Xu Manman also saw the legendary replica of the dragon throne in the Golden Palace, but here it is just a tourist attraction. As long as you spend some money, anyone can put on the yellow robe and experience the feeling of ascending the throne.
She was not used to taking tourist photos, so she took a look and walked away, followed the waiter up to the third floor, found a seat by the window and sat down. Since it was a seafood restaurant, the most important thing was definitely to eat.
Picking up the menu, I found that there are not many dishes here, but the price of each one is worth the decoration.
However, there are still many dishes that Xu Manman has not eaten before. Anyway, she doesn’t care about the high prices and orders dishes that interest her.
"I'd like crab meat and bird's nest soup, fried glutinous rice with golden sand abalone, golden prawn balls, suckling pig platter, secret fried conch slices, salted fish, assorted mushrooms, and egg tofu... That's all. And for a drink, give me freshly squeezed orange juice."
Maybe it was almost time to finish work and everyone was rushing to get off work, so their dishes were served very quickly.
Xu Manman thought the food was okay, not as delicious as Xiao Jin’s, but looking at the night view outside the window, it was not a bad deal.
Although she didn't eat much for dinner, she was still about 80% full. So at this moment, Xu Manman took a bite of each dish and couldn't eat anymore. Anyway, Xiao Jin was there, and there was no need to worry about waste, so she didn't have to force herself to eat.
While waiting for Xiao Jin to eat, Xu Manman slowly shifted her attention from the window to the room. The prices of this seafood restaurant are listed here, so its target customers are all middle- and high-end customers, so the people sitting here are all those with a relatively good economic foundation.
Everyone sitting in the restaurant eating was dressed appropriately, and quite a few were wearing suits and dresses. Even Xu Manman changed into a coat and long skirt before going out, a rather formal yet inconspicuous outfit.
Then think about what she saw when she went to Lao Mo. They were upper-middle income class in Beijing. But when comparing the two sides, one can see the cultural differences between the two sides from their clothing styles.
Jin Yinan ate with elegance and speed, and before Xu Manman felt bored, he had already finished his meal and paid the bill.
After going out for fun in the evening, Xu Manman felt much better. It is said that travel heals the soul.
The intense review life is finally over, and everyone is facing the last hurdle before the New Year - the final exam.
Just like last semester, the double-major exam battle was also very long. In order to allow the two students to focus on the exams, Jin Zichu, the logistics director, asked someone to order a lot of chickens and ducks. Every day they were either stewed or braised, and he made delicious food for them in different ways to ensure the nutritional supply of the two.
When the last day of exams ended, Xu Manman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After returning to the Tsinghua and Peking University courtyard, I had the last (not) meal before the New Year with Jin Zichu, and then hurried home to pack my luggage.
Thanks to the capable logistics director Xiao Jin, Uncle Wang didn't have to worry about this year's train tickets. Two days in advance, Xiao Jin asked a friend to go to the train station to buy them, and they got a sleeper berth.
The day they finished the exam was the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, which was about twenty days away from the Chinese New Year. According to what my aunt said at the beginning, my eldest brother should come to pick them up. However, the military academy that my eldest and second brothers attended was different from ordinary universities. It was under a unified management and there was a winter vacation, but it was not long. By the time he came to pick them up during the vacation, it would probably be almost the Chinese New Year.
Originally, we were going to the island first and then return to Haishi to celebrate the New Year. Going back and forth, we would have to spend at least half a month on the road during the entire holiday. Fortunately, college students have a lot of holidays, and the adults at home are at work and can't take care of them. In addition, my aunt is urging us to go, so we just go.
Finally, they agreed to go separately. She and her cousin would take a bus directly to the island without stopping in Hai City. As for the others in Hai City, they would also take the train there. Their two schools had different vacation times, so maybe Xu Manman and Chen Ming could arrive first.
As they traveled south by train, the temperature gradually rose and the number of clothes they wore was reduced piece by piece.
Although the winter climate in the south is warm, it is not so warm that you need to wear only one layer of clothing. It will still be cold when it is cold.
As long as there is no sun, it is damp and cold to the bone, and you have to wrap yourself in a military coat to survive. If the sun comes out, a thin jacket will be enough to withstand it.
So they only brought one set of winter clothes, but brought more autumn clothes to wear in Beijing. The luggage was neither too much nor too little, and in later times it could be carried with two suitcases.
But at that time, suitcases had no handles or wheels, and it was not as convenient to carry them when going out as a bag. Xu Manman didn't do it herself, and went to the department store in advance to buy two large luggage bags. Together with the backpack she carried with her, it was enough to carry her things.
