55. Birthday celebrations
(1) You Hong Cliff Cave
On October 2nd, it was nearly ten o'clock after breakfast. Because last night's movie didn't end until half past eleven, and I ate some supper before I freshened up and went to bed. Everyone overslept, let's be late, anyway, they drove by themselves, and the destination was to go to the Hongya Cave in Lilai Mountain.
A total of four cars were driven: the first was Jiang Xiayu, Liu Hongyan, Zhao Jinju, and Zhang Ping'an; the second is Zou Xiafei, Yang Gongbo, Xiang Jian, Xiang Shuai and Hu Dongmei; The third part is Lin Jie, Liu Yixian, Cheng Fengjiao and Liu Jidong (their pickup truck did not drive). Zhang Yifu and Sun Erniang felt that they were old, they were not interested, and they did not go. The last part is the fourth part, that is, the jeep of the township government borrowed by Zhou Tai, which is essentially Zhou Tai alone, and he is responsible for opening the road and contacting. No one else is familiar with it. Zhao Jinju accompanied Tu Yihong to see it once in seventy-three years, and it was a long-distance bus. Today is different, under the leadership of Jeep, followed by three famous cars: BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota. It's magnificent, it's majestic enough!
From Zhaozhuang to Hongyadong Mountain Village, it does not take an hour. After everyone got off the bus, the tickets had been bought, and everyone entered the cave in order.
Hongya Cave is located in the Lilai Mountains, where the mountains are undulating, but the mountains are not high, and the highest peak is about 400 meters above sea level. The green pines on the mountain are not old, the green leaves are eternal, the fir trees are towering, and the spotted bamboo is pavilion. There are quite a lot of thick bamboo, which can be used to make all kinds of furniture. Hongya Cave is in the middle of a forest of trees.
The entrance to the cave is on the top of a mountain. According to local farmers, at first people only used it to cool off from the wind and rain, but they did not expect that it would be a natural cave if they went deeper. After several years of development and decoration, it has now taken shape. The total length is about four miles away. From the top downhill, the field of view becomes steeper and deeper; The deepest part is about 300 meters from the entrance of the cave. The stalactites in the cave are strange, and the slope ladder is tortuous and secluded, which can really be described as "doubtful and roadless, another village". All kinds of stalactites, some upside down, some with thorns to the sky. Under the illumination of colored lights, various forms are displayed. People always say like all kinds of animals, you say like what is like anything! But if you look closely, it's still just a stone!
The wind is swishing in the cave, cool in the summer, and cold in the winter. It's autumn, but fortunately, people can stand it. It's just that the humidity is heavy, which means that there is water nearby. Listen quietly. Sure enough, there was the sound of gurgling water, the water was clear and transparent, and it was as cold as ice water when touched by hand. Going down and looking up, it is suspected that there is a small waterfall, which is also very spectacular.
Descend the river to a large pool. The road is narrow, so narrow that only one person can cross it, and you have to bend down and bow your head. It seems that there is no way out, and there is a pool in front of it. You can turn a corner along the pool, and there is a small path, which can be delayed and ascended. Looking back: the hole is big - too big to see the edge, the hole is high - too high to see the top (the top is too high to be lit), black rumbling, like a cloudy day, like a dark cloud covering the top. If you look down, you still feel very deep, and you can see the size of the hole.
When we reached the bottom, we couldn't see the way out, so I had to go out of the cave door and go to the foot of the mountain.
After leaving the cave gate, we went to the parking lot, and it was only then that everyone began to talk about the feeling of visiting. Among the people who visited were to Guiyang Cave, Guilin Reed Flute Rock Cave, and Zhangjiajie Huanglong Cave. They said that it seemed that Hongya Cave was a little worse than them, perhaps with a low level of management and a little rough decoration. But for those who have never seen a cave, it is simply surprising: there is still this fairyland cave on earth!
(2) Game restaurant
There are restaurants around the parking lot, and Zhou Tai has contacted a game restaurant. Everyone walked into the restaurant and waited for lunch.
In the game restaurant, there are really a lot of wild animals, birds and animals, roe deer, rabbits, pheasants, wild pigeons, etc. There are no animal protection laws, and farmer hunters are free to hunt them down. Those who have money can eat it. Jiang Xiayu said to the shopkeeper: "You just do it according to the most expensive one, don't save me money." But it must be good, don't take the spoiled ones to make up the number, you can't be held responsible if you get sick from eating! ”
The owner of the shop was very happy to make money: "Don't worry, it's not the first time for us, this game restaurant is not available everywhere, I promise that everything is fresh, but it may take a little longer." ”
Jiang Xiayu looked at the time, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, it was early! Just say, "It's okay, make it cleaner for me, it's okay to be hygienic, and so on!"
There are very few people who come to the game restaurant, there are not many customers, and business is poor. This also depends on the number of people in Hongya Cave, and the key is how many people dine here. How many people can enter the game restaurant. Ordinary people don't enter game restaurants, where is it expensive. For example, it is impossible to buy half a dish: suckling pigeon (wild pigeon), and it will cost at least 100 yuan to buy one. When you go to a restaurant to eat, you can't just buy one dish! Wild pigeons are cheap, but one pigeon and nine chickens (the nutritional value of one pigeon is equivalent to nine chickens), the nutritional value is high, and nine chickens are only more than 100 yuan, isn't it cheap? As a dish, a plate of wild pigeons, at least two or more! So a dish of wild pigeon: three hundred and twenty dollars. It is not so expensive in the city, because the pigeons in the city are artificially fed, and it costs more than 60 yuan to buy a single one. It's a little more expensive, but it's real game.
Nothing else, it's a few hundred yuan a dish, and the cheapest one is a pheasant, which costs 200 yuan. At the end of one meal, only eight courses of game (and six non-game dishes were opened), a total of 3,780 yuan, only one table was opened. This is a lot of extravagance in the countryside. But for people in Shanghai, it's still a small dish.
Whether it's a big meal or a side dish, I ate it anyway. I ate for nearly two hours, and it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon.
Jiang Xiayu announced that he would get on the bus and go back to Zhaozhuang, and some people suggested going to the county seat to have a look, because he didn't go to the county seat on the afternoon of the 30th. "Okay, go to the county seat!"
(3) Leping County
Leping City, Jiangxi Province is under the jurisdiction of Shangrao Prefecture and is a county and city directly under Jingdezhen City. Located in the hilly area, the original county seat is called Leping Town, a county-level institution, according to the southeast and northwest construction, there is a cross street, called the big temple. But the East Street is very short, less than 200 meters, the North Street is small, just a small alley, and the South Street is the longest, but the street entrance stops at the Le'an River. The total length is about 800 meters, which is the most lively. Where there is the only movie theater, the county town hall is also located on this street, and there is also the only department store. The houses are not high, only three or four floors! West Street is shorter than South Street, but there are six or seven storey buildings, called "Old Revolutionary Base Guest House". There is the only troupe: the Leping Gan Troupe. The only theater is still OK, and it represents Leping's entertainment career. Leping's cultural undertakings are located in the middle school outside North Street, Leping Middle School in Jiangxi Province, Zhang Ping'an's alma mater, which has been engaged in education for more than 20 years. It is only about 2,000 meters away from the temple. Jiang Xiayu introduced: "Standing in the center of the street, roaring towards the sky, the whole city can hear it, how big do you say?" ”
But now it's different, since the county was changed to a city, the construction has been very different. Crossroads, not one or two. A lot of buildings have also been built, and the expansion of North Street has been extended I don't know how many times, and it is no longer easy to call East Street North Street, but what road is named instead. There is a clear increase in signs of commercialization. Shops, malls, markets are everywhere. It's really to look up at the merchant and look down to see the goods. Entertainment has also developed, there is more than one cinema, there is also a square, where you can gather and dance. Cultural undertakings have also developed, several public middle schools have been built, and several private middle schools have been set up in recent years, such as Zhang Ping'an's "Zhenming Middle School", but it is not in Leping Town. This is just a cursory introduction. They were guided to see the backstreets of South Street and West Street, which used to be wasteland and stinky ditches. Now the small ditch has become a large ditch, like a small river (no water has been brought in for the time being). A long half-side street was built along the ditch. There is a closed promenade, which is not afraid of the sun and rain, and non-motorized tricycles can pass on the corridor. Shops everywhere. There are a lot of people on the street. Zhao Jinju said: "If the ditch leads the water into a small river, you can sail on the water, the promenade forms a flower gallery, and then decorates the lanterns, which is really a scenery." ”
No matter how long the street is, there is nothing to see, and the greater Shanghai is stronger than here, so people don't need to see it. Zhou Tai said hurry up and take a look at the Northeast Jiangxi Market! It's a pity that the market is about to close, and they only see the tail. It's still quite big in terms of scale, and they just look at it and don't buy anything. Strike the market, just strike the market! It's time to eat.
Dinner was eaten on the street, and after eating, I went back to Zhaozhuang, which means that Zhao Jinju's fiftieth birthday is over.
