Chapter 245: Cape of Good Hope!
The next morning, Zhang Feng got up early and came to the mine, connected with the people who were "bought" by himself yesterday, received work clothes, and followed the miners down the mine.
The mine is a bit like a canyon, about 700 meters above the ground, and there are some machines underneath, but most of the workers are mining by hand, and Zhang Feng followed a worker who speaks good English to find a place to start work.
"Harman, how long have you been working here? Zhang Feng said to Haman.
Haman thought for a moment and said, "More than a year. ”
"Oh, is it hard to mix up here?" Zhang Feng asked.
Harman replied with a smile: "It's hard to mix, it's hard to mix, if you can dig up diamonds, then it's definitely easy to mix, otherwise it's hard to mix......"
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Understood." ”
Then everyone buried themselves in work, in fact, Zhang Feng seemed very different, because the workers here are all black, and he is a yellow race, but everyone is not bad, they didn't ridicule Zhang Feng, and they each did their own work.
This work is three hours, Zhang Feng is no harvest, but the whole team has something to gain, digging up about one carat of rough stones, that is, 0.2 grams, excited almost screamed, the commission heard that there are about five percent, the original stone is two thousand pieces, there are also one hundred and fifteen pieces.
What Zhang Feng envies, of course, is not that he envies the commission, but that he can dig out diamonds.
Dig dig dig ......
After Zhang Feng had a simple lunch, he kept digging, digging, digging......
Until the end of the work, Zhang Feng did not dig the hair, and he was still tired, and after a strict inspection when he left, Zhang Feng returned to the hotel, washed off the dust and fell asleep.
The second day of working in the mine, it was also the last day that Zhang Feng could stay, Zhang Feng kept digging, hoping to have the opportunity to dig up a diamond, even if it was very small, the emperor lived up to his wishes, in the last half hour of the afternoon handwork, Zhang Feng dug up a rough diamond, about two carats, which simply made the entire worker crowd excited.
But Zhang Feng was not very satisfied, two carats is not very big, after paying the money, Zhang Feng took the two carats to the diamond processing factory in the town, found the best master, let the master process overnight, of course, also paid a lot of fees.
Put away the diamond ring and seal the mood, Zhang Feng happily contacted Xiao Xiao and went to dinner near the airport together.
After dinner, take a South African Airways flight to Cape Town. There are still a lot of spare seats on the plane, and it just so happens that the left side of the window avoids the bright moon that night, and the four bright stars of the southern cross are the brightest in the night sky of the southern hemisphere: the south gate two, the horse's belly one, and the cross 2,3. In a relatively bright night sky, it is not easy to photograph them through the porthole. The flight landed on time in Cape Town, ground pick-up, checked into the hotel, and everything went well!
On the first day in Cape Town, it was a little gloomy outside the window in the early morning, and the clouds were misty halfway up Table Mountain in the distance. After breakfast, the first stop is to go to Seal Island, when the sky is still gloomy, I can see the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky through the car window, discuss with Xiao Xiao, especially stop to take pictures for 5 minutes, the skyline in the distance can no longer distinguish whether it is the sky or the sea.
Get on the bus and continue to move forward, arrive at the pier to Seal Island, Hout Bay, the sky is already clear, there are many private yachts moored in the harbor, get on the boat and set off, arrive at Seal Island in ten minutes, the name is well deserved, as far as the eye can see, there are at least tens of thousands of seals, lazily lying on the reef, so many seals gather, the smell is really bad. When I returned to the shore, the next group of tourists was already waiting on the shore, almost all Chinese tourists mixed with a few foreigners.
Zhang Feng was surprised and asked Xiao Xiao if all the regiments were like this.
Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "It's fashionable to travel abroad now." ”
"Also, where are we going next?"
"It doesn't taste good here, and in ten minutes, let's go to the winery." ”
Winery, wine tasting and shopping, 5 kinds of wine tasting, to be honest, the taste is still good, the price is not expensive, from dozens of yuan to about 200, but the distance is far away and inconvenient to carry, considering Xiao Xiao's factors, I still bought two bottles.
Of course, Xiao Xiao doesn't know about it, but it is obvious that there is a commission, which is an unspoken rule of the industry, but Xiao Xiao does it more naturally, not encouraging anyone to buy wine, but just introducing what should be introduced.
On the trip to South Africa, Zhang Feng also followed Xiao Xiao to many stops, and this winery is the first place where everyone spends money more obviously.
"You bought so many bottles?"
"Have a drink together in the evening?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, I have no thoughts about your flesh. ”
"Hee-hee, okay, have a drink in the evening. ”
……
“…… Penguin Beach, the spotted penguin is a species endemic to South Africa, with a body length of about 60 centimeters, a weight of about 3,500 grams, small black spots on the chest, pink eye circles, and lives off the coast of Cape Town. The breeding season is between November and March each year, generally laying 2-4 eggs, incubating for 28 days, and the little penguins are fed for up to 3 months.
Penguins are monogamous, and in 1982, local fishermen discovered the first two pairs of penguins here, and after more than 30 years of breeding under the voluntary protection of local residents, the number of penguins has grown to more than 3,000. ”
Hearing Xiao Xiao say this, Zhang Feng secretly thanked South Africa for animal protection, otherwise he would not be able to see so many penguins getting along with people up close.
Some penguins are very close, only two or three meters away, the penguins on the beach are hatching eggs, Zhang Feng is not good at this season, almost can't see the penguins, the days of penguins under the scorching sun must be very tormenting, looking up and panting, only in this way can you lower your body temperature.
I bought some food that can be fed to penguins, Zhang Feng also learned to feed the penguins like everyone, and when feeding the penguins, Zhang Feng remembered the scene of feeding the pigeons, but compared with the cute penguins, Zhang Feng prefers penguins, probably seeing more of the sea recently, so Zhang Feng hopes that he can swim in the sea, and the penguins are satisfied with this, remembering the picture of watching man and nature when he was a child, Zhang Feng fed all the food at hand to the penguin.
Leaving Penguin Beach and coming to the place where people live, Cape Town in the middle of summer is full of flowers, and because of the security in South Africa, many private houses are high-walled power grids, which are real power grids! But the security in Cape Town is much better than that in Johannesburg, at least after half an hour of shopping, we didn't see people who were not police officers holding guns, and there were many more tourists on the streets.
Get out of Penguin Beach and head to Cape Town's most famous attraction---- Cape of Good Hope!
