Free Web NovelChapter 693: Chapter 614: Come Forth, the Budget Crab-Stuffed Orange
The professional group exhibitors are basically targeting foreign military departments, many of them preparing to import equipment.
The dazzling array of high-tech equipment was simply mesmerizing to them.
Among them, two foreign soldiers in green military uniforms, looking very robust, wandered through each exhibition area with envy on their faces repeatedly.
Second Uncle looked at these foreign soldiers, with tears already welling up in his eyes.
"Back in the day, General Liu looked at other people’s aircraft carriers just like this, and we looked at their Eagle and Soviet style weaponry in the same way. Finally, others are looking at our equipment like this, damn it’s satisfying!"
As a veteran who has suffered, Second Uncle’s emotions were truly uncontrollable upon seeing these advanced weapons.
Mr. Zhuo quickly comforted him, "Brother, our hard times are over. The country’s development is getting better and better, weapons will only become more advanced, and we should be happy about it."
Second Uncle wiped his eyes vigorously, "Happy, happy, let’s see who dares to bully us in the future. With this equipment playing firepower coverage, we can directly create an artificial lake for them."
Wang Fan himself doesn’t even count as a fake military enthusiast; he hasn’t heard of all kinds of equipment models. But Mr. Zhuo and Second Uncle are true fanatics, and they didn’t want to take Wang Fan along, they completely ignored him and went off to browse by themselves.
Wang Fan didn’t bother to follow them either, as the purpose of this trip was to let them enjoy themselves.
"Second Uncle, Uncle Zhuo, you guys go ahead and browse, I’ll go to my stall to prepare. Come find me if you’re hungry."
"Got it, got it, you hurry up now, having you stand here is disrespectful to these pieces of equipment."
Wang Fan was speechless; in front of the equipment, it seemed he as their own dear nephew was redundant.
Second Uncle was currently playing a game simulating carrier-based aircraft landing, the realistic 3D perspective made him thoroughly enjoy it.
After playing a few times, he let Mr. Zhuo take a turn, and when Mr. Zhuo successfully landed, the two even high-fived excitedly, like two young men.
Seeing this scene, Wang Fan felt the trip was worthwhile and didn’t disturb them, leisurely walking toward where his RV was parked.
At noon, he had to hurry and complete his tasks, as there would be performances of fighters and various armored vehicles and unmanned equipment in the afternoon. Although he didn’t understand these, he was still up to watch the spectacle.
He had just left the hall when he saw a group of men dressed in white long robes, with floral head scarves, circling around his RV. Among them stood Liu Feng who had been in contact with him.
Seeing Wang Fan, Liu Feng smiled and greeted him, upon hearing him, Matt Prince and the others stopped.
Liu Feng introduced, "Hello Boss Wang, this is Prince Matt."
Before he could introduce, Prince Matt had already walked up to Wang Fan, beaming, "I know, I know, you’re Boss Wang. I watched your dessert competition from start to finish, I really regret not coming a few days sooner."
Wang Fan didn’t expect this high-status prince to speak Chinese, which certainly made communication much easier.
"Hello, you’re not too late now. Feel free to say what you want to eat, I’ll try my best to arrange it."
Guests come from afar, taking care of them is only right.
Prince Matt said happily, "There’s an old saying in Huaxia: ’Guests follow the host’s convenience.’ Whatever you make, we’ll eat."
Liu Feng laughed, "Just now, along the way Prince Matt kept mentioning you, he’s preparing to study your RV and get one himself."
It was indeed funny, after all, the wealthy are genuinely affluent, and just after more than two hours of the exhibition, orders worth millions of US Dollars have already been signed, and this is far from their limit.
However, Prince Matt’s genuine admiration for Boss Wang is clear; this was the first time he mentioned someone more than his catchphrase ’buy, buy, buy’."
Prince Matt and his entourage did not go to browse the exhibition further, but stayed before Wang Fan’s RV, watching with great interest as Wang Fan opened up his stall from the RV.
Today he was preparing a famed dish passed down for over 800 years, though the method was slightly altered, hence not completely authentic.
The authentic version is just too costly; he could afford it himself but selling is relatively troublesome.
This dish had been served at state banquets before, hence selling it to these attendees from across the globe was quite fitting.
Zhuhai is incredibly rich in resources, and the rock sugar orange is the main ingredient Wang Fan would use today.
Every early November marks the season for rock sugar oranges; the delightful taste of the first batch of fruits is self-evident, Wang Fan believed today this dish would bring a small shock to these foreigners.
The greatest benefit of buying fruits from the origin is indeed buying naturally ripe ones; naturally ripe versus post-picked ripened ones differ drastically in taste and flavor.
The two large baskets of oranges in the RV were all golden in color, round and plump, looking fresh. Furthermore, the navel hole on the oranges was small, meaning the fruit inside was full, with a delicate texture, ample juicy taste, and relatively higher sweetness.
Prince Matt widened his eyes, watching Wang Fan insert toothpicks into each orange, completely unsure what he was planning to do. Mainly, while he had tasted much gourmet food, he hadn’t really seen cooking processes, at most watching top-tier ingredients being sliced open face-to-face.
After inserting four toothpicks into each washed rock sugar orange, Wang Fan used a small knife to draw several zigzag lines on the orange peel.
