Chapter 782: 782

As Yuan Zhou had his own congee for lunch, he was now feeling much better . The stomach that ache slightly did not feel as bad anymore . Therefore, he did not have to shut his eyes and rest in the car . Rather, he was enjoying the scenery outside .

Xiao Xing was still turning his head to look at Yuan Zhou occasionally . He was not planning to give up, intending to convince Yuan Zhou .

“Mr . Yuan, Master Chef Yuan, look, you are so good at cooking . Why do you need to bother with the unauthentic Beijing Roasted Duck?” Xiao Xing said .

“It’s still a good idea to give Thailand’s Beijing Roasted Duck a try,” Yuan Zhou said .

“But your stomach is feeling unwell, right? The roasted duck would be too greasy for the current you . You haven’t eaten any meat during lunch,” Xiao Xing recalled that Yuan Zhou had not eaten any of the Sour and Spicy Chicken Shreds during lunch .

“Um . That was a dish I prepared just for you,” Yuan Zhou said as he tossed Xiao Xing a glance .

“Cough, cough . That is spicy food . A sick person should not eat too much of it anyway . That’s what my girlfriend used to say,” Xiao Xing said, feeling somewhat awkward .

“Um,” Yuan Zhou nodded and did not say anything else .

“So, should we eat the roasted duck next time?” Xiao Xing probed cautiously, his face filled with hope .

“I’m flying back tomorrow,” Yuan Zhou replied .

“Ah? It has been five days already? So fast?” Xiao Xing was in disbelief .

“Yes,” Yuan Zhou nodded, joy apparent on his face .

Yuan Zhou was naturally happy that he could return home . He suddenly recalled the man and woman he encountered when eating the other day .

“I wonder if they have already returned,” Yuan Zhou wondered .

“Sigh,” Xiao Xing sighed with a look of defeat on his face . He then focused on driving .

Because of the distance, they arrived at around 3:40 pm, just in time for the train .

“Here, this is the place . They will lower that railing later to block traffic as the train is coming soon . Look, they are starting to clear their stuff,” Xiao Xing introduced .

“Um,” Yuan Zhou observed seriously .

This was a street that wasn’t exactly spacious . As the width of a railway was fixed and the two sides of the railway were small stores, many of the stalls had already encroached upon the railway .

As the train was going to pass by soon, everyone started to put their stuff away in a calm and unhurried manner . They weren’t rushing but moved in an agile manner .

Most of the vendors only needed to pull their stalls backward . As for the stores, their doors remained open while the people stood in the stores waiting for the train to pass .

Sharp at four, the train slowly approached .

A humming sound rang in the air .

“The train is here . You can get a clear look at it now,” Xiao Xing said .

“Yeah, I see it,” Yuan Zhou nodded .

This train was unlike the streamlined trains Yuan Zhou was used to in China . When the train passed, the air pressure and vibration were sufficient to shake the stairs there and leave a humming sound in a person’s ears .

The train moved slowly, looking identical to the green trains that used to run on the Chinese railway system .

“It’s not fast,” Yuan Zhou said .

“Yeah, there’s nothing special about its speed,” Xiao Xing nodded .

“Do you want to go in and take a stroll?” Xiao Xing asked when he saw the railing being lifted .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

When Xiao Xing saw that Yuan Zhou was nodding, he parked his car at a spacious spot and brought Yuan Zhou to the Railway Market .

Not much stuff was being sold here . After trying some local fruits, Yuan Zhou stopped buying anything .

Xiao Xing who was hoping that Yuan Zhou would buy some food ingredients was extremely disappointed . However, he kept his mouth shut .

No matter what, Xiao Xing was extremely professional in his job .

“Let’s go,” Yuan Zhou stopped when they reached the groceries section of the market .

“Ok . Let’s go to Chinatown now,” Xiao Xing said .

“Um, let’s go,” Yuan Zhou nodded .

“Let’s head off,” Xiao Xing started leading the way out of the Railway Market .

“The sunshine is really strong,” Yuan Zhou said as he raised his head .

“In truth, it’s rainy season in Thailand currently . The current temperature is quite low compared to the normal temperature,” Xiao Xing said with a smile .

“I don’t mind the temperature, but the sunshine is too strong,” Yuan Zhou said .

“True, the sunshine is quite strong in Thailand,” Xiao Xing agreed with a nod .

They chatted as they headed to the car . Then, they set off to Chinatown .

“Chinatown is a must-go location whenever I went abroad,” Yuan Zhou was looking forward to the Chinatown .

When he was young, he loved watching movies . Chinatown was a term that he was familiar with through the movies, yet at the same time, this term seemed so unfamiliar as well . Therefore, it was understandable that Yuan Zhou was looking forward to seeing a real-life Chinatown .

While on their way to Chinatown, there was some congestion . Therefore, it was already 6:30 pm by the time they reached . It was already dinner time .

“Welcome to the Chinatown,” Xiao Xing said after he took a turn into a wide street .

“It’s really crowded here,” Yuan Zhou said as he looked at the pedestrians .

“It’s busy here this time of the day,” Xiao Xing nodded .

“Stop the car outside . I doubt you can get your car in there,” Yuan Zhou suggested .

“Sure . I’ll turn around,” Xiao Xing nodded and turned the car around before parking it somewhere .

“Let’s go,” Xiao Xing said after parking the car .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

As the car was parked at the intersection into the street, they were only a turn away from Chinatown after getting off the car .

The Chinese characters that filled the boards of Chinatown gave Yuan Zhou a pleasant feeling . These were all kinds of traditional Chinese characters, giving Yuan Zhou a feeling of China in the eighties .

“The buildings look traditional,” Yuan Zhou said as he studied his surroundings .

“Yeah . Chinatown in Thailand used to be a place of congregation for the Chinese people of Thailand once upon a time . I think most of the Chinese in Thailand originated from Chaoshan,” Xiao Xing introduced .

Yuan Zhou focused his attention on the explanation .

“The restaurant we are going to is located at the intersection of the street . It’s not too far away . Do you want to take a stroll around or do you want to go straight into the restaurant?” Xiao Xing asked .

“Let’s stroll around,” Yuan Zhou said, somewhat astonished when he saw the numerous jewelry stores along the street .

“Ok,” Xiao Xing nodded .

“There are so many jewelry stores here,” Yuan Zhou remarked .

There were indeed a lot of jewelry stores around . Nearly one out of five stores would be a jewelry store . This was quite shocking .

“I think a lot of people come here for the express purpose of buying gold,” Xiao Xing said .

“I can see that,” Yuan Zhou said when he saw an entire tour group entering a jewelry store .

“The snacks here are quite good as well . Do you want to give them a try,” Xiao Xing asked as he pointed at a Mango with Glutinous Rice stall .

“Sure,” Yuan Zhou nodded and bought two sets of the snack .

“Thank you,” Xiao Xing said as he took one of them .

“You’re welcome,” Yuan Zhou said and started eating .

Yuan Zhou strolled while eating, meticulously tasting the food as usual .

“Master Chef Yuan is so serious,” Xiao Xing lamented .
