Chapter 381 The Capture of the Arctic
Xiao Peng exchanged a few words with Old Al and beckoned everyone to move things to the complex. It is also home to the public restaurant of the Science City of New Alesund. Xiao Peng and others also want to eat here.
Probably considering that the people of Ny-Ålsund come from all over the world, the food here is particularly delicious, and when it is time to eat, members of scientific expeditions from different countries of different colors and languages come here to choose the food to be placed on the table, and freshly baked bread and pastries are laid out. There are also five or six kinds of meat such as steak, ham, prawns, etc., and what is even more surprising is that there are many vegetables and fruits here. The neat hall is rich in food and drink, giving people a strong appetite.
"Wow, I'm lucky today, and there's fish. ”
"This cod looks fresh. ”
"I prefer the plaice here, what day is it?
"Don't make a fuss, there's no plane here today, okay?"
"Anyway, thanks to old El, we haven't had any good fish in a month. ”
"Who can blame for this? The price of fish has been much higher recently, and you expect old El, this glutinous rice chicken, to give us fish at a high price? Isn't this a dream?"
"Iron Rooster, I know, what does glutinous rice chicken mean?"
"Don't you need to ask? ”
"Hahaha。。。。。 ”
Old Al listened to these people tease him, and he was not angry, and tapped the rice plate in his hand with a spoon: "Everyone, be quiet, listen to me." ”
Everyone looked at Old El, and Old Al said: "Today we have eaten this rich fish, everyone would like to thank our new Chinese friends in New Ålsund, their generous donations, so that we can taste delicious fish and meat, everyone to our Chinese friends together!"
"Thank you to our Chinese friends!"
"Wow, you're a lifesaver for all of us! We've had no fish on our recipe here for two weeks, and it's a torment!"
"Huaxia friends, say a few words!"
"Yes!
Xiao Peng looked at the coaxing scientists from all over the world, and felt a little helpless. However, Xiao Peng can also understand that staying in this remote town all year round, when it comes to the meal point, everyone on the island can get together, and there are new faces here, which will inevitably arouse everyone's interest.
Xiao Peng coughed a few times, stood up, thought for a long time and didn't know what to say, his face was red after holding it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and picked up the borscht on the table: "Everyone eat and drink well! I will toast everyone with soup instead of wine! Everyone is free, I will do it!"
Looking at Xiao Peng, who was gulping down the soup, all the scientists were stunned. Hey, what does that mean?
Stationmaster Yang even covered his forehead, eager to hide away from Xiao Peng.
What the hell do you think this is on the wine table?
After eating, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng took a tour of the town.
Yang Meng admired while watching: "Look, so many scientific research ships, it is still the most spectacular of our Yellow River Station!"
Xiao Peng agreed with Yang Meng's words. Don't look at so many scientific research stations, they are almost two-story small buildings, but there is a pair of stone lions standing at the entrance of the Yellow River Station. It was specially shipped from the country, and in the whole of Ny-Ålsund, it was unique.
Yang Meng pointed to a building and said, "Let's go, there's a souvenir shop, let's go and see what to sell inside?"
The two of them walked to the souvenir shop, which was really big. It was full of all kinds of stuffed animals, including polar bears, walruses, and whales. If you don't know, you thought you were in a toy store. There are also pure blankets, commemorative T-shirts, antler specimens, boat models, and much more.
Yang Meng was also simply, what kind of toy blanket, stuffed it into the shopping cart as if he didn't want money. Xiao Peng was very interested in the contents of a cupboard: "There are still postcards and stamps sold here, is there a post office here?"
The salesman in the store smiled: "We have the northernmost post and telecommunications office on the planet." When you go out, you keep going to the left, and the little white house with a yellow roof is the post office, so it's a great souvenir to buy a postcard here and send it home. ”
Xiao Peng listened, really, bought some stamps and credit cards, wrote them in the store, thought about it, others didn't know the address, so he took his parents' villa as the address, wrote a lot of postcards, well, I remembered that I knew and wrote it all over again, and after writing dozens of postcards, Yang Meng also finished shopping, and the two directly borrowed the large trolley in the tourist store, and transported two carts to transport all the messy things that Yang Meng bought on the ship. But he didn't understand why the shopkeeper would give him a box of ink clay when he was leaving, and what was the use?
When the owner of the tourist shop had just lamented that the Chinese were really rich and their purchasing power was too strong, the crew of the Vladimir knew that there was a tourist shop and rushed in to buy souvenirs. The boss has been rejoicing, fortunately, the goods have just been stocked, otherwise it would not be enough for this group of Chinese fishermen to sweep the goods。。。。。。
Are Chinese fishermen so rich?
Xiao Peng and Yang Meng walked together to the legendary northernmost post office on Earth: the New Ålsund Post Office.
The mailbox was hung on the wall of the post office, Xiao Peng just wanted to put his credit card into the mailbox, but Yang Meng stopped him: "You don't stamp the postmark, who knows where this was sent back?"
Xiao Peng thought about it right, pushed the door and walked into the post office, but when he entered, he found that there was no one. Except for the three stamps, the room was empty, and Xiao Peng understood why the shopkeeper wanted to print himself with mud, and he was self-sufficient in everything here.
The three stamps are marked by the Spitsbergen archipelago, the tern taking off from the snowy mountains, and two terns resting together. All three seals have the word 79N written on them, which means that this is 79 degrees north latitude. In Ny-Ålsund, the markings of 79N can be seen almost everywhere. Xiao Peng picked up his passport, stamped all three stamps, and stamped all the credit cards.
Yang Meng only stamped his passport, and was very disdainful of Xiao Peng's act of sending credit cards: "You think you can receive these credit cards? Lao Tzu went to Tibet back then, bought a lot of postcards and sent them to friends, sent dozens of them, and received one in particular." ”
Xiao Peng listened to Yang Meng's words, but he couldn't refute it, looking at the postcard, each chapter was affixed with double stamps, I hope it can be used as registered mail. If there is no staff here, you can't register if you want to. It can only depend on your luck.
Who makes the postcard belong to the ordinary mail? In the mailing process, it belongs to the last grade, basically it is unattended, and when the transportation capacity is insufficient, the ordinary letter is the last to go. There was once a post office courier who was lazy and didn't deliver a regular letter for several months, and finally threw it all away, and was later found out, and the director was unlucky with him. But to be honest, there is nothing that can be done by those who lose the letter, who asks the Pingxin Post Office not to issue any receipts?
It is said that in China, the loss rate of postcards is more than 60%, which is still a conservative estimate。。。。。。
After thinking about it, Xiao Peng decided not to send it, anyway, he had already changed the local postmark here, and he just had to go back to a post office to borrow the postmark and stamp the landing stamp. This is the North Pole, Xiao Peng doesn't want to lose his postcards and run back to buy a few!
After all this, Xiao Peng walked out of the post office with a stack of postcards, and Old Al happened to meet him: "Xiao! My Huaxia friend, I happened to be looking for you!"
"Oh, old El, what is the matter with me?" Xiao Peng asked.
Old Al looked embarrassed: "Xiao, that's the case, we have a rule here, all tourists must leave that night." Xiao, I'm really not targeting you, but we are located here in the Arctic, the ecological environment here is very fragile, once it is destroyed, it is difficult to recover, the environmental protection here can be harsh to outsiders, the garbage classification alone is as high as 25 kinds, leftovers are buried on the spot, and the rest of the garbage has to be transported to Norway, so tourists are not allowed to stay overnight here. ”
"Oh, do you mean we leave?" Xiao Peng was not angry, after all, every place has a rule in every place. In a place like New Olson, you have to walk carefully, you have to walk on a well-repaired road, and the weeds on the side of the road may be a scientific experiment in some country.
Old Al hurriedly said: "No, Xiao, you misunderstood me, you are a friend of our Vikings, how could you let you leave." Well, your crew is on board for the night, and the two of you can join us for a cocktail party, do you think that's okay?"
"I thought what was going on, and I was going to call my crew back to the ship right now. Having said that, it's not easy for you to be able to tell the difference between day and night. Xiao Peng said.
It's the polar day of the North Pole. It's daylight anytime, anywhere.
Old Al smiled: "When you live here for a long time, you will get used to it. We're done, and we'll see you in 'Mela Jarret' in a moment. ’”
Summer in the Arctic is the prime season for field surgery. Five days a week, scientists from all over the world are busy, either going up the mountains and going to the sea, or climbing glaciers to take samples, but for two days on weekends, they can't move and relax. And Saturday nights are also the opening hours of the island's only bar, 'Mera Jarret'. As long as it's open, it's going to be the happiest place in the whole of New Ålsund, after all, you can't expect to find anything else here, can you?
Xiao Peng brought the crew back to the ship, and at this time they had all finished shopping, and it didn't matter to them to stay on the ship, even if they lived in New Alesson, maybe they weren't as comfortable as the ship. After all, the Vladimir has already equipped Xiao Peng with a BGAN system. That is, broadband global regional networks. Although the internet speed is not very fast, there is no problem with playing games and chatting online, and each crew cabin has a home theater system. There is no such condition in New Olson.
Yang Meng was sorting out the pile of souvenirs he bought: "Xiao Peng, you said that these are for Wei Ya's children, they will be happy, right?"
When Xiao Peng heard this, he was slightly embarrassed, he was so careless that he forgot to buy gifts for the children. Hurriedly brought a few polar bear toys: "These are the ones I gave to the child." ”
Yang Meng smiled: "It was originally a gift for the two of us together, and your share is indispensable." Look at this little bear, how cute it is and how good it feels。。。。。。 it, Xiao Peng, kill those grandsons at night!"
Xiao Peng looked at Yang Meng in surprise, what's the matter? He was talking and laughing just now, why did he suddenly burst into foul language?
I saw Yang Meng hand the plush toy he bought to Xiao Peng, pointed to the butt of the plush toy and said, "You look at it yourself!"
Xiao Peng looked at it and was speechless for a moment. I saw that the small label on the back of the toy read: "MADE IN CHINA".
Huaxia products have already conquered the Arctic。。。。。。
