Chapter 179 Brother Monkey

Author: Autumn Rain Is Meaning Dust

Meng Yuanyuan was thinking about her thoughts alone and was very happy. Then she went back to the bedroom to rest.

She plans to take her mother to meet relatives and friends in Hangzhou these days, then see the scenery of Hangzhou, and then go to Southeast Asia to have fun together, relax and let her mother enjoy life together.

However, my mother reminded me that I have to arrange facial spa, body classes, and yoga classes every other day. She must always keep it beautiful and avoid being fed up with the new and old.

...

Li Zhuo stayed with Xie Wenxi for two days, and then he received information such as visas and other information from his secretary to Indonesia.

So, on the morning of the third day, he made an appointment with a Didi car and took a suitcase to ask Didi to take him to Xiaoshan Airport.

I didn’t drive this time. I used to park for several days each time, and the parking fee was not low.

There is no direct flight to Surabaya in Hangzhou, but it’s okay. Jakarta is not far from Surabaya. Both are on Java Island, so it’s easy to get there by plane or train.

It is close to 5,000 kilometers from Hangzhou to Jakarta, which is still relatively far.

I was lucky, so my secretary helped him buy a first-class seat to Jakarta, Indonesia.

The plane is from China Southern Airlines, the service is pretty good, and the first-class food is also good. And because of the distance, they not only provide two meals, but also distributed snacks several times.

There is a staple food of one meal, chicken mushroom oil noodles, which tastes very pleasant, and the other meal is rice, but it is served with jingyuan fish, which is also very delicious.

The flight attendant lady had a very meticulous service and provided blankets and other items. Li Zhuo still ate and slept and ate. It took about 7 hours before he successfully arrived in Jakarta from Hangzhou.

After getting off the plane, at the hatch exit, he saw a welcome guest from Mandarin Oriental Hotel waiting for him with his name written on it.

It is comfortable to stay in such a global chain hotel when you go out. They can help check in, which is more convenient.

The staff member is a Chinese. Although he is not very fluent in Chinese, it is enough. He shook hands with him politely, then pulled his suitcase for him and headed straight to the parking lot.

There, Li Zhuo took the welcome car sent by the hotel and headed straight to Mandarin Oriental Hotel.

The distance to the hotel is very close, and the straight line is only 7.7 kilometers. In a short while, the car he took arrived at the hotel.

The secretary helped him book an Oriental King Suite with an area of ​​140 square meters. The price of tax-added is 16.5 million rupiah per night, which is equivalent to about 7,500 RMB per night.

Li Zhuo went in and looked at the room. It felt very neat. Only the carpets in the living room and bedroom were a bit of a perfect style, and the others were standard modern facilities.

This hotel has an affiliated Chinese restaurant called Lifeng.

After checking in, Li Zhuo walked to this Chinese restaurant for dinner.

A Chinese waiter came over and greeted him in Chinese.

After Li Zhuo sat down, he looked at the menu handed over by the waiter and felt that the Chinese food here should be authentic, not improved, but the price is too expensive, and there is also a service fee.

But it is normal. It is rare to have authentic Cantonese cuisine in Jakarta.

Li Zhuo ordered the nostalgic imperial capital roast duck, abalone sea cucumber, orange peel beef, shrimp dumplings, and fried rice noodles.

The dishes were served one after another, but the taste was a bit hard to describe.

The roast duck is made in a relatively average way, which is obviously much worse than the craftsmanship of the imperial capital, and even worse than the craftsmanship of any roast duck restaurant on the roadside in China.

The dishes are sweet, especially the orange-skinned beef, which is not very suitable for your appetite.

However, the shrimp dumplings are good. After eating them, he settled the bill and then took a walk near the hotel.

Jakarta is the largest city in Southeast Asia with a population of over 10 million. It is a harbor city. It was famous for its production of spices and peppers hundreds of years ago. Overseas Chinese call it Coconut City.

Historically, it was a place where different cultures meet, including Chinese culture, Indian culture, Arab culture, and Dutch culture.

Of course, it also shows from the side that it has been colonized many times in history, especially because of spices, which were occupied by the powers such as Portugal and the Netherlands.

Li Zhuo took a walk here and accidentally saw many Wuling Hongguang cars.

Li Zhuo felt this car was quite friendly. His father had one before. He could see them in a foreign land, which shows that domestic cars are rising rapidly.

In addition, the prosperity and poverty here are closely linked. The street he walked through is very prosperous and modern, but after a little turn, you can see large areas of low tile houses mixed between tall buildings.

It is really poor, the alley is only four or five steps wide, the garbage is not cleaned up, and the nearby river water is seriously polluted.

It feels like the small cities of the Celestial Empire in the 1990s, but the development is still not good. It is said that Indonesians are generally lazy and therefore poor, but they are willing to be poor and do not want to change, which is really difficult to understand.

Li Zhuo took a walk and didn't dare to walk too far, so he went back to the hotel.

The next morning, he checked in and took the hotel concierge car to the airport.

The distance from Jakarta to Surabaya is about 800 kilometers, and it takes about an hour to fly.

The name of the city of Sishui is very unique. There is a Sishui County in China. It is said that this is a name given to Chinese people. In order to commemorate the Sizhou Buddha, Chinese people from afar built a Sishui temple, which gradually evolved into the city name.

After getting off the plane, Li Zhuo came out of the exit and went to take a taxi.

The driver is a Chinese face, he speaks Chinese well, and speaks Mandarin, so the two of them have no trouble of communicating.

The two chatted for a few words, and the Chinese explained that he knew he was Chinese, and only remembered that his ancestors had a surname of Chen, probably from southern Fujian, and his ancestors had been here for two or three hundred years.

He said that in the 1950s, in order to avoid persecution from locals, his grandfather registered himself as a Batavian. After two or three generations, he basically no longer spoke Chinese. He himself learned Chinese because the Celestial Empire became stronger:

"I know I am Chinese, and more and more mainland people come to do business, which is also an opportunity for me. When I went to the Chinese class, I told myself that if I couldn't even learn the ancestors, it would be too embarrassing. As a result, I did learn very quickly. Maybe this is what is engraved in my genes."

Li Zhuo asked:

“Is there a lot of situations in Indonesia that change ethnicity?”

"It's so many. There was a time in history that the government did not allow Chinese people to use Chinese names. Indonesian Chinese should be between 10 million and 20 million. However, when the official registration of ethnic groups was found to be only 2 million, most of which changed to other ethnic groups..."

"Is Indonesia still xenophobic towards Chinese now?" Li Zhuo asked again. This is a question that ordinary people are concerned about at present.

"There are still xenophobic people. Many of them are brainless and unmotivated. They are generally poor because Chinese people are hardworking and their money is with Chinese people. For example, there are about 500,000 Chinese people in this Sishui city, accounting for only 1/7 of the total population, but 80% of the local economic industry and wealth are in the hands of Chinese people..."

In terms of business and economic ability, Chinese are much better than locals.

He continued:

"But if you really contact the locals, you will find that most locals are docile and honest, and they are also very good to people. The bad ones are not these people, but the bad ones are politicians with ulterior motives who persecut the Chinese by inciting national sentiments. Now that China is strong, they dare not..."

Li Zhuo chatted with him, and left a contact information for him and agreed to travel here in his car.

After arriving at the Marriott Hotel in the city, Li Zhuo checked in and booked a 128 square meter executive suite. The price included in tax is 4.84 million rupiah, about 2,200 yuan.

After that, Li Zhuo continued to ride in Brother Chen's car and began to wander around in the name of travel.

I went to Genglanzhi Beach and the Dutch Castle, and then to Zhenghe Mosque.

This mosque is not big, and in the residential area of ​​Chinese people, it is generally richer than in other places.

The mosque is in Chinese style, and not many people may know that Zheng He’s surname is actually Ma.

Li Zhuo went in and looked at it and found that there were many envoys and celebrities who left their words in the temple.

After coming out, Li Zhuo asked Brother Chen to take him out of the city and head straight to the northeast in the name of wanting to see life in the countryside.

After leaving the suburbs, the car continued to move forward for another two or three kilometers on the dirt road, Li Zhuo sensed the locked monkey.

Li Zhuo directed the taxi and finally stopped outside a planting farm, where Li Zhuo saw the monkey through the fence.

It was tied to a tree and stood up and looked at them curiously.
