Chapter 15: Called a Man

Chapter 15 is called a man

Cao Yanyan also has the stubborn temper of a girl in the northwest, and when she saw Shen Qingcheng ignoring her and ignoring her, she felt a little aggrieved inexplicably.

"I said why are you so ungentlemanly, you look like a gentleman, and you do things like a wood. Do you want to buy a good glow-in-the-dark cup for your friend? ”

Cao Yanyan muttered and complained to Shen Qingcheng on the side, Shen Qingcheng didn't want to provoke Cao Yanyan, but seeing that Helanshan and Dr. Stephen were about to walk to the front of the car, Shen Qingcheng thought that more things were better than less, and he finally opened his mouth.

Cao ...... Cao Yanyan, I'm sorry, I can't stand you just now, there are a lot of adults, I don't usually like to talk, you say it's boring, it's a wood or not, I'm a personality. What, my friend's glow-in-the-dark cup is still up to you. ”

Shen Qingcheng spoke at a slow pace, and his voice was magnetic, which made Cao Yanyan stunned. "That'...... Man, has anyone told you that your voice is very good, like the voice of the anchor......"

Shen Qingcheng replied to Cao Yanyan shyly, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

When Helan Mountain got into the car, he heard Shen Qingcheng politely say thank you and praise to Cao Yanyan, he was very curious, "Yanyan, how did you praise Expert Shen just now?" ”

Cao Yanyan covered her mouth and smiled, "Uncle He, have you found this Han ......" Half a sentence didn't come out, Cao Yanyan immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed her words, "Expert Shen's voice is very good, like the voice of the anchor." ”

Helan Shan heard the original meaning of Cao Yanyan's words, "Yanyan, don't mess with the slang of our dialect to the experts, so as not to misunderstand." ”

Cao Yanyan actually felt that it was inappropriate, after all, she and Shen Qingcheng were not familiar with each other, but for some reason she just liked to call Shen Qingcheng "man".

Helan Mountain was afraid that Shen Qingcheng would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained to Shen Qingcheng.

"Expert Shen, don't get me wrong, Yan Yan calls you a man is our local dialect slang.

The word 'Hanzi' originated in the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reigned, several generals such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi and Li Guang all defeated the Xiongnu and made great contributions, and their prestige was well-known.

Because the soldiers of our Han Dynasty fought bravely, the Xiongnu honored the soldiers of our Han Dynasty as Hanzi. The locals still use the honorific title 'Hanzi' to this day, and they call men they respect when they see them. ”

Shen Qingcheng felt a little guilty after listening to Helan Mountain's explanation, when Cao Yanyan called him a man just now, the first feeling in his heart was that Cao Yanyan was frivolous.

"Yanyan, I'm sorry just now, I blame me for being a shallow learner, I didn't know you had this slang in your local area......" Shen Qingcheng sincerely apologized to Cao Yanyan.

Stephen couldn't help but laugh on the side after listening to the story, "Lao He is right, when the people of the city do have this slang, when I first came here many years ago, some people always called me a foreign man."

At first, I thought it was a frivolous remark, but after I learned about it, they regarded me as Hua Guotong, an honorific title for me. Honestly, I'd love to be a man. ”

Stephen's words made the entourage of the Dunhuang Cultural Relics Institute laugh one after another.

The tense atmosphere in the car was dissipated by Dr. Stephen's humor, and Cao Yanyan called to the driver after seeing that everyone had arrived. "Master Li, let's go back to the Dunhuang B&B Hotel."

The driver's name is Li Dangdang, who is a full-time driver of the Dunhuang Cultural Relics Institute, with a flat head and a beer belly, although his appearance is not good, but he has the simplicity of a Northwest man.

Helan Mountain introduced Li Gandang to everyone, "This is the old driver of our cultural relics institute, his name is Li Gandang, a native of Dunhuang, who has many years of experience in accompanying scientific expeditions in the field." ”

Li Dangdang was praised by Helan Mountain, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Director He, don't dare to boast, I'll float in a while." Li Dangdang smiled honestly.

When Shen Qingcheng listened to Helan Mountain's introduction to Li Kang, he was very envious when he said that he had many years of experience in accompanying scientific expeditions.

Shen Qingcheng found that his trip to Dunhuang was probably the right thing he had done in his life.

Along the way, Cao Yanyan introduced the customs and folk customs of Dunhuang to everyone as a guide in Dunhuang.

"Dunhuang is a county-level city in Gansu Province, managed by Jiuquan City, which is located at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, at the intersection of Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang. Dunhuang is the node city of the Silk Road, famous for "Dunhuang Grottoes" and "Dunhuang Murals", and is the location of the Mogao Grottoes, a world heritage site and the Yumen Pass and Yangguan on the border of the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, and it is also a national historical and cultural city.

There are 265 cultural relics and scenic spots in Dunhuang City, including three world cultural heritages, namely Mogao Grottoes, Yumen Pass Ruins, and Hanging Spring Ruins, and 4 national key cultural relics protection units, namely Mogao Grottoes, Yumen Pass Ruins, Hanging Spring Ruins, and the Great Wall in Dunhuang.

We also have the "April 8th Temple Fair" in Dunhuang, which is a traditional folk festival. On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, local residents, especially Buddhist believers, in order to commemorate the Nirvana of Shakyamuni, bring the old and the young, gather in groups to burn incense and worship the Buddha in Mogao Grottoes, Sanwei Mountain and Leiyin Temple, and make a pilgrimage to worship their ancestors. ”

When Shen Qingcheng heard the "April 8th Temple Fair", he was a little moved in his heart, especially when he heard that people would gather in Mogao Grottoes to burn incense and worship Buddha, and make a pilgrimage to worship their ancestors, he wanted to integrate into it with his own eyes.

"Yanyan, you are really a Dunhuang pass, can you ask, is this temple fair at any other time?" Shen Qingcheng asked with a look of hope.

Cao Yanyan shook her head, "No, this April 8th temple fair has been passed down for more than 1,000 years, and every year it is on the eighth day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar. ”

Shen Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little regretful after hearing this, it was a scorching summer, and the temple fair day of April 8 had already passed, if he wanted to participate, I am afraid he could only wait until next year.

Chen Yuliang was sitting next to Shen Qingcheng, he sighed when he saw Shen Qingcheng, and hurriedly patted Shen Qingcheng on the shoulder, "Qingcheng, if you want to participate, let's come next year?" ”

Shen Qingcheng nodded, "Okay, thank you, teacher." ”

Cao Yanyan distracted Shen Qingcheng, and she continued to talk about Dunhuang's specialties to everyone.

"Dunhuang is known as 'Guazhou', so we Dunhuang is also a hometown of melons and fruits. Our Dunhuang is rich in all kinds of sweet and delicious melons and grapes.

Handmade carpets, colored sculptures, craft camels, luminous cups, crystal stone glasses, craft calligraphy and painting, wax dyeing, Dunhuang Luobu hemp tea and textiles are all Dunhuang specialties, but our Dunhuang specialties are most famous for sweet melons and fruits, Dunhuang Luobu hemp tea and luminous cups. ”

When Zhou Qingyang heard Luo Bu Ma Tea, he became interested, and he asked Cao Yanyan without saying a word.

"Miss Cao, where can I buy the Luo Bu Ma tea you just mentioned? When I came to Dunhuang this time, my wife also asked me to buy Luobu hemp tea for her. ”
