Chapter 130: Preparing for the Army (II)
Hearing Li Chen say that he couldn't afford it, Chairman Zhang thought about it carefully and felt that Li Chen's words were reasonable, so he dispelled his mind: "What you said is very right, after this, I will have to worry about military expenses." ”
"So," Li Chen took over, "we can't afford to raise it, so don't make up your mind." Besides, Shui Lan won't agree. ”
"yes, I wouldn't agree. Shui Lan also echoed.
"Hehe," Chairman Zhang smiled helplessly, "I won't fight his idea anymore." ”
"Grandpa Zhang, this conscription work is still the same as before, but this political trial is a little stricter. Also, I'd like to take a look at the unit you're talking about. Li Chen thought for a while and said.
"No problem. Chairman Zhang agreed, and then asked, "Aren't you going on vacation? Why, are you free again?"
"No, I mean, when I get back. Li Chen explained.
"Master, let's go, there's no point here. At this time, Shui Lan interjected.
"Okay, Grandpa Zhang, we'll take our leave. Li Chen borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. In fact, he was afraid that if he stayed for a while, Shui Lan might cause something.
Back at home, Li Chen called all three daughters together and announced his vacation.
"Husband, where are we going to play?" the three girls asked.
"You say, in eight days, there is really nowhere to go. Think about it and tell me. Li Chen said.
"Shennongjia, Kunlun Mountain. Shui Lan said first.
"Husband, I want to go to Dunhuang. Wang Lu said softly.
"What about you?" asked Li Chen to Zhou Ying and Xuanyuan Feifei.
"Anyway, I've already been to these places, and it's okay to go again. Xuanyuan Feifei said first.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I'm by your side, I'm already very satisfied. Zhou Ying continued.
Li Chen couldn't help but feel pity, gently hugged Zhou Ying, and said, "Okay, let's go to Dunhuang first, then Kunlun, and then take Shennongjia." ”
After a night of discussion, Li Chen finally dispelled Shui Lan's idea of driving a spaceship to Dunhuang instead.
Early the next morning, Li Chen put on his mask and a pair of thick sunglasses, and took his three daughters and Shui Lan to the airport.
Li Chen chose economy class this time, which was the first time for Li Chen, in the past, he either flew by himself or took first class. Therefore, after finding a seat and sitting down, Li Chen looked around curiously.
The plane rushed into the blue sky and headed west.
"Miss, bring me a glass of water. At this time, Shui Lan Yin and Yang shouted strangely.
"Kids, we have Coke, green tea, Sprite, orange juice, which one do you want?" a coolly dressed stewardess walked in.
"Okay, give me a drink. Shui Lan said with a wicked smile.
Poof! Li Chen was amused, and just drank it into a mouthful of teapot: "Boy, you did it on purpose." ”
"Hey, brother. Shui Lan touched her head embarrassedly: "I'm just joking." ”
Mogao Grottoes, also known as "Thousand Buddha Caves", is located at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang County. It is the largest and most famous Buddhist art grotto in China. The size of the grottoes is different, the statues are of different heights, the big ones are majestic and vigorous, the small ones are delicate and exquisite, and the profoundness of their attainments and the richness of their imagination are very amazing.
Mingsha Mountain is located seven kilometers away from the southern suburbs of Dunhuang City. The whole mountain is made of sand, and the peaks are steep, like a knife edge. The grains of sand are colorful in the sun, and the locals are used to calling it colored sand. There is a moist sand layer under the dune, the wind blows the sand grains and vibrates, and the sound can cause the resonance of the sand layer, so it is called Mingsha. According to the official version, when the weather is fine, when the breeze blows, Mingsha Mountain will emit the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras, like playing music, but in fact, the breeze blows, and there will be a mournful sound in the winding parts of Mingsha Mountain, like a ghost crying wolf howl (the author has heard it with his own ears).
The crescent moon spring is at the foot of Mingsha Mountain, and it is one of the "Eight Views of Dunhuang" since the Han Dynasty, and it is named "Yuequan Xiaoche". The crescent moon spring is curved like a crescent moon and is known as the "first spring in the desert". The shape of the crescent moon is like the old through the ages, the place of the bad realm is clear and springy, the sand mountain is not drowned in the sand, and the old fish in the ancient pond are not old.
"Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west. Is this the Yangguan in the ancient poem?" Li Chen sighed after getting off the plane.
At this time, it was already noon, Li Chen led the three girls into the county seat of Dunhuang, and became a local snack, the so-called eight monsters of Dunhuang: perfume pears should be sold in black; donkey meat and yellow noodles were dragged outside the door; slurry water noodles were relieved of the heat; air-dried steamed buns were broken and dried; Sanjiu Suoyang people participated in the competition; wine dates were not bad when they were fresh; Luobu hemp tea was loved by everyone; and elm money was also a dish.
After eating all the food, Li Chen led everyone to embark on the road of exploring ancient culture.
"Grape wine glow-in-the-dark glass, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, Jun Mo smiled, and a few people came back to fight in ancient times. Is this the luminous cup?" In the evening, Li Chen sat in a hotel, playing with a small luminous cup as thin as a cicada's wing, dark green, and sighed.
"Of course it's been a long time. Master, I have it here. After Shui Lan finished speaking, he took out a piece of wine from his arms and handed it to Li Chen.
Li Chen took it and saw that this wine turned out to be a bottle of Lafite from 1885 that he had treasured.
"Why are you here?and, where did you get it from?" asked Li Chen, widening his eyes.
"Hey, hey. Shui Lan stuck out his tongue: "It's just the last time I secretly hid it, and besides, the four-dimensional space technology is a very simple thing, don't think that only you cultivators can." ”
"Honestly, do you still have it?" hand it over!" Li Chen was anxious.
"No, I swear, I'll hide a bottle!" Shui Blue rolled his eyes and defended.
". Li Chen glanced at Shui Lan: "Since you don't say it, then you can keep it." ”
"Husband, how do you say this luminous cup, how can it be so thin?"
"Let me explain. Li Chen was just about to speak, but Xuanyuan Feifei preemptively said: "It's hand-carved." Through a kind of machine, the black jade is polished as thin as a cicada's wings. Tomorrow, we will go to the luminous cup factory, and I will take you to see it. ”
"Yes, it is a myth to talk about the origin of this luminous cup. However, it does exist, but the world does not understand it. Li Chen took the words: "Ji Man, the king of the Western Zhou Dynasty, went to the Yaochi grand event at the invitation of the Queen Mother of the West, and the Queen Mother of the West gave Ji Man a sparkling wine glass, called 'Luminous Cup', and since then the luminous cup has been famous for thousands of years. The luminous glass has a unique shape, a unique style, a smooth texture, a touch, colorful color, like jade, poured into the wine, the wine color is crystal clear. Especially in the reflection of the bright moon, the clear jade liquid shines through the walls of the cup as thin as eggshells. ”
