Chapter 589 Nanjing East Road
A friend from Huhai once told me that when she was eight or nine years old, she used to play outside her house when she didn't go to school, because the old houses in Huhai were very narrow and there was no place for children to play. Then she was alone at the door and broke the eaves, and was beaten, because it would leak when it rained, and it was very troublesome to repair. How tall are eight or nine-year-olds, and how short are the old houses in Huhai?
From Benbang cuisine, walk one more intersection to Nanjing East Road.
All of a sudden, it was as if entering another world, spacious, bright, atmospheric, modern, the neon lights all over the street had begun to flicker, the streets were paved with red marble, the lights were bright, the night was hazy, the streets were full of people and shops, and the doors of each mall were huge neon walls, forming a vivid pattern.
The little red eyes were about to turn into a heart shape, and he looked around in amazement. The biggest feature of Nanjing Road is the kind of century-old signboard. Sticking out of the door, the old signs made up of neon and words are full of exoticism and history.
As soon as this intersection comes out, it is Yongan Department Store, and the exotic buildings make people suddenly return to the ancient era, so that people immediately know that this is the old Huhai, and this was once the world of foreigners. The sculptures on the eaves at the bottom of the window tell the vicissitudes of history.
At this time, many buildings on Nanjing Road are not yet there, and they are all old buildings. Later Teletubbies New World had nothing in Insfiel.
Most of the goods sold in the street shops are candy and sweets, and there are also air-dried cured meat, which basically do not meet the eating habits and tastes of northerners. There are also clocks and scissors and knives, all of which are time-honored brands. There are more fashion malls, all of which are four- or five-storey buildings, and they are full of outsiders and foreigners. Locals don't come here to buy anything, it's expensive.
After walking through a few shops, because most of the things really didn't attract a few people, as soon as the interest was gone, she became even hungrier and her mouth was sweeter, so Xiaohong began to clamoring to find something to eat.
Finding something to eat on Nanjing Road is not too difficult, but it is not small, there are many snacks of all kinds, and there are almost no Chinese meals.
A few people walked along Nanjing East Road to the Bund, looking for snacks while browsing, and the snacks were taken in one hand, which can be regarded as an explanation for the stomach, so they went shopping while deceiving each other with the stomach. In fact, the buildings here are not so tall at this time, but the whole street gives people the feeling of being tall and foreign, which is an indescribable momentum. What is momentum?
Finally, a street is coming to an end, and the pedestrian street is almost to the legendary Peace Hotel, and finally I see the restaurant, the big restaurant, and the little red eyes are shining and rush over.
It's a East-meets-West restaurant, and the food here isn't sweet. That's nice.
At this time, there is no Huhai subway, the Oriental Pearl has not been built, and the famous bottle driver whisk and the like are not available, but because of the old, it is more simple, and the taste of the last century is very strong, and people can't help but fall into it, which is incomparable to those high-rise buildings. Later, it became more and more modern, higher and more luxurious, but Nanjing Road was just a road.
I don't know why so many big people are so persistent in thinking that the new big luxury is good, and that everything in an ancient China can only be experienced on paper, and what else is in the eyes? What else do we have?
A combination of Chinese and Western meals, the steak is soaked in rice soup and fried cabbage, and it is also very comfortable to eat. The four people who were full of food were not in a hurry, and came out of the restaurant and came out of the street with slightly bulging bellies. The night was thick, the lights became brighter, and the small gate in front of the huge body of the Peace Hotel seemed so deep.
At this time, when you get to the Bund, you have to pass through the underpass, and from the low and narrow underpass, there is a sculpture of Mayor Chen, smiling and waving to everyone.
At this time, the Bund has not been renovated in the later stage, but it is a narrow promenade near the river, crowded with people from all over the world. The turbid waters of the Huangpu River flow north into the sea, and the wide river surface flickers and ripples in the colorful lights. On the other side of the road is a whole row of old European-style buildings, telling everyone who comes here that this was once a foreigner's world.
Starting from the Bund, Nanjing Road is about five kilometers long, which is the so-called Shili Ocean Field in the old Huhai, and foreigners living on the Bund will pass through Nanjing Road to the racecourse ten miles away to have fun, and gradually form a prosperous commercial street.
There was a cruise on the river, and the four of them bought tickets to experience a trip on the river and took some photos. Lujiazui on the other side of the river is still barren at this time, the Oriental Pearl has not yet started, and some other major buildings have just dug a foundation.
After getting off the cruise ship, Xiaohong covered her stomach and shouted that she was hungry, and Xiaowei said, "What's wrong with you today? Didn't you eat so much just now?"
Xiaohong grabbed one of Xiaowei's arms and leaned on him, and said, "What's the matter? I think I can eat it? I haven't eaten well, and I've walked so far, look at you, let's come from Yongan Department Store, plus the Bund, how far can you look?"
Xiao Wei said: "Eat when you're hungry, where are you going to eat now?" It was already half past eight, and the four of them had already walked south along the Bund to the end, and it was pitch black in front of them.
Xiao Liu said: "Why don't you go to the City God Temple, it should not be far from here, there are all food, play and antiques or something." ”
Xiaohong turned her head and asked, "Haven't you ever been to Huhai?"
Xiao Liu said: "I haven't been here, and I'm not happy that I heard others?"
Xiaowei asked, "How do I get there?" wait for a taxi or go, and where do I go?"
Xiaohong said, "Look at the map. ”
Xiao Wei took out a folded map from his back pocket and stuffed it to Xiao Hong, saying, "Look." Xiaohong took the map and opened it, and found that she couldn't see clearly under the street lamp, knowing that Xiaowei was deliberately teasing her, and raised her hand to hit her with a few hammers.
Xiao Wei smiled and took a few punches, looked left and right, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I should go west from here, this way." It seems that there is a park, and it used to be the antique market. ”
Xiaohong was completely blind and unconditionally trusting Xiaowei, pushing Xiaowei and saying, "Then hurry up, go, go." ”
Xiaowei said, "What if I remember wrong?"
Xiaohong said, "It's okay, I believe in you." If it's bad, it's a stroll, and it's shopping anyway. ”
A few people crossed the street and walked to the opposite intersection, Gazi looked left and right and said, "Which way are you going? The big city is actually quite boring, and I am confused when I leave, what are you doing with such a big deal?" ”
