Chapter 03: On the first day after entering the city, I fell into a fantasy world!
As the hotel kitchen was in the morning, it wasn't very busy. In the morning, the work of preparing breakfast for the guests staying in the hotel rooms is not very tedious, and the number of people required is not very large. Normally, there are two or three people, and it is enough.
Therefore, Liu Xiaoshu, as the person in charge of the hotel kitchen, usually sleeps until about 10 o'clock in the morning, before getting up to wash up and prepare for work, and then going out to the hotel on time at about half past 10 o'clock.
Usually, before 11 o'clock, Liu Xiaoshu will show up in the hotel kitchen operation room on time, and then arrange the day's work and prepare for the new day's work.
Just as Liu Xiaoshu got up and washed up and was about to go to work in the hotel, he saw Zhang Dequan sleeping like a pig. However, there are some things that Liu Xiaoshu has to tell Zhang Dequan, so Liu Xiaoshu looked at the sleeping Zhang Dequan and decided to wake him up.
"Dequan, Dequan......" Zhang Dequan, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up from his sleep by Liu Xiaoshu.
After Liu Xiaoshu screamed for a while, Zhang Dequan, who was still in a daze, felt that someone was calling him and shaking his body.
"Why, I'm dying on the train. You let me sleep more, okay? After Zhang Dequan came back to his senses, he realized that Liu Xiaoshu was calling him, and then Zhang Dequan complained very reluctantly.
"I'm telling you, I'm going to work. When you go out, remember to close the door. I left the keys on the table and can make my own if you want something to eat. If you don't want to do it yourself, either go to the hotel or you eat out. Liu Xiaoshu admonished.
"What time is it?" Zhang Dequan sat up from the sofa. Since Liu Xiaoshu rented a one-bedroom apartment, there happened to be a sofa in the living room, so Zhang Dequan made do with sleeping on the sofa. Anyway, he only lived here for a few days with Liu Xiaoshu, and after finding a job, he would move out and live where he worked.
"It's exactly 10:30 a.m., and our kitchen has to start around 11 o'clock. Seeing that Zhang Dequan didn't understand anything, Liu Xiaoshu hurriedly explained.
"Then I won't sleep anymore, I'll go out and press the road today. When he heard Liu Xiaoshu say that it was already half past ten in the morning, Zhang Dequan felt that the time was not early, it was time to get up and go out to play, when he thought of the novelty and freshness of the city, Zhang Dequan was so excited that he didn't want to sleep.
"Didn't you just say that you were sleepy? Why don't you have a good rest now, where are you going to go? Why don't I introduce you to a few places, you can go and take a walk. What about your map? I'll mark it for you. Liu Xiaoshu took the map and marked a few famous attractions in the city that can be visited for free. And he also marked the place where they lived, lest Zhang Dequan get lost and didn't know how to come back.
"These places, and these places, you can go and visit. Liu Xiaoshu took the marked map to Zhang Dequan, and then roughly told Zhang Dequan.
"Remember to walk outside, pay attention to safety, and walk according to the car. If you want to go to our place to eat or something, but you have to come back early, it is very expensive to eat outside, and it is not as good as the food in our hotel. After Liu Xiaoshu finished speaking, he prepared to go out, otherwise he would be late for work. Even though he was in charge of the hotel kitchen, he was occasionally late and no one would say anything, but it was not good in the end.
"I'm leaving, have fun. After Liu Xiaoshu left, Zhang Dequan was the only one left in the house.
Of course, Zeng Jingru's work time is even earlier, Zeng Jingru is the manager of the housekeeping department, because the hotel has to prepare breakfast for the guests who have just gotten up in the morning, and she has to go to the hotel at 8 o'clock in the morning. By the time Zhang Dequan woke up, she had already left, and Zhang Dequan hadn't seen her at all.
After Liu Xiaoshu left, Zhang Dequan may have returned to sleepiness after a burst of excitement. Soon, Zhang Dequan fell back on the sofa and fell asleep. When I woke up again, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Dequan felt that at this time, he had to get up, so Zhang Dequan hurriedly got up and cleaned up casually, and was ready to go shopping. Zhang Dequan, who was walking on the road, suddenly realized that he was a little hungry when he saw the restaurants on both sides of the street.
Zhang Dequan thought about it, since he was going out to climb for a long time, of course he had to replenish some energy.
So after Zhang Dequan went out, he ate something in the small shop outside. When it was time to pay the bill, what Zhang Dequan didn't expect was that the things outside were indeed quite expensive.
After Zhang Dequan ate and drank enough, he took out the map, and according to Liu Xiaoshu's mark on the map, he first picked a place that he thought was more fun and closer, and then went by bus. After playing for a while, the overall feeling of this city for Zhang Dequan is that it is indeed very interesting! Because all the scenes, all the things he has seen and heard, he has never felt since he was a child.
Everything you see today, compared to their small county town, is simply a heaven and an underground, and there is no comparison at all. In the past, he always felt that their small county town was very good and very good, but today he finally knows what it is: there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people.
In fact, Zhang Dequan also visited two places today. I thought of going to other attractions, but it was not too early to see the sky. What's more, I've been too tired these days, and when I first arrived at this place, my body hasn't eased up, and I have to go back and have a good rest.
Go back tonight for a good night's sleep, recuperate and recuperate, and continue to walk around tomorrow and continue to play. Next, Zhang Dequan walked around the place he didn't know what his name was, and felt the atmosphere of life in the big city.
Zhang Dequan was on the road, walking and walking, and saw a book city in front of him. Zhang Dequan walked into this book city with curiosity. After he went in and looked east and west, he roughly visited every corner of the entire book city as if he were looking at flowers.
Zhang Dequan's impression after visiting is that the whole book city is more than the Xinhua bookstore in their county, and there are all kinds of books. There are a total of four floors in this book city, and the books displayed on each floor are different, even on the same floor, there will be different kinds of subdivisions.
What makes Zhang Dequan sigh the most is that there are all kinds of learning guidance materials, from primary school to junior high school, and then from high school to university, tutoring books at all stages. It's not just a simple one, but a lot of variety, and he now finally knows why his studies are so difficult, even if he uses all the strength to feed, he still can't catch up with the academic performance of his classmates in the city.
When they were in school, their teachers often told them that it didn't matter if children in rural areas couldn't get into a good university. Because in this world, all roads lead to Rome. At this moment, Zhang Dequan found out that their teacher was a fool back then. Now, Zhang Dequan understands that it is right for all roads to lead to Rome, but there are some people who live in the city of Rome.
There are also various novels he likes to read the most, Zhang Dequan liked to read something related to words when he was a child. However, the conditions of rural people are limited, not to mention the whole book, even the paper with words, which are pitifully few. Especially when I was in elementary school, I didn't want to talk about comic books or children's books, but it was a troublesome thing to find a piece of paper with words to learn to read.
It was this experience that made Zhang Dequan a frequent visitor to this book city for a long time afterward. Because Zhang Dequan felt that no matter what, he had to make up for the things that he had not been able to enjoy before.
What annoys the bookstore salesperson, though, is that many times he just comes to see the book, not to buy it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Dequan stayed in the book city for a long time. When I remembered that I was going to the hotel for dinner, it was already dark outside. It seems that I will definitely miss the meal when I go back now. So he simply read the book for a while before going back.
When he returned to where Liu Xiaoshu lived, he didn't expect Liu Xiaoshu to come back from work. He had just arrived in the city, he was not wearing a watch, nor was he carrying a mobile phone, and his sense of time was very poor, which was expected. Because of these things, he didn't even think about it.
"Why did you come back so late, if you don't come back, I'm going to look for you. Looking at Zhang Dequan, who had just entered the door, Liu Xiaoshu said with a smile. Liu Xiaoshu smiled because he saw his shadow from Zhang Dequan.
"In the future, I'll have to come back early. You came back so late, have you eaten outside?" Zeng Jingru came out of the bedroom and asked Zhang Dequan with concern.
"I've been reading in the book city just now, and I wanted to come back in a hurry. In the end, I didn't expect to miss the time, on the way back, I just thought about hurrying, and I haven't eaten yet!" When Zeng Jingru asked, Zhang Dequan remembered that he hadn't eaten anything since noon.
"You're really, so playful, you don't know how to eat. It seems that you, like your little brother, are stupid masters who only know how to play. After hearing Zhang Dequan say that he hadn't eaten yet, Zeng Jingru said in great surprise.
"How can this be! People are iron, food is steel, and the body is the most important thing, don't do this in the future!" Hearing Zhang Dequan say that he hadn't eaten dinner until now, Liu Xiaoshu couldn't help but criticize Zhang Dequan.
"That's it! If something goes wrong with hunger, your parents still think that me and your little brother don't take care of you, treat you badly, and don't give you food!" Hearing Liu Xiaoshu's words, Zeng Jingru jokingly threatened Zhang Dequan. told Zhang Dequan that if he didn't eat, she and Liu Xiaoshu would also be implicated at that time.
"I'll go and see if there's anything to eat at home. After Liu Xiaoshu finished speaking, he walked towards the kitchen, then turned back and rummaged in the refrigerator for a while. He found a few eggs and a bag of noodles, and finally found a bag of dumplings in the refrigerator.
"Dequan, do you eat noodles and eggs, or dumplings? Liu Xiaoshu picked up the things and asked Zhang Dequan to choose one of the two.
"Let's eat somen noodles and eggs. Seeing the things in Liu Xiaoshu's hand, Zhang Dequan replied casually.
"Just let your little brother Shu, our chef Liu, fry a fried noodles for us to eat. After finishing speaking, Zeng Jingru shouted at you in the kitchen: "Husband, you make more, I haven't eaten the fried noodles you made for a long time, and I'm hungry, so I want it too." ”
"No problem, make sure it's enough!" Liu Xiaoshu replied briskly in the kitchen.
At this time, it came to eat. Zhang Dequan remembered that he brought them hometown specialties from his hometown. He hurriedly went to find his luggage and took out the contents of it. The things Zhang Dequan brought include bacon from his hometown, as well as tea and tofu from his hometown. I used to hear Liu Xiaoshu say that these things are sold outside, but they are not as good as those in my hometown. When he came here this time, Zhang Dequan's mother asked him to bring some by the way.
Indeed, although the city people are rich, they are not necessarily as good as the rural people. For rural people, they drink Nongfu Spring, eat organic vegetables, eat eggs from homegrown eggs, and these chickens grow up eating whole grains. Not only do these chickens eat well, but they also go to the mountains every day, go for a fitness walk in the forest to breathe fresh air, and drink Nongfu Spring when they are thirsty.
Zeng Jingru, who was watching the TV series, was also very happy to see the hometown specialties brought by Zhang Dequan. Because she also likes to eat bacon, she doesn't like tofu milk, but it's still very good to use it as an appetizer.
"No wonder I was carrying your bag yesterday, it was so heavy. At this time, Zeng Jingru knew that yesterday's bulky bag turned out to contain these sustenances.
"Husband, do you know your cousin, what did he bring you?" At this time, Zeng Jingru, who was excited, waved towards the kitchen and shouted in the direction of the kitchen.
"What's it?" Liu Xiaoshu, who couldn't figure out the situation, was also very curious and walked out of the kitchen.
"Yes, yes! I like it. Liu Xiaoshu, who came out, was also very happy after seeing things.
…………
It didn't take long for the steaming fried noodles to be brought out of the kitchen by Liu Xiaoshu, and then he brought the dishes and chopsticks, and divided the fried fried noodles into the bowls of the three of them.
At this time, the three of them were sitting in front of the TV, watching TV dramas and eating fried noodles at the same time. I don't know when, Liu Xiaoshu opened the tofu brought by Zhang Dequan. It wasn't until he picked the tofu into the bowls of Zeng Jingru and Zhang Dequan that the two of them remembered that there was still the matter of tofu.
"You're a rat or a cat, and you have such a good sense of smell. Seeing Liu Xiaoshu put the tofu into his bowl, Zeng Jingru asked in surprise.
After listening to Zeng Jingru's words, Liu Xiaoshu at this time could only smile and not answer.
When I'm done with the fried noodles, it's not too early.
After packing up, the three of them were ready for bed.
After Zhang Dequan ate and drank enough, he took a shower and lay on the sofa, only to feel that he was really a little tired, especially his old legs, which were very sore.
Soon, before he knew it, he was asleep.
