Chapter 174, Wu Nong's soft words
Chinese is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world with the most complex dialect differences, including Mandarin, Cantonese, Hunan, Hakka, Min, Gan, Wu and other dialects.
Drunk Wu Yin is flattering.
Wu Nong whispered.
Ye Kai has read many passages and sentences in books that introduce the Wu language, and he has also heard that poetry should be read in Wu language, which can best restore the taste of poetry.
But after coming to Hangzhou for several days, he didn't hear anyone here speak dialects, whether it was the shop owner, the two girls at the homestay, or even the taxi driver, none of them spoke dialects.
The authentic Mandarin made Ye Kai accustomed to it, thinking that Mandarin was spoken here.
But at this time, Ye Kai suddenly realized that this was Jiangnan.
What about Wu Nong's soft words?
This is different from Rongcheng, Rongcheng is speaking dialects everywhere, even if outsiders come to the scenic spot in Rongcheng, many self-employed bosses will use Sichuan dialect to communicate.
It seems that only some large-scale scenic spots recruit workers, and they will give employees unified training in Mandarin pronunciation, or directly have entry requirements.
Well...... And what about the dialects here?
Ye Kai had some understanding of the dialects of various regions of China, and at the same time he received the Chinese reward for punching in Huaxia, which mainly corrected Ye Kai's official language.
That is, it corrected Ye Kai's Mandarin pronunciation, and at the same time allowed Ye Kai to recognize the words handed down in the 5,000-year history of China.
As for the dialect problem, it is estimated that more Chinese rewards will be needed to solve it.
But this did not affect Ye Kai's understanding of this play.
This should be the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in Hangzhou folk tales, who want to go home to visit relatives after three years of classmates, and Zhu Yingtai wants to show his heart to Liang Shanbo everywhere along the way, but refuses to say that he is a woman.
The singing is beautiful and changeable, ups and downs, and every word and deed is full of antiquity. Ye Kai listened very carefully, and he knew that after receiving so many rewards from Chinese culture, he would have to listen to the drama sooner or later.
After about ten minutes of singing, the music stopped and the crowd around them applauded.
The two singers smiled and nodded to the audience, and then talked to their friends in a laughing and whispering voice.
The short performance ended here, Ye Kai listened to the conversation between the two people around him who were practicing in the morning on the Su Causeway, this group of people should be ticket holders 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 to come to the previous paragraph like this, record it as a video and upload it to the Internet.
Ye Kai continued to ride his little yellow car, and his goal today was to use this little yellow car to ride around the West Lake! He calculated, there was a distance of about ten kilometers, and if he looked at it while walking, it was estimated that he would be able to return to the B&B before dark.
At this time, Ye Kai is mobile phone rang with the message that he had received the email.
When he lit up the screen, he saw a series of English, just as Ye Kai expected, a reply from a British publishing house.
He was no longer hopeful.
In the past few days, the manuscript has been rejected by three publishing houses, if others did not read the book and directly rejected the manuscript, Ye Kai would not be so discouraged, but the editor of the publishing house obviously read Ye Kai's manuscript.
Because Ye Kai's self-introduction said that it was the top seller in Huaxia last year, they paid so much attention to Ye Kai's, and when they found that the books did not meet their psychological expectations, even those that could be approved would be returned.
You're a best-selling author, writing fairy tales?
Here's what they think.
Even if this point is regarded as a failure by them, in Ye Kai's opinion, it is the characteristic of this book. But so many people are talking about such problems, Ye Kai began to think about whether the West has any unknown regulations on the types of books?
Maybe they have a rule that 'children can't be the protagonists of adult books'?

Hello, your manuscript has been received, thank you for your support and love of Cambridge University Press. Please prepare the international copyright documents and ...... them by April 31"
"Is this passable?"
Just now, Ye Kai was ready to accept the arrival of another failure. Several rejection letters in the past few days have made him reflect on whether he has taken too many steps?
The magic genre that crosses directly from domestic Chinese to foreign countries, the style of writing has changed so much that it is impossible to see that it is written by the same author.
Magical style, do I have to wait a little longer to get in touch with it?
But after receiving the affirmative information from Cambridge University Press, such suspicions were all thrown away by Ye Kai. Sometimes, people are waiting for such an affirmation.
Ye Kai felt that the scenery of West Lake was more vivid.
........................
Speaking of which, Ye Kai is not a beginner in cycling anymore, when he first learned boxing, through Jing Yue, he met a suitor of hers named Seinfeld.
When Ye Kai and Jing Yue were practicing physical fitness downstairs, Ye Kai could see him every day.
He is a master of bicycles, and Ye Kai has also learned a few tricks from him in his spare time.
Although Ye Kai's learning ability does not need to be mentioned, not to mention that he can ride a dead flight in the park, it is used to ride some rugged mountain roads, which is enough for Ye Kai to completely control the bicycle.
Walking and stopping along the way, seeing several famous scenic spots on the West Lake, Ye Kai circled the West Lake in the evening and returned to the B&B on Beishan Road.
What he was thinking about now was not the wind and snow, nor his own book.
Rather, I thought about the house before I saw it.
The area around West Lake is a controlled area, and it is very troublesome to even rent a house on Beishan Road to do business, but why did Ye Kai see someone living by the lake......?
What is so good about a house with a sea view? The sea breeze is so strong, and the sea water is still corrosive, and a good villa will become the same as an old house of twenty or thirty years in a few years.
The lake-view room is Ye Kai's pursuit today!
Finding a place to park the little yellow car, Ye Kai rang the doorbell in front of the homestay, and after a while, Zhou Yi opened the door for Ye Kai.
"Did you have fun?" asked Zhou Yi.
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 now?
"Over the years, there have been a lot of people working in Hangzhou, and many people have become accustomed to speaking Mandarin for convenience, and I am the same. Only when I return home, I will speak Hangzhou dialect with my family. β
Ye Kai entered the house and changed his shoes, and said curiously, "Then can you say a few words of Hangzhou dialect?"
"Hangzhou's words, so dripping," Zhou Yi changed her language very naturally, and her tone was indeed as beautiful as Ye Kai imagined, she poured hot water into the cup and said to Ye Kai.
"Today, I invite you to try the twisting of money and twisting every dragon gold. β
β......β
Ye Kai...... Got it.
Boiling hot water is poured into the cup, and the emerald green tea leaves swirl and relax along the water.
The unique aroma of Longjing tea permeates the room.
