189. Sick
"Oh my God, what's the situation, so many people?"
Chen Dashao looked at the scene outside through the car window, and his first feeling was: something might be happening ahead.
The car had not yet reached Hongqi Street, and had slowed down to a speed of no more than 10 yards, not because there were too many traffic lights, but because there were too many people.
Not only on the sidewalks, but also on the main roads are full of people.
Guo Yongkun finally understood why the driver showed a strange expression just now.
"Master, these are all people who went to Hongqi Street to buy flowers?"
"Obviously, there are basically no other shops on Hongqi Street now, all of them have been changed to buy Junzi Orchid, why don't you go to buy flowers?" The driver smiled and said: "I see you are going down here, and you will definitely not be able to drive in further, well, there are a few restaurants and hotels at the corner of the street in front, do you see it? But I don't know if there is a room." β
Guo Yongkun took a look, and felt that it was quite suspenseful, and it was very troublesome to move the ceremony, so he asked Wang Ziqiang to find out first.
"Xiao Wang, use this. Chen Dashao made a killer move, took out a Franklin card from his pocket and handed it over.
Wang Ziqiang was nothing, but the driver's eyes lit up.
Wonder if they'll settle the bill in dollars later?
But he wasn't sure, the main distance was too short, and at the moment he hoped that a few hotels would be out of stock, and then the distance would be farther away.
Wang Ziqiang went for a long time, but Guo Yongkun couldn't help but be happy. If you don't have a room, don't you go back early?
A full quarter of an hour later, I saw Wang Ziqiang's figure again.
"Brother Kun, there is!"
Originally, it was not, and it had already been ordered away by others, but as soon as Prince Qiang Franklin took it out, the other party immediately changed his words.
They don't care about customer satisfaction.
In these years, there is nothing more exciting about a state-run place of consumption like this one than earning foreign exchange.
Ruyi Hotel.
Unexpectedly, the faΓ§ade is not big, the grade inside is actually OK, the design of floor tiles and European-style ceilings, it is a luxury decoration in this year.
The layout of the room is even more unexpected, it is actually a duplex structure.
Big is not big, as soon as you walk in, it is a small rectangular living room, the sofa and TV are complete, and there are carpets, there are two pairs of doors at the end of the living room, one is the bedroom, and the other is the bathroom.
This is the layout of the ground floor.
Then there is a spiral staircase opposite the door that leads to the second floor, which has no living room, only two bedrooms and a bathroom, but both are larger than the first floor.
"It's kind of interesting. Chen Dashao said.
Originally, if he hadn't followed Guo Yongkun, he wouldn't have had the heart to come in when he looked at the door downstairs just now.
"The sparrow is small, and it has all kinds of organs. Guo Yongkun commented.
This design should have specially invited a designer, and the grade of the hotel is only afraid that it is also inseparable from Junzilan. He knew that this was the craziest period for Junzilan, and it was said that the money was very profitable.
Eight people opened two rooms, each of which had three bedrooms because it was a duplex, which was more than enough.
"Gentlemen, if you need anything, just ask. β
The foreman in the black women's suit said with a smile that although he was a little old, he still had the charm.
Chen Dashao took out a five-yuan denomination of US dollars and handed it over, the female foreman was stunned at first, and then overjoyed, and her attitude became more and more attentive.
"Actually, you don't have to tip, we don't have this rule in the mainland. After the foreman said goodbye and left, Guo Yongkun said.
He didn't expect the other party to accept it, because he had stayed in Baiyun Hotel and Jingcheng Hotel, he knew that these two hotels should be the highest standard hotels in China at present, and they are mainly to receive foreign guests, but there are strict rules that no tips are allowed.
"Get used to it. Chen Dashao shrugged indifferently.
What can you do when you meet a person who is stupid and has a lot of money? Guo Yongkun didn't pay attention to it anymore, and hurriedly went to dismantle the black cloth head placed in front of the sofa.
It contained a wooden frame for the Gentleman's Orchid.
After realizing the hot situation of the local Junzi Lan, when he got out of the car just now, Guo Yongkun asked Mazi to find a black cloth to wrap the wooden frame, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Although he doesn't understand Junzilan, he also knows that this pot is definitely the best of the best. Don't suffocate to death.
"Brother Guo, how to arrange it?"
"Let's go have a meal first, take a rest after that, and if you want to get up early, go to Hongqi Street in the afternoon." β
Chen Dashao nodded, all according to his orders.
Anyway, he just came here to play, take a trip, watch the play, and get close to Brother Guo, why not?
Although it's over the New Year, it's still very cold here, and in the north this season, there's nothing more exciting than a pot of stew.
After the group went downstairs, it was the female foreman from before who took them to the restaurant, and sure enough, the main attraction of the store this season was the "Northern Hot Pot" with strong characteristics - a special dining table, with a huge stir-fry directly placed on it with a black iron pot, and a hollow design underneath, with a pile of wood set up inside, which burned with a crackling sound.
Chen Dashao is "a little interesting" again, the first time in his life to go to the stove to eat, oh no, to be precise, it is the first time in his life to see the earthen stove.
"What to eat?"
The foreman brought the menu, which was full of some strange dishes, Chen Dashao looked at it and looked dark, so he could only ask Guo Yongkun for help.
"The first meal had to be sauerkraut stewed with goose. β
"This gentleman is a connoisseur at first glance. The female foreman gave a slap in the face at the right time, and looked at Guo Yongkun with a smile.
It's a pity that I'm going to disappoint her, and the other party doesn't mean to dig out his pockets at all.
The cauldron is made on site, and the raw goose is put in and mixed with broth, then sauerkraut is added, and the other side dishes are added one by one.
Seeing that Chen Dashao and the three of them were amazed, they did not have the slightest expression of disgust, and called "advanced".
"Yes, it's delicious!" Chen Dashao didn't care about goose, but he had a soft spot for sauerkraut and vermicelli, and ate bowl after bowl.
After they had eaten and drunk, they went back to their rooms to rest.
But it's not particularly tired, after all, it's a sleeper when I come, and it's not noisy, I've already slept.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Yongkun woke up, and when he went out, he saw that Chen Dashao's bedroom door was open, and there was no one inside. Downstairs, this guy and two bodyguards were sitting on the sofa chasing the drama "Shanghai Beach".
In 1985, Fa Ge's version of "Shanghai Tang" was released in the mainland, which made thousands of girls realize that a man can still be handsome like this. Xu Wenqiang wears a white top hat and a white scarf on his shoulder, God knows how many girls' hearts have charmed.
The so-called "dream of 900 million girls" is really appropriate when used on the young Fa Ge.
"You should have watched this TV series, right?" asked Guo Yongkun.
This TV series is TVB's work in 1980, and Hong Kong Island has long let it go.
"yes, but it's pretty. I didn't expect that a TV series with this theme would also be released in the mainland. β
In Chen Dashao's crooked heart, at this time, the mainland is estimated to be more rigid and stereotyped, and the foreign media's reports on China are almost all unsightly, and this phenomenon will continue forever, so that thirty or forty years later, there are still people who think that mainlanders cannot afford to eat tea eggs and mustard vegetables, including voles are the main source of protein, and so on.
"Let's go, go shopping on Hongqi Street. β
"Oh. β
The entrance to Hongqi Street is still crowded, even more than in the morning.
After walking inside, it is even more incredible, it is really side by side, people next to person.
The streets are lined with shops, all of which are pot after pot of Junzi Orchid, and there are no other goods.
Each shop was crowded with people, and everyone looked at the Junzi Lan of different shapes on the shelves across the counter, all leaning forward and holding their hands high, and in that hand, they were holding handfuls of banknotes.
The scene was so lively that it could almost be described as a "scramble".
Guo Yongkun and the others only looked through the door, and had no intention of going in to join in the fun.
"It's really hot, if you look at it this way, this Junzilan's business can be done here. "Chen Dashao's natural business cells became active.
However, Guo Yongkun shook his head, "It won't last long." You look around and tell me, what do you see?"
Chen Dashao really looked around in circles, scratched his head and said, "People?"
There's nothing wrong with that, except that people are still people. The flowers are not very visible, because they are all placed in the shops, unlike the vendors who sell other goods, who are always eager to occupy the sidewalk outside the door.
Probably because Junzilan is delicate, I am afraid that there will be many people and I will damage it.
"Sick. Guo Yongkun said in a deep voice.
Chen Dashao realized a little, lowered his eyes, and realized the meaning of these two words.
Before he could fully understand, there was a sudden commotion ahead.
"Don't rob, don't rob, I'll take a fancy first!"
"What do you like, I've paid for everything!"
"Oh, young man, don't squeeze don't squeeze, uncle, I have a heart attack!"
The attention of Guo Yongkun and the others was involuntarily attracted to the past, and they all accelerated their pace, wanting to find out.
At this time, a place on the side of the street was already overcrowded, and I didn't know what the place in the center was doing, surrounded by people on the inner and outer three floors.
This is an ordinary person, and it is almost impossible to squeeze in, but fortunately, Guo Yongkun and Chen Dashao are not ordinary people.
Wang Ziqiang's four people and two bodyguards opened the road at the same time, and forcibly separated an aisle, and some people were very unhappy when they were bumped into, and they were about to scold, but when they looked back, they swallowed it into their stomachs when they reached their mouths.
I can't afford to provoke it, I can't afford to provoke it, these well-dressed guys are very promising, especially the guy in a fur coat, Xu Wenqiang doesn't dare to wear it like this.
It turned out to be a vendor selling flowers, flower seedlings to be exact, pushing a homemade tricycle with dozens of pots of Junzi orchid seedlings on it.
If you are a single fancy style, it is only the size of a palm.
And every pot of flowers seems to have an owner, and countless hands clasped on the pots, which has caused a scramble.
"Hell, do you even want to grab the little flower seedlings?" Chen Dashao rolled his eyes, and finally realized the word "sick".
This consumption is clearly abnormal.
Among the people who snatched flowers, an old man was quite conspicuous, because he was already sitting on the ground at the moment, but one hand was still firmly buckled on the flower pot, and at the same time there was another hand next to him, from a young man.
"Oh boy, you just let Uncle Jean, I'm about to have a heart attack. β
"Old things, don't rely on the old and sell the old, obviously I started first, you want to grab it as soon as you come, why?"
"You young man, you really don't know anything about respecting the old and loving the young. β
Eventually, both eyes fell on the hawker. At the same time, in front of him, he also held two handfuls of great unity, one was about five, and it seemed that the price of this pot of flowers was undoubtedly fifty yuan.
It's just that a flower seedling was sold for 50 yuan.
If you are still in the second textile factory, it is equivalent to one month's salary. This made Guo Yongkun see the madness of Junzilan.
After some hesitation, the peddler still took the old man's money, because this guy was obviously more difficult.
Although the young man was angry, he didn't say anything, turned around and left, it seemed that the transaction was all decided by the seller, and some kind of rule had been formed, even if he gave the money first, it was useless.
A cart of gentleman's orchid seedlings was almost lost in seconds, and it took some time to trade, and soon as the hawker left with the empty cart, everyone also dispersed.
Guo Yongkun and others continued to move forward.
"Uncle, give me this flower seedling, I'll give you this price. β
The old man before was next to them, and he was stopped by a middle-aged man laughing. He made a gesture that meant seventy pieces.
"Not for sale!" the old man almost didn't think about it.
"Eighty. β
"Say no, don't sell!"
The old man also called a hard man, ignored the other party at all, carefully held the flower pot, and continued to move forward.
Guess what, it was very fateful that within a few minutes, Guo Yongkun and others found the old man again, and he seemed to be stopped again.
"Old man, one hundred and twenty yuan, no one can give you this price. β
And this time, the old man was obviously a little tempted.
"You add a little more. β
"Impossible, for the price. β
The old man gritted his teeth and left.
Guo Yongkun swept left and right and said, "Follow up and take a look." β
He suddenly became interested, wanting to see how sick the local Junzi Lan was.
I just bought something on the side of the road, and before I got out of the street, I was stopped several times, and the price more than doubled.
It's not called sickness, it's madness.
Not surprisingly, a few minutes later, the old man was stopped again.
"How much do you say?"
This time, the buyer was smarter and didn't bid first.
"Two hundred. β
This uncle......
There is no mistake
