Gu Caiwei and Lao Xiong's trip to the capital lasted four or five days, and then the four of them flew back to Lin'an to prepare for the New Year, where Ms. Gu Changge would be waiting for her.
The first two days of the itinerary were arranged by Zhang Jiaqi, and the next two days of itinerary were arranged by Lin Yi. It was a division of labor.
As for the other two tourists who came from afar, of course they didn’t do any planning and just waited to eat and shop with the two hosts.
Since it was already late on the day they arrived, they didn't go too far. Instead, they found a unique restaurant nearby to deal with it.
During this semester in the capital, although Lin Yi was busy starting a business and had no time to explore nearby restaurants and open a map, Zhang Jiaqi had obviously figured out that this small restaurant with an unassuming appearance still tastes good.
When Lin Yi heard that Zhang Jiaqi was going to sleep with Gu Caiwei at night, she didn't think of this guy's sinister intentions, because he didn't have any crooked ideas in the first place.
In this way, the next day came. Today, the young tour guide Zhang Jiaqi led three small group members to a must-visit destination for foreign tourists in Beijing:
Nanluoguxiang.
In fact, Lin Yi is not very interested in so-called cultural pedestrian streets with a relatively high degree of commercialization. Just like Hefang Street in Lin'an, they are usually used to fool outsiders.
He was sure that this was not the first time that Zhang Jiaqi had brought people here. Although there were many alleys extending in all directions, she was still familiar with the roads and pulled Gu Caiwei to run around, and the two of them were in high spirits.
Lin Yi and Lao Xiong were hanging far behind them. If Gu Caiwei hadn't come over from time to time to chat with Lin Yi, otherwise they would have looked like some strange lunatics.
Lao Xiong is also a playful person. Of course, he will not follow the two girls to explore some interesting cultural and creative shops, but will concentrate on searching for the legendary Beijing delicacies.
Lin Yi didn't give him any guidance, because he had to step on some pitfalls to gain his memory.
Lao Xiong quickly summed up this rule: "Damn it, I found that nothing that starts with the three characters "Lao Jingcheng" is delicious!"
That's right, the old Beijing fried liver, fried belly, stewed...
I don’t know if what they eat is authentic, but what they can buy in these tourist destinations is completely incompatible with the taste buds of southerners like them.
Lin Yi seriously doubted that the locals would eat these things?
The snack they were most satisfied with during this trip came from the recommendation of the tour guide Zhang Jiaqi. The red bean double-skinned milk produced by a famous Wenyu cheese shop in the alley won unanimous praise from the four of them.
I waited in line for a long time to buy this.
Turning from the main street of Nanluogu Lane, Zhang Jiaqi led them through two deep and quiet alleys, surrounded by deep mansions and courtyards protected by high walls. Only the lush shade of trees extending from the walls could be seen.
I don’t know how many dignitaries and dignitaries live in this place where these cars can’t drive.
After exiting the small alley, what suddenly opens up is Shichahai. Of course, Shichahai is not a sea. People in Beijing like to call the lake a sea, and divide it into three sections, called Houhai, Qianhai and Xihai respectively.
The most famous thing about Houhai is the bar street. Unlike the bustling and noisy Sanlitun, this place has a quiet literary and artistic atmosphere. It is said that many famous singers stayed here before they became famous.
But now in broad daylight, this is not their destination, and Gu Caiwei has no intention of enjoying the favor of her senior.
Zhang Jiaqi took them to a Yunnan restaurant at Yinding Bridge between Houhai and Qianhai.
"Dang dang dang, this treasure shop is my private collection and you can't find it in other places." The tour guide introduced proudly.
Lin had eaten at this restaurant in Lingnan in his previous life. At that time, it was already a large chain restaurant brand that could be seen everywhere. He didn't expect that it actually started in the capital. He asked curiously:
"How did you find this place?"
Zhang Jiaqi seemed to be waiting for this question: "I was introduced by my seniors at school, because the founder of this store is a senior from Jiang University, and you can get a discount with your student ID card."
"The first character in its name means that it comes from the south of Caiyun, the second character means that it is located in Shichahai, and the third character means delicious food."
"But I didn't bring you here to sell favors. The taste of this store is really good. Caiwei, look at this fish in sour soup. It's so delicious..."
Lin Yi and the others tasted some of the special dishes recommended by Zhang Jiaqi, and then couldn't help but act like a prophet: "This store can be opened all over the country in the future."
Zhang Jiaqi expressed disbelief at his tone, but she was busy destroying food so she didn't want to argue, so she just asked casually:
"How's your business going?"
Although these people were not outsiders, they were all laymen in business, so Lin Yi shared what they could understand.
Gu Caiwei didn't realize it, and she was very supportive: "Lin Yi is so awesome!"
"hiss……"
Zhang Jiaqi and Lao Xiong took a deep breath at the same time, feeling like they were being shown off.
Well, in fact, I had already predicted that these two guys would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity to torture a single person.
Strictly speaking, couples often do not intentionally abuse dogs, they are just happy, so singles should not be too sentimental.
Zhang Jiaqi quickly interrupted them: "Did you just say that you have two partners?"
Lin nodded: "Yes, one is my roommate, and the other is his cousin, who used to be the public relations minister of the student union."
Zhang Jiaqi just asked the question casually and had no other meaning. She thought that since they were cousins, the other two people must be in the same group.
"Then they are siblings, wouldn't it mean that you are the only one who works for them?"
There was no need to hide this secret from them, so Lin Xiaosheng revealed: "Actually, they each hold 10% of the shares, and I alone hold 80%."
This answer was obviously much more explosive than the previous one, and it attracted all their attention. Zhang Jiaqi repeated it in disbelief:
"You alone account for 80%, doesn't that mean they are working for you? There is also a senior sister from the student union!"
Lin Yi did not say that senior sister in the student union was not a great title. After all, that seemed to be disrespectful to the senior sister.
"It can't be said that we start a business together and are friends. We are all equal."
Zhang Jiaqi is an excellent law student. She knows very well that the equality she talks about is completely different from the equality recognized by the law, so she directly expresses her disdain.
"hehe."
They were just surprised for a while, because Lin Yi had not become a rich man who spent a lot of money, so this problem was solved so easily.
After a few people finished eating, they sat at the table next to the window and chatted. On the frozen lake outside the window, many people were playing on ice skates. Occasionally, one or two talented people showed up to show off difficult operations, which often elicited surprises.
Lin Yi picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip. He exhaled a ball of warm air and formed mist in front of him, thinking in his heart:
