"We're staying in a hotel in the city, and we'll go there the next morning and come back in the evening, or should we just stay in this newly opened resort hotel in Lingyuan?" Wang Maoxue asked her husband while holding her mobile phone, which displayed the hotel reservation page. and son.

They are a family who came to Donghai City from a neighboring province to travel, and they arranged a stop in Lingyuan in the itinerary. According to many comments on the Internet, this is a must-see place in Donghai, besides Jiuwan River. You can visit the zoo, and you can also overlook the entire Donghai City on the Cape Mountain next door, the former coastline.

Wang Maoxue's husband, Wang Jun, didn't even think about it and said, "Of course, don't make such trouble, just live in Lingyuan. We will go directly to Lingyuan after arriving on the first day to rest. We just got up early the next day and went to Haijiao Mountain to watch the sunrise. After coming down, play in the zoo, stay for another night or go directly to the beach to find another hotel.”

His son Wang Sheng also held his face and said, "I want to stay at the zoo for two nights."

"But this hotel just opened today. There is no comment, and I don't know if it's good or not." Wang Maoxue looked confused. She is an auditor and has been under high-intensity pressure for a long time. , The hair fell out in large quantities first.

Wang Maoxue likes to plan clearly for her usual itinerary. Except for some manuscripts, she couldn't find a hotel rated by tourists, which worried Wang Maoxue too much.

Wang Jun couldn't help but said: "My wife, it's hard to take a vacation, so don't think so much. If you are not satisfied with the decision, we will look at the solution."

"How to solve it? Are you rushing back to the city? Do you know how long it takes to get from a better hotel in the city to Lingyuan? Do you know if it's a good place to take a taxi?" Wang Maoxue sighed, "No, I'll look for comments again .”

Wang Maoxue couldn't find a comment on the website, so she had to log on to Weibo to search and enter the words of Lingyu Hotel.

In the end, some came out, but it was still not what Wang Maoxue wanted, because almost all of these Weibos mentioned another key word: Xiao Rong!

Xiao Rong, an idol actor who retired from the entertainment industry, appeared at the opening ceremony of Lingyu Resort Hotel in Donghai City

The former red star who had been in hiding since he retired from the circle finally appeared in front of the public. What is even more amazing is that he actually served as the master of ceremonies at the opening ceremony of a hotel, which shocked the jaws of the onlookers.

A lot of girls wanted to rush to catch Xiao Rong, but because the hotel was a project that was valued by the city, many leaders attended the opening ceremony, and a lot of armed police guarded the scene, and all the fans were stopped.

However, the atmosphere on the scene was still extremely enthusiastic, and everyone took out their mobile phones to take pictures on the stage.

After Wang Maoxue clicked on the video, she stared at the exterior of the hotel in the background. In the video, someone was calling Xiao Rong, but what Wang Maoxue cared about was the classical style hotel behind.

The decoration of this hotel combines tradition and classicism very well. Taking advantage of the two, the advertising wall is full of classical pictures, surrounded by clusters of purple bamboos, and even the uniforms of the staff are integrated with traditional elements, which is very distinctive , but there is no sense of cheapness, roughness or incongruity, and it is extremely harmonious.

At this time, Xiao Rong in the video was still explaining: "Thank you everyone, I am now an ordinary employee, and I will be a guest emcee by chance."

As for where the employee is, whether it is the Lingyu Hotel, and what position he holds, he didn't say anything.

Wang Sheng crawled over when he heard the movement, "Hey, is this the hotel that invited you to the platform? The girls in our class like him very much, but hasn't he quit the circle and made a comeback?"

Wang Maoxue didn't care too much and said: "I don't know, let's book this one. Judging from the appearance and the appearance of the staff, it should be okay."

Although it was only one-sided, Wang Maoxue also gained a little confidence inexplicably.

Two days later, the family arrived in Donghai City, Dongzhou Province after taking the high-speed train for several hours with their luggage.

Before getting out of the car, Wang Maoxue touched up her makeup in the small mirror she carried with her. She swept the hairline with shadow powder, combed the back of the hair carefully, covered the faintly showing scalp, and touched up under the eyes After touch-up makeup, I really don't look so bald, and the dark circles under the eyes are not obvious.

Wang Jun leaned over and said, "Honey, you haven't slept all the way, aren't you sleepy?"

Last night, Wang Maoxue suffered from insomnia and dreaminess as usual, and only slept for four or five hours. She has been taking traditional Chinese medicine, but it doesn't seem to be very useful, so she said with a "hmm", "I can't sleep, go to the hotel and sleep again."

It is difficult for Wang Maoxue to fall asleep in the car, even in her own room, let alone in the car where she feels insecure.

Wang Jun looked at Wang Maoxue worriedly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid if this continues, you will become Qiu Qianren..."

Wang Maoxue beat up Wang Jun, and she was actually a little worried. The hair growth shampoo she used recently seems to be helpful, but the constant anxiety and insomnia really bothered her. And this will affect hair loss again, and the speed of hair growth will not be able to keep up.

The family got into the taxi and said to the driver, "Go to Lingyu Hotel, thank you."

"It's the Lingyuan Zoo, right? I heard that they opened a hotel." The driver glanced at them and said, "Are you here for tourism? Let me tell you, you must go to Jiajia for a meal, absolutely not. It's a waste of time!"

"Does it mean Jiajia restaurant?" Wang Maoxue checked the guide, so she knew, "It seems that it is also well-known in the local area."

The driver said proudly: "Of course, I didn't say that. Many people go to the zoo because they want to go to Jiajia, and they also apply for an annual pass. However, the zoo itself is not bad. I heard that it has joined some zoo association. The facilities are not as good as The big zoos in first-tier cities are poor.”

Wang Maoxue was noncommittal. She has read some information on the Internet, but she always believes that seeing is believing, especially about food, it is hard to say, it is difficult to say, maybe most people like it, but it is not to your liking.

It was only half an hour's drive from the high-speed railway station to Lingyuan. After Wang Maoxue's family got off the bus, they found that there were still many people here.

There are quite a lot of tourists from other places in Donghai City now. The climate here is warm, and it is not too cold in winter. Wang Maoxue and the others still wear down jackets at home, and take off their coats as soon as they get out of the car.

For a long time, some tourists thought that it would be nice to have accommodation near Lingyuan. No one wanted to build any supporting facilities before. Now Lingyuan has built it by itself, which makes everyone very satisfied.

It is very convenient to stay at Lingyuan Hotel, watch the sunrise on Cape Mountain in the morning, watch the night view at night, and visit the zoo during the day.

Lingyuan Holiday Hotel is adjacent to the free-range area of Lingyuan Zoo, full of strong Chinese style and a little wild. It has recreational facilities such as an outdoor swimming pool, fitness room, and video game room, as well as a small number of shops, which have already moved in, allowing tourists to meet their daily needs.

The restaurant is also mainly Chinese style, and there is no western restaurant for the time being. The dishes are from the same source as Jiajia Restaurant, but they have been more professionally designed.

After Wang Maoxue's family went through the formalities, they went to the family suite on the sixth floor.

Along the way, there are ink characters on the door, such as "Guangyu", "Shanju", "Dingzhong" and so on. It can be said that it follows the ancient system, and various meanings are written on the door lintel. It can also be simply understood as the name of the theme room.

Wang Sheng looked up at these names and asked, "Mom, what does this mean?"

He was referring to "Guangyu". Wang Maoxue didn't know much about it, so he got stuck.

Wang Jun is a teacher. He adjusted his glasses and said: "It means that the great achievements of the predecessors will benefit the future generations. Haha, in ancient times, if you passed the Jinshi exam, you can be listed here. Or if you like to play the piano, you can also write about swinging the strings here."

Wang Sheng understood immediately, and said, "Father, then I like to play King of Glory, can my lintel write Glory Gold?"

Wang Maoxue: "..."

Wang Jun said seriously: "Son, let's hit the king and write on the lintel!"

Wang Sheng: "Good dad!"

Wang Maoxue: "..."

Just as Wang Maoxue was about to talk about her son, she saw an old man standing at the door of a room with his head up and motionless.

Wang Sheng kindly went over and asked, "Grandpa, did you have a stiff neck?"

The old man woke up like a dream, "No, grandpa is reading this word... Look, kid, how well this word is written! It's really good, it's really good. You said that girl is so young, how did she write it so well?" What about good words?"

The three members of the Wang family also looked up. Yes, the writing on the door lintel was written in ink, but the three of them knew nothing about calligraphy, so they could only see that it was pretty, and they thought it was engraved with the fonts that came with the computer. Listen to the meaning of the old man, or someone specially asked the words

The old man sighed again: "The content of the lintel is different, and the style is also changed. This girl's skills are unmatched by anyone in the contemporary era. It is a rare encounter in a hundred years!"

This is blowing a little too far...

Wang Maoxue glanced at the old man, but she didn't know what the uncle was about. She was a little skeptical, in a newly developed tourist city, a small city on the 18th tier, in the hotels inside, there can still be a master of the level he said wrote an inscription on the lintel? Why does it sound a bit unreliable.

The old man is still admiring the words, they have come a long way, they have worked hard, and continue to look for their own room.

As soon as he opened the door, Wang Sheng let out a "wow".

When booking a room, Wang Maoxue chose a traditional themed room. This hotel is classically decorated, most of the rooms are classical in style, and a few are modern.

Nowadays, many hotels in scenic spots have a traditional style, but just like TV drama props, there is an atmosphere of modern craftsmanship.

As for this hotel, it definitely cost a fortune and is extraordinarily exquisite. On the dark red wooden bed, there are unicorn reliefs and the golden words "Shilin Yanqing".

There was a gourd-shaped vase on the cabinet. At first glance, Wang Maoxue didn't notice it. It was Wang Sheng who went to open the curtains. After the light instantly illuminated the room even brighter, she felt that her eyes were bright.

Generally, the vases placed in hotel rooms are mass-produced goods bought in the market. This vase is so big and flowery that Wang Maoxue thought it was extremely gaudy when she didn't see it clearly. But when the light comes, it is only when you look closely that you feel beautiful.

This gourd bottle has soft and elegant lines, and the flower decoration spreads from top to bottom, as if leaking from the mouth of the gourd. The color is elegant and fresh, and the brushwork is delicate. One can tell at a glance that it is definitely not a cheap mass-produced product.

This hotel is really costing money, such a beautiful bottle is willing to put it here for decoration, what if it breaks. Or to say that it is actually of good quality and low price, which really makes people want to buy a set.

Also after seeing this, Wang Maoxue suddenly thought that what the old man he met outside just now might be true, just like this vase, the boss is willing or willing.

Wang Maoxue couldn't help but wanted to pick up the bottle to have a closer look, but when she picked it up, she realized that she couldn't lift it up, as if the bottle had grown on the cabinet. When she touched the lower edge with her hand, it was also perfectly stitched. She wondered if it was glued together with super glue.

Wang Maoxue squatted down again, and wanted to ask her husband to come and take a closer look, but at this moment, she heard her son shout: "Mom, come and see! It's a giraffe!"

"Huh?" Wang Maoxue got up, walked to the small balcony of the room, and looked out—

The rolling mountains are on the side, all of which are short in the southern style, only one cape mountain stands tall. Looking around, it is a huge free-range zoo area, mostly shrubs and pastures, with few trees, no obstruction to the line of sight, and various animals scattered inside.

And the ones that are closer to them and can be seen clearly at a glance are a few giraffes, which are eating leaves leisurely.

A little farther away, you can also see a large number of water birds playing on the lake.

Directly below are clumps of bamboo, verdant and verdant.

"There is a feeling of being close to nature." Wang Jun hugged his son and let him see further, "It's really nice here, and the air is fresh."

Wang Maoxue nodded unconsciously. Whether it is the surrounding environment or the interior of the room, Wang Maoxue feels extremely comfortable. For her, this is very rare.

When staying outside, even a five-star hotel would make Wang Maoxue feel a little uneasy, not because of the imperfect facilities, but because of her psychological insecurity. But this hotel, for the first time, gave Wang Maoxue a sense of relaxation suitable for living, an unprecedented relaxation!

Is it brought by the surrounding natural environment, fresh and humid air, or the elegant interior decoration

Wang Maoxue didn't know, but she liked this feeling. After a long period of tension, her mind was relaxed, and she finally felt like she was on vacation.

After resting in the room for a while, it was dinner time. They went down to the first floor and found that there were not many people in the cafeteria, but the Chinese restaurant was overcrowded.

After taking a closer look, Wang Maoxue found that the cafeteria is more affordable, with more than one hundred people per person, while the Chinese restaurant orders by itself, and the dishes all start with a few hundred dishes.

Wang Maoxue thought that it is said that the restaurant in this hotel is from the same source as the Jiajia restaurant in the zoo, and Jiajia restaurant also has different cuisines, some affordable and some expensive, and generally the most recommended ones are all expensive! No matter which guide you choose, it is recommended to save money and order expensive dishes to try. It is too poor, but you can choose more affordable ones.

It seems that hotels are separating the two categories. Of course, Wang Maoxue chose to go to the Chinese restaurant. Fortunately, they got down early. Although it was full, there was no need to wait for a table.

Because of the satisfaction brought by the room, Wang Maoxue was in a good mood. Just for herself, she ordered pan-fried lotus root cake, loach and wheat soup, and three shredded bamboo shoots. I didn't order white rice for rice, but ordered three bowls of Shennong five-grain rice that was popular on the Internet.

Although the price is not so close to the people, the names of the dishes are very down-to-earth, and there is no fancy name. It may be because there is a Jiajia restaurant on the other side, so it does not correspond to it.

The waiter first brought up pan-fried lotus root pancakes, and reminded in a soft voice, "Eat it while it's hot, you three."

There were six lotus root cakes on a plain white plate, which were slightly yellowed and exuded the aroma of deep-fried lotus root, which was particularly appetizing. At that time, Wang Maoxue felt that her saliva secretion had increased.

The six lotus root cakes happened to be two for each person. Wang Maoxue patiently picked up one for her son, and then impatiently picked up the lotus root cake, blew it twice, and took a bite.

This lotus root is definitely made of crispy lotus root. It is fried just right, slightly crispy on the outside, a little salty, and has the taste of eggs. It should be egg custard.

After the puff pastry is bitten off, the fragrance of the lotus root becomes more intense. A little bit of oil juice flows into the mouth. After chewing, each bite has a strong fragrance of lotus root. The taste is excellent, and the taste is salty and not greasy.

"It's so delicious..." Wang Sheng said vaguely, biting the lotus root cake without fear of being hot.

Looking at Wang Jun again, he couldn't even speak.

Wang Jun likes traveling in mountains and rivers. He has been to many places, and of course he has eaten the food of many places. But in his life, he can be sure that he has never eaten such delicious lotus root cakes anywhere. If he could, he could eat all six of them by himself.

And this kind of sentence pattern of "I haven't eaten such delicious XX anywhere yet" has been repeated N times since then, and Wang Jun's cognition must be refreshed every time a dish is served.

They ordered six dishes, and they ate all of them.

In the end, the three of them slumped on the chairs, and Wang Maoxue was a little lost. "Xiao, Xiaosheng ate too much, and I need to take some digestive medicine later."

Wang Jun: "Give me a piece too..."

Tourists like this appear every day, and these newcomers will be fascinated by the delicious dishes. And even regular customers enjoy every meal extremely.

This also led to the fact that although there are many people in the restaurant, it is not very noisy.

After eating, they strolled back to the room slowly, and they had to go to bed early today, so that they would have the energy to climb the mountain tomorrow. On the way back, Wang Maoxue also heard a tourist asking at the front desk: "Why don't you sell it? Then where did you get the vase? Can you tell me the channel?"

Staff: "Excuse me, sir, those are all customized by a friend of our boss. The quantity is limited and not for sale. His friend himself does not accept orders."

The tourist said disappointedly: "Then can you sell me the vase in my room? How much will it cost?"

Hearing their conversation, Wang Maoxue was a little disappointed, because she was actually as interested in vases as the tourist.

After returning to the room, Wang Maoxue couldn't help squatting in front of the vase to look at it again. Wang Jun said, "Why are you squatting all the time, can't you use the bed to look at it?"

"I can't hold it." Wang Maoxue said.

Wang Jun ran over to pick up the vase, but the vase didn't move at all, and he was also shocked, "Damn it, is it nailed or something, it can't be lifted."

No wonder Wang Maoxue could only half-squat here to watch if she wanted to see it.

"Hey, that's not bad, you can't steal it away." Wang Jun said with a smile, but guessed Duan Jiaze's original intention of designing this, "Okay, wife, go to bed early and get up early tomorrow."

Don't talk about this point usually, even at one or two o'clock in the morning, Wang Maoxue is also suffering from insomnia tossing and turning. But today, she really wanted to sleep, fearing that the drowsiness would disappear again, Wang Maoxue hurried to wash up, and then lay down on the bed.

The husband was playing games together in his son's room, and the sound effects came faintly. Wang Maoxue, who usually requires an absolutely quiet sleeping environment, fell asleep without knowing it today under the accompaniment of the sound effects. In her sleep, her brows stretched, and the corners of her mouth even Gently rise...

The next day, the alarm clock rang, and Wang Maoxue woke up gradually, only to feel refreshed. Looking at the time, although it is four o'clock in the morning, because I went to bed early last night, I have already slept for eight hours.

This is very rare for Wang Maoxue. Not to mention, last night... She sat on the bed in a daze.

Wang Jun got up, and Wang Sheng also ran over from his room, climbed onto their bed, and turned off the alarm clock.

After lying down or lying down for a while, the three of them suddenly said in unison: "I had a good dream last night!"

Immediately, they looked at each other in surprise and couldn't help laughing, "What, we couldn't have the same dream, could we?"

"Let me tell you first, I had a dream last night, and I dreamed that I was the king!" Wang Sheng couldn't wait to say, in the dream last night, he became a master who could carry the whole audience, sweeping away all the depression, it was simply Don't be too cool.

Wang Jun also said: "Well, I dreamed that I won the first place in the national teaching competition..."

Under the watchful eyes of her husband and son, Wang Maoxue rubbed her head and said, "I, I just dreamed that I was sleeping. It seemed to be viewed from a third-party perspective. I slept very comfortably in various positions. I can almost still feel the same comfort in the pile of pillows... Moreover, I slept for eight hours without waking up once!"

All anxiety and boredom are swept away, and the quality of sleep is excellent!

Wang Jun and Wang Sheng also nodded in agreement. They also felt that the happiness in the dream was very real. As a result, the corners of their mouths are still raised, and their spirits are particularly good.

Wang Jun said with emotion: "It seems that we still have to go to this kind of city for vacation more. It has not been over-developed, with green water and green mountains, close to nature, and even sleeps better."

Everyone has dreams at night, but they don't necessarily remember them in the morning, and they don't necessarily all have good dreams. Probably under the excellent sleep environment, their dreams are also particularly beautiful. Because this hotel really exudes a livable atmosphere everywhere.

It can be imagined that the designer definitely put a lot of thought into it, and the boss is really willing to spend money... The rent is really worth it!

Boss Lingyu is...feeding the ants.

Duan Jiaze was squatting under a tree, with a lot of Nanke ants gathering at his feet, he was feeding them with whole wheat bread, and he was muttering: "It has received rave reviews within a few days of opening, and the continuation rate is also very high, it's really hard work everyone ... Come, eat more."

The leaders of two cities even came to support them. The next day, they came to ask Duan Jiaze if there was a conference hall. During the design, we really designed several multi-functional halls, some of which can be used for meetings. Although they didn't go on, the meaning is clear that it may be designated as a meeting place in the future.

Moreover, Xiao Rong's appearance at the opening also immediately attracted a lot of attention. After all, his resignation is a big event in the entertainment industry this year. Now that the exposure really went to work—although it seems that it is not in a Taoist temple—could it not be hotly discussed.

But these people couldn't find Xiao Rong by themselves in Lingyuan, because Xiao Rong didn't need to "show his face" and was covered by Xiao Qing. If he didn't want to, outsiders would not be able to see him at all. So it can only return without success, plus increase the traffic data for Lingyuan.

Seeing that the momentum is good and there is no danger of losing money, Duan Jiaze naturally thanked all the employees and sent animals. He carefully kneaded the bread into small pieces and fed them to the Nanke ants.

At this time, Huang Qi's voice sounded from behind, "Director, are you playing with ants again?"

Duan Jiaze turned around: "..."

Alas, in Huang Qi's mind, does he become mentally handicapped from time to time, last time he was seen talking to the ants on the desk.
