The arrogance of the city

Chapter 555
Kyoto, the capital of the last five feudal dynasties, is also the center of the current regime. This city with a history of more than 3000 years has an irreplaceable important position in the Dragon Kingdom. If a country is compared to a person, there is no doubt that it is its heart.

Li Futu walked out of the airport and took a taxi, instead of rushing to book a hotel, he let the driver wander around.

After ten years, he wanted to see the city again.

"Young man, are you here to visit Kyoto?"

The taxi driver was a middle-aged man who drove a taxi to pick up and drop off every day. He had developed a very cheerful personality, and he could make a few sentences with everyone. He made this guess because of Li Futu's special request.

Li Futu looked at the city outside the car window and said with a soft smile, "I lived here when I was young, but I haven't been back for many years, so I want to look around."

"Are you from Kyoto too?"

The driver was a little surprised, and then his tone became more enthusiastic. When waiting for the red light, he even handed Li Futu a cigarette.

As a taxi driver living at the grassroots level, he naturally couldn't smoke any good cigarettes, but Li Futu took it politely, thanked him politely, and lit the cigarette immediately.

"In the past few years, Kyoto has developed too fast. Districts like Chengxuan Wenhua have been merged and revoked. Not to mention these things, look at this Fengwu Road. How could there be so many high-rise buildings before?"

The driver master smoked a cigarette and said with emotion: "This building is built one by one, but the house price is also rising with the tide, and the people who are under pressure are almost out of breath. If the previous generation hadn't left me a nest , just counting on renting out, I’m afraid I won’t be able to afford a house here for the rest of my life. But just like this, there are countless young people who are desperately trying to get here, even if they live in a dark basement. I really don’t understand how young people nowadays What do people think, chasing dreams? There are no dreams to be found in this Forty-Nine City."

Li Futu acted as a competent listener, listening to the chatter of the driver, silently smoking a cigarette, and remained silent.

Taxi shuttles aimlessly in the streets and alleys, carrying a returning old friend to re-appreciate the customs and customs of the city.

"Young man, if you don't mind traffic jams, why don't we go for a walk on Chang'an Avenue? Hey, there might be some famous people who can only be seen on the news there."

In Kyoto, even in Longguo, Chang’an Avenue is the well-deserved No. [-] avenue. As the east-west axis of Kyoto, Chang’an Avenue from Jianguomen in the east to Fuxingmen in the west is synonymous with Longguo’s politics and an international VIP. An important road that will be passed through when visiting Beijing.

"Just listen to the master."

Li Futu nodded amiably.

Kyoto, as one of the largest cities in the Dragon Kingdom, has a large population, and its road planning is extremely complicated, so the traffic conditions have always been unsatisfactory. When the taxi drove onto Chang'an Avenue, it was already close to the end of get off work time.

Ten miles of Chang'an Street is full of traffic, and all kinds of luxury cars can be seen here. On both sides of the street, there are important institutions such as the Great Hall and the Ministry of Commerce.

"Hey, did you see that no matter how awesome the car is, it will behave honestly on this street. Although we only drive a taxi, on this street, we are not afraid to meet a Bentley. Here, does he dare to grab the road casually? He dare not."

The driver master smiled proudly.

But on this First Avenue, is everyone really equal as he said?
From the east, a convoy drove over. Two cars cleared the road in front, and there were cars following closely behind. The one that seemed to be guarded in the middle was not a luxury car, but a red flag. It was just a few years ago This car has been discontinued before.

The speed of the convoy was neither too fast nor too slow, and they abided by the regulations. They drove forward steadily on Chang'an Avenue, but wherever they passed, no matter whether they were Porsches, Ferraris or Maybachs, they all avoided to both sides to make way for the convoy.

An unimpeded passage suddenly appeared on the crowded Chang'an Avenue!

This spectacular sight naturally attracted the attention of the whole street, including Li Futu.

"See, the license plate of that Hongqi car."

The driver looked at the oncoming convoy with undisguised awe in his eyes.

Li Futu also looked at the silent but amazing convoy.

In the center of the Kyoto regime, almost everyone understands that the value of the vehicle itself does not mean much here. In Kyoto, the status of the car owner is measured by the license plate.

The license plate on the Hongqi car showed white characters on a red background.

Jing A starts.

This kind of license plate comes from the General Staff!

The convoy passed by smoothly, and then gradually moved away, and the traffic on Chang'an Avenue returned to normal.

"I'm right, here, you often meet some real big shots, but you don't know which big shot is the person sitting in that red flag."

The driver looked back in the direction where the convoy disappeared, and waited for the sound of a urging horn from behind to look back.

Li Futu didn't answer, and said with a light smile, "Master, send me to No. [-] Middle School."

When I arrived at the No. 300 Middle School, the meter showed that it cost more than [-] yuan, and the driver master generously threw away the change.

Li Futu was also polite, thanked him, checked out and got off the car, and came to the place where he used to study.

Although the city has changed a lot, the school is still there.

Li Futu was going to go in to have a look, but in the end he was stopped by the security guard at the door. For the safety of the students, the school naturally wouldn't let strangers in, even if Li Futu didn't look like a bad guy.

Li Futu didn't make things difficult for the security guards, he looked into the school through the school gate, smiled, then turned and left.

He remembered that Song Luoshen once said that the small restaurant next to the school was not closed. He went to check it out and found that Song Luoshen was indeed not lying. It has been upgraded a bit, and the store area is much larger.

"Is it for dinner? How many people?"

When Li Futu approached the restaurant, a waiter greeted him.

It's past six o'clock in the afternoon, and the restaurant's business is still booming just like it was ten years ago.

"one person."

Li Futu said softly.

His response stunned the waiter. It seemed that he seldom met a person for dinner, but he didn't say much, and led Li Futu to a table for four, "Here is the menu, please take a look first." , call me after ordering."

After saying that, the waiter was about to leave. The business in the store was very good, and he had to entertain other customers.

Li Futu didn't look at the menu, and said, "The boss here shouldn't have changed, right?"

The waiter turned around, and although he was a little puzzled why the other party would ask such a question, he still nodded: "Our boss has been here for more than ten years."

"A piece of meat with bamboo shoots, and a plate of fried fungus with mushrooms, thank you."

Li Futu returned the menu to the waiter without even looking at it.
