Chapter 441: The End of the World
Along the way, the Prad father and son always seemed to have something to say to Tang Hai.
Of course, Tang Hai saw their difficulties, but Tang Hai didn't take the initiative to ask, the trouble was the same as a woman, it was okay not to ask, and if you asked, you would stick to yourself, this is the experience that Tang Hai summed up.
Although helping others is the foundation of happiness, everything must be done according to one's ability, is there no difficulty for Tang Hai? Rose is not in trouble? Parents are not in trouble? Is it okay for my brother? After counting them, Tang Hai can count the difficulties of dozens of people, some of which he can solve and is solving, and some of which are really helpless.
Since he hadn't even solved the difficulties of the people around him, he didn't want to cause any more problems, so Tang Hai rarely put away his curiosity.
Arrive at Point Barrow, half a day earlier than expected.
Sending Prad father and son off the boat, Tang Hai looked around.
After the narwhals were fed by Malena, they had an obvious liking for Tang Hai and his party, Tang Hai knew that this was to turn on their intelligence, but in the eyes of Malena, Jennifer and others, it was these narwhals who liked humans, after all, they had taken a group of people to save the Prad father and son before. Presumably the Prad father and son fed them as well?
After running with the fleet for a long time, and when they got close to Point Barrow, the narwhal finally left, knowing that some of the people here would hunt them.
The smallest narwhal, which weighed only about 600 kilograms, showed considerable reluctance in the end, which made Marlena's heart soften and asked Tang Hai if he could bring it back to Dahlia......
Tang Hai replied that there was no way.
But in fact, Tang Hai doesn't know, the activity field of the bowhead whale can go to the dahlia, and the narwhal can also be theoretically angled.
But when you think of narwhals, they are an Arctic specialty. Tang Hai didn't think about taking it away, Tang Hai had already discovered a very serious problem. His aging was slowing down, and he didn't want to make any mistakes.
There are very few people in Point Barrow. With a permanent population of more than 3,000 people, this is actually a city?
Thinking about the counties in the United States that still have less than 100 people, Tang Hai was relieved again.
Of course, there are benefits to having more people, more people represent a large market, as long as you don't consider whether people are willing to bear that price, you have to eat if you don't die for a day, you have to wear it if you don't die for a day, you have to get married and you have to have a house, and your child's milk powder costs money. It costs money for children to study, it costs money for children's marriage rooms, and if you don't do a good job of grandchildren's wedding rooms, you have to ask for the money of grandparents......
As long as there are enough people, they are not afraid of no market, and this is what merchants love the most, relying on the inertia of human beings to buy things, as soon as word of mouth starts, rich people will appear immediately.
But there are also advantages of fewer people, look at the buildings in front of you so neat!
There is the oil industry. There is a food processing plant, and grandma's is actually put together? Row as much as you want! There are more than 3,000 people here, think about it, isn't it just a community in China! Isn't the extra land what you want to do? The oil industry could build food processing plants a little further away, and the land would be empty anyway.
The dock was empty. The tonnage of the ships is not large, and the large fishing boats generally do not come here, and most of them are Inuit boats. Alien ships may be half.
Tang Hai looked around.
"It is said that this is one of the four corners of heaven and earth, but it looks like it is full of snow. There is nothing special about the scenery. ”
"There must be wonders in strange places, and there is a very famous double-layered beard here." Merlin laughed.
"Double-layered beard?"
"It's called Newark Lake. Or the Inuit found it. The length of this lake is about 180 meters, the depth of the water is 6 meters, the upper half of the 2 meters is fresh water, the lower half of the 4 meters is seawater, so the lake lives in both freshwater and marine life, if you look at the scenery, we may be able to go shopping, fishing. ”
"Is there such a place?" Tang Hai suddenly felt surprised, he had seen two rivers flowing in parallel in opposite directions, but the upper and lower layers of a lake were actually divided into fresh water and sea water, and they did not merge together, which was really ......
"Really, go?"
"Forget it, let's solve the stomach problem first."
"Don, Don! It's so beautiful here, didn't you get a green water villa? There are a lot of poems hanging in it, do you have the right environment here now? You said that those poems are Tang poems, and your surname is Tang, you must know it! ”
Ma Lena's words made Tang Hai Dandan's labor pain, Tang poems are not poems written by people surnamed Tang! And whoever said that the surname Tang should be good at poetry......
But to say that you can't come up with poetry at this time is too inferior!
Looking at a patch of ice and snow, there are still tree branches? It can grow in three or five months a year, and this is not a pine tree in front of me, I don't know what kind of tree it is?
It doesn't matter, as long as there are trees.
"Listen up! In the distance, I saw a dead tree, and two dry branches. In spring, moss is leaves, and snow is flowers in winter. ”
This is the old wisdom of Ouyang Xiu in the Tang and Song dynasties, Tang Hai said the meaning of the poem and the story of the poem, Ma Lena immediately applauded, saying that the ancient Chinese poetry is really interesting.
"But sir, there's no spring here, and there's no moss."
"Jennifer, you'll die if you don't mess with me......"
It was not easy to find a place to eat, it was a small bar, Tang Hai thought that he was going to give raw meat, and he was suddenly a little nervous.
The primitive Inuit lived in extremely harsh conditions, with six months of the year being dark and six months of daylight, living in houses made of a mixture of ice, snow and tree branches, and having to rely on sled dogs to pull sleds......
For the Inuit, firewood, grease and other things that can be used to make fires are very valuable! It can't be wasted on boiling meat! So, I ate raw meat......
It just so happens that many kinds of raw meat, such as seals, sea lions, and whales, have vitamin C, which can just give vitamin C supplements to Inuit people who lack fruits and vegetables! They just kept eating!
Merlin lectured on Inuit food, a piece of meat eaten by a group of people, one person cut a piece to eat, and rotated until it was eaten, no one ate more, no one ate more, no one ate more, this is a utopian beauty in Merlin's heart......
But when he really wanted to eat, not only Tang Hai was worried, but Merlin was also terrified! Luckily, the last thing that came up was cooked meat!
"Whew!" Merlin wiped a cold sweat.
"Teacher Merlin, you don't have the same heart." Malena ate the hot black radish and looked at Merlin opposite with a smile. This is a radish that has been boiled for a long time, and it has a lot of ingredients mixed to give it this color, and this thing is quite delicious.
"You annoying little imp......"
Tang Hai was also eating a hodgepodge, and suddenly, he saw a piece of meat that looked like pork belly, sandwiched and bounced, a small piece of meat......
Put it in your mouth......
It's whale meat!
The unique fatty taste of whale meat, coupled with the melt-in-your-mouth flavor, will surely be remembered by those who have eaten it once!
Tang Hai's movements were stagnant, but slowly, he still swallowed, people hunt narwhals generally for tusks and whale skin, so this is the meat of bowhead whales......
Don't say it to spoil the appetite of the group, after all, they are going to have a high-intensity work.
If whale meat is just a dark dish with unacceptable ingredients, then the next ......
Grilled halibut is one of Tang Hai's favorites! Eat it directly! There is a clear fragrance!
Then there's the grilled seal slices......
Forget it, don't tell them......
Wait, Marlena is smearing this sauce! This is Vicok! Ah, seal stomach sour-fermented petrel offal! This is as terrible food as the super stinky canned sardines and the rancid little octopus tentacles that have been marinated in Japan for a year!
Marlena ate with relish, and everyone ate with relish.
"Bad appetite? This one is for you, this one is delicious. Malena smeared Vicchiac on a piece of whale meat, and pushed the small plate in front of Tang Hai with great concern.
Tang Hai rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, I'm full, you're growing your body, eat more." He pushed it back again.
He decided to change his habit of tasting local specialties everywhere he went, and to eat on the boat during this time......
