Sign In To 300 Cities Around The World For The Start

Chapter 172 Chrysanthemum Protection Fee! (Seeking subscription, seeking monthly pass)

In Chicago, Chen Anhe was here when signing in.

As a beautiful tourist city with a national name, there are naturally many attractions to visit, such as Chicago Navy Pier, Grant Park, Lincoln Park Zoo, Old Water Tower, Cloud Gate, etc.

Chen Anhe is not interested in visiting the park.

He just wanted to see Cloud Gate.

Cloud Gate is a work of art, but also a masterpiece.

Time magazine even described Cloud Gate as a’tourist magnet’ and an’extraordinary artwork’.

After half an hour, Chen Anhe came to Millennium Park.

Cloud Gate is located in it.

Chen Anhe walked inside.

When he arrived near Cloud Gate, there were already a lot of tourists around the “Silver Bean” that looked like a giant bean. As a famous attraction in Chicago, this place is almost a must-go place for tourists to take a group photo.

Chen Anhe had no idea of ​​taking a group photo.

He just stood aside, looking at this silver bean.

This is the missing’mercury’.

The whole body of the Cloud Gate is composed of 168 stainless steel plates welded together. The highly polished exterior has no obvious joints. Although it is huge, it has a unique appearance, just like a huge silver bean.

The entire sculpture is like a spherical mirror, reflecting the skyscrapers and white clouds in Chicago.

Chen Anhe came here to watch it not only because of the unique shape of the Cloud Gate, but also for a more important reason. Through the Cloud Gate, he can see the panoramic projection of the Chicago skyline.

The sights around the square have a panoramic view.

Chen Anhe likes this feeling very much.

His gaze slowly moved upward, and suddenly, his gaze froze.

He looked back again.

Through the Cloud Gate, he saw a group of blacks, and a woman was surrounded by a corner of the wall.

Chen Anhe was not surprised by such a situation. In Chicago in July and August, such incidents were not uncommon, because this was a period of high incidence of robbery.

But this woman, he knew.

Xiao Liangqi!

Chen Anhe looked slightly different.

He looked at the Cloud Gate and clearly saw through the stainless steel plate on it that Xiao Liangqi still dressed very fashionable today, but she obviously did not expect that she would be robbed in the public, and she was stunned.

Chen Anhe shook his head.

He had actually reminded Xiao Liangqi.

Chicago is not safe.

Although the Loop area is relatively better than the south, it is actually not much better.

Especially she was alone, and she wore very fashionable clothes.

and……

She still doesn’t understand the rules.

In a beautiful country, it is a habit to carry around US$20. This is to prevent people from being stopped to ask for money and you can spend money to buy peace.

And this 20 dollars is usually called the chrysanthemum protection fee.

Xiao Liangqi is wearing a short skirt today, and it is obvious that she is not prepared at all.

I was stopped all of a sudden, and I was at a loss as to what to do.

“This stupid woman thought this is a domestic country and can use mobile payment? This is a beautiful country, where cash and credit cards are used.” Chen Anhe sighed lightly.

He walked slowly towards the corner.

If it is in peacetime, he is actually not willing to make a move, but this is a person who is abroad, and he is still a person who has had some fate, he thought about it, and decided to make a move.

after all……

It’s only twenty dollars!

Seeing someone coming over, these robbed blacks showed a vigilant look. There was a slender young man who walked directly in front of Chen Anhe, trying to drive him away.

Chen Anhe didn’t say a word.

Just flipped through his pocket, and found out the only twenty dollars left.

Then handed it over.

Waved his hand, indicating that they can go.

Several black people looked at each other, and after a few glances, they left quickly.

Their needs have always been simple.

Ask for money! ! !

Chen Anhe glanced at Xiao Liangqi, who was disheveled.

Indifferently:

“Twenty dollars, remember to transfer.”

“When you come to a beautiful country, you don’t even understand the rules here. I really don’t know if you have a mine at home or think you belong to a cat and have nine lives.”

The horror on Xiao Liangqi’s face has not faded.

She was full of grief and angrily said:

“I don’t know, there will be robbery in broad daylight.”

“Didn’t you say that it is safe during the day?”

Chen Anhe slowly said:

“I mean it’s safe during the day, but I didn’t expect you to be alone.”

“Where is the person behind you?”

Xiao Liangqi’s face was embarrassed.

“What do you mean by twenty dollars?”

Chen Anhe said lightly:

“This is the tradition here.”

“I was stopped by someone on the road and asked for money. Generally, giving 10 dollars to the other party would be too little, but giving too much and distressed. 20 dollars is a sweetspot that both parties are satisfied with!”

“This 20 dollars is called the Huju fee here!”

“I’ll be a good person again.”

“When you go out in the future, remember to bring some change, more than twenty dollars and less than one thousand dollars. Robbery in broad daylight is basically for money and will not kill you.”

“Why can’t you bring a thousand dollars?” Xiao Jingqi asked curiously.

“This?” Chen Anhe showed a playful smile on his face, “You are going to ask police.”

“Thousands of U.S. dollars is considered a large amount of cash here, and police will be considered to be doing drug transactions, and they will directly confiscated them, and you are a foreigner and want to appeal…”

Chen Anhe did not continue to say, but Xiao Liangqi already understood.

It’s just for nothing!

This is indeed the grey income of police here.

Chen Anhe smiled slightly.

After this encounter, this woman may have a new understanding of the beautiful country.

But these are the differences between a beautiful country and its own country?

Chen Anhe opened the mouth and said:

“Let’s go.”

“I remember there is a delicious rotisserie nearby, you can go over and try it.”

“Very authentic American barbecue!”

Xiao Liangqi nodded, stood up stubbornly, patted the dust on her body, and followed Chen Anhe towards the barbecue hall in the park located at the sculpture and ATT Plaza.

When we went to the store, Chen Anhe was familiar with the road.

The meal will be ready soon.

Xiao Jingqi was surprised: “How do I feel that you have been here?”

Chen Anhe smiled lightly:

“I always say that I’ve been here, but you don’t believe it.”

“and……”

“Do you think it is difficult to order food in Beautiful Country?”

“Isn’t it difficult?” Xiao Jingqi took the menu, and she was stunned after only one glance.

There is one dish on the menu.

roasted beef!

Chen Anhe said lightly:

“Don’t compare the domestic situation with a beautiful country.”

“There is no comparison.”

“Here you can eat beef as rice.”

“even……”

“There are still many beautiful people who believe that beef is something poor people eat.”

“This is a country full of material desires.”

Xiao Jingqi was silent.

After a while.

Chen Anhe ordered the barbecue here.

Chen Anhe didn’t pay attention to his image at all, he started directly, and pulled hard, the grease flowed wildly. He took a few French fries, sandwiched them between the beef, and ate them.

Looking at Chen An and this picture of eating, Xiao Jingqi was too late to take it off.

This is completely different from the BBQ she imagined.

Very smokey! ! !
