A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 196 Riding a Horse

Arriving at the Gesanghua Restaurant in the village, Xu Hongdou looked at the food placed at the door of the restaurant and the menu written on cardboard, and couldn't help but be surprised: "There really is such a thing as 'water lily soup'? I thought Nan Nan just said it casually."

Chen Nanxing immediately retorted: "I won't just say that. Ever since you promised me to travel together three years ago, I have been keeping track of the situation here. I have heard of this watery yanghua soup a long time ago, and I have always been curious about what it is like."

"Yes, yes, yes, I am not understanding. Lu Cheng, you don't know that Nan Nan likes to give dishes names. Before, she treated me to "Mother and Son Meeting", "Guan Gong Fights Qin Qiong", and "Hot Kiss". Guess what these three dishes are?"

Of course Lu Cheng knew what the dish was, but he pretended not to know: "A meeting between mother and son, could it be bean sprouts stewed with tofu? As for Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong and the hot kiss, I don't know what it is."

Xu Hongdou laughed and said, "Look, no one else can guess it. Let me tell you the answer. 'Mother and Son Reunion' is fried bean sprouts with mung bean sprouts, 'Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong' is fried eggs with tomatoes, and as for the 'hot kiss', it is fried pig's mouth with peppers. At that time, I was so busy that I had a mouth ulcer, and I had to accompany her to eat fried pig's mouth with peppers."

"It's not some fried pig's mouth with chili peppers, it's a 'hot kiss'."

"Okay, okay, hot kiss. I will never forget the feeling of eating chili peppers with you while having a mouth ulcer."

"Okay, okay, I'm wrong. Today's meal is on my table. Come on, let's go in."

Chen Nanxing went in first to order food. Xu Hongdou and Lu Cheng looked at each other and smiled.

"You two have such a great relationship."

"That's right, Nannan is my best sister. Speaking of which, Nannan has always wanted me to come to Dali with her, but I always don't have the time. If you hadn't discovered her illness in advance, I wouldn't have known about it... I really have to thank you very much."

"I've already said it, there's no need to talk about this, we're all friends already, aren't we?"

"That's right, let's go. Nan Nan is treating us today, so we have to have a good meal."

The two walked into the house. Chen Nanxing had already ordered three or four dishes and handed the menu to them: "You guys keep ordering. Today is my treat, so eat whatever you want."

"Then I won't be polite. Nan Nan has already ordered soup and fish. I'll also order grilled breast abalone and tofu. Lu Cheng, can you give me anything else to add?"

"Then let's have another Xizhou Baba and a casserole fish."

Rushan is also one of the favorite delicacies of the Bai nationality and other ethnic groups in Yunnan. The main raw material is milk. After being made, it is similar to cheese, but it is spread into a thin layer. It can be baked or fried.

Xizhou Baba is also one of the special foods of the Dai ethnic group, somewhat similar to pies and scallion pancakes.

The food here is not too big and tastes pretty good.

Soon, the kitchen prepared and served the dishes. Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou first took a picture of the food on the table, and then pulled the auntie in the restaurant to ask what each dish was made of, how it was made, and whether there was any story behind it.

It can also be seen from some daily details that Chen Nanxing has great passion for life.

After dinner, the three of them returned to the windy courtyard. Lu Cheng went back to the house and took out a few mosquito repellent sachets and gave them to the two girls: "The environment here is better, with lush vegetation, and relatively more mosquitoes. These are some mosquito repellent sachets I made, and the effect is quite good. The big ones can be hung in the house, and the small ones can be worn on the body."

"Thank you."

The two girls set off early in the morning, took a flight for the whole morning, and traveled for most of the day. They were indeed a little tired now, so they returned to the room and began to rest.

She slept for an hour or two, until around three o'clock in the afternoon, when Xu Hongdou was pulled up by Chen Nanxing and walked out of the yard.

At this time, the sunlight was no longer as glaring as it was at noon. The breeze blew across Erhai Lake and into the windy courtyard, blowing away some of the sleepiness of the two women.

When the two girls walked into the yard, they saw Lu Cheng sitting under a tree reading a book, while the two cats Jiahui and Xiaohei were sleeping beside him, looking particularly harmonious.

"Lu Cheng, what are your plans for the afternoon? We'll listen to you."

Lu Cheng picked up his phone and checked the time. It was almost 4 o'clock. After thinking for a while, he said, "When I was out walking yesterday, I saw a horse farm outside the village. If you are interested, we can go and try horseback riding. After riding, we can go to the town or the county to have some snacks. How about it?"

Chen Nanxing immediately nodded in agreement: "Of course no problem. I have never ridden a horse, and Hongdou probably hasn't either. Lu Cheng, have you ever ridden a horse?"

"I have some experience, so it won't be a problem for me to guide you."

Xu Hongdou was a little hesitant: "I have never been in close contact with a horse before, I wonder if it is safe?"

"Don't worry, since the horses here are for tourists to ride, they must be relatively docile."

Chen Nanxing also pulled Xu Hongdou and said, "Let's go. Life will be more exciting if you are brave enough to try things you have never tried before."

It was already getting late, so Lu Cheng drove the two women directly to the outside of the racecourse.

The location here is quite remote, and there are not many tourists at the horse farm at this time. There are only seven or eight horses eating grass leisurely.

Hearing the sound of riding outside, a middle-aged uncle ran out of the horse farm and greeted us enthusiastically: "Do you want to ride horses?"

"Yes, Master, how do we charge for horse riding?"

"Fifty yuan for half an hour, eighty yuan for an hour. If you need the master to guide you all the time, add another twenty yuan."

Lu Cheng took out his phone and said, "There are three of us, and three horses." After saying that, Lu Cheng looked at the two women and asked, "How long will it take to ride?"

"Try it for half an hour. I'll pay."

"No, Nan Nan treated us to lunch, so I'll pay for the horse riding. Master, I don't need you to teach me. I have experience in horse riding. Can I choose a horse myself?"

"Of course, you can pick any of the adult horses at our stable."

Lu Cheng had conquered the world on horseback in his previous life, so he was naturally familiar with riding horses. He instructed the two women, "I'll go try it first, don't worry."

Afterwards, Lu Cheng walked into the stable and quickly selected the strongest adult horse. He walked up to the horse, skillfully patted its head, stroked its mane, had a brief conversation with the horse, leaped up easily and jumped onto the horse's back. He took the reins with his left hand and gently patted the horse with his right hand. The horse immediately started running and ran faster and faster.

At the beginning, the horse was not quite accustomed to Lu Cheng's riding, but as Lu Cheng adjusted his rhythm, he soon reached a tacit understanding with the horse. He was like a general galloping on the battlefield, riding his horse and turning over, and the only thing he lacked was a bright silver spear in his hand.

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing on the side were stunned. They didn't expect Lu Cheng to have such a unique skill.

The horse breeder at the horse farm was also a little surprised: "Your friend is not an ordinary person. If he had a good horse, he might even win the championship if he participated in the horse racing competition."

Chen Nanxing's eyes were already full of stars: "Is Lu Cheng really that amazing?"

"Of course, the horse he chose is the strongest horse in our stable, and it is not very docile. It rarely gives commissions to other tourists. This gentleman was able to get the hang of it so quickly, and he was able to make the horse cooperate with his movements, almost reaching the state of unity between man and horse. This is definitely not something that can be practiced in a day or two, and many people may not be able to achieve this skill even if they practice for a lifetime."

Xu Hongdou was also a little surprised: "I really didn't expect that Lu Cheng actually has such a talent."

Soon, Lu Cheng rode the horse in a big circle on the racecourse, performing various stunts in the middle, and even pulled the reins to make the horse stand up, and then fell heavily, which made the people watching feel excited.

Then, Lu Cheng rode his horse to the two women, flipped over, and landed beautifully: "I haven't ridden for a long time, but it feels good."

The horse also nudged Lu Cheng, as if it wanted Lu Cheng to take it for a gallop again.
