The next day, according to the plan, everyone will go to Longxuding in Yunkai Village first, Yinyanding the next day, and the ancient forest in Dayuan Village the day after tomorrow.

Jackton and the others held a few corns and nibbled on them for a while, and after they were full, everyone was ready to go. Chujiazhai in Yunkai Village is not too far away, just a village apart.

"Go back and get an extra piece of clothing, it's a lot higher than ours, and the climate tends to be cold." Chu Jiaqiang wore a short-sleeved shirt when he saw someone, and frowned. In Chujiazhai, the temperature in the morning is relatively low, Chen Wu and they have been here for a long time, and they have slowly become cold-tolerant, and a short-sleeved shirt in the morning feels very cool.

The people in Yunkai Village are also relatively wealthy, and there are many overseas Chinese there, which is the overseas Chinese village in Heqian Town. Therefore, people's roads are paved with cement, which is easier to walk.

Some tourists hear that they are going to a new place, and many people go with them. A large group of people were in a hurry, and Chu Jiaqiang's car was driving in front.

The car passed through Zhuyuan Village, and then circled all the way up, as if it was about to ascend to the sky. You can clearly feel the drop in temperature, and the moisture is still heavy.

After more than half an hour, everyone came to Yunkai Village. To the surprise of many tourists, such a high place, there is actually a street, it seems, today is just in time to catch the market, there are a lot of pedestrians, those small traders are shouting and slipping away, especially seeing so many people coming, they shouted harder.

There are only two polders in Heqian Town, one is Heqian Street, which is the center of the town, and the other is here. It can be said that the streets here are older than those in the center of town. The history is longer.

It is said that this was the center of the town in the past. Yunkaiwei was built in the early years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. There are more than 30 shops. From Qianlong to before the Opium War, Gaoxin City exported a large number of blue indigo.

Then. The blue indigo in Baishi, Dacheng, Qianpai, Hongguan and Huaixiang is mostly Yunkaiwei as a transit station, and it is transported to Luojing in Luoding through this to Wuzhou and Guangfo by waterway; The commercial exchanges between Gaoxin City and Luoding and Guangfo also pass through Yunkaiwei, and the shoulder-to-shoulder transportation is endless, so the commerce and tourism industry have been very prosperous.

The early years of Qing Daoguang. Huang Mingguang of Yunkai Village opened four shops, "Hetaixing", "Hetaijin", "Hetaitang" and "Hetaizhan", operating various industries, concurrently operating guest houses, and connecting foreign exchange business with commercial banks in Guangzhou. It is a precedent for the exchange business of Gaoxin City. After the Opium War, foreign capitalism invaded, and the blue indigo declined, and the commerce of Yunkaiwei has been in a slump since then, and it has fallen into the current situation.

"It's surprising that there's still a street here, some of the buildings look very old." Liang Yu and the others looked to both sides and found that an old man not far away was making small handicrafts from a very long and knotted forage.

"Of course, there is a lot of history here, but it's a pity that it has declined." Chu Jiaqiang sighed.

Li Quan patted Chu Jiaqiang on the shoulder: "How can there be eternal prosperity in this world?" Even the most famous tea horse road in China can't cheer up. What is there to sigh about? ”

"Oops! This little rabbit is so beautiful, it's amazing, a piece of grass can turn into a lifelike grass rabbit. Chen Xiang walked over and picked up a rabbit woven from grass, sparing no expense.

The old man has a lot of knick-knacks woven from grass on the stall, all of which are extremely exquisite. When he saw everyone gathered around, he smiled and said, "Just look at it, take one away if you like, it's not worth it anyway." A small one, a big five. Of course, if you want something else, which is not available here, you can say it, maybe I'll make it up. ”

This old man's craftsmanship is the same as that of the sixth uncle of Chujiazhai bamboo weaving, and he is a master-level figure.

"These grasses are a specialty here, called dragon whisker grass, this is how the dragon whisker top is obtained, the old man's craftsmanship is also good, people who like it may wish to pick a few. When you go back, I suggest you bring a mat or two from here. The straw mats here are all woven with dragon's beard grass, and this grass will exude a faint fragrance after drying, which has a certain calming effect. Chu Jiaqiang said and said, he felt a little like a tour guide.

There are many places where dragon's beard grass can be found, but this one is the most special, but it is obscure. They grow in clusters among the stones, the stems are round and slender, more than 1 meter long, the lower brown fish scale leaves, in summer 10 cm from the stem tip of the flower stalk, embellished with many small flowers, pale green. This kind of grass grows in the stone marriage, mostly climbs on the stone wall, hangs down and grows, is not afraid of mountain winds, is not afraid of heavy rain and scorching sun, and is cold and heat resistant. And the grass texture is tough, solid and knotless. The length of each plant is generally about 150 cm, and the size is almost the same, which is a high-quality straw mat material for natural growth.

As soon as Chu Jiaqiang's voice fell, the gadgets on the old man's stall were robbed, and there were no slow-moving tourists. A few dollars is just two apples for them in the city.

"The straw mats in Chujiazhai were bought here, right?" Ye Qijun asked. Just now, he helped his sister snatch two straw handicrafts, a small bird, and a fish.

Chu Jiaqiang nodded: "Almost the whole town is there, the straw mats here are the best, and the price is fair." It's a pity that this grass is wild, grows in stone crevices, is difficult to cultivate artificially, and the yield is very limited, and it is precisely because of this that its fame is limited to our town. ”

"No wonder, I'm sleeping so comfortably these days." A tourist suddenly realized. However, he also overestimated the dragon beard grass here, and his good sleep was related to his mood during this time and the climate of Chujiazhai.

Hearing that the production was limited, these people had already made up their minds in their hearts. It's rare to come this time, so I have to get a few more back.

"Don't worry! You're going to hang out later, right? I'll make it up for you here, and you can get it when you come back." The old man laughed.

The people who didn't grab it just now immediately put forward their own purchase requests, and the old people wrote them down one by one.

"Old man, our town vigorously developed handicrafts a few days ago, and you can go to the town to guide the work! Why are you still setting up a stall here? Chu Jiaqiang asked puzzled.

The old man smiled indifferently, shook his head, and said, "Someone invited me to go, but I like to set up a stall every time I come out of the market and chat with the stall friends around me." ”

Get! is also a master who looks down on fame and fortune, and people don't want to be rich and rich, they like this kind of leisurely little life.

Jackton, Zhou Furong and others are looking for snacks all over the street, and the snacks here are also very good, integrating many ways to eat, after all, this was a commercial center in the past, and people from all over the world have it.

"It can be made into a small ancient town, which should be a bit interesting." A tourist suggested.

Chu Jiaqiang disagrees, many of those ancient towns in China are large-scale and have a long history. The history can only be traced back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the scale is not very large, due to everyone's low awareness of protection, many ancient buildings have been destroyed and demolished.

"Let's go eat wonton noodles, it's very special here." Chu Jiaqiang suggested.
