Chapter 1608: Rest for a Night

At the same time, on the Zhengzhou section of another national highway, a motorcade was driving slowly on the potholed road surface.

It was exactly the motorcade from Qin Chi transporting disaster relief supplies. Zhang Shenghui was sitting in the last van, feeling a bit nauseous from the jolting car body.

"I've never been carsick in my life. This broken road makes me feel the taste of carsickness for the first time."

Zhang Shenghui couldn't help but curse, then opened a crack in the car window. The cold air instantly drilled in, which made him feel much more comfortable.

"I often walk this road." The driver said: "It will be fine after passing the front, probably five or six kilometers."

The cold wind drilled in, making it a bit cold, and Zhang Shenghui wrapped himself in his cotton-padded overcoat.

"I don't know if Zhou Andong and the others are in front or behind."

Sitting beside him was Ding Tong, the manager of the Qin Chi Sales Department, who said: "He set off from Jiangzhou, took the 102 to Beijing, which is four or five hundred kilometers more than us. The probability of being behind us is very high. And the Datong section of the 109 is harder to walk than this road."

"Is there anything left to eat?" Zhang Shenghui was a bit hungry, feeling that carsickness might be the reason for an empty stomach.

"Yes!" Ding Tong took out a large twisted dough stick from a bag beside him. It seemed they were very well prepared.

Zhang Shenghui took it and took a bite. I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but just after eating something, his stomach felt much more comfortable.

Unknowingly, it was dawn outside. Zhou Andong and the others arrived in Youyu, and they ate breakfast at a breakfast shop in the county.

With so many people, Zhou Andong gave everyone an hour and a half to act on their own, find a breakfast shop themselves.

Also stroll around, relax their bodies, and find a toilet to solve personal problems after eating.

And the motorcade parked on the side of the road, which couldn't be seen at a glance, also attracted a lot of attention. Seeing the banners on the motorcade, they knew that the Ali region had a snow disaster.

After eating, Zhou Andong came out of the breakfast shop, stretched his body, and took the cigarette handed over by Gu Bing.

"It's quite a bit warmer here than in Jiangzhou."

Wu Hongkang said: "It's five or six degrees different from Jiangzhou, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large."

Zhou Andong finished smoking the cigarette, saw that everyone had returned, and threw the cigarette butt on the ground.

"Get on the car, let's go. If it goes smoothly, we can reach Xining by noon tomorrow."

At noon the next day, Zhou Andong arrived in Xining on time. After eating lunch, he walked three or four kilometers out of the city and met up with Zhang Shenghui.

"Old Zhang, long time no see." Zhou Andong got out of the car and gave Zhang Shenghui a hug very enthusiastically.

"Indeed!" Zhang Shenghui said with great emotion: "After returning from Xiangjiang last year, we haven't seen each other."

Wu Hongkang said with a smile: "This time, we can fight side by side for half a month again."

"Half a month?" Zhou Andong shook his head: "Counting the round trip, it might take a month."

Several people chatted for a few sentences, Zhou Andong looked at the time: "Fine, get on the car, continue to rush on the road."

…………………………

Arrived in Golmud on the third evening, having rushed on the road for four consecutive days, Zhou Andong decided to rest here for a night.

Because walking further back, there were no big cities, and it was also because he was too tired, so he found a few better guesthouses.

Take a good bath, have a meal, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, eat tangyuan in the morning before leaving.

Zhou Andong picked up the walkie-talkie and said: "Find a restaurant to eat, rest here for a night tonight, and leave tomorrow morning after eating tangyuan."

"Long live the Chairman!"

When Zhou Andong announced this news, cheers came from the walkie-talkie, and the shouts of "Long live the Chairman" were continuous.

Soon the motorcade entered Golmud city and stopped on the side of the road in front of a restaurant that looked not small.

Zhou Andong got out of the car, looked up at the restaurant in front of him, it wasn't too big.

"Still the old rules, everyone act on their own. After eating, remember to collect receipts so it's easy to reimburse when you go back."

"No problem!"

Everyone left in groups of three or five. Of course, thirty security personnel had to be left behind to guard the supplies.

When the motorcade stopped on the side of the road, the restaurant landlady ran out.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, she was a bit anxious, afraid that Zhou Andong and the others would leave again, so she hurriedly said.

"A few bosses, hurry up and go inside to drink a cup of tea to warm up your bodies."

Zhou Andong greeted Wu Hongkang and Zhang Shenghui and the others: "Go in, find a hotel to rest after eating."

A group of people entered the restaurant, Yin Jisheng asked: "Landlady, is there any better hotel or guesthouse nearby?"

"Yes!" The landlady diligently poured water for everyone: "Walk north along this street, turn right at the second intersection, and go through three intersections, that's the Municipal Government Guesthouse."

Yin Jisheng continued to ask: "Besides the Municipal Government Guesthouse, are there any other hotels?"

"Yes!" The landlady took a menu and put it on the table: "Around the Municipal Government Guesthouse, there are several hotels and inns, and the environment is quite good."

Zhou Andong handed the menu to Wu Hongkang: "You order, I can eat anything."

"Then I won't be polite." Wu Hongkang picked up the menu: "I'll order."

Gu Bing said with a smile: "You order, we'll eat whatever you order."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Yin Jisheng nodded and started distributing cigarettes to everyone: "Factory Director Wu, we'll eat whatever you order."

Zhou Andong asked: "Not leaving tonight, everyone drink a bit?"

"Drink a bit then." Zhang Shenghui said to the landlady: "What kind of white liquor do you have here?"

"Tequte!" The landlady introduced: "Our Qinghai white liquor, it's quite good. Friends who come from afar all say it's good to drink."

"Fine!" Zhou Andong said: "Check how many people there are, give us a bottle each."

The landlady was stunned and explained: "Tequte is white liquor, not beer."

Gu Bing laughed loudly and pointed around: "Those sitting here are either wine immortals or wine gods, or wine ghosts. A bottle of white liquor is not a big deal."

Xu Baowei waved his hand with a smile: "I can't, just half a jin, any more and I'll definitely vomit."

Xiaobei also shook his head: "I can't drink much either."

"Drink as much as you can." Yin Jisheng said: "If you can't drink it, leave it for me."

For such a good thing, the landlady of course wouldn't say anything. Wu Hongkang finished ordering the dishes, and the landlady brought the wine up first.

Zhou Andong opened it and smelled it, then took a sip in the cup.

"This wine is clear and transparent, mellow at the entrance, but a bit pungent. Overall, the taste is quite good."

"Indeed!" Zhang Shenghui took a sip and nodded: "It's passable."

Wu Hongkang held a mouthful of wine in his mouth, turned his tongue around in his mouth, and then swallowed the wine.

"There's a bit of soy sauce fragrance, but it's not very strong, much worse than Maotai."

Soon the dishes were served, all local specialties, and the taste was quite good.

"Landlady!" After the last dish was served, Zhou Andong said: "According to the standard of our table, arrange three more tables, we still have thirty or so people who haven't eaten."

"Good, good, good!" The landlady was happy: "Drink wine?"

"Don't drink." Yao Jun waved his hand: "They can't drink wine."

Not drinking wine was also fine. Today, these four big tables also earned quite a bit, and the landlady ran to the kitchen like the wind to arrange it.

By the time Zhou Andong and the others finished eating and drinking, the others had already returned, all standing on the side of the road, smoking and chatting in groups of three or five.

Zhou Andong and a few others came out, arranged for the security guards who had just been on duty to go in and eat, and only after they finished eating did they go to the Municipal Government Guesthouse together. ===== CHAPTER 1609 =====
