Most of these mountain porters have a certain age, and many of them have been engaged in this profession for generations. Every year, only in the tourist season can they earn a certain income by picking goods and selling them up the mountain.
It happened in Taian, Shandong. When a young man climbed Mount Tai, he found an older mountain bearer carrying goods up the mountain. The young man thought it was not easy to pick the mountain, so he chose to help them pick the goods together.
Although the young man is very kind, his thinking is too simple. It's hard to pick a mountain. After he took over the burden as a mountain bearer, he was instantly overwhelmed by hundreds of kilograms of goods. Mountain pickers use shoulders when picking goods, while ordinary people don't need shoulders at all because they are untrained. Fortunately, this young man is young and strong, and he quickly adjusted his state and began to pick up goods one by one.
Why are the prices of commodities on the mountain high? When the news of # Young Mount Tai helping mountain pickers to carry goods # was brushed on the hot search, many people realized that it might be because the work of mountain pickers was really not easy, so the goods on the mountain were sold at high prices. Most mountain pickers have to get up early every day and carry the goods from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain one by one, which consumes a lot of physical strength and is prone to danger if they are not careful.
In this case, the prices of water and food sold in tourist attractions are relatively expensive, which is understandable. Of course, what I said is understandable, excluding sky-high commodities. Merchants who sell high-priced goods are unscrupulous merchants. It is not easy to be a mountain bearer, and ordinary mineral water can't sell at a high price.
