Chapter 604 is very filling~
Fu Jingyou said he was going out to discuss something, and then he took Ma Tou away.
Ma Tou dragged a snakeskin bag over his shoulder and trotted beside him, confused.
"I'm sure you're mistaken. I thought you were quite fond of me just now. Why don't you want to leave now? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"It's getting late. Let's eat and find a place to stay first. We'll check out a few other places tomorrow."
Compare prices from three different stores before purchasing goods.
I just visited the train station, and there are still several places I haven’t visited.
How can you be so arbitrary?
Maybe there will be other more suitable project paths later.
Or fresher patterns and better materials?
"This, this... that's fine!"
Ma Tou scratched his head and quickly followed him.
When Fu Jingyou offered to treat him to a meal, Matou didn't bother to be polite.
He was not familiar with this area of Guangzhou, so he walked through the streets and alleys. With Matou's guidance, he went to a stall in an alley with an old courtyard with white walls to eat.
The stall owner is an old man. His stall only has a stove, three soup pots, a table and two small stools.
The table just became vacant after the previous table of guests left.
Matou handed Fu Jingyou a stool, sat on it himself, and communicated with the old man in Cantonese with ease.
Fu Jingyou didn't understand what he said.
However, the old man quickly brought out four boiled eggs, two large bowls of meat porridge and a small plate of pickles.
Fu Jingyou tasted the meat porridge and found it very sweet and tasty, but...
"Can you be full just by eating porridge?"
"Eggs."
Ma Tou took a mouthful of porridge, pointed at the bamboo basket containing eggs, swallowed the food and said:
"You can get a second bowl of porridge, including an egg, for 20 cents per person. It's worth it. I come here often."
Although it is porridge, it is at least white rice and fine grains.
And there is meat.
Speaking of meat, Matou and Fu Jingyou introduced:
"This is worm porridge, very nutritious~"
Fu Jingyou nodded.
In fact, Matou spoke with an accent and he didn't understand what he said at all.
The porridge tasted delicious, and he ate it several times when he visited Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
It was not until a long time later that I accidentally learned that the so-called cicada was actually a toad.
The kind of toads that are so common in my hometown at night in the summer.
Fu Jingyou is not picky about food.
However, I remember when I was a child, I saw a village dog bite a toad and then vomit white foam for the whole afternoon.
He wasn't feeling well at all.
It was already past five o'clock when we finished eating.
Guangzhou is still warm in winter, but at this time, after walking out of the alley, the sky has darkened.
Fu Jingyou began looking for a place to stay.
Matou was familiar with the area and took him to three or five guesthouses, but they were all full.
Fu Jingyou was impressed by the large flow of people in Guangzhou and had to turn his attention to higher-level hotels.
When I asked, I found out that there was only a large bed in a room for ten people with vacancies.
Fu Jingyou was not in a hurry to make a decision.
After getting married and having children, he lived a pampered life for a long time.
The environment in a multi-person room is messy and poor, and whether you can get a good rest is one of the issues.
The important thing is that he has so much money on him, and when there are too many people around, it is easy for trouble to arise.
In Matou's eyes, Fu Jingyou's spending was quite generous.
Seeing his hesitation, Ma Tou thought he was just disliking the environment and suggested:
"There's a hotel two bus stops away. Why don't we go over there and take a look?"
Fu Jingyou nodded.
The two took action again.
On the bus, Fu Jingyou noticed a towering building rising from the ground between the vegetable fields and the bungalows outside the window and asked Ma Tou:
"What is that place used for?"
"Um, that's the Baiyun Hotel. People in Jinshan call it the Baiyun Hotel."
Ma Tou leaned over to take a look, and as if he had opened up a chatterbox, he said cheerfully:
"This building was built a few years ago. It's 34 stories high. I heard it was built specifically for the Canton Fair. Staying there for a night costs five yuan!"
Ma Tou touched the back of his head, his eyes full of longing:
"I heard it's very luxurious inside, with color TVs. But it only receives dignitaries and foreign officials, and ordinary people can't go in. I guess few ordinary people know what it's like."
Fu Jingyou nodded.
Look at the Baiyun Hotel, the buildings are over 100 meters high, and the architecture is quite advanced and exquisite, indeed majestic and luxurious.
Seeing him staring at the hotel building, Matou touched his shoulder and said proudly:
"How is it? It's extraordinary, right? This is currently the tallest building in our country!"
"When it was completed in the 1970s, many famous architects from Beijing and Shanghai came to visit. Many even begged us to stay and work here."
Fu Jingyou was amused by his arrogant and proud look.
Fu Jingyou laughed and shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the towering buildings in the dim light in the distance.
How could I not want to come?
The person who built this building is a veteran.
In the construction industry, being able to build such a building means fame and achievement.
Working here, you can learn the architectural style and various detailed building facilities intuitively on site.
Who wouldn’t want to come if they are ambitious?
After running for another two hours, I finally found a hotel that still had single rooms available.
Hotels are different from guest houses in that the facilities and services are more comprehensive, and of course the prices are significantly different.
Fu Jingyou presented his household registration information and booked a room for two days for two yuan.
After completing the check-in formalities, he went out and told Ma Tou:
"Come early tomorrow and try to visit both Gaudi Street and Thirteen Hongs in one go."
"this……"
Ma Tou touched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed:
“I’ll try my best!”
The difficulty is not coming early, but having to visit Gaudi Street and Thirteen Factories thoroughly within one day.
But let’s see the details tomorrow.
What if there are things that Fu Jingyou doesn’t like?
You might be able to walk around it all at a glance.
"Then I'm back? I'll come back tomorrow. I've been running around all day and squashed all the eggs I brought for my grandma..."
Ma Tou waved his hand and Fu Jingyou nodded.
Watching Ma Tou walk away muttering, Fu Jingyou smiled gently.
Since it was agreed upon, he was not afraid that Ma Tou would not come tomorrow.
They all worked hard at the bottom.
In other words, even though he is studying in northern Beijing now, he has never escaped from the bottom of society.
Fu Jingyou is very clear about some principles of judging people and the psychology of some ordinary people at the grassroots level.
If he hadn't found out about Matou's character, he wouldn't have boasted so much in the first place.
Fu Jingyou withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the telephone booth on the side of the hotel entrance.
Guangzhou is more prosperous than northern Beijing. There are small telephone booths set up at regular intervals on both sides of the road.
Fu Jingyou went upstairs to put his things down, locked the door and went downstairs again.
I spent half a day studying how to use the phone in the booth.
In the end, he had already exchanged the coins for fifty cents, dialed the number and was about to insert the coins. After thinking for a while, Fu Jingyou hung up the phone again.
He missed home a little, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.
At this time, the post office behind the house has already closed.
Moreover, it was snowing heavily in northern Beijing.
The road was slippery with broken ice, and it was inappropriate to let the two elders or his wife run around.
