159. Your sister-in-law is rich(1/2)

On the morning of the second day after I checked in the hotel, Tong Miao talked about some local situations and informed me of the laws and regulations that must be followed. Unlike in China, some places will be very different. It is better to be careful when you go out.

Each of them will disperse the activities after they get a personal note.

Everyone is a master's and doctoral student, and the CET-6 English CET-6 certificate is the most basic requirement. Some doctoral students have also studied abroad, and master's students also have a certain degree of oral ability, so they will not be able to speak eloquently. At least they can still do it by simply communicating and asking for directions and buying something.

Just after ten o'clock, the four of them got into a private car.

The young girl was driving, wearing a big tan wave and a pair of sunglasses. When she saw Ji Qing, she stepped forward and gave her a big hug: "How is your jet lag? Are you in good spirits?"

Ji Qing smiled and said, "It's not bad. I fell asleep at around 4 a.m., so I sniffed for five hours."

"It's not bad, it's already great that the jet lag is like this for the first time." Zhu Yating became happier and happier. She had been waiting for too long this day, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, just got up."

"Then let's go to the Pike market, where there are seafood and Ferris wheels." Zhu Yating suggested, "It's the first time you guys are here, let's go together."

Only then did Xu Jiakang and Gu Liang know what Qi Jing meant by saying "He is so bitter". After seeing this, they shook their hands embarrassedly: "We just wander around, let's forget it..."

The air tickets and accommodations here are paid for by Danish Medical University and the University of Washington Medical College, and the expenses of eating, drinking and having fun are all at your own expense. They are all resident doctors, just working, and their salary is not high without savings. On the first day, they were seafood and casually playing around. What should I do if I do in the next half month?

Besides, when other couples go out to play, they don’t look like they are all light bulbs...

"Hey, why have you gotten in the car?" Xu Jiakang turned to look inside the car. Qi Jing had already gotten in the car.

"It's rare to see my sister-in-law, it's hard to refuse the kindness."

Xu Jiakang: Shameless!

"I said you two are so polite." Qi Jing patted the cushion beside him and said with a smile, "I didn't react when I saw this car? Your sister-in-law has a driver's license and a luxury car here, but she is a rich man."

"You just don't treat yourself as an outsider." Zhu Yating said angrily.

Qi Jing had already taken the map in his hands: "Pyke market is consumed by ordinary people, and it is not expensive. Five people have a meal that is not enough for you to have a single meal. What's the cushy amount of money for you?"

"That's right."

Unfortunately, they are still singles and their social circles are too small. Most of the women they have seen come to the hospital for treatment. I know that Ji Qing has a girlfriend, but I really didn't expect that he could "get" such a rich woman, and even if her boyfriend attends a seminar, he can come to see him at his own expense.

"Only own expense? No, I was here a week ago."

Zhu Yating explained with a smile: "My dad has a branch here and a place to live. He will come here for a while in the ** month of each year. This car belongs to my dad, and it happens to be borrowed for use these days."

"Is that exaggerated?" The two of them were obviously shocked.

"Haha, it's just a small company." Zhu Yating humbly mentioned, "In fact, in the United States, our family only has houses in Seattle and Los Angeles. I didn't expect that things would be so coincidental."

Four: No, it’s not a coincidence at all, this is the power of money.

"Actually, our school has cooperated with the medical school here a long time ago, and we send people here to do research every year." Ji Qing thought for a while and said, "This year, I seem to be a deputy senior in Renhe's spinal surgery department. I have to stay for three months."

"Well, I remember Wu Tongshan was the doctoral student here."

Zhu Yating looked at the street in front and said with a smile: "Your medical school is quite good at choosing places. Seattle is the most suitable city for people to live and work in the world."

"The temperate oceanic climate is gentle and humid all year round." Qi Jing yawned and began to look for the target he wanted to visit. "The lowest winter here is not as low as it can drop, and the highest summer is only in its early 20s, but it rains a little more frequently."

"Do you know very well? Have you been here before?" Zhu Yating asked.

"No." Qi Jing did come, but shook his head and denied, "I'm not them, I've done my homework before I came. Otherwise, just because of them, they would have to stay in the hotel today to cause the jet lag."

"Haha, indeed, it's not easy for the first time to get the jet lag so smooth." Zhu Yating stopped the car when she saw the red light and turned around and asked, "What are your arrangements for eating?"

No one has come before, so naturally I don’t know where to go.

At this time, Qi Jing looked at the map and spoke: "Will you pass by the lake view cemetery from the hotel to Pike Farmers' Market? Is it far away?"

"Not far away, you can get there after crossing the bridge. If you want to go, I will park your car at the entrance of the opposite community." Zhu Yating smiled, "I didn't expect you to want to go there."

"After all, I have practiced it." Qi Jing made a few punches, "Isn't it a waste if I come to Seattle to see Bruce Lee's tomb?"

"Bruce Lee's tomb? Then I have to go and have a look."

"So it's in Seattle. Since you've come here, you can't miss it."

"It's true that you don't know." Qi Jing joked, "I thought you didn't know him."

"How could a generation of masters not recognize him!"

"Yes, we have always focused on medical studies, but we know little about other things, but not ignorance. This is still the case in childhood."

......

The Lake View Cemetery is a Feng Shui treasure land with mountains and water on the back. There are thousands of tombstones inside. Bruce Lee and his son's tomb are among them. Compared with other fancy tombstones with artistic atmosphere, their two red and black look too ordinary.

But no matter how ordinary they are, they have the largest number of flowers and mourning people here.

When Qi Jing and his group went there, they met several American uncles in their thirties and forties, who specially brought bouquets of flowers to visit the tombs. They also brought clean wipes and carefully wiped the tombstones with flowers. Before leaving, they did not forget to whisper a few goodbye words, and finally ended with "master, iloveyou".

The whole process didn't last long and it ended in less than half an hour. However, when they talked about Bruce Lee's movies, they seemed to be more than ten years younger, and became a rare wonderful time to completely forget their doctor's identity.

The next stop is Zhu Yating's Pike Market in downtown, Seattle, which is the oldest farmers' market in the United States and the earliest place in Seattle to prevent middlemen from making profits.

Originally, it was a place where farmers and fishermen sell agricultural goods, but with the modernization of the city, the focus of trading has been shifted to supermarkets, convenience stores, and grocery stores. Instead, it has become a tourist attraction in Seattle because of the large number of cake shops, handicraft shops and various cuisines around the world.

In recent years, the market has become increasingly moving towards art, and small galleries, expos and concert halls have emerged. You will see many bronze statues of pigs on the road, which is a symbol of this place.

Locals and tourists who come to buy can be seen everywhere on the street, and some artists who sell their musical instruments can also perform on the street. They will hum a song when they are in high spirits.

There are definitely the most guitars, and there are black tubes, saxos and the most sexy bass. For the sake of fun, there are even street upright pianos specially prepared for them. As long as you sit in that seat, anyone can be a pianist.

If you meet, if you sound good, passers-by will gather around, and taking photos and souvenirs are naturally indispensable.

The most famous one in the market is the world's first Starbucks coffee shop.

Starbucks entered the domestic market only in 1999. These people don’t have much interaction with Starbucks, and they drink more of Nestle Instant. But Qi Jing is different. After the income level rose in the next few years, many days and nights of emergency rooms were made by taking out for a new coffee shop outside the hospital.

"Go in and buy a cup, and then go eat seafood~" Qi Jing pulled out his credit card and said, "This time we will let our generous bald boss Xu treat you. We will rely on my sister-in-law for lunch later."

"OK."

Although Zhu Yating didn't care, she still smiled and exposed him: "Here, Starbucks is positioned as a fast-food coffee shop. Generally, there is no place for coffee breaks in the store. In China, Starbucks is more like a coffee shop, and the charges are more expensive."

"Sister-in-law, don't say that. At least a cup of latte costs 3 dollars." Qi Jing flipped through the cash in his hand, "I have to buy some souvenirs and cups."

"Oh, yes, yes, you came here to bring the important task assigned by Zishan. Speaking of Zishan..."

Zhu Yating coughed twice as soon as she finished speaking, and her eyes touched Qi Jing and then flashed away: "When it comes to Zishan, she is quite busy now, it's a pity that she didn't come here."

"It seems like I'm dealing with some case."

"Look, the coffee shop is here, go in quickly."

This Starbucks has an important memorial significance for the entire company. The cabinets are filled with oversized pike pigs made of a large number of coffee beans. Other small souvenirs are also emerging one after another. Some people have packaged and bought their coffee beans. Of course, what Qi Jing cares about the most is the commemorative coffee cup printed with the first Starbucks label.

He had one back then, but now he naturally cannot leave it with Zishan.

Qi Jing and Ji Qing both bought a pair and took the "cup" of lottery tickets and sprinkled dog food to the other two.

Leaving Starbucks, several people turned into the busiest small shop street in downtown. Holding coffee in their hands, looking at the window filled with various pastries and snacks, their pockets began to move.

As long as you let go of your self-control, you will unconditionally surrender to these novel foods you have never seen before. Even if some foods are not very good, this deficiency will be covered up due to the freshness of your taste.

After eating all the way, the few people forgot about the lunch they had originally thought.

"It's okay, it's time to keep the seafood at night." Zhu Yating smiled and opened her cell phone, calling her home, "Hey, is Uncle Xia here?"

......

"Oh, okay, let him come out at 3 pm to pick me up. I guess he will play for a while."

......

"I got it, I'll come back early."

After saying that, she gave Ji Qinglu a playful face, and the two of them held hands and led the other three to head towards the famous gumwall.

Gum is chewing gum, gumwall is a wall covered with chewing gum, located in an alley in Pike Market.

This is the second dirty tourist attraction in the world and has long been the first in the nausea rankings. The act of sticking gum on this wall first began in 1993. In order to prevent spitting gum, there was a comedy show that prohibited the audience from bringing gum.

However, the free Americans were ingenious and began to stick chewing gum on the walls outside the theater to express their dissatisfaction.

When one person takes action, others follow the example. The amount of chewing gum far exceeds the processing speed of the cleaners. And the more they play, the more they play, the more they just stick a coin at the beginning, and then someone starts to engage in performance art, relying on the ductility of chewing gum, they pull out various shapes.

When you can't stop the other person, you must learn to enjoy it.

The municipality is a model. Since you like sticking so much, it is not enough to make this place a scenic spot. It is also not enough to open a few gum shops at both ends of the alley. They have all the colors, flavors and sizes, making people stick enough at one time.

However, for Qi Jing and the others, this wall was indeed a bit disgusting, and they just took a look and then pulled away.

However, it still makes them feel incredible that even if you do it casually, you can make it a work of art. But the artistic atmosphere has long been combined with this city dominated by high-tech manufacturing, and even a simple public toilet also contains medical connotations.

"Why are there no signs for men and women here?"

"Look at the ground." Qi Jing washed his hands and said, "It's obvious that the reminder has been made."

Xu Jiakang looked at the black and white velvet carpet at the doors, one with "xx" and the other with "xy".

"Is it so connotation based on sex chromosomes..."

Sometimes Chinese people also joined in, took out rice paper, brushes and ink from their ancestors, and did not write poems or paint ink, and specifically gave foreigners Chinese names.

The oriental elements are profound and mysterious, and you can make a profit in just a few transactions.
