Chapter 31 Southern Xinjiang, a trip to that place.
Southern Xinjiang!
Everyone has a different southern Xinjiang in their eyes.
Many Chinese people like to spread false rumors, obviously they have never been there, but they follow the trend to say that southern Xinjiang is chaotic and dangerous.
In fact, how can it be so exaggerated?
At least Xing Jie feels very comfortable now. Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city, I also gave up the bustling traffic.
Xing Jie strolls along the path outside the city, and on the side of the road is the most iconic plant in Xinjiang, the poplar.
At that time, Mr. Mao Dun's article "Praise of Poplar" made Xing Jie intoxicated, and since then, crazy love for poplar has become one of his few habits.
Xing Jie likes the aspen here, even on an unknown country road, the aspens on both sides of the road are rising to the sky.
Where is the height of the old man Mao Dun, no matter which one has a height of more than ten meters, it is tall and beautiful. As far as the road goes, the aspen can be rowed. The same can be said of the guards. It's really wonderful to see these aspen poplars in this endless wilderness.
Xing Jie didn't go to Alimujiang's house in the first place. It's not that I have any opinions on Alimujiang's home, mainly because it's too far away, and it's a pity not to go to so many fun places in the middle.
Doesn't that sound contradictory?
Of course not, people who haven't been there can't imagine how vast it is. Those elites who stay in the concrete forest every day will only look at their computer desktops and long, and they don't know what it means to be high in the sky.
From Urumqi to Pishan County, the hometown of Alimujiang, the distance in a straight line is more than 1,200 kilometers. Coupled with the problem of the road, let's figure out how far it goes.
Compared with the beauty of northern Xinjiang, southern Xinjiang is a little more rough.
Different water and soil have also created different customs and habits. For the same kind of food, the practices of northern Xinjiang and southern Xinjiang are somewhat different, and the most representative of them is pilaf.
However, Alimujiang's pilaf itself is the most famous, so there are many choices for the rest, for example, now, Xing Jie has come to a big bazaar, which is what we often call a rally. Although the things sold are not very special, the freshly killed and grilled red willow mutton and the freshly baked naan are very attractive.
Thinking that even a rough Uyghur man had never seen Xing Jie eat so wildly and heroically, sitting on the ground alone, leaning on his own backpack, with a tablecloth in front of him, and a pile of oil naan bought on top of it, followed by a large handful of red willow mutton, a small barrel of kvass, and bits and pieces of fruit.
As soon as you start eating, the tiger will go down the mountain, and the wind will sweep the clouds.
Such a wild way of eating makes the owner of the barbecue stall feel a little suspicious of life, his barbecue is really the best barbecue in the world?
With Xing Jie's live advertisement, the boss's business has more than doubled.
Having money to earn, of course, is the happiest thing. The service is more enthusiastic, and with a wave of the hand, the bucket of kvass will be used as a gift, but the barbecue money is not less.
When you're full, you'll be on the road again.
However, those fruits are also really sweet, especially looking at the scorching sun on the side, but hiding in the shade and eating delicious fruits.
It's a really good feeling.
For a long time, the legend of Xing Jie has been circulating in this bazaar. He was a heroic man, and the only man who ate from the head of the Grand Bazaar to the end.
The sun in southern Xinjiang is hurtful, but it is cool in the shade. As the saying goes, wear a leather jacket in the morning, wear yarn in the afternoon, eat watermelon around the stove, and think about this is it.
I waited all the way west to Hotan, and I was not far from Alimujiang's home.
Here you can treat yourself as an ordinary tourist, just have fun and never mention the topic of buying jade, this is the only piece of advice mentioned in Alimujiang's letter.
This is not to say that there will be forced buying and selling, nor will there be shoddy goods. It's that although the jade is good, the price can also make you blind!
Now Xing Jie's net worth naturally doesn't care about the million-dollar grandfather, but jade is not Xing Jie's hobby, after all, there are too many transactions without capital, and I have seen too many kinds of gold jewelry. So Xing Jie developed a rather bad bad problem, all the treasures, only those who can be put in his pocket without money are really good treasures, and the rest are sad, only to increase sadness.
Alimujiang's home is a rather large private compound, and to Xing Jie's surprise, Alimujiang's parents have already moved to the capital city of Urumqi. According to him, all the family property over there belonged to his eldest brother, and as for poor Alimujiang, he only landed in this courtyard and a few hundred acres of orchards.
"Hundreds of acres of orchards?" Xing Jie's eyes widened, and a sip of tea squirted out.
This is also a helpless thing, from childhood to adulthood, the maximum area of use that is closely related to himself is only a square meter, or when buying a house, it can only be used. As for the 14.3 million square kilometers of our big foodie empire that are shouted every day in the geography books. It's too far away from us, just keep it in your heart.
"That's right, 600 acres to be exact, you can't do anything. I decided not to grow any more grapes, walnuts and apples, it was too much trouble, I rented it to whoever I wanted, and I only collected rent. ”
"Damn, I didn't know you bastard was still a big landlord, and you smoked cigarettes every day! But if you want to go to Jerusalem, I'm familiar with the Israeli side, and this is the phone number, so let me know when you go, and I'll say hello to you. What are you doing over there?"
"It's a matter of faith, and my religious beliefs make it necessary for me to go there once in my life. If it's good, I'd like to settle there. It's also nice to open a small restaurant. ”
It's good to have ideals, as for religious belief, that's people's freedom, and Xing Jie can't say anything. But Alimujiang's pilaf skills don't have to be said, it's a good one, and if you want to come there, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself.
If you don't eat it again, you won't have a chance, and the ready-made coolies won't be in vain, and if you don't eat delicious food, will you regret it?
is worthy of being a local tyrant, Xing Jie only stayed for three days, and then he saw Alimujiang and this guy rented out the land by dividing it by two, but the price is not to mention, I don't know if he will be broken by his father, it is too low.
Carrying a backpack and going out, this big yard was also handed over to Xing Jie to deal with by himself, or rented, Xing Jie lived by himself, it didn't matter. He just wanted to go on a trip.
And Xing Jie's evaluation of him is, MDZZ!
