"Zeng, how are you" Stephenson was very curious about the clover in Zeng Gong's hand and wanted to ask, but he was a little shallow and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Hehe, Stephenson, do you want to ask me why I bought this clover plant?" Zeng Gong looked at him with some amusement, and directly broke his careful thoughts.

Uh, Stephenson was a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it's not a clover grass, it's just a little similar to the clover grass, its real name is the Purple Light Nine Lotus, don't look like an ugly duckling now, when it blooms, you will see the black swan of the demon. Zeng Gong said lightly, in the future, he will also develop a world-class large garden in Qinglian Ranch, the core location is the Hundred Flowers Valley, these flowers will be exposed sooner or later, and it is nothing to say now.

"Isn't it a clover?" Now it was Stephenson's turn to be surprised, and he forgot the embarrassment just now for a while, rubbed his eyes and looked carefully at the flower pot that Zeng Gong was holding, that's right, this is a clover grass.

"Hehe, it's really like a clover now, but if you look at its stems and leaves, there's a faint silver thread on its stems, and it's daytime, and if you look at night, you'll see a star. Zeng Gong pointed to the stems and leaves of the clover plant and explained.

Stephenson looked at it, and sure enough, as he said, this clover plant was a little different, with a faint silver thread looming, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't find it at all.

Looking at Stephenson's puzzled look, Zeng Gong smiled silently, now this Purple Light Nine Lotus is still a spiritual root, and it can only be widely reproduced after being planted in the space, of course, these are Zeng Gong's secrets. He won't say it.

"Once, when you get to Point Barrow, it's better not to call an Eskimo. They like to be called Inuit by others, and their food is best politely refused if they are not familiar. Otherwise, if you encounter strange food, both parties will feel embarrassed. Stephenson saw that Zeng Gong was not too interested in talking about the flowers in his hand, so he simply changed the topic, if it involved some privacy issues, it would be really embarrassing.

Zeng Gong nodded, "When I came to Alaska, I knew a little bit about their food and life, but why don't they want to be called Eskimos?" ”

"'Eskimo' was first called by the Indians, that is, 'people who eat raw meat.'" Because of the historical conflict between the Indians and the Eskimos, the name is clearly derogatory. Therefore, the Eskimos did not like the name. Calling oneself 'Inuit' or 'Inyupit' means 'real man' in Eskimo. Stephenson explained.

Zeng Gong said that he understood, rising to the national sentiment, he is also inconvenient to understand, just like the Japanese call the Chinese people, this term was first transliterated from Tianzhu Sanskrit, the original Japanese used the word "Zhina" when there was no derogatory nature, and even in the late Qing Dynasty, many revolutionaries such as Song Jiaoren and Liang Qichao once called themselves the Chinese people, and I personally think that the reason why the Chinese people are considered derogatory. Most of them are because of national sentiment, but of course, as Chinese, they still don't want to be called Shina.

"By the way, Stephenson, aren't you working in Juno. How did you come to Fairbanks?" Zeng Gong has always been angry that Stephenson happened to be in Fairbanks.

"Isn't this about resupplying the staff at Cape Barrow, you know it's in the polar regions. Food sources are scarce, and our staff can't make a living from fishing and hunting like the Inuit. Therefore, the vast majority of daily necessities have to be supplied from the outside world. Fairbanks was the northernmost part of the North American Railroad, and there was a large area of primeval forest, so the supplies could only be transported by air, and I happened to be sent to supervise it. Stephenson innocently explained that although Elena was using public affairs for personal gain, he dared to tell this master.

Zeng Gong nodded, did not pursue further, but chatted with Stephenson about the cultural environment of Alaska, fortunately, he has been working here, and his speech is not leaky, there is nothing wrong, the sky and the earth can be said to be very happy, Zeng Gong also has a preliminary understanding of Alaska during the conversation

Zeng Gong boarded the Phillips Petroleum Company's cargo plane, and the distance of hundreds of kilometers soon arrived at Barrow Town, the northernmost town in North America on Point Barrow, where the polar night weather is more obvious, although Zeng Gong looked at the watch on his wrist and showed that it was only 3 o'clock in the afternoon, but it was still midnight outside, and the long night would last for a long time.

"What, isn't Zeng a little uncomfortable?" Stephenson said with some amusement when he saw Zeng Gong frowning.

"No, it's just a little weird, it's daytime everywhere else, and it's midnight when we get here. Zeng Gong shook his head helplessly, this is not the fatigue caused by the difference in time zones, the illusion brought by dimensions, there is always a strange feeling in people's hearts.

"Haha, you'll get used to it if you stay here for a while, when I first came back here was in a snowstorm, the plane couldn't take off for a while, I lived here for almost a week, oh my God, you can see the sun for twenty-four hours, it's crazy to think about. Stephenson's face turned pale, and he remembered his first time here, which was really not a good memory.

Zeng Gong didn't feel it yet, he couldn't comment on this kind of thing, he could only find the moonlight grass as soon as possible, and then leave here, Eternal Night, it was not the place he wanted to stay.

"Stephenson, I don't know where the hotel is here?" Although the airport is brightly lit, it is dark outside, don't expect any complete lighting equipment in a remote town, it is good to have dim lighting, and it is best to consult the head snake in a place where you are not familiar with life.

"Zeng, if you don't stay in Barrow for long, you can live with us, and we still have empty houses in our company. Stephenson hurriedly said, the eldest lady said that the best way to take care of the master in front of her in Alaska is to be within his sight.

Zeng Gong waved his hand and said, "No need, I came to Barrow Point to travel, learn about the customs, how can I have a tourist atmosphere with you." ”

Joke, with you, how can I still find the moonlight grass, because of your hindrance, my purple light nine lotus flowers can't be put in the space at all, and now they have withered a lot, if I take the moonlight grass, I will simply find a piece of tofu and die.

"Okay. The corners of Stephenson's mouth twitched, you have such good taste, you actually traveled to Barrow Point at this time, don't you know that this is the worst time for Barrow Point. (To be continued.) )
