My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 243
After all, Han Qi still didn't have the chance to enter Buckingham Palace to take a look. He didn't know how big the chandelier Ingrid was talking about, and he didn't know whether the tables inside were inlaid with gold.

In fact, when it comes to which palace is the most luxurious, Han Qi thinks it depends on the Potala Palace.

What is a gold-plated table? They will get you a set of pure gold.

And inlaid with gems is definitely better than inlaid with diamonds. Diamonds are useless except that they look golden and beautiful under the light, and they don’t hold their value. When they are bought, they lose 90.00% of the value of diamonds.

After blowing the wind for a while by the Thames, I saw a newly renovated store.

Most of the shops on the banks of the Thames are very old, and these bosses seldom set aside nearly a month to renovate their prosperous shops, so seeing new shops here Not easy.

This is a store called The Rock & Fish and Chips.

You can tell from the name of the store that this is a fast food restaurant selling fish and chips.

Now the food that the British eat daily is a fusion of French, Chinese, Japanese and other cuisines. People’s tongues are the same. No one will eat good food and look up to it every day. starry sky.

So if you really want to experience a British dish, then fish and chips must be right.

The last time Han Qi ate this, the boss had a BB with him about a lot of knowledge about it, and he was quite eloquent, which made Han Qi want to open a restaurant like this in China.

fish and chips.As the name suggests, this dish is fish with chips, breaded and fried golden sturgeon on one side of the plate, and a pile of chips on the other.

Well, it's that simple.

Han Qi mainly felt that this store was newly opened, and walked in with the attitude that he might encounter some surprises.

The decoration of this shop is very British, combined with a touch of elegance, and the waiter is also very polite, shouting enthusiastically:
"welcome."

"Ah."

Han Qi looked at the menu, ordinary fast food restaurants have many other items besides French fries and burgers, this restaurant is the same, Han Qi looked at it for a long time, and chose grilled eggplant, steamed sturgeon with cream and herbs, cucumber slices, cola, And of course the most important fish and chips.

The young lady at the front desk personally brought various things to Han Qi.

"Are you the boss?" Han Qi asked.

The young lady was arranging the things on the table, she seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she had to arrange the dishes ordered by Han Qi neatly.

"I, I am not."

This young lady is very young and has many freckles on her face.

There is no one in the store now, only Han Qi is a customer, probably it has something to do with the time, after all, it is not a meal time, and Han Qi saw the KFC grandfather on the road ahead.In this tourist-heavy place, with KFC's reputation, there must be more people than fish and chip shops.

After all, not many foreigners know the status of this local fast food in the UK.

Han Qi tasted the fries.

French fries are the soul of European and American fast food. If the French fries are not good, then other things should not be very good either.

"It's so crispy."

Salty and delicious, the skin is very crispy, it has a strong potato aroma when bitten down, and it is a little hot.

After trying the water, Han Qi was relieved.

Now there is James Morrison's "You Give Me Something" in the store. This is a relatively retro song. Compared with the fast-paced American music, this song can be recognized as a British song.

While eating, Han Qi hummed a tune to the music in the store.

When it came to the chorus, he sang softly.

"Because of the love you gave me, I am afraid that this is a dream..."

The music stopped suddenly, and Han Qi sang along, but he also sensed something was wrong, the fork stayed in the air, and the steaming sturgeon pieces fell into the soup again.

He looked at the bar curiously, after all, this was the only person around him.

against me?
The little sister was in a tactical backward posture, holding the phone in both hands. When Han Qi looked over, she panicked a little, let go of her hand, and the phone fell.

Fortunately, the counter was relatively high, and the phone bounced on the bar, and she caught it in a hurry.

"Are you okay?" Han Qi asked.

"Thank you, I'm fine, you sang very well, just like the original one."

Do you think I lip-sync?
Han Qi smiled at this thought and continued eating.

The last restaurant he went to said that fish and chips were the national dish of Britain, but they tasted like ordinary deep-fried food.Most of these things taste the same. If the taste is not good enough, you can't tell whether it tastes good or not.

Well, travel is all about trying new things.

Others say it's good, but if you go to see and taste it yourself, no matter whether you regret it or not, you will always have your own feelings.

Han Qi once read an article describing Stonehenge as a scenic spot that "don't go to regret, go to regret".

For fish and chips, you can say that the taste is mediocre. After all, for Huaxia, who is used to cooking food with full color, flavor and taste, its simple and crude production method can only be understood as cooking the food, not cooking it. Cooking in the true sense.

But from another point of view, the fish and chips are still very authentic and retain the taste of deep-sea cod, just like a half-cooked steak.

After tasting it, I saw the young lady at the cashier sitting in front of me.

"You sing really well, are you a professional singer?"

"If you only talk and sing, yes."

Regardless of creative ability, as far as singing skills are concerned, Han Qi is undoubtedly at the peak.It's hard to say through the ages, at least after listening to those well-known modern singers, Han Qi can still detect the flaws in their voices.

When a person has talent, skills, and plug-ins that specially optimize the voice for you.

Then you can't hang ordinary people, you can uninstall the system.

"You must be very famous in your country."

There was deep inquiry in her eyes, and a little bit of admiration, as if Han Qi in front of her was a big star.

"What's your expression? You work by the Thames, don't you see stars?"

This is the Thames River in London, not the River A and River B in small towns. Not only tourists and celebrities from all over the world like to visit here, but even three out of ten British movies will come here to shoot scenes. In this environment, radio Han Qi couldn't understand Miss Sister's expression.

"I worked part-time after school, and I found this store a few days ago." She explained, and then asked, "You haven't said it yet, are you a star? You sing this song so well, do you know James himself? "

Han Qi shrugged and said, "Obviously I don't know him."

He had almost eaten, put down his fork and said, "As you can see, I am a foreigner, why do you think I know the stars of your country?"

"I thought you were working in London because of your great accent."

Even if foreigners can learn English, it is difficult to learn the accent of a place, especially in the ears of British people, who can hear even a little bit of strange smell.Just like many foreigners who can speak Chinese, if they have not lived in China for a long time, the language difference will be very different.

"I just thought you were praising me, why, he is your idol?"

"Yes, I like his songs very much."

The stereo in the store stopped, and the people inside came out, opened the door and asked, "What's the matter, is the stereo broken?"

"No, I pressed pause." The girl said back.

The one who came out was a big brother who looked quite handsome, but he had a little beard.From the perspective of Chinese people, as long as Europeans and Americans have a little more delicate facial features and don't get fat, they are all handsome guys, at least above the standard.

Seeing the guests, he nodded and went to the bar to take a sip of water.

"What are you doing with the music off?"

The girl popularized to this person how good Han Qi's singing was, and the tone made Han Qi blush a little.He has a relatively thick skin, and it's okay to deal with a little embarrassment, but it's a bit irritating to praise himself in front of Han Qi, and the person who praises himself is a beautiful girl.

The man obviously didn't believe it when he said it so well.

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true!" she exaggerated.

Before Han Qi sang, he listened to a lot, and finally pressed pause when he was really unsure, and heard Han Qi sing one of the lyrics.She had already been captured by Han Qi, and now seeing her friend showing a dubious expression, she immediately became anxious.

The man still doesn't believe it.

Han Qi watched their argument for a while, wiped his mouth and prepared to run away.

Since I can't solve the problem raised by my sister, I won't stay here to watch the show, so as not to affect the relationship between the two employees.

Seeing that Han Qi was about to leave, the girl finally understood where the core of the story was.

He ran to Han Qi and said, "Handsome guy, please sing another song to justify yourself, after all your voice is really nice."

"Why should I justify my name?" Han Qixiao rolled her eyes.

Sneak early, and after watching the sights along the Thames, you can go to the concert hall to listen to the tap dance performance.He is very interested in tap dancing now. After all, it is a very handsome dance. The only thing more handsome than tap dancing is Latin dance.

Because Latin dance can also see a beautiful female partner.

Han Qi is a man, and he definitely prefers to watch women dance when watching dances. As for hip-hop, although he has learned a lot from this boy, Han Qi is not interested in him.

The man also reacted.

That's right, since Lily is so sure that this guest's singing voice is better than the singers on the charts, why not sing one, won't you know if you sing one?And if you sing well, you can attract customers to your own small shop.

This man is actually the owner of the store, Hopson.

He has been regretting for the past few days why he opened the fast food restaurant that the British people like here.The locals who come here come to run or take a walk in the morning or evening. The Thames River during the day belongs to foreign tourists.

Since you are a foreign tourist, you will definitely choose KFC not far from here for dinner. Why come to eat fish and chips?

Thinking of this, Hopson also started to stay with Han Qi.

Listening to singing is secondary, but if Han Qi can attract some customers to his small shop, then he can't wait to lose.

"Sir, it's mainly because Lily's words are too surprising. I am still very willing to believe in your level. If you are willing, how about we free the meal you enjoyed?"

"Free of charge, just a few dozen dollars?"

"Forehead……"

Hopson had nothing to say, and others obviously didn't care about the money.

"Do you have any musical instruments here?" Han Qi asked suddenly.

"Musical instruments, keyboards?"

Han Qi blinked and sat back, thinking of a better way.

"Well, I'm going to visit the show at five o'clock. Before that, I can sing in front of your store, and the money I earn will be mine. If customers come to eat in your store, if the money you earn exceeds your business yesterday Double the charge, and you will treat me to supper that night."

He saw many street singers by the river, and his throat was a little itchy.

Anyway, you don’t just stay in London for a day or two. You can visit the lower part of the Thames another day, and maybe take a boat tour, so these two or three hours can really be freed up, and you can enjoy it by the way.

It's been a long time since I performed on the street.

Sometimes when I think about it, I still miss the time when I first came out. At that time, I didn’t have much money, so I could only go to one place and perform one show to earn some tipping money.

Hopson didn't expect Han Qi to have such a suggestion.

Suddenly can not think of what to say.

Han Qi urged, "How about it? You won't be at a disadvantage, will you accept this bet?"

Otherwise, I will leave. Why sing without an instrument?
When Hopson heard the word bet, he nodded subconsciously: "I bet."

"Well, where is your electronic piano, lend me a use."

"I know!"

Lily hurried to find the electronic piano that the boss had put away. Before opening this store, Hopson was practicing the piano. His dream was to work as a pianist in a restaurant with a good environment and high tip income.But the reason why dreams are dreams is because they are difficult to achieve.

From opening a restaurant belonging to the British in the best location on the Thames River, you can know that Hopson is a person who does things with one mind.This electronic piano is also practiced for 10 minutes every two days, and most of the time it is left to eat ashes.

Lily took out the electronic organ from a cabinet, skillfully imitated Hopson's movements when practicing the piano, placed the electronic organ outside the store, and connected the power supply to the extended power strip.

Hopson said: "Then what do you do if you don't meet this requirement?"

"Then I'll compensate you for twice the turnover of yesterday."

How much money can a fast food restaurant with less than [-] square meters make in a day?Han Qi thought.

It is estimated that the books sold in half a day are more than the money they make in a day of opening the store.

Played a few notes and tried it out.

The tone is okay.

He is not very proficient in the piano. When he first chose a wandering singer, the system only sent the memory of two instruments, one of which is the most skilled guitar. What song does a wandering singer not sing on the guitar?So Han Qi played the guitar very well.

The piano is just in that memory, in order to learn the absolute pitch.

"Okay, prepare me something that can hold a tip, I don't want a bowl, it looks like a beggar."
