After all, it's the capital and the city center, so it's still quite lively.

The pedestrian street is very wide, a bit like a night market in China, with white tents on both sides, and food on one side and handicrafts on the other.

Wool carpets, cowhide wallets, leather boots, deer antler velvets, horn products, Mongolian robes...... The uncle played the horse-head harp, and the long tune was melodious and desolate.

The food is also very special.

"Li Ding'an, what is this, Buzz? Actually, it's a bun, right? ”

"That's smart!"

Is that smart?

Anyone with long eyes will see.

As soon as he rolled his eyes, the bun covered his mouth, and Yu Huiyin took a bite with a smile.

"It smells so good."

"What is this, how can there be stones in the pot?"

"It's stone-boiled meat, called Harahog in Mongolian...... Not difficult to do, but time-consuming......"

Li Ding'an explained, and muttered a few more words, and the boss packed two copies for him. He eats one serving, the other into three cups, and one for a girl.

"What is this?"

"Hushuer, fried pies, meaty."

"Where's this soup?"

"Batan, you can understand it as a mutton soup with potatoes, carrots, cabbage, flour, and milk."

"Where's this?"

"Green Bay, in fact, is beef stewed noodles with onions and carrots in it."

"And pilaf?"

"Mongolia borders XJ, isn't it normal to have pilaf?"

Along the way, Li Ding'an's mouth never stopped: while buying, eating, and talking.

Fan Rong became more and more surprised.

Mongolian is only secondary, the key is that there is nothing he doesn't understand?

For example, now:

"Uncle, why is your milk tea boiled in milk?"

"Goat's milk is too fat!"

"No flour, no rice, not even mutton...... Not even a splash? ”

"Foreigners don't like it!"

"Then what is your name Shutice (Mongolian traditional milk tea, boiled with butter, mutton fat or meat)?"

The uncle was stunned by the question: Are you here to find fault?

I also want to do it the traditional way, but I also have to be able to sell it?

"Do you want to buy it?"

"Buy, I ate too much meat, just a cup to relieve my greasy."

He will also bargain, and he can't deceive him if he wants to. Along the way, he kept speaking Chinese, but the vendors and bosses praised him for saying that the young man spoke Chinese very well, and whether he was studying in China or not.

No one thinks of him as a Chinese, it's so interesting.

"He often comes to Mongolia?"

"For the first time." Shu Jing took a bite of a piece of beef jerky, "To be precise, this is the first time he has gone abroad." ”

Fan Rong was stunned again: "Impossible." ”

She has been in Mongolia for two years, and she works part-time as a tour guide during the holidays, and has traveled countless times in Ulaanbaatar and even all the scenic spots in Mongolia. But I feel that I don't know as much as Li Ding'an?

"Don't treat him as an ordinary person......"

What do you mean?

Stunned, Shu Jing ran a few steps, snatched a few pieces of fried milk from Li Ding'an's hand, and ran back, "Do you want to?" ”

Fan Rong shook her head: "Just now, you said he was your leader?" ”

"He's the boss (the person in charge of the lab and the project), and I'm the assistant!"

"The owner...... What project is he responsible for? ”

"Archaeology."

"Didn't he learn the Chinese language, and he only graduated the year before last?"

"I was an undergraduate, and then I went to graduate school in the Department of Archaeology of Beijing University, and now I am in my third year."

I graduated from my bachelor's degree the year before last and am in my third year this year...... Jumped a level?

The key point is, from the Chinese language to archaeology, the span is also too big?

There is something even more terrifying: the graduate students have not yet graduated, but they are in charge of the project?

After thinking about it, Fan Rong was suddenly stunned again: "The public sent abroad, academic exchanges...... What is the level of your project? ”

"For the time being, it's a ministry-level project."

"For the time being?"

"Well, when the acceptance assessment is carried out, it must be mentioned."

The level can be raised again...... What is the level above the project at the ministerial level?

Surprised, little by little, piled up on the girl's face.

"He was at home...... How awesome? ”

"What?"

Shu Jing looked at him with a good smile, "It's just an ordinary family." ”

"Huh?"

"No, I said don't treat him as an ordinary person."

That's what it means?

Countless thoughts flew into her mind, and Fan Rong's eyes flowed: "How old is he?" ”

"Twenty-three!"

So young, and good-looking......

……

People's enthusiasm and curiosity are limited, and after almost two hours, Yu Huiyin and Shu Jinghao felt bored.

Yellow skin, black hair, black eyes, and even most of them can speak a little Chinese, and it doesn't feel any different. As well as the architecture that is very different, the Chinese elements that can be seen everywhere, even the food, specialties, there is not much difference,

It's like going to a city in Inner Mongolia.

Originally, I wanted to go to the color house to have a look, but Li Ding'an disagreed, and Fan Rong did not suggest them going.

After all, unlike the city center, the security is definitely a little worse.

"Take you to a fun place!"

"Where?"

Li Ding'an pointed into the distance: "Mongolia's largest and most upscale shopping mall, Ulaanbaatar Department Store!" ”

Isn't it a shopping mall?

Yu Huiyin and Shu Jinghao can already foresee that it may not be as fun as outside.

Sure enough.

As soon as I got out of the taxi, a strong sense of Chinese style and familiarity came to my face.

Shu Jinghao tilted her head, looked left and right: "This building, why is it so similar to Wangfujing in the capital." ”

"It's right: the two buildings, one in front of the other, were built in the fifties, and they are the same designers and the same construction team!"

"Ah, we helped build it?"

"Of course!"

As they spoke, the four of them entered the mall.

Yu Huiyin and Shu Jinghao glanced at each other, their faces full of disappointment.

Haier's refrigerator, Little Swan's washing machine, Hisense's TV, Jingdezhen's plates and bowls, Jieliya's towels, Sanxiao's toothbrush, Colgate's toothpaste......

There are also foreign brands, such as Jordan...... No, this seems to be a domestic brand as well.

When you go up to the second floor, you will see some Japanese and Korean brands, not many, but they are very expensive, several times more expensive than the first floor.

Vegetables and fruits are also expensive, a kilogram of chili pepper is 60 yuan, which is twice as much as beef, and it is still the best yellow fat beef.

For mutton, it's three times.

A fist-sized apple is twenty, a pound of cabbage is twelve, and a cucumber is ten.

"Li Ding'an, why is it so expensive?"

"All of them have to be imported, and of course they are expensive."

"Where do you get in?"

"Of course, in China, all vegetables and fruits, as well as more than 80 percent of light industrial products, are imported from us."

"If that's the case, they should have a high sense of identifying with us, huh?"

Li Dingan thought for a while and spit out two words: "Education!" ”

Wang Yongqian was there when he was on the plane, and he didn't have anything to say: of course, there were historical reasons, such as being enslaved by the Manchus for 300 years, and there were also political reasons, such as their closer relationship with the north. In order to de-sinicize, the culture is even more emasculated, and the Mongolian cultural inheritance is not as complete as Inner Mongolia.

But Li Dingan felt that there was a problem at the root.

Of course, just thinking about it, he didn't understand it very well anyway.

After a rough turn, Li Ding'an led them down to the first floor, went out through the back door, and passed through two alleys to a slightly old and quaint street.

The three girls were stunned: what is this, antique street?

Yu Huiyin and Shu Jingyin were surprised: There is also a place to sell antiques in Mongolia?

Fan Rong was even more surprised than them: she didn't know how many times she had turned around Ulaanbaatar, and she felt that there was no road, which street she didn't know, but here was really the first time she came.

At a glance, it's really pitiful: it's just a small alley, not more than fifty meters long, and there are only fifteen or sixteen stores. There are no signs and signs at the door, and if you don't go in, you really don't know what it's selling.

"Teacher Li, how do you know here?"

"Look at the travel guide!"

"Where's the strategy?"

"Tiktok (foreign version of Douyin), thieves are easy to use!" Li Dingan grinned with his teeth, "It's still exciting, do you want to download one for you too?" ”

Yu Huiyin and Shu Jinghao glared at him together.

Fan Rong was stunned for a long time, and pointed to the store: "Teacher Li, I really don't understand this!" ”

It means that nine times out of ten it is a lie, and it is better not to go in.

"It's okay, just take a look!"

Li Dingan took them into the store.

The shopkeeper was a young man, wearing a Mongolian robe and a top hat, but he spoke in Chinese: "Hello, welcome!" ”

“Ингээдхарцгаая。 (I'll show them around). ”

"Look, are you a tour guide?"

"Тийм (yes)!"

"International students?"

Li Ding'an nodded: "Тэгээдчи (what about you)." ”

"I'm studying history at the National University of Education (Teacher Training), and I haven't started school yet, so I'll help my dad look after the store."

The two of them are quite funny: Mongolians speak Chinese, but Han people speak Mongolian, and the key thing is that they still answer each other fluently?

Yu Huiyin and Shu Jing puffed out their cheeks: Li Ding'an pretended to be a Mongolian again?

The key is to pretend to be a thief: the young man said to help him introduce him, Li Dingan said no, he just came.

Then the lad's eyes widened wider and wider.

For example, a silver plate with a typical Mongolian and Yuan style, Li Ding'an talked about the origin of the ornamentation, the evolution process, and the historical period involved, from the Xiongnu to Rouran, from Rouran to the Turks, from the Turks to the Uighurs, and then to the Mongol and Yuan periods...... It was detailed and clear.

Not to mention Fan Rong, even the young man who specializes in Mongolian history doesn't feel like he knows much.

"Brother, awesome, what are you studying in China?"

"History, Archaeology."

"Which university?"

"Kyoto."

No wonder?

The young man gave a thumbs up: "You are so professional, the salary of the tour guide should be quite high, right?" ”

"It's okay!"

Li Dingan said perfunctorily and put down the silver plate.

Yu Huiyin took a look: "Why don't you buy it?" ”

Imitation, how to buy?

Li Ding'an smiled, and Shu Jinghao exclaimed again: "Look, the blue and white jar...... How big? ”

It is indeed quite large, about 50 high, 30 abdominal diameters, thick fetal bones, huge shape, dense and orderly ornamentation, gray and white tire color.

The painting is a picture of a boy playing in the water, the characters are vivid, the lines are soft, the blue and white ornamentation is deep and intense, and there are different degrees of black spots, the bottom is unglazed, but there are swirls, and the occasional place can see dark red dots.

The pulp is evenly moist, and the clam light is also very bright, which is basically in line with the characteristics of Yuan Qinghua.

Don't say it, at first glance, it's quite true.

Shu Jinghao opened her mouth wide and pointed at the black spot: "Xiguang? ”

Li Dingan nodded.

She pointed to the red dot on the bottom circle of her finger again: "Volcanic red? ”

Li Dingan nodded again.

"Yuan Qinghua?"

Li Ding'an was immediately happy: What do you think of a good thing?

Shu Jing couldn't hold back, and looked at the label again: 60000000000MNT.

She lowered her head and calculated: in RMB, it is only more than 10 million...... How cheap?

If something is true, it can be multiplied a hundred times when it is obtained in China......

"Buy it or not!"

Buying a head?

"Don't you daydream, can you?"

"Yuan Qinghua, it was originally fired in the Yuan Dynasty, isn't it normal to appear here?"

Normal?

It can be found in the Presidential Palace, it can be found in the National Palace (the Mongolian Parliament Building), or the National Museum, but it will never appear here, nor can it be sold for more than 10 million, let alone casually.

Don't think that this is Mongolia, and everything looks like everything, so you think it should be genuine...... If you dare to have such a fluke mentality, just wait for the bankruptcy.

Li Dingan pressed her shoulder and spun around: "Look good...... I'm talking about the cabinets, not the tapestries and thangkas on the walls, but the bronze, silver, porcelain...... Doesn't it sound familiar? ”

Sort of, indeed.

If you just look at these, you feel like the cultural relics shops in the capital...... Not much of a difference?

Well...... Capital?

Shu Jinghao raised her head, her eyes were hooked, and she was stunned for a long time: "Pan ...... Pan Jiayuan? ”

"It's okay, it's not stupid."

Nine out of ten objects, whether copper, iron, or porcelain, including the colored carpets on the walls, were imported from Panjiayuan.

It's normal to pour some cultural relics. What's more, this store is Chinese opened......

"How...... How so? ”

Or else?

Several times around the world, China's cultural heritage is the most complete, and the relationship with China is so deep.

The key is that Chinese thieves love this, but they don't have much eyesight, but thieves are confident?

Don't lie to you, who to fool?

Li Dingan shook his head and continued to look down.

After seeing a few thangkas, he instinctively stopped.

A horizontal axis, the texture seems to be cowhide, one meter wide, three meters long, the frontispiece depicts a man and a woman, standing statues, but no clothes.

The image of the thief is also drawn, and the thief is three-dimensional, not generally clear.

Then, as if he had been punished, the heads, limbs, and torsos of a man and a woman were disassembled. After that, he even peeled off the stomach, peeled off the skin, took out the internal organs, and took out the bones......

Next to each picture are dense small characters, like Sanskrit, more like written in blood.

After a few glances, the three girls shrank back in unison, feeling the cold hairs all over their bodies stand up...... It's horrible, even a little disgusting.

Li Dingan watched it with relish, maybe he didn't see it clearly enough, so he took out a magnifying glass.

After seeing that it was more than ten minutes, he straightened up and pointed to the label: "500 million, can you be preferred?" ”

The young man subconsciously asked, "Who buys it?" ”

"What do you think?"

The three of them hid far away, eager to hug each other.

"That's 20 million!"

Ha ha?

It is equivalent to dropping directly from 1 million yuan to 50,000.

See, that's the benefit of pretending to be a local.

Of course, it may also be that Li Ding'an behaved too professionally, and the young man felt that he couldn't deceive him.

paid on the spot, using WeChat, Li Ding'an happily put the long box under his arm.

After a casual glance again, he pointed to a square-shaped thangka: "This one is also included!" ”

The price is five million tugrik, which is a little more than 10,000 yuan, and he is too lazy to bargain.

When the three girls looked at it, their eyes widened again: it was still a man and a woman, still a standing elephant, still without an inch.

But this time it's even more explicit: the Buddha of Joy...... And the painting is very vivid, and when the child comes to take a look, he knows what these two people are doing.

After squinting his eyes and glancing at it a few times, a thought popped up in Fan Rong's heart: how could he pick such a strange and uncomfortable thing?

Feeling a little kinky?
