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

Chapter 2 Brother Jie is also a great poet

"Miss Su, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing. The tickets have been booked and we will leave tonight. Let me take you to dinner first. There are many delicious dishes here that are not available in Daqin." Su Jiahe quickly changed the subject.

Anyway, Ying Zheng will only be here for seven days, so let's keep the truth secret for now and let him spend a week happily.

"Well, when I was in the palace, I would have had lunch by now."

It was really inconvenient to travel in a dragon robe, so Su Jiahe first ran to a clothing store near the community and bought a set of casual clothes for Ying Zheng.

Ying Zheng changed into a simple jacket and jeans, and covered his bun with a hat, but his temperament was not diminished at all, and he instantly defeated all the domineering CEOs in domestic dramas.

"Well, the clothes worn by common people in later generations are more energetic." Ying Zheng stood in front of the floor-length mirror, admiring his own heroic appearance.

In ancient China, there was no 3D cutting technology, so clothes were all cut flat, making them relatively loose. Modern clothing is more fitted and can outline the body's lines.

"When the old man puts on this outfit, he will immediately look ten years younger." Su Jiahe flattered him.

"Don't call me ancestor, I'm not that old," Ying Zheng waved his hand, "Now I'm not the emperor anymore, just call me by my name."

"Okay, Ying..." Su Jiahe still felt that "Ying Zheng" was too difficult to pronounce, so she finally changed it to "Brother Zheng".

After changing his clothes, Ying Zheng picked up his sword and was about to go out.

"Brother Zheng, don't carry a sword. It's a controlled knife and you'll be caught by the government." Su Jiahe hurriedly stopped Ying Zheng.

"Can't even carry sharp weapons? How will people in the future protect themselves then?"

"Brother Zheng, don't worry. The laws are strict nowadays and everyone abides by them. There is no need for sharp weapons to defend yourself."

"Ah? The future generations are so peaceful and stable?" Ying Zheng showed a look of surprise, "I, the descendants of the Great Qin, have lived up to my expectations, hahahaha..."

Alas, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Su Jiahe looked at Ying Zheng's back and shook her head distressedly.

Under the leadership of Su Jiahe, Ying Zheng came to the special snack street in Bohai City.

It was dinner time, and the streets were filled with the tempting smell of fireworks and a wide variety of delicious food.

"Is this it?" Ying Zheng frowned slightly as he looked at the small shops with simple doorplates and people coming and going.

"Brother Zheng, don't be fooled by the glitz and glamour of those big restaurants. They are all scams. The real delicacies are found among the common people."

"Well, I've been in the palace for a long time, so I'd like to try some food from the market."

Ying Zheng was reluctant at first, but after tasting the fried clams from the first restaurant, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world and couldn't stop.

"Miss Su, the lives of people in later generations are so good." Ying Zheng walked on the street, holding a pancake in one hand and fruit tea in the other, eating them with great pleasure.

"The cooking skills of any small shop here are better than those of my royal chef."

"Grandfather, this can't be blamed on the imperial chef," Su Jiahe was afraid that the innocent imperial chef would be implicated, so she quickly explained, "As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Many of the ingredients we have now were not available to you back then."

"The chili peppers on this pancake were introduced to the Central Plains from overseas about 600 years ago. And the watermelon in the fruit tea was introduced from the Western Regions at least a thousand years ago."

"In addition to the ingredients, many cooking utensils also appeared later. For example, the wok used for stir-frying clams was not popularized until 900 years ago."

After listening to Su Jiahe's story, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I only thought about unifying the six kingdoms, but I didn't know there were so many good things outside of China."

Ying Zheng was proud for a moment and spoke a little louder, which attracted the attention of the old man next to him.

"Brother Jie, are you drunk already at noon?"

"Sorry to bother you." Su Jiahe gave an awkward yet polite smile, and quickly pulled Ying Zheng away.

After Ying Zheng had eaten and drunk his fill, Su Jiahe took him back to the apartment, packed his luggage, and took a taxi to the airport.

Sitting in the car, Ying Zheng looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, feeling surprised and curious.

"The buildings here are dozens of meters tall, what kind of wood could support them?" Upon hearing Ying Zheng's question, the driver glanced at him with a strange look through the rearview mirror.

"Dude, you know what it is, concrete?"

"Concrete?" Ying Zheng was confused.

"My friend was just joking, you don't have to pay attention to him." Su Jiahe quickly tried to smooth things over.

Ying Zheng looked at the passing cars and fell into deep thought again.

“How come the car is so stable when there are no tracks on the road?”

In ancient times, because the roads were uneven, there were tracks on the official roads, and the wheels of the carriages ran along the tracks.

"Same track for all vehicles" refers to the unification of track width.

"We're not driving a train." The driver took over the conversation.

"What is a train?" Ying Zheng continued to ask.

"Alright, alright," Su Jiahe reminded Ying Zheng quietly, "If you have any questions, wait until no one is around to ask."

Ying Zheng also realized that these things seemed new to him, but they were commonplace to people in later generations. He felt that his repeated questions were indeed abnormal, so he immediately shut up.

An hour later, the two arrived at the airport.

Under the guidance of Su Jiahe, Ying Zheng passed the security check and boarded the plane smoothly.

In order to let Ying Zheng feel the thrill of flying, Su Jiahe specially chose a window seat for him.

Through the window, Ying Zheng watched the huge "iron birds" gliding back and forth.

"I thought they were riding on it, but it turns out they were sitting inside it, and it can even accommodate so many people."

"Of course, if you ride on it, you will definitely fall down." Su Jiahe couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Even in India, airlines don't dare to sell tickets.

The plane was about to take off. Su Jiahe took a last look at her phone and found that there were several payment messages on Alipay.

Whether you spend money on air tickets, clothes, or snacks, you can get double cash back on every transaction.

"It turns out to be real-time cash back!" Su Jiahe couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised.

She was originally worried that 5000 would not be enough for a week, but now it seems I can take my charming ancestor out for fun.

After taxiing for a while, the plane finally stopped on the runway.

"Brother Zheng, hold on tight, it's about to fly." Su Jiahe reminded Ying Zheng.

As soon as he finished speaking, the plane suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

Ying Zheng was pressed tightly against the backrest, his hands tightly grasping the armrests.

"This iron bird runs really fast, ten times faster than the best swift horse."

As the plane gained speed, it left the ground. Ying Zheng felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and his body became light and floaty, rising straight into the clouds with the iron bird.

Through the window, Ying Zheng saw everything on the ground becoming smaller and smaller. Rows of street lights outlined the contours of the highway, and the layout of the entire city was in full view.

"Beautiful, China! Magnificent, China!" Ying Zheng couldn't help but blurt out.

The older sister in the front row asked, giving me a curious look.

"Oh, Brother Jie is also a great poet."
