Chapter 312 Traveling in Luzhou Province
"Mom and Dad, haven't you been playing cards these past few days?" Yufei asked Li Qingfeng and Liu Meili while eating salted beef offal.
"No, is there anything wrong, daughter?"
"Even if it exists, we have to push it away."
Li Qingfeng and Liu Meili said in unison
"Since Luzhou Province is going to host the World Expo, I got a few tickets and wanted to take you and Grandpa and Grandma to see it."
As she spoke, Yufei took out a stack of World Expo tickets that Minister Li had given her from her crossbody bag and handed them to Liu Meili.
After thinking about it for a while, I drew out 5 tickets.
"Hmm~ We still have extra tickets. I'll take five to Tian Tian and the others to see if they want to come with us. Mom also has some extras; you can give those to her as you see fit."
Yufei thought of Lin Tiantian and the others, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and decided to take this opportunity to get together.
"Lin Tiantian and your cousin's family don't need to send tickets. The town official's family sent tickets this time. Actually, I was invited too, but since you're not here, your dad and I weren't interested in going, so we didn't accept them."
I gave the tickets to your older cousin's family. You can give those five tickets to Zhao Jing's family; it would be better if the whole family went."
Liu Meili explained the situation that Yufei didn't know, and she also planned to give the extra money she had to Yufei's godmother's family.
Xu Junyi didn't come home this summer, saying he was working part-time while studying. His mother, like them, wasn't really motivated to go to the World Expo.
But now that her goddaughter is back, she'll probably be happy to go on a trip to Luzhou Province with them.
By 2007, Luzhou was already beginning to take shape as a former culinary capital.
As soon as Yufei got off the plane, she smelled the numbing and spicy aroma of hot pot wafting in the air.
This time, Yufei and her friends came in a large group: Lin Tiantian's family, Zhao Jing's family, her older cousins' families, her grandparents' family, her godmother's family, and Yufei's own family.
Unfortunately, people may leave home as they grow up; this time, my older cousin, Lin Tiantian's brother, and Xu Junyi were absent from the gathering.
Perhaps it will be even harder for these people to get together in the future, so Yufei cherishes every gathering.
"I've already booked the hotel. Shall we put our suitcases down first, and then go have some authentic hot pot here?"
Li Aiguo said that they had discussed it together before setting off, because with such a large group of people traveling together, it's easy for all sorts of problems to arise without a leader.
After a series of votes and debates, Yufei's father was honored to be selected as the 'tour guide'.
Li Aiguo readily accepted the donations from various organizations and began planning and arranging his trip to the World Expo.
After getting off the plane and putting away their luggage, they went straight to a hot pot restaurant in Luzhou.
As expected of the hot pot capital, Yufei could tell from the first bite that the ingredients here were incredibly fresh.
Moreover, the portions were generous, and most importantly, the ingredients were incredibly cheap, much more affordable than the hot pot Yufei and her friends had in Xiangcheng.
The flavor was spicy and numbing, especially the numbing sensation, which was much stronger than the hot pot they had in Xiangcheng. This was something that Yufei and the others couldn't stand.
The numbing spiciness of Luzhou and the fragrant spiciness of Hunan are completely different concepts. After only a few bites, Yufei's mouth was already numb and water was constantly being secreted in her mouth.
The feeling was strange; she wasn't used to it and drank a lot of water. You could say it wasn't the hotpot that filled her up, but rather the water.
Overall, the food was quite good, but after the meal, everyone disagreed on what to do next.
The group of girls, led by Liu Ma, felt they were full and wanted to take a walk to digest their food.
Li Aiguo, led by Liu's father, was too full to move.
Fortunately, they were all very adaptable people. Liu Ma and the other women decided that they didn't need those stinky men following them around all the time.
They demanded to be free tonight and went out to have fun on their own.
This really worried Li's father and the others. This wouldn't do! What if she got kidnapped by some random man? Where would they go to cry then? They had just finished eating and drinking and were asking for a rest.
Forget resting, if you're a man, get up and have some fun! They shamelessly offered to be porters, saying they were willing to do it.
Unfortunately, the group of women who wanted to act alone then won back their request.
However, they generously assured everyone not to panic, as they genuinely just wanted to go shopping with a few girls.
The men can go back to the hotel and play cards, anything is fine, it's definitely not out of spite.
Li Aiguo and his wife, who had been married for decades, confirmed that the group of mothers indeed did not need them tonight.
They decided not to be disappointed and went back to the hotel to play cards. As for Yufei and the others…
It seems these parents have forgotten about them, indicating that they can do whatever they want.
Just kidding! These young people can't even match the stamina of those mothers? They immediately said they'd go out and have fun too.
After separating from the group of mothers, Jiang Yifeng admitted that he also wanted to lie down and relax. T^T
Junyi, Biao, how could you just abandon him like this? He's the only boy in the kids' group now.
Boys and girls definitely like different things, and he didn't dare say he wouldn't go, otherwise Yufei and the others wouldn't have needed to discipline him.
His dear girlfriend, Tian Tian, is about to teach him a lesson.
He had no choice but to accompany her, even at the cost of his life. Girls' hobbies are all pretty much the same: food, pretty clothes, and taking pictures of beautiful scenery.
Luzhou is not only a culinary capital, but also a fashion capital.
Many of these clothes are not only beautiful on their own, but also very creative in their design.
Yufei and the others were absolutely thrilled. Their town, Longyuan, was thriving, and every family there was making a lot of money.
They weren't stingy with money; apart from Yufei, the others all carried a fair amount of cash with them.
So that I can have a great time on this trip.
It was tough on Jiang Yifeng, the hard worker, who soon carried all the bags for the girls.
Of course, this also includes the clothes that Lin Tiantian picked out for him.
"Ah~ that guy is so handsome~" Jiang Yifeng, with his refined looks and outstanding height, was already very attractive to girls.
What's more, after being carefully dressed up like a mannequin by Lin Tiantian tonight, he looked even more handsome in the clothes she had just bought for him.
Wherever he went, he attracted the attention of a group of girls who couldn't help but look at him, and they whispered to their girlfriends about how handsome he was.
Even bolder girls, encouraged by their friends, came to him asking for his QQ number.
However, he smiled and said he had a girlfriend, thus rejecting her advances.
She was very satisfied with his performance and gave him a big kiss on the cheek as a reward, while also declaring her ownership to the group of girls around them.
Throughout the trip, Yufei and Zhao Jing were fed plenty of "dog food" (a Chinese slang term for public displays of affection).
Of course, this didn't stop them from having a good appetite for dishes like Sichuan-style boiled chicken, barbecue, and crayfish when they passed by the food street.
Yufei says this is nothing, she has two stomachs~ She can eat as much dog food as she wants -_-|| Even with all the delicious food, she'll still eat.
They said they had a great time that night, and they took many photos with their Polaroid cameras, creating many youthful memories.
We didn't get back to the hotel until 10 pm. Tomorrow is the World Expo, and we have to get up early to queue, so we won't stay out too late.
