Chapter 209: Freshwater Twilight (2)
Today Ling'er brought Le Lang and the others to Taipei. After visiting the Taipei National Palace Museum and the Presidential Palace, they went to the 101 Building for lunch.
Of course they had to eat Taiwanese food when they came to Taiwan, so they chose "Xinye" and sat down at a table with the best view of Taipei's scenery. They ordered food and ate while watching. To be honest, during the day, from 101
The view of Taipei from the building is messy, and it only looks good at night. It would look good if lights illuminate every corner of the city at night.
On Gujia Island, a young man walked into a house among the coconut trees, opened the door, and saw a woman immersed in writing in the room. He asked in surprise: "Uh, Awen, why is it you, Ling'er?"
"Take her friends to play." The woman he called Awen said without raising her head after hearing this.
"Go and play, am I mistaken? It's during the holidays and everyone is busy. Is she still in the mood to play?" the young man shouted after hearing this.
Hearing the young man's words, Awen raised her head and smiled at him and said: "Let me tell you, your sister, she is about to be exploited by you old antiques from the Gu family and turned into an old girl. If she continues like this, she will become an old aunt."
.”
"Ah..., well... forget it, she can't be of much help here. If you want to play, just go and play?" After hearing this, the young man sat helplessly on the sofa in the room. There was no other way.
At home, Xiao Ling'er is like an ancestor. What she says is more useful than anyone else. She can do whatever she wants, and no one can do anything to her.
The woman laughed when she saw him like this.
In the afternoon, Ling'er took Lelang and the others to the small town of Tamsui. People in southern Fujian know that there are many people in Tamsui, not because Tamsui is famous, but because the songs about Tamsui are so good, so when they listen to the songs, they also use the name Tamsui.
I remember it too, but no one knows where the fresh water is?
Tamsui is located in Tamsui Town in the northwest corner of Taipei County. It faces Bali Township across the Tamsui River to the south, is separated from Beitou District of Taipei City by Datun Mountain to the east, is adjacent to Sanzhi to the north, and faces Fuzhou City across the Taiwan Strait. Tamsui City Street
Built along the river, it has a very water town atmosphere and the charm of the water city of Venice.
Due to its dangerous terrain, Tamsui Town has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Therefore, Tamsui Town has been subject to the fate of foreign rule many times. It was once a bustling commercial port with masts and masts diverging from each other, but now it has also fallen into this trap.
The ending of singing in the sunset, the glory and glory of Tamsui in the past may only remain in the memories of the older generation.
Walking on the old streets of Tamsui, Le Lang was very moved when he saw the scene that was the same as the old streets of Nanzhou. Once upon a time, he was also a native of his hometown, but he was separated into two places by a strait. Above the old streets, most of the
They are all shops selling antiques and art works. They look very quaint and have a strong sense of historical vicissitudes.
Seeing the antique shop, Le Lang suddenly thought of something, so he found a shop, looked around, and walked in. The shop called "Deyizhai" was not big, and it was surrounded by transparent glass cabinets.
It was filled with large and small things, and I didn’t know if they were antiques. There was an old man in the innermost place. This old man was watching a Gezi opera on TV. He was so fascinated that even Lelang and the others didn’t know they had come in.
.
Le Lang looked around and finally saw what he wanted in the glass. He quickly said to the fascinated boss: "Boss, can you show me that box?"
The old man turned around when he heard the sound and saw a few people standing in the store. He quickly stood up and walked over and said, "Sorry, sorry, by the way, what did you want just now?"
"That box." Le Lang said, pointing to a box on the glass shelf.
After listening to Le Lang's words, the boss opened the cabinet with the key, took out the box inside, and put the box on the table in front. Le Lang picked up the box and looked at it, and felt very satisfied. The box was not very big.
There is a piece of Western-style porcelain inlaid on it, and auspicious patterns are engraved around the box, which looks antique. When you open the box, you will feel a fragrance. It is not the perfume you sprayed, but the unique smell of the box itself.
Le Lang looked at it, nodded, and asked the boss: "Boss, how much does this box cost?"
"Ten thousand."
"You lied to a madman. You asked for 10,000 yuan for a broken box. You thought we were from other provinces. It's so easy to deceive." Before Le Lang could say anything, Ling'er next to him pouted and shouted angrily at the old man.
"Little girl, don't talk nonsense. This box is an antique. It is from the late Qing Dynasty. It is very expensive. Besides, I, Wang Youshan, am the most honest businessman. I am a typical childlike person. If you don't believe me, just ask on this street.
"After hearing Ling'er's words, the old man didn't feel embarrassed at all, but patiently explained to Ling'er.
"What? It's from the Qing Dynasty. It's been broken for hundreds of years, but it's still being sold, and it's so expensive."
The old man smiled bitterly after hearing this. It was a headache to talk to such a little girl who didn't even understand antiques.
"Forget it, I'll give you a little less, maybe nine thousand yuan." Le Lang didn't even counter-offer, so the old man started to lower the price himself.
Lelang was very satisfied with the box and nodded. Ling'er wanted to go over and say something, but Shaoqing on the side quickly stopped her and she gave up.
Le Lang took out the money from his pocket, counted out nine thousand and gave it to the boss. Before coming to Taiwan, he exchanged a lot of Taiwan dollars. He had not used them much on Ling'er's island before, but now he finally put them to use.
The boss counted the money and saw that it was just right. He put it away, looked at Le Lang, and asked him: "Little brother, you don't seem to be from Taiwan."
"No, I'm from Fujian." Le Lang put the box on the backpack on his back and responded casually to the boss.
"Fujian, my ancestral home is also Fujian. I went back two years ago. The changes are really big."
"Now that the three links are connected, you can go there if you want. It only takes a few hours, very quickly."
"That's right, walk slowly."
"Okay, no need to send it away."
After going outside, Ling'er led Lelang and the others into an alley. As they walked, she took them into a fish ball shop.
Tamsui's fish balls are very famous, and most of them are old shops. Ling'er has been here several times and is very familiar with this place. A few people sat down and ordered a few bowls of fish balls to eat. The fish balls here are the above
The shark and fish paste are mixed with a little potato starch and water to make it. It is firm and crispy in the mouth, has a chewy bite and is very flavorful.
After eating the fish balls, Ling'er took them into a meat bun restaurant. It seemed that he would not stop eating all the snacks here. Tamsui's snacks are very famous, including Tamsui fish balls and fish cakes.
, Tiedan and Ah Ji are the most popular. Fish balls and fish cakes are not used.
In other words, "iron eggs" are made by repeatedly stewing braised eggs until the egg whites are shrunk into thin black bast, which tastes delicious. The grandma's iron eggs here have a history of more than 30 years and are the most famous in Tamsui Town.
One of the snacks with a unique and unforgettable taste.
The name "Agui" is derived from Japanese. The original old store is located next to the old gate of Tamsui Junior High School on Truth Street. Now it can be found all over the streets. It is made by stuffing fried tofu skin with vermicelli and then paste it with fish.
After being steamed and topped with special chili sauce, it becomes this special snack.
The taste of the snacks here in Tamsui is the same as that in Nanzhou. Lelang and the others like it very much. As a result, after eating for a while, they can hardly walk. The front of the ferry is right in front, so it is easy to digest after a walk.
The best time to come to Tamsui Town is in the afternoon. After shopping and eating snacks, you can just take a walk at the front of the ferry. It is best to be a man and a woman, so that there is a mood. Of course, it is best to have a handsome man and a beautiful woman, look at it this way
It looks a little more pleasing to the eye too.
The setting sun in the distance slowly sinks over the sea, and the sea and sky are mixed with a touch of red, a touch of light blue, and a touch of orange. It is so beautiful that people are amazed. No wonder so many people like to sing Tamsui's songs and talk about the twilight of Tamsui.
.
It's a holiday these days, and there are quite a lot of people there. Men and women in twos and threes are walking here, talking, and looking at the dusk.
Le Lang and the others stood on the shore, watching the setting sun in the distance and the tide reflected red by the setting sun.
Next to it, not far away, a man and a woman stood there quietly, quietly, a bit scary.
After a moment of silence, the woman said: "Tao Cheng, let's break up!"
"Why, didn't you agree to wait for me to come back? We have been in love for six years. Is our relationship for these six years fake?" The man patted the railing next to him in pain and faced the side.
The woman said that although he had expected it, he did not expect that when it actually happened, his heart would be so painful.
"I never said I love you. Everything was done willingly by you. You are just a bad winemaker. Just dream." After saying that, the woman turned and left.
The man turned around and grabbed her left hand tightly, unwilling to let her go. He was a very emotional person, and he couldn't accept that the six-year relationship was gone just like this.
Seeing the man like this, the woman looked at him and said disdainfully: "Tao Cheng, can you have some dignity?"
Looking at her, Tao Cheng slowly let go of her hand, his eyes full of pain, turned around, and shouted loudly to the endless sea: "Why, why, why..."
I walked this journey on my own
How did this relationship become helpless?
I don't know who caused our sorrow
You are willing to save it
Your affection is also there
I asked myself if I wanted to keep fighting
There is no way forward, there is no way back
I want to open my mouth but can't make a sound
What do you want to reach out to save?
There is no way forward, there is no way back
I want to be free but I dare not fly
I want to stay and regret it
When we wake up, our dreams become empty
Let go of our feelings regardless of our unwillingness
Say goodbye to you and me from now on
