Chapter 701
Listening to opera is not a good experience for Wen Xu, who is in his twenties and almost thirty years old. Although Wen Xu has a calm personality, she still can't stand the word "Ah" and can speak for two minutes.
Especially the Peking Opera I still listen to today, there are not many fighting scenes yet, they are all singing. If it is the singing style of Huangmei Opera, such as a female apprentice, Wen Xu can not only like to listen to it, but this Peking Opera was exhausted from Wen's patience in less than five minutes, so he had to turn his ears and put his attention completely on the snacks on the table.
Also as impatient as Wen Xu, Xiao Yao, Hang Chen, and among the young people, Wang Che and his daughter, listened very well. Looking at the father and daughter who were shaking their heads, Wen Xu thought to himself that no wonder they were coming to listen to the opera, but it turned out that they were two opera fans.
After finally spending an hour of Peking Opera, the two old men thought of going to the local opera to follow the customs and listen to local operas. Wen Xu didn't want to join in the fun, but when he left the Peking Opera garden, he saw that there were still crowds of people on the road, and he couldn't follow him to the local opera garden again.
It was only half past 11:00 at night that the pedestrians on the road gradually became empty. It did not mean that there were not many people, but they were still crowded with people, and the hawkers selling things were still shouting enthusiastically.
There are many people, but the road is no longer crowded like a few hours ago.
After saying goodbye to Wang Zhe, Wen Xu and his group slowly walked towards the Ice Sculpture Garden. The group had just finished their midnight snack and drank a little wine to drive away the cold. Anyway, Wen Xu didn't know what others felt, but he was warm all over.
When we arrived at the Ice Sculpture Garden, the queue was still in line at the entrance, but now the queue has become much shorter, and there are more people put in every time.
Wen Xu went to the ticket office to buy tickets and was about to take everyone to the end of the team to take photos, but he felt someone walking to his side and taking photos of himself.
Wen Xu turned around and saw a police officer in uniform standing in front of him with a smile: "Boss Wen, why are you here to see the ice sculpture so late?"
This person Wen Xu naturally knew. The police officer who followed Wu Mingxian to deal with the problem last time was probably a good relationship with Wu Mingxian and was an ambitious person who followed the leader.
"There is no way, the child wants to see it, I can't do it. What about you? Are you still on duty so late?" Wen Xu greeted him with a smile. Everyone came over. Wen Xu couldn't show any face to others.
"Yeah! There is no rest these days. I burn the incense after four or five hours of sleep every day. I guess I will always get a rest that I can only get for fifteen," the police officer said with a smile.
Wen Xu said that he sympathized with their police's situation: "Yes, I was shocked when I arrived today."
The police officer smiled and said, "Don't mention you, even we were shocked. In fact, it was not just us. Even Secretary Zhou was shocked by the crowd who came to see the ice sculptures. No one expected that there would be so many people. Let's not talk about anything else. Just the hotels in the county town were almost full of people, and even some bathrooms that could stay overnight were full. How many people did you think were here? At noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire ice sculpture garden was crowded with people. We were afraid of a stampede incident, so we had to take the action of limiting the number of people entering the park!..."
After chatting for a few words, Wen Xu signaled: "Then you are busy, I'm almost in line." As he said that, Wen Xu pointed to the team.
As Wang Zhe said, the team accelerated significantly at this time. Although the team was not short, the number of people allowed to go to the entrance increased significantly. Just as the two of them were talking, the old men who were queuing up were about to move to the door.
"Stop queuing, follow me in!"
"Forget it, if it were me, I might have asked you for a long time, but two old men with strange tempers are here, so I'll be there soon. You can go there, you can go there," Wen Xu said.
When the police officer saw that Wen Xu had said this, it was not too good to insist and immediately said, "Okay, then I'll go in first. If there is anything, come to me."
After Wen Xu responded, he watched the police officer enter the ice sculpture garden and walked back to the team with his ticket.
After about five or six minutes, it was Wen Xu's turn to go in.
As soon as you enter the garden, the iconic thing in this year's Ice Sculpture Festival is the ice-made Great Wall. Of course, it is impossible to build a long one like the Great Wall. So it is a beacon tower in the middle of the scenery. There are two stories on both sides of the Great Wall. All of them are made of ice. Each scrambler is embedded in it. It is estimated that the solid Great Wall is not as beautiful as this crystal clear ice Great Wall.
The key thing is that tourists can also walk on it, stepping on square bricks made of transparent ice, and colorful lights are under their feet, which shines with dazzling colors through the crystal ice. Passers can follow this colorful path, go straight up to the city wall and pass through the beacon tower, and then go down from the other side.
The group of people at the Great Wall did not have much time to linger and watch, because although there were fewer people entering the park at this time, there were still quite a lot of people in terms of the number of people. There were not many places on the Great Wall standing and watching. You almost stopped to take a photo and the people behind you were about to urge you.
After passing the Great Ice Wall, the crowd began to disperse, and at the same time, several lines were winding towards the ice sculpture garden. There were different ice sculptures beside each road, some were bionic, such as animals, and some were pavilions and towers, almost all of which were life-sized. The only difference from the real scenery is that these things were almost made of ice and snow.
Wenxu's main job is a photographer, responsible for taking photos of everyone. It seems that the old people are all looking at it. Although Wenxu and his wife think the ice sculpture garden is pretty good, they don't think it is particularly outstanding. It seems that Hang Chen and Xiaoyao are charged, and they have to play wherever they are shining.
"Wife, why don't we have a few such things next winter?" Wen Xu handed Hang Chen's cell phone back, turned to Shi Shangzhen and said.
Shi Shangzhen replied: "Let's do it too? I guess Uncle Zhou has to chase us with a knife!"
"Why, we are not fighting with him for business?" Wen Xu asked curiously.
"Just these ice sculpture craftsmen, Uncle Zhou was still here to save his grandfather and grandma, and he offended a group of people for this. We only dug two of them from them. Do you think Uncle Zhou wants to cut people?" Shi Shangzhen said with a smile.
"Aren't it just a bunch of ice sculptures? I don't believe it anymore, it's so difficult to find?" Wen Xu didn't believe it very much.
"I can apply a lot of it, but I can apply it well. I will tell you that I have a lot of it. If you don't believe it, you will see it later. The ones here are made by an experienced team. Later, there are some works of miscellaneous military soldiers. In order to fill up a garden of things, some stonemasons from nearby counties have been invited. Then you will know what the difference is from the previous one after you read it later." Shi Shangzhen said.
Wen Xu didn't say anything after hearing this, and hugged and waited to turn around before looking.
Just as everyone was playing, the group rushed over. The county party secretary Zhou He was the county party secretary, and the county bureau director Wu Mingxian was the county bureau director.
"Old leader, why are you here to enjoy the ice sculptures so late? If it weren't for others' words, I wouldn't know." Zhou He came over and immediately smiled at the teacher, and the two old men Qiu said.
"What are you notifying you for? We just come here and let you know everything. Do you think you are still at work now," said Mr. Teacher with a smile.
Mr. Qiu said again: "The traffic of people is very good!"
"Uncle Qiu, it's not good. It scared me directly. The number of people who have come to visit in the whole county these days has directly exceeded the total number of tourists in the past ten years. I am afraid that something will happen. I am not even at ease these days!" Zhou He said with a wry smile.
The teacher said, "Look, the tourists are not happy when they come. You kid are really pretentious!"
"It's not that I'm pretentious, but that the Zhuang power is too strong, and we caught us off guard. On the second day of the lunar calendar, the number of passengers in the county was nearly 220,000, and the first one reached a small peak..." Zhou He said as he reached a hand to support Mr. Teacher, and then the three of them started chatting as they walked.
Wu Mingxian followed behind honestly at this time, looking at Secretary Zhou He with a smile on his face and walked slowly in the sea of lanterns with the two old men.
The only ones in the entire team are probably Wen Xu. Whether it is Hang Chen or Xiao Yao, they are now rare to give up prejudices and stand together in front of all kinds of ice sculptures to take photos.
After almost twenty minutes of leaving, Wen Xu immediately felt the visual impact of the situation that Shi Shangzhen mentioned.
If what you saw along the way were all the beautiful wonderland creations, then what comes to your eyes now is obviously a "strong" rural atmosphere.
The comparison between two and one can be judged immediately!
Although this piece is also carved in a very good manner, such as the elephant's slide and the ice-sculpted tiger, they all look like it, but compared with the ones in front, it seems that it loses its charm at once. The same ice and the same colored lanterns immediately feel wrong when they arrive here.
Some of the more affordable things, such as pigs, ducks, etc., have appeared, and even farm tools like mills, which make you look warm and your head hung with black lines.
"It's true!" Wen Xu sighed and said.
"Actually, there is nothing wrong with the countryside," said Shi Shangzhen: "I think these ice sculptures are more interesting in life. The ones we saw before are too artistic or too beautiful, not as good as the ones in front of us have a sense of life and look very pleasing to the eye."
Wen Xu replied: "Listen to what you said, you should be tall and elegant, and I originally thought that the garden was the first, but who knew that the back was full of numbers! This thirty yuan ticket costs at least twenty yuan to water."
"Then don't ask me to hug you. I'm just the young director of Wenjia Village. No, there is a county magistrate there. You go and talk to your parents' officials." Shi Shangzhen jokingly said to Zhou He's back.
Wen Xu looked in the direction she pointed, thought for a while and said, "Forget it! Anyway, the money won't fall into my pocket!"
At this time, Xiao Yao suddenly jumped out: "Uncle, my cousin and I go to play in the maze!"
"Maze?" Wen Xu looked up and found a large group of children not far away surrounded by a crystal maze.
The entire crystal maze is much larger than the snow maze in Wenjia Village. The maze here is made of ice, about half a meter long, and thirty or forty centimeters of ice strips are built one by one. Among the ice bricks on the top is a colorful little elde stunt, which constantly changes the flashing rhythm according to the melody of the music. Not to mention that it attracts a bunch of children, even the parents who come with them follow their children into the maze.
Wen Xu also became interested and turned to Hang Xiangdong and Li Yumei and said, "Why do we go over and have fun?"
The couple Hang Xiangdong were a little sleepy now. If the two old men weren't there, the couple would have said they would go back to sleep, but now, they would be embarrassed to speak up.
So the old couple was not interested in a group of children dating through the maze. After hearing this, they waved their hands and said, "You go, let's take a look, it's too noisy there."
When Wenxu turned his face to his wife, Shi Shangzhen also waved his hand and said that he didn't want to play in the maze and asked Wenxu to take his two children with him.
