Chapter 168: Avatar
In other words, this is probably the difference between a mature man and a young boy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć The average young man took a woman on the road, eager to drive the car as an airplane to show off his manly spirit. But mature men are different, they will find ways to keep the woman next to them from any frightening and keep her safe.
As for what women think, it depends on their own life experiences and preferences. Some women prefer that thrilling lifestyle, while others prefer a stable and warm life, and the same woman may like different lifestyles at different times.
is like Xue Yuying, who used to think elopement was very romantic, but it has only been a long time, and she has already regretted it. There are some things that you can't really feel if you haven't experienced them, and the easier it is to be confused by superficial phenomena.
It is said that Xie Bin and Chen Minhan went straight to Hotan together, and they were not in a hurry, they rested when they were sleepy, and ate when they were hungry, and they really seemed to come out for their honeymoon, and naturally they would not shy away from anything when they slew, they were completely like a young couple, and they didn't know how many passers-by were envious.
But after all, it was a hurry, and I thought it was fun at first, looking at the scenery on the road I felt very strange, Chen Minhan also let go of his xingzi, and when he saw something fun and good-looking, he had to take pictures and share them with Xie Bin, and when he was resting, he uploaded it to his Weibo, and he also attracted a lot of fans.
After Chang'an and Haiqing Province, the scenery on this road has changed, there is a vast desert everywhere, and there is a faint white mountain, which is said to be a snow-capped mountain. At this time, it is already relatively warm in the island city, but it is still very cold in the northwest, and there is a heavy snow from time to time.
However, what reassures Xie Bin is that the road to Hotan is in better condition, there are many vehicles on the road, and you can directly reach Hotan after Xining on the 315 National Highway, although the road is longer, but as long as you drive carefully, there is no danger. This is also the reason why Xie Bin dared to go to Hotan at this time, if it were changed to other places, Xie Bin would not take this risk, especially with Chen Minhan.
After passing through Xining, you can often see a large area of the Gobi Desert and snowflakes flying in the sky, as well as all kinds of vehicles, mostly large trucks, often hundreds of kilometers without a trace of people, let alone any hotels and guesthouses.
After getting on National Highway 315, Xie Bin and Chen Minhan ate and drank all the dry food and drinking water prepared in the car. Along the way, they also rested for a while in the few places of Dachaidan, Lao Mangya, Ruoqiang, and Minfeng, otherwise Xie Bin and Chen Minhan would have to collapse.
Chen Minhan has long lost the interest in taking pictures, and has a ride to accompany Xie Bin to relieve his boredom.
And Xie Bin also secretly called it a fluke, fortunately he came with Chen Minhan, otherwise wouldn't he be bored to death along the way? The last time I drove a long-distance bus was with Chen Jianjun and them to Lijiang, but there were people everywhere along the way, and I could still play around when I was tired, and there were many people, so I didn't feel anything.
But now that Chen Minhan is accompanying Xie Bin, he feels bored to death, this job is really not something ordinary people can do, I don't know how those long-distance car drivers can stand it.
It wasn't until they arrived in Hotan that they found a good-looking hotel to live in that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, took a beautiful mandarin duck bath, made love fiercely, and slept sweetly, then they felt that they were still living in the world, especially after drinking a big bowl of steaming mutton soup, they were even more comfortable.
When he arrived in Hetian, Xie Bin was not in a hurry to buy jade materials, but took Chen Minhan around. Needless to say, this kind of exotic town is still very tasteful. Although Hotan is not a big city, it has become a gathering place for people because of the production of Hetian jade, and merchants, tourists and gold diggers are crowded in this small city.
Don't look at the city is not big, but the infrastructure is quite complete, not to mention hotels and inns, and the airport. If Xie Bin hadn't wanted to run more, he would have come by plane a long time ago.
However, on the streets of Hetian, there are more shops and small vendors selling Hetian jade, and there are really a lot of various jade and jade objects, but the quality is also not high. Xie Bin took a general look, and some of them were on Zou Xintong's procurement level, but the asking price was more ruthless than the other, and these were all the best jade.
In fact, these are just fooling those tourists and laymen who are famous in the future, and those who really play Hetian jade rarely make a move on the street, especially the experts with relatively large demand, and they will not suffer such a loss in this place. Although Xie Bin has never been to Hetian, he also knows this, but he has not touched the way for a while.
Chen Minhan was concerned about Zou Xintong's business, seeing Xie Bin's unhurried demeanor, he pulled his sleeve and asked, "Brother Bin, let's buy enough jade materials for Sister Xintong before playing, don't delay serious business because of me." ā
Xie Bin smiled dumbly, Chen Minhan, the girl, thought that she deliberately put down her business because of her. In fact, Xie Bin was just looking at the situation, if he wanted to play with her, why bother here? The rest of the border province is much more fun than Khotan, so what's the point of playing here. But this can't be said like this, Xie Bin comforted: "Don't worry, it won't delay serious business, don't worry, let's see the situation first." ā
Xie Bin is not unable to find a serious seller, he has a contact person in his hand, and there is a store in Hetian, and the business is not small. In the past, Xie Bin bought the Hetian jade material from him, and that person was introduced to Xie Bin by President Zhou of the Island City Jade Association. It's just that they were contacted by phone before, and they haven't met in person, and they don't know the details of the other party.
Now that he has arrived in Hetian, Xie Bin naturally has to think about it, not to save money, but to find a stable supplier. First, to expand the scope of business in tasting, the amount of Hetian jade must be greatly increased. To find a stable supplier, one is that the price is negotiable, and the other is that the quality of the jade material is guaranteed.
After a day on the street, Xie Bin took Chen Minhan to eat a national meal, especially roast mutton, the taste was really amazing, better than what Xie Bin had eaten before, I don't know how far, even Chen Minhan ate a large piece of boiled mutton.
This boiled mutton is boiled without any condiments, and after cooking, it is cut and dipped in salt to eat, and it is completely fresh and refreshing to eat the original mutton, and the more you eat, the more fragrant and beautiful it is. But then again, this is the only way to eat such authentic boiled lamb in this place, one because of the food style, and the other because there are such lambs in this place.
In the mainland, it is too difficult to find such a freshly slaughtered lamb, even if you find it in the countryside, the mutton does not have the taste here, it always tastes a little worse, and the price is still expensive.
As for the barbecue in the mainland, I really don't dare to eat it without a certain psychological capacity, who knows how much of the mutton there is real, and how much of it is processed by dead mice, cats, foxes and other animals. Such problems have been exposed many times, but the profits are so high that there are always some people who take risks.
But here it's different, eating at ease and looking comfortable. If there are three or five friends gathered here, it will be cool, and the real big piece of meat and big bowl of wine, I think this kind of life has been dreamed of by many people.
Back at the hotel, Xie Bin turned on the computer and connected to the Internet, ran to the group of several buckles he added, and looked at the messages, most of them were who got a piece of material for identification, or found someone to help carve it, or advertised to sell all kinds of jade materials.
Don't look at the advertisements in this group are a bit annoying, but now many merchants are expected to run their own businesses on the Internet, and the trading is quite good, and some reputable stores are more profitable than physical stores.
The little Hetian jade material that Xie Bin bought last time was the goods he saw on the Internet after contacting the seller by phone, and then mailed it by courier. In other words, this express delivery is really a great invention of modern life, if there is no industry, many people don't know what to do.
In the past few years, the express delivery industry has been mixed, and the parcel is delayed, expired, damaged, or even lost or dropped, which is very uneasy. But after the working emperor unified the express delivery industry, his reputation was much better, and there was rarely any more chaos before, otherwise Xie Bin would not dare to mail such valuable items, and once he lost it, he would not find anyone to compensate.
Xie Bin looked in the buckle group and found the group leader of the "No. 103 Hetian Yu Discussion Group", the nickname of the group owner is also interesting, called Avatar, which can be regarded as the result of the combination of Avatar and Avanti.
This Avatar is a dragon-like figure in the group, and he has a very thorough understanding of Hetian jade, and it is absolutely right for ordinary people to ask him any questions, and from time to time he takes out a few pieces of Hetian jade materials to auction in the group, and also advertises his online store.
Xie Bin and this Avatar are both veterans in the group, but Avatar focuses on the understanding of raw materials, while Xie Bin is better at appreciating and pricing finished products.
Xie Bin came out with this Uyghur brother at this time, naturally it was not to reminisce about the past, he remembered that Avatar once said that he himself was from Hetian, and invited Xie Bin to play in Hetian. It's just that Xie Bin didn't have this mind at that time, so he didn't take it to heart.
But at this time, it can come in handy, Xie Bin secretly thought, hoping that this Avatar would not disappoint him. It is said that some people are high-spirited on the Internet, and they are unparalleled and heroic, but in reality, they are diametrically opposite people, and such a situation is not uncommon.
But the next day, when Xie Bin took Chen Minhan to the hotel where he had made an appointment with the Avatar, he almost bit his tongue. Avatar, who has such a playful nickname, turned out to be a delicate big girl, with the unique exotic style of the Uyghur sisters. (To be continued.) )
