The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao walked to the door of Xinqiao Hotel, which was one of the best hotels in Hangzhou at that time. Zhang Chen remembered that he used to come to Xinhua Bookstore. He stood at the door of Xinqiao Hotel on sunny or rainy days. The porch, looking through the glass at the magnificent lobby inside, felt like heaven. There were two doormen standing at the door, and I didn't even have the courage to walk in.

But when Zhang Chen looked at it again today, he felt that the lobby of the Xinqiao Hotel was far from the lobby of the Wanghai International Hotel that he designed.

Zhang Chen was a little proud, but also a little sad. A person who designed such a beautiful hotel lobby now has to sleep in the corridor of the "Red Flag Hotel" at night, with a smelly public toilet on his head. Isn't it funny?

They crossed Jiefang Road from the entrance of Xinqiao Hotel to the Jiefang Road Department Store opposite. There is also a Jiefang Road in Haicheng. There is also a department store on Jiefang Road, also called Jiefang Road Department Store. Jiebai in Hangzhou is better than Haicheng. There are many shopping malls in the city, but compared with Wanghai Mall, it is not only small, but also old. There are no elevators in the entire mall, not to mention escalators.

The department store was deserted, which was very different from when Zhang Chen came here before. This was probably because of social benefits.

They walked from the stairs to the second floor. Zhang Chen saw at a glance a long row of women's clothing counters with a yellow down jacket hanging on them. Three female salespersons inside the counter were huddled together chatting about " Tang Geer walked back and forth, turning around every three steps, waving after every five steps, and then kept walking."

This is the tango invented by Zhao Lirong in the sketch "Mom's Today" performed by Zhao Lirong and Gong Hanlin in the Spring Festival Gala.

"Where are the dimples?" The three people laughed and learned at the counter.

"Master, please show me this dress." Zhang Chen shouted.

A salesperson turned to look at Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao. He did not come over, but continued to chat with the other two.

"Master, please show me this dress." Zhang Chen increased his voice.

The salesperson turned to look at them again, and then walked reluctantly towards this side. As he walked, he asked impatiently: "Saxi?"

Zhang Chen pointed at the down jacket and said to her, "Please show me this piece of clothing."

The salesperson took a fork, took off the down jacket hanging high on the counter, and threw it on the counter.

Zhang Chen took it over and asked Xiao Zhao to try it on. Xiao Zhao took off his coat and handed it to Zhang Chen. Then he put the down jacket on his body. He suddenly seemed like a different person. Zhang Chen knew that he had made the right choice.

Although the bruise on Xiao Zhao's face has not completely faded, the color of the clothes made her skin fairer and more supple. Even the salesperson at the counter had a pleasant expression on her face and sighed: "My hair is beautiful!"

The other two salesmen also came over, looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "You girl is very cool and fashionable."

Xiao Zhao didn't understand what they were talking about. She looked at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen leaned close to her ear and said, "They are saying you are beautiful." Xiao Zhao blushed.

They bought this piece of clothing, and Xiao Zhao put it on, folded the military coat, and put it into the bag containing the down jacket.

The two then went to the men's clothing department and bought a down jacket for Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen also wore it. The two of them immediately looked different from when they came in. Holding hands, they looked like a pair of modern lovers, which attracted a lot of attention. Everyone looked back at them.

They went to the underwear counter again, and one person bought two pairs of underwear and a set of knitted underwear. Xiao Zhao also chose a pair of socks for Zhang Chen, and then made sure to drag Zhang Chen to the shoe counter to buy shoes. Finally, he bought a pair of khaki frosted ones. Xiao Zhao asked him to take off the shoes and socks on his high-top leather shoes and put on new shoes and socks. Zhang Chen felt like he was liberated.

When they came out of the department store, the two of them were holding hands and holding several bags in the other hand.

They walked from the pedestrian overpass on the second floor of Jiebai to the Yan'an Road below, walked to the opposite side, got off the overpass and walked forward, crossing the junction of Nanshan Road and Jiefang Road, and arrived at a park.

Different from the deserted scenery encountered along the way, the edge of the West Lake is full of tourists.

The sunshine on the third day of the Lunar New Year was very good, and the bustling crowds crowded the free lakeside area from the Dahua Hotel to the Sixth Park. After passing the Sixth Park, if you want to go towards the Broken Bridge, you will not be able to pass. The lakeside The road is completely blocked by the courtyard of the Provincial Party Committee’s United Front Work Department.

You can't walk from the Dahua Hotel to the Orioles in the Willows. The road is blocked by the dormitory building of the Provincial Military Region. Beyond that is the Orioles in the Willows. You have to buy a ticket to enter. Therefore, the area from the Dahua Hotel to the Sixth Park is the most crowded on the edge of the West Lake. Yes, and also near the Broken Bridge.

As soon as he saw the West Lake, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but exclaimed "Wow" softly. When he walked to the lake and looked into the lake, he almost cried.

She saw that the water in the West Lake was black and shiny, and the odor evaporated upwards when exposed to the sun. Xiao Zhao said angrily to Zhang Chen, "Why is the water in the West Lake like this?"

"What's wrong?"

"So dirty and smelly."

"Then what do you think it is?"

"I, I always thought it was delicious." Xiao Zhao said anxiously, "When I looked at the picture of West Lake, I thought that the water from West Lake can be drunk by bending down and holding a handful."

"You can drink it now, and you'll just go to the hospital after drinking it." Zhang Chen said with a smile.

"Fuck you!" Xiao Zhao punched Zhang Chen.

In an open space in a park, people gathered in a circle and cheered from time to time. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao were curious, so they squeezed into the crowd and saw two people playing badminton inside. One of them had a leg. For disabled people with disabilities, everyone's applause is for him.

Although he has a disability in his legs, he plays badminton very well. What's even more surprising is that the inconvenience in his legs and feet not only does not affect his performance, but has become his specialty, which is incredible.

When many balls came over, the landing point was already very low. Everyone thought he couldn't catch them. His disabled leg took a step forward and couldn't support his body. His body suddenly stumbled and fell to the side. Everyone was confused. When I thought he was going to fall to the ground, I didn't expect that his racket stretched out. He caught the ball almost as it was about to hit the ground and returned it to the net.

Everyone couldn't help but applaud. His body was like a tree bent by the wind. After the wind passed by, it stood upright again. Everyone clapped their hands and applauded again.

Not only was he good at playing, but he was also very energetic. His opponents kept changing. He came up to fight for a while. When he realized that he was no match for him, he shook his head and retreated. The second person took over the racket and continued to play, but he was still defeated. Some Unconvinced tourists volunteer to join the battle, and he refuses anyone who comes, and in the end he always makes you convinced that you have lost.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao crowded in the crowd and watched for a while, their hands turned red.

They exited and walked toward the Sixth Park. After walking for more than ten meters, they saw another crowd. This crowd was bigger than the previous one, but there were not so many onlookers. Many men and women were dancing ballroom dance, both young and middle-aged people. Yes, the most eye-catching one is a man in his fifties.

He was wearing a tuxedo, a white shirt underneath, and a bow tie. His hair was meticulously combed and waxed. His back was straight and he walked briskly through the crowd, constantly correcting others' dance moves or teaching them tirelessly. He demonstrated over and over again. Some people in the crowd called him "Teacher Qu", while others called him "Aqu Aqu".

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao sat on the flower bed nearby and watched for a while. It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. Their stomachs were growling, so they walked to a small shop made of wood and bought two bowls of West Lake lotus root noodles.

The store owner brought a hot water bottle and added water to them, asking them to stir it constantly with a spoon. The white lotus root powder melted in the boiling water. The more it was stirred, the thicker it became. It started out white, and when it became translucent, it was ready to eat. .

Xiao Zhao tasted a spoonful and felt the fragrance of lotus root and the sweetness of stuffed osmanthus. He kept shouting that it was delicious.

The two of them finished eating the lotus root starch while standing, and one of them bought two more tea eggs. After finishing the meal, they wiped their hands and felt that their stomachs were full.

They continued walking forward, and when they arrived at the cruise ship dock, someone greeted them: "Ruan Gongdun Xiaoyingzhou Pavilion in the middle of the lake, go see the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon."

Zhang Chen almost laughed when he heard this. What the hell is this sun reflecting on the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon? He was just looking around the three stone towers.

Despite this thought, he still took Xiao Zhao towards the dock.

Among all the pictures of the West Lake, the most representative and attractive one should be the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon. When you arrive at the West Lake, if you don’t take a boat to see the three stone towers, it seems that you have never been to the West Lake. Although many people have dreams after seeing it. It’s broken, but you still have to look at it.

What's more, whether it is Ruan Gongdun, Xiaoyingzhou or Huxin Pavilion, they are all beautiful and worth a visit.
