Chapter 25 Lanzhou Treasure Hunt
From Xining, it takes more than two hours to reach Lanzhou. Originally, I was not hungry, but Master insisted on resting in Lanzhou, so I found a hotel on Tianshui Road to stay.
Finally, I couldn't help but ask Master, "Master, do you know Qu Zhen too, tell me, where Qu Zhen is, why does everyone I meet around me know the 'answer' and know Qu Zhen, but they don't tell me anything?" ”
Master knocked me on the head and said, "I've been with me for so long, I haven't grown at all, don't ask me about this in the future, you can have a snack." ”
I was very depressed, this old boy knew it clearly, and even I felt that he had a lot to do with Qu Zhen, but he didn't tell me.
At noon, Master called someone and sat down with me at the hotel to get up. After about 20 minutes, there was a knock on the door outside the hotel. I looked at Master, and Master motioned for me to open the door. I thought to myself, this is the middle of the day, usually there is no knock on the door at night, and I will smile when I think that Master has called.
When I opened the door, there was a man standing at the door, and I looked back at Master, and said with a wicked smile, "Master, I'll go out and walk around first, so as not to disturb you." ”
Master came over and knocked me on the head and said, "This is Xiaosheng, my friend. He pointed at me again and said, "This is Xiao Shuai, now follow me to sell antiques." ”
Xiao Sheng politely stretched out his hand, and I immediately reached out to shake his hand, and then the three of them went to eat together.
When you come to Lanzhou, you must eat beef noodles. Xiaosheng led me and Master to a small shop called "Guoqiang Beef Noodles", don't look at the small shop, there are so many people in it.
Xiao Sheng first asked the master what to eat, and the master said very professionally that he wanted to add meat and eggs, and Xiao Sheng asked me again, and I also ordered the same with the master.
Xiaosheng paid at the cashier and asked for three portions of two fine meat and eggs, and the cashier gave Xiaosheng three numbers, 67, 68, and 69.
Then we waited outside the store, there was no place inside, and now we have only called more than 30.
Seeing that others were eating deliciously, I was extremely hungry, and I waited for about forty minutes before I heard our number called, and then I found a place in the store to eat.
I have to say that Lanzhou's beef noodles are indeed a must, one clear, two white, three red and four green, not bad at all, exactly the same as the one introduced on the food program, pour a plate of meat on top, peel off the eggs, mix well and eat, the noodles are very glutenous, plus the fragrance of garlic sprouts and coriander, eat a few mouthfuls of noodles, drink two mouthfuls of soup, although it is winter, I still eat sweaty, the soup is not left, it is really an endless aftertaste.
I heard from Master that Xiao Sheng is a surgeon at the University of Lanzhou University, and he happens to be in the same specialty as me, but I have not been in clinical practice for many years, and Xiao Sheng said that I have basically forgotten all those medical terms.
After lunch, Xiaosheng took us to the Gansu Provincial Museum, because I was doing antiques, I was influenced by the master, and whenever I went, as long as I had enough time, I would go to the local museum (I also went to Xining, but there was no story, so I won't repeat it).
The scale of the Gansu Museum is not small, larger than the Tibet Museum, the pottery craft of Yangshao culture is complicated, the ancient jade of Qijia culture is still intact after more than 4,000 years, and the Buddha murals of Dunhuang Grottoes are dizzying......
Of course, the most famous treasure of the Bozhen Pavilion in Gansu Province - the copper galloping horse, this famous national treasure, surrounded by people, the copper galloping horse was unearthed in Wuwei, Gansu Province in 1969, for the Eastern Han Dynasty bronzes, the artistic value is extremely high.
I won't repeat it here, the primary school texts also put this cultural relic into the textbook, the name of the year was "Horse Riding Feiyan", but later by scholars, the copper galloping horse foot is not a swallow, but a dragon sparrow, renamed "Ma Chao Dragon Sparrow", but in comparison, this name is much lower, Gansu Province Bo marked is "copper galloping horse Eastern Han Dynasty".
After waiting outside the copper galloping horse for a few minutes, the people in the inner circle left after taking pictures, and we were able to observe this national treasure up close, I saw the real thing for the first time, not as tall as I imagined, more than 30 centimeters high, kept in a sealed transparent cover, after observing and taking pictures from all angles, I heard the master "Huh" and asked him what was wrong, and he did not answer.
When I got out of the museum, Master lowered his voice and said to me, "Xiao Shuai, I think there is something wrong with that copper galloping horse." ”
I looked at Master with some suspicion and said, "Master, what do you mean, this is an imitation?" ”
Master nodded and said, "Although I didn't get started, but I feel a little problem, do you feel it," as he spoke, Master looked around at no one, and Xiao Sheng walked in front of him without paying attention to the two of us, and then he said again: "Do you think that this copper galloping horse is a bit small?" You remember, we went to school in elementary school texts, but I remember it clearly, the copper galloping horse in the illustration is very large, and it occupies a whole page of color pictures. ”
I rub it, what is this, Master shouldn't have gone out without a brain, I remember that there is indeed a copper galloping horse printed on a coloring page in the primary school textbook, but there is no scale and no reference, you can see the size. However, I didn't refute Master, nodded and said, "What Master said makes sense. ”
(By the way, next to the exit of the Buddhist art exhibition hall of the Gansu Provincial Museum, the "Tibetan scriptures" and "Uighur scriptures" on display are reversed, and the nameplate at the bottom of the Tibetan scriptures reads "Uighur scriptures", while the nameplate at the bottom of the Uighur scriptures reads "Tibetan scriptures". )
Afterwards, we returned to the hotel to rest. Xiaosheng said let's take a good rest and wait until the evening to take us to enjoy the Lanzhou style. Not long after he finished speaking, Xiao Sheng himself fell asleep on the bed.
I said in my heart, Master's friends are not all in this style.
Xiaosheng slept until it was dark, and when he woke up, he stretched out, looked at me who was playing with his mobile phone, and asked me if I was resting, and I said it was okay.
Xiaosheng got up and looked at the smoke in the room, and asked me what kind of cigarette I smoked, so choking.
I threw the cigarette case to him and said, "This kind of cigarette is called the past." ”
Xiao Sheng took the cigarette case and looked at it, and said, "Don't fool me, this clearly says Yunyan." ”
I smiled and said to Xiaosheng: "Have you heard Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye", there is a lyric in it, 'The past becomes a cloud of smoke', so the cloud smoke is also called the past of the past." ”
Xiao Sheng was obviously choked by my cold joke and looked at me with disdain.
Looking at Master again, he was meditating, I called Master, but he didn't respond, and pushed him in the past, and then he suddenly raised his head, wiped the saliva that flowed out, looked at me and Xiaosheng, and said, "Why don't you call me, I've overslept." ”
The three of them came out of the hotel and took a taxi on Tianshui Road to Zhengning Road.
At night, I don't have a good sense of direction, and I don't know the east and west, north and south, but I feel not far, drive ten minutes to Zhengning Road, Xiaosheng pointed to a small street, I saw a few red neon lights on it, written "Zhengning Road Snack Night Market", Xiaosheng took me and Master into the night market, and began to say: "This is a famous night market in Lanzhou, here, Lanzhou's local snacks and famous snacks from all over the country can be eaten, feel it." ”
In the next two hours, we started from a haggis and went to Lao Ma's honey mash eggs, meat buns, mixed noodles, Shandong pancakes, seafood barbecue, etc., and ate wildly, very satisfied.
When we came out of the night market, we walked for half an hour, and then we felt that it was not so supportive.
Back at the hotel, two hours later, almost 11 o'clock in the evening, Xiao Sheng looked at Master and me, and said mysteriously, "Take you to a good place." ”
Looking at Xiao Sheng's lascivious expression, I felt that something was going to happen next, well, something must have happened.
Xiao Sheng took me and Master out of the hotel, walked along Tianshui Road in the direction of the train station, walked a few hundred meters, we came to a neon sign that said "Mei Yuan", Xiao Sheng smiled obscenely, and said: "Let you see and see the world-famous Lanzhou." ”
Then the three of them entered the plum garden, in a large basement, after ordering a beer at the bar, we found a table and sat down, Lanzhou touch bar I heard a friend say it a long time ago, but I really came, I felt a little disappointed.
It's designed like a bar, with a dozen tables scattered and dimly lit, and you can see a lot of scantily clad women walking through the middle, and a few come to our table and ask, "Handsome guy, let's dance." ”
The dancing mentioned here is not really dancing, but to a small house on the side and a half apart, touch it, it is to let you touch, touch the time of a song, generally two or three minutes, ten yuan for a song, and ask if you want to have another song after touching it (don't ask me how I know, I just heard what people said).
But seeing these thirty or forty-year-old ladies, I was really not interested, after drinking beer we left Meiyuan, on the way Xiaosheng explained: "Alas, now Lanzhou's high-grade touch bars are closed, there is only this kind of non-flow, take you to feel Lanzhou's touch bar culture." I think back then, when I first joined the work, Lanzhou touched the bar and it was really full of flowers......"
Looking at Xiao Sheng's longing expression, I swallowed and spit, hating that it was not at the right time.
It was already more than twelve o'clock when we returned to the hotel, and we were still in high spirits and couldn't stop at all, and then Xiaosheng said that this time he would take us to the bar and the streets.
I drank six or seven bottles of beer, and I was in the excitement period, and immediately agreed, and Master shook his head and walked into the bathroom, and then I heard Master vomit inside, and after two or three minutes, there was a sound of flushing, and then Master washed his hands and came out, and said, "Go, let's go now, God closed a door for us, and closed a window!" If there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, you will have to drink 300 cups! ”
Coming out of the hotel again, taking a taxi to Maijishan Road Bar Street, Xiaosheng skillfully walked to the door of a bar called "Lost City", took us in, and ordered two dozen beers.
I have always felt that KTV beer is the best, followed by bars, nightclubs, restaurants, and the most difficult to drink is dormitories, hotels, closed places where no people, no food, no music, and no atmosphere.
After drinking that night, I don't remember how I got back to the hotel. When I got up thirsty at night to drink water, I saw Master, Xiaosheng and I sleeping in the same bed, and I guess we were all drunk. I went to sleep in another bed.
