Chapter 51: Changing Face
After getting off the train and rushing to the hotel, it was already a little faster, and the front desk said that the guests in front had already left early, so Yanni they could check in.
Each took out their ID cards, checked in and got the room card.
Martin and Du Bai's room was opposite Yanni, and they each put down their luggage.
"Go to Liao's mother's hoof. Girls eat collagen supplements. Du Bai glanced at Martin: "Well, you also need to make up for it." ”
"Go aside!" Martin wrapped a backhand around Du Bai's neck: "I want to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, you said yes!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Du Bai took Martin's hand away from his neck with two fingers: "You haven't washed your hands, are you dirty?" ”
Martin obediently took his hand away from Du Bai's neck, and then walked up to Yanni with a hippie smile: "You don't think I'm dirty, right?" With that, he put his hand around Yanni's shoulder.
"It's okay, I don't have to eat on my shoulder anyway." One sentence made both Du Bai and Martin laugh.
Along the way, I saw a lot of Liao Mahoi flower shops, Du Bai said that those are not authentic, the authentic one is the one that turns the corner, and it can be regarded as a century-old shop.
When Yanni and the others arrived, it was already half past one o'clock, and after the peak of the meal, the three of them sat down on the first floor, near the street.
The menu is a very simple piece of plastic colored paper, there are dishes on both sides, there are also a few dishes with pictures, and the names of the dishes are also very Chengdu. For example, spicy chicken, bowl chicken, bangbang chicken, palace burst chicken......
"How much enmity do Chengdu people have with chickens?" Yanni looked at the recipe and sighed.
"No, they hate rabbits the most, spicy rabbit heads, and it feels like those eyes are open." Du Bai seems to be particularly reluctant to eat rabbit heads: "There is also roast rabbit meat." When I came to Chengdu, I never dared to eat rabbit head, and I ate roast rabbit meat once. I recommend you to give it a try! ”
"Buy it at night for supper." Yanni has already planned!
"Let's settle lunch first, and then go to Dujiangyan." Du Bai has already ordered the dish.
After a while, the dish was served.
The hoof flowers should be prepared in advance and placed in a large pot, which is why they will be served so quickly. One person and a half hoof flowers, a bowl of ice powder, and some cold pot skewers. The brown sugar glutinous rice cake is on the last because it is freshly fried.
"Chengdu eats skewers, Chongqing eats hot pot." Du Bai said while eating.
In the end, the brown sugar glutinous rice cake was packed and taken away, and half of the hoof flower was tired of eating them, although it was tender and refreshing, it couldn't stand the fat of the fat. The skewers are greasy, the ice powder is spicy, these are all eaten, almost full, Martin barely ate a piece of glutinous rice and can't eat it.
After eating, I went back to the hotel, put the packed glutinous rice cakes in the room, rested for a while, and set off for Kuanzhai Alley at half past three.
Because it is not the tourist season, many students have not yet had a holiday, so there are not many people who come to Kuanzhai Alley.
Martin walked in the middle, Du Bai walked on the left, Yanni walked on the side of the name, the three of them walked rampant on the street like crabs, occasionally passing by the opposite person, Du Bai would take the initiative to speed up the pace and walk a little ahead, and after staggering the crowd, he would slow down and retreat and walk side by side.
Martin has been holding Yanni's hand, like a father holding his daughter, for fear that his daughter will be lost.
Yanni has been looking around, attracted by the colorful objects in the shops on both sides of the street.
In a shop that sells specialty groceries, Yanni stops.
Martin looked back, and Yanni grabbed a face-changing doll. Martin also stopped.
Martin found that the little doll that Yanni was holding was indeed interesting, and every time she pressed her head, she would change into a different kind of face, about five or six types. Yanni clicked and laughed, and Martin laughed too.
Du Bai just stood there, looking at the two of them with ignorant smiles, and then laughed too.
At sunset, the three of them were like children, where you look at me, I look at you, and then there is a smirk.
"Boss, how much is this?" Martin looks at his girlfriend so much.
"The kind of five dollars in your hand." The boss crossed Erlang's legs, drank tea, and said slowly.
Martin threw down the five dollars and pulled Yanni: "Let's go, there's more fun ahead." ”
Yanni happily held the face-changing villain and followed Martin forward.
"I'll take you to watch Sichuan opera change your face at night." Du Bai walked a little forward, but his voice drifted to the ears of the two people behind him without pulling at all.
"Is there one? I want to see it now! Yanni hurriedly put away the little doll and caught up with Du Bai's pace.
"Not now, there is a show at dinner in the evening, and I will take you to one of the most famous." Du Bai slowed down: "If we want to sit in the best viewing position, we have to go early." ”
"Listen to you." Martin duly inserted himself between Du Bai and Yanni.
"It's about the same time after we finish shopping, and the last stop on the road I take you is the shop where I watched Sichuan opera." Du Bai is Du Bai, everything is arranged clearly.
"I've only seen Sichuan opera change faces on TV, and the effect is definitely different when I watch it live." Yanni was still in a state of excitement.
"Sichuan opera face changing is one of my favorite forms of performance." Du Bai explained while walking: "He is portraying the hearts of the characters through a variety of different faces. To see the face change, not only to see the face change, but also to understand and imagine the content of the performer's performance at that time. ”
"I really don't know if you don't say it, I just know that it's fun to watch face change!" Yanni laughed: "It seems that it is really an insider who looks at the doorway, and a layman who looks at the excitement." I'll have to do some research at dinner in the evening. ”
"There are many kinds of face changes, and there is only one I have really seen, and I guess what you watch on TV is also like this, which is called face pulling. This kind of relative simplicity is to draw the face mask on a piece of silk, tie a silk thread to each face, and then paste the silk mask on the face, and then change the face by pulling the silk thread. ”
"Don't look at me so easily, it's actually quite complicated. First of all, you have to have the technology to draw a face, and then tie the silk thread, how can you tie it so that you can't see it, and there is also a face painting, how can you paste it so that you can't see that there are so many ...... Everything, everything, is not so easy. ”
"In addition, there is also wiping your face and blowing your face, not to mention, this requires skills, how many years of practice and stable performance on the stage." Du Bai thought for a while, and then continued: "I have also heard of a kind of change of face called luck, which is purely based on the child's skill of an actor, I have never seen this." ”
"Du Bai, you really know a lot!" Martin couldn't help but praise Du Bai, if he hadn't brought Du Bai out with him, this trip would probably be for nothing!
"When I come out to play, people who are familiar with the local folk customs will come to me as a guide, sometimes I pay for it, and sometimes my friends volunteer to be my guide." Du Bai turned his head to look at Martin and Yanni: "It's like I volunteered to be your guide." ”
"Du Bai, you are really a treasure, you know everything!" After Yan Ni praised Du Bai, she didn't forget to look back at her boyfriend again: "You are the best!" None of this without you! ”
Martin looked at his girlfriend quietly, it turned out that his girlfriend who was completely let go was like this, and it was a different style.
