Chapter Forty-Nine: The Taste Was Particularly Sour
No one knows how much of the driver's words are true, and how much is bragging.
But even if it's half empty, I can't stand it!
Now I am walking on a mountain road, which is winding, it is dark, and the road conditions are not good, and it is still raining sleet outside.
At this time, he happened to arrive at a place, Gu Bei saw a few houses on the side of the road, which looked like a small village, and hurriedly shouted to stop.
"Director Yang, Brother Li and I will go down and have a look, and think of other ways."
It's a thought to find someone to repair the car in this kind of place, but what Gu Bei thinks about is to see if you can buy a portable lamp or something, hang it in front of the car, and have a light on it.
If you really can't do it, ask the people in the village if you can stay here for one night, although the conditions are a little worse, but it is better than rolling mountain streams.
"Go ahead, you two pay attention."
Gu Bei agreed, got out of the car with Li Chengru, and didn't go far when he saw a supply and marketing cooperative in front of him.
But now it's dark, and the supply and marketing cooperatives have closed their doors, and the lights are dark inside.
"What should I do?"
"What else can I do?"
Li Chengru stepped forward directly as he spoke, slamming the door, and when Gu Bei saw this, he also hurriedly stepped forward to follow.
Now is not the time to be civilized and polite.
I finally opened the door, talked for a while, and finally bought two flashlights from the sleepy-eyed salesman.
Although this little bit of light is not very useful, it is better than nothing, at least it can be a peace of mind.
The car restarted, Gu Bei and Li Chengru on one side, holding a flashlight in their hands and driving forward on the road.
However, how bright the flashlight can be, you can't see it in front at all.
Li Chengru still had a way, and proposed to use a flashlight to shine on the trees on both sides of the road, because the trunk has a protective layer of white plaster brushes, which is easy to identify.
Even on this dark winding mountain road, under the faint light of the swaying and leisurely, the driver still drove extremely fast, and he did not show his skills, swore not to give up, did not slow down when turning, and even overtook the large truck that had supported them with gasoline in the middle.
A group of people were even frightened and frozen, and no one dared to speak.
Knowing that persuasion is useless, the driver is clearly a screwing mourner, talking too much, and it is easy to distract him.
The speed is getting faster and faster, and when he reaches the proud place, Gu Bei can still hear the laughter of the driver.
For a while, he suddenly had a feeling of being in a horror movie, this driving is a demon, if he turns around at this time, he will definitely see a hideous face.
It was like a nightmare, and when Gu Bei saw the bright light not far ahead, he knew that it was finally over.
Finally, I got to the destination of this trip - Huangshan Hotel.
Looking at the time, it was already past eight o'clock.
After getting out of the car, everyone was shocked for a while, and then they felt hungry, and they didn't fight for most of the day, and they had been busy fighting with the driver, so they didn't care about it at all.
Gu Bei was also hungry enough, so he hurriedly went to the waiter at the hotel and asked the other party to make something to eat.
But now is not the tourist season, because there are no guests in the kitchen, it has already left work, and when I finally called the master and asked him to eat, people are still impatient.
"There's nothing in the kitchen, and the food hasn't been delivered yet, so it's a little bit of noodles."
"Noodles are good, noodles are good!"
A group of people have long been hungry for a long time, so how can they take care of the good luck, it would be good to have something to eat.
When the hot noodles were served, Gu Bei and the others really felt so happy,
While they were eating, the big truck that followed them also arrived.
The truck driver entered the cafeteria, and as soon as they saw Gu Bei, they shouted loudly: "Oops! You guys...... It's too dangerous, I followed behind, and I saw that you were so small a bright light, and you were running fast, such a dangerous winding mountain road, and it was still dark, I was sweating for you, you ...... You really dare to open it! ”
If the driver who sent them up was also here, Gu Bei decided to take out the reckless goods and sacrifice them.
Teacher Wang Chongqiu also teased: "Yes! Our driver is experienced, not afraid of death, dare to drive, and we are with him! ”
After eating the noodles, a group of people cleaned up and went to sleep, and the toss along the way was physically and mentally exhausted.
The next morning, the snow had not stopped, and although it was not big, it was already silvery white outside.
Gu Bei and Li Chengru went to the people from the management office to study the matter of going up the mountain.
"This ghost weather, you still have to go up the mountain, how can you wait for the snow to stop, if you have to go, the front mountain will definitely not be able to climb, the mountain road is long and steep, and it is more difficult to walk in the snow, if you go back to the mountain, you can use a car to send you to the halfway up the mountain, and you have to climb up the rest of the road yourself."
After understanding, Gu Bei went to report to Director Yang Jie, and after a group of people discussed, they decided to go back to the mountain.
The first half of the road was very smooth, and the car quickly reached the halfway up the mountain, and then it was impossible to drive up, and the group got out of the car, ready to climb the mountain in good spirits.
These people are either natives of the capital, or they have settled in the capital all the year round, and the mountains they have climbed are Xiangshan and Xishan, and no one has ever climbed a really decent mountain.
Although the Yellow Mountain is not ranked among the five mountains, it is also a famous mountain in the world, and this time there is a chance to climb it in person, and the excitement in everyone's heart can be imagined.
However, Huangshan soon let the group know how powerful it was.
At first, everyone's interest was high, but gradually only the sound of snoring could be heard.
The mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was covered with a layer of snow, and after a while, the shoes were wet, and the further up I walked, the clothes were also soaked, and the body felt heavier and heavier.
"Xiao Gu, the people in the management office said that there are still seven or eight miles left?"
Yang Jie was already so tired that she used her hands and feet together, but fortunately, there were two young people in the team, Gu Bei and Li Chengru, who were in a difficult place to walk, and the two of them supported and dragged them to reduce the physical consumption of the old lady.
"That's what people say, but why do I think we've walked more than seven or eight miles?"
Looking up at it, Gu Bei was also wondering in his heart, seven or eight miles away, why is it so far?
It feels like there's no end to it.
Not to mention that Director Yang Jie is so old, even Gu Bei, a young and strong young man, feels that his legs are getting heavier and heavier at this moment.
The snow on both sides didn't bother at all, only the snorting and panting.
I wanted to take a break, but there was no place to sit, and there was snow everywhere.
Look at everyone again, no one is easy.
Especially the lighting engineer Sun Yongsheng, who is in his fifties and has a relatively fat body, is even snoring and panting at the moment, which is no better than director Yang Jie.
Wang Chongqiu walked at the end, taking pictures while walking, this is what Gu Bei mentioned before, to leave the image data of the scene.
Finally at noon, the group arrived at the destination - Beihai Hotel,
Unexpectedly, the hotel was empty, with no guests and no waiters.
When Gu Bei and Li Chengru finally found the person in charge of the hotel, they were still very surprised that they came up the mountain at this time.
"Why did you come to Huangshan at this time?"
The situation was introduced in detail, and the person in charge opened the room, but what about the food?
The person in charge told Gu Bei that it was the off-season, and there were no guests on the mountain, so no guest meals were prepared.
Forget if you don't have anything to eat, Gu Bei and they walked all the way, they were wet, there was no heating in the hotel, and it was cold everywhere.
Everyone was so cold that they stomped their feet and rubbed their hands, and the person in charge was a little upset when he saw it.
"That's it, find a charcoal basin later, there is still some charcoal in the kitchen, you bake it, take a few steamed buns, you will eat a little, pad your stomach!"
This was a bonus, I thought I was going to be hungry today.
Everyone expressed their gratitude to the person in charge for such an arrangement.
Gu Bei and Li Chengru followed the person in charge to rummage for a long time, and finally found a large charcoal basin, and went to the kitchen to get some charcoal.
Usually when he is at home, Gu Bei often makes a stove, although it is different from a charcoal basin, but after tossing for a while, it is still lit, and the charcoal fire will burn vigorously after a while.
A group of people sat around and quickly took off their soaked shoes and socks to roast by the brazier.
At this time, the person in charge also sent the steamed buns, which were cold in his hands, and just happened to bake the steamed bread slices on the brazier.
It's a pity that there are no vegetables, and I can't swallow just chewing steamed buns!
What can I do?
"Mr. Sun, I remember when you were in Nanjing, you bought a can of stinky tofu, do you still have it?"
Hearing Gu Bei ask, Sun Yongsheng also remembered, quickly got up, ran back to the room barefoot, and came back with a can of stinky tofu after a while, not only stinky tofu, but also the pickles left over from the previous meal.
"Thankfully, fortunately, there's still half a jar left!"
When the lid was lifted, an indescribable smell spread, but at this moment, no one felt that it smelled, and the smell was ......
It smells so good!
Attack it in groups.
This is good, the stinky shoes and stinky socks are roasted on the charcoal basin, accompanied by the smell of stinky tofu, and the fragrance of roasted steamed bread slices, you can imagine what kind of strange taste is mixed together.
The person in charge only accompanied him for half a minute, and then found an excuse to run away, and if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that he would have to explain directly here.
Gu Bei and they couldn't take care of so much, they came all the way, they were tired and hungry, it would be good to have a stutter, so they ate roasted steamed buns with this sour taste, which didn't affect their appetite at all.
Isn't there such a saying?
When you are hungry, eating bran is as sweet as honey, and when you are full, eating honey is not sweet.
Not to mention that there are still mouthfuls to eat, now I really bring them a bowl of bran, and these people can swallow it without blinking their eyes.
Recalling the picky bears he had encountered in his previous life, Gu Bei felt that he should really bring them over to experience it, having such an experience, keeping them eat everything delicious.
"Hey! It's on, it's on! ”
While eating, Gu Bei suddenly smelled a burning smell, and as soon as he looked down, he saw that Li Chengru's socks were not very good, and they fell into the charcoal basin, first a puff of smoke, then a raging fire, and in the blink of an eye, only half of it was left.
"It's good, be a neck sleeve!"
Burst......
The stinky tofu that Peng Li just put in her mouth was directly sprayed out with steamed bread crumbs.
Looking at Director Yang Jie again, she is still serious.
Old lady, I didn't expect you to be so skinny!
