At that time, the Quannan Expressway and the Guangji Expressway were not yet open to traffic. You had to take the national highway, which was about 700 kilometers? Anyway, it was much slower than now. Basically, Brother Yu was driving. Sometimes I would take his place in places with few people.
I took the wrong route this time and wasted half a day.
It wasn't until the evening of the third day that we arrived at Nanping City, at the foot of Wuyi Mountain.
The car ride is exhausting. I have a rest today and tomorrow. I will inquire about the spot and start digging the day after tomorrow.
"Boss, how much does it cost for three rooms?"
"250."
"250? Why is it so expensive!" Dou Sprout said.
The proprietress of the small hotel rolled her eyes at him and said, "Little pigeon, why don't you look at what time of year it is? Where is this place? If you want to stay here, the price is already very cheap."
It's a dialect, she calls Dou Sprouts, little pigeons, boss old pigeons, she says very cheap or very good, which sounds like very cheap, very good.
There is no distinction between right and wrong.
"I think your little pigeon is expensive, can you make it cheaper? Let's go for 200, just 50." Dou Sprout said while bargaining.
The proprietress was happy and said: "You are so funny, little pigeon. The new rock tea from Wuyi Mountain will be released soon this year, and people from all over the country who are engaged in tea business will live everywhere. If you don't stay, people will come to live here soon."
"Okay, okay, let's drive." Feeling tired, he handed over the money.
After settling in, around 7 pm, Dou Sprout Zai and I went out to buy food.
There are many beauties in Nanping, including tea-picking girls. Most of them are not tall, and their facial features are very beautiful, but I like those with long legs.
Across the street and opposite the hotel is Huaguang Road, where the Experimental Primary School is.
There are food vendors on the roadside. The school is a boarding school, and students in sixth grade have to attend evening self-study.
"Fengzi, what are you doing? Why are there so many primary school students?"
I walked over and saw that it was a woman in her early twenties, selling chicks in a frame on the ground.
At this time, during the evening self-study break, the students from the experimental primary school all ran out and gathered around to buy chickens.
This woman is also good-looking. She is a beautiful woman. Her facial features and body are on the thin side, and she is only a little over one and a half meters tall.
When the light shined on them, I saw that the chicks in her frame were all colorful, including red, green, yellow, and white. It looked like they were dyed deliberately.
"I want it! I want it! I'll buy one!"
"I want it too! I want a green chick!"
"Don't grab it! We have everything! You haven't paid me yet, it's only fifty cents each."
The children rushed to buy it.
"Jingle Bell....."
The bell rang in the experimental elementary school and the children dispersed. The girl stood there with some spit on her fingers and began to count the money.
She had only one-fifty-cent pieces and two-cent pieces, but the big one was gone.
"Hello."
She raised her head: "You adults want to buy it too? This is for children to play with. The chickens will die in two or three days after being dyed. They cannot be fed."
She was honest, so I asked the girl: "Why do you sell them so cheaply, only 50 cents each?"
She was a little wary, "Are you a fellow traveler?"
I shook my head no and asked.
Hearing that I was not a colleague, the girl put the money in her apron and said with a smile: "Everyone can make money from this. If someone sells one piece, they will sell it, so I will sell it for 50 cents. The experimental elementary school has a radius of five miles, and I want to lower the price of the chicks."
Come down!" she waved.
"Beauty, are you from the city or somewhere?" Dou Sprout asked casually.
When she smiled, her eyes turned into two crescents.
"What, you want to chase me? Does your family have money? I want a gift of 100,000 yuan."
"Good guy," Douyazai said. We just met less than three minutes ago, and you have already thought of our child's name. But I'm sorry, I have no money and am very poor.
This girl has a lively personality and covered her mouth and giggled after hearing this.
After laughing for a while, she told me that her name was Ma Fengfeng and her family lived in Houjing Village, Shuiji Town.
