787 Sweeping handicrafts
For Xia Guo once helped Laos, everyone was surprised and full of pride when they heard Zhang Yang say this at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be a big deal, after all, Xia Guo, the big brother, still took care of many younger brothers.
Looking at the people coming and going on the stairs on both sides, Zhang Yang took He Xiaoman and walked straight to the stairs where the tourists on the right were ascending, admiring the ancient and artistic wall carvings and the T-shirts hanging on the wall waiting to be sold, and at the same time did not forget to say to the people in the live broadcast room very proudly.
"If we put it aside in the early years, we may still be doing our best to develop ourselves, but now, as the power of Xia Guo is getting stronger and stronger, the voice of Xia Guo is becoming more and more valued in the world.
In fact, as long as you pay attention to the current news, you will find that there are many reports of our country showing the demeanor of a great country, I don't know what everyone thinks, anyway, every time I see relevant reports, I can't help but proudly say: Awesome, my country!"
took He Xiaoman all the way to avoid the upward crowd, and the two came up to the handicraft area on the second floor, just when they heard Zhang Yang say this, He Xiaoman couldn't help but nod in agreement.
"Yes, as the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky said: a truly great nation will never disdain to play a secondary role in humanity, or even a first-class role, but must play a unique role.
Some time ago, I read a comment from a Western strategist saying that the rise of our country to become a great power will be one of the most important development trends in international relations in the 21st century!
Sometimes I'm really proud to be born in a flower planter!"
The people in the live broadcast room listened to Zhang Yang's conversation with such feelings, and then recalled Xia Guo's strides towards a big country over the years, and also expressed their pride with barrage one by one.
"That's right, I'm proud to be born in a flower planter!"
"I will die in this country in this life, and I will come in the next life!"
"Imagine the Ebola epidemic in 2014, when lives were devoured, and at this time of crisis, our country extended a helping hand and set up a medical team to aid Africa, which is really a big country's responsibility!"
"It's not like a certain world policeman, who only knows how to make trouble all day long, and has no consciousness as a big country at all!"
"There seems to be a female doctor in the medical team that year, and after receiving the order, she entrusted her sick mother to her sister and arrived at the medical team on the third day.
"From the previous catch-up to the current level, I especially hope that when we surpass, some people will look in shock and fear. ”
......
If the first floor inside the Arc de Triomphe is basically the home of various clothing and commemorative shirts, then the second floor is dominated by various handicrafts.
Because it is a scenic spot, so Zhang Yang took He Xiaoman to walk around, and found that the price of the things sold here is also slightly higher, came to a stall, looked at the two rosewood Chinese dragon statues placed on the stall, Zhang Yang Zhang Qi took it in his hand and felt the texture and weight, and decisively paid for it, although the price here is higher than that of other places, but it is also cheaper than in China.
"Handicraft industry is a more developed industry in the economic development of Laos, and the handicrafts produced here are generally more exquisite, quite distinctive, just like the Chinese dragon carved out of rosewood in my hand, which can be regarded as a good interior ornament.
Rosewood has extraordinary characteristics, which is not easy to crack, not easy to deform, easy to process, easy to carve, clear and fragrant, etc., coupled with the exquisite skills of craftsmen, such as this rosewood carved handicrafts are still relatively marketable. ”
After a brief exchange with the stall owner through the translator, Zhang Yang took a special bag from the boss and put the dragon-shaped sculpture in it after chopping a small knife, and then carried it in his hand and continued to walk to the next stall with He Xiaoman.
"Although the price here is a little more expensive than outside, but it is not much more expensive to really talk about it, but you can also bargain here. ”
Picky and chosen, Zhang Yang took He Xiaoman all the way to the handicraft stalls on the second floor, and finally selected a few beautifully crafted root carving ornaments and bamboo baskets, yes, in the end, he really bought two handmade bamboo baskets that were very exquisite and colorful at a glance.
Although he didn't know what he thought the basket was originally for, at least he bought it to buy vegetables and fill them.
At the corner of the stall owner took a little fuss, and bought a few carved ornaments there, and then deposited all his belongings here, ready to take them back with him after coming down from the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
Walking on the stairs on the third floor, He Xiaoman frowned slightly, then looked at Zhang Yang and asked suspiciously.
"Husband, what are you buying those bamboo baskets for?
He Xiaoman has never thought of buying a house and settling down, He Xiaoman is used to calling the RV home, and Zhang Yang is also happy to call it that, but after thinking about it, He Xiaoman can't understand what is the use of buying this kind of bamboo basket home?
It's a little too low!
Hold those bits and pieces, there are lockers, and you can't use them!
It would be better to put a few carvings on it, even if it is a few wooden bowls and plates that I just bought for a picnic outside, which are better than the bamboo baskets.
Although she thought that the bamboo basket was indeed very beautiful, she really couldn't imagine what use this guy would have if he bought it back!
Zhang Yang, who had long known that He Xiaoman was going to ask this question, didn't think about it, so he said the words that he had prepared a long time ago, and at the same time, these words were also what he planned to say to the people in the live broadcast room.
"Of course, I bought it back as a vegetable basket, and now I don't advocate environmental protection, although we are soft-spoken, but every time I go to the vegetable market or supermarket to buy vegetables, I always feel that I am not a public figure who leads by example, and now I am not vigorously advocating environmental protection, and I must not lead by example as an anchor." ”
Hearing Zhang Yang's words, He Xiaoman nodded thoughtfully, and agreed, not to mention the issue of identity, let's just say that now countries around the world are vigorously advocating environmental protection, and as far as she knows, there are already some supermarkets 'naked shopping', even if the major supermarkets in China are charging for plastic bags for this reason.
