Cross-border surveillance

The next day, Tao An got up earlier than usual. It was just before eight o'clock when he finished cooking and practicing. Then he packed up his luggage and set off.

He closed the doors and windows and called the motorcycle taxi driver. After waiting for a while, he took a car and went straight to the town. The private car agreed in advance would come to pick him up and take him to the airport. The price was not expensive, only a hundred yuan, and it could be done in a few hours. arrive.

There are many private cars similar to those used for short and medium distances in Meixian. Taking such cars has certain safety risks, but the advantage is that they are convenient and available at any time.

The highway entrance is right on the edge of town and leads directly to the airport.

Speaking of which, a few years ago, it was because of the construction of this airport expressway that it had to pass through Tao An's hometown village, so farmland was occupied and residents were relocated. However, Tao An's old house was not within the area of ​​the land. There are no neighbors within a hundred meters.

The highway was just a few hundred meters away from his old house. During his return, he could see it when he looked up in the yard.

When going to the county station to take a bus, the bus would not leave until the specified time. Tao Anxian was troubled and chose to take a private car. In the past, he always chose regular channels. He was in a hurry and had to practice his martial arts after settling down in Hangzhou.

In order to make money, the private car service was quite attentive. He only waited in the town for about ten minutes before they arrived. There was already a passenger. After Tao An got in the car, they had to pick up two more people. They were nearby and their attitude was very good. Well, he apologized and said it wouldn't take long, and also provided Tao An with a bottle of mineral water to quench his thirst.

I guess the drivers have become talkative due to boredom after a long time. People from all over the world are very good at talking. When they talked about Tao An going on a "tour", the driver was very envious and said that he was out of breath due to the pressure of his family. It’s so hard to be angry, with a mortgage, a car loan, parents, children, and a wife with a bad temper. Otherwise, who would take the risk of running a private car, and being punished would cause liver tremors if caught.

The car was loaded with four passengers and they headed straight to the expressway for the airport. On the way, Tao An also saw the landmark building in Meixian County, No. 1 Pot in the World, but he had not been there for several months since he came back.

There was a woman in her twenties accompanying him, who was the passenger before Tao An got on the bus. She was average-looking and wore heavy makeup. She was quite confident anyway. Tao An did not make any comments about others, but what left him speechless was that the woman was obviously The child was sitting in the passenger seat, but after Tao An got in the car, she actually used the excuse of motion sickness in the front seat and ran next to Tao An in the back, leaning against him intentionally or unintentionally, but it wasn't too much...

Suffering from being speechless, she arrived at the airport and quickly got out of the car. The woman took the initiative to ask Tao An for her contact information. Tao An politely refused on the pretext that her mobile phone was out of battery, and they stopped pestering her. They just parted ways by chance.

Not to mention the changes in body shape and appearance improvement due to practicing martial arts, in the past there were many people who took the initiative to ask for contact information from Tao An, including some who were stunning and beautiful, but he just didn't call, he had learned to refuse a long time ago, and he didn't keep fish. , I never thought about why I would flirt with others in the future, I might as well just do it to save myself the trouble.

The check-in procedure went smoothly, except that Tao An's lighter, which he usually used to light the incense, was left behind when going through the security check.

He arrived at the airport an hour early and boarded the plane after ten o'clock to wait for take-off.

It's embarrassing to say that after living for more than 20 years, this was Tao An's first time flying. It was quite new. It was probably because of his inner feelings. Sitting in the position he always felt uneasy, he didn't feel as safe as standing on the ground.

Although it was his first time to fly, he didn't make any jokes. What puzzled him was that the stewardesses on the plane were all young and beautiful beauties. They all looked average, except for their facial features. Good looks, average to above average.

Could it be that only first class cabins have truly beautiful stewardess services? Anyway, Tao An is reluctant to spend that money just to test his curiosity.

He didn't know anyone around him, and he wasn't someone who liked to talk to him, so Tao An felt a little bored from the moment he boarded the plane. However, with his good looks, he frequently attracted the attention of some girls around him, but that was all. It's just a matter of looking at it secretly.

The plane took off not long after, and since there were no stops or transfers along the way, it took about two hours to fly to Hangzhou's Xiaoshan Airport. Everything went smoothly and nothing bloody happened.

I left the airport and took a taxi online to go straight to the hotel I had booked in advance. It was only one o'clock when I got my room card and settled in.

The purpose of Tao An's trip was to get the Thousand-Year Lake Mud, so he booked a hotel just outside the West Lake Scenic Area. Because it was close to the scenic area, the room price was higher than other places. He didn't want to take advantage of this and book a long distance. Tossing back and forth.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese traditional festival Qixi will be in a few days, so there are many people visiting West Lake, which makes the hotel full. Fortunately, Tao An booked a few days in advance.

Tao An understands the mentality of tourists. It's the Chinese Valentine's Day, so visiting Broken Bridge is a good time.

Tao An did some research before coming here. You can visit the West Lake at night, which gave him a little more confidence in getting the Thousand-Year Lake Mud. At night, many things were much more convenient, but he didn't want to do it unless he had to. Take advantage of the darkness and jump into the water to fish.

For now, he still has no idea how to get the mud at the bottom of the lake, so he will observe first before making any plans.

When checking the guide, he focused on the dining situation around the hotel. There was nothing he could do about it. Going out was different from home. Eating in his stomach was a big problem now. He had to practice, which was like a bottomless pit.

"It's still early, let's eat and practice first, and then go to the scenic spot in the afternoon to learn more about it. The West Lake is so big, I will definitely not understand the entire environment in one day, but I should be able to find opportunities, right? I have to buy a ticket every time I enter the scenic spot. , some places have to be purchased separately, which is another expense.”

Thinking of these, Tao An got excited.

Same thing, let’s eat first.

Then he took out his mobile phone and opened the nearby map, his eyes wandering around several buffets nearby.

There is no way, with his current appetite, he will go bankrupt soon if he doesn't eat at the buffet.

"The person who runs the buffet shouldn't be so stingy as to kick me out, right? Starting from this public buffet, it only costs 98 per person. It is indeed quite popular near the scenic spot. After that, I have to switch to another one every time. I can't catch one. pull out"

After making up his mind, Tao An left the hotel and walked there. It wasn't far, it could be reached in more than ten minutes on foot.

"Welcome, who are you sir?"

After arriving at the place, the girl at the front desk asked politely. After seeing Tao An's appearance, she smiled even brighter.

"One, thank you." Tao An nodded, thinking to himself, I don't know if you will be able to smile later, and that's not right. I just work here, and the one who can't smile should be the boss.

The welcoming girl in cheongsam led the way: "Sir, please come here. We pay first before eating. You can get as much as you want. We refuse to waste. If you take too much and can't finish it, you will be charged according to the quantity. I hope you understand."

"I know the rules, watch the road, don't look at me," Tao An said with a smile, which made the girl blush.

After paying the money and finding a seat, Tao Anxin said sorry and got up to get the ingredients.

Since this store focuses on the general public, high-end ingredients such as lobster and abalone are naturally not available. However, there is no shortage of chicken, duck, and fish. Each portion is not large. Tao An took one or two from the beginning. Ten plates, mainly because the table just couldn’t accommodate it, so I planned to take it out after eating.

At this moment, the store has not realized the seriousness of the problem...
