From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Mu Mansion

"Brother Su, where are you planning on going today? Need me to whip up a quick guide for you?"

Su Chen had just come downstairs when he ran into Boss Yu watering plants in the courtyard.

"I was just wondering where to go today. A guide from you, Boss Yu... that would save me a lot of trouble!"

Hearing this, Boss Yu immediately put down his watering can and led Su Chen to the common lounge area.

Boss Yu produced a water bottle from somewhere, the kind people used back in their school days.

"Here, try my homemade milk tea. I’m not sure if it’s to your liking!"

It was a large, full cup, still steaming.

He blew on it gently and took a small sip. The aroma of tea and milk filled his mouth, compelling him to take a few more gulps.

"Boss Yu, this milk tea is amazing! You must have put a lot of effort into this!"

Boss Yu chuckled at his words. "Brother Su, to be honest... it really didn’t take much effort. The ingredients are all local to Lijiang, but I go to the source to pick them up myself!"

Su Chen understood. Yunnan Province was a major tea-producing province, and many famous teas originated from there.

"I wonder if you have any extra, Boss Yu. Think you could spare some for me before I leave?"

"Hahaha! That’s a small thing. All that matters is that you have a good time in Lijiang, Brother Su!" Boss Yu beamed.

After all, it was a happy thing to have his homemade milk tea be so well-liked.

During their chat, an inn employee brought out several of Lijiang’s specialty breakfast dishes. Paired with the milk tea... it was simply delicious.

Once they had both nearly finished eating, Boss Yu got down to business. "Brother Su, are you just planning to wander around the ancient town, or do you want to head toward Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?"

"Is there some distinction between them?" Su Chen asked, looking at Boss Yu with some confusion.

"It’s not a huge deal, but if you go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it’s not just about climbing the mountain. There are several other worthwhile spots nearby, and they’re all conveniently on the same route. You can spend a day and hit them all!"

"If you’re just going to explore Lijiang Ancient Town, I strongly suggest you check out Mu Mansion. It’s considered Lijiang’s version of the Forbidden City and is a must-see for understanding Naxi Culture!"

’Mountain climbing...’ Su Chen wasn’t very interested. ’It feels like paying for misery, and I’d have to worry about altitude sickness and all that. I’m not looking to make myself suffer.’

’Vacations are for having fun, not torturing yourself.’

’I can skip the mountain, but those other spots Boss Yu mentioned are worth a look.’

Su Chen asked for more details. Places like Baisha Ancient Town, the Lijiang Romance Park, and Lugu Lake were all worth visiting.

The two chatted for a while longer, and Boss Yu laid out a rough itinerary for him.

The first stop was Mu Mansion. It was, after all, located right inside Lijiang Ancient Town, making it the closest attraction to where Su Chen was.

The second stop would be the Lijiang Romance Park. You pretty much had to stay until evening to see everything it had to offer.

In the afternoon, the park featured various performances, and at night, you could even join in on a specialty of Yunnan Province—the Datiao folk dance!

After leaving the inn, Su Chen headed straight for Mu Mansion.

The inn wasn’t far from Mu Mansion; he could even see it from his bedroom. But as Su Chen started walking toward it, he finally understood the old saying: "A mountain in sight can run a horse to death."

After walking for almost half an hour, Su Chen finally arrived at Mu Mansion.

Lijiang Ancient Town by day was a completely different scene.

There was hardly anyone around!!!
