There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 185 Dongbula
This open-air restaurant serves simple meals. Shen Fang ordered three cups of milk tea, two baked naan, a hand pilaf, several large skewers of kebabs and a plate of vegetable salad.

The diet in Xijiang is mainly carnivorous. Roasted mutton, boiled mutton, and hand-caught mutton can be seen everywhere.It will take some time for Shen Fang and Qin Mohan who are used to a light diet to get used to it.And Qin Ruoxi, who has never left Xijiang since she was a child, said it was a piece of cake. For a plate of vegetable salad, she picked two cherry tomatoes, and the main food was barbecue with naan.Shen Fang ate two mouthfuls of pilaf, feeling a bit tired, so he ordered another vegetable salad and Qin Mohan started eating vegetarian.

After lunch, Qin Mohan and his sister took a nap together, when Shen Fang suddenly heard a burst of music not far away.It is a kind of musical instrument, with the obvious sound of plucking the strings and finger joints beating the speaker, full of rhythm, it should be a musical instrument that Shen Fang has never touched before.

Through the sound, Shen Fang can clearly distinguish that this instrument should have few strings, and the pitch is mainly displayed through taste, which is quite challenging for the playing technique.

"Mo Han, listen, what kind of music is this?" Shen Fang woke up the squinting Qin Mohan.

"This should be the voice of Dombula." Qin Mohan followed the direction of Shen Fang's finger, and saw a store with Xijiang's special musical instruments hanging at the door, and the voice came from this store.

"Dongbula?" Shen Fang had heard of this instrument before, but had never touched it: "Come on, let's go and have a look." Since visiting the Grand Bazaar, Shen Fang took the initiative to lead the way.

The store is about forty to fifty square meters, and the walls are covered with exotic musical instruments, some Shen Fang knows and some don't.There were two people in the store, a man and a woman, and the sound of the instrument was played by the girl sitting inside.

The man is an uncle around 50 years old, he should be the shop owner.Wearing an ethnic costume, Shen Fang just didn't know what ethnicity it was. Seeing a few people coming in, he greeted them with a smile, and said: "Essarim."

"Aka, Salimu." Qin Mohan who followed in saluted the shop owner.

Qin Mohan said to Shen Fang who was a little puzzled: "This is an elder of the Kazakh nationality, generally called Aka, Salimu means you in our Chinese." Then he said to the shop owner beside him: "Aka, I only know a few greetings, but can you speak Chinese?"

The shop owner said with a smile, "If you're doing business in the Grand Bazaar, how can you not learn Mandarin. Welcome, you can call me Musa." Although the accent is a bit of the retroflex that is unique to the people of Xijiang, it can be clearly distinguished.

"Hello, uncle, I just heard the sound of a musical instrument playing, can you show it to me?" Shen Fang asked.

Musa invited a few people to sit down in the store, and said to the girl who just played: "Anar, bring your dombra here."

The girl was young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and handed the musical instrument in her hand to Qin Mohan who was sitting next to Shen Fang, and then Qin Mohan handed it over to Shen Fang.

This is a dombra, the front of the speaker is oval-shaped, and the back is bulging like a gourd. lower half.Shen Fang fiddled with it twice, the sound was crisp and bright, and he tapped the box with his hand, the echo was deep, it should be carved from a whole piece of pine or birch.

Shen Fang played the dombra with the way of playing the guitar, and the sound was a little weird. The main reason is that although the dombra only has two strings, it has a wide range.

Seeing Shen Fang's method, Musa knew that it should be his first contact.He took another one of the same style from the wall, put the qin in his arms, and pressed the strings with his left hand, and plucked it with his right hand.When pressing the strings with the left hand, the index finger and thumb are mostly used, followed by the middle finger and ring finger, the little finger is rarely used, and the right hand mainly uses the middle finger and thumb. From top to bottom, each taste is demonstrated to Shen Fang.

Shen Fang just didn't master the arrangement of dombra's grades, so he couldn't play a complete tune. Dombra's tastes are arranged in semitone order, which is more convenient than guitar.The more commonly used are C, F, G, B, D and other tones.Shen Fang tried the notes a few more times, and then played a simple piece under the surprised eyes of several people.

"Wow, have you ever played dobra before?" Musa asked in disbelief.

Shen Fang said: "No, this is the first time, mainly because I am familiar with the guitar, ukulele, and Yanjing Sanxian, and the principles of these instruments are similar, and it will be fine after a few explorations. "

The little girl Anar couldn't help exclaiming: "You are really a genius. I have been studying for three years, but I can barely play simple pieces. Just like this, Aka often praises me."

"Little sister, the main reason is that I have learned the guitar before." Shen Fang didn't mean to hit her, and didn't tell her that it was because he could accurately distinguish the range of sounds that he could master the instrument so quickly.

Musa saw that Shen Fang had mastered the Dombula technique so quickly, and said happily: "How about we play a piece together."

"Okay. What tune?"

Musa took the composition that the girl practiced just now and put it in front of Shen Fang: "This adai, I'll do it first, you have a look."

The composition of this piece is very simple, all that is needed is the hand speed and the cooperation of left and right hands picking and pressing the strings. When Moussa plays the second time, Shen Fang can keep up.

The bright dombra music played, and Anar, who was wearing a Kazakh costume, couldn't help but dance to the music. Qin Mohan, who had professionally learned folk dance, also stood up and wriggled along with Anar. Only Qin Ruoxi, who knew nothing, sat Biting the straw of milk tea, watching angrily.

Music has always been a means of attracting other people's attention, plus there are two beauties dancing to the music, and soon there are many tourists and passers-by at the door of the store.

At the end of the song, Qin Mohan and Anal who were dancing looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, a voice came from the crowd outside: "Mo Mo, when did you come back?"

The owner of this voice is also a tall and beautiful beauty.

"Wow, Gu Xuan, are you back for the holiday too?" The surprised Qin Mohan asked excitedly while holding Gu Xuan's hand.

"I just came back from Mauritius, and there are no scenes to film these two days, so I came back to spend the holidays with my parents." Under the introduction of Qin Mohan, Gu Xuan took the role of Xiao Zhuang in "The Breakup Master", and played in Liang Hui's "Why Sheng Before "Xiao Mo" finished, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei filmed other scenes first.

To be honest, the looks of Qin Mohan and Gu Xuan are considered top-notch in the mainland, but in Xijiang, where ethnic minorities gather, they can't overwhelm everyone with their beauty like they do in the mainland.Many girls from ethnic minorities here have Caucasian ancestry, their skin is abnormally fair, and their facial features are more three-dimensional and deeper than that of Han people, giving them an exotic beauty.

"This is my sister Ruoxi. This is my sister's good friend Gu Xuan!" Qin Mohan introduced his sister to Gu Xuan.

"Hello, sister!"

"Hello, little beauty. When I grow up, I will be as beautiful as your sister."

After Gu Xuan and Qin Mohan greeted each other with a smile, they said to Shen Fang who was beside him: "Boss Shen, hello!"

"Gu Xuan, hello." Shen Fang nodded: "Talk first, I'll buy a piano from the boss."

Musa was very excited that a foreigner could master the dombra so quickly. He insisted on giving Shen Fang a free one, but Shen Fang disagreed. When the two finally argued, Qin Mohan used the exquisitely crafted instrument he bought at noon. I exchanged my Yingjisha knife for a Dobra with the boss as a gift.

"The Kazakhs are the most hospitable people in western Xinjiang. They think that everything is external to them, and only the guests are the most important. They give you gifts, and you have to accept them." After leaving the small shop, Qin Mohan bid farewell to the enthusiastic Musa. Explain to Shen Fang.

When Qin Mohan was leaving, Qin Mohan wanted to help Shen Fang get something, but Shen Fang didn't give it to her, so he tidied himself up, carried it with both hands, and carried the wrapped Dongbula to the curious Qin Ruoxi.Let Qin Mohan, who is empty-handed, let Gu Xuan go with him.

"Where are we going to play?" Gu Xuan looked at Shen Fang who was holding a bunch of shopping bags in both hands, and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "It's only you, Qin Mohan, who can make Boss Shen willingly help carry so many things." gone."

"This is what a man should do." Looking at the embarrassed Qin Mohan, Shen Fang said.

Gu Xuan pursed her lips and didn't continue to say anything, but walked ahead with Qin Mohan on her arm, chatting about the fun things they had encountered recently.

A few people strolled around for half an afternoon, and didn't have fun until after five o'clock.Knowing that Shen Fang and the others were not driving, Gu Xuan showed an incredulous expression and took the initiative to drive them home.

"Come and sit at home." Qin Mohan invited.

"No, I've been out for a long time today, and my parents are waiting at home. I'll go back first, and I'll call you tomorrow." Gu Xuan declined. .

"Okay then, go back and drive slowly! Let's make an appointment tomorrow." Qin Mohan gestured for a phone call.

　I wish you all a happy new year, update at zero o'clock tonight!
