Chapter 350: A great place to take a nap! Is there a knockout drug in the air here?

And this discussion.

Modern netizens will do it.

The ancients in every dynasty also did the same thing.

However, it is obvious that the ancients were very accepting of the different customs and habits in different places.

Some modern netizens would like to eat while walking.

Or it’s cool to eat while walking on the subway or on the bus.

But the ancients did not think so. Instead, they thought it was very normal.

It’s good enough to have something to eat, why are you being picky?

The focus of ancient people's attention and discussion was, instead, the food in Wuhan called hot dry noodles.

How does it taste?

Ying Zheng, an old Qin man who liked to eat noodles, saw those people on the sky curtain eating this food called hot dry noodles with relish.

It did spark some interest.

"I remember the sky map I saw before."

“Wuhan is the former site of the Chu State.”

"I know quite a lot about the officials of the Qin and Chu factions."

"I've never heard of hot dry noodles. It looks pretty good."

“Could it be food from the afterlife?”

"If there is a chance, we can try it here in Daqin and see if we can restore it."

At the end of Ming Dynasty.

Li Zicheng, a native of Shaanxi, was also very interested in hot dry noodles.

And according to Li Zicheng's strategic plan.

Wait until later, after Henan is basically pacified.

The next step is to occupy the front line of Hubei as our base.

“So there is a delicacy called hot dry noodles in Hubei?”

"Haha, after I move to Hubei, I can give it a try."

"I just don't know about the hot dry noodles on the sky."

"Did it appear during the Ming Dynasty?"

"Or is it another delicacy from the future?"

……

A new sky appeared.

This video is also related to local customs.

【The No. 1 province for afternoon naps in my country! 】

[Excuse me, is there a knockout drug in the air here? 】

【Do you have the habit of taking a nap? 】

[As the saying goes, if you don’t sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon. 】

[Indeed, many friends in many places have the habit of taking a lunch break.]

[But the province we are going to talk about today has the highest nap rate among all provinces in the country. ]

【It is well-deserved to be the No. 1 province for afternoon naps in the country. 】

[Friends, have you guessed which province this is? ]

[Yes, it is Shanxi Province! ]

……

Later Tang Dynasty.

Li Cunxu, Emperor Zhuangzong of Later Tang, was from Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Seeing the announcement on the sky screen that Shanxi was the province with the most afternoon naps, Li Cunxu felt happy but also curious.

Said:

"We in Shanxi do have the habit of taking a lunch break, and even I am no exception."

"After all, if you don't take a good rest at noon, how can you have the energy to go to the opera in the afternoon and evening?"

“But is Shanxi the province with the most siestas?”

"I haven't paid attention to this point."

"The Tang Dynasty owns most of the country. Is Shanxi really the province with the strongest habit of taking naps?"

Li Cunxu's doubts are also the doubts of many ancient people and modern netizens.

After all, naps are something that are rare and common.

Why do you say Shanxi?

Is nap the first province?

【The habit of taking a nap is common across the country. 】

【But the afternoon nap of Shanxi people is different from that of other places.】

[In other places, businesses have to open for business at noon no matter what. ]

[In Shanxi, the afternoon nap is the kind that does not involve doing business, but stopping business to rest.]

【Walking on the streets of Shanxi at noon. 】

[The shops were either empty or simply closed for the night.]

[Sometimes you can't find a single open shop on a street.]

[Pull the rolling door and you can sleep! 】

[After waking up, I opened the shutter door and continued my business. ]

【Compared to a nap. 】

[Making money or something like that is no longer important. ]

【In the Shanxi restaurant, lunch was eaten a little slowly. 】

[When I looked up, I found that everyone in the restaurant had fallen asleep. ]

[Some were lying on chairs, some were lying on the table, and the lady boss even lay down to take a nap before she could collect the money.]

[Those who know know that this is an ordinary small restaurant.] [Those who don’t know would think it’s a shady shop that has put knockout drugs!]

[Some friends from other places came to Shanxi and were shocked by the afternoon nap in Shanxi. ]

[I came to a Shanxi noodle restaurant to eat noodles. The noodles had just arrived and I hadn’t paid yet. ]

[Boss, he is already sleeping soundly on the table. ]

[There are other customers coming in from behind who want to eat noodles. ]

【As a result, the boss fell asleep and didn’t hear it. 】

[I don’t even want to do business anymore! ]

[The key point is that according to local friends, at this time, you should never try to wake up the boss. ]

[Unless... you want to hear what swearing is. ]

While the story is being told on the sky screen, various images are constantly presented.

These come from selfies taken by netizens and videos shot by bloggers.

The shooting methods, angles, and locations are varied and different.

But overall, they all embody one characteristic.

That is how Shanxi people sleep anywhere.

The owner of the fruit stall was sitting and taking a nap.

The owner of the flower and plant stall was sleeping on a chair.

The owner of a pet shop sleeps in his shop.

The grocery store owner set up a camp bed and slept right in front of the store.

There was even a truck owner selling watermelons.

The car was parked on the side of the road, with a few cardboard boxes on the ground and a few watermelons placed next to it as warning signs.

Fell asleep on the road.

Some individual shots seem to be taken out of context and are intended to attract attention.

But there are also long shots that last from start to finish.

The photographer was walking on the street, and when he swept the camera over, he saw the owners of small shops and street stalls along the street, all of them were taking a nap!
This is very convincing.

[The Shanxi netizens I met all said that if they don’t sleep at noon, they will collapse in the afternoon. ]

【When it’s noon, I take a nap anywhere. 】

[There were few people walking around on the whole street. ]

[No matter what business you are in, big or small, you will fall asleep immediately at a certain time, as if a switch has been pressed.]

[Are you worried about losing things? ]

[It doesn't matter. Everyone is asleep anyway, so the things won't get lost. ]

[In Shanxi, you have to eat lunch on time at a street shop.]

[Because if you miss the meal time, you may not be able to find a restaurant that is open, and then you will have nothing to eat. ]

[After dinner, sometimes I don’t even have time to wash the dishes before I hit the nap switch. I fall asleep right away! ]

[Bosses all say that you can never make enough money, but you need to take care of your body.]

[Many people say that taking a nap is something that only people who work in a privileged environment are entitled to.]

【But this is not the case in Shanxi. 】

[In Shanxi, taking a nap is not limited to any place or any work.]

[It doesn’t matter what you do. ]

[Many units and companies have lunch at noon and go back to work after 2pm. ]

[Salespeople in Shanxi will never call you between 1 and 3 p.m.]

[Even the taxi driver said: "People here take a nap. We can talk later if you have anything else. Let me sleep for a while first."]

[It can be said to be very good, eliminating the phenomenon of fatigue driving. 】

[There are few cars and people on the street. ]

[Anyone still wandering the streets at this time must be an outsider. ]

[On the high-speed train, the quietest carriage is not the silent carriage, but the Shanxi carriage at noon. ]

【Don’t say that adults are taking a nap. 】

[Even the excited children dare not speak loudly. ]

[Because if he doesn't take a nap, the child's mother will give him a big slap. ]

【Take the Shanxi train at noon and look around. 】

[The entire carriage was surprisingly quiet, and everyone fell into a deep sleep.]

[Even the animals in Shanxi have to take a nap! ]

[In Shanxi, don’t go to the zoo at noon. ]

[At noon, the animals find a shady place to sleep. Black swans fall asleep directly in the water. When Siberian tigers come to Shanxi, they have to sit cross-legged for a nap! ]

[The zoo was so quiet that not even the birds were singing.]

[I went to the zoo at 1pm, and the animals didn't wake up until 3pm, so I couldn't see anything at noon.]

[In other places, when guests come to visit, they have lunch before leaving.]

[In Shanxi, after finishing the meal, the guests are asked to take a nap before leaving.]

[In some places, people are advised to be alert on the first day of the Lunar New Year and not to doze off. ]

[In Shanxi, it was 4pm on New Year's Day and people were still taking a collective nap.]

[In other places, people don't sleep until late at night, but in Shanxi, people don't sleep until noon. ]

【And Shanxi people start taking naps when they are young. 】

[When Shanxi people were young, when they went home at noon, the teacher would give them a nap note and ask their parents to sign it to prove that they had taken a nap.]

【If you are a student and don’t take a nap. 】

[The matter can only be resolved after the parents personally confirm it.]

【So my friends in Shanxi, tell me. 】

[Excuse me, is there a knockout drug in the air of Shanxi? ]
