Chapter 190 The Rural Girl in "Metamorphosis" 33
After the excitement, everyone decided to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain the next day. After checking information and consulting with the owner, they booked a local tour group through the owner's connections.
For a normal person, a day trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain would cost between 400 and 1000 yuan, depending on the activities you choose. More activities will naturally cost more.
The tour group recommended by the boss costs 600 yuan per person and provides down jackets and oxygen cylinders for tourists. Although these are included in the price, it is cheaper than the price at the scenic spot. In addition, they have a car, so it can save a lot of time.
This basically used up the 5000 yuan that the production team had given them. But there's only one day left, and I guess everyone will be too tired to play after tomorrow, so we'll talk about it then.
The next morning, the tour guide and driver arrived at the guesthouse to pick everyone up. After everyone had breakfast, they boarded the bus and set off.
Everyone had a great time that day with our tour guide, Ms. Li, and nothing went wrong. Perhaps it was because they knew it was a TV show being filmed, or perhaps they recognized the guests, but Ms. Li provided excellent service and detailed explanations throughout the day.
Beautiful scenery can heal the soul. Even after returning to the guesthouse in the evening, everyone was still reluctant to leave. However, as soon as they stopped, the feeling of fatigue immediately returned. Fortunately, they had bought a lot of foot bath herbs yesterday, so they boiled water for the elderly people and let them soak their feet in the lobby.
Liu Yuxi made a simple tomato and egg noodle soup, finishing the meal just before the elderly people fell asleep. After watching them eat, she sent them back to their rooms to wash up and rest.
The young people had only drunk a bowl of dumpling soup each before taking care of their grandparents, so they weren't full yet, and it's impossible for young people to go to bed so early.
However, since Grandpa and Grandma were already resting, they couldn't make too much noise. After discussing it, they decided to go out for a stroll and check out the local nightlife.
After borrowing the boss's car, the group arrived in the county. Yulong County at night had a unique charm, with traditional buildings presenting a hazy beauty under the soft lights.
The group strolled along the street. The pace of life here seemed slow, and people walked leisurely without the urgency of the city. Listening to the locals chatting in Naxi, Liu Yuxi had learned Naxi in his previous life in Tianlong. Although several hundred years had passed and there were some subtle changes, the general meaning was still the same.
Most people who speak in Naxi dialect are talking about their group, which is normal. Even when Liu Yuxi isn't in the entertainment industry, he would still discuss celebrities with the people around him.
Since everyone hadn't eaten enough for dinner, they spent the rest of the trip looking at the street scenes and searching for food. Since the elderly weren't around, they could eat whatever they wanted without worrying about them being hungry or wanting to eat too.
The group sampled many local delicacies, buying one of each to share, as it was a way of advertising the area. The vendors were very welcoming and generous; most wouldn't have accepted payment if they hadn't insisted, since a snack could cost anywhere from a few yuan to tens of yuan.
They walked and ate along the way until they were all too full to eat anymore. Then they realized their legs weren't their own anymore. They looked at each other and laughed, finding it quite amusing. They strolled slowly back to the guesthouse, where they used the foot bath herbs that Liu Yuxi had prepared, just in case they wouldn't be able to get up the next day.
The next day, when the young people got up, they found that the elderly people had already eaten breakfast and were chatting on the first floor. No one expected that they had slept so soundly last night.
As soon as they arrived on the first floor, Grandma Liu called out to everyone, "Go and have breakfast!" "Okay!" Liu Yuxi took the lead and went into the kitchen. After scooping out some porridge and taking a sip, she knew it was her grandmother's cooking.
After they finished eating and came to the hall, Grandma Ye took her hand and said, "Xiaoxi, your foot bath medicine is really effective. Not only do I sleep well, but my legs don't hurt the next day, and I'm not tired at all. Is it easy to get? If it's convenient, could you get a lot for Grandma Ye? Your Grandpa Ye's sleep is getting worse and worse, so I'll take some back for him to soak his feet in."
The two grandfathers chimed in, "Yes, I haven't slept as well as I have these past two days in years. Xi'er, make sure to get some for your Grandpa Lin too!"
"Me too!" Grandpa Ma raised his hand high. Sure enough, the humor of a crosstalk performer is innate; there's a punchline every time.
"I found that herb online. I used it and felt it was quite good, so I kept it in mind. I'll write down the herb formula later. You can just go to the Chinese medicine store to get the medicine when you get home, so you don't have to go through the trouble of preparing it and bringing it back."
"It's not some family secret recipe! Then write it down for Grandpa Lin!" Grandpa Lin was relieved; having a prescription would make things much easier.
"Okay, I'll go back to my room to write it now. You guys chat for a bit!" Liu Yuxi said as she went upstairs to the second floor. She wrote down the herbal formula in triplicate and gave it to Lin Ziye, Ye Qing, and Ma Lin after coming downstairs. The three of them expressed their gratitude.
After the three of them returned to their room, put away the prescription, and went back downstairs, they started discussing where to go on their last day. They still had about a thousand yuan left, and they had food at home. The guesthouse owner also said that he would take them to the airport early the next morning.
In other words, they can spend this thousand yuan today. Considering everyone's physical strength, they decided to only go to one place. They decided to visit Dayan Ancient Town, which they hadn't finished exploring the day before yesterday, and have a local meal. If there was any money left, they would buy more groceries tonight and treat the guesthouse owner's family to a meal.
After agreeing on the terms, we called the boss, and with a charter fee of 300 yuan, we went to Dayan Ancient Town, which is Gucheng District of Lijiang City, Yunnan Province.
"Lijiang Ancient City is one of China's famous historical and cultural cities, and one of the two ancient cities in China that have successfully applied for World Cultural Heritage status as a whole."
The ancient city is located in the central part of the Lijiang Basin. It was first built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty (late 13th century AD). It is situated on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and has a southwest monsoon climate. It covers an area of 7.279 square kilometers.
The streets within the ancient city are built along the mountains and rivers, paved with red conglomerate, and include attractions such as Sifang Street, the Mu Family Mansion, and the Five Phoenix Tower. It represents one of the most distinctive and stylish types of traditional Chinese dwellings.
The owner was still acting as a tour guide, while the guests took their time to explore the unique buildings and popular photo spots. Since there was plenty of time, everyone strolled around at their leisure.
After a few days of travel, everyone figured it out: if you're energetic, you can go out and have fun; if you're tired or broke, you can just stay at your accommodation, chat, and drink tea. It's all about being comfortable and having a good time!
