There is a saying about lovers: If you take a walk in Xishan, couples will break up; if you take a walk in Dali, you will be different when you come back.
Today, I went to Xishan first, and then to Dali.
It seems that Yu Chang accompanied Chai Ning to do two things that only lovers would do.
Chai Ning's sleeping appearance is like a work of art, with a high nose bridge, a beautiful white face, rosy and slightly curled thin lips, a faint arc hanging at the corner of the mouth, and slender eyelashes trembling slightly like butterfly wings. Having a very sweet dream.
Yu Chang couldn't help but want to step forward and caress her face. This was a subconscious 'thinking' behavior, but as soon as the evil thoughts arose, he snuffed them out. He pulled the quilt for her and let her go. She slept more peacefully.
Chai Ning likes to pull up the quilt when sleeping, covering the area below the chin, and curling up his body at the same time. From the perspective of imageology and psychology, Chai Ning's sleeping position is a typical manifestation of lack of security.
Chai Ning doesn't seem to have a boyfriend. I mean "seems" because he has never been in contact with any man outside of work. And for someone as beautiful as Chai Ning, there must be a few suitors.
But with Chai Ning's inner arrogance, how could any ordinary man fall in her eyes.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Chai Ning woke up with sleepy eyes. He glanced at Yu Chang in confusion and saw him sitting opposite. He closed his eyes again and murmured: "Where are you?"
"Don't worry, we won't arrive for more than an hour."
Chai Ning fell asleep again, maybe she was too tired, or maybe her sweet dream had not ended yet.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, the train officially arrived at the station, and Chai Ning was awakened by the sound of the train stopping and asked, "Are we there yet?"
Yu Chang nodded and said: "We're here."
"I slept the whole way!" Chai Ning stood up and began to tidy up her fluffy black hair, and then asked: "You haven't slept the whole time?"
"No, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep when I go back to the hotel later, so I don't dare to sleep." In fact, even Yu Chang himself didn't know whether he was afraid of losing sleep later, or whether he was looking at Chai Ning sleeping and couldn't bear to fall asleep, for fear that If you fall asleep, you won't see that scene.
"So you're bored, right?"
"It's not boring, my brain is always working."
"That's awesome." Chai Ning praised.
"Really? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Yu Chang suggested.
Chai Ning thought for a while and said, "The Dali Night Market shouldn't be closed yet. Let's go shopping?"
"Okay, it's up to you."
The two of them didn't bring much luggage, just a change of clothes or two. After leaving Dali Station, they took a taxi and headed towards the designated night market.
According to the navigation, it is about 20 kilometers away from the night market. There are few cars at night and there is no traffic jam. It takes about half an hour to arrive.
The night market in Xiaguan was not closed, but there were far fewer pedestrians on the streets than at the peak. When the two of them approached, the smell of barbecue hit their nostrils.
"What do you want to eat?" Yu Chang asked.
"It doesn't matter, it's up to you."
When you come to Xiaguan Night Market, there is one thing you must order, and that is Xizhou Baba. To match it, Dali-style hot and sour fish and Dali Bai Liangpi are a good choice.
"Okay, let's go. Let's take a stroll first, and then I'll take you to eat Xizhou Baba."
"It seems you are quite familiar with him?" Chai Ning frowned slightly.
"Been here before." Yu Chang answered truthfully.
"With my little girlfriend?" Chai Ning seemed to be a bit gossipy.
Yu Chang smiled faintly as an admission, and then said: "Not anymore."
"separated?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"Sister Ning seems to be quite gossipy tonight?"
Chai Ning glared at Yu Chang, snorted softly and said, "You don't want to talk if you like."
Compared with the large food city, the night market has a more rustic and pyrotechnic atmosphere. Originally, Yu Chang thought that Chai Ning would not be used to this kind of place, but the result was beyond Yu Chang's expectation.
Chai Ning seemed to rarely come to this kind of night market before, so he was extremely curious about everything in the night market. After shopping for almost an hour, it was almost one o'clock in the morning when the two of them were ready to eat.
Chai Ning slept for a few hours on the train. He was full of energy and lively at this time, but he was suffering for a long time. His eyes were bloodshot, he was breathless, and he almost lost his appetite.
But in the end, the two of them also ordered a bowl of pickled fish, a Xizhou cake, and a Dali Bai Liangpi.
It was almost two o'clock when he returned to the hotel, and Yu Chang's energy was already sluggish. After saying good night to Chai Ning, he returned to the room.
Although he was very tired and sleepy, Yu Chang still insisted on the habit of taking a bath every day.
After taking a shower and drying my hair, I felt much more awake. I lay down and turned on my phone to read some articles that interested me.
This is a habit that Yu Chang has always maintained. No matter how late it is, he forces himself to read for 10-20 minutes before going to bed. Over time, it becomes a habit.
When Yu Chang finished reading and was about to put down his phone and go to sleep, a message came from Chai Ning: "Yu Chang, are you asleep?"
"Getting ready for bed."
"I can not sleep."
Yu Chang: "..."
It's strange that you can fall asleep. I slept for almost four hours on the train. I should be full of passion now, but I didn't sleep for a minute!
From what this means, does she want Yu Chang to chat with her?
"You must have slept too much on the train!" Yu Chang replied.
"Um."
From a chat perspective, Chai Ning is not a good partner. Her replies are always concise, and sometimes she is even a natural chat killer.
"What gifts are you going to buy tomorrow?" Yu Chang thought for a while and asked.
"We'll see then."
faint!
Yu Chang felt that he couldn't continue the conversation, but he didn't want to end it like this, so he asked, "Are you sending Secretary Zhao off?"
"Um."
After waiting for two minutes, Chai Ning said nothing more. Yu Chang went a little crazy and wanted to go over and knock on the door.
"Is it just him?" Yu Chang was naturally referring to Zhao Liangquan.
"It's not just him."
"Who else?" After enduring for a long time, Yu Chang asked a little unwillingly.
“Someone who can pretty much decide the direction of the project.”
Chai Ning did not say the other party's name.
Forget it, Yu Chang finally got discouraged and stopped asking. If he continued to ask, she would be mad to death.
The person who can decide the direction of the project must be the standing committee of the county committee. There are nine members of the standing committee of Yuancheng County Committee. Even if it is as powerful as Chai Ning, it is impossible to take care of all nine people.
But there is also Lin Jingyao. She has her own path and her own relationship. The combined relationship between the two of them is extraordinary.
From this point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong with Yu Chang.
Yu Chang felt depressed for a while. This project seemed to have nothing to do with him?
Just when Yu Chang was depressed and wanted to put down his phone, Chai Ning said: "I have three people on the county committee standing committee, and Secretary Zhao is one of them. You will know about the other two soon."
Finally I heard a soft-hearted word of comfort, otherwise Yu Changfei would have been driven crazy.
"Will we have a conflict with Lin Jingyao?" After thinking about it, Yu Chang decided that it was still necessary to clarify this issue.
"Won't."
Nothing further, here we go again.
It's like giving a piece of candy with a slap in the face. If you continue, you will collapse.
Although he went to bed very late, Yu Chang still got up on time the next day. When Chai Ning called him, Yu Chang had already returned from running.
"Go have breakfast in 10 minutes." Chai Ning sent a message.
"No, I haven't digested what I ate last night, so I have no appetite."
It's strange that I have an appetite. I was full from you last night.
Yu Chang didn't know what gift Chai Ning would choose, and didn't ask again. He would be depressed if he asked again, but he guessed that since it was for a leader, the gift should at least match the person's identity and not be too expensive. Jewelry, diamonds, gold, silver, etc. seemed inappropriate. It's too realistic, but it's not ruled out, because Yu Chang can't tell what stage her relationship with Yuancheng's leader is; it can't be too frivolous, otherwise it will be in vain and it won't have a good effect.
After sifting through it in his mind, Yu Chang felt that the specialties of Dali that could be given away were Dali Bai tie-dye, Wuliangshan Silky Chicken, Cold Bacteria, Nuodeng Ham, Yongping White Goose and Jianchuan Goat Milk Pancake.
But for ham, Nuodeng ham is not as famous as Xuanwei ham, so Chai Ning probably won’t choose it.
It's only appropriate to give tie-dye to a female customer. I wonder if she will choose it.
When checking the Yuancheng government website, Chief Yu already knew that among the nine standing committee members of Yuancheng, there was only one woman.
Chai Ning didn't seem to be wandering around randomly, but knew where her destination was. She walked into an old shop in a relatively remote place in the ancient city of Dali and said, "Boss, are there any bodhi beads that are more than five years old and about 10 mm in diameter?"
The boss was an old man with gray hair and a long beard. When he saw the customers coming into the store, he immediately came up to him and said, "Yes, how many do you want, beautiful lady?"
"One hundred and eight."
"Send it to the elders?"
"Um."
"Golden Leaf Bodhi or Rudraksha Bodhi?"
"Golden Leaf Bodhi might be more suitable." Chai Ning thought for a while and said.
"Yes." The boss nodded and said, "Both are suitable, it depends on what you wish for."
Chai Ning stopped talking and then said, "I want the Golden Leaf Bodhi."
The boss responded, turned around and entered the back room, took out a beautiful box from the back room and opened it. Suddenly, golden-gray Bodhi beads appeared in front of the two of them.
Before polishing, the gold leaf bodhi appears golden gray due to weathering, dust, etc., but after polishing, it appears golden.
"Beauty, choose for yourself!"
Chai Ning looked at the box and did not ask the price. Instead, he turned to look at Yu Chang behind him and said, "Come here."
Yu Chang walked over and Chai Ning said, "You should be very discerning and choose one hundred and eight of the same size."
Regarding Bodhi Fruit, Yu Chang did know something about it, but he was not yet at the level of a master.
Golden leaf bodhi is also called lotus bodhi or Guanyin bodhi because its shape resembles a lotus. The fruit turns golden after being polished, and giving it away has the meaning of praying for blessings and receiving good luck.
As for Rudraksha, it is a relatively rare and precious bodhi fruit with very high value. The fruit is slightly yellow and looks like a small walnut, but has a hard shell, which means it is indestructible and indestructible.
The reason why Chai Ning did not choose Rudraksha was not its high cost, but its connotation.
Gold leaf bodhis are not cheap either. The finished gold leaf bodhis are about 10 mm in diameter. Based on their condition, the market price of 108 pieces is close to 20,000 yuan, which is more than enough to give away.
Yu Chang looked at it carefully, and every one he screened basically met Chai Ning's requirements.
In about half an hour, Chai Ning had returned from shopping outside, and Yu Chang had also finished sifting out a total of 108 golden leaf bodhis.
"Do you need processing? I can give you a discount." Seeing Chai Ning being so generous, the boss smiled even more.
Chai Ning glanced at the Bodhi fruit chosen by Yu Chang, nodded and said, "No, let's figure it out, how much is it?"
The boss's smile suddenly became even brighter. It was almost ready to bloom. I've seen it so cool. I've never seen someone like Chai Ning buy something without asking the price.
People who don't know think she is the diamond king, or the two hundred and five who don't understand anything.
"There are 108 pills in total, each costing 100 yuan, and the total is 10,800 yuan. Seeing how generous the beauty is, I will give you a fraction and charge you 10,000 yuan."
"Swipe your card."
"Okay." The boss was almost excited. If everyone who entered the store could be like her, wouldn't they be rich?
"Wait a minute." The boss was about to take the credit card machine, but was stopped by Yu Chang.
Chai Ning, a prodigal little bitch, doesn't even bother to ask the price when buying something, she doesn't even cut the price. Sister, are you not short of money, or do you not regard the company’s money as money?
"Brother, is there anything else you can do?" The boss asked politely, fearing that the two of them would regret it.
"Isn't the price of your golden leaf bodhi a bit expensive?"
Hearing this, the old man's eyes widened, and then he said: "This little brother, looking at the entire ancient city of Dali, it can be said that there are very few gold leaf bodhis like mine. Even if there are, the number will definitely not be high." many."
"As for the value of the Golden Leaf Bodhi, I must also know it. I've clearly marked the price, so I don't want to deceive you."
Yu Changdao: "Of course I know that the diameter of the 108 gold-leaf bodhis I just selected is close to 10 mm, but there are slight differences, and some even fall short of the standard. If you charge them all at 100 yuan each, it's really a bit cruel." . Let’s do this, each one will be given to you at a price of 75 yuan, giving you a total of 8,100 yuan.”
"This won't work, little brother, I will lose money if I do this." The old man became anxious after hearing this.
"With the price I give you, you can make a profit but not a loss. And you won't be allowed to process it, so you save on processing fees. In short, this is what I say, 8,100 yuan, you can sell it or not."
After saying that, Yu Chang took Chai Ning's hand and made a gesture to leave.
The boss was anxious and said quickly: "Brother, the price is indeed low, can you add more?"
Yu Chang turned his head and said: "Not even a cent."
After saying that, he pulled Chai Ning and was about to step out of the store, only to hear the old man say anxiously: "Wait, little brother, you are my first customer today. In order to welcome the good start and to celebrate, I will give you 8,100 yuan." .”
Yu Chang turned around, showed an inquiring smile, and said: "Swipe your card and issue an invoice."
After paying the money and issuing the ticket, after the two of them walked out, Chai Ning gave a sweet smile and said, "You are a very good bargainer."
Yu Chang was speechless for a while, and almost said, "Prodigal bitch," but he held back the words and said, "It's not bad, I can save a little bit."
"Then what if the boss doesn't sell at the price you just gave me?" Chai Ning asked doubtfully.
"He will definitely sell it because I know his cost price."
The market price of the polished gold leaf bodhis with a diameter of 10 mm is about 150 yuan each, while the market price of the unprocessed gold leaf bodhis is only 50 yuan to 80 yuan. Yu Chang gave the boss 75 yuan each, which is already very good. Being kind, for the boss, although the profit is small, there will be no loss. For the two of them, they save almost 2,000 yuan.
Chai Ning smiled and said without saying anything more, "Let's go, I need to buy other things."
