The three major capitals of China are Xi’an (Chang’an), Luoyang, and Gaebong (Liang).
At a time when primitive farming methods were everything, they had something in common: they developed based on the productive capacity of the vast plains spanning Hebei-Hanam-Hubeuk-Honam.
When talking about openings, the huge canal cannot be left out.
The canal reached the center of the city, and if you took a boat in front of the government office, it was the center of Chinese water transportation, going north to Beijing, east to Luoyang to Xi’an, and southwest to Hangzhou to the sea.
It is connected to three huge rivers in the central plains, making it a vast waterway that connects with the Yellow River, Yangtze River, and Hoe River.
“hmm. Wake up now. “Go up and sleep.”
“Huh? no… … ”
Cheong answered without even opening his eyes in a half-asleep state.
“If you don’t like it, are you going to sleep here inconvenience? “I got a room, so I didn’t sleep comfortably in the bed.”
“I want to sleep here… … ”
“hmm. Well then, you’ll have to stay in the carriage. “I am going.”
Without even realizing it, I was Pang Daesan after casting You Live Here Mom Will Go Home.
If you think about it, it can be said to be a fairly universal emotion of humanity.
“bye… … See… … ”
However, Cheong was also the truth of truths.
Paeng Daesan stretched out his hand, but then immediately took it back and touched his chin with an embarrassed expression.
Even if you were a friend who didn’t know the differences between men and women, you shouldn’t have behaved like that here.
Instead, Paeng Daesan leaned his head close to Cheong’s ear and whispered with a characteristic low frequency.
“If you come to your senses, wake up now.”
“Hi! Wow, what is it? “Sooreum.”
The effect was amazing.
It was so amazing that Cheong’s eyes widened and he immediately stood up, and Paengdaesan narrowly avoided the collision between the head of a man with precious beauty and the Daegaltong, which was as strong as a 1000-year-old iron but contained nothing.
“Wow, creepy, really. don’t do it. that.”
Cheong was rubbing his forearm in disgust.
I was lying happily in the rest of my sleep, when suddenly a man’s grumpy voice pierced my eardrums, which of course happened.
“Hoo.”
Pengdaesan’s eyes were bright.
It was the flash of someone who had finally discovered the weakness of an obnoxious friend.
However, for a moment, there was something that was blocking the sharp starlight of his eyes, so he draped a large hat with a cotton thread at the end, covering the jade giraffe’s gracious face.
Since Paengdaesan had hurriedly purchased the item from the morning by giving money to a servant, the performance of the cotton yarn was not very good.
A pleasant line could be seen at a glance in the lower part, which was just made of cheap cotton yarn.
“What, are you going to cover your face now? “You say you don’t cover it up because you’re proud?”
“I thought about it all night and realized that I was the only one suffering anyway. It’s a law that dirty people must avoid. I thought it was like stepping on dirt and feeling uncomfortable because you were trying to go straight. “I asked a servant to get one for me.”
“okay. Good idea. That’s exactly right. “Okay, so do I.”
Cheong turned over his cotton thread.
Paengdaesan, who was watching this, asked.
“Was that the original color?”
“huh. Choryeo washed it well. Wow, the scent. I don’t think so, but you are a heavenly woman. “He’s also very attentive.”
“Contrary to who else.”
“That’s because I am a man. And actually, I can be a heavenly woman too, right? “I’m not doing it.”
“That means it’s already been ruined.”
As he got off the carriage, Cheong stretched out.
“Wow, I’m so tired after running all night. After all, people should sleep at night and not do other things.”
Paengdaesan was dumbfounded and shot him.
“What were you doing in the carriage with your eyes closed? “If you don’t wake up once, your face will be thick.”
“Hey, sleeping in the car is invalid, right? It doesn’t look like I slept at all. Hahaha.”
Cheong yawned with open mouth.
Since a woman with a loud mouth is one of the representative conditions for an ugly woman in the central region, even the sound of a woman yawning is taboo, so she turns away and covers her mouth.
Of course, Cheong doesn’t know, and even if he does, he’ll say that it doesn’t matter anyway since she’s not an ugly woman.
Paeng Daesan clicked his tongue at that manly arrogance.
“Let’s go and sleep and see you around lunch. “It is the second room from the end of the fourth floor and is marked with red pine.”
Paeng Daesan, who was still sitting in the carriage, said as he held on to the door that Cheong had opened wide.
“What is it, San? Where?”
“Every single cup was filled with customers, so even though I had to pay more, I could barely get enough. “I’ll take a nap in the carriage and come pick you up around lunch. Just be quiet and don’t get into trouble.”
Since the Moorim competition was right around the corner, all the guests also made long-term reservations.
If I hadn’t covered my face, I would have gone to Cheonmudae’s dormitory and stayed there, but now that I had run away with my identity hidden, I didn’t even want to do that.
So, he said he would sleep in the carriage parked in the stables.
“Why are you so uncomfortable in the carriage? I was short-thinking. There’s no way I could have paid attention to San’s personality. “I bet you stayed up all night wondering what was going to happen.”
“… … “I dozed off.”
“A tired person should sleep in bed. I must have slept a lot anyway, San slept in the bed. “Don’t say anything about men and women being different, I’ll just sleep on the floor.”
“Sure.”
Peng Daesan said that and lightly jumped out of the carriage as if he had been waiting.
The blue cotton thread tilted subtly.
“hmm?”
“Why do you do that? ah. however.”
And Paeng Daesan’s translucent lips stretched out.
“There are two beds, but I’m going to sleep on the floor. “After living as a beggar for so long, you must be comfortable on the ground?”
“Oh, are there separate beds? “What, but why do you say you sleep in the carriage?”
“Well, I only have one room, but the beds are separate, so should I tell you to sleep together?”
“ah. That’s right. “He’s being a weirdo.”
Cheong understood and thought at the same time.
So, I could only find one room, but I can’t say that I should share the same room, so I guess he was waiting for me to say something.
What is this annoying bastard?
However, the carriage owner is a mountain, the person who owns the room is a mountain, and the money spent on it is also a mountain.
So what can I do?
Say this and that to the topic of being a bitch.
No.
I was just going to play with Choryeo and Jun at the manor and come back slowly, but I just came with him because I felt sorry for San, who had no friends.
Therefore, Cheong had the right to confidently ask for anything on this release trip.
When I hear about the mountains, I will retort that I was just looking around when I was in Luoyang or on the way to Hwasan.
Paengdaesan slept soundly until he was done.
It was natural, since I spent the night without sleep while guarding the carriage last night.
And then I was a little surprised, because Cheong was sleeping again in the bed on the other side.
You wake up, go to sleep in the carriage, then wake up, go back to the guesthouse, and sleep again?
If I leave it to you, will you be able to sleep all day past 12 o’clock?
It was only this year that I caught up with Cheong’s martial arts skills, and I felt a sense of self-destruction.
After that, I woke him up, fed him lunch, and immediately piled up snacks in front of him, and then he started dumping them all in a pile and asking questions.
“So, what do you do now? What is famous here? “Isn’t there something to see?”
“Can you please just ask one question at a time? First, go to the village and say hello to the Lord. Hmm. If you hide your face, you don’t have to give it to me. Do you like it. “Maybe I should have covered my face a long time ago.”
“Look. “It’s easier to cover up.”
“It hurts my face a little bit.”
Hat hats that cover the face like this are commonly seen in the central region.
Since it was mostly worn by boatmen/coachmen, it can be said to be a functional garment that shades the sun when the sun rises, blocks the rain when it rains, and the cotton yarn wrapped around it blocks spray/dust.
However, since the perception of boatmen and coachmen was very poor, it was a lowly item for a high-ranking master to do.
“What are you talking about? “It’s not like anyone will notice anyway, so why lose face?”
“hmm? is it? “That makes sense.”
“So, what do you do now? “I’m going to die of boredom if I just keep lying down.”
“There are two famous Buddhist pagodas in Gaebong. One is high and one is low. Also, there is the largest market in the central region. And, of course, you may not be interested, but there are shrines to King Wu, Yue Fei, Zhang Liang, and Po Qingtian, respectively.”
If Zhuge Yi-hyeon had existed, he would have poured out all the stories related to him, but Paeng Daesan tended to provide only the minimum amount of information.
Two towers. High and low.
A shrine, you’re not interested anyway.
And the largest market in Jungwon.
“hmm? Pocheongcheon? “Where do you think I’ve heard this before?”
Then Peng Daesan’s eyes trembled.
“I told you four people, but you only know one name? How about Pocheongcheon?”
“I actually don’t know. Pocheongcheon? Are you a dancer? Anyway, it’s a shrine, so there’s nothing to see. And if it’s a Buddhist pagoda, isn’t it a temple? “How tall and big will it be?”
The pagoda that Cheong thought was the number one national treasure and was engraved on the ten-won coin.
No matter how tall the pagoda is, it is two times the height of a person.
… … There was a time when I thought:
“Wow. “That’s so high.”
After eating a large late lunch, Cheong could not hold back his admiration as he faced the sky-high brick tower of a temple called Gaebosa.
Of course, you can’t help but be surprised when you see the tower, which is 18 feet high and 13 stories high made of bricks.
The name of the iron tower is iron tower.
It is not made of iron, but the bricks are dull and the color of iron, so they are called iron towers.
“I’ve seen the high stuff, so I don’t have to look at the low stuff, right? Shall we go to the market? “When you think of a market, it’s a street snack.”
“Do you eat like that and then go back in?”
“Actually, there aren’t many seats. So let’s walk. After digesting it as much as possible, you should carefully select and eat it. You should have told me before lunch. “I must have deceived you well.”
“why. “You have a knack for keeping me speechless.”
“If you sharpen and polish anything, wouldn’t it be talent?”
Since there was no way to lose even one word, responding to him would have been an endless series of random words.
So Paeng Daesan kept his mouth shut at this point.
However, just because Paeng Daesan keeps his mouth shut does not mean Cheong follows suit.
Before I left the country, I wasn’t the type to talk a lot, but I was closer to listening than talking.
However, when people live abroad, what is the friend culture like, especially in China?
There are levels of friends, and you move up the ranks in strictly established steps starting from acquaintances.
They even notified us when the level increased.
‘I have decided to consider you a close friend from today onwards.’
This phrase, commonly used in Chinese cuisine, does not mean that they were not considered close friends before that.
When a person feels resentful of food, they tend to binge eat, and when people live in loneliness just to survive, they are afraid of silence and cannot stand the sound of silence.
“oh. What is that? “You packed rice in the grass?”
“It’s a smuggling ring. “It’s rice dipped in honey.”
“Why do you add honey to rice? “I don’t think it would taste good.”
“Honey is expensive, so I usually add boiled fruit.”
“Ugh.”
“Don’t you like sweets?”
“Rice and sweets are different, right? The two should not be combined. Sweet things are sweet, rice is salty, spicy, sweet, hmm? Can I wear it? What are some sweet foods? Galbijjim? Ah, I want to eat braised ribs.”
“You say anything with your mouth open.”
“under. Isn’t friendship originally something that blossoms through conversation? good. I close my mouth. “Don’t be surprised by the sudden silence.”
And then Cheong truly shut his mouth.
Since Paeng Daesan wasn’t the type to talk first, the two of them just walked around the market.
Suddenly, I realized that Pengdaesan Mountain felt very unfamiliar.
Isn’t it very comfortable to just wear a hat to cover your face and not have women following you around?
I felt stupid for thinking that hiding and hiding my identity was somehow like running away from the pressure.
“Ah, mountain. What is that again? “It’s a little creepy, isn’t it?”
“It’s a chicken head.”
“What, chicken head again? Who the hell is this place that eats chickens all the way down to their heads? “It doesn’t discriminate between men and women.”
“… … ? Then should I throw it away?”
Chicken head, along with duck neck, is a representative Chinese snack.
However, chicken heads were too much for him, so in the end, after much deliberation, Cheong chose a well-roasted duck neck.
Cheong’s voice was empty again as he was eating duck neck yum yum.
They say you can tell whether they are Chinese or a barbarian just by looking at them eating duck neck.
When eating a duck neck, you tear off the flesh, cut off the bone, roll it in your mouth, eat it cleanly without even the slightest bit of flesh, suck out the bone marrow, rip it out, and throw it on the ground.
After five years in Cheongdo Jungwon, it could be said that he had become a Jungwon person.
It was at a time when Cheong was picking metallurgy and metallurgy and looking around at all the things in the central plains that had come by water transport.
Suddenly, Cheong’s left hand stretched out to the left and grabbed a man’s wrist.
The feeling of bones being broken apart comes from my palm, and wow, yes, this is it.
You haven’t seen blood in quite some time.
“Ahh!”
Only the man’s desperate screams rang out.
