The various aspects of life - one of the aspects of Yunnan tour guides

It is said that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people. It is also said in "A Dream of Red Mansions" that insight into worldly matters is knowledge, and understanding human feelings is all knowledge. During our trip to Yunnan, the people we had the most contact with were local tour guides. During the ten days, there were three tour guides who arranged our food, accommodation and transportation. Each tour guide left a deep impression on us.

"Joker" - Bubu

Bubu is a tour guide in Kunming and arranged for us to visit Kunming and Dali. Bubu is very beautiful. She wears exquisite makeup and decent clothes every day. She always keeps a small flower umbrella in her hand. Her deliberate introduction and the pride and self-confidence she showed showed her high-end atmosphere and class. From the first meeting with her to the hurried disappearance, every tour guide's commentary in the car and the baggage kept being thrown out one after another kept us, a group of fools who had just entered the state, excited and excited. Fever.

She said that she was a college student and graduated from the Department of Tourism Management of Yunnan University. She went to the same school as Ma Jiajue, the famous man who killed four people in a row. They were almost in the same class but in different departments. She said that Ma Jiajue's murder was abhorrent, but he was too poor to even drink vegetable soup. At the same time, he suffered too many insults, such as being scolded, washing smelly socks, and writing a letter to a girl, who actually had her love letter in front of everyone. They tore it off and threw it in his face, so he was finally crushed to death by the last straw and chopped four people in a row with an axe. I wonder what she meant by telling us such a bloody story? I don’t know if she sympathized with Ma Jiajue, or if she condemned the alumni who casually insulted the personality of others, or if she approved of Ma Jiajue’s behavior. In short, it was a bit strange, but it was undeniable that everyone was holding their breath. She changed the topic and said: "When the fifth classmate entered the dormitory, he put down the axe. When the criminal psychology expert asked him why he let this classmate go, he said that this classmate once bought a meal Let him eat enough." Then, she earnestly advised us that a trivial good deed can save our lives, so we should do more good deeds when we are traveling! Then, she began to talk about the poverty in Yunnan, saying that even if we go traveling and buy a bottle of mineral water, we are contributing to the economic development of Yunnan and delivering benefits to the poor people in the border areas, so she thanks us for coming and will do her best. Try your best to do your job well. Hearing this passage for the first time quickly ignited the vanity in our hearts.

Bubu introduced that he has been working as a tour guide for nine years and is a leader in the industry. Then he started to explain the hardships of being a tour guide, having no vacation, not being able to spend time with his two-year-old daughter, etc. She was very indignant about the news hyped by netizens about the poor quality of tour guides in Yunnan and beating people. She also strongly condemned two teachers from Inner Mongolia who paid one yuan to travel to Yunnan without shopping at all and even sued the tour guide to court. She said Disdainful. Then she told the story of an incident where a tourist from the individual group she had just sent away lost her wallet and called 110. She accompanied him to the police station, but through the driving recorder, she discovered that it was another tourist in the same group who had stolen the wallet. Then she talked about several incidents where local people picked up mobile phones and promptly returned them to tourists. She said that the local people are particularly simple, straightforward, and have a clear mind. On the contrary, tourists come from all over the country, and no one knows who they are. We were silent, thinking that we were not those people who were free of money, but that we were a tour group that bought our own plane tickets, paid a considerable fee, and signed relevant contracts with the local travel agency. At the same time, we were secretly glad that almost everyone who came out together this time They are good colleagues in the same unit, they are all friends who know everything about us, there are no strangers. One after another, the meaningful stories seemed so real and such coincidences that this thoughtful Bubu came across them and told them to us as tourists. Subtle, moisturizing things silently, what a superb educational art this is!

In the next two days, Bubu said that he would adjust the itinerary appropriately and arrange us according to the time points in the contract. Sure enough, the scenic spots every day were so compact and rushed, as if they were competing for time, which made us feel quite unsatisfied. When we asked her where she was going next, she had a mysterious look on her face: "Keep it secret!"

No wonder, the fourth day was really her highlight. A certain ethnic cultural exchange center in Yunnan actually sells jade. Big shopping mall. On the bus, she started telling jokes again. When she was a little girl and had just started working, she met a few "big brothers" who were traveling across the border. They passed through Kunming with stainless steel high-end suitcases worth tens of thousands of yuan and went to Myanmar to participate in the jadeite rough auction. He brought it over and gambled on a few rough stones. As a result, he found a piece of high-grade purple jadeite, which skyrocketed in price. Then he sold her a jadeite necklace worth more than 10,000 yuan. When she took a group to visit Hong Kong, she was sold to a store that sold gemstones. The director saw her necklace and said that it would cost more than three times the price. Then Brother Liu, who had always been in contact with her, told her not to sell it, as it would still go up. The plot of this story is full of twists and turns, and as she narrates it vividly, we feel as if we are immersed in the scene, and our moods are ups and downs accordingly.

As I listened, I felt very familiar. I seemed to have seen a fragment in some online novel. Was it "The Golden Eye" or something like that? I thought about it again and again. In short, I don’t know whether novels come from life, or whether life reproduces novels?

Then she openly showed off her happiness. On her mother’s birthday, the filial siblings held a banquet and bought a jade bracelet worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. What did her father do for their sister in the early years? The two brothers each bought the Jade Buddha and the Jade Guanyin. They only used one month's salary at the time, but they are worth tens of thousands now. Why did my husband buy a bag worth tens of thousands for her, and she scolded her, so why not give it to her? Buying jade! I silently did some calculations for her. Wow, this is a rich and beautiful woman. She has at least millions of dollars in wealth. According to her, she even opened a clothing store! Still following us to work hard from dawn to dusk, it is indeed the Matthew effect, the rich get richer, and those of us who are paid a dead salary, have some time, add some subsidies, and go out to wander, doesn't it mean that the poor are getting poorer!

Of course, we also sold information about China’s unique jade culture. For example, the Chinese character "国" is a large frame with the character "jade" (in fact, she forgot that the Chinese character "国" in traditional Chinese is not written like this at all), the most important weapon of the country, the jade seal, and idioms with the character "jade" and so on. In short, everyone was stunned for a while, and occasionally echoed a few times, which was greatly appreciated by Bubu. Finally, back to the topic - buying jade. She added another paragraph, saying that she had a dream. She dreamed that people borrowed needles and thread from her at night to sew the wallet together, so she woke up with a fright. Then she said sincerely that this was closely linked to her performance, and hoped that everyone would cooperate with his work and not let her shave her head and become "really beautiful." If everyone wants her to change her name, let her change it to "Mantangcai". What does that mean? Even the tourists in the group bought it. When we got off the bus, she repeatedly greeted each of us: "Please support my work! Thank you!" That expression of expectation, sincerity, and anxiety really filled us with a feeling of inexplicability, as if there was nothing we could say. Buy, I'm really sorry for her. Really, it was with this emotion that I bought the girl a small piece of jade for 660 yuan. This is almost the cheapest price in the entire Jade Mall. In fact, for me, jade is a real luxury product! On the one hand, I know that in recent years, as jadeite rough stones have become increasingly rare, collectible jadeites have become increasingly rare. Without a certain price, there is no room for appreciation, and that is not what I can afford. Most of the jade jewelry on the market are made of scraps, and there is no chance that we will come across any genuine ones. On the other hand, I'm really not interested in jade. In this way, for the sake of the tour guide's face, I bought something I didn't like. Is this because of the superb means or because his position is unstable? The reason cannot be traced.

After leaving the mall, I saw Bubu’s face full of excitement, and his smile almost overflowed. I joked: "Bubu, can you change your name to Mantangcai!" She smiled and said: "Well, I'm not the last one, although I'm not the first one either, but you guys bought more than 80,000 yuan in one go. , and although the first place buyer bought more than 300,000 yuan, I am still very happy because only two or three people in their team bought it, and one of them bought nearly 200,000 yuan, and almost all of you bought it. "Oh, what a group! Silly! ! !

Next, we bought silver jewelry. Of course, before that, she introduced us to the silver chopsticks she brought with her, so I won’t go into details. Because she spent a long time in the mall, it was late for dinner. Even so, she still sold flower cakes to us in the name of her son opening a flower cake shop, saying that the driver was working hard and we should express our gratitude, and said that we could come together. send by post. It's a small amount of money. Of course we ordered one box for you and one box for me.

It was late for dinner, and she hurriedly left with her suitcase before we finished eating! Why? See the tour guide’s impressions below.
