Chapter 137: Family Tour of the Capital (Part II)
At half past three o'clock in the morning the next day, the tour guide Xiao Wang came over to remind everyone to get up, clean up and dress up, and rush to Tiananmen Square to wait for the flag-raising ceremony. Accompanied by two old people, although the process of waiting in line was hard, when the national flag guards and flag bearers came solemnly, the national anthem was played, and the national flag was raised...... Without any patriotic education, the love and respect for the motherland and the nation have already poured out for thousands of miles, and tears have unconsciously welled up in our eyes.
I don't know how many flag-raising ceremonies the three young people participated in during their school years, and they all had the experience of being flag-raisers with excellent academic performance, but that experience and feeling were very different from the emotions of watching the national flag go up from afar at this moment. The excitement and sincere emotions of the four elders of grandmother, grandmother and parents made the three young people feel that the hard work and waiting - it was worth it!
The flag-raising ceremony is over, and the sun is already shining in the square. Qi Jingtao saw that his grandmother and grandmother were in good physical and mental condition, and did not go back to the hotel not far away to rest, and asked Xiao Wang to arrange the morning excursion as planned.
Ascending to the Tian'an-Gate Tower and visiting the Forbidden City, his task is still photography. When he is resting, he can always bring out some fruits to replenish everyone's energy to ensure that his grandmother and grandmother are physically strong enough to hold on.
At noon, the whole family came to the Quanjude main store on Qianmen Street to taste the famous Beijing roast duck, and by the way, let the two old people who got up early take a break.
"Why is the roast duck here so big and fat? It's really different from our roast duck in central Yunnan!" When Chen Huifen saw the roast duck in Beijing, she couldn't help but start comparing it with the roast duck she was familiar with in her hometown.
"Auntie, Beijing Quanjude roast duck, they all use Beijing stuffed duck to roast. Quanjude roast duck is about 6 catties each, which is different from the duck we use in Yunnan to roast about 2 catties. Xiao Wang smiled and explained to everyone the characteristics of Beijing's special food.
"Let's eat, everybody. Duck is a negative food, and it is easy to return to the fish when it is cold, so try to eat roast duck while it is hot. Dr. Cheng advises everyone to start eating, after all, everyone is already hungry when they wake up early. After lunch, she suggested that everyone go back to the hotel and rest properly. It is her main responsibility to ensure the health of the two elderly people, and she has to do her job well.
At the end of a meal with a completely different flavor from the roast duck in central Yunnan, the Qi family tour group went back to the hotel to rest and recuperate.
Seeing that her grandmother and grandmother had rested, Qi Jingtao, who was still in good spirits, came to the room of Qi Zhengming and his wife to ask for instructions: "Parents, you are resting in the hotel, and we will take Linlin to go shopping in the shopping mall and buy some clothes that she needs in the capital." ”
"You're young, you're in good health, go if you want to, have fun. Here are Xiao Wang and Dr. Zheng, you don't have to worry about it. Qi Zhengming said with a smile.
"The north is different from our south, and the winters are very cold. You can help Linlin prepare a few more sets of winter clothes. Chen Huifen was worried about her daughter who wanted to stay in the capital to go to college, and unceremoniously asked her son to prepare winter clothes for her daughter, the more the better.
"Don't worry, we'll help Linlin get ready. Qi Jingtao agreed to his mother's request and went out.
I got up early for two days in a row, and my mental state was always excited, Qi Zhengming and Chen Huifen were also a little tired, and they were not interested in shopping. The two old men are nearly eighty years old, and this time they can come to the capital, maybe it will be the last time they go out, and the couple is also worried that the two old people are tired, or to rest.
Besides, if you finally come to the prosperous place of the capital, you should also give the three young people some space for free activities. It's okay for his son and daughter to say that Su Min is the future daughter-in-law after all. People should be more free when they come here, and they can't always accompany a few elders to hang around, right?
Qi Jingtao and Su Min, who were freed, explained a few words to Xiao Wang and Dr. Zheng, and asked them to take good care of the elderly. Then, he took Qi Lin out of the hotel and took a taxi straight to the shopping center in the capital.
All three of them came to the metropolis for the first time, and they yearned for the prosperity and fashion of the metropolis. Especially now that they have no shortage of money, they plan to experience the fun of shopping in the metropolis.
When they come to the capital, they don't have to worry about finding a good place to spend money. The taxi drivers in the capital are Kanye, and as long as you have the money, they can send you anywhere you can.
It is already autumn in the capital, and Qi Lin has to prepare some autumn and winter clothes if she wants to stay here to go to college. In the southern city of central Yunnan, it is difficult to buy the clothes you need. And it is much easier to come to the capital, which is also the main purpose of Qi Jingtao's coming out this time.
In Wangfujing, in Xidan, Qi Jingtao and Su Min happily took Qi Lin to stroll, shop, eat snacks in the capital, and have a lot of fun.
Qi Lin took Su Min's arm and said with a smile: "Sister, my clothes are enough, you can buy more and bring them back." ”
"Well, five sets of clothes in autumn are almost enough, and I only bought one set in winter, and then look for it, at least two or three sets must be prepared. Su Min said with a grin and looked back at Qi Jingtao who was helping them carry their bags.
"It's not time yet, there aren't many styles of winter clothes, and most of them are old. Just buy one or two sets and get ready. When it was winter, let Linlin buy it herself when the new model was really launched. Qi Jingtao responded casually, his voice was no longer so cheerful.
Qi Jingtao finally realized the horror of shopping with a woman, with his physical fitness, his feet are numb now, his eyes are crazy, and he can't walk. Fortunately, he still has room for rings, and the things in his hands can always fit into two small-looking bags, so he doesn't need to hang shopping bags all over his body, and he doesn't look so embarrassed.
And Su Min and Qi Lin, who were walking in front, stepped on high heels, still with relaxed steps, as if they were strolling leisurely in various shopping malls and shops, without getting tired.
"Linlin, going to school in the capital, you don't have to be too economical in dressing. Just go out and walk around, and if there is anything suitable, you can buy some yourself. Su Min is very sister-in-law and gives ideas to her future sister-in-law.
"Hehe, sister, don't worry, it's convenient for me to come to these places in the future. You have such a good body and complexion, and I remember the size. If there are any new clothes on the market, I bought them for you and sent them back. ”
"Leave me alone, just take care of yourself. Your brother doesn't seem to be able to do it, let's go back soon, there's still time. ”
Qi Jingtao heard that he could go back, and he was happy: "Hehe, you can still hold on." But it's almost time, don't worry grandma and grandma, let's go back. ”
"Then go to Ruifuxiang to see the cloth products, buy some suitable things for grandma and grandma and go back, soon." Su Min said euphemistically, and took Qi Lin into the antique Ruifuxiang to continue to stroll.
"Buying and selling can endure harmony and make money, regardless of whether rich or poor are treated in the same way; buying and selling are familiar with the main way, smiling at the counter, don't be sleepy and don't be in a daze, how can you not get rich in such a business?"
Cross talk master Hou Baolin's "Buying and Selling Songs" vividly depicts the old merchants' business methods of not deceiving and making money in harmony. From ancient times to the present, merchants have taken "making money in the right way" as the creed of doing business, and because of this, the century-old name "Ruifuxiang", which is second to none on Tianjin Yiyi Street, is still praised by people.
"Buy cloth and put ruler" is Ruifuxiang's business experience, that is, customers to Ruifuxiang to buy cloth, buy a foot to a foot an inch, buy a zhang to a foot a foot, this practice, for Ruifuxiang to attract a large number of ordinary customers with low purchasing power. This is the hospitality of Ruifuxiang, a cup of strong fragrant tea, with a "thank you for patronizing" gratitude, with a respect for "food and clothing", Tianjin craftsmen bring customers a delicate care without pretentiousness...... How can this kind of business not be prosperous and how can it not be rich?
Qi Jingtao has long been familiar with Ruifuxiang's name, since he has come to the gate of the main store, how can he not go in and have a good experience! No matter how tired he is, he has to hold on, sacrificing his life to accompany a woman shopping is a compulsory course for men, hold on!
What's more, his future wife wants to show filial piety, and it is his grandmother, grandmother, and parents who are still honored. This must be fully supported and happily followed. Today's opportunity is rare, while there are still two senior staff officers present to buy more, this is the most suitable national famous brand for middle-aged and elderly people!
