It was two o'clock in the afternoon when the family finally reached the halfway point of the mountain and decided to take a break.

"Xiao Xi must be hungry too, do you want to eat something?"

Although there are no restaurants at the rest stop halfway up the mountain, there are quite a few convenience stores.

"No, brother, everything here is so expensive..."

Looking at the sausage in front of her with the price of ten yuan a piece written on it, Xia Jinxi flinched a little.

"Because transportation is inconvenient in the mountains, it's difficult to get goods."

“Is it so expensive just because it’s hard to deliver?”

"Of course not, there are many other reasons."

"First, in deep mountainous areas like this, transportation is not that convenient, so it would be difficult to transport goods."

"Second, there are fewer tourists in scenic spots during non-holidays, so it is easy to lose money. During holidays, there are more tourists but the supply cannot meet the demand."

"Third, it is difficult to find service personnel. Most people are reluctant to take this kind of work in the mountains unless they are offered a pay raise, which is another expense."

Tang Yuze explained to Xia Jinxi everything he had learned before.

“I still feel a little bit stuck…”

"To be honest, I think so too, your brother."

The above content all comes from the information sheet that Tang Yuze memorized when learning geography before the subject division.

There was a big question like this in one exam, asking him why the prices in scenic spots are higher than usual. His thoughts on this are...

What a bunch of useful excuses.

Let’s talk about the first point first. Transportation is difficult. Transportation is inconvenient in the deep mountains, and transportation costs will increase.

Tang Yuze could understand this. After all, the scenic area usually needs a lot of supplies, and there are few and bumpy roads up the mountain, so the inconvenience of transportation is understandable.

But why is the price of the same product exactly the same when sold at the foot of the mountain and at the top of the mountain?

It’s difficult to carry supplies up the mountain, but it must not be difficult to transport them to the foot of the mountain, right?

Secondly, it is easy to make losses when there are few tourists on weekdays, so it is necessary to raise prices to save the business.

But the reality is that no matter how many or few tourists there are, prices are always extremely expensive.

Moreover, the more people there are, the more expensive these things become. Some people say that things in scenic spots are always in short supply, but in fact they have never been sold out.

Third, most people are unwilling to do short-term jobs of only a few months unless they are paid well.

Does giving each worker a little more salary justify the price increase by several times?

Besides, Tang Yuze really didn’t think that if they paid more when buying things, the higher-ups would give the staff more wages.

To sum up, it is better to bring your own things when traveling.

The most outrageous thing is that some scenic spots prohibit bringing in your own food and alcohol, on the grounds that they are afraid of polluting the ecological environment.

It is recommended that all plastic bags purchased in scenic spots can be self-degradable.

"Anyway, we are not fools. We won't pay this IQ tax. We have bought everything we need before we go out. At most, we can find a hotel on the top of the mountain to stay for the night and have a meal. We should not be fooled by things like ten yuan for a sausage and fifteen yuan for a small bottle of Coke."

Tang Yuze's family's current conditions are actually pretty good, but he feels uncomfortable when he thinks that his money was cheated away.

Fortunately, Tang Liu prepared some

“There are so many people…”

"It's winter vacation after all, so it's normal for people to go out and travel."

"I heard that there won't be so many people when we reach the top of the mountain, right?"

A few days ago, Xia Jinxi saw an article using the mobile phone that Tang Yuze had just bought for her. The title was "The foot of the mountain is always crowded, you have to go to the top of the mountain to see."

This short essay of less than 500 words explains the truth that many people give up halfway, but only those who persevere to the end can see the most beautiful scenery. She was quite touched when she read it.

"It's difficult. There will be more people on the top of the mountain."

"why?"

"Look up for yourself."

Xia Jinxi heard this and looked into the distance. What she saw were rows of steel ropes.

I see, a cable car...

"Modern people are smarter than you think."

Mountain climbing is a troublesome and energy-wasting thing for most people. Even though many people want to experience the process of climbing to the summit in person at the beginning, most of them eventually give up halfway and find excuses to take the cable car.

Tang Yuze really doesn't like this feeling of only pursuing results.

Just like when he was in junior high school, when there was no system, he also worked hard to achieve some results in the sports meet.

As a result, after working hard, he was assigned to a group with many athletes due to his bad luck after only passing the first round.

There is no need to say more about who is the host of the sports meeting.

In fact, he himself didn't care so much about the results. On the contrary, Tang Yuze quite enjoyed the process of exercising during that period.

However, a certain annoying guy said:

"If I had known I should not have let Tang Yuze take part in the 100m. He is of no use at all."

Damn, I accidentally remembered that face again.

Tang Yuze quickly shook off the not-so-good memories.

Shift your attention back to the scenery halfway up the mountain.

After resting for a while, the family continued to climb up the mountain.

When we reached the top of the mountain, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening.

"Hello, let's check in the room."

"Have you made an online reservation in advance?"

"Yes, here it is."

"Okay, please show me your relevant documents..."

After completing the check-in procedures, the lady at the front desk handed Tang Liu two room cards.

3017 and 4027.

Not even two rooms on one floor...

"Isn't there a room closer?"

"I'm very sorry, the other rooms are occupied. These are the closest two."

So, the family was faced with another big problem.

How to allocate rooms?

"Xixi and I will live on the third floor, and Yuze and her husband will live on the fourth floor, right?"

Taking into account the differences between men and women, Lin Hui made a decision.

"No."

Tang Liu rejected his proposal.

"There are so many people in the hotel, it's not safe for you and Xixi to live together."

Tang Liu continued to propose.

"Let's just stay in one room, and let Yuze and Xixi stay in another."

"But I'm afraid that Tang Yuze might be up to something bad..."

"Tang Yuze is not a beast, there won't be any problem."

Listening to Tang Liu's words, Lin Hui thought for a while.

Indeed, although her son was so well-off, Lin Hui had never heard of him having a good relationship with any girl.

It seems that the only things he is interested in are games and anime.

If there weren't quite a few cute and pretty girls among the action figures that Tang Yuze bought with his scholarship, Lin Hui would have doubted his sexual orientation.

Moreover, the night before yesterday they also made Xia Jinxi and Tang Yuze stay with them for the whole night.

Hotels are a mixed bag to begin with, let alone a hotel in the mountains.

There is no absolute security guarantee.

At this time, instead of worrying about the differences between men and women, it is better to consider safety risks first.

"Okay, so be it."

Tang Liu turned his head and looked at Tang Yuze and Xia Jinxi.

"That's it, Yuze, Xixi is in your care tonight."

"Don't open the door to anyone at night. Lin Hui and I will call you in advance if there is anything."

"Let's go watch the sunrise early tomorrow morning. Don't leave it too late."
