Chapter 197

The impact of this heavy snow is multifaceted, not only in transportation, but also in pastoral herdsmen.

Of course, it has a considerable impact on Tianlu Inn.

Because since the heavy snow fell, the inn business has declined significantly, and the decline has been considerable.

The day of snowfall was November 29, the last Friday of November. Lao Liu donated the forage to the village on Monday, December 2.

From last weekend to the first weekend of December, the inn business declined even more. At the maximum, the turnover of a day was even less than one-third of the previous one. At the best, the turnover could reach half of the previous one.

The main reason for this is that the number of tourists coming to the plateau to visit has dropped sharply. Some tourists may only play in Sunac or Bayi and then go back. The base camp of Mount Everest has not been unsealed yet. Go there, that is, to Rongbu Monastery, which is still far from the base camp of Mount Everest.

If you want to see the lake, the scenery of Yamdrok Cho in Sunchuang City is not worse than that in Namchuang, and it is closer there, and the altitude is much lighter than that in Namchuang, so many tourists do not come to Namchuang after transferring Yamdrok Cho.

Although Tianlu Inn is very famous in the tourism circle of the plateau, it is far from reaching the point that tourists from all over the country come to the plateau know, so the number of tourists who come to the inn for meals, accommodation and even treat altitude sickness is much smaller.

However, one thing is good, that is, the number of drivers of big trucks has increased significantly, which has prevented the inn business from plummeting.

However, the drivers of big trucks basically do not stay, and they leave after having enough food, which makes the business of the guest rooms behind much lighter. Sometimes there are only five or six guest rooms behind that are rented by tourists, which makes the four waiters do nothing.

However, the Stargazing House has always maintained a good occupancy rate.

Although the star-gazing house is very cold, people who come to the plateau to see the stars are experts. They naturally understand that it is best to see the stars on the plateau in winter, but they also understand that the plateau in winter is very cold.

Although the price of a star-gazing house is not cheap, it can shield the wind and snow well. Although it is a little colder to live in it, it is not a little better than living in a tent. Moreover, when you live in a tent in the wild, you have to be on guard against the invasion of wild animals, and it is even more impossible to see the stars in the tent.

If you want to see the stars, you have to freeze and tremble like a dog. It’s not like a stargazing house. As long as you lie on the bed or in a sleeping bag, you can see the stars in the sky when you look up.

Therefore, the business of star-gazing houses has always been good. Except for the two large-scale star-gazing houses that allow five or six people to live at the same time, the occupancy rate of other small and medium-sized star-gazing houses is relatively high.

In general, since December, although the business of Tianlu Inn has dropped a lot, its daily turnover can be guaranteed to be more than 7,000 yuan. After deducting all the fees, Lao Liu still made some profits.

On Friday afternoon, there was no one in the inn lobby. Lao Liu sat in front of the large glass window in the lobby with tea leaves basking in the sun.

At this time, the wind outside was yelling, and nothing was more comfortable than sitting in a warm room to bask in the sun.

Lao Liu is gradually falling in love with this kind of sunbathing model, which makes Chu Qian always say that he is entering aging early...

"William, uncle, when did you fly? It's Friday today, and I'm still waiting to pick you up...What? You said you're flying to Sunac at around 10 o'clock tonight? Why did you take such a late flight... Oh, okay, I understand, it's noon tomorrow, right? Then I'm ready..."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Peng asked, "Have your uncle come up?"

"Well, I'm preparing to board the plane at Yaoyun Airport."

"How do you get on the plane at this point?"

"He said he wanted to feel the plane from 68 to Sunshine City..."

"Six hundred and eight? Red-eye flight? It's not right. It's landing at around 10 o'clock in the evening. This is not a red-eye flight." Tian Peng took out his cell phone and started to pull it off.

"Who knows? My uncle is now nervous. He doesn't take a good daytime flight, and he has to take a night flight."

"Haha, I know what your uncle means. Tsk, 681 tickets are indeed cheap. It's only two and a half hours in the middle of the mountain city, which is no different from flying directly."

Old Liu leaned over and glanced at Tian Peng's cell phone, and said angrily: "There are still four hundred and two here? Why doesn't he take that flight?"

It is the off-season for travel, and the air ticket prices are amazingly cheap. The cheapest red-eye flights during the summer vacation are 100% more. For example, a flight that is parked for two or three hours costs at least 1,450 yuan, and there is only one flight a day. Most of these flights start at 1,788 yuan, and the time period is good, it can reach 2,344 yuan! But now, 4,200 yuan per ticket.

Tian Peng smiled and said, "I guess my uncle will definitely not want to take that flight. He took off at Yaoqiang Airport at around 7 o'clock in the evening. He had to stop for 19 hours to Chang'an. He was willing to take that kind of flight. Not to mention 420, even if I was asked to take a waste of my seat, I wouldn't take that kind of flight. The stopover time was too long. And it was a plane from two airlines. When buying air tickets, he had to pay double airport construction fees. I was stupid enough to take that kind of flight."

"Damn it, after 19 hours of suspension? Will it be a transfer room be given away?"

"I want to eat nothing..."

Old Liu shook his head, "I understand why my uncle doesn't sit for four hundred and two, but wants to sit for six hundred and eight."

In summer, the sun will only set for an hour after 10 o'clock. But now it won't work, and now the sun will set at 7 o'clock in the evening. So now the flight to Sunac City at 10 o'clock in the evening is not a good flight.

"If you don't go to pick it up, what should I do if my uncle gets off the plane?"

"Li Wei went to pick him up. He stayed at Li Wei's place in the evening. He came with Li Wei and Qin Yue tomorrow. They had never been to our inn. This time it happened to be the weekend. They were both fine, so they agreed to come and have a look."

"Yeah, then you have to prepare something good tomorrow."

"What are you ready for? No matter how you eat it, it's just the common ingredients on the market. You can't get them a pangolin or giant salamander, right? That thing is illegal."

Tian Peng nodded and said, "That's right."

Old Liu looked up and saw that the big dog had just walked into the lobby through the back door, and waved to the big dog. The guy ran over happily.

"Dog, make a table of good dishes tomorrow at noon and get all the dishes you have. Tomorrow my uncle and Qin Yue and Li Wei will come, well, there should be one or two others."

Both the big dog and Tian Peng knew Qin Yue’s identity. The big dog nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Brother Ang, I will prepare some things tonight. Tomorrow I will make them a nine-turn large intestine, a sea cucumber, and a braised shrimp with green onions. Unfortunately, it’s our sea cucumber and shrimp that are not fresh…”

"Damn, it's already great to eat sea cucumbers and prawns here, okay?"

The big dog patted his forehead and said, "Yes, this is not our Dongshan. Well, besides these dishes, I will make them a pair of fried double crispy oil, four-happy meatballs, and elbows. Well, there are no live carp. If there are live carp, I will make them a sweet and sour carp and make sure they will applaud each time they eat."

Tian Peng glanced at the big dog and said, "Stop blowing, no matter how much you blow dumplings, you won't be able to fly. My uncle's Shandong cuisine is better than you. Just don't let my uncle pick out the problem."
