Chapter 396 Can you eat the sweet, bitter, spicy and salty fried rice?
Chen Xing went to the convenience store and bought a pack of cigarettes, opened them as he walked, and then gave one to the old doorman who was holding a cigarette.
"Uncle, can I go inside and have a look?"
The old man looked sharply at Chen Xingren and then at the smoke.
Oh, what a smoke!
So he took it over with a smile and said: "Are you here to travel? Have you bought a ticket? Once you buy a ticket, you can enter."
"Yes, there is."
Chen Xing took out his mobile phone to look for afternoon tickets and asked: "Is this it? Are there games in the morning as well?"
"No, there are only a few shows a week yesterday and today. They are both at three o'clock in the afternoon. Just buy a ticket and go in."
So you can get in if you have a ticket?
Then I'll buy a pack of cigarettes...
He originally planned to give a package to the old guard and bribe him so that he could go in and see what it looked like inside and take pictures, because if you want to take pictures of scenic spots, it is best to choose a time when there are fewer people, so that you can pass the skills
We will deal with the sporadic characters later.
But there are too many people and there is really nothing we can do. Even if we force it out, it won’t have that real taste.
This bullring looks like an antique building from the outside, and it's the same inside. In the middle is a venue that is about two meters deep. The only three entrances are all made of iron gates.
Let alone the cow, even using a chainsaw would take a while to cut it open.
Then there are circles of stairs all around.
These steps are the seats. There is no dedicated walkway like a theater, and there are no rows or seats marked. Audiences can find their own seats after walking in, and sit wherever there is space on the steps.<
/p>
You can see more clearly from the front, but sitting in the back you can feel the lively atmosphere of the audience better.
In addition, the location where Chen Xing is located, which is the top level after entering the venue, is a row of wooden houses and antique pedestrian streets that are the same as outside. Inside the store are some souvenirs, drinks, melon seeds, and mineral water.
Something like that.
You can see fences, tables and chairs on the second and third floors, giving you a sense of familiarity like a restaurant facing the street in a costume TV series.
There are people inside these stores, and there are even people cleaning the venues below. After all, they are only open for two days a week, and are closed for the five days in between. There is inevitably some dust on the seats, which needs to be dealt with in time.<
/p>
"Hey, that one over there, who are you?"
Seeing Chen Xing wandering around the bullring with a camera, a staff member in red clothes in one of the stores finally couldn't help it.
"Me?"
Chen Xing looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he said, "I'm a tourist, what's wrong?"
"Oh, that's fine. I saw that your camera looks good, so I thought you were some kind of reporter or Internet celebrity. We are still cleaning it now. If you want to take pictures, you can wait until we clean them before taking pictures."
They built this Colosseum, and the stairs around it were all made of a relatively cheap marble. This stone looks good, and is more comfortable to sit on than cement rocks, but it is not resistant to dirt, and people have to circle around it before using it.
Sweep the floor as if mopping it in circles.
Otherwise, the photos will give the impression that the seats are dirty and worn out.
Chen Xing smiled and scratched his hair, looking like a simple college student.
It seems that this staff member misunderstood. He is a tourist, but he can't prove that he will not put the pictures he took on the Internet? And what this person said is wrong. Why does the picture look dirty? When the lighting is suitable
Sometimes, dirt can also form a contrast with brightness, making photos more story-telling and historical.
Chen Xing personally likes this venue very much. Although the structure inside has the shadow of the Western Colosseum, the overall look still has an oriental aesthetic.
After taking a lot of photos, Chen Xing left here at noon to eat on the street outside.
After coming out, Chen Xing saw that the old man was still playing with his mobile phone. After thinking about it, he took out the cigarettes he bought earlier from his pocket.
"Uncle, I give it to you."
The old man looked up with the same expression he had when they met for the first time. He smiled when he saw it was Chen Xing. He had a good impression of this young man and even gave him a cigarette to smoke. Not to mention, it was a good cigarette.
It just feels different.
"It's you." He wanted to say hello to Chen Xing, but saw Chen Xing handing over a whole pack of cigarettes. "This... give this to me?"
"Well, I don't smoke much myself, so I gave it to you. Thank you for letting me in."
"Oh, how embarrassing is this? Anyone can enter here."
He said he was embarrassed, but he quickly took the cigarette with his hand. The smile on his face became even bigger. He thought for a moment and reciprocated: "Young man, I really like you more and more. In this way, you came in the afternoon."
Come find me here when the time comes, and I'll find you a good spot to watch the bullfight."
There will be people entering the venue after noon, but then the game will not start until 3 p.m.
For a few hours, it was not comfortable to stand or sit in this cold weather. It was always uncomfortable, so the old man asked Chen Xing to come back to him when the time was almost up. He had no other abilities. In this bullfighting
It is very easy to find a good position for Chen Xing.
Chen Xing didn't expect that he didn't give away the pack of cigarettes for free, so he said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll trouble you then."
He just thought it was too troublesome to carry cigarettes in his pocket, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain.
………………
If you want to eat something with Guizhou characteristics, you don’t have to go too far. There are many specialty snacks, specialty restaurants, etc. nearby.
Since tourism became popular in the past few years, many "ancient towns" have been built in various places for foreign tourists or local locals to come and have fun. This bullfighting street is also an antique street with Guizhou characteristics built around the bullring.
.
What are the characteristics of Guizhou?
This is easy to identify. It is a gathering place for ethnic minorities. The ancient streets built also use many architectural styles that are completely different from those in the Jiangnan area.
It’s just that this street is not too long, so Chen Xing finished it quickly.
Finally, I chose "Tongxi Town Authentic Weird Rice"
There are so many restaurants and shops, why did you choose this one?
Because Chen Xing saw that they had put a lot of things on the stove, such as chili powder, dried chili peppers, chili sauce, onions, garlic sprouts, sauerkraut, soybeans, tomatoes, fresh meat slices, dried tofu... there were so many things placed on one
It is very conspicuous on the wooden board.
I guess anyone who passes by here will notice why there are so many things inside.
Chen Xing went in and asked: "Boss, how do you sell this food?"
"It's fried rice. This is our unique delicacy in Guizhou. Do you want to try it?"
"Have one."
Why should I try it? I definitely have to try it.
Walking into the store, the occupancy rate of this store is pretty good. There is only one empty table. Chen Xing quickly went to sit down. A young man who was helping in the store poured a bowl of soy milk for Chen Xing. p>
Judging from this occupancy rate, this store should be pretty good.
The weather is too cold now, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it is not a particularly good time to travel, but many people working in other places have nothing to do when they go home, so they want to come here to see a bullfight, so now this trip
There are few foreign tourists and many locals on the ancient streets.
After all, they come here to watch the bullfight for free, which is equivalent to making 60 yuan in vain.
Cities that are particularly cold in winter and cities that are particularly hot in summer are actually not particularly good places to travel, unless the city's reputation has made it possible to ignore these external factors.
Just like many people go to mountain cities to experience the 3D city in the summer, and go to Chengdu to enjoy the delicious food.
Especially for northerners, check the latest temperature before coming.
You're only 33? It's not hot at all. We are already 40 here. Wouldn't this trip be a vacation?
After the results came, hum...
Compared with cities like this, these cities in Guizhou are still a bit inferior, and they will not make people come here to visit them during the off-season.
This strange rice dish is made very quickly. Fried rice is the most traditional Chinese fast food. It only takes a few minutes to cook a portion of rice under the fire of a restaurant.
The whole restaurant is filled with the salty aroma of fried rice, but at the same time there is also a lot of special smell.
The smell was not very profound, but when it was eaten, this particularly strange smell immediately gave Chen Xing a very special memory of this dish.
Sour? Not too sour.
Hemp? Not particularly hemp.
Spicy? Sichuan people think it’s okay.
It was a particularly strange taste that reminded Chen Xing of the combination of fruit and chili sauce he had eaten in southern Yunnan. The two seemed to have the same purpose but the same effect.
No wonder it’s called Guailu rice, the taste is really strange.
When he first ate it, he was a little uncomfortable, but after a few mouthfuls, Chen Xing could feel the charm of this strange taste.
Rice is one of the staple foods of Chinese people today. Many people eat this tasteless thing every day. Over time, they will have a very special emotion towards rice.
You say it tastes delicious, but the rice has no taste?
It’s not delicious, but I still think about it after not eating it for a long time.
Now this strange rice dish gave Chen Xing the feeling of eating rice for the first time. The taste of rice could not be felt at all. Only the unique strange smell formed by the mixture of these dishes was impressive.
Profound.
All the side dishes I just saw are added to this fried rice.
Yangzhou fried rice also adds everything. The more you add, the more expensive it is, but it still tastes like fried rice, which is quite different from strange rice.
Very good.
Chen Xing came from Rongcheng, a place known as the city of gourmet food. What he ate every day was couple's lung slices, Dandan noodles, Chaoshou, Chuanchuanxiang, steamed rice rolls, Bobo chicken, cold cakes, jelly, pot stickers, sweet noodles, etc. It was already quite rich. But every time I go out, I will still be surprised by the delicious food from other provinces.
Nowadays, planes fly at an altitude of 10,000 meters all day long. High-speed rails extend in all directions and are not expensive. Many people from other provinces who come to work have gradually brought food from other cities back to their hometowns, plus some unique food from the province.
.
Perhaps it can be said that every city in China is a capital of gourmet food. As long as you look for it, you will find satisfying food wherever you go.
After leaving this strange restaurant, Chen Xing discovered that a spring roll called Silk Baby was also quite delicious.
It’s just that all the dishes in the store are vegetarian and there is no meat.
The taste is okay, but it would taste better if there was meat?
Chen Xing thought so in his heart.
There are some people wearing Miao costumes on the street. This kind of clothes can be rented or bought on this street. Most of them are worn by foreign tourists, and some of them are beautiful. Chen Xing followed them and took some photos.
Still, photographing girls makes people feel happy.
The time soon reached two o'clock, and Chen Xing arrived at the gate of the ancient thirty-sixth village bullring at half past two.
The old man was still sitting in the small room at the door, but there was also an additional young man checking tickets.
The queue to enter the venue is more than fifty meters long, and there are still two rows. It is estimated that if it is lengthened, it can go from the beginning to the end of the street. Although the people checking tickets are busy, they are also in an orderly manner. On one side are locals entering.
On one side are out-of-towners who bought tickets.
Most attractions have discounts for locals in the surrounding area. For example, the Potala Palace is free for locals, and the Bullring is also free for locals.
Chen Xing likes this model very much and thinks it is more humane.
He walked from the middle and knocked on the window. The young man checking the tickets saw that Chen Xing was looking for the uncle, so he looked away and continued to do his work.
These people were all wearing red clothes, which were the same vests that Chen Xing saw wearing in the bullring.
"Uncle!"
Chen Xing shouted.
When the old man saw Chen Xing coming, he smiled and said, "Are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come on, come with me."
He opened the door and came out, and Chen Xing discovered that his legs and feet were not convenient and he was a little lame when walking.
Chen Xing didn't ask, and followed slowly, talking about what he had just eaten.
"The taste of strange glutinous rice is a bit strange, but it tastes really good. Do other outsiders like to eat this?"
"How do I know what others think? Anyway, I don't like it very much myself."
"Why?" Chen Xing was curious, isn't this your Guizhou specialty food?
"You asked me why? Didn't you already tell me that it smells weird?"
"..."
"Where are you from, young man?"
"From Sichuan Province."
"Are you used to eating all the food from Sichuan Province? It's impossible, right? The food you eat includes sour, spicy, and sweet. People who like spicy food are definitely not used to eating sweet food, so I
What’s so strange about eating weird rice if you’re not used to it?”
"Incisive." Chen Xing gave him a thumbs up.
"Hahaha, I'm just not used to eating these things."
He was very happy. He took out Chen Xing's cigarette, paused, and asked Chen Xing: "Do you want it?"
"No, I don't smoke."
“It’s okay not to smoke, but it’s hard to quit if you smoke too much.”
He took Chen Xing away from the crowd and walked in through another door on the street. There were not so many tourists here, but there were a lot of staff, that is, those wearing red vests with the word "古三" printed on their backs.
Sixteenth Village Bullring'.
"Uncle Niu, why don't you take a walk?"
"Lao Niu, is this your relative? The young man is so handsome."
Chen Xing automatically filters out these joking remarks. He is very self-aware of his current relationship status.
