Chapter 88: Visiting Baotu Spring

After living happily at home for a few days, and when it was time to return to Xining, Yang Qianxun thought about the dust in the sky, the cold and biting snow, and those vehicles to be repaired, and he was very reluctant to leave the warm home, nostalgic for the short-term happiness at home.

On the eighth day of the new year, after lunch, Yang Haoran said to his sister: "It's better for me and Liu Gang to see you off." ”

Liu Gang said: "I have been away from home for several days, and I just want to send you to Jinan and then go home directly." ”

The father said, "When you leave, the house is deserted again!" ”

Yang Qianxun went over and took his father's hand and said, "Dad, we will come back, you take care of yourself!" He said to Yang Haoran again: "Yang Haoran, the responsibility of taking care of your parents will be handed over to you, you can't play games every day!" ”

Yang Haoran said with a hippie smile: "Oh my God! It's a lot of pressure! ”

Packed up his things and put the suitcase in the trunk of the car, Liu Gang drove the car out of the gate slowly, Li Hao and Yang Qianxun walked out of the gate in the farewell of their parents, and finally waved and got into the car.

On the car, Yang Haoran said happily: "Sister, your train doesn't start until about ten o'clock in the evening, right?" Let's go to Jinan to visit the zoo, shall we? ”

Yang Qianxun said: "If you don't go, what's the fun?" Dirty. ”

Yang Haoran said again: "Then let's take Brother Hao to Baotu Spring?" ”

Yang Qianxun asked Li Hao: "Do you want to go?" ”

Li Hao said: "Okay, anyway, I have to pass the time, and it's the same everywhere." ”

Yang Qianxun sighed and said, "If I knew this, it would be better to leave after dinner." ”

Dozens of minutes, the car drove into the city, shuttling in the sea of cars, Liu Gang's driving skills made Li Hao and Yang Qianxun scared, I couldn't help it, Li Hao patted Liu Gang on the back seat and said: "Liu Gang, find a place to stop the car first, you drive for too long, and you're tired, I'll help you drive for a while." ”

Liu Gang agreed, stopped the car at the door of a hotel, Yang Haoran and his sister sat in the back seat together, Liu Gang sat in the passenger seat, helped Li Hao do navigation, and the four of them continued to march towards Baotu Spring.

Li Hao drove the car and asked a few Shandong people in the car: "How many people are there in Jinan?" How do you feel that there are more people in Shenzhen? ”

Yang Haoran said: "There are seven or eight million people, but there are only four or five million people in the city." ”

Li Hao said: "What is this person running for the New Year? Isn't it good to stay at home? ”

Yang Qianxun smiled and hammered him in the back: "Aren't you also running outside?" Why can't others? ”

It was not easy to get to Baotu Spring, and it took a long time to find the parking lot before stopping the car, and the four people walked to the door of Baotu Spring, bought tickets and walked in.

Liu Gang has obviously been here many times, and he keeps introducing the three of them: "Baotu Spring is the symbol and symbol of Jinan, the spring city, and all those who travel to Jinan will visit Baotu Spring." Baotu Spring is known as "the first spring in the world", the water in Baotu Spring is natural drinking water, which fully meets the national drinking water standards, and the spring water is at a constant temperature all year round, at about 18 degrees. According to the oracle bone inscription, this Baotu Spring has a written history of more than 3,400 years, which can be described as a long history. ”

Li Hao asked him, "How did the name of this Baotu Spring come from?" ”

Liu Gang said: "There was a person named Zeng Gong in the Song Dynasty, who was one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties, you should know, right?" That's the name he took. Specifically, in an article he wrote, this name was mentioned, and later it was named after Baotu Spring. This Baotu spring water three sections, gushing day and night, when the water is more can be as high as several feet, the so-called Baotu, is the meaning of jumping rush, is to use these two words to describe the spring water jumping shape, gushing momentum. ”

Under the leadership of Liu Gang, the four of them walked around the park to admire, and walked to Shuyuquan, Liu Gang introduced: "This Li Qingzhao's former residence is on the edge of Shuyuquan, and it is named after Li Qingzhao's "Shuyu Collection". He pointed with his hand: "There is still Li Qingzhao's memorial hall over there, let's go over and have a look." "Liuwu Spring, Golden Thread Spring, Mapao Spring, Guanlan Pavilion, Shengjingfang, Shangzhi Hall, Three Temples, where to go, wandering around for a long time, also listened to Liu Gang introduced a lot, seeing that the flow of people is getting less and less, the sky is gradually darkening, and the four of them walked out of the park. Walking to the gate when he first came in, Liu Gang said again: "The three characters of Baotu Spring at the south gate are gold and blue, which is particularly beautiful, and it is still inscribed by Emperor Qianlong's imperial pen." Li Hao smiled and said: "Thank you Liu Gang, you have been our tour guide for an afternoon, thanks to you for coming, in an afternoon, under your introduction, we have learned a lot of new knowledge." ”

Yang Qianxun said: "Liu Gang, are you working in Baotu Spring?" Why is it so familiar? ”

Liu Gang said embarrassedly: "My family lives near here, and I have often come to Baotu Spring to play since I was a child, so of course I am familiar with it." ”

Li Hao said: "It's not early, there is still a traffic jam on the road, let's quickly find a place to have dinner, and then go to the train station to wait for the bus, right?" ”

Liu Gang said again at this time: "Brother Li, sister, Haoran, since you have arrived at my door, let me treat you?" ”

Li Hao waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, you are still young, and you haven't gone to work, how can I let you invite you?" ”

Yang Qianxun also disagreed: "Liu Gang, you have been with us for half a day, and you have been a tour guide for an afternoon, we should thank you as a tour guide." ”

Liu Gang smiled and said: "I have lived in your house for so many days, my uncles and aunts are so good to me, Haoran's brothers and sisters are my brothers and sisters, you are welcome, I have money." ”

Yang Haoran said loudly at this time: "You just let him invite, this kid is rich, his seven aunts and eight aunts, he has tens of thousands of yuan a year's New Year's money, he is the only child in the family, and the family also has money, don't worry about it, eat him well." ”

Li Hao is still objecting: "It's not good, I'll pay for it." The four of them looked for their own cars while talking, and then Li Hao drove to a hotel that Liu Gang was familiar with. Stop the car and look at the name: "No. 56 Gaodi Street", it doesn't look like a place to eat? Liu Gang got out of the car and said: "The Cantonese food here is very good, I have been here several times, and I specially took you to try it." ”

Yang Qianxun said: "It's okay, I haven't eaten Cantonese food for more than a year." ”

The layout inside is very elegant, light music is playing on the radio, each dining table has an independent space, Liu Gang took them all the way inside, and then pushed open the door of a room and let them in, the waiter walked in with a smile and a recipe, Liu Gang said: "First on the pot Tieguanyin." He asked Li Hao again: "Let's have some wine bars?" ”

Li Hao shook his head and said, "Don't drink, you have to drive, we have to get on the train, it's not good to drink too much." ”

Liu Gang nodded and said, "Waiter, give the menu to my sister." ”

The waiter smiled and handed the menu to Yang Qianxun, Yang Qianxun opened a large menu made of exquisite and exquisite and said, "You're welcome, everyone can eat whatever I order, right?" ”

Li Hao and Yang Haoran both nodded in agreement. Yang Qianxun looked at the recipe, ordered half a salted chicken, a marinated platter, a boiled cabbage heart, and ordered a stir-fried green beans often made by Hunan cuisine masters, a fried beef river, a soy sauce fried rice, and then an pork ribs and kelp soup, feeling that there were already a lot, and returned the recipe to the waiter.

Liu Gang asked the waiter for a look at the menu and said, "Sister, you save me money too much, why are you all vegetarian?" Let's have another braised prawn and a steamed osmanthus fish. ”

The waiter smiled and agreed, "Okay, wait a minute." After saying that, he poured another round of tea before going out with the menu.

Yang Qianxun said: "Liu Gang, let you break the bank, but if you order so much, if you can't eat it, it will be wasted." ”

Liu Gang waved his hand arrogantly: "It's okay, sister, brother, you have been in Shenzhen for so many years, you must like Cantonese food, try the dishes here are not authentic?" If it's delicious, I'll invite you again next time you come back. ”

Li Hao smiled and said: "Haoran, your classmates are very arrogant, and they have the spirit of a hero!" Then he said: "Next time we must invite you, whether you have money or not, you haven't joined the job yet, so it's not good to spend your parents' money to entertain you, right?" ”

Yang Qianxun smiled and said: "Liu Gang, thank you very much, but you and Haoran should remember one thing, spending the money you earn is the most comfortable thing, after graduation, we have to repay our parents, not drag down our parents, what do you say?" ”

Yang Haoran said: "Sister, I know. ”

Liu Gang said: "Sister, no one in my family told me this, but I remember your words, I will work my own and not be an old man." ”

The dishes were served quickly, ten minutes, all the dishes were served, Yang Qianxun's favorite food is Guangdong's fried rice noodles, that kind of smooth and fragrant feeling is not comparable to any kind of pasta, so I ate a lot of fried beef river, Liu Gang asked them: "How do you feel?" ”

Yang Qianxun nodded and said, "It's delicious, and it's very authentic." ”

Li Hao also said: "Yes, yes, next time I come to Jinan, I will definitely come to No. 52 Gaodi Street again." ”

"Haha, it's fifty-six." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Liu Gang was satisfied and kept serving Li Hao vegetables. The four of them went shopping for a long time, and they were indeed hungry, and soon the wind swept away, and the dishes on the table were eaten clean, Yang Haoran drank the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, burped and said: "Sister, no wonder you stay in Shenzhen and don't want to go home?" It turns out that Cantonese food is so delicious! ”

Yang Qianxun looked at his younger brother with a smile and said, "In your eyes, how can there be any undelicious dishes?" However, the most we eat in Guangdong is Hunan cuisine, Guangdong cuisine is light, Hunan cuisine is spicy, and Sichuan cuisine is spicy, all of which are very delicious. ”

Liu Gang said: "I'll take you to eat Hunan cuisine tomorrow, I know where it is." ”

Yang Qianxun smiled and said, "Liu Gang, you take it easy, don't turn us Haoran into pure foodies." ”

Li Hao looked at the time and said, "It's almost seven o'clock, let's go quickly, right?" ”

Liu Gang agreed and asked the waiter to settle the bill. Yang Qianxun asked his younger brother, "What are you going to do at night?" ”

Liu Gang said: "He went to my house. ”

Yang Qianxun said again: "Yes, but Haoran, you go home early tomorrow, we are all gone at once, how lonely my parents are!" ”

Yang Haoran smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I will go home tomorrow, but I won't go back until I eat Hunan food." ”

Yang Qianxun smiled and said to him: "Look at your gluttony! ”

Coming out of No. 56 Gaodi Street, Li Hao said: "Liu Gang, since your home is nearby, don't send us, the traffic jam back and forth is so bad, we can take a taxi by ourselves." ”

"How can this work? I'd better go with Haoran and send you to the train station before coming back. ”

Yang Qianxun walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're welcome brother, you and Haoran hurry back to your house, if you go back later, your adults will have to worry, as for us, you don't have to worry, the taxi is very convenient." ”

Yang Haoran said at this time: "Sister, brother, then we won't send you, you can go, call me when you get to Xining." ”

Yang Qianxun walked up to his younger brother and hugged him gently before saying, "Remember what I said, go home early." Then let go of his younger brother, and together with Li Hao, they each pulled their suitcases and walked to the side of the road.
