Chapter 186
ue dealer in the country!" At this moment, passersby looked at me with strange eyes.Now fifteen or sixteen years have passed, every time I think of this scene, I want to laugh once, I feel like such a...After leaving the cafe, I went back to the Farmers Market with Douzi. We saw that Lao Qin and the others were already waiting for us.
Shang Guomin was considered a local celebrity. He was the first person in Yinchuan to industrialize camel breeding on a large scale. Back then, raising camels was very profitable. Pure camel milk was several dozen times more expensive than cow's milk, and camel leather was more valuable than donkey leather. Camel humps were sold to high-end hotels and restaurants. In the following years, Yinchuan developed its tourism industry, and tourists riding camels also became a source of income.
As young journalists, we sought out Shang Guanmin. Our colleague Gan had already made arrangements, and he was very welcoming to us.
After meeting, he directly stated his intention, saying to the general manager, "We are going to search for the Hute tribe in the desert, and we want to find an experienced guide from you."
"No problem," Shang Guanmin said to an employee standing nearby, "Xiao Zhou, please call Lao Zhang."
"> "
In a few minutes, two people came in. One of them was wearing a leather vest. Although he was getting on in years, he was still powerfully built.
"Lao Zhang, let me introduce you," Shang Guanmin pointed at me and said with a smile: "He's from the newspaper, do you know the Young Geographer They want you to be their guide. I approved it. Lao Zhang, rest assured, your wages will double these days. When you're done, I'll give you three days off to go home and spend time with your wife and children."
"
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
This person nodded in agreement.
"Well then, I have things to attend to. Continue your discussion and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it. I always respect fellow journalists working in the field of news, and in the future when we develop the tourism industry in Helan Mountain, we will need your support and promotion."
">
"Sounds good, Mr. Shang. Rest assured, our newspaper will open a column in the future to specially introduce the local camel industry," I said with a smile.
After 商為民 left, he turned to 老張 and said: "Gentlemen, I've been dealing with deserts and dunes for half my life, so I have some experience. But Alashan is like a woman going through menopause; it can change its mind in an instant. The Hutu people usually follow the oases, so I can't guarantee we'll find them."
">
There's one more thing: Manager Shang entrusted me to be your guide, meaning I'm in charge of your safety. On the road, you have to listen to me. Alashan is not as safe as you might imagine.
There are quicksand pits and yellow beasts in the desert. Sandstorms may also occur this season, so you must pay attention to safety and follow my instructions.
">
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"The bean sprout asked curiously, “I’ve heard about the others, but what is Huang eating people”
"Yellow eats people That thing is scary, hope we have good luck and don't run into it."
">
Lao Zhang, the guide, gestured to Zhao Xuanyan and said, "Miss, you and your companions, dressed like this, you can't enter Alashan. Especially your shoes, you must change them, change to these," He turned and took a pair of high-heeled shoes from the cabinet. They looked a bit like rain boots, but they were much taller than rain boots, probably reaching the knees when worn.
He pointed at the shoes and said, “You can buy these at a safety equipment store. You all have to change into them. Just tell the safety equipment store owner that you're going to Alashan, and he'll understand.”
And what kind of cars are you driving, how is your water supply prepared
I led him to look at our trunk, of course I didn't let him see the things like shovels and stuff used for tomb raiding.
The guide checked the water source and the vehicle condition and said: "The bottled water should be enough, but this car won't do."
"""
The little sprout immediately became anxious, "This is an off-road vehicle! Cherokee knows this! How can it not work If we don't drive, are we going to walk on foot the whole way That would kill us!
The guide shook his head and said, "Forget it. The Hututs are isolated in the depths of the desert. When I took young Gan, the reporter, to find them before, they drove this kind of car too. As a result, after just one day, it stopped working. The tires sank into the sandpits and couldn't get out. Both cars were stuck and kept sinking deeper."
”
Tu stretched out his hand to silence Douzi.
"Well then... what do you suggest Attaching chains to the tires"
"No need for so much trouble," the guide pointed outside and said, "That's the camel pen over there. Each person picks a camel."motioned for me to look east.There was a dried goods store there, with piles of silver ear fungus and dried mushrooms outside.
