Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 297 Travel
San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf is considered a famous local tourist attraction, and the features of the scenic spot are naturally those stalls selling seafood.

But in addition to these seafood, the whole area is also full of a series of service facilities such as museums, shops, book galleries, antique shops, restaurants, shopping centers and souvenir shops.

"We were very lucky." After finding the parking lot and parking the car, Liang En said while leading everyone to the business district. "Now is the season for eating seafood, especially the local specialty Dankinis sea crab is also on the market."

Danjinnis sea crabs are also known as Dungeness crabs in Chinese, and they are considered a relatively high-end ingredient. Especially in this season, their meat is relatively plump, so they are naturally delicious.

"You're right, so let's just have lunch here after shopping here, and then go shopping in the south in the afternoon." Pierce nodded in agreement after searching on his phone.

Due to hobbies, they naturally focused on those book galleries and antique shops, but unfortunately they didn't find anything that could attract their attention.

I have to say that the routines in tourist areas all over the world are similar. The things sold in these antique shops are either overpriced, or they are simply modern handicrafts. Whoever buys them will be wronged.

Of course, if finding real antiques isn't your goal, there's plenty of good stuff to buy at this place, like fridge magnets with local attractions on them, key rings, beer bottles, screwdrivers or cultural shirts.

But after taking these things in your hands and checking them carefully, you will find that most of these things have the label made in China written on them.

But from another point of view, this does not mean that these things are not worth selling, because these things are custom-made products in various tourist areas in San Francisco, and they are really not available in other places.

Since everyone gained a lot from this trip to the United States, everyone bought a lot of these small gifts in those gift shops for their own collection and for relatives and friends.

When everyone was shopping around, it was noon, so they each walked towards the seafood stall with the trophies they got while shopping just now.

Just like the seafood stalls in many coastal cities, the stalls in this place are full of live seafood, and customers will cook and eat the seafood directly after they choose.

Except for Joan of Arc, the other three people grew up by the sea, so they naturally ruled out cooking methods such as stewing with cream, frying or salt and pepper, but chose the original boiled or steamed.

"This food is really delicious. I feel that the seafood I ate in New York before was not as good as this." After the seafood was served on the table, Jeanne commented with satisfaction after eating some.

"You're right, because the environment here is much better than that in New York, so the seafood is naturally better." Liang En explained seriously. "The taste of many ingredients is closely related to their growth environment."

"Yeah, just like the emperor's tribute in the past, there are specific regulations on what and where. This is probably because the same food has differences in different places." Fan Meng added at the side at this time.

"That's right, I remember that the wines in my hometown are like this. The price difference of the same wine produced in different places can even be as much as ten times, but in fact there is not much difference in taste." Being reminded by everyone, Joan laughed nodded.

"By the way, where should we go later?" Just as he was about to finish eating, Fan Meng suddenly put down his fork and looked at his phone and asked, "Jiuquhua Street, San Francisco Art Museum or Stanford University—"

"Go to Jiuquhua Street first. The scenic spot is very small. We can finish it in ten minutes. The same is true for the San Francisco Art Palace. If you don't watch the performance, it will take less than half an hour." Liang En made quick arrangements arrive.

"We had lunch a little early today, so after reading all these two points, we just had time to go to Silicon Valley. Although our profession seems to be incompatible with the IT elites in Silicon Valley, this IT industry Always look at the Holy Land."

As Jiuquhua Street and the San Francisco Palace of Arts are two popular attractions on the Internet, it is natural that they can be ranked so high with their unique beauty.

But for people like Liang En who don't have much artistic talent, they really don't see much profound things except that these places are really beautiful.

So after choosing a few places that I thought were good to take pictures and check in, the four of them drove all the way south towards the direction of Silicon Valley.

Unlike the old town of San Francisco that I passed through before, the buildings in Silicon Valley are obviously much more modernized. At the same time, both the cleanliness and the various public facilities on the roadside look much better than the old town I passed by before.

Even when they drove into the Silicon Valley area, they actually encountered a police inspection, which was in the same shape as those outlaws running around in the old city of San Francisco, but rarely saw the police except near the main road. an obvious contrast.

Fortunately, Liang En and the others were either Asian or white, and they had all their documents with them, so the policemen just asked them why they wanted to drive a moving car and let them leave.

"If our skin color was darker, there would be half the probability that we would get shot, and the other half would be a two-day trip to the police station." Fan Meng complained after driving the car away.

"This is America, or according to their president's words, this is life." Regarding the situation in the United States, Liang En felt that this sentence was the most appropriate to put here.

As one of the few IT holy places in the world, there are too many familiar things in this place, such as Google, Apple, Facebook and a series of familiar companies.

But because everyone is very interested in these things, they just got out of the car and took a few photos at the entrances of those iconic buildings before leaving.

In fact, most of these enterprises allow visitors to enter, but the whole process is a bit complicated, so Liang En and the others have no plan to visit in depth.

However, when they drove from the place where these companies were concentrated to the residential area, they suddenly saw a person standing on the side of the road waving and shouting at them. Seeing this, Fan Meng, who was driving, turned the steering wheel and pulled over.

"Sir, what can you do?" After shaking down the glass, Fan Meng looked at the young man standing outside the two-storey single-family house and asked.

"You are from the moving company, can you help me clean up those computers and tools in the garage?" the South Asian man said in an accented English.

"Can those computers be used?" Fan Meng wanted to refuse directly, but Liang En held him down and asked. "We're willing to clean up that stuff if it works."

"Of course, of course it works." The South Asian man nodded and said. "Most of these computers are new, and many may have never been used, but I need to clean them all now."

"Okay! In principle, we are willing to clean that garage for you." After hearing what the other party said, Liang En nodded and said, "But before that, we need to check those computers to make sure they can be used."
