"Hello passengers! The D1970 train from Rongcheng to Xi'an has begun to check in tickets, and there are passengers who take the D1970 train, please pack your luggage and belongings, and go to the No. 6 ticket gate to check in the ...... "Chen Xing squeezed to the ticket gate in the crowd.

At this time when locals go out to work, there are too many people in the waiting hall, not to mention the location, even the aisles are occupied.

Chen Xing could only congratulate himself on his decision to go to Xi'an. This train from Yibin West to Xi'an North passes through cities that are not popular cities for part-time jobs, so there are fewer talents, otherwise it is difficult to buy tickets to other places.

Find your place, and as soon as you sit down, the seat next to you will be filled with people. Still not a beauty. Every time Chen Xing took the train, he expected a young beauty next to him, but he never got his wish.

It was a middle-aged man on a business trip, and after getting in the car, he was wearing an eye patch and ready to rest, and he didn't seem to have any intention of talking.

However, the person opposite Chen Xing was a talker, and he quickly chatted with a few people around him.

"Where have you all been?"

"Guangyuan, go home." Said the people close to him. Chen Xing said: "Go to Xi'an, travel, what about you." ”

"I work in Xi'an, work as a chef in a restaurant, Xi'an is good, there are many attractions, there are many attractions, ............ little brother talked very much, said a lot of his life as an apprentice in Xi'an, and also said a lot of kitchen secrets, but Chen Xing remembered the most clearly, but what he said: "Don't go to Muslim Street after you arrive, things are expensive and not delicious, you search for Dapiyuan on the navigation, there are things in Muslim Street here, and the taste is good" This made Chen Xing know two place names in Xi'an.

Muslim Street, Da Pi Yuan. Sounds like two food streets? A few hours flew by, and the scenery outside the window changed from the mountains and countless caves to the endless plains, and the field of vision was more than doubled.

Every time he took this kind of train that had to pass through Sichuan Province, Chen Xing felt how difficult it was to enter Sichuan in ancient times.

In modern times, in order to travel conveniently, holes are drilled everywhere in Sichuan Province, and there must be no such conditions in ancient times, so you can only go over the mountains and mountains.

That's why there is Li Bai's masterpiece through the ages, the difficulty of Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the sky. The train came to a slow stop.

"Arrived?" The middle-aged man next to Chen Xing woke up and took off his blindfold. Chen Xing nodded and replied, "Well, it's here." After waiting for the train to stop, Chen Xing took his things off the luggage rack above the train and walked out of the Xi'an train station with the people in front of him.

As with the railway stations of major cities across the country, the first thing tourists see when they walk out of the station is definitely not to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Xi'an, but to see all kinds of guys who come to sell hourly houses, black cars, and restaurants to solicit customers.

Chen Xing doesn't need a car, and he doesn't need an hourly room, but he has to eat. So I followed a man to their restaurant.

It's not very far, go around the station, go around to the right, there are many restaurants lined up, and the kitchen is outside, the fragrance is particularly strong, it is estimated that you can smell it across the street.

The guy who brought Chen Xing over said, "Boss, what to eat, our mutton steamed bun is very famous, do you want to have one?" Chen Xing looked at the menu, which included mutton steamed buns and high-quality mutton steamed buns.

According to what the person in the car said, high-quality tourists are cheated of money, and if you want to eat, you should choose ordinary, so Chen Xing also ordered an ordinary, 28 yuan, and then asked for two buns.

There are both cut and uncut buns, and Chen Xing came here to experience the local novelty?

Of course, you have to break it yourself. So the restaurant served a bowl of steamed buns to Chen Xing. It's just a bowl, which contains two buns ordered by Chen Xing, which are not very big, probably two circles larger than the mouth of a coffee cup, and the thickness is about two centimeters.

How? Is it a direct break? Fortunately, the boss saw that Chen Xing didn't understand anything, so he said, "You can break the bun first and put it in that bowl." ”

"Thank you." After thanking him, Chen Xing began to tear the cake slowly, and when he tore it, Chen Xing asked, "Boss, isn't this just baking cakes?" Why do you like to call this a bun? "The little brother who brought Chen Xing in has already gone to the train station to recruit new customers, and there is only a middle-aged man who looks like a chef and a boss in the store.

He heard Chen Xing ask like this, and said with a smile: "You don't know this, don't underestimate our unsightly steamed bun, the reason why it is called steamed bun, not cake, is said." That alone confirms its longevity! The chef's mysterious remarks aroused the curiosity of many people around him.

Even some locals don't know why the cake is called a bun, especially if most of the people here are tourists from other places.

While stir-frying outside, the boss said to the customers in the store: "This steamed bun is said to have been first transmitted from Gansu, and the ancient people believed that Gansu was the place where the sun sets. And steamed bun, which is a combination of the word food and mo, is also called the food of the place where the sun goes down, I don't know how to spread it outside, but in our Shaanxi, steamed bun refers to all kinds of steamed and baked pasta. Many people in the store were nodding their heads and learning useless knowledge.

Bao is food and gamo, and this combination does conform to the laws of ancient writing creation. And this place in Shaanxi does have countless historical allusions.

Just like the city of Xi'an, legend has it that even farmers who turn over the soil may dig up ancient tombs.

The boss came over and glanced at the bun in Chen Xing's bowl and said, "Young man, you can't do this bun, you have to break it a little more, it's almost as big as a fingernail." ”

"......" Chen Xing really wanted to save trouble and make it bigger. But it's too troublesome to make it as big as a fingernail, does it take more than ten or twenty minutes to eat a mutton steamed bun just to break the cake?

Ten minutes later, the boss took Chen Xing's bowl and scooped a bowl of mutton soup. The mutton soup smells okay, and the taste of mutton is very strong, which indirectly proves that the mutton used here is indeed authentic, not some messy synthetic meat.

But the taste of mutton, after all, isn't it the smell of mutton? Chen Xing frowned a little after taking a bite.

It's not that it's not delicious, the taste of the mutton is very chewy, the salty aroma is completely integrated into the mutton, and then invades the following steamed bun, because it is broken relatively broken, and the soaking time is less, it tastes chewy and flavorful.

Well, at least Chen Xing experienced the fun of soaking buns. But the lingering smell of mutton is always present in this bowl of soup.

Chen Xing was used to eating Jianyang mutton soup in his hometown that didn't feel the smell, and he was very unaccustomed to tasting this kind of smelly again.

I guess people in other regions will be able to accept this taste. In addition to this, this bowl of mutton steamed buns still tastes better than most of the food Chen Xing eats outside of Sichuan Province, but you have to endure the smell of mutton on your body all day after eating, which is difficult to avoid.

After eating the first meal in Xi'an, Chen Xing followed the navigation and swept a car towards the ancient city wall.

Xi'an, a famous city through the ages, in any dynasty is an important place, important land, the necessity of the city wall has been raised, and because it is located in the plain, the style is also different from the city wall of Sichuan Province, so Chen Xing took the ancient city wall of Xi'an as his first stop in Xi'an.

Riding a bicycle is a little more tiring than taking the subway, but you can see the scenery on the streets of Xi'an. Compared with the crowds during winter and summer vacations and various holidays, Xi'an in February is not the peak tourist season.

Fortunately, the charm of the ancient city does not change with the change of seasons in Chen Xing's eyes. The long wind came over the mountains, and the trees and walls of thousands of years intersected in the city, which also clothed the ancient city in colorful clothes.

During this season, some of the trees have snowflakes on them, and the scenery is just right, and it is very pleasant. There are many gates in the city wall of Xi'an, and when you stand under the city wall and look at it, you feel that the city wall is really high.

How did the city siege in ancient times? Can such a wall really be breached if there are enough defenders? The ticket for the scene cost 54 people, and Chen Xing bought a ticket and walked up.

Compared to the French Euro ticket, the domestic attractions are too cheap, but many attractions in Paris are free for young people, especially many museums.

In China, on the contrary, the elderly are free of charge at many attractions. Chen Xing thought about it, and this national situation is also related.

Young people abroad don't have much money, but older people do, so they are free for young people, so many students can also visit a large number of museums.

The elderly in China also have money, but they are reluctant to use it, but they are very good to their children and are willing to give their pension money to their children.

That's it, I guess. There is a clear place behind the wall, there are a lot of bicycles, this is the place to rent a car.

In addition to this, there are many colorful lights around, the first thing that catches your eye is the two giant traditional lion dances, and then the entire city wall is full of various colored lights, but it is now daytime, all the colored lights are not lit, and it is estimated that it will be beautiful at night.

Lantern festival? This word flashed in Chen Xing's heart. As a native of Sichuan Province and a native of eastern Sichuan, Chen Xing is no stranger to the Lantern Festival.

From ancient times to modern times, the most powerful and extravagant lantern festival in the country is in Zigong, which is not very far from the New Territories.

Is there also a lantern festival on the city wall of Xi'an? Chen Xing became a little interested, and looked at the time, there were still at least six hours before dark.

Let's take a walk around the city wall, Chen Xing thought to himself, just like that, you have to watch the lantern festival here before leaving.

After taking a few photos, Chen Xing walked to the rental car station. There are two types of cars that can be rented here, one is an electric bicycle and the other is a regular bicycle, the human-powered one.

If you don't want to, you can also take a sightseeing bus, but this way is expensive, not to mention expensive, and you can't get off anytime and anywhere to enjoy the scenery.

Chen Xing was so confident in his physical strength that he rented a bicycle.
