Being a tour guide for historical celebrities, the motherland is amazed again

Chapter 17 This red oil soup pot is the best

Su Jiahe: ...

"Brother Taibai, don't tell me that you can't even recite the poems you wrote."

"Why should I memorize it? Sometimes I write a few lines of poetry when I'm drunk, and when I wake up I don't even know what I wrote." Li Bai said innocently, "But since I can get free admission, I still have time to memorize it now."

Li Bai picked up his mobile phone, searched for his own version of "The Road to Shu", read it several times, and memorized it by heart.

When others recite, they either stutter out of nervousness or have no emotion and just want to finish it quickly. Only Li Bai recites with ups and downs, and the emotion in each sentence is just right.

"Is this teacher a professional reciter?" The people in charge of the inspection were all fascinated by what they heard.

"No, no," Li Bai waved his hand, "I just write poems and essays to amuse myself after dinner."

After getting the free tickets, the two boarded the cable car and headed up the mountain.

"Miss Su, are many people reciting my poems now?" Li Bai asked.

"There are more than a lot of them. Almost everyone has to memorize them. Children go to school and learn your poems."

"Haha, I never thought that the few lines of poetry I wrote would be valued so much by later generations. I'm ashamed, ashamed." Li Bai couldn't hide his pride. "After traveling through the future generations, I can write a few more when I return."

"No, Brother Taibai, please spare your future students. To be honest, many people blame you for reciting poems." Su Jiahe immediately stopped Li Bai from thinking this.

"Haha, students in later generations are so afraid of memorizing." Li Bai laughed.

"Of course. Did students in the past like to memorize?"

"What's so difficult about memorizing? I could recite the Six Jias when I was five years old. Later, I memorized countless poems and essays." Li Bai continued.

"But I believe that the purpose of reciting the poetry of the ancients is to understand their state of mind and, in turn, to comprehend one's own principles. If one memorizes them rotely just to get by, or even feels resentful about it, then one is putting the cart before the horse."

Su Jiahe gave a thumbs up, indicating that he strongly agreed with Li Bai's point of view.

"But it's no use telling me. I wish the Ministry of Education could hear it."

The two chatted and soon arrived at the first attraction. They saw many tourists wearing safety belts, holding on to the iron ropes, and moving carefully on the plank road.

"Brother Taibai, this scenic spot is called 'Bird Path', which comes from your saying 'There is a Bird Path in Xidang Taibai, which can cross the top of Emei Mountain'." Su Jiahe introduced.

After climbing onto the plank road, Su Jiahe looked down at the abyss below, and her legs began to weaken. However, many tourists were already queuing behind her, and she couldn't retreat. She immediately regretted coming with Li Bai to climb the mountain.

"Ah, I'm afraid of heights, what should I do?" Su Jiahe shouted helplessly.

"Don't look down, just pretend you're on level ground."

Li Bai encouraged Su Jiahe and held her coat. Su Jiahe finally mustered up the courage and took the first step.

"Miss Su is scared now. When I came here, there were no safety belts at all, and the plank road was full of potholes and moss. If I took a wrong step, I would be doomed."

"Okay, Brother Taibai, you are awesome." Su Jiahe couldn't imagine how the ancients climbed up this mountain.

No wonder Shu has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times.

At 1:30 p.m., the two finally finished touring the scenic area. Su Jiahe was so tired that she sat down on the side of the road, but Li Bai remained calm and walked briskly.

"Miss Su, where are you going this afternoon?"

"Brother Taibai, are you really not tired?"

Su Jiahe knew that Li Bai was an expert in martial arts, but he was in his early forties after all. How could he be more energetic than young people?

"Hey, this short distance is a piece of cake." Li Bai said nonchalantly.

"Okay," Su Jiahe said helplessly, "Let's eat first. I really don't have the energy anymore."

Time was running out, so the two of them had a quick lunch on the side of the road. Su Jiahe ate a large bowl of rice and drank a large cup of milk tea, which helped her regain some strength. Following the original itinerary, they took Li Bai to visit Huangze Temple and Zhaohua Ancient City.

Soon it was dinnertime again, and Su Jiahe found a famous skewers restaurant and treated Li Bai to Sichuan hot pot. A trip to Sichuan without hot pot is soulless.

"Huh? Why is this soup pot red?" Li Bai asked in confusion.

"Brother Taibai, this is called red oil soup pot. It is extremely delicious and best eaten while hot." Su Jiahe said while trying hard to suppress a smirk.

Li Bai believed it and scooped a spoonful of hot soup, blew on it, and drank it in one gulp.

"Ah! My tongue!"

"What is this!"

Li Bai didn't care about his image, opened his mouth wide, and fanned himself with his hands.

"Brother Taibai, have some sour plum soup to relieve the spiciness." Su Jiahe handed over a cup of iced sour plum soup.

Li Bai raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Miss Su, you are quite naughty." Li Bai smiled graciously and did not blame Su Jiahe.

"If I tell you it's spicy, you might not dare to eat it, so I can only trick you into trying it first."

Only then did Li Bai feel that after the burning pain in his mouth faded away, there was an indescribable fragrance.

"What is this?"

"This is called chili pepper. It's not available in the Tang Dynasty. I've already bought the seeds. Brother Taibai can take them back and plant them."

"Thank you, Miss Su."

Next, Li Bai drank water with a "shashasha" sound while enjoying the red oil hot pot. After eating and drinking to his heart's content, he leaned back in his chair dejectedly.

"Miss Su, I'm a little tired. Let's go to bed early tonight."

"Brother Taibai, you get tired sometimes too."

After dinner, Su Jiahe took Li Bai back to the vicinity of Guangyuan Station and booked two exquisite homestays.

"Beauty, there is an event at the B&B right now. You can get coupons if you post on your Moments." The boss said to Su Jiahe.

Although Su Jiahe is worth tens of millions, he still retains the habit of being thrifty, so he followed his boss's instructions and posted a message on WeChat Moments.

After returning to the room, Su Jiahe threw himself onto the bed.

After three days of special forces travel, Su Jiahe felt as if all his muscles and bones were falling apart, and he fell asleep in a short while.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Jiahe heard a knock on the door in a daze.

"Who is it?" Su Jiahe rubbed his eyes, picked up the phone beside him, and found that it was already five o'clock in the morning.

Because she had to catch an early train, Su Jiahe was afraid that she would oversleep, so she ordered a wake-up call. She subconsciously thought that the person knocking on the door was a waiter.

"Stop knocking, I'm awake." Su Jiahe shouted to the outside of the door.

"boom blah blah"

The person outside the door seemed not to hear the knocking.

"I said I'm up, stop knocking..."

Su Jiahe thought the waiter didn't hear her, so she opened the door directly, only to find a middle-aged man and woman standing outside.

Suddenly, Su Jiahe had a bad premonition in her heart and hurriedly closed the door, but the middle-aged man held the door handle tightly.

"What... are you going to do?" Su Jiahe broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
