Chapter 15: The Evil of Capitalism
Having made a decision, Xu Chen took off his robe and wig, took a shower in the bathroom, put on two random clothes, put the celadon cup in his backpack, took a taxi and headed straight to the airport.
On the way, he booked a 17:00 flight ticket on his mobile phone, flying directly from Bingcheng to the capital.
Daxing Airport,
After more than two hours of flight, Xu Chen came out of the Daxing Airport terminal around 19:30.
After coming out, he went straight to No. 1 Wangfujing Street in the second ring road of the capital city.
No. 1 Wangfujing Street, Puxuan Hotel.
I chose this hotel because Xu Chen had seen its advertising on the Internet, which was very attractive.
The other thing is that it is right above the Guardian Art Center.
After getting off the bus at Wangfujing, I searched for a while before finding the hotel entrance behind the Art Center, and then went to the lobby on the fourth floor to check in.
Xu Chen is now pregnant with millions of dollars, so there is no need to wrong himself, so he generously asked for a classic special suite. It is said that he can see the Forbidden City and Jingshan.
However, just this night, more than 7,000 yuan was lost.
However, the service was really good. After checking in, the young lady at the front desk asked him sweetly:
"Mr. Xu, our hotel can provide free aromatherapy service. Do you have a scent you like?"
have to say,
These young ladies need to be presentable and polite. Any one of them might have been the class beauty or someone's goddess.
Not only does he look sweet, but he also speaks softly.
She even accompanied him to the room and opened the door.
The room is not small. The end of the bed faces the window. Looking out the window is the Forbidden City. Looking further into the distance, you can also see Jingshan Mountain.
only,
Puyi could not be seen imprisoned in the Forbidden City, and Chongzhen could not be seen drying on Jingshan Mountain.
These more than seven thousand,
It’s a bit expensive!
But fortunately, along with the aromatherapy, there is also a welcome bottle of red wine or champagne.
Xu Chen had never experienced this before, so he asked the young lady to help him choose an aromatherapy and a bottle of red wine, and brought them with him.
In addition to these two things, you can still get some more money back, maybe things for washing.
All are internationally renowned brands!
..
After walking around the house and putting his backpack in the safe in the room, Xu Chen touched his stomach and then remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Fortunately, it's not too late now, and there is a restaurant in Puxuan, Michelin-level, called Left Bank.
Speaking of Michelin, Xu Chen found it quite interesting. Westerners use Western food standards to evaluate Chinese food, but some Chinese people still accept this.
this,
Isn't this just bullshit?
As long as a foreigner can cook a vinegary cabbage, Xu Chen will agree with his evaluation!
Having said so much, I only mean that Chinese and Western food are different, not that Western food is the same.
gourmet food,
Eat it deliciously and you’re done!
Just at this time, the young lady also finished the aromatherapy. Xu Chen looked at her twice and said:
"Thank you for your hard work, young lady. I haven't eaten yet, would you like to have a bite together?"
"Sorry, the hotel has regulations. You cannot leave work without authorization during working hours. I can only appreciate Mr. Xu's kindness."
The young lady has a smile on her face and is well mannered, making it hard for anyone to fault her.
Although Xu Chen's clothes are not from street stalls, they are no different from those from street stalls.
He actually wears an admiral on his wrist, but I'm afraid it's not a fake, right?
As the front desk officer of the Puxuan Hotel, Cheng Xi meets people worth hundreds or tens of millions.
It's not that she dislikes poverty and prefers wealth, it's just that her vision has been cultivated.
Xu Chen was not surprised when he heard the young lady's answer.
"Well, I hope I can have the opportunity to have dinner with my lady in the future."
After seeing the young lady out of the room, Xu Chen went to the Left Bank Restaurant on the second floor and ordered a set meal without thinking.
I don’t mean anything else, I just didn’t have money before and now I want to try how it tastes.
..
It has to be said that foreigners are really good at making up these bluffing things.
Not to mention pre-dinner drinks and appetizers.
The first thing that came up was the prawn monodon. It was quite a big plate with just one boiled shrimp on it. It was decorated with some herbs, lemon, caviar, and shrimp heads, and it was paired with a glass of champagne.
The next thing that came was fatty duck liver. A pile of pieces of duck liver was placed on the plate, and it was paired with a glass of semi-sweet white wine.
The third one was sole, paired with a glass of dry white wine.
The fourth one is French pigeon meatballs, with a few pigeon eggs on the plate and paired with a glass of dry red wine.
The fifth one is M5 level Australian Wagyu beef, paired with a glass of red wine.
Then there was black truffle and dessert, paired with a cocktail.
how to say?
Xu Chen wiped the corners of his mouth symbolically. This meal could be said to be the only thing he felt except for being full of useless rituals.
Not full.
The meal fee plus service charge is two thousand yuan and I am not full. How can you explain it? Fifty cents for a fist-sized bun can buy four thousand.
Not to mention one person, even a hundred people would be full!
but,
Although my stomach was not full, my vanity was 100% full, and I even ate until I vomited and overflowed.
The only pity is that there are not many people eating on the left bank, otherwise Xu Chen would have to order another one.
It's not just for the sake of being full, but just to enjoy the feeling of being served in style.
After returning to the room, lying on the soft and comfortable big bed, looking at the dimly lit Forbidden City outside the window, Xu Chen suddenly woke up.
This damned evil capitalism,
Don't tell me,
It really has some merit!
..
the next day,
When I got up and opened the curtains, a scorching red from the east rushed in, filling the room with red.
This is not a depraved enemy; I am a critical and in-depth understanding.
Chapter completed!
