Chapter 3048: Folk Temple Fair
Zhao Xu said to Li Qingqing: "Qingqing, you are quite well informed!"
Li Qingqing said with a bright smile: "Sister Yan told me."
"Then do you want to take Sister Yan with you?" Zhao Xu asked.
Li Qingqing said "Yeah!" and said, "Take it with you! Anyway, I have a knife here, so I'm not afraid of any danger."
As night falls, the annual Beijing Folk Temple Fair is held in "Yuntian Street"!
There is "Yunshui Temple!" on Yuntian Street, and the incense here has always been prosperous.
According to legend, the well in "Yunshui Temple" is called sacred water.
It's not that the well water in the temple is so magical. But there was a severe drought one year, and people from eight villages in ten miles went to "Yunshui Temple" to fetch water.
It is strange to say that water cannot be obtained from other places. However, the water from the well of "Yunshui Temple" not only does not dry up, but is extremely sweet.
From then on, people from eight nearby villages would come to "Yunshui Temple" to offer incense.
If it weren't for the well water of "Yunshui Temple", I don't know how many people would have died in the severe drought that year. Therefore, the incense of "Yunshui Temple" has become more and more prosperous.
Along the way, Dong Yan told Zhao Xu and the others anecdotes about "Yunshui Temple".
Li Qingqing asked Dong Yan: "Sister Yan, are there really many people at the temple fair?"
"There are so many people! There are also floats parading through the streets. These cars are all retro classic cars, or some weird-looking cars, decorated with light strips, they are very beautiful!"
Zhao Xu told Chen Xiaodao: "Xiaodao, take care of Sister Yan for a while! Since there are many people at the temple fair, let's not get separated. When the time comes, we will meet at the parking place."
"Okay, Master!" Chen Xiaodao responded while driving.
After walking for another distance, Dong Yan said to Chen Xiaodao: "Xiaodao, just park the car on Yuntai Street. There is no way to park on Yuntian Street."
Chen Xiaodao said "Huh!" and parked the car in a nearby parking lot under Dong Yan's guidance.
After getting off the bus, the four of them walked and chatted in the direction of the "Yuntian Street" temple fair.
Far away, you can hear the shouts of some vendors.
Li Qingqing took a closer look and saw that the street ahead was dark and crowded with people.
"I'll just say there are a lot of people!" Dong Yan smiled and said, "I haven't been to a temple fair for a long time! Grandpa, you won't let me show up on such an occasion."
Li Qingqing said: "Sister Yan, you have a special status, so of course you are not suitable for public appearances. However, the four of us have all dressed up, so no one will recognize you."
"Yes! This makes me feel more at ease." Dong Yan said.
Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao, one on the left and one on the right, protected Li Qingqing and Dong Yan in the middle.
The four of them had dressed up, and although they were not worried that others would recognize them, there were too many people on this street, so Zhao Xu was still worried that something might happen.
After squeezing into the crowd, Li Qingqing asked Dong Yan: "Sister Yan, do we need to go to Yunshui Temple to burn some sticks of incense?"
Dong Yan said: "It's better not to go! If you go, you won't be able to squeeze in at all. If you want to go to Yunshui Temple to offer incense, it will be the same if you go another day."
"That's fine!" Li Qingqing nodded.
When visiting this kind of folk temple fair, most of them are market vendors selling things.
Some things are impossible to buy in ordinary life. They are not expensive and are very popular among people.
Zhao Xu bought a bone fan made of "titanium alloy". The price was not expensive, costing more than 800 yuan.
Zhao Xu is a person who knows the goods. A fan of this quality will cost over a thousand dollars even if you buy it online.
It's very weighty in the hand, and together, it's like a sharp tool for your hand.
Chen Xiaodao bought some handmade willow leaf flying knives.
The person who sells "Liuye Flying Knives" is obviously a craftsman. There are more than eighty Liuye Flying Knives in total, all of which were bought by Chen Xiaodao, just enough to replenish his inventory of flying knives. Otherwise, Chen Xiaodao would have to go to a specialized shop.
The craftsman ordered this kind of willow leaf flying knife.
I met a big customer, which made the stall owner very happy.
Li Qingqing bought some hairpins for Ye Zi, and the girl tied them up with beautiful hairpins. Such little things are not worth much, but they are very pleasing to the little girl.
Dong Yan bought two combs from "Sandalwood Maker" and gave one to Li Qingqing.
Said to Li Qingqing: "This store is a time-honored store, and its wooden combs are very famous!"
Li Qingqing said "Thank you!" and accepted it happily.
At this time, floats appeared on the street.
Dong Yan pointed in the direction of the float and said to Li Qingqing: "Qingqing, look! The float is here."
Li Qingqing looked in the direction Dong Yan pointed and saw a group of beautiful floats approaching.
Every car is decorated in a very innovative way.
There are those in the shape of a "lotus", some in the shape of characters from "Journey to the West", and some in the shape of a caravan.
These cars are beautifully decorated and decorated with lights, which make them look particularly beautiful at night.
As the parade of floats moved slowly along the street, Li Qingqing hurriedly took out her mobile phone and took photos.
I have to say that the folk temple fair in Beijing is very innovative, as if it has traveled back to the scene a hundred years ago.
Zhao Xu and Chen Xiaodao stood at a high place, looking at the floats.
At this time, there were four women in white clothes on the float, flying around a "lotus" float.
It looked like he was performing acrobatics.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Xu frowned and whispered to Chen Xiaodao: "Xiaodao, have you seen the four women on the Lotus car?"
Chen Xiaodao said "Huh!" and said, "I saw it! They didn't ask for help, they are people with martial arts skills."
Zhao Xu frowned and said, "How can there be a woman with martial arts skills in a place like this?"
"I don't know!" Chen Xiaodao shook his head and said, "Looking at their skills, these four women are all ranked among the top 100 in the world. Their kung fu is not weak!"
"Be careful!" Zhao Xu secretly warned Chen Xiaodao.
"Okay!" Chen Xiaodao responded.
Zhao Xu began to look at other floats.
In his opinion, today's folk temple fair is a bit unusual.
Zhao Xu asked Dong Yan: "Sister Yan, how long will this float take to parade?"
Dong Yan said: "The float leaves from "Yunshui Temple" and travels around for an hour before returning to "Yunshui Temple"! It passes by Yuntian Street, Jingda Road, Ziguomen, Tianluan Bridge and other important places.
.”
"Besides the temple fair, are there any other important activities tonight?"
"Yes! At Ziguomen, Liu Zhiyuan, the old man of the Liu family of the four super wealthy families, will deliver an important speech. Mr. Liu is keen on doing good deeds and is a well-known good man. The Liu family has been loyal for generations and has a very high reputation in the hearts of the people.
fame!”
When Zhao Xu heard this, he made a decisive decision and said: "Let's go! Let's go to Ziguomen first."
Chapter completed!
