Chapter 110: Exotic Scenery
It is human nature to look strange and strange, and of course Wen Bin is no exception.
It is a very pleasant thing to sit cross-legged on the 'flying carpet' and wander around in this 'Exotic Floating Palace', and Wen Bin is also happy to take a look at the flowers, just take it as a journey to see and increase his knowledge!
Although I was aware of it from the beginning, the more I walked through the streets and alleys, the more I walked, the more I felt the ethnic customs and cultural background here, and the more clearly I could experience different regions and different cultural features.
For example, one of the most distinctive points is that the storefronts along the street here magically adopt the architectural form of 'floating multi-storey pavilions', which is absolutely not seen in the original 'floating hall'.
In the original 'Fusheng Palace', most of the storefronts along the street were on the first, second or third floors, and the quality of the goods sold in the store became more and more expensive and exquisite as the floors increased.
But here it is the opposite.
They have only one floor of storefronts along the street.
At a height of about a foot from the storefront on the first floor, there is also a layer suspended in the sky (there are strange ones, and even the second and third floors are suspended) There is no connection between each floor, and the floors suspended in the air are all supported by the different colors and lusters under each building, and it exudes brilliant light like a psychic illusion, and looks exquisitely supported by the circular magic circle.
In that way, it is somewhat similar to the 'Thousand Buddha Temple' that I saw that day.
It's just that the whole 'Thousand Buddha Temple' is like the 'city in the sky', the area is extremely vast, and the volley is suspended, the distance between the position and the diameter of the ground is not less than 100 zhang, and it gives people a sense of majesty of 'standing proudly for nine days, unattainable'.
But this is not the case, maybe the official has stipulated here, they unify the spacing between each floor is one zhang (visual inspection), and the way to go upstairs is also very simple: just enter the first floor of the storefront along the street, stand on one of the sides of the diameter of about one foot seven inches away (visual inspection), the inscription is exquisite, the color is bright, and the overall look is beautiful and generous on top of the circular circle (generally set up in the store is more inappropriate), and say one in the 'lingua franca of the world' The word 'up' can be directly teleported up (and so on, when you want to come down, you only need to stand on it and say a 'down' word, and you can come down again, right?).
This is one of them.
The second, and the most unbelievable thing for Wen Bin, is that they often place the most exquisite and expensive goods in the store at the bottom, and the more they go, the lower the price of the goods.
Why?
Wen Bin was so curious about this that he found a four-story large store that mainly sold 'gold, stone and jade' during the trip, and deliberately jumped down from the 'flying carpet' and ran into the store to ask people about their work: "That, this little brother, I want to ask, why do you put the most high-end and exquisite goods on the first floor of the storefront along the street?"
The guy turned his head sideways and looked Wen Bin up and down carefully with the eyes of an alien, although his eyes were clearly full of contempt and disdain, but because of the difference between the guest and the host, the words he said were quite polite: "Guest, you came from afar, right? I think you have been in contact with the culture of the 'Floating Palace' a little less, so you asked such a strange question." ”
“......”
Uh, is there one?
"It seems that a place like 'Fushengden' was originally a 'virtual' trading city, and all the buildings and materials presented in front of you, even you and me, are not real, so we are not afraid of customers appreciating and playing with our products here, and there will be no 'breaking the goods' that can only happen in the real world. ”
“......”
Khan, yes!
Wen Bin patted his head consciously: How did I forget this stubble?
"Also, as for the question you said, 'Why do you put all the most exclusive and beautiful products on the first floor of the storefront......s along the street?' How can I tell you, it can barely be regarded as a national style. ”
"I also know that the customs of each realm are different, and in some places, it is customary to put all the high-end and exquisite goods on the top floor of the store, so as to show how 'otherworldly' and 'different' they are, but our habit of thinking here is: If you put it so high, how many people will go up and see it? In this way, it is obviously a priceless good thing, isn't it equivalent to being invisibly 'tied up in a high pavilion'?"
"And the higher you put it, the less likely it is to be appreciated and loved by your customers, and the less likely it is to sell. ”
"And that's not our fundamental desire to market our products at the 'Ukishengden' rental storefront. ”
"We hope that good things can be seen by more customers, and we do our best to let more customers discover it, identify with it, appreciate it, praise it, and buy and collect it. ”
"At least, that's the way it is in the world I live in. ”
"Actually, I'm very strange, what kind of mentality do those merchants who will put good things on the shelf at every turn, and can't wait for the inner three layers and the outer three layers to wrap them tightly...... I still don't understand that. ”
"Ugh. ”
To be honest, Wen Bin didn't understand much, but listening to his tone, he seemed to have a disdain for the realm he lived in, and he felt that it was better for him to defend himself: "I think it's probably the same as you, mostly because of 'national customs'." ”
"Because in reality, good things are more precious, in order to fear that the goods will be accidentally damaged, the store generally does not like customers to casually take them out and carefully select, so they will put good things away from ordinary customers, which also has a meaning of 'cherishing' and 'protecting' in it, not exactly as you said, it is the act of 'bunching it in the high cabinet'. ”
“...... Maybe!"
Although the guy's mouth is so flickering, but the meaning of 'different ways, don't conspire with each other' is clearly written in his eyes, his business in the store is very good, and it is too late to receive merchants, where is the heart to fight this verbal battle with Wen Bin?
Isn't that interesting?
Businesses rarely take the initiative to do things that don't have any revenue.
Wen Bin rubbed his nose stupidly, and he didn't bother to talk a lot of nonsense with him.
As he said: the Tao is different, and there is no conspiracy with each other.
So a certain article came out directly (after arguing, he was not even in the mood to go shopping on the way), jumped on the 'flying carpet', sat cross-legged on it, and continued his 'Floating Temple, Exotic Sightseeing Tour'~
Probably because he didn't want to argue with anyone anymore, he didn't bother to jump off the 'flying carpet' anymore when he saw any strange situation or thing, and ran over to find out, so he slowed down his movement very easily, stretched out his hand and pointed at what he was interested in, and asked the teacher, "What is this?"/"What is that?"
At the beginning, Haotian explained to him quite freshly, 'what is this, what is it for', 'what is that, what is it for', origin, characteristics, types, history...... And so on and so forth, all in great detail.
Later, because this kid was too 'white', he hadn't seen anything, he had to ask everything, he was also annoyed, so he became ignorant, and later, when he heard the kid ask again, he squinted at him from the corner of his eye, and snorted weirdly: "Do you think that 'Nine Heavens Treasure Rama Eye' on your wrist is a toy? I don't know what it is, you check it yourself! It's okay you keep asking me what to do?"
“......”
Wen Bin was choked again.
Well, don't ask you, I'll look it up myself......
After getting used to it, it feels easier for me to check than to ask others: based on his 'good skills' at a glance and unforgettable, he does this behavior sometimes without even deliberately slowing down, it passes in a blink of an eye, and it is very intuitive.
Of course, he didn't run to identify everything along the way, the most interesting thing is that he saw a plush two-tailed big fat cat on the road, sitting on the counter of a storefront, facing the crowd of people like flowing water on the street, it was very enthusiastic, constantly waving one of its little paws, scratching there, as if trying to shake hands with someone.
When Wen Bin saw it, he felt very moved, and thought in his heart: The people here are simple, and even the cats raised are so enthusiastic...... No, I can't ignore it, I have to go over and shake its hand.
So he drove the 'flying carpet' over, and as it were, he was very enthusiastic, stretched out his hands, held its cat paws, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Hello, hello!"
"Hello, hello, hello!!" The two-tailed big fat cat hurriedly grabbed Wen Bin's outstretched hand with one of its front paws, and was so excited that his eyes were so excited that he was so excited that his eyes were shining green, and he was busy taking the opportunity to pour ecstasy soup on him: "I saw Your Excellency from afar, and I felt that I was familiar with it, and now that I got closer and looked at it again, it was like meeting an old friend! Your Excellency must stay and have a drink in the small shop, and it is not in vain that you and I meet in this Pingshui fate!"
“......”
"Boss lady-" Before Wen Bin could react, the big fat cat with fluffy hair had already twisted its head and shouted loudly into the store: "Guests, don't you come out quickly to say hello!"
"Come on, come on, come on~" An old witch dressed up in a fancy way suddenly burst out when she heard the sound, snatched Wen Bin from a pair of cats' meow claws, grabbed his arm as if kidnapped, and dragged her shop raw, the fat powder was so thick that it was about to fall straight down The old face smiled, and a cunning weasel tail behind her flicked around triumphantly, and by the way, she abducted and said in her extremely pretentious tone: "Ouch guest, you haven't come for a long time, you almost want to die girls!" I still remember that day when you were boating with the peony green lake, complaining to each other under the little red moon, and singing with Mei Niang Qinse, hey, thinking about the wind and snow, the days worth nostalgic for......"
“......”
Wen Bin's head had a black line, and goosebumps fell to the ground when he heard it.
What the hell is this place of the gods?
Qinglou?
Red Hospital?
Who's going to save me, ah, go, go!!
In the end, it was not easy to explain and shirk, and finally paid more than 100 Luo for the 'entrance fee' (which also includes 'dotting fees', 'tips', 'melons, fruits, water and wine', 'entertainment fees'...... and a series of abnormal expenses), and finally escaped 'disheveled' (caught by a group of flowery little weasels in the store).
When he came out, he looked at the big fat cat sitting on the counter and scratching his little paws, and then he noticed that the fluffy little guy had a pair of beautiful big bells tied around his neck, and the bells were engraved with two words: 'Zhao' and 'Cai'.
It turned out to be a 'beckoning cat'......
No wonder I was stabbed head-on as soon as I passed!
Wen Bin burst into tears, and in a series of loud laughter from a demon behind him, he swore that he would never 'consciously and voluntarily' run to fall for this again in this life!
