The highway from Haiphong to Hue is basically close to the seaside, starting early in the morning, with a salty sea breeze blowing from the east, the asphalt road is damp, the early monkey fishermen and fishmongers also drive all kinds of modified motorcycles to and from the north, mixed in the torrent of motorcycles, Li Deyuan, who has changed the daily attire of the monkey people, is not conspicuous at all.

He didn't even wear a helmet, he wore the most common turtle shell hat in the monkey country, but he didn't choose a green one, this green hat is still not good! The backpack and clothes were wrapped in a rain cloth and tied to the back seat, and in order to make a camouflage, he deliberately brought some fruits or something in a net bag, looking like a small vendor in the monkey country.

Between Haiphong and Hue, from the map, it is also the monkey country, which is a long and narrow terrain in the middle of the two big ends, and the big head in the north gradually narrows into the land of a slip beach, it is said that the narrowest place is dozens of kilometers, otherwise Grandpa Hu had to take the Cambodia lane to fight the monkeys in the south, this seaside area, there are a few warships in the sea, and there are no people on land.

Eating and drinking is no longer a problem for Li Deyuan, chicken powder, shrimp cakes, meat dumplings, enema, fried spring rolls and other roadside stalls have what to eat, but the green vegetables in the monkey country are basically eaten raw, dipped in fish sauce or chili sauce and eaten with a strange taste, somewhat not so adaptable, there is also that kind of small hot pot, but Li Deyuan looked at the black paste cooked in the hot pot and couldn't tell what the soup was, so he didn't dare to eat it.

People who play motorcycles and outdoors, the biggest feature is that they are adaptable, and it is easy to get through the problems of water and soil adaptation and bad stomach, and the antibiotics brought by Li Deyuan from China have also played a big role.

It's almost noon, after nearly four hours of driving, we arrived at the famous Ha Long Bay, where many movies were filmed, more than 3,000 rocky islands and earth islands like a maze on the sea, known as Guilin on the sea, and if you don't come to Ha Long Bay in the monkey country, you don't see a peerless good scenery.

At that time, Halong Bay was not as commercial as it is now, and the development was not as powerful as it is now, and it was 998 or something at every turn, although there was already a hotel or something in that place when Li Deyuan went, it was basically a seaside fishing village.

It's a pity that the time is tight, so I took the sampan to a few islands, looked at the red nose and red buttocks of the monkey and the karst caves such as the Paradise Cave, followed the fishing boat in the green sea water for a whole day, eating and drinking on the boat, fishing and eating, the fisherman's own rice wine with seafood, life is very moist.

The fishermen are still bitter in the end, the boat that Li Deyuan followed is a young couple with a child, all the belongings are on the boat, it is said that there are houses on the shore, and it is not as good as the days on the boat in a year, the two children rocking the boat, the man casting the net and hooking the hook, the four-year-old child and a kitten running around in the board and cabin.

Negotiate to give 500,000 dong to the person in charge of the meal, that is, about 30 yuan, before going abroad, according to the regulations, everyone can exchange some US dollars for foreign exchange, Li Deyuan is deliberately changed for some small denominations of US dollars, he asked the travelers in the outdoor circle, in the north of the monkey country RMB can also be used as a hard currency, the further south you go, or the US dollar is popular.

When he went ashore in the evening, Li Deyuan watched the family of three live so hard, in addition to giving a lot of monkey shields, he also deliberately gave five dollars, which was more than twice the cost of the boat, but he didn't expect that the monkeys were also very backbone, and he didn't want anything for a long time, and he had to give Li Deyuan some dried fish to dry.

The dried fish was accepted, Li Deyuan quietly stuffed the money into the little boy's pocket, money can't tell everything, but something is better than nothing, and it is always better to feel better if you give money.

has walked thousands of kilometers, although there was also the unpleasantness with Scarface at the beginning, but in general, the impression of the people of the monkey country on Li Deyuan is not as hostile as imagined, many times the monkeys know that Li Deyuan is a flower planter when they hear or see it, but how to drop it, and there is no malicious search for ballast and pits.

We won't talk much about history, there are too many entanglements, and there are sensitive issues, one sentence or two can't be said clearly, anyway, Li Deyuan sneaked out and felt that traveling in the monkey country was actually no different than hanging out in our flower house.

Halong Bay already has a star-rated hotel jointly opened by Wanwan and local monkeys, there are a lot of foreigners in it, Li Deyuan pondered for a while and didn't go in to live, the reason is not money, but he showed his passport He was worried that he would not be able to go down, and he came out these days, and many people were looking for him.

Mr. Huang gave the contact list without people from Halong Bay, here Hua. Li Deyuan originally wanted to drive a motorcycle to the south overnight, but seeing the fog on the sea, the road in the monkey country is narrow and there are no street lights, and it is not safe to walk at night, so he decided to find a place to stay.

Wandering around the town, I accidentally saw a small stall at the mouth of an alley, with a few small tables with umbrellas, a steaming stove and soup pot, and when I looked at it, the chicken powder, smelled the fragrance and immediately protested, and looked at the woman who was like a sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, this bowl of ordinary chicken powder is the most delicious thing Li Deyuan has eaten since he arrived in the monkey country! The soup is delicious, the entrance has an endless aftertaste, not only a fragrance, but a variety of fragrances released in the mouth, as the saying goes, I can't wait to swallow my tongue!

The shredded chicken is not rotten, but it doesn't need to be chewed hard, it is stronger than grilled chicken and has a stronger flavor than roast chicken.

The shredded eggs are shredded with a bamboo knife when the eggs are spread out on a small flat pan, and there are more than a dozen ingredients such as shredded fungus and shredded vegetables.

Sure enough, when I saw that the small pot with fish belly bubbles on the small stove next to the big pot used for rice noodles, it was really a whole chicken, as well as squid and shellfish.

After eating the chicken powder, the two grilled fish are also a big praise! Li Deyuan has been too big? Lian, Qing? There are a lot of grilled fish in the lake and the sea in the sea, but these two grilled herrings eaten in the alleys by the sea in the Monkey Country are definitely superb!

Whether the grilled fish is delicious or not depends on two things, the heat and the brush! This monkey sister-in-law grilled fish in an oven made of a long iron box, and the red charcoal fire under the iron mesh frame was bubbling with a strange fragrance, Li Deyuan even said with a gesture, but he couldn't understand what people said, and he didn't understand what kind of charcoal it was, but he guessed that it was a shrub-like spice tree.

And the sauce that was dipped in a brush and smeared on the fish was dark green, and I couldn't figure out what it was prepared with, only a few ready-made vegetables in the basket, and the sister-in-law pointed it out to Li Deyuan, there were galangal, spearmint, nine-story tower, etc., all of which were monkey national dishes with a very strong taste.

There are also some sisters-in-law who compare to wild vegetables, this Li Deyuan struggled to understand the language, so for the sake of this grilled fish and chicken powder, Li Deyuan decided not to rush to Hue overnight, and stay for another day! A foodie is a foodie!

Q: Can my sister-in-law's house live? The sister-in-law who was tightly covered all over her body shook her head vigorously, and replied intermittently Li Deyuan also figured it out, this sister-in-law's man runs a boat outside, the kind that runs to the open sea, and only comes back once a month, the sister-in-law is at home with three children, the rules of the monkey country, a man can't stay at home without outsiders.

Not to mention the monkey country, even in the flower planting house is the same, the male owner is not there is no room to stay, Li Deyuan wandered around on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the southwest when he was in school, and I heard of this kind of rule in the cottage of the Dong and Miao people, and some villages in the family have the last married girl and do not keep the man to live.

It is the dry season in the monkey country, but it is still very cold at night on the seaside, especially after the fog on the sea is large and large with the rising tide of the sea water, it is very cold, and the idea of staying up all night outdoors is not so realistic.

The sister-in-law was quite enthusiastic, and pointed out the way to Li Deyuan, saying that there are many family-style hotels in the east of the town near the tourist development zone, and the price is not expensive.

Giving the sister-in-law an extra 50,000 dong is considered a tip, the sister-in-law thanked her vigorously, Li Deyuan said that she would come to eat lunch and dinner tomorrow, and then said goodbye to the sister-in-law and went to find the hotel in the direction she pointed.

I didn't go far when I met a male monkey who was also driving a motorcycle, and followed him vigorously to ask if he was looking for a place to live, Li Deyuan understood that this was a motorcyclist soliciting customers, and he could get benefits by introducing a lodging to the hotel, which was the same as the flower planter at the station, so he ignored him and found it himself.

The buildings in the Monkey Country are all thin and tall, Ah Huang said, they can buy ready-made houses or buy land, and buy a piece of land according to the square meter, and then no one cares how high you want to build, so the Monkey Country is full of buildings with one floor and several floors, like a bamboo pole.

In front of a small yellow building with a balcony on each floor, I saw the red signboard of the monkey country hotel, and when I went in, I saw that it was a girl at the front desk, who could speak simple Chinese, and said to stay for one night: "Twenty", Li Deyuan didn't think much about it, it is estimated that he said twenty yuan, or according to the monkey's speaking habits, they want to say twenty, generally referring to twenty thousand guilders, that is, 20,000 guilders, which is not expensive, so they handed over 20,000 guilders and passports, and took the key to go upstairs.
