Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 175
Chinese is one of the languages ​​with the largest number of speakers and the most complex dialect differences in the world, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Xiang, Hakka, Min, Gan, Wu and many other dialects.

Wu Yin is charming when drunk.

Wu Nong spoke softly.

Ye Kai has read many books that contain passages and sentences introducing Wu dialect, and he also heard that poetry should be read in Wu dialect, which can best restore the flavor of poetry.

But he has been in Hangzhou for several days, and he has not heard people here speak dialects, whether it is the shop owner, the two girls in the hotel, or even the taxi driver, they do not speak dialects.

Authentic Putonghua made Ye Kai get used to it, thinking that this place only speaks Putonghua.

But at this time Ye Kai suddenly realized that this is Jiangnan.

What about Wu Nong's soft language?
This is different from Rongcheng. Dialects are spoken everywhere in Rongcheng. Even if foreigners come to the scenic spots in Rongcheng, many self-employed bosses will communicate in Sichuan dialect.

It seems that only some large-scale scenic spots are recruiting workers, and they will give employees uniform training in Mandarin pronunciation, or directly have entry requirements.

Hmm... what about the dialect here?
Ye Kai has some understanding of the dialects of various regions in Huaxia. When he got the system, he also received a Chinese reward for punching in Huaxia. This reward mainly corrected Ye Kai's official language.

That is to correct Ye Kai's Mandarin pronunciation, and at the same time let Ye Kai recognize the characters handed down from China's 5000-year history.

As for the dialect problem, it is estimated that more Chinese rewards will be required to solve it.

But this didn't affect Ye Kai's understanding of the play.

This should be the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in a folktale in Hangzhou. After three years as classmates, they want to go home to visit relatives. Zhu Yingtai wants to express his feelings to Liang Shanbo, but refuses to say that he is a woman.

The singing is pretty and changeable, with ups and downs, and every word and deed is full of ancient flavor.Ye Kai listened very carefully, and he knew that after receiving so many rewards from Chinese culture, he would have to listen to opera sooner or later.

After singing for about 10 minutes, the music stopped and the surrounding crowd applauded enthusiastically.

The two singers smiled and nodded to the audience, and then chatted with their partners in a low voice.

The short performance came to an end here, and Ye Kai listened to two people who were exercising on the Su Causeway around him talking about it. This group of people should be fanciers who like to listen to operas, and they have gradually become familiar with them because they have been practicing musical instruments here for a long time.

Occasionally, when I am interested, I will make an appointment like this, record it as a video and upload it to the Internet.

Ye Kai continued to ride his little yellow bike, and his goal today is to use this little yellow bike to ride around the West Lake!He has calculated that there is a distance of about ten kilometers, and if he walks and looks at it, he may be able to return to the hotel before dark.

At this moment, Ye Kai's cell phone rang with the message that he had received an email.

After turning on the screen, what he saw was a series of English words, just as Ye Kai expected, it was a reply letter from a British publishing house.

He had given up hope.

The manuscript has been rejected by three publishing houses in the past few days. Ye Kai would not be so discouraged if others rejected the manuscript without reading the book, but the editor of the publishing house has obviously read Ye Kai's manuscript.

Because Ye Kai's self-introduction said that it was the top bestseller in China last year, they would attach so much importance to Ye Kai's novels. When they found that the books did not meet their psychological expectations, even the novels that could be drafted would be returned.

You are a best-selling author, writing fairy tales?

This is their idea.

Even if this is regarded as a failure by them, it is the characteristic of this book in Ye Kai's opinion.But with so many people talking about this kind of question, Ye Kai began to think about whether there are any unknown regulations on the types of books in the West?

Maybe they have a rule like 'children can't be the protagonists of adult books'?

"Dear Shawn
Hello, the manuscript you sent has been received, thank you for your support and love for "Cambridge University Press".Hereby declare, please prepare the international copyright documents, before April 4th..."

"Is this passed?"

Just now Ye Kai was ready to accept another failure.Several rejection letters in a row over the past few days made him start to reflect on whether he had taken too big a step?
Straight from domestic Chinese novels to foreign fantasy novels, the style of writing has changed so badly that it is impossible to tell that it is written by the same author.

Magical style, do I have to wait a little longer before getting in touch?
But such doubts were all thrown away by Ye Kai after receiving affirmative information from Cambridge University Press.People, sometimes this is the kind of affirmation you wait for.

Ye Kai felt that the scenery of the West Lake was brighter.

........................

Speaking of which, Ye Kai is not a beginner in cycling. When he was learning boxing, he met a suitor named Sein Fei through Jing Yue.

When Ye Kai and Jing Yue were practicing physical fitness downstairs, Ye Kai could see him every day.

He is a master at playing bicycles, and Ye Kaixian also learned a few tricks from him.

Although Ye Kai's learning ability doesn't need to be mentioned much, not to mention that he can ride a dead fly in the park to death, but it is enough for Ye Kai to fully control the bicycle when he is used to ride some rugged mountain roads.

Stopping and stopping along the way, seeing several famous scenic spots on the West Lake, Ye Kai walked around the West Lake in the evening and returned to the homestay on Beishan Road.

What he is thinking about now is not romance, nor his own book.

Instead, I was thinking about the house I saw before.

The area around the West Lake is a controlled area, and even renting a house on Beishan Road for business is very troublesome, but why did Ye Kai see someone living by the lake?In that case, is it possible for me to...

What's so good about a sea view room?The sea breeze is so strong, and the seawater is still corrosive. A good villa will become the same as an old house of 30 or [-] years in a few years.

The lake view room is Ye Kai's current pursuit!

Finding a place to park the little yellow car, Ye Kai rang the doorbell in front of the B&B, and after a while, Zhou Yi opened the door for Ye Kai.

"Did you have fun?" Zhou Yi asked.

Ye Kai nodded and said: "Very good, the scenery here is so beautiful. By the way, I have a question. Don't people in Hangzhou speak Hangzhou dialect now? Why do I keep hearing Mandarin?"

"There are a lot of people working in Hangzhou over the years. Many people have become accustomed to speaking Mandarin for convenience, and I am the same. I only speak Hangzhou dialect with my family when I return home."

After Ye Kai entered the room and changed his shoes, he asked curiously, "Then can you speak a few words of Hangzhou dialect?"

"Hangzhou language? That's great," Zhou Yi changed her language naturally, and her voice was indeed as beautiful as Ye Kai imagined. She poured hot water into a cup and said to Ye Kai.

"Currently, Ni, I ask you to try to get a lot of money and money."

"..."

Ye Kai... I got it.

Pour scalding hot water into the cup, and the emerald green tea leaves swirl and relax along the water flow.

The unique aroma of Longjing tea permeates the room.
