Chapter 410: Breaking through the barricades
Although HK has become less mysterious after the return, and there are still a large number of people who come here to travel and shop, Zhang Tianyuan has never been here, so for him, this city is still very unfamiliar, and it can even be said that it is a little disappointing, it is far worse than he imagined before, not only crowded, but also there is no novelty, what you see here, you can see it in the mainland now.
At this time, Zhang Tianyuan's car was parked on a bustling street, and it can be clearly seen that both sides of the road are a mixture of colonial buildings and modern high-tech buildings.
Crowded, this is Zhang Tianyuan's first feeling, when he is in the room, it is fine, because he can't see the outside, so he doesn't have an intuitive feeling, but after getting outside, this feeling of crowding as if squeezed under the small patio is too obvious. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, narrow streets, and people walking on the road are like piles of busy ants, dense, making people feel breathless.
Especially Zhang Tianyuan used to grow up in the countryside, although the conditions are a little harder, but the field of vision is very broad, standing on the high slope of the loess, looking around, there are green mountains and green waters, and green wheat fields, you will suddenly feel comfortable, but here it is completely different, giving people the feeling of being depressed or depressed.
If there is anything that makes Zhang Tianyuan feel fresh and intimate, it is those lightbox advertisements received on both sides of the road, on those lightbox advertisements. Zhang Tianyuan can vaguely see the shadow of Hong Kong films in the past, especially those HK movies. It is written in traditional Chinese characters with the words "massage loose bones". is exactly the same as what Zhang Tianyuan saw in the movie before. There is a sense of anxiety and urgency on everyone's face in the midst of the endless flow of people, a bit like some of the big cities in the north, where people seem to spend their days on the go.
But it's a little different from Nandu. Nandu can be said to be the big city where Zhang Tianyuan has stayed for the longest time, where people are more leisurely, and the pace of life is relatively slow, many people are still playing mahjong and drinking tea in the mahjong room after work, which is completely a slow-paced life. You can't find that feeling here, it seems like everyone is desperately busy with life.
After Liu Mengxun changed his clothes, Zhang Tianyuan drove the car back to the road, the road here is not bad, otherwise, Zhang Tianyuan would definitely mistakenly think that this is a small county town.
When they passed through Central, they ran into trouble again, apparently on the highway for cars. There were some miscellaneous items piled up all over the place, as well as barricades, and some students were sitting on the road, eating at the same time. While chatting happily.
"Back then, our school organized events to welcome foreign heads of state, and we were happy because we didn't have to go to school. And money to take. What to do, we can't get by. Zhang Tianyuan glanced back at Liu Mengxun and asked.
"Let's take a detour. You can't provoke these people, after all, they are all students. Regardless of whether they were instigated or not, they were still young after all. "Liu Mengxun is from Baodao after all, so he is very sympathetic to these students.
The corners of Zhang Tianyuan's mouth showed a sneer.
I don't care what you do, and I don't want to express my opinion, but I just can't block Lao Tzu's way, otherwise, I'm sorry.
"Wait a minute, it's going to take another half an hour if you have to take a detour. After Zhang Tianyuan closed the car door, he got out of the car, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, and directly threw the roadblock aside.
When he was doing this, someone came to stop him, but Zhang Tianyuan didn't pay attention to them at all, how to get it.
Someone came over and tried to pull Zhang Tianyuan away, but Zhang Tianyuan directly slapped him and threw him away.
"Remember to Lao Tzu, you do your business, Lao Tzu can't take care of it, but if you block Lao Tzu's way, it won't work. ”
He didn't care about the crying student at all, after getting into the car, he was ready to drive over, who would have thought that there were students blocking the road, and he had to close the barricade, he directly caught fire, opened the accelerator to the maximum, and rushed over directly.
The car stopped in front of the student, so frightened that the student urinated on his pants on the spot, and Poofon sat on the ground.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't care about any of this, retreated the car, and yelled at the students: "Hurry up and move that nest away, otherwise Lao Tzu will really press it over." ”
Looking at Zhang Tianyuan's resolute expression, the students were really frightened, these people were just bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and hurriedly pulled the students who were scared and incontinent to the side. Zhang Tianyuan sneered and drove away.
Of course, in order not to cause trouble for the Nie family, Zhang Tianyuan changed the license plate when he passed here. This car has two license plates, one is a military license plate, and the other is an ordinary license plate, which does not need to be disassembled, only need to operate a button inside the car, and the outside license plate will be automatically changed.
In fact, according to Zhang Tianyuan's temperament, he doesn't want to change it, but anyway, this car is not his, and he can't cause trouble to others, right?
After arriving at the hotel, Liu Mengxun took a shower and rearranged her clothes, and then left with Zhang Tianyuan, saying that she was going to meet her friends.
The car drove to Central again, it was still the same road, the barricades had been re-placed, Zhang Tianyuan still rushed over in the same way, this time it was much easier than the last time, no one dared to stop him, everyone knew that he had a bad temper.
After that, the car turned into a more bustling street, and you could see that there were many luxury shops on both sides of the street, and there were more than 20 jewelry stores alone, and there were many customers. Zhang Tianyuan thought that these were local guests at first, but Liu Mengxun told him that those were actually guests from the mainland, and this kind of luxury is now the most consumed in the mainland.
"No, there are also jewelry stores in the mainland, why are they running here without anything?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with some puzzlement.
"Many people still think that HK things are cheap and good, which is a view that has been formed for decades. Where can I change it in a while? It is estimated that this concept will slowly change in a few decades. So I think if you're in the jewelry business. Or try to choose places like Baodao and HK and Macau, which are not so hot in the mainland jewelry industry. Even mainland tourists like to shop in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Liu Mengxun explained for Zhang Tianyuan: "Just park the car on the side of the road in front of you, there is a place to park, there are five jewelry stores in the neighborhood that are our family, I made an appointment with a friend to eat Western food nearby." ”
"This place is Mong Kok, I've seen it on TV. Zhang Tianyuan can vaguely be recognized, because Mong Kok is a place where there are a lot of exits in Hong Kong films.
"Yes, it used to be just a potholed. But now they are all high-end hotels, and you can eat seafood, mainland food, and Western food at will. Liu Mengxun replied with a smile.
When speaking, Liu Mengxun also deliberately grabbed Zhang Tianyuan's arm, this practice seems to be not very fashionable in the mainland, but it seems to be a very normal thing in HK, as if a woman does not hold a man's arm, it will not show intimacy.
Passing by a hotel, you can see a lot of luxury cars parked in front of the door, but this is not new. Nowadays, there are no fewer luxury cars parked in front of mainland hotels than here.
"Let's go inside. Liu Mengxun said with a smile.
"Aren't you going to eat Western food?"
"There is everything in this hotel, seafood, mainland food, treasure island food, Hong Kong food, Western food, everything, and there is a special western restaurant after entering. Liu Mengxun introduced.
"Oh. I see. Zhang Tianyuan felt that he was really a bit of an old hat, although it was true that he was rich now, but he really didn't have many places to go. Especially until now, I haven't even been out of the country. The farthest place to go is Treasure Island, this time to HK. It's just the first time.
As soon as I entered the hotel, I passed by the place where I ate Chinese food, and I could see a lot of people eating around the table and chatting. Zhang Tianyuan suddenly felt as if he had walked directly into the vegetable market, the crying of children, the scolding of mothers, and the chatting of adults were intertwined, which was extremely noisy.
For a moment, he thought he was in the wrong place.
"Is this a hotel? Confirm that it is not a food stall?" Zhang Tianyuan has not been to a hotel, and the slightly higher-grade hotels in the mainland are much quieter than here.
Where are the people here eating, the whole group is chatting and bragging, all kinds of languages are on the same page, Zhang Tianyuan can understand no more than three, that is, Mandarin, Shaanzhou, English, he doesn't even know Cantonese, let alone Chaozhou dialect, and some weird southern dialect mixed with accents from all over the world.
If you want to know how rich the language is in our country, then you don't have to go so much, just come to HK, where almost all the accents and languages of the South are gathered. Many people think that southerners all speak Cantonese, but in fact, there are also Hokkien dialects and Hokkien dialects, which are all different. Zhang Tianyuan's classmate Lu Xiao is from Nanxun, and he only learned so many things from Lu Xiao.
In fact, when it comes to language, as far as Shaanxi is concerned, the accents spoken by people in northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and southern Shaanxi are very different. Even in Guanzhong, the accents in many places are very different, and Zhang Tianyuan has experienced the embarrassing experience of being from Guanzhong, but they can't understand each other's words, not to mention how embarrassing it is.
The official languages of HK are Chinese and English, while the Government's language policy is "biliteracy and trilingualism", i.e. Chinese vernacular and English in writing, and Cantonese, Putonghua and English in spoken language.
Cantonese is the main language spoken by the Chinese population in Hong Kong, while English is the communicative language of the non-Chinese population, and most of the residents of Hong Kong are not indigenous residents, and people who have migrated from the mainland of China and around the world for more than 100 years have brought the language of their home to HK.
In fact, Zhang Tianyuan is not very disgusted by the noise in this kind of eating and drinking culture, but feels very lively, when the village used to hold red and white ceremonies, there were many people who went to eat, that is called a lively, outside is singing a big opera, next to it is a fist, everyone chatted loudly, everyone had a smile on their faces.
It's a feeling of uninhibitedness.
Nowadays, there are many people who say that people in our country are noisy and not quiet enough when eating, and of course, if you go abroad, you should also follow the local customs. But on your own turf, you don't have to care so much, you just want to eat quietly and choose a private room by yourself, there is no need to join in the excitement, and you will not be happy to eat in the end.
In fact, when many foreigners go to the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, they will also follow the local customs. For example, when Zhang Tianyuan walked to the western restaurant this time, he saw several tables of foreigners chatting there, looking like they were locals. (To be continued......)
