Volume 1 Chapter 44: Holding a Cup and Drinking Bitterly
The next roads are all national highways, but except that they are not completely closed, they are similar to highways, that is, sometimes there are carriages, cows, and sheep passing by on the road.
And there is no snow, Xing Yu is also very strange, shouldn't his hometown be snowing heavily at this time?
I continued to drive for several hours, and when I drove to Turpan, I had to take off my thicker clothes, the temperature here was too high, so it was a little winter?
Later, Xing Yu heard a joke, saying that one year when the snow was falling, a mainlander drank too much in the bird market, and his friends sent it to Turpan Flaming Mountain overnight. When I woke up in the morning, I found someone wearing short sleeves outside, and I couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, what kind of wine did my friends from the frontier invite me to drink, I can get drunk all winter......"
Turpan's Flaming Mountain directly set up a thermometer like a golden hoop stick on the ground to remind tourists of the temperature here.
Turning over the hill is another scene, there is snow and ice on the ground, Xing Yu has to slow down, the ice and snow road, or be careful, especially under the bridge, at the exit of the tunnel, there is a lot of ice, it is easy to cause the vehicle to lose control.
This is my own territory, although it is still more than 600 kilometers away from home, but as the capital of the frontier, Bird City still has a lot of friends.
Someone had already helped Xing Yu receive the logistics vehicle, and now what Xing Yu has to do is to rush to the round. Grilled buns, noodles, grilled meat, finger meat, rice intestines, noodles and lungs. There are also Usu beer, Elite, Shorbrak. Wait for me, I'm coming, finally back to my hometown, this is the frontier.
This is the frontier, it is the place where I was born and raised, he is vast and beautiful, he was born like this, the water of Kanas Lake reflects the sunset and glows with silver light, the Tarim River flows in the middle of the desert, I think I long for me to sing and I bloom, to sing in the land where I was born, I climb high to look at and feel the sunshine of Turpan, watch the Tianshan Mountains stretch for thousands of miles into the distance, although I left my hometown a long time ago, but in the memories will never forget my frontier.
Brothers from the frontier meet, everything is secondary, everything is in the wine. People here drink alcohol, it must be one bottle per person, you say no, you can't drink it, that proves that you haven't drunk it well. When the time comes, you say, "Come, come, come, come a bottle." That's proof that you're already in place and can't drink anymore.
When I woke up with a hangover, it was still snowing outside, and my brother kept persuading him to change to a snow tire and go back, Xing Yu was also very confident in his skills and refused his friend's kindness.
picked up Xing Yucai's sister who graduated, and picked up the little uncle who came from Baihuahe Town. The two cars continued all the way to the west, and under the introduction of Uncle Xing Yu, a few fellow villagers were pulled home by the way for the New Year.
According to Xing Yu's uncle Niu Zhen, instead of going back empty, it is better to pull a few people, and you can also make up for the fuel and toll fees on the road. Xing Yuyi summed up, this is the truth, this is also making money, how can I not grasp this business opportunity.
People are still easy to find, and many people came to take a ride at the Baihuahe Town Office in Bird City.
There are acquaintances, and it is the old driver who leads the way, and Xing Yu has no pressure to drive. I'm talking to my sister all the way, where are you going to go after graduating from college? What are your plans? Are you looking for a boyfriend?......
The questions that will be asked by the elders when he goes home, Xing Yu can think of all the questions he can think of first ask his sister, and he will practice first.
On the way home, Xing Yu began to feel what is called snowfall, what is called snow and slippery roads, because they are all national highways, and the cleaning after snow is not very timely, and there are many logistics vehicles, so that the snow has become a ravine, and the left wheel is on the road in many places, but the right wheel is pressed on the snowdrift.
It is necessary to keep the direction at all times so as not to be slid onto the roadbed by the snow ravines. The temperature is also directly reduced to more than minus 20 degrees, because of the problem of experience, there is no time to change the winter glass water, and now the wipers can no longer spray water.
"Zijun, help me light a cigarette. Xing Yu didn't dare to let go of the steering wheel with both hands, so he could only say to his sister on the side.
At this time, the buddy who hitchhiked in the back spoke: "Your sister is asleep, I'll order one for you." ”
Xing Yu glanced at the co-pilot, it was true that his sister's ability to sleep when she got in the car was not something that ordinary people could learn.
What is sales? It is to find business opportunities around him all the time, and Xing Yu chatted with the people behind him by smoking.
Men, especially those who grew up in such a vast land as the border province, there are a few who don't like cars. When talking about the car, no one can stop it, the smoke is one by one, and the car must be introduced little by little.
The way back is only about 600 kilometers because of the weather. At noon, he only rushed to Kra City, and when he was eating at noon, the brother who was sitting in the back seat took Xing Yu to the bank to make money, and the manual transmission in the back had already been sold on the spot.
Xing Yu is very satisfied with this transaction price. This is far more than the selling price in Xi'an. Don't automatic, automatic transmission costs fuel, don't have turbocharged, and can't change the gas with turbocharging. Xing Yu also figured out the approximate needs of buying a car here, and wondered in his heart, what should I do? There is still one automatic transmission turbocharged model, is it not easy to sell?
To continue to eat bibimbap, you must add noodles, and garlic should not be missing. I have to run more than 300 kilometers next, don't pad it, people can't stand it.
After the meal, the passenger just now, the new owner of the car is going to drive it himself, in his words, the car was bought, and he went home for the New Year, now try it first.
The money is all given, what else is there to say. It just so happens that Xing Yu is also tired, he hasn't driven a long distance in the snow outside in the past few years, and he is really uncomfortable, now it's okay, he doesn't open it, the little uncle is here, do you still need to drive it yourself?
Xing Yu's little uncle Niu Zhen, who is also quite a person with a story. In fact, he is three or four years older than Xing Yu, but he can only be called a little uncle because of his seniority.
"Little uncle, Wishing you prosperity, are you going to give me a red envelope this year, elder." Xing Yu sat in the passenger seat, smoking a cigarette leisurely, and made fun of his little uncle.
"Get out of here, the farmhouse business is as bad as begging, I want to go out to work and beg, and I'm tired every day. Niu Zhen opened his mouth unconcernedly.
"How are you over there, didn't you have a good chat before, did you find a girlfriend?What kind of work do you do??,Do you make money?," Niu Zhen continued to ask.
Yes, Xing Yu is afraid, elders are elders, although they are not much older, but this kind of elders' soul questions for the New Year are just as much, and they don't pull a word.
The two talked and laughed, and ran to the head of the Black Mountain, which is known as the Baili Wind Area, and they are all small mountains. I couldn't tell what kind of pavement the road surface was, anyway, it was all rut marks pressed by the car in front. The direction is right, just follow it.
The snow chains have been replaced a long time ago, but unfortunately for this kind of road surface, the functions that the snow chains can provide are also very limited. For safety, you can only continue to reduce the speed of the vehicle.
Fortunately, there were old drivers driving, and both cars passed this section of the road without danger.
"I want to buy a trolley, run a tour, run a long distance, the farmhouse business is not good, everywhere, the county is a little bigger, and the farmhouse is a hundred smaller. Niu Zhen drove through this dangerous section of the road and began to relax.
"Running a tour? Are there many people coming to play now? Is it possible to make money by running a tour?" Xing Yu seemed to hear some business opportunities and hurriedly asked.
Xing Yu's hometown, Baihuahe Town. Located in the far northwest of the motherland, the mountainous area is densely covered with pine forests and numerous glaciers. There are many scenic spots such as birch forest, Baisha Lake, Mingsha Mountain, Qiye Village Mirror Spring, Halonggou Strange Stone, Narenxia Ranch, Kanas and many other scenic spots, as well as the only west-flowing river in China - Irtysh River, most of China's rivers flow from west to east, such as the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, this is because China's topography is high in the west and low in the east, and the water naturally flows to the low place. However, the distinctive Irtysh River flows westward, flowing into Lake Zaisan in Kazakhstan and then flowing north into the Arctic Ocean through the Ob River in Russia.
In addition to the Irtysh River, there are also three rivers that are also iceberg meltwater, and the abundant water resources also make the local products extremely rich.
Cold-water fish, what five blacks, dogfish, small white stripes, drooling when you think about it.
"There are too many, there are tourists all year round, and it is now known as the birthplace of human skiing, and there are people who come to play during the Chinese New Year. If you want to buy a car, you have to buy business, and your little Passat is too small to pull a few people. Niu Zhen said that he couldn't hold back the topics he was interested in.
Manual, naturally aspirated, able to pull people. Xing Yu also began to silently write down the local people's car needs.
Before driving into the county seat, the vehicle was blocked by a group of people. It's not an outsider, it's all my own little brother, I haven't come back for many years, and according to the local rules, I want to drink a glass of wine. This represents the greatest enthusiasm of the hometown people, and only distinguished guests have this treatment.
I don't know when this rule became popular in the county, seeing everyone standing in the cold wind and shivering, Xing Yu was embarrassed to refuse.
The dismounted wine is all in a horn cup, and you will drink it when you hand it to you, and it will spill out if you don't finish drinking, but it will be a bit too much for you to take a buffalo horn!
Holding the cup in both hands, looking at the air-dried meat in front of him, Xing Yu could only let it go, if he didn't hurry up and finish drinking, how long would the brothers freeze in this cold weather.
It is a long journey of 3,000 miles to the west, and the snow is about to be closed at the end of the year.
The north wind is cold and frozen, and the family feasts and drinks a cup of wine.
