Chapter 48 The biggest test?
After bidding farewell to the beautiful yet terrifying, romantic yet cruel Hoh Xil, the x164 train gradually increased its speed and plunged into the Kunlun Mountains, which is the center of China's dragon veins and spans 2,500 kilometers from east to west.
Before crossing the Kunlun Mountains, it will be the last time for passengers to feel the kindness and tenderness of the Tibetan Plateau.
The Kunlun Mountains, also known as Kunlun Void, is spitting clouds and mist into the sky, and then uses a pair of invisible hands to tear the clouds and mist into pieces and scatter them on the earth... Then these clouds and mist turn into snow-white sheep, like stars in the sky
Densely covered in green pastures.
The Gesang flowers bloom in full bloom in August. Their colors are only red, pink and white. But when they are dotted in the green grassland, the land suddenly becomes a fairy tale world, which is the most charming.
Touch the girly hearts of female passengers.
Legend has it that Tibetans are the descendants of macaques and witches, so before the birth of the great King Gesar, the demon kingdom ruled this vast land. At that time, there was no light all year round in Tibet, and the four seasons were shrouded in darkness.
After the great King Gesar came to this world, red Gesang flowers grew wherever he walked, and the warm red light quickly pierced the dark clouds;
Where he sat, pink Kelsang flowers grew, so humans and animals came to worship;
Where he fought, white Kelsang flowers grew. Wherever they extended, the demon soldiers would be defeated...
Kelsang flowers represent infinite vitality. Wherever there are Kelsang flowers, there is surging life and hope. Therefore, when the passengers saw this beautiful Kelsang flower grassland, even the discomfort caused by high altitude sickness seemed to be alleviated.
A lot.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long... As the train roared through this beautiful grassland, Yuzhu Peak, shining with white holy light in the northern sky, gradually disappeared from the sight of the passengers.
The ground beneath our feet continued to rise, and the altitude had risen to more than 5,000 meters. The blue sky disappeared, and there was no longer a single white cloud. The passengers raised their heads and searched desperately, but could only see a gray world.
One moment it was blue sky and white clouds, the pastures were green, and the beautiful Gesang flower fields made people forget to leave; at this moment, God suddenly changed its face, and palm-sized snowflakes fell down in the blink of an eye.
The car window glass made a series of abnormal noises, and countless hailstones the size of ping pong balls were jumping around outside the car window.
Looking out along the inside of the window, the passengers found that their line of sight was less than twenty meters away. At this time, only the green car body could give them enough sense of security.
Fortunately, we are on a train with air conditioning and oxygen, and we also have Chef Zhou...
Some passengers who had once thought about driving the Qinghai-Tibet Line were only left to secretly rejoice.
Wudaoliang is coming!
Only veteran drivers who travel on the Qinghai-Tibet Line all year round will understand the horror of Wudaoliang.
This is the dividing point of climate transition on the Tibetan-Qinghai Plateau. The land is high and the weather is cold, making it difficult for birds to fly over. The weather is unpredictable, and it snows in summer!
Even in the midsummer of August, the average temperature in Wudaoliang will not exceed 6 degrees Celsius, and because the soil here contains too much mercury, there are few plants, and the oxygen content is less than 40% of that in the plains.
This is just the data under normal circumstances. If you unfortunately encounter bad weather, the value will be even lower.
The car will have difficulty speeding up here due to lack of oxygen in the engine, and the vehicle air conditioner will not be able to operate due to the overload of the engine. In addition, the road is always frozen...
That’s why there is a slang saying among veteran drivers on the Qinghai-Tibet Line, ‘Wudaoliang, the gate of hell, after passing the gate of hell is Pingchuan...’
In front of Wudaoliang, even the Tanggula Pass, the highest altitude on the Qinghai-Tibet Line, is not scary.
The x164, with the air conditioner turned on at full power, has obviously slowed down. As it gradually goes deeper into this terrifying area, the thicker and thicker snow clouds in the sky have completely blocked the sunlight. It is only about four o'clock in the afternoon, but the outside of the train has become invisible.
Five fingers, only the snow flakes and hail that keep hitting the windows can enter the passengers' sight.
The oxygen holes in the carriage were already operating at maximum power, but the terrifying high-reflection still made many passengers from the plains feel ecstatic.
Headache, vomiting, chest tightness, dizziness, diarrhea...
The carriage was full of pale passengers covering their mouths. A long queue formed in front of the toilet door at the junction of the carriages. Passengers covered their stomachs and jumped anxiously. All kinds of weird smells filled the carriage...
..
Su Rou has gone to the toilet three times.
The stomachache is still there, but the key is blushing? At this time, a lady is no longer a lady. Mr. Su, who is about to turn into Mr. Guan, only then realizes that the expensive Chanel sports suit can't hide her queuing.
Embarrassment in the toilet.
Is Lu Meiqi, Nanizi, deliberately trying to make her angry? Under such a violent orgasm, this guy actually ate three packs of pickled chicken feet in front of her as if nothing had happened, and even asked her if she wanted to reserve a seat in the dining car in advance for dinner.
, want to eat Chef Zhou’s sweet-scented osmanthus stick again?
What time has it been? Are you still eating?
Su Rou held her stomach and rejected the proposal. She determined that even Zhou Zhou's cooking skills would never be able to awaken her taste buds at this time.
In addition to the passengers and physically strong people who originally lived on the plateau, the conductors who travel to and from this line all year round have not been affected by high altitude sickness; but Mr. Zhang Zhouxuan is a different kind, he is already 65 years old.
At this moment, he was sitting with a straight face, watching his apprentice take out a plastic bag from his arms again...
The old man didn't care too much about his apprentice at the moment. A 'young man' in his forties should not be afraid of troubles, and it would be better if he got some training. What he was concerned about was how Zhou Zhou should deal with today's dinner.
The "Osmanthus Cake" at lunch was very successful, and the guests who had it even strongly requested that it be continued at dinner. However, things are changing at this time. If we ask passengers for their opinions now, I am afraid that more than half of the people will give up on the "Osmanthus Cake".
appetite.
Under the influence of high anti-reaction, the pork belly ice pork will no longer be the super delicious "ice balsamic fat", it will quickly transform into an "emetic".
Pork liver, which dominates all flavors, will also become less fragrant. Under the influence of high reaction, people's taste buds will misjudge the 'indole value' of food. In this state, the originally fragrant food may become smelly.
Yes, the smelly thing may turn into something fragrant...
People who didn’t like to eat stinky tofu in the past would love this once terrifying food because their taste buds misjudged the indole value; girls who love durian will firmly believe that they just ate poop at this time!
In a high-reaction environment, it’s really hard to agree with everyone, because diners will become ten times pickier!
This time is the biggest test for the chef.
If a chef cannot adapt to local conditions and people's conditions, and cannot satisfy the taste of the vast majority of diners in any environment, no matter how skilled he is, he will not be able to become a famous chef.
