Chapter 160
This is their last day in Rongcheng, and they will set off for Jiuzhaigou early tomorrow morning.
"Why don't you guys go? I can't stand spicy food these days, so I won't go."
When a few people were discussing what kind of hot pot to eat, Hou Xiaobing suddenly said.
"Why, if you can't handle spicy food, just order something non-spicy."
When several people come out together, it always feels weird if someone doesn't act with them.
Liu Xin said immediately.
Hou Xiaobing hesitated for a moment.
"OK then."
Lu Qingfeng glanced at his expression and spoke.
"We've been here for so many days, have you calculated how much we've spent?"
Liu Xin and Lu Hui both shook their heads.
Both of them come from wealthy families, and their parents have given them enough money for their travels. Even if they spend more than they deserve, they can ask their families for more, so they don't have any psychological burden.
Lu Qingfeng currently has enough royalties, so he is not worried at all.
Only Hou Xiaobing's expression changed.
Lu Qingfeng saw it and said.
"Let's do the math and not overspend."
I didn't realize it until I calculated it, and I realized I had spent quite a bit of money.
Air tickets, accommodation, meals, scenic spot tickets, commuting, plus various snacks and souvenirs, the average cost per person was nearly 1,500 yuan.
Liu Xin scratched her head.
"I still have a little over a thousand left."
He bought the most things these days.
"I brought a lot of money, and I still have more than 2,000 left."
Lu Hui mainly eats a lot, and Lu Qingfeng is worried that all his previous weight loss results will be wasted when he returns this time.
Hou Xiaobing said with difficulty.
"I have six hundred left."
He had actually been very frugal, but since everyone was traveling together, necessary expenses had to be paid.
He's not the type to spoil everyone's fun.
"Would you like me to lend you some?"
Lu Hui said immediately.
Hou Xiaobing waved his hands quickly.
"No, I'll save it for later."
He is also a strong-willed person, otherwise he would not work during the summer vacation to earn money for travel.
Lu Qingfeng thought for a moment and said.
"If we borrow money, the monkey won't have fun either. Besides, we still have a few days to play, so we have to leave enough money to go home."
"I think it's not easy for us to come here. Our parents supported us upfront, and when we ask for more money later, they'll nag us. We're adults now, so have you ever thought about solving the financial problem ourselves?"
This piqued the interest of the three people.
"What should I do? I can't find a temporary worker here, right?"
Liu Xin was both excited and curious.
"I have an idea."
Lu Qingfeng explained his plan.
Hou Xiaobing said hesitantly.
"Is that okay?"
"I don't know, but there's no harm in trying."
Lu Qingfeng said with a smile.
"I think it's okay, but did you bring your violin, Feng?"
"No, it just so happens that my guitar is no longer suitable for my current stage, so I plan to change it."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go, go, go."
Liu Xin is a playful person, and she is more enthusiastic than anyone else about such interesting things.
A few people first found a musical instrument store on the Internet, and then took a bus here.
Compared to the first time he bought a piano and knew nothing about it, Lu Qingfeng was much more experienced this time.
I chose a professional violin based on its tone and workmanship.
Then, we came to Yulin Road.
“Why not go to Taikoo Li?”
Liu Xin asked.
"Taikoo Li is too commercial, so I don't think many people are willing to spend money. Yulin Road is more artistic, and if there's a bit of a literary touch here, the chances of people being generous are higher."
Lu Qingfeng explained.
"Okay, then it's up to you."
Liu Xin and the other two dispersed and blended into the crowd, while Lu Qingfeng put on a hat and a mask.
Then he took out the violin, placed the instrument case on the ground, and put the temporarily printed payment QR code in the box.
The streets of Yulin Road are not trendy, but rather a bit old, with various shops on both sides and small shops along the street.
Crowds of people were walking on the street, and Lu Qingfeng's actions attracted the curious gazes of passers-by. Some stopped, while others took a look and turned away.
As the lights come on, the summer time is condensed in the warm tones of the street lights.
The tall and slender young man stood under the street light and set up his violin.
In the streets and alleys, the conversations of pedestrians, the aroma of barbecued food, and the faint music from the tavern create a leisurely scene.
Lu Qingfeng pulled the bowstring.
The first section of the melody progresses from light to heavy, like a sound coming from afar, with a classical charm, the vast blue waves, and a picture scroll slowly unfolding.
As the sun sets, the river becomes wider and the water birds just touch the water and fly away into the distance.
The elegant and beautiful piano music made many people on this street subconsciously look here.
The people nearby stopped in surprise and slowly gathered around.
In the crowd, Liu Xin and the other two looked at each other in surprise.
My friend, you have something!
No wonder he dares to perform on the streets.
There was no time to think about it, Lu Qingfeng's piano music had already fully unfolded.
"The Fishing Boat Sings Evening"
This guzheng piece is well-known to people across the country because a section of it serves as the background music for CCTV's weather forecast.
The first draft of this piece of music was completed by Guzheng master Wei Ziyou in 1925, and was later refined by his disciple Lou Shuhua, becoming a world-renowned Guzheng piece.
It is a classic and epoch-making work.
The violin piece was adapted from this, inheriting the structure of the original piece.
The slow tempo of the first section is melodious and sounds like singing.
As Lu Qingfeng played, the setting sun, the sails moving on the river, and the fishermen humming songs, the colorful scene unfolded bit by bit.
Entering the second section, the melody becomes cheerful, and the continuously ascending and descending music tugs at the audience's emotions.
It’s as if I can see the joy of fishermen rowing their boats and riding the waves.
That is the joy of harvest.
Two minutes and forty-nine seconds into the song, a familiar melody emerges from the strings.
Everyone felt dazed.
You may not know the name of this tune that has been engraved in your memory since childhood, but when you hear it, the feeling of being fresh in your memory is something you will never forget.
The familiar feeling can make people feel excited for a moment.
"Yanjing, sunny, 30-35 degrees."
Along with this melody, the images of the weather forecast came to my mind.
More and more people were attracted and some took out their mobile phones.
Some people in the shops on both sides of the street also looked over here in surprise.
The elegant violin music swept the crowd nearby.
