Chapter 557
“How do you feel?” Zhao Qin asked Chen Xue beside him.
“I don’t feel anything, don’t worry.”
Awang said with a smile: “The altitude here is very low, only more than 2,500 meters. Kangding is a city built in a mountain valley. The entire city surrounds a mountain.
But if you look down, you will find that several mountains surround a city. ”
Awang introduced the situation of Kangding to the two of them. Although this is the capital of Ganzi Prefecture, the entire city only has about 100,000 people.
On the road, I saw Dolma and Tashi wearing Tibetan clothes from time to time. Tashi was equipped with an exquisite and beautiful dagger.
“Do you like it? I have hired the best craftsman to make two for you. You can take it with you when you leave.”
Ngawang seems to have made sufficient preparations in advance to welcome his arrival, which fully reflects the hospitality and selflessness of the Tibetan people.
“Forget it, you can’t pass the security check on the plane.”
“It’s okay, I’ll mail it to you when the time comes.” Awang vowed.
“Awang, where is your home?”
“Don’t worry, it’s almost here. My two brothers are herding sheep and cattle in the mountains. My father is at home. I guess the sheep have been killed. I won’t be able to make it at noon. Let’s have roasted whole sheep in the evening.”
Awang’s home is considered to be on the outskirts of the city. It’s a bit inappropriate to use the word “suburban” here. It should be said that it is at the tail end of the city.
There are obviously more sparse homes here, and right at the door is a not-wide, but extremely smooth asphalt two-way, two-lane road.
When Zhao Qin arrived, Awang’s father Agula was already at the door, leading them through a large courtyard.
When Chen Xue saw that there was a burning brazier in the middle, she instinctively thought that she should step over it, but Zhao Qin pulled him to stop him.
“Among Tibetans, fire is holy and auspicious, so people cannot step over braziers or fire piles.”
The reason why Zhao Qin knew this was that he had been to Jiuzhaigou Valley and visited Tibetan people’s homes.
After bypassing the fire, we came to the door of the main house. Awang’s mother A Nei held two khatas in her hands. Agula first took one, held it in her hands and muttered something in her mouth, and then walked up to Zhao Qin,
Zhao Qin hurriedly clasped his hands together, bent down and bowed his head. Agula put the hada around his neck, “Dignified guest from afar, the Living Buddha will bless you.”
The language spoken was Chinese, although it was not standard, it was completely understandable.
Zhao Qin waved, and Chen Xue also came closer, imitating Zhao Qin’s example, and received the hada.
“Thank you for coming all the way to see Gawa. Please sit inside.”
“Agula, thank you for the hada. I think it will bring us good luck and the blessing of the Living Buddha.”
Agula grinned and welcomed the two people inside. There was a thick blanket inside, a fireplace next to it, and some dried fruits on the table. Awang made tea for the two of them.
“I know you guys are definitely not used to drinking butter tea. This is the green tea I brought back.”
Zhao Qin thanked him and then heard Agu La say:
“I heard Ngawang say a lot about you. You are a hard-working Tashi, but you are just too thin.” After saying that, he laughed twice.
Zhao Qin also showed a wry smile. He is doing better now. He was thinner last year.
“Abba, Aqin wants to pick some cordyceps this time. I plan to take him there tomorrow. Do you have anything to explain?”
Agula whispered and glanced at Zhao Qin, “Aqin, if you are just playing, just look around here, maybe you can find two or three.
If we go to the mountains… forget it, I will take you with me tomorrow. ”
“You don’t need to follow me all the time. I’m not pointing out this life. I just want to experience it.”
We had roast chicken for lunch. To be honest, it was a little bit spicy, but it still tasted quite fragrant. We also saw Awang’s two sisters-in-law and three nieces and nephews.
Zhao Qin knew that there would be children, so he had already made preparations. Not only did he give each person a red envelope, but he also took out a lot of snacks from the bag.
They did not refuse and said that it was a gift from a friend and they received it with peace of mind.
Awang’s second sister-in-law is actually a local primary school teacher. She can speak Mandarin and is quite talkative. She and Chen Xue had a good conversation.
In the afternoon, Awang took the two of them around Kangding City.
“Awang, have you arranged your work?”
“The organizational relationship has been determined. I work in the state capital. I am mainly responsible for paperwork. I am just a small clerk.”
Zhao Qin was quite envious. Others had to struggle to find a job after graduating from college. But this guy didn’t need to take an exam at all and became a civil servant directly.
Section staff too low?
Who has not been promoted from a clerk? Ngawang is knowledgeable and well-educated. He is a Tibetan. As long as he is not too stupid, he will definitely be easy to get along with.
“brightGod, let my sister (sister-in-law) take my sister-in-law for a walk. Kangding has focused on developing the cultural tourism industry in the past two years, and many new attractions have been built.
We can go to the hot springs and see the sacred mountain. After we pick the cordyceps, we will go to the horse racing meeting together. It will be very lively. ”
“Awang, I heard that the public security here is not very good?”
“It was a little bit before, but now we want to develop the tourism industry, so we are strictly controlling it. But even before, you don’t have to be afraid if you follow me.
In Kangding, no one dares to mess with Awang. “As he said this, he patted his chest.
Kangding is indeed very beautiful. You can see the mountains in the distance when you look up, and you can see the trickling stream when you look down. The river water is very clear, which makes people want to lie down and drink a sip.
In the evening, there were more than ten people in Awang’s family, including Awang’s uncles, cousins and the like. It was really a big family.
Two sheep were roasted directly and the whole sheep was served. Everyone was looking at Zhao Qin. As a guest, he had to do the first cut.
Take the knife, slice off a piece of meat and put it on Axue’s plate, then slice a little for himself, and then everyone started to use the knife, each slicing their own.
Other people drank barley wine, and Awang prepared Luzhou Laojiao for Zhao Qin.
He can really drink!
The barley wine has a high alcohol content, and half a bowl of it went straight into his stomach. Seeing this, Zhao Qin realized that Awang was restrained when he went to his house to drink.
While Awang was toasting the elders, he also had to help Zhao Qin block the wine, knowing that he couldn’t drink much.
…
Early in the morning, Zhao Qin planned to get up early, but Axue, the little lazy bug, didn’t want to get up. Not only did she not want to, she even used her hands and feet to cling to Zhao Qin’s body and didn’t let him get up.
“If you want to sleep, sleep a little longer. I guess I have to follow you up the mountain early in the morning.”
“No, you sleep with me.”
Zhao Qin smiled, and the next moment his hands began to get naughty.
“Itchy, don’t do it, hahaha, okay, get up, get up now. ”
After the two got up, Awang was already packing things to go up the mountain. A large travel bag was tied to the back of the motorcycle, and Agu La was telling something on the side.
“Let’s have breakfast.” Breakfast was big steamed buns, they drank butter tea, and Zhao Qin and the other person each took a box of pure milk.
Zhao Qin suddenly thought of something, and opened the system while eating.
Just as he expected, he changed to a new environment. On the first day, his luck value was very good, 79 points, and the small arrow under the luck value pointed to the northeast.

PS: In Tibetan, Agu La means uncle, and A Nei means aunt.
