Li Mengxue glanced at her sisters, who were all in amazement. She was the only one who remained extremely calm. The current prosperity of Beijing was less than 1% of that in the future. There was really nothing to see.
They had already asked the staff at the train station about the bus route to the Beijing University Guesthouse.
A few of them decided to stay in a guesthouse first and then find a place to eat. Only after filling their stomachs would they have the energy to think about what to do next.
It was midday, and the bus was nearly empty, allowing them to secure seats.
While sitting on the bus, Yi Qingqing noticed many more sign-in locations.
Suddenly, she realized that finding all the sign-in locations in the entire city, like in the county town, would be a considerable undertaking.
She would have to plan carefully.
However, she spotted the People’s Bank, which was even more impressive than the one in the county town, with a brightly colored sign-in mark at its entrance.
Even though she was far away and couldn’t see the name of the sign-in location, she could guess that it was definitely the bank sign-in location.
She wondered if banks in the capital would be more generous with sign-in rewards.
Besides the bank, she also saw a department store and a cinema, both with sign-in marks at their entrances.
Then they arrived at the Beijing University Guesthouse.
The novelty of the capital faded a lot as the hunger in their stomachs grew.
After showing their identification, they booked three rooms: two double rooms and one triple room.
The girls would stay in pairs, and the triple room would be for the boys. However, they weren’t concerned about accommodations at this point. After putting their luggage away, they went to a ‘State-owned Xincheng Noodle Shop’ not far from the guesthouse.
The three types of noodle topping available are tomato and egg, sesame paste, and stewed meat.
Having skipped breakfast, they all unanimously ordered the braised pork knife-cut noodles; each of them was a ‘carnivore’.
[You have found the sign-in location behind the State-owned Xincheng Noodle Restaurant. Do you want to spend 2 sign-in points to sign in?]
When Yi Qingqing saw the sign-in mark, she knew that the chef in this noodle shop was probably only at Level 2.
However, even at Level 2, their knife-cut noodles might be exceptionally good.
“There are quite a lot of state-owned restaurants in the capital. I just saw a state-owned braised pork restaurant on the road!” Qian Lailai said.
“I wonder if it can compare to Master Wen’s skill at the state-owned restaurant in our county.” Li Mengxue thought, feeling that the state-run restaurants in Tieling County were a treasure of Tieling County.
Sure enough, after the noodles were served, she took a bite and found that they were delicious, but still not as good as Master Wen’s craftsmanship.
The noodles were chewy enough, but the braised pork topping was a little lacking.
“Alas, I won’t be able to enjoy Master Wen’s cooking anymore.” Wang Lingling said with some melancholy.
“If there’s no Master Wen, there’s still our Little Master Yi and Little Master Yi’s apprentice, Little Master Yun, right?” Li Mengxue smiled flatteringly at Yi Qingqing.
“No, I refuse.” Yi Qingqing said, crossing her arms in refusal.
“Heartless woman!” Li Mengxue rolled her eyes.
Then she hinted wildly, “Alas, my birthday wish this year is to have a delicious meal. Please, God, give me a great chef! Just a small meal like this once a year would be great!”
Yi Qingqing: “…”
Do you still have any shame?
For a bite of food, what a shame!
