Chapter 167: Scarlet Rose (1)
Gazihu Town has a total population of more than 10,000 people, and there are about 2,000 men and women who are still single. But there were only more than 500 people who went to the blind date conference.
There are many reasons for this, but one very important reason is that under the pressure of the end times, not all people have the desire to get married, let alone have children. They are more likely to be in temporary male and female relationships.
And these 500 or so people are the real leftover men and women, they are people who want to get married and start a family, and they are also a group of people who are willing to have children and reproduce. The people who came to visit Zhang Le yesterday were basically this group of people.
A total of five double-decker electric buses participated in the pick-up, people were not full, and one was almost empty, which was different from what the town expected, and did not meet the tasks assigned by the superiors, Wu Yanfang, the director of the town's women's office, looked a little bad, and the criticism of the leaders must be indispensable.
"Xiao Zhang Xiaoshen, a few of you are newcomers, this time you are doing well, you have to participate in this kind of activity more, even if it is not successful, there is no harm in participating in this kind of activity more, you can make a few more friends if you can't get along!" Wu Yanfang also sat on the last almost empty bus, and when she saw Zhang Le and his party, she forced out some smiles.
Zhang Le and the others all nodded their heads, and they didn't dare to have a deep chat with the powerful female director, so they couldn't say that they all went shopping.
Seeing that Zhang Le, Shen Wei and the others had no intention of chatting, and the remaining few were all foreign faces, and they couldn't speak foreign words, Wu Yanfang rubbed her head and began to close her eyes and recuperate.
The road is a brand new four-lane asphalt road, there are sparse solar street lights on both sides of the road, after fifteen minutes of driving, huge wind-generating windmills begin to appear on the side of the road, and after another half an hour, there are factories emitting white smoke, and after another ten minutes or so, the bus begins to enter the central city of New Kashgar.
Zhang Le realized that he had been deceived by Fang Qing. The city of New Kashgar is not only very large and prosperous, with many high-rise buildings, but also extremely beautiful scenery, almost all of which are built next to a huge lake. This is the difference between a mansion and a slum in the low tents and stone houses of Gazihu Town.
In the event of a nuclear war, the old city of Kashgar has been reduced to ashes. In the vicinity of the old site, due to the movement of the earth's crust, a huge lake with an area of about 500 square kilometers appeared. The new city of Kashgar was built around this nascent lake. The beautiful Kizil River runs through this nascent lake.
The new lake is called Maple Lake because of its shape that resembles a maple leaf. The east and south coasts of Maple Lake are residential areas and commercial areas, and the east and south of the commercial area belong to the military district, and in addition to the military camps, there are various factories in the military area. On the west side of Maple Lake is a large planting area, with greenhouses as the main body. Further to the west is the pasture area.
The entire central city, including residential, commercial and military districts, is surrounded by six-meter-high stone walls, making the whole city of New Kashgar both prosperous and extremely safe.
The place where the blind date meeting is held is in the military district, and from the outside, it is a place similar to a gymnasium or a grand theater for performances. The entry and exit of the military administration area is still relatively arbitrary, as long as you show your ID card. After getting off the bus, Shen Wei and Sandy joined the blind date, while Zhang Le and the three ladies secretly left the military area without the attention of Wu Yanfang, the women's director. There were more than 20 people who took the same action as Zhang Le and others, and everyone tacitly clinged to the green belt on the side of the road and left cautiously and quickly.
Several ladies are dressed casually, but Zhang Le is a big bag, like a traveler returning home for the Spring Festival. It's not that Zhang Le is willing to do this, there is no electronic payment card similar to Rock Town in New Kashgar City, all transactions must be made in cash, there is no one at home, and it is not safe to put cash at home, Zhang Le simply brought all the cash with him. It's not much, a big travel backpack and two hand-held canvases are just packed.
The city of New Kashgar has a population of about 300,000, and basically all of them are normal humans, that is, pure-blooded humans. Zhang said that in the world, such large proportions of pure-blooded human settlements are almost rare, which is also due to China's large population base and the ability of the government to organize. Although Zhang Le is reluctant to infer this, he also has to understand that New Kashgar is similar to the Paris headquarters of the European Alliance for Human Supremacy, and is a new human city organized and planned in China.
The business district is very well developed and has everything you need. Various styles of clothing are the favorites of several ladies, but Zhang Le, the payment machine, has no extra hands to carry clothes. Gianna, as the captain, decided very arrogantly to buy a car to carry the things purchased. There are very few private vehicles in New Kashgar, because the urban area is not large, and there is basically no demand, and the most are the electric box trucks that transport goods.
So, the rest of the itinerary became like this. Zhang Le drove an electric van truck, along the side of the road, followed by the three ladies shopping, whenever the three ladies needed to pay, Zhang Le parked, paid for the one-stop service.
Walking around the side of the business district, Zhang Le couldn't help but admire the strength of the new version of the RMB, the carriage was full of a small half of the goods, but the money for a canvas bag had not been spent, and the key was that it also included the car money.
Shen Wei and Sandy entered the blind date meeting with the flow of people. It is a complex building that is divided into an indoor pavilion and an outdoor pavilion. When the ladies of Gazihu Town saw that Sandy also came to the blind date meeting, they all fell behind by more than a hundred steps, and when Sandy's head completely disappeared into the crowd, they patted their chests and entered the blind date meeting.
The Indoor Pavilion is a very grand hall, with 30 huge columns supporting this golden hall with an area of more than 3,000 square meters. The walls are all dazzling golden yellow, and the entire hall is beautifully illuminated by countless huge chandeliers. On the high platform at the end of the hall, there is actually a band, playing soothing and beautiful music. In the hall, there are rows of long tables with a variety of delicious snacks and wine.
There are rows of red roses on both sides of the wall of the hall, and the long table and the floor are sprinkled with rose petals, and the whole hall is full of the fragrance of roses. Even Shen Wei, who doesn't understand romance, is infected by this romantic atmosphere and has an urge to fall in love.
There are no seats, everyone has to stand with wine glasses, and it is easy to get tired after standing still for a long time, so everyone either walks around or talks to people to distract themselves, which is also one of the purposes of the organizers. Because this is a blind date conference, not a food conference.
