Chapter 173 Rescue Mission
This is a bunch of high-end customers with great consumption power!
So Lao Liu also invited them warmly before sending them out.
Even if half of these people stayed in the inn for a night when they came back and looked at the stars, it would be enough to increase the inn's turnover a lot.
Because Lao Liu cured their altitude sickness and they also bought high-quality and low-priced Cordyceps here, the group of people said that when they came to Namcuo after transferring from other places, they must visit Tianlu Inn again.
Lao Liu has no doubt about this. Most of these people are tourists from the north. If they go back, as long as they don’t go down the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line, they will definitely return the same way. At that time, they will definitely pass by the inn...
After sending these hidden rich guys away, Lao Liu pulled Chu Qian and Zhaxi Dawa into the car and drove to Yubacuo in a flash.
When the old man Basang Jianzan looked at the cash that was about 100,000 yuan in front of him and the payment notice on his younger son's mobile phone, the old man was also a little stunned.
"Dawa, is this money the money sold today? All the Cordyceps are sold out?" The old man waited for a pair of big eyes and asked Tashi Dawa very seriously.
At this time, the old man didn't bother to let Zhashidawa translate, so he started to communicate with Zhashidawa in Tibetan.
"Yes, this money is all the money that Brother Liu sells Cordyceps. All the Cordyceps were sold out in the morning. Those customers are so rich, not even vague. If it weren't for the limited number of Cordyceps, maybe these people could have bought some..."
Lao Liu couldn't understand the conversation between the two, so he could only chat with Basang Jianzan's youngest son.
However, this man, who is nearly forty, does not speak Mandarin well, and it almost burst out word by word, so it is quite difficult to communicate. So, after the two of them said a few words to the duck, they ignored Lao Liu and went to communicate with his father and Tashi Dawa.
Not long after, the excited old man drove his youngest son out and called for someone.
These Cordyceps were collected by the villagers of Obacuo, but they didn't expect that they were sold out at once, but also sold at a rare high price.
You should know that although the price given by Mr. Basangjianzan was one level lower than the price in the market, that is, the first-level grass was sold at the market price of the second-level grass, and the second-level grass was sold at the price of the third-level grass on the market, the price was far beyond the purchase price of the drug dealer.
To put it no exaggeration, the price of these three kilograms of Cordyceps sold is almost the same as the price of selling seven or even eight kilograms of Cordyceps from a drug dealer!
It is difficult to dig Cordyceps today. Although there are still many Cordyceps in the pastures, with the continuous degradation of the pastures in recent years and with the changes in the climate and environment, Cordyceps is becoming increasingly difficult to dig.
More than ten years ago, it was easier for an experienced herdsman or child to dig forty or even sixty or seventy cordyceps a day. Yes, the main force in digging Cordyceps every year also includes children at home.
In many areas of the plateau, especially in northern Tibet, schools place special "corn grass vacation" every year to let children go home to dig Cordyceps.
The reason for such a holiday is due to many reasons.
The main reason is the soaring price of Cordyceps.
In the 1960s, a kilogram of Cordyceps on the plateau could only exchange for two packs of cigarettes with a unit price of 30 cents; in the 1970s, the national purchase price of Cordyceps was only 21 yuan per kilogram; by the mid-1990s, the price of Cordyceps was about 2,000 yuan per kilogram; and in the new century, the price of Cordyceps had reached 100,000 yuan per kilogram; the price of Cordyceps had increased fifty times in ten years! Now, the price of one kilogram of Grade One Grass is close to 300,000 yuan!
The soaring price of Cordyceps has formed a "cordyceps economy" on the plateau. Some local farmers and herdsmen who had no habit of collecting Cordyceps on a large scale in the past have also gradually joined the mining army.
Cordyceps is low in cost and high profits. Even if a person digs only ten Cordyceps a day? Calculate based on the current price? You can buy at least more than 2,000 yuan!
It is precisely because of the soaring price of Cordyceps that Tibetans have seen a channel for getting rich that more and more people have begun to dig out Cordyceps. For example, in Quka County, there are a total of 40,000 people. After the Cordyceps collection season arrives in May and June every year, more than 20,000 people lock the door? They ride horses and carry tents into the mountain? They go there for fifty or sixty days.
Because the peak season for digging Cordyceps is in May and June of each year, and only about fifty days. During this period, farmers and herdsmen went up the mountain with their families, and no one took care of the children who went to school. Moreover, the head exposed by Cordyceps is very small, so the children have good eyesight? They dig a lot. More than ten years ago, a "experienced" elementary school student could dig out nearly a hundred Cordyceps every day!
In this way, the school will inevitably make way for the "cordyceps economy"? This has led to the children in the family becoming the main force in digging Cordyceps!
The tools used to dig Cordyceps are usually dedicated trowels and shovels. After discovering Cordyceps, in order not to damage the insect body, people dig out the surrounding turf and soil together.
In the past, when people dig Cordyceps, they had to leave some seeds for seeds, and they didn't dig them all at once. But now people want to dig out all the Cordyceps all at once. Few people will backfilling the turf and soil. In this way, digging a Cordyceps will destroy at least about 30 square centimeters of turf. However, the area of the cart is trampled during the mining process is even larger.
In this way, vegetation was destroyed during the process of digging Cordyceps, and the holes left by thousands of people dig greatly accelerated the speed of soil erosion during the rainy season.
This is also the main reason why it has become more and more difficult to dig Cordyceps over the years.
Now, even if it is a "experienced" elementary school student, it is amazing to be able to dig twenty or thirty cordyceps a day!
However, the situation in Yubacuo is much better. After all, the areas where Cordyceps are abundant here are almost all grasslands for the herdsmen in the village. And there is also a very visionary old man named Basang Jianzan in the village.
The old man is very good at protecting water and soil and Cordyceps. He strictly ordered villagers to pay attention to protecting water and soil when digging Cordyceps, and would not use the "broken son and grandson" excavation method. Therefore, every year, the Russian Bacuo can always collect Cordyceps of good quality.
But again, it is an indisputable fact that the number of cordyceps has decreased every year.
The old man didn't expect that Lao Liu would sell all the inventory in the village at one time, and also sell it at a high price, so that when digging Cordyceps next year, you can control the quantity, so as to protect the Cordyceps growth environment here as much as possible.
Since all the Cordyceps have been sold and the price has been sold at a high price, the old man naturally has to gather all the villagers to celebrate.
Anyway, the villagers in the village are nothing to do now, and the cattle and sheep have all transferred to the site. Now the villagers either go to Rikkong City to worship, or are circling mountains and rivers, or helping with the starry sky house.
I can take this opportunity to thank Boss Xiao Liu...
There are six administrative villages in Zhongning Township, which are composed of dozens of natural villages. Yubacuo is one of the natural villages with 18 herdersmen. This scale is also relatively large among the natural villages in Zhongning Township.
In addition to the villagers who went to Nikko City to pay homage to the butter and went to the north of the mountain to turn around the lake, the other villagers came back excitedly after hearing the call of Mr. Basang Jianzan.
The Cordyceps placed in Boss Xiao Liu sold nearly 560,000 yuan, and the average family was more than 30,000 yuan, which was a lot of income.
However, as the protagonist of this incident, Lao Liu did not have the opportunity to participate in this celebration.
Because of Li Junyi, Rene Liu, Shi Qiang and Cai Jintao drove two cars to the door.
"Angzi, we received a message for help this morning. Two cars and seven people entered the unmanned land on the north side of Shuanghu. They got lost. Two of them had serious altitude recurrence. Moreover, both cars broke down. They called for help once on satellite phone, but when they contacted them again, they could no longer contact them. Now a rescue team has been dispatched on the Hei Shui side, and the rescue team of Hei Shui has also contacted our Sunshine City Blue Sky Rescue Team. I hope we can assist in the search and rescue of these seven temporarily lost tourists."
After meeting Liu Mo'ang, Li Junyi did not vaguely and directly expressed his purpose for coming here. All four of them were wearing the uniforms of the Blue Sky Rescue Team.
"Lost contact?" Old Liu scratched his scalp, and found it a bit tricky.
Shi Qiang nodded and said, "That's right, I'm in a state of losing contact now."
Li Junyi asked: "Can you follow me? To be precise, we need your Xiaolong. It's okay to say that in the summer of Shuanghu, but now we go there, there is no car with super off-road capabilities, so we dare not run."
Rene Liu responded: "If we just went to Shuanghu County, it would be easy to say. Although the road conditions there were not very good, there was a road at least. But the problem was that the seven people went to the unmanned area north of the county. In this kind of weather, even Brother Cai's Raptors would not dare to enter easily."
Old Liu hesitated and asked, "Brother Yi, have you been to Shuanghu before?"
All four nodded, and Li Junyi said, "I have been there, but they are all in summer, and we have never been there in winter."
"Then if we go, how likely is it to rescue those seven people?"
"It's hard to say, and no one knows what their situation is now. But what I can guarantee is that our safety is fine. Because we are working with the rescue team on the Hei Shui side. If something really goes wrong, the troops on the Hei Shui side will dispatch helicopters."
This made Old Liu feel a little relieved. He turned his head to look at Chu Qian, but found that Chu Qian's eyes were lit.
Chu Qian gently pulled Lao Liu and whispered in his ear: "Let's go, let's go together!" Although it was a tone of request, she was very firm.
"Okay!" Old Liu just hesitated for a moment and agreed.
In fact, even if Chu Qian doesn't say it, Lao Liu is going to make a trip. Since he has joined the Sunshine City Blue Sky Rescue Team, when the rescue team needs him, he has to show the attitude he should have.
Moreover, Lao Liu's heart that was prone to turmoil did not allow him to stay in the inn.
"Okay, then you hurry up and clean up, let's set off now. Time is tight, saving people is important. It takes at least ten hours to travel from here to Shuanghu County, so we must hurry up and get off." Li Junyi was also not vague.
Old Liu nodded and turned to the stairs to clean up things.
Although it is a rescue, you must bring all your own equipment. Shuanghu Lake, especially the north of Shuanghu Lake, is a truly unmanned land. The hinterland of Kekexili is located in the north of Shuanghu Lake, which is also the hinterland of the Qiangtang Plateau.
The things are ready-made and they are ready soon.
But equipment alone is not good, and other things must be prepared.
Old Liu called Danzengwangmu over. He, the boss, was about to leave, and someone had to stare at the bar at the inn. Danzengwangmu was the most suitable person to play this role.
In fact, if Chu Qian didn't follow her, she would be the real boss's wife. But the problem is that Lao Liu knew very well that her wife, as she looked quiet, was even more turbulent than Lao Liu. If she dared not let her go, Lao Liu would probably run back to Hangzhou when she came back.
Old Liu called Tian Peng over again. When Tian Peng heard about this, he turned his head and left without saying a word. In a short while, the guy came with two big bags.
"I'll go with you too. If there are any minor problems with your car along the way, I can solve it! My buddy is professional!"
Anyway, the car is big enough, so it's okay for Tian Peng to go. However, because Lao Liu has only two sets of team uniforms for Tian Peng to wear, Chu Qian can't wear them.
This is not a problem. Chu Qian herself is not even a reserve member, and she cannot wear a uniform. Tian Peng is still a reserve member at least.
Half an hour later, three cars and seven people were ready to go.
The white lion naturally lay in the trunk of the Xiaolong, but before leaving, Lao Liu suddenly felt that he should take the dumplings with him, so he blew a whistle regardless of everyone's strange gaze.
The next moment, the eyes of Li Junyi and the other four completely turned into envy.
"Damn, Angzi, when did you get a golden eagle? This is a national protected animal."
After putting the dumplings in the back seat, Lao Liu shrugged and said, "A few months ago, a Tibetan croaker saved a golden eagle bird on the side of Panna. It was this guy. At that time, this guy was about to die, so I saved it. After taking it back to the inn, I wanted to wait for it to grow up and send it to the relevant department. But I didn't expect that this guy lives well here and learned to hunt, so I let it live here. Oh, by the way, I gave this guy a name, dumplings!"
"Jiaozi? What's the hell name?" Li Junyi was stunned, causing Jiaozi to rattle at him twice.
The back seat of the Xiaolong is big enough, so there is no problem lying on the dumplings.
When there is a road, dumplings follow the car. After entering the sandy road, you can release the dumplings and follow them in the sky.
Of course, they also loaded a lot of supplies before leaving. Cai Jintao's Raptor F150's rear bucket is big enough to put down a lot of things.
There are two spare oil barrels on his car, one filled with gasoline and the other filled with diesel. The plateau is very strict with refueling, and it is basically impossible for ordinary people to refuel extra. However, when the Sunshine City Blue Sky Rescue Team is carrying out rescue missions, they can use relevant proof to refuel extra at Sinopec's gas station.
After all, once the rescue mission is carried out, people know how many miles their cars will run. Just like this time, they entered the unmanned area in the north of Shuanghu to perform rescue missions. If they don’t bring extra fuel, their cars might break down on the road because they don’t have oil.
"Brother Yi, why did Brother Cai come with you if you have time?"
"He happened to take annual leave, but after just one day off, he encountered this. He insisted on following him."
Four cars ran along National Highway 109 to Dangquka County Cheng, filled the car with oil at a Sinopec gas station, and then used the certificate to fill the two spare oil barrels, the car turned directly on the road that Lao Liu had walked to Namcuo.
Chapter completed!
