After stretching their muscles and bones, they followed Phuntso Tashi for about two hours of physical training. Finally, the two of them stopped and went to the hotel's spa to steam a sauna and take a comfortable bath.
"The environment here feels very good, and the supporting facilities are quite complete. Unexpectedly, the per capita income here is so low, and the grade of this hotel is not low at all."
Chen Mu soaked in the hot water pool and said to Phuntso Tashi with a smile.
Phuntso Tashi washed his face and said: "Pakistan's per capita income is not high, but there are places with high consumption. Our hotel is not expensive, 1500 per night, which is equivalent to a month for the Pakistani brothers. income, you can imagine."
"1500?"
Chen Mu was dumbfounded. He searched the Internet and said that the consumption in Pakistan is low, but looking at it now, it is not low at all.
After thinking about it, he asked, "Aren't there any cheap hotels? Are they all so expensive?"
Phuntso Tashi explained: "There are also more common and cheaper hotels, but many of them will say that we Xia people are distinguished guests, and their hotels are not allowed to receive... Well, in fact, they are afraid that we will have trouble staying with them. If anything happens, he will be held accountable by the government."
After a slight pause, Phuntso Tashi smiled and said, "Anyway, you are a big customer of our company, and I don't bother to inquire about other cheap hotels, this one is the best."
Chen Mu was speechless.
You taste, you taste carefully.
I feel that the meaning of this product is: anyway, you pay the money, of course choose the expensive one.
After being depressed for a while, Chen Mu slowly figured it out again.
Anyway, I paid so much money, if I still live in that kind of bad hotel, wouldn't it be a big loss
So, if you can enjoy it, enjoy it, and the money will be spent as if it is no longer your own... Hmph, you don't need to spend your own money... With such a change of thinking, the whole thing will be smooth, and you will feel at ease.
After practicing on the first day, although I have stretched afterwards, when I woke up the next day, my muscles still felt a little sore and I was a little tired
Pengcuo Zhaxi took Chen Mu to swim, saying that he borrowed 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 Phuntso Tashi ordered for him arrived, including jackets, down jackets, fleeces, underwear, hiking pants, etc., as well as shoes and socks, backpacks, walking sticks, and glasses.
"I have prepared all the other mountaineering equipment and have stored them in Skardu. We can start there tomorrow."
Pengcuo Zhaxi demonstrated for Chen Mu how to wear underwear, shoes and socks, how to use a tent sleeping bag, how to pack and put away, anyway, let Chen Mu roughly do it, and then said: "These things will be in the future." You will basically do it every day, so you will become proficient soon, and you don’t need to remember it specially. You treat it as a part of your life, and you will remember it better.”
Chen Mu didn't expect to pay so much attention to wearing clothes, pulling a tent, opening a sleeping bag, and even choosing a pair of shoes must be waterproof and breathable.
To be honest, he really didn't understand how he could breathe if he was waterproof. Anyway, it didn't matter if he didn't understand. After asking Phuntso Tashi about the price of these things, he understood why it was so good.
In the evening, Pengcuo Tashi took Chen Mu out for a big meal.
"This may be the best meal you'll have in the next two months, so enjoy it."
Phuntsok Tashi sat down in a… well, it looked like an expensive restaurant, quickly ordered, and then teasingly said something.
Chen Mu also took a look at the menu, there are two kinds of explanations in Pakistani language and English, although he can understand English, but the explanation is to directly tell the ingredients of the food, and it is impossible to see what is made. So Chen Mu can only look at the price.
The price is marked in rupees. The exchange rate between rupees and people is about 16:1, that is, one yuan in RMB, which is equivalent to 16 rupees. This figure is quite difficult to get rid of. Anyway, every dish is hundreds or thousands. Considering the income level, it is very expensive.
After a while, things came up one after another.
Phuntso Tashi began to transform into a gourmet expert, and enthusiastically introduced to Chen Mu: "This Prata pancake is regarded as the breakfast of Pakistani people, but it is relatively famous, so I ordered it for you to try. There are two kinds of fillings and no fillings. There are spicy potatoes in the stuffing, and you can choose to add chopped chickpeas, but I think spicy potatoes are better, so I didn’t want it.”
"This is Kashmiri milk tea. You said you like sweet ones. I ordered sweet ones for you. Mine is salty."
"This is lamb stewed with potatoes. This dish best represents the food flavor of the Pakistani people. Its main ingredients are potatoes, tomatoes, and lamb seasoned with bay leaves, cinnamon, masala, cardamom, ginger, and onions. You can mix it with Served with rice or naan, it tastes very good, I personally highly recommend it.”
"This is Baka, known as the Pakistani Burger. Try it. Anyway, it's bread sandwiched with chicken or beef and mutton skewers, and some side dishes. Try something new."
"There is also Paaya, which is a relatively grand dish. The most expensive thing we ordered today, um, do you know how much it costs to eat a sheep in Pakistan? Let me tell you, 6,000, so this dish is very expensive. It’s not cheap, the price here is very conscientious.”
"This, Punjabi prawns, is a famous dish in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The lobster is cooked with yogurt, chili powder, turmeric powder, fennel seeds, etc. It tastes good, but I feel that the original taste of the lobster is covered. It's over, it's a pity... "
Phuntso Zhaxi Balabala said, but the speed of eating was not slow at all.
It seems that it is really the same as what Phuntsok Tashi mentioned before. Those who play mountaineering stay in the mountains all year round and cannot eat good food, so they have to eat as long as they have delicious food and enjoy the food to their heart's content.
Chen Mu is a milk tea lover, so he took a sip of the cup of Kashmir milk tea first.
Yes, Not Bad.
I feel that apart from butter tea, he basically has no milk tea that he is not used to.
Of course, it is best to drink sweet milk tea, just like drinking soy milk is best to drink sweet, and eating tofu nao is best to eat sweet.
He can also accept salty milk tea, but it feels like... well.
Therefore, he does not agree with Phuntso Tashi, a gourmet expert. He doesn’t know how to drink sweet milk tea. What kind of gourmet expert is he
This meal was so full that I was a little full when I paid the bill.
When I went back to the hotel, I walked back.
After dark, the street seems to be less lively.
Chen Mu noticed that there were not many cars on the road, but there were fewer pedestrians.
The two were walking when suddenly two men in uniforms flashed out from an alley next to them, each holding a dick in their hands.
Chen Mu couldn't tell whether it was a soldier, a policeman, or something else. When he saw the guy in their hands, he subconsciously felt a little nervous.
Phuntso Tashi turned his head and gave him a look of "Don't worry", and then talked to the two uniformed Pakistani.
Phuntsuo Tashi's words were a bit bumpy, but they were obviously able to communicate with each other. The two of them looked at Chen Mu, and a smile began to appear on their faces. After talking to Phuntsuo Tashi , I picked up the walkie-talkie and started talking to the other end.
Although Chen Mu relaxed, he was still secretly on guard, and asked Phuntso Tashi in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Phuntso Tashi smiled and said, "It's okay, take it easy."
Chen Mu still looked at him suspiciously, and he explained: "They are patrolling police, similar to our armed police, because they saw us walking on the road so late, so they came to check."
After a slight pause, he smiled wryly again and said, "It's mainly because I'm too dark, which hurts you. Now they already know that we are from the Xia Kingdom, so they are worried that we will be in danger, and they are contacting us to escort us back to the hotel."
"Is it that dangerous here?"
Surprised, Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at the guy in the hands of the two irons. That's AK. Is there such a patrol under normal circumstances? Is it too exaggerated
Phuntso Tashi explained: "Actually, it is very safe here, but they are afraid of accidents at night, and they are especially afraid of us... Well, this is the benefit of our motherland becoming stronger. It is related to damaging the friendship between the two countries, so generally speaking, the Pakistani brothers will try their best to protect us."
Only then did Chen Mu understand, and could only wait.
Those two iron bars were also quite interesting. After talking into the walkie-talkie, one of them smiled again and came over to talk blah blah blah.
Phuntsuo Tashi responded with a few words, 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 brother will take photos with people casually
Glancing at the AK in the hands of the two iron brothers, Chen Mu nodded happily: "No problem."
Then, Pengcuo Tashi and Chen Mu stood in the middle, and the two Batie brothers stood on both sides, and took a group photo together.
Chen Mu noticed for a moment that the two iron brothers each took a mobile phone to take pictures, one of them was an old Huawei with a cracked screen, and the other was holding a mobile phone that looked exactly like an Apple, but the Apple logo was not bitten at all That bite, at first glance, is a domestic cottage.
After the photo was taken, the two Batie brothers shook hands with Phuntsuo Tashi and Chen Mu respectively, and had a conversation.
Phuntso Tashi translated roughly: "They said they were very happy that we could come to Islamabad as guests, hoped that everything would go well for us, and they would come more in the future."
Chen Mu couldn't help admiring inwardly, the Ba Tie brothers really treat us Xia people as brothers, but we only treat them as thirds, alas, how can this be good, it's easy to cool people's hearts.
After a while, two other people came, also the Bartie brothers in uniform.
After the two Batie brothers waved goodbye to Chen Mu and Phuntso Tashi, they hid in the alley next to the road.
Chen Mu and Pengcuo Tashi returned to the hotel under the escort of the newcomers, the two Pakistani brothers.
Chen Mu originally wanted to take out two fifty-dollar tickets, but he was determined not to accept them, his head shook like a drum, and he turned around and left in a hurry without saying to leave a name.
Chen Mu looked at the backs of those two people for a long, long time, feeling very emotional. He wondered if they would write a diary or something later to record everything that happened today.
