A little laid-back before the CP94 auction
In Port City on Tuesday, the auction officially began on Friday. After the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun and Pavilion, this major auction will last for three days and will not end until Sunday evening.
As the owner of that set of moon-white glazed Ru kiln tea sets, Chu Xiaobai made a decision early in the morning to go to the auction site to see the excitement. is also as energetic as him, as well as the little sister Chu Xiaomei, this girl is also very interested in the legendary auction scene.
As for Chu Jianjun and Liu Meiyu, their attitudes are not so positive. Before leaving, Liu Meiyu had said that she was afraid that she would see something too exciting at the auction and give herself a heart attack, but at this time, she still had the same idea and didn't want to visit the site.
If Liu Meiyu doesn't go, Chu Jianjun will naturally not go. Seeing that his parents had this attitude, Chu Xiaobai was not reluctant, and after discussing with Su Yue for a while, he booked another itinerary for his parents - to visit the Macao people across the sea from Hong Kong City for a day.
On Wednesday, the family's destination was Disneyland in Port City.
On Thursday, we went to Madame Tussauds and the famous Aquarium in Port City.
On Friday, the auction began. But because this was only the first day, it was only the appetizing stage, and there were no particularly valuable lots, and the moon-white glazed tea set he sent would not appear, so Chu Xiaobai still did not go to the auction site, but continued to accompany his parents, and accompanied them to Lamma Island with his little sister.
On Saturday, it suddenly rained heavily in the port city.
It's not very convenient to travel, but fortunately, the four members of the Chu family don't have the idea of going out for another day - although their health has always been very good, Chu Jianjun and Liu Meiyu are already in their fifties, and after three days of shopping, the physical strength of the two is not enough. In order to recover from the fatigue accumulated over the past three days, the two made the decision to take a day off temporarily.
Staying in the hotel is also a way to get in touch with new things. Since he knew his parents' plans the night before, Chu Xiaobai asked Su Yue to help make arrangements.
On the second day, that is, on Saturday, Chu Jianjun and Liu Meiyu enjoyed a complete relaxation.
First, a head-to-toe massage is a massage. Under the entrustment of Chu Xiaobai, Su Yue found a well-known gold medal orthopaedic massage master in Hong Kong City. Aromatherapy, oil pushing, bone setting, massage, a set of processes, not only solved the fatigue accumulated in the past three days, but also conditioned and recovered with a few small problems that had been made in life before.
After that, there is also a hearty medicinal diet. Although the things were made by the hotel chef and no particularly famous experts were invited, the recipe was obtained by Su Yuetuo from a health expert. In terms of the therapeutic effect of medicinal diet, there is not much difference compared to that made by special people.
Finally, it is a Chinese-style theatrical performance.
On weekends, the hotel's theatre hosts two performances, sometimes by local groups from the city, but occasionally the hotel pays to invite foreign and mainland experts to perform on stage.
Because each troupe has different skills, the content of the performance changes from time to time. Sometimes it's a grand symphony evening, sometimes it's a ballet or an opera, sometimes it's a circus performance. All in all, every performance was wonderful.
Chu Jianjun and Liu Meiyu caught up with this scene, and the invited performance groups came from the mainland. Among the performances they brought, there are not only Peking Opera with the name of the quintessence of the country, but also the popular cross talk of the masses, in addition, there are also some acrobatic and traditional trick performances. Although it is a little more chaotic than an opera or ballet performance, it is more than enough to be suitable for all ages.
Whether it was the massage at the beginning, or the medicinal diet later, or the evening performance, Chu Jianjun and Liu Meiyu felt very satisfied. In the words of the two elders, after four days in Hong Kong City, today is the happiest.
On the other side, Chu Xiaobai and Chu Xiaomei, brother and sister, also had a good time.
It's not a good idea to go out because of the light rain, but it's perfect if you spend your time indoors shopping at the mall.
Accompanied by Su Yue (Chu Jianjun and Liu Meiyu will not leave the hotel for all their trips, and they don't need to be accompanied all the time), Chu Xiaobai and his sisters first came to the most famous shopping area in Hong Kong and had a good look here.
It is impossible to buy what you like, after all, the porcelain has not been taken off, and it has not yet turned into a local tyrant for the time being. However, the savings that Chu Xiaobai saved by going out to work were enough for the two brothers and sisters to spend in a day. What's more, Chu Xiaomei is not a big-spending person who doesn't know how to measure, she won't be like those green tea in novels or TV series who see something and shout to buy it.
While picking and choosing, while bargaining, after a few hours, Chu Xiaomei not only tasted the fun of fighting wits with the shopkeeper, but also bought several clothes that were not expensive but were very in line with her pure little girl's temperament. Just this shopping trip makes this girl beautiful.
Chu Xiaobai also filled himself with two pieces of clothes and a pair of sneakers. Of course, it is indispensable to bring some small gifts for parents.
The time spent on shopping was about four hours, and then, Su Yue took him to a well-known food shop among the locals of Hong Kong City, and after tasting a very authentic but not expensive delicious lunch, the two siblings came to a very famous place in Hong Kong City - Sha Tin Racecourse.
In Port City, there are two horse farms. They are the earlier Happy Valley Racecourse and the later Sha Tin Racecourse. The former has a longer history, while the latter occupies a larger area and is more inclined to modernization.
Every race day, fans of Port City gather at the racecourse to watch the horse races and place bets on the races. For locals, watching Marseille and betting on horses is already a part of their lives.
It is precisely because of the particularity of this habit that many tourists come here and go to the racecourse to get a feel for the living habits of the locals. If it happens to be a game day, they will not hesitate to take out the money and bet on a game like the locals.
It's not the result that matters, it's the feeling of that atmosphere.
It's Saturday and it happens to be the second race day of the new racing season. Originally, he didn't expect that after Chu Xiaobai asked casually, Su Yue suddenly remembered this incident and took the opportunity to lead the brother and sister to the Sha Tin Racecourse where the competition was held.
Outside the racecourse, you can see people from Hong Kong City holding horse newspapers and betting tickets everywhere. Or keep your head down and study the data in the newspaper, or discuss with your friends which horse you should bet on today, although the behavior is different, but the same thing is that they all focus on the horse race.
I bought a ticket and walked into the venue, and the atmosphere here was even more lively.
Among the spectators in the stands, there are either out-of-town tourists like Chu Xiaobai's brothers and sisters, or some horse fans who are obsessed with seeing all the horses with their own eyes. The former, because it is the first time to experience such a scene, is always very emotional, while the latter is often more passionate about this event than those simple gamblers outside. With such two kinds of people in the game, and at the scene of the game, how can the atmosphere be inferior to the outside?
was infected by the atmosphere, and was also persuaded by Su Yue to say, 'Since you are here, you might as well try it', Chu Xiaobai and Chu Xiaomei both paid for a few horse tickets.
It is worth mentioning that when buying the horse ticket, Chu Xiaomei did not ask her brother to help pay for it like she did when she was shopping just now.
Somewhat surprised, Chu Xiaobai asked why.
Chu Xiaomei's answer was, 'If you help pay for it, and then you win the lottery, will the prize be yours or mine?' No, I'm going to pay for it myself, and the winnings after winning are all mine."
Although she knew that this girl just wanted to gamble on her luck, the point was not that she really wanted to monopolize the prize. However, what she said was still too much of an out-of-the-box, and she was a little dissatisfied in her heart, so Chu Xiaobai smiled and scolded while reaching out and knocking on the door of her head.
The brain is already very good, and in the words of the physiognomy masters, the heavenly court is full. After being knocked on by her brother like this, an extra red mark appeared on Chu Xiaomei's head, adding a touch of 'red light' to the already full enough Heavenly Court.
Perhaps it is because of this face that in the following Marseille, she really won a 'big' prize.
It cost 20 Hong Kong dollars to place a bet, but after winning the lottery, you got more than 3,000. Maybe the odds are not very high, but for Chu Xiaomei, who is still a student, this money is not small, plus she got it by herself, hehe, such a result is indeed enough for her to be happy for a while.
As for Chu Xiaobai, if he is allowed to come into contact with those racing horses, he will have a way to manipulate the results of the race, the method is very simple, as long as he secretly drinks some 'drinks' for the horses he bet on, but now, if he is just lucky, he is not as good as his own sister.
I spent more than 100 Hong Kong dollars, and I didn't even hear a sound, but I just left a few useless bet slips. This is Chu Xiaobai's achievement.
I spent less money, but I was more lucky to win the lottery once, because of the comparison with Chu Xiaobai, Chu Xiaomei's already happy mood became more and more cheerful. Even if she told her parents about it after going back to the hotel and was taught a lesson by her mother, her happiness was still not affected much, and she would still run to Chu Xiaobai from time to time and take out a few words about it.
