Chapter 972: Specialty
Coming out of the palace, Guo Wenying breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Mingchang kept his head down, the reason why he didn't go over just now was not because he didn't want to help, but he heard that this person had a strange temper, so he didn't dare to anger him easily. But fortunately, it finally came out.
He said in a low voice: "My lord, let's leave Dali as soon as possible." ”
Guo Wenying nodded, leaving is to leave, but it is already late at this time, so I can only find an inn to stay overnight, and then go to another place early tomorrow morning.
Mr. Du bowed down with them and went on the road, leaving them to inquire about where to live in the city.
This is a place where the Bai people live, and the number of people is relatively large compared to the Bai people, but fortunately, some inns also speak Chinese, so it is not difficult to communicate.
They found an inn that looked clean and high-grade and stayed, and after dinner, Zhang Mingchang came over to discuss tomorrow's itinerary with Guo Wenying.
He said: "I have inquired, and the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court is a hundred miles away. We're going to have some trouble. ”
Guo Wenying said: "Then Lu Weixin has arrived in Yunnan?"
"I don't think I've heard of changing guards. ”
They have been struggling all the way here, and they don't know what Lu Weixin is doing, and they haven't arrived yet.
However, Lu Weixin didn't come, and they couldn't go to this army, so they could only live in Dali City for a few days.
Zhang Ming said: "It's not very safe anywhere now, we don't even bring guards, and it's not good to walk around, it's better to wait for two days." ”
Guo Wenying had to nod, in fact, she regretted that she shouldn't have taken her daughter out of the palace at this time. She herself is nothing, Feng Yu'er is only six years old, how can she bring it to such a dangerous place?
She naturally likes to drill into dangerous places, but the child is innocent, so it's better to find a way to send her back to Beijing.
It's just that Feng Yu'er's temperament is very wild, and she said that she would go back, and immediately cried to show her, so that Guo Wenying couldn't do anything about it.
Anyway, if you live in Dali for a few days, then let's see the scenery and food here.
On the second day, they went to the street to buy three sets of Bai costumes and changed them all, although they knew that they were not Bai people as soon as they opened their mouths, but it was not so obvious when they finally walked into the street.
In fact, there are not very few Han people in Dali, but there are some xenophobia here, and they are not particularly friendly to Han people.
They found a restaurant opened by Han people to eat, which operates local specialties, such as sea vegetable taro soup, casserole fish, Bai nationality specialty raw skin, Binchuan County sea fish, aconite stewed pig's feet, black skin, etc.
They ordered some of the most distinctive things, and asked the boss about Dali City while eating.
The boss sighed and said: "We are also ancestors who have been here since then, and we have lived here for more than 30 years. ”
Guo Wenying asked, "Is it so troublesome to do business here?"
"It's not a trouble, it's just that there are often wars here, and when a war starts, the Bai people here like to take the Han people to the knife. Although it is not enough to burn and loot, it also tastes being bullied. He said and sighed softly, "We're just barely making ends meet." ”
Guo Wenying asked, "Then the king of Yunnan is not the master of the Han people?"
The boss sighed, "This prince is not a Han man, how can he care about the life or death of the Han people? He said and said: "Don't you know, in order to repair the mausoleum, many migrant workers of various ethnic groups were recruited, and we are quite good, and we have not been arrested, otherwise we will not even be able to come back." ”
Guo Wenying knew that these ancient people believed in the destiny of heaven, and the glory and wealth they enjoyed when they were alive would continue to enjoy it when they arrived in the underworld. Therefore, the place they chose to bury the mausoleum must be a treasure of feng shui, and the setting and structure of the mausoleum are all exquisite, so that they can become immortals after death and bless their descendants.
She is a materialist and has never believed in these things that the gods and gods talk about, but the ancients believed in the theory of reincarnation, and the king of Yunnan began to build a mausoleum for himself at a young age, which can also be seen that he wants to ascend to the immortal after death and avoid the suffering of reincarnation.
They told the boss about wanting to go to Yulong Mountain, and the boss said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to go at the moment, now that there is a war, the road to Yulong Mountain is closed." We ordinary people can't get by. ”
Guo Wenying said: "Then there is no other way to go?"
The snake has a snake way, and the people are humane, and it is impossible for these people to have no other way to go.
The boss said, "There is a road, but it is a waterway, and you have to go through a cave by taking a bamboo raft." ”
Zhang Ming said: "You can walk that road, is it dangerous?"
The boss smiled: "The danger is not counted, there are also Bai people who transport goods from there, but the waterway in the cave is too narrow, the boat can't pass, you can only cross the small raft, and you can't transport much things at a time, so few people just go from there." ”
Since they couldn't go by land, they had to take the waterway, so they told the boss that they would take them by water in a few days.
Leaving from the restaurant, I bought some things on the street, and there are a lot of things to eat in Dali City, including preserved fruits (plum blossoms, carved plums, etc.), milk fans, Yangbi walnuts, yellow stewed chicken, raw hides, roll powder, rice noodles, bait silk, Xizhou baba, etc., as well as orchids, camellias, wood carvings, silverware, tie-dyeing, etc.
Feng Yuer was greedy, and when she saw someone selling oil powder on the street, she asked for a bowl. The most distinctive feature here is the cold shrimp, made of rice flour and lime, and served with rose syrup, or rose cold shrimp. In addition, there is roll noodles, which are also made of rice noodles and are cold to eat in summer.
Guo Wenying thought that since she came, she simply bought a little bit of everything and tasted what it tasted like.
It's just that although these things are famous, they don't quite suit their appetite when they eat them. She didn't eat after a few bites, but Feng Yu'er had a good appetite, and ate a bowl of oil powder and a bowl of roll noodles.
Guo Wenying saw the sweetness she ate, and bought some plums and milk fans, which can be fried, roasted, and eaten raw with sugar, which seems to taste good. Later, I simply brought some curly hooves and candied fruit, and kept them for her to eat as snacks for the past few days.
After they finished buying things, they walked back, and when they passed by the Yunnan Palace, they suddenly saw the door of the mansion wide open, and a team of soldiers ran out of it.
What's going on?
The three of them hurriedly stepped aside, looked at the soldier, and then lifted a large sedan chair from inside.
Guo Wenying frowned, looking at the specifications of the sedan chair, it should be the sedan chair of the king of Yunnan, where are you going to carry it like this?
The grandeur of this prince is very great, there are thirty-six gongs in front of him, two teams of soldiers in the back, sixteen people carry a sedan chair, each avoids the card, and the flag beckons, which is really a big pomp.
