Chapter 178 The Uighur Old Town

 "I've been a little busy lately and I'm sorry for the poor reception."

Chen Xing ate some fresh fruit that was a little too sweet and said, "Isn't this a poor reception? To be honest, this is the first time I've been to someone else's house and had so many good things to eat."

He rarely visits friends' homes alone, and even when he does, he usually goes out to eat.

After all, there are no chefs in his circle of friends, so it would be strange for a group of young men in their twenties to know how to cook.

So this is the first time I have experienced such a rich reception.

After hearing what Chen Xing said, Kony said:

"If you came to see me a month ago, I would have roasted the head of sheep for you. And don't look at my mother like that. If I were not here, she would be more enthusiastic than me. She is just worried that you will not feel comfortable with it."

"You are so enthusiastic, thank you!"

"Is there anything I can thank you for, hehe." He stood up from the opposite side and sat next to Chen Xing, saying: "My best man group is still short of a show-stopper. You said that with your looks, if you stand in front of others, then

How many bridesmaids on the opposite side have to be compared."

"Ah? Am I the best man? I've never been."

By the way, doesn’t the best man have to find a girlfriend? Although his relationship with Kony is good, it’s not like he will be dragged into being the best man.

"Isn't that better!"

Koni said with a smile: "We have a saying here that after being a best man, you will definitely find true love in a short time, and it is especially effective for first-time groomsmen, really."

"Feudal superstition, right?"

"Would you know if you try it? It's very fun."

Chen Xing was a little hesitant. He saw many weddings on the Internet where the best man and bridesmaid were cheated, so being the best man was not serious in itself, but it would be bad if he was cheated.

With his temper, he would probably just walk away.

But Kony will probably be embarrassed by then.

Seeing Chen Xing start to hesitate, Kony persuaded him several times.

Chen Xing asked: "You don't have any activities to harass people here, right?"

Only then did Koni know why Chen Xing hesitated, and quickly said: "Are you talking about those vulgar marriage troubles? We in Xijiang have never had such things like asking for a child. I have also seen it on the Internet. In your Sichuan Province

Is there any?"

"There is no such thing in Sichuan Province."

People in Sichuan Province have always been very traditional, and in the past few decades, society has been promoting the hotness of Sichuan girls, which has led to the fact that girls in Sichuan Province are now generally more spicy.

Dare you mess with the bridesmaid?

Do you believe that the bridesmaid dares to scratch everyone’s face?

Kony suddenly sighed and said:

"Don't think of us as a remote area. Although the overall development here is definitely not as good as the first-tier cities in the mainland, such as your Chengdu, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the thinking of our people here is much better than that of you mainlanders.

Everything is open, and there are no longer those bad customs."

"That's not what I meant. After all, I don't know what the marriage process is like in every place."

"It's very simple. We all go to my wife's place to pick up the bride, then stay one night and pick her up the next day. And don't worry, you are not the only best man, there are more than a dozen of us."

"A dozen!!!"

Chen Xing was shocked.

Sure enough, it is different from the customs in Sichuan Province. In the New Territories, there is usually only one best man and one bridesmaid. Some people get more married, but that is because everyone is a good friend, so it is not easy to choose one person alone.

In this way, one or two more groomsmen or bridesmaids will be selected, and then the other party will also add one more.

As for more than a dozen, this is the first time Chen Xing has heard of them.

And according to Chinese tradition, good things come in pairs, so wouldn’t there be more than a dozen bridesmaids?

Good guys, you can play a football game now.

But speaking of it this way, Chen Xing has nothing to worry about. What do he have to worry about with more than a dozen people? If anything happens, it must be those Koni guys who take the blame first. Chen Xing feels that he is also going to make a fool of himself.

"That's OK."

"Haha, great. I saw a video of you receiving an award abroad. You look great in a suit. We will wear it then."

Kony pulled Chen Xing up and hugged him. Chen Xing always felt inexplicable. How could he be so excited just to be a best man? What’s the use of his good looks? It’s impossible for both bridesmaids and best men to want him.

Let’s compete to see who’s good-looking?

Although he was a little confused, Chen Xing's curiosity also increased.

This wedding will definitely be interesting.

At least it was more interesting than the weddings Chen Xing attended in the New Territories.

Kony was eating with Chen Xing and chatting about their local affairs. When Chen Xing had almost finished eating, Kony said: "I will take you around for a walk in the afternoon."

"I can just go shopping by myself, you can do your business."

Chen Xing saw that he was still building a new house, so he probably didn't have much time to accompany him around this small county.

Getting married is a big event, but don’t delay it by worrying about your own problems.

"Then don't go too far. Our city is a bit winding, and I'm afraid you'll get lost by then."

Chen Xing shook his phone and said: "Full battery, full signal, haha."

He just happened to charge the battery when he was eating, and Chen Xing couldn't get lost if he could open the map. At most, he didn't know the small roads in the city, and he might take a detour on the way back.

After traveling to so many places in the past two years, Chen Xing is now very good at reading maps.

"That's no problem. My mother will prepare delicious food. Remember to come back for dinner when the time comes."

Chen Xing made an OK gesture, took his cell phone camera, took out the drone from the suitcase, put his notebook in, and was fully armed, ready to go out.

When you encounter beautiful scenery, you use a camera to take pictures. When you encounter difficult-to-photograph scenes, you also use a drone.

If I’m not allowed to fly at night, then it’s okay if I fly during the day, right?

After going downstairs, Chen Xing walked out of the community along the road.

This community is built next to a road in the city. There is a square the size of a basketball court when you walk out, and then you reach the curb. The road is very wide, with four lanes in both directions, plus a very wide non-motorized lane.
There are not many shops around, otherwise Chen Xing would have just bought something and gone upstairs.

I'll take something with me when I go back later.

The road you came from is on the left, and you will reach the suburbs not far away, so if you want to go to a more prosperous part of the city, you should go to the right.

Click on the navigation and take a look.

Indeed, their current location is actually on the edge of the county seat, but judging from the map, it is surrounded by houses like this, and the infrastructure is gradually catching up. There is even a project sign on the opposite side of the community, saying that a street center is to be built.

Garden.

County Chen Xing looked ahead and put away his phone.

As long as you know the general direction, there is no need to look at your phone all the time. Just follow the navigation when you come back.

Chen Xing clipped the action camera and clicked on recording in the system.

The recording of the system is much more stable than that of an action camera. When you take it out of the mailbox, it feels like it is pushed by the device. Whether you are turning or walking, it is smooth and the pixels are clearer.

Street photography has begun.

Although Chen Xing has been developing towards a well-known photographer, this does not affect his ability to be a little granny on station B.

He has not joined any guild and only relies on the traffic provided by the website. Now he has more than 700,000 fans and his coins have even reached 170,000. Chen Xing doesn’t know how he can use up all his coins.

However, the coins of the up owner can be exchanged for money.

According to the rules of station b, if 100 coins are exchanged for one dollar, Chen Xing has one thousand seven.

A little less.

So Chen Xing only changed it once before, and then he ignored it.

Walking along this street for more than two hundred meters, you can see some shops opened under the surrounding houses. Chen Xing found that there were quite a few hardware stores. He didn't know if these were newly built buildings or hardware stores.

The most profitable reason.

The county government building is also here.

This street is quite long. Judging from its size, it should be the main road of the county. Chen Xing walked all the way to a bridge.

After crossing the bridge, the street on the opposite side seems to be not as wide as this side. As the width shrinks, it turns to the right with a slight slope, and the houses there are not as planned as here.

Old Town!

Chen Xing suddenly thought of this concept.

Regardless of whether it is an urban area, a county, or a small town, if it is not a town built entirely by relocated people, it will have its own old city.

Generally speaking, the old town represents the traditional culture of the city, and some unique or inherited delicacies can be found in such old towns.

For example, there is a gouache in the New Territories that is particularly delicious. It is not available on any delivery app, so if you want to eat it, you can only walk over and eat it.

The boss is an old man, he doesn’t have a WeChat payment code, and he only accepts cash.

There should be some in here too?

Chen Xing walked over immediately without even thinking about it.

In fact, the road here is also well built, but it is not as flat as before. The houses on both sides are not as planned as those in the previous places, but they are full of design and are beautiful.

The road keeps winding upward.

It is as if this urban area was originally built on a hillside. It is just that this slope is not as steep as those in Sichuan Province. It is smoother and suitable for building a city.

But now that the city wants to expand, it is obviously not possible to stay on the hillside, so the local government is working so hard to develop new cities outside.

Chen Xing took a lot of photos here.

These houses are all so beautiful, with different colors and different decoration styles.

It seems like in the countryside, everyone cultivates their own things.

But this is obviously not a rural area, and there is no land around for them to plant. The area of ​​​​the houses is fixed. The local people renovated their houses with their own ideas when the area could not be increased.

Chen Xing doesn’t even want to call this place a city.

Look carefully, it's like a fairy tale world.

There are blue houses and pink houses. Some families eat late, and you can still see some smoke floating above the houses.

The sunshine at noon is very warm at this moment. It is a rare warm sunshine in winter. Many children living nearby ran out to play. The sun shone slantly on the street through the tall poplar trees, making those spots speckled.

The leaves are glowing with golden light.

This picture is particularly beautiful.

Chen Xing quickly took a few photos. Although it is difficult to sell such photos on the website, making a video will definitely get a lot of likes.

There were also parents taking their children out on the road, holding their children by the hands and talking in Uyghur while walking. After noticing that Chen Xing was looking at them, they would also smile and nod at Chen Xing, which was very friendly.

The whole scene is integrated into a picture of Uyghur life, so real.

Chen Xing saw an open door on the road. Chen Xing was curious about what the homes of the Uighurs living here looked like, so he looked outside the door and looked inside.

There are many flowers and grape trellises.

Inside the door is a courtyard, which is lush in March, with many green plants and many flowers leaning against the corner. An aunt is watering the flowers with a showerhead.

What does the left side look like?

Chen Xing was a little curious, so he got closer. Unexpectedly, someone spoke as soon as he reached the door.

"Who are you?"

Chen Xing looked over.

There was a small pavilion on the left hand side of the entrance, blocked by green plants from the sunlight. There was an object that looked like a bed and a table. A little girl who looked about thirteen years old was looking at him curiously.
Hearing the girl's words, the aunt who was watering the water also turned around.

She is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, a very typical Uighur woman.

"Hello." She said hello politely first, and then said: "What can I do for you?"

The voice he spoke was very soft, the rising tone of Mandarin spoken by Uighurs. Logically speaking, Chen Xing should have gotten used to it after being here for two days, but now that he heard it, he still felt a little guilty.

She won't call the police to arrest me for breaking into a house, right?

He just entered the police station yesterday, and he didn't want to go in a second time.

So he quickly explained: "I am a tourist. When I was taking pictures on the street, I saw that your yard is very beautiful. I walked over without knowing it. Please don't mind."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Hahaha, I don't mind, I don't mind." Auntie smiled boldly and said: "Come in, I will introduce you to these flowers. Do you know them all?"

Chen Xing just walked through the door and didn't go too far in. He said, "I know most of them, but I haven't seen some before."

"It's normal. Some of the flowers we have here are brought in from Russia or Kazakhstan. They are not available in the mainland. Where are you from, little brother?"

"I am from Sichuan Province."

The child who seemed to be still doing his homework said loudly: "I know, I know!! There are giant pandas in Sichuan Province!"

Chen Xing smiled. This may be many people’s first impression of Sichuan Province.

In addition to giant pandas, there are probably Sichuan restaurants that have now taken over all over the country.

"Yes, there are giant pandas in Sichuan Province."

"Wow, I really want to see it..."

"Then you should study hard. You can go to Sichuan Province when you study in college, or travel to Sichuan Province from other places."

The aunt took advantage of the situation and said: "Did you hear that? My brother told you to study hard and finish your homework quickly!"

Then Chen Xing and Chen Xing began to introduce the flowers in the yard one by one. The flowers whose names Chen Xing didn't know also bloomed beautifully. It was obvious that the aunt took care of them carefully, unlike many people who bought flowers and just put them in the garden.

Leave it at home and let the flowers grow as they please.

After about ten minutes, Chen Xing was ready to leave.

The aunt persuaded her: "Please take more pictures. I have other flowers at home. Take more pictures and I will make you something to eat. Don't leave in a hurry."

"No need, eldest sister, I want to take a closer look around."

Seeing that Chen Xing was not retained, the aunt felt a little pity, but she still said: "Then you can go to the square in front and take a look. It is the most popular place here, and there are many people no matter day or night."
