Chapter 74
"Sister Chen, are you planning to open a braised pork trotter restaurant in our Daming City that Never Sleeps?"
After getting in the car, Chen Lanyue asked in a low voice in Shen Hui's ear.
Seeing Chen Hui nod, "Sister Chen, I just asked the boss if I could go to the kitchen to take some pictures of the braised pig's trotters in the pot. After the boss agreed, he chatted with the guy in the kitchen. He is the youngest son of the owner of this store. He helps in the store after the college entrance examination. His studies are not very good. The boss has two sons, and the eldest son is already married."
When Chen Lanyue said this, Chen Hui reacted. She knew that Chen Lanyue was considerate, but she didn't expect there would be such a surprise.
Signaled Chen Lanyue to continue.
"When our Daming City That Never Sleeps is built, we can directly invite the boss's youngest son to graduate from college. Young people all yearn for big cities. By then, we can let the youngest son come to City B to open a store. At least give him half of the ancestral soup ingredients." At this point, Chen Lanyue raised her hand and shook her phone, "I added him on WeChat."
"Okay, then you should keep this in mind."
"Our Yueyue is getting better and better." Chen Yingying also echoed the praise.
The most beautiful scenery is on the road. Chen Hui looked at the grassland hillsides on both sides of the road through the car window.
She had never seen green like this in real life.
Just take a picture with your mobile phone and it will look as beautiful as a desktop wallpaper.
"If you come here next month, the grass will be dark green, not as lush green as it is now. But by then, many grasslands will be covered with wolfsbane flowers."
“That must be beautiful.”
Sister Zhang took out her phone and showed Chen Hui and the others the photos of wolfsbane she had taken last year. “It’s beautiful, but it’s not good for the grassland’s ecological environment. Only when the natural grassland continues to degrade can wolfsbane grow all over the ground.”
The flower is just as its name suggests, Chen Hui couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Listening to Sister Zhang telling the stories of Siguniang Mountain and Concubine Zhaojun's journey to the frontier, Chen Hui and her group followed Sister Zhang's advice and decided not to visit the scenic spots when passing by Laji Mountain and Riyue Mountain.
While repairing the roadside, Sister Zhang took Chen Hui and others to the home of a Tibetan she knew to taste the authentic yak yogurt fermented by the Tibetans themselves. Chen Hui didn't believe it at first and didn't follow Sister Zhang's advice to add some sugar. The yogurt tasted really sour after one bite.
The group bought a lot of homemade yogurt candies from Tibetan families, and the taste was really different from those on the market.
When we arrived at Qinghai Lake, we didn’t go to the scenic area.
Sister Zhang led Chen Hui and her group directly into the herdsman’s home near Qinghai Lake and arrived directly at the lake.
Chen Hui looked at the Qinghai Lake in front of her and the grassland behind her. "Should we camp here tonight?"
Chen Yingying and Chen Lanyue were so happy that they jumped up and down in agreement.
"You can watch the sunrise when you wake up in the morning." Chen Yingying hugged Chen Hui.
Chen Hui nodded excitedly, "Watch the sunset tonight and the setting sun tomorrow."
"Then I'll go ask the Tibetans if I can buy a lamb or a yak. I'll roast a whole lamb or a whole yak for you tonight. How about that?"
Chen Lanyue's mouth almost drooled after hearing what Yuan Congting said. "Yes, yes, yes, there is a piece of sand here, so we should be able to light a bonfire."
At this moment, Sister Zhang ruthlessly interrupted their "fantasy".
"No, no, no, that won't do. It's a bit windy now. It will be a pain to camp outside when the temperature drops below zero tonight. If anyone of you catches a cold, we'll have to end the trip early. You can't catch a cold on the plateau."
"No way? It's already the end of June." Chen Yingying said with some doubt.
"Of course not. It can snow heavily even in July and August."
"The weather forecast says it will be sunny these few days."
Sister Zhang shook her head. "Here, the weather forecast is never accurate. If you want to camp, you can camp at the Starry Sky Camping Base when you get to Daxiadan, or you can camp in the Water Yadan Scenic Area. When we get to Dunhuang, we can also camp in the desert."
Although they felt a little regretful, Chen Hui and others decided to follow Sister Zhang's advice.
Although you can't camp at Qinghai Lake, you can still satisfy yourself by eating roasted whole lamb beside the lake.
Sister Zhang brought Chen Hui and her group to Zhuoma's Hotel near Qinghai Lake. After speaking to the owner, the owner took Yuan Congting to the back to pick out a lamb.
Across the road in front of this hotel is Qinghai Lake, which also belongs to them.
There is no doubt about Yuan Congting's cooking skills. After all, she is the apprentice of Chef Mu Ruihuating. Even Sister Zhang gave her a thumbs up.
Chen Lanyue helped Chen Hui change her own bed sheets and turned on the electric blanket before leaving.
At this time, Chen Hui was very glad that she listened to Sister Zhang and did not insist on camping by the Qinghai Lake.
The next morning, Chen Hui was awakened by screams outside the window.
After opening the curtains, I looked out the window at the snow-covered world.
It was snowing heavily.
[Start today's task, please spend 200 million Chinese Yuan within 26 hours. Kindly note that it cannot be used for donations and can only be consumed by the host himself. You can get ten times the rebate and random rewards by completing the task, and there is no penalty for failing the task. ]
After receiving today's mission money, Chen Hui put on her windbreaker and walked out.
Li Dongmei and Zhang Ting were already waiting at her door.
Li Dongmei told me that Chen Lanyue and Chen Yingying were suffering from altitude sickness and were lying in bed receiving oxygen.
Just as I was about to go see them, I met Sister Zhang.
"They were singing and dancing last night. I asked them to slow down but they didn't listen. They are so beautiful. They are suffering today. Don't worry, they are just minor problems. I just checked and they both have a slight altitude sickness and a headache. They just need to get some sleep and it won't delay their trip."
Chen Hui still trusted what Sister Zhang said. After all, Sister Zhang had been running this route for many years and had seen many tourists, so she naturally understood.
After checking on the two people and making sure they were okay, I ran to the Qinghai Lake and made a snowman.
Nature is truly magical.
[Mr. Shen, I have reached a preliminary agreement with the Planning Bureau and Shangzhuang Town Government. The next issue is the resettlement of the villagers. I will prepare two plans within three days. If everything goes well, the deal will be done within 2 months. ]
[Village C and East Village have a total of 833 households and a total population of 3,398 villagers. The policy of relocating to the original place requires that each villager be given a housing subsidy of 2,000 yuan per month so that the villagers can rent their own houses. The monthly expenditure is 3,596,000 yuan, and the annual expenditure is 92,252,000 yuan. It is estimated to take three years and cost 233,656,000 yuan. The total rental compensation for each villager is 32,000 yuan. ]
[At the same time, the estimated compensation for the land occupied by the forest at Site No. 2 in Village C is 290,000 yuan per person, which requires 296,930,000 yuan. ]
Chen Hui was enjoying the snow scenery by the Qinghai Lake when she received a WeChat message from Xia Qiaoning.
A rough calculation shows that it is nearly 600 million Chinese yuan.
After transferring 233,656,000 yuan directly to Xia Qiaoning, I replied to her, “This is the resettlement rental subsidy for the villagers of Village C and East Village. I will transfer the compensation for Land No. 2 in Village C to you tomorrow. ]
I am really smart. This way I can also solve the task money for tomorrow.
Guo Chenglin didn't send her any project investment contracts in the past two days. He probably talked to Xia Qiaoning and knew that she didn't need it now.
The system is really considerate and easy to use.
[Congratulations to the host for completing today's task and successfully spending 200 million Chinese Yuan. A tenfold rebate has been received, and a random reward of half a 'repair pill' and 20,000 reward points. ]
[Huaxia Bank] Your card with the last digit of your card number is 9055 and you have received RMB 2000000000 through Super Online Banking transfer. The current account balance is RMB 32522352926.23. The last digit of the other party’s account is 8888. The other party’s account name: Chen Hui.
Repair pills?
[Xiao Ba kindly reminds you that it is recommended that the host consume it only when needed. ]
Will I get hurt behind me?
Why would you reward yourself with a repair pill? It also specifically reminds you to wait until needed before eating.
Forget it, things will work out when the time comes. I just need to be careful these two days.
After Chen Yingying and Chen Lanyue felt better, the group set off for Chaka Town.
She was really looking forward to the Chaka Salt Lake, the 'Sky Realm'.
"The Chaka Salt Lake Scenic Area is very crowded even now. I suggest we go to Sky One. Sky One is a newly built scenic area with much less traffic than Chaka. It can also be used to shoot blockbuster movies of the small train in Hayao Miyazaki's cartoons. They are both Chaka Salt Lake, with two locations built. Is there anyone from Zhejiang on our train? They can get free tickets."
While introducing, Sister Zhang showed Chen Hui the photos on her phone.
Listen to others' advice and eat your fill.
The group went directly to Sky One.
Chen Hui changed into a Giambattista Valli haute couture dress, with layers of pure white tulle embellished with red feathers and rhinestones.
A-Lan tied her hair up and put on a CHANEL high-bead headband full of diamonds worth tens of millions.
Although Sister Zhang doesn’t know much about high-end luxury brands, she can tell from the looks of it that they are not cheap.
"It's hard to clean up after going down to the lake wearing such expensive clothes."
The photographer and videographer hired by Chen Yingying recognized the brand at a glance, and it didn't look like a high imitation. The two people looked at each other and thought that if this dress fell into the salt lake, it would be ruined.
I have been working in photography and videography for many years, and have even photographed big stars.
At this time, the two experienced people were a little nervous. If they didn't take a good picture, it would be a waste of the skirt. What they didn't expect was that Chen Hui showed them a few pictures. "I like these movements very much. I'll trouble the teacher to help me with some pointers when the time comes."
Looking at two of the photos of people lying or crawling in the salt lake, I suddenly felt stressed.
“Boss Shen, this…this photo shoot is fine, but your skirt will be ruined. The feathers on it probably can’t be restored to their original state even after washing.”
“It doesn’t matter, as long as the photo looks good.”
The Giambattista Valli haute couture dress that Chen Hui is wearing is a 2020 model. There are usually not many occasions to wear it. She bought it in order to complete the system's task.
After taking the photos, Chen Hui quickly took off her dress in the outdoor changing tent she brought with her, and wiped the salt water off her body with a wet wipe. Even though the photographer was fast enough, Chen Hui felt her nose and shoulders were burning from being exposed to the sun in the salt lake, especially after being touched by the salt lake water.
After cleaning her whole body with wet wipes and applying repairing aloe vera gel, Chen Hui put on a sun-protective long-sleeved shirt and trousers and walked out of the tent.
The haute couture dress that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars was now in a mess, with grains of salt all over the gauze.
The sun was very strong in Chaka, and the surface became a little dry after a while, but white marks were left.
When Chen Lanyue saw that Chen Hui didn't want it anymore, her heart was bleeding.
"Sister Shen, I'll put it away then."
Although it is troublesome to clean, Chen Lanyue said that she does not mind the trouble at all and she is willing to clean it bit by bit. As for the red feathers on the skirt, it does not matter since they are all hand-sewn on. She can buy new feathers and sew them on slowly by herself.
Once it’s cleaned up, even if you sell it, there will be fashion studios willing to pay a high price for it.
Chen Lanyue naturally wouldn't refuse Shen Hui if she wanted her, since she was going to throw her away anyway.
Sister Zhang, who was standing by, exclaimed "wow" when she learned the price of the dress.
This is more than what I earn in a year.
There are many hotels in Chaka Town. Although many of them are not star-rated, most of their interior decoration and facilities are comparable to those of star-rated hotels.
After checking in, Chen Hui returned to the room. While taking a shower, she could already feel the stinging pain of sunburned skin. No wonder today's system reward was a 'repair pill'.
Just as Chen Hui was about to take it after taking a shower, Chen Lanyue handed her the repair cream she had prepared.
“Sister Chen, this is what A-Lan recommended. Many artists in the circle are using it. It has a very good repair effect and is medical grade. But the smell is not very pleasant.”
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Hui was very satisfied with Chen Lanyue's thoughtfulness.
After she left, she took a repair pill. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but Chen Hui felt that the burning sensation on her shoulders was not as severe.
