Chapter 386 Are you a foot basin person?

Li Duoyu took Zhou Xiaoying out of the hotel. As soon as they went out, they saw a rickshaw parked nearby.

"Uncle, shall we go?"

"Let's go, boss, where are we going?"

Li Duoyu pointed to the tall building not far away, which could be seen by looking up, and said, "Please take me to that restaurant."

The driver was stunned for a moment, and kindly reminded: "You said the 37th floor, that is not open to us, only foreign guests and overseas Chinese."

(In that era, Jinling locals generally called it the 37th floor.)

Zhou Xiaoying looked at Li Duoyu suddenly, and finally knew why Li Duoyu refused to tell her just now.

Zhou Xiaoying frowned and pulled Li Duoyu's clothes:

"Duoyu, let's just stay in a hotel or guesthouse. Don't go there. We will be kicked out later, which will be embarrassing."

The old man said: "Yes, the guards there are very fierce. They won't let us get close to the tricycles. We will be scolded and driven away immediately."

Li Duoyu patted her hands and smiled: "Just watch and don't say anything."

The driver shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I'm telling you this kindly. If you don't believe it, you won't even be able to get through the door later."

The driver took only ten minutes to send Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying to the vicinity of the 37th floor.

"We can only be sent here. We won't be allowed to get close to the front."

After arriving at the door of Jinling Hotel, Zhou Xiaoying looked up at the hotel and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Looking from the bottom up, it was very high.

Li Duoyu remembered that Jinling Hotel was completed only two years ago. It has 37 floors and is 110 meters high. It is currently the tallest building in China.

This hotel is currently the most famous attraction in Jinling. When tourists come to Jinling, they can choose not to go to Confucius Temple, Presidential Palace, or Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, but they must visit Jinling Hotel.

When Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying got off the tricycle, they found that many people were lying on the fence outside the hotel, all looking at this tall building.

There were several photographers holding cameras, holding signs in their hands, shouting: "Fellow countryman, do you want to take a photo? Only two yuan per photo."

"Can it be cheaper?"

"It's really cheap. Film is expensive."

At this time, a couple asked: "Master, when can I get the photos after taking them?"

"Maybe we have to wait for four days."

"Forget it, we won't be in Jinling the day after tomorrow."

"You can leave your contact information. I can send it to your house for free after developing the photos."

"Really? Then take a photo of the two of us. Remember to take the whole building in the photo."

"Okay."

In addition to the crowd of onlookers.

There are many taxis parked in front of the hotel, but they are not the familiar Santana, but some relatively cheap cars.

For example, Fiat, Lada, Volga, Polonez, this kind of car is the main model of this era, and the cheaper ones can be bought for 30,000 or 40,000 yuan.

In this era, taxi drivers are the top professions in the blind date corner pyramid, much more awesome than the so-called civil servants in later generations.

Because most of these taxi drivers earn foreign exchange, they only pick up foreign guests and overseas Chinese, and they will hardly take the initiative to pick up ordinary people.

If you are lucky, it is not a problem to earn dozens of yuan a day. If you meet a generous foreign guest, you may even give a tip.

I heard that in two or three years, you can pay off all the money you borrowed to buy a car, which is much more profitable than the coastal fishermen.

When the two came to the door of the hotel, Zhou Xiaoying immediately noticed the two tall guards.

The moment their eyes met, Zhou Xiaoying immediately became timid and wanted to turn around and run.

"Duoyu, let's not go."

"We are here, don't be afraid, just follow me and don't talk."

Seeing Li Duoyu walk up so arrogantly, Zhou Xiaoying could only grit her teeth and follow him.

Forget it, if you are driven away, you are driven away.

Sure enough, Li Duoyu was stopped by the guards just as he approached, and the other party's attitude was still very good.

"Sorry, no visitors are allowed here, you can't go any further."

Li Duoyu coughed twice, and did not communicate with him in Mandarin, but said in Japanese:

"Airborne, we are here to stay."

The guard was a little surprised to see that the young man in front of him was speaking Japanese, and then he talked to Li Duoyu in very poor English.

"Are you from 'Foot Basin'? Please show me your ID."

After hearing that poor English.

Li Duoyu almost couldn't help laughing, because his English level was probably about the same as his.

Maybe he would be better, after all, during the years of working illegally in the island country, foreigners often came to the restaurant, and he learned a little bit by the way. In order not to be exposed, Li Duoyu continued to communicate in Japanese: "No, Yingge Ruixu, can you find someone who can speak Japanese?"

Seeing that the communication was not going well, the guard was in trouble. He had seen many foreign guests, but most of them were dressed very well.

The kind that can be recognized at a glance, but the person who speaks fluent Japanese but does not have the temperament of a foreign guest from beginning to end makes him a little unsure.

Especially the girl behind him, with that dress and hairstyle, it is obvious that she is a local.

Besides, foreign guests who come to stay in the hotel are usually accompanied by tour guides or leaders, and it is rare to see them like this.

Not far away.

The tricycle driver who had not left yet wiped the sweat on his body with a towel. After seeing the two of them being stopped, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "I guess he is another upstart who has never seen the world."

The coachman planned to wait for them here for a while. When they were driven away, they were not allowed to take his car back to the hotel.

Seeing that communication failed, and the other party spoke fluent Japanese, the guard was unsure for a moment, so he had to return to the post, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the manager for instructions.

Not a moment later.

A manager wearing a hip-hugging uniform hurried over and was surprised when he saw Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying.

Judging from her experience in receiving so many foreign guests, these two people looked like they were Chinese, which showed his calm expression.

“Simi Marseille.”

When the manager was about to ask, Li Duoyu took the lead and got angry:

"This is how you treat your guests. Your guards blocked me outside and refused to let us in."

After hearing this fluent Japanese, the female manager was stunned for a moment. Maybe she had made a mistake in judgment, and she quickly bowed and apologized:

"Simi Marseille, our security guards release people based on their IDs. You must have a China Travel Permit before you can check in."

Li Duoyu looked angry: "We really want to give him the certificate. My wife and I are photographers, and we came here to take pictures. We have been to Tianshan Mountain, Shangri-La, and the prairie.

Unexpectedly, on the train to Jinling, my ID, camera, and clothes were stolen. Fortunately, I still had some foreign exchange hidden in the soles of my shoes, otherwise they would have been stolen as well. "

After hearing what he said, the female manager finally put aside her doubts. It turned out that she was traveling in China for photography. No wonder she looked dusty.

Recently, there have indeed been several incidents where foreign guests went out to play alone and their belongings were stolen, and the leaders even became furious because of this incident.

"I'm really sorry for leaving such a bad impression on you." The foreman apologized while enthusiastically inviting them in.

Zhou Xiaoying was completely dumbfounded. No wonder Duoyu asked her to just smile and never speak, but what surprised her even more.

How come Duoyu's Japanese is so good? He even speaks it much more fluently than the female manager.

Seeing that the two young men were not kicked out, but instead invited in, the driver who was smoking and waiting opened his eyes as big as a bell and dropped his cigarette directly to the ground.

"Damn it, why did they let it in? These two people must not be overseas Chinese."

Zhou Xiaoying followed Li Duoyu closely, but as soon as she reached the gate, she was stumped because there was a door that kept revolving.

She didn't even know how to get in.

Li Duoyu held her hand and found that her palms were all sweaty. He whispered in her ear: "Follow me and I will take you in."

Li Duoyu held Zhou Xiaoying's hand and passed the revolving door very easily, and then was led by the female manager.

Li Duoyu made a simple registration at the front desk, casually writing down two Japanese names and contact addresses.

Hibi Nobita,

Minamoto Shizuka.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a foreign exchange coupon with a denomination of 100 yuan and asked for a suite.

What Li Duoyu and the others didn't expect was that when they entered the hotel, two men on motorcycles followed them secretly.

After seeing them check into the Jinling Hotel, the two young men frowned like bitter gourds.

They were the ones who reported before that the security guards who had just checked the ward were buddies with them, and their goal was very clear, which was to get back the letter that Zhang Damao gave him.

As long as there is no address, the person named Zhou Xiaoying will not be able to contact Zhou's family. If the old house is not rebuilt, the Zhou family on Hong Kong Island will not know about it, and their family can continue to receive money every year.

It can be seen that after the two people entered the Jinling Hotel, they also broke out in cold sweat.

"Those two people must be the Zhou family from Hong Kong Island. They came here to test our family. Otherwise, how could they stay at the Jinling Hotel?"

"I also think it's possible."

"However, if this happens, our family will be doomed. The Zhou family will definitely not send us any more money."

"What should I do now?"

"I don't know what to do. I also borrowed a loan from a credit union. If you don't send us money, how can I pay it back?"

I wish you all a Happy New Year,

Take off in 2024 and make a fortune!
