This time coming to Zhangbei, if I don't make a trip to Lhasa on the way, it would be like letting down the vastness of the entire northern Xizang. This is a true sacred place in the real sense. Along the way, they even saw many people walking on the pilgrimage route - those who prostrated themselves with every step they took.
"These are the truly devout people." " Qin Hao looked at those people whose clothes were worn white but who walked with composure, and a sense of respect rose in his heart. In this world, there are always people who can maintain a complete peace, and they clearly belong to that category.
"Qin Hao, what are they doing?" Si Hanxue asked, her tone filled with genuine curiosity.
As someone who grew up in Hong Kong and has long been influenced by Western culture, she is not familiar with many of China's traditions.
"Worship." " When you see those hikers, they are expressing their inner piety in the most primitive way.
So that's it. Well... What on earth is Lhasa?" Si Hanxue continued to ask. She had studied abroad since childhood and knew almost nothing about this history. At this moment, she felt rather ashamed.
Qin Hao thought for a moment and then followed her curiosity to tell an ancient story: "The history of Lhasa can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty." When Princess Wencheng entered Tubo, this place was still very desolate. Later, it was built into the Jokhang Temple. It is said that it was filled in with soil carried by goats at that time. As more and more people came to pay homage to the Buddha, an old town naturally formed around the temple - shops, hotels and residences, gradually gathering into today's Barkhor Street.
He paused for a moment and added, "As for the Potala Palace, it was expanded by Songtsen Gampo." It has always been the political and cultural center of this area.
An Jianwen, who was standing by, was heartbroken - how come he had never memorized such cultural knowledge? Otherwise, one can also show off in front of a beautiful woman.
As soon as the car stopped, the three beautiful women caught a lot of attention. There's no way around it. Their looks are just too dazzling.
It was their first time in northern Xizang. Everything they saw was new and exciting. Shopping was like going to war. Qin Hao tragically took on the responsibility of the "humanoid transporter".
Lu Xiaobu, on the other hand, paid more attention to the two puppies and was completely absent from this "bloody shopping battle". An Jianwen had intended to show off, but unfortunately, he suffered from altitude sickness again and could only inhale oxygen in the hotel.
So the heavy responsibility of transporting the goods naturally fell on Qin Hao.
A group of people walked into Barkhor Street. The well-preserved old town here makes every step feel like treading on the texture of history.
"It's so incredible that all these stones were ground by hand!" " The girls chattered away, looking at the information boards by the roadside.
Qin Hao saw quite a few good things, such as medicinal herbs - these were quite suitable to take back for the elderly to use.
Si Hanxue and Ji Ningran are bargaining with the vendor. Qin Hao wondered if Si Hanxue had been taken away by someone - was this still that woman with a chilling cold air? But it has to be said that this way she is more down-to-earth and gives off a sense of true "friend".
And leaving aside her background, she is indeed kind-hearted.
There were also antique sellers on the road, but Qin Hao could tell they were fakes without using his golden eyes.
Suddenly, Tongyan's angry voice interrupted him:
"Is this what you call business?" "
Qin Hao walked over immediately. What's going on?
I have my eye on this Thangka. He said five hundred first. Just as I was about to pay, he suddenly changed it to eight hundred. Ok, I accept it. As a result, this man - "she pointed at a middle-aged man," offered him a thousand yuan, and he actually sold it directly to him! What's this?"
The boss spread his hands disapprovingly and said, "The highest bidder wins. That's the principle of doing business."
The onlookers clearly did not side with him.
"If you can't afford it, then don't buy it. It's so embarrassing." The middle-aged man's tone was contemptuous.
Tongyan immediately blew up.
"Ok, I'll pay 1,200!"
"I'm 1,500." " The man sneered and became even more arrogant.
"Two thousand!" " Her youthful face shows no sign of giving in.
"I'll offer 2,500. Are you competing with me in terms of money?" You are too young. The man continued to bid.
Qin Hao's brows furrowed - this was clearly an excuse. When the man was bidding, he kept glancing at the boss's reaction from time to time. It was obvious that they were in the same gang.
He knew this trick all too well - a common tactic used by Wu Babapi's subordinates.
Tongyan and the others were buying with great enthusiasm all the way and didn't bargain much. They had already been targeted by others.
The middle-aged man took out another stack of money: "Four thousand!" "Boss, pack up the things."
Just as Tongyan was about to make another offer, Qin Hao pulled her back and said, "Harmony brings wealth. Since they like it, let's give it to someone else."
Tongyan was stunned for a moment, but soon came to her senses.
The girls were not stupid either. They immediately understood the trick.
The eldest daughter of the An family raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Since this uncle is so rich, of course we'll give way." "
As soon as the words were spoken, both the middle-aged man and the vendor's expressions changed - clearly they had been exposed.
"Kid, what do you mean?" "Say I'm playing dirty tricks?" "
Qin Hao said indifferently, "There are some things I don't need to say too clearly." Let's go."
In today's passage, who do you most want to make fun of - the impulsiveness of the young face, the tricks of the unscrupulous merchants, or Qin Hao's calmness of "seeing through everything but not exposing it"?
If it were you, in that kind of scene where you were "hunted down", would you continue to raise the price or just turn around and leave?
