Chapter 231: A Five-Star Inn
Coincidentally, when Zhang Jianyang and the others arrived in Beidu, they encountered a rare fog.
The foggy weather is early in the morning, and the visibility is very low.
Through the glass of the car, you can only see the tall city wall half-hidden in the fog, like a mirage. The city wall is completely retro, with pavilions on it, and tall arrow towers stand in it, and under the fog, it looks like a fairy world. Just at first glance, it gives people enough shock.
One is that the highway became the entrance to the northern metropolis, passing through the gates in the city walls.
Although it was early in the morning, when Zhang Jianyang's motorcade appeared, it was not Zhang Jianyang who was the earliest, and more than 100 different cars had already parked in front of the city gate.
There are no checkpoints at the gates, and as a city of adventurers, there are no restrictions on anything, and you can enter and exit the city freely.
But the gates of the city are not opened, but are closed.
Cheng Qianbo said curiously: "Head, could it be that the city gate here is still the same as in ancient times, and it is only opened for a certain period of time?" ”
Zhang Jianyang stopped the tanker, nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed a specific time period." It seems to be seven o'clock in the morning, and it will open until nine o'clock in the evening. At other times, the gates are closed, making it difficult to get in and out. He looked at his watch, it was only 6:40, and it was still twenty minutes before the gates of the Northern City would open.
It's an adventurer's paradise, and it's very different from other areas.
Here, just looking at the hundreds of cars and so on, you can understand that some teams of high-minded adventurers spend time at night. It should be a night adventure and exchange life for greater gains. After all, it has been lively here for decades, and the mutated herbs that can be found during the day are almost extinct, and only at night can you be lucky enough to encounter them.
However, there is still a price to be paid for being active at night.
Some of the cars waiting here are scarred, and some are badly damaged.
In addition to the adventurers, what waits, some are caravans.
Trucks, or cattle cargo compartments, are all full of goods. Like these caravans, they should be caravans that are not in time and can only rush hard. They are undoubtedly lucky to be here, and they can survive the deadly attacks of the mutant beasts in the dark night.
The people who escaped, whether they were adventurers or caravan boys, had reason to rejoice.
Perhaps the people of the northern metropolis have long been accustomed to this situation, and some hawkers and traders have taken advantage of this opportunity to push carts, carry steaming buns and other breakfasts, and wander from car to car to sell breakfast to people waiting to enter the city. For adventurers who have been frightened all night in the night and cold all night, a steaming basket of steamed buns is a temptation they cannot refuse.
It was only now that Zhang Jianyang noticed that there were actually a large number of houses outside the city walls.
Soon, a middle-aged vendor pushed a steamed bun cart in front of Zhang Jianyang's motorcade.
The peddler was a little surprised to see this dusty convoy, with endless mist on it, but almost no damage. He has been making breakfast here for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has seen a vehicle that appears here without damage. Whether it's day or night, a convoy that arrives here will definitely be attacked by a lot of mutant beasts along the way.
And the absence of damage undoubtedly shows a problem, this is a very strong team.
"Do you want buns? Steaming buns. ”
The voice of inquiry sounded, and in the eyes of the hawker, no matter how powerful the team was, they were also human, and they were all interested in steaming steamed buns. As for whether they are strong or not, it has little to do with ordinary people like him. It is precisely in this way that the hawkers here have no fear, and they can also smile when facing Cheng Qianbo, a giant.
There is a roasted fish mat at the bottom of the supper, but now when I see steaming steamed buns and fritters, etc., it is the aroma that hits people, and everyone feels hungry.
Each person bought five buns, two fritters, plus a cup of soy milk, and a normal standard breakfast.
Anyway, he was not in a hurry to enter the city, so Zhang Jianyang simply asked the team to pull aside, and then enjoyed this breakfast with the characteristics of old Yanjing.
I have seen countless TV movies before, and there are scenes of special snacks under Yanjing City, which also proves that the taste characteristics of these breakfasts are very good. Especially at the foot of the city wall, there are food stalls, steaming hot in the early morning, bowls of dumplings, baskets of various steamed buns, golden fritters, rice noodles and so on.
…… At seven o'clock, the gates of the northern city opened on time.
The people who had been waiting for a long time began to enter the city, while the adventurers in the city left the city and disappeared into the highways that extended in all directions.
The hawkers, who were still making a lot of noise just now, also scattered around at this time.
Zhang Jianyang's convoy entered behind a caravan, and at a glance at the city gate, it was made of special steel, which belonged to mechanical opening, after all, it weighed dozens of tons, but it could not be pushed by manpower. At the city gate, there are only four soldiers standing guard, and other than that, there is really no checkpoint that is a feature of the city after the nuclear war.
Out of the city gate, there is an avenue paved with special ceramic firing, which looks like it is paved with green bricks.
This is the most famous cyan ocean road in Beidu, which runs through almost the entire Beidu.
The northern city is divided into an inner city and an outer city.
Since all motor vehicles are prohibited in the inner city of the North Metropolis, almost all the accommodation and service industries are concentrated in the outer city of the North Metropolis.
From the moment the car stepped onto this avenue named the Blue Sea, it made you feel like you were in an ancient city. On both sides of the avenue, there are wooden houses and shops lined up with plaques with names written in traditional Chinese.
And the waiters in these stores are all dressed in ancient costumes, which gives people a sense of trance.
"Wow, haven't we all traveled back in time to antiquity?"
Xia Shaojun first exclaimed, she slowed down the heavy truck, and then poked her head out, looking at the crowded avenue and countless shops, which seemed to have successfully inspired a woman's natural shopping**.
Zhang Jianyang laughed: "Crossing, if this is the case, when the ancient people saw our car, they should show the expression when they saw the gods, and then kneel down and worship, right?" ”
In addition to Zhang Jianyang and his seven cars, there are all kinds of other vehicles on the avenue. To be honest, this scene doesn't quite fit a retro city, but presumably there is no way to do it with the local political axe, right? After all, there are countless adventurers who come in every day, so how can they ban the entry of a vehicle like a car?
However, the local political axe still has regulations, and cars entering the northern city must find a hotel to stay in as soon as possible, and then park the car.
In normal times, it is not allowed to use a car as a means of transportation.
Zhang Jianyang's words were somewhat disappointing, which made Xia Shaojun's mouth pout and roll his eyes.
In the northern metropolis, hotels and hotels are not directly called so-and-so hotels, but inns or restaurants. These service industries are almost concentrated in the outer cities.
It is not difficult to find an inn in the northern metropolis, and the flag of a certain inn can be seen fluttering in the wind everywhere along the way.
In order to distinguish the star rating of these inns and restaurants, you can use these plaques or flags in the corners, there are generally stars rated by the local political axe, and like modern hotels, the highest five-star system is adopted. If it is less than three stars, it is not counted in the star rating, that is, there are no stars.
Zhang Jianyang and the others are all people who don't have a sense of money, so they naturally don't want to go to a low-level inn, so they searched all the way and found a five-star inn.
The consumption of the northern metropolis is ridiculously high, whether it is food, housing and transportation, it is more than three or four times that of other cities.
"Yuelai Inn, hehe, this name is the name that has the highest appearance rate in almost every movie and TV series." Tao Ruhai laughed, he didn't expect that in the northern city, Yuelai Inn turned out to be a five-star standard. I have to say that this name is indeed too vulgar.
The inn has a welcome second, the convoy is approaching, and the welcome second is already trotting over, busy before and after.
The parking lot here is almost entirely underground. Under the guidance of a waiter, he parked the car in the underground parking lot, and then entered the interior of the inn through a passage.
To be rated as a five-star rating, the service and decoration are of great course.
The interior of the inn is full of small bridges and flowing water, some Suzhou gardens, and the housing is in such a garden. It may be on the flowing water, or it may be hidden in the bamboo forest, or it may be on the Feiyu Pavilion. The greenery here is very thick, showing the wind and wealth of the rich family in ancient times.
Compared to the slight smell of dust outside, the air you breathe here is very refreshing, and it unconsciously shocks people's spirits.
Like the five-star inns, they are equipped with large-scale air freshening equipment, and the air is naturally far beyond the outside.
"It's really beautiful here."
Lan Keying sighed, accustomed to high-rise buildings, accustomed to cement and steel, and now suddenly being in such an environment, it makes people feel very fresh.
The waiter who pretends to be a little second has long been accustomed to this kind of exclamation of the guests, and the guests who often make this kind of exclamation can be judged to be the first time to come to the northern city. Of course, the most exaggerated are foreigners, who often shout when they see this, and then they keep taking pictures, good, good and talking non-stop.
"Ladies and gentlemen, check-in is done here."
Bringing the guests to the customer service department, Xiao Er's tasks are also full of completion, and then taking the tip given by this beautiful young lady, he went around to the front of the inn to welcome the arrival of new guests.
