Chapter 384, Aurora
Most of the items sold in Iceland's supermarkets are expensive, but there are always exceptions.
Ye Kai walked into a supermarket called Bonus, which is the cheapest supermarket in Iceland and has a complete range of goods, making it the first choice for many Icelanders and tourists to shop.
The disadvantage is that there is no fresh fish and fresh meat, but these things are not used...... At least not today, he is here to buy daily necessities.
The logo of the supermarket is also unique, which is a piglet that has always been pink.
Ye Kai pushed the cart and wandered around the supermarket aimlessly, and when he saw something that might be useful, he put it in the trolley, and now he has built a high base.
"Induction cooker...... Kettle...... Toothpaste, toothbrush...... Quilt pillow...... What else is needed?"
That's right, cutlery!
So I stuffed two sets of cutlery into the trolley, and the knives and forks for Western food were also prepared...... Ye Kai is going to cook Chinese food tomorrow, but he is worried that Icelanders will not use chopsticks.
When he swiped his card and was about to leave the supermarket, Ye Kai found that there were too many things to buy, and he couldn't hold them alone, and the taxis on the street would not stop for him.
Book a taxi?
This thought flashed in Ye Kai's mind, and then Ye Kai thought of the bus that departs every half an hour in Iceland, so he moved these things to the bus stop outside the supermarket twice.
After Ye Kai checked the stop sign, he stood in the bus booth and waited, with the goods at his feet.
A bus came and opened the door in front of Ye Kai, but Ye Kai was indifferent, and the driver had to close the door and continue to drive towards the station in front.
After a while, another one came, and it was still not the car that Ye Kai was waiting for, at this time, a young man playing with his mobile phone came from behind and stood beside Ye Kai, waiting for the bus to open and get on the bus......
Ye Kai came back to his senses, and looked behind him, and there were indeed two people standing.
Waiting for the bus?
He pondered...... Do Icelanders wait at the bus stop instead of waiting for the bus, but wait until the bus they are about to take arrives and then stand at the bus stop to get ready to board.
If no one gets off the train and the driver doesn't see anyone on the platform, he will drive straight past the stop......
Although it was his own conjecture, Ye Kai instinctively felt that he had guessed the root cause, and he was a little embarrassed after suddenly realizing it, but fortunately, the next arriving bus happened to pass by Ye Kai's house.
hurriedly moved things to the car, and Ye Kai saw the situation in the car clearly after the driver left.
Although there is only one bus on the same route in half an hour, the bus is still very deserted and empty, with two people in a row of seats, and only one person in each row.
There were two other people standing.
Seeing this, Ye Kai didn't sit down, and found a convenient position to stand, by the way, to protect the packaged goods under his feet from falling.
The car was very quiet, no one called, no one chatted, some people looked out the window calmly, and some people wore headphones and listened silently.
In such a quiet environment, one of them coughed lightly, attracting the concerned eyes of half of them.
Five minutes later, he arrived at the position where Ye Kai was about to get out of the car, and it took two more trips up and down to pick up everything, although it didn't feel heavy, but there were really too many things.
After Ye got off the bus, the driver drove the bus like a racing car and left.
There was no time to complain about the departure of the bus driver, Ye Kai quickly moved everything into the room, for no other reason, it was about to rain.
The weather in Iceland can change rapidly, sometimes with several rains a day, sunny and cloudy, so it's no wonder that the locals have learned how to predict the weather through the clouds and winds in the sky.
If you don't learn this, you can't do it.
Due to the perennial strong wind, the umbrella is not stable, so Icelanders rarely use umbrellas, if you want to travel on a rainy day, most of them bring raincoats, so tomorrow Ye Kai will have to go to the supermarket to buy raincoats, sweaters, coats, windbreakers......
Maybe something else will be needed, and we'll see when the time comes.
Sighing, Ye Kai, who was lazy and addicted when he was alone, looked at the empty room and the pile of newly bought household appliances in front of him, and was silent for nearly five minutes, just quietly staring at this pile of things.
"Let's take it out and try it first. Ye Kai sighed and said.
If things are not good to use, Ye Kai can only replace them, this is a century-old house, how can you use electrical appliances that are not of good quality?
In this case, the big news on TV tomorrow night will say that a temporary resident from abroad accidentally set fire to his house while using cheap goods, reminding residents to be careful with electrical appliances......
Ye Kai has no doubt that this kind of thing can be in the news, because Icelandic news has always been in this style.
For example, there is a new café on Main Street with a unique taste of coffee. Or maybe a lost house cat is found on a street, so the missing person notice to find the owner becomes the big news the next day.
In the end, Ye Kai found that the cat's home was in a house less than two hundred meters away from the homestay...... This is what Alcean said when he was chatting with Ye Kai.
Iceland is such a place, a small country with few people, no big news, and some such trivial things between neighbors.
When the electricity is connected, the induction cooker makes a 'drip' sound, and it can be used.
Ye Kai tore open the packaging of the stainless steel pot, washed it, took a small half pot of water and put it on the induction cooker to boil, took out a bowl to wash it, and then took out the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from a bag.
Forgot to buy green onions, ginger and garlic...... Ye Kai frowned.
I didn't see the old godmother in the supermarket, let alone Pixian Douban, so what should I make tomorrow?
This is okay, this dish is available all over the world, although the method is different, and the taste is not the same, but the texture is almost the same.
After deciding on a dish, Ye Kai hummed a little song and waited for the water to boil, and put down a package of pasta...... Today, Ye Kai is going to use pasta to make noodle soup to see what the pasta will taste like when made into noodle soup.
Ye Kai personally thinks that it should be able to be eaten like this, when he used to eat pasta, he felt that although the taste was different from somen noodles, it was actually a type of noodles.
The time gradually came to seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun was still hanging in the sky and reluctant to set.
Ye Kai brought the finished noodles to the wiped table, and while watching a movie with a notebook, he tasted the Italian noodle soup with an ordinary taste.
The taste was average, but this salty smell still moved Ye Kai to tears...... It's not easy to taste such a taste in this faraway place!
After eating a bowl of noodles, I am eight points full.
The bowl was put in the sink, I didn't want to wash the dishes, I washed my hands and went back to the computer to continue watching the movie, and it was almost ten o'clock when the movie was over.
The sun outside the window is reluctant to set, the dark night sky is cloudless, if it is the inland Ye Kai, it is certain that tomorrow will be a sunny day, but here?
Ye Kai accidentally found a light bar similar to the Milky Way in the sky, but it was horizontal, very low, and not obvious, like transparent with a little green shadow.
Ye Kai, who had seen a clear Milky Way in Tibet, knew that this was definitely not a Milky Way.
Is it the Northern Lights?
Ye Kai was overjoyed, so he took the key and mobile phone, and then brought the camera bag, went out shopping, and by the way, found an angle to shoot this aurora.
It was faint and inconspicuous, but this was the first time Ye Kai had seen the Northern Lights in his life.
This day deserves to be remembered.
