Chapter 388: Are You a Footbasin Man?

Li Duoyu left the hotel with Zhou Xiaoying, and as soon as he went out, he saw a human-powered tricycle parked nearby.

"Uncle, are you leaving?"

"Let's go, boss, where are you going?"

Li Duoyu pointed to the tall building not far away and could be seen when he looked up, and said, "Please send me to that hotel." ”

The coachman was stunned for a moment, and kindly reminded: "You said that the 37-story building is not open to us, and only accepts foreign guests and overseas Chinese." ”

(In those days, Jinling locals generally called it 37 floors.) )

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu suddenly, and finally knew why Li Duoyu refused to tell her just now.

Zhou Xiaoying frowned tightly and pulled down Li Duoyu's clothes:

"Duoyu, let's go and stay in a hotel or guest house, don't go there, it will be embarrassing if someone kicks you out."

The uncle said: "That's right, the guards there are fierce, and they won't let us tricycles get close, and they will be scolded away immediately." ”

Li Duoyu patted her hand and smiled: "Just wait and watch, just don't speak." ”

The coachman shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I'm kind enough to tell you, if you don't believe it, you won't even be able to enter the door." ”

It only took ten minutes for the driver to send Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying to the vicinity of the 37th floor.

"We can only send it here, and we won't be allowed to get close to the front."

After arriving at the door of Jinling Hotel, Zhou Xiaoying looked up at the hotel and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

From the bottom up, it's very high.

Li Duoyu remembered that the Jinling Hotel was only completed the year before last, with 37 floors and 110 meters, which is currently the tallest building in China.

And this hotel, is currently the most famous attraction in Jinling, tourists to Jinling, can not go to the Confucius Temple, can not go to the presidential palace, do not go to the Ming Tomb, but absolutely can not come to Jinling Hotel.

When Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying got off the tricycle, they found that there were many people lying on the fence outside the hotel, all looking at the high-rise building.

There were several photographers with cameras, holding signs in their hands, shouting: "Fellow, do you want to take pictures, only two pieces for one piece." ”

"Can it be cheaper?"

"It's really cheap, and film is expensive."

At this time, a couple asked, "Master, when can I get the photos after I take them?" ”

"It could be four days."

"Forget it, we won't be in Jinling the day after tomorrow."

"You can leave a contact information, and I can send the photos to your home for free after I wash them."

"Really, then take a picture of the two of us, and remember to take a picture of the whole building."

"Okay."

In addition to the crowd of onlookers.

There are a lot of taxis parked in front of the hotel, but they are not the well-known Santana, but some relatively cheap cars.

For example, Fiat, Lada, Volga, Polonats and other cars, this kind of car is the main model of this era, and you can buy it for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan cheaper.

In this era, taxi drivers were a profession at the top of the blind date pyramid, much more powerful than the so-called civil servants of later generations.

Because most of these taxi masters earn foreign exchange, they only attract foreign guests and overseas Chinese, and almost never take the initiative to pull ordinary people.

If you're lucky, it's never a problem to earn a few dozen dollars a day, and if you meet a generous foreign guest, you may even give a tip.

I heard that in two or three years, they will be able to pay off all the money they borrowed to buy a car, which is much more profitable than their coastal fishermen.

When the two came to the door of the hotel, Zhou Xiaoying immediately noticed the two tall guards.

The moment their eyes met, Zhou Xiaoying was immediately stunned, and she wanted to turn around and run.

"Duoyu, let's not go."

"It's all here, don't be afraid, you follow me, just don't talk."

Seeing Li Duoyu swaggering up like this, Zhou Xiaoying could only grit her teeth and follow hard.

Forget it, if you are driven out, you will be driven out.

Sure enough, Li Duoyu had just approached when he was stopped by the guards, and the other party's attitude was still very good.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to visit here, you can't go any further."

Li Duoyu coughed twice, and did not communicate with him in Mandarin, but said in Japanese:

"Wow, we're here to stay."

Seeing that the young man in front of him was speaking Japanese, the guard was a little surprised, and then he started talking to Li Duoyu in very broken English.

"Are you a 'foot basin' person, please show your ID."

After hearing that broken English.

Li Duoyu really almost couldn't help laughing, because his English level was estimated to be about the same as his own.

Maybe he will be a little better, after all, in the years when he was working as a black worker in the island country, because foreigners often came to restaurants, he learned a little bit by the way.

In order not to show his stuffing, Li Duoyu continued to communicate in Japanese: "No, Ingrid, can you find someone who can speak Japanese." ”

Seeing that the communication could not be achieved, the guard became difficult, he had seen a lot of foreign guests, but most of them were dressed very well.

belongs to the kind that can be seen at a glance, but at the moment, this person who speaks fluent Japanese, but has no foreign guest temperament from beginning to end, makes him a little uncertain.

Especially the girl who followed him, who was wearing that hairstyle, looked like a local of theirs.

In addition, the foreign guests who come to stay in the hotel are generally accompanied by tour guides or leaders, and it is rare to see them like this.

Not far away.

The tricycle driver, who hadn't left yet, wiped the sweat on his body with a towel, and after watching the two of them being stopped, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I guess it's another nouveau riche who has never seen the world." ”

The coachman was going to wait for them for a while, and when he was going to be driven away, he was not allowed to take his car back to the hotel.

Seeing that the communication could not come, the other party spoke fluent Japanese, and the guard was not sure for a while, so he had to return to the sentry box, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the manager.

Not for a while.

A manager wearing a hip-wrapping uniform hurried over, and was also surprised when he saw Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying.

Judging from her experience in receiving so many foreign guests, these two people are Chinese at a glance, which shows his calm expression.

"Silk Marseille."

When the manager was about to ask, Li Duoyu took the lead in getting upset:

"That's how you treat your guests, your guards stopped me outside and wouldn't let us in."

After hearing this fluent Japanese, the female manager was instantly dumbfounded, could it be that she had misjudged herself, and hurriedly bowed and apologized:

"Simi Marseille, our guards are looking at the documents to release people, and they must have a travel permit to stay in China."

Li Duoyu had an angry expression: "We really want to give him the certificate, my wife and I are photographers, and we came to travel and take pictures, we have been to the Tianshan Mountains, Shangri-La, and the Prairie.

Unexpectedly, on the train to Jinling, the documents were stolen, the camera, and the clothes were stolen. ”

Hearing him say this, the female manager's last doubts were put down, it turned out that she came to China to travel and take pictures, no wonder she looked dusty.

Recently, there have indeed been several incidents of foreign guests going out to play alone and things being stolen, and the leaders have been furious because of this incident.

"I'm really sorry to make such a bad impression on you." The foreman apologized and warmly invited them in.

Zhou Xiaoying was completely stupid, no wonder Duoyu made her smile, don't speak, but what surprised her even more.

Duoyu's Japanese, how can it be so good, even much more fluent than the female manager.

Seeing that the two young men were not driven out, but were invited in, the coachman who was smoking and waiting, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and the cigarette fell directly to the ground.

"What the hell, why did you put it in, these two people shouldn't be overseas Chinese."

Zhou Xiaoying followed Li Duoyu closely, but as soon as she arrived at the gate, she was stumped, because there was a door that kept turning.

She didn't even know how to get in.

Li Duoyu took her hand, found that her palms were all sweaty, and whispered in her ear: "Follow me, I'll take you in." ”

Li Duoyu took Zhou Xiaoying's hand and passed the revolving door very easily, and then led by the female manager.

Li Duoyu made a simple registration at the front desk, and wrote two Japanese names and contact addresses casually.

Nobita Hibi,

Shizuka Minamoto.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a foreign exchange coupon with a denomination of 100 yuan and asked for a suite.

What Li Duoyu didn't expect was that when they entered the hotel, two people on motorcycles had been secretly following them.

Seeing them stay at the Jinling Hotel, the two young men's brows were wrinkled like bitter melons.

Previously, they reported it, and the security guards who checked the room just now were buddies with them, and their goal was also very clear, that is, to snatch back the letter that Zhang Damao handed over to the other party.

As long as there is no address, the person named Zhou Xiaoying will not be able to contact the Zhou family, and the Zhou family on Hong Kong Island will not know that the old house has not been rebuilt, and their family will continue to get money every year.

It can be seen that after the two entered the Jinling Hotel, they also broke out in a cold sweat.

"Those two people shouldn't be the Zhou family on Hong Kong Island, they came to test our family, otherwise how could they stay in the Jinling Hotel."

"I think it's possible, too."

"However, if this is the case, our family will be finished, and the Zhou family will definitely not send us any more money."

"What should I do now?"

"How do I know what to do, I also took out a loan from the credit union, if I don't send us money, what will I pay back."

Happy New Year to all,

Take off in 2024 and make a fortune!
