There were two taxis. When Chu Beichen gave the address of the Second Municipal Hospital, they immediately gave a price, "Ten yuan, I'll take you to the entrance of the Second Municipal Hospital!"
Chu Beichen thought the price was not expensive, so he asked everyone to get in two taxis and drive towards the Second Municipal Hospital.
The car didn't go far. It went straight along the avenue in front of the station for a few hundred meters and arrived after turning a corner. No wonder the driver quoted a price. If he had used the meter, this distance would only be enough for the starting price of five yuan.
Arriving at the Second Municipal Hospital, Su Nian looked at his watch and frowned. "Professor Liu did give me a contact, Director Cao from the Medical Department here, but he's off work now, so he probably won't be here even if I go looking for him!"
"That's easy. Let's find a nearby hotel to stay in first, and then report to the hospital tomorrow morning to complete the formalities!" Chu Beichen pointed at Mei Shaofeng and the others, "Besides, Dr. Mei and the others can't stay in the place arranged by the hospital!"
Su Nian nodded in understanding, and the few of them carried their luggage and looked for a place to stay.
There was a small hotel just opposite the Second Hospital. We went in and took a look. It was quite clean, so we booked four standard rooms. Everyone checked in separately and went out to eat after a quick wash.
This time everyone was more cautious and asked the staff at the service desk early on where to go for dinner at this time.
The waiter smiled and pointed them in two directions. On the left was the night market where the locals went. It sold everything from spicy hot pot to clay pot dumplings. On the right were two hotels. If they wanted to eat something more refined, they could go to the hotels.
"What kind of hotel are we going to?" Mei Shaofeng sneered at the hotel. "The food is all the same, it makes me lose my appetite!"
Naturally, there are more varieties of food at the night market, and the food is more down-to-earth, but the hygiene conditions are hard to say. After discussing it, everyone decided to go to the night market. There is no other way, because all the local specialties are at the night market.
Zhangye City is not big, but the night market is surprisingly clean. There are signs hanging on rows of small houses, and there are barbecue stalls and fruit stalls in the middle of the road.
Everyone watched very carefully and finally found that the local specialty seemed to be noodles. No one wanted to eat noodles, so seeing that there were many people in a Malatang restaurant, they decided to eat Malatang.
The name of the Malatang restaurant is very special, it is called Station Malatang. To be honest, this night market is some distance away from the station, and I don’t know why this restaurant has such a name.
There were many people in their group, and they were all well-dressed. The boss was very polite and personally helped them to share a table.
There was a wide variety of dishes, even squid and prawns. Su Nian and Tang Xin chose a large plate of dishes, ordered wide sweet potato noodles and flatbreads, and then sat down to wait for the meal.
Mei Shaofeng had already taken Ivan to the night market for a stroll. When he came back, he opened the paper package in his hand and placed it on the table. "This is donkey meat, dragon meat from heaven, donkey meat from earth. You must try it!"
Soon, the spicy hot pot was ready and served on large stainless steel plates, two large plates in total.
After taking a sip, it was spicy, fresh and fragrant, and the taste was no worse than the hot pot in Beijing. Su Nian nodded repeatedly, "This spicy hot pot is authentic!"
The boss was very proud, "My soup here is really good, it's real bone soup, I get up at four o'clock every day to make soup!"
It seems that eating delicious food is not limited to any place. As long as real ingredients are used, delicious food can be made anywhere.
Everyone was eating so much that oil was dripping from the corners of their mouths and they were breathing heavily from the spicy food. They finished off two large plates of food and donkey meat before leaving the night market.
This was my first day in Zhangye, and it was very peaceful.
