Chapter Eighty-Three: Discovering the Cruise Ship

"I didn't expect that you kid actually likes to eat stinky tofu, so you should also like this hakarl. Hakarl is Iceland's signature dish, and it's also the most special and special delicacy, because if we were to follow our diet, we wouldn't approve of it.

Known as hΓ‘karl in Iceland, this delicacy is a completely rotten shark meat that takes three to six months to bury in the sand and is smelly and fishy if you smell it with your nose.

But that's why it's a staple of Iceland, and although it may seem like an exaggeration at first, anyone who has eaten it knows that it's absolutely rare and unbelievably delicious.

The more you eat it, the more you want to eat it, and the more you eat it, the more you get used to it, and you will love it.

The first time I ate it, Alkochi brought it to the university from home, and although I knew how to make it, I didn't feel it at all because it tasted so similar to stinky tofu, so I was very happy to eat it, so I became good friends with Alkochi all of a sudden. ”

While introducing Lin Fan to the delicious preparation method of hakarl, Zhong Huayan told the story of how he and Alkochi became good friends, because this delicious dish smelled like stinky tofu, which is really unimaginable.

"That's right, judging from the production method, many people may be afraid to eat it anymore. However, since Icelanders can use it as a signature dish, they will definitely go through various processing processes. And it does smell like stinky tofu, and there is no psychological barrier for us. ”

Lin Fan smiled, then picked up a piece and continued to eat, because although this hakarl is a little scary in the way it is made, its taste is indeed delicious, and those who like it can't put it down.

"Okay, dear Lin, from now on, you will be my good friend, just like Zhong."

Seeing that after Lin Fan introduced the production method of hakarl in Zhong Huayan, he slowly ate all the hakarl on the plate very enjoyably, immediately slapped his hand, raised the glass and touched Lin Fan with a bang, drank the red wine in the cup in one go, and then gave Lin Fan a hug with a smile.

"Alkochi, we are good friends, welcome you to China in the future, I will invite you to taste a delicious dish similar to the taste of hakarl." Lin Fan also drank his wine, then hugged Alkocchi for a while, and then said to him with a smile.

"Friend, Lin, I know you're buying a second-hand fishing boat. I have just two fishing boats in my company that have reached the end of their useful life, but their wear and tear is only about 40 percent, which is 60 percent new in your Chinese parlance.

Originally, we in Iceland were supposed to recycle it, but we usually sell it to other European countries because they don't have as advanced shipbuilding technology as we do.

But Zhong called me and said that you are his friend and you need these two fishing boats, so I decided to sell them to you, my friend. We'll go to sea in the afternoon, and we'll sign a contract tomorrow morning, and I'll sell it to you cheaper, Lin.

Also, if the fishing boat needs to be repaired, I can provide you with my own repair shop, help you hire maintenance workers, and send someone to help you buy the parts you need for repair, you can rest assured that you can leave it to me, dear Lin, my friend. ”

Alkochi was very happy to say to Lin Fan that he agreed on the spot to deal with two large distant-water fishing boats to Lin Fan cheaply, and was also willing to provide him with a place and workers for maintenance, and help him buy all kinds of necessary spare parts, which provided Lin Fan with great convenience.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Alkoczy, let's have a toast for our friendship." Lin Fan was overjoyed, and immediately picked up his wine glass and touched it with Alcoci.

"Yes, yes, Alcochi, I came to witness your friendship with Lin Fan, congratulations on finding each other's friends, it's really a thing to congratulate. Let's toast. Zhong Huayan also stood up with a smile and raised his wine glass.

"For the sake of our friendship between Iceland and China, we toast." Alkochi laughed, and the glasses of the three men clattered together.

For a time, the guests and hosts were happy.

In the afternoon, Alcoci took Zhong Huayan, Lin Fan and others and drove to the seaside fishing port. Although Iceland is a small country, their fishing port is not small, its scale is definitely not smaller than that of Dongzhou Fishing Port, and the fishing port has more and larger fishing boats moored than Dongzhou Fishing Port.

In contrast, the fishing vessels in Iceland's fishing ports are mainly medium-sized inshore fishing vessels, accounting for 70% of the total number of fishing vessels in the fishing ports. The remaining 30 percent are large distant-water fishing boats tens of meters long and nearly 100 meters long, and not only are the fishing boats quite new, but there are also quite a few of them, like small mountains floating on the sea.

Lin Fan and the others got on a medium-sized fishing boat forty or fifty meters long, and it was a special sea fishing boat, so the fishing tools on the fishing boat were designed with few tools, and special sea fishing positions were designed on the side of the surrounding boats, and there were special auxiliary crew members and corresponding facilities next to each position, such as the net frame used for fishing after being pulled closer, and even the fishing fork fishing gun that could be launched.

Because it is a sea fishing boat, there are not many crew members on it, but there are many more waitresses, and even special cooks and waiters. Lin Fan took a look at the contents of the fishing boat and felt that it didn't look like a fishing boat at all, but like a luxury cruise ship, because the hall and rooms inside the fishing boat were very luxurious and luxurious, just like being in a suite in a five-star hotel.

Moreover, Lin Fan had already heard Zhong Huayan say that Alkochi had a habit of night fishing, so they should spend the night on the fishing boat. Lin Fan was also mentally prepared, of course, it was the same for him to spend the night anywhere, but a night fishing in Iceland was also something he was looking forward to.

"Look, there are so many puffins over there."

After the fishing boat left the fishing port, it quickly sailed to the sea, and after about half an hour, Lin Fan was blowing the sea breeze on the deck, looking at the island that was getting closer and closer in the distance, and suddenly Zhong Huayan pointed to the island and exclaimed, he was raising a military telescope to look over there.

Lin Fan already knows that the puffin is the national bird of Iceland and is a bird of the puffin family of ploverformes, also known as puffins.

Puffins live mainly in the coastal areas of northern Norway and are about 30 cm long and have a large beak that is triangular in shape with a deep furrow.

The puffin has black feathers on its back, a white belly, orange-red feet, and a brightly colored face, which is as beautiful and cute as a parrot, so people call it a puffin.

Puffins make a living by preying on marine fish and have a strong survival ability. They prefer to live in groups, building their nests in stone crevices and burrows on the cliffs of coastal islands. The nest is mainly used for resting, sleeping, and storing food. Usually spread their wings and fly over the sea.

With Zhong Huayan's exclamation, a colorful cloud flew from the island in the distance, quickly approached the fishing boat, and then flew over the fishing boat in the direction of Iceland.

I saw the appearance of the puffin in the near distance, and sure enough, the colors on the body were colorful, and the appearance was very similar to the parrot seen in Huaguo, but the call was different, and it was not like the parrot in Huaguo that could learn to speak.

"@Β₯%&*β€”β€”β€”β€”)(&......%Β₯#" Seeing the puffin fly by, Alcoch ran to the deck and raised his hands in his mouth and chanted aloud, looking very excited to see him.

"This is the most primitive language of the Icelanders, and now it's time to use sacrificial prayers. Puffins are an auspicious blessing for Icelanders, and now that so many puffins are flying by, Alkochi is praying to them, indicating that our trip to the sea will be very rewarding. Zhong Huayan seemed to know Alcoci better, and when he saw Lin Fan's puzzlement, he explained it to him.

"Captain, a medium-sized cruise ship has been spotted a hundred nautical miles ahead, on your way. Twenty nautical miles behind, there is also a medium-sized cruise ship following you. We hacked into the communication systems of the two cruise ships and discovered that they were going to trade drugs at sea, while they were still talking about dealing with your fishing boat, seemingly trying to kill the Icelandic nobleman on board. ”

Half an hour later, Lin Fan suddenly received a report from the guards in the aircraft, it turned out that the aircraft that followed Lin Fan around the fishing boat was detective within a hundred nautical miles before and after the fishing boat, and it turned out that two cruise ships were found, and the most important thing was that these two cruise ships not only wanted to trade drugs, but also wanted to kill Alcochi. >
