Chapter 1374 Southern Xinjiang Yuelai Inn
Yulong Village, which means a mixture of fish and dragon, actually has another meaning. Fish and dragon are one of the totems of the Li people. This village, located in the north of Shiwanda Mountain in southern Xinjiang, was originally a gathering place for a tribe of the Li people. Thousands of years ago, They were snatched away by the Zhuang people through war. As the Zhuang people gradually
Gradually, they started to live a farming life, and their business was doing well, so over time, this Yulong Village became a gathering place for businessmen from the Middle Earth and the Western Regions.
Although Ye Xiaochuan and others all changed into the local costumes of southern Xinjiang, the team of more than 100 people, all young men and women, was too unsightly to walk around, so at Ye Xiaochuan's suggestion, everyone was divided into three groups.
Ye Xiaochuan and other elite disciples, a total of more than ten people, entered the Yulong Village where they arranged to stay first, and the rest were divided into two groups and entered the village one after another.
The villages in southern Xinjiang are similar to the villages and towns in Central China. Some dozens of families gather together to form a village, which is called a village in Central China.
The Yulong Village in front of us is obviously much larger than most other villages. It is a mountain as high as a thousand feet. From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, it is like terraced fields. There are many houses built on the winding mountain. Since there are many snakes, insects, rats, and ants in southern Xinjiang, the structure of the houses in southern Xinjiang has changed. Very different from Middle-earth.
In addition to stone houses, the most common ones in southern Xinjiang are small wooden loft-like buildings. No one lives on the lower floor, which is usually a pig pen or sheep pen. People live on the second and third floors above. There is a pigsty again, which can effectively prevent snakes, insects, rats, and ants from entering the bedroom.
Walking into Yulong Village, Ye Xiaochuan was stunned by the scene in front of him. Even at dusk, there were still many people coming and going in the winding streets of the village.
He looked at several bearded men from the Western Regions and several people wearing Hanfu walking past. He also looked at the colorful costumes on himself and others, and felt that he and others were just taking off their pants and farting in disguise.
This Yulong Village is very big. Look at the wooden buildings and streets that look like terraced fields all over the mountains and plains. It is almost as big as a medium-sized city in Middle-earth. It is conservatively estimated that there are at least hundreds of thousands of people living here. Walking up the bluestone stairs, you can see many shops opened by Han people, most of which are grocery stores selling cloth, pig iron, vegetables, rice, oil and salt. People of all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang can buy them with silver, but they rarely spend money. Xinjiang's black-toothed coins are mainly circulated among the five ethnic groups, and they do business with the Han people here.
However, bartering is more cost-effective, at least that's what they think in their hearts.
For example, if your family lacks a big iron pot, you can get it with a small piece of blue stone or a small piece of gold ore.
For example, if your own doll has grown taller and needs some brightly colored cloths to make clothes, you only need a small piece of blue stone to get them.
As for the blue stone, which is called jade in the middle-earth population, it is not something that people from the five races should know.
Those Han businessmen traveled thousands of miles to do business in this poor and remote place. If there were not high profits that made them forget about life and death, they would not come.
Soon I found the largest inn in Yulong Village. The name of the inn was written in Zhuang and Chinese characters.
“Yelai Inn”
Seeing this name, Ye Xiaochuan couldn't help laughing.
There are three major chain stores in the world, namely Yuelai Inn, Yihongyuan, and Jiuzhou Bank. Unexpectedly, Yuelai Inn's slogan "Wherever there are people, there is our store's branch" is really not true. It actually has a branch in Southern Xinjiang, and it is the largest inn in Yulong Village.
Ye Xiaochuan suddenly said to the people around him very obscenely: "There is a Yuelai Inn. I wonder if there is a Yihongyuan. Should we go shopping at night?"
There are people who are more wretched than him, such as Li Wendao. After hearing Ye Xiaochuan's suggestion, this guy's head was nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.
Zhao Wuji, the more honest guy, all showed yearning looks, but Chang Xiaoman grabbed him by the ears and carried him away. As for Li Wenwen, who was still mumbling about whether to go to Yihongyuan, he was sent away by Du Chun. He was asked to go out to meet the brothers outside and told them not to hide their heads and show their tails. Don't talk too much in Yulong Village. There are hundreds of Han Chinese, even if there are thousands of them, they probably won’t be very conspicuous.
Come and live in the city.
It looked like there was no chance of visiting the brothel. Ye Xiaochuan and others walked into Yuelai Inn with a lot of pushing and shoving.
As soon as he entered the inn, a waiter came over immediately, speaking in southern Xinjiang dialect that Ye Xiaochuan and others could not understand.
Ye Xiaochuan said helplessly: "Are there any guest rooms?"
The waiter had a look of surprise in his eyes. When he saw these ten people wearing colorful Miao costumes, he thought they were Miao people coming out of the mountains, but it turned out that they were all Han Chinese.
However, the waiter was surprised for a moment, and immediately said in a somewhat broken Chinese language: "Yes, yes, yes, our hotel is the largest inn within a thousand miles. There are many guest rooms. I wonder how many guests need?"
"How many rooms?"
Ye Xiaochuan touched his chin and said, "Fifty rooms."
Of course there are not fifty rooms. Locals in southern Xinjiang rarely stay in inns, only some foreign businessmen. The largest Yuelai Inn only has twenty-five rooms.
Originally, Ye Xiaochuan wanted to live with other senior brothers outside the village, but now it seems that this is no longer possible. Fortunately, there are several smaller inns in Yulong Village. Everyone is staying in Yulong Village temporarily these days. Down.
Ye Xiaochuan booked the entire Yuelai Inn. The original guests also moved out of the inn in disgrace after Yang Shijiu threw out a few dragon head silver notes from Jiuzhou. Ye Xiaochuan and others sat at three tables. While waiting for the dishes to be served, they suddenly heard someone screaming. Turning around, they saw that the waiter flew out from a curtain, fell to the ground and rolled several times. When he got up, his face was covered with blood and he was covering his mouth. It seemed that
some teeth had fallen out and his nose was bleeding.
Then, everyone heard a man's voice, speaking Miao language, and laughed a few times, as if he was sneering at the waiter.
The voice came from a strong man like an iron tower, wearing Miao clothes, estimated to be eight feet tall, with dark skin, eyes like copper bells, holding a giant mountain-splitting axe, a real Vajra warrior who could stand people on his fists and run horses on his arms.
When the axe handle was pounded on the ground, it felt like the earth was shaking.
The giant man walked out from behind the curtain, and the waiter was so scared that he turned pale and ran away.
The giant man laughed a few more times, looked at Ye Xiaochuan and others who were sitting there, and said a lot of words in a gibberish, but Ye Xiaochuan and others couldn't understand and looked confused. After saying it several times, the giant man saw that everyone was looking at each other, thinking that this was looking down on him, and he was extremely angry, and swung the giant axe in his hand and chopped it down on Ye Xiaochuan's head.
