Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 138 Small Town Adventure
The name on this note is actually not Yu Zhiqiang's, but a man named Yu Zhibing.There is a string of phone numbers under the name, but no job title.

Turn it over and look at the back, it's blank.

Ye Kai put away the note and looked for a car at the station to go to Luzhai.

Dragon City is not a very developed city, or the province of Guangxi is not very developed. Although the economic growth is good, there are very few opportunities to show their faces in the whole country.

Luzhai is in the northeast of Longcheng, the process of taking a car is the same as coming to Longcheng from the airport, going over mountains and ridges along the way.

It was almost five o'clock when Ye Kai got off the car in Luzhai County.

When you walk out of the station, you can see a series of houses. On the right is a real estate under construction, on the left is a residential area, and on the opposite is a residential area. It seems that the entire station is surrounded by a large residential area.

Luzhai is not Ye Kai's destination this time, he is out for dinner, and he has to take a car to continue to a small town in Luzhai.

The final landing point was in a village, but today I must be looking for a place to rest in a small town.

Around the station, you can only see supermarkets at a glance, and there is no place where you can eat hot food.Ye Kai took out his mobile phone to check the map, and found a Guilin rice noodle shop on the right side of the station.

Rice noodles, one of the treasures of Guangxi people.

After leaving Gui Province, you can also see Guilin rice noodle shops in many cities, but there is a certain difference in taste between the way of eating in other places and the place of origin.

Walking towards the rice noodle shop, you can smell a faint smell at least 500 meters away, and the closer you get, the stronger it gets.But instead of getting smellier, it's getting fresher.

Fresh and smelly are constantly intertwined.

Ye Kai walked into the store and said, "Boss, here's a bowl of rice noodles."

"it is good."

People here have a strange accent. A long time ago, people in Longcheng spoke Southwest Mandarin, which is a dialect somewhat similar to Sichuan Province dialect, but after absorbing the pronunciation of Guangdong Province, it is similar to Southwest Mandarin. Not a small difference.

Fortunately, Ye Kai got the Chinese reward from the system at the beginning, so he could understand a small part of the inland dialect.But if you want to improve, you have to go to another country that uses Chinese as the official language to get the reward of Chinese language for the second time.

While waiting, Ye Kai kept frowning as he smelled the stench.

He knew what it was.

Snail noodles.

Guilin's rice noodles, Longcheng's snail noodles.It is a very famous food all over the country. A pack of vacuum-packed snail noodles costs 15 yuan, but on the price list here, two or two sell for seven yuan.

It may taste good, but others will smell really bad.

After the rice noodles arrived, Ye Kai hurried to eat.

When Ye Kai was at home, he often ate rice noodles, but he ate less rice noodles.From the taste point of view, the rice noodles are soft and glutinous. After all, they are made of 100% rice, which is different from the rice noodles with potato flour.

The salty flavor is strong, and there are side dishes such as hot and sour beans, hot and sour bamboo shoots, and the presence of chili oil also enhances the umami taste of the rice noodles.

If there is no such taste of snail noodles, Ye Kai can give this bowl of Guilin rice noodles eight points.Next time, let’s try what the snail noodles taste like, and why so many people are addicted to this dish.

Existence is justified.

As a senior foodie, as long as it is not expired, Ye Kai feels that he can try it.

An hour later, Ye Kai arrived at Yuezhen.

This is a small town without any buildings over 10 floors, most of them are houses built by people themselves, ordinary bricks and stones, with red or white tiles pasted on the outside.

Ye Kai wandered along the streets for a long time, but he didn't find any established communities, at most there were three or five houses in one community.Hidden behind the street, passing through the alley is the community.

Doorman?what is that?
I found a hotel on the main road to put my luggage, and Ye Kai took the camera and walked out to go shopping.Ye Kai has lived in Sweet City since he can remember.There are no relatives in the family who live in the town or the countryside, and after graduation, they work in Rongcheng, one of the top cities in China.

He has never been to such a small inland town, so he feels full of novelty.

Although it was getting dark, there were still vendors driving tricycles on the street, and the carts were full of fruits.Occasionally, some aunts could be seen sitting on the side of the road with a rattan chair in front of them.

After seeing Ye Kai, they shouted: "Handsome guy, shine your shoes."

It turned out to be a shoe shiner.

The smell of snail powder can still be smelled clearly here.

I don't know the reason, the smell of snail noodles can be transmitted to far away places, and Ye Kai can determine the location of snail noodles across a street.The smell is so penetrating.

At this time, a group of people in national costumes came back from outside the town.In fact, nowadays Shaomin seldom wear such heavy clothes at home. Is there any festival today?

When passing by Ye Kai, many people took a look at Ye Kai. Ye Kai's attire looked a bit brilliant in this small town. His carefully groomed hair and the SLR camera in his hand were different from the atmosphere of the small town.

But smile is the most beautiful and friendly lingua franca, Ye Kai understands this very well.He smiled warmly, and the muscles around his eyes contracted subconsciously, bringing a charming smile to Ye Kai's eyes.

"Hello."

Several beauties walking beside Ye Kai looked at each other for no reason, then laughed and said to Ye Kai: "You are also good, who are you? Are you here for tourism?"

"Yes."

Seeing that they answered his words, Ye Kai followed the girls and chatted for a while, he didn't know why so many people came back from outside together.

"What's the event today?"

"There is no activity, we are rehearsing."

"rehearse?"

Ye Kai quickly recalled the festivals in March in his mind, but he only remembered the Youth Song Festival on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, which was not the same as the third day of the third month of the Gregorian calendar.

He suddenly realized a problem.

The third day of March is not far from today.

Ye Kai let out a sigh of emotion, and said, "So it's like this, is it an event on March [-]rd? Rehearsals started so early."

The girls covered their mouths and laughed haha. They still pay attention to their image in front of the handsome guy, and they subconsciously managed to smile without showing their teeth that they would never dare to imagine...

"Yeah, practice early, maybe you'll have a chance to perform in Dragon City..."

"Then I'm late today." Ye Kai said, "I just arrived in Guangxi Province today. To be honest, I haven't seen too many people or houses with ethnic style. Meeting you is my biggest surprise today."

The introverted girl's face turned red immediately, gradually reaching the base of her ears.Only then did Ye Kai realize that he had said something wrong, he quickly skipped the topic and asked:

"Are there a lot of young people here?"

"Not a lot."

Fortunately, there was no one else around them, otherwise Ye Kai would have rolled his eyes, or something else...

If you don't wear this outfit, then these girls are no different from those we see on the streets in the city.What they speak is not their own ethnic language, but Mandarin with the taste of Guangxi dialect.

They would still feel shy when they heard Ye Kai speak so clearly.

It's just chatting, and many times you don't even need to understand all the words to understand a person's meaning.

They were going to the end of the town, Ye Kai didn't follow, but turned around and continued wandering around the town.After consent, take a photo of the aunt who shines the shoes.

Ye Kai stood on the side of the street looking at the photos he just took, but suddenly there was a loud noise not far away, as if a big car tire suddenly exploded, which made Ye Kai's heart jump violently.

The DSLR was not steady, and it fell down the moment Ye Kai let go of his hand.

But fortunately, the strap was hung, otherwise I would feel distressed to death.

Touching the SLR with his hand again, Ye Kai let out a long sigh of relief, and touched the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.

What exploded?Ye Kai thought to himself.

The people around didn't seem to be surprised, and no one looked towards the scene of the incident, but Ye Kai was very curious, and walked around a corner following the sound of the explosion, and came to another street.

There are many clothes sellers on this street, but they are all stalls selling masks, underwear, and small accessories.

The thing that makes the explosion is first around the corner.

A man held a black cylindrical object emitting white smoke and poured it into the basket. The smoke was so strong that it was impossible to see what was poured into the basket.

White smoke drifted past Ye Kai's nose along the wind.

smell good!
The man held an iron rod in his right hand and banged on the black cylindrical iron pot, as if he wanted to knock out the things stuck inside.

The smoke gradually dissipated, and what appeared in front of Ye Kai was... popcorn exuding a strong aroma?

So this is old-fashioned popcorn?
Ye Kai only saw how to make popcorn in the textbook, and this is the first time he has seen it with his own eyes.This thing is so loud, can it really not explode?
Kind of scary.

Not far from the man, a woman was packing popcorn in bags.The way she tied the plastic bag was also different from Ye Kai's. She held the bag by the ear and twirled it a few times before tying a slipknot to seal the bag tightly.

Ye Kai walked towards the woman and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this popcorn?"

"Three yuan a bag."

She put the freshly sealed popcorn on the table and piled it with the others, and asked, "Buy a bag, it's delicious. Many people come to me specially to eat this kind of popcorn."

Ye Kai noticed that there were many people around here carrying corn kernels and waiting in line.

There was a WeChat payment code printed out of paper on the table. Ye Kai took out his mobile phone and scanned the three yuan, and asked the woman, "How long does it usually take to pop such a pot of popcorn?"

"About 10 minutes."

While talking, the man poured some dried corn into the iron pot.

Ye Kai noticed that the containers they used to hold corn kernels were marked with black pens, and they could only hold so much at a time.Ye Kai guessed that any more would cause the explosion to fail?

He hasn't studied the principle of this thing, but it looks very interesting and novel.
