When I arrived at the pier in the open sea, I got on a speedboat and headed for the nearest island to my island, Ong E-Alevu. There is a very large village on this island, it is more appropriate to say that it is a village than a tribe, almost all of the aborigines here speak Fijian, of course, as more and more islanders are educated, there are people in the village who understand English, but these people's English is really not easy to speak.

Now Bei Hai is directly looking for the village chief every time he buys fruit, he was the leader of the tribe in the past, and he used to learn English for a while and Bei Hai can barely communicate with him, as for the rest of the people in the village, Bei Hai will only say hello, and if he buys something, he has to use his hands to gesticulate.

As in China, people in the countryside yearn for the colorful life in the big city, while those who live in the city want to go to the countryside to find a spiritual paradise. However, it is clear that the young people of Ong Earevu fall into the former category, and eight out of ten of them aspire to live in the capital.

The village is located on the shore of the natural harbor on the island, although there are no big ships docked, but there is no problem with a speedboat like Bei Hai, the boat docked next to the earthen dam, and directly threw the small iron anchor on the boat on the earthen dam, Bei Hai dialed the key and got off the boat.

Bei Hai just got off the boat here, and a group of children from the sub-tribe climbed towards the speedboat screaming, and Bei Hai didn't stop him, because there was almost nothing that these little babies could destroy on his speedboat.

“BULA！” Every time Bei Hai saw someone, he smiled and greeted them.

The people of Jifi are generally quite simple, of course, Bei Hai came to this conclusion based on the people on the island of Ong E-Alevu that he had the most contact with, and as for the capital Suva Beihai, he had only been there once so far or left after signing the agreement to buy the island. I don't know much about the people there.

BULA is a common greeting phrase for Fijians, in addition to hello, it also means to wish you good health and longevity, anyway, it is quite auspicious. Just meet Fijians and say that.

“BULA!” Everyone from the tribe who saw Bei Hai also greeted Bei Hai with a smile.

Bei Hai greeted people as he walked towards the village chief or chief's house, which was not very large, and could be walked from one end to the other in just a few minutes. Soon arrived at the village chief's house.

Mi'er and Dou'er are reluctant to come is reasonable, just this Lu Beihai met three pigs, two sheep and a cow on the road, and there is no road in this village, just like Mr. Lu Xun said: there is no road in this world, and it will become a road when there are more people, and the road in the village is made in this way, and it is not strange to see a pile of livestock dung from time to time.

This is the original tribal situation, as for those who have cleaned up and have people singing and dancing for you, it is impossible to think about it with your brain. Because people have to be busy if they want to live, although they are located on a tropical island and fruits are indispensable all year round, but people can't just live by eating fruits, fish have to go to the sea to hunt, shellfish have to go to the sea to fish, pigs and cattle have to be raised, even if the fruit wants to be high-yielding, it also requires people to pour their energy.

“BULA!” The village chief's family had just finished lunch together, and when they saw Bei Hai at the door, they immediately greeted Bei Hai.

Most of the inhabitants of Ong Earevu Island still maintain some primitive habits, as if they eat with a large family sitting directly on the ground. Of course, the place is generally paved with wooden boards, although it is not as smooth and beautiful as the floor seen in China, but it is better than all natural and pollution-free. Generally speaking, there are also groups of men and women with children who are separated according to the taste of food, such as whether to drink or not.

“BULA!” Bei Hai said hello to the family and took off his shoes at the door. He put it aside, and then walked into the room with his feet up.

For Fijians, it is very rude for guests to come to the house without taking off their shoes, and it is disrespectful to the host, and they can not touch the head of children, because in the eyes of Fijians, the head is a very important and sacred thing. Once in the tribe, hats or sunglasses were no longer alleged, and women were not allowed to wear armless or sleeveless clothing. The skirt must also be covered below the knee. Of course, this is all in the tribe, and there are no such rules in various resorts.

After sitting down. Bei Hai took off the bag on his shoulder, and then took out two bottles of liquor and two sides of ham from the bag, and bringing gifts to each other was also a friendly expression, which made it easier to deepen the relationship between everyone.

"Sea! Come and have a drink! The old village chief looked at Bei Hai and said happily, picking up the wine and pouring a glass of wine for Bei Hai as he spoke.

To be honest, Bei Hai didn't want to drink this wine, not because the wine was not good, but purely because when these Fijians squatted together to drink, no matter how many people drank together, there would only be one in their arms, and then every time they poured a glass, they would hand it to one person, and they drank it in a circle, that is, the men sitting in this room now had this cup in their mouths once in this circle.

Bei Hai can't say no, I'm not interested in using a cup with everyone, this thing is rude, so he had to take the cup and pour the wine into his mouth directly, and then handed the wine glass to the village chief.

"What's the matter with this visit, Hai?" The old village chief's name is Banu Banu, and it is very common for names with repeated syllables here, and it is estimated that it is just like Weiwei in the three characters of Bei Hai's wife, Li Weiwei, and it is just called smoothly.

"Buy a batch of fruits" Bei Hai directly explained his intentions: "It's about enough for one to two weeks." Now that Bei Hai's family is adding these people who are coming, the purchase volume this time will not be small, and there are more than 200 catties of all kinds of fruits, including almost all the fruits produced on the island of Ong'e Alevu, and more than 20 catties of dried almond fruits.

"Which ones?" Banubana asked at Bei Hai.

Bei Hai took out the list that the old lady had prepared for herself, and then began to read it, more than thirty or forty catties, and some less than five or six catties, a total of more than ten kinds.

Hearing this, Banubanu said, "Lime and plantain, banana and mango are now available and are being shipped out of the island." The grapes and avocados and pineapples are going to be picked and chopped, so we have to wait a while."

"No problem!".

The pace of life here is very slow, and the time is quite abundant for the people on the island, and there is nothing to do here in Beihai anyway, just wait.

Banu Banu and Bei Hai wrote down the things that were still missing, and then handed them to their son and asked him to bring someone to help Bei Hai get these things that were not there.

Generally speaking, people here will not help people pick this small amount of fruit, but Bei Hai brings a small gift every time he comes, although the gift is not too expensive, it adds up to more than 200 yuan, but this is considered a friend in the eyes of the Banuban family, and he is quite happy to meet the requirements of his friends.

A group of people went to help Bei Hai pick fruits, and the rest of the people were tidying up the tableware or something, only Bei Hai and Banubanu sat on the floor and talked about the price in three or five sentences and continued to chat.

Banubanu turned to Bei Hai and asked, "No one has come to your resort yet?" ”。

"Well, I think it's a bit dangerous this year," Bei Hai said directly. Bei Hai has already agreed with Banu Banu that all the fruits of the resort will be ordered from him as soon as the resort is open, but now the development of the resort is beyond Bei Hai's expectations, originally Bei Hai thought that even if there are not many people to come, there should always be one or two small fish and shrimp, and then rely on word of mouth to slowly do it, but now it seems that there are no fish and shrimp not even 'microorganisms', how can Bei Hai not sigh.

"Isn't your price a little too high?" Banu Banu said, more than 300,000 US dollars a week, Banu Banu almost fainted with fear when he heard this price for the first time, he may not make 200,000 US dollars in his life, and he can only live on the next island for two weeks?

Bei Hai said: "The price of a penny, a piece of goods, no one will have it, there will always be someone in the future" Bei Hai is still quite confident now.

Banubanu said directly: "I also hope that your business can be better, in that case, the fruits and some agricultural products on our island will not need to be shipped to Suva, you better think of a way, I am also in a hurry to wait here, and the people in the village are also looking forward to this trouble."

This made it clear that the old man was a scheming person who had nothing to say, Bei Hai smiled when he heard it, and he didn't agree to this matter, but talked about his own plans, not that Bei Hai wanted trouble, but that the people of this tribe were quite simple, if you agreed to do it, they would think you were deceiving them, so Bei Hai still chose to say it.

After chatting for more than an hour, people came back when they went out, and a four-wheeled wooden cart pulled all the fruits that Bei Hai wanted, Bei Hai knew at a glance that there was no need to be afraid of not enough portions, these hospitable tribesmen estimated that each of them added a little bit to the original weight, and this business was much more sincere than the businessmen outside.

Before leaving, Bei Hai remembered one thing, that is, Bei Hai was very unaccustomed to the pigs raised on the island, these pigs are the kind of big white pigs in Europe that can grow meat, which is not suitable for Bei Hai's appetite at all.

"By the way, Banubanu, you ask if anyone here is willing to change to Chinese black pigs, I will buy all the meat, the meat quality is a little more delicious, that is, the time is a little longer than the pigs you are raising now, about eleven months or so," Bei Hai asked.

As soon as he heard about this Banubanu, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "Don't raise, don't raise!" We are used to raising these pigs, and we have been raising them for almost 200 years."

"I see!" Bei Hai also understood that these tribes had long been accustomed to the original life step by step, so it was better to find another way on his side, and seeing that the east of the country he wanted had already gotten on the boat, he said goodbye to Banubanu and left the island of Ong'e Alevu and sailed towards home.

When he sailed to his home, Bei Hai began to think about this matter, there is no way to guarantee his own meat, the meat quality is not high-grade enough, he is used to eating his own things, Bei Hai is really not used to the taste of meat here, and he has to think about it again while driving the boat.
