Chapter 466: Crooked Nuts Climb the Great Wall (Part I)
Oliver and Vera are looking forward to the quadrennial Games, and the couple is looking forward to climbing the most famous Great Wall of China and visiting the palace of the Chinese emperor.
As soon as Austin heard the meaning of his parents' words, he immediately invited his parents to join the travel plan for the Beijing Olympics.
In this way, a pre-booked hotel will certainly not be enough.
So, Peipei, who was the most idler, immediately contacted Miss Monica urgently and asked the other party to hurry up and book another hotel suite.
On the evening of August 4, all the pre-arrangements for the Beijing Olympic tour were finally ready, and the luggage was packed.
Early the next morning, Pei Pei and Austin had their driver, Moore, drive them to the airport.
The "Sky Shark" is already waiting for them to take off
————————————
According to the pre-agreement with the family, the first stop of the "Sky Shark" is Los Angeles City.
At the airport in Los Angeles, waiting to board the plane were not only the Li family, but also Austin's parents, the old Oliver and his wife, and Peipei's master, Mr. Peng.
The small town of Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego, where the old Oliver and his wife live, is only about two hours' drive from Los Angeles, so the old Oliver and his wife started to set off at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and after arriving in Los Angeles, they were invited by the Li family to stay at the Li house that night.
And Mr. Peng is even more for this trip to Beijing. On the 10th day after the "Triple Crown" triumphantly returned to Koizumi Villa, it was almost the same as the Li family's arrival in Los Angeles after flying back to Los Angeles from New York.
Then, Mr. Peng lived in the Li house in Malibu, and waited for the official start of the trip to Beijing with the Li family!
————————————————
Back to the point –
Early this morning, after Li Chenghua and his daughter and son-in-law contacted to confirm the boarding time, the two families arrived at the airport on time according to this scheduled time.
After Li Chenghua's family took Mr. Peng and the old Oliver couple to board the "Big Shark in the Sky", the plane continued to take off and headed for their next destination - Beijing!
After about twelve hours of air flight. The "Sky Shark" finally arrived in the early morning of August 6, Beijing time. Arrived at the destination of the trip, Beijing.
After the group got off the plane, the courtesy car team provided by the Centurion Black Gold Card was already waiting in the parking area of the airport in advance.
There are a total of three courtesy cars, one for the old Oliver and his son and daughter-in-law, and one for Li Chenghua and his wife, and the old man and Mrs. Li. Old Man Peng took his two little apprentices (Xiao Zhi and Xiao Hao) with him.
Three Cadillac limousines depart from the airport. Go straight to the direction of the hotel -
Miss Monica, Peipei's assistant centurion, as Peipei requested. The hotel for everyone is a newly completed super five-star luxury hotel near the Bird's Nest - Marco Polo Hotel Beijing.
It's hard to worry about Miss Monica - in the week before the Beijing Olympics are about to begin, a total of six high-end business rooms have to be booked for so many people.
Even in the middle of the night, Beijing, as the capital, still looks like a city that never sleeps. As you drive, you can see neon flashes everywhere.
When the luxurious and extravagant concierge team arrived at the door of this super five-star hotel, the hotel's greeting team was already waiting to greet them. In this situation, I saw the pedestrians and cars passing by at the gate and thought that some foreign state guests were visiting.
In addition to Mr. Peng, who is a single business room, Pei Pei and Austin husband and wife, old Oliver and wife, Li Chenghua and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Li, two small ones, six senior business rooms are just right.
After everyone went back to their rooms, they washed up and then began to rest and adjust to the jet lag.
————————————————
After sleeping until dawn and everyone was refreshed, they changed into simple clothes, and then according to the pre-booked itinerary, they got on the concierge team, took the tour guide provided by the hotel, and began to drive towards the Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing County, a suburb of Beijing
When the convoy arrived at the mouth of the Badaling Great Wall, it was almost 11 o'clock at noon.
After the group got off the bus, they saw that the street at the entrance of the ticket office of the Badaling Great Wall Attraction, there were all kinds of private restaurants with various signboards such as "farmhouse", "home cooking", "game restaurant", etc., in addition, there were many small shops and small stalls selling special handicrafts on the street, and some craftsmen demonstrating on the street.
At this time, everyone was also a little hungry.
Considering that the subsequent process of climbing the Great Wall was extremely physically demanding, the group discussed it and decided to fill their stomachs first, and then use sufficient physical strength to climb the Great Wall behind them.
It would be unrealistic to say that you want to find a particularly luxurious restaurant nearby at this moment.
Therefore, everyone is not very picky, especially the old Oliver and his wife, who are foreigners, especially want to try the special delicacy of the so-called "farmhouse local cuisine" in the mouth of the tour guide.
So, after the introduction of the tour guide, everyone chose a B&B restaurant near the ticket office.
This restaurant has a total of two floors, and from the outside, the whole architectural style is quite antique.
Of course, the dishes are really good, quite local flavor.
Mr. Peng especially likes to eat fried garlic sprouts with cured wild boar slices made by the owner of this restaurant, and almost half of them are covered by one person.
Before leaving, Mr. Peng even specially confessed to Pei Pei, asking her to pack a whole dried wild boar hind leg meat from the boss at an additional cost, saying that she wanted to take it back to Xiaoquan Villa and let Chef Ma use this small stove for him in the future.
The amount of meat on the hind leg of a whole wild boar is incredible. Of course, it was impossible for a group of people to climb the Great Wall with such a wild boar leg. Fortunately, the driver of the concierge team had been waiting in the parking lot area of the ticket office at this time, so Pei Pei planned to hand over the wild boar leg, which weighed more than 20 pounds, to one of the drivers and let him put it in the back compartment for them to keep.
Who would have thought that as soon as this group of people came out of the door of the restaurant, they were surrounded by local residents who surrounded them.
Finding faults?
Of course it's impossible!
The Chinese people are still very friendly to foreign guests!
People are here to solicit customers and introduce the yellow-haired, blue-eyed foreign guests and friends in this group of people to the various handicrafts with folk characteristics that they sell.
Who is called the old Oliver, and Austen's physical characteristics are so obvious! In addition, this group of people is sitting in such a luxurious concierge convoy, and the whole process of swaggering all the way here has been targeted by these nearby stall owners early in the morning.
There are still two countdowns to the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, and during this time, there has been an endless stream of yellow-haired, blue-eyed foreign tourists visiting the mouth of the Great Wall in Badaling.
These foreign tourists are particularly fond of all kinds of small handicrafts with traditional Chinese characteristics, and they are much more generous than Chinese tourists, and they do not like to bargain to the death when buying things like Chinese tourists. It's often a big red bill.
The group of local stall owners near the Badaling attraction are all in the business of tourists. Therefore, these people are also a pair of poisonous eyes that have practiced a pair of discernment. The stall owners have been in business for so many years, and in addition to seeing such a battle when entertaining state guests, this is the first time they have seen a non-state guest level foreign tourist come here in such a conspicuous luxury convoy.
So. This kind of guest is for the stall owners in the neighborhood. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of course, they have to wait at the door of the restaurant, waiting for this group of target customers to come out and sell their special handicrafts.
So, this group of people walked out of the restaurant after eating and drinking. Immediately, they were surrounded by small vendors.
Especially the old Oliver couple and Austin, who are obvious in appearance, are almost blocked by all kinds of shelves with small handicrafts hanging in the range of sight.
As soon as the clever Old Man Li and Old Man Peng saw this situation, they immediately hid in the outskirts of the crowd and left the trouble to the younger generations to solve.
Interestingly, old Oliver and Vera were really attracted by the dazzling variety of crafts in front of them, and walked all the way, asking their daughter-in-law next to them to help ask for the price.
Poor Pei Pei was still carrying a wild boar leg weighing more than 20 catties in her hand at this time, and her two younger brothers had already fled early in the morning and hid behind the grandparents and masters outside the crowd, covering their mouths and snickering and refusing to come over to help their sister share the burden.
As for Pei Pei's husband Austin, he was surrounded by small vendors and had no time to take care of it.
In this case, Pei Pei can only help her parents-in-law ask for the price, and at the same time carry the wild boar leg to open the way.
In this way, from the entrance of the restaurant to the ticket office of the attraction, this short distance of three or five hundred meters, this group of people walked for almost half an hour, and at the same time, the old Oliver couple and Austin, who were originally empty-handed, finally carried all kinds of handicrafts.
I finally got to the parking area near the ticket office, and the drivers of the courtesy car finally came to the rescue after being greeted by the tour guide. (To be continued......)
PS: I'm sorry to you, because the original chapter 459 has not been unlocked, the author can only cover the content of the chapter to chapter 460 at the suggestion of the editor, and then extend the chapter to cover and replace it. Originally, I wrote the title of the chapter in the morning as "Don't buy the book friends who have bought it before the 12th", thinking of using such a title to remind those book friends who have bought it, but who would have expected that the editor was too enthusiastic, and when I helped me revise the previous chapter names, I also changed the title of this chapter!
You must know that the author of the chapter name after entering V cannot modify it himself, and only the editor can modify it in the background. So, by the time I saw that the title had been changed, it was already the editor's time to get off work! Alas~~~~~~ if this causes repeated consumption by book friends, I am deeply sorry! In addition, in order to make up for the loss of these book friends, I will make up these words in the future post, every time I replace the anti-theft chapter.
Finally, I would like to reiterate the latest bad news - the editor said that the background system has added a lot of sensitive words, and it will scan the entire library in the near future, once a certain text contains these sensitive words, the system will automatically lock the text! I stayed up all night last night to review chapter by chapter, and two cups of clear coffee lasted until six o'clock in the morning, just found Chapter 350, and I will continue to self-check tonight, and try to get the last 100 chapters before the system review! Alas, I don't know if all the modified easter egg plots can be safely passed! headache
