Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth(1/2)

"Well! Go ahead! People say you can't count the number of lions in Marco Polo Bridge. Let me see if you can count them today."

"Brother Fangyuan, am I that stupid? I can't even count these lions?"

"No, no, I'm just saying, go and count!"

"Brother Fangyuan, count with me!"

"Well! Let's go!"

The two people got off the car and came to the end of the Marco Polo Bridge. They came up from the east end of the bridge.

"Brother Fangyuan, you count to the right and I'll count to the left."

"Okay, let's get started!"

"good."

The Marco Polo Bridge is 266.5 meters long and 7.5 meters wide.

Each pillar is carved with a large stone lion, a total of 281. There are 198 small lions on the large lion, two on the top rail, and four on the watch, for a total of 485 in size.

There are stone lions on the east and stone elephants on the west at both ends of the bridge, which are close to the bridge head pillars.

The reason why there are so many lions in Marco Polo Bridge is because there are small stone lions on the big stone lions, either two on the top rail or four on the watch.

Fangyuan, who was a tourist in his previous life, knew this very well, so he would not make such a mistake.

Soon the two people came from the east end of the bridge to the west end of the bridge. Fangyuan finished counting first. When Wen Li finished counting, the last one asked: "How many?"

"Ninety-three."

"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, looked at Wen Li speechlessly and said, "You can just count the big lions! Why don't you count the little lions above."

"Little lion?"

"That's right! Look at the big lion." Fang Yuan pointed at the big lion and said.

"This counts!"

"Of course, otherwise how can we calculate it?"

"Okay! I'll count again."

In fact, it was completely unnecessary, even she knew it without counting the radius.

But what are they here to do? Isn’t it just to play? If it’s just to play, then what’s the point of having fun if they just turn around and leave?

With Fangyuan's reminder, Wen Li counted correctly this time, but she only counted the ones on the bridge, not the ones on the top rail and the Chinese watch.

But this is simple, so we quickly came to the conclusion that there are 485 stone lions in total.

At this time, the weather was already a bit hot, so Fangyuan said, "Let's go to Wanping Ancient City."

There are no trees on this bridge. The sun is shining directly, so of course you will feel very hot, but it is different when you arrive at Wanping City.

This is an ancient city, with many ancient trees that are hundreds or even hundreds of years old. Walking on the streets of Wanping City, the cool breeze blows, giving people a cool feeling.

Not to mention, it is quite lively here, mainly because after the reform and opening up, tourism has been developed in the imperial capital.

There are many people coming here in Wanping Ancient City, so there are more and more small businesses and vendors.

There are people making candy, people popping popcorn, and people selling all kinds of gadgets.

"Give us a pot." Fangyuan said, handing over two cents.

"Please wait."

The popcorn popper was a middle-aged man in his forties. He took the money handed over by Fangyuan and said to Yuanyuan quickly.

"Brother Fangyuan, this is too expensive. In the city, this pot only costs a dime." Wen Li quickly pulled Fangyuan and said.

"It's okay. Besides, this is the price here."

In fact, this is normal. Not only now, but also in future generations, the things sold in any tourist attraction will be much more expensive than outside.

Soon a pot of popcorn was ready. The boss wrapped it in two large pieces of brown paper and handed it to Fangyuan.

To be honest, although the price is a bit expensive, it is not bad, and it is basically the same as a pot of popcorn in the city.

"Here you go." Fangyuan handed one of the packages to Wen Li.

"Thank you brother Fangyuan."

"Let's go!"

"Um!"

The two of them ate and walked like this, and soon came to a stall selling rouge gouache.

That's right! It's just rouge and gouache, not the kind of cosmetics sold in shopping malls now.

But yes, after all, this is an ancient city. If you go out to play, just bring some rouge and gouache back with you.

Even if you don't use it, you can still keep it as a souvenir or go back to show off to others.

"Come to Wenli and see what you like?" Fang Yuan took Wenli's hand and walked to the stall selling rouge and gouache.

Seeing the items for sale above, Wen Li quickly shook her head and said, "Brother Fangyuan, I don't want it."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't wear makeup, why do I need this?"

"You don't have to use this. You can also buy it as a souvenir. Anyway, we also visited Wanping Ancient City."

"Brother Fangyuan, let's forget it! It's such a waste if you buy it and don't use it."

"Uh! Okay!" Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly.

Not long after leaving, Fangyuan ran to a stall and said, "Here are two candy figures."

"OK!"

After Fangyuan paid the money, he returned to Wen Li with the two candy figures and handed one of them to Wen Li.

Wen Li was speechless! She felt that Fangyuan was too childish for such a big man to buy candy figures.

But she had already bought it and it was impossible to return it, so she could only take it.

"Brother Fangyuan, we are here to have fun, not to spend money."

"Isn't it just money to go out to play? What are you going to do if you don't spend money?"

Wen Li looked at Fangyuan with a black line on her forehead and asked, "Brother Fangyuan, what's your logic?"

"That's my logic! Anyway, I think you have to spend money to play. Otherwise, why would you go out?"

Fangyuan had already said so, what else could Wen Li say, but thinking about it, it seemed right.

Besides, Fangyuan is rich! There is so much money that you can’t spend it all, so in this case, just spend it!

Although Wen Li thinks so, she still feels distressed when she sees Fangyuan buying something, especially when she sees Fangyuan buying things that are of no use at all.

Wanping City is not big, but it is not small either. If you want to transfer all of it, it will still take some time.

No, by noon, the two of them had only turned around halfway. Not to mention, the ancient buildings in Wanping City were really good.

It's a pity that you can't buy it here, otherwise Fangyuan would really have this intention.

The two of us ate here at noon and planned to continue walking around after the meal. It took a lot of effort to come here. If we don't finish it, we may regret it in the future.

"What a pity." While eating, Fangyuan looked outside and shook his head.

"Uh! Brother Fangyuan, what's the pity?"

"I didn't bring a camera, otherwise I could take some photos and go back."

"What's the pity? I'll take pictures again when I come back later."

But Wen Li didn't know that Wanping City in the future would be different from Wanping City now.

At the very least, these small traders and hawkers on the streets will be gone. This is what the ancient city should look like.

But even if he said this, Wen Li probably didn't understand it very well.

So he nodded and said: "Yes, next time you come here, you must bring a camera."

"Brother Fangyuan, eat quickly! Let's go take a look after eating."

"good!"

Both of them ate very quickly, especially Fangyuan. To be honest, the food here really doesn't taste that good.

It's also a tourist attraction, and you want to have delicious food for you.

After finishing the meal, the two of them continued to wander around. Unknowingly, the time reached five o'clock in the afternoon, and by this time, Fangyuan was already holding large and small bags in his hands.

These are all gadgets he bought here, but don't underestimate these gadgets. Although most of these gadgets are not worth a penny, they should be kept as souvenirs.

But there are several things in it, and they are all exquisite products! In later generations, selling any one piece for one hundred or two hundred thousand would be just a joke.

Even now, if you get a Liuli Well and sell it for three hundred or two hundred, it's not a problem. If you meet someone you like, it's not impossible to sell it for thousands.

So it seems that Fangyuan bought a bunch of useless things, but in fact he made a profit, and a huge profit at that.
