Chapter 3 third chapter

After eating, I took out the remaining piece of chocolate, turned it over, looked at it, and sniffed it deeply. It completely mesmerized me. I admired, "No wonder the eighteenth-century botanist Linnaeus called it 'the delicacy of the gods'." He suddenly raised his head, "How do you know this allusion?" I said, "Because it's my mother's favorite food and she used to eat it when she was little." "Everyone eats candy, but very few people know the history of candy." Seeing how serious he was, I couldn't help but say, "But I'm not an ordinary person."

He was startled, and then said: "That's right," he paused, "But you can't possibly know more about chocolate than I do." "Of course," I said, not wanting or in the mood to argue with him, "you are chocolate maker, an industry that makes many people happy." "You really think that?" He rejoiced. I nod. "Thank you, Miss Lu," he seemed to feel infinitely relieved. In order to please him, I will further disclose my knowledge: "Cocoa was discovered by Columbus in 1502, but it has existed in the Amazon basin for 4000 years. At that time, 100 cacao grains were exchanged for 1 slave. "

"Totally correct." He clapped his hands. "I didn't expect to meet people of the same kind. In the past, when I talked about the history of cocoa beans with girls, they waved their hands in a hurry and felt bored." I hit the snake with the stick, "In that case, will you take me home?" "Of course, I have long said to take you home." No, go to your home. " He was stunned, and after a while he came to his senses, he said: "Miss, you really have nowhere to go." "Yes," I begged, "I ask you to take me in for a night, I won't trouble you."

"I can't just take a strange woman home." "You have a family?" "No." "Then make an exception once? There is always a first time, and there are always exceptions." He looked at me, "You don't have cash with you?" "Nothing." "How about I sponsor you to stay in a hotel overnight?" "I'm afraid." Without their papers, how could they get to the hotel. He shook his head, "Miss, what you said is too unbelievable." Fifty years ago, the folk customs were not simple at all, and people were not stupid at all. I tried my best, but I couldn't convince him.

I was angry, "Okay, let me die, I hope you will live in a foreign land one day. Have a taste of this." "I can help you. Which country are you from? I'll take you to the embassy." "I am your countryman." "Your appearance is indeed the same as my clan." I am annoyed. "The world has become unified, the war has stopped, and the cancer has been cured. Look at you, you can't even take in your compatriots." He thought for a long time, "Then please tell me, what is that five-centimeter-diameter family piece in the center of your forehead?"

When I heard it, my heart went cold. How did I meet someone so smart? "You don't think I can't see?" he pressed. In the confusion, I said: "This is the decoration of the female hooligan, the latest dress." "Are you a female A Fei?" He laughed. Don't worry if I'm in a hurry.I took the time to ask the waiter to bring black tea. In my heart full of sorrow, I said: "Add another cup." I must taste the taste of black tea that my mother often misses. He said cunningly: "If it is a decoration, you can get it." I poured out the tea and took a sip. It was very bitter and I didn't like it. Adding milk and sugar, the taste was still not as good as citrine, which shows that sometimes technology wins.And the table is already full of utensils for drinking this small cup of tea, which cost about ten dollars, which is really too addictive.

"Don't like to drink?" he asked, and I shook my head. He drank his tea and paid the bill. "Let's go." Chi said. "Where are you going?" " "My home." At this time, it was my turn to hesitate.go back with him? The first time I saw him, I made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. His appearance was so honest, it fooled me, thinking that I could order him to do things for me, but after a meal, I found that he had the upper hand. But at this moment, if I don’t follow him, there is no other way. I look up at the sky. Under the strong lights of the city, the sky is a strange gray color. How can I see the stars?

I had to go with him. We got in the car and drove to the countryside. He seemed to know what was on my mind, and turned his head to comfort me: "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person." It was ridiculous, since he was fifty years ahead of him, but he had nothing to do with him. Can't help answering: "Of course he won't be a good person." "No, human nature definitely has a bad side, but it also has a good side. If the black is black and the white is snowy white, then what's the taste?" At this time, he still preached, which made me angry. The twists and turns of the roads in the suburbs are even worse than the Avenue of Life. There are beautiful buildings along the way, which seem to be residential buildings.After driving for about twenty minutes, the car stopped and I saw a small white bungalow.

It is not as grand as expected. I have already guessed that Fang Zhongxin is a rich man, but I don’t know how far his wealth is. Now I can’t help but feel a little disappointed. Because with money comes power, and now that I'm in trouble, I desperately need rich and powerful friends. Can we be friends?I doubt it. From this angle, I see the moon, Earth's only satellite, on the horizon. "Come in," he said. He seemed to live alone, but the place was cleaned very neatly, and there were all kinds of packaged candy samples in the cabinet. There were probably hundreds of them.

I followed him into the room, and he pointed, "You sleep here tonight." I nod. After he left, I closed the door and studied for a while before I knew where the key of the lock was. There are countless chocolate boxes in the room, and I said to myself: You are welcome, just open it and eat it.This kind of sugar has a soothing effect, and it stabilizes the mind a lot. I was so tired that I fell on the soft bed and fell asleep.This is my first night. I don't know if my family misses me, and I don't know if the relevant parties have notified them that I am missing. Early the next morning, he knocked on the door to wake me up, fearing he would drive me away.

I opened my eyes wide, only to see a women's bathrobe draped over the bed, and when I got up, I found a pair of pink gauze slippers. Hmph, I thought he was a gentleman. The daffodils did not bloom in front of me all night, and he lured me into the shell. He was eager to bring me back, and he refused when he wanted to.Make me beg him hard. I went and opened the door. He poked his head in, "Did you sleep well?" "The bed is too soft, all spondylosis comes from the upholstery." "It's comfortable. Smoking is harmful to your health, but it's a kind of enjoyment." He smiled. I was surprised that he could become such a hippie smiling face. His eyes fixed on the empty candy box, "You really like chocolate, don't you, but don't worry, you've found the right person." He sat down on a sofa in front of my bed. I am vigilant, what are you doing? He lifted his glasses frame, restrained his smile, and said, "Now you can tell me which planet you are from." I? "I will keep a secret for you. What superpowers do you have? Where is your aircraft? What is your purpose when you come to Earth?" I was dumbfounded, he regarded me as an extraterrestrial visitor! "Last night I took a technician to check your car. This is definitely not something that any laboratory can manufacture. They estimate that it will be 50 or 60 years before they can mass-produce this kind of solar notebook. By then, all oil-producing countries will have announce bankruptcy." I sat down and said quietly, "You're right." "So where are you from?" he pressed hard. I said: "Science and technology are only a few decades ahead of yours, can you do space travel, think about it." He froze. "I am your compatriot, and I am also a citizen of Shuangyang City." He shook his head slowly, "I don't believe it." "Promise me you won't hurt me." "I promise." He held up his hand. He assured, he said he assured, that the letter had been more than ten percent. Today he doesn't have to go to work, he has changed his attire, the clothes are much more fancy, he is more handsome than yesterday, and he has lost the solidity of yesterday, the clothes have such a great influence on people. Seeing my hesitation, he said again: "If I don't keep my promise, chocolate will disappear from this world." As soon as he said that, I burst out laughing. He was annoyed, "Don't think this oath is ridiculous. My Fang family has been making sugar for a hundred years. Without chocolate, there would be no us." The only good thing about this man is his innocence. I am much more wary of him. He said: "People on Earth are not as scary as you think, you can trust me." "I know people on Earth too well." "You specialize in studying us?" "No, I am an Earthling myself." He sighed, "Okay, I won't force you, but remember, I will not betray you, I am your friend." I breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't force me. But he couldn't help but asked again: "What is your original shape?" Prototype? "In my eyes, you are a beautiful woman. Of course, your original appearance cannot be like this." "You mean, am I a beam or an octopus?" Fang plucked up her courage, "What are you?" "I'm a useless woman with no superpowers, and my job is to compile and buy books for the National Library." If I were a scientist, I could also provide a business formula or two to make him rich. It's a pity that I'm a scholar, so I'm useless. Fang Zhongxin didn't believe my words, so he asked me to have breakfast. The old-fashioned food is really delicious, my appetite is not necessarily good, and I have too many worries, I am eager to go back, and I am alone, afraid that I will need his help. On the breakfast table, there was a large bouquet of violets. I said, "It's cruel to cut off a flower. Plants are also sentient. I believe you already know that." "Yes, there are people doing such research." There was an animal skin under the living room, which made me even more angry. "Also, skinning animals is even more inhumane, why do you still insist?" "It's just a piece of sheepskin, don't overdo it, okay?" He jumped up. I don't ring. After a while he said: "It seems that you have a kind heart and will not harm the people of the earth." I sigh. "How did you end up on our planet?" I asked, "Why don't you go to work?" "I'm the boss, so it's okay to take a day or two off." "What's the price of cocoa now?" "Twenty-two hundred dollars per metric ton." "The price will go up again, you have to be careful." "We've been paying attention." "It will go extinct." Fang Zhongxin was startled, then laughed, "Don't be kidding." "That's because you don't cherish everything you have. When Coco was alive, you didn't pay attention to it. You let the natives handle the production, and didn't provide improved planting methods. Finally, with a swell, Coco became a legend and no longer exists." "What, are you a prophet?" He jumped up. "What I say is the truth." "You mean, the Fang family business will be declared over?" I nod. "I do not believe." I shrugged.Who expected him to believe it.Back then when Noah said it out loud, no one was willing to go on the ark with him. Who am I, why should he listen to me. He worried again, "Really?" I smile. "Prove to me what you say is true." "Don't test me." "That little piece of metal on your forehead is your communicator, isn't it?" I kept my mouth shut. "If you insist on not telling the truth, don't expect me to help you." "I'm a human from Earth. I went to the wrong space and came to this era." "Go on."
