Jiaxing Travel Notes (Part 1): Walking with birds and dogs is not as good as walking with yourself more

Today I would like to tell you about my Qingming Festival holiday, a two-day trip to Jiaxing.

This trip was possible due to some twists and turns.

Originally we wanted to go to Shanghai Disneyland, but the queue leader discouraged us from going there due to the huge crowds.

Everyone discussed for several days, various fancy plans, but nothing came up...

In the end, the plan of "camping on the lawn below Dingdang's house" was even proposed! !

Anyway, no matter where I go, I only insist on staying out for one night.

Even if I have to lay a bed on the floor at Dingdang's house, I still have to spend the night outside. The desire to go out is so strong!

Ding Dong thinks the same as me, she also wants to wander out, so she doesn’t want to live on the lawn below her house.

Finally, little K was moved by our passion and jumped out and said: I will take you to visit Tongxiang, Jiaxing.

The mobilization work was over, and Dingdang and I retired with success.

The itinerary arrangement is entirely left to Xiao K.

I & Dingdang have quite a sense of achievement like Jiang Taigong fishing.

Little K: I really... owe you~

With my help, Little K made a two-day trip plan for us.

Although she doesn't like the homework I do at all.

But through my own efforts, I figured out the location relationship between Wuzhen, Tongxiang, and Jiaxing.

All that's left is that his eyes are darkened and he doesn't know anything anymore.

Little K arranged for us to leave early on Saturday morning and return after dinner on Sunday. She has her own arrangements for each scenic spot.

Little K and I set off early in the morning. Dingdang had to wait for his son’s interest class to finish before he could join us for dinner at four in the afternoon.

Little K: There are so many interest classes, why do you still insist on staying out for one night? !

Dingdang: Study and play at the same time! I like the fulfilling pace.

I immediately jumped out to comfort little K: No delay, no delay, I can start with you first, whatever you want to play, I will accompany you.

Little K: Bah, let me accompany you! We will provide you with guides and reservations, and we will play with you like a nanny.

Actually...I didn't dare to tell little K. I also secretly hid two little secrets...I was afraid of being beaten to death by her if I told them at this time.

Didn't Mibao fall on his own and hit his front tooth? When he went for a check-up before, the doctor asked him to stop wearing braces and review him in two weeks.

I made an appointment with the doctor before Qingming Festival, but it turned out that I could only make an appointment until Saturday morning. I thought, don't panic, little K must be sleeping in. While she was still sleeping, I asked Chen Xiansen to secretly take Mibao to see the dentist without anyone noticing...

The dental appointment lasts for about an hour. I go there at 8 o'clock and will be back at 9:30.

The time is just right.

Chen Xiansen accepted this glorious task with a livid face.

But the matter is not over yet.

The day before departure, I arranged everything (mainly arranging for Little K to do the guide, and arranging for Chen Xiansen to take Mibao to the dental appointment. It cannot be said that my coordination work is not important), bought snacks, and sat on the sofa waiting to set off tomorrow morning.

Mibao was also very excited, finally able to stay up all night.

In the evening, there was a lot of buzzing in the parent group. When I saw it, it was said that there was a team activity during the Qingming Festival holiday, and the team members had to go to the designated "red base" to check in.

Me: Mibao, you have team activities? What should we do? We are leaving tomorrow. We won’t come back until Sunday night. You have a cram school all day on Monday, so you don’t have time.

Mi Bao was very calm: I asked for leave from the team leader and said that I wanted to go out to play and would not go.

Me: Did the team leader agree?

Mi Bao: Yes, the team leader himself also wants to go out to play. She said she wasn't going either.

……..

Are team activities so casual? !

I would be naive to believe her.

After dinner, I was directly pulled into a group of team members, and several enthusiastic parents were making appointments! !

After some exchanges, I found that everyone was very busy and going out to play. Finally, we made a compromise and went to a nearby community to check in at 9:30 am on Saturday morning.

Once I calculate the time...it's not impossible...

I didn't tell little K. I didn’t tell Chen Xiansen either.

Their psychological quality is not as good as mine.

I plan to mentally, alone, silently resist all this.

Early on Saturday morning, Chen Xiansen took Mibao to the hospital for dental treatment at 8 o'clock.

I wasn't idle either. I got up at 8 o'clock and washed my hair first (if I hadn't been too lazy to wash my hair for several days, I wouldn't have been forced to wash it in the morning); then I packed my luggage.

Why not do these things the night before?

Harmful, lazy.

If you can put it off, put it off... If you can't put it off, don't do it.

Chen Xiansen came back with Mibao at nine-twenty, and I had just zipped up the suitcase!

Great, I have everything under control.

Then I leisurely told Chen Xiansen: Now get in the car with your luggage, put on the red scarf, and let’s go to the community team to check in.

Chen Xiansen was simply...his micro-expression told me that I could no longer be shocked.

Hey, a man's endurance is as big as the nail of his little finger.

While driving, Chen Xiansen muttered that I arranged things too closely.

I'm so wise. Now tell him I only need to be annoyed for 10 minutes. I told him last night that he would definitely be harassed all night long.

Fortunately, the check-in point is very close to my home, and it only takes 10 minutes. Everyone in the team is here, except the team leader. The team leader said he couldn’t come, he really didn’t come, he was quite a man of knowledge and action, hahahaha~

By the time our team finished checking in and taking photos, it would be 10 o'clock. Little K and the others were just getting ready to go.

have a look! have a look! I arranged it like a gear, perfectly.

Happy departure~~~

Day1: First stop: Rongzhong Dairy Farm.

Inexplicably, such a small dairy farm in the countryside has recently become a popular check-in spot for internet celebrities? I didn’t know anything about it before I went there, but after I posted it, many mothers left messages and all of them could tell their names directly.

Before I went, I thought very well.

I thought the cows were strolling on the big lawn, listening to music and producing milk.

I also asked little K: Can I milk the cow?

Little K: If you want to squeeze in, this one won’t work, but there is one next to it that seems to work.

When I arrived at UISI, the environment was very primitive. The bullpen stinks.

To be honest: I feel cruel and ashamed of myself as a human being.

They are imprisoned in such a small place for life, eating, drinking and sleeping here, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.

Although I don’t drink milk, I love eating meat and don’t want to look into the source... Alas, it’s just false compassion.

Little K and I were still taking pictures, while Mibao and Mango looked very bored.

There was no freshness for 3 minutes. They just wanted to leave here because the spoiled baby felt too smelly.

Therefore, mothers who want to bring their children to experience the original ecology of milk production do not need to arrange this trip. The children will not feel happy and the adults will be depressed. It is better to sit at home and happily drink industrial milk.

After staying for a while, we left. Under this situation, I no longer wanted to express milk by myself, nor did I want to watch the machine express milk.

Ignorance is also a kind of happiness. real. At the same time, with apologies and awe, we are grateful for everything we have.

Before leaving, little K bought a few bottles of milk and yogurt in the small office at the gate. It is said that many people drive here specially to buy a few boxes and take them back. We were afraid that it would be damaged on the road, so we didn’t dare to buy too much.

Day1: Second stop lunch

A mindless trip, the fun begins!

We followed Little K's car and drove for a long, long time... She said she would take us to eat at a small street shop, a fly restaurant, but it was so delicious!

I parked the car, took a look, and closed the door. The shopkeeper went to his grave during the Qingming Festival.

It was already past one o'clock, and the men were already very hungry.

So we ate directly at the "Good Food Shop" next door.

It actually tastes pretty good! !

Stir-fried beef louvers with garlic and duck in Jiaxing sauce (a bit like braised duck), both are delicious! Having a satisfying meal is of great significance to a trip.

During the dinner, they took out the milk and yogurt bought from Rongzhong Dairy Farm. Little K's family and Chen Xiansen, who love milk, were full of praise.

How delicious is it?

I took a small sip and almost threw up.

Drinking pure milk will make you sick. I have verified it for you. The purity is true!

Little K regretted not buying a few more bottles. The brand milk mixed with water in the supermarket was completely incomparable.

Big M also loves to drink milk. As he drank, he smelled a stinky smell... It turned out that stinky tofu was served! !

(Babies with weak endurance are recommended to skip this session and read paragraph 7 directly)

Unlike Anji's steamed double stinky tofu, Jiaxing's stinky tofu is mushy. The taste is stronger, saltier and smellier.

Big M took a mouthful, and his bright eyes suddenly lit up.

Big M: This is absolutely delicious! This tastes like…..

He looked around the people at the table in a very dignified manner and smiled without saying a word.

I don't like to be secretive and half-hidden when I speak. I followed up what Big M said: Like shit.

Big M gave me a knowing smile, took another sip and said: It's not exact enough, it's a bit like...

I knew it in seconds: vomit.

I could tell from Big M's expression that he felt as happy as meeting a close friend at the dinner table! With me as the foreshadowing, he no longer holds the elegant position...

Big M: It’s absolutely amazing, it smells worse than the dairy farm just now! (The descriptions of independent musicians are very visual, right?)

Me: I think of the scene where the cow peed and pooped while standing up.

Little K, sandwiched between Big M and me, felt it was delicious, but at the same time it was hard to swallow.

One side is friendship, the other side is love.

She chose both sides. Who can you blame?

Little K was very fond of her husband, and she specifically told me afterwards: If I write about Big M in my travel notes, I still need to have the image of an independent musician.

Me: Don’t worry.

I think if you like to eat stinky tofu, it’s not a sign of depression, right? Only independent musicians who love stinky tofu can write such an ethereal and down-to-earth song as "The Stars Are Singing".

Because we liked it, we ordered another dish of stinky tofu when eating "Zou Daxian" in the evening.

They unanimously commented: The shaped ones are not as delicious as the thin ones.

I'm different, I like to eat shaped food.

Day1: The third stop is to stay at the "DoubleTree Hilton Hotel"

The hotel that Little K booked was renovated in 2014 and is not new, but the price/performance ratio is quite high and the stay is good.

Little K checked in at the front desk, and the rest of us sat in the lounge area waiting for her. Two little kids, Mibao and Mango, were busy running around...

After a while, Mibao handed me a huge piece of gingerbread.

I do not want.

I knew that Mibao gave it to me because he didn’t want to eat it.

After completing the formalities, I went upstairs to my room. On the way, Little K said to me: Next time it will be you who will go through the formalities. Just now the front desk said "gingerbread is for children", and your mum said on the phone "Wow, is it free?" The front desk said "there are welcome fruits in the room", and your mum on the phone asked again "Wow, no fruit is required either. Money? "My high-minded image was immediately destroyed by your daughter.

Back in the room, I just turned on the computer and planned to record the travel itinerary...

Little K announced in the group: We will leave in half an hour!

The one who does the strategy is the boss. I didn’t dare to make a mistake at all, so I closed the computer obediently...

As a traveling companion, I have to do my duty: except that it is useless, it has no shortcomings. We cooperate with each other wherever we go, and agree on everything we eat. As long as you don't use your brain, you won't resist anything you follow.

Day1: The fourth stop is Jiaxing Zicheng Heritage Park (free)

If you love taking pictures, recommended index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

There are very few people and the park is not big, but it is easy to take pictures.

It takes about 30 minutes to walk around and take pictures.

As soon as you walk in, the overall planning and layout, as well as the proportion of plants, give people a very western feeling. It is completely different from the wild country parks in small towns in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with Internet celebrity glass bridges and rainbow grass slides.

Although it's not big here, it has a lot of flavor. Inexplicably, there is a sense of culture.

It’s very comfortable to go shopping on a cloudy day~

Chen Xiansen was like a teenager who was forced to go on a trip with his parents, holding his mobile phone in his hand the whole time. Afraid that I would scold him, he would pretend to take some ugly photos of me with his cell phone from time to time.

Little K and Big M are very caring parents from the bottom of their hearts.

Our Mibao has a great advantage, that is, it is very discerning. Whenever we go out to play, we never stick to our side. We always go to other people's homes to interfere.

At the end of the trip, Big M joked: I don’t care whether you two are parents or mothers. I won’t take you out to play anymore. I will only take out my little baby.

I was very happy when I heard it: I wish it was good.

Big M immediately regretted: I’d better take you with me.

The scenery really cannot be photographed. I don’t want to edit the picture until it’s distorted, and it won’t do me any good to deceive you.

In a word: Don’t follow what others say about any place. You need to see and feel it with your own eyes.

It was so cold that day. Standing on the city wall, each of us was shivering and had no intention of looking at the scenery. It's a bit of a pity.

If you wear enough clothes, this kind of cloudy day is actually the most comfortable.

Walking a bird, walking a dog, or walking a baby is not as good as walking your mammal self.

It doesn't matter where you go, what matters is getting out!

Day1: Fifth stop Yuehe Ancient Town Commercial Street

It’s a rare visit, recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Maybe it’s because you feel good whenever you go out?

I feel pretty good wherever I go.

Although Yuehe Ancient Town is small, it has all the necessary features, such as a food street, a commercial street, a small flower and bird market, a bar street... several functional sections are clearly divided, making it very convenient to visit.

Thinking of the crowds of tourists from all over the country in Hangzhou, we embraced the open nature in Jiaxing and walked through the streets and small markets where the flow of people was still acceptable... I suddenly felt very wise.

Not a single tree or plant growing in front of the house is welcome.

Move it to the corner of someone else's house...and it will instantly become a strange flower.

Guess, 👇 👇👇 what is this?

It's...a sketch of the scenery at the door of the toilet.

👇👇👇 I have seen some places where the inverted hull of the ship against the wall is used as a bookshelf.

Surprisingly...it's still a sketch scene at the entrance of the toilet.

It may have been too long since I went to a scenic spot, but now I can even put on makeup in the toilet?

This has further strengthened my determination to take good care of myself + put on makeup!

We can’t lose to public toilets.

Chen Xiansen first went to the restaurant for dinner to grab a seat, intending to eat "Zou Daxian" which is very popular on Dianping.com. We arrived at five o'clock, and there was just one big table left, and a long line started to form behind us~

Chen Xiansen was kept at "Zou Daxian" to look at the bags, while the rest of us strolled around the ancient town.

At this time, Dingdang and the others were already on their way here. Her son had been in class all afternoon. Dingdang comforted his son along the way: everyone else was playing silly, but you were the only one who took care of both study and enjoyment. , both hands are very hard.

Dingdang’s son said: Humph, it’s not uncommon to be such a diligent model!

As winter turns to spring, it gets dark later, and the happy time is extended.

While we were waiting for Dingdang and the others, we visited the Zongzi Museum. There was a professional explanation and we saw all kinds of strange local zongzi.

Just like going to Disney, after a tour, the tour guide took us to the shopping area: to buy rice dumplings.

Coming to Jiaxing without buying rice dumplings is like going to the movies without buying popcorn—it’s really unnecessary, but you just can’t help it.

It's 15 yuan each. It's delicious, but not as delicious as the 15 yuan ones. I bought several and went back to give Sister Wang, a little expert in making zongzi, a taste of the craftsmanship of the "originator of zongzi".

Sure enough, when she heard the price, my mother felt like she had won without a fight: my own bags only cost 2 or 3 yuan each! It tastes super good!

👇 Every time I see Youdunzi, I have to buy one. It's a pity that it is very tempting but tastes really bad. There is too much flour and not enough shredded radish.

👇 As you can imagine, the ancient town commercial street, just those gadgets coming and going... there is nothing to buy, but I am in a very good mood!

After walking around for a while, we returned to the hotel. We walked in and ordered food. Ding-dang and they arrived right after. The timing was just right.

Oh~ Dingdang, a senior expert and senior engineer, wore black, black wide-leg pants, a black navel-baring suspender, and a thin black suit. After losing weight, she is thin and saucy, and this outfit suits her very well.

The only question is: isn't it cold?

We almost froze to death in the spring breeze in the afternoon.

Ding Dong: Not cold. Aren’t you going to the bar to warm up after dinner? !

The stinky tofu in the evening obviously did not impress the musical talent Big M.

He regretfully said to Dingdang: It's a pity that you missed the stinky tofu we had for lunch, which was "stinker than a dairy farm".

Dingdang was so focused on flying to the bar that he didn't even care about the stinky tofu.

I wonder if the dish we ordered is wrong? I think "Zou Daxian" is not delicious, far less delicious than the street shop at noon.

They exchanged glasses of wine, exchanged glasses for each other... the meal was over.

Just when we were about to change places and go to the bar, the jingle phone rang...

When he saw the caller number, Dingdang looked surprised.

His face changed.

who is it?

Who can call Dingdang on this Qingming Festival night and successfully cause her to panic? Let’s listen to the breakdown next time.
