travel starts with photography

Chapter 178 The Old Town of the Uighurs

"I've been a little busy recently, and I'm sorry for the lack of hospitality."

Chen Xing ate some fresh fruit with a high degree of sweetness, and said, "Isn't this a good hospitality? To be honest, it was the first time when I was a guest at someone's house that I had so many good things to eat."

He seldom goes to a friend's house alone as a guest, and even if he does, he goes out to eat most of the time.

After all, there are no chefs in his circle of friends, so it's strange that a group of young men in their twenties can cook.

So it was the first time I felt such a rich hospitality.

Hearing what Chen Xing said, Kony said:
"If you came to me a month ago, I would roast the head lamb for you. And don't look at my mother like that. If I wasn't here, she would be more enthusiastic than me, just worried that you would feel uncomfortable."

"You are so enthusiastic, thank you!"

"Is there anything to be thankful for, hehe." He stood up from the opposite side and sat next to Chen Xing, and said, "My best man team is still short of a good person, you say it's just your appearance, stand in front of others, then How many bridesmaids on the other side have to be compared."

"Huh? Am I the best man? I haven't been."

By the way, doesn't the best man have to find Fa Xiao?Although he has a good relationship with Kony, he still shouldn't be dragged to be the best man.

"That's not better!"

Connie said with a smile: "We have a saying here that after being a best man, you will definitely find true love in a short time, and it is especially effective for people who are first-timers, really."

"Is it feudal superstition?"

"You'll know if you try it? It's fun."

Chen Xing was a little hesitant. He saw a lot of weddings where the groomsmen and bridesmaids were punished on the Internet, so being the best man is not serious in itself, but it would be bad if he was punished.

With his temper, it's a big deal to walk away.

But Kony would probably be embarrassed by then.

Seeing that Chen Xing began to hesitate, Ko Ni persuaded him a few more times.

Chen Xing asked: "You don't have any molesting activities here, do you?"

It was only then that Ko Ni realized why Chen Xing hesitated, and quickly said: "You are talking about those vulgar marriage troubles? We have never had such annoying things in Xijiang. By the way, I have seen it on the Internet. You Sichuan Province Have it?"

"Neither does Sichuan Province."

People in Sichuan Province have always been very traditional, and the society has been promoting the hotness of Sichuan girls for decades, which has led to the fact that girls in Sichuan Province are generally more spicy.

Dare to make trouble with the bridesmaids?

Do you believe that the bridesmaid dared to scratch everyone's face?

Kony suddenly sighed and said:
"Don't think of us as a remote area. Although the overall development of our place is definitely not as good as that of the first-tier cities in the mainland, such as your city of Rongcheng, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, etc., the thinking of our people is better than that of many of you in the mainland. They are all open, and those bad customs have long since disappeared.”

"That's not what I meant. After all, I don't know what the marriage process is like in each place."

"It's very simple. Let's all go to my wife's place to pick up the bride, and then stay for one night. We'll pick it up the next day. And don't worry, you're not the only best man, there are more than a dozen of us."

"more than ten!!!"

Chen Xing was shocked.

Sure enough, it is different from the customs in Sichuan Province. They usually have a best man and a bridesmaid in the New Territories.Some people get married a little more, but that's because we are all good friends, so it's not easy to choose one person alone.

In this way, one or two more best men or bridesmaids will be selected, and then the other party will also add one more.

As for more than a dozen, this is the first time Chen Xing has heard of them.

And according to Chinese tradition, good things come in pairs, so wouldn't there be more than a dozen bridesmaids?

Guys, it's time for a football game.

But speaking of it this way, Chen Xing has nothing to worry about, so what are a dozen people afraid of?If there is anything that must be done first, those little fellows in Kony must be on the top. Chen Xing feels that he is also going to make soy sauce.

"That's fine."

"Haha, that's great. I saw the video of you accepting the award abroad. You look good in a suit. We'll wear it that way then."

Kony pulled Chen Xing up and gave him a hug. Chen Xing always felt baffled, why was he so excited just being a best man paddling?What's the use of being good looking?It's impossible for the bridesmaids and best men of the two parties to compete to see who looks better, right?
Although he was a little puzzled, Chen Xing's curiosity also rose.

This wedding is sure to be fun.

At least it was more interesting than those weddings that Chen Xing had attended in the New Territories.

Kony was eating with Chen Xing, and chatted about their local affairs by the way, and when Chen Xing had almost eaten, Kony said, "I'll take you around in the afternoon."

"I can go shopping by myself, you are busy with your work."

Chen Xing saw that he was still working on a new house, so he probably didn't have much time to accompany him to wander around this small town.

Marriage is a big deal, so don't put it off with your own problems.

"Then don't go too far, our city is a bit detoured, I'm afraid you will get lost by then."

Chen Xing shook the phone and said, "Full battery, full signal, haha."

He had just recharged the battery when he was eating, and Chen Xing would not get lost if he could open the map. At most, he would not know the small roads in the city, and he might take a detour on the way back.

Chen Xing has traveled to so many places in the past two years, and now Chen Xing is very good at reading maps.

"That's no problem, my mother will cook something delicious, remember to come back for dinner when the time comes."

Chen Xing made an OK gesture, took the phone camera, took out the drone in the suitcase, and put the notebook in it, fully armed, and was ready to go out.

When you encounter beautiful scenery, you use a camera to take pictures, and when you encounter difficult ones, you also use drones.

If I'm not allowed to fly at night, then it's okay for me to fly during the day, right?
After going downstairs, Chen Xing walked out of the community along the road.

This community is built next to a road in the city. When you walk out, there is a square the size of a basketball court, and then you reach the curb. The road is very wide, with two-way four-lane lanes, plus a fairly wide non-motorized lane.

There were no shops around, otherwise Chen Xing would have bought something and went upstairs just now.

I'll bring something with me when I go back later.

The left side is the way you came here, and you will be in the suburbs after a short walk, so if you want to go to a more prosperous place in the city, you should go to the right.

Click out the navigation and have a look.

Indeed, their current location is actually on the edge of the county seat, but from the map, it can be seen that there are houses like this around here, and the infrastructure construction is gradually keeping up. There is even a project sign on the opposite side of the community, saying that a street center needs to be built garden.

Xian Chen Xing looked ahead and put away his phone.

As long as you know the general direction, there is no need to keep looking at the phone, and follow the navigation when you come back.

Chen Xing clamped the action camera, and by the way, he also clicked on the recording in the system.

The recording of the system is much more stable than that of an action camera. When it is taken out of the mailbox, it is like being propelled by the device. Whether it is turning or walking, it is very smooth and the pixels are clearer.

Street photography has begun.

Although Chen Xing has been developing in the direction of a well-known photographer, this does not affect him as a little grandma on station B.

I didn't join any guild, and only rely on the traffic provided by the website to operate. Up to now, I have more than 70 fans, and the coins have even reached 17.Chen Xing didn't even know how to use up his coins.

However, the coins of the UP master can be exchanged for money.

According to the rules of station B, if 100 coins are exchanged for one dollar, Chen Xing has seventeen thousand here.

a bit less.

So Chen Xing only changed it once before, and then he didn't care about it.

Walking along this street for more than 200 meters, you can see some opened shops under the surrounding houses. Chen Xing found that there are quite a lot of hardware stores. I don’t know if it’s these newly built buildings. Hardware stores are the most profitable. s reason.

The county government building is also here.

This street is quite long, and it should be the main road of the county town in terms of size. Chen Xing walked all the way to a bridge.

Walking across the bridge, the street on the opposite side does not seem to be as wide as this side. When the width is narrowed, it turns to the right with a slight slope, and the houses over there are not planned here.

old Town!
Chen Xing suddenly thought of this concept.

Regardless of whether it is an urban area, a county seat, or a small town, if it is not the kind of town that is completely built by relocated people, it will have its own old city.

Generally speaking, the old city represents the traditional culture of the city, and some distinctive or inherited delicacies can be found in such an old city.

For example, there is a gouache in the New Territories that is very delicious. There is no takeaway software on it, so if you want to eat it, you can only walk over to eat it.

The boss is still an elderly person, and he does not have a WeChat payment code, so he only accepts cash.

Should it be there?
Without even thinking about it, Chen Xing walked over immediately.

In fact, the road here is also well built, but it is not as smooth as before.The houses on both sides are not as planned as before, but they are full of design and beautiful.

The road has been winding up.

It seems that this urban area was originally built on a hillside, but the slope is not as steep as those in Sichuan Province. It is relatively smooth and suitable for building cities.

But now that the city wants to expand, it is obviously impossible to stay on the hillside all the time, so the local government will work so hard to develop the new city outside.

Chen Xing took a lot of photos here.

These houses are so beautiful, with different colors, and the styles of each house are completely different.

It seems like in the countryside, everyone cultivates his own.

But this is obviously not a rural area, and there is no land for them to plant around. The area of ​​the house is fixed, and the local people remodeled their houses with their own ideas when the area could not be increased.

Chen Xing didn't even want to call this place a city.

Look carefully, here is like a fairy tale world.

There are blue houses, pink houses, some families eat late, and now you can still see some cooking smoke floating above the houses.

At this moment, the noon sun is very warm, which is a rare warm sun in winter. Many children who live around come out to play.The sun shines obliquely on the street through the tall poplar trees, making the spotted leaves glow with golden light.

This picture is very beautiful.

Chen Xing hurriedly took a few photos. Although this kind of photo is difficult to sell on the website, if it is made into a video, it will definitely get a lot of likes.

There were also parents who took their children out on the road, holding their hands and talking in Uyghur while walking, and found that Chen Xing was looking at them, and would smile and nod to Chen Xing, which was very friendly.

The whole scene is integrated into a picture scroll of the life of the Uighurs, so real.

Chen Xing also saw an open door on the road. Chen Xing was curious about what the Uighurs’ homes were like, so he looked in from the door.
There are many flowers and grape trellises.

Inside the door is a yard, which is lush in March, with many green plants and many flowers leaning against the corner, and an aunt is watering the flowers with a shower.

What does the left look like?
Chen Xing was a little curious, so he got a little closer, but he didn't expect someone to talk when he got to the door.

"who are you?"

Chen Xing looked over.

On the left hand side of the gate, there is a small pavilion blocked by green plants from the sun. Inside, there is an object that looks like a bed and a table. A little girl who seems to be about 13 years old is looking at him curiously.

Hearing the girl's words, the aunt who was watering also turned around.

She is about 37 or [-] years old, a typical Uighur woman.

"Hello." She first politely said hello, and then said, "Do you have anything to do?"

His voice is very soft, the rising tone of Mandarin of the Uighurs.It stands to reason that Chen Xing should have gotten used to it after two days here, but now that he hears it, he still feels a little guilty.

She won't call the police and catch me breaking into a private house, will she?

He only entered the bureau yesterday, and he didn't want to go in a second time.

So he quickly explained: "I'm a tourist. When I was taking pictures on the street, I saw the beauty of your yard. I walked over without knowing it. Please don't mind."

"Hahaha, I don't mind, I don't mind." Auntie smiled boldly, and said, "Come in quickly, I will introduce these flowers to you, do you know them all?"

Chen Xing just walked through the door and didn't go too far, and said, "I know most of them, but I haven't seen some of them."

"It's normal. Some flowers here are brought in from Russia or Kazakhstan, but not in the mainland. Where are you from, little brother?"

"I'm from Sichuan Province."

The child who looked like he was still doing his homework said loudly: "I know, I know!! There are giant pandas in Sichuan Province!"

Chen Xing smiled. This may be the first impression many people have of Sichuan Province.

In addition to giant pandas, it is estimated that there are Sichuan restaurants that have now occupied all parts of the country.

"Yes, there are giant pandas in Sichuan Province."

"Wow, I really want to see..."

"Then you have to study hard, and you can go to Sichuan Province when you are in college, or travel to Sichuan Province from other places."

The aunt took advantage of the situation and said, "Did you hear that, my brother told you to study hard and write your homework quickly!"

Then I started to introduce the flowers in the yard one by one with Chen Xing. Those flowers that Chen Xing didn’t know the names were also blooming beautifully. It can be seen that Auntie took good care of them with her heart, unlike many people who bought flowers just to buy flowers. Keep it at home, let the flowers grow with the fate.

After about ten minutes, Chen Xing was about to leave.

The aunt stayed and said: "Take another shot, I have other flowers at home, take more shots, I will make you something to eat, don't rush to leave."

"No need, big sister, I still want to take a look around."

Seeing that Chen Xing was not retained, my aunt felt a little pity, but she still said: "Then you can go to the square in front to have a look, it is the most popular place in our place, there are many people no matter day or night."
