'Bang dang, bang dang' Fang Monan They got on the old-fashioned train heading south at noon, with the word 'slow', fortunately they were prepared in advance, they sat on a hard sleeper. In the beginning, they were still looking out of the window with great interest, with low cities, villages, and fields. Later, I gradually lost my interest after seeing too much, but fortunately, Fang Monan was prepared, and two days before leaving, he asked his mother to make a backpack out of green canvas. It was symbolically filled with books and fruits, and anyway, it was full of money, and I just took out some book fruits. Mobei has to eat, the remaining four adults want to play cards, but unfortunately grandma can't, so I have to take the magazine to read, although the font is traditional, they have seen a lot, they can already understand, only grandma, but it does not affect her to see the pictures.

Fang Monan nibbled on the apple, 'click, click', "You love apples so much." Auntie looked at her and said.

"Apples are also known as wisdom fruits, and if you eat too much, you won't get angry, you say I can't eat it." 'Click, click' is two more bites, crisp and sweet.

"You still need wisdom, you're almost fine, villain." While holding it up and casually flipping through the headlines of the daily newspaper. A long song of praise. "Give me one." Auntie stretched out her hand.

Fang Monan took one out of his canvas pocket and handed it to her, "Hey, auntie, take a look, is your college entrance examination essay in the newspaper." The space is very small, but the content is very similar to what she said at the time, and then I looked for it and found my aunt's name, which was really written by her, but I didn't expect it to be in the newspaper.

"I'll see." Old Man Lin took the newspaper and nodded while reading. "Ah, it's really our Xiaoyan's article. Uh-huh, written no, it's profound. ”

"No." Qi Qiushi, who had just drawn hot water from outside, asked curiously.

"Oh, it's my aunt's essay that has been in the newspaper." Fang Menan said to him.

"Ah, that's great, let me see." Qi Qiushi took the newspaper from the old man's hand, read it carefully, and was very frightened, feeling that the distance between him and Xiaoyan was even farther away, but it also made him secretly decide, that is, he couldn't be admitted to college like her, but also studied on his own and worked hard to narrow the gap.

Old Man Lin glanced at them meaningfully, and didn't say that when this trip was over, they would all change profoundly. It's never too late to talk about these things on the way back, so let go and have fun.

After shaking for more than 20 hours, the next day I finally arrived at Shanghai, the largest city in China. After getting off the train, standing on the flat ground, I still felt shaky and unstable. Out of Huhai Old North Station, they bought a local transportation map. Then Fang Monan and the others first found a restaurant to eat, the lunch box on the train was too unpalatable, Fang Monan basically ate fruit as a meal, and the other two of them ate some together, padding their stomachs.

A small restaurant with a small door, spacious after entering, warm orange color, and promote appetite. Five tables, the benches are simple and clean, and it's not enough to eat at noon, so there is no one inside, only a few of them.

They were greeted by a young man with a smile on his face, very cheerful, in his twenties, of medium height, wearing an apron, and on the whole, clean and fresh. Fang Monan and the others had just ordered a dish, watching him write it in a small book, hanging the pen on his clothes, turning around and leaving, and after a while, a simple meal on the table was ready, and the taste of everyone was not as good as at home, but it was just a local dish, and everyone was a little unaccustomed to it. There's no way to be at home for a thousand days, and it's hard to go out for a day, so make do with it

The development of Shanghai and Hai during this period obviously lagged behind Lingnan Province, and there was no way to move the policy lightly, and the national strength was in the south, and it did not enter the fast lane of development. Everything is so quiet, and the material is not dazzling, it is like a yellowed old photo in Fang Monan's eyes.

Since the 90s of the 20 th century, and especially since the beginning of the 21 st century, Shanghai and Haihai have taken the construction of the "four centers" as the goal and the implementation of the main strategy of "rejuvenating the city through science and education" as the starting point, further expanded the opening up of the country and abroad, and accelerated the innovation of science and technology and the system, so that the national economy can maintain a good momentum of rapid and healthy development, and the internal driving force of economic growth has been continuously strengthened, and it has made great strides forward.

At this time, there are not many cars and people in later generations, Fang Monan They have a lot of money and money, so they first found a place to live, and they lived in a big room in the basement for cheapness, a dozen or so people in a big shop, a dime a night, stuffy and hot, it was really unbearable. In particular, it is not possible to enter the space. Fang Monan was forced until dawn, he really couldn't stand it, and after discussing with his grandmother and Old Man Lin, he withdrew from the bed, and there was no reason to abuse him so if he had money.

They were in poor spirits, and they went to Nanjing Road first at their first stop, and everyone was attracted by the prosperity of Nanjing Road. The spirit immediately recovered a lot. There are a lot of people on the sidewalks, people are wearing old and simple Oh, the colors are very dull, and many big men wear shorts, and they rarely see fat people. Crowded with slow buses and trams, passing through the middle of the road, and occasionally passing cars.

If the Bund is reserved for lovers to stroll, then Nanjing Road is a good place for all Shanghai people to press the road. Nanjing Road, the road that best understands Huhai. During the period of the Republic of China, this road was already famous as the "Ten Mile Ocean Field". A century-old avenue, after the vicissitudes of life, but still prosperous. The road is full of people, walking calmly, hurrying, sitting and resting, or turning into every shop with great interest.

Fang Monan and the others didn't have a good rest last night, and Nanjing Road just passed by in a hurry. It was almost noon, the weather was too hot, and standing on the Bund, they were in no mood for appreciation.

Fang Monan turned around and saw the Peace Hotel on the Bund, so he went there to rest.

"Mom, we're really going to live there, it doesn't seem cheap there." Auntie said to them.

'I have a way, no one can change Nannan's decision, just live and live anyway, it's not that I can't afford to live. Grandma scolded in her heart, "It's better to live there, I'll pay for it, what are you anxious about." "Grandma paused and said that we will go and live there, so it is decided, and there are no objections."

The group walked towards the Peace Hotel, a historic hotel with Gothic architectural style buildings, like a pearl embedded in the Bund International Architecture Expo, shining brightly.

The front desk service is superb, efficient and fast. They were greeted as a home away from home. Looking at the luxurious decoration in the hotel, the aunt kept smacking her tongue, muttering how much it cost a night. ”

Walking here, it is like being in a tunnel, and you are full of imagination in the fusion of modern and traditional, trendy and retro.

Fang Monan asked for three rooms, one room 10 yuan, the room area is about 30 square meters, the furnishings are very new, exquisite furniture, TV, with sanitary bathing facilities.

In short, it is very comfortable, Fang Monan and Grandma have one room, Auntie and Mobei have one room, and Old Man Lin and Qi Qiushi have one.

In Old Man Lin's room, Qi Qiushi paced back and forth, muttering incessantly that this was too extravagant, and how much it would cost. "Fingers broken]" Old Man Lin looked at him amusedly, like an irritable cat.

Qi Qiu tried his best to hint in his heart, but how could he not be in a hurry, seeing that she was about to fly away, who had something to do in the past four years. Forget it, it's that he can't run, it's not that he can't force it, or listen to the old man to take a good look and think about it.

"Okay, let's take a shower first, this stinky sweat." Old Man Lin no longer cares about him in deep thought, these things still have to rely on comprehension.

They all washed up and went to the restaurant to eat. "Huh...... The food here is average, not as good as what we eat at home? ”

The aunt took a few bites and commented, "It's really not worth it to have such an expensive room fee." ”

"It's not that it's not delicious, it's just that we northerners can't get used to eating local food, so let's make do with it when we go out," Mr. Lin said.

After everyone had eaten, Fang Monan took out the fruits from the room and handed them to them one by one.

"It's still delicious fruit." Auntie nibbled on an apple and said.

"Now that we are full of food and drink, let's set off on Nanjing Road." This time, their group was full of energy and took a good look at the bustling Nanjing Road. If it's a store, just enter it, just look at it. After two hours, Grandma and Old Man Lin couldn't do it, and Fang Mobei couldn't stand it, only Auntie was still interested. In the end, it was decided that Old Man Lin took Xiaobei and waited on the Bund.

During that period, people who went on business trips to Shanghai would always buy back the items that their colleagues asked them to carry in large bags, but in fact, some of these goods were not as novel as the items in Liangzi's shop. But it is just this feeling of shopping, my aunt still wants to go shopping, and Qi Qiushi has to sacrifice her life to accompany her.

Fang Monan decided to buy some, and the goods in Huhai at this time were guaranteed in quality and quantity. There shouldn't be a fake bar here, she pulled her grandmother to the department store, and swept the Moutai wine and Wuliangye on the counter, and the wine at this time was as cheap as cabbage in her eyes.

Grandma was dumbfounded, pulled her aside, and whispered Nannan, what are we buying liquor for?"

"Gifts, or drinks, it's so cheap, it's okay to wait for appreciation, although it's not as great as the appreciation potential of special wine." Fang Monan said, in short, you can't buy it.

Buying too much is easy to attract the attention of others, so Fang Monan and the others finally bought two bottles, and when they went out, while others were not paying attention, Fang Monan put the wine into the space and continued to look for the next store. During this trip, Fang Monan bought a lot of liquor.

Fang Monan also bought a Minguang quilt, pure cotton texture, wear-resistant, smooth and crisp, bright color, long-term washing, fine and elegant flower type, the color pattern is mostly traditional peony flower basket, phoenix, swallow and other traditional festive elements, there are orange, red, blue three colors.

Minguang quilt sheet is the first professional enterprise in China to enter the home textile industry and form a brand advantage. After more than half a century of ups and downs, the Minguang brand has been deeply rooted in the hearts of several generations of consumers and has become a well-known time-honored brand in the home textile industry.

Fang Monan exaggerated and bought more than 20 pieces, which shocked her grandmother, "You girl, what are you spending so much money for?" What do you need to do?"

"Grandma, you don't understand, that's good." Fang Monan said, "There will always be a day when it runs out." ”

In addition, Fang Monan also bought many time-honored products, such as: Zhang Xiaoquan scissors, small garden cloth shoes, red heart iron, phoenix blanket, white rabbit toffee, and canned Merlin.

After the sweep, grandma saw that she stopped buying, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You just moved the department store." ”

"Really." Fang Monan smiled, still believing it.

"You...... Monkey business. Grandma scolded.

"Huh...... Fun for you. Fang Mo Nandao, grandma was teased by her, and she made you cry and laugh.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm measured." Fang Monan said with a rare solemnity.

"Hey, I can't control you." Grandma waved her hand, "You just have to be measured." ”

Fang Monan and his grandmother went to the Bund to find Old Man Lin and Xiaobei.

Fang Monan stood on the Bund, looking at Lujiazui on the other side of the Huangpu River, when there was no Oriental Pearl, no World Financial Center, no Jin Mao Tower, and no Shangri-La, and the Huangpu River Ferry Terminal came up, he was really full of emotion.

Nanjing Road at night is much quieter than during the day, the night economy has not yet begun, only the street lights are full of shadows, and there is less flashing neon lights, which is really unaccustomed.

In the next week, Fang Monan and the others took a look at the scenic spots in Shanghai, such as: Longhua Temple, Jing'an Temple, Jade Buddha Temple, Chenghuang Temple, and Yu Garden, all of which grandma loved to see and visit.

As a foodie, it is impossible for Fang Monan to give up this journey and look for a time-honored restaurant restaurant. Time-honored brand, a timeless, noble and glorious name, only it can taste the unique old taste of the city.

The most famous on Yunnan Road are Peking Duck and Little Jinling Salt Water Duck. There are also "fresh" pork rib rice cakes, "Xiao Shaoxing" white chopped chicken, "Nanxiang" xiaolongbao, Tianjin Goubuli buns, Shandong dumplings, "old Sichuan" hot pot, etc., of course, the most "heart-wrenching" is "Xinjiang roast mutton", you can smell the fragrance of mutton from afar, buy a bunch for a few cents, Fang Monan let them leave Yunnan Road when they are a little reluctant.

Now the tourism has not been developed, what I saw was the original, and I went to the famous Confucian Temple used book stall with great interest, and found a lot of good.

On the last day, they had a table of wine at the most exclusive international restaurant at that time, worth 30 yuan and Moutai 8 yuan. The standard of this table is very high, among which is a mixed hot pot, next to it is pomfret with tomato sauce, overlord duck with duck eggs, crab roe tofu, smoked fish, and braised hooves. Drink orange water, after drinking it, there will be a yellow layer on the tongue.

Fang Monan and his party went all the way south, abundant, stop-and-go, followed the railway to the west, to the West Lake, the beauty is in the West Lake, the Song Dynasty began to call the West Lake.

There are three islands in the lake: the three pools of the moon, the pavilion in the center of the lake, and the Nguyen Gong dun. The clouds and mountains are the background color of the West Lake; The blend of landscape and humanity is the style of the West Lake Scenic Area. The wonder of the West Lake lies in the fact that the lake is wrapped in the mountains, and outside the mountain screen lake, the lake and the mountains complement each other. The beauty of the West Lake lies in the fact that it is clear and cloudy, and it is empty in the rain, and it can become a scene regardless of rain, snow, or cloud. The lake area is known for its beautiful scenery of the Su Causeway and the White Causeway. The Su Causeway and the White Causeway traverse the West Lake, dividing the West Lake into five parts: Xili Lake, Xiaonan Lake, Yue Lake, Outer Lake and Li Lake. Whenever the morning light is first opened, Cebu is like smoke, and the mist rises on the surface of the lake, the beautiful scenery of "six bridges and smoke willows" appears, which is one of the ten views of Qiantang.

Fang Monan and they continued to travel west, climbed Lushan Mountain, admired the magic of nature, pedaled the Tengwang Pavilion, savored the humanistic atmosphere, and the literati and scholars of the past dynasties took the Tengwang Pavilion as the theme of the poems.

They continue westward to Yuelu Mountain, which is quiet and cool in the middle of summer, and Yuelu Mountain is famous for its beautiful forests and deep mountain streams. Cherish trees, the six dynasties podocarpus, Tang and Song Dynasty ginkgo, Ming and Qing pine camphor are quite famous.

Lu Academy is located at the eastern foot of Yuelu Mountain, founded in the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong gave the name Yuelu Academy. It is the largest and best-preserved academy complex in China. It's a pity that it is still a little dilapidated, but it has witnessed the vicissitudes and changes of history, and it has a unique style. After Mr. Lin's explanation, they seemed to be able to hear the sound of reading and smell the fragrance of ink when they walked inside, and seemed to be able to see the prosperity of the past.

They went north again, looking at the 800-mile Dongting Lake, at this time the natural environment was not destroyed by anyone, it was really rippling blue waves, vast smoke waves, and fish could be seen in the clear water. Its scenery is beautiful and charming, vast and roundabout, the mountains are abrupt, its biggest feature is that there is a lake outside the lake, there are mountains in the lake, the fishing sails are dotted, the reed leaves are green, the water and the sky are the same color, and the gulls and herons fly and fly. No wonder Li Bai Shiyun: Sweep the Ming Lake to open the jade mirror, and Danqing painted Junshan.

Climb Yueyang Tower to browse the lakes and mountains of Dongting Lake for 800 miles. Since ancient times, it has the reputation of "Dongting Tianxia Water, Yueyang Tianxia Tower". It's a pity that Fang Monan and they didn't come at the right time, because this place is being overhauled and is not open to the public, so they have to take pictures of the overhauled Yueyang Tower, which is also a rare opportunity.

At this time, the scenery is pleasant, there is no pollution, less artificial craftsmanship, and more nature. Along the way, the camera in Fang Monan's hand kept 'clicking, clicking. ’

Of course, during this period, Fang Monan still led his grandmother to act alone, going to the time-honored stores in these cities to buy some 'old'. Such as: Hangzhou's silk, embroidery, silk umbrella, indispensable authentic Longjing tea, Wang Xingji fan has a long history, exquisite production skills, beautiful fan decoration, Hunan embroidery interstitials, handkerchiefs, scarves, double-sided embroidered screens and other handicrafts.

Grandma always muttered in her mouth for this reason, Fang Monan is a little loser, and he doesn't spend money like this.

Fang Monan always smiled and said that it was cheap, cheap was really cheap, and it was worth the money. At this time, the price was really low, in her opinion, it was cheap, and everything was genuine, hand-embroidered, not adulterated, but not machine-embroidered in the future.

Everywhere Fang Monan went, they didn't let go of any of these time-honored restaurants, and they ate them all over again, greatly satisfying their appetites.

At this time, it is not like traveling in the future, getting on the bus to sleep, getting off the car to see the temple, the black crowd is like locusts transiting, terrifying, people seem to have hunger and thirst. A little bit of a small discount, a little cheap. It seems to have become a limited-time rush in the supermarket, desperately grabbing, as if there is no such store in this village after the end. The more people who go, the more it means that they have no money, so they will care about these small discounts, and live at home is to be diligent and thrifty, and the mentality of saving is to have security in the future.

Yes, a serious illness, a broken family, a house, the savings of several generations, and the young couple have to go into debt. Therefore, the little advantage given by others is taken advantage of, and people seem to lack a sense of security, and they are not in a hurry.

It wasn't until the end of July that they went south to Yangcheng, where they had plenty of fun to enjoy. It's just a beautiful view, and there are not so many entertainment facilities at this time, which is enough for everyone to reminisce for a long time. When you're tired, just stop and rest. After getting off the train station, the others were dusty and in good spirits, Fang Monan and his party were in high spirits and high spirits, at this time, everyone was struggling for food and clothing, where did they have leisure to come out to play.
