The closer we got to the gate, the more people came and went, and it became more and more lively.
At the entrance of Laibeizi, soldiers were registering the newcomers.
Only then will entry be allowed.
There was no feeling outside, but the scene inside shocked everyone.
The wide streets and neatly arranged houses give people a very neat feeling.
There are shops on both sides of the road, loudly greeting customers, which is full of life.
It’s different from the capital.
There are many people setting up stalls on both sides of the streets in Beijing, which looks rather messy.
It's completely different here.
The street is the street, and all the stalls are located inside the shops.
It is a semi-open style, which neither affects business nor affects passers-by.
Even the streets are separated by bricks of different colors.
The carriage path was completely separate from the path for pedestrians.
There were soldiers directing traffic at the intersection.
To prevent horse-drawn carriages from speeding and injuring passers-by.
Everything seems so well organized.
The people passing by were dressed very neatly, with rosy faces and looked very energetic.
It seems that the food and clothes are very good.
At first glance, it feels even worse than life in the capital.
"No way, it seems that the people here live quite well.
It's very obvious just from the clothes he wears.
Although there are many powerful and wealthy people in the capital, there are also many poor people.
But along the way, we didn’t see a single beggar or anyone in rags.
Are the people here really living in such a poor condition as the rumors say?"
"We'll know if we take a closer look. Is this a deliberate pretense, or do all the people live like this?
If we stay a few more days, we'll definitely find out."
"It's incredible, it seems like the rumors are true all the way we've come.
At least I have never seen anyone living in poverty.
The construction of the house was beyond our imagination.
Even ordinary wealthy people can't afford to live in such a small house!"
The scene before them shocked everyone.
They had all made plans to endure hardships before coming here.
But I didn't expect that the conditions here seemed to be even worse than those in the capital.
The soldiers took them to a place to stay.
The shop owner came to greet us warmly.
The house we live in is very clean and tidy, and there is nothing wrong with it.
After everything was arranged, the soldiers said to them, "You are welcome to wander around the city. If anyone tries to cheat you out of your money, you can immediately file a complaint with the authorities."
In addition, you must report to the government office when you go out for fun, and they will arrange for you to have protective escorts.
I wish you all a happy time here!"
After saying this, he left.
Such high-quality service made all the guests feel very novel and very satisfied.
Put down the luggage and go to the restaurant to eat.
I found that although it is a border town, the food here is not worse than that in Beijing.
What shocked them even more was that vegetables could be ordered in every restaurant.
In this season, if you have money, you can eat as much meat as you want.
But many vegetables have just been planted and are just beginning to sprout.
Most people can't afford it.
㱗Here it is extremely rich.
Although the price is a bit higher, it is acceptable.
A young man called the waiter and asked, "How come you still have vegetarian food in such a cold winter here?"
Where do these vegetables come from?"
The waiter glanced at the crowd and said with a smile, "Judging from the looks of you all, you must be from other places, right? You don't know this place well enough.
These vegetables are grown locally and can be eaten all year round.
Now that the weather has warmed up, the prices of many vegetables have dropped significantly.
It’s much more cost-effective to come here for sightseeing and dining now.
And we have not only vegetables but also fruits here.
Some fruits and vegetables such as pears are edible, but of course they are expensive, so ordinary people can't afford to eat them.
But speaking of it, we can make a lot of money from this good grain harvest.
Maybe next winter I’ll be willing to eat vegetables and fruits every day.”
Everyone found it incredible. This matter had already been widely circulated in the capital, and many people said that it was a rumor specially fabricated by Li Ye.
Even the most talented person would not be able to grow vegetables in such a cold and harsh place.
They didn't expect that they could afford to eat fruits, not to mention vegetables.
If vegetables of this price were sold in Beijing in winter, people would definitely rush to buy them.
"You must be kidding. The winters here are so cold. How can you grow vegetables?" Some people still didn't believe it.
The waiter said with a smile: "Believe it or not, the people here can get vegetables every month in winter, and they are free.
After finishing the meal, walk west out of the city and after passing more than 20 meters, you can see the greenhouse where vegetables are grown.
There are not only vegetables but also a lot of fruits grown there, which you can pick on site.
I heard that strawberries are in season this year, you can go there and pick and eat them at the same time.
Anyway, we're here just to have fun, so we probably don't have any contact with each other normally, right?"
"Strawberry?" Everyone in the room was shocked again.
This is an extremely rare fruit. Even with their status, they have only eaten it a few times in their lives.
These things are all shipped from other places and are very difficult to preserve.
Even if it is transported to the capital, the cost is ridiculously high.
It's not something that ordinary people can taste.
Not to mention that in this season, even vegetables are difficult to eat, let alone such rare fruits.
I quickly asked about the location of the greenhouse and decided to go over and see it in person after dinner.
"Do you think what the waiter said is true? This is too outrageous. It sounds like a dream to me."
Another man said excitedly, "It's really worth it for us to come out for this trip.
It seems that the rumors in the capital are not exaggerated at all and are even somewhat reserved.
After we finished watching the show, we went back to tell them that the scenery at the border was even more beautiful than advertised.”
"You're right, we are the first group to come here for fun, and we have gained more knowledge than others.
It would be really impressive to tell them about what's happening here in Beijing."
"Then hurry up and eat. Let's set off right after dinner."
Several people tasted the food and found that it tasted extremely delicious.
Especially the mutton here does not have the slightest smell of mutton.
Mutton alone can be made into several dishes, each with its own merits.
I never get tired of eating it.
Especially since I hadn’t eaten any vegetables the entire winter, they were all eaten up very quickly.
The group boarded a horse-drawn carriage and headed to the vegetable planting base.
As long as you stay indoors, you won't be restricted in any way.
There is no need to worry about any danger.
There was a passage connecting the two, and they were shocked when they walked through it.
They originally thought that the house they lived in was a special one built to welcome them.
But after they passed a few, they found that all the houses were the same.
In other words, the living standards of the people here are quite high, and their houses are extremely spacious and beautiful.
Let several people feel extremely shocked.
How much money would it cost to provide such good living conditions for all the people?
