Chapter Forty-Eight: The Greatest Test?

Bidding farewell to the beautiful and terrifying, romantic and cruel Hoh Xili, the X164 train gradually increased its speed and plunged into the Kunlun Mountains, which are the total of the Chinese dragon veins and span a full 2,500 kilometers from east to west.

Before crossing the Kunlun Mountains, it will be the last time for passengers to feel the kindness and gentleness of the Tibetan Plateau.

The Kunlun Mountains, also known as Kunlun Xu, are spitting clouds and mist into the air, and then tearing the clouds and mist apart with a pair of invisible hands and throwing them on the ground... So these clouds and mist turned into snow-white sheep, like stars in the sky in the green pasture.

The Gesang flowers in August are in full bloom, and there are only three colors of red, pink and white, but when they are dotted in the green grassland, this land suddenly becomes a fairy tale world, which can most arouse the hearts of female passengers.

Legend has it that the Tibetans are descendants of macaques and witches, so before the birth of the great King Gesar, it was the demon kingdom that ruled this vast land, and the Tibetan land at that time was shrouded in darkness all year round.

When the great King Gesar came into this world, red Gesang flowers grew wherever he walked, and the warm red rays quickly pierced the dark clouds;

Where he sits, pink Gesang flowers grow, and humans and animals come to worship;

Where he fought, white Gesang flowers grew, and wherever they extended, the demon soldiers would collapse......

Gesang flowers represent infinite vitality. Where there are Gesang flowers, there is surging life and hope, so when passengers see this beautiful Gesang flower grassland, even the discomfort caused by high reaction seems to be alleviated a lot.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long... As the train roared past this beautiful grassland, the Jade Everest Peak, which shimmered with white holy light in the northern sky, gradually disappeared from the sight of the passengers.

The ground under their feet is still rising, the altitude has risen to more than 5,000 meters, the blue sky is gone, there is no longer a white cloud, the passengers raise their heads and desperately search, only to see a gray world.

At the last moment, it was still blue sky and white clouds, the grass was green, and the beautiful Gesang flower fields made people linger; At this moment, the face suddenly changed, and there were palm-sized snow flakes that smashed down on the head and face between breaths.

There was a series of 'crackling' noises from the car windows, and countless hailstones the size of ping-pong balls were scrambling outside the car windows.

Looking out of the window, the passengers found that their vision was less than 20 meters, and only the green body could give them a sense of security.

Luckily, we were on a train with air conditioning and oxygen, and we also had Chef Chow......

Some passengers who once thought about driving the Qinghai-Tibet line are only secretly glad at the moment.

The Five Beams are coming!

Only veteran drivers who travel to and from the Qinghai-Tibet line all year round will understand the horror of Wudaoliang.

This is the demarcation point of the climate transition of the Tibetan Plateau, the ground is high and the weather is cold, the birds are difficult to cross, the weather is impermanent, and the snow flies in summer!

Even in the middle of summer in August, the average temperature in Wudaoliang does not exceed 6 degrees Celsius, and because the soil here is too high in mercury, plants are scarce, and the oxygen content is less than 40% of that of the plains.

This is just a general statistic, and in the unfortunate event of bad weather, the number will be lower.

Cars will be difficult to speed up here because of the lack of oxygen in the engine, and the on-board air conditioning will not be able to run due to the heavy load on the engine, coupled with the perennial ice road......

That's why there is a slang saying on the Qinghai-Tibet line that circulates among old drivers, 'Wudaoliang, the ghost gate is closed, and after the ghost gate is Pingchuan'......

In front of Wudaoliang, even the Tanggula Pass, the highest altitude on the Qinghai-Tibet line, is not terrible.

The X164, which had started its air conditioning at full strength, had significantly reduced its speed, and as it gradually penetrated into this terrifying area, the thickening snow clouds in the sky had completely blocked the daylight, and it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, but the outside of the train had become invisible, and only the snow flakes and hail that kept hitting the windows could enter the passengers' sight.

The oxygen holes in the carriage were already running at maximum power, but the terrifying high still made many passengers from the plains want to die.

Headache, vomiting, chest tightness, dizziness, diarrhea......

The carriage was full of pale passengers covering their mouths, a long queue in front of the toilet door at the junction of the carriages, passengers covering their stomachs and jumping anxiously, and all kinds of strange smells filled the carriage......

Su Rou had already gone to the toilet three times.

Stomach pain is still second, the key is blushing? The lady is no longer a lady at this time, and Mr. Su, who is about to become the second master of Guan, only found that the expensive Chanel sportswear could not hide her embarrassment when she queued up to go to the toilet.

Is Lu Meiqi Nannizi deliberately angry with her? Under such a violent high reaction, this guy actually ate three packets of pickled pepper and phoenix feet in front of her casually, and asked her if she wanted to reserve a seat in the dining car in advance for dinner and eat Chef Zhou's osmanthus again?

When is it and still eating?

Su Rou clutched her stomach and refused the proposal, she decided that even Zhou Zhou's cooking skills would definitely not be able to awaken her taste buds at this time.

In addition to the passengers and able-bodied people who originally lived on the plateau, the conductors who traveled to and from this line all year round were not affected by the high reaction; But the old man Zhang Zhouxuan is more different, he is already sixty-five years old, he is sitting with a golden knife at the moment, watching his apprentice take out the plastic bag from his arms again......

The old man didn't care too much about his apprentice at this time, the 'young man' in his forties should not be afraid of tossing, and it was good to exercise, what he cared about was how Zhouzhou should deal with today's dinner.

The 'osmanthus za' at lunch was very successful, and the guests who had eaten it even strongly demanded that the dinner be continued, but at this time and that time, if the passengers were to be consulted now, I am afraid that more than half of the people would lose their appetite for the 'osmanthus za'.

Under the effect of high reaction, the pork belly ice meat will no longer be super delicious with ice balsam, it will quickly be transformed into an 'emetic'.

The pork liver, which dominates all flavors, will also become unfragrant, and people's taste buds will misjudge the 'indole value' of the food under the influence of high reaction, and in this state, the original fragrant food may become smelly, and the smelly food may become fragrant......

In the past, people who didn't like to eat stinky tofu would fall in love with this once terrifying food because of the wrong judgment of the indole value of the taste buds; The girl who loves durian will firmly think that she has just eaten poop at this time!

In a high-reaction environment, it is really difficult to reconcile, because diners will become ten times more picky!

This is the biggest test for chefs.

If a chef can't adapt to local conditions and people's conditions, and can't satisfy the tastes of the vast majority of diners in any environment, no matter how skilled he is, he can't become a generation of celebrity chefs.

The old man suddenly smiled like an old fox...... Can this kid Zhouzhou bring him some surprises again?
