Chapter 203: It's all the moon's fault
In December, the number of visitors has dropped again, and even the stargazing house, which had a good occupancy rate last month, has now dropped to about 40%.
There are always some tourists who like novelties who are willing to wrap in thick down jackets and quilts in the stargazing house at night and enjoy the starry sky in a low temperature of minus 15 or 6 degrees.
In winter, Obacuo and even the entire plateau are the best seasons for stargazing.
The thin, transparent air and minimal light pollution of the plateau are unmatched anywhere else in the world.
As long as you can overcome high and low temperatures, then you will be able to enjoy the most beautiful starry sky in the world.
This is definitely not blown. If Molong had been shocked by the starry sky here once when they first came to the plateau, then when they looked at the stars again in the winter night, they were not only shocked, but dumbfounded.
In fact, not only the stars, but even the moon are surprisingly bright!
Lao Liu's first team building activity was on December 11, and when they returned to the inn to happily eat and drink, they heard the big dog barking outside.
It turned out that during the meal, Xie Feng said that a screw on the stove in the back kitchen was loose, so the big dog, who had almost drunk a bottle of liquor, had to fix it immediately. He went to Tian Peng's shop to get a screwdriver, but not long after he went out, everyone was alarmed by his ghost crying wolf howl.
A group of people ran to the backyard in a panic, and saw the big dog wearing a sweatshirt in the yard looking up at the sky stupidly.
Lao Liu and the others thought that the big dog saw the UFO, and they all looked up at the sky, and then they saw the bright moon that can't be described with adjectives!
The moon is not very big, but it is extremely bright! To put it bluntly, Lao Liu has never seen such a bright moon in his life since he was a child.
With the bright moon shining high and the moon like a jade plate, it is impossible to describe the moon tonight, just such a bright moon, Lao Liu can only think of an idiom to describe - the moon is as bright as day!
In the past, Liu Moang always felt that this idiom was a bit exaggerated, how could the moon shine on the effect of the sun no matter how bright it was?
But tonight, Liu Moang finally understood the true meaning of this idiom!
The white moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and everyone's shadows were extremely clear, although not as clear as the shadows of the sun, but not much worse. Let's just put it this way, tonight's moon is like the sun has added a layer of filter, and after filtering out the seven colors, the light is white and bright!
What, that's probably how Bai Yueguang came from......
Even Tashi Dawa and his fellow Tibetans were stunned by the bright moonlight. From their expressions, it can be seen that even if they are native Tibetans, it is estimated that the number of times they have seen this super bright moon is not much.
After standing in the backyard for a while, a group of people froze back. But the gang had drunk, and with excitement they put on their clothes one by one, and they didn't even eat most of their meals, locked the door, and went straight to the stargazing house to the north.
Such a good moon, if you don't appreciate it well, it will be a tyrannical thing.
Even the eldest Molong, who had never seen such a bright moon in his forties, had never seen such a bright moon in his forties.
When they walked out of the inn, they found that today's moonlight was simply too beautiful.
The cold white moonlight sprinkled on the earth, sprinkled on the distant Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, making everything so hazy. Even they can see Nianqing Tanggula Peak more than ten kilometers away!
You can imagine how bright this moonlight is!
The white lion took the steamed buns to spread joy on the grass, but the dumplings did not come out. The golden eagle is not a nocturnal bird, and even though the moonlight is extremely bright today, it is still a little lacking for dumplings.
A group of people came to the starry sky house with a smile, and found that almost all the tourists in the starry sky house did not sleep, they were all standing or sitting looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
Such a super bright moon is also extremely rare for them.
It is said that it is difficult to see the stars in the sky with such a bright moonlight, but in the plateau, it is common for the stars and the moon to shine.
Take the moonlight tonight as an example, if you were in the plains, you would basically not be able to see any other stars except for the few bright stars that were ranked in the top spots of the day. (PS: Anyway, our Dadongshan is basically like this, no way, haze head hard work...... )
But on the plateau, the air is so permeable that in such a bright moonlight, bright stars such as Venus, Sirius, and Betelgeuse still hang in the sky like a small light bulb, and some other bright stars can also be seen, and even the Milky Way can be faintly visible.
Of course, the light of these stars could not compete with the moon, and it seemed much dimmer than usual in such a bright moonlight.
However, this kind of grand scene of stars and moon is rare in many developed coastal areas.
Chu Qian lowered her head and checked her mobile phone and said with a smile: "No wonder the moon is so bright today, it turns out that today is the sixteenth day of November on the lunar calendar, and the sixteenth round moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar." Let's come out for a barbecue in the middle of the night today, isn't it all the moon's fault......"
The crowd laughed in unison.
Near the starry sky house, there is a prefabricated house with an insulated layer, and two villagers from Obacuo live in it.
These two villagers are on duty at night, and as long as there are tourists staying in the Starry Sky House, the village will arrange two people to be on duty at night in case anything happens to the tourists.
Seeing that the owner of the inn was coming, these two Tibetan men also came out to greet Lao Liu and them warmly.
They know each other very well, and from the smell of alcohol on their bodies, you can tell that these two people are probably drinking in the house.
Seeing such a group of people, the doors of many stargazing houses were opened, and some tourists came out to find that it was the owner and the people from the inn, and they were also happy.
A man who looked to be in his thirties smiled and asked Lao Liu: "Boss Liu, you are on the plateau all year round, you can see this kind of moonscape every month, right? Why are you also attracted to it?"
Lao Liu smiled: "I have never seen such a beautiful moon." Not to mention me, many local Tibetans in the inn rarely see such a bright moonlight. ”
Hearing that Boss Liu communicated with the man, those tourists who were watching the stars also came out of the starry sky house one after another, and came over one by one to discuss today's moon together.
Although it was cold tonight, there was no wind, and everyone was dressed quite thickly, so there was no problem standing here to communicate.
However, the questions raised by these tourists are also strange, and some even suggest that Lao Liu should better heat the equipment on the starry sky house next year, and it is indeed a little cold at night here.
Seeing that everyone was very happy, and the drink just now was not very enjoyable, Lao Liu proposed: "Why don't you have a bonfire party tonight?"
Lao Liu's proposal immediately made a group of people respond with a bang.
The turf on this side of the Starry Sky House has long been removed, and the open space between the Starry Sky House and the Starry Sky House is paved with small pebbles. Plus there's no wind tonight, so it's absolutely fine to light a campfire here.
Since everyone's interest is so high, Lao Liu waved his hand, "Let's go, go back to the inn to get the guys, uncle, I remember that there seems to be some firewood in the boiler room in the backyard, right?"
"Yes, there are quite a few. Every day, the kitchen has to use firewood to light the fire, and when I went to Nikko City to buy two days ago, I just bought half a car. ”
"Okay, go back and drive, bring over the firewood, the guys' business, meat, vegetable seasonings, everything, we won't get drunk tonight!"
So the group of people who had just come came went back again, fortunately it was not far from the inn, and it was only a matter of a few minutes to walk.
There is no shortage of barbecue guys in the inn, Lao Liu, Big Dog, Tian Peng and Mo Long are all people who like to eat barbecue, and other waiters and these people in the back kitchen also like to eat barbecue, so the inn will roast some mutton and beef every once in a while, if you go to Dongga Market to buy seafood one day, then there is also seafood barbecue.
In this kind of thing, Lao Liu never deducts the rope, the inn makes money, and a lot of money, so there is no need to deduct from the employees. There are a total of eighteen people in the inn, how many things can you eat in one barbecue?
The cattle and sheep are all ready-made, and the price is cheap. There is no fresh beef and mutton that sells thirty or forty pounds in the market, because the beef and mutton in the inn are all purchased directly from the villagers of Obacuo.
A two-year-old yak live cow costs only 5,000 yuan, and after slaughtering, the beef is only 167 yuan a catty, which is half cheaper than the market.
That's the advantage of the inn.
There is no shortage of money in the inn, and there is no shortage of beef and mutton.
It didn't take much effort for the Thunder Dragon and the Great Wall Cannon to drive over, and the back bucket of the Great Wall Cannon and the trunk of the Thunder Dragon were full of guys, ingredients, and firewood.
The blazing bonfire quickly burned, and the place chosen for the bonfire was in the center of the Starry Sky House, and there was no grass within more than 20 meters of the perimeter, so you could safely light the bonfire.
The carbon box for barbecue was also set up, and Tian Peng even took the two shelves in his car repair shop, and also brought a finger-thick steel drill......
The beef and mutton are cut quickly, and everyone can wear hundreds of skewers in ten minutes.
The beef and mutton here are all naturally raised, without any artificial feed. Therefore, the meat is extremely tender, and there is no need to marinate it at all, just roast it directly after wearing it.
And the most eye-catching is the Dexie Maiduo. This is already a mother of two children and the oldest waitress in the inn, and she is the main force of roasting whole sheep.
A slaughtered sheep is pierced from head to tail with a steel drill directly above a square charcoal basin filled with a lot of burnt fruit charcoal. Then gently turn the steel drill, and the sheep will follow suit.
Before, Lao Liu didn't know that Dexie Maiduo still had this skill, but last month, when Tian Peng said that he would roast a whole sheep for everyone to improve, Dexie Maiduo showed his hand, and everyone was shocked.
Her roasting whole sheep technique is very authentic, and with the roast with a Tibetan knife to the next slice of meat, the meat that is sliced down is called a charred outside and tender inside, and the grilling heat is just right. Dip it in green salt and chili noodles, and the taste is just one word - great!
There were sixteen or seventeen tourists staying in the Starry Sky House tonight, all of whom gathered around the bonfire at this time, drinking drinks and eating fragrant barbecue, and then looking up at the stars and moon in the sky.
It's the two brothers and sisters who are suffering from the white lion and steamed buns, these two guys know that they can't go to crowded places, so they can only stay in the distance and watch the fragrant barbecue flow......
