"I don't think there's any problem. You'll know when you get here. Then I can take you around Chengdu."
In fact, he himself has not visited all of Rongcheng, but as a half-local, it is still okay to take an out-of-town friend like Bai Yuzhu around.
"I want to ask my parents." She sounded a little yearning.
She has never been to a very far place since she was born, and Chengdu is a big city. There are very tall houses, so many people, zoos, amusement parks, and giant pandas... The more she thinks about it, the more she grows up.
Looking forward to it.
"Okay."
Chen Xing said that of course she had to ask her parents about this kind of thing, and she could even bring her parents with her.
Otherwise, people would definitely not worry about their daughters running around.
Amidst the sound of rain, the sound of the stage over there quickly disappeared. Chen Xing could only hear the sound of rain falling on the umbrella. The collective bow just now appeared in his mind again. Chen Xing asked: "What are they?"
When is the time to get off work? It means ending the performance."
"It's pretty quick, this kind of play usually takes more than two hours to finish."
The performance starts in the morning and is almost over by noon. After a meal, the troupe will go to the next village.
"Is it such a rush? Two games a day?"
"It's always been like this."
Bai Yuzhu even envies these people. At least she feels that other people's lives are very meaningful. Unlike her own, she still can't imagine what she can do in the future.
The village was relatively small, so the two quickly returned to Bai Yuzhu's home.
Her parents have come back. Since it rained quickly, they didn't bring an umbrella to go out. Now their heads are wet and they are wiping them with a dry towel.
Seeing her daughter and Chen Xing so close, her mother's heart skipped a beat and she quickly pulled her daughter over.
Her father was okay. He glanced at his daughter and said to Chen Xing: "You are still smart and found the umbrella."
Bai Yuzhu laughed a few times, and then said to her parents in local dialect: "We just said it would rain? Look, it really rained."
"Yes, yes, you are right."
It’s just a rain, let’s see how proud you are.
Bai Yuzhu went to cook with her mother. Her father didn't know what to talk about with Chen Xing. He felt that it was not good to leave the guests alone to play with their mobile phones, so he asked: "Did you just go to the theater? What do you think of us?"
How about the drama on the side?"
"It's very beautiful, and the instrument masters played it very well."
"Oh, those are called Buyi Bayin sitting singing."
My uncle seemed to know a lot about this and told Chen Xing a lot about the characteristics of Bayin sitting singing and how this music form developed.
If you want to ask him what is the difference between this and outside musical instrument playing? Bai Yuzhu's father may not be able to tell the difference. His understanding is only about the musical form of eight-note sitting singing. He knows nothing about anything outside.
Very few.
"I have learned a little about Yueqin before." My uncle said with some nostalgia.
Chen Xing has seen Yueqin in Jiangnan, but the Yueqin here is a little different from that there. Generally speaking, the belly of Yueqin is round, but the Buyi people’s Yueqin is not. Their belly is really like the moon, it is curved.
It’s curved and has a gap.
"Will uncle still be there now?"
"I would like to practice, but if you don't buy it for me, there's nothing I can do."
He sighed and shook his head.
Before the food was ready, Chen Xing smelled the hot and sour smell coming from the kitchen.
He knew that they were going to make a local specialty dish today at noon, called Fish in Buyi Sour Soup. Before, Chen Xing only thought of this dish as the dish he ate in southern Yunnan... But it seems that it is not the case anymore. The taste is completely different. Chen Xing was not kept waiting for long. After hearing the shouts from the kitchen, Bai Yuzhu's father took Chen Xing to the fire pit room, where soup was simmering on the fire.
It's the fragrance that Chen Xing keeps smelling outside.
Other dishes have been placed on the table, and they look much richer than the last night's impromptu dish. There is roasted chicken with chestnuts, a potato dish that looks good, and another dish that Chen Xing can't recognize. It's broken into pieces.
The broken things seem to be pickles?
Mainly because Chen Xing smelled a bit of pickles.
Pickles are generally only found in the south and rarely seen in the north, let alone used for cooking.
Different from the sour and salty taste of kimchi, pickles are mainly salty, salty and sour. This may sound similar, but once this kind of food is eaten in your mouth, no matter how small the difference is, it will be greatly magnified.
times.
Chopped and fried pickles are fried together with another kind of white meatballs. Chen Xing still doesn’t know what these white meatballs are.
The strongest smell in the room is naturally the fish in sour soup that is still boiling on the fire.
The soup looks bright yellow, and the red oil is squeezed to the edge of the pot by the boiling water. The red oil is mixed with the yellow soup, and the smell of the sour smell with a slight tomato flavor makes your mouth water.
Bai Yuzhu quietly said to Chen Xing: "Brother Chen Xing, have you ever eaten fish in sour soup outside?"
"I ate it once in southern Yunnan."
"Ah? You have eaten it."
Chen Xing saw that she was a little discouraged and said, "It doesn't matter whether she has eaten it or not, as long as it tastes good, did you make this?"
"Yeah."
In the past, when they ate this dish, they usually didn't cook other dishes. Everyone took a rice bowl to put the rice in, and then gathered around the fire pit to warm themselves up while eating. The pot was not put on the table, but kept on the fire.
.
If you feel that the food is not enough, you can add some other vegetables to it.
It’s similar to the soup pot you eat in restaurants outside.
I didn’t want Chen Xing, the distinguished guest, to feel too shabby today, so I prepared a few more dishes.
Chen Xing asked what the white meatball was.
Bai Yuzhu said: "Those are glutinous rice balls, fried glutinous rice balls with pickles, have you ever eaten them?"
"No."
I’ve never tasted this before. So glutinous rice balls can also be fried?
Can they still be called glutinous rice balls?
"This dish is also very delicious." Knowing that there was a dish that Chen Xing had never seen before, Bai Yuzhu was a little excited.
The fish meat in the fish in sour soup was very fresh. Bai Yuzhu's mother took a big bowl and scooped out the fish meat from the pot. Now there is only a pot of soup left sizzling over there, and the fragrance is in the room.
It’s filled inside.
Chen Xing felt that after eating, he must find a place to take a shower and change his clothes, otherwise his clothes might smell like fish in sour soup.
When eating, the first thing he uses his chopsticks to eat is the fried glutinous rice balls.
Most of the time, humans have a fixed concept of what they eat.
People in Sichuan Province like to eat sweet glutinous rice balls, rice wine glutinous rice balls, and sesame glutinous rice balls. In a place like this, a salty glutinous rice dumpling suddenly appeared in a restaurant. Many people may feel uncomfortable when they see the name of this dish, let alone eat it. But if I change the name, it would be fried glutinous rice balls.
Chen Xing felt that he was somehow able to accept it.
The fried pickles are very crispy and the water is completely squeezed out. When paired with the fried glutinous rice balls, it feels crispy at first when you eat it. After taking a few bites, you quickly taste the sweet and glutinous texture of the glutinous rice balls. The mouth that had just eaten salt suddenly felt a little sweet.
This feeling is amazing, but I can’t say it’s not delicious, I can only say it’s a little bit addictive.
Although Chen Xing has eaten fish in sour soup in southern Yunnan once, it still tastes delicious and the soup is delicious. The difference between the fish in sour soup in southern Yunnan and the fish in sour soup in southern Yunnan may be that the soup base in southern Yunnan is spicier.
, there is a lot of tomato flavor in this meal.
But the fish is very tender, which is better than the one I had before.
This fish was probably alive and kicking half an hour ago. It was so fresh that it was hard to think whether it tasted good or not.
While eating, Bai Yuzhu mentioned to her mother that she wanted to go to Chengdu next year.
My mother didn't even listen to what she said. She shook her head and said, "No way, I won't allow you to go."
"Why?"
Bai Yuzhu was surprised.
This is not a bad thing. The tuition for my sister’s education is so expensive, and her family is also facing difficulties. Now with the help of noble people, she can find a job she likes in a big city like Chengdu, so why not let herself go?
Being a photographer sounds like a job that only educated people can do,
"You are getting married next year, remember?"
"I...even if I get married, it won't affect my part-time job."
She has to go out to work anyway, and she can't spend her whole life taking photos with people at the scenic spot. It's just a job she finds casually when she has nothing to do, and she can't work for a long time.
"Don't go!"
Bai Yuzhu's mother is a little angry. Why is this child disobedient?
It’s all this foreigner’s fault!
Her daughter has been with her since she was a child, and she has always been well-behaved and down-to-earth. If she went to a big city with a rich man to see the world, would she still be able to be a good wife and mother when she came back? Wouldn't her heart be wild?<
/p>
Don't know why.
She was very scared when her daughter said she was going to a big city.
…………
Chen Xing was eating happily, but while eating, he saw Bai Yuzhu and her mother quarreling.
Oh, it can't be said that it was a quarrel, it was auntie's unilateral lesson to Bai Yuzhu.
Chen Xing couldn't understand what they were saying, but he instinctively felt that it was what he and Bai Yuzhu had talked about before, that is, about going to Rongcheng after the New Year.
The uncle understood what he heard, but there was no change on his face. He still smiled and said to Chen Xing: "Eat, eat. She has this temper. She likes to talk to Yuzhu during meals when she has nothing to do. It doesn't matter."
Chen Xing felt that there was his own reason for this, and the food suddenly lost its flavor.
Listening to the aunt's angry voice, Chen Xing himself was a little frightened. Even though this aunt is usually gentle and gentle, when she gets fierce, she also has the aura of "Labor and Capital Shu Daoshan".
I don’t know if it was a psychological reaction, but from that moment on, Chen Xing felt that the way her aunt looked at her was strange.
After eating, Bai Yuzhu pulled Chen Xing aside and said, "Brother Chen Xing, I may not be able to go to Rongcheng to find you."
"Why, aunt doesn't agree?"
"Yeah."
Bai Yuzhu doesn't want to say the specific reason, anyway... I won't go if I don't want to go, just pretend that I have never met Chen Xing.
But the experience of these two days was better than in my dreams.
It’s easy to pretend that this has never happened, but can you deceive your heart?
Bai Yuzhu's tears quickly flowed out.
After all, she is still a girl under 18 years old. She feels that she has done nothing wrong in this matter. It feels aggrieved to have such a firm attitude and not let herself go to Chengdu. Especially since her mother also taught her a lesson in front of Chen Xing. This
It made her feel very embarrassed and made her want to die.
"Don't cry."
Chen Xing gave her a tissue, then sighed and said: "If I don't let you go, I won't let you go. You guys have your own way of life, I shouldn't disturb you. But even if you don't go to Rongcheng, we are still friends, right?"
? If you have any questions in the future, you can call me."
"I, I just want to go to Chengdu and learn to take photos..."
She finally found something she liked, but because she wanted to marry a strange man she had never met, her mother rejected her for no reason.
"There will always be opportunities in the future." Chen Xing said.
This is someone else’s family matter. As an outsider, Chen Xing is not qualified to say anything.
He thinks this is a good thing for Bai Yuzhu, but Chen Xing really doesn't know what consequences it will have on her family, and has never thought about it. He just proposed such a plan. Whether Bai Yuzhu goes or not depends on her.
I fought for it myself.
The rain had stopped long ago, and Chen Xing looked at the time.
He is leaving too.
He went to the room and put on his backpack again. When he went out, Bai Yuzhu's mother didn't give Chen Xing a good look, which made Chen Xing wonder if he had done something wrong?
But he really doesn’t understand.
It was his uncle who asked Bai Yuzhu to see him off, but when Chen Xing reached the main road at the entrance of the village, he asked Bai Yuzhu to go back quickly.
"I'm so sorry today."
Bai Yuzhu lowered his head, occasionally looked up at Chen Xing, and then lowered his head again.
Chen Xing still has the same smile as when we first met him, so pretty.
"It's okay."
Chen Xing's hand hung on her shoulder, and then he patted her twice.
"Live a good life." Chen Xing said.
From here to the scenic spot is a newly built road. For Chen Xing, it is only a short walk. Soon Chen Xing's back disappeared from Bai Yuzhu's eyes. She pursed her lips and rubbed
He rubbed his eyes and then walked back.
Chen Xing felt a little pity, but didn't think too much about it.
He has also encountered some such situations when traveling at home and abroad, and not everything he can help with.
In less than an hour, Chen Xing arrived at the scenic spot where he watched the bullfight.
The bullring is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. Today is a working day, the bullring is not open, and there are not many tourists here.
But no matter how few tourists there are, the buses at the scenic spots are still very comprehensive.
The next target - Boyu County.
He stayed in Guizhou to watch the Village Super League. His next game was in Boyu County, Liupanshui. Chen Xing went there two days in advance so that he could find a hotel to stay. This county didn't sound like a tourist county, so a hotel was definitely
There won’t be as many tourist towns as there are in normal tourist counties.
If we don’t find a hotel room early, those who have cars can go home directly after the game. What will those like Chen Xing who don’t have cars do?
I just came from Liangdu a few days ago, and now I have to go back again, and it takes several hours of driving.
But there's nothing I can do about it, Liangdu hasn't seen any bullfights during this period.
Before coming here, he thought bullfighting was quite barbaric and not very entertaining. It was just a Guizhou custom and hobby. But he didn't expect it to be pretty good. He just didn't know how it was different from bullfighting in Spain. He would look for an opportunity to go to Spain and see it.
