The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

　　 A group of tenacious grass mud and horses live in the deserted and beautiful Mahler\Gobi. They have overcome the difficult environment of the desert Gobi and survived tenaciously!

　　 Survival is not easy. There is a shortage of water and food in the Gobi. The only kind of grass that a horse can eat is lying grass. Lying grass generally grows near human gathering points, so the grass mud\horse is always dependent on humans for companionship all its life.

　　 I really admire the brains and creativity of some Internet creatures in my previous life. I can come up with such a wonderful national curse homophony. Alpaca and living environment can be expressed in such classic words.

　　 Thinking of this, Zhang Nan felt a little joy in his stomach.

but!

　　 Is it really created by cyber creatures?

　　Grass mud\Horse is, Mahler\Gobi is not the creation of netizens!

　　 What did Zhang Nan do?

　　 antique collector, also has some accomplishments in the study of ancient Chinese prose. I know that the book was written in the pre-Qin period "Shang Shu. Wu Cheng" there is such a record: "The king came from Shang, as for Yu Feng, he was from Yan Wu Xiuwen, the horse was in the sun of the Gobi, and the oxen in the peach forest, showing the world. ."

　　 There is also such a paragraph in the first chapter of "Shu Yue Quan Biography" by Qing Dynasty novelist Qian Cai: "At that time, the world has been peaceful for a long time. The real man is the Gobi, swords and guns are stored in the warehouse; the grains are abundant, and the people are happy."

　　 The ancient Chinese used Mahler\Gobi to describe the peace of the world, and no longer use soldiers. As for modern society, this word means to describe the paralyzed mind, but there are too few people who understand it.

When looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room of his suite, Zhang Nan is already aware of the problem of grass mud and horse breeds because of a conscientious butler, and also knows the price difference between different grass mud and horse breeds. Very big!

　　 is like the kind of alpacas that I will eat at noon today. The main reason for feeding is to eat meat, and the hair removal is just a sideline.

　　Although most of those exported to the Western world are also hybrid alpacas, they have basically selected their coat color and appearance. They can be regarded as competition type, and the highest price in the Western world is 50,000 or 60,000 US dollars.

　　 It's like horses have bad horses that pull carts in rural areas, and meat horses that Kazakhs love to eat. Of course, there will be a huge difference in body price between a thoroughbred and sweaty BMW.

　　 is just the most beautiful alpaca. Before it was cut, it was quite innocent and cute. It was eventually eaten. The only blame for it is that it was born as a domestic animal.

In addition to wild goods, artificially bred alpacas are originally wool and meat dual-purpose animals. They are mainly raised for cutting alpaca hair. The price in Bolivia is about twice that of meat-based alpaca, which is seven. , Eighty dollars each.

Peru banned the export of alpaca, Bolivia and other countries followed suit, but the American farms are not going well, and they are always stuck in breeding. Therefore, except for South America, Australia can still carry out alpaca relatively smoothly. Breed.

　　 This is the situation now. As soon as it leaves the Andes region of South America, the price of live alpacas soars, starting at US$10,000 per head in Australia.

In the last life I would be in China, most of the grass mud horses I saw were the most common hybrid alpaca. It was covered in thick hair. It was considered the fat of the alpaca, its flesh was dull, and it was furry. The representative of the innocent and cute face.

　　 Although this kind of alpaca tastes good, it is actually not as good as a llama. It is said that an adult llama is the best meat in the grass mud\horse series. In Bolivia, the price of llama meat is higher than that of beef and mutton, which is considered to be the white and rich beauty in the alpaca world.

　　Compared with "hybrid" alpacas, llamas are generally mainly used for producing wool. They are also taller and larger, with thin legs. Running on the Gobi is a scenery!

Not only meat is expensive, but the market price of llama wool is also higher than that of llamas. It is said that the flexibility is higher. The housekeeper even suggested that Lin Ming and others can go to the high-end shops in Chengnan District to buy some alpaca wools when they change shifts and rest. Sweaters, coats.

　　 Mao’s precious meat is also expensive, and llamas are naturally less used as meat, and even if there is, it is also the enjoyment of the rich. Hearing from Tom, in some high-end restaurants in La Paz, "pina" will be specially marked, llama skewers.

There is one near 　　, but the butler does not recommend the boss to try it, because the hotel itself has a first-class barbecue chef, and even has an underground grill, so you can’t run outside.

　　 If the boss is interested, please let me know and you can taste roasted whole alpaca in the evening. It is too late at noon, which is very time-consuming.

　　 Then try.

　　 A while before lunch, Zhang Nan asked the others to leave the suite and changed into casual sportswear, and their shoes were replaced with light jogging shoes.

　　Before, because I had to face senior officials in Bolivia, I wore a suit out of politeness. Even if the tailors and cobblers on Saville Street had good skills, they didn’t have any expensive casual sportswear to wear easily.

　　 There is a phone in the bedroom. No matter how poor this horrible place is, the phone in the VIP villa of the State Guest House can also make direct international calls.

　　 is not a secret, you can’t use satellite phones.

　　The time in La Paz is one hour longer than that in New York, so there is no time difference between the two places. The call came to Nicole's office in the Empire State Building, and the report was safe.

　　 The housekeepers of course knew that the plane had arrived safely. Zhang Nan was talking about his physical condition. There was no hypoxia response for the time being, and it was okay.

　　 I said a few words at random. After I hung up the phone, I checked that the time was almost the same. I walked out of the suite and the restaurant was on the first floor. I didn't specify in advance that I would like to dine in the suite, so the butler would naturally arrange lunch in the dining room.

　　 As soon as the boss arrives at the restaurant, he starts a meal.

　　 is not a long table. There are long tables for two or four people. Zhang Nan said as soon as he sat down: "Don't drink, give me some juice."

　　 People in the South American highlands like to drink. This habit is actually very bad. Anyway, Zhang Nan is a high-altitude area, so he can drink without drinking.

　　 The brain would be hypoxic, so drink?

　　 That's because I can't live with myself!

　　 Hearing the richness of the boss, the waiter introduced: "The local cactus fruit juice is good, sir."

Nod.

　　 In Zhang Nan's eyes, cactus fruit is something similar to drinking dragon fruit. Juicing and drinking are normal drinks, not unusual.

　　 Soon, a glass of light yellow juice came up. This is the cactus fruit juice, not the usual red color.

　　 also came up with grilled alpaca neck meat, which looked a bit like a T-bone steak.

　　 The juice should be mixed with mineral water. It is not particularly sweet, but it is refreshing. Pour some pepper sauce on the steak, cut it open, and stuff it in your mouth.

　　 "Not bad!" The three people next to him were serving the same dishes as himself. After a few bites, Zhang Nan said to Andre next to him.

　　 The meat looks a bit like beef and has a texture~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It has no smell in the mouth. It is crispy and delicious, which is pretty good. That is, this steak is not the fully cooked steak that Zhang Nan is used to when he eats steak. It is estimated that at most 70 to 80%.

　　 didn't call Danny over. It is estimated that Mr. Chef would have his reason to do this. Perhaps this kind of alpaca meat will become too old to chew after it is fully cooked.

　　 There is no bloodshot eyes, and there is no feeling of life in the mouth, it doesn't matter.

　　 There is also a small piece of corn on the steak, sprinkled with pepper, and bite...

　　 directly threw the corn segments onto the plate, and said, "This Danny, I have to tell him next time, there is no sweet corn in South America."

　　 Barbecue steak with corn segments, whether in the United States or in those western restaurants where China has just started, it’s almost always done like this.

　　 But you need sweet corn, and corn is a food in South America. Although there are many varieties of corn here, there are few sweet ones!

　　 Many people say that new varieties of sweet corn originated in Central and South America. That is a distribution strategy. They are not wrong and cannot be considered a lie-because all corn originated in Central and South America, sweet corn is of course not surprising!

　　 Even if there is salted corn, it also originated in America.

　　 I’m eating, thinking that the lower part will not waste time. Anyway, the preparations have been prepared in advance, and there is no need to meet with the senior executives of the mining company who arrived early.

　　 said to Andre: "After the meal, we go to the witch market. I heard that it is quite distinctive, so don't be too ostentatious."

　　 "Yes, boss."

　　 Zhang Nan doesn't like to go to the ordinary market, but the special cultural market is an exception-the witch market, there are not many in the world.
