Chapter 95: The Crystal Tower is still the old Beijing

Lin Xia and his entourage finally arrived at the Crystal Tower before dark under Harper's hurried journey.

Lin Xia already knew that the Crystal Tower was not a building, but a city. I have also imagined a lot of crystal towers, and since this place is named Crystal Tower, there must be many crystal statues. Even if it wasn't crystal, Tang "invented" glass here, at least there should be a lot of glass buildings.

But after entering the crystal building, Lin Xia saw a scene that he hadn't imagined at all. What is the situation of this red wall and green tile, and it is obvious what is going on with the building of the courtyard house all around.

Where is this crystal building, isn't this the old Beijing?

The architectural style of old Beijing made Lin Xia feel very intimate, but the scene of this group of white-skinned foreigners with all kinds of hair shuttling through old Beijing made Lin Xia feel very incongruous.

Entering the Crystal Building, the carriage drove slowly on the streets of the Crystal Building, and I have to say that this place is really like the old Beijing I saw in the TV series in my previous life. There are also signs at each intersection, with street and road names written on them, and Lin Xia has seen Shanghai Road, Tianjin Road, Chang'an Street, Ping'an Street, and other well-known streets in the previous life.

The carriage entered a very prosperous street, this street was stopped by the sheriff, and the carriage was not allowed to pass, Lin Xia saw the name of this street from afar: Wangfujing Pedestrian Street.

Harper took a different route in the carriage and continued on his way, looking for a suitable hotel. Although Harper didn't know the specific identities of the two people in the car, he also knew that the identities of these two people were not ordinary, and he always had to find a good place to stay.

The carriage entered a street on the side of Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, and as soon as he entered, Lin Xia had a black line on his face, and he saw the sign just now that read: "PT Hutong". Tang, Tang, are you worthy of Mr. Guo?

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a large hotel, and Lin Xia got out of the carriage and saw the name of the inn: Crescent Hotel. According to Harper, the Crescent Hotel has a history of more than 200 years and is still the name of Tangding.

Lin Xia really couldn't stand it, did the tomb robbery notes cross, and returned the Crescent Moon Hotel.

The Crescent Hotel has a special waiter to provide carriage parking services, and for such a parking service, Lin Xia was too lazy to complain anymore, and went directly into the Crescent Hotel.

This crescent hotel is very large, with restaurants and accommodation. The interior style is also the Ming and Qing Dynasty style of China, with light mahogany tables and chairs, which look very luxurious and have no rustic feeling.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them dined in the restaurant, and when the waiter brought the menu, Lin Xia glanced at it, and there were a lot of Chinese dishes, but after being translated into Charlemagne, the name was a little vague.

Lin Xia didn't care what Jona and Harper wanted to eat, and directly ordered four dishes and one soup: braised pork ribs, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, and crucian carp tofu soup.

But after the dishes came up, Lin Xia hurriedly tasted each dish, although the appearance and ingredients were not much different from Huaxia cuisine, but the taste was very different, and the taste was obviously focused on the taste of Charlemagne's continent.

It's no wonder that if it is a Chinese taste, people in Charlemagne's mainland can't get used to it, just like the Sichuan cuisine in China in the previous life, after leaving Sichuan, it is not spicy.

After Lin Xia tasted each dish, he lost interest. Harper and Jona were very happy, after all, the four dishes and one soup were still a novelty for them.

After Harper finished eating, he went to open three rooms, two of which were for long stays and one for one day only.

Originally, Harper didn't plan to stay at the Crescent Hotel, the cost here was too high, and Harper wanted to stay in an ordinary hotel near the city gate, and set off the next day.

But Lin Xia still let Harper stay here for a day, Harper and Lin Xia walked together for three days, and they were considered familiar, and of course Lin Xia would not treat him badly.

Harper remembered his old man Gomez, who had slammed the door to the extreme, and tears were about to fall.

The cost of the Crescent Hotel is indeed very high, and the three people live in the most ordinary rooms, even the most ordinary rooms, each cost three silver coins.

Because there were only two gold coins given by Gomez, Lin Xia felt that he didn't know how long he would live in the Crystal Tower, and he didn't want to live in such an expensive place, but Jona was full of interest and must stay in the Crescent Hotel.

When Lin Xia talked about the lack of gold coins, Qiao Na happily said to Lin Xia: "We can continue to sing and make money, the people in the Crystal Building have money, and they must give a lot." ”

Looking at Jona's appearance, it is likely that she deliberately spent all her money because she wanted to sing.

After eating, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest.

Lin Xia entered the room, although the room was the most ordinary in the Crescent Hotel, in fact, it was the cheapest room, but it was still very large, not at all like the standard room in the previous life, with only two beds.

The style of the room is still Huaxia Chinese, with a large mahogany bed and a round table with teapots and teacups. Lin Xia's first feeling was the same as the room in the cave room on TV. When the newlyweds enter the room, they always go to the round table for a drink before they start to be ashamed.

Lin Xia walked to the round table and sat down, and found that there was tea here, not Charlemagne's tea, but authentic Chinese tea. The shape of this tea leaf is very similar to the Longjing tea in the previous life.

Sitting alone in this room even gave Lin Xia an illusion, as if he had not traveled to the Charlemagne continent, but to ancient China.

Lin Xia shook his head and smiled, called the waiter to bring boiling water, Lin Xia made a cup of "Longjing", but unfortunately although it looks like Longjing and the taste is also very fragrant, it is not the taste of Longjing.

After drinking tea, Lin Xia washed up and slept.

Early the next morning, after Lin Xia and Jona sent Harper away, they planned to walk around the Crystal Tower.

Since this place is the same as old Beijing, Lin Xia's goal is, of course, to go to Sanlitun, he wants to see if Sanlitun has the legendary Qinglou.

But Qiao Na strongly asked to go to Wangfujing Pedestrian Street, Lin Xia had no choice but to follow Qiao Na, as for Sanlitun, there will be opportunities in the future.

When they arrived at Wangfujing, the two walked into the street, and there were a dazzling array of shops on both sides of the road, selling almost everything, and there were even signboards like Zhang Xiaoquan and Tongrentang that Lin Xia was familiar with in his previous life.

The two walked casually, and when they saw a novel shop, they went to take a look, and soon Lin Xia saw a place selling glass products. Lin Xia took Jona over, and there were various styles of glassware, including common cups, wine bottles, and even some artworks.

The shop is luxuriously decorated, and there are a lot of candles in the vicinity, and the glass products that shine brightly are shining. Jona's eyes lit up and she couldn't get enough of some of the artwork made of glass.

Lin Xia looked at Qiao Na's appearance, and once wondered if Qiao Na liked shiny things so much, could it be a legendary dragon, and he didn't know if there was a dragon like a big lizard in this world.

It's a pity that the glass products here are still very rough in Lin Xia's opinion, and there are a lot of impurities in the glass, this thing is also sold in Charlemagne's continent, if it is placed in the previous life, it will be thrown into the trash can.

Lin Xia casually asked the price, an ordinary glass with impurities actually cost five silver coins, a wine bottle cost seven silver coins, and no single work of art was below a gold coin.

Is this a money grab, Lin Xia muttered psychologically, and asked the store to know that the production of glass is very low, which leads to the high price. And if you need to make a purchase, you need to make a reservation in advance.

Qiao Na was pulled out by Lin Xia, Lin Xia wondered why Qiao Na liked glass so much, with her family background, it should be very common for her to have a few glass products at home.

Later, I saw soap, soap, sugar, and high-grade liquor on Wangfu Street, and the most annoying thing was that the liquor was very shameless with the brands of Moutai and Wuliangye.

These "high-tech" things are currently only produced in the Crystal Tower, and every year the merchants of the whole continent have to buy here, and the Crystal Tower has naturally become the commercial center of the whole continent, and it is no wonder that the people in the Crystal Tower are rich.

It was noon to wander around, and the two had lunch at "Quanjude". Although it is called Quanjude, it is not a roast duck, but an ordinary Charlemagne's restaurant, and it is also a small restaurant. However, according to the owner of this restaurant, it used to be a smash hit hotel, but after more than 200 years, it was not well managed, and finally became an ordinary restaurant.

After lunch, in a square on Wangfujing Street, Qiao Na patted Lin Xia and said, "Take out the guitar." ”
