Chapter 1192 The Real Wilderness

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when Han Li returned to the hotel. He never thought that he just wanted to go in to gain some experience.

I don't know if it was because Han Li spoke fluent Gaelic, or because he was too charming when playing with others using the bagpipes, or because of other reasons.

During the period, he was pulled aside by a bridesmaid to feel the warmth of Inverness in winter. It was really warm, but the position of the two people now seemed a bit inappropriate.

In fact, it was nothing. The wedding banquet was just another kind of ladder climbing. It was normal to have such a situation in the current English atmosphere.

But what Han Li didn't expect was that as the bride of today's heroine, she might have heard the noise, or she might have planned it with her bestie, and she actually came quietly to join in the fun.

This made Han Li wonder after taking a shower and lying on the bed before going to bed, do these foreigners really have faith?

(Inverness is one of the few cities where Gaelic is still spoken. The residents here firmly believe that Gaelic is the true mother tongue of Scotland and represents the inheritance of the immortal spirit of Scotland.

Gaelic: This is a language with a slow pronunciation rhythm and many repetitions, with a strong local accent, which is very challenging for pronunciation and listening.)

The next day, Han Li continued to visit the city after breakfast.

Since Han Li got lost after driving away from London, he basically buys the latest and most detailed local map and some information about the local customs and habits wherever he goes.

This is also an important reason why Han Li has never lost his way again and has never had any quarrels or conflicts with the locals.

Next, when Han Li strolled to the dock, he happened to meet a fishing boat coming back.

Han Li was immediately moved when he saw the workers carrying the split things, because this thing is relatively rare in China, or it is difficult to obtain.

But in England, in Scotland, especially in Inverness, it is very common, and the number is relatively large and the seal set is relatively common.

Seal meat. It is delicious and nutritious, and is considered a top-quality delicacy in many areas.

Seal meat is mild in nature and can be used by men, women, young and old. Han Li took it back to give his family a good start.

Seal oil, which is made from seal fat, has been proven to have many effects by scientists in the Maple Leaf Country in the 1970s.

For example: seal oil can nourish yin and yang, nourish the liver and kidneys, replenish blood and qi, effectively prevent and reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular embolism, delay human aging, maintain skin elasticity, and improve joint and bone function.

After Han Li prepares seal oil, he plans to let his father and mother use it as a daily health product.

Seal intestines can be used to make strings; seal liver is rich in vitamins and is a highly valuable tonic.

Strings? Han Li doesn't plan to make them, but it's good to stew them back for his family.

The guns, bullets, cannons, and ropes of male seals are regarded as top-quality ingredients by foreigners because of their special effects.

But in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine, these things have the effects of strengthening the brain and kidney, producing essence and blood, and strengthening yang.

After a little preparation, the effect is several levels higher than that of foreigners stewing them.

Even if the folks use them to make wine, the effect is much better than stewing them.

By the way, this set of things seems to be called sea lion kidneys in China, and now they are still the exclusive benefits of Han's father.

The parts of the seal are not as valuable as seal skin in the eyes of foreigners. This is because seal skin has unique good warmth retention, breathability, waterproofness, durability, and lightness far lower than other furs, which makes it always in short supply in the market.

Since the 18th century, seal skin has become a common raw material for shops in England and Scotland, and sometimes it can even be used instead of currency.

Han Li bought all three seals on the fishing boat, but he was not very satisfied with the number.

The amount of meat does not matter, but the amount of seal skin is far from enough in Han Li's opinion.

Because there are too many people in the family, it is not realistic to make a set of leather clothes for everyone in the family with seal skin, but at least everyone should have a leather vest.

So Han Li did not leave the dock after buying the seals on the fishing boat. He found a cafe and sat in.

Han Li waited for the next fishing boat to arrive here, while asking others about the situation in this regard.

Han Li stayed here until more than 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and bought a total of eleven complete seals, of which only three were male seals.

Because there were basically no more fishing boats entering the port in the afternoon, Han Li went to the shops that had been doing seal business in the old town of Inverness in the afternoon according to the information he had inquired in the cafe.

Han Li bought a total of thirty bottles of semi-finished seal oil, twelve sets of guns, bullets, cannons, and ropes for male seals, and twenty-six tanned seal skins in these shops.

After buying these things, it was already dark. Han Li had been busy all day today and didn't want to move at night, so he had a simple meal outside and went back to the hotel.

After Han Li returned to the room, he did the same old thing. He took out the spring water from the vast peach garden, boiled it, made himself a cup of tea, and finally sat on the sofa and took out the map and books he bought today to read.

When Han Li saw the A9, A99, A836, A838, A832 and other numbered roads in a magazine, something suddenly occurred to him.

So Han Li quickly took out the map and found these roads one by one on it. Finally, he connected them with a pen and remembered them immediately.

Because if these roads were connected, it would be the NC500 road that was very popular on the Internet in later generations.

It is said that a prince of England proposed at a meeting to repair and connect the unconnected places between the roads that almost no one usually passes by.

So there was this NC500 road with a total length of more than 500 miles (about 800 kilometers), and gas stations, small hotels and fast food restaurants were built at every distance to provide necessary services to tourists there.

Because the terminus of the world-famous A28 road with many tourists is in Inverness, in order to attract more tourists, the starting point and end point of this NC500 road are all set in Inverness.

The NC500 road was officially opened to the public in June 2015. The slogan at that time was.

One road allows tourists to experience the most beautiful scenery of the wilderness, mountains, canyons, beaches, lakes, cliffs, castles and ancient ruins on the Scottish Highlands, as well as the unique villages and towns.

The prince's effect is very powerful. Once the NC500 road was launched, it was immediately sought after by many people.

Whether the scenery of this road is really good, or the prince or the English government has made great efforts in public relations.

In a short time, the NC500 road was rated as "One of the Six Most Beautiful Coastal Roads in the World" by a world-renowned travel magazine.

This evaluation attracted countless people to go there. After taking a short break along the A28 road to Inverness, they will immediately start the journey of this most beautiful coastal road.

Many good people even shouted that the experience and appreciation value of this road is far greater than the original Route 66 in the United States.

At this time, Route 66 in the United States had long been scrapped, but it still had many fans and supporters. It was precisely because of this that the supporters of both sides had been spitting at each other online for a long time.

At the time Han Li was currently in, most sections of these roads were basically in a state of no one caring about them.

Most places were still not open, which made Han Li very interested.

Han Li thought of this and took the map and looked at it carefully. The more he looked, the more he felt that he should go there to experience it.

Although many roads have not been connected together, it will be difficult to walk in those places, but for Han Li who has a golden finger, it is not a big deal at all.

Besides, if he doesn't go now, will he wait until everyone is there?

At that time, will people enjoy the scenery, people enjoy people? Or will the scenery enjoy people?

Han Li remembered the situation of shoulders rubbing shoulders and toes touching heels in scenic spots during holidays in his previous life on the Internet, and immediately made up his mind that he would rather go back two days later to go to the real high ground for a walk.

After Han Li made up his mind, he took the map and began to plan the next route for himself.

Because Han Li had some impression of the NC500 road in his mind, combined with the marks on the map, he found that.

If you start from Inverness and complete this circle, there are two best routes.

One way is to go west after leaving Inverness, turn north after entering the A890 road, drive into the A835 road and the A894 road, and go all the way to Durness in the northwest corner of Scotland.

Then drive east to John O'Groats in the northeast of Scotland, and from here go south along the A99 road and the A9 road on the east coast to return to Inverness to end this trip.

Finally, based on his approximate daily mileage, plus the special conditions of weather and roads, Han Li estimated that if everything goes well, this circle will take about ten days, which he can afford.

Han Li checked out of the room after breakfast the next day. He drove the RV to the city to do some shopping, and then left Inverness.

The RV headed west and stepped on the accelerator. At noon, Han Li arrived at the nearest intersection between A890 and A835.

However, if he wanted to drive to A835, the next ten kilometers of low-level rural roads would be more than ten kilometers.

Han Li didn't take it seriously at first. He saw the situation on the map. This section of the road was nothing more than a two-lane road turned into a single lane. He could drive slower at most without any problems. The really difficult road was still behind.

But not long after, the asphalt surface on the road turned into a gravel road. Gravel was gravel, as long as it could be used, it was not a problem.

When he was halfway through the ten kilometers, Han Li cursed those map publishers in his heart.
