It's easy to find a job in Iceland, they don't pay much attention to academic qualifications, as long as you have a previous experience in this job, you can get a career in Iceland, and the benefits are good.

Jack's career as a tour guide only works one day a week.

Work a day and rest for six days, and there is no need to do any physical work at all, where can I find this kind of tour guide? At least Ye Kai has never heard of such an outrageous company, is this the Nordic welfare system?

The trip was to Ulflyoła, 45 kilometres from Reykjavík, where Jack and his wife's family lived.

"My father-in-law, a former dealer, came to this town after he got tired of city life and lived a life that he had always envied," says Jack. ”

Ye Kai smiled when he heard this: "Since I came to Iceland, I have heard every day that you are tired of city life, are you so tired of it? ”

"Isn't life the same everywhere?" asked Jack rhetorically.

"It's more convenient in the city. Ye Kai said, "Now there is a big difference between towns and cities in China, most of the first-tier cities have reached the level of developed countries, but more places even education is very average." ”

Ye Kai has been to the town. I also went to Hope Elementary School.

The educational environment of the school, the teaching level is very poor, and the city is much better, if it is two children with the same IQ and EQ personality, one goes to school in the city and the other goes to school in the town.

The final results may be two extremes, one can be admitted to a prestigious school, and the other may not be able to pass in a university.

Otherwise, why do parents nowadays want to buy a school district house? Or even willing to kneel down for a school district house? It is because of their children's educational resources, and parents see this issue more thoroughly than anyone else.

Jack shrugged, not quite understanding.

Ye Kai didn't say much, the 45 kilometers were over quickly, and Jack parked the car on the side of the road. When he got out of the car, he pointed to a path and said, "From here you go up to the valley, where the sheep are now driven." ”

At this time, a man on a tricycle drove a flock of sheep down the road, and he obviously knew Jack, and greeted him loudly with a smile on his face:

"Jack, you're back, remember to come to the club that night......"

Jack replied, "No problem." ”

Mountain.

It is a volcanic valley, and it is predictable that this valley must have been a huge volcano hundreds or thousands of years ago, and it erupted to form the scene it is today.

There are a lot of sheep and horses in the recess in the middle, but there are no cattle.

Icelanders don't have sheep and cattle, and Ye Kai doesn't know if they don't like to eat or if the cattle don't survive in such an environment, in short, the price of beef is very expensive in Iceland.

Farmers in Iceland mostly raise sheep and horses, which are two of the most popular meats in Iceland.

The status of sheep in Iceland is still very high.

They are a relatively pure Nordic variety, hardy and well adapted to the harsh natural conditions here. For this reason, Icelanders also grazed this sheep in the wild in the winter in ancient times.

Icelandic sheep provided lamb and milk for the winter of Iceland's ancestors, and wool was also used to make clothing to protect against the cold. It can be said that sheep are one of the key factors that Icelanders have been able to survive in the harsh natural environment of the past.

Hundreds of years old, the Sheep Festival is one of Iceland's oldest traditions and is a unique way for farmers to celebrate their harvest.

After all, the land here is not suitable for farming, and the food source is these meats, so it is normal to celebrate during the harvest.

Everywhere there are sheep, everywhere there are people.

Elderly, adults, children. Old sheep, young sheep, little sheep...... Looking down from a high place, it is dense, and the people who are afraid of it are estimated that they will not take a second look, and after a little look at it, Ye Kai guessed that there were a total of one or two thousand sheep here.

In addition to this, there are horses.

Jack said to Ye Kai: "You can play casually here, I'm going to look for our sheep, it is estimated that it will take more than an hour, and I will call you when I am done?"

"Okay, you can go on your own first. ”

Ye Kai also just wanted to take a look here, and he was afraid that an hour would not be enough.

In the crowd, some children playfully straddled the sheep's backs, playing and helping their parents distinguish their own sheep...... Every farmer used to mark the ears of their sheep, but now they only need to find them through the markers.

But Ye Kai is still very strange, didn't these sheep hide?

I wanted to ask Jack, but Jack was now far away and was shuttling around the crowd, so Ye Kai stopped a man with his son and found his sheep and was about to go home.

"Hello, I want to ask a question, is it okay?"

The little boy said, "What's wrong with you?"

His father said, "If there's anything I can do to help you, just say it." ”

"How did the sheep get found here, did the whole country get the sheep here, or did the sheep from the nearby farm get driven to this place?"

"The whole country?haha, of course it can't be!" the man laughed, "It's too much for the sheep in the whole country to be put in one place, and there are only these sheep in this valley, all of them are from nearby farms, so if you can't find them, you can look for them a few more times." ”

"We have been looking for sheep since a week ago, and every one of us is looking for them, and when we find them, we will drive them here, whether they are alone or in groups, and even if we hide them in a week's time, we can find them.

Got it, got it.

"Then they won't run far?"

"They don't run far, they always stay in one area, and the animals don't need to move too far from home, so we just look for them in this valley. ”

The man's name was Lotton, and he had another job, but he ran a small farm with his children for the pleasure of nature, and they had about eighty sheep.

Lotdong was particularly proud, touching his child's head and saying, "My son is only nine years old, but he takes care of these sheep most of the time. ”

"Wow, that's really amazing. ”

What can an eight-year-old child do? Ye Kai felt that many eight-year-old children were waving sticks and shouting that I was the Monkey King, right? No, children nowadays don't like the Monkey King.

In short, eight years old is still naïve, and it is rare to be able to do such a big thing at the age when it should be played.

"Can I take a picture of you?" Ye Kai asked.

Lotton replied heartily: "Of course." ”

So, with a large flock of sheep and shepherds in the background, Ye Kai photographed the smiling faces of their two masters, Lotdong was wearing an Icelandic-style sweater and a beanie, touching his child's head and smiling to show his big white teeth.

His child was a little shy, wearing a dark blue down jacket, he lowered his head slightly when he was touched by his father, but his eyes looked at Ye Kai curiously.
