Chapter 91

In the morning, everyone took a tourist bus from Dali to Lijiang. After a night of renovation, everyone's spirit was adjusted very well.

Luo Wen suggested that everyone sing another song, and everyone chose Yao Xi. Yao Xi was not too polite, and sang an Yunnan folk song embroidered purse, which was very beautiful and won everyone's praise.

Niu Ben clapped and said: I want another one, do you want it?

Everyone said in unison, yes.

So Yao Yu sang another Yunnan folk song, the river flowed water. After listening to it, the driver of the tour bus said, "You Jinhua is singing so well. If there are such a girl here who goes on a blind date with a song, she may ask for help from the police station police to maintain order, otherwise there will be a crowded stampede."

When everyone heard such comments, they forgot to clap their hands and persuaded Yao Hui to stay, recruit a prince consort here, and then take her husband and bring her children back to her hometown in glory.

Yao Ei looked at Niu Ben with a red face. Niu Ben was distracted by Yao Ei's shy expression. If he was sitting next to her, he really wanted to kiss her. This was just Niu Ben's family's idea. Now even if he was holding him beside Yao Ei, he would dare to be so presumptuous in front of everyone.

The car walked a while, and Luo Wen introduced that the next attraction was Xinhua National Tourism Village. She introduced that this Xinhua Village, located at the foot of Fenghuáng Mountain in the northwest of Heqing County, is a Bai village integrating pastoral scenery, houses, folk customs and ethnic handicraft production and processing.

The village is surrounded by mountains and water, and the scenery is particularly beautiful.

There were already many tourist cars parked in the parking lot outside the village, and Niu Ben and his cars found a parking spot in a corner. Luo Wen reminded everyone that if everyone was separated in the village, they would gather here in an hour, get off the bus and rush around the village for more than half an hour.

What Niu Ben and his friends saw was a handicraft workshop village, namely the production and sales place of tourism products.

No matter how the owner of the village introduces its long history, what everyone sees is a small workshop each, with wooden piers, small hand hammers, small chisels and other tools placed in their yards and rooms. With the skillful skills and craftsmanship of the craftsmen, they tap into pieces that look pretty exquisite and beautiful.

There are mainly Kowloon pots, Kowloon cups, bracelets, rings, earrings, necklaces, etc. There are many types, including gold, silver and copper, and the prices range from three to four yuan to thousands of yuan.

The scenery inside the village is quite distinctive, attracting the attention of Niu Ben and some tourists. At this time, Huang Xiaojuan, Liu Yàn and Sun Jie were no longer where to go. Niu Ben was surrounded by Yao Ei, Yao Ei and Luo Wen.

They stood next to a clear water pool in the village. Luo Wen introduced that this water pool is called Heilongtan, which is a scenic spot in the village. There is a sea of ​​grass one kilometer southeast of the village. The waters are wide and the waters are abundant.

Every summer, lotus flowers bloom. During the annual Lotus Festival, many wooden boats rippled among the rivers and grass seas, attracting thousands of people around. People enjoy the scenery of the water town and sing duets of Bai folk songs, which is very lively.

So Luo Wen brought Niu Ben, Yao E and Yao E to the grassy beach, and some tourists gathered here to take photos.

Here in Yunnan, the changes in the year are not as obvious as those in the north. Although it is late spring, the entire sea of ​​grass is lush, vast and spectacular.

Niu Ben stood in front of the grass sea, feeling relaxed and happy. He looked at Yao Yu beside him. Seeing that she and her sister were following him all the time, she was also shocked by the grass sea and water here, and looked at her eagerly.

Yao Yi picked a water chestnut on the grass beach, held it in her hand and played with it repeatedly. After a while, she picked another water chestnut, folded it into a small green petal, and inserted it into her hair. She asked her sister to take a photo of her with her mobile phone. Yao Yi loved to look at her sister, and obediently took out her mobile phone to take a photo of Yao Yi. After taking a photo by herself, she asked Yao Yi to take a photo of her two by her side. Niu Ben also cooperated to get close to Yao Yi. If there was no Luo Wen beside him at this time, he might hug Yao Yi more intimately and let Yao Yi take a photo.

Seeing that Niu Ben and his sister were quite different in size, Yao Yu pointed to a stone beside Yao Yu and said with a smile: My mother, you stand on the stone.

Yao Ma followed Yao Mei's arrangement and stood on the stone. Because the stone was uneven, Yao Ma stood up and shaking. She hugged Niu Ben's arm tightly with her hands, tried to get close to Niu Ben, and asked her sister to take several photos of them.

Yao Ma got off the stone, took her sister's cell phone, and asked her to take a photo with Niu Ben. Yao Ma's face turned slightly red, and she obediently stood on the stone, pressing Niu Ben tightly against Niu Ben like Yao Ma just now, holding one of Niu Ben's arm, leaving behind him, and letting Niu Ben hug her.

At this time, Niu Ben did not care about Luo Wen beside him, and held Yao Mei tightly in his arms, and even faced Yao Mei's intimate cheeks to her. Yao Mei did not miss this warm moment, and quickly pressed the shutter to leave these wonderful moments.

After taking the photo, Niu Ben and Yao E didn't seem to have recovered from the intimate mood just now. Yao E followed Niu Ben tightly, stood by the grass sea, pointing and talking about the tour feeling in his heart at this moment. Yao E also hugged her sister's arm and looked at her sister and Niu Ben affectionately.

Luo Wen stood on the other side of Niu Ben, looking at the expressions of Niu Ben and the two twin sisters, as if she understood something. Looking at them with a very complicated look, she felt mixed feelings in her heart.

Originally, she wanted to spend a while with Niu Ben, but finally got everyone away, but Yao Yu and Yao Yu were still inseparable, making her plan unable to be realized.

Just now when she passed by a villager's house, she pulled Yao E and Yao E into it, showed her identity as a tour guide, and suggested that the boss introduce their products in detail to them. The boss enthusiastically began to explain incessantly according to her arrangements. She took the opportunity to pull Niu Ben out.

Just as I was about to relax and feel complacent, I heard the hurried footsteps behind me, and saw the two of them following me panting.

At this time, Luo Wen had to worry and had no choice but to let them follow.

After Niu Ben's expression when he was taking the photo just now, Luo Wen guessed that the girl Niu Ben said was the short sister beside him.

But what Luo Wen couldn't figure out is why Niu Ben fell in love with her?

Before this, she thought that Liu Yàn and Sun Jie were her biggest opponents, and she was a little strange when Yao Ei saw that she and Niu Ben looked at each other.

Yesterday she also asked about Yao E’s personal situation. Niu Ben’s colleague told her that Yao E was just a contract worker in a company under the bureau. She came to this job because she was a classmate with Liu Yàn, so she did not pay more attention to Yao E.

Based on her life experience, Niu Ben is a veteran, and her understanding of love and marriage should go beyond the age of a boy and a girl. She regards the feelings of two people as the only standard for getting along with each other. So even if these girls are all at the same starting line, Niu Ben should choose the beautiful and lively Liu Yàn or the steady and mature Sun Jie. She should not like Yao E, who has no advantage compared to Liu Yàn and Sun Jie.

Not to mention her background and work, just her figure, standing with Niu Ben, the difference is that no one else needs to say anything.

Even her appearance has no advantage compared to herself.

On the way out, Liu Yàn looked at Niu Ben very tightly and kept paying attention to Niu Ben's every move.

Although Sun Jie was a little more subtle, she was also very concerned about Niu Ben. She followed Niu Ben tightly when she was eating or taking the bus. Just now, in order to get rid of them, she started her own plan from the car. It took her half an hour to finally achieve her goal.

Now Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, which made her puzzled Niu Ben's choice.

Also, looking at this sister Yao Ma, she is also very affectionate towards Niu Ben. His gaze is not much worse than his sister's. What's going on?

Could it be that these two sisters united to charm Niu Ben?

Oh, there is this possibility. If one person has no advantage and two people are together, will there be the power of competition?

Although this was just one of her guesses, just based on her own intuition, there was no evidence, Luo Wen was a very confident woman and believed in her intuition, so she didn't dare to be careless.

From now on, put Yao E and Yao E first in the emotional opponent, and Liu Yàn and Sun Jie were placed second. She comforted herself that she had gained something with Niu Ben, Yao E and Yao E and Yao E to the beach together today. She at least understood the secret of love in Niu Ben's heart and determined a clear direction for her future progress.

When Luo Wen was silently thinking about her own thoughts, time moved forward minute by minute. When she realized that she looked at the watch on her phone, she realized that it had exceeded the agreed time of gathering.

This was a mistake she had never made before. She threw down a car of tourists and did not come in on time.

She hurriedly called Niu Ben and the others and rushed to the parking lot. When she arrived at the car, everyone was sitting in the car, waiting for them anxiously.

Seeing Niu Ben come back, before he could sit down, Liu Yiàn said: Benniu, you have gone there, why can't you see in a blink of an eye?

Niu Ben sat down and said: There is a large paddy field outside the village, and we went there for a walk.

Liu Yàn said: Then you should also take us Ah with you and go out for a trip. You are the captain. You will go to see the scenery alone and leave us alone to wait for you...

Niu Ben listened to Liu Yàn's words not only to pay attention, but also to criticize. This girl was straightforward and did not give her face at all.

However, Huang Xiaojuan heard the smell of gunpowder in Liu Yàn's words, worried that everyone would be guided by these words, and blamed Niu Ben in her heart, which was something she didn't want to.

He pulled Liu Yiàn in time to stop Liu Yiàn from criticizing Niu Ben, and then said to Luo Wen: This village has no characteristics, it is just to buy tourism products for tourists. Is your tour guide here specifically to get more kickbacks?

Luo Wen smiled and said: Section Chief Huang, you have wronged me. I am not with you, and I don’t know what you bought or not. How can you get any kickbacks? In fact, this attraction was specially arranged by the Yunnan Tourism Bureau recently. The purpose is to attract some tourism income for this village. You will understand when you look at the parking at the entrance of the village. If we don’t go here, no car will dare to pull us. Is it a master?

Luo Wen said, asking the driver for help. The driver affirmed Luo Wen's statement, saying that when traveling to Lijiang is a stop that you must pass, and you have to stamp the village before you can go back and hand in the service.

Huang Xiaojuan's purpose of changing the topic was achieved. When she heard Luo Wen and the driver's statement, she showed that she understood and said: So that's it. I don't know the rules here, I blame you for your mistake.

The car was moving quickly, and no one mentioned the kickbacks anymore. In fact, there were still some kickbacks. In order to get rid of everyone, Luo Wen took the initiative to give up this extra money with Niu Ben.

The employees on the car also selected a few favorite handicrafts and took them out to show them one by one for everyone to show them one by one. I won’t go into details here.

It was already past 12 noon when we arrived in Lijiang, and the local local tour guide Jinhua was already waiting in the hotel.

This Jinhua is about 30 years old and has dark skin. Niu Ben no longer wants to comment on her beauty and ugliness.

Seeing that the images of the tour guides here are so disgusting the tourists' appetites, he really wanted to suggest that the managers here should go to Dalian to see the female mount police officers on the streets of Dalian have become the image and brand there. Tourists who come to Dalian and do not take photos with these beautiful police flowers, as if they have never been to Dalian.

In terms of pronunciation, it is also called Jinhua Police Flower. The difference in words is very different in reality, and it cannot be compared at all.

If the bridesmaids on the boat stage yesterday were allowed to be the tour guide here, it might be able to maximize the tourism image here and stimulate tourists' tourism interest to the greatest extent. Isn't it the best reward for the local tourism industry?

Why can’t the managers here think of this level?

Jinhua and Luo Wen called everyone to the hotel to stay, and after a break, they went to the restaurant to have a meal. It was still a full meal of eight dishes and one soup. Everyone was eating. Speaking of the incident of Lijiang being delisted by the World Heritage List, the tour guide Jinhua explained in local Mandarin: This situation is not a disadvantage of Lijiang's family. In fact, everyone goes to see these famous attractions in various places that have cultural heritage. There are situations similar to Lijiang to varying degrees, and they are all crazy and highly commercially developed.

The local people are thinking about how to make money to make a living and make a fortune.

When tourists from other places go to these places, they see a false, solidified, and a scenic spot that can be said to be without substance and without soul.

These attractions have been cleverly packaged, such as the well-known Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven, Summer Palace, Three Rivers and Potala Palace, all have been shown by the world's heritage.

Such an explanation sounds reasonable and evidence-based, and it seems like this, but Niu Ben felt a fallacy from it. It turned out that the tour guides here are so ugly. It was intentional arrangements made by the management department here, which was to let tourists coming here go back to advertise, and to travel less in the future and make the best contribution to the protection of the ancient city here.

It can be seen that the local managers are not stupid, they are actually too smart.

If positive propaganda is used to reduce tourists and protect the ancient city, local democracy will definitely not agree.

And using the method of arranging an ugly tour guide is really a killing of two birds with one stone. It is incalculable. Thinking of this, I am also amused.

Luo Wen saw Niu Ben beside her laughing inexplicably when she saw him having a meal, so she asked him why she laughed.

In order not to let Jinhua at the table hear it, Niu Ben whispered the truth he had just summarized. Luo Wen laughed and sprayed all the food in her mouth on the ground, losing the beauty's reserve and calmness. Huang Xiaojuan smiled so hard that she held her mouth with her hands and looked at Niu Ben straight. Liu Yàn and Sun Jie were so happy that tears flowed out. Yao Yu and Yao Yu both held their stomachs and crawled on the dining table to cough.

Luo Wen pointed at Niu Ben and said: You Ah, you said you are introverted, and you are taciturn. It turns out that you are just a false reputation and are so polite. In the future, she will still count the money for you happily.

Why were the people on the table so happy to see this table today and laughed like this?

Everyone felt confused. Jinhua asked Luo Wen without knowing the situation inside, "What are you laughing at?" I will tell you if you have any good jokes, and have fun together."

Niu Ben said hurriedly, what I just said was a joke that is not suitable for children, so you don’t want to listen.Luo Wen and the others laughed again when they said this sentence, and the people on the table were even more puzzled.

After lunch, Jinhua took everyone to the ancient city of Lijiang. The ancient city of Lijiang has no gate.

At the entrance stands three water trucks, one big and two small. A stream slowly flows into the ancient city. There are some golden carp swimming in the clear stream water. The flowing water pushes the water truck while lifting the stream to the highest point, and then pouring into the river water.

The small bridge and flowing water, and the sheering willows of every household are the scenery that can be seen everywhere in the ancient city.

In order to be compatible with this antique style, the facades of some units have also been decorated with full wood, carved beams and painted buildings, and stone lions lying in front of the door, which is full of ancient style. When you look at it, you seem to have seen the era of N years ago.

The underground stone roads are bumpy, providing strong evidence for tourists' return to tourism.

Niu Ben looked at the scenery here and really wanted to stop and draw a painting. It's a pity that he didn't bring a paintbrush, and he could still grasp the characters carefully. The scenery here is not his strength. Even if he barely draws it, it may not be as beautiful as in reality.

It is impossible to draw, but taking photos here can be used as a picture-like background everywhere. As long as people stand there, there is a perfect landscape painting.

Niu Ben, who has rarely taken the initiative to take photos of himself in recent days, has also posed various poses here and frequently took photos of himself.

Luo Wen took several photos with Niu Ben. Although Niu Ben stood up in a normal manner and did not show an excessive expression, he still made Liu Yàn feel sour and had to take photos of them one by one.

In order to balance her mind, Liu Yàn pulled Niu Ben and took a lot of exaggerated photos. After opening this, Niu Ben seemed to have become a service staff member on the street who took photos with tourists. He also took photos with Sun Jie and the others. Hao Ling also proposed to take photos with Niu Ben for the first time.

When taking photos with Yao E, Yao E was just close to Niu Ben, and did not have too intimate contact. Yao E was different. She hugged Niu Ben's arm and looked at Niu Ben like a lover, leaving many memories for her.

Even Huang Xiaojuan took the initiative to ask for photos with Niu Ben. The two of them leaned tightly and almost touched each other, but because there were too many people, they did not dare to make excessive contact.

When they arrived at the intersection of Sifang Street, Huang Xiaojuan suggested that everyone take a photo, so more than 20 people in the group, including Luo Wen, took a family photo under the command of Jinhua. Niu Ben stood for granted in the middle, with Huang Xiaojuan on the left and Luo Wen on the right. Yao Yu's Yao is small, standing in front of Niu Ben, tightly next to Niu Ben.

After taking a group photo, the following is a free combination between individuals and take a group photo.

One of them was Niu Ben standing in the middle, Huang Xiaojuan and Liu Yàn standing on both sides, Yao Yu and Yao Ma were still standing in front, with Sun Jie and Luo Wen on both sides, and seven people took a photo, which left Niu Ben the family portrait of the only woman who had dated him.

This makes him often recall this moment today in life in the future. This is a later story, so I won’t mention it for now.

When you enter Sifang Street, walk on the ancient street made of colorful stones, you will see the gurgling water of the canal, and willows on the riverside are weeping, and the houses of the city are built in front of the door, or there are streams behind the houses. There are countless trickles of streams on the streets and alleys, winding through the walls and winding around the doors.

Sifang Street has now been commercialized, and the roadsides sell everything, mostly tourism products, and there are daily necessities.

Luo Wen quietly reminded Niu Ben that you must pay attention to buying things at tourist spots here. Many of the silver jewelry inside are fake. Some stores will tell you that it is not sterling silver, and some will lie to you that it is sterling silver. The price is very cheap, but it is actually brass silver-plated.

When buying silver later, you should pay attention to identification first. Real pure silver is very soft and will deform with some force. If it is made of copper, it will be hard and will not deform.

Jinhua walked in front, introducing the characteristics of the Naxi house next to her.

Most of the houses in Naxi are civil structures, and the more common forms are as follows: three yards and one screen wall, four yards and five patios, front and back yards, two courtyards, etc.

One of the most prominent features among Naxi folk houses is that no matter urban and rural areas, there are large houses in front of every house (i.e., external corridor).

Xiazi is one of the most important components of the Naxi national residence in Lijiang, which is inseparable from the pleasant climate of Lijiang.

Therefore, the Naxi people moved some of the functions of the rooms such as eating and meeting guests to Xiazi.

Niu Ben did not really understand the three squares, one screen wall, four-way five-yard, etc., but after being frightened by the ears and eyes, he had a general understanding of the Naxi people, and Niu Ben also had a lot of feelings.

The Naxi people have long implemented a matrilineal system. As parents, women naturally mean a lot of responsibilities, so they bear most of the labor in the family in the fields.

The main task of men is to eat, drink, have fun, hunt, sing a song, and study some Dongba Jing and Naxi ancient music. This is also a very common landscape. The hard work is overwhelming and unknown, and the idle but infinite scenery.

In a shop with cloth advertising curtains hanging, a sister-in-law in a green jacket and white dress was sitting in front of a wooden handmade cloth loom, performing a quick and neat weaving performance.

Niu Ben stopped and looked with relish. The store was not too big. There were so many people coming in at once, and the owner enthusiastically introduced it.

Niu Ben touched the texture of the cloth, and the thick feel was a bit astringent.

The owner introduced that the cloth in the store was woven by themselves, with good quality and a wide variety of colors. It can be hung on the walls of the home as decorations, or made into various special clothing, and can also be made into curtains, pillowcases, slippers and other items, which are beautiful and realistic.

Liu Yàn asked Niu Ben, what are you looking at here? Do you want to buy it?

Niu Ben smiled and said, "I want to buy some and go back to make a dowry for you."

Liu Yàn was both happy and angry when he heard this. He wanted to push Niu Ben, but Niu Ben flashed out with a smile.
