The master who came out of the real world

Chapter 66 Mountain Marathon

When the six of them left the high-speed rail station, Chen Xiong's first feeling was that it was a little dry and hot here.

"Let's eat first?"

Chen Xiong twitched his index finger. He checked it when he was free in the car. The mutton in Ganlong Province is excellent, especially lamb. It is controversial to say that Xialong mutton is the best, but it is said to be the best. Lamb one, still no problem.

"What are you thinking about? I must go to Jingtai County first, and then eat when we get there."

Li Sanjiang and five others found a van outside the station, negotiated 350 yuan, and left Tongcheng in a hurry and drove out of the city.

"Hey, are you here to travel?"

The driver looked about 40 years old, somewhat dark, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and driving very fast.

"No, we are here to participate in the Jingtai Xiahe Stone Forest Mountain Marathon."

Li Sanjiang smiled and said a few words: "Master, the smell of your cigarette is making me a little carsick. Can you put it out?"

"All right, let me tell you that you don't look like you are here for a tour. How can a tour be for a group of old men?"

The driver swore hard and threw the cigarette out of the car: "But don't mention it, the number of people traveling in Jingtai has really increased in recent years, and even those of us who drive sports cars can earn more."

Those who engage in sports, eat and drink occasionally, as long as it does not affect the competition training, sometimes the coach will turn a blind eye, especially after achieving good results, everyone will drink together at the celebration dinner.

But smoking is more strictly regulated, especially those engaged in track and field. Smoking is strictly prohibited.

Li Sanjiang and the driver chatted for a while, while the rest of the group played with their mobile phones or looked at the scenery outside the car.

Chen Xiong glanced twice and saw that there were many mountains here and they were quite high.

After an hour or so, the six of them arrived at a convenient hotel.

Li Sanjiang cleared his throat: "Let me tell you first, the daily food and accommodation subsidy for each of you is 120 yuan per person. Don't worry about invoices or anything like that. I will take care of it. It's up to you how to spend your food, accommodation and food. .”

"I know, coach, let's share a double room together."

"Ah."

After finishing speaking, Li Sanjiang pulled Chen Xiong aside and said in a low voice: "You are here as a teaching assistant. You did not register with a quota in the team. The registration fee for this marathon is 500 yuan. You can use your room and board subsidy to cover it." of."

"Fuck it, it's so expensive!"

Chen Xiong was shocked: "The general marathon registration fee is only 100-200 yuan, Lao Li, I rarely participate in competitions, so don't lie to me?"

"Why lie to you, this is still the registration fee for the marathon, and the registration fee for cross-country running is still 1000 yuan."

Li Sanjiang looked at him contemptuously: "The registration fee goes to the account of the provincial team. If you really win the ranking, the bonus will go to the account of the provincial team. A 50% commission is indispensable. I want to ask you, if you If I live, I will book a double room and let you prostitute for free, but let me say first, I snore at night, and the sound is a bit loud."

What a whore.

Chen Xiong couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "You're really nice, but thank you, I live by myself."

"Okay, don't worry about eating. When you come out to play, I'll be the coach and you'll be hungry. Put your things away and let's go out and have a meal."

With a big wave of his hand, Li Sanjiang went to open the room to put things away.

Chen Xiong booked a single room for himself. It seems that this convenient hotel has not been built for a long time. The things are quite new and the price is quite expensive.

It's more than 300 a night, and according to the lady at the front desk, the price will increase in the next few days.

Why do local hotel accommodation prices increase so drastically for any place or event?
Is there no one to take care of it?

Chen Xiong put his bag away, poured a cup of wolfberry tea to suppress his shock, and settled the account with his fingers.

"If you want to stay in shape when you come to compete in other places, you have to spend a minimum of 2000 on food, clothing, housing and transportation. Unless you secure your ranking, it will be difficult to make back the money."

"It's not easy to be a bounty hunter."

Because he came to adapt to the track in advance, the accommodation alone was not a small expense. Fortunately, the round-trip fare was reimbursed by the sports team.

"No, I have to get used to the track tomorrow. Since Lao Li said that the marathon mountain running is completely different from the city running, don't really roll over."

Chen Xiong got up and threw the small card on the ground at the door into the trash can, and then went downstairs to eat. It was already 8 o'clock in the evening. He waited in the lobby for a while, and saw Li Sanjiang leading the team down.

"Let's go, find a restaurant, and take you to try local lamb, sour meat, big bowl of fish, and braised chicken."

While waiting for the food, Chen Xiong asked curiously: "Old Li, you just said that there will be cross-country running in this marathon. What's the situation?"

"This Tongcheng Mountain Marathon has been held just a few years ago. The main purpose is to promote the tourism culture of Tongcheng. Therefore, this marathon has three events: free running, mountain running and cross-country running."

Li Sanjiang explained a few sentences: "There is no entry threshold for free running. Marathon mountain running has threshold requirements for athletes. As for cross-country running, it is a 100-kilometer run in the mountains, also called a [-]-kilometer cross-country race."

"100 kilometers? Is anyone participating in this race?"

Chen Xiong was amazed, running 100 kilometers, this race is going to heaven, right?

"This [-]-kilometer cross-country race is not a formal competition, but more like a gimmick. It involves spending the night in the wild. It is considered a triathlon of running, mountain climbing, and hiking, and it is used to promote tourist scenery."

Li Sanjiang is noncommittal about this kind of competition: "There are not many people participating, but there are, about 1 or 2 people. The competition will last for one and a half days. It seems that the reward is 1 yuan after the competition. Let me see."

Li Sanjiang took out his mobile phone and looked at the official website: "The registration fee for cross-country running is 1000 yuan, the prize money for the first place is 1 yuan, the prize money for finishing the race within 1 hours is 5 yuan, and all runners who finish the race will be rewarded with free tickets to Xiahe Stone Forest Scenic Area for 20 years. Most of them are local donkey friends, and if you work hard to finish the race, you will be treated as a tourist, and you can get a bonus. Hey, boss, why is the lamb I ordered not served yet?"

The boss came out to take a look and pointed to an empty plate on the table: "This is it."

Li Sanjiang: "???" I glanced at my phone, what just happened?
"Um, Boss, you can have another one, no, three."

"okay!"

Chen Xiong smashed his mouth and savored the taste of the lamb meat. It was so smooth and tender that it went down his throat as soon as he put it in his mouth. He didn't taste much.

"Lao Li, can those who sign up for the mountain race also sign up for the cross-country race?"

While eating braised chicken, Chen Xiong asked.

"Hehe, the registration channel has been closed long ago, do you think it's possible?"

Li Sanjiang ate a big bowl of fish and felt that the taste was a bit heavy, not delicious.

This big bowl of fish is made from Xiahe carp. Although the ingredients are quite good, the meat is still a bit thick and fishy, ​​and it is not as delicious as the Jiangcheng fish from Longjiang.

"Ok."

Chen Xiong didn't care too much. This kind of cross-country running has nothing to do with running ability. On the contrary, the knowledge and experience of outdoor hiking are more important.

After eating, because he was participating in the competition, Li Sanjiang couldn't let the team members drink alcohol, so he drank some herbal tea and coconut milk. When he was waiting for the check, he went to a restaurant in a small county and ate more than 1 yuan.

Even if you eat hard food tonight, it's not that hard, right?

Li Sanjiang glanced at someone in his team and secretly exclaimed that he had miscalculated.

It seems that I can only take them to eat packed lunches these days.
