I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 170 169. Jianmen Pass, Zebra Zebra!

Dusk.

Jiang Chen and his group arrived at Jianmen Pass.

We decided to stay near Jianmen Pass for one night.

This is a nationally famous tourist attraction, and there are many hotels and B&Bs around it where you can stay.

Han Qing had already booked a room in advance.

If we keep driving on the highway, we may arrive in Chengdu at night.

After all, the distance between Chang'an and Chengdu is not far.

However, Jiang Chen turned on the health-preserving mode and could not walk too fast on the road because he had to take a nap at noon and could not travel at night.

So, we stayed overnight near Jianmen Pass.

The two cars arrived at a small courtyard near Jianmen. Now is the off-season for tourism, so most of the homestays and hotels here are idle.

Therefore, all the remaining rooms in this homestay were booked by Han Qing.

When Jiang Chen and his group arrived, the boss was already at the door to greet them warmly.

The boss was a middle-aged man, a nearby resident who rented a house here to run a B&B. When he saw two cars parked at the door, he came up to help open the door: "Come on, come in, did you book all the rooms?"

The Trump accent made Jiang Chen feel very familiar.

Han Qing smiled and said, "Yes, boss, it's us."

The boss immediately said with a smile: "Come on, it's the off-season now, there are not many people here, only a young couple who came to travel. The remaining rooms are all booked by you. I bought some food, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Han Qing, Chen Xiaojia and others looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Just make a few home-cooked dishes, like twice-cooked pork, mapo tofu, tiger skin chili, etc."

When the boss heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, these are what I often do."

The boss walked into the yard gate with a few people.

This is a reconstruction of two rows of old houses. The two rows of houses were enclosed to form a courtyard. The houses have been renovated and have a quiet beauty among the green mountains and clear waters.

Jiang Chen walked in, looked around, and said with a smile: "The scenery here is really nice."

The boss smiled and said, "That's right. The couple is from the northwest. They have been staying here for almost a week and don't want to leave. They walk around every day and say they never get tired of the green mountains and clear waters here."

Jiang Chen: "I grew up in Rongcheng."

The boss's eyes lit up: "Oh, from Chengdu, that means he's a close fellow villager."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, we are close friends!"

The boss didn't recognize Jiang Chen and his group, which shows that he hardly ever goes online.

Otherwise, anyone who frequently surfs the Internet has watched Jiang Chen’s live videos or his live broadcasts, and will definitely recognize Jiang Chen at a glance.

because.

Jiang Chen’s live broadcast never uses any beauty effects. The live broadcast room looks the same as reality.

Anyone who has watched his live broadcast will definitely be able to recognize him if they see him in real life.

Unlike some anchors who use special beauty filters, the person in real life and the person in the live broadcast room are almost completely unrelated. No one will believe him without his ID card.

As we walked into the yard, the boss started to cook enthusiastically, and Jiang Chen, Han Qing and others assigned rooms.

Jiang Chen lived in the only one-bedroom attic upstairs, and the others lived in the room below the attic.

Originally, Jiang Chen wanted to live downstairs, but Han Qing and Chen Xiaojia were unwilling, so Jiang Chen had no choice but to live upstairs.

You can see the scenery further up.

Putting down his luggage, Jiang Chen stood in front of the window of the newly renovated small attic, which had been converted into a large floor-to-ceiling window. Looking at the lush greenery in the distance, he felt much more refreshed.

This is indeed the taste of home.

At this time, a voice came from the door of the yard below: "Boss, we are back. We are starving."

The young couple from the northwest came back, and it seemed that they were more familiar with the boss. They came in and started to greet him without any hesitation.

The boss who was busy in the kitchen stuck his head out and responded, "It will be ready soon. You can eat when you are waiting."

The young couple went back to wash up!
Jiang Chen also slowly walked down the stairs and stood in the pavilion built in the middle of the yard. There was a table in the middle of the pavilion, which was the place for eating.

This B&B has a homely feel.

Living here, the boss cooks three meals a day, and we all sit here together for each meal. The price the boss charges is much cheaper than the restaurants that are farther away.

The boss enthusiastically brought over plates of home-cooked dishes. Looking at Jiang Chen standing there, he had an extraordinary temperament and an artistic aura all over his body. He smiled a little stiffly and said, "Young man, these are just simple home-cooked dishes. Please bear with me."

Jiang Chen smiled and shook his head: "It smells good, the boss is making a good profit!"

Han Qing, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing all hurriedly washed up and changed their clothes before coming out.

Han Qing started the live broadcast as usual, fixed the live broadcast phone next to her, and then sat down with a few people. Sitting next to Jiang Chen, they looked at the plates of steaming and fragrant dishes, and their appetites were whetted.

At this time, the young couple also changed their clothes and ran out.

The young woman laughed and said, "Oh, it's so lively today. There are so many customers. You are going to make a fortune, boss."

As they spoke, the two of them naturally sat down next to Jiang Chen and his group. They looked at Jiang Chen and his group curiously, and then they were stunned for a moment.

The young woman looked at Jiang Chen with her eyes wide open, and asked in disbelief: "Hello, are you Jiang Chen?"

The man who was traveling with them was also looking at Jiang Chen and Han Qing carefully at this time, and then he stood up and said, "Fuck, it's really Lao Jiang, Lao Jiang, I'm your fan, I watch your live broadcast every day, but I didn't expect to see the real person."

The man moved his feet and wanted to hug Jiang Chen, but when he thought of the masterpieces written by Jiang Chen and his amazing calligraphy, he forced himself to hold back the impulse.

Jiang Chen is not like other internet celebrities!

He didn't dare to go up and offend Jiang Chen, so he sat down again and greeted Jiang Chen stiffly: "Hello, Jiang Chen, hello, Xiao Qingzi, hello, Yuexi, hello, Xiaojia, hello, Li Wen, hello, Wang Jing..."

The man called out Jiang Chen and the others' names in a familiar voice.

Obviously, he was not lying. He really watched Jiang Chen's live broadcast frequently, otherwise he would not have known the names of several people clearly.

After saying that, the man pulled his girlfriend and asked her to calm down.

Jiang Chen smiled at the two and said, "Hello, nice to meet you."

Han Qing, Pu Yuexi and others also greeted the two of them.

The mobile phone next to him was broadcasting live. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room had reached 1.2 million, and they all expressed envy.

"Fuck! This young couple actually bumped into Jiang Chen and his friends and are staying in the same B&B! Is it too late for me to rush over now?"

"Which B&B is this? I'll be there tomorrow!"

"Fuck, they are in the same frame with Jiang Chen. They are so lucky."

"Lao Jiang, you are a little slow. You haven't even reached Chengdu yet. The people of Chengdu are looking forward to seeing you return home."

"I know this place. It's at Jianmen Pass. I stayed at this B&B last year. The owner is very nice, and the food is delicious and cheap."

"It is indeed Jianmen Pass. I will go there now!"

"Wow, Lao Jiang, the people of Chang'an are beginning to miss you."

"Old Jiang..."

……

The boss then brought out a pot of rice, and several people served themselves and started to finish their meal.

Young couples are quite outgoing, chatting excitedly while eating. "Lao Jiang, we just got married and are here for our wedding vacation."

"Lao Jiang, when are you going to travel to our Great Northwest? We have endless Gobi Desert and desert there, so bare that it will make you despair."

"Lao Jiang, we have delicious food in the northwest, too. We can eat pilaf, barbecue, and watermelon all you can eat."

……

Many viewers from the Northwest in the live broadcast room also echoed this.

"Yes, Lao Jiang, come to my Great Northwest to eat barbecue and see the desert."

"Lao Jiang, we have Sayram Lake, Tianchi Lake, and Bosten Lake in the northwest, not just deserts."

"Lao Jiang, coming to the Northwest will definitely give you inspiration and allow you to write good works."

"Old Jiang..."

……

Jiang Chen listened to what the two said and responded softly: "I've been out playing for a while this time and I'm quite tired. I'll rest for a while when I return to Rongcheng before considering other things."

Both of them were a little disappointed after hearing this.

"Ah, you're not going? But you should go home and rest if you're tired. We'll go to Chengdu to play for a few days in a couple of days, and then it's time to go home."

"Hey, we don't want to go home. The mountains and rivers here are much more beautiful than the Gobi Desert where we are."

Both of them sounded somewhat melancholy.

Jiang Chen listened and smiled without saying anything.

Anything you haven't seen is rare.

People in the south like to go to the northwest to see the endless desert.

People in the northwest like to see the mountains, rivers and sea in the south.

Especially in Chengdu and its surrounding areas, at least millions of people from the northwest have come to settle here recently. Many of them are retired and live here for their retirement, and they like the scenery in Chengdu and its surrounding areas.

The housing prices in Chengdu have skyrocketed in the past decade, and these people from the northwest have contributed most of their wealth.

As a native of Chengdu, Jiang Chen had naturally heard of this. Even in the old city where he lived, he would occasionally run into retired cadres from the northwest.

In the suburbs where housing prices are lower, most of the residents in some communities are from the northwest.

of course!

Chengdu has also attracted more young people to develop.

The core reason is that Chengdu has developed too fast in the past ten years. It has now become the core area for the development of the Northwest, radiating to the entire southwest and northwest regions. The population has skyrocketed several times, and it has become one of the most populous cities in the country.

actually!

Jiang Chen felt that, compared to the population of Chengdu, the housing prices were not too high.

Looking at the coastal cities in the east and southeast, many cities with a population similar to Chengdu, or much smaller, have housing prices much higher than Chengdu.

So, in comparison, Chengdu is still a relatively livable city.

Jiang Chen still loves his hometown very much.

Finished the meal.

The boss also noticed that Jiang Chen and his group did not seem to be ordinary people.

However, he did not dare to ask more questions and just became much more cautious in his attitude.

After the meal, the boss took the initiative to quickly start cleaning up: "You guys take a rest, I'll clean up."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, boss. The food is very good, and tastes a bit like my mom's."

The boss immediately laughed and said, "As long as you like it and are satisfied, that's good enough."

Han Qing smiled and said, "Boss, this is a treasured B&B. We will definitely give you a good review."

The boss smiled and said, "Okay, thank you..."

Having said that, the boss quickly went to work.

Because it is the off-season, he has been here alone recently. He cannot be lazy and has to do all the work by himself.

After dinner.

Jiang Chen said to Han Qing: "Xiao Qingzi, go get a guitar from the car."

Han Qing stood up and walked out quickly: "Okay, boss!"

Pu Yuexi and Chen Xiaojia all felt a little regretful because Jiang Chen didn't need them to accompany every song.

The young couple both sat down with excitement on their faces, looking at Jiang Chen expectantly, and even glanced at the phone that was live streaming, whispering excitedly.

“I would never have dreamed of being able to see Lao Jiang’s performance live.”

"Hehe, we even appeared on camera, in Lao Jiang's live broadcast room."

"Now they will envy us to death."

"Be quiet and listen to what song Lao Jiang sings."

……

The young couple chatted in low voices for a few words, and when they saw Han Qing walk in with a guitar, they quickly shut up and sat upright, looking at Jiang Chen and the others.

At this time, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had risen to more than 1.4 million, and was about to exceed 1.5 million.

Now the number of people in Jiang Chen’s live broadcast room has easily exceeded 1.5 million, and is still growing steadily.

"I envy you for being able to watch Lao Jiang perform from such a close distance."

“It was really great to see Lao Jiang’s live performance in the ancient city of Chang’an.”

"If Lao Jiang holds a concert, I will buy a ticket to watch it no matter how expensive the front row seats are."

"Lao Jiang is going to play and sing again. I like this kind of Lao Jiang the most."

……

Not far away, the boss was busy in the kitchen, and he would occasionally look at Jiang Chen and his friends in the yard outside. He could see that Jiang Chen was the core figure of these people, and he was not an ordinary person.

Jiang Chen held the guitar and began to play softly.

A gentle guitar music with a touch of sadness and regret sounded.

Jiang Chen's hands moved back and forth across the guitar strings naturally, and pleasant music flowed out naturally, as if everything was natural.

Everyone who understands music knows that Jiang Chen’s guitar skills have improved again when they see him playing the guitar. The guitar has almost become one with Jiang Chen.

Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Li Wen, and Wang Jing all looked at Jiang Chen with envy. The guitar level they had accumulated after years of practicing guitar had now been surpassed by Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen's talent in music made them extremely envious.

Every guitar string seemed to become one with Jiang Chen's hands. When Jiang Chen moved his fingers slightly, the guitar strings automatically produced the sound he wanted.

Jiang Chen just played the guitar and enjoyed the feeling of playing the guitar. He didn't sing at first. He played for more than a minute before he slowly started to sing his own song.

"Zebra zebra, don't fall asleep..."

It seems to be singing, or just telling a story to itself, or talking to someone.

Just by opening his mouth, Jiang Chen's singing made almost all the listeners prick up their ears, wanting to explore the story behind the song.
