes walking out.
This didn't seem to be a public airport; it should be an airport at a certain base.
I really don't know how Meng Po managed to get her hands on such classified video footage.
Soon, the person in traditional robes showed his face, and Yang Chen immediately said, "Yes! That's him! He is Shangxi!"
"Then it's correct!" Meng Po nodded, "I have some information about this person, but based on the facial scan, I discovered he once appeared in Jin Chen, but there's only a track of his movements, with no informational records or data."
Yang Chen frowned again, asking, "Did you find Shangrang?"
"No! I couldn't find any information or image data related to the person you described."
Yang Chen nodded slowly, thinking that people like Shangrang and Shangxi were probably secretly cultivated from a young age, so it makes sense that there's no external data on them. It's already quite impressive that Meng Po managed to find information on Shangxi.
"Can you locate Shangxi's position now?" Yang Chen asked.
"That's quite simple, I hacked into the Siam's official website, using my custom search engine, I found a trace of Shangxi in their database, his current location should be here..."
