Chapter 727 New contacts
"Hi."
"Hi, did you have a good trip?"
"Very nice, how about you?"
"Same, I am also very happy, the sun is good today, it is a good day to drink coffee."
"uh-huh."
After Nanyi had dealt with an enthusiastic foreigner, he took Zhou Lilin and Liu Zhi to sit down at a table, beckoned to a waiter, took a glance at a menu card, "Fortunately, there is English, if the Indian I can't speak the local language, what do you want to drink, Sister Zhou and Brother Liu?"
Nanyi only asked, but did not hand out the menu.
As far as he knows, although Zhou Lilin has just obtained a double master's degree, she should actually be able to survive. Her college entrance examination scores are not worth mentioning. The university is an evening college for employees of electric power systems. The brand of a master's degree is quite strong. It's next door to Beijing University, but I heard that she can get a diploma and said that her English level must be good enough.
As for Liu Zhi, Nanyi didn't know much about him, so it's better to be on the safe side, so as not to scold the bald donkey in front of the monk.
"Nanyi, are the things here clean?" Zhou Lilin looked around and asked with lingering fear.
From the looks of it, Zhou Lilin should have been hit.
"You can't drink Ganges River water here, so there shouldn't be any problem." Nan Yi said lightly, holding back a smile.
"Then I want Lacy, it's delicious, how about you, Old Liu?"
"Same as you." Liu Zhi replied to Zhou Lilin, and then said to Nanyi: "Nanyi, we all want Laxi."
"OK."
Nan Yi responded and whispered something to the waiter.
"Nanyi, how long will you stay in Jodhpur?" Zhou Lilin asked hurriedly as soon as the waiter left.
"According to my original itinerary, I have to leave for Mumbai after noon tomorrow. Sister Zhou, where did you come from, Delhi or Mumbai?"
"No, we are transiting from Pakistan. We just arrived this morning and came here after wandering around the city."
Nanyi was troubled for a while, "Do you have any travel plans in India?"
"No, we still have eight days. We can go to as many places as we can, and we can go wherever we go."
"Since there is no plan, then you continue to play in the afternoon and return to Mumbai with me at noon tomorrow? According to your time and budget, you can visit the attractions around Mumbai when you arrive in Mumbai, and you can also go to Delhi and Varanasi. In the end, I just flew back after playing.”
"Mumbai is your point in India?" Zhou Lilin asked.
"Well, I have a company and a place to live in Mumbai. Sister Zhou, you can live with me in Mumbai."
"It's still you, you don't go around the country, you go around the world."
"Haha, I can't help it. My second job is in Hong Kong, and I'm in contact with Hong Kong and foreign businessmen. Sister Zhou, you see, I'm so handsome. No, I was spotted by foreign businessmen. I cried and asked for it. I will be his manager and give me 200,000 Meizi a year, I hesitated a bit and agreed when I saw how much he valued me, as for Meizi, to be honest, I don’t care at all.”
"Hahaha, everyone says you are shameless, so you are not lying, two hundred thousand dollars, you say you don't care?" Zhou Lilin laughed loudly.
"Nanyi, didn't you go to Xiangtang in your senior year? How do you say it's a second job?" Liu Zhi asked.
"That's right. My first job was at Beijing University. I was a college student and a cadre. Isn't that also counted as my seniority? Of course it's work."
"Old Liu, college students are indeed a job, and there is nothing wrong with what Nanyi said."
It can be seen that between Zhou Lilin and Liu Zhi, Zhou Lilin is in the dominant position, showing a stronger performance.
"Nan Yi, what business do you do in India?"
"Farm produce, guar beans."
"What is guar bean? Is there another name?" Zhou Lilin asked curiously.
"It's also called Guanhua bean. We don't grow much of this kind of bean in China. In the 1920s, some people in Yunnan Province planted it as a novelty. It wasn't until more than ten years ago that galactomannan gum was used in our country. Guar cultivation is promoted in several regions.
From a chemical point of view, the molecular formula of guar beans is galactomannan, a polysaccharide composed of sugar galactose and mannose, which can be used in medicine to suppress blood sugar, lower cholesterol, and help defecation. "
"It's not for food, but for medicine?"
"It's not just that guar beans can't be used as a staple food, but they can be used as food additives, and can also be used as food ingredients to add to ice cream, wagashi, instant noodles, and many other foods. The scope of application is quite wide. I come to buy them. Guar is meant to be used in food."
Regarding guar beans, Nanyi has some reservations. In fact, most of the guar gum made from guar beans is used in industrial fields, especially drilling platforms. The consumption of guar gum is huge, and it is used as a control agent. To facilitate drilling and prevent fluid loss.
Once the price of guar beans soars, the cost of drilling rigs will also skyrocket, which will cause regional oil prices to rise to a certain extent, and will easily cause some oil companies to go bankrupt.
"Nanyi, are you still in the food business?"
"Brother Liu, it's not repayment. I mainly do food business, and other businesses can only be said to be incidental."
"Then your business has grown so big, Yaqing's such a big deal is just incidental?" Zhou Lilin teased.
"Sister Zhou, don't laugh at me. I am a wage earner in Yaqing Company. My grandma has a little share. But to be honest, my grandma is my grandma, and I am me. I can take care of you, but Fang Group's surname is Fang."
"Haha, whatever its last name, Grandma Fang is your grandma."
"That's true, I'm my grandma's precious grandson." Nan Yi said with a smile on his face.
At this time, the waiter just came over to deliver drinks, and after he interrupted, the three of Nanyi just changed the topic.
"Nanyi, Xiaolin and I came to India this time and wanted to visit the Daleiyin Temple, but I looked through the travel brochure for a long time, but I didn't see any introduction about the Daleiyin Temple from it. Do you know where it is? "
"Brother Liu, you mean the Great Leiyin Temple in "Journey to the West"?"
"That's right, I know it's a fiction, but there must be a truth when Xuanzang went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, right?" Liu Zhi said.
"That's right. The temple where Xuanzang learned Buddhist scriptures is called Nalanda Temple. It seems to be a Buddhist university. There are many lecturers who give lectures to monks who go there to learn Buddhist scriptures. Xuanzang said he was going to learn Buddhist scriptures, but in fact he should say he was going to study.
More than 800 years ago, when the Turkic army invaded ancient India, the Nalanda Temple was burned down, and the monks inside were also dismissed. Since then, Buddhism has declined in India and has been replaced by Hinduism. "
"Burn it? That's a pity, I won't see it anymore." Zhou Lilin said regretfully.
Nanyi had vaguely heard that Zhou Lilin believed in Buddhism, but he didn't know which Buddhist family he believed in.
"It can still be seen that the ruins were discovered more than a hundred years ago in Bihar, and now it has become a heritage park. Tickets are collected, and there is also the Xuanzang Memorial Hall inside, which was built with money from our country. .”
Zhou Lilin said, "Why didn't I know about this?"
"It's a long time ago. It happened in the 1950s. I forgot the specific five years ago. It was the last time I went to Varanasi's Sarnath to hear what the staff said, so I didn't remember it too seriously."
"No wonder, Nanyi, do you think Nalanda Temple is worth visiting?"
"I don't know, I haven't been there, I haven't even seen the photos, so I can't give you any advice at all. When I get back to Mumbai, I'll find some photos for you to see first, and you can make your own decisions."
"Alright, it's rare to come here, it's worth going or I want to go."
"Sister Zhou, do you believe in Buddhism?"
"I believe in Tibetan Buddhism." Zhou Lilin said devoutly.
"No wonder." Nan Yi nodded and said to Liu Zhi: "Brother Liu, do you also believe in Buddhism?"
Liu Zhi waved his hand, "I don't believe it. I just read "Journey to the West" and I'm curious about India. I came to India mainly to accompany Xiaolin, but I heard that there is a monkey god in India who may be the prototype of Monkey King. I'm very interested to see it. look."
"As for the prototype of Sun Wukong, I am inclined to Lu Xun's statement. It should be the mythical beast Huaizuo water god Wuzhiqi in the period of Dayu's water control period."
"No, no, Wuzhiqi should be just one of the prototypes. When Wu Chengen wrote "Journey to the West", he referred to "Da Tang Western Regions" written by Bian Ji. That book was dictated by Xuanzang, and there was a mention of Hanu in it. Man."
"Brother Liu, if you want to say that Monkey King and Hanuman are related, it can really be related. According to the Indian side, Hanuman can ride the clouds and ride the fog, and he used to subdue demons, and Hanuman's weapon is called Tiger head Ruyi gold stick;
However, this name cannot be counted. It was translated during the Republic of China, and it was translated by cultural people who agreed that Hanuman was the prototype of Monkey King. It may have been done deliberately.
In addition, Hanuman also has the art of changing. In the "Wonderful Chapter" of the fifth chapter of "Ramayan", it is recorded that Hanuman jumped over the sea to the city of Lenga, turned into a cat, and sneaked into the city. A story of visitation everywhere.
I haven't read "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", so I don't know what it says. However, Brother Liu, Hanuman is a god in Hinduism. Buddhism and Hinduism are rivals. Xuanzang would not praise his rivals, would he? "
"This..." Liu Zhi was embarrassed, and said, "Actually, I haven't read "The Great Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions" before. So small."
"Xuanzang has a lot of magnanimity, but Bianji's magnanimity may not be. He was cut in half by Li Shimin for having an affair with the princess."
"Oh, what are you two arguing about? When you get back to China, you can find a copy of "The Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" and you'll know what's written in it."
Seeing Liu Zhi and Nan Yi's vigorous argument, Zhou Lilin quickly jumped out to interrupt.
"That's right, sister Zhou is right, just look at it. Brother Liu, no matter whether Hanuman is the prototype of Monkey King or not, you can go and see it if you want. Its statue is in the suburbs of Delhi, and it is very convenient to go there."
"I'll definitely go when I have time." Liu Zhi said, turned his head to look around, then looked back at Nanyi, and asked, "Can I smoke here?"
"It's best not to smoke. This is a tourist attraction and privately owned. There are foreigners around. Sister Zhou, have you shopped all over? If so, shall we go down the mountain?"
"I've looked everywhere, Nanyi, what about you?"
Zhou Lilin naturally understood the reason why Nanyi asked this question. He took care of his fiancé's needs, so he naturally had to take care of other people's feelings.
"I don't care. I've never been interested in scenic spots. If it wasn't arranged by the other party, I wouldn't come here."
As Nanyi said, he beckoned and called the waiter over.
After knowing how to post the bill, the three of them walked down the mountain. As soon as they got halfway up the mountain, Liu Zhi put a cigarette in his mouth.
"It's also strange. The more you can't smoke, the more you want to smoke." Liu Zhi said with emotion after taking two puffs and enjoying himself.
"Normal, I used to be like this too."
"Nanyi, how did you quit smoking?" Zhou Lilin asked curiously.
Nanyi glanced at Liu Zhi, and caught a painful expression on his face, "Liu Zhen said that my cigarette mouthpiece smells too bad, so I have to quit. If I don't quit, I won't be allowed to go to bed. It's okay, so I have to quit."
After finishing speaking, Nanyi murmured in his heart: "Brother Liu, I can only help you so far."
"Hahaha, Nanyi, you are so funny."
Zhou Lilin laughed out loud.
Dapeng spreads its wings and hates the sky!
