Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 621 610. Dai Songkran Festival

Li Xiao secretly rolled his eyes. This person is quite good at talking. Seeing that you noticed it, he will give you a "professional" label first, and want you to relax your vigilance so that he can charge a high price.

The things inlaid on the entire wine glass are all made of plastic, and the only one is real, that is, the amethyst on it is natural.

However, this kind of natural crystal is not worth much at all, but the artificial crystal is more expensive.

What's more, there are not many crystals on it, just a few small ones, which are probably leftovers that the factories that process crystals don't want.

But the silver is real, but impure.

Li Xiao looked at the thing and said it was not worth much, but it looked good, and it would be nice to buy it as a decoration, so he asked the price.

"Brother, I think you also sincerely want it, so how about it, I'll give you a little cheaper."

Li Xiao laughed. This person even changed his name. He was just a little brother, but now he is called a big brother?

"Tell me, how much is it?"

The peddler made a gesture of three with his hands.

"Three hundred, how about it? If it's someone else, I won't sell it for less than five hundred!"

Li Xiao really believed his evil.

"Fifty."

Hearing Li Xiao's offer, the peddler became impatient.

"You cut it too hard, fifty is not enough, it's too low."

Li Xiao shrugged, turned around and was about to leave.

Anyway, it's just a small wine glass used as an ornament. Although it is said that there is silver, but how much is the silver now per gram. It's not pure silver, it's still a vacuum.

And this thing, you can't even drink with it, who knows where the silver came from, and whether there are any harmful substances, if something happens to you, it will be troublesome.

Thinking about it this way, although this thing looks good, Li Xiao suddenly didn't want it anymore, so he walked faster.

Seeing that Li Xiao had really left, the peddler quickly called Li Xiao back.

"Brother! I agree with the price you mentioned!"

Li Xiao smiled and walked back.

"We're only fifty, is there more?"

The peddler was afraid that Li Xiao would leave again, so he nodded quickly.

As soon as he nodded, Li Xiao felt that his price was too high, but it was hard to change after the words had been said, so he had no choice but to buy such a useless little cup.

Seeing that Li Xiao had paid, the peddler recommended some other things to Li Xiao.

"Brother, what do you think of this bracelet? It's simple and elegant, and it's suitable for boys like you. There's also this ring, which I usually don't sell him, and this earring, which you can't wear. Give it to your girlfriend and she will definitely like it." , and this necklace."

The peddler introduced Li Xiao one by one, and at the end he didn't forget to add: "Silver is good for your health. Wearing it for a long time can absorb the toxins in your body."

For this statement, Li Xiaojing thanked Bumin.

But those things look really good-looking, the ring is a simple plain ring, engraved with some characters that Li Xiao can't understand, presumably it should be the unique minority language here.

Li Xiao asked about the price, and the price given by the peddler was much cheaper than the wine glass, but Li Xiao still bought it after bargaining.

After all, in many cases, bargaining is not for the result, but for the process of bargaining.

In the end, Li Xiao took a ring, put it on herself, and picked out a necklace and earrings for her mother.

The peddler was in a good mood when he saw the items sold. After thinking about it, he gave Li Xiao a small silver pendant.

The pendant is in the shape of a small goldfish.

"Brother, this koi is for you, come back when you are free."

Li Xiao saw that the pendant looked pretty, so he accepted it, but he didn't know if it was a koi or not.

Seeing that there were too many things in his hand, Li Xiao began to feel glad that he carried a bag, so he put all the things in his hand into the bag, and then walked out of the alley.

After going out, the first thing Li Xiao saw was the Dai village.

There are many Dai bamboo houses inside, and Li Xiao also saw a white pagoda.

There are many small towers around the white tower, surrounded by the tallest main tower. From time to time, a gust of wind blows by, and you can hear very pleasant wind chimes.

Li Xiao was very curious about this village, so he walked in.

When he just walked into the village, before he could react, he was splashed with water.

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, he wondered whether he was accidentally offended by others or not.

After a while, seeing the people splashing water on each other inside, Li Xiao realized that he was in time for the Songkran Festival!

Thinking about it, it's already the [-]th of April, isn't it just the time for the Songkran Festival?

Seeing that Li Xiao had come to his senses, the Dai man who splashed water on him quickly smiled at Li Xiao, and then asked worriedly if Li Xiao was okay.

Li Xiao didn't speak, and silently took out a bottle of water from the bag, and opened the lid.

Until this time, the Dai man hadn't reacted, thinking that Li Xiao was thirsty, and he didn't react until he felt a cold on his body.

In the Dai nationality, the more water you are splashed with, the more popular you are and the more blessings you receive.

So the man was not angry, but instead warmly invited Li Xiao to go inside.

There are also some shopping stalls here, but most of them sell some Dai costumes. Li Xiao saw that the proprietress was still doing a girl's hair.

Presumably, she was also a girl who came to play. After buying clothes, the proprietress helped with hairstyles.

Do as the Romans do, Li Xiao also bought a set, this stall has a place to change clothes, so Li Xiao went in and changed clothes before coming out.

Compared with girls, there is nothing to do with boys' hairstyles. They simply wrap their heads with a piece of blue cloth, and the proprietress also added some colored silk threads to the part that hangs down from the side.

Wearing such a dress, Li Xiao received a great welcome after he went out. Water was constantly splashed on him. This kind of enthusiasm did not reach its peak until Li Xiao arrived at the splashing water square here.

However, although it is splashing water, the people here are also very measured. They will only splash on the parts below the head, making you play and play, but it will not make you feel unhappy, let alone get hurt.

Looking at the crowd of people splashing water on each other in front of him, Li Xiao felt itchy in his heart.

There is a pile of large buckets next to the square, and there are some portable buckets beside them, which are obviously prepared here for the convenience of others.

After being splashed with another bucket of water, Li Xiao rushed over to fill a bucket full of water, and threw it at the crowd in front of him.

In fact, he didn't know who or how many people he spilled on, but he just spilled it all at once.

Those who were splashed were not unhappy, but they "countered back" even more vigorously.

Not far away, a group of little girls and women are forming a circle, singing the songs of the Dai people, while walking slowly, sprinkling water from time to time in accordance with the rhythm.

The way they sprinkled water was not like the children and the group of men, who poured it out directly, but dipped their hands in some water, and then flicked it out lightly.

Although Li Xiao also wanted to experience this kind of activity, but they were all women, and it would be difficult for him to be a big man, so he could only watch from the sidelines.

Li Xiao made a fuss here for a while, and decided to go to the painting boat to experience it.

A painting boat is actually a kind of boat on the lake. In this kind of place, sitting in a boat and experiencing the majesty of Hu Bo, it is very beautiful to think about it.

Li Xiao was quite lucky. When he passed by, a young couple just got off the boat, so he hurried over.

There are still a lot of people who come here to travel. Generally, if you want to swim in the lake, you can only rely on luck.

Many people have waited here for a long time before they got the chance.

It was also Li Xiao who had sharp eyes, and he happened to see it as soon as one was vacated.

Relying on his height and long legs, Li Xiao successfully snatched the boat.

After playing around just now, Li Xiao was also a little tired.

In addition, it is on the boat, which is constantly swaying, which makes people fall asleep.

The one who punted Li Xiao was a young girl, she was pretty and she was dressed in Dai costumes, but she didn't talk much.

But it was just what Li Xiao wanted. He didn't want to meet a chatterbox. Although it would be nice to have someone to talk with him, the problem was that he was already sleepy.

Just when Li Xiao was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard a "plop".

Listening to the sound, it should be very close to Li Xiao and the others, and Li Xiao even felt a sudden sway of the originally stable ship.

Before Li Xiao could react, he heard someone on the shore shouting "overboard".

Li Xiao was startled, and quickly poked her head out of the boat, looking towards the water.

Not far away, a man was struggling to get his head up in the water, and then sank again.

At that time, Li Xiao's mind buzzed, and without thinking too much, he jumped in and swam desperately towards the man.

The two were not far away, and Li Xiao swam over in a short time. Fortunately, the man was still conscious, and the little girl who was holding the boat quickly rowed towards them.

Li Xiao boarded the boat with the man.

Seeing the man sitting on the boat with a happy face, Li Xiao noticed that his right leg was slightly bent unnaturally.

Li Xiao thought it was the man who accidentally hurt her, but only realized when he saw the man rubbing his legs desperately. This man probably had leg cramps.

After this incident happened, Li Xiao was not in the mood to swim in the lake anymore, so he hurriedly brought the man to the shore, and the man's family took Li Xiao by the arm and thanked him.

Seeing that it was time to eat, he warmly invited Li Xiao to their house for dinner.

Anyway, there was nothing to worry about, so Li Xiao agreed.

While chatting along the way, Li Xiao realized that this man really had leg cramps.

At that time, there were too many people on the shore, and the man only felt that someone bumped into him from behind.

It stands to reason that if it is just hit, it will not fall into the water. After all, there are guardrails around, but the problem is that the guardrail at the place where the man fell may be broken due to disrepair.

And under the very nervous situation, the man was taken aback again, and just about to swim back, his legs cramped.

Li Xiao understood, so he said, how can there be Dai people who can't swim.

However, Li Xiao felt that it might not be that simple that the man was knocked down. Looking at the man's face, he must have known it himself, so Li Xiao didn't say much.

However, Li Xiao originally planned to stay here for a day before leaving, but now he suddenly wants to stay for another two days.

There is no way, it is the nature of Chinese people to watch the excitement, and he is a little curious about the follow-up development of the matter.

Li Xiao followed the man back to his home.

This man has already married his wife. After learning what happened, he dragged the man and questioned him for a long time in fear, and even shed tears. Then he began to criticize the man, complaining why he was so close.

The man didn't speak either.

But when the woman asked, Li Xiao felt a little unusual.

If it is a tourist, it is understandable to be curious about the scenery here, but he is a local, so what's the matter with going so far?
But Li Xiao didn't ask, it was his business after all, so he could just eat the melons in peace.

Because it is the New Year of the Dai calendar, and Li Xiao saved someone again, they specially prepared a table of dishes for Li Xiao, the most eye-catching of which is the hand-picked rice.

I saw a layer of banana leaves on the table, with rice in the middle, including big rice and purple rice, and some marinated eggs on top.

Surrounding it are some side dishes such as chicken feet, shredded meat, fried pork ribs, shrimp, peanuts and cucumber shreds, as well as dipping sauces.

There was also some spicy chicken on top of the rice.

Since it is called pilaf, there are naturally no tableware. Everyone wears a pair of disposable gloves and eats directly.

The man who fell into the water bought the disposable gloves now, they didn't have them at home.

After all, they are not in the catering business, and they are just their own family members who usually eat, so naturally they would never think of matching these things.

The man first grabbed some rice by himself, rolled it into a ball, then dipped it in seasonings, and started eating it with side dishes.

The seasoning should look similar to soy sauce.

Li Xiao also imitated him and grabbed a ball of rice, then dipped it in the seasoning and tasted it.

The seasoning is a little salty and a little sour, but it's not unpalatable.

The man's family was very enthusiastic and kept recommending the surrounding dishes to Li Xiao. Li Xiao was not polite and ate very happily.

After the meal was over, Li Xiao asked them if they had any place to live.

There is no such thing as a place where a house is directly vacated as a homestay.

Because this place is actually not big, people who come here usually go back in one day, so naturally there is no place to live here.

Fortunately, the man who fell into the water knew someone. He was an elderly man. I heard that all his children were working outside. He was the only one at home, and the house was quite big. If he doesn't live here, he still has a new house.

Thank you guys for the monthly pass
