Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

I've heard that the night view of Tiananmen Square is even more beautiful than the daytime view.

Xiaomeng told her sister and took the subway there.

It wasn't that she didn't want to take a taxi; it was already close to the end of her workday.

Taking a taxi there might result in being stuck in traffic for several hours.

Xiaomeng walked a few dozen meters from the main gate of No. 7 Jia Courtyard and found a subway entrance. After standing for five stops, she arrived at Tiananmen Square.

This house was definitely a worthwhile purchase; it's so convenient.

Xiaomeng put all the house purchase documents into the storage compartment and went upstairs with a flick of her wrist.

The plaza on the ground is so spacious, and the lighting is really atmospheric.

It wasn't a holiday today, so there weren't many tourists. Xiaomeng happily took a few selfies. She also took a few photos with the national flag and the guards in the square, finally completing her sightseeing check-in task.

Unfortunately, you need to make an appointment in advance to go up Tiananmen Gate Tower, enter the Great Hall of the People, and go anywhere else.

We couldn't get into any of the iconic buildings in the square.

Okay, let's not go in for now. After DouDou recovers and is discharged from the hospital, she'll take her sister and DouDou for a trip together.

It was getting late, and Xiaomeng was about to head home when she suddenly heard a tour guide from a nearby group loudly announcing, "Friends, now that we've finished our visit, we're going to have dinner at the Great Hall of the People."

Good heavens, are we going to have a meal at the Great Hall of the People?

Is it that high-end?

Xiao Meng took a closer look and saw that the tour group was full of elderly tourists wearing little red hats. They didn't seem to be any special people.

How come they are allowed to eat inside the Great Hall of the People?

In Xiaomeng's mind, eating in the Great Hall of the People must mean eating a state banquet.

Out of curiosity, she followed the tour group.

The tour group walked south for a short distance and came to a gray building.

Indeed, the architectural style is exactly the same as that of the Great Hall of the People.

The sign in front of the building reads "Great Hall of the People Hotel" in large gold letters.

They were there to eat at the hotel restaurant.

Is this place open to the public?

Xiaomeng asked the reception manager at the entrance.

Wow, this place is actually open to the public.

Of course, it is permitted to operate during periods without large-scale conferences.

The buffet here is only 108 yuan per person, and the dishes are all prepared by chefs who also serve at state banquets. So, rounding up, it's practically like eating at a state banquet.

You can also order food, but the manager said you need to make a reservation in advance and register your identity and the reason for the banquet.

That sounds really impressive.

Xiaomeng immediately bought a buffet ticket.

There aren't any other restaurants around here, are there?

Xiaomeng was also a little hungry.

Feeling a little excited, she followed the crowd toward the banquet hall.

At the entrance to the banquet hall, waiters used a security screening machine to scan diners from head to toe for security checks.

Wow, that's impressive. Even just having a meal here requires going through security.

Xiaomeng took a plate from the cutlery table.

Wow, that's amazing! All the tableware has the logo of the Great Hall of the People on it, exactly the same as the ones in the lobby.

You must check in.

Xiaomeng picked up some prawns and braised pork ribs, arranged them on a plate, and then started taking pictures.

You have to eat it first before posting on WeChat Moments. In particular, you have to take a very clear picture of the Great Hall of the People logo on the plate.

After posting about eating on WeChat Moments, Xiaomeng started eating.

Not bad at all, except for the aura of being a state banquet. Xiaomeng thought the dishes tasted quite to her liking.

The prawns were fried until crispy and sprinkled with salt and pepper.

However, this salt and pepper seasoning is mild, with only a slight saltiness and spiciness.

Even Xiaomeng, a southerner, felt that this shrimp could be eaten plain, as it wasn't salty at all.

You can even finish the shrimp shells; there's practically no crumb left.

Braised pork ribs.

The bones in the middle of the ribs have been removed, so there's no need to worry about eating bones.

It has a rich, savory flavor, and the meat is succulent and melts in your mouth.

It has a light flavor and can be eaten on its own without rice.
