  Chapter 15 Eight Fat Sheep

  Kost carried a group of eight people to Yunlu Ancient Town. It's almost noon, the sun is shining brightly, the weather is very good, and the fantastic clouds are dotted in the blue sky, which makes people feel free.

   After a few people got out of the car, the driver returned and will come here to pick them up again tomorrow afternoon.

  Lu Tingting quickly took out her mobile phone, and exchanged the eight passes purchased online at the ticket office. This ticket already includes high-standard food and accommodation for several scenic spots, and it costs more than 300 per person, which feels very cost-effective.

  As soon as you enter Yunlu Ancient Town, you feel that the investment in this tourist attraction must be not small. This ancient town rehabilitated many old courtyard houses of the Republic of China, added some southern dwellings near the water, and interspersed many special functional areas, such as wine workshops for wine making, dyeing workshops for cloth dyeing, **** bureaus, Ring, theater building and stage. It is definitely no problem to use this place as a film and television city to shoot a costume TV drama.

  The eight of them were fighting and romping along the way, shuttled on the bluestone streets, immersed in the joy of youth with their friends, the time passed quickly, everyone was tired from walking, and their stomachs were growling with hunger.

   Seeing a restaurant under the guise of "wine", Lu Tingting ordered a lot of special dishes. After they were prepared, they moved to the swaying black-covered boat, and eight people sat on the cruise ship for a while, and then had a meal.

  This boat is not big, just suitable for eight to ten people to sit, and dining on the boat is really romantic.

"I want to play in the afternoon, so I won't drink the wine. I ordered roast pork, minced meat pancakes, braised tofu, chestnuts and cabbage, fried kidneys, fried tenderloin, crispy fish, crispy chicken. There are also big dishes, swallowtail peach blossom Shrimp, sea red shark's fin, Gongmen Xianyu, Youzuan prawns, and special dim sum with pea yellow and kidney bean rolls. I saw that the dishes must be enough."

   "What a talent our squad leader is, it's a shame to be a team leader." Ding Mu flattered while stuffing prawns into his mouth.

  The boatman slowly shook the scull. A few people admired the antiques by the river, tasted special snacks, and went down the river.

  Although Yao Jianbo has a registered permanent residence in the capital, but his hometown is in the northwest, he said in dialect: "Lu Tingting, you city people, you really know how to play."

  The boatmen in the tourist area are all talkative people, and they chatted up: "Are you all students?"

   "Yeah, we are all prospective college students."

   "Yeah, it's nice to be young. Did you buy a pass?"

"yes."

   "At that time, I will send you to Nanbei City. Your tickets can be used for this scenic spot. After going out from Nanbei City, you will arrive at Wolong Village. You can stay in Wolong Village at night."

  Ding Mu said in vernacular: "Hey, this name sounds like a martial arts style. Boss Chuan, may I ask, what's so interesting about the Nanbei City you just mentioned?"

   "That's a lot of fun. There are performances and sales, but if you have the skills, you can take away a lot of things without spending a penny. They are all very delicate." The boss of the boat smiled.

  Yao Jianbo sneered and said: "I reckon it's another trick by the merchant. It's good if you don't spend more money. What you buy is not as good as what you sell."

   "Don't say that, they must want to make money, and we come out to have fun, so spend some money if you want." Feng Danze was in a good mood.

  Chu Ningchen must have helped Feng Danze speak, saying: "It's okay, spending money for fun is now the norm."

  The boss of the boat chuckled, and the boat went faster again.

   "Question, why do you say shopping instead of buying North and South?" Lu Tingting suddenly asked.

  In ancient times, there were only two markets in Chang’an City, East and West, so Yao Jianbo replied: “Because this word was invented in the Tang Dynasty. Before the Tang Dynasty, there were only East Market and West Market, so it was called shopping.”

"The east market buys horses, the west market buys saddles, the south market buys bridles, and the north market buys long whips. There are Nanshi and Beishi in the folk song Mulan Ci of the Northern Dynasties. The place we will go to in a while is also Nanbeishi. It must not be because of this reason." Ding Mu said.

   "Ding Mu, what's the reason?" Lu Tingting asked.

  Ding Mu thought for a while and said: "Well, I have read a book. There is a saying in it. Although I don't think it is reliable, I can tell you about it."

   Several people focused their attention on listening with great interest.

Ding Mudao: "It is said that once, Zhu Xi, the famous Confucianist in the Southern Song Dynasty who poisoned women in the Great Hua Kingdom for more than a thousand years, saw his friend Sheng Wenru carrying a bamboo basket on the street, and asked:' Where are you going?''Go shopping.' Sheng Wenru replied. My basket can hold it; the south belongs to fire, the north belongs to water, water and fire, this basket can’t hold it. So I can only buy things, not north and south.'”

   "This sounds pretty reliable, how can you say it's not reliable?" Feng Danze asked.

   "Because celebrity stories are generally not very reliable." Ding Mu spread his hands and said.

   "I'm going, this is also an unreliable reason." Everyone chatted.

  Qiu Pingdao: "I have heard of a theory."

   "I would like to hear the details." Ding Mu pretended to say.

"More than two thousand years ago, you all know the story of Zhang Qian's trip to the Western Regions during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. When he went, he bought Eastern things and sold them to the West. When he came back, he bought Western things and sold them to the East. After a long time, people will This practice of buying east and selling west, and buying west and selling east is called buying and selling things."

  This sounds reasonable.

   "Lu Tingting, where's your answer?" Yang Jinghua asked.

   "I didn't mark the answer, I just thought of the question suddenly." Lu Tingting said with a blank face.

   "Hey, I thought you were testing us." Yang Jinghua said.

   "Maybe it's because we've said all the theories she knows, and she has nothing to show off." Chu Ningchen narrowly winked at Yang Jinghua.

   "..." Lu Tingting was speechless, "I'm a pig Ningchen, am I someone like Ding Mu who likes to show off?"

   "Hey, why are you talking about me again?" Ding Mu pouted.

   "That's true." "That's right, that's right." "That's the truth." Everyone chattered.

  Even the most talented Fang Shiyi nodded in agreement.

   "Actually, I'm already very low-key, okay?" Ding Mu rubbed his hair and said bitterly in a long voice.

  Everyone laughed together, even the boss of the boat couldn't help laughing.

   After a while, the boat arrived at Nanbei City Wharf, several people got off the boat, and Lu Tingting paid the boat fare.

  The Nanbei City is still a Lifang-style market. There are square walls and square doors. Several people checked their tickets through the square gate and filed in.

   Not long after, a staff member came over from the ticket office, went to the boat boss’s boat, handed him 100 yuan in cash, and said familiarly: “Look for twenty.”

  The boatman brought a person to Nanbei City and there was still a 10 yuan bonus.

   It turns out that Ding Mu and his party are eight big fat sheep, ha ha.
