248. Driver's license issued (5)

With Christmas still a week to go, the town has a Christmas flavor.

Maison moved out a loudspeaker and jingled the bell from morning to night, so that Lao Yang couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he heard Jingle-Bell now.

Therefore, there are two ways to destroy a classic song, one is to play it on a continuous loop hundreds or thousands of times, and the other is to order it as a wake-up alarm.

Nicole has been doing well recently, and Lao Yang rushed over to help.

Considering that the two are in love, Lang is in love with each other, Lang is a concubine, Lang is talented and beautiful, and dry firewood, he feels that he should generally become husband and wife with Nicole, so that the flower shop is the joint property of the two, and he has to be careful.

Nicole's business is naturally related to Christmas, and although there is no snow in December in South Africa, Christmas here also requires a Christmas tree, which is a tradition left by the British for many years in South Africa.

But there are no pine trees in the wild in South Africa, so families have to pay for them, and florists offer Christmas trees to buy them on their behalf.

After the Christmas tree is delivered, it will be sent to other people's homes, and this kind of work used to be the responsibility of the old knights, but now that he is old, he will definitely not need him with Yang Shubao.

This holiday is very important in South Africa, where the townspeople are predominantly white Christians, so it is even more important that every family has a Christmas tree.

Because pine trees are not abundant in Africa, although there are also timber companies that grow pine trees, its price is still relatively high, and real pine trees sell for 2,000 rand each, which is quite exaggerated.

Yang Shubao saw a business opportunity in this, so he discussed with Nicole: "How about I also plant a batch of pine trees? It only takes a year, and it will be ready for sale next year." ”

Nicole laughed and said, "You want to sell Christmas trees to make a profit?"

Yang Shubao nodded heavily: "There are too many animals in the reserve, and there is a lot of pressure to feed them." ”

"If you can really grow Christmas trees to make money, you can grow them alive," Nicole said. If it weren't for the money I would suggest you plant African iron pine, I think this kind of tree makes more sense for your turf. ”

Yang Shubao didn't know much about this plant, so he asked rhetorically: "African iron pine?"

Nicole nodded: "Yes, African iron pines, they are also very long, they can grow to more than seventy meters high, and the diameter at breast height can reach three meters and five, isn't it good?"

Because of the Tree of Life, Yang Shubao was really interested in these trees that could grow to very tall, so he asked, "This kind of tree is still very valuable, isn't it? ”

Nicole said: "Of course, iron pine has many uses, they are heavy, rot-resistant, easy to process, and can be used to make telephone poles, boats, bridges, houses, furniture, and so on. Their pine nuts are great, flavorful and nutritious. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lao Yang became interested: "Yes, then plant!"

He's an environmental maniac now.

Nicole continued: "The reason I let you plant is not because of economic value, but because of ecological value. Its ecological value is particularly large, absorbing carbon and exhaling oxygen, conserving water sources, preventing wind and fixing sand, and so on. ”

She searched the Internet for relevant knowledge to show him, African iron pine forests are known as African reservoirs, their root system is very developed, can firmly grasp the earth to fix the soil, maintain water, so that the water and soil do not run.

For example, one hectare of African iron pine forests has an effective water storage capacity of 1,505 tons and a saturated water storage capacity of 4,740.2 tons, far exceeding that of other forests.

There is also the ability to absorb carbon and exhale oxygen, the same hectare of African iron pine forest can absorb 17 tons of carbon dioxide every year, while emitting 10.5 tons of oxygen, and release a large number of negative ions, which is very beneficial to human health, can eliminate harmful germs and dust, and purify the air.

However, this tree is not low, 500 rand per 100 saplings.

Compared to Christmas trees, this seems to be very cheap, but you must know that these saplings are only palm-sized small seedlings, almost just the tree species has just developed, and it is estimated that a hundred cheap trees will only cost two or three hundred rand.

It is not the saplings that are expensive to cultivate the iron pine forest, but the artificial, the same is to plant a hundred saplings costs a thousand yuan, and its root system is large, so the tree pit that needs to be dug is also large.

In this regard, Yang Shubao does not need to spend money, he can let the goblins grow slowly.

Thinking of this, the tree spirit panel popped up at the right time and gave him a reasonable evaluation: [Young city lord, you should be called Yang Papi]

Lao Yang closed the panel with a comfortable face, and he didn't see it.

Today, I helped Nicole send five more Christmas trees, and after finishing the work, Uncle Yang rode back.

Hall beckoned to him at the door: "Yang, your driver's license is done, four thousand yuan." ”

Uncle Yang was overjoyed: "Very good, this price is quite cheap?"

Hall shrugged and said, "It's cheap, if you're willing to take the test yourself, it's only 1,500 yuan." ”

It is relatively simple to get a driver's license in South Africa, like Lao Yang, if he wants to get a driver's license through formal channels, he first needs to apply for a traffic number with his driver's license, then go to the nearby traffic bureau to apply for the canon test, and finally learn to drive for a road test.

Among them, the traffic regulation test is a written test, with a total of 80 questions in two hours, and more than 75 correct answers are considered to be passed.

Amazingly, there is a driver's license in South Africa called a junior driver's license, which can be obtained and can be used on the road as long as you pass the written test, but you need to have a person with a full driver's license in the co-pilot to guide you.

Passing the written test is a road test, which is more relaxed, and you can learn from your own driving school or be taught by friends.

Hall said that the price of 1,000 and 5 is still the price of going to a driving school to learn, and the instructors of the driving school are charged according to the hour, ranging from 80 yuan to 150 yuan an hour, and basically they can be taught within 10 hours.

In other words, if you are a little more ruthless in South Africa, you can get it in one day......

Compared to China, South Africa's traffic management is lax.

Yang Shubao has not yet learned to drive, but when he bought a driver's license, the other party said that he would come to be an instructor on a weekend, and he could learn to drive in an hour.

It is very safe to drive in a place like a resort town, you can't meet a few cars on the road for half a day, the roadside is grass, the situation is not good, it is a big deal to drill into the grassland, and there will be no accidents without drunk driving and drug driving.

He handed over the money to Hall on the spot, Hall handed him his driver's license, and Lao Yang looked at his photo happily, and he was also a certified person from now on.

Hall asked him, "Do you want to learn to drive now?" soon. ”

"It's a little late, isn't it?" said Lao Yang hesitantly after looking up at the sky.

Hall said, "Then tomorrow, I'll be free tomorrow." ”

Yang Shubao agreed and stepped on the motorcycle, but Mason stopped him again: "Don't rush to go, man, do me a favor, let's make a Christmas tree." ”

Yang Shubao was stunned: "Make a Christmas tree?"

Mason nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going to make the best Christmas tree, I've been preparing for this for a year, I've been preparing since the end of Christmas last year, and this year I've prepared enough tools, come on baby." ”
