Rebirth of Hong Kong: The Rise of the Republic

Chapter 149 Characteristic Street

"Brother Dong, wake up!" Guan Jiahui took off the quilt on the bed and said.

"Well, right away!"

Wang Yaodong closed his eyes and responded again!
Guan Jiahui was so angry that she slapped him on the thigh: "You have been saying this for more than an hour."

Wang Yaodong's thigh was slapped so hard that he felt that she was really angry, so he had to open his eyes and sit up.

In fact, he is not sleepy now, after all, he woke up just over an hour ago.

Guan Jiahui asked again for ten minutes, but she never fell asleep again.

"You're up, let's wash up quickly. It's almost 10:30." Guan Jiahui saw him sitting up and immediately urged him again.

Wang Yaodong could only nodded, got out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

After Wang Yaodong's procrastination, he finally went out officially at eleven o'clock.

……

At this time, Mal's tourism industry had just started, so there were still many shortcomings. Moreover, the new regime was not yet stable, and there were always people who wanted to launch a coup.

So there is still some risk involved in traveling here now.

But now that I'm here, I can only pray that these few days will be safe and happy.

……

"What plans do we have today?" Wang Yaodong asked Guan Jiahui standing at the door of the hotel.

Guan Jiahui said without hesitation; "I asked, there is a special street near here, we will go there today."

Her statement reminded Wang Yaodong of some pink pictures.

In order to verify his thoughts, Wang Yaodong asked excitedly: "What kind of special method is there for a special street?"

"It's very unique?" Guan Jiahui looked at Wang Yaodong with a confused expression.

"Uh~ alright!" Wang Yaodong nodded seeing that he didn't get any useful information.

Guan Jiahui didn't realize that Wang Yaodong was thinking wrongly, but just felt a little baffled.

……

All the way to the place where Guan Jiahui gave his sermon, Wang Yaodong also experienced what a characteristic street is.

It’s just a street selling local specialties, which is a bit different from what I thought.

Wang Yaodong couldn't help but reflect on himself, how could he be so dirty!

Guan Jiahui walked to a shop that sold hats and watched them carefully. From time to time, she picked up a hat and put it on her head to take a look.

Of course, it is indispensable to often ask Wang Yaodong for his opinion.

For Wang Yao, in fact, the hats are all the same, that’s all, so he just keeps saying it’s good.

Of course Guan Jiahui also discovered this situation, but he didn't say anything and still asked happily.

In the end, I finally got a hat that looked good to me.

"Would you like to get one too?" Guan Jiahui asked after choosing her own.

Wang Yao thought for a while, and finally picked one up casually and put it on his head. It felt suitable, so he took it and paid for it.

The boss earned the money without saying a word during the whole process.

"Brother Chen, could you please take a photo for us?"

After Guan Jiahui and Wang Yaodong walked to a jewelry store, she saw that it was very beautiful. With the boss's permission, she asked Chen Shengjun to take a photo of the two of them.

Yes, they still brought cameras with them when they went out this time. How could they forget such an important thing as a camera when they were traveling.

Wang Yaodong himself didn't like taking pictures very much, but he couldn't help her liking it, so he could only accompany him to take pictures.

"One~two~three~"

"Crack!"

"Okay." Chen Shengjun said after taking the photo.

He is quite confident in his photography skills. When he came here, he practiced on his own in Xiangjiang for a few days!

Guan Jiahui saw that the photo had been taken and continued to pick out accessories.

What pearl bracelets, handmade necklaces, engravings...

"I want to buy so many of them!" Guan Jiahui said with emotion while gesturing about the jewelry.

"Just pick the one you like best and don't buy too much, as it won't preserve its value." Wang Yaodong said.

Things that cost a few yuan, how can ornaments sold for tens of dollars maintain their value? Moreover, Xiangjiang has many of them themselves, so why bother to travel so far to buy them.

That being said, girls are still unstoppable to beautiful things.

So Guan Jiahui pouted unhappily when she heard Wang Yaodong's words.

"No, one is too little. It doesn't take up much space, it's not expensive and it's not heavy."

Wang Yaodong looked at her expression and compromised: "Three is the most!"

Although Guan Jiahui was not very satisfied, she saw that Wang Yaodong had already compromised once and did not push too hard.

In the end, I only picked two bracelets and stopped.

She didn't want to buy much, but she felt unhappy after being restricted, so she decided to fight for it.

……

After walking around for a while, a restaurant suddenly appeared. Guan Jiahui turned to Wang Yaodong and said: "It's lunch time, let's go in here and eat!"

Wang Yaodong didn't have any objections, and he didn't know much about the local specialties. It doesn't matter where the restaurants are, as long as the food looks normal.

The other bodyguards didn't have any objections. They just ate with the boss. Their main task here today was to protect the two of them and carry their things.

Entering the store, Guan Jiahui took the menu and began to study what to eat.

After looking at it for five or six minutes, he handed the menu to Wang Yaodong without ordering a single meal.

He was very puzzled when he saw it, you've been looking at it for so long, why can't you just order it yourself, why would you give it to me?
But he soon understood that after picking it up, the words written inside were all local characters, and Guan Jiahui couldn't understand them at all.

But now another problem arises, and I don’t understand it either!

However, this did not prevent him from ordering food. He waved to the waiter.

When the waiter came over, he asked what he wanted to eat in words that the local Wang Yaodong couldn't understand.

It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as the guy understands what he ordered.

I saw Wang Yaodong ordering all twelve dishes on the menu.

The guy was stunned after watching it. I'm sure it's not a joke. Have you ordered all the dishes on the menu?
Three of them are rice, and the two of them definitely can't eat so much.

He wanted to tell Wang Yaodong that it was too much and they couldn't finish it.

It's a pity that Wang Yaodong still doesn't understand!

What made the waiter even more speechless was that Wang Yaodong pointed at Chen Shengjun and the three of them again, and ordered the dishes on the menu again.

The boy didn't know how to write well with the pen in his hand.

Just at this time, an Asian man came in, and the guy seemed to see a savior, so he hurried over to him and recounted the situation just now, asking him to help explain.

This man is also from here. He comes here to eat when he doesn't have anything to do at noon, so they are already familiar with each other.

After hearing this, the man walked to Wang Yaodong's table and said in English: "Hello, my name is Zheng Yupeng. The waiter here told me that you ordered the entire menu once or twice. Is this true?"

When Wang Yaodong heard his words, he also said in English: "Hi, my name is Wang Yaodong, I come from Xiangjiang, and we also want to taste all the delicacies.

After all, when traveling, you always want to eat all the local specialties. I wonder where your ancestral home is? "Zheng Yupeng understood what he said, turned around and told the waiter that he could just serve the food as requested.

Then he turned back to Wang Yaodong and said, "My ancestral home is Chaozhou and I grew up here."

Wang Yaodong was a little surprised when he heard that he seemed to have met a fellow villager!

"Jiaojiren!" Wang Yaodong said with a smile in his hometown dialect.

In fact, he grew up in Xiangjiang, and he doesn't know much about the needs of his hometown. He can still talk about simple things.

Zheng Yupeng was also very shocked when he suddenly heard these words, seeing his own people.

He said happily: "Jiao has been born!"

"Please sit down. If you don't mind, can we eat together?" Wang Yaodong also said with a smile.

He didn't expect that he would meet one of his own on the first day he went out to play.

Zheng Yupeng was born here and does not understand the customs of his ancestral home.

After hearing Wang Yaodong's words, he sat down unceremoniously, looking down and out.

According to the customs in his ancestral homeland, he should be polite first, and then Wang Yaodong would invite him again.

Then Zheng Yupeng made another excuse, and finally Wang Yaodong invited again.

At this time, he could be polite and sit down to eat together.

It's like visiting a thatched cottage three times, but the strange thing is that this custom can still be maintained.

After Zheng Yupeng sat down, Wang Yaodong introduced Guan Jiahui to him.

Then it was basically Zheng Yupeng who spoke.

I introduced them to the fun and interesting places here.

This introduction was eloquent, and two hours passed in a flash.

Until the buddy saw Zheng Yupeng, it was already working time, and he was still chatting here, so he hurried over to remind him.

"Brother Peng, you are going to be late for work!"

Zheng Yupeng heard the waiter's reminder and looked at the time.

How can I be late? I'm already more than ten minutes late!

"Two, I'm sorry, let's talk again when we have the chance." Zheng Yupeng said to Wang Yaodong and Wang Yaodong.

Wang Yaodong smiled, although he didn't hear what the guy just said.

But looking at Zheng Yupeng's expression, there must be something important!
So he smiled and said, "It's okay. Zheng Sheng has something to do first."

But when Zheng Yupeng turned his head to leave, Wang Yaodong suddenly thought of something and stopped him again.

"Zheng Sheng, please wait a moment."

"Wang Sheng, is there anything else?" Zheng Yupeng turned around and asked after hearing this.

"Can you tell the clerk that I want to pay the bill? I don't quite understand the local dialect he speaks!" Wang Yaodong said embarrassedly.

After hearing this, Zheng Yupeng talked to the waiter, and then said to Yaodong: "Although we are vigorously developing the tourism industry, the people who come are still relatively wrong, and everyone's language has not caught up. I am really sorry!"

"It's okay, it's understandable!" Wang Yaodong smiled.

Zheng Yupeng nodded and ran away. It seemed that he was really in a hurry!
Wang Yaodong finished paying the bill and left with Guan Jiahui.

After coming out, the trip became Guan Jiahui's home field again, and it was her turn to take Wang Yaodong around again.

The first day I came to this street was actually a bit of a miscalculation.I was buying and selling all the way.

Finally, I went out. Seeing that it was still early, I walked around some famous buildings before heading back home.

In fact, it was a bit of a miscalculation, if I ended up going to visit those famous places.

Then you should finish shopping first before going to this characteristic street.

This saves the need for a few bodyguards to carry so many things for so long.

……

"Huh, I'm finally back in a warm embrace." Wang Yaodong didn't even wash himself, he just fell on the bed and sighed.

Although I didn't mention anything today, I'm tired after walking for so long!

It's been months since I've gone this long at once.

"Are you really so tired? You didn't walk very long today?"

Guan Jiahui really couldn't understand why he felt so tired after coming back!

"I don't know either! I just feel tired, please massage my feet tonight!" Wang Yaodong said, turning his head to look at Guan Jiahui who was packing up the things he bought today.

When Guan Jiahui heard what he said, she stopped cleaning her hands. She stood up and thought for a few seconds before saying, "When I came up just now, I saw a foot-washing place here. How about we go down and wash our feet later and take a shower by the way."

The reason why she came up with this idea was because she saw this project in the hotel when she came back and wanted to try it.

But in the end, she thought about it and let it go. After all, she never pressed it.

Now that she heard Wang Yaodong say this, she suddenly became interested again!
Wang Yaodong didn't expect that she would say that, and he was stunned for a few seconds before he said: "Okay, we will call Chen Shengjun and the other three later. They have been carrying things all day today, so they should relax!"

Guan Jiahui had no objection when he heard what he said, nodded and continued to clean up.

Except for the clothes and hats, everything else I bought was basically put in the suitcase.

There is no way, after all, it is just a souvenir, and I don’t know how to bring it. I put it in the suitcase first, so that I don’t have to pack it up again when I leave.

When Wang Yaodong saw her busy, he didn't bother her and closed his eyes to rest.

After taking a break, he fell asleep again.

……

After more than half an hour, Guan Jiahui finally packed up everything.

At this time, he also noticed that Wang Yaodong was already asleep, and he was not even covered with a quilt. Fearing that he would catch a cold, Guan Jiahui pulled the quilt and put it on him.

Wang Yaodong, who hadn't slept too deeply, suddenly felt something pressing on him and opened his eyes.

But as soon as he opened his eyes, the dazzling light suddenly closed his eyes again, turning around to avoid the light.

Only then did he open his eyes again, sat up and rubbed his eyes and said, "Jiahui, have you packed your things?"

Guan Jiahui nodded and said: "Yeah, it's done. Did I wake you up?"

Wang Yaodong shook his head: "No, I didn't sleep deeply."

"Then you go wash your face first, it will be better."

"Okay, please wait for me for a moment. I'll wash you off and then we'll go out and have your feet pressed."

After Wang Yaodong finished speaking, he walked towards the bathroom with his somewhat numb feet.

Entering the bathroom, I got into a small one first.

After coming out, I washed my hands, then took a few handfuls of water and put it on my face.

After fully waking up, he wiped his face with the hotel's disposable towel, and then walked out of the bathroom.

"Drink a glass of water!"

Guan Jiahui held a glass of water and stood a little past the bathroom door, waiting for Wang Yaodong to come out. She hurriedly said after seeing him.

Wang Yaodong was also stunned. There were not many times when she was so considerate.

When she handed the water to him, Wang Yaodong took a handful and drank it!
