Chapter 2115 Journey to the Pre-Wedding Party

"You go, I won't go." Luo Yue's words were a bit like a trap.

Yang Cheng, who is full of desire to survive, has no objection at all, "If I don't go, I won't go, I won't go if I'm killed~"

"Go, go, I'm not joking." Luo Yue said again.

Yang Cheng kept shaking her head, "No, no, you can rest assured of me?"

Luo Yue gave him an angry look, "I'm not worrying about you, I'm not seeing anything."

In fact, Yang Cheng still had thoughts in his heart. A few months earlier, William, including David Ellison, had booked his pre-wedding party. Before that, he had been procrastinating and not agreeing, because he was afraid that Luo Yue would think too much.

But right now she doesn't seem to mind, so. . .

Observing Luo Yue's eyes furtively, he asked tentatively, "Then shall I go around?"

Luo Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Go, go~"

Yang Cheng is like a child who has received a Christmas gift. He picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to David Ellison: Hurry up and arrange it, my pre-wedding party.

But before the pre-wedding party, there are still some things to do. His family's yacht, the Emerald, has already set off from Los Angeles for the Fiji Islands with some relatives and friends in advance. Yang Cheng's grandfather Yang Yuanshan is sitting on the boat and is expected to arrive about three days before the wedding. .

The expedition yacht also went to sea for the final sea trial more than half a month ago, and rushed all the way to the Fiji Islands, and was officially delivered on the wedding day.

The yacht has won extensive attention from the media since it was launched into the sea. All-pervasive reporters have already dug out the owner of this luxurious expedition yacht, and Yang Cheng has once again made the headlines of the major media.

Especially in the Chinese world, he is famous. His super yacht, which has not been publicly named, has basically locked the title of the number one yacht in the Chinese world. Many people who did not pay much attention to financial news before know this time. In the United States, there is such a rich young man of Chinese descent.

Because of this, Yang Cheng had a headache for a long time, and made countless phone calls before the media suppressed the news.

This is the reason he was educated since he was a child. If he is an entertainment star, it will be fine, but this is a city, and the book is almost finished. Does it make sense to have this name? Wait until the next plane to consider Wang batian's routine.

. . .

Well, the pre-wedding party, it's too bland and boring,

It is necessary to play tricks, but this is something that David Ellison needs to consider. Yang Cheng doesn't need to pay a penny, just wait and enjoy the surprise.

So 10 days before the official wedding, Yang Cheng sat in a small private jet temporarily rented by David Ellison, joined William and the others, and flew to the northern part of Canada together.

This made Yang Cheng very curious. Are you going to see the aurora? It would be boring if it was just that.

Fortunately, Yang Cheng was comforted by the young model who was traveling with her. This Chinese young model has just made her debut and has not officially appeared on stage. She is extremely immature in all aspects. There is no need to question it. resources than anyone else?

The plane finally landed in the famous Dawson City in Canadian history. The moment it landed, Yang Cheng's curiosity was completely aroused. He thought he was going to see the aurora, but since he chose Dawson to land, it must not be just to see the aurora. So simple.

The three regions of Canada are located in the icy and sparsely populated Arctic region, while the Yukon Territory is called "the strangest region" by many Canadians because of its remoteness and inconvenient transportation. Dawson is the former capital of the Yukon Territory.

"Yukon cold" not only refers to the weather, but also refers to deserted, calm, and a unique "high cold" temperament.

However, it gets "hot" here in summer now. Dawson, the second largest city in the Yukon with a permanent population of only a few thousand people, welcomes at least 60,000 tourists every summer. What attracts them is "the sun never sets" And other natural landscapes, as well as the historical heritage left by the North American Gold Rush era.

The streets with sparse trees are lined with quaint old-fashioned buildings, and the oldest casino in Canada is full of people who "gamble and enjoy themselves" or watch the performances of Cancan dancers. The "gold rush" era.

Although it is said that it is summer now, the temperature in Dawson is only in the early 20s, and the magnificent Palace Theater overflows with the melody of music.

Outside the city, there are many pedestrians on the ancient boardwalk. On the famous Zanghong Cliff, people overlook the entire city and the confluence of the Yukon River and the Clendale River.

The "Midnight Building" rises at an altitude of 880 meters. People linger here just to watch the unique "sunset that never sets" - because it is located in the Arctic region, the summer night here is extremely short.

Seen from the city, the sun will set for a few hours on most days, but when you stand on the top floor of the "Midnight Building", you will be surprised to find that the setting sun never sets, but quietly lurks in the desolate Ogrivie in the distance. Among the mountains, it didn't take long to jump out again, but lazily refused to hang on top of people's heads.

In addition to "the sun never sets", the "gold rush" is also a major sight to visit in Dawson. Many buildings in the previous gold rush era have changed their uses: the largest women's branch known as the "gold selling cave" at that time has become Dawson One of the two most famous high-end hotels. During the peak tourist season, the residents are mainly "parent-child travel" families. I don't know if those mothers and children know that the purpose of the beautiful-looking hotel was so ambiguous;

The former courthouse on Fifth Avenue is now the Dawson City Museum, where you can see a collection of antiques and "fake antiques": blacksmiths, shops, gold diggers' cabins, bars, mining trains... everything Keep or restore it to what it looked like during the gold rush.

The former Central Hotel is still there, and the church still emits the sound of singing and music from time to time. There are fewer bars, casinos and restaurants, but many are still open. On summer nights, people still place bets, drink alcohol and watch cancan dances.

This city, which rose due to the gold rush, is still enjoying the dividends after the gold rush has faded.

In 1896, gold diggers gathered in Dawson, a population of 500, and then went deep into the wilderness, digging through the hard permafrost, looking for the gold of their dreams. Two years later, the population of Dawson expanded to more than 30,000, and tall warehouses and warehouses were built here. Rows upon rows of pubs, nightclubs, casinos and women's homes have sprung up in the building.

Gold panning in the Arctic is difficult and boring. Gold prospectors usually dig in the cold wilderness, try their luck, consume energy and life, and return to Dawson to spend a lot of money in their spare time. Therefore, various entertainment venues here never lack customers.

In order to attract tourists, many casinos and bars have spared no expense in inviting enthusiastic girls from far away places like California and Mexico to put on big skirts and dance the exciting cancan dance, which is full of tropical style. Since then, it has become the "signboard" of the polar city of Dawson.

Later, a magnificent court building and a resplendent cathedral were built here.

The famous American writer Jack London took a boat during the peak of the gold rush in 1897 and drifted 800 kilometers along the Yukon River to Dawson. "Gold Rush".

Now in Dawson, the former residence of Jack London is still quietly half-opened for people to pay tribute to. Yang Cheng and the others also went. In his words, he "visited the former residence of Jack London with the mentality of worshiping the temple of wealth." of.

However, the good times didn't last long, and the gold rush ebbed from 1899. By the end of the 1970s, Dawson finally became a small town with a population of only a thousand.

However, if you follow the footsteps of the former gold diggers and run farther south, deep into the barren mountains and wilderness, you can see more relics of the former gold diggers, such as the most famous No. 4 mining machine near Grand Forks, It was known as the "King of Luck" back then, and most of the myths of the gold rush were related to this mining machine.

If you don’t want to go too far, you can go to the river to see the well-repaired ship Keno. Because it betrayed Canadian interests to the British back then, and secretly gave it to the United States, it made Yukon a place close to the ocean but not The provinces and regions with an inch of coastline are dissatisfied. Today's Dawson people like to talk about the waterway of the gold rush (because it came from Canada), but they are actually more used. The "gold rush road" from the United States "I don't want to mention more.

In fact, the gold here has not been exhausted. Until today, the outer suburbs of Dawson and the farther cold mountains and plains are still producing gold continuously.

It's just that it has long since changed from the original gold panning of a solo or "mutual aid group" to a group operation of large companies and large capitals.

The era of gold diggers is gone, and the prosperity of Dawson is gone forever. After the short but lively summer, here will be shrouded in the long cold night unique to high latitudes. If the sound stops, even the Dawson City Museum will be closed for half a year.

However, Yang Cheng didn't bother to think about the desolation and loneliness after the tourists had dispersed. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to this trip to the pre-wedding party carefully planned by David Ellison.

Not long after landing, according to the plan, they used Dawson's ancient tradition to open the chapter of this party.

The so-called tradition is that people who come to Dawson must go to the bar in the city center and try the sour toe cocktail. This is a local specialty. Only the most courageous people dare to taste this kind of appalling wine. It is true. Real human toes, shriveled toes like mummies!

Each challenger must put the toe of this real person in the spirits and drink it in one gulp. The toe must touch the lips, which means that he will be very lucky in the future and will also get a certificate, which proves that he is a member of the Sour Toe Cocktail Association. . .

The sour toe cocktail has been around for decades in Dawson City. It was created by Dick Stephenson, the captain of a Yukon River cruise ship. One day in September 1973, he picked up a jelly on the cabin floor. Broken toe, and then this disgusting cocktail idea.

He said to the outside world that "those who dare to drink this glass of wine and let their toes touch their lips will be rewarded", and this activity has started since then.

Now the "Sour Toe Cocktail" challenge is held every year. Since the toes have been soaked in wine for many years, there will never be any health problems.

Now there are more than 20,000 members of the Sour Toe Cocktail Association. A total of 9 toes were accidentally swallowed by drinkers, including a 91-year-old gentleman...
