Chapter 136: Flower City
In this era, the "Huacheng Railway Station" is still a benchmark modern building in the city.
The main building of the railway station, which has only been completed for seven years, covers an area of more than 26,000 square meters, and a giant electric clock hangs on the square, covering an area of more than 40,000 square meters.
Although after all, it is still not as large as the scale of the Beijing Railway Station, there are some unique places that even the capital cannot compare.
Like the most fashionable things here, there are the "only two" escalators in the country at that time, in addition to "Huhai".
Few people have ever seen this advanced thing, just like a tourist "attraction", attracting many foreign tourists to stop and take pictures.
In addition, since the "Guangzhou-Kowloon Through Train" has been opened for two years, there are still many Hong Kong tourists in suits and leather shoes and fashionable clothes.
Therefore, the service performance of public facilities is also relatively intact.
For example, the station kiosk is equipped with tables and chairs for passengers to rest.
Free hot water is also available throughout the station.
As for the departure from the station, there is a large square in front of the train station, where there are not only taxis, station wagons, and motor vehicle rental stations, but also various food shops.
And don't look at the "Huacheng Railway Station" is located in Huanshi West Road, which was still a suburb at that time, but there are Liuhua Hotel, Friendship Theater and Dongfang Hotel built in the same period around it.
Across the wide road, these "Soviet-style" buildings look stylish and majestic in the uncultivated land.
On the top of the building shaded by greenery, the advertising light box can be half the size of one's own room in one word.
Once it is night, the light is strange and the candles shine on the clouds.
At that time, this was known as the "Little Paris of the East", and the business atmosphere was indeed far more conspicuous and prosperous than that of the capital.
also made Hong Yanwu's subordinates, who had never been far away, with "Thorn Mei", look at it intently and sigh all the way out of the station.
It's just that although the square is bustling with people, laughter, and all kinds of vehicles shuttling back and forth, it is a busy and lively scene, but the bad thing is that the language is not understood.
Except for Hong Yanwu, who was a little better, the rest of the people were surrounded by chattering dialects, and they couldn't even understand half of a sentence.
Moreover, the security of this city is comparable to that of the capital, and it is also a day and a place.
There are no fewer people here than on the road in "Xinxiang", and it seems that there are people who are out of the way.
As soon as they left the station, Hong Yanwu and the others drove away the two thieves in a row, as well as a few "nurseries" for the hotel to solicit customers.
But that's it, there are a few people with unknown motives around him.
These people looked at their outfits vigorously, and the suspicious beating nature made people panic and annoyed from the heart.
I'm afraid only Hong Yanwu knows it, in fact, this is already good.
Nowadays, it is true that it has not yet reached the time when the phrase "east, west, north, south, and middle, make a fortune and come to Guangdong" is prevalent in the whole country, nor has it reached the year when the tide of migrant workers is overwhelming.
Otherwise, in broad daylight, it will be possible to the point where someone dares to pounce and rob it openly!
Needless to say, the next thing to do is to find a place to set up camp quickly.
This is not only because of the tiring journey along the way, because there is too much money on you to consider safety, but also because of the weather.
It's so hot here!
When Hong Yanwu and the others set off from the capital, the capital had already reached zero degrees, but the daytime in Huacheng was still around 20 degrees.
Although they have taken off everything they can take, they can't pick up the velvet and autumn clothes inside, right?
People who are still hot are sweating.
So I didn't talk nonsense, and bought a few glasses of quick-frozen orange water in the food store next to cool down.
Hong Yanwu took the lead and led a group of people to the "Liuhua Hotel" opposite the train square and standing behind a dozen coconut trees.
They don't have a lot of money in their pockets, which makes them not like most people who shy away from big hotels and have to go through the trouble of getting around and finding cheap hotels.
When I went in and asked for the price, I took out a letter of introduction, and directly asked for a single room of 12 yuan, a double room of 15 yuan, and two triple rooms of 20 yuan, and I went to be neighbors with the Hong Kong guests.
Of course, the palatial hall, the endless flow of guests, and the courteous waiters will inevitably make a few boys who have never seen the market dizzy for a while.
Obviously, the service industry here has become a bit accustomed to putting the customer first.
However, the capital is still trying to figure out how to curb the problem of quarrels and even fights between service staff and customers.
This creates a strong and dramatic contrast.
After returning to the room, the big guys took a shower first, and some of them tasted the "Gold Medal brandy" placed in the room for Hong Kong guests with great interest.
Then they didn't eat, so they closed their curtains and threw themselves on the bed to make up for sleep.
This is no problem, who let these days be like boiling eagles, the big guys have boiled their eyes blue, and the bone frame has also been boiled apart, and "sleeping" is the first.
So, by the time the group woke up again, it was almost seven o'clock in the afternoon.
However, "one wave has not subsided and another wave is coming", they did not wake up naturally, almost all of them woke up hungry.
Finding a place to eat has become a top priority.
But no one expected that there was a restaurant in the hotel, and Hong Yanwu still couldn't go, so he had to let everyone carry two boxes of wine and leave the hotel with him to eat out.
And it was very troublesome, Hong Yanwu personally negotiated at the railway station square, called three red Honda taxis, and set off together.
followed a long detour in the city full of "five sheep bicycles" and "arcades" everywhere, and finally came to a restaurant with an ordinary appearance that could only set a dozen tables.
If anything, it's here.
The scale of this restaurant is really not large, and it even looks a little dirty inside.
You said that if you want to make a bargain, why do you still take a "taxi"? Seven yuan for a car.
No one understands why Hong Yanwu made this move.
But if you don't understand, you don't understand, all actions are under command, it is an ironclad rule, and no one dares to ask nonsense.
What's more, they are already so hungry that their hearts are close to their backs, and their attention is now on "eating", as long as they make their stomachs comfortable first, who wants to think so much?
But don't really say it, look at the inconspicuous place, there are quite a lot of customers inside.
In addition, the service is not only enthusiastic, but also gives tea when you go in, and the taste of the food is also quite good.
After a while, the dishes were served one after another, and the aroma of the first dish hooked everyone's halazi.
The first dish is "scallion oil drizzled with chicken", the chicken is drizzled with hot peanut oil, which absorbs the fresh fragrance of scallion oil and even the bones are delicious.
The second dish is the "Signature Rokuge" with a golden color, mellow, tender and juicy, which is perfect for rice.
The third course, "pineapple sour pork" is sweet and sour and crispy, which is more enjoyable than sweet and sour tenderloin, but it must be hot, otherwise it will be greasy.
Fourth, the "boiled shrimp" is a fresh taste, which is delicious, and it is not comparable to the water-born shrimp in the capital and the frozen shrimp from Jinmen.
The fifth course, "Dry Fried Beef River", uses slightly transparent pho and fried onions, and the surface looks oily and shiny.
The beef is also tender enough and fragrant. Mix a little sweet and sour chili pepper into it, it can relieve the greasy of Niuhe.
Finally, it is accompanied by a "fish head tofu soup", a "mushroom cabbage sum", and a few cases of "rice rolls", which are so delicious that people at a table can't stop at all.
Hey, after a hungry day, these boys can't even bother to drink the beer and the "big catch" of tea.
Even the "prickly plum" has a great appetite.
When they could afford to eat, they simply added fifty bowls of rice, and in a row, they went down to thirty bowls and left several stacks of empty bowls.
Then two more dishes were added.
This gluttonous and chewy look made many "old Guang" people in the neighborhood laugh when they saw it.
A kid nicknamed "Dabao" found out and couldn't help shouting with anger.
"What the hell are you laughing at? This is a rice bowl? Tea Gu'er!"
But the latter words, under Hong Yanwu's stopping eyes, swallowed back again, and had to put his mental head back on eating.
In this way, each bowl of rice is only a dime, and there are nine of them, and they have to eat ten yuan of rice.
In addition, there are more than 40 yuan of dishes, and when you calculate it at the checkout, you will eat a total of 59 yuan and 5 yuan for this meal.
Knowing the price, a few boys were shocked, because this consumption level should be at least twice as high as that of the capital, almost the salary of a third-level worker.
It's delicious, but it's not cheap.
The second group has been opened, group number: 608640021
