Chapter 456 Dabao Never Takes Advantage of Others
Dabao thought she was going to tell the kitchen to cook, so when no one was around, he quickly took out the kettle and rinsed his mouth with the water from the well. It was too greasy, and it had stuck to his teeth.
After a while, the girl came over with a middle-aged man wearing a small hat. The middle-aged man had a white beard and looked at Dabao as if he was his son-in-law.
He mumbled a lot of Xinjiang dialect. Dabao grinned, not understanding a word. He looked at the girl and asked for translation.
The girl said with a smile: "Guest, I, Dada (meaning father), would like to ask if you have national food coupons? If so, can you exchange some for us?"
Dabao was a little confused. He had more than 200 kilograms of national food coupons on him, which he got from Lu Jianbang and Xiao Erduo, but he didn't know what use the national food coupons were here.
The girl explained and gestured, and Dabao finally understood. It turned out that in Western Xinjiang, national food coupons could be used to buy oil from other places, and they could also buy almond oil. One kilogram of national food coupons could buy one and a half to two kilograms of almond oil.
Dabao was happy when he heard this. He had eaten almond oil in his previous life. This oil has a fresh taste and a light nutty aroma. It has very high nutritional value, but it is difficult to buy authentic ones. But there should be no fake ones in this era, right?
He pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I brought some national food coupons with me and wanted to buy some food, but..."
Dabao is very thoughtful. Seeing his dilemma, the girl became anxious.
"Barangzi, my elder brother just had a son and needs to apply almond oil on the child so that he can survive this dry weather. Please, at all costs, give us some. Just tell us what you need. As long as we have it, we will give it to you."
Dabao was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that the purpose of the girls changing the oil was not to eat it, but to smear it on the children. Seeing the girl's anxious look, he really didn't want to pretend to deceive the girl anymore.
Dabao said, "I'm going to Hotan with my colleagues. I want to prepare some grilled lamb skewers, hand-pulled rice, and baked buns. I can exchange them for 50 kilograms of national food coupons."
"Oh, that's great," the girl was overjoyed when she heard it. She hurriedly told her father in Xinjiang dialect. The uncle was also happy and nodded repeatedly.
Dabao took the opportunity to tell the girl that he also wanted to exchange some almond oil to give as gifts to relatives and friends.
He gave the girl 150 kilograms of national food coupons and waited to eat grilled lamb skewers and rice with his hands.
When the grilled lamb skewers came up, Dabao was shocked. Wow, one skewer was half a meter long. In addition to the sizzling meat, there were also tomato slices, green and red peppers. It was really delicious.
Dabao started to eat and drink a lot. It was only then that he realized that milk tea should be eaten with meat skewers and hand-pulled rice. This is to relieve the greasiness. If he drank it straight like that, it would be strange if he didn't feel greasy.
Dabao took two bites of meat and then a bite of skin. It tasted so good.
This skewer of lamb weighed more than two pounds of meat, and along with a plate of hand-pulled rice and three baked buns, Dabao was so full that he started burping.
He held his stomach and turned his head, and was immediately shocked.
On the two tables next to me, food was piled up like a mountain. There were more than thirty large meat skewers, naan bread piled higher than a person, a table full of baked buns piled up like a mountain, and two iron buckets of pilaf.
These are enough for Dabao to eat for three months.
At this time, the girl was sweating and carrying a big jar with a young man. She let out a sigh, and it seemed that she was very tired.
"Guest, this is 180 kilograms of almond oil, but how can you take it away?"
Dabao had a plan: "Do you have a market here? Selling camels and horses?"
The girl nodded. This is the characteristic of Dihua City. Many herdsmen need to come here to exchange things. Bills are something out of their reach. Since the bills were used to control the economy, ordinary people suddenly felt sad. It was a pity that they could not buy things with money. Therefore, the market in Dihua was opened openly. This was allowed by the government.
"I'll go get the car and just put these in it for me."
Dabao got up and left the restaurant. He found a deserted place, smoked a cigarette, looked around, and saw no one passing by. He waved his hand, and a jeep appeared at the spot.
He got on the jeep, and suddenly, a little tiger's face stuck to the window glass. Dabao couldn't help laughing.
The little tiger was also confused. It was playing with its toys when it suddenly arrived here. It was so scared that it pressed its face against the car window and dared not move.
Dabao got out of the car and held the little tiger in his arms. The little tiger struggled for a while, then looked up and saw that it was Dabao. It growled in grievance, meaning that it had scared the baby.
The little tiger held Dabao's face with its two front paws and licked it with its pink little tongue.
Dabao couldn't help petting the little tiger for a few times. Others petted cats, but he petted the tiger. Dabao admired the little tiger for a while, then sent it back to the space.
Then we got in the car and drove to the hotel.
Arriving at the restaurant, the girl, the uncle, and the young man loaded all their things into the car. Dabao took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it into the uncle's pocket. The uncle said he didn't want anything and mumbled a lot. He seemed a little angry, and his eyes were red.
The girl said, "Sir, my dad said that your national food coupons saved his grandson's life, and you absolutely cannot accept this money."
Dabao had no choice but to put the money away. The girl handed him a leather bag. When Dabao opened it, he saw that it was full of various spices for barbecue. He was overjoyed. This was exactly what he needed.
Dabao thought for a moment, got into the jeep, and came out with three large golden carps in his hands, each weighing more than ten kilograms.
He stuffed the fish into the uncle's hand and drove away without waiting for the uncle to refuse.
The uncle and the girl were left looking at each other in bewilderment. This guy is so nice...
Dabao found a deserted place, parked his car, and walked in the direction the girl pointed.
After a while, we saw a large open-air market. It was very bustling with people coming and going. Almost all of them were from Xinjiang, and there were very few Han people.
Dabao took off his uniform and put it on his arm, only wearing a white shirt and blue pants. As for the hat, he had thrown it into the space long ago.
The market is very chaotic, with people selling walnuts, cantaloupes, watermelons, peaches and other fruits. The most common ones are raisins, dried apricots, and dates.
Xijiang is a place with abundant sunshine, large temperature difference between day and night, and dry climate.
This dry climate causes the water in fruits and vegetables to evaporate quickly, resulting in a relatively high sugar concentration, which increases the sweetness of the fruits and vegetables.
Dabao thought that there was a language barrier, but it turned out that the vendors could speak a few words of Chinese. Dabao bought a lot of fruits in no time. However, the reason why Dabao bought fruits was that he wanted to plant them in the space so that he would have endless fruits to eat in the future.
This is also one of the main reasons why Dabao has not increased the variety of fruits in the space.
Dabao asked the stall owner to push the fruits out of the market on a cart and put them in a cool place. He squatted there and waited for a long time. Finally, no one passed by. Then he put the fruits into the space and planted them directly in the ground.
The uniform was also dirty, so Dabao washed it. After doing all this, he walked into the market again.
Going further inside is the livestock market, which is the main item of the market. There are many livestock dealers.
Dabao didn't know how to choose animals, so he just looked around. In the market, there were people selling camels, horses, sheep, and yaks, but of course no one was selling oxen and donkeys, as they were prohibited from buying and selling.
Dabao doesn't buy sheep and yaks, he can just hunt them himself, why would he spend money on such a big head...
He strolled around, looking here and there.
Suddenly, his sleeve was pulled. Dabao looked back and was startled...
