Chapter 189 – [Raccoon Man Beginning]
If you ask what comes to mind when you think of China, first of all, various things such as food culture, the Great Wall, the Communist Party, Tiananmen Square, Chinese noodles, and others come out. As such, cuisine accounts for a fairly high proportion in China.
It is not for nothing that people say that they eat everything with legs except for tables and everything that swims in the water except for submarines.
To be honest, food that is fried and fried in oil can make leather shoes even more delicious……. These days, shoes require a lot of chemicals to treat things like leather, so it may be a bit unreasonable, but old shoes are possible. It would be better not to eat it for health reasons.
Anyway, China has developed a lot of different recipes. Each region has its own characteristics, and the most famous are Sichuan cuisine, which is famous for its spicyness, and Cantonese cuisine, which is famous for its rich ingredients.
Isn’t there such a thing as the 4 major dishes? If you think about it like that, there are 8 major dishes, and you have to think about Korean dishes like jajangmyeon and jjambbong, so the story becomes very long.
Wouldn’t it have become more famous if the Red Guards and Mao Zedong hadn’t destroyed such a food culture… Honestly, the Cultural Revolution was such an idiot that even Master, who was from China (though strictly speaking, is from another dimension), was frightened and cursed. This was Even if I had martial arts, I would have practiced it then.
Anyway, when I was reincarnated in Moorim, I traveled around the country and went on a gourmet and culinary training.
Even if I live a normal life without Zion, I still have some greed for cooking… My cooking skills are half eating and half cooking. Even if you don’t have cooking experience, if you’re a gourmet, you’ll have some basic cooking skills, and even if you have a lot of cooking experience, you can’t make it big if you’ve never tried your own cooking.
Hey, it was really good back then. How much fun it was to travel around the country and experience and cook various local food cultures and dishes.
I don’t want to get into trouble in the middle because of Baengnyeongyo or Murimmaeng.
“Where have the knights who know the morality of a strong man go?
“I killed them all”
There are no proper guys among those who are looking for Dory from ancient times. In fact, they are Magyoni and Murimmaengs who can clearly see the difference between good and evil on the outside, so there are no decent ones. The Demonic Cult is a group that gathers the souls of a thousand souls of Southeast Asian girls who fit the level of their name to create the ultimate magical art.
So they both sucked brother is fair
He lamented that Kangho’s dory fell to the ground, so he scratched the ground and turned it into blood. Bastards, so do your best.
“It’s a long flight…”
“Well, it’s natural since it’s over one sea. It’s close to Beijing, the capital, so isn’t it like this? And it only takes two hours.”
“Time is ambiguous. If it’s a place far away from the beginning, like the US, I’ll just take a nap. If it only takes an hour, like Jeju Island, I’ll just hang out, but if it’s two hours, it’s ambiguous.”
China is right next to Korea, so it doesn’t take long to get there. Getting a visa is just more annoying. But the time was elusive.
I should have brought a book. If you wait while reading, time will pass quickly. Mr., Even if you wake up, will you sleep?
While I was quietly closing my eyes and trying to sleep, I suddenly smelled fragrant somewhere.
It was a first class seat, so it was quiet and comfortable, and there weren’t many people around, so I wondered if it was sprayed with fragrance, but it smelled a little different.
Something I like…
“……What?”
“Did you notice?”
“Yeah, at that level, of course you’ll notice.”
“It’s to the point where you don’t notice unless you’re close. You’re quick to notice.”
The source of the smell was Zion. No, if you say smell to a person, the expression is closer to the nasty side, so is it better to say scent?
Shion’s body had a subtle fruity scent. Suddenly, he said that it was the 3rd event that Xion had been talking about, and he couldn’t believe it…!!
“Event 3. It’s a theft”
“Do-nang? That’s just an urban legend.”
Donang is, so to speak, a story that belongs to the Chinese legend. Peach tree Do (桃) and lady nang (娘) combine to translate directly to peach lady.
Legend has it that the girl, who was fed only peaches from birth, has a faint scent of peaches on her body and a sweet taste in her bodily fluids. She says that such a girl is good for rejuvenation, and although she is a human flesh material, she also pays for meat at a high price.
But in the end it’s a legend. Even in China during the Murim period, where human rights were low, I had never seen anything like it.
If you ask if it’s so rare that you can’t even see it in Moorim, it’s because people can’t grow up eating only peaches. In the first place, I would have diabetes by then.
No matter how developed martial arts, if you are bound by the limitations of a mortal, the supply of nutrients is important. If you eat only peaches, you will not grow properly and die. So, to be honest, I was treating it as an absurd legend.
“Do you know how much I struggled to do this? I’ve been remodeling from the inside of my body, and it’s finally like this.”
“……Are you really a robber? No, why are you a robber in the first place?”
“So you don’t like peaches?”
If I were asked to pick my favorite fruit, of course I would choose peaches. Among them, the hard one.
There are few fruits that are as delicious as washing peaches with water and biting into the skin without paying attention to the rough hair. Of course, I also like soft peaches.
“Your favorite me and peaches are combined, so the icing on the cake!”
“Smell aside, is it really sweet?”
Of course, the area of greatest interest in donang is that the bodily fluid has a sweet taste. That is, even sweat, saliva, and urine.
I’m not a science major, but it feels like my exploratory desire is welling up. Huh? By the way, the biology side is also science, right? Anyway.
“There are many parts of the body that have been retouched. It’s quick to return to the original state, but it takes a long time to make it this way. It’s a bit annoying, but most of the things that come out of the robbery story feel the same.”
“Ohhhhh. But how do you do things like scent?”
“It is synthesized in the body and sprayed with fragrance through sweat. To be honest, it is closer to synthetic fragrance than natural fragrance.”
“How sweet?”
“Even if you drink a bottle of soda, there is enough sugar. Unexpectedly, carbonated drinks contain a lot of sugar.”
“I will have to worry about diabetes for the time being.”
Of course, there’s nothing wrong with your health, so it’s just a thumbs up.
Great, anyway, you’re the best, my wife! My wife, who smells like peaches and tastes delicious! When I think about it again, I am so blessed.
As we were talking about Donang, the plane arrived in China before we knew it.
A slightly crisp air catches my eye.
……Environmental issues are a bit annoying.
* * *
Arrive at Beijing Airport and complete immigration procedures. The immigration officer looked suspiciously at me and Xion, but it went smoothly after he gave me some money.
As expected in China, these things can be solved with money. The weather on the continent is amazing.
“Mmmm, this heavy metal smell in the air. It’s a healthy feeling.”
“Last time it was like that in Gwangmyeong Cave, and it’s like that this time too. Isn’t that a lie?”
“It’s true”
“Is it true? The air in China must be bad.”
I thought it was simply dust caused by desertification, but it seems that there are pollutants mixed with the exhaust fumes from the factory.
It feels like London in the days of the Industrial Revolution. That’s why the smog is coming out.
To be honest, if you ask which one is better, China is better, but that’s not to say that it’s better. I just chose the lesser evil between the worst and the lesser evil. Oh, Mr., I feel strange when I put my name in it.
“Let’s eat first. It’s only a two-hour flight, so we didn’t even get to eat.”
“Tell me and I’ll give it to you. Isn’t that the famous first class?”
“…Is that so?”
I didn’t know that I thought I wasn’t going to eat, so I ate some of the bread they gave me as a snack.
Honestly, it’s better to just eat something more proper here than in-flight meals, though.
No matter how good the in-flight meal is, the taste is greasy, salty, and sweet. As the place where I ate is a place, my appetite is low, so it is the result to match it. So I don’t know if I eat it once or twice, but if I eat more than that, I’ll bite it too.
If you think about it, among the maniacs of this side, it is said that they are bred if they board a plane that goes far. People can live by eating healthy and delicious food.
…….Gukbapchuk, go far away for now. Huh?
No, since this is China, it’s not rice soup, but dim sum? To be honest, it would be harder to find a store that doesn’t sell dumplings.
“If it’s dim sum, I want to try soryongpo”
“Sorongpo, not soryongpo”
“……Isn’t it a small dragon cannon?”
“It’s not a dragon character, it’s a long character.”
“I’m having culture shock right now. I’ve been misinformed all this time!”
“Honestly, when I say Xiao Long Bao, I think of Xiao Long Bao because of the Chinese pronunciation, but I don’t think of Xiao Long Bao.”
I came out of the airport to catch a taxi to enter downtown Beijing. There was a lot of people who caught tourists in the middle and bargained for taxi fares, but I ignored them.
It seems that there are people everywhere who want to take a bite out of tourists. There were people who couldn’t catch us and tried to drag our carrier, but they took it away and boarded a taxi that had few customers.
“Where are you going?”
“Please go downtown. Oh, do you know a place that does a good job of roasting Peking duck?”
“Well, when it comes to cooking, the Zen Shangri-La Hotel has been rumored to be good at it. Shall we go there?”
“Then please go there.”
If you’re a taxi driver, you’ll know the geography around here well enough, so it’s better to leave it to us. I didn’t choose randomly, but I chose someone I could trust.
When I entered the road, it was full of smoke and people. To be honest, you can see half the smoke and half the people. It was fortunate that the taxi window was closed so that the fumes didn’t come in. If it wasn’t for that, I would have almost inhaled the fumes before eating.
The environment really sucks. There are too many real people in China. I’d like to see Thanos say he would wipe out half of life in a Marvel movie and see all the crazy ideas, but when I look at China, I feel that feeling coming up.
Soon we arrived at the hotel. A tall modern building was built like the tallest tower building in Korea that I saw in Jamsil the other day. The strangely decorated pattern and the name of the Zen Shangri-La Hotel were written on the fountain in front.
It is a hotel that seems to have been made with money because there are as much money as there are many people. What can I say, a much more blatant feeling.
“Here. Do the rest as a team.”
“Oh, thank you!”
The fare charged by the taxi driver we rode in was a little higher than the list price, but it was a relatively conscientious price compared to the price we had just doubled or tripled from the airport. I said that the change was fine and gave him twice the original taxi fare.
It’s wrong to be with a guy who doubles it from the beginning, and who likes it at a decent price and gives it twice as much.
“How’s the rating here?”
“It’s pretty good. Service and cleanliness are not bad, no glaring issues.”
“Smells… Nice.”
Focusing on my sense of smell, I checked the interior of the hotel. The faint smell of cooking felt good, as if it were made by a skilled chef.
I decided to get a room first. Even if I can’t do it, I’ll have to stay for a week, so I need a place to stay during that time.
In a luxury hotel like this, there are always rooms available. The only problem is that we cannot guarantee the price of the remaining rooms. If you have a room that costs a few hundred or tens of millions of won a night, you can’t stay without a decent amount of money.
“Welcome. How can I help you?”
“I want to stay for a week or so. I’d like a room on the top floor with the most beautiful view. Not a single room, but a double room.”
“The Royal Suite on the top floor costs 100,000 yuan per night. Would that be okay?”
“Please pay”
This is when the unlimited black card comes out. However, if it is 100,000 yuan, it will be different depending on the exchange rate, but it will usually be about 16 million won. Over 100 million in a week.
Hmm…Well, what’s good is good!
“Is the restaurant available right away?”
“Our restaurant is open 24 hours a day. Drop by whenever you feel like eating or order room service and we’ll treat you to a delicious meal.”
“Thanks”
Once I got the key, I went up to the room and decided to leave my luggage first. Maybe it’s because it’s the top floor, so you can see all the scenery outside… But maybe because the fine dust is a bit bad, I feel like I’m in the middle of the day. It’s a bit dirty to be honest.
Instead of looking at the scenery, Shion was just bouncing on the bed and destroying the mattress. It looks like fun, but isn’t it playing like a child?
“Anyway, sightseeing may be a little difficult. The weather will be like this, so you won’t be able to see it.”
“It looks like shit, should I sweep it away?”
“China? Fine dust?”
“No, of course it’s fine dust. Is it a human species that randomly kills people just because I’m offended?”
To be honest, as long as I don’t touch Zion, I’m extremely safe. Instead of killing someone for getting into a fight on the street, rather respect the modern law and call the police to cover up the fight. Seeing that most of the transcendentalists ignore the laws of that civilization, I am an extremely conscientious transcendentalist.
That’s why I don’t just randomly kill people. Most of them are human beings who don’t look like humans even if they kill them. Or, like the last time I fought Lulu in Russia, the Transcendents fought each other and killed people unintentionally.
If I’m really angry and want to kill everyone and tear people apart, I won’t do that unless I touch Zion.
“……It feels like something flagged.”
“It’s probably not a death flag. Did the favorability increase or the ending split?”
“I think it’s the latter.”
What kind of flag is it that goes all the way to the ending fork?
To be honest, I don’t know what it is, so let’s go eat.
