Chapter Ninety-Nine: Picking Up People
Ye Chen has not felt the congestion during the National Day holiday, and has only seen it on the Internet, especially on the highway.
Therefore, high-speed rail was chosen as a fast means of transportation.
Packed up in the morning and went out in a BMW M6.
There were more cars visible on the road than usual.
"Last year's National Day, our family went to Jiuzhaigou, more than 500 kilometers, and drove for more than ten hours. Zhao Jiyang said.
"It seems that there are more people out of the city and fewer people in the process. "When I arrived at the second bridge, there was a long queue in the next lane, and Ye Chen's lane into the city was unimpeded, so I went to the high-speed rail station in advance to find a parking space and get a ticket.
It's too advanced.
Ye Chen asked his wife to teach him how to use the ticket vending machine, thinking that he would use it when he pretended to be forced in the future.
Don't brag, Ye Chen took the high-speed train for the first time, and he looked triumphant, as if he was riding his private high-speed train.
"Well, what kind of expression do you have, and the others are watching. Zhao Jiyang pursed his lips and smiled, and gently poked him twice with his fingers.
"First time on the high-speed train, fresh. ”
The speed of the high-speed rail is fast, stop once halfway, half an hour to the station not far from Rongcheng International Airport, walk over, and drink a cup of coffee, Ye Chen's phone rang.
"Hi Ye, we've gotten off the plane. ”
"What's the mouth?"
"I don't know...... Wait a minute. ”
"Go to Exit 1 and I'll pick you up outside. ”
"OK......" The two kept talking: "Oh my God, what kind of airport is this, it's too big, my brain hurts." There are many people......"
"Where?"
"Lost, wait. ”
"You're getting lost at the airport......"
"I don't want to. Wait, Exit 1 is just ahead, see me?"
Ye Chen was proud in his heart, the scale of the airport is the embodiment of a country's national strength, Connor almost got lost in the airport, so it can be imagined that the scale of the airport is not bad, it is not bad, after all, it is one of the three major airports in the southwest.
"Here. Ye Chen saw Connor, waved his hand, and walked over: "You can get lost in the airport, you can count it as okay." ”
"It's unbelievably bigger, much bigger than San Francisco Airport, with more people. Connor laughed, opened his hand and hugged Ye Chen, and introduced the man beside him: "Anderson, you know." ”
"Of course. We've played golf together and sailed on Anderson's luxury yacht. Ye Chen said and hugged Anderson, the owner of a winery in Sonoma County, who had also invited Ye Chen to manage the vineyard for him and pay him a lot of money.
"Ye, it's been a long time. You didn't say a word about returning to China, and I calculated that I would definitely dig you to work at the winery this year, which made me sad too much. Anderson patted Ye Chen on the shoulder heavily.
Ye Chen pretended to be helpless, shrugged his shoulders, and introduced Zhao Jiyang beside him: "My wife, Zhao Jiyang." We're married. ”
"Hello, beautiful oriental bride. Connor said and slapped Ye Chen, and said unhappily: "You are so uninteresting, you don't tell me when you get married, don't you be a friend." ”
"There has been no wedding yet. When the time comes, I will definitely invite you, don't make excuses to shirk. ”
The group walked out of the airport as they spoke.
According to Ye Chen's understanding, in Connor's consciousness, China is a poor and backward country, but when he sees the viaduct facilities outside the airport, there are some differences.
"Anderson, it's the busiest time for the winery, how did you think to come to China with the old bastard. Ye Chen asked.
"Drinking tea, like drinking, is addictive. Tasting good tea is like tasting good wine, I am going to open a tea ...... in my own winery."
"Tea house. ”
"Tea house. I've already found someone to design it...... After all, not all visitors to the winery can taste the wine, and if there is a good tea, it also makes the tourists who come to the winery interested. Importantly, the number of tourists visiting Sonoma is becoming scarcer, and they are all heading to Napa Valley. Anderson laughed, "It was Connor's idea." He said that it is best to come to China because it is the origin of the tea world. ”
Ye Chen gave a thumbs up: "Have vision." ”
"Hey, where is your car parked? We've been on the plane for more than ten hours, and we're tired, so hurry up and get in the car and rest." Connor yawned and said.
"Sorry, I didn't drive here. Today is China's National Day, there are too many tourists, in order to prevent traffic jams, I took the high-speed rail here. Ye Chen pointed to the high-speed rail station in the distance: "It's just ahead." Otherwise, I'll play in Rongcheng today and go to my house tomorrow. ”
"That's fine. ”
The group went back and took the subway to Chunxi Road in Rongcheng.
Coming out of the subway station, Connor opened his mouth wide, surrounded by skyscrapers and large shopping malls.
Ye Chen liked to see the gringo's ignorance, and patted him on the shoulder: "What's the matter?"
"Stunned. Connor kept his mouth shut: "How's the security over here? We just learned that there was a shooting in the United States......
"China is a country that bans guns, and it has a million hearts. ”
Zhao Jiyang searched for a good hotel nearby and booked two luxury suites in the past.
"Hey, ordered you guys a meal, we're out playing. "Wait for the two foreigners to arrange the room, Ye Chen said.
"Wait, let's take a break, wake us up in the evening, and go out for Chinese food together. Anderson said.
“OK。 ”
Going out shopping with Zhao Jiyang, Ye Chen said: "Connor has always intended to keep me in the United States to develop, and originally planned to buy the vineyard and let me help him manage it. Late last year, his stock went wrong, his money shrank dramatically, and land prices in Sonoma and Napa Valley were rising, so he shelved his plans...... That guy, who has always thought that China was backward, has been suppressed today. ”
Zhao Jiyang laughed, and dragged Ye Chen into the Longchaoshou snack bar with his hand.
Eating and shopping, one person bought two sets of winter clothes, and before he knew it, it was getting dark, and the two went back to the hotel to put down the loot, wake up Connor and Anderson, and set off for the snack street.
"God, I never imagined a city that would be so lively at night. Connor took a string of less spicy lamb ribs, muttered as he ate them, and asked his old friend Anderson to take a picture of him and post it on Twitter.
Anderson ate beef barbecue, recorded a video of himself, and tweeted: "I'm in China, Rongcheng, Chunxi Road. The food here, very, very good. People are also very friendly...... "two lively fifty-year-old gringos, as if they have never seen the world, and they can't help but make people look at them a few more times."
There are also a lot of foreigners here, blacks, whites.
Anderson grabbed a beautiful blonde: "Hey, my name is Anderson, an American, and I'm coming to China for the first time. Based on your experience, please give me a few words of advice. ”
Goldilocks waved her hand at the camera of her phone: "Are you recording a show?"
"Post it on my Twitter, if you don't mind. ”
"Of course not. My advice to you, don't try too much Chinese food when you come to China, otherwise you will fall in love with China and will not want to leave. Goldilocks said and laughed: "I Love Chinese Food! Northeast, Northwest, South, you have the best food in the bloody world!
"Oh, thanks, I won't taste too much. ”
"By the way, there are also very friendly Chinese. The blonde girl said with a smile and threw Ye Chen a flying kiss and waved away.
Connor recorded the video and laughed: "Ye, your charm is still so great, it is enviable." ”
Ye Chen's expression was distorted, he took a deep breath, Zhao Jiyang understood English, and the little vinegar altar had another attack......
Connor's laughter is even more triumphant, and he has hooked up with Anderson in the past, continuing to look for delicious food that will make people feel good.
