When Zhang Yang and his group got off the plane, it was already past three o'clock in the morning. Last night, Xue Lian took him to eat a lot of special snacks from Xinjiang Province, such as "pulling strips", "pulling slices" and so on. They were waiting for the plane at the airport.
It was actually early in the morning when we arrived in Yanjing.
When they were at the airport, except that the cabin was larger and more luxurious than those in Xinjiang Province, they couldn't feel anything different about Yanjing. Of course, judging from the weather, it was definitely extremely bad here.
The wind and sand are strong and the weather is dry and cold. For Zhang Yang and others in the south, this weather is simply terrible.
Zhang Yang suddenly found that he was a little confused after coming to Yanjing. Where could he find General Stuttering? Although he could find the general through Wang Yan, Zhang Yang did not want to call Wang Yan. Zhang Yang was always conflicted, and the result of the conflict was
Undecided.
"Xuelian, where are you going?" Zhang Yang asked.
Three pairs of eyes fell on Xuelian.
"Don't you know?" Xuelian asked in surprise.
"..."
The three of them were immediately stunned.
"I, I... I came to Yanjing when I was eight years old, how can I still remember..." Xue Lian stammered, and when she saw everyone staring at her in shock, her face turned red with anxiety.
Everyone stared at each other, but no one thought about this problem. They always thought that Xue Lian should have contact information.
"How about I give dad a call..."
"No!" the three men said in unison.
"Why?" Xuelian was a little confused. She was an inexperienced girl, so she naturally didn't understand men's psychology. For three grown men, they actually had to ask for help from Maimaiti before they found the general when they came to Yanjing. That was absolutely
It's a shameful thing.
No one answered Xuelian. Several men, carrying large and small bags on their backs, walked towards a taxi as if they were fleeing.
"Brothers, come with me today, Uncle Biao will take you to eat and drink delicious food." Liu Biao called a taxi waiting for customers, threw his big bag into the trunk and shouted excitedly.
"Okay, I'll mess with you!" Aze suddenly spoke. This was the first thing Aze said since he came from Xinjiang Province.
"Hey, hang out with me, that's right!" Liu Biao patted Aze on the shoulder. The three men looked at each other and smiled, and all the barriers disappeared.
"Brother driver, let's go to the Hilton Hotel!"
Liu Biao is rich now. The highest-end hotel he has stayed in in his life is a four-star hotel, and it is a fake. Therefore, when he came to Yanjing this time, the first thing he thought of was staying at a Hilton. In fact, he only knew this
The name of the hotel.
"No, let's go to the Peninsula Palace Hotel." Zhang Yang rejected Liu Biao's proposal.
"...Why?" Liu Biao was a little dissatisfied. Hilton, it's a five-star hotel!
"Haha, in Yanjing, the Peninsula Palace Hotel has a much longer history than Hilton." Zhang Yang smiled. In fact, he didn't know the reason. He just had an inexplicable feeling of intimacy towards this hotel. He almost
He blurted out the name of this hotel, and Zhang Yang guessed that there must be someone in his memory who had a special liking for this hotel, which affected his decision.
"Haha, I'm very knowledgeable. It's not like the old Yanjing still doesn't know the origin of Peninsula Palace Hotel. In fact, Peninsula Palace Hotel was formerly known as Yanjing Palace Hotel. It opened in January 1989 and reopened in July 2005.
Decoration...sigh...many people don’t know about it..."
The driver is about forty years old. Judging from his nostalgic expression, he should be a real old Yanjing native.
In today's Yanjing, it is not as easy as people think to meet a real old Yanjing. Because of the continuous development and expansion of the city, the foreign population has surpassed the locals. Many people with Yanjing household registration are not necessarily real old people.
Most of the people in Yanjing have moved from other places.
Of course, this does not mean that there are fewer people in Yanjing, but in terms of population ratio, it is much easier to meet a foreigner than a person from Yanjing.
"Haha, brother driver, is the Peninsula Palace Hotel closest to [***] Square?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Yes, brother, in fact, although the Peninsula Palace Hotel is a bit expensive, for out-of-town tourists, staying here is the most convenient. The hotel is located in the city center, only a few steps away from the Forbidden City; only a few steps away from Yanjing Railway Station
2 kilometers; 30 kilometers from Yanjing International Airport; you can walk to the Forbidden City, [***] Square, and the National Museum from the hotel. If you stay in the hotel, you can visit those attractions anytime. Of course, you must also arrange a time
,In recent years, there have been more and more tourists, and many attractions cannot be open around the clock. Of course, you can consult at the hotel..."
The taxi driver was indeed an old Yanjing man, eloquent and well-spoken. He was worthy of being the Kanye of Yanjing. He spoke very carefully. From the airport to the hotel, he actually talked about all the major attractions of Yanjing, including the attractions where the Olympic Games will be held.
Speaking of which, if you are not the old Yanjing, it would still be difficult to figure it out. You know, Yanjing is really too big, and many people can’t figure it out even if they live there all their lives.
It took more than an hour to walk from the airport to the Peninsula Palace Hotel with stop-and-go taxis and red lights all the way.
The four of them got off the bus at the hotel. Liu Biao generously threw nearly a thousand dollars to the driver, who walked away with a smile on his face.
"***, you actually look down on us country people and say it's just a bit expensive. I want to see how expensive it is!" Liu Biao pushed away the doorman who was about to carry his bag and strode into the hotel, wearing clothes all over his body.
The luggage was packed one after another, like African refugees. Although there were no guests in the hotel at this time, it still attracted the attention of the security guard on duty because Liu Biao just pushed the doorman to the ground.
.
"Open a room!" Liu Biao walked to the front desk, full of momentum.
"Ah... um..." The two girls on duty were startled by Liu Biao's voice that sounded like a broken sand jar. They even forgot their polite words and stammered at this strange combination.
A huge muscular man, weighing at least 100 kilograms, was leading two young men who looked a little thin, followed by a little girl who was afraid of stepping on ants when she walked.
What makes people feel a little weird is that the four of them are all wearing the kind of inside-out sheepskin clothes and carrying a number of large and small bags, just like migrating hunters in ancient times.
"How much?"
Liu Biao arrogantly slapped a stack of banknotes on the front desk, which made several security guards dumbfounded. There is no need to show off here, right? This is a high-end hotel, and some of the people who spend money here are poor.
Some people take cash!
Immediately, several security guards showed contemptuous smiles on their faces. They were already sure that these guys were bumpkin and nouveau riche.
Of course, their guess is indeed correct. Liu Biao's total wealth now only amounts to tens of thousands, but looking at his momentum, he is more arrogant than billionaires...
"Sir, how many rooms do you need?" The lady at the front desk glanced at the girl behind her.
"Well... we need... four rooms..." Liu Biao rolled his eyes and smiled mischievously. He had already decided to have a feast tonight.
"Well, the deluxe room costs RMB 3,400. After discount, it's RMB 1,320, so the total is RMB 5,000... By the way, because your check-in time is too early, you will be charged an additional fee..."
"What! So expensive? You need to pay more!"
Liu Biao's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief on his face. In the Mainland, a four-star hotel only costs more than 200 a night, and a slightly more expensive one is a little more than 300. This is more than a thousand for a room.
The room has greatly exceeded Uncle Biao's surprise. Of course, the key point is that it has far exceeded his financial ability. It costs more than 5,000 yuan to stay for one night, which is not cost-effective for him.
Seeing Liu Biao's surprised look, Aze and Zhang Yang couldn't help but turn their backs in unison. It was so embarrassing!
You don’t have to look so surprised if you think it’s expensive, right?!
Even Xue Lian blushed with embarrassment and looked down at her toes without making a sound.
"Sir, this is the hotel's rule..."
"Okay... Gouyue's hotel is so expensive, it's like killing a pig! Liu Biao was a little annoyed and threw all the money on the bar. He has booked a lot of rooms, so naturally he knew that he had to pay a deposit.
"Sir, please show me your ID card." The lady wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to smile when she looked at this big guy who looked like a gorilla, and the muscles on her face kept twitching.
"Little girl, give Uncle Biao a smile, don't hold it back." Liu Biao got angry and threw his ID card on the bar in a depressed manner.
"Ahem...hehe..." The lady at the front desk finally couldn't help covering her mouth and laughed. They had seen too many people of all kinds, including people like Liu Biao who had no money but pretended to be rich. However, Liu Biao
There aren't many people like Biao who don't feel any shame at all after trying to pretend to be rich.
"I'm sorry, sir, your ID card is fake. Please show me a valid ID." The front desk lady's face became serious. Obviously, a formal hotel like this will never accept people with fake IDs.
, Of course, there is nothing you can do if you can't tell the authenticity of the ID. Like Liu Biao, the fake ID advertised on the telephone pole to solicit business can be seen by anyone with a little knowledge.
At this time, the two security guards who were watching from a distance pretended to patrol and slowly came closer. Because they saw that the big man's face was very ugly, and they had an obligation to protect the two beautiful front desk girls.
