Chapter 542: Snowy Plateau
Lin Yue'e originally wanted to send Xia Ruofei out, but Xia Ruofei resolutely refused, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are busy with so many things at home, don't worry about me, I'm such a big young man, can I still get lost?"
After speaking, Xia Ruofei gently patted Nan Nan's head, and left the Luo family's old house in a chic manner with his bag. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, Xia Ruofei wanted to walk outside on the road to stop the car again, but he had not walked far from Luo's house when there was a sudden sound of an engine behind him.
A tractor stopped beside him, and a villager asked enthusiastically, "Mr. Xia, where are you going?"
Xia Ruofei didn't know this villager, but he knew that this person should have participated in the siege of Huang Zhenyu and the three of them at the door of Luo's house in the morning, otherwise it would be impossible to know him.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I'm going to go back, let's go to the town to rent a car first." ”
"Come on, I'm just going to town to buy fertilizer and give you a ride!" said the villager with a smile.
"Okay! Thank you!"
There is no need to walk by himself, Xia Ruofei naturally can't ask for it, and with a light support of one hand, he got on the rear body of the tractor, and the villagers laughed and started the tractor again.
There were also some straws in the car body, Xia Ruofei put the backpack behind his head, and lay comfortably on his back, looking at the blue sky, and he was still a little proud in his heart - it seems that in just two days, his prestige in Luoshan Village has been quite high.
There were some bumps on the road, but Xia Ruofei was lying on the thick straw, swaying and feeling very leisurely.
Soon came to the town, and the villager also enthusiastically sent Xia Ruofei to a taxi rank at the head of the bridge.
Many people in the small place are very familiar with each other, the villager first asked Xia Ruofei, and after learning that he was going to Yuzhang, the provincial capital, he went over to find a familiar driver, and quickly helped Xia Ruofei negotiate the price - chartered a bus to Yuzhang, a total of 500 yuan.
This is indeed much cheaper than Xia Ruofei's chartered bus from the provincial capital.
Xia Ruofei smiled and thanked the villager, then got into the taxi and headed towards the provincial capital Yuzhang.
Most of the area in Ganjiang Province is mountainous, and the roads are not easy to walk.
It wasn't until the beginning of night that Xia Ruofei returned to the provincial capital Yuzhang.
He asked the driver to drop him off at a Shangri-La hotel in the city, paid the fare, and then took his bag to the hotel and opened a room.
Yuzhang's economy is not as good as that of developed coastal cities, although Shangri-La here is also a five-star standard, but an ordinary big bed room only costs more than 800 yuan, for the current Xia Ruofei, this level of consumption will naturally not be taken to heart.
He went to his room and took a pleasant shower, and then sat comfortably on the soft bed, feeling that all the fatigue was swept away.
Xia Ruofei lay down for a while before taking out his mobile phone and starting to check the ticket information on the Internet.
Soon he booked a plane ticket from Yuzhang to Lhasa, Tibet, at about 10 a.m. tomorrow.
Then Xia Ruofei called the front desk again and booked a taxi at about half past eight.
Early the next morning, after Xia Ruofei had breakfast in the hotel cafeteria, he took a taxi to Changbei International Airport in Yuzhang City and successfully boarded a flight to the snowy plateau.
However, there was no direct flight from Yuzhang to Lhasa, and Xia Ruofei's plane stopped in Xi'an, and after staying at Xianyang International Airport for more than two hours, he re-boarded.
Xia Ruofei waited on the plane for more than an hour, and when he finally arrived at Lhasa Gonggar International Airport, it was already about eight o'clock in the evening.
The day was spent on the road.
Before coming, Xia Ruofei had already checked on the Internet, and the latest train from Lhasa to Nagqu departed at 6:20 in the evening, so he could only stay in Lhasa for one night.
The transportation is not developed, and Xia Ruofei can sometimes cry out in vain.
He took a taxi to a four-star hotel near the train station for a night and booked the first train ticket to Nagqu the next day.
At 8:50 the next morning, Xia Ruofei's train slowly started and headed towards Naqu, the destination of his trip.
The train runs along the plateau, and the scenery along the way is breathtakingly beautiful as far as the blue sky can behold.
Sometimes the train will also intersect with the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, and Xia Ruofei can see many cyclists on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, all cheering and waving in the direction of the train.
Taking the train on this plateau land with almost no pollution, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, Xia Ruofei felt that his mind seemed to be much more open-minded.
After a three-and-a-half-hour journey, Xia Ruofei finally arrived in Nagqu County.
Xia Ruofei walked out of the humble train station with a simple bag on his back, at this time he was wearing a jacket, a pair of hiking shoes on his feet, a rucksack on his back casually, and sunglasses necessary for walking on the plateau, looking like an ordinary backpacker.
Xia Ruofei found a small restaurant in the county town for lunch, and then began to walk around the county town with a canvas bag on his back.
Nagqu County is a well-known Cordyceps production area in the country, and there are many places in the county that sell Cordyceps, and there is a street where almost all the storefronts are hung with signs such as "Superior Cordyceps".
Xia Ruofei is not familiar with Cordyceps, so naturally he can't identify it, but he has his own methods.
Xia Ruofei took out a lot of cash from the space and put it in his bag before going out - Xia Ruofei always kept a lot of cash in the space, and in addition to no interest, the security and privacy undoubtedly exceeded that of any bank in the world.
Xia Ruofei, who had a lot of money in his pocket, wandered around Nagqu County, for most of the day, every shop that sold Cordyceps, no matter how big or small, even if it was a small stall, Xia Ruofei would go over to chat a few words, and then buy a small amount of Cordyceps.
Xia Ruofei's performance is no different from that of ordinary foreign tourists, shopping around this stall, going around that shop, and buying some things with the caution of outsiders, not buying much.
However, no one noticed that after Xia Ruofei put the cordyceps he bought into his canvas bag, it would disappear strangely.
In fact, Xia Ruofei sent Cordyceps sinensis into the Lingtu space.
Xia Ruofei doesn't understand Cordyceps, but Xia Qing does!
As a precious Chinese herbal medicine, Cordyceps sinensis has a description of its efficacy in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and the Lingtu space itself is planted with elixir Lingcao, and Xia Qing, as a spirit puppet dedicated to serving the Lingtu space, is naturally very clear about the identification of Cordyceps.
In fact, from the perspective of spiritual herbs and elixirs, Cordyceps sinensis is just a low-end medicinal material, but it is a more high-end medicinal material, Xia Ruofei has never said that he has seen it, and he has not even heard of the name.
It is estimated that on today's earth, those elixir spirit grasses whose names Xia Ruofei does not know, even if they exist, are extremely rare, and they must be encountered but not sought.
Every time Xia Ruofei sent a cordyceps sinensis in, he would communicate with Xia Qing with his divine thoughts, and he would make a number of the cordyceps in the space, record the name of the store that bought the cordyceps, and then identify it.
Finally, by ranking all the cordyceps, Xia Ruofei can easily determine which store has high quality and fair price.
Xia Ruofei hopes that through such a stupid method, he can find out the merchants who operate in good faith and have good things, and then move on to the next step.
In this way, Xia Ruofei spent the whole afternoon wandering around Nagqu County seemingly casually, actually looking for information.
This is also a way to do it, and it is impossible for Xia Ruofei to be introduced by some acquaintance and go straight to the destination, in the case of an unfamiliar situation, this is not a good way.
Soon, Xia Ruofei went to twenty or thirty shops selling Cordyceps, and each store bought a small copy as a sample and sent it into the Lingtu space.
Until the sun sank, Xia Ruofei felt that he had almost walked through all the points selling cordyceps sinensis in the county, so he was ready to find a hotel to live in first.
Just as Xia Ruofei walked out of the last shop, he felt that someone seemed to be following him behind him - although the streets were bustling in the evening, the sixth sense of the special operations elite was very keen.
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly, and quietly quickened his pace and walked forward.
He wanted to test the purpose of the man following him.
Xia Ruofei didn't expect that the person didn't hide it, and immediately followed quickly, and shouted in a low voice: "This gentleman, please wait!"
Xia Ruofei stopped and turned around, only to see a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old walking briskly towards him, this young man was thin and thin, with the signature plateau red of the Tibetans on his face, and his clothes looked a little shabby.
Xia Ruofei pointed at himself and asked, "Are you calling me?"
The Tibetan child nodded quickly and said in broken Chinese, "Sir, can you take a step to speak?"
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly, if he were a foreigner and came to a Tibetan area where he was unfamiliar with his life, he would definitely not agree at this time, but Xia Ruofei was a master of art and bold, and he was not worried that such a child would be unfavorable to him.
He nodded after a little hesitation, and the Tibetan child immediately led the way in front, and led Xia Ruofei through the streets and alleys, and soon came to a secluded place.
Xia Ruofei stopped and asked, "What's the matter, it should be said now, right?"
The Tibetan kid was obviously relieved when he got away from that neighborhood, and he nodded and asked, "Sir, do you want to buy Cordyceps?"
Xia Ruofei squinted at the Tibetan child and said, "You are following me?"
The Tibetan child hurriedly said, "No! Don't get me wrong, sir, I saw you coming out of several cordyceps shops on that street, and you buy a little bit every time, I guess you must be doing a market investigation!"
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smile and said, "The observation is quite detailed...... You guessed it!...... You called me here, do you mean you have Cordyceps for sale here?"
The Tibetan children nodded again and again and said: "Yes, sir, in fact, most of the shops on that street are controlled by Tashi Dorjee's people, and the cordyceps they sell are all the same, not to mention the high price, the things are not authentic, and when they see customers from other places, they often use shoddy grass to pass off some deflated grass, broken grass, and hollow grass as first-class products." ”
Xia Ruofei looked at the Tibetan child quietly, waiting for him to continue.
In fact, Xia Ruofei also nodded secretly in his heart, the cordyceps he bought in the afternoon, after Xia Qing's identification, most of them were of very poor quality, and even a few stores sold counterfeit products at all, without the ingredients of cordyceps sinensis at all.
This also made Xia Ruofei smile bitterly, no wonder people are full of skepticism now, whether it is the food they eat, the milk they drink, or the clothes they wear...... But anything that can generate benefits is full of all kinds of fakes.
This time, Xia Ruofei came to one of the main production areas of Cordyceps, but he didn't expect that the things he bought were still like this.
One can imagine how difficult it is for a foreigner who doesn't know Cordyceps to come here and buy authentic high-quality Cordyceps.
The Tibetan child was also secretly observing Xia Ruofei's face, but Xia Ruofei didn't say anything, he felt that Xia Ruofei seemed to be a little unconvinced, swallowed his saliva and continued: "Sir, Tashi Dorjee has almost monopolized the Cordyceps market in Nagqu, and other grass diggers don't dare to sell it to you even if they have good goods!"
Xia Ruofei looked at the Tibetan child with a smile and asked, "Does it sound like this Tashi Dorjee seems to be very powerful?"
"He's a demon!" said the Tibetan child through gritted teeth, "the cordyceps that the grass digger collected after a lot of hardships and even risked his life, he relied on his own power, and every time he bought it at a very low price, and those who dared to resist him were beaten badly by him......
"Then you still dare to sell me Cordyceps?" Xia Ruofei asked with a faint smile.
The Tibetan child said, "Because I really need money now!" Sir, I didn't dare to call you in the Cordyceps street just now, but secretly followed you for fear of being discovered by Tashi Dorjee's people. Sir, my father met a blue wolf at the foot of the snowy mountain in order to collect cordyceps, and in order to escape the pursuit of the blue wolf, he fell off the cliff and broke a leg. I was forced to take the risk to treat his wounds. ”
The Tibetan child's expression was sad, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but feel pity, but Xia Ruofei was still unwavering, and his expression was very flat.
He knows that many of the scams now stem from a show of emotion, and many people are in the game because of this.
The cultural relics vendors in Panjiayuan in the capital, every object on the stall, they can tell a twisted and bizarre poignant and moving story, even if the object is so fake that even a layman can see it at a glance.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei was not moved by the story of Tibetan children, but he never forgot his original intention, no matter how touching the story is, his only criterion for judging is the quality of things.
Xia Ruofei said lightly: "Money is not a problem, the premise is that the quality of your cordyceps must be good enough." ”
