Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 1070: Hospitality Tradition (1/2)

Liu Qingshan and his group drove two off-road jeeps, got on National Highway 110, and headed west.

In addition to Zhang Pengfei and Wei Bing, who shared the same dormitory, there were also Li Tie and Li Tieniu, two brothers, and Gao Feng and Xiao Liuzi, a total of seven people including Liu Qingshan.

Gao Feng was mainly there to contact the raw materials of medicinal materials, and Xiao Liuzi naturally followed the same banner.

However, in Liu Qingshan's opinion, the little guy was still running wild and wanted to go for a stroll.

This also made the little fourth child envious: I don't want to go to school either!

But everyone takes a different path, so it's better not to envy each other.

In front of the jeep, there are several large trucks.

This is Li Likun's car team, which is responsible for pulling jade back from the northwest border.

Every summer, they have to run two round trips.

Jade is mined there, mainly in the summer, and old man Alim is responsible for taking people to purchase jade there.

In addition to Hetian white jade, things like black jade and golden silk jade produced by KLMY are also within the scope of purchase.

In the past two years, Shanhaizhai has been hoarding raw materials, including gold, white jade, and jadeite raw stones.

This is the main reason why Liu Qingshan has not withdrawn funds from Shanhaizhai.

In addition, building branches also consumes a lot of funds.

Under Liu Qingshan's insistence, no matter which big city a branch is opened in, it is directly purchased in the most prosperous commercial street.

Although the current land price is relatively cheap, it is also relatively speaking. After all, jewelry stores are opened in prosperous areas, and the land price must be the highest.

Li Likun sat in Liu Qingshan's SUV and chatted all the way.

He has now settled down in the capital and bought a building in Fangzhuang Community. Last year, his wife just gave birth to a big fat son for him, and his life is good.

"Boss, when are you going to the border to see it? Old Alim and others are always talking about you."

Li Likun is very satisfied with his current life. He knows that all this is because he joined Longteng Company and got to know this boss, which completely changed his life.

Otherwise, he would never have dreamed that he could settle down in the capital.

"Let's see. If you have time, this trip is a good opportunity to go and take a look." Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

He has been more financially stable in the past two years, and he also wants to go there to see if he can contract a jade mine.

They left early, and by noon, they had already arrived in Zhangjiakou, just in time for lunch.

Each person had a big bowl of oatmeal noodles, served with fresh mutton and mushrooms, which made several people sweat profusely.

The drivers led by Li Likun are all familiar customers here, and they chat with the owner while eating.

It seems to be a casual chat, but it is actually a good process of communication and understanding information, especially for long-distance drivers, who should pay attention to collecting information on the road at any time.

"This year, there is a bit of drought, and the production of oatmeal noodles in the dam has decreased a lot, and mushrooms are less than in previous years." The owner took a cigarette handed over by Li Likun and chatted about family matters.

Liu Qingshan and his friends were going to the northwest border, so they were about to enter Inner Mongolia, then enter Gansu, and cross the Hexi Corridor.

This journey is not short. If you really want to go to the border, it will be almost 20,000 miles.

Li Likun asked the owner: "Brother, is it safe on the road?"

The owner nodded: "It's been a lot in the past two years. Besides, who dares to stop your military vehicle?"

Li Likun chuckled twice. They have real weapons in their car.

The climate and environment in the northwest are harsh, so the people are also more sturdy.

Liu Qingshan ate and listened quietly. The northwest is inland, unlike the coastal areas, which have many development advantages.

After eating, resting for half an hour, the convoy was on the road again. At more than three o'clock in the afternoon, the surrounding scenery changed. They had entered the grassland area.

The vision also widened. In this season, the meadow has already shown some withered yellow.

"The sky is vast, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass low and sees cattle and sheep."

Xiao Liuzi muttered in her mouth. Although she has never been to school, from the perspective of traditional Chinese studies alone, she has long surpassed her peers.

In the evening, the convoy stopped in front of several yurts, which was also a fixed resting point for Li Likun and his team on this route.

When the herdsmen saw Li Likun, they all greeted him warmly.

At dinner, everyone also ate fresh and tender hand-pulled meat.

The herdsmen were hospitable and poured kumis for everyone.

After a day of driving, the drivers would drink a bowl of kumis, then sleep well, and get up the next day, they would be energetic again.

They were all acquaintances, and they knew that the drivers would drive tomorrow, so the herdsmen did not urge them to drink.

Otherwise, how could the guests who entered the yurt not drink?

Li Tie did not drink, and Liu Qingshan also tasted it lightly. Only Li Tieniu followed a few herdsmen to drink.

At first, several herdsmen did not care much, but as they drank, they felt that Li Tieniu seemed to have a good alcohol tolerance, and they suddenly became energetic and drank bowl after bowl.

Li Tieniu became more and more sober as he drank more, but the eyes of the herdsmen gradually became a little blurry, but they still held on. After all, these men were still very proud in their hearts, especially in their alcohol tolerance.

But they didn't hold on for long, and they all lay down.

Li Tieniu patted his belly and muttered: "When can I experience the feeling of being drunk?"

Xiao Liuzi chuckled: "Brother Tieniu, I guess no one can help you realize this wish."

Liu Qingshan got up early the next morning. At this moment, the sun was rising and the grassland was quiet.

In the fresh smell of green grass, I ran for a while with Li Tie and Li Tieniu, then started to stand, and then practiced boxing with Li Tieniu. Gao Feng and Xiao Liuzi also joined in.

Although Gao Feng did not practice martial arts, he always insisted on standing in the stance. After finishing the stance, he and Xiao Liuzi went for a walk on the meadow. The grassland also produced many medicinal herbs.

But when Xiao Liuzi came back, he had a lot of big mushrooms in his pockets.

After a while, Li Likun led the car soldiers to start doing morning exercises. They have stuck to this habit. 7K妏揩

Liu Qingshan thinks it's pretty good. He drives during the day and sits all day long. It is still necessary to exercise properly.

Only the two lazy guys, Boss Zhang and Wei Bing, were still sleeping soundly in the bag.

Herdsmen are equally diligent. Morning is their busiest time, with milking, grazing, and cleaning sheep pens. There is endless work to do.

When the men yesterday saw Li Tieniu, they all put their hands on their chests and bowed in salute.

They respect heroes the most, and the heroes at the wine table are also heroes.

However, after seeing Li Tieniu being thrown around by Liu Qingshan, the herdsmen looked at Liu Qingshan with respect.

Li Tieniu's general frame is stronger than that of the boxers who participated in Naadam, but in the end he was unable to beat Liu Qingshan.

After the morning exercise, Liu Qingshan was sweating all over. When he returned to the yurt, he found that the owner had already prepared water.

Li Likun and the others drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Qingshan also took a sip. Good guy, it's so cold.

Just as he was about to put down the thick bowl, Li Likun whispered to him: "This is the rule of the herdsmen, you must drink."

Liu Qingshan blinked, a little confused. I heard that herdsmen are hospitable and must drink alcohol. I never heard that they must drink cold water.

Li Likun told him: resting in the yurt at night, men and women lay together.

What if a foreign guest is dishonest, has a wrong idea, and sleeps with another woman?

Get up in the morning and drink a bowl of cold water. If you really do what you did, drink a bowl of cold water and you will definitely get sick. It’s hard to say whether that thing will be usable in the future.

Therefore, in pastoral areas, this tradition of hospitality remains.

Liu Qingshan finally understood and drank the bowl of cold water with a smile.

After breakfast, we said goodbye to the herdsmen, who had to bring a lot of dairy products and dried meat.

One man, Li Tieniu, was carrying two sheepskin bags filled with fine kumiss.

These items were all given away for free, which made Liu Qingshan feel a little embarrassed and asked Li Tie to move two boxes of instant noodles and canned fruits from the car as a return gift.

In fact, these herdsmen are quite easy to make friends with, provided you can win their respect.

After another day of running, we arrived at HHHT in the evening and rested here.

Gao Feng went to the local medicinal company to contact the business.

The main thing is to sign some purchase contracts. He needs a relatively large amount. Some types of herbs are not usually collected in large quantities and there is not that much inventory.

I stayed here all morning the next day to sign a contract and pay a deposit and so on.

As we travel further northwest, it becomes increasingly desolate, and we often run for dozens of miles without seeing a human being.

A few days later, they finally entered Gansu Province, and more and more Gobi desert appeared along the way.

"Boss, we must camp in the wild tonight." Li Likun saw that night was gradually falling, and he had no choice but to camp without a village or a store.

They were running this long route, so this situation would not have happened, but in the afternoon, there was construction on a section of the road, which delayed it for several hours.

Fortunately, the truck was well prepared and had plenty of cooking utensils and food.

So we drove all the vehicles off the main road and prepared dinner under a deserted slope.

Two kerosene stoves were lit, one boiling water and the other cooking noodles.

Put the ham sausage into a large pot for cooking instant noodles, add mushrooms and dried meat, and serve with pancakes. Everyone is quite full.

"It would be even more beautiful if there was a lamb roasted. It seems I have to think better tomorrow and buy two sheep from the herdsmen."

Li Likun felt a little sorry. The boss had to go with them after a long time, so he had to eat something good.

Their big trucks, when they come back to haul jade, of course cannot be empty when they go there. They are all carrying things for Old Alimu and the others, but there is still room for two sheep.

"When you go out, just eat enough." Liu Qingshan didn't care.

At night, everyone slept in the car with their clothes on, and finally began to experience the hardships of the journey.

In the middle of the night, a piercing howl suddenly penetrated the quiet night sky of the grassland, and it sounded so sad.

"Howling wolf!" Liu Qingshan woke up instantly.

Swish, swish, the car headlights all turned on.

At the same time, there was a vague voice: "Help..."

March, early spring.

The hazy sky was gray and black, showing heavy depression, as if someone had spilled ink on the rice paper, and the ink soaked into the sky and blurred out the clouds.

The clouds overlapped and merged with each other, spreading out streaks of crimson lightning, accompanied by rumbling thunder.

It's like the roar of gods, echoing in the world.

The earth is hazy, and there is a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim bloody rain.

The broken walls and ruins in the city, everything is withered, collapsed houses can be seen everywhere, as well as blue-black corpses and pieces of meat, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.

The bustling streets in the past are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper is left, which is indistinguishable and shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage is deeply stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of gloomy weirdness.

The cloudy eyes seemed to have some resentment, and he looked at the mottled stones in front of him alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a 13 or 14-year-old boy, with ragged clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, swept through his body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog at a distance of seven or eight feet from him, and sometimes vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, it would instantly take off at the slightest movement.

After a long time, the opportunity came, and the greedy vulture finally completely sank its head into the belly of the wild dog.
