"Okay, let's set off." Gu Zhanpeng held Lin Xin's hand and followed Jiang Wan.
"No, I haven't gotten to know Jiang Wan yet. What if something goes wrong?"
"Wait for me, I'll go with you."
Lin Qiu picked up the umbrella he had prepared in advance, closed the door, and ran forward to catch up with them.
The first place they went to was the old alley.
Jiang Wan didn't explain much about this place, she just stretched out her hand and gestured that this was an old alley.
"What is the old alley? Does it have any history and culture?"
Gu Zhanpeng asked curiously as he looked at the tall and majestic building in front of him.
Jiang Wan was seen hesitating, her eyes darting around.
Seeing her like that, Lin Qiu must have been unable to answer.
"Hutong", these two words are originally the transliteration of Mongolian. Hutong here originated in the Yuan Dynasty.
Hutongs are widely spaced, and in most of Yuan Dynasty, there are basically three courtyards.
Gu Zhanpeng probably understood what Lin Qiu said and nodded slightly.
They walked around the alley a few more times, and Jiang Wan led them to the next attraction.
Next is the Yinding Bridge in Shichahai, which is a niche attraction.
Jiang Wan didn't seem to be familiar with it either.
I just said it was a bridge and what its name was.
Lin Qiu was very helpless. What kind of tour guide were they hiring? If Wei Dian was here, there would definitely be no awkward situation.
However, after all, this is the travel agency's business, and Lin Qiu cannot just watch it fail in his own hands.
Then he stepped forward and said, "This bridge is a single-hole stone arch bridge running north to south. It spans the thin neck connecting the two seas. It is 12 meters long, 7 meters wide, 8 meters high, and 5 meters in span. It has hollow clouds. There are 5 flower railings and 6 emerald vase scroll flower viewing pillars. It is called the Silver Ingot Bridge because it looks like a silver ingot. It is one of the scenery of Shichahai.
…
After receiving the couple, Lin Qiu dismissed Jiang Wan as soon as he returned.
If Wei Dian was given a perfect score, the female tour guide only had thirty points.
There was no explanation throughout the whole process, just a brief introduction of the name of the place.
It seemed that Lin Qiu had to recruit a tour guide himself.
Except for sleeping and class time, Lin Qiu spent the past few days at the travel agency.
On this day, a pair of brothers came. They both wanted to try to be tour guides. Their parents died early, and the two brothers had been dependent on each other since they were young. They had not found a job for a long time.
When they passed by a travel agency, they saw a sign on the door recruiting two tour guides. The brothers were delighted.
"Excuse me, are you still recruiting people?" asked the elder brother. The younger brother kept staring at Lin Qiu with a very sincere look.
"Here we go, let's fill in the basic information first."
Lin Qiu took out a piece of paper and pen and asked the brothers to write.
"Their names are Lin Dong and Lin Xi, right?" Lin Qiu checked the names of the two brothers.
"Yes, my brother's name is Lin Dong, and my name is Lin Xi." The younger brother said with a smile.
"Okay, let me ask a few simple questions next."
"Do you know anything about Kyoto?"
"I understand, we grew up here since childhood." The younger brother smiled.
"If I asked you to introduce the old alley, how would you introduce it?"
"It originated in the Yuan Dynasty..." Lin Dong said for a long time.
Lin Qiu was very satisfied with his performance.
Then he turned to Lin Xi and asked, "Do you know the history of Prince Gong's Mansion?"
"Understood! Prince Gong's Mansion was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It was originally the private residence of the great scholar He Shen..."
Lin Qiu asked a few more questions, and both brothers answered fluently.
Lin Qiu smiled, this is what a tour guide should be like.
Finally finishing the tour guide matter, Lin Qiu returned to the dormitory.
"Lin Qiu. Why are you back now? You've been out early and come back late these days. You have an exam tomorrow?"
The roommate who was reviewing saw Lin Qiu coming back and reminded him that he would have the exam tomorrow.
"What? Tomorrow! How come I don't know until now."
Lin Qiu looked confused.
"No way, I told you a few days ago, and you told me that you would study hard."
"Oops!" Lin Qiu patted his head.
"I've been busy with the travel agency lately."
"Hurry up and review, Lin Qiu."
After the roommate finished speaking, he turned around and continued reviewing.
A few days later, the results came out. Unfortunately, Lin Qiu failed the midterm exam.
This news was like a violent storm, punching Lin Qiu hard.
He found a time to go to the travel agency, and Wei Dadian was present.
Lin Qiu told him about the two new tour guides and showed him their basic information before returning to school to study.
He told himself in his heart that he could not do this again in the final exam!
At the travel agency, Wei Dandian stays in the shop every day.
In addition to him, Lin Dong and Lin Xi also stay in the store every day.
On this day, a customer came to the store and she wanted to visit Prince Gong's Mansion.
But because I have no culture and don’t understand history, I wanted to ask a tour guide to explain it to me.
At first, Lin Dong and Lin Xi were very enthusiastic. It can be seen that they both wanted to take this order.
But it's impossible for both of them to go. Everyone is busy, and Hall Wei needs to look after the store. If they both leave, who will receive the next customer?
Therefore, Wei Dian gave the opportunity to this guest and asked her to choose who would be her tour guide?
"Then let's take this gentleman." She pointed at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi clapped her hands happily.
Lin Dong left angrily because he didn't get any customers.
After receiving several waves of guests, more and more people came to the travel agency.
It's okay to say that two guests came, one for each of them.
But when there is only one customer, Lin Xi usually takes it away.
Over time, there was a gap between Lin Dong and Lin Xi.
On this day, there was also only one guest, but this time, Lin Dong did not give in.
"Although you are my younger brother and I need to let you go, there is no need for you to compete with me every time! This makes me feel useless!"
Lin Dong yelled at Lin Xi angrily.
"No, brother, I just want to lighten your burden."
Lin Xi looked at his brother aggrievedly.
But Lin Dong didn't care about this, he thought Lin Xi was trying to get the limelight for himself.
Wei Dandian clearly felt that the two brothers, who used to chatter a lot, were now like enemies and had almost nothing to say throughout the day.
After what Lin Dong said, Lin Xi stopped actively receiving guests every day. When the guests came, neither of them paid attention to the other.
When Wei Dian saw this, there was nothing he could do, but it was difficult for him to interfere in the brothers' family affairs.
He knew that Lin Qiu was studying hard recently, so he didn't want to disturb others.
Time flies, and the day of salary is coming soon.
Lin Qiu did not come to the travel agency, but dragged Le Fang to bring their wages.
Both Lin Xi and Lin Dong received wages, but the difference was that because Lin Xi received more guests, his wages were also higher.
His salary is nearly twice that of Lin Dong.
When the travel agency had no customers, Lin Xi took out his salary and walked up to Lin Dong.
"Brother, you have worked hard these years!"
Then he handed the salary to Lin Dong.
Lin Dong froze on the spot and did not reach out.
When Lin Xi saw Lin Dong was not moving, she picked up his hand, put the money in his hand and ran away.
All this was seen by Wei Dian on the side.
He suddenly understood the reason why Lin Xi had been receiving guests.
He wanted to make it easy for his brother.
After Lin Xi left, Lin Dong still stayed where he was.
"It turns out I wrongly blamed him..."
Wei Dadian seemed to see Lin Dong raise his hand and touch his face.
When they came to the travel agency the next day, the two brothers were laughing and joking as before. It seemed that the conflict had been resolved.
All work is progressing in an orderly manner.
