Chapter 450: The Enthusiastic Batie Brothers
After stretching their muscles and doing physical training with Phuntsok Tashi for about two hours, the two finally stopped and went to the hotel spa for a sauna and a comfortable bath.
“The environment here feels very good, and the supporting facilities are quite complete. I didn’t expect that the per capita income here is so low, but the quality of this hotel is not low at all.”
Chen Mu soaked in the hot water pool and said to Phuntsok Tashi with a smile.
Phuntsok Tashi washed his face and said: "The per capita income in Pakistan is not high, but there are places with high consumption. Our hotel is not expensive. It costs 1,500 per night, which is equivalent to a month for the brothers from Pakistan."
The income, you can imagine.”
"1500?"
Chen Mu was stunned. He had searched on the Internet and said that consumption in Pakistan was low, but looking at it now, it was not low at all.
After thinking for a while, he asked: "Are there no cheap hotels? Are they all so expensive?"
Phuntsok Tashi explained: "There are also ordinary and cheaper hotels, but many of them will say that we Xia people are distinguished guests, and their hotels are not allowed to receive them... Well, in fact, they are afraid that something will happen to us when we stay at their place.
If something really happens, he will be held accountable by the government."
After a slight pause, Phuntsok Tashi smiled and said: "Anyway, you are a big customer of our company. I am too lazy to ask about other cheap hotels. This one is the best."
Chen Mu was speechless.
You taste it, you taste it carefully.
I feel like what this guy means is: you pay anyway, so of course you choose the more expensive one.
After being depressed for a while, Chen Mu finally figured it out.
After all, I have paid so much money. If I still stay in such a bad hotel, wouldn’t I be losing money?
So, if you can enjoy it, enjoy it. The money will be spent as if it is no longer yours... Hum, you don't have to spend your own money... Once your thinking changes, everything becomes smoother and you feel at ease.
After practicing on the first day, even though I stretched afterwards, when I woke up the next day, my muscles still felt a little sore and I felt a little tired.
Phuntsok Tashi took Chen Mu swimming, saying that he could use the buoyancy in the water to relax his body.
Anyway, Chen Mu didn’t understand. It sounded very professional and high-level, so he followed suit.
In the afternoon, the things Phuntsok Tashi ordered for him were sent over, including jackets, down jackets, fleece, underwear, hiking pants... and the like, complete with shoes and socks, backpacks, walking sticks, glasses, etc.
.
"I have prepared all the other mountaineering equipment and have stored it in Skardu. We can set off when we go there tomorrow."
Phuntsok Tashi demonstrated to Chen Mu how to put on clothes, pants, shoes and socks, how to use a tent and sleeping bag, and how to pack and put them away. Chen Mu had to do it all, and then he said: "These things will be done next."
You will basically do it every day, so you will quickly become proficient in it. You don’t have to remember it specially. You regard it as a part of your life, so you will remember it more firmly.”
Chen Mu didn't expect that putting on clothes, pulling up a tent, opening a sleeping bag... there were so many things to pay attention to, and even choosing a pair of shoes had to be waterproof and breathable.
To be honest, he really didn't understand how he could breathe since it was waterproof. It didn't matter if he didn't understand it anyway. After asking Phuntsok Tashi the price of these things, he understood why it was so good.
In the evening, Phuntsok Tashi took Chen Mu out for a big meal.
"This may be the best meal you will have in the next two months, so enjoy it."
After Phuntsok Tashi sat down in a... well, it looked like an expensive restaurant, he quickly placed his order and then said something joking.
Chen Mu also took a look at the menu. There were instructions in both Pakistani and English. Although he could understand the English, the instructions directly listed the ingredients of the food, and he couldn't tell what was being made.
So Chen Mu could only look at the price.
The price is in rupees, and the exchange rate between rupees and people is about 16:1, that is, one yuan in RMB is equivalent to 16 rupees. This number is quite difficult to eliminate. Anyway, each dish costs hundreds or thousands. Based on this
Considering my income level, it is quite expensive.
After a while, things were delivered one after another.
Phuntsok Tashi began to transform into a gourmet expert and introduced Chen Mu enthusiastically: "This prata pancake is considered breakfast for Pakistani people, but it is relatively famous, so I ordered it for you to try. There are two kinds, with and without fillings.
The stuffing is filled with spicy potatoes, and you could have chosen to add chopped chickpeas, but I think spicy potatoes are more delicious, so I didn’t ask for it.”
"This is Kashmiri milk tea. You said you like sweet, so I ordered sweet for you. Mine is salty."
"This is potato stew with mutton. This dish best represents the food flavor of Pakistani people. Its main ingredients are potatoes, tomatoes, and mutton. It is seasoned with bay leaves, cinnamon, masala, cardamom, ginger and onions. You can add it with
Eat it with rice or naan, it tastes very good, I personally highly recommend it.”
"This is Baka Baka, known as the Pakistani burger. Try it. It's just bread filled with chicken or beef and mutton skewers, and some side dishes. Try something new."
"There is also paaya braised lamb's trotters, which is a more grand dish. Among the things we ordered today, it is the most expensive. Well, do you know how much it costs to eat a sheep in Pakistan? Let me tell you, 6,000, so this dish is really
It’s not cheap, but the prices here are very reasonable.”
"This, Punjabi prawn, is a famous dish in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The prawn is cooked with yogurt, chili powder, turmeric powder, fennel seeds, etc. It tastes good, but I feel that the original taste of the prawn has been overturned.
It's a pity that it was covered up..."
Phuntsok Tashi Balabala was talking, but his eating speed was not slow at all.
It seems that it is really the same as what Phuntsog Tashi mentioned before. These mountain climbers stay in the mountains all year round and cannot eat good food, so they have developed a habit of eating as much as they can and enjoying the food as long as there is delicious food.
Chen Mu is a fan of milk tea, so he first picked up the cup of Kashmiri milk tea and took a sip.
Yes, Not Bad.
It seems that except for butter tea, there is basically no milk tea that he is not used to drinking.
Of course, it is best to drink milk tea sweet, just like it is best to drink sweet soy milk, and it is best to drink sweet tofu nao.
He can also accept salty milk tea, but it just feels... um.
Therefore, he does not agree with Phuntsok Tashi, a gourmet expert. He doesn’t even know how to drink milk tea sweetly. How can he be considered a gourmet expert?
This meal was very filling, and I was a little stuffed when I paid the bill.
When I returned to the hotel, I walked back.
After dark, the streets seem less lively.
Chen Mu noticed that there were not many cars on the road, but there were fewer pedestrians.
The two of them were walking when suddenly two men in uniforms appeared from an alley next to them, both holding dicks in their hands.
Chen Mu couldn't quite tell whether this was a soldier, a policeman, or something else. When he saw the guy in their hands, he subconsciously felt a little nervous.
Phuntsog Tashi turned around and gave him a "don't worry" look, and started talking to the two uniformed baties.
Phuntsok Tashi's words were a little bumpy, but he was obviously able to communicate with the other party. The two people looked at Chen Mu, and began to smile on their faces. After saying a few words to Phuntsok Tashi
, he picked up the walkie-talkie and started talking to the other end.
Although Chen Mu was relaxed, he was still secretly on guard and asked Phuntsok Tashi in a low voice: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Phuntsok Tashi smiled and said: "It's okay, just relax."
Chen Mu still looked at him in confusion, and he explained: "They are patrolling police, similar to our armed police. They saw us walking on the road so late at night, so we came to check."
After a slight pause, he smiled bitterly and said: "The main reason is that I look too dark, which has caused trouble for you. Now they know that we are from Xia country, so they are worried that we are in danger, and are contacting someone to escort us back to the hotel."
"Is it that dangerous here?"
Chen Mu was surprised and couldn't help but glance at the guy with two iron hands. That was a**k. Do people patrol like this under normal circumstances? Is that too exaggerated?
Phuntsok Tashi explained: "Actually, it is very safe here, but they are afraid of something happening at night, and they are especially afraid of something happening to us... Well, this is the benefit of our motherland becoming stronger. If something happens to us Xia people, this
The matter is related to damaging the friendship between the two countries, so generally speaking, the Pakistani brothers will try their best to protect us."
Chen Mu finally understood and could only wait.
The two soldiers were quite interesting. After talking to the walkie-talkie, one of them smiled and came over to talk.
Phuntsok Tashi responded with a few words, and then returned to Chen Mu and said: "They said they wanted to take a photo with us, are you okay?"
"group photo?"
Chen Mu was shocked.
What the hell is a group photo?
Do you think I can take photos with random people?
After taking a look at the a**k in the hands of the two iron brothers, Chen Mu nodded happily: "No problem."
Then, Phuntsok Tashi and Chen Mu stood in the middle, and the two Pakistani brothers stood on both sides, taking a group photo together.
Chen Mu noticed that the two Bati brothers were each holding a mobile phone to take pictures. One of them was an old Huawei, and the screen was cracked. The other was holding a mobile phone that looked like an Apple, but the Apple logo was not bitten at all.
At first glance, it looks like a domestic copycat.
After taking the photo, the two Bati brothers shook hands with Phuntsok Tashi and Chen Mu respectively and had a chat.
Phuntsok Tashi translated the message to the effect: "They said they are very happy that we can come to *** Fort as guests. They hope that everything will go well for us and that we will come more often in the future."
Chen Mu couldn't help but secretly admired, the Batie brothers really regarded us Xia people as brothers, but we only regarded them as Asan. Alas, this is not a good thing, it can easily colden people's hearts.
After a while, two other people came, also the Batie brothers in uniform.
The two Bati brothers, Chen Mu, and Phuntsok Tashi waved goodbye and hid in the alley next to the road.
Chen Mu and Phuntsok Tashi returned to the hotel under the escort of the two newly arrived Bati brothers.
Chen Mu originally wanted to pay for two fifty yuan bills, but he refused to accept them. He shook his head like a drum, turned around and hurried away without even saying to leave his name.
