In Tianfu at the end of April, there is already a bit of heat in the air.
After getting off the plane, Qin Ruoshu, who was still wearing a windbreaker, felt a little stuffy, but before arriving at the hotel, she could only make do with it.
The two of them had just arrived at the exit, and before they had walked a few steps, they saw the person picking up the plane from Xinghan Southwest District, standing there holding a big sign.
"Xinghan Zhouyan."
The person opposite seemed to have never seen Zhou Yan. When he saw the person walking over, he picked up his mobile phone and checked it carefully before trying to ask: "Sorry, Mr. Zhou, we just received a notice from the head office.
I'll come here to deliver the car..."
"It's okay, private event, self-driving tour."
"The car is in the parking lot opposite, here is the key..."
Perhaps considering that Zhou Yan needed to travel elsewhere, Xinghan Southwest Region provided a Jeep Commander.
After getting on the bus, Zhou Yan asked Qin Ruoshu to check the map.
The result of "just leaving" was that there was no plan. Originally, the two planned to go directly to see the giant pandas, but after looking at the map, they realized that the airport and the giant panda breeding base are separated by a city in Rongcheng.
The two of them had no choice but to stay at the Diqing Hotel first, change into breezy late spring clothes, and then go shopping.
Thanks to the rapid urban expansion of Rongcheng, the two major attractions originally located in the suburbs, Wuhou Temple and Du Fu Thatched Cottage, have been enclosed in the urban area.
For idlers like Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu, Wuhou Temple and Du Fu Thatched Cottage are more suitable for check-in. It is pure nonsense to say that they can learn something from the Celebrity Memorial Temple and their former residence.
Neither Zhou Yan nor his wife had the consciousness to devote themselves to death and die, nor did they have the moral integrity to "have thousands of mansions in their houses and shelter all the poor people in the world with joy."
Just check in and send it to your circle of friends to let more people know about these two attractions and let people with integrity and sentiment meet with each other. That would be great.
After leaving Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, the two went to the Shuangxianqiao Antique Market, less than one kilometer away from the Thatched Cottage.
"Theoretically, there should be more high-quality antiques sent to Xianqiao than to Liulichang. Do you know why?"
Qin Ruoshu, who was asked, thought for a while and replied: "During the Anti-Japanese War, this was the rear area, where wealthy businessmen from all over the world gathered..."
"There is another factor," Zhou Yan glanced at the toys on the street stall, "Since ancient times, the Tianfu Plain has encountered fewer wars than other places..."
Of course, sending to Xianqiao is not without its disadvantages. There are no porcelain producing areas nearby, and it is not an ancient capital. "Imperial" legacy is relatively rare.
Those who hang out in the antique market are all old-timers, so Zhou Yan doesn't expect to miss anything. He just wants to stock up on some interesting gadgets before housing prices take off.
Zhou Yan has never counted on calligraphy and painting. Many famous painters who are only in their eighties have already started to hoard their works. Just by looking at this, you can know how fierce the competition in the calligraphy and painting market is.
Bamboo and wooden tooth horns, the horns and the goodies inside the teeth are basically free of charge, so bamboo and wood can still be played with.
And Zhou Yan, who was about to own a large number of redwood hospitals, set his sights on bamboo products.
Among bamboo products, bamboo is the cheapest, but it ranks first. This is more or less because of the character of scholars. Therefore, the high-end products among bamboo products are mainly literary toys.
After shopping for a while, Zhou Yan hadn't opened the shop yet. Instead, Qin Ruoshu, who was wandering around, had already discovered some good stuff and was squatting in front of the stall.
Seeing Zhou Yan following him, Qin Ruoshu turned around and asked, "Hubby, look at this fan, does it belong to Xiangfeizhu?"
Zhou Yan came up, took a look, and nodded: "It should be the real thing!"
"Boss, how did you sell this fan?"
"One hundred and one."
"I want a pair, please give me a cheaper one!"
"One hundred and fifty!"
"eighty!"
After grinding for a while, Qin Ruoshu finally used an old man's head to take down a pair of fans.
After paying the money, just as he was about to get up, Qin Ruoshu found a nice small handle made of solid bamboo on the side of the stall. He handed the fan to Zhou Yan and squatted down.
"This thing..." Zhou Yan glanced at it, "You have to do it yourself, otherwise it will always be bamboo..."
"There will be time soon..." After saying that, Qin Ruoshu picked a few blank cylindrical solid bamboo handles from the stall, paid for them, and stuffed them into Zhou Yan's hands.
"what?"
"Comrade Zhou, you are good at craftsmanship. It would be interesting to go back and carve it..."
After walking a few steps, Zhou Yan also discovered something good, a pink round transparent stone.
"What is this?" It was rare that Zhou Yan was interested in something, and Qin Ruoshu was also curious.
"Herring stones!" Zhou Yan glanced at the pile of large and small herring stones on the stall. The big ones were as big as a baby's palm, and the small ones were as big as a thumb.
"Boss?" Zhou Yan looked at the stall owner who was lazily basking in the sun with a smile, "Supposedly, there should be no worries about selling this thing..."
"Not just selling it, but this pile of three thousand yuan..."
"Two thousand?" Zhou Yan tried to reply.
"make a deal!"
Seeing her husband "falling into a trap", Qin Ruoshu's eyes were filled with complaints: "It's too expensive!"
"It's not like..." Zhou Yan took the bag handed over by the boss, "The herring stone can calm the nerves, go back and give our son or daughter a string of bracelets to wear..."
Qin Ruoshu immediately felt that it was not a loss, but he was still a little unwilling to give up: "Don't other fishes have this stuff in their stomachs?"
"Only herring has it, otherwise would it be called herring stone?" Zhou Yan smiled, "Of course, there are other things that have similar effects."
"Stop being so pretentious..."
"Pig bones," Zhou Yan revealed with a smile, "are the small bones of pigs. My parents have saved a lot of them over the years. It is enough for five or six children to have their hands and feet..."
The two of them spent the rest of the time wandering around until they saw Shu brocade and Shu embroidery.
Needless to say, Shu brocade is a good thing that I have read in history textbooks, and Shu embroidery is not bad, and the content of Shu embroidery is also quite pleasing, including giant pandas, red pandas, golden monkeys, snow leopards and red-bellied golden pheasants.
Qin Ruoshu would not let go of the opportunity to visit Rua pandas before arriving at the giant panda breeding base. She wanted the Shu embroidered animal pendants in triplicate for each animal.
Qin Ruoshu took the trouble to select the pendant, while the boss beside him was already smiling from ear to ear.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the two returned to the parking lot with a large bag full of harvest.
"Where shall we go next?"
"Let's get started!" Zhou Yan put on his seat belt and glanced back at Qin Ruoshu, "When we drive to Shu, we naturally have to eat authentic Sichuan cuisine. Search for it..."
Qin Ruoshu held her phone and looked at it for a while, then raised her head: "It just so happens that there is an authentic time-honored brand not far from where we live..."
"Then let's go!"
When people from outside the province try Sichuan food in Shu, they naturally have to order "slightly spicy" food.
The first dish is naturally the boiled cabbage that is most troublesome to the chef.
Although Zhou Yan can also cook, at home, unlike a restaurant, it is impossible to cook soup for three days just to eat a dish. But in a restaurant, it is different. For the dish, you can work on a streamlined basis.
"Peony fish fillet, can you make it?"
Qin Ruoshu, who was sitting opposite Zhou Yan, glared at Zhou Yan angrily: "Aren't you afraid of being beaten?"
"Madam, it doesn't matter, our store can make this dish..."
"Twice-cooked pork, Mapo tofu..."
After ordering, Zhou Yan raised his head: "Honey, go to the supermarket to buy some fruit later, and feed the pandas tomorrow!"
