Chapter 142 Illusion 6
After the exam, Lu Si continued his crazy English mode.

Her English level has improved by leaps and bounds, and her grades in other subjects have not dropped, and she is at an upper-middle level in every exam.

Three months later, Lu Si was able to read the latest English newspapers relatively fluently without having to look up the dictionary frequently.

She decided to take a practical test to see if her English level could meet the needs of being a tour guide.

This Sunday, Lu Si got up early in the morning and took a bus to Jieshan, a tourist area in the city.

The car arrived at the foot of the mountain, and she quickly found the ticket gate and the entrance to the mountain.

Maybe she came too early, there were no tourists at the entrance, and the ticket office didn't even start working...

After thinking about it, Lu came to the parking lot and took out a brochure to review.

This is a brochure of Jieshan Scenic Area borrowed from the Municipal Library. It introduces the scenery of the mountain in both English and Chinese. It can be called a standard textbook for Jieshan tour guides.

It is precisely because of finding this textbook that Lu Si has the courage to act as a tour guide for others without ever climbing Mount Jie.

A tour bus came by.

Lu Si hurriedly put the brochure into his schoolbag, and held up a prepared sign to attract customers, with the words "Tour guide, 50 yuan" written on it.

Yes, she only wanted to earn so much.

If you take one order in the morning and one in the afternoon, you can earn 100 yuan.

Then, it would be [-] a month, enough for my own living expenses.

The bus stopped, and tourists filed down one by one.

Seeing their faces, Lu Si was disappointed, they were all Chinese.Hua people can understand all kinds of text introductions by themselves, and obviously do not need any guides.

Moreover, the people in this car seemed to be traveling in a group, and they had a tour guide leading the group.

Despite the disappointment, Lu Si did not give up and still held up the sign.

What if a miracle happens.

Since Lu Si was standing near the place where she got off the bus, many tourists saw her.

But they just regarded this beautiful little girl as part of the scenery to appreciate, and no one came forward to ask.

This car of people went up the mountain with the guide, and Lu Si took out the brochure to read again, and she wanted to memorize the content as much as possible.

Next, car after car of tourists arrived, most of them were Chinese, and there were very few foreigners.

If there is, it is often in a group and requires the service of a separate guide.

Lu Si was very disappointed. She felt that making money was so difficult, and she almost doubted whether her idea was a mistake.

Suddenly, a bus stopped under the stop sign.Passengers got off the car sparsely and dispersed, including Chinese and foreigners.

Lu Si's eyes lit up, this is exactly the individual visitor he needs!

Not every tourist travels in a group!There are also people who like to act alone.

She quickly corrected her posture, smiled, and greeted the guests with the best posture.

Perhaps her good image played a role. A foreigner with a backpack came up to her and asked in English:

"can you speak English?"

Lu Si quickly replied in English, "Yes, sir, my English is good enough to meet your needs as a tour guide."

"Great, I'm wondering how to find a tour guide."

The foreigner was so forthright that he didn't even confirm the price with Lu Si.

Lu Si was ecstatic in his heart, his one-eyed vision was about to be completed.

As a tour guide for the first time, she was a little nervous and pricked up her ears, ready to listen to the needs of the guests at all times.

"What's your name?" The foreigner suddenly asked.

"My name is Lu Si."

"Lucy? That's a good name." The foreigner obviously didn't hear clearly.

But Lu Si didn't intend to correct it. Lucy is just Lucy, anyway, it's just a code name.

"Sir, what should I call you?"

"My friends call me Alec."

"May I call you Alec?"

"of course can."

Lu Si guided him to the ticket office, "Alec, let's go buy tickets. Since I am your tour guide, you need to pay the fare for both you and me. Is there a problem?"

"No problem." Alec understood very well.

"Lucy, you are too young, are you a part-time college student?" Alec asked suddenly.

"No, I'm a high school student who came out to work part-time."

"Oh, my god! My daughter is also a high school student, but she only watches TV at home on weekends."

The two chatted.Perhaps because of Lu Si's good image, Alec is very talkative, talking non-stop.

Lu Si responded intermittently, so it was time to practice listening.

She found that her hard study during this period was quite effective, and there were basically no obstacles in communicating with foreigners.

Alec is an engineer stationed in China by a multinational company. He likes to travel around when he has nothing to do.When Lu Si was explaining the scenery, he would compare the scenery of other places with Jieshan from time to time, which made Lu Si, who had never seen anything in the world, look embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.

She vowed to work hard to make money and visit various places so as not to look like a country bumpkin.

The half-day journey came to an end in no time.

The two went down the mountain.

Alec expressed satisfaction with the trip.

"Thank you, Lucy. Your explanation is great, and it made me understand many allusions of Huaguo. How much should I give you?"

"50 yuan, thank you."

"Oh, it's so cheap!"

Alec took out his wallet and pulled out a red note, "You don't need to look for it, just use the rest as a tip."

What else can Lu Si say, I can only express my thanks again.

"The snacks in Huaguo are unique. Everywhere I go, I have to eat all the local delicacies. But I don't know their names, and I don't know their origins. Lucy, can you accompany me to the local Is it the food street? I will give you the same reward as in the morning, and you will have a share of everything you eat. You just need to tell me their names and origins."

Lu Si couldn't help but feel troubled. She also visited the local food street once on the weekend.But she doesn't know how to translate those snacks.And their origins, not to mention unclear!
Thinking about it, she can only honestly confess:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Alec. I don't know much about those delicacies. I'm afraid I can't tell their origins."

Alec was a little disappointed, but still invited:

"Lucy, I appreciate your frankness. It doesn't matter, you are from Huaguo, so you know more than me. Just tell me what you know."

What else could Lu Si say, he could only agree.

So, the two took a bus to the city's food street.

Lu Si walked around with Alec and ate all the delicacies in the street, but he couldn't tell the origin of several delicacies. It was almost purely for fun.

But Alec was very satisfied, and gave a hundred-dollar bill again.
