Early the next morning, the two officially entered the Detian Waterfall Scenic Area after purchasing tickets. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Detian Falls is the first waterfall in Asia to cross the waterfall and the fourth in the world after Iguazu Falls (which spans Brazil and Argentina in South America), Victoria Falls (which spans Zambia and Zimbabwe in East Africa) and Niagara Falls (which spans the United States and Canada in North America).

In 2005, the "List of the Most Beautiful Places in China" sponsored by China National Geographic was released in Beijing, which selected the six most beautiful waterfalls in China, and Detian Waterfall was among them.

After entering the scenic spot, Wang Yiyuan pulled Chen Yang to the viewing platform for the first time. The observation deck is in the upper right of facing the waterfall, standing here you can have a panoramic view of the Detian Waterfall, although it has not yet fully entered the rainy season, the water volume is not the largest, but the river water that is blocked into three layers from top to bottom, layer upon layer, rushing down, magnificent, or to all the tourists present a great shock.

In the history of our country, there has never been a shortage of popular poems describing waterfalls, such as Li Bai's "Flying down 3,000 feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days", Wang Anshi's "Standing on the ground for thousands of miles, hanging in the air", Wang Bo's "Broken Mountain Suspicious Painting Barrier, Hanging Slippery Singing Qin" and so on. But here and now, in Wang Yiyuan's heart, I feel that these poems are not enough to describe the beauty of Detian Waterfall, its beauty is the kind of collection across the two countries of magnificent, rushing down, layered beauty in one.

Wang Yiyuan has not watched the TV series "Flower Thousand Bone", which was broadcast some time ago, but she also knew from the mouth of others that this is the location filming location of the long-staying fairyland in the TV series, and she can't help but secretly praise that the director is still very good at choosing places, this place is indeed very much like fairyland!

Follow the stairway next to the observation deck to descend to the river, and take a raft downstream to the waterfall for an up-close view of this famous transnational waterfall. Sure enough, as the innkeeper said, many Vietnamese businessmen on the opposite side rowed bamboo rafts to sell various goods to tourists, with the innkeeper's reminder last night, Wang Yiyuan controlled her curiosity and did not buy anything, but took pictures of the beautiful scenery of the waterfall from multiple angles with great interest, and occasionally looked at the Vietnamese businessmen who rowed over.

Most of the traders have been staying on the rafts, waiting for tourists to visit, but there is one that is more special. The reason why Wang Yiyuan noticed it was because there were two small flags planted in the place where the businessman was sitting, which was the national flag of Vietnam and China, perhaps the businessman deliberately did it in order to show the friendship between China and Vietnam.

The owner of the raft did not hold the goods for sale like other Vietnamese merchants did, but paddled over a section of the river until a man with a sunhat and sunglasses waved on the shore, and the two of them gestured back and forth, presumably bargaining, and then the man on the shore took out a thick envelope and handed it to the merchant on the raft. The merchant took it, took a cursory look, and then took out two boxes of coffee from the large plastic bag containing the goods and handed them back to the man on the shore.

The man on the shore looked at the package of coffee, did not speak again, and turned to leave. The raft that sold the goods continued to paddle in the river for a while, and then returned to Vietnam.

Wang Yiyuan saw all this in her eyes and had some doubts in her heart. At this time, Chen Yang also found that Wang Yiyuan's attention was not on the beautiful scenery, so he asked: "Why are you looking so fascinated?

"No, I was just watching people buy and sell things, but it felt a little weird. ”

"What's so strange about that, not everyone knows that there are a lot of fakes here, otherwise what are those people doing business here? And I just saw some, some of the handicrafts sold actually look good, the handicrafts themselves do not have the problem of authenticity, someone sees something that fits the eye, and will naturally buy it. ”

Wang Yiyuan shook her head, did not answer Chen Yang's words, but walked to a Vietnamese businessman who was shouting, found the same package of coffee she had just seen, and asked the other party in English about the price.

Perhaps because there are too many Chinese tourists here, the local Vietnamese businessmen actually have a little Chinese. The businessman who was questioned by Wang Yiyuan replied in fluent Mandarin: "Ten yuan per box, RMB, 35,000 VND." It's cheap, let's have a few boxes. The taste is crooked!"

Wang Yiyuan was amused by the businessman's sentence "cool and crooked". The large Chinese population has an advantage, in order to do Chinese business, do not give up this huge market, many foreign traders will take the initiative to learn Chinese, and even learn some Internet buzzwords together.

Wang Yiyuan remembered that when she was traveling in Nepal before, she once saw a shop selling silk scarves on Kathmandu's Durbar Square, and a Chinese sign was hung at the door of the store, and the words written on it made people think of it now: "China's top croak! Chinese friends top croak! Xi Da top croak!"

Seeing Wang Yiyuan smiling, the Vietnamese businessmen on the bamboo raft worked hard to sell.

In response to the other party's enthusiasm, and in order to make it easier for her to inquire about things later, Wang Yiyuan took out ten yuan to buy a box of coffee, and then asked the other party what denominations the Vietnamese dong was. Perhaps the problem was a little more complicated, and the other party took out several kinds of Vietnamese dong banknotes to show Wang Yiyuan, and finally let Wang Yiyuan understand the specific situation of the Vietnamese dong.

Vietnamese dong banknotes are divided into 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 10,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000 and 500,000, with a total of twelve denominations. Due to the rapid inflation rate in Vietnam, which has led to the serious depreciation of the currency, there are no more 100 and 200 banknotes in circulation in the market, and most transactions are at least in denominations starting from 1,000 dong.

Wang Yiyuan calculated in her heart that a box of coffee is 35,000 VND, and if you pay with 1,000 VND, it will cost 35 pieces, and the buyer just now took two boxes of coffee, which means that even if you use 1,000 VND, you only need 70 pieces. But judging from the thickness of the envelope that the man took out just now, it was obvious that there were more than 100 banknotes inside. Is it the 500 denomination of VND used for payment?

After thanking the Vietnamese businessmen on the bamboo raft, Wang Yiyuan returned to Chen Yang with coffee.

"What's the matter? Didn't you say that you believed the innkeeper's words and didn't buy anything here? Why did you buy it anyway? And you bought coffee, and I don't know if this thing is a three-no product, do you really dare to drink it?"

Wang Yiyuan looked at the coffee in her hand and said with a smile: "This may really be a three-no product, anyway, I can't read the words on it." ”

"Oh, I finally understand, you said earlier that your nickname 'Three Nothings' on the Internet originated from the Buddha's verse, and you must be fooling me. You should call it 'three no' because you like to buy this kind of three no products. ”

"You like three-no products! I have a good screen name with far-reaching significance, how can I always be spoofed by you people, it really convinces your brains. I was just asking people about things, and I was not too embarrassed to delay their time to do business, so I just bought something as a courtesy. You like you to take it, I don't want it anyway. After speaking, Wang Yiyuan stuffed the coffee in her hand into Chen Yang's arms.

Chen Yang took the coffee, shook it in his hand a few times, and continued to ask, "What do you want to inquire about?" I saw that the last person took out all the Vietnamese dong, do you want to exchange money?"

"It's not. What do I do in exchange for VND, and it is not circulated in the country. After Wang Yiyuan finished speaking, after thinking about it, she decided to relay her findings just now to Chen Yang.

After listening to Wang Yiyuan's narration, Chen Yang looked crying and laughing: "I said eldest lady, people do business, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, you care so much about what to do, and you still care about the denomination of banknotes used by others, it's really boring." It's none of your business. ”

"I know it's none of my business, I'm just curious. That buyer is obviously a Chinese in our country, why should he pay with VND? Also, the seller collects money, and he doesn't count such a thick stack, so he is not afraid that the buyer will pay less?"

"You care about a lot of things, no less than the aunt in Chaoyang District, Beijing. But haven't you seen a lot of barter transactions on the news where people often pull sacks of one-dollar coins to make deposits? No matter how big the denomination is, even if it is not money, as long as the buyer is willing to pay and the seller is willing to accept it, there are many barter transactions. What I'm concerned about now is where we go next. ”

"I don't know, walk along the trail, where you go. ”

The two walked up the trail from the place where they landed, and it took about ten minutes to reach the Sino-Vietnamese boundary monument. Wang Yiyuan was excited to find that next to the boundary monument was an open-air market, and it was still a market specializing in Vietnamese goods. This kind of place with fixed stalls should be more reassuring than the trading of mobile operations on the river, Wang Yiyuan thought.

Wang Yiyuan pulled Chen Yang to wander around the market. In fact, the stalls in the market have similar goods, including books, crafts, fruits, snacks, etc., and of course, Vietnamese slippers, which have always been known for their durability.

While shopping, she bargained with the stall owners in Chinese with great interest, and after a while, Wang Yiyuan harvested a lot of loot. And Chen Yang carried things with a bitter face, and followed behind Wang Yiyuan as a coolie.

Walking to the end of the market, when the two were about to leave, Wang Yiyuan suddenly pulled Chen Yang to hide behind a stall.

"What are you doing?"

"Shhhh Wang Yiyuan made a gesture of silence, and then looked through the gap between the stalls to a man walking through the market.
