Chapter 701: Garden
Listening to the opera is not a good experience for Wen Xu, who is in his twenties and almost thirty, although Wen Xu's temperament is calm, but he still can't stand the rhythm of a word that can spit out for two minutes.
Especially the Peking Opera that I still listen to today, the main thing is that there is no drama yet, and it is all sung. If it is the singing voice of Huangmei Opera, such as a female attached to a horse or something, Wen Xu not only likes to listen to it but can also sing two sentences, but this Peking Opera directly exhausted Wen's patience in less than five minutes, so he had to close his ears and completely focus his attention on the snacks on the table.
Also as impatient as Wen Xu are Xiao Yao, Hang Chen, among the young people, that is, Wang Zhe's father and daughter listened very interestingly, looking at the father and daughter shaking their heads, Wen Xu said in his heart No wonder they wanted to come over to listen to the play, it turned out to be two drama fans.
Finally consumed a Peking Opera for almost an hour, the two old men under Wang Zhe's introduction, and wanted to go to the countryside to listen to the local opera, Wen Xu originally didn't want to join in the excitement, but out of the Peking Opera garden to see, the road is still crowded with people, people are next to people, so I have to follow to the garden of the local opera.
It was half past eleven o'clock in the night, and the pedestrians on the road gradually became empty, saying that it was empty did not mean that there were not many people, but it was still crowded, and the vendors selling things were still shouting enthusiastically.
There are a lot of people, but the road doesn't feel like it was a few hours ago.
After saying goodbye to Wang Zhe, Wen Xu and his party slowly walked towards the Ice Sculpture Garden. The group had just finished supper, and they drank a little wine to ward off the cold, anyway, now others don't know how Wen Xu feels, but he himself is warm all over.
When I arrived at the Ice Sculpture Garden, the queue at the entrance was still lined up, but now the queue was much shorter, and there were more people entering it each time.
Wen Xu went to the ticket office to buy tickets, and was about to take everyone to the end of the line to shoot the line, when he felt that someone walked to his side and patted himself.
Wen Xu turned his head and saw a uniformed police officer standing in front of him with a smile: "Boss Wen, why did you come here so late to see the ice sculptures."
This person Wen Xu naturally knows, the police officer who came to the village with Wu Mingxian to deal with the problem last time is estimated to have a good relationship with Wu Mingxian, and belongs to the kind of motivated person who follows the leader closely.
"There's no way, the child wants to see it, I can't do it, what about you, you're still on duty so late?" Wen Xu greeted him with a smile, everyone came up, and Wen Xu didn't want to put on a face for others.
"Whew, how can there be any rest these days, four or five hours of sleep a day burns incense, and it is estimated that I will only get a fifteen-hour rest," the officer said with a smile.
Wen Xu expressed sympathy for the plight of the police: "Yes, I was shocked when I first arrived today."
The police officer smiled and said: "Don't say it's you, even we were taken aback, in fact, it's not just us, even Secretary Zhou was taken aback by the crowd that came to see the ice sculpture, no one thought that there would be so many people, let's not say anything else, let's just say that the hotels in the county, as long as there are beds, almost all of them are full, and even some bathrooms that can stay overnight are full, how many people do you say are here?" At noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire ice sculpture park was crowded with people, and we were afraid of a stampede, so we had to take measures to limit the number of people entering the park......"
After chatting for a few words, Wen Xu gestured: "Then you are busy, my side is almost there" Wen Xu stretched out his hand and pointed to the team.
As Wang Zhe said, at this time, the queue has obviously accelerated a lot, although I didn't see that the queue is short, but the number of people released at the entrance has increased significantly, just as the two of them are talking, the old men in line are about to move to the door.
"Don't line up, follow me in!"
"Forget it, if it were me, I might have gone looking for you a long time ago, but two old men with strange tempers are here, and besides, it's almost there, so you can go with your business" Wen Xu said.
When the police officer saw that Wen Xu had said this, he didn't insist too much and immediately said, "Okay, then I'll go in first, and find me if there's anything."
After Wen Xuying got down, he watched the police officer enter the ice sculpture garden, and walked back to the team with his ticket.
After waiting in line for about another five or six minutes, it was Wen Xu's turn to let a group of people in.
As soon as you enter the garden, the most central thing is the landmark thing of this year's ice sculpture festival, the Great Wall of ice, of course, it is impossible to build as long as the Great Wall, so play to the dead, just take a scene in the middle is a beacon tower, with two sections of the Great Wall city wall on both sides, all made of ice, each battlement mouth is also embedded with a lantern, it is estimated that the straight Great Wall is not as beautiful as this crystal clear ice Great Wall.
The key is that visitors can also walk on it, stepping on the square bricks made of transparent ice cubes, and the colorful lights under their feet shine through the crystal ice cubes. Pedestrians can follow this colourful path up the rampart through the beacon tower and down the other side.
The group at the Great Wall of Ice did not have much time to linger and watch, because although there were fewer people entering the park at this time, it was still quite a lot in terms of the number of people, and there were not too many places on the Great Wall of Ice for you to stand and watch all the time.
After passing the Great Wall of Ice, the flow of people began to disperse, and at the same time there were several winding towards the ice sculpture garden, and there were different ice sculptures next to each road, some were bionic, such as animals, and some were pavilions, almost all of them were life-size, and the only difference between them and the real scenery was that these things were almost all made of ice and snow.
Wen Xu's main job in the garden is the photographer, responsible for taking a picture of everyone or something, like the old people are all strange, although Wen Xu and his wife think the ice sculpture garden is very good-looking, but they don't think it's particularly brilliant, so that Hang Chen and Xiao Yao seem to be charged, and they have to play wherever their eyes are shining, and they have to look everywhere.
"Daughter-in-law, why don't we have a few of these things to play with next winter?" Wen Xu handed Hang Chen's mobile phone back, turned his head to Shi Shangzhen and said.
Shi Shangzhen replied: "Let's do it too, I guess Uncle Zhou will have to chase and cut us with a knife!"
"Why, we don't compete with him for business," Wen Xu asked curiously.
"Just these ice carving craftsmen, Uncle Zhou still saved his grandfather and told his grandmother to beg, and offended a group of people for this, let's dig two of them here, do you think Uncle Zhou wants to cut people?" Shi Shangzhen said with a smile.
"Isn't it just a bunch of ice sculptures, I still don't believe it, it's so hard to find?" Wen Xu didn't believe it.
"There are a lot of things that can be wiped, but they can be wiped well, I'll tell you if you wipe out the artistic conception, it's really not much, if you don't believe it, you'll be able to see it later, what is placed here is made by an experienced team, and in the back is the work of some miscellaneous soldiers, and even in order to fill a garden of things, even some stonemasons in nearby counties have been invited, and you will know where the difference is between it and the front when you look at it later" Shi Shangzhen said.
Wen Xu didn't say anything when he heard this, and waited to turn around and look again.
Just when everyone was playing, the group hurried over, led by Zhou He, secretary of the county party committee, and followed by Wu Mingxian, director of the county bureau.
"Old chief, why did you come here to enjoy the ice sculptures so late? If it weren't for others saying that I didn't know," Zhou He walked over and immediately said to the two old men Shi and Qiu with a smile.
"Inform you of what to do, we just come and go around at will, and inform you of everything, do you think you are still at your post now" The old man said with a smile.
Old Man Qiu said again: "The flow of people is very good!"
"Uncle Qiu, where is it good, it directly frightened me, the number of people in the entire county who have come to play in the past few days has directly exceeded the total number of tourists in the previous ten years, I am afraid that something will happen here, and I can't even sleep well these days!" Zhou He said with a wry smile.
The old man said: "Look at it, the tourists are not happy to come." You're really hypocritical!"
"It's not that I'm hypocritical, but Zhuang Li is too big, and we were caught off guard directly, only on the second day of the new year, the passenger flow of the county was nearly 220,000 people, and the first was a small peak...... "Zhou He stretched out his hand to support the old man while he spoke, and then chatted while walking.
Wu Mingxian followed behind honestly at this time, looking at the secretary Zhou He with a smile on his face, and accompanied the two old men to walk slowly in the sea of lights.
The only one in the entire team who let go is estimated to be Wen Xu, whether it is Hang Chen or Xiao Yao, it is rare to give up their preconceptions now, and stand in front of all kinds of ice sculptures together to take a group photo.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Wen Xu immediately felt the visual impact of the situation that Shi Shangzhen had said.
If all the things you saw along the way were beautiful wonderland creations, then what catches your eye now is obviously with a strong local atmosphere.
The comparison between the two can be judged immediately!
Although this piece is also carved in a decent way, such as the elephant's slide and the ice sculpture of the tiger, it looks similar, but compared with the previous one, it seems that it has lost its charm all of a sudden, and the same ice and the same colored lanterns, it immediately feels wrong when you get here.
There are more embarrassing people, such as pigs, ducks and other small objects have also appeared, and even farm tools such as mills, and the black line hangs on the door of Wen Xu's brain.
"It's really local!" Wen Xu said with a sigh.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with the countryside," Shi Shangzhen said: "I think these ice sculptures are more interesting in life, and the ones we saw earlier are too artistic, or too beautiful, and they are not as good as the ones in front of us that have a breath of life and look very pleasing to the eye."
Wen Xu replied: "Listening to what you said about being noble and noble, and making a style, I originally thought that the whole garden was like in the front, but who knew that the back was full of indiscriminate charges! This thirty yuan ticket has at least twenty yuan of water."
"Then don't look for me to hug me, I'm just the little director of Wenjia Village, No, there is a county magistrate over there, you go and talk to your parents" Shi Shangzhen jokingly nodded at Zhou He's back.
Wen Xu glanced in the direction she was pointing, thought for a moment and said, "Forget it! Anyway, the money won't fall into my pocket!"
At this time, Xiao Yao suddenly jumped out: "Uncle, my cousin and I are going to play the maze!"
"Labyrinth?" Wen Xu looked up and found a large group of children surrounding a crystal maze not far away.
The whole crystal maze is much more than the snow maze in Wenjia Village, the maze here is made of ice, a piece of about half a meter long, thirty or forty centimeters of ice bars are built out of pieces of blocks, in the ice bricks on the top is a small colored lde marquee, according to the melody of the music can't help but change the flickering rhythm, not to mention attracting a group of children, even the parents who brought them are drilled into the maze with their children.
Wen Xu was also interested, turned his head to Hang Xiangdong and Li Yumei and said, "Why don't we go over and have fun?"
Hang Xiangdong and his family are a little sleepy now, if it weren't for the two old men, the old couple would have said that they would go back to sleep, but now, they are embarrassed to open this mouth.
So the old couple had no interest in a group of children drilling into the maze, and after listening to it, they waved their hands and said, "Go ahead, let's just take a look around, it's too noisy over there."
When Wen Xu turned his face to his daughter-in-law, Shi Shangzhen also waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to play the maze and asked Wen Xu to take the two children there.
Wen Xu didn't say much when he heard this, and took Hang Chen and Xiao Yao directly to the entrance of the labyrinth.
