Yang Jing didn't know how much he had drunk at noon, anyway, when he woke up, it was already the next day.Fortunately, although the drink is broken, but the head does not hurt after sobering up, these barley wine is a serious grain wine, although the taste is not as good as Mao Wulu, but it tastes unique, plus a kind of bold Tibetan man keeps toasting, as a result, Yang Jing drank too much.Hearing Yang Jing's movement of getting up, the oil lamp in the outhouse lit up, and after a while, Tashi Tsering walked in with an oil lamp in one hand and a steaming bowl of crisp tea in the other.At this time, in such a remote mountainous area, there was no electricity."
Drink some crisp tea mat, you drank at noon yesterday and didn't know who you wanted, and you couldn't wake you up if you were asked to eat dinner, and now that the wine is awake, it is estimated that you are hungry, so let's drink some crisp tea mat first."
Yang Jing shook his head, which was still a little dizzy, hurriedly got out of bed, took the bowl of steaming puff pastry tea with both hands, and said, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, but at the same time, I'm sorry that I drank too much rude." ”When the old man heard this, he laughed slightly, "It's okay, in fact, if you don't drink too much, we will be unhappy."
As a man of our collectors, it would be our own faux pas to not be able to keep our distinguished guests company. ”Yang Jing smiled bitterly: "These are good, you have completed the task, but I am uncomfortable." ”As he spoke, Yang Jing took a sip of crisp tea, and the full fragrance immediately lifted Yang Jing's spirits, "It's delicious!"
It's really delicious!
”Maybe he really felt hungry, Yang Jing didn't care about burning his tongue, and drank the big bowl of crisp tea in three times and five divided by two, and suddenly felt hot between his chest and abdomen, and some of the dizziness in his brain disappeared."
Would you like another bowl?"
The old man looked at Yang Jing very happily.Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Thank you, this bowl is very good." ”Yang Jing raised his hand and looked at his watch, and found that it was almost eight o'clock in the morning, but there was a time difference between this side and Yanjing, so the sky was just bright at this time.Yang Jing found that Austin had been standing outside the door, so he waved at him, and after Austin came in, Yang Jing asked, "Are our people awake?"
”Austin replied, "Yesterday the old man arranged very well, we all lived in these houses, and now they are awake." ”The two of them communicated in English, and the old man couldn't understand it, but Yang Jing quickly said: "Old man, thank you very much for your hospitality yesterday, now that we are all awake, we should also go into the mountain to complete our task." ”The old man said, "Then we will have breakfast and then leave," the old man said, and took out a large stack of Franklin and was about to stuff it to Yang Jing, "I can't accept this money, you come here, you are our guests, where is the host to collect money from guests?"
”Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand, pushed the money back and said, "Old man, you take this money first, don't be too little."
To tell you the truth, we are going into the mountains to survey a jade mine not far from here, and if the survey is done, this jade mine will start mining this summer at the latest.And you are the closest place to live in the jade mines, so you can take the money and see if you can open a restaurant or something here, and then our workers can have a hot meal at your place.This money is what you are going to use to do this. ”In these days, even if you open a small restaurant in a big city, it is only a matter of a few thousand yuan.Two thousand dollars, even if it is converted at the official exchange rate, can be exchanged for more than 7,000 dollars.And if it is exchanged from an unofficial place, 20,000 dare not say, but 15,000 is definitely a certainty.Tashi Tsering obviously understood what was going on, "This is not good, even if you open a restaurant, this money is too much." ”"Let you take it, you can take it, the next time I come back, won't you just entertain you well?"
The old man no longer insisted on repaying the money, but he still asked, "Is there really a jade mine going to be developed here?"
”"Well, eight or nine is not far from ten, and the location of the jade mine is not very far from you.""
Then, if the jade mine really opens, can our men here go in and become workers?""
Haha, you don't have to worry about this, as long as they don't dislike hard work and are willing to do this job, I guarantee that they can go to the mountains to be workers, and the salary will not be less."
When the old man heard this, he rubbed his hands happily, and then said as if he remembered something: "Why don't you go into the mountain today and let my son Tenzin Tsering go with you, there are horses and yaks at home, and your luggage can be carried by these animals."
And Tenzin should be more familiar with the situation in the mountains, and with him as a guide, you will save a lot of trouble. ”The old man said that this Tenzin Tsering, Yang Jing also saw it when he was drinking yesterday, and knew that it was a very honest Tibetan man in his forties, so he thought about it and nodded in agreement.Although the area he chose was only seven or eight kilometers away from here in a straight line, this was in the mountains, and it was also in the Kunlun Mountains, and the seven or eight kilometers in a straight line should really walk, at least 15 or even 20 kilometers away, and it was obviously a good thing to have a Tibetan who was familiar with the local mountain conditions to lead the way.Of course, the happy old man did not let Yang Jing and them leave directly, Yang Jing and they spent more than half an hour eating a breakfast of tsamba + crisp tea, and then bid farewell to the wise old man and other Tibetans, and then under the leadership of the old man's son Tenzin Tsering, they began the trekking journey into the mountain.Because of the addition of Tenzin Tsering, the team expanded to nine people plus two yaks.The addition of these two yaks can be regarded as completely liberating their group, otherwise each of them would have to carry something weighing nearly 20 kilograms into the mountain.Now with these two hard-working yaks, everything they carry can be handed over to these two yaks to carry it.A total of less than three hundred catties, these two yaks are easy to carry up.After walking about two kilometers along the valley after coming out of Tashi Tsering's house, all the farmland in the valley is gone, the width of the valley is rapidly reduced to about 50 meters, and the slopes on both sides are steepened."
Liu Gong, can roads be built in such a narrow river valley?
I mean, can a two-lane road be built in both directions?
”Yang Jing looked at the surrounding landform while walking, and asked Liu Changchuan, he is an engineer of the Highway Bureau, can he build a road here, he said it.Since the jade mine is to be opened here, the problem of traffic in and out is a problem that needs to be solved first, and without a good transportation, the jade mine will not be opened.Liu Changchuan obviously understood what he was going to do with him, and he took out his notebook from time to time to write and draw on it along the way, and now when he heard Yang Jing ask, he nodded and said: "The geographical conditions of this river valley are very good, and it is no problem to build a third-level road."
At least until now, there is no problem in building a tertiary road. ”After a pause, Wang Changyou explained while walking: "In our country, the third-level highway refers to a two-way two-lane highway, the width of the roadbed of this kind of highway is generally 75 meters, the width of each lane is 3 meters, plus the shoulders of each side of 75 centimeters, together constitute a 75-meter-wide roadbed. ”"However, according to the current situation in the river valley, if we continue to move forward, I am afraid that the tertiary road will not be easy to repair, and even if it is forcibly repaired, the future maintenance work will be a big problem.Mr.
Smith, if you may, could you consider a four-class highway?
”"A fourth-class highway?
Is it the kind of single-lane road?
”"Well, it's a two-way single lane, to be exact.The roadbed of this kind of highway is narrower than that of the third-class road, the standard fourth-class highway roadbed width is six meters, and the net width of the lane is 35 meters, but in special areas, this standard can be appropriately relaxed, for example, we can reduce the width of the shoulder, and the width of the lane can also be reduced, but in this way, the meeting will become a problem, and it is also necessary to build a meeting point at intervals to ensure that the car can be safely met. ”Yang Jing nodded slightly and said, "Don't jump to conclusions for the time being, let's continue to move forward and see."
What I mean by this is to build as many standard tertiary roads as possible, and if that's really not possible, let's look at reducing the width of the roadbed. ”Liu Changchuan nodded and did not speak again.The westernmost edge of the area that Yang Jing had chosen when he was flying in the air that day was only a few hundred meters away from the straight-line distance of the Aqik River Valley.However, within a few hundred meters of distance, there is a mountain with an altitude of more than 2,500 meters.Therefore, in order to enter the target area from the Aqik Valley, it is necessary to go around the sides of the mountain.At this time, the two mountains that appeared in front of him made the originally straight river channel begin to bend, and the degree of bending was not small.However, after crossing this 15-kilometer-long winding stretch of the river, the valley ahead is narrower but straighter again.Liu Changchuan stayed near this curved river for a long time, writing and drawing in his notebook for a long time, and then found Yang Jing and said: "Mr.
Smith, if the road wants to pass through this section of the river valley, it is necessary to build a winding mountain road, unless we dig a tunnel from this mountain, we can only cross this ridge through the winding mountain road." ”Yang Jing asked, "Is it difficult?"
”"It's not very difficult, the slopes of this mountain are relatively gentle, and building a winding road is not a problem, but it has increased the mileage of the road.""
Well, as long as you can build roads, it doesn't matter if you can increase your mileage."
In this way, Yang Jing and Liu Changchuan discussed all the way, and the lunch at noon was cooked by themselves in the ravine, fortunately, these people are well-trained people, and this difficulty of mountaineering is not difficult for them.When the sun gradually sank in the afternoon, the group had already penetrated to a position about ten kilometers away from the mouth of the Aqike River Valley, at this time, Yang Jing pointed to the big mountain on the left and said: "We need to climb over or bypass this mountain to reach the target area."
Shall we continue our walk today, or shall we rest here tonight and continue our journey tomorrow?
