Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 163 Go to Dali

I grabbed Katsuo and said, "What are you in a hurry for? It's impossible for him to know our whereabouts. Let's wait and see."

Sheng Nan and I hid in the car and saw Liu Ziran shaking hands with a fat man and talking about something.Isn't that fat man the political commissar of Chishan Electric Factory?I guessed Liu Ziran's purpose for coming here.

The two of them talked and laughed, and they were obviously more enthusiastic than when they first met me. This is not difficult to understand, after all, the levels are different.

I remember Lao Feng said that this Bai political commissar had a big appetite, and if he could not cooperate, try not to cooperate, for fear of accidents in the future.I thought to myself, did Liu Ziran get angry?Seeing Liu Ziran and Fatty Bai left, Sheng Nan and I also drove away.

Katsuo asked me, "What is he doing here?"

I replied: "What else can we do? Let's make a revolution. It has nothing to do with us. Let's just ignore him and treat him like a fart."

Katsuo slapped me and said, "Can you be cleaner with your adjectives? Where shall we go next?"

I thought for a while and said, "Why don't we take a walk-and-go trip, go back and find a map, click with your eyes closed, click there, and go wherever you want, okay?"

Katsuo said happily: "Okay, okay, but let's find a map of China instead of a map of the world, it's too big."

I smiled and said, "Okay, okay, how about a map of Guangdong?"

Back at the guest house, our ideas quickly came to nothing. After clicking several times, we clicked directly to an unknown mountain in Qinghai. After looking for a long time, we couldn’t find a way. We clicked once to the sea, and finally researched and studied. Decided to go to Yunnan.

Traveling as soon as you say it, is actually not as easy as you think. Katsuo is a person who doesn’t worry about anything, but I am just the opposite. Everything must be planned, travel strategies, travel routes, check the weather, etc., I was sitting hard while doing my homework, watching Katsuo who was eating snacks and watching TV, and said, "You old man, don't you worry at all? At least come here and have a look. Yunnan is so big, where should I go?" ?”

Katsuo was chewing a chicken foot, two of them were exposed in his mouth, he looked at me like a zombie and said, "Believe it or not, I will bite you?" After I finished speaking, I didn't laugh, she laughed first .

While I was doing my homework, I muttered: "Life is hard, find a stupid wife, the kind who speaks stupid!"

The weather in Dali in January is still relatively cold. Katsuo and I bought a fashionable coat when we got off the plane. The two of us used to be a golden couple, and we were always the focus of admiration wherever we went. Now it’s good. When I got off the plane, even the sweeping lady didn’t like to look at me. I used to be quite confident, but now It has become where the few people go. And you, a girl, who is naked all day long, should dress up, and also dress up, although someone wants it now, don’t be too confident, there are too many flowers and plants outside , if you don't pay attention, maybe your husband will be snatched away."

Katsuo said disapprovingly: "Who would dare to snatch her? If I don't kick her away, my husband would dare to snatch her too. He has the guts of a bear. Also, you, I warn you, the little girl in Yunnan is One is as beautiful as the other, Shui Ling, be careful, keep staring at me, keep your eyes fixed, if you dare to look at flowers and plants, I will make you blind!"

We went to Dali, just in time for the rainy day. It has been raining for almost a week. The winter rain is a bit biting cold. As a northeasterner who grew up in the south, I am still afraid of the cold. The weather is bad and I can’t go anywhere. Interested.Katsuo is so playful, he picked up my guide and looked around, wanting to go anywhere.

I patiently explained to Katsuo: "It's raining now, so it's inconvenient for us to go anywhere. Anyway, we have plenty of time. Let's find a place to rent a car first, and then take a walk around the neighborhood, and then go to other places when the weather is better." place."

Katsuo couldn't stay in the hotel anymore, so he had to let her go and find a famous local insect shop to satisfy her stomach.

I went in and saw that there were all kinds of bugs at the door of the store, many of which I had never seen before. I whispered to Shengnan: "I heard that the Gu here is very powerful. It is said that eating it can make people do whatever they want. It really doesn’t matter, I’ve made money if someone has been tricked into doing whatever they want with me, but what about you? You’d better stop eating it, and I’ll tell you how it tastes after I’m done eating.”

Katsunan glared at me, and began to point: "This, this, and this, and this, and each of them will cost a catty."

I hurriedly said to the waiter, "She's joking with you." Then I showed Katsuo the menu, and said, "The worms here are charged by two. Do you think you're a frog? The worms here are very expensive." , even though we have money now, don't eat it all in one meal."

Katsuo nodded and said, "That's right, let's have two meals."

When worms are born, they look scary, but when they are made into food, they look more appetizing.Most of them are deep-fried and dry, not very delicious to eat, but not bad.Katsuo, who has always been bold, was full of confidence just now, but when he ate it, he really didn’t dare. I told Katsuo: “Don’t think about what they look like when they are alive, just treat them as food, and you won’t be afraid It’s just protein, it’s okay.”

Katsuo closed his eyes and took a bite, and couldn't stop eating. We ate half of it, and the waiter brought a plate of vegetable leaves and said, this is for us to wrap. I said angrily: "You Why don't you pack it up for me, and you bring it up after you've finished eating."

The waiter glared at me and pointed to a sign on the table. The sign said: "Dear customer, the worm dishes in our store should be eaten after 5 minutes after being served. It is the best." The waiter explained: "Freshly fried The worms that came out were crunchy without letting them cool down for a while, we thought you would read the brand, so we waited until the dishes were ready before serving them.”

I was a little embarrassed, but I still insisted: "Did you eat it with your hands?"

The waiter shook his head and said, "Of course not, use chopsticks!"

I spread my hands and said, "Then why don't you give us the chopsticks."

The waiter pointed to the chopstick cage on the table again, I was completely speechless, my face was flushed and I couldn't speak for a long time.

Katsuo smiled and said, "It's too embarrassing, don't worry about him, he didn't take his medicine when he went out today, thank you!"

The waiter said politely: "Please take it slowly."

Due to the embarrassment before, when I checked out, I kept complaining: "This bug is more expensive than gold, what's the big one?"

The waiter said very politely: "We feed them all, and they all eat mulberry leaves. Absolutely no chemical fertilizers or pesticides!"

I said angrily: "There must be no more. If there were insecticides, you would still be raising bugs!"

The waiter smiled and didn't answer.When I walked out, I looked back at the waiter and said, "I remember you."

On the way back, we were drawn into a bar by the singing.

The song is actually mediocre, but the sound is very clean and distinctive. On the stage of the bar, a handsome guy who looks like a college student is playing and singing with a guitar: "Are you not satisfied with life and haven't laughed for a long time? I don't know why. Since you’re not happy and don’t like this place, why not head west all the way to Dali…”

Before I knew it, I was attracted by the singing, and at the same time, I also felt that the lyrics were very moving.

Katsuo snuggled up next to me, the two of us just listened to it all night, maybe it was because of the rain, or maybe it was the off-season of tourism, there were very few customers in the bar, and in the end, it was just me and Katsuo .Every time Katsuo finished listening to a song, he kept clapping his hands. The handsome guy on the stage nodded his head to thank us. The bar owner was also very good at being a man, and he brought us 2 glasses of cocktails for us to drink.

The boss asked where we came from, how come this season?
I briefly talked to him, and the boss also introduced several good places to us, let us go to play.

On the second day, we went to the residence of the ethnic minority Bai people. The residence of the Bai people has a special place for tourists to visit and open. There are no special features, and traces of modern architecture can be seen. After asking the locals, we decided to go to some real Bai people. where people live.

I wanted to find a local tour guide, but I was afraid that if I went to a place with ethnic minorities, there would be more rules.Katsuo said indifferently: "Let's be honest, it's okay to watch more and move less."

In this way, the two of us went to the place where the Bai people really lived.I thought I didn’t know how to communicate with them. As a result, the young people here can speak fluent Mandarin. The Bai people are very hospitable. They know that we are guests from afar. They came here to experience the culture of the Bai people. into the village.

The people of the Bai nationality are more particular about their architecture, which is a bit like the courtyard house in BJ. The gates and houses are very beautiful and magnificent, and there are exquisite carvings on the gates of every house. host.Like the clothes on them, they are all white.

Every family has a well, and the water in the well is sweet and cold.When I entered the room, I realized that they were not as backward as people imagined, and they also had a lot of household appliances.

Knowing that there are visitors from afar, their patriarch personally invited us to visit his home.

The patriarch invited us to drink tea. I noticed that he only poured half of the tea.

The patriarch's Chinese is not good. The young man next to him translated and said: "We treat guests with three kinds of tea, one is bitter, the other is sweet, and the third is sweet. You can taste it carefully."

The patriarch asked where we came from, and I answered him, Guangdong.The patriarch immediately said that he had been to Guangzhou and performed in the folk culture village there. He thought Guangzhou was very good and would definitely go there again if he had the opportunity.Katsuo said, next time we go, we will treat you with hospitality.
