Chapter 712 Water-Based Yanghua Soup

Wang Yan returned the phone to Xu Hongdou and said, "It's really good. If it didn't work, we wouldn't come."

"You're right. Nowadays, people like to share their travel experiences. It may be difficult to say how good a place is, but to say how bad a place is, it's hard to even think about it."

Xie Xiaochun stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I am Xie Xiaochun, hello."

The two shook hands with her respectively, and Xie Xiaochun asked curiously: "Are you two together?"

Xu Hongdou shook his head and said, "No, I just met him by chance in Dali. I took his car and found out that we both booked the Feng Xiaoyuan."

Seeing Xie Xiaochun looking at him with a smile, Wang Yan laughed: "Everyone has a love for beauty. Haven't scientists done statistical experiments? It is said that if a man looks at a beautiful woman for ten minutes a day, he can live four to five years longer. I This is serious health care.”

Is Xu Hongdou really that peerless? Certainly not. Her figure is not very tall, and in terms of appearance, she is as tall as a mountain. She is indeed beautiful, but she is not stunning. Although Xu Hongdou is now thirty-two years old and in a well-maintained natural state, it is still not to the point where it really makes people unable to walk.

It's just that when Wang Yan was twelve, thirty or four years old, he saw an image of him dressed in white and full of fairy spirit, which was really unforgettable. People's memories always have an extra layer of filters, so Xu Hongdou looks very different. After all, among men of about the same age, who hasn’t had the dream of a dragon knight? Of course, not everyone thinks so, and Zhao Ling'er is also a favorite of some people who don't want to blaspheme.

To sum up, Xu Hongdou left such a deep impression on people that a person who was not that outstanding had a halo in the eyes of some people.

Xu Hongdou rolled his eyes: "Don't listen to his nonsense. He is a photographer and wants to make me a free model."

"Isn't that because you are beautiful?" Xie Xiaochun laughed, "Okay, let's not talk about it here. You can't get into the car inside, so you have to walk hard."

"I was just taking pictures. Wait a minute, I'll get my luggage."

Wang Yan moved swiftly. He first opened the back door and put his computer, camera, and lenses into a large backpack. Then he opened the back bucket and took Xu Hongdou's suitcase and one of his own suitcases. Then he locked the car and stood there with a suitcase in each hand.

Xu Hongdou was a little embarrassed: "How about I take it myself?"

"There's still some distance to go, can I help you carry a bag?" This is Xie Xiaochun. After all, she is the owner of a B&B, so she should also take care of her customers.

Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, then stretched his arms lightly and said, "It doesn't matter, my body is fine, let's go."

"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Hongdou gave a thumbs up, which meant to praise Wang Yan for his physical strength. After all, she knew best how heavy the suitcase was.

Xie Xiaochun smiled and said, "Then let's go." After that, he turned around and led the way, pointing to nearby buildings and introducing them along the way. I met acquaintances on the road, and they all greeted me warmly. They said that Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou were the new tenants of the courtyard, so they looked familiar. After all, the rent of Youfeng courtyard starts from three months, and there was no staff turnover. It's not big. You can make some money by selling favors.

The distance from the village entrance to Youfeng Xiaoyuan is indeed not that close. Along the way, Xie Xiaochun introduced the two of them and chatted happily. After about ten minutes of walking, they had a clear understanding of the general situation of Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou. At the same time, I also didn't forget to pass by the windy little restaurant she ran, which was a coffee shop that also sold some simple food, so I didn't forget to attract business.

Xu Hongdou took photos with her mobile phone, everything she saw was new.

Although I don’t know the specific time Xu Hongdou came here, it is obvious that because Wang Yan took her half a circle around Erhai Lake and drove directly to the village, the male protagonist Xie Zhiyao from the beginning was no longer there. My younger brother Xie Zhiyuan, because he pooped his pants in public at school, ran to his hometown out of shame and chased Xie Zhiyuan's horse. As a result, he bumped into Xu Hongdou and broke his cell phone. Thus, the first contact between Xu Hongdou and Xie Zhiyao ended.

Although there will still be intersections in the future, the accumulation of changes in some small things is enough to break a marriage. This is Wang Yan's idea that he doesn't need to hide. It's okay if he doesn't come. Now that he's here, there's no reason why he, Wang, can't be a dragon knight.

Humans always have some dirty and dark thoughts. Manifested in men, it is nothing more than waking up to seize power in the world and lying drunk on the knees of beautiful women. Obviously, most people can't even dream about seizing power in the world. That is ignorance of the power system, just like the old farmer said about the emperor. A gold hoe is usually used for farming, so most of the time there is only a little more to do. Without this, perhaps many novels like this book would have lost their existence...

Speaking of which, Xie Zhiyao acted like a saint. He gave up his investment banking job in the capital and his promising future and returned home to revitalize the countryside. He would go wherever there was business in and outside the village, taking over the various businesses of the yellow stalls in the village. He also laughed off the incomprehension and gossip of many people in the village, and put himself in their shoes to help them consider their plans.

But it is reasonable. After all, there are always such people, and TV dramas, movies, etc. are all art higher than life. The non-existent Yunmiao Village, which combines many beautiful scenery, was created out of nothing, so it is not necessary to have such a saint. It has become inevitable. Moreover, this drama is also in line with the general environment of rural revitalization, as well as the new generation of the party, such as college student village officials stationed in the village, who are dedicated to the countryside and towns, and the current young people who are intolerant of social pressure and want to self-exile and seek another life. The current situation is generally pretty good.

Not to mention movies, TV series, any people and things, as long as you want to find faults, there will always be a lot of them. So although this drama is light and there is no strong conflict, it is still okay. It's much better than having company executives and small workers living in the boss's house, talking about what men are like, all kinds of luxury brands, and all kinds of green tea.

Looking at Xu Hongdou who was happily taking pictures with his mobile phone, Wang Yan, who was lagging behind with his suitcase, smiled and looked at the environment here leisurely.

There are paths paved with stone slabs, with occasional moss growing on some of the slabs. There are antique buildings with white walls and green tiles and wooden structures. Some houses have walls and steps piled with stones in various irregular shapes. The overall shape is square and flat. This unremarkable stone wall matches the surrounding environment. Compared with other places in my mind where I have lived for a long time, it looks different. Even though his hometown has similar stone walls, he still feels that the walls here are different, which is a subconscious sense of freshness.

Occasionally, there are older women with embroidered cloth wrapped around their heads, wearing light blue tops, black velvet collars, silver ornaments hanging on the right lining knot, and embroidered short apron tied around their waists. waist, wearing wide trousers and embroidered shoes. They all wear various bracelets, some made of jade, some made of silver, etc. There is no doubt that this is the costume of the Bai ethnic group, because the full name of Dali is ‘Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture’.

Just talking and laughing all the way, turning a few corners and walking a few roads, Xie Xiaochun finally stopped in front of a house. She pointed to the plaque on the door frame that read 'Windy Courtyard': "Here we are, this is Youfeng Xiaoyuan, come in."

Xu Hongdou and Wang Yan, who was left at the end, followed them in and entered the scene. In addition to the furnishings that had a sense of being in the courtyard, they were on a platform made of rocks and under a large parasol. A greasy middle-aged man with a round face, long hair, and a 108-bead Bodhi hanging around his neck. Wearing loose training clothes, he was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, meditating.

"This is..." Seeing this situation, Xu Hongdou was a little confused and looked at Xie Xiaochun with some confusion.

"Ah ha, he is the tenant who lives in Room 2. His name is Ma Qiushan, and everyone calls him Ma Ye. He likes to meditate and practice Baduanjin on weekdays. Now that he is meditating, he is immersed in He is in his own world, and he can’t feel anything we say.”

Xu Hongdou raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth slightly, nodded and said: "I understand, I understand."

While talking, he didn't forget to look at Wang Yan. This is because they are the only two people who are foreigners and will be in another unfamiliar environment. They subconsciously have a natural sense of intimacy with people they are still familiar with. That's why she exchanged glances with Wang Yan, expressing her incomprehension of Ma Qiushan's behavior and her desire to watch the fun and share it with others.

Wang Yan also looked at her with a smile, and even raised his right eyebrow, he understood.

Ma Qiushan used to do business in the capital. He once attracted investment from Xie Zhiyao's investment bank. Although it failed, he formed a friendship with Xie Zhiyao. Later, my business failed and I went bankrupt. I was so disheartened that I came here to heal my wounds. Although the way it is now is a little bit wrong and a bit artificial, but that's it, there's no big problem.

"Let's go, take you to your room." Of course, Xie Xiaochun also saw the two exchange glances, and led the way up the steps with a smile, and said: "This yard looks quite big, right? In fact, this place is not a single place. The homestead is three yuan. The year before last, we rented this place, renovated it, and built a small bed and breakfast like this.

There are six rooms in total, and this one is room six, which was booked by Hongdou. Brother Yan and Hongdou are next to each other in Room 5. It's a coincidence that the previous tenant of Room 5 stayed there for five months, and you made the reservation two days after he just checked out. Now all six rooms in our courtyard are occupied. If you still want to renew the lease after three months, tell me half a month in advance so that I can announce it in advance and try to make the connection as seamless as possible. Come and see how it goes. "

Wang Yan followed the two of them into the house. It was a B&B. It was of course clean, and there were some small tricks in the decoration, with some regional characteristics, creating such a light and luxurious feeling. It looked good.

"Here are the couriers you sent before. I helped you pull them from the collection point. You can check them later. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. This is the key to your room door lock. Put it away."

Of course, this must be made clear. Xie Xiaochun kindly helped to get it here. If any of the treasures got bumped, it would be a troublesome thing. She takes responsibility for things she should bear, and helps solve problems if she doesn't.

Seeing Wang Yan put down Xu Hongdou's suitcase, she said, "Let's go, wait until Brother Yan puts away his luggage, and I will introduce you to our courtyard."

"good."

Xie Xiaochun led the two of them to Wang Yan's room next door. The layout was similar to Xu Hongdou's room, with tables, chairs, benches, beds, all the necessary things, and the area was not small, quite spacious.

After putting down their luggage, Wang Yan and Xu Hongdou went out with Xie Xiaochun again and walked around the yard, introducing the public toilets, bathrooms, kitchens, areas for drying clothes, etc.

In fact, the problem of toilets and bathrooms is one of the reasons why the room prices here are not so expensive. However, the toilets and bathrooms here are quite large, and the toilets and bathrooms are divided into men's and women's. They are squat toilets, the space is not small, and they are kept very clean. To the greatest extent possible, some messy problems can be avoided, such as some people are not comfortable with it, some people install cameras and so on, and they are more thoughtful.

At the same time, it also saves costs to the greatest extent. After all, it is more cost-effective to build separate toilets and bathrooms for men and women than to build separate bathrooms for six rooms. Moreover, the passenger flow here is far behind compared to the areas around Erhai Lake outside. If the house price is set too little, the profit will be slow. If the house price is set too much, no one will come. Considering all things considered, this is reasonable and cost-effective.

After the introduction, Xie Xiaochun still had work to do in his shop. They were the only coffee shop in the village. No matter how few tourists there were, there were still some who would wander in by chance. Not to mention how good the business was, but it wasn't bad either.

This shop was also taken over by Xie Zhiyao, and the previous coffee shop was also going bankrupt. In addition, there are embroidery, tie-dye, horse racing, etc., all of which are like this. Youfeng Xiaoyuan and Youfeng Xiaoguan are jointly established with Xie Xiaochun. It's not a small industry after all.

Seeing Xie Xiaochun leave, Xu Hongdou said: "Photographer, it's going to be noon soon. Can I treat you to lunch later? Thank you for bringing me here and taking a tour of Erhai Lake."

"We are all children of the world. We don't stick to trivial matters. Don't be so polite. We just made such a happy decision. Just now I saw a store with water-based Yanghua Soup written on the door..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Hongdou clapped his hands and answered: "I want to go together. I just want to have a try at their house. Let's go back to the room to clean up, and then we'll set off after we're done."

"Okay." Wang Yan nodded with a smile.

How could there be so many coincidences? It was just that he already knew it.

Xu Hongdou came here to travel because her best friend named Chen Nanxing, who she had played with since childhood, died of pancreatic cancer. She was a little stimulated and after hearing Chen Nanxing's last words, she thought of resigning and relaxing. And because when Chen Nanxing was alive, he always wanted to visit Dali, so she also came to show Chen Nanxing the scenery he had never seen before.

The water-based Yanghua Soup was something Chen Nanxing had talked about to Xu Hongdou by chance before, and she remembered it in her heart. I saw such a name when passing by before, and of course I wanted to see how water-based flowering is done.

Wang Yan's favorite line in the whole play is what Chen Nanxing said, 'The wind really comes from all directions and blows randomly'...

Back in the room, Wang Yan opened the window to let some air in, laid out the new bedding that Xie Xiaochun had bought in advance, opened the suitcase, took out the clothes and shoes inside and put them away, and put away the computer and camera lenses. , took out the sachet to repel mosquitoes and flies and hung it on the bedside. This is considered tidying up.

Of course, these things of his were arranged by his living father. As for his background and seven years of travel experience, they were all made up of nothing. In fact, when he came over, he was sitting in the cab of the Raptor waiting for the red light. All he could see was Xu Hongdou standing on the roadside...

He didn't have a lot of things, so he packed them up quickly. Xu Hongdou's room was full of large and small bags, as well as a very heavy suitcase. Obviously, he couldn't finish it in a short time.

So he simply searched for his camera and lens out of boredom and got ready. He called himself a photographer, and his father provided him with all the equipment. It was unreasonable not to go out and take pictures.

He picked up the computer and tinkered with it for a while, and saw that the time had reached 11:30. He guessed that Xu Hongdou had almost finished packing. He hung a camera with an attached lens around his neck, picked up a mosquito and fly repellent sachet, and went out. Walk towards the next door.

He didn't lock the door, so he just met. There are several surveillance cameras in this courtyard, with many angles. It is obviously stupid to open the door to do business and pin everything on people's virtue and quality. If it were really so harmonious, at least half of the messy news in the country every day would be gone.

Xu Hongdou didn't close the door, and was standing in the room with her arms akimbo in a daze. She was enjoying the fruits of her hard work, and she was also thinking through her head to see if she had missed anything, and perhaps missing her friends.

Wang Yan leaned against the door frame and looked at Xu Hongdou's dazed back quietly.

After a while, Xu Shi noticed the gaze behind him. Xu Hongdou finally came back to his senses and looked at the smiling Wang Yan with wide eyes: "How long have you been here?"

"Five or six minutes." Wang Yan threw the sachet that was spinning in his hand, "Hey, this is for you."

Xu Hongdou caught it in a hurry, turned it over and looked at the delicate sachet, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, and asked in confusion: "Why are you giving me this?"

"The environment here is good, with many flowers, plants and trees, and of course mosquitoes are indispensable. This is a sachet I prepared. It has a fresh, natural and non-irritating smell, is harmless to the body, and can repel mosquitoes and flies."

"I haven't thought about the problem you mentioned, thank you." Xu Hongdou held up the red string on the sachet and let it hang in the air, "Do you still understand this? Is it really useful? How about we buy it again? Spray it with some insecticide or something."

"I have traveled all over the country, been to jungles and wilderness. Although I don't often use the tent on my car, I will occasionally find a place with good scenery to camp when I am in the mood. If it doesn't work, I will give it to you? Don't worry, this is what a big brother taught me a few years ago, and I have relied on it for so many years. You will know whether it works well tonight. If it doesn't work, I will cover your meals for a week."

"That's settled." Xu Hongdou smiled, took the sachet and hung it on the head of the bed, picked up her own small bag, and also got a camera to hang around her neck, walked out and locked the door, "I guess you must have been hungry after carrying the box for so long? Let's go and have a meal and see the water-based Yanghua soup."

Wang Yan followed her down the stairs with a smile, passed by Machu Mountain, where he was still meditating, and walked out of the door with her laughing...
