Text Chapter 604
I told Mr. Di that I traveled here when I was a freshman in high school. I was fifteen years old and already 1.85 meters tall, the same height as now.
There was a slightly effeminate boy wearing glasses in the same group who bought the squid. He gave me a piece. It tasted okay.
His mother seemed very strong. She bought her son a small cup of high-end ice cream for tens of dollars. She said the price was affordable, and the same model in China was much more expensive. They bought ginseng tea, dried squid, etc. The boy liked the appearance of white people. He envied the white people's good looks when they were young. I said that their appearance would age quickly, and it would be harder to retain their youthful beauty, which also had its drawbacks.
My mother gave me money to buy a pack of sliced ??grilled squid in the city. The price was not bad. I loved dressing up and brought several shirts with me.
That time when I was walking around the shopping street in the capital of the Night Kingdom, my mother wanted to buy me sneakers, but she had no business at the time. She and my father were completely separated, and the finances were tight. It was already great that she could spend 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to take me on a trip abroad to meet the world. . For her thirty years of dedication and responsibility, I would like to thank her for her meritorious service.
Mr. Di and I returned to the bus and looked around again through the window. There were many buses coming one after another. The long coast here is one of the check-in places on Cui Yi Island.
When Huyue got on the bus, I saw him holding two hot grilled squid wrapped in paper. I asked him how much he spent?
He said he bought it for me for 20,000 night national currency. He asked a male tour guide to help negotiate the price, and wanted to keep some coins, but the male shopkeeper looked arrogant, shook his head coldly, and said in Ye Mandarin, no, that's the price, ten thousand per string.
I stood up from the sofa chair and hugged the dreamy and cute Huyue who didn¡¯t want to spend more money. I stroked his ecstatic back and said that he was too expensive! Some of the food at the attractions here are very expensive, and they even prey on foreigners who don¡¯t have local currency!
Hu Yue nodded and said that he used his mobile phone to check the exchange rate. Ten thousand national currency can be exchanged for five yuan of national currency. The snacks in this scenic spot are expensive, but tourists still buy them.
I said that once when I came here on a cruise, I met a little boy holding a few barbecue skewers. He said that a large skewer of squid cost ten foreign currencies! His parents have enough money for him to buy such an expensive street barbecue.
If it is Xingguo currency, I can buy a big bunch, but grilled squid is not cheap in China now, maybe ten yuan is not enough.
In the past few times I came to Cuiyi Island, I didn¡¯t eat anything on the ground. I only drank water. I ate a lot of breakfast on the boat. In the afternoon, I went back to the boat and had dinner. One person ate double portions, and my mother did the same.
I didn¡¯t want to eat it at first, but Huyue bought it for me, so I only ate some of it, and it tasted ordinary.
Hu Yue was a little reluctant to give Mr. Di a few more yuan. I said it was bought with the night currency given by Captain Qi Xing, and treated everyone as a captain to a barbecue.
Mr. Di didn¡¯t want to eat it, saying that he still had more than half of the dried squid left to eat and was planning to throw it away. He doesn't like seafood and likes to eat lean meat and tea, but he eats whatever I give him even if he doesn't like it.
I took a bag of grilled squid and went down to the second floor. I waited for Assistant Tong to come up and give it to him, saying that Mr. Jin spent a lot of national money to buy this for everyone. What are the benefits? I will take care of it in the future.
Assistant Tong said that Butler Hua was at the cruise service center and had already exchanged some night currency, and they also bought some snacks.
Back on the second floor, we went to the bathroom at the back of the car to wash our hands and rinse our mouths. Then I sat on the sofa chair in the restaurant and continued to tell Mr. Hu Yuedi about my past travels here.
"My mother and I once took a cruise to Cui Yi Island. We disembarked when it was dark that time. It was still early in the morning and we went through customs quickly just after 7 o'clock. The customs and shopping malls went to work early because there were many groups that day, so they were released earlier. , you can also have more time for shopping, and you can spend three or four hours in the department store! On this coast, our bus just arrived, and an aunt wearing glasses complained on the bus that it was still dark, what were we here to see? ? It seemed that it was a local Night Kingdom person or a foreign female tour guide who had lived in Night Kingdom for a long time. She immediately became unhappy and said that this was not her responsibility! It was arranged by the group! The female tour guide had a stiff attitude, unlike most other tour guides. Gentle and polite. It was not very bright, so I couldn¡¯t take pictures with my mobile phone at that time. I remember there were many incidents of bad tour guides in one place! If you don¡¯t shop, you will be threatened with not being able to leave the place! Some social tour guides are more vicious than bandits! It¡¯s so outrageous ! He also scolded people to the point of having heart attacks and scolded them to death! It will ruin the local tourism industry. Anyway, don¡¯t book irregular tour groups that are too cheap. There are regulations that tour groups must not attract customers at a price lower than the cost price, so as not to fail. There is a lot of shopping, and the consequences may be disastrous! When my mother went to Danga Bay when she was young, the locals had to take them in. They took out-of-town tourists to the shopping area, locked the door directly, and refused to let them out without spending money! A small Cartier brand bag was on the second More than a decade ago, it was thousands! But fake brands are everywhere, and I don¡¯t know whether they are genuine or fake. Anyway, some places there are full of luxury stores. Another time I came to Cui Yi Island, a night country.??The tour guide was pretty good and kind. She said that she came to Cui Yi Island from the capital to pick up the group. She said that some local men were very chauvinistic at home. After marriage, they were not as good as in the TV series. Her life after marriage was very hard. You have to have your own job, cook for the whole family, get up at four in the morning to make miso soup, pick up your daughter from school in the afternoon, and pay your parents-in-law to take care of the children! She occasionally watches TV series with rich, handsome and loving people to balance her mind. Anyway, the long and repetitive life will continue. Many local women have come here this way. This female tour guide said that she wants to find a rich son-in-law from Star Kingdom in the future, not only for her family but also for her family. Earning money, some good men also take time to cook, can make her daughter's life easier. "I talked about my experiences, and Hu Yue listened carefully.
Mr. Di massaged my shoulders and back, very professionally. We took a look at the nearby streets. There were boys and girls in school uniforms waiting for the bus. Most of the passers-by were well-dressed, with a sense of fashion in their modesty. Cuiyi Island is not big, but the local economy has been OK in recent years.
We arrived at a museum, which was quite large. The male boss took us and explained it to us.
"Although several palaces in this museum were built in modern times, a lot of money was invested in them, and the appearance is almost the same as that of ancient houses. There are genuine cultural relics from the Night Kingdom in the museum. The people of the Night Kingdom like the root culture very much. History lies in the inheritance and promotion of details. We attach great importance to ancient culture and ancient skills! Here there are ancient paintings and ornaments, architectural models, introductions to traditional food recipes, royal court performances, panoramic displays of ancient singing arts, graceful performances by guards in ancient costumes, and three-dimensional images of ancient women playing cards. Projection, etc. After the completion of this museum, it became the star place of Cui Yi Island. Outside some palaces, there are paid photos of royal nobles and ancient costumes, headdresses and costumes. The photos can be quickly printed and taken away, but the fee is relatively expensive. Everyone goes to the museum The service center can exchange national currency at night, and there are many currency exchanges. Please remind everyone that it will be much more expensive if you use yuan national currency directly for consumption. In the afternoon, you can swipe international cards at the mall duty-free shop. Some stores support mobile phone software consumption, which facilitates transactions. Please Meet in the square here at 11:30 noon. Don't be late. Thank you all guests." Let's take a look at this large antique museum. It's quite good, displaying the connotation of civilization and customs. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
