Chapter 201: Small Places Are Difficult
Chen Yan said that he wanted to apply the style of Wasteland Fence, but I hadn't slept well for two nights and was anxious to go home and sleep, so I didn't say much to him.
In order to adjust my chaotic schedule, I got up early and went for a run. Kashgar is a comfortable city. In Shanghai, there are always many people getting up early in the morning to go to school, go to work, and make money.
, so I especially like the early morning in Kashgar, it is very quiet, the sun is very bright, and occasionally people going to school and working are walking on the road calmly.
Groups of people are waiting on the side of the road for line buses. These buses are somewhat similar to workplace shuttle buses. They shuttle between Kashgar and surrounding counties at fixed times. Most of the passengers are Uyghurs.
The reason why I noticed this was because of Wuling Hongguang. When I drove my small Wuling in the city and suburbs, people would often wave to me. At first, I thought I was asking for a ride, and I stopped the car twice, thinking of doing a good deed.
But after they saw my car and me clearly, they waved me away. I asked Maimaiti and they found out that it is one of the "public transportation systems" that runs fixed routes. Some small places have fewer people going there, so
These seven-seater Wulings are very suitable for transportation.
"As for the price, it's not bad. After all, it's better than the minibus. You have to wait until the minibus is full before leaving. This bus leaves according to the time." Decoration Maimaiti said.
I ran for about forty minutes, and I was already sweating a little. But because it was dry, the sweat would disappear quickly. Because I was thinking about decorating and shopping, I planned to see if he got up.
When I ran to the door of Maimaiti's house, his wife was sweeping the floor at the door. After asking, she said she had gotten up early. In the loud shout of Maimaiti's wife, Maimaiti came out quickly, still dressed neatly.
.
Maimaiti and I were standing in the morning sun chatting. I spent a lot of time describing the decoration effect I wanted and asked Maimaiti how to achieve this effect.
"Xiao Lizi, you have said so much and I am a little confused. Do you want the feeling of "One Thousand and One Nights"?" Maimaiti said.
I was really convinced by him, sincerely convinced, and secretly scolded myself for being stupid. I thought over and over again to put together such a thing, and wasted my time describing to several people the humble and ordinary life in the distance and the chrysanthemums in Dongli.
I was told by Maimai that everything was clear in just one sentence.
"That's right, Brother Maimaiti, you just want that effect. You are not simple. Because the small bar is small, I am afraid that the effect will not be good." I said.
"Hey, little Lizi, I went to school. If I don't know about One Thousand and One Nights, I'm not a fool. Let me help you think about it. It's not impossible to do what you said, but it's not good. I'll go look for it later.
you."
After finishing my talk, Maimaiti finished my cigarette and went home to have breakfast with satisfaction. I ran to see the decoration of Zuhe La's house. The project had not been fully started yet, so the effect could not be seen yet. This made me
The idea of reference was shattered.
Although Lei Jiajia's description sounds like what I had thought before, I don't completely believe it because the renderings in her hand are different.
It was still early, and I didn’t want to go home, so I ran to have breakfast outside the ancient city. Because I was used to the cheap and good Uyghur breakfast, I wasn’t much interested in breakfast in the city center.
I accidentally saw a Su's Beef Noodles, which belongs to Lazhou Ramen. I ordered the beef noodles and started eating them while sitting in the store.
"Brother Li, are you having breakfast?"
I heard someone greeting me and turned around to see it was Xie Yamin.
"Xie Yamin, what a coincidence, why are you here?"
"I just finished my morning shift and came here to have something to eat. By the way, when will the bar renovation start?" Xie Yamin asked.
"The time hasn't been decided yet, and the decoration plan hasn't been released yet, so I'm in a hurry," I said.
"I vaguely didn't understand the style you mentioned last time. Can you tell me more?"
"It's the style of One Thousand and One Nights. It doesn't refer to colors and patterns, but it refers to the feeling." I said.
"Brother Li, I understand what you said. Do all the guests sit on the floor?"
When Xie Yamin asked, I had an idea. It was a good idea to sit on the floor. For example, there are three kangs in a century-old teahouse where you can sit on the floor. For example, in the countryside where I eat baked buns and ramen, there will also be beds with small tables on the beds.
The problem is that the area of the Wasteland Bar is a bit small, and if it is a Kang, it may be difficult to divide the space.
"It's about the same. I'll ask an ethnic master to help me check it out. If the effect is good, it will be. It's not directly on the ground, with twenty Kangs and a low table, nor is it a big Kang. It's just an effect, similar to the tatami mats in Japanese restaurants.
"I said.
"Brother Li, if you think it works, just start changing it. This is not necessarily the case. If it doesn't work, you can change the style next year."
I don’t know whether Xie Yamin’s income is high, but her family environment must be good. What I consider is the effect and cost savings, while what she considers is not to miss the tourist season.
Xie Yamin and I went for a walk in the People's Park opposite. It was a bit ridiculous. I think almost no one took a walk after breakfast. Only then did I have the opportunity to get to know Xie Yamin better.
Xie Yamin is not a native of Kashgar. She studied journalism in college. Because she has a good appearance and feels that she can be an excellent host, she seized the opportunity and came to this city that no one else would have thought of.
"I admire you very much and I'm also very curious. Do you think you can get what you want here?" I asked Xie Yamin.
"I don't regret my choice at that time. I became a key reporter and anchor within a few months of arriving. Many of my classmates changed careers."
"Will you get married and settle down here? I have no other meaning in asking this. I just want to know more about people and things."
"What I said to others was against my will. I said I would live a stable life here. I don't quite understand the reason why Brother Li can stay here. Sometimes, I really want to go back to my hometown or go back to my school."
city." Xie Yamin said.
"I followed my feeling. I like the scenery and people here. But I can't find my goal, even though I don't have a goal in Shanghai," I said.
People's Park is a quaint park. It easily reminds me of some old times. If I accidentally find myself there, I may find myself decades ago.
"Many places in the mainland like to develop and change too fast. Kashgar is also changing very fast, but its unchanging things are what attract me. Returning to the question just now, I have no plans to find a boyfriend in Kashgar. Many things are different.
I was too big and always felt out of place. So, after meeting Brother Li, I felt like I had someone who could talk to me."
After that, Xie Yamin went back to work, and I walked into the store. At this time, the street was already very noisy. At the corner of the Grand Cross, clerks from a mobile phone store and a beauty salon were queuing up, shouting and dancing.
Although they look silly, we must admit that these young people work hard just like the mainland killers.
The phone in his pocket rang, and it turned out to be Chen Yan's phone.
"Did you find your phone number?" I asked.
"I found it. I didn't take my phone with me. I kept it at home and turned it off. But I can't remember why I didn't bring it with me. I almost thought I lost it."
"It's not easy for you to get up so early. What's the matter?"
"Talking about the decoration style, you know, some of the decorations here are either too tacky, like yesterday's trend, which is actually a bit rustic. Or they are too ethnic, such as the Golden Zun and Kessel we had.
A restaurant like this. I'll meet you in your store later, and I'll go take Xiao Sa to learn to drive now," Chen Yan said.
Because Chen Yan was coming over, I had to find some paper money and write or draw some ideas first.
"Little Lizi, where did you go just now? I gave you some thought, and I decided to use a kang, and use the backrest of the sofa to separate the sitting areas. In addition, there is a table next to the window." Maimaiti said.
I have never given up the idea of using a kang, but I have never been able to make up my mind.
"The bar can't be done as you said. Think about it. You also said that the most you can do is grill mutton skewers and grill them outside the door. Everything else is heated in a microwave or oven. The bar
Well, let’s keep it in the same place as before, make it bigger and make it more beautiful.” Decoration Maimaiti continued.
I imagined it in my mind and felt that it had lost its original intention, which was to create a tavern with a good atmosphere between people.
I shared my ideas with the decoration shop.
"Xiao Lizi, our traditional national decoration is relatively thick, and although the colors are bright, it is relatively dark. Your bar has a floor-to-ceiling glass wall. Looking from the outside to the inside, the national style is actually not suitable. Do you want to consider the Mediterranean style?
For a while, I tried to make it as neat as possible, that is, mainly light blue, white walls, and some of our national things, such as tapestries or patterns."
The more people tell me about it, the less I have any idea. Traditional decoration is indeed an option, but what I want is change. Traditional decoration is quite changeless.
"Brother Maimaiti, how does your host share the food with the guests? What I want is like that, so that the guests feel like they are guests at your home." I said.
"The difference is a bit big depending on the place. In Northern Xinjiang, their best meals are in the evening. When guests come in the morning and noon, it is naan and tea. They are evenly placed in front of the guests and divided. The inventory is different from ours
Here, some people don’t cook in the morning, and some eat pilaf in the morning, but generally they make delicious food at noon, and you can’t eat too much at night. It’s different. When it comes to guests, they are a little particular about it, but not much, and the guests don’t
You know, usually just put it in front of the guests."
"When we treat guests to dinner, it's very simple. We eat whatever we usually eat for guests, such as pilaf, ramen, rice soup, and meat. If we have money, we eat meat. We chat, dance, and sing.
