Chapter 134: The Flying Fox Valley of the Eight Paths of Taihang
After watching the tree flower performance, Xiao Yayun and I walked towards the outside of Nuanquan Ancient Town, ready to go back to the county seat. As soon as I walked to the gate of the ancient town, I saw a bunch of cars with pictures of the imperial capital blocked at the gate of the ancient town, the headlights were on, and the car horn sounded, noisy and noisy.
"The car! That Nissan, step back and let me get out first, or I'll be stuck in here and won't be able to get out!" ”
"Where do I go back, there is a travel agency bus in the back, and the driver of this bus doesn't know where to go, and this bus is here and I hit it as soon as I retreat."
Hearing the voices of complaining or swearing on both sides, I was even more proud and glad that I parked the car near the archway, otherwise if I had driven the car in like them in order to take a few steps less than Tuna, I would have been one of them by now.
Walk through the noisy parking lot, walk to the archway, get in the car, start, and drive towards the county seat.
When I got up the next day, it was more than eight o'clock in the morning, and after the things were tidied up, Xiao Yayun and I walked to the hotel front desk with a backpack on our backs to check out. Passing by the restaurant on the way to the front desk, I suddenly remembered that this hotel is for breakfast.
When I ran into the restaurant, I saw that the good guy's several pots of food were empty, only two steamed buns were left full of finger prints, and millet porridge was only a thin layer at the bottom of the pot, and even half a bowl was not necessarily enough. Don't talk about milk bread, you can only find it in the swill bucket. All that can be eaten is a little pickle and boiled eggs.
I couldn't help but complain to the chef, "Your hotel has too little to offer, and it's only a few o'clock, and there's nothing." ”
The chef smiled bitterly: "I'm really sorry for you, two tour groups came yesterday and left early this morning." When eating breakfast, it was like a devil entering the village, and the steamed buns were intercepted halfway before they were served. Because of this, the tour guides of the two tour groups almost got into a fight. You'd have come here ten minutes early, and it's the same as the World War II scene, just cleaned up. ”
As soon as I heard this, the resentment in my heart disappeared at once, and I glanced at the chef helplessly and said with some sympathy: "It's not easy for you." ”
Walking out of the restaurant, I handed the egg to Xiao Yayun and said helplessly: "The restaurant was robbed by devils, let's eat this first to fill my stomach, and then go out and look for anything to eat." ”
Xiao Yayun took the egg and was stunned, "Huh? Devil? ”
I walked towards the front desk while telling Xiao Yayun what the chef told me, and after I checked out of the hotel at the front desk, I stood at the door of the hotel and looked at both sides, and found that there was a small stall selling noodles and dumplings not far away.
I pointed to the stall, smiled and looked at Xiao Yayun, who was peeling the second egg, and said, "Do you want to eat the dumplings?" ”
Xiao Yayun, this Nizi is estimated to be really hungry, and she bit half an egg in one bite before she nodded and said vaguely: "Eat!" Now let me eat yellow cakes, I'll eat them all! ”
Dumpling, also known as river drain and harmony, is a kind of noodle dish unique to the north. The method is very simple, mix pea noodles with soba noodles, soba noodles or other mixed bean noodles and use a dumpling monnieri (a wooden or iron tool with many round eyes) to press out the noodles through the round eyes to form small round strips. Dumplings are generally thicker than regular noodles, but firmer and softer than noodles.
The dumplings on the stalls selling dumplings have been pressed with dumpling beds, and they are packed in balls at the bottom of the bowl. After asking for two bowls of dumplings in the past, I saw the boss pick up a bowl with dumplings and pour them into a colander.
The next moment, the boss lifted the lid of the steaming pot with one hand, and grabbed the colander with the other hand and put the colander into the boiling water. After waiting for a while, Heluo came out of the pot, and the dumplings that were originally tightly packed together were all stretched out and lying lazily in the colander at this time, looking extremely attractive.
Pour the dumplings into a bowl, pour a spoonful of dumplings, and a bowl of dumplings is finished.
The pale yellow dumplings are paired with tofu, meat, red and white radish, etc., and the sight alone is enough to make your mouth flutter.
After eating, Xiao Yayun and I did not go out of the county again, but walked around the county town all morning. Yesterday was too hurried, and after I came, I was bent on going to Nuanquan Ancient Town, so I didn't pay much attention to the county seat of Wei County.
Now calm down and stroll through the streets of the county, looking at the buildings on both sides, to be honest, the ancient style is not as strong as imagined.
Founded in the second year of the elephant in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and rebuilt in the tenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the county seat of Weixian County is the most well-preserved ancient city in western Beijing. Open three gates, the east gate Anding Gate, the Jingyang Building, the South Gate Jingxian Gate, the Wanshan Building. West Qingyuan Gate, on the construction of the factory transport building, there is a moat outside the city, there are three passes outside the river, known as the "iron city".
I once saw an old photo of Wei County, which can accommodate four horses on both sides of the street with cornices and corners, and in the distance are the towering city walls and towers, and on the right side of the city tower is the Nan'an Temple Tower. Because of the distance, people have the illusion that the tower of Nan'an Temple is growing on the city wall.
After wandering around the county all morning, you can see a lot of shadows of the imperial capital buildings in all corners of the county, such as quadrangle, four-in-one courtyard, and nine-ring courtyard.
I walked around until the meal, climbed the city wall, took a few photos of the county seat of Wei County, and then casually found a restaurant on the street to solve lunch.
After studying several routes back to the imperial capital, I found that in addition to the way I came, I could also take another way back - from the south to Zhuozhou and back to Beijing. The advantage of this road is that it can pass through the Flying Fox Valley.
Flying Fox Valley, commonly known as Beikou Valley. It is one of the famous "Taihang Eight Mountains" in history. Feihuyu is located at the junction of Taihang Mountain Range and Yanshan Mountain Range, and is at the foot of Xiaowutai Mountain, the highest peak of Taihang Mountain Range, is an ancient passage through the intersection of Taihang Mountain, Yan Mountain and Heng Mountain, and is also an important channel leading to Shanxi Plateau and Mongolian steppe in ancient times.
Out of the county to the south not far into the Taihang Mountain, and when entering the boundary of Feihuyu, it is found that although it is a scenic spot, it has not been overdeveloped. , few cars, quiet, vegetation on both sides is well protected, green mountains rise from the ground, into a landscape gallery.
In fact, the most interesting and commendable point of Wei County is this - it has not been overdeveloped, and the commercial atmosphere is not strong. This is the case in Nuanquan Ancient Town, and even more so in Feihuyu.
Find a bend in the road and stop against the side of the road to look at the top of the mountain, there are still strange peaks and mountains in the distance, and the endless stretch in front of you is actually a flat-topped grassland, the grass is very lush, and there are strange rocks lying on it.
The strange stone of Feihuyu is not the strange stone that is small and strange in the Suzhou garden, but the spectacular vertical stone pillar, look at it like a giant, magnificent, the shape is distinctive, the local people also give them vivid names according to the characteristics of these stone pillars, such as a line of sky, Eryang God Eye, a pillar of incense, Liulang Arrow Eye, Tianqiao Treasure Mirror, Huluyu, Eight Immortal Cave, Black Stone Ridge and so on
