Celestial Empire SH City

SH, located on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the center point of the north and south coasts of the Celestial Empire, is part of the alluvial plain of the C River Delta, once known as the magic capital of the Celestial Empire, is one of the four major magic capitals in the world, and is as famous as NY in country M, D Jing in country R, and LD in country Y.

The passenger plane landed at SH Hongqiao International Airport, and the ambassador of the embassy of country M in China personally brought his secretary to pick up the plane from BJ, and everyone was arranged to stay in the airport terminal hotel. It was still night, and because of the large number of people who came, the three of Rick were divided into a three-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom suite.

"The Celestial Empire Hotel is really luxurious, the decoration is also very good, and the supporting facilities are perfect." Lillian walked out of the bedroom and into the living room and complimented.

The huge crystal lamp in the living room exudes the light of the aristocracy, but this is only the uniform standard of the Celestial Empire Hotel. Refrigerator, color TV, central air conditioning, water dispenser, independent bathroom, desktop computer, free Wi-Fi. On one side of the living room is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and Lilian can't help but sigh when she pulls open the blackout curtains and sees the bustling world outside.

"Hello, guests from country M, this is your meal, please open the door to pick up the meal" The waiter knocked on the door and said in fluent English.

Mr. Pat opened the door, the waiter pushed the cart in, put down five dishes, one soup and three portions of rice on the dining table in the living room, and a plate of cut fruit, "There are drinks in the refrigerator, the TV is voice-controlled, there are disposable toiletries in the bathroom, the wireless network is full coverage without password, if there is anything else, there is a landline phone in each bedroom that can be called directly to the front desk, please use it slowly!" After the waiter finished speaking, he pushed the dining cart and retreated, delivering food to the next suite. On the dining table, there are knives and forks used for Western food, as well as spoons and chopsticks commonly used by Oriental people.

"I love it here!" Lilian opened the double-door refrigerator, saw the neatly arranged drinks inside, picked a bottle of pulse, unscrewed the lid and tasted it, and said, "The Celestial Empire drink tastes good!" ”

After eating, Rick and Pat went back to their respective rooms to rest, and Lilian watched TV in the living room by herself, and the live TV of the TV was in Chinese, and Lilian couldn't understand it, so she switched to online TV to watch movies, listening to the actors speaking Chinese and reading the English translation subtitles below.

The next morning, Mr. Pat got up, and while Rick was still asleep, he was woken up by Pat outside the door, as well as a sleepy Lillian.

"We're leaving tonight at eleven o'clock, and before that you can go out and see the beauty outside, and don't waste your time in bed."

When Lilian heard this, she instantly came to her senses, she watched the drama last night and saw two o'clock in the morning, and now she feels like she has just fallen asleep.

"Good! I would love to see the scenery here. ”

"Rick, you two go together, there are RM coins on the table in the living room that are used in the Celestial Empire, have fun!" After Pat finished speaking, he put on his hat and went out, unlike the parents of the Celestial Empire, the parents of the Celestial Empire will only say, pay attention to safety, don't be negligent, and the parents of the M country are usually a blessing.

This is the first time Rick has been out with the girls, and Lillian searches for an attraction on Google Maps, then calls Rick out with her, and walks out of the airport, where there are many taxis waiting for guests. After Rick and Lilian got into a taxi, Lilian used a translation software and sent a Chinese voice on her mobile phone, Master, I want to go to SH Bund, and the teacher rushed out with one foot on the accelerator. The old driver's driving movements are very exaggerated, "Are you from country M?" the old driver asked in English with a G East accent.

"Yes, we are from country M and you speak English?" Lillian asked in surprise. Originally, I wanted to use translation software, but now it seems that it is redundant.

"I know a little bit about it, I often solicit customers here, because there are many foreigners, so I taught myself some English, but I can still deal with the guests who take a taxi."

"If you're going to the Bund, it's best to go at night, where the night view is outstanding, and not far in front of you is Wanda Plaza, where you can buy some Celestial Empire specialties. For you outsiders, I would generally recommend shopping there, as well as NJ Road Pedestrian Street on the west side of the Bund, which is a thriving commercial street" The old driver's English level is obviously very high, completely unthinking, as smooth as his native language, perhaps because of his profession, these sentences are used more, forming an impression memory, although with a hometown accent, but still able to make people understand.

"Thank you, master, I think I'll go" As soon as she heard about shopping, Lilian's heart fluctuated even more, women seem to have a nature, that is, they like to shop, like to buy, buy, buy.

In about forty minutes, the Bund arrived. Along the way, the old driver talked in English about the SH Bund from the Celestial Empire in 1844 during the Qing Dynasty's D Guangdi period, which was classified as the Y concession, and until the reform and opening up of the Celestial Empire in 1979, many foreign banks were introduced to the Bund. What makes Rick and the others listen to it with relish is gone, and there is no boredom when they are on a plane. This completely dispelled Lilian's doubts about her master's English skills, and Lilian paid the fare, and Rick got out of the car with her.

"I feel like I'm hungry, why don't I go get something to eat first," Lillian said after getting out of the car, having stayed up late last night and before bed, Lillian's stomach started ringing.

"Okay, I see that the place I came over just now seems to be the snack street of the Celestial Empire, why don't you go there and have a look" To be honest, Rick was also hungry, listening to the taxi driver vividly tell the history of SH there, Rick had long wanted to take popcorn and Coke.

The two walked back the way they came, and after walking a few hundred meters, they saw some breakfast shops that were open. The two walked into a store called Zkou Hu Spicy Soup, this shop is opened by HN people, and it can open a store in the area near the SH Bund, and it also has some cultural standards, so there is an English translation under each food, but it is useless to have a translation, because people from M country like Rick, who came to the Celestial Empire for the first time, don't know what this thing is. Lilian was also curious when she saw it, for example, the English "Spicy Soup" translates to delicious hot and sour soup, and the fried dough sticks "Deep Fried Dough Sticks" translates to crispy fried noodles. Rick can't translate the names of spicy soup and fritters.

"Aha, we're going to have two breakfasts," Rick said awkwardly to the waiter, and it was in English, hoping someone here would understand.

"Okay, please sit as you like," the waitress replied in English.

After Lilian sat down, she looked at Rick and said, "Isn't it true that everyone in the Celestial Empire can speak English!" ”

Rick shrugged, "I don't know either, but I feel so, the school has a Chinese club, and now I regret that I didn't join it." ”

The waiter was very efficient, and quickly served two bowls of spicy soup, a few fried dough sticks, a few steamed buns and scallion pancakes, and two bags of cut scallion pancakes "Hello, we can pay in US dollars here, of course, you can also pay online" When the waiter finished speaking and was about to get up to leave, Lilian grabbed her, "Excuse me, do people in Shanghai speak English?" ”

The waitress smiled and said, "SH is an international metropolis, most of the people can speak English, of course, some can't, we are from HN's hometown, ten years ago when we first came, there were many foreign guests here, our English level is generally not high, but in order to better communicate with customers, our staff have taught themselves English, and our support staff such as chefs and dishwashers can also speak English, in order to explain to customers that these things are edible, are for life." "It's all about life, probably every Celestial Empire person has this sentence in their hearts

"The people of the Celestial Empire are very ambitious, in our place, we don't seem to have this cultural atmosphere, how about I taste this soup first."

"Wow, that's spicy!" Lillian took a sip and fanned her hand against her mouth, as if to share the spicy nerves on her tongue.

"I'll give it a try," Rick scooped a spoonful and tasted it slowly, "Well, it's a little spicy, but if you taste it carefully, there's a strong fragrance, a sticky feeling, very fragrant, very salty, and a little sour, well, the taste, it's actually good!" ”

Lilian tried it again, and soon got used to this spicy taste, and there were knives and forks on the table, which were all prepared in advance for foreigners to use, and the people of the Celestial Empire generally did not use this, and a breakfast Rick and Lillian took an hour and a half, in the Celestial Empire dialect, a breakfast was full of a strong sense of ritual. Especially when Lilian used a knife and fork to split the fritters, and the first time the Celestial Empire people ate Western food to split the steak, it was a fresh and funny experience.

After breakfast, after Lilian settled the account, the two walked in the direction where they came, and after a while, they came to the Waibaidu Bridge, Lilian stood on the bridge and took two photos of the city's scenery, stayed for about two minutes, Lilian saw a white building, walked there, entered Huangpu Park, and in less than five minutes, they came to the front of the building, which was the People's Heroes Memorial Tower, the reliefs around the round island square of the memorial tower were all carved from granite, and the three Optimus pillars rose from the ground, like a wordless monument, The huge sunken square is the main space for Chinese to remember the martyrs, and Rick raised his head to look up at the top of the tower, but saw straight lines, which made Rick have a high respect.

There is a bench under the Chinese characters engraved with the Memorial Hall of the People's Heroes of SH City, Lilian gives her phone to Rick and asks Rick to take a picture of her, Lilian sits on the bench, learning the standard sitting posture of elementary school students in the Celestial Empire, her hands are naturally on her legs, and her expression is slightly serious.
