Chapter 44, the sky wants snow in the morning
The delicate fibers of the barbecue are broken under the gentle chewing of the teeth, and the teeth are slightly elastic. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info full of juice, the surface of the meat is browned, and the small grains of cumin and fine chili powder on the top bring a strange coarseness when they scratch the tongue coating. Take a big bite and the meat is refreshing and firm.
Paired with a sip of cold beer, Tang Wen sighed contentedly. Looking at the girlfriend sitting opposite, there is an illusion that life is complete.
Zhuang Si commented while eating: "It's very different from what we eat over there! the outside is scorched and the inside is tender, and the juice is really full..."
Xiaoxi replied: "The barbecue here is first charred on the outside with an open flame to lock in the juice, and then slowly roasted for a while. ”
"Chefs in other cities don't know that this is more delicious?" Zhuang Si asked again.
"I know, I know, but the ingredients don't work, the meat here doesn't smell. Only then do you dare to do this, the mutton raised by feed fattening, according to this method, you have to spit it out when you eat it!"
"Oh, that's right. ”
"I said, you have also eaten meat and drunk wine, have you come up with the idea of helping to open a bookstore?"
Tang Wen also didn't sell Guanzi: "Have you heard of crowdfunding?"
At this point in time, crowdfunding is not as popular as in the next few years, and it is a concept that has just come from abroad.
Not only Xiaoxi, but a few people here have not heard of it. Look at him together.
Xiaoxi tried to take it literally: "Is it to find a lot of people to invest money together?
Tang Wen put down his glass and said: "Of course not, what you said is called a partnership, but if there are many people, it can easily become illegal fundraising! The biggest difference between crowdfunding and them is that it cannot promise investors any equity or capital returns." ”
"Then someone will play with you? Who will do the money for nothing? Others are not stupid!" Xiaoxi said with a glare.
The return cannot be money, but it can be service experience, physical goods, or the content of the article...... For example, your plan to open a bookstore is very suitable for crowdfunding, the Internet is a good platform now, how much money is needed, and how long do you plan to raise funds. Where the bookstore will be opened, how many books it plans to store, how it will be operated in the future, and so on, all these things will be announced. Of course, it would be better to get a bookstore rendering in advance......"
Crowdfunding has developed in the next few years, and there are many successful examples. Tang Wen directly told Xiaoxi about the set that appeared in the future in advance.
Xiaoxi's confused eyes gradually cleared, as if she had a comprehension, and after digesting it for a while, she raised the wine glass in her hand: "Sounds a little credible! No wonder I can deceive Xiaoyu's beautiful girlfriend! I don't need you to drive in the afternoon anyway, come and go for a ......."
Regarding the suggestion of the bookstore, Tang Wen gave another one, you can make a little space in the bookstore to make a small single room for one or two people to rest, and receive traveling friends.
Xiaoxi also told them some things that they needed to think about on the next road, such as taking the medicine to prevent high reaction in advance, and the altitude on the side of Xiling is not low. When you arrive in Xining, it's best not to live in Dongcheng District, which is too dilapidated and the security is not very good......
Before leaving, he took a lot of photos with Xiaoxi, and Zhou Xiaoyu promised to come to her on the way back. Carrying her and her guitar downstairs to her apartment, several people took the two oxygen bags she gave her and hugged her goodbye.
At this time, it was past three o'clock in the afternoon. Although the fog did not dissipate, it did not affect the high-speed traffic.
According to the guidance of the navigation, I first went out of Lanzhou to the east, and turned several times until half an hour later. The car was just on track and on the high speed.
The scenery on both sides of the road is very monotonous, with some earthy yellow hills. I can't see it clearly even further away, but I heard that on a sunny day, you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
The two cities are more than two hundred kilometers away. The highway was in good condition, although there was a mist shrouded in slow driving, and at seven o'clock in the evening, it entered the lime.
"There are so many ethnic minorities here!" Gu Ya was taking pictures of the street scene with a DV, and saw many locals hurriedly wearing white cloth hats on the road.
I found a hotel in the west of the city and opened two double rooms as usual. After resting for a while, I went out to get ready to visit the night market.
Because it is not the tourist season, this spot should be the time when the night market is busy, but now there are not many people. The streets of the two famous night markets in Xiling are deserted.
I bought a few cups of mellow yogurt, and after driving around several times, I couldn't find the halal restaurant recommended by Xiaoxi before I came.
So I casually found a neat and clean place to eat a bowl of noodles, and looked at the buildings with strong folk colors on the street. Return to the hotel to discuss the itinerary.
"It's a good way to go to Qinghai Lake, how about we get up early tomorrow and go to Haiqing Lake to see the sunrise?" Gu Ya raised the map in his hand. The face was excited.
Starting from Xiling, it is considered to have officially entered the itinerary of the Qinghai-Tibet line. Gu Ya's proposal was no problem, and everyone decided to go to bed early today, and get up early tomorrow and drive more than 100 kilometers to Haiqing Lake to watch the sunrise......
"Why are you two men slower than us? Instant noodles are ready, come and eat them!"
When I came back last night, I bought some beef buns, and the two girls uningeniously warmed up the water vapor when they boiled the water in an electric kettle. I made a few buckets of instant noodles and put some ham and dried tofu in it, which was considered a good breakfast.
It was still very dark, and when I checked out, the attendant who was dozing off at the front desk rubbed his sleepy eyes and kindly reminded him: The weather forecast is heavy snow today, and the driving should be safe.
The fog only rises in the early morning. It's not past four o'clock in the night, and there are clouds in the sky and no stars in sight, but the view is not bad.
Tang Wen drove the car, the highway was dark, and there was not a single ghost. The other three were well fed, got in the car, and were sleepy again. He drove the car a little faster, galloped all the way, and it took almost two hours to come to the Sand Island Scenic Area by Haiqing Lake.
Haiqing Lake is the largest lake in China, and the mythical and legendary West Sea is here.
"Damn, why is it so windy!" Tang Wen turned on the lights in the car to wake them up, and Zhuang Si pushed the door down to make it easier. A crack in the door had just been opened, and the cold wind poured in. Everyone shuddered.
The reputation of the Sand Island Scenic Area has always been good, but they came too early, and the winter is the off-season, and the lake has entered the frozen period. Many water sports have long since stopped. So I can only wait to see the sunrise.
Because of the westerly region, sunrise and sunset come a little later. It's almost exactly one time zone away from the imperial capital.
Zhuang Si ran back to the car trembling, opened the thermos he brought with him, poured a cup of hot water and drank it before he eased up: "It's minus 10 degrees outside! I see let's wait for the sunrise in the car!"
The whistling wind blew from the lake, and no one had the heart to get out of the car. Zhou Xiaoyu simply took out a small kettle that drew electricity from the cigarette lighter of the car to make water and coffee.
Each of the four people can only divide half a cup at a time, and a pot of water is gone.
After waiting for almost an hour, the effect of coffee was gone, and when everyone was drowsy, a Tibetan uncle who came by riding a motorcycle stopped and knocked on the glass, and the stiff Chinese and the cold wind poured in together: "Don't stay here anymore! It's going to snow heavily here...... After speaking, without waiting for a few people to thank him, he rode his motorcycle along the road around the lake.
