Chapter 50: The First Day in Lisbon
Zhao Qi has no habit of exchanging foreign currency, but he has a Bank of China bank card with a lot of money in it, and has been promoted to a VIP gold card by the bank.
There are not many functions, but there is one thing that is relatively good, and that is that it is more convenient to exchange foreign currency.
With the help of Little Bailey, Zhao Qi withdrew 200,000 euros in cash from the bank, although 200,000 euros is a lot, but most of them are 500 denominations, so it doesn't look so bloated.
And when Little Bailey watched Zhao Qi put a large bundle of euros into the small bag given by the bank, although he showed envious eyes, he did not have a trace of greed, which couldn't help but make Zhao Qi nod secretly.
It's not a loss to us Chinese!
The purchasing power of 200,000 euros is very strong, and Zhao Qi is not idle to show how rich his net worth is here, but most of the next trips are in European countries, and he will exchange some euros to avoid the embarrassing situation that he has to exchange money every time he goes to a city.
After the euro was exchanged, Zhao Qi first took Xiao Bailey back to the hotel and paid off the room for the past few days.
"Bailey, are there any good restaurants around here?" Although little Bailey can speak Chinese, but because he lives in Lisbon and has never been to China, his pronunciation and other aspects are still quite awkward, and Zhao Qi has been communicating with him in English.
"What kind of dinner would you like sir?" There are a few good local Portuguese restaurants nearby, as well as some French restaurants, Italian cuisine, etc. After seeing the money that Zhao Qi exchanged from the bank, Xiao Bailey also knew that Zhao Qi should be a very wealthy person, so the restaurants introduced were all of a relatively high grade.
"Is there a Chinese restaurant? It's been a long time since I've eaten fresh Chinese food. ”
"If you want to eat Chinese food, then you have to go to Chinatown, where my family lives, but it's far away from this place, do you want to try it?"
"Don't call me Mr. sir, I'm a little older than you, just call me Brother Qi."
"Okay. Brother Qi. Facing a rare fellow countryman, after chatting with Zhao Qi for a while, Little Bailey also knew that Zhao Qi had a very good temper, so he didn't refuse.
"I didn't expect Lisbon to have a Chinatown." The shadow of Chinese has always been uncommon in big cities abroad, such as Chinatown in New York, but Zhao Qi really didn't expect such a place to exist in Lisbon.
"Lisbon's Chinatown is located in the city of Loris, a suburb of Lisbon, where there are a lot of Chinese, and two years ago, there was a Eurón-Chinatown commercial center. There are dozens of Chinese clothing, footwear and jewelry wholesale stores, which is currently the largest Chinese wholesale center in Lisbon, with better facilities and management. After that, more and more Chinese moved there, so it was called Chinatown. Little Bailey explained.
"Well, that's a bit far, it's almost six o'clock in the evening, let's eat around here first, and tomorrow, you can take me to Chinatown for a spin."
"Okay, what kind of dinner would you like to eat, Brother Qi?"
……
Dinner was French food with little Bailey. A steak with some miscellaneous foie gras or something, Zhao Qi is still quite satisfied with what he eats. At first, little Bailey couldn't go in, insisting that as a tour guide, he wouldn't eat his employer's food, so he had to wait outside the restaurant. But Zhao Qi doesn't have so many rules. said that he didn't know Portuguese or Farley, and that he would make jokes when he ordered, but he finally pulled little Bailey in.
It was the first time to eat such a high-class French meal, and little Bailey's heart was full of gratitude. The reason is that he feels that Zhao Qi on the other side does treat him as a fellow countryman and a friend, not like those people in the past. Just think of yourself as a paid tour guide.
After dinner, little Bailey sent Zhao Qi back to the hotel.
"Brother Qi, when should I come to you tomorrow morning?" Little Bailey asked.
"I haven't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, so let's leave at nine o'clock tomorrow."
"Then I'll come back tomorrow morning, good night Brother Qi." Little Bailey politely finished speaking and prepared to leave.
"It's not early, can you go home alone?" Zhao Qi asked.
"It's okay, I've lived in Lisbon for many years and I can find my way home with my eyes closed." Little Bailey waved his hand, signaling that he would have no problem going home alone.
"You take this, it's your salary today." Zhao Qi took it out of his body and put a piece of Wu Baiyuan's euro in Xiao Bailey's hand.
"No, Brother Qi, our salaries are all paid on the last day, and you give too much." Little Bailey looked at the Wu Baiyuan euro in his hand, and immediately hurriedly returned the money to Zhao Qi.
"If you give it to you, you can take it, go home alone and be careful, I'll rest first." Zhao Qi stuffed the money into Little Bailey's pocket again, pushed him out of the door without saying anything, and closed the door.
After a while, I heard little Bailey outside say something a little choked.
"Thank you, Brother Qi."
Zhao Qi shook his head with a smile and crooked on the bed.
……
Lying on this soft big bed, Zhao Qi couldn't help moaning. During this time, he either slept on the cold sand, or slept on the uneven turtle shell of the old immortal, which could be regarded as enough to toss Zhao Qi. Feeling the big bed that he hadn't seen for a long time, Zhao Qi, who was in a daze, almost fell asleep.
But after lying down for five minutes, Zhao Qi got up, picked up the phone on the bedside and called the people in the house to report that he was safe.
After going to sea, Zhao Qi brought a satellite phone from Liu Yuanlong to him, and within three or five days, he would talk to his family on the phone to report his recent trip.
After talking to his parents on the phone, Zhao Qi dialed Lei Xi's phone again, and the little couple who had not spoken on the phone for five or six days naturally had countless topics to talk about, and when Zhao Qi finished talking to Lei Xi about his encounter with the mermaid family, Lei Xi immediately came to the spirit and told Zhao Qi to pass those pieces to her when he was free.
An hour of phone calls passed like this, and after hanging up the phone, Zhao Qi thought about it and dialed another phone.
"Hey, is it Zhao Qi?"
"Well, Jiajia, it's me. How are you doing lately? ”
……
After hanging up Li Jiajia's phone, Zhao Qi sighed helplessly, and really didn't know how to deal with the relationship between Lei Xi and Li Jiajia.
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about these questions, Zhao Qi took off his shirt and walked into the bathroom.
There is water everywhere on the sea, but it is seawater, not drinkable tap water, so Zhao Qi can be said to have not taken a bath for a long time, although his body is not very dirty, but he has not taken a bath for more than a month, and Zhao Qi can't help but be a little unbearable.
Feeling the refreshing feeling of warm water flowing over his body and the pores of his whole body being opened, Zhao Qi took a refreshing bath, and then changed into a new dress, Zhao Qi, who was just lying on the bed, immediately fell asleep in a daze.
The first day in Lisbon was a joyful one. (To be continued......)
