Gulangyu Island and Lu Island are only about 600 meters apart. Even if you take a slow ferry, you can only arrive in five or six minutes. The speed of the speedboat is far faster than the ferry and is even more rapid.

The island, which was originally within the line of sight, quickly became larger in everyone's field of vision.

Standing on the pier, you can vaguely see the shadows on the beach, and looking from the speedboat, you can clearly see the crowd playing in the water.

The speedboat was like flying on the water. Lin Qiao and several other girls screamed in excitement. Even Cheng Juan, who was a little introverted, looked excited. At the same time, they were a little nervous, holding the metal bar on the side of the seat with both hands.

The strong wind blew everyone's hair around. Xia Rufei was worried that Lin Qiao would catch a cold, so he helped her erect the collar of the down jacket. Lin Qiao smiled sweetly at Xia Rufei and said loudly in Xia Rufei's ear: "Thank you, Brother Rufei!"

It’s not okay to not make a loud noise! ​​The wind is whistling in my ears, and I can’t hear the soft voices at all.

When the speedboat was about to reach the shallow sea area near Gulangyu, a dexterous turn, like a drift in a racing car, brought out a beautiful arc-shaped white track, and the girls screamed.

The speedboat was speeding around Gulangyu. You could see that the island was green very well, with lush trees everywhere. When the speedboat came to the side of the Zheng Chenggong statue, he really felt the hugeness of the sculpture. Although the statue was very high, he still felt a sense of oppression when he looked up.

After a few rounds, the speedboat Xia Rufei and his friends took slowly slowed down and finally stopped at Gulangyu Wharf.

Lin Qiao and the others still feel a little unsatisfied.

Everyone walked up to the dock by boarding. Xiao Zhang had arranged an electric car with tourists to wait here in advance. He warmly greeted everyone to get on the bus.

The group took an electric car and arrived at the hotel that Liu Zhe arranged for them in advance.

"Brother Xia, are you all hungry?" Xiao Zhang said enthusiastically, "The hotel room has been opened. How about we go to the restaurant for dinner first and then check in?"

"No problem, we will follow your arrangements!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

So Xiao Zhang took everyone to the first-floor restaurant. The private room opened in advance was very heated. He had already ordered some dishes. After everyone found a seat to sit down, he asked the waiter to take a few menus and ask Xia Rufei and the others to add a few more dishes.

Xia Rufei is not particularly particular about what he eats - mainly because he is used to the delicious Taoyuan vegetables, and he feels like that if he eats any delicacies outside.

So he smiled and distributed the menu to Lin Qiao and the others, and then said to Zhao Yongjun: "Brother Zhao, let the ladies order the dishes! Do you have no objection?"

Zhao Yongjun laughed and said, "It should be! And the beauties are all studying on Lu Island, so they must know what local dishes are delicious!"

Lin Qiao was not polite, and ordered a few special dishes according to the menu, while He He and the others were relatively reserved. At Xia Rufei's urging, each of them ordered another dish.

Xiao Zhang returned the menu to the waiter and said, "Let the kitchen hurry up and prepare the dishes I ordered before, hurry up and put them on! Also, bring all the prepared wine!"

"Okay! Please wait!" the waiter said quickly.

This is a designated hospitality unit of Ludao State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and Xiao Zhang is specially responsible for the reception. Even their boss has to curry favor with Xiao Zhang, so the waiter's attitude is naturally respectful.

The waiter first uploaded the menu to the system, then whispered a few instructions through the walkie-talkie, and then brought all the prepared wine.

Xiao Zhang said diligently: "Brother Xia, let's have some drinks at noon?"

Xia Rufei glanced at him and couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the white wine he had prepared.

He said, "Okay! Men can drink white wine! Girls can do whatever they want. If you don't want to drink, drink juice. You can choose it yourself!"

"I want to drink red wine!" Lin Qiao immediately raised her hand and said.

"Then I'll have some red wine bar too!" Chen Xi was also unwilling to fall behind.

The steady He He and the quiet Cheng Juan chose juice at the same time, one of them ordered orange juice and the other one wanted cucumber juice.

After pouring the drinks on each, Xia Rufei raised his glass and said with a smile: "Let's have a drink together! I suggest to the first cup for the classmates! Thank you for your care for Qiaoer!"

Lin Qiao smiled and looked at Xia Rufei, and the warm feeling filled his heart.

Zhao Yongjun and others were naturally very supportive and raised their wine glasses one after another, which made He He and the other a little embarrassed.

But they didn't feel embarrassed, and soon picked up the cup generously and everyone had a drink together.

After drinking half a glass of red wine, Lin Qiao's pretty face turned red and very cute.

The dishes were served quickly. Xiao Zhang specialized in receptions. He was very good at ordering and the combinations were very reasonable.

In island cities like Ludao, there are naturally all kinds of freshest seafood, which is also the most expensive part of this lunch.

In addition, there are local specialties such as ginger duck and Tong'an Fengshouji. The staple food is also very distinctive taro bread, leek box, and fish ball soup, roasted pork dumplings, and earthen bamboo jelly.

Whether it was Zhao Yongjun and others from the capital, Lin Qiao and a few roommates, they all ate with relish.

Chen Xi, who has the most lively personality, chewed the earthen bamboo jelly and said, "The smell of this earthen bamboo jelly is better than that of the Nanmen family in our school! Brother Xia, can I pack a piece and take it back?"

The name of the earthen bamboo shoots is bamboo shoots, but it has nothing to do with bamboo shoots. Its main raw material is a mollusk from the sea, which looks very similar to earthworms, so locals generally call it sea earthworms. Sea earthworms have a lot of gum. After boiling, pour it into a mold for freezing, and cut it into small pieces after forming. It is a famous dish on Ludao with soy sauce, Yongchun vinegar, sweet spicy sauce, mustard, garlic, jellyfish and coriander, shredded white radish, shredded peppers, and tomato slices.

For outsiders, it looks like jelly containing earthworms. Zhao Yongjun and others are both big men, and they are always curious about new things. It is understandable that they especially love to eat this.

Chen Xi, a girl, was not afraid at all, but instead ate with relish, which made Xia Rufei amazed.

He said with a smile: "Chen Xi, you did not insult your name as a Guangdong province!"

People in Guangdong Province are famous for their delicious food. How can I say that? There is nothing that people in Guangdong Province dare not eat!

Chen Xi said with a smile: "I have eaten all the things that are much stranger than this! What is the earthen bamboo shoot jelly? Look, even Juanzi dares to eat it!"

Although the quiet Cheng Juan also eats it, she just tastes it casually and does not have the inner love of Chen Xi.

When she heard Chen Xi mention her, she couldn't help but blush and said, "Aren't it all you?"

Lin Qiao laughed and said, "Brother Ruofei, Juanzi's first time eating earthen bamboo jelly was bought by Xixi. She also smashed it and put it on a plate for Juanzi to eat. Later, she found out that she was eating sea earthworms, and Juanzi almost spit out the bitter gall..."

Chen Xi said with a smile: "Juanzi is too timid, so she got used to it later? Is it that scary? Not to mention sea earthworms, even if they are real earthworms, as long as they taste well, I will still dare to eat them!"

Cheng Juan was originally eating a piece of earthy bamboo shoots, but when she heard Chen Xi's words, she almost vomited. She put down the chopsticks and said coquettishly: "Xixi, can you not talk about such disgusting topics when eating?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

After the meal, everyone became familiar with each other, and Cheng Juan and He He were not as reserved as they were at the beginning.

He He also took the initiative to change the red wine and toasted Xia Rufei with a glass, and apologized for the misunderstanding of Xia Rufei at the door of the girls' dormitory.

Xia Rufei didn't take it to heart at all, but instead thought it was quite interesting. Several girls were worried that Lin Qiao would go astray and hurriedly chased after him... And this also reflected from one side that He He and his friends had a harmonious relationship in the dormitory. The sisters were very concerned about Lin Qiao, which also relieved Xia Rufei a lot.

After the guests and hosts had fun, Xiao Zhang, who had bought the order in advance, walked over with a few fast food boxes and said with a smile: "Brother Xia, I packed some of the earthy bamboo shoots, ginger ducks and so on, so please take them back and taste them!"

"You are intent!" Xia Ruofei smiled and expressed his gratitude, then handed the packaged food to Chen Xi, and said with a smile, "Come on, Chen Xi, this is specially prepared by Xiao Zhang for you!"

"Thank you!" Chen Xi said with a sweet smile.

Lin Qiao had already decided to skip class in the afternoon, and He He and the others had to rush back to school - all four of them had enrolled in this elective course, and Lin Qiao didn't go to class, so they still had to go.

Xia Rufei thought about it and asked Xiao Zhang to send them back to school.

Before taking Chen Xi and others away, Xiao Zhang first helped Xia Rufei and others check in. They were all sea view rooms. You could see a large area of ​​the sea when you lie on the bed. A few steps away from the door is the beach. It is the best room in the hotel.

Because Lin Qiao also stayed, she temporarily opened an extra room, which was also a sea view room, right next to Xia Rufei's room.

After checking in, Xiao Zhang was busy arranging an electric car and preparing to take Chen Xi and others back to Ludao University.

At the entrance of the hotel, He He and Xiao Zhang got on the electric car together and waved goodbye to Xia Rufei, Lin Qiao and others.

Xia Rufei pondered for a moment and said, "Xiao Zhang, since you are leaving the island, please help me with something!"

"Brother Xia, you are so kind. Just give me instructions if you have any questions!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile.

Xia Rufei took out his car key and handed it to Xiao Zhang, saying, "My car is parked in the parking lot on the east side of the dock. It is a Knight 15 off-road vehicle, which should be easy to find. After you sent a few girls back near the dock, you helped me get a white plastic bag into the car. There are food boxes in the plastic bags, so you will definitely not make any mistakes!"

Xia Rufei considered that he would spend the night in Gulangyu tonight. If the braised food made by Hu Zi’s mother was stuffed in the car for one night, even if the weather was colder, it might deteriorate, so he wanted Xiao Zhang to bring this big bag of braised food to Gulangyu and store it in the hotel refrigerator.

"No problem!" Xiao Zhang said readily, "After I find your car, I will call you if I don't understand anything I don't understand!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded and said, "Okay! Then I'll bother you!"

"Don't be polite, it should be!" Xiao Zhang said with a smile, "Brother Xia, it will take about an hour and a half for me to come and go. If you have any needs here, you will tell the hotel directly. I have already ordered it!"

"I understand, don't worry about it here!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "We will be free to move around this island in the afternoon!"

"Okay, call me if you have something to do. I should go back to the hotel before 3:30 in the afternoon. My room is opposite your room!" Xiao Zhang said.

Their unit has reserved a standard room in the hotel for a long time. Usually, everyone can stay in Gulangyu overnight. When there is a reception task, it is very convenient to use the room as a staff member.

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao Zhang, your task is to send the three girls back to school safely. We can do it ourselves here! You guys go quickly! Don't delay the afternoon class!"

After saying that, Xia Rufei waved goodbye to He He and the others, watching the electric car drive out of the hotel, turn on the tree-shaded road, and disappear from everyone's sight.

Xia Ruofei turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, coming to Gulangyu is just a casual one. What do you do in the afternoon? If you want to go out for a walk, go out for a walk, want to sleep, want to be dazed, and want to see the beauties on the beach. Anyway, please feel free!"

"Agree! I haven't relaxed so much for a long time. When I came to this beautiful island, I felt that the rhythm suddenly slowed down and I felt much more relaxed!" Zhao Yongjun said.

So everyone disbanded at the entrance of the hotel. Hou Liang, Wei Jun and Liu Jian went directly to buy beach clothes and prepared to go to the beach to enjoy the delicious food. Zhao Yongjun and Xu Zixuan were more interested in the buildings with different styles of Gulangyu. They left the hotel one by one, and Song Rui went straight back to the room. After drinking and eating, he wanted to have a good sleep.

"Brother Ruofei! I want to go out for a walk with you!" Lin Qiao said with eyes looking at Xia Ruofei.

Xia Rufei scraped her nose with a doting heart and said with a smile: "You have been to Lu Island for half a year. Have you not been to Gulang Island before?"

"That's different!" Lin Qiaojiao said silly, "I used to come with my classmates, but this time you are with me!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "No problem! You can go wherever you want! My mission today is to accompany you!"

"That's great!" Lin Qiao said happily, "Then let's go! I know there is a shop where the roasted grass is very good, I'll take you to try it!"

"I ate so much at noon, but I can still eat it!" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, "Be careful to become a fat girl, and then I can't get married..."

"Brother Ruofei, you are so bad! Why are you making fun of me?" Lin Qiao said unyieldingly.
Chapter completed!
