Chapter Seventy-Eight: Hiking in Hausen
Raphael is the name of an archangel common to the Juda, Catholic, and Islamic faiths. He is said to be an angel who performs healing spells and performs all miracles of healing.
He is the guardian of the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and one of the seven archangels who stand before the throne of the Lord God. In addition to the archangel and the power angel, Raphael also has the six wings of the Seraph, and at the same time belongs to the three orders of the Angel of Wisdom, the Lord Angel, and the Angel of Energy,... ... He was the most special of all the archangels, and he always appeared as a "happiness bringer", and in addition to healing people's diseases, he also taught Noah the knowledge and skills of building the ark.
... ...
There are so many introductions, because there is now a Raphael standing in front of Yin Jie and Diane Hui.
Of course, this is a living man, not a god.
Mr. Wang of Hengqin Group finally agreed to give up sending finance from China to the business control center that was about to be set up in Haosen Prefecture, and decided to entrust the financial work to a commercial agency recommended by the State Economic Promotion Bureau. As a result, Christoph introduced three reputable agencies to Hengqin Group. After being contacted by Dai Anhui one by one and communicating with Mr. Wang via video, it was determined that there was a company called BMO, and the business manager sent by the company was this Raphael Muller.
Hengqin Group will soon entrust BMO to operate the business registration, bank depository, external publicity, residence permit and other matters of its European business control center. After the completion of the company's registration, BMO will be entrusted to act as an agent for Hengqin's daily financial and tax work, and recruit employees on its behalf in the early stage of the company's establishment.
Raphael was a tall, muscular young man with brown eyes, short black curly hair, and a cleanly shaved beard. He loves to laugh, and when he smiles, he shows his neat and snow-white teeth, which can be used to advertise toothpaste. His way of speaking is very special, not like ordinary business people, but he is always eager and enthusiastic, with sincere eyes, bright smile, but also has a special persuasiveness.
On this day, Raphael brought a folder to Diane, which contained various legal documents for business registration (which need to be brought back to China for signature and seal), a series of documents for applying for taxes, and a power of attorney to entrust BMO with banking, taxation, immigration and other matters,... ...
He explained one information to Dai Anhui one by one, waiting for Yin Jie to finish translating, and he explained that the next one was very funny.
Once the agency was decided, she was left with one last task – renting an apartment. The office location of the new company has been selected, and in a 12-storey office building in the new urban area, water, electricity, telephone, Internet, etc. are complete, and there are special properties for maintenance and repair, which is quite trouble-free. The apartment she chose to rent was not far from Yin Jie's apartment building, which Yin Jie lived at the foot of the mountain, and the apartment building she chose was in the middle of the hillside. It is about a 30-minute walk from this apartment to and from the new office.
The 30-minute walking commuting distance can probably move you to tears in the ears of the people of the imperial capital! Even in Ningbo, this distance can be regarded as a particularly "ideal and convenient" commuting distance. However, in the eyes of the people of S country, it is completely inconceivable to choose such a long commuting distance. As mentioned above, Raphael was furious when he heard the news, insisting that the long commute would likely affect the resident's "well-being at work".
Yin Jie was okay, Dai Anhui was stunned when she heard his words.
Raphael was very enthusiastic about helping her find a better place to work and apartment, and that the distance between them would not exceed a quarter of an hour's walk. Diane refused without thinking about it. What listings are available in the state can be seen at a glance from TH's housing system. The choice now is made after a combination of all the elements and is the most reasonable. So why is there any need to start over?
Because everything is determined to be the weekend, Mr. Wang is particularly humane and agrees that Diane will leave for her back on Sunday. Diane and Yin Jie decided to invite a colleague to go hiking on Saturday, and on Sunday they took a flight from Sulek back to the imperial capital, while Diane flew directly from the imperial capital airport back to Ningbo.
Early Saturday morning, the two went to the weekend market to buy a variety of snacks for breakfast. Then I went to the bus stop to meet Yin Jie's colleague Sophia. Sophia chose a less technically difficult, moderately physical, and not too long hike to take the two of them by bus to the outskirts of Hausen, where they began their hike.
For all those who love the outdoors, Country S is an ideal natural paradise. Here, both the government and the private sector have attached great importance to the protection of the natural environment, and a series of nature protection laws have been formulated. In addition to the world-renowned sightseeing spots, even in areas that are considered to be relatively ordinary, there are also unique tours for sports enthusiasts such as hiking, mountain biking, roller skating, scooters, and mountain biking.
Snow is likely to fall in the canton of Hausen between April and May, so hiking enthusiasts usually choose to go into the mountains between 6 and 8 times, when the snow has completely melted in the mountains.
It's June, and it's a great time for hiking. Sophia was dressed in a simple short-sleeved black T-shirt, cargo pants, and only a pair of sunglasses. On the other hand, Yin Jie and the others can be called "fully armed": wearing a fisherman's hat, a jacket and outdoor quick-drying pants, hiking boots, and an outdoor drinking bottle on a light backpack... Sophia shook her head and said no.
The three of them talked and laughed and went on the road.
The bus stop is very simple, with only a large rectangular traffic sign indicating the time and route of each bus, from which you can see at what stops the bus will pass along the way.
The bus stops at a stop on the outskirts of the city. After Yin Jie got out of the car, he looked around, and the first thing he saw was a dense forest not far away, and a regular field nearby. In some fields, delicate asparagus sprouts straight out of the soil and are still trying to grow upward. Other acres are planted with a strange crop. This crop looks a lot like wheat, but it is very different from wheat: the ears are larger, darker in color (dark green ears), and flattened. Sophia told them that it was wheat for beer, not the same as wheat for milling.
The forest looks close, but it is far away. The three of them walked for almost half an hour before they reached the entrance to the forest. Sophia pointed to a yellow sign on the side of the road and said that it was a sign for the hiking route, and there were three types of signs: yellow, red and white. The yellow marked trails are less difficult, while the red and white ones are more difficult and require the use of trekking poles.
The three of them walked into the towering forest one after another. The forest has trails for hikers, and the paved roads are lined with towering trees, fir trees, cedars, and many unknown trees. Sophia pulled a few leaves from the side of the road and handed them to Yin Jie and Diane, sniffing them lightly, and the strong smell of leeks rushed to her nose. She laughs and explains that this plant is called wild leek, and in the summer people often go into the mountains to pick it home to make leek sauce, which is very delicious to spread on bread, and some people use it to make special salad dressings.
On the way, the group also met an old man sitting on a tall horse. The old lady should be 60 years away, wearing a black riding costume and straddle the back of a fat and strong brown horse, heroic and majestic. Yin Jie's eyes were very hot, and he couldn't help but talk to the old lady for a few words, and then took a group photo together before waving goodbye.
The route Sophia chose was very nice and the scenery on the way was exceptional. Along the way, they passed through deep forests, fields as bright as paintings, peaceful valleys, and picturesque villages. Along the way, there are wooden walking trails, short tunnels, historical museums, crystal-clear mountain streams, and dazzlingly beautiful rock formations. In addition, they also passed through a unique mountain flower tour area, the road is gently undulating, and there are light dandelions, golden short yellow flowers, and wild daffodils all over the mountains, lined with snow-capped mountains and forests, the bright beauty is simply indescribable.
The three of them walked carefully on the mountain flower path, the daffodils on the slope swayed in the wind with delicate flower stems, Yin Jie and Dianhui were full of admiration but did not come forward to pick. Seeing this, Sophia smiled at the two of them with satisfaction and said: These wild daffodils are protected by government regulations. People who live in the mountains can pick daffodils from their yards, but the flowers on the hillsides are not allowed to be damaged in the slightest.
After walking for a long time along the trail around this large flower-filled mountain, the three of them found a few children selling flowers at the intersection of the trail and the road. The children, whose families live in the mountains, tie the daffodils they collect from their yards into small bunches of about six each, which cost two euros.
At noon, the three of them came to a quiet and warm town. Every house here has white walls and gray roofs, and clusters of delicate flowers bloom in front of and behind the houses, and even on the windowsills of every house. Sophia says it's a small wine town in the canton of Hausen, where the townspeople use traditional methods to produce dry red wines made from Pinot Noir, which are of good quality.
The three of them had been hungry all morning, and as soon as they found a restaurant, they couldn't wait to get in, and each asked for a sandwich with fries, and drank a large cup of coffee before their stomachs felt comfortable. After a short break, he started on his way again.
This time, they traveled along the edge of a forest. On one side of the road is a deep and mysterious wood, and on the other side is a neat row of grape trellises, along which the vines wind and climb, and the grape leaves stretch freely. It's early summer, and the sun is already starting to heat up, but walking here, you feel that the air around you is moist and pleasant.
In the evening, the three of them went to a larger wine town, where there is a wine museum, where a large number of exhibits and texts tell the history of the development of wine in the region, and the video hall loops documentaries that are a real record of the work and life of ordinary winemakers for a year. Yin Jie listened and translated for Dian: "This winemaker keeps a diary every day for grapes and winemaking, and he says: 'Growing grapes is like educating children to guide their growth through pruning'. That's interesting. ”
Sophia proposes a wine tasting and a share of the winemaker's joy. The trio went to a traditional tasting room in the museum and chose to taste the locally produced dry red. Take a sip of wine, let it go to every corner of the mouth, and then slowly slide down the throat, Yin Jie closed his eyes and savored, well, the tannins are delicate and silky, with the aroma of berries and leather... She liked it very much. When she was about to ask the museum staff about buying it, Sophia told her that the wine was available in the lobby on the first floor of the TH office building. The staff brought a few people to the message wall and handed each person a 1/2 postcard-sized card with various wine-related patterns printed on it. Yin Jie saw that the walls were already plastered with such cards, on which were short sentences written in various languages.
"What is this for?" asked Diane.
"It's a small rule of the museum, and after a wine tasting, the museum invites people to write down a quote about the wine in their own language, or to write good wishes. ”
Yin Jie and Dai Anhui each wrote and pasted it. When I looked at it again, Yin Jie wrote "Grape wine glow-in-the-dark cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately, drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people will come back to fight in ancient times?" The two looked at each other and smiled.
The three of them rested in the tasting room for a while. On this day, although I was covered in sweat through the mountains and mountains, I did not feel tired, and after drinking a glass of red wine, I felt that my limbs were tired. The three decided to take the bus back to Hausen in a moment.
Yin Jie looked at his watch, today's hiking time: eight hours.
