Chapter 30 Sand Cart
After having the yaks sent by Ma Suifeng and others, Cai Hongming picked out a few large and strong yaks from them and asked Ji Dong and others to take a bath and feed them.
Shi Wan'er's grandfather's scammers are not a matter of one person. He must find someone to cooperate, otherwise he will not know if he is humble. So he asked Ji Dong and others to get familiar with the yaks he was about to ride faster, feeding and bathing are undoubtedly the fastest choices.
A few days later, the Grand Secretary and Liu Chong, who had almost received treatment, returned from the county.
The fat man Liu Chong fell in love with the big yak who was still recovering from his injuries at first sight. He felt that this guy was stupid, so he named it "Benben" and planned to ride it to participate in the Diao Sheep Competition. His plan was good, but unfortunately it was useless, because Benben's injury could not be cured in a short time. It would take a long time to recuperate, and it is estimated that it will not take until next year to carry people.
Benben's original owner Lian Dacheng felt very comforted to see that the big yak's foot injury could be really cured. He was about to go back after staying in Xidu Shengjing for a few days.
Seeing that he was a yak-raising expert, Cai Hongming asked him to stay and help take care of the yaks.
Even Dacheng's wife has passed, and his son and daughter have already become a family. Now he is free of worries. He heard his invitation and thought about it and stayed there. Here, there are people taking care of food and accommodation, and there are also elderly people such as the Third Master, the Fifth Master, the Bagong, and other elderly people accompanying each other to chat. It is much better than at home, so it would be strange if he doesn't want to.
In the Xidu Shengjing, the Grand Secretary's leg injury has not been healed. Liu Chong was too fat. The big yak he could ride had not healed yet. So only Ji Dong, Murong Hua, Li Chun, Pan Haimin, Chen Dashan and other five people could go to Xijiang to participate in Shi Wan'er's grandfather's Scream Sheep Competition. The number of people participating in the Scream Sheep Competition is at least a dozen, and they plus Cai Hongming's total of six people are obviously not enough. However, someone should be added there. But after all, they are not their own people. Who knows whether they will slack down and drag their legs, so everything depends on themselves.
Therefore, for the next period of time, the six of them were trained every day on yaks that were cared for by Cai Hongming.
Lian Dacheng was free and wandering around. By chance, he saw them practicing scheming like crazy sheep outside, and he was really nonsense and criticized their practice method so much that he was nothing.
Cai Hongming and others looked at each other after hearing this, not knowing why. Isn’t it all the same for Diaoyang? Anyway, I will win if I grab it.
"You really think that just grab the sheep? I have participated in the sheep countless times. I have never heard of just grab the sheep, especially if you only have a few people, you want to grab the sheep from others. My grandson said: "Know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." You don't even know the strength of your opponent. Just want to win. It's just a dream."
Wow, this old man also knows Sun Tzu's Art of War?
As if I noticed their thoughts, Lian Dacheng said dissatisfiedly: "Why? I don't like it. I know my grandson. After all, I graduated from elementary school. If it weren't for the poor family, I would be very good at going to college."
You didn’t know if there was a university at that time?
Of course, Cai Hongming and others only dared to think about these words in their hearts.
"The scammer is actually a collision of strength and wisdom. It not only uses stupid power, but also uses your head. If you practice, you must become a whole, like a sharp knife, rushing straight to the opponent's camp and snatching the lamb. When one person grabs the sheep, the others must immediately rush over and protect him tightly and rush to the finish line together. During this period, you must also prevent those people from running to the finish line and gathering to block the road ahead."
Jiang is worthy of being old. Even Dacheng participated in the scammers countless times when he was young. Now he tells them one by one, which makes Cai Hongming and others suddenly understand.
Next, Cai Hongming asked him to come and guide him. With the help of the old man, they had a deep understanding of both riding and the event.
After almost half a month of this, it was finally time to participate in the scammering sheep competition held by Shi Wan'er's grandfather to celebrate the grape harvest.
His grandfather is a Tajik tribe. Most of the Tajik people live in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County, and Shache, Zepu, Baicheng at the foot of Karakoram Mountain. Shi Wan'er's grandfather lives in a mountain village next to Shache County. When you get there, you can take the train, but you have to transfer twice in the middle and take more than two days.
The time was too long, and people and yaks could not pass together. If an accident occurred in the middle, there was no way to handle it immediately, so Cai Hongming gave up.
It's okay to drive by himself, but it's more than 2,000 kilometers there, and most of the places in the middle of the journey have no highways. It takes at least three or four days to get there. It's too slow and very tiring, so he doesn't like it either. In the end, he can only take a plane to Kashgar and change the car. However, Wuwei didn't have a plane to Kashgar, so he could only fly to Lanzhou first and then transfer, which was very troublesome. In the end, Cai Hongming simply chartered the plane to save trouble. Fortunately, he still had some money, otherwise he would have floated away tens of thousands of yuan in a blink of an eye.
There are a lot of cargo procedures for livestock by plane, requiring quarantine certificates at or above the county level, etc. Fortunately, Cai Hongming's father-in-law is still in the city, otherwise he would have to be busy. Even so, he was busy for three days.
After finishing his work, he prepared some food for yaks to avoid being unacceptable to the local conditions. Cai Hongming himself secretly stuffed some emergency plasters, medicines, food, daily necessities and other items into the cave world in the jade tripod, and then got on the plane and headed towards the sand truck.
Shache is a place with a long history. It was originally one of the countries under the Protectorate of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, which is the capital of Shache Kingdom.
This was once the key to the southern end of the ancient "Silk Road", located on the western edge of the Tarim Basin in the Western Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. On the side is the towering Kunlun, the place of death Lop Nur, and the famous Takramakan Desert.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shache was also called Qusha Kingdom. The Sui Dynasty, from Tang Dynasty to Song Dynasty were merged into Khotan (now the Hotan area). The Yuan Dynasty was called Yaerkan. The Ming Dynasty was called Yarkan. The Qing Dynasty established Shache Zhili Prefecture and later promoted the mansion, which governed Puli Hall and Bachuzhou, and established Shache City. The Qing Dynasty successively built two new and old cities. The old city was named Yarkan, commonly known as Huicheng, and the new city was named Shache, commonly known as Seoul.
After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Shache County was established, which was still under the jurisdiction of Kashgardao.
(1928), Shache was classified as Shache and Yarkand counties. (1942), the Xijiang Provincial Government decided to merge the two counties and set up the 10th District Chief Executive Office in Shache, and later changed to the Shache Administrative Inspector Office, which was under the jurisdiction of Shache, Zepu, Yecheng and Maigaiti. Until the peaceful liberation of Western Xinjiang on September 25, 1949, Shache was the location of the special agency. On April 21, 1956, Shache was abolished and Shache County was affiliated with Kashgar District.
Nowadays, the sand cart is the famous home of Badanmu (almond nuts). Whenever the flowers bloom, tourists from all over the world come here to appreciate it.
By then, the Badan wood flowers all over the mountains and wilderness were all charming, and Tajik and Uyghur girls dressed up in costume and danced among the flowers, like butterflies roaming, which was so beautiful that they made people nostalgic.
ps: I know it's a scam recently, but it's the end of the year, so I can't help it. (To be continued...)
