The trip starts from Yongliang land and checks in

Chapter 117: Yueyang Tower

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Master Chen, Chen Xi, who was grilling mutton skewers, turned his head away, gave him a signature white eye, and then laughed first: "Okay, but there is a charge, eight skewers per skewer. Dollars!"

"I'll go, is it so expensive?? Forget it, I'll try to buy something to eat when the beauty bakes it."

After flipping through the chat and spanking, Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Forget it, don't waste time, I guess the little guys are waiting impatiently."

"Spicy chicken is here, little guys, put down your kebabs and kill it for me!"

"As ordered!"

"Wow, what a big plate of chicken!"

"Wow, that looks awesome!"

A group of children also cheered and responded to his words. They put down the sticks in their hands one after another, picked up the chopsticks one after another, and stretched them into the plate of spicy chicken diced chicken, which was delicious in color and fragrance.

"Wow, it's delicious!"

"555, why can't my mother do it!"

Seeing that the little ones were eating happily, Zhang Xiao then came to the stove and started to cook the second dish.

"Okay, the second dish I'm going to make should be considered random, haha.

"And it only became popular in the past few years. The main audience is those drivers who often travel long distances. I mainly saw it in some roadside restaurants in the Northwest. This dish is fried pork slices. However, it is familiar to everyone. The home-cooked fried pork slices are a bit different”

Now it's the turn of the people in the live broadcast room to wonder, what else could be different?

"Ah? What does this mean? Fried pork slices are fried pork slices. Why is the long-distance driver involved?"

"Oh, I see. When I came back from a long-distance run yesterday, I ate at a restaurant by the side of the road. Could it be that brother Xiao can also cook?"

"Upstairs, how does it taste?"

"I also know this dish, um, I can only say that it has a large portion and a strong taste. It is very suitable for long-distance drivers, and it tastes even better with some pasta, or steamed bun noodles."

"I'm curious about what I said, so why haven't I seen it?"

"It's normal if I haven't seen it before. This kind of dish is like a bowl of incense in the farmhouse. It's just like Brother Xiao said. It's a very casual dish that can put a lot of ingredients."

At this time, Zhang Xiao had already prepared all the ingredients, which were actually very simple, just sliced ​​mutton, soaked vermicelli, onion cubes, and green and red peppers.

"That's right, it's similar to a farmhouse bowl of incense. This dish doesn't have any fixed ingredients, but it's usually vermicelli, sliced ​​meat and onion. I can’t get used to it, but the key is to have enough food, and you can serve several bowls of rice at one time.”

"The drivers who run the long-distance bus are very exhausted. It would be very refreshing to stop for a meal and serve such a large and filling dish!"

Zhang Xiao first poured a little oil into the pot, and when the oil was hot, he put a spoonful of watercress, onion, ginger, and garlic into the pot, and when the aroma burst out, he poured the full plate of mutton slices into the pot.

Stirring constantly, after the meat in the pot slowly turned white, he began to put cumin powder, pepper powder, thirteen spices and other seasonings in it, and when he estimated that the meat was almost cooked, he cut it in advance Short vermicelli poured into the pot.

When the vermicelli was put into the pot, the soup that seemed to be a lot before started to become less and thicker. At this time, he put in onions and green and red peppers, stir-fried a few times casually, and directly It's out.

Seeing that Zhang Xiao brought the second dish, Chen Xi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Is this what you said, the so-called random dish?"

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, put the fried pork slices on the table, looked at Chen Xi and said, "That's right, this kind of dish is actually very casual, as long as there is meat and vermicelli, it's OK to put some strong ingredients, but the taste is really delicious It’s great, especially when you dip it in steamed buns or something, I’ve eaten it once, and I still remember it vividly.”

Chen Xi became curious, picked up the chopsticks and walked over to taste it. Soon, she realized what Zhang Xiao meant when he said the taste was heavy but delicious.

"Well, it's really delicious, and the steamed buns are also delicious. I said why did you ask me to heat the steamed buns for you? It's because of this!"

After finishing his work, Zhang Xiao leisurely sat down by the grill, and replaced Chen Xi. While filling his stomach with grilled lamb chops, he 'drive' Chen Xi to the table.

"Okay, hurry up and eat some, you've been busy all night, I'll just watch over here, and bake a little more by the way, let these little guys take it home, and share it with their elders!"

Chen Xi naturally readily agreed, showing two dimples to Zhang Xiao, first brought himself a can of beer, and then began to attack the spicy chicken and fried pork slices.

"55555 hates poisoning late at night!"

"There happens to be mutton at home, so I'll go get some fried pork slices to eat."

"The front row sells food pictures, people who are greedy come to me, we are called Wangmei quench thirst hahaha!"

"Let's poison, let's poison, we'll just eat food stalls outside, haha!"

"Damn it, I'm losing weight, hey!"

"I punch a monster!"

"Did my loli mess with you? Brothers, come out and spray him!"

The next day, unknowingly, it was the first day of September, and the light rain fell all night, but luckily it stopped when the morning approached.

The tent had been evacuated the night before. Zhang Xiao got up from the RV early in the morning. The first thing he did was to open the window of the bedroom and look outside. The appearance also gradually disappeared.

Facing the first ray of sunshine in the morning, Zhang Xiao continued to drive along the national highway.

"Everyone, we are going to Changsha next, and this will be our last stop before going to Yunan Dali."

In fact, the reason why she chose Changsha was because of Chen Xi's suggestion. She used to study in Changsha as an undergraduate. There are also many sisters, girlfriends and classmates in Changsha who can help them set up studios.

Along the way, the two people in the car were watching the scenery outside the window. The drone followed the RV at an extremely fast speed, leaving the range of the national highway from time to time, and photographing the mountains of Shennongjia along the way.

The outline of the mountain in the distance is still hazy, submerged by the fog that has not dissipated in the mountain, leaving only a faint silhouette.

"Not to mention, this kind of scene is really reminiscent of the mountains in the ink paintings. It has a kind of hazy beauty. This is the uncanny craftsmanship of nature!!"

Zhang Xiao and the people in the live broadcast room expressed emotion, and Chen Xi, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, also nodded frequently. Traveling in a caravan."

Hearing what Chen Xi said suddenly, Zhang Xiao turned his head curiously, glanced at her, and then immediately turned his head back to concentrate on driving.However, at that momentary glance, he still saw the beautiful side face and the faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Oh, what's the reason?"

However, Chen Xi answered irrelevant questions, opened the window next to him, and stretched out his hands to feel the gusts of wind blowing from the speeding RV.

"It's hard to see such a beautiful scenery if you stay at home forever, you have to come out!"

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly.But having said that, he sighed slightly while looking at the scenery along the way.

I was still a little bit sad. After all, I have experienced so many days in Shennongjia and met so many unforgettable people and things. In addition to the beautiful scenery, I encountered all kinds of dangers, difficulties and obstacles, and the simple and kind people I met People are full of emotions.

However, he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry again.

At the intersection of entering Muyu Town, a huge billboard was erected, with Zhang Xiao's big smiling face printed on it, and a red cloth tied on his head, very rustic, and a few boys printed on it. : Welcome to Shennongjia Propaganda Ambassador, Mr. Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao covered his face and smiled, oh my god, what a big face.

However, this ugly photo is where they got it.

Those big shiny teeth made my eyes hurt!
After driving for a while, he happened to see a gas station in front of him, so he simply drove the car over, pulled the handbrake and turned off the engine.

"Take a break, I'll go down to blow some air and smoke a cigarette, will you go down?"

After parking the car and unfastening his seat belt, Zhang Xiao looked at Chen Xi beside him and asked, but before she could answer, the two little guys in the living room at the back had already yelled.

Zhang Xiao naturally understands Xiao Diao’s boisterous temper. One of the purposes of his parking is to let him relieve his boredom, but seeing A Chai’s suffocated expression, he seems to be going to the toilet, but why does he run down? ?

Zhang Xiao was very puzzled, he pointed to the toilet in the house, but A Chai showed a very resistant appearance.

"Oh, I see, maybe A Chai is saying that the toilet is really uncomfortable to use, and it takes a lot of effort to use it every time."

After understanding its meaning, Zhang Xiao almost couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the RV was parked on the side of the national road between the mountains, surrounded by lush green forests.

After they got out of the car, they breathed the fresh air and stretched comfortably, while Xiao Diao and A Chai had already run to the wild grass by the roadside, each going about their own affairs.

After he had enough rest and set off again, Zhang Xiao never stopped the car along the way, and drove all the way to YY City, which must be passed through to Changsha. Seeing the map navigation display, he directly confirmed the place for lunch break.

Looking at Chen Xi who was already falling asleep sitting next to him, Zhang Xiao said softly to the people in the live broadcast room: "Okay, let's take a rest here at noon, I'll go down and buy something to eat, and we'll set off in the afternoon!"

Turning around and telling the two little guys to stay in the RV and watch the house, Zhang Xiao quietly got up and got out of the RV.

After the car door was closed, he raised the volume and said to the people in the live broadcast room: "Although I was just passing by, I would like to introduce it to you while I was going to buy food. I made a detour and drove to the famous scenic spot Yueyang Tower nearby. .”

As soon as the Yueyang Tower was mentioned, Zhang Xiao just turned the screen of the live broadcast room to a tall building looming not far away by the Dongting Lake. The audience became very excited: "Haha, isn't this the famous Yueyang Tower!"

"This is the Yueyang Tower in Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower??"

"Of course, did you see that tall building in the distance?! I went to play a few days ago, although it doesn't mean much."

"666 Brother Xiao, why don't you stop here for a while? Take us to have a look?"

"Come on, the entrance fee for Yueyang Tower is 120, and there is no dog poop in it!!! It looks like a few interestingly decorated small houses. When you walk in, you can see that they are all shops!!!"

"Agreed, the trees block the view, and the Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River can't be seen from the Yueyang Tower!!!"

"Yellow Crane Tower, Tengwang Pavilion, and Yuejiang Tower are all similar, and I am not interested in seeing them at all!"

"These buildings and pavilions, the rest are empty names, and the commercialization is too serious, which seriously disturbs the nature..."

Seeing that the people in the live broadcast room were a little interested in this place, Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "It's okay, I just finished shopping for food later, and when I come back, I will let the drone go to Dongting Lake to take a look and show you the Dongting Lake here. Let's see the scenery."

"Those little friends just said are right. Yueyang Tower is one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. It has also been rebuilt in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It is the only building that maintains its original appearance among the three famous buildings. It is also the smallest building among the three famous buildings."

"I especially admire Fan Zhongyan for writing "The Story of Yueyang Tower" based on only one "Autumn Evening Picture of Dongting", which has made Yueyang Tower famous throughout the ages. Those who intend to visit Yueyang Tower should memorize the story of Yueyang Tower at home. If you can recite it, you will be free of admission. This is more than 100 yuan! Of course, what these netizens said is also reasonable. According to my personal opinion, whether it is worth it varies from person to person. Many popular scenic spots are too commercially crowded and lose the meaning of seeing, but From another point of view, you might go to see it once in your life, and if everyone arrives, won’t it be worse if you don’t see it?”

"So many times I will go to see how bad it is with my own eyes. Sometimes I really think it's really bad after reading it, but there are also scenic spots that others say are bad and worthless. I think it's not bad. Fortunately, I didn't believe it. Xu, seeing is believing, let’s take a look if you have the chance, at least I think Yueyang Tower is not bad, at least speaking of it, I’ve been there haha.”

"Although I really want to go, but the time is limited, I have to go to Changsha as soon as possible to prepare for the studio, my opinion is just for reference~"

He paused, and joked: "Although, reciting Yueyang Tower is only an occasional activity on holidays, not a few times..."

"Pfft, what are you talking about~~"

"Hahaha, I knew there was such a good thing?"

"that is."

"In addition, regarding Dongting Lake, it is the second largest freshwater lake in the Celestial Dynasty, and it is known as Dongting of [-] Li. Hunan cuisine is spicy, so those who can't eat spicy food should say hello in advance, otherwise you will understand the consequences. YY City is located by Dongting Lake, basically The fish-based dishes are very authentic~~”

"Lunch break for two hours at noon, it's enough for everyone to enjoy the scenery of Dongting Lake. Alright, I'll go shopping first."
