Chapter 55 055 There’s something wrong with this fuel consumption!

After the two had breakfast, they drove all the way out of Linjia Village. After getting on the national highway, they changed to the highway in An County and went straight to Dongdao County.

In the car, Chen Jue took advantage of the fact that it was still early and there was not much scenery on the roadside, so he put down his seat and began to close his eyes and relax.

On the other hand, the driver, Master Zhu, was staring at the road with a puzzled look on his face, loosening his footing from time to time and stepping on the accelerator.

Why was he puzzled?

It was because he found that even though he only picked up one passenger for his big trip this morning, the fuel consumption on the dashboard was ridiculously high.

When he came out of Chencun, he didn't feel much at all because it was a downhill road and not very strenuous. But as soon as he turned onto the national highway, he discovered the problem.

That is, when the accelerator is pressed, the power is a little tight and the speed is a little slow.

Although his Buick business car is an entry-level, low-end version, there should be no problems with its power.

Unless the car is full of people and the load is increased, the speed and fuel consumption will be affected.

But the problem is that there is only one passenger in the back seat!

Although the other party said he brought a dumbbell with him in the car, in Master Zhu's impression, a dumbbell used for fitness only weighs 20 kilograms when fully stretched.

I glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the travel bag standing vertically was bulging and seemed to be larger than ordinary dumbbells.

"How much does this dumbbell horse riding weight weigh?"

"Why does it feel like inviting a guest is like inviting a small group of four or five people?"

"I thought I could save more fuel this trip..." Master Zhu was very puzzled. Drivers of sports cars who make money by soliciting passengers are extremely sensitive to fuel consumption.

This involves how much profit they can get from one trip.

But Chen Jue alone, plus the dumbbells in the travel bag, totaled 560 kilograms, not counting the weight of the backpack containing clothes.

This is equivalent to him being able to bear the weight of four or five adult passengers alone!

Just like there are several more invisible people in the back row, can it not be tight on power?

Fortunately, after getting on the expressway, the vehicle does not have to stop and go like driving on the national highway, waiting for the traffic lights, and can maintain a constant speed for a long distance at high speed, which slowly reduces the fuel consumption.

…

Chen Jue squinted in the car for more than an hour. He felt that the sunlight through the car window was much brighter than in the early morning. When he opened his eyes, he found that the car was driving on a long cross-sea bridge.

It's not the cross-sea bridge in my impression, but the kind of short bridge that is only a few meters higher than the water surface of the tidal flat.

But this bridge is very long, and you can't see the end at a glance. At the end is the entrance to Dongdao County.

On both sides of the bridge, there is a large silt tidal flat, and the endless sea level beyond.

The blue sky is paired with the blue water. There are a few low white clouds like cotton candy floating in the sky. On the beach, there are fishermen in waterproof clothing picking up small seafood after the low tide in the morning.

Occasionally, a few tourists' cars parked on the roadside, and a couple or a family with children got out of the car, carrying plastic buckets and shovels, and joined in picking up shells, crabs, and fishing for tides.

Among the ranks, there is a harmonious and beautiful scene.

Chen Jue sat up straight, admiring the scenery along the way outside the window, while chatting with Master Zhu, who was driving alone.

The masters of these sports cars are generally well-informed and often visit these tourist attractions, so they know the places to play in Dongdao County very well.

Knowing that Chen Jue had not yet decided on a hotel or B&B, Master Zhu opened the armrest box, took out a business card and threw it over.

“Seeing that you and I are from the same hometown, I’ll introduce you to stay at this B&B!”

“A row of single-family villas, newly renovated last year, and the location is great. The owner is also nice. I took my daughter there during her summer vacation. It’s just on a corner of the island, a few steps away.

It’s just a short walk to the beach.”

"But the seafood on the island is quite expensive. It's best to take a taxi to the county town to eat." Master Zhu was very clear when we started chatting. He must have driven a lot to pick up groups to visit Dongdao County.

Chen Jue asked the other party about several delicious seafood restaurants, scanned the QR code on the business card with his mobile phone, and added the B&B owner's WeChat account to chat.

He didn't even mention making a reservation directly, but asked for a location. He planned to go to the hotel and check out the accommodation before making a decision.

…

The cross-sea highway entering Dongdao County is very long, and the commercial vehicle drove for almost half an hour before turning down.

The county town on the island is not much different from the cities outside, except that there are very few pedestrians on the road. This is a tourist city with only a few hundred thousand local residents.

Compared with a large county like An County with a population of one million, it is a bit sparsely populated, but tourists can be seen everywhere.

Whether you are traveling with large or small bags, or driving by yourself, you can see the stylishly decorated single-family villas everywhere, which are obviously B&Bs converted by local residents.

Looking along the way, there are seafood restaurants and hotel and B&B signs everywhere.

Moreover, it is now the intersection of summer and autumn. The weather is not as hot as before, and the temperature of the sea water is just cool. This month has just ended when the fishing ban is over. When all kinds of seafood are at their most plentiful, there are many tourists here.

When he arrived at the destination of the previous order, which was Dongdao County, Chen Jue didn't get out of the car. Instead, he didn't end the ride order and asked Master Zhu to drive to the B&B he mentioned.

Fortunately, the county town is not far from the B&B, it only takes more than 10 minutes to drive.

The B&B is located on a raised sharp corner of the island, and is a cluster of small single-family villas. The exterior walls are all painted with snow-white granular paint, and paired with a few blue marine decorations, it does look a bit interesting.

Compared with those traditional B&B villas, they look much more avant-garde, probably because of the new decoration.

"How's it going? I recommended it right, right?" Master Zhu said with a proud smile on his chin.

"It does look beautiful!" Chen Jue nodded, got out of the car and took a look at the surrounding environment.

Not far from the B&B is a large stretch of yellow-white beach, surrounded by huge islands washed by water on both sides. You can see many parasols and tourists.

After leaving the beach, there is the sea, which is green closer and blue further away. As for the mountains and plains, there are green vegetation all over the place. You can see it clearly at a glance from the B&B. The scenery is very pleasant.

I went in and asked about the accommodation price. The single-family villa is 2,500 yuan per night. It has six rooms in total and is equipped with a kitchen. You can cook your own meals. There is an additional 50 yuan per day for gas, water, electricity and garbage.

If you come with a big family to play, it is a very cost-effective option.

However, Chen Jue considered that he needed to practice martial arts and it was not convenient to live with others, so he simply paid for a separate apartment.

"I won't be able to stay for a few days anyway. I still have allowances and subsidies, so I'll just have some luxury." Thinking this, Chen Jue checked in with his ID card, paid for the room for three days, received the key, and picked up his travel bag.

get off.

Seeing that Master Zhu was going to stay on the island to continue soliciting customers for his return trip, Chen Jue was embarrassed to continue wasting his time, so he chatted with him for a few words and then said goodbye.

But before leaving, Master Zhu was still staring at Chen Jue's travel bag, consciously or unconsciously, obviously thinking deeply about the dumbbells inside.

no way!

It’s so heavy!
