Chapter 268 Folk Village
The next morning, Cheng Qianan woke up from his sleep and felt that his muscles all over his body were a little sore, especially his abdomen. It must have been caused by not exercising for a long time and too much training.
"Wake up!"
As usual, Mother Cheng suddenly opened the curtains and opened the windows for ventilation.
"Oh, yesterday the sky was clear and clear, why is the weather like this today?"
Mother Cheng looked at the gray sky outside the window and smacked her lips.
"Then you're not going?"
"That's okay. You have to go when you say you're going. We've planned everything every day. Don't talk so much. Just get up and eat."
Mother Cheng shook her head and left the bedroom.
Cheng Qian'an said casually, sat up quickly, got up, washed and had a meal.
The original intention was to lose weight and control the weight, but since his mother came to Korea, the cooking methods have changed these days. It really makes Cheng Qianan unable to stop his desire to lose weight, and the goal of losing weight has temporarily become not to gain weight.
Who can resist the smell of home?
After a simple meal and getting dressed, the group of people set off from home.
Cheng's mother is graceful and graceful, and she still has the charm of a beauty even as she gets older. Plus she takes good care of herself and knows how to dress up. She doesn't look old at all when walking with Cheng Qian'an. From a distance, people think she is an older sister.
Cheng's father looked content and indifferent. He came to Korea purely to accompany his wife. Otherwise, except for official duties, he might never set foot on this land in his life.
If you want humanities but no humanities, and if you want beautiful scenery but no beautiful scenery, why is he here to contribute to Bangzi’s GDP?
In Seoul City, there is a group of ancient buildings in Jongno District in the north. Gyeongbokgung Palace, the palace of the ancient Korean emperor, is located in Jongno District.
Songpa-gu is located in the southeast of Seoul, and Jongno-gu is located in the north of Seoul. They are not too far apart, and it doesn’t take much time to drive.
"Just stop here."
Cheng Qian'an found an open space and stopped the car.
Bukchon Hanok Village is located between Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, and Jongmyo Shrine. It is a place with a dense concentration of traditional Korean houses. It is also the most representative traditional residence in Seoul. There are many historical sites, cultural heritage, and folklore materials everywhere. Therefore, , known as the street museum in the center of the city.
Several people got out of the car and walked into the tourist attraction area.
The bustling crowds of people in twos and threes were quite lively.
Bukchon Hanok Village includes more than 900 Hanoks in 11 holes. With the settlement of Hanok galleries, traditional workshops, Hanok restaurants, etc., it has become a new cultural and artistic district that has attracted much attention.
There is no tourist attraction without a foreign tour guide. There happened to be a Chinese tour guide nearby, who spoke in Chinese, and I also listened to some traditional customs and stories.
Everywhere you look are low traditional buildings. Some of the entrances of Korean houses have to be hunched over by Cheng Qianan before he can walk in.
"This small bridge and flowing water are a little better than I imagined."
Several people walked into a Korean house. Mother Cheng looked at the cleverly constructed small bridge and flowing water inside, and couldn't help but nodded in surprise.
She watches Korean dramas and buys Korean makeup, but she knows in her heart that there is really nothing else to do when traveling to Korea.
Lowering her expectations made her feel pleasantly surprised.
"Barely."
Father Cheng looked around, neither praising nor belittling.
The round beams, double eaves, and Chinese characters hanging on the plaques are all Chinese elements, but with some localization modifications over time, they can be considered to have their own characteristics, and it does not make people feel as if they have not been abroad.
The road is relatively narrow, and it is impossible for cars to drive in. It is only wide enough for three or four people to walk side by side, and there are many ups and downs.
"Here, take a picture for me."
Cheng's mother handed him the phone and stood in a place where there were not many people. She was next to the wall, with high green bricks behind her and the wall dotted with red ink, which was somewhat aesthetic.
"I'll do it."
Cheng Qianan squatted down and changed several positions in succession, pressing his fingers quickly.
He still knows how to take pictures a little bit, and he has perfected it through practice over time.
"Not bad, not bad. I'll prepare delicious food for you when I get back."
Cheng's mother took the phone, flipped through a few pictures, looked at them and thought they were pretty good, and patted his arm.
"Let's go and look somewhere else. There will be some big movies."
Cheng Qian'an just had the mentality of playing with him and didn't feel bored at all, he said with a smile.
"Hey, much better than your dad."
Cheng's mother smiled happily and disparaged his father by the way.
Father Cheng just pretended not to hear.
Walking around, they seemed to have walked into a market.
Hanok Village is not only a tourist attraction, but there are real people living there, so it doesn’t lack the atmosphere of life at all. There are some vendors selling goods while walking along the alleys.
The board is written in four languages: Chinese, Japanese, Korean and English, and merchants hawking can all add a few words.
Although the weather didn't look very good, it was completely white and even a bit muggy.
"It's hot, let's buy some of this."
There happened to be an ice cream seller, a few people stopped, and Mother Cheng said with a smile.
"OK."
Cheng Qian'an responded readily, walked to the store, and switched to Korean to talk to the man.
"Auntie, here are three ice cream cones."
"What flavor do you want?"
The aunt thought they were foreign tourists and was going to show them the board hanging on the wall. Unexpectedly, she also spoke Korean, but the communication went smoothly.
"Which one sells more?"
Cheng Qianan asked with a smile.
“Grape flavor.”
Auntie took out the cone.
"OK."
Cheng Qianan nodded with a smile and took out cash to pay.
There are also QR codes for WeChat and Alipay on one side. They must have been specially prepared by the merchants because there are too many Chinese tourists.
"Auntie, please give me two cones."
The voice of a girl next to him sounded very familiar. It felt like he had heard it not long ago. Cheng Qianan couldn't help but turn his head and look over.
The conversation is continuing.
"What does it taste like?"
"Grape."
The voice is deep, even if the key is raised high, it still sounds a bit deep.
"Ji Soo xi?"
Wearing a black baseball cap, two braids, and a black and white striped knitted cardigan, revealing a pair of big white legs, he looked pure and energetic.
"Um?"
Jin Zhixiu came in to buy coffee and wore a hat without looking at anyone. When she heard someone calling her, she raised her head and the blocked vision moved up, and she saw Cheng Qianan.
"Qian'anxi?"
Jin Zhixiu was quite surprised. She didn't expect to see him here, let alone just a few days later.
"What a coincidence."
Cheng Qianan said with a smile, and then asked her.
"I'm here to stay with my parents, what about you?"
Just when Jin Zhixiu wanted to ask him out loud, Cheng Qianan took the initiative to explain. He nodded with a smile on his face, "My sister and I came here to hang out together."
Also, BLACKPINK doesn’t have many schedules. They only made a comeback in April this year. Other than that, they have some personal schedules and a few unfinished overseas concerts.
The cones were made one by one. The aunt handed him a cone and Cheng Qianan caught it.
