Chapter 16: Exoticism

Glancing at the battered Qian Gang, Yang Zi chuckled and sarcastically said a few words to the other party, then parked the car to the side and exchanged driving positions with the other party.

He was going to contact the owner of the fishing tackle shop in Fujian Province and buy a few more sturdy fishing rods and fishing rigs from the other party to cope with the next mission objectives.

dialed a phone call, and the boss Wu didn't remember who it was for a while.

It wasn't until Yang Zi reminded him a few words that he suddenly said hello.

Yang Zi briefly explained his intention to the other party, and learned that he was going to fish for such a big target fish, and the boss surnamed Wu said that there was no problem after thinking about it for a while.

However, he doesn't have this fishing gear here for the time being, and he needs to wait another day to get his hands on it.

Yang Zi calculated the time and found that it was still too late, so he directly asked about the approximate price and paid the deposit.

Both parties will determine the delivery address and time, and then complete the transaction simply and happily.

After more than a day of hurrying, they soon approached their gathering place this time, Xishuangbanna Autonomous Prefecture.

Speaking of Xishuangbanna, Yang Zi still remembers mentioning it in his textbooks when he was a child. At that time, he felt that this was a very beautiful place to aspire to.

really rushed here, but Yang Zi and the others felt a little hot and humid.

Accustomed to the cool climate of Kunming Dali, several people seemed to suddenly come to the rainy and unstoppable tropical rainforest.

This feeling of dampness and heat is not the dry heat of the home, but the uncomfortable feeling of being sticky all over.

This kind of environment is very shocking to the excitement of a carload of people, originally Yang Zi looked at the appointment time is still early, and plans to go to a few scenic spots here, but now he has completely lost this idea.

rushed all the way to Mengla County, and after contacting Zhang Jiao and them, everyone quickly met at a hotel here.

Zhang Jiao and the three of them have been preparing here for more than a day, and they have already prepared the luggage equipment and vehicles.

Just wait for the personnel and Yang Zi's fishing tackle to arrive, and they can be ready to set off at any time.

However, due to the delay of the express delivery, the fishing tackle ordered by Yang Zi was only delivered here on the fourth day they arrived in Mengla.

In the middle of a few days of waiting, Yang Zi and everyone wandered around some nearby attractions.

Although the weather is not very comfortable, in fact, there are still many beautiful attractions in Xishuangbanna.

In particular, the flowers here are in full bloom, and there are unexpected surprises almost everywhere, which gives some comfort to the people waiting for the fishing tackle.

Until the fourth day, after the courier company received the package, they couldn't wait one by one and began to cross the border of China and Laos, running all the way according to the agreed route.

Because of the task, Yang Zi and his party did not delay too much along the way, after all, they had been delayed for a few days in Mengla.

They passed through Muang Sai and Beiwu in Laos, and then arrived at the more famous Luang Prabang.

It is a quaint and beautiful mountain town, and it is also a Buddhist holy place on this side of Laos.

Originally, the group had planned to stay here for a short time and then rush to nearby Vang Vieng to rest.

As a result, they walked around the city, and the beautiful environment and peaceful atmosphere here made their "investigation team" unable to resist the temptation and stayed here that night.

Putting down the luggage at the hotel where she was staying, parking the car, Qiaoqiao, a snack seller, asked Zhang Jiao for some exchanged foreign currency, and couldn't wait to pull Yang Zi to take her to the street to find food.

The two of them ate all the way from the roadside rice cakes, and tasted all the egg cakes, chicken feet, charcoal-grilled moss, etc., and some local specialties.

When he went abroad, Yang Zi instantly realized the importance of foreign languages.

He didn't remember a few English words, and it was very difficult for him to communicate with people here.

Fortunately, Qiaoqiao's learning is not comparable to his scumbag, and this trip down the street shows off a good hand of English in front of Yang Zi.

The funniest thing is Qian Gang, this product is also a college student, but when he was shopping, he was scolded by a foreigner and said a word of English, and he didn't understand a word.

When Li Yan covered her mouth and snickered and took the other party's camera, she realized that she was asking him to help take pictures.

Maybe it's not very suitable for just going abroad, Yang Zi and the foreigners they saw when they went out can feel the enthusiasm of the Chinese people far beyond each other.

From their smiling eyes, it is easy to see each other's happiness and infect themselves.

Everyone spread out in this small town, and after a long walk around happily, they returned to the hotel to start the evening dinner.

The place for the dinner was a restaurant not far from the market, which was one of the few air-conditioned restaurants they had found.

Because of the hot climate here, if you don't eat with the air conditioner, everyone feels like they don't have much appetite.

Sitting down together, Yang Zi opened the menu, and all the eyes were English names.

He glanced up and down, and found that the only thing he could recognize was fish and apple juice, and then the Arabic numerals at the back.

Rolling his eyes, Yang Zi handed over the menu to Qiaoqiao in a playful manner, and then began to discuss tomorrow's schedule with everyone.

Their destination tomorrow is Nam Oh Lake, not far from Luang Prabang.

This largest lake in Laos is also known as Lao Lake by the local people.

It is the largest man-made lake in the Mekong sub-basin, and the water surface is very open, and the scenery is also extremely charming.

Yang Zi plans to spend two days fishing in this lake.

The locals here have caught the Mekong giant catfish in the lake.

In recent years, however, due to the government's ban and increased awareness among fishermen, there has been no such news.

But the existence of such giant catfish in these waters is an irrefutable fact.

The only regret is that the TV station did not give them a local who is familiar with the environment as a guide.

Therefore, everyone can only go to the lake tomorrow, and then choose the method and place of fishing according to the situation.

There was no word to talk about, and the waiter in the restaurant gradually brought the dishes that Qiaoqiao ordered to the table one by one.

Many of these dishes have never been seen by Yang Zi, and the others are basically the same.

Except for a few barbecued meats and fish that are relatively normal, everything else looks a little weird.

Especially a kind of food wrapped in zongzi leaves, at first I thought it was zongzi, but it turned out that it was indeed meat when I opened it.

But fortunately, although I don't look very used to it, the taste of these dishes is still great.

Everyone filled their stomachs to their heart's content, and then went back to the hotel to spend the first day of the trip.
