It was already past three in the afternoon when we arrived in Tai City.

After getting out of the carriage, many people were holding up their mobile phones on the platform to take pictures of the mountains in the distance. The fog was heavy today and it was hazy.

Jiang Ning had previously privately chatted with the squad leader, asking about their accommodation location, and contacted Shao Shuangshuang on the way, asking her to temporarily change the hotel where she lived, which was only a hundred or two hundred meters away from Huang Zhongfei and the others.

"Jiang Ning, have you noticed that the sun is very scorching?"

"A little bit."

Xue Yuantong walked and walked, passing by a shady area, and felt that the temperature dropped instantly. She found that the climate in Tai City seemed to be different from that in Yuzhou.

The sun in Yuzhou is much gentler.

After following the crowd out of the station, everyone gathered together. Huang Zhongfei looked at the sun and said, "The place we live is four kilometers away from us. Taking a taxi costs just over 10 yuan. It's more cost-effective if there are more of us."

He specifically asked everyone for their opinions.

No one had any objection.

Huang Zhongfei helped stop the car and saw off several people one by one, and finally got into the same taxi as Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong.

…

Shandong University of Science and Technology, surrounding hotels.

Xue Yuantong stayed in a hotel for the first time and saw a magnificent lobby with marble floors, flowers and green plants on the walls, and crystal chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling.

"Hello, sir..." The waiter at the front desk smiled kindly and spoke enthusiastically.

Jiang Ning showed his ID card: "Two rooms."

"Okay." The waiter checked in.

Soon, two room cards were handed over, along with 4 breakfast coupons: "Hello, the restaurant will provide breakfast before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Jiang Ning collected the room card and took away Xue Yuantong, who was cowering at the side.

Xue Yuantong asked in a low voice: "Aren't two rooms expensive?"

Jiang Ning: "Two rooms, totaling just over 600 yuan a night."

In Tai'an in 2014, it was not a festival, so the hotel at this price was pretty good.

Xue Yuantong took a breath of cold air!

A pair of smart eyes widened, unbelievable, 600 yuan! How many snacks can you buy!

Jiang Ning said: "Don't forget that the prize your mother won is 30,000 yuan. We have 50 days left in the summer vacation. Even if we stay in a hotel every day, we won't be able to spend it all."

"It's invalid when it expires."

After saying this, Xue Yuantong felt much more balanced.

She glanced at the breakfast coupons again. It was the first time she saw this thing. She said confidently: "Four breakfast coupons are actually not bad, we can finish them."

Jiang Ning: "You can't finish it. This is a buffet breakfast coupon, a buffet."

Xue Yuantong suddenly felt heartbroken, "What should I do? It's a waste!"

Jiang Ning: "It doesn't matter. Yang Sheng lives not far anyway, so I'll give it to her."

Taking the elevator all the way to the 9th floor, before entering the room, Jiang Ning activated her consciousness to scan and clean the room to ensure that the living environment was spotless.

He first went to room 907 and swiped the room card for Xue Yuantong.

As soon as he entered the room, Xue Yuantong didn't pay attention to anything else. He saw several small baskets on the table, including oranges, green dates, peaches and other fruits.

There are also potato chips, melon seeds, biscuits, dried fish, and Wangwang snow cakes, all of familiar brands.

Xue Yuantong asked nervously: "Is there any charge?"

After saying this, she realized that her lack of knowledge was exposed.

Jiang Ning: "It's free, you can eat whatever you want."

He opened the refrigerator and found purified water, Coke, several small boxes of yogurt, and a few popsicles in the freezer above.

Xue Yuantong's eyes shone. If it was free, with her character, she would definitely leave no one behind!

Jiang Ning checked the other rooms with his consciousness and found that they also had these things. It seemed that they were the basic configuration of this hotel.

Xue Yuantong got familiar with the hotel. The room was large and clean, with all the necessary facilities, and even a bathtub!

She changed into slippers, connected her phone to wifi, then turned on the TV, sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, ate snacks and drank a drink, overlooking the Thai city.

Jiang Ning did not go back to the room for the time being, watching TV with Xue Yuantong.

It's very similar to how the two get along at home, except that the hotel TV is bigger, the view is wider, and there are mountains in the distance.

Xue Yuantong felt that everything was novel and the comfortable experience made her feel happy during the trip, and she even developed a good impression of Taishi.

She never forgot to send photos to her mother and Chu Chu.

…

The lights are on and the neon lights are flashing.

At the entrance of the hotel, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong arrived hand in hand.

Huang Zhongfei and his party just arrived, and Guo Kunnan said excitedly: "Let's go and have barbecue!"

"Try the barbecue in Shandong Province!" Shan Kaiquan also yearned for it.

They sat on hard seats for five hours and did not rest after returning. Dong Qingfeng called them to play where Jiang Yanan lived.

The house of Huang Zhongfei's relatives is well-decorated, and there is a 55-inch imported big-name TV in the living room. The boys and girls gather together to watch variety shows and chat, having a great time.

Huang Zhongfei originally planned to buy some food, but Shan Kaiquan and the others refused, so he waited until now to go out for barbecue.

Three taxis started. Sitting in Jiang Ning's car were Yang Sheng and Tang Fu.

Jiang Ning was the co-pilot, and little Xue Yuantong was on the right side. She gave two buffet breakfast coupons to Yang Sheng:

"Jiang Ning and I don't have enough. Come to the hotel for breakfast tomorrow morning."

Yang Sheng hadn't spoken yet, so Tang Fu was confused: "Why are there two more coupons? Why don't you live together?"

Jiang Ning: "Two rooms."

Yang Sheng: "Tang Fu, are you stupid?"

We are all high school students after all. Although Yang Sheng has always been informal and straightforward, she still knows a thing or two about the relationship between men and women.

In her opinion, two rooms are reasonable, even though Xue Yuantong is very young.

Yang Sheng took the breakfast coupon: "Thank you, I'll treat you to snacks tomorrow night."

There are many types of hotel buffets, and some also include local specialties. The hotel Jiang Ning stayed in has a more grand appearance, so I think the breakfast is not bad.

The taxi was weaving in and out of the crowd. Xue Yuantong looked at the scenery outside the window. Jiang Ning closed his eyes. Despite this, he still retained a trace of consciousness to prevent accidents.

…

Beer and BBQ City. Wide and clean streets.

"Squad leader, where are we going to eat?" Shan Kaiquan looked at the dazzling shops.

Huang Zhongfei: "Just in front, come with me."

In almost every barbecue restaurant ahead, there are people standing on the roadside soliciting customers. This is a rare sight in Yuzhou.

Huang Zhongfei declined everyone and stopped in front of a particularly large barbecue restaurant.

At a glance, the hall looks like a school cafeteria, with dozens of tables and most of the guests sitting there.

Under the leadership of the waiter, everyone came to a seat near the south. Two long tables were put together, enough to seat ten people.

A huge screen plays football matches, and people watch the matches while eating.

When ordering, Shan Kaiquan discovered that the mutton skewers in Taishi were not counted by skewers, but by kilograms, which made him amazed.

Huang Zhongfei ordered two kilograms of mutton first, and everyone then ordered dishes one by one.

Jiang Yanan looked at a nearby table of guests and said to Yu Wen: "Those two eldest brothers are so strong!"

Yu Wen turned around and saw that, sure enough, a bald man and a crew-cut man, who were both muscular and stronger than the two men, were blowing beer bottles.

Usually when meeting such people, Yu Wen would definitely stay away.

Dong Qingfeng next to him observed his words: "Eat with confidence, Jiang Ning is here, what are you afraid of!"

Apart from anything else, traveling with Jiang Ning means they have extra bodyguards to prevent accidents.

Even though Yu Wen only loves the squad leader, she felt relieved after hearing this.

"Would you like canned hawthorn juice? It's a specialty here and it's quite delicious." Huang Zhongfei recommended.

"Have a can!" Shan Kaiquan and others said in unison.

"Let's set up a bar." Yang Sheng patted the table, "Just draft beer. It's refreshing."

Looking at Yang Sheng's domineering and bold appearance, Shan Kaiquan actually recalled his tragic past of being a slave in the classroom. Shan Kaiquan slapped the table:

"Squad leader, order some wine and I'll beat you today!"
