Chapter 16: Relief

When Cao Yanyan heard this, she enthusiastically told Zhou Qingyang the story about Dunhuang Luobu hemp tea.

According to legend, the ancient princess of Loulan fell in love with a man who worked long in the court, which caused the displeasure of the king of Loulan. During a war, the king forcibly conscripted the man into the army.

After the man set out on the expedition, Princess Loulan stood by the river every day and waited for the man to return. Day after day, year after year, the princess waited persistently, but died prematurely due to the pain of lovesickness.

The princess entrusted her long-cherished wish to her descendants, and incarnated as a Luo Bu Ma tree by the river, and anyone who drank Luo Bu Ma tea would live a long and healthy life.

There is also a saying in Dunhuang, Dunhuang Eight Monsters, Luo Bu Ma people love. Luobu hemp tea is not only a tea to drink in water, it also has health benefits. ”

"Health benefits? Yanyan, can you tell us about the miraculous effects of this Luobu hemp tea? Zhou Qingyang asked curiously.

Cao Yanyan felt that her throat was a little dry, and coughed lightly, but she must have splashed a lot of saliva stars just now.

"Luobu hemp tea can calm the liver and calm the nerves, clear heat and water, like what liver yang dizziness, palpitations, insomnia, edema, less urine, hypertension, neurasthenia, nephritis edema, these are all effective.

In addition, Dunhuang Luobuma is a treasure all over the body, known as the three treasures of Dunhuang, the eight monsters of Dunhuang. The flowers and leaves of Luobuma can be made into health care tea for prevention and treatment of three highs, detoxification and laxative. Luo Bu hemp stalks peel hemp fiber, natural anti-odor and antibacterial, can be made into shoes and socks, underwear and bedding refreshing, anti-odor and disease prevention, Luo Bu hemp root can be used in medicine. ”

After listening to Cao Yanyan's explanation, everyone also had a strong interest in the originally inconspicuous Luobu hemp tea.

"Yanyan, what are the three treasures of Dunhuang you mentioned just now, what are the eight monsters of Dunhuang?" Zhou Qingyang suddenly became a primary school student and asked questions seriously.

Cao Yanyan didn't expect that Zhou Qingyang, who was silent when he got in the car before, now became a question machine, one question after another......

Cao Yanyan is glad that she has only been the cultural spokesperson of Dunhuang before, so for the three treasures of Dunhuang, the eight monsters of Dunhuang are really like a few treasures.

"I'll talk about the eight monsters of Dunhuang first, the first strange perfume pear in Dunhuang to be sold in black, the second strange air-dried steamed bun is broken and dried, the third strange pulp water noodles relieve the heat, the fourth strange donkey meat yellow noodles are dragged outside the door, the fifth strange 39 Suoyang people participated, the sixth strange wine dates are not bad fresh, the seventh strange Luobu hemp tea is loved by everyone, and the eighth strange elm money is also a dish."

Just introducing the names of the eight monsters can not satisfy everyone's curiosity about the eight monsters of Dunhuang, so Cao Yanyan carefully talked about the characteristics of each monster to everyone, just when it came to the third monster, the business car has stopped at the door of the Dunhuang B&B Hotel.

The driver, Li Dangdang, called to Helan Mountain behind him, "Director He, it's here." ”

Cao Yanyan looked at the people who were still unsatisfied with an apologetic face, "Due to the relationship of time, the experts will go back to the room to put their luggage first, and then Yanyan will send the relevant books of the Three Treasures of Dunhuang and the Eight Monsters of Dunhuang that I just mentioned to each expert's room." ”

Zhou Qingyang said to Ouyang Jie beside him, "Ajie, I find that I like this place. ”

Ouyang Jie looked out the window faintly, with a lot of thoughts, his parents had lived in Dunhuang for nearly 30 years, and his childhood was here.

"Xiaojie, remember to help me find a glow-in-the-dark cup with good color when you go to Dunhuang this time......" Ouyang Jie's arm was turned around by Zhou Qingyang, and he came back to his senses.

Ouyang Jie didn't hear what Zhou Qingyang said just now, "Qingyang, did you tell me what you just said?" ”

Zhou Qingyang rolled his eyes at Ouyang Jie, "You idiot, hey, I just told you that I seem to like this place." ”

Ouyang Jie answered, and followed everyone out of the car.

After each went back to his room to pack his luggage, Chen Yuliang walked last, and he pulled Helan Mountain aside.

"You told him everything?"

Helan Shan looked around, slapped Chen Yuliang's hand holding his arm away, and said in a bad temper.

"Yes, but I also persuaded him, it's okay, you don't know anything. Wen Guang is dead-eyed, he won't let you say it, you really don't say it. ”

Chen Yuliang was a little angry by Helan Mountain, and when Cao Wenguang was dying that year, he flew from Jiangcheng to Dunhuang, and was stunned to stay in front of Cao Wenguang's bed for seven days and seven nights......

Chen Yuliang only felt as if he had broken his trust Cao Wenguang, "Lao He, it's not right for you to do this, we all promised to keep our mouths shut, and now that you tell Stephen, I'm afraid...... Stephen isn't young anymore, in case he's ...... emotionally"

Chen Yuliang has his own worries, after all, Stephen is seventy years old this year, and Stephen is no longer young.

"Don't worry, he's fine, after so many years, he still has to be relieved, right?" Helan Shan put his hand on Chen Yuliang's shoulder, sighed faintly, and persuaded Chen Yuliang.

"But......" Chen Yuliang didn't finish speaking, Helan Shan patted Chen Yuliang on the shoulder, "Don't say it, Yanyan is here." ”

After Cao Yanyan completed the check-in procedures for everyone, she saw that Helan Shan and Chen Yuliang were still walking behind, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Uncle He, Uncle Chen, it's not too early, Uncle Chen, this is your room card, your luggage Expert Shen has carried it upstairs for you, and your room is opposite Expert Shen."

After Chen Yuliang took the room card from Cao Yanyan's hand, he thanked him and turned around and walked towards the hotel lobby.

"Yanzi, there is still something to do in the institute, you can take Professor Chen, Dr. Stephen, and Expert Shen to the Dunhuang Bazaar for a walk, and introduce our Dunhuang humanities and folk customs."

Helan Shan patted Cao Yanyan on the shoulder, and after some instructions, he took his own car and left.

Cao Yanyan only reacted after Helan Mountain left, she seemed to have forgotten to apply for funds, and she was slandering in her heart.

The driver, Li Dang, was about to go to the hotel lobby to pick up a cup of warm boiled water with his water cup, but when he saw Cao Yanyan at the door, he asked with concern, "Yanzi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cao Yanyan saw that it was Li Dangdang, and whispered, "Uncle Li, I forgot to apply for funds with Director He just now, I don't want to go to the Dunhuang Bazaar for a while, there are so many delicacies in it, I have to invite experts to taste it, right?" ”

Li Dangdang grinned, "Yanzi, your worries are superfluous, our cultural relics institute has a cooperative relationship with the Dunhuang Bazaar, every time we bring guests there, we will consume first and settle later, don't be afraid." ”

Cao Yanyan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, "That's good, Uncle Li, are you picking up water?" I'll help you! ”

Saying that, Cao Yanyan snatched the cup in Li Dangdang's hand and walked towards the hotel lobby.

Li Dangdang shook his head, looking at Cao Yanyan's back, the corners of his eyes became wet, "It's a pity that Cao Gong, you left early, you see that Yanzi has grown up now......"
