Chapter 289: A Small Town on an Iceberg
Sure enough, as Lin Feng expected, on the same day, Hao Xiaolei contacted him directly and asked for more orders for accessories. This three major mobile phone dealers played relatively big, and they made a bold move, 10 million sets did not have any hesitation at all, and the 22 billion payment has been received, and he will personally share nearly 8.4 billion profits.
With this money coming in, the Star Silkworm and the garbage collector can be promoted and installed faster.
Looking at the time, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and the shield machine was turning, digging out a U-shaped vent.
Lin Feng looked at the map, his current location was exactly a kilometer away from Basu County, thinking that he had finally come across a place where there were people, he simply got out of the vent, wanting to go around the county town and buy some supplies.
And after 10 days of no training, he felt that his whole body was about to rust, and it was a good thing to go out for a walk.
The three soldiers in charge of liaison who had been following him also came out, all of them fully armed, wearing thick cotton clothes, hats with long hair, black cowhide military boots, and they looked very warm.
After 10 days of getting along, everyone is almost familiar with each other, and the three of them chatted all the way, stepping on the soft snow all the way, and walked towards the small county town in the distance.
Crunch – crunch –
Walking in knee-deep snow is not a comfortable time.
Fortunately, Lin Feng was wearing protective clothing, although it looked thin, the warmth effect was very good, and his body was relatively flexible.
"Aren't you cold?" asked one of the soldiers, "it's minus seven or eight degrees here, and you dare to wear only one piece of clothing." ”
"It's not cold," Lin Feng smiled, spewing out a thick white mist.
Another person joked: "Tong Zigong is not broken yet." ”
Lin Feng suddenly felt embarrassed.
I don't know where the wind blew overhead, whining overhead, surrounded by huge mountains, and in some places, black rocks were exposed.
The river below the mountain has been completely frozen, and the sparse trees outside the county have long been wax and honeysuckle.
It is said to be the county seat, in Lin Feng's opinion, it is smaller than the small town in his hometown, and the houses are relatively low, and some roofs are steaming with white mist, which quickly dissipates in the cold wind.
Outside the county seat, you can see some men who are making young people around an artificial canal, using wooden barrels to fetch water from the broken ice.
"In another half a month, we will only be able to cook snow. One soldier said, "It's not cold enough, the canal is just freezing on the top and there's a little water on the bottom." ”
Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh that the local people's lives were hard, and the water for daily life was so troublesome.
He had heard a lot about this area before, and he had heard that in the early days, these were still mainly grazing places, and there was not much bathing all year round. Even earlier, people washed twice in their lives. Once on the day of birth, and once on the day of death.
At that time, he found it unimaginable, a week without a bath was already a person on the verge of collapse, and he felt that he could almost die if he didn't wash for a lifetime.
But now he understands a little, because in this low-pressure, low-temperature environment, the human body really rarely sweats in order to keep warm.
Now the altitude is just over 3,200 meters, and when it exceeds 4,000 meters, the air pressure will be lower, and it will be very dangerous to sweat easily.
In this way, it is easy to catch a cold, and it is likely to be accompanied by fever, pulmonary edema, and those who are weaker are likely to return to the West.
Walking up to the county seat, I saw only a thin layer of snow on the not spacious streets, and some people drove ox carts to walk on the streets. Shops on both sides of the street are hung with thick wool felt, and glass windows are tightly closed, with advertisements written in Chinese and Tibetan.
"There's nothing to buy here," said the soldier who accompanied him, "and everything in the mall is brought in from below." ”
"Unless you want to buy sheepskin shoulders or cowhide boots, but I swear you wouldn't like them, sheepskin and cowhide are not nitrated, and the smell on them can be smelled from dozens of meters away. ”
Although it was a bit exaggerated, Lin Feng knew that it was true.
He was a little disgusted with the smell of mutton when he ate mutton, so he let him wear the original sheepskin directly on his body, so let's forget it.
"I wanted to buy some game. Lin Feng said.
"I know you want this, come with me. ”
The soldiers familiarly led him into an alley where the shops were all food-oriented, the cold air was thick with the smell of mutton and beef soup, the heat wafted through the narrow windows, and long ice cubes hung under the eaves.
The two soldiers led Lin Feng all the way to the end of the alley, which was a shop selling raw meat, maybe it was the wrong time to come, and the business was relatively cold.
Lin Feng bought two peeled goats, and originally wanted to buy a beef leg, but he still didn't buy it considering the weight problem.
Next door to the lamb shop is the work shop.
Roe deer, yellow sheep, air-dried bison and fritillaria.
Lin Feng likes to eat dried goods, especially the roe deer meat after salt and air drying, boiled in water and cut into cold dishes, the taste is simply more beautiful than anything else.
He bought a few roe deer, a few pieces of dried beef, and a dozen fritillary hens, and then left satisfied.
When he got outside, he went to buy some spices and dried peppers, and as for vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, he didn't need it, just call Jia Xiaoliang and ask him to bring some over.
Carrying a large bag of things, walking around the empty street, Lin Feng saw a newly built school, and the sound of Lang Lang reading came from inside.
Although it was a newly built house, the overall conditions were still very difficult, there was only a basketball hoop and a cement table tennis table on the playground, and the glass of the classroom was also damaged, and the cold wind was pouring into the classroom.
The school has no doormen, not even a gate.
Lin Feng and the three of them put their things in a corner, and then walked around the small school.
When the teacher in the office saw them, he was probably used to outsiders entering, so no one came to ask.
"There are mines in Hachijuku, and they are all mined by engineering troops, so it's common for us to dress up like this. "But the season is already going down, and we won't continue until the snow melts next May." They only have a little more than five months a year. ”
Lin Feng nodded, feeling that it was indeed one side of water and soil, and one side of the world.
This is only more than 800 kilometers away from Rongcheng, and his three views have been completely refreshed.
He had heard about how poor the people in the mountains were and how bad the conditions were, but he had not seen them with his own eyes and had no concrete impression at all.
Now let's walk up once, and I know that not all the rumors are false.
This place is covered with snow and ice for most of the year, and the soil is very poor, and you can't see much green grass, so it's really hard to get rich.
But if a small railway station could be built here, and the cattle and sheep they raised could be trafficked in exchange for all kinds of goods and vegetables, life would be much better.
And to Rongcheng is 800 miles away, the train is up to four or five hours, go to Rongcheng in the morning to catch a set, and you can rush back for dinner in the evening.
That's how important transportation is.
I think life here will gradually change for the better in the future.
Leaving the school, the trio returned the same way with their things on their shoulders, and after putting them down through the straight vents, they slid down with the ropes placed at the opening.
Driving to catch up with the shield machine in front of them, they lit an alcohol stove in an ear hole, boiled water to wash the air-dried roe deer meat, then stuffed it into a pressure cooker, added enough spices and dried chilies, and simmered it vigorously.
Soon the air pressure came up, and the pressure limiting valve of the pressure cooker sprayed steam outward, and gradually the fragrance began to escape.
