Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Spending Money Day 123
Because of his work, He Zhiyuan, who travels frequently, is a senior member of major airlines, and his business mileage is enough to exchange for his own travel tickets.
He has so much flying experience that he has written several first-class cabin reviews and has also experienced business charter flights a few times, but this kind of luxurious private jet is his first time.
He lay on the comfortable big bed in the bedroom - who would have thought that there would be such a bed on an airplane that would still be spacious enough for two people to lie down.
No wonder Liu Yue likes going out and playing so much. She enjoys herself wherever she goes.
Liu Yue turned over and put her hands and feet on him, obviously treating him as a human pillow.
He Zhiyuan was very willing to take on this function. He put his arms around her waist and bent down to kiss the top of her head.
Zhuzhu ran around excitedly on the plane. It had been on Liu Yue's private jet before, so it still felt very new.
Lucas, on the other hand, has gotten used to it. He has his own cat room on the plane. It's spacious, and he wasn't particularly fond of it at first, but with Zhuzhu squeezing in, he feels much better.
He Zhiyuan listened to their movements on the plane and couldn't help but sigh, "It's so happy to be out playing."
Liu Yue whined, "We haven't even reached Xinjiang... or even left Guangdong, how come you're already so happy?"
"Because I'm with you," he said.
Liu Yue didn't move at all when she heard this answer. He had been so fond of sweet talk lately that she had become somewhat immune to it.
Although the flight wasn't early, Liu Yue stayed up late last night and was a little sleepy.
Her eyelids were drooping, so He Zhiyuan turned off the light and door in the bedroom, allowing her to sleep peacefully.
As for himself...
He Zhiyuan was not sleepy at first, but listening to Liu Yue's light breathing and feeling her warm body made him relax unconsciously and immerse himself in his happiness.
After waking up, the plane landed in Urumqi.
Shenzhen in September was still scorching hot, but the temperature in Urumqi was much more pleasant. When Liu Yue got off the plane, the cool temperature gave her a very good first impression of Xinjiang.
Urumqi is a modern city, and its urban infrastructure is not much different from that of Guangdong. Liu Yue went straight to the hotel from the airport. She would rest here today before starting her RV tour of northern Xinjiang tomorrow.
After landing, Sang Yu and Liu Yue separated.
She had to purchase supplies for the next few days, prepare enough fuel, food and drinking water, and confirm whether the water, electricity and gas systems of the two RVs were functioning properly.
Liu Yue checked the time and asked, "Can you still make it back for dinner? I've called Huiyi, Qiao Yi, and the others."
"Sure." Sang Yu nodded. "I contacted the material suppliers before I came here. They are already prepared. I just go to pick up the goods."
This is not only the case in Urumqi, but also in several supply points in northern Xinjiang.
Urumqi is a big city with relatively abundant supplies. Some supply points are relatively small. If Liu Yue has requirements for the type and quality of supplies, she must make an appointment in advance so that others can arrange the goods.
He Zhiyuan had reviewed her shopping list, which had detailed requirements for the cuts of pork, beef, and mutton, a complete range of spices and seasonings, and extremely high demands for the freshness of fruits and vegetables. This being Xinjiang, she even insisted on seafood.
——However, this request is not difficult to meet. After all, Xinjiang has already achieved "saline-alkaline water improvement aquaculture", and Urumqi also has a particularly large seafood market.
Liu Yue had the impression that she had also done geography questions on this subject. Seeing is believing. After a good sleep on the plane, Liu Yue took He Zhiyuan to the seafood market after a short rest.
"It's quite strange to say." Liu Yue also complained to He Zhiyuan, "This kind of market is everywhere in Shenzhen. I have never been to one. The first time I visited a seafood market was in Urumqi."
He Zhiyuan: "I thought you had never even been to a supermarket."
During his stay at Liu Yue's house, He Zhiyuan completely believed the story that "rich people don't know what an apple looks like."
After all, the meat, vegetables and fruits in her family are all bought by the chef and nanny, and the fruits served are always fresh and conveniently cut, so there is really no chance to see the original appearance of the apples.
Liu Yue: "...No, don't think too highly of me."
Besides, she also had a poor life when she was in college.
But she really hadn't been to a supermarket for a long time... She used to think that buying things without looking at the prices was a pleasant experience, and it felt great to have a long list of items printed out at the checkout and pay for them quickly; but after this became a daily habit, she no longer thought it was strange.
He Zhiyuan took her hand and changed the subject.
"Who else did you meet up with tonight? Is it a mutual friend of you and Assistant Sang?"
"Well, Huiyi is our roommate, and Qiao Yi and Zhong Yingying are actors I know."
Liu Yue explained to him that Qiao Yi and Zhong Yingying were recording a food and travel variety show, and Wen Huiyi was the artist coordinator of the group. They happened to be in Urumqi today, so she simply organized a party and treated them to a meal.
Wen Huiyi's reaction was okay. She was very happy to be able to enjoy Liu Yue's luxurious meal in Urumqi. The two artists' reactions were more excited.
Qiao Yi thanked her several times, and Zhong Yingying almost cried for joy. After Liu Yue asked, she found out that the rule of this program was that only those who won the game would get food funds, and they had been eating Xinjiang naan for several days.
No way, so strict?
Liu Yue thought that domestic entertainment variety shows were all for show effects, and they just didn't let the guests eat in front of the camera, but they still ate, drank and had fun in private without revealing anything. She didn't expect that there were really such hardcore ones...
The program crew has communicated with her and will bring two cameras with her, but they will only take pictures of the restaurant, the dishes on the table and the artists eating, and will not take pictures of the ordinary people on Liu Yue's side.
As long as she didn't appear in the camera, Liu Yue let them take pictures. She believed that the production team would not dare to fool her.
The two walked into the seafood market, and the smell was indeed quite strong. There were quite a lot of seafood varieties, some spread out on dry ice, and some kept in seafood tanks.
Liu Yue walked around and saw that the crabs were quite large and the oysters came in all shapes and sizes. Liu Yue saw the salmon that had been air-shipped and bought a whole one, asking the boss to deliver it to the hotel.
Liu Yue: "I bought this for Lucas. Can Zhuzhu eat salmon?"
"It can be eaten, but it can't be eaten raw. It has to be cooked by the chef before it can be fed to it."
Of course there is no problem with that - Liu Yue brought a pet nanny with her on this trip, as well as Zhu Xian and Zhu Yan.
The word "make do" has never appeared in her travel dictionary.
There are also several restaurants here where you can choose freshly cooked seafood. Ren Zhen had already booked a restaurant for dinner, so Liu Yue only picked a few oysters and octopus as a snack for afternoon tea.
The taste of the oysters was not very good. Liu Yue only tasted one and pushed the plate over, letting He Zhiyuan finish the rest.
He Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment. He was a little unsure whether Liu Yue didn't like eating it or just wanted him to replenish his energy...
...Not really, he didn't perform that badly, did he?
He wanted to ask but was too embarrassed to do so. Liu Yue would not observe his expression so carefully. She was playing Minesweeper on her mobile phone at the moment.
Liu Yue easily became addicted to these single-player puzzle games, having already reached the highest difficulty level, Expert. While the principles of Minesweeper were the same, the Expert level had a much larger number of grids, making it easy to lose everything.
She was playing very attentively. After He Zhiyuan finished eating the oysters, he sat on the chair next to her and put his arm around her waist.
Liu Yue thought he wanted to talk to her and was about to say she was playing games and didn't have time, but he just leaned in, sticking to her. As long as it didn't affect her concentration, it was acceptable.
After returning to the hotel, Liu Yue was still playing Minesweeper.
Ren Zhen asked her if she wanted to change clothes and take photos, which was something Liu Yue had booked before she came. She checked the time and it was already four o'clock.
A full set of styling takes at least an hour. The meal time can be postponed, but she is worried that it will be difficult to take pictures after the sun sets.
"Oh, no, it seems like it gets dark very late in Xinjiang..."
Liu Yue recalled her geography textbook. China's territory is vast, spanning many longitudes and latitudes. Although Xinjiang uses Beijing time, it is geographically separated from Beijing by two time zones.
Here the sun sets at eight and it gets dark at ten, so it's still quite early.
So, what clothes should I change into?
In the hotel suite, Liu Yue saw two rows of movable clothes hangers, which were filled with Uyghur and Kazakh ethnic costumes, as well as various modified versions of Central Asian-style clothing.
He Zhiyuan casually took out one and examined it: "You rented so many clothes."
“I didn’t rent it, I bought it.”
Liu Yue said: "I definitely won't wear rented clothes. I don't know how many people have worn them. These are new."
Also before Liu Yue left, Ren Zhen contacted the local clothing store and expedited the ordering of these two rows of new clothes.
Although these were just photo ops, Ren Zhen didn't compromise on quality. She personally oversaw the fabric of each garment, not only providing Liu Yue's measurements but also sending a custom mannequin. Two tailors were waiting nearby, ready to make alterations if any parts didn't fit.
These dozen or so pieces of clothing were quite a lot. He Zhiyuan originally wanted to ask, could she wear all of them?
But this is indeed a silly question - no matter whether she wears it or not, she must have it when she wants to wear it, and Ren Zhen is always fully prepared.
Liu Yue tried on a red Uyghur princess dress. The dress used a lot of lace, the outer blouse was made of velvet, and the gorgeous hat had a veil on the back.
She had never worn this style of clothing before, nor had she ever seriously tried wearing a forehead necklace. The last time she wore one was when she was a child, playing house and putting the necklace on her forehead in front of the mirror.
You know what, the cool feeling on my forehead is quite interesting.
Uyghur clothing is full of jewelry. Liu Yue also wore a bracelet connected to a ring, and on her other hand, she wore a chain made up of several rings. She also had a particularly heavy pendant hanging around her neck, and her earrings were also large and heavy, which she simply didn't wear.
Unfortunately, she did not give Ren Zhen enough time to prepare, so she could only buy ready-made copper and silver jewelry. If she had been given a few more days, Ren Zhen would definitely have made her brand new gold jewelry.
Liu Yue didn't hire a local photographer for her travel photography, and she didn't consider photographers who only wanted tourists to take photos at specific locations. Her understanding of travel photography is simply taking photos while traveling, so she can do whatever she wants. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse to stick to fixed poses just to achieve the desired effect?
After putting on makeup and styling my hair, it was still bright outside.
Liu Yue put on sunscreen and went out to visit the Grand Bazaar.
On the way, He Zhiyuan showed Liu Yue the photos he had just taken.
He took the photos in a hotel suite. In addition to the photos, there were also "behind-the-scenes clips" of her putting on makeup. After knowing Liu Yue's Xiaohongshu account, He Zhiyuan spent one night watching all her pictures, texts and videos.
In fact, Liu Yue had no intention of sharing this on the platform. After all, a photo without showing her face is meaningless. At most, she would share a photo of herself in the mirror as an ootd. However, she was still very happy that He Zhiyuan had the idea to help her take the behind-the-scenes footage.
She had no expectations for the non-professional straight male photography works, but she didn't expect He Zhiyuan's photos to be pretty good.
I'm not trying to pick a general from a group of dwarfs, but the level is objectively good. Several of the photos are good enough to be posted directly on WeChat Moments.
Liu Yue gave a thumbs-up: "Okay, I'll allow you to be my follow-up photographer for this trip."
