Chapter 50 Tour Guide
So he ordered a cup of hot milk, a portion of sucrose and an empty cup. He mixed the two cups of coffee sent by the store and divided them between himself and his cousin.
Lu Qiao and Jin Cancan watched Zhou Zhi doing tricks there. Jin Cancan grabbed his cousin's cup first: "Let me have a try!"
Lu Qiao was not polite and grabbed Zhou Zhi's cup: "I'll try it too!"
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to ask for milk and sucrose again, and now there was no fighting over it.
"This is much better." Jin Cancan gave Zhou Zhi a thumbs up: "We will do the same in the future."
Lu Qiao asked curiously: "Zhou Zhi, I was curious when I saw your interview last time. Why does your Mandarin have a northern accent?"
"Hmm!" Jin Cancan held the cup and held a straw in his mouth: "It also tastes like Tianjin!"
Zhou Zhi had no choice but to say: "Uncle Yu downstairs likes to listen to cross talk, and I learned Mandarin from cross talk."
"The sharp voices of Ma Ji and Jiang Kun I don’t like the Tianjin accent very much... It was probably given to me by Mr. Ma Sanli..."
"Is that so?!" The three girls laughed as if they had heard something funny.
"Where should we go after drinking coffee?" the cousin asked the other two girls.
“Let’s go to the Confucian Temple.” Zhou Zhi was afraid that they would suggest playing bumper cars or something, so he quickly spoke.
"The Confucian Temple is okay, there is a temple fair there." Jin Cancan said: "There are a lot of delicious food!"
"Then go to the Confucian Temple!" The cousin nodded.
The purpose of Zhou Zhi's visit to the Confucian Temple was not the delicious food and excitement that the girls thought, but "Jingcheng Confucian Temple Jiaxichuan". He really wanted to see this ancient building complex that was rarely preserved intact and is now authentic.
After drinking the drinks, everyone rode towards the Confucian Temple again.
It was still in the new year, and it was really lively outside the Confucian Temple.
You have to buy tickets for the Confucian Temple. The girls will not spend such a waste of money. They only want to play outside and have no intention of going in.
Zhou Zhi took the initiative to buy tickets and distribute them to everyone.
Jin Cancan saw that one ticket was missing: "Huh? Where's your ticket?"
Zhou Zhi took out the membership card of the Provincial Writers Association: "I don't need it, I have this."
Cousin He grabbed it and said, "What is this? Why can't I buy a ticket if I have it?!"
Zhou Zhi finally At this moment, I can feel proud in front of the scumbags: "With this, you can enter all tourist attractions in the country, not counting sightseeing, but collecting style."
"Really?!" Lu Qiao and Jin Cancan put their heads together with their cousin: "Then this certificate is quite valuable!"
Writing articles and publishing works is nothing in the eyes of girls.
Only being on TV is worthy of envy, and that is just a matter of gust of wind.
The so-called identity of a writer was mostly used to tease Zhou Zhi by his sisters.
Now Xu Anxin also looks at Zhou Zhi with admiration. He slapped his ID card on his chest, raised his chin and proudly declared his sovereignty: "Did you see that? My brother!"
" Let's go and try to see if it's true..." Jin Cancan immediately became excited: "Your brother and others used to go to the Confucian Temple to climb over the wall at the back..."
"Cousin An Ran is still interested in the Confucian Temple?" Zhou Zhi felt very surprised.
“Well, because there are good crickets in the Confucian Temple.”
“…”
For girls, the Confucian Temple is indeed not fun because they don’t understand.
It’s different this time following Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi acted as a tour guide and told everyone about the imperial examination system, the origins of the Confucian Temple, its layout, mural stories, and the origin of calligraphy...
The scale of the Jingcheng Confucian Temple is quite large, and the regulations are also very high. The bright yellow glazed tiles and glazed tiles on the outermost "Wanren Palace Wall" are not what ordinary places in ancient times could use.
Nowadays, there are no tour guides in various tourist attractions. Even if there are, the professional level is not impressive. Most of them simply introduce the scenic spots, and the details inside are less than one in ten.
Starting from the etiquette of Lingxing Gate, Panchi, and Panqiao, all the way to Jimen and Liyue Pavilion, besides Yang and the others, Zhou Zhi was surrounded by a lot of people who were taking advantage of the tour guide. .
When he arrived in front of the Dacheng Hall, Zhou Zhi stopped talking and said directly to the crowd: "This is the free talk. If everyone is willing to continue listening, one person can join."
"Here. It is the Dacheng Hall, followed by the Qisheng Hall, the Daoguan Ancient and Modern Square, the Depei Tiandi Square, the East and West Royal Stele Pavilions, and there are many more, which are even more exciting than the ones just mentioned.”
My cousin is not good at studying, but that does not mean that she is not clever. She rolled her eyes and said, "The lecture was so wonderful. I will pay fifty cents!" "childcare" stuff, I just feel that listening to Zhou Zhi’s talk this time is worth it, otherwise I would come in and look at it blankly without understanding what it is about: “Then I… I’ll pay fifty cents too.”
Lu Qiao and Jin Cancan were both dumbfounded. Is this... tricking a dog into killing him? Want our ticket money back?
If I had known, I wouldn’t have come in!
Can't stand Xu Anxin's old enthusiasm: "Give me money, give me money! How can anyone listen to a lecture and not give me money?!"
There were twenty or thirty people around, including a few middle-aged men in Zhongshan uniforms who looked like leading cadres, and they generously gave me five yuan. A middle-aged man also said: "Nowadays, we all talk about distribution according to work. This classmate has worked hard to explain the knowledge of the Confucian Temple to us. I think this money should be given!"
< br>"Furthermore, the little classmate studied the Confucian Temple in such detail. This kind of study Xi Jinping’s spirit is worthy of our imitation and reward!”
The actions of a few people caused the surrounding people to follow suit. They all have the mentality of foreign monks - this time it is worth it, after all. This kid's words are indeed good, and besides, his requirements are indeed not high.
Otherwise, if you come in and look around, you really won’t understand anything.
Zhou Zhi received thirty or forty yuan and bowed to everyone with a smile: "Thank you, uncles and aunts, and thank you brothers and sisters for supporting my work-study study. Then I will continue."
"If you see anything wrong, I understand, feel free to ask questions. As long as I know something, I will tell everyone so that everyone will not spend this money in vain.”
Drink! After collecting the money, the service level was immediately improved!
Then it was time for the performance. People these days are extremely lacking in knowledge of traditional culture. If nothing else, not many could understand the allusions in the couplets outside the palace.
After all, the people who are willing to spend money to visit are those who are somewhat interested in these things. Zhou Zhi's random talk about astronomy, geography, couplets and official system also made those who followed his explanations fascinated.
Many people asked questions, but he couldn't help it, such as why there is a Panchi in the Confucian Temple, why the Panchi is half-moon shaped, why there is a Pan Bridge in the middle of the Panchi, and so on. Zhou Zhi was able to learn from "the benevolent are happy with water". "Water is used to compare virtue", "Kong Ze has a long history", "Fish leaps over the dragon gate", "The Book of Songs" and "Book of Rites" explain it in many directions.
Finally coming out of the back door of the garden, the middle-aged cadres were satisfied and at the same time taught them earnestly that they should study hard and make contributions to the country when they grow up.
When the crowd dispersed, Zhou Zhi took Yang He to the front door. His cousin and best friends had already sneaked here to wait.
Zhou Zhi refunded all the money he had just collected from everyone and said with a smile: "Now the expenses for the treat have been settled."
"But your cleverness will not kill you!" My cousin praised highly: "I just counted more than forty people! I want to have a good meal tonight!"
"How smart is my cousin? If you hadn't made the proofs, I wouldn't have been able to collect the money."
"Let's go! We must eat hot pot! Hurry up and grab a seat!"
Hot pot The store is considered a new thing now, and the business is extremely hot. Not long after Zhou Zhi and the others sat down, it was packed to the rafters. There were long benches lined up at the door, and many people were sitting outside waiting.
It is rare to fight such kind of cousins and girlfriends. They mostly sell skewers on the street. Now I dare to say that I have entered the palace.
Only now, Zhou Zhi realizes that the three sisters can eat a lot, and girls who have small appetites are all lies, or they are lying to themselves!
In front of the hot pot, all the truth is exposed.
However, prices are really cheap now. Even if the building is opened, everyone will go out one by one holding on to the wall, and the tour guide fee has not been spent yet.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhi finally drank the Tianfu Coke he had been longing for.
“It’s no longer possible…” My cousin lamented, holding on to the bicycle: “I can’t ride it anymore, I have to push it around.”
“That’s when I had an appendix surgery, and it was alive. Lessons.”
So everyone gathered together and moved back slowly until they crossed the Jingyang Bridge, and then they almost recovered. They said goodbye to each other under the street lights at the end of the bridge and rode home.
Back at San Ma’s house, San Ma has come back, and cousin An Ran is also there.
Smelling the smell of hot pot all over his body, An Ran’s cousin imitated his mother’s Jiachuan dialect: “Yeah, An An is holding a big reception for this dish! He won’t fall down!”
Zhou Zhi smiled : "Hello, Mistress, hello, Cousin An Ran. Cousin An Ran, your jeans are so beautiful!"
"What kind of jeans are you wearing? Work clothes!" Cousin An Ran was happy: "I like to give you one. Set! ”
In fact, it is really a denim suit, and it is still a casual suit style that is rare nowadays. However, the motor factory is very profitable and treats it as labor insurance.
Cousin An Anxin smiled and said: "I can't afford the hot pot. Zhou Zhi invited me today..."
The third lady frowned after hearing this: "How can I be a sister like you? ! Is this Zhou Zhi’s classmate? Welcome, Miss San will open a canned fruit for you!”
Yang Heda He burped: "Uh... Hello, Mistress, I... I really can't eat anymore..."
My cousin started to talk about today's magical experience: "Mom, you didn't see it. We went to the Confucian Temple this afternoon. He made more than 40 yuan by clicking his elbows all afternoon!”
"How do you earn it?" The third lady was shocked: "You support me for ten days a day?"
"Just talk about it!"
"That's called a tour guide. You have to make excuses for my cousin. Like a lotus falling! ”
< br>My cousin smiled and said: "Elbow, I heard that you brought a fishing rod to my dad?"
"Yes! This fishing rod is not easy to come by." Zhou Zhi ran into the bedroom and took the fishing rod. Come out: "This."
The living room is too small and the fishing rod cannot be assembled and used, but the paint on the surface also made my cousin admire: "This skill is amazing, better than car paint! Is this hand-pushed paint?"
"Yes, There are three types of lacquer, with nineteen layers. Each layer needs to be polished with fine flour. The last few layers don’t even use flour, just handmade.”
My cousin imagined the complexity of the craftsmanship and said, “It’s amazing! I have to be convinced!” Are you convinced by Anran?" His uncle's voice sounded outside the door.
