Chapter 726
"In the temple, we eat the same food as the holy rat, because we believe that the holy rat here was once our relatives, and we used to be the holy rat, but now we are reincarnated as humans.
Holy rats are very sacred, don't hurt them, if you accidentally hurt them, you have to give the god a pure gold holy rat as compensation. "
After the priest's words fell, the foreigners were in an uproar. Being able to travel abroad does not mean that they are rich. A large part of travelers have to prepare for a long time for a trip. The hard-earned money was spent on this aspect, trampling the real mouse to death, and losing a golden mouse, wouldn't this kill them.
Every foreigner has become cautious, always paying attention to his feet, for fear of stepping on the gold swallowing beast on the ground.
The same is true for Nanyi. Although he can afford to pay, he doesn't want to pay a fortune here. Even if the purity of gold in India is not high, even if the price can be negotiated, he still doesn't want to pay.
For more than 600 years, tens of thousands of believers have been worshiping in the temple every day. In 1927, there was an epidemic of plague in India, and there were countless deaths. Only the temple here was safe and sound, which is also a "miracle" from a certain point of view. .
In fact, it’s just nonsense. The mice here are delicious and drinkable, and they live more freely than humans, so how can they be infected with plague germs.
Listening to the priest's introduction, Nanyi learned that the Rat Temple stipulates that prayer and rat feeding ceremonies are held twice a day in the morning and evening. During the ceremonies, believers beat drums and chant sutras in the temple room.
When the rats heard the sound of the drum, they swarmed out of the caves in the wall and rushed to the plate in front of the statue of Goddess Dago in the center of the temple to grab food.
In Rajasthan, people not only do not beat rats, but even worship rats, regarding rats as sacred animals. Hindus regard the mouse as a Hindu god and believe that the mouse is the messenger of the god Ganesh.
Local people also believe that respecting rats will bring good rewards, and even people would rather suffer from hunger and hunger, and try to support the rats, so as not to let the rats be wronged.
The Rajputs worship rats very much. If someone gets engaged or travels far away, they must first go to the rat temple to worship for three days and three nights. They believe that rats are the messengers of gods. As long as they are devout to rats, gods will bless the engaged men and women to grow old , will always be united, and will bless those who travel far away to have a smooth journey and safe entry and exit.
Some students will also come to the temple to worship before the big exam, especially before the physics exam, the prayers in the temple will be very pious, because they know that it works, the end of physics is theology, and physicists will listen to God's words, Not to mention physics teachers.
When the mice were about to finish eating, the priest in white just said again: "Everyone is welcome to enter the temple to worship, and I will give you a little reminder. Once you see the Mouse King, you must kneel down to worship, otherwise the Mouse King will be killed." It’s not going to bring luck to everyone.”
"Let's go."
Nan Yi greeted Xiao Hua and Tiger Cub, then turned around and walked outside through the silver gate.
Leaving the Rat Temple, Nanyi and his party went to Jodhpur, a city in the west of the western state of Rajasthan near the southeastern edge of the Thar Desert.
Jodhpur is the same as other ordinary cities in India. The streets are chaotic, the cows shuttle, and a few monkeys appear on the roof from time to time. The difference is that Jodhpur is close to the desert and the weather is relatively dry. Most of the cows here are white. Even the ones pulling the carts, the monkeys here are also white.
In contrast, the khaki buildings are dotted with many buildings with blue walls.
"The blue building is the residence of the Brahmin caste in the past. Hi Mr. Adam, I am Karen David from Anagar Company."
Nanyi and his group had just stood at the triangle intersection for a while, when a woman came to the side of Nanyi.
"Hello, Miss Davy."
Nan Yi glanced at Karen David. She didn't have many Indian features, but she had a lot of yellow features.
"Mr. Adam, I learned that many of you will be coming, so the company arranged for a minibus to stop in an open space 300 meters away. Shall we go there now?"
"Don't worry, I don't know what position Miss David holds in Anagar Company?"
The reason why Nanyi put his travel location in Rajasthan is that besides traveling, he also needs to do some business by the way. Anagar Company is the company he plans to conduct business negotiations with.
"I'm the general manager of the business department."
"Wow, then please manager David to take us on a tour of Jodhpur, and let's talk about business on the way."
"Of course. Is there any place Mr. Adam wants to go in particular?"
"Adam, just call me Adam."
"Ok Adam, you can call me Karen."
"OK, Karen, I'm not familiar with Jotpur. From here on, let's just go shopping, we don't have to rush to go to a certain attraction."
"Okay, then I'll take you on a tour of the city of Jodhpur."
As Karen David spoke, he led Nanyi and his party forward, pointing to a certain building from time to time to give an introduction.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye more than an hour later, Nanyi and his party had already walked a long distance. When they saw a cafe on the side of the road, Nanyi invited Karen David to sit in it in the name of thirst.
Jodhpur is a tourist-oriented city, and there are also many foreigners haunting here. With a random scan, Nanyi saw several Western backpackers in the cafe.
After ordering something to drink, Nan Yi said to Karen David, "Karen, do you have any samples with you?"
"Yes, wait a minute."
As Karen David said, she picked up the bag she was carrying, opened it and took out a transparent plastic bag containing white powder.
Nanyi took out a handkerchief from his pocket and spread it on the table, took the plastic bag, shook a corner a few times, then tore off a corner with his hand, and poured a little white powder on the handkerchief.
After observing with his eyes for a while, Nan Yi asked casually, "What level is this?"
"A+, after secondary purification."
Nanyi took a spoon and crushed it on the powder. After tamping a piece firmly, he pulled it away with a spoon, raised his head, and signaled to the tiger cub.
The tiger cub nodded, rubbed a little powder on the handkerchief with his finger, and put his finger in his mouth to wipe it on his teeth.
"What are you doing, I'll let you taste it, you think we're doing a drug deal." Seeing the behavior of the tiger cub, Nan Yi couldn't help but spit.
"I'm just trying to taste it." The tiger cub said, pursing his mouth, "It tastes like protein powder, astringent and sticky to the teeth."
"Adam, are you from China?"
Hearing Nanyi speak Chinese, Karen David asked.
"Yes, your father is Chinese?"
"No, my mother is Chinese."
"Oh, fate."
Nanyi nodded, stretched out his hand, squeezed a little powder and rubbed it on his fingertips.
"How many grades does your company have for this product?"
"There are four grades in total, A+, A, A-, B+."
"I'll give you an address. Please send 10 kilograms of samples for each grade. We need to test the samples. Once we approve your samples, we will use the samples as the standard for our purchases. If the quality is lower than the samples, we will not accept the goods. , so please don’t worry about samples.”
"Of course, Anagar Company is very honest." Karen David smiled and said, "I don't know how much Adam you need every year?"
"Tsk tsk, this question asks how much is needed per year." Nan Yi muttered in his stomach and said: "We don't need to add 'per year' for the time being, and we don't need to talk about how many rupees tons [kilotons] I want. Let's look at the samples first. Quality, and then we'll talk about package shipping.
There is no problem with the quality and transportation. Let’s take a few trips first to adjust the goods. If possible, I plan to eat more than 80% of your Anagar company’s goods. "
"Adam, are you sure? Our Anagar company can supply more than 1 million tons a year."
Nan Yi smiled and said, "Hehe, Karen, if I want to sign an annual order contract of 1 million tons, would you dare to sign it?"
"Don't dare. The climate in guar planting areas is changeable, especially in Rajasthan, which is prone to continuous drought, and the output cannot be guaranteed. If you want to sign a long-term contract of 500,000 tons, I will sign it with you."
"Are you sure? What if I say that the liquidated damages in our contract have been increased by 10 times?" Nan Yi smiled playfully.
"That depends on other details of the contract."
"Very good, I hope the cooperation between us can be negotiated smoothly." Nanyi said, took out the paper and pen, and wrote down an address on the paper, "Please send the sample here, there is a fax number on it, please send the company The account number and sample fee details are faxed."
Karen David took the paper, glanced at it and put it away, "The cost of the sample is not counted, our Anagar company does not rely on samples to make money."
"uh-huh."
When Nanyi picked up the coffee and put it to his mouth, Maracaibo, Venezuela, in the distant South America.
Sneak peek interest group.
Engineers Conrad and Cameron had just finished their human anatomy course, drank something cold in the lounge, took a nap, and walked back to the office they had just walked out of.
In the office, the teacher who taught them anatomy just now was gone, replaced by two other people.
"Hi everyone, my name is Ford, and I will tell you about the characteristics of stunt driving and dangerous driving, as well as criminal psychology."
"Hello everyone, my name is Hikvision, and I will popularize the characteristics of license plates and the skills of changing license plates in various countries, as well as the traffic rules of various countries."
Clap clap!
Dewin, who was standing next to the wall, clapped her hands and walked in front of Ford and Hikvision, "Everyone, from today onwards, the voyeuristic interest group is officially reorganized into Meerkat Technology. I am very interested in the proposed smart city idea, and the two of you have been transferred to the Fortune Tree project research team to be responsible for the research and development of the traffic monitoring system, please submit a research and development budget to me as soon as possible."
Conrad and Cameron smiled and high-fived each other to celebrate. Just now they had a premonition that their application should be passed, otherwise they would not be able to study some anatomy and criminal psychology courses inexplicably today.
"The purpose of meerkat technology - customers eat meat, we drink soup, every product we sell must bring customers 10 times, 100 times, or even 10,000 times the profit."
As Dewin said, she clapped her hands again, "Everyone, please continue to study seriously, I will go back early to accompany my new girlfriend, goodbye."
"Wow!"
"Damn it!"
Dewin's last words made the engineers in the office very jealous and angry, and they all screamed.
Dewen, who had just walked out of the office door, turned her head and gave everyone a thumbs up, and then... turned over and turned her fingers down.
"Fuck!"
There was another commotion in the office.
"Sorry, I'm going to answer the phone."
Nan Yi apologized to Karen David, took the phone in Xiaohua's hand and walked to the corner.
"say."
"Boss, it's me, Dewin."
"No need to introduce yourself, only you call me Boss."
"Aha, boss, I just made a new girlfriend, who is 181 cm tall and has a figure..."
"Bitch, get down to business." Nan Yi said gloomily.
"Haha, the business is that she is going to participate in next year's Miss Universe, and she needs a sponsor."
"Well, send me her resume. I'll let people see if she has the potential to be Miss Universe first. If so, I will sponsor her."
"Okay, boss, the smart city plan has been launched, and who should be connected with it after it has results."
"Hui Zesang from the 1984 Communist Wealth Association, I plan to hand over the results of my research to a Chinese company. Are you tired of staying in Venezuela? If you don't want to stay, I'll give you another place."
"No, there are many beauties here, I don't want to leave yet."
"Stay where you are happy, pay attention to exercise, don't give up, there is still work for you next year."
"Boss, I'm a woman, I don't have a kidney."
"You are awesome, hang up."
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi returned to the table.
"Karen, how long does it take to get to Mehrangarh Fort?"
"It doesn't take long. We are only a few minutes away from Sadar Market, and it only takes ten minutes to walk up the hill from Sadar Market."
"Then how much time do you think it will take to visit the Mehrangarh Fort? I'm considering whether to eat first or visit first."
"If you visit, one hour is enough, even if you stay longer, two hours is enough."
"Oh, let's go up the mountain first."
As soon as he said he would leave, Nan Yi took another sip of coffee and followed Karen David out.
After walking for a while, the group came to the Mehrangarh Fort on Bird Mountain.
Well, the building is quite majestic, and the earthen guns on the fort are also well maintained. With gunpowder and projectiles stuffed in, it should not explode after two or three shots.
Most of the man-made scenery can only be seen from a distance, and cannot be played with. If you are really in it, it will make people feel that it is just that, and it is really not worth traveling thousands of miles to come here.
It's better to look at the photos taken by the photographer carefully selected the best time and angle, use your brain, imagine the scenery in a better direction, and integrate all possible and impossible illusions and expectations into it, and then don't try to break it. fantasy.
While visiting, Karen Devi acted as a part-time tour guide to introduce the history of Mehrangarh Fort to Nanyi, thinking that back then, the king would defeat whoever and so on here...
Karen Devi definitely has no talent for being a tour guide. She doesn't understand what Nanyi, a prospective guest, wants to hear. She doesn't know how to talk about the adultery between the general and the queen, even if it's just a nonsense.
History, it’s just for fun, it’s like asking a man in a cuckold to objectively record and evaluate the process of his wife’s affair with her lover, it’s impossible for an individual to be objective.
Besides, sometimes only thirty years separate the hero from the criminal.
After thirty years or so, Xian Xiuyu and his wife will probably be able to enjoy various preferential policies.
"Whoosh, whoosh...beep!"
"No, it should be swoosh, slap!"
Nan Yi was leaning over the muzzle and peeking in, when a man and a woman were arguing nearby, speaking in Chinese.
Turning around, looking strangely, there are not many people who can travel abroad these days. Even if they go abroad, they will rarely choose to come to India. Even if they travel to India, it is unlikely that they will come here. It is more likely that they will go to Journey to the West. For example, go to Delhi to see Hanuman, the monkey god who is equal to heaven in India.
After taking a casual glance, Nan Yi looked away, "Karen, there seems to be a performance in the courtyard that we passed just now, let's go and have a look."
Karen David looked at her watch and said, "It's not a good time. They will only perform a formal performance every one and a half hours. The last performance was less than ten minutes past."
"What a coincidence." Nanyi shrugged and said, "I read in the travel brochure that the Mehrangarh Castle is the private property of the Joda family?"
"Yes, the Jodha family was originally the princes of Rajasthan. In the past, their family's influence was mainly in Jodhpur. Now many buildings in the city, including a lot of land, still belong to their family's private property." Karen Day Wei said with an envious tone.
"Oh, it's amazing." After Nanyi praised, he said apologetically: "The sun is too strong, and I feel a little thirsty unconsciously. I see that there is a restaurant in the castle that sells drinks. Let's go and sit."
"Well, I happen to be a little thirsty too."
Nan Yi was about to leave, when a voice came from behind, "Nan Yi?"
"It turned out to be Sister Zhou and Brother Liu. I'm sorry, I didn't recognize them just now." Nanyi Xunsheng turned around, carefully identified them, and said apologetically and politely.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Lilin, who was called Sister Zhou by Nanyi, walked up to Nanyi and asked.
Chen Feng once took Nan Yi to a party in a small circle. It was at this party that Nan Yi met Zhou Lilin and her fiancé, Liu Zhi, Liu Zhi, and Zhou Li Dian, Zhou Lilin's elder brother.
Lightning flashed in Nanyi's mind, and in an instant, he replied: "I came here to look at the samples, and the other company entertained me here. Sister Zhou, are you on a honeymoon trip?"
"No, you must be invited to the wedding, we just come here to relax and relax."
"Oh, I was just going to get something to drink, together?"
"Okay." Zhou Lilin smiled and said, "Lao Liu and I don't know each other well here. It's just a good time to meet you. I'll follow you from now on. Don't sell us out."
"Haha, don't dare to borrow my guts. Wait a minute, we will play with ourselves, and I will let her go back first." Nanyi said, then turned to Karen Devi and said, "Karen, no Sorry, I met two acquaintances, we will stop here today, and we will contact you as soon as possible when the test results of the samples come out."
"It's okay, I will arrange the car to wait at the foot of the mountain, and I will wait in the car too, Adam, you can contact me anytime you need a car."
Nanyi got in touch with Anagar Company in the name of Scarlett Agricultural Group. For Anagar, this is a potential big customer, and Karen David can't help but pay attention to it.
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
After sending Karen David away, Nan Yi took Zhou Lilin and Liu Zhi to the restaurant in the castle.
