Chapter 542: Snowy Plateau

Lin Yue'e originally wanted to send Xia Rufei out, but Xia Rufei refused firmly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are busy with so many things at home, so don't worry about me. Can I still get lost as a young man as young as me?"

After saying that, Xia Rufei patted Nan Nan's head gently and left the Luo family's old house with a bag.

Originally, Xia Ruofei wanted to walk outside to the road and stop a car, but he didn't have much farther out of the Luo family, and there was a thud of engine sound from behind.

A tractor stopped beside him, and a villager asked enthusiastically: "Mr. Xia, where are you going?"

Xia Rufei didn't know this villager, but he knew that this person should have been involved in the surround of Huang Zhenyu and the other two at the door of Luo's house in the morning, otherwise he would not have known him.

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I'm going back and I'll go to the town to rent a car first."

"Come on! I just happened to go to the town to buy fertilizer and give you a ride!" the villager said with a smile.

"Okay! Thank you then!"

Without having to walk by himself, Xia Rufei naturally wanted to do so. He gently supported himself with one hand and got on the back of the tractor. The villagers laughed and started the tractor again.

There were also some straws in the car. Xia Rufei put his backpack behind his head and lay on his back comfortably. Looking at the blue sky, he felt a little proud in his heart. It seemed that in just two days, his prestige in Luoshan Village was already quite high.

The road was a bit bumpy, but Xia Rufei was lying on the thick straw, swaying and feeling very leisurely.

I soon arrived in the town, and the villagers enthusiastically sent Xia Rufei to a taxi stop at the bridgehead.

Many people in small places were very familiar with each other. The villager first asked Xia Rufei. After learning that he was going to the provincial capital Yuzhang, he went to find a familiar driver and quickly negotiated for Xia Rufei to get to Yuzhang for a total of 500 yuan.

This is indeed much cheaper than Xia Rufei's chartered car from the provincial capital.

Xia Ruofei smiled and expressed his gratitude to the villagers, then got into the taxi and headed towards the provincial capital Yuzhang.

Most of the areas in Ganjiang Province are mountainous areas, and the roads are not easy to walk.

It was not until the night fell that Xia Rufei returned to the provincial capital Yuzhang.

He asked the driver to take him to a Shangri-La hotel in the city, paid the fare, and then carried his bag to the hotel to open a room.

Yuzhang's economy is not as good as that of developed coastal cities. Although Shangri-La here is also a five-star standard, an ordinary large-bed room only costs more than 800 yuan. For Xia Rufei now, this level of consumption will naturally not be taken seriously.

He went to the room and took a shower happily, then comfortably went to the soft big bed, feeling all his fatigue swept away.

Xia Rufei lay down for a while before taking out his cell phone and starting to check the air ticket information online.

Soon he booked a flight ticket from Yuzhang to Lhasa, Tibet at around 10 am tomorrow morning.

Then Xia Rufei called the front desk again and booked a taxi at around 8:30.

The next morning, after Xia Rufei had breakfast in the hotel buffet restaurant, he took a taxi to Changbei International Airport in Yuzhang City and successfully boarded a flight to the Snowy Plateau.

However, there is no direct flight from Yuzhang to Lhasa. The flight Xia Rufei took was stopped in Xi'an. After staying at Xianyang International Airport for more than two hours, he boarded again.

When he took off in Xi'an, he encountered flow control. Xia Rufei waited on the plane for more than an hour. When he finally arrived at Gongga International Airport in Lhasa, it was around 8 o'clock that night.

All this day is spent on the road.

Before coming, Xia Rufei had already checked the Internet. The latest train from Lhasa to Nagqu was at 6:20 pm, so he could only stay in Lhasa for one night.

When the transportation is not developed, Xia Rufei can do nothing.

He took a taxi to a four-star hotel near the train station and stayed for one night. He also booked the earliest train ticket to Nagqu the next day.

At 8:50 the next morning, the train Xia Rufei was riding slowly started and headed towards Naqu, where he was traveling.

The train was driving on the plateau, and the blue sky was filled with the scenery along the way was fascinating.

Sometimes the trains intersect with the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. Xia Ruofei could see many hikers riding on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, cheering and waving in the direction where the train passed.

Taking the train on this plateau with almost no pollution, looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance that never melted all year round, Xia Rufei felt that his mind seemed to have suddenly become much wider.

After a three and a half hours journey, Xia Rufei finally arrived in Naqu County.

Xia Rufei walked out of the simple train station with a simple luggage. At this time, he was wearing a windbreaker, a pair of hiking shoes, a canvas backpack casually on his body, and sunglasses necessary for walking on the plateau, looking like an ordinary backpacker.

Xia Ruofei found a small restaurant in the county town for lunch, and then started wandering around the county town with a canvas bag on his back.

Naqu County is a nationally famous Cordyceps sinensis production area. There are also many places in the county that sell Cordyceps sinensis. There are almost all signs such as "Premium Cordyceps sinensis" hanging on the shops in a row of streets.

Xia Rufei is not familiar with Cordyceps sinensis, so he naturally does not know how to identify it, but he has his own way.

Before Xia Rufei left the door, she took a lot of cash from the space and put it in her bag. Xia Rufei always kept a lot of cash in the space. In addition to no interest, the security and privacy are undoubtedly greater than any bank in the world.

Xia Ruofei, who had a lot of money in his pocket, wandered around Naqu County. After most of the day, every shop selling Cordyceps sinensis, no matter how big or small it was, even if it was a small stall, Xia Ruofei would go over to chat and then buy a small amount of Cordyceps sinensis.

Xia Rufei's performance is no different from that of ordinary foreign tourists. He went around this stall and went around the store, and bought some things with the caution of foreigners, and he didn't buy much.

However, no one noticed that Xia Rufei would disappear strangely after putting the Cordyceps sinensis he bought into a canvas bag.

In fact, Xia Rufei sent Cordyceps sinensis into the spiritual map space.

Xia Rufei doesn’t understand Cordyceps sinensis, but Xia Qing understands it!

Cordyceps sinensis, as a precious Chinese herbal medicine, has its effects described in "Compendium of Materia Medica". The Lingtu Space itself is a planting spiritual herb. Xia Qing, as a spiritual puppet that specializes in serving the Lingtu Space, is naturally very clear about the identification of Cordyceps sinensis.

In fact, from the perspective of spiritual herbs and herbs, Cordyceps sinensis is just a low-end medicinal material, but a more high-end medicinal material. Xia Rufei has never even heard of the name.

It is estimated that on today's earth, those spiritual herbs that Xia Rufei didn't know their names were extremely rare even if they exist and must be encountered but hard to find.

Whenever Xia Rufei sends a piece of Cordyceps sinensis in, he will communicate with Xia Qing using his spiritual thoughts. He will number the Cordyceps sinensis in the space, record the name of the store where the Cordyceps sinensis was purchased, and then identify it.

Finally, let’s sort all Cordyceps sinensis in order, and Xia Rufei can easily determine which store’s Cordyceps sinensis has high quality and reasonable prices.

Xia Rufei hopes to find a business with honest management and good things through such a stupid method, and then proceed to the next step.

In this way, Xia Rufei spent the whole afternoon wandering around Naqu County, but in fact he was inquiring about information.

There is no way to do this. Xia Rufei could not introduce him through an acquaintance and go straight to the destination. If the situation is not familiar, this may also be a good idea.

Soon, Xia Rufei left twenty or thirty stores selling Cordyceps sinensis, and each store bought a small portion and sent it into the Lingtu space as a sample.

Until the sun set, Xia Rufei felt that he had almost walked the spots for selling Cordyceps sinensis in the county, so he was about to find a hotel to live in.

Just as Xia Rufei walked out of the last shop, he felt someone behind him seemed to be following him. Although the streets were bustling in the evening, the sixth sense of the special forces elite was very keen.

Xia Rufei frowned slightly and slowly accelerated his pace forward.

He wanted to test what the person following behind him was for.

Xia Rufei didn't expect that the man did not hide it, so he immediately followed quickly and shouted in a low voice: "Sir, please wait!"

Xia Rufei stopped and turned around, and saw a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old walking towards him. The boy was thin and thin, with the Tibetan iconic plateau red on his face, and his clothes looked a little worn.

Xia Rufei pointed at himself and asked, "Are you calling me?"

The Tibetan child nodded quickly and said in broken Chinese: "Sir, can you speak with one step?"

Xia Rufei frowned slightly. If anyone from other places had come to a Tibetan area where he was unfamiliar with his place, he would definitely not agree at this time. However, Xia Rufei was very skilled and brave, and he was not worried that such a child would be detrimental to him.

He nodded after a moment of contemplation. The Tibetan child immediately led the way in front and led Xia Ruofei through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at a secluded place.

Xia Ruofei stopped and asked, "What's the matter? You should be able to say it now?"

After the Tibetan child was away from the block, he obviously breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and asked, "Sir, do you want to buy Cordyceps sinensis?"

Xia Ruofei squinted his eyes and looked at the Tibetan child and said, "Are you following me?"

The Tibetan child hurriedly said, "No! No! Sir, don't get me wrong. I saw you come out of several Cordyceps shops on that street, and you buy a little bit every time. I guess you must be conducting a market inspection!"

Xia Rufei couldn't help but smile and said, "The observation was quite detailed... You guessed it right! But... you called me here, would you say that there is Cordyceps for sale here?"

The Tibetan children nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, sir, in fact, most of the shops on that street are controlled by people from Tashi Dorji. The Cordyceps they sell are similar. Not only are the price expensive, but the things are not authentic. Moreover, when they see foreign customers, they often use inferior products as good ones, using some shabby grass, broken grass, and hollow grass to pretend to be first-class products."

Xia Rufei looked at the Tibetan children calmly and waited for him to continue talking.

In fact, Xia Rufei nodded secretly in his heart. After Xia Qing's identification, most of the Cordyceps sinensis he bought in the afternoon were of very poor quality. There were even several stores selling counterfeit products, which had no ingredients in Cordyceps sinensis at all.

This also made Xia Rufei smile secretly. No wonder people nowadays are full of suspicion. Now, no matter what foods they eat, milk they drink, or clothes they wear... whatever benefits can be filled with all kinds of fakes.

This time, Xia Rufei came to one of the main production areas of Cordyceps sinensis, and unexpectedly, the things he bought were still like this.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for a foreigner who doesn’t understand Cordyceps to come here if he comes here to buy authentic high-quality Cordyceps.

The Tibetan child was also secretly observing Xia Rufei's face, but Xia Rufei did not express anything. He felt that Xia Rufei seemed to be a little unbelievable, and swallowed his saliva and continued: "Sir, Zhaxi Duoji almost monopolized the Cordyceps market in Nagqu. Even if other straw diggers have good goods, they dare not sell it to you!"

Xia Ruofei looked at the Tibetan child with a smile and asked, "It sounds like this Tashi Doji looks very powerful?"

"He is a demon!" said the Tibetan child gritted his teeth, "The Cordyceps collected by the straw digger through a lot of hardships and even risked his life. He relied on his own power to acquire it at a very low price every time. Those who dared to resist him were beaten very badly by him..."

"Then you dare to sell me Cordyceps?" Xia Ruofei asked with a faint smile.

The Tibetan child said, "Because I need money in particular now! Sir, I didn't dare to call you on the Cordyceps street just now, but followed you secretly, for fear of being discovered by the people of Tashi Dorji. Sir, my father met Canglang at the foot of the snow-capped mountain in order to collect Cordyceps. In order to escape Canglang's pursuit, he fell off the cliff and broke one leg. I had to take the risk to cure his injuries."

The Tibetan child looked sad, and anyone could not help but feel pity when he saw it, but Xia Rufei was still in the ancient well and his expression was very dull.

He knew that many scams now originated from a performance that was full of passion and emotion, and many people were involved in this.

The cultural relics vendors in Panjiayuan, Beijing, can tell a tortuous, bizarre and beautiful story, even if the object is so fake that even laymen can see it at a glance.

Therefore, Xia Rufei was not moved by the story of Tibetan children, but he never forgot his original intention. No matter how touching the story is, his only criterion of judgment is the quality of things.
