Chapter 464: The Old Lady's Family Arrives
In the age of the Internet, any news spreads extremely quickly. In addition, in recent years, the emergence of many film and television works has made many ordinary people have a strong interest in abnormal things, including the mysterious ocean.
The news of the discovery of the white dolphin, the suspected messenger of the 'sea god', spread in the Antarctic Sea, which instantly aroused the curiosity of reporters and researchers around the world. Those whale guards who witnessed the magic of white dolphins also instantly became the focus of major media pursuits.
Even the rescued whaling crew members have received media attention from all sides. It's just that, as the 'evil' side, the little devil's stubborn refusal to give up the whaling policy has once again been attacked by environmental groups in many countries.
Many people in the whaling industry are also scared enough after seeing this video. As the saying goes, 'if you do something wrong, you are afraid that ghosts will knock on the door', these people are also very worried that one day they will be approached by white dolphins.
Thousands of tons of whaling ships have been sunk by whales, so once the whales are crazy, the destructive power caused by the whales is afraid that no one dares to underestimate it. What if there are advanced weapons, the sea still belongs to marine life after all.
What's more, in this bizarre event, there are also several legendary king squid. This also means that once a whaling ship is targeted by white dolphins, the consequences can be imagined. Next time, whether the crew will survive or not, then dare not say!
In short, the white dolphin incident in the Antarctic Sea has caused more people's attention to turn to the Antarctic Sea. Many countries have sent ships and research vessels to carry out dragnet searches in the Antarctic Sea, hoping to find white dolphins.
Although many people do not believe it, the first scientific research ships to arrive in the Antarctic Sea quickly detected a whaling ship that sank thousands of kilometers below. This means that the bizarre events that are circulating in the video are indeed happening here.
Even because of this, New Sile has issued a ban on ships from going to the Antarctic Sea in the near future. The reason is that the situation in the Antarctic Sea is not stable recently, and it is not recommended that domestic fishing vessels enter this area.
When they received the notice, Hong Wei and the others also said depressedly: "So, we can't go to the Antarctic Sea next?"
"It's okay! We can't go, why don't we just change the sea area to fish? If we don't have king crabs, wouldn't it be the same if we catch more seafood and come back? When this excitement is over, let's go there to catch crabs again. ”
Regarding Zhuang Haiyang's answer, Hong Wei and others thought about it and felt that it made sense. In fact, Zhuang Haiyang was also surprised by the movement. But if you think about it, it is actually normal to cause such a result.
Psychic things have always been circulated among the people, but few people have seen and touched them with their own eyes. The appearance of the white dolphin undoubtedly heralds the emergence of a new intelligent creature. It will cause shocks in various countries, and it is naturally normal.
Thinking about this, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled secretly in private: "It seems that in the future, we should try to be as low-key as possible." However, this time the matter is so big, I can still use the white dolphin to hide my existence in the future. ”
There are pros and cons to everything, and for Zhuang Haiyang, who practices nameless exercises, there are some things that he can't avoid. To put it simply, as his strength improves, there are some things he will do sooner or later, and it is impossible to keep a low profile like this.
As long as you feel that things can be done, why should Zhuang Haiyang worry too much?
Affected by the temporary ban, Zhuang Haiyang, like other fishing vessels in New Zealand, began to choose other sea areas for fishing operations. Fortunately, New Zealand is surrounded by the sea, and if you want to catch common seafood and fish, it is naturally not a problem.
After a few times, although the income is not as good as that of fishing king crab, the money earned each time is also a lot. The most important thing is that the profit of the fishing boat at the moment is obviously much higher than at the beginning.
With the booming business of multinational direct stores, the popularity of Fisherman's seafood direct sales has also spread. In addition to small purchases of goods, the directly managed stores have also launched large purchases of goods.
The vast majority of the seafood is shipped back to Nanzhou Island for secondary distribution. In addition to ensuring the supply of seafood in Shibao Pavilion, it also creates more revenue for the company. Correspondingly, the crew members naturally receive a higher income.
After returning from fishing as usual, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Squad leader, notify me to go down and rest for the next week." Looking at this situation, it is estimated that in another week or so, the ban should be lifted, and we will continue to go crab hunting. ”
"Okay! I'll let you know!"
"If someone is going to go out and about, try to arrange for them to travel with the tour group. There are not many of these guys who have passed the oral test. I'm worried that they'll get lost!"
"Is there a tour group coming?"
"Well, there will be a tour tomorrow, about fifty people. My sister and her family are all here, so I'm going to spend a few days with them on the ranch. After going to sea for so long, it is also necessary for us to take a break halfway. ”
Although this is done, it seems to be a bit of a fake public benefit. But Wang Yanming and others know that Zhuang Haiyang is still a person who cares about family affection. My sister's family came over, and he, who was the master, couldn't leave his sister to go to sea, right?
If it's an early departure and a late return, that's fine. But when they go to sea, they often have to stay at sea for a week. After a long time, maybe my sister's family will have a holiday and won't be able to play with her for a few days, so what a pity?
Considering that there was a special person to accompany him in China, Zhuang Haiyang took the rented bus at noon the next day, drove the car alone to take Concubine Li to Nandao Airport to prepare for boarding. As for the main island, Zhuang Haiyang still didn't go.
Tossing back and forth, it's still a bit of a hassle. Moreover, there are also male and female security personnel specially dispatched by Zhuang Haiyang around the old lady's family, plus full-time tour guides from travel companies, and it doesn't matter if they go or not.
After a period of publicity, the Sea Ranch has recently received a group of domestic and foreign tourists every week. Compared with domestic tourists, most of them will stay on the ranch for a short time, but foreign tourists bring a lot of income to the South Island.
The reason is simple, foreign tourists, although most of the time live on the ranch. Depending on the itinerary, they will still stay at other tourist attractions in the South Island, where they will naturally spend their money.
If there is consumption, it will naturally create income and taxes. It can be said that the tourism reception of marine ranching is also gradually expanding. The South Island side is naturally extremely supportive of this status quo.
Looking at the plane slowly descending from the sky, Zhuang Haiyang and Concubine Li also breathed a sigh of relief. When the plane landed smoothly, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said: "This toss, it is estimated that the old lady must feel tired." ”
"It's a long time to fly so far. It's just that the first-class cabin they sit in should be fine!"
For this overseas trip, Zhuang Haiyang is responsible for all expenses. Compared with other passengers, most of them booked business class, Zhuang Ling's family took first class. Therefore, the level of comfort on the plane is still better than that of other tourists.
Tourists don't say much about this kind of differential treatment. The tour guide itself introduced that Zhuang Ling's family is the boss's sister. Isn't it normal to entertain your own sister, a little special?
Seeing his own sister who walked down from the plane and was still holding the child in her hand, Zhuang Haiyang, who hurriedly stepped forward, also smiled and said, "Sister!"
Zhuang Ling, who heard the call, smiled with a long sigh of relief and said, "Why are you here?"
"If I don't come again, I'm afraid I'll be cleaned up by you later!
"Well, it's just that I've been on the plane for so long, and I'm a little tired. Fortunately, this kid didn't make much of a fuss!"
While speaking, looking at his son who opened his eyes wide in his arms and looked at the surrounding crowd and scenery from time to time, Zhuang Ling also smiled and said, "Haohao, this is uncle and aunt, do you still know each other?"
Just when she was about to introduce her son to her uncle, whom she hadn't seen for a while. Zhuang Haiyang directly stretched out his hand, hugged his niece from his brother-in-law's hand, and said with a smile: "Tingting, have you grown taller again?"
"Really, have I really grown taller?"
The little niece who was praised still looked very kind when she saw Zhuang Haiyang. For her, as she began elementary school, she also became a little ladylike. It's no longer like before, like a tomboy at every turn.
This change is more due to the fact that she began to feel that she was an older sister and should be a little adult.
After chatting with the old lady's family, Zhuang Haiyang handed over his little niece to Concubine Li, and as the owner and boss, he began to walk among the tourists who came to play, and chatted with these tourists.
Then he said: "You have worked hard all the way, and this is about an hour's drive from my ranch. So, you still need to be patient. When we get to the ranch, I'll arrange for you to stay first, and then I'll have dinner, how about it?"
"Okay! We have no opinion, come here and let you arrange everything! It's just that it's delicious, you have to prepare a little more!"
"Don't worry, there's nothing else, there's still a lot of delicious food!"
After chatting with these tourists and expressing the friendship of the landlord, he arranged for the accompanying tour guide and began to let the tourists board the bus. As for Zhuang Ling's family, they naturally sat in the business car they drove.
When Zhuang Ling's family got in the car, Zhuang Haiyang also said in a timely manner: "Tingting, are you hungry?"
When I got off the plane, my aunt bought me something to eat. ”
"Okay, when you get to your uncle's house, your uncle is making you something to eat. By the way, there's your favorite strawberry in the car!"
"Really, wow, so many big strawberries, thank you, uncle, and thank you, aunt!"
Seeing the basket of strawberries that had been washed and cleaned by Concubine Li, the little girl was naturally full of joy. Even the little nephew, who was over one year old, said with a blank eye when he saw those strawberries: "Sister, yes!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who heard this, was also surprised and said: "Haohao's speech is very clear!"
"It's okay! Dad, Mom, Grandma, Sister or something, he still said it more clearly. Others, the ability to express themselves is a little worse. It's okay at home, but if you come outside, you still seem to be a little scared. ”
"Isn't that normal? He's a little older, and if he can be so obedient and not make a fuss, you should be snickering. ”
Looking at his girlfriend who deliberately sat in the back and peeled strawberries for his nephew and niece, Zhuang Haiyang also felt that his girlfriend was performing very well. On the other hand, the nephew, who was still a little afraid of life before, did not resist Concubine Li much after eating strawberries.
If you just want to hug him, the little one will still choose to hide in his mother's arms. For him, he may still feel that his mother's arms are the safest. On the other hand, in the case of nieces, this is not the case.
Originally, this time, Zhuang Haiyang considered taking his brother-in-law and mother out. It's just that, considering the old man's age, the brother-in-law didn't agree in the end. Of course, the elderly themselves do not want to go abroad, but feel more comfortable staying at home.
Eating the strawberries specially selected by Zhuang Haiyang, Zhuang Ling and his wife also had time and began to pay attention to the scenery outside the car. Tourists who take the bus also enjoy similar treatment, each of them receives a few fruits and vegetables from the pasture.
Although some people think that the quantity is too small, the tour guide also said a little apologetically: "These organic fruits and vegetables are all grown in the pasture." Except for the sale to local high-end restaurants and hotels, the number reserved each day is not much.
These fruits and vegetables have just been picked and preserved today. This is also what the boss specially explained to let you try it. Next, we will also provide some of you during the period of food and accommodation at the ranch, and please understand. ”
"If you sell these fruits and vegetables, how many catties can you sell?"
"If you look at a strawberry like this, the price is more than 100 New Zealand dollars. If it is equivalent to RM coins, it is about 4 to 500 yuan. Different fruits and vegetables have different prices. Fruits and vegetables that can be used as ingredients will be more expensive. ”
As soon as these words came out, those tourists who felt that the tour guide was stingy were silent. Some tourists who eat cucumbers also know that they eat one, and it is estimated that it will cost nearly 100 yuan. And all this without charging them extra.
On the contrary, some tourists who have been to Nanshan Island still smile and say: "This fisherman is still as generous as ever! If you are another boss, it is estimated that you are still reluctant to entertain guests for free with such a large basket of fruits and vegetables." ”
With such an evaluation, the tour guides naturally won't interject anything. In fact, compared with the fee for receiving domestic tourists, the fee for receiving foreign tourists at the ranch is higher.
Although companies pursue profits, many times when dealing with domestic tourists, Zhuang Haiyang still doesn't plan to make too much. If there are still tourists who are not satisfied, then Zhuang Haiyang can only say that he hopes that this kind of tourists will not come next time.
When the bus arrived at the ranch, the tourists who came down from the bus soon saw Wang Yanming and others who came to greet them. Among them, the happiest is undoubtedly Wang Yanming's daughter, who saw Liu Ting getting off the car at a glance.
"Wow, Sister Ting! Mom, it's Sister Ting!"
The little girl who was talking rushed over directly. Liu Ting, who also saw Wang Meng, was also very happy and rushed over directly. When the two little girls hugged each other, Zhuang Ling and Lin Xin, who were mothers, couldn't cry or laugh.
Even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, the relationship between the two little girls is still strong. In contrast, the little nephew, who refused to get down from his mother's hands, was still full of curiosity about the ranch. Fortunately, he still doesn't cry or make trouble, and acts more as a spectator.
Other tourists who got off the bus saw the wooden houses built in the woods not far away, and they also felt that the ranch environment was really not to say. Some anxious tourists even took out their mobile phones directly and started their own trip to take pictures!
