In addition to these snacks from various places, there are also many local agricultural and sideline products in Guizhou, such as dried dried plums, plain slices, hawthorn slices, yam slices, etc. The taste is different from what is sold in supermarkets, and of course the taste is different. p>
However, these types of snacks feel good if you eat them in small amounts, and you will easily get tired of them if you eat more.
Chen Xing had lunch here and took a tricycle to another scenic spot in the county in the afternoon.
Boyu Ancient Town.
Chen Xing has a long-term mission to visit ancient towns, so he has been to many ancient towns in China. In terms of style, there are ancient towns in Sichuan Province and ancient towns in Jiangnan. Among them, most of them are ancient towns in Jiangnan. The last time I traveled there, I almost vomited, but still
Because of this, Chen Xing knows a lot about many ancient buildings.
In ancient times when transportation conditions were inconvenient, cultural exchanges between the two provinces were not close.
Unless there is a large population migration.
Nowadays, there are many typical Huizhou architectural styles in Sichuan Province, sometimes mixed with the style of Suzhou gardens, precisely because of the original population migration.
Different from Sichuan Province, Guizhou has been an extremely closed province from ancient times to modern times. Only in modern times has it truly integrated into the multicultural family of China, so the architecture here also has its own style.
But we can’t break away from the foundation of the Diaojiaolou.
The tricycle goes straight along the main road of the county. At the end, there is a porous stone arch bridge with a length of more than ten meters. Looking at the width of this bridge, you can imagine that the river here used to be very majestic at that time, but now you can only see a small
The flow of water in streams is also very slow.
Opposite is the old town of Boyu County.
Many ancient cities and towns are now heavily commercialized. Once you enter, there are either ancient costume and Hanfu shops, folk musical instrument shops, or souvenir shops.
However, this ancient city has the smell of human fireworks.
Before Chen Xing walked across the bridge, he saw that every household on the wooden stilts that had been built four or five stories high had clothes and sheets hanging to dry. If it weren't for the wood carvings on these upper floors, they would have been obliterated, forming a black and bright
The shiny black patina, otherwise Chen Xing would never have imagined that such a building is actually an ancient building.
The density of living in four- or five-story ancient buildings is similar to that of residential buildings that appeared in the 1970s and 1980s.
Entering this ancient city, the smell of fireworks becomes even stronger.
The narrow street is paved with stone slabs. It is only about three or four meters wide. It is so narrow that there is no need to think about any drainage system. There is no one. There are shops on both sides, selling clothes and hairy tofu. Chen Xing
I also saw someone setting up a stall to shave their heads.
The master who shaved his head was probably in his seventies, wearing a white cloth and a cotton-padded jacket, and his tool was a knife similar to a butterfly knife.
Chen Xing took a camera and took a few photos of him giving a tourist a haircut.
This tourist experiencing life also has very short hair. He should be the type who doesn't mind having his head shaved often. Chen Xing can't do this. If his head is really shaved, he might not leave home even once in half a year. He has to wait for his hair to be shaved.
It won't come out until it's fully grown.
The clothing stores here don't sell the very fashionable clothes in the city, they seem to be more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people.
There are even tailor shops.
Several aunts use modern sewing machines, and there are countless fabrics piled up in the store.
This kind of shop is hard to find in the city. Ready-made clothing stores definitely account for 99% of the city's clothing market. It is estimated that only some old people in a city will know where the clothing shops are.<
/p>
There are several ready-made sets in this store, hanging on the shelves waiting for people to pick them up.
There are many tourists taking photos and videos here.
Chen Xing waited for a while, wanting to see if anyone came here to make clothes, but after waiting for almost ten minutes, he didn't see anyone coming. Instead, there was a blue one, which looked a bit like the clothes of the Buyi ethnic group that had been taken away.
.
The costumes of the Buyi ethnic group, whether men or women, are not too gorgeous, and have no special features compared with Hanfu, Tibetan robes, Miao costumes, etc.
However, this kind of simplicity can be regarded as a characteristic, at least it is relatively easy to recognize.
Chen Xing entered the store to watch the aunts cutting clothes for people up close, and took some portrait photos up close.
They seem to be used to tourists taking photos. Their attitude towards the photographer is not like many people outside who frown and dissatisfy, or avoid their front faces. Instead, they smile at Chen Xing. This kind of smile is also very natural, and it looks like labor in the photo.
The charm of the reader.
This is the kind of person who shoots at close range. No matter how good-looking the model is, as long as she is not nervous and natural when facing the camera, the photos taken will not make people feel uncomfortable.
Chen Xing was also very grateful for their cooperation. After taking a few photos, he asked: "Sister, I think you can customize clothes here?"
"Yeah." One of them replied to Chen Xing and then asked, "Do you want to make it custom-made? The clothes you are wearing are so beautiful, we may not be able to make them."
Chen Xing is currently wearing a white shirt and gray coat, both of which are Nordic brands, and they look very fashionable.
Although they have all learned how to cut clothes since they were young, most of the time they make clothes for people nearby, and they are all ethnic minority clothes. After all, if people want to buy cheap clothes, there are plenty of them in the market, so there is no need to come here to make them custom-made.
.
Therefore, they are very unfamiliar with many modern clothes, and they cannot make modern and handsome clothes.
"No, no." Chen Xing shook his head repeatedly.
He pointed to a set of ethnic minority clothes hanging on the shelf next to him and said, "I like this set of clothes very much. Can I make a custom one?"
"Oh, no way."
"Then what ethnic group's clothes are these?"
Chen Xing just thought that this set of clothes was made of red and colorful, and there were many patterns on it. It looked very complicated and beautiful, but he really didn't know what ethnic costume it was.
"This is from the Yao people. What do you want to do? It's a bit expensive." The eldest sister was still very enthusiastic and worried that Chen Xing would spend money in vain. "They only wear it when there are activities or weddings.
You probably won’t be able to wear it even once you buy it, it’s too complicated.”
"It's okay. I usually like to collect clothes. This is a personal hobby of mine. Can you do it, sister?"
"If you can do it, you can do it."
Chen Xing had said this, and the eldest sister definitely couldn't let this business slip away in vain, so she quickly measured Chen Xing's figure.
During the measurement, Chen Xing was watched by many people.
When measuring the waist circumference, you have to take off your coat. As soon as you take off the coat, you can only see Chen Xing wearing a white shirt. The broad shoulders make Chen Xing look very tall and straight, and the outline of his chest and abdominal muscles are also measured when measuring.
It was exposed, making some tourists jealous and blushing.
"The handsome guy has a good figure!" said the eldest sister who measured Chen Xing.
"Haha, not bad, not bad..."
He is also a little embarrassed now. He forgot to wear a mask. He will not be recognized by others, right?
After taking the measurements, Chen Xing quickly put on his coat. The temperature outside was still very cold, and it was a bit unbearable to wear a shirt alone.
The eldest sister came over with a book and said, "Handsome man, take a look and see what style you like."
This book felt very old. The cover showed a girl from a minority ethnic group, and the name was "Traditional Costumes of the Yao Nationality." Chen Xing turned it over and looked at the back. It was published in 1993... It is indeed a very old book. It is already
Published for almost thirty years.
A large part of this book is about women's clothing, part of it is an introduction to the Yao ethnic tradition and culture, and the last part is about men's clothing.
Chen Xing briefly looked through it first.
Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, girls’ clothes have always been prettier and more gorgeous than boys’ clothes.
Chen Xing found a set of red and black clothes. This suit looks a bit like a frontier swordsman in martial arts. It looks quite handsome, but you have to see how it looks when you put it on yourself. p>
I seem to have a lot of ethnic minority clothes at home, and I feel like I can do some cross-dressing.
He likes the set of Tibetan robes given to him by Brother Nima Zhandui very much. Compared with the traditional ones, that set has many modern elements and looks very handsome. But he really doesn’t have a chance to wear it. When the time comes, he will wear it and shoot a video.
, I am having a great time.
Chen Xing settled the money together and asked them to deliver it to his home by express delivery. Anyway, it would take more than half a month, and the express delivery should be reopened by then.
This ancient town is still a bit small. In fact, there are quite a lot of houses. After all, many people lived here now and before. Before the new city outside was built, almost all the people in Boyu County lived in these houses in the ancient town. But the streets are really a bit
Smaller.
This is also one of the shortcomings of the very real ancient town.
Nowadays, when traveling to some ancient towns, except for those ancient towns that were famous thousands of years ago, these smaller, unknown ancient towns in mountainous areas almost all have such narrow streets, and even drainage and sewage treatment are not done.
This is a shortcoming, but it does not outweigh the advantages.
Of course there are advantages.
First of all, there is real affection between neighbors. Chen Xing saw some old people sitting in the yard and resting, and a few children playing in it. This kind of yard is not much different from a courtyard house, except that there are more people living there.
That's all. Chen Xing was too embarrassed to go in, so he took a few photos and left.
Secondly, this street is indeed somewhat famous now, with many tourists coming here.
Those who have a house here can make money by doing anything, just like the old man who shaved his head that Chen Xing saw before. Now tourists are coming one after another, and they are probably almost overwhelmed.
Closer to home, Chen Xing quickly walked through this ancient town.
When you come here from the new town, you will pass by the stone arch bridge. If you come by car, you have to park outside. In the ancient town area, you can only walk. When you reach the end, the outside is blocked by wires. It looks like a mountain? There is a theater here, but the sign next to it says that there are opera performances only every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The opera performed is from the Yunnan-Guizhou region, called Huadeng Opera.
