Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

The store is not large, and there are only two waiters in front. One is the guy who takes orders, and the other is an aunt, who is responsible for collecting the dishes and wiping the table.

When there are a lot of people, you have to go to the counter to order, and then pick up the food yourself.

Li Yu and Garrett took on the task of running errands. Xiaoyun also wanted to get up to help, but Garrett stopped her. He said: "Ladies should enjoy the service."

The small shops on the street don't pay much attention to the presentation. A large bowl, a layer of noodles, a layer of side dishes, and fried sauce in the middle are all together.

Pick up the chopsticks and stir, mix the sauce, vegetables and noodles evenly. When you lift it up, you can see that the noodles are covered with sauce.

The noodles are hand-pulled noodles, which are chewy and chewy. The sauce is rich in flavor and rich in layers. The diced pork belly wrapped in it is stir-fried with fat, making it dry and fragrant when chewed. In addition, the side dishes are crispy and make people eat it. Can't stop.

Wenxi thought, if it could be paired with a bite of garlic at this time, it would be absolutely beautiful! Unfortunately, you still have to be reserved during working hours.

Joshua and Garrett had never used chopsticks before, and their fingers looked like they were new and not very flexible.

Joshua joked to himself: "Before I came, I asked Zerlina to accompany me to a Chinese restaurant to eat, just to learn how to use chopsticks. Oh my God, it's so difficult!"

But after taking one bite of the noodles, he no longer lamented the difficulty of using chopsticks. His beautiful sky-blue eyes widened as if he had discovered a new world.

After finishing this bite, he wiped his mouth and praised: "Wow, no wonder many people on the Internet say that country Z is a gourmet land, a simple noodle can be so delicious."

Garrett said: "Sir, I finally understand why so many people on the Internet say that Country Y is a dark cuisine."

Joshua glanced at him: "You are not allowed to slander your own country. The Internet only magnifies the shortcomings."

Garrett buried his head in eating noodles and stopped talking.

Wenxi changed the subject: "Don't think this is just a bowl of noodles. It takes a lot of care to make it delicious."

Her hidden attribute is that she is a foodie, and she talks about it very clearly. After hearing this, Joshua felt like he could make a bowl of it when he went back.

After eating, they went to the first stop on this trip, the Summer Palace not far from Beijing University.

The main thing to visit in Beijing is the royal gardens, and the Summer Palace is one of its representatives.

It is a large-scale landscape garden built near mountains and rivers, drawing on Jiangnan garden design techniques. It has suffered many catastrophes in history and has been restored many times. It is also the most complete preserved royal palace and garden to this day.

From the moment he checked in, Li Yu acted as his tour guide dutifully, from historical trajectory to architectural features, from aesthetic theory to artistic principles, and from symbolism to value impact.

Every major attraction he visited would be explained in detail. Except for asking questions, no one in the group made small talk and everyone was listening carefully.

Li Yu's voice is clear and clear, and his movements have a natural charm. In this time and space that has witnessed history, he leads everyone to appreciate the beauty of craftsmanship embedded in nature.

It even attracted several other foreign tourists who followed them around and listened.

Wenxi once again saw the light radiating from Li Yu. When he was immersed in the things he loved, his seriousness and self-confidence would be particularly prominent, and there would be no trace of inferiority at all.

Wenxi complained in her heart: "She also said that her English is not good. What's wrong with her? What bothers her the most is this kind of humility that doesn't care about the life and death of others." And her eyes showed appreciation.

As they walked in the corridor, Joshua looked at the mottled light and shadow and listened to Li Yu's voice. In a trance, he seemed to really see the history and culture that Zerlina had mentioned.

Every plant, tree, and brick they passed seemed to come alive, telling unknown stories one after another in his ears.

He raised his head, looked at the paintings on the beams, and asked Li Yu: "What is this painting?" Li Yu followed his gaze and saw that it was a figure painting: "This painting is Chang'e flying to the moon." After he answered, he told Joshua this mythical story.

In addition to character allusions, the paintings on the beams also include landscapes, flowers, birds, fish and insects. Each painting is brightly colored and lifelike.

Joshua was deeply attracted by these artistic treasures. He felt that countless inspirations were rushing into his brain crazily, and he wished he could pick up a pen and draw them one by one on the spot.

They wandered around the Summer Palace until evening, visiting almost every tourist attraction there.

When the setting sun poured down from the sky and spread on the Kunming Lake, they stood on the seventeen-hole bridge and quietly looked at the sparkling gilded dream.

It wasn't until the light gradually faded that the group left the Summer Palace.

Joshua didn't even go to dinner and asked the driver to drive directly back to the hotel. He couldn't wait to go back and draw pictures.

I kept drawing until late at night, and then excitedly called Zerlina.

Zerlina's smiling face appeared in the camera: "Dear, are you jet lagged?"

Joshua was very excited: "Dear, thank you for your proposal. This trip has just begun and brought me a lot of inspiration. I am already looking forward to the next trip."

Zerlina guessed as soon as she heard that he must have gone directly to visit the attractions as soon as he landed: "Really, that's great. Where did you go today? The Summer Palace?"

"Yes!" Like a child who has found a treasure, Joshua gushed over the half-day experience with her.

Afterwards, he said: "I seem to really feel what you said, those buildings carrying history, they surrounded me with their elegant artistic atmosphere, and I was immersed in them unconsciously."

Zerlina asked: "Then where are you going tomorrow?"

Joshua said: "Chengde Summer Resort."

Zerlina was slightly confused: "Don't you want to go see the Forbidden City and the Great Wall?"

"There are no arrangements yet," Joshua said. "This time we mainly visit the gardens."

"Well," Zerlina still suggested, "if you have plenty of time, you must visit these two places. They are miracles in the history of human architecture."

After hanging up the phone, Joshua thought for a while and then called Wenxi to change the itinerary.

What could Wenxi do? Of course he listened to him and changed it immediately.

So they spent the next two days visiting the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, and then spent another day at the Chengde Mountain Resort before going to Suzhou.

After visiting the Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden, Joshua was still unsatisfied and asked Garrett to change his flight ticket and planned to stay for one more week.

After discussion, Wenxi and Li Yu took them to see temple gardens near Suzhou and landscape gardens in the suburbs, and finally stopped by a few water towns.

Along the way, he met many men and women wearing Hanfu to check in and take pictures. Joshua wanted to experience it on a whim.

So Wenxi asked Xiaoyun to contact the studio and urgently sent several sets of Hanfu. How could she let go of such a good advertising opportunity?
