Chapter 176: Cultivation Game

Looking down, there was a gray sportswear in the sauna with a string of Arabic names embroidered on it, Zhang Shuting couldn't understand it, and she didn't know what brand it was. But if you think about it, it must be a local Turkish commodity, and according to Anfeng's personality, this thing must be a local famous brand.

Zhang Shuting grabbed the sportswear, and as soon as she got started, she felt that the clothes felt very soft, fluffy, and warm...... Of course, this may be a psychological feeling, or maybe it is the atmosphere of the sauna that makes the clothes feel soft.

The outfit fits perfectly.

After putting on the ugly Calichi beach shoes, I moved my waist, and felt that my skin was tight, a little astringent, and a little sore. But after a few exercises, Zhang Shuting felt that her taut skin was stretching, and the soreness on her body was gone, and she felt a little resurrected in place.

She did a few radio gymnastics moves, and then she pushed open the sauna hatch and saw the captain and his wife crouching on the side of the sauna on the deck, with a small table next to them, full of food, no wine on the table, only coffee. The captain and his wife enjoyed their evening snack in a relaxed manner.

At the moment, the stars are shining. The sea is calm and waveless.

Zhang Shuting nodded at the other party, and the captain's wife quickly got up, gesturing with gestures and asking in English, "Miss, do you need to cross the boat?" ”

Zhang Shuting looked at the yacht that was swaying in the lights, and immediately shook her head: "No, I don't want to cross the boat for the time being...... What is there to eat, I didn't eat dinner, and now I want to sit on the bow of the boat and blow the wind. ”

It's a natural thing to say.

Thanks to this period of time, leading the bodyguards around, Zhang Shuting has the confidence to command others. To tell the truth, she had never been a supervisor in the past, and she had never instructed others to assign others. She is a good girl in the family, and her parents only let her study, because she wants to grow up and study abroad, and she has no intention of cultivating her understanding of domestic people and worldliness. There were no nannies and servants in her family before, and when she commanded her bodyguards for the first time, Zhang Shuting felt like she was giving a speech in the auditorium, her mouth was panicked, and her voice was weak.

But now, what she commanded her servants was as they were. After speaking, she felt a change in herself, and her heart moved slightly: perhaps, this is the effect of the environment. The so-called aura of commanding others on the children of rich families, I, Zhang Shuting, have now adapted to it.

Humans are the best animals at adapting to their environment.

The captain's wife understood this simple English, and quickly got up and got out of the cabin, and after a while, the smell of food wafted from the galley, and after a while, the captain's wife appeared on the deck with dinner.

Dinner was still only food and no wine.

When Zhang Shuting was in China before, whenever she had a class reunion, she also quietly drank soft drinks such as beer behind her back. But when she went abroad, Zhang Shuting didn't dare to drink it. She consciously didn't dare to drink it voluntarily. Don't look at An Feng, who needs a drink from time to time to adjust the environment, but he is very strict with Zhang Shuting's prohibition of alcohol. He calmly told Zhang Shuting that minors drinking violated the prohibition of alcohol, and as a guardian, An Feng himself would be involved in a judicial dispute. And Zhang Shuting herself will also leave a judicial black spot, which will affect her life.

Zhang Shuting is a good girl, and after she knew the danger of the matter, she immediately consciously and voluntarily refused alcoholic beverages. Even if An Feng was drunk next to her, she would never steal a drop. Whenever she thinks of her past drinking experience, Zhang Shuting quietly thinks: Why did I drink secretly in the past, I didn't feel guilty at all, but had a kind of happiness to break through the taboo?

Of course, human nature is the same everywhere. Among Zhang Shuting's current American classmates, there are also people who secretly drink despite the ban. But such a person would never dare to show off similar behaviors and ask his classmates to follow suit.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuting suddenly remembered those foreigners who sat on the streets of China and ate melon seeds and threw melon seed skins. They also seem to have the joy of breaking through the taboo on their faces...... What is certain is that these people will never dare to show off their illegality so arrogantly in their own country.

What factors have changed them, and what have changed themselves?

The night was cold, and the sea was dark. It's a kind of darkness without any outside light. There is no other source of light on the sea except for the lights of the yacht. Standing on the ship's floor and looking out, the dotted fishing fires make the whole sea become the Milky Way, and people in it feel like they are wandering in the Milky Way. And this green island surrounded by the Milky Way is the famous yacht resort area of Cyprus.

It's a pity that the scenery is like a night, but Zhang Shuting sits alone on the bow of the boat...... Dine.

It tastes very bad to eat alone, although Zhang Shuting admonished herself to know how to appreciate the beautiful scenery around her, but she still feels very bored and lonely sitting alone in the shipbuilding. Fortunately, after a while, the captain's wife came over and informed: "Miss Zhang, I have informed the big ship of the news that you have gotten up, and Dr. Condon has invited you to come over the ship, and the owner of the ship over there has also invited you to the party." ”

Zhang Shuting jumped up, and the Chinese dialect came out in excitement: "Okay, good." ”

In fact, crossing the boat at night has a certain danger and is generally not advocated. But this part of the Mediterranean Sea is so calm and smooth as a mirror, so people ignore this danger.

The ferry between boats is all by rubber boats. Zhang Shuting put on a life vest with fluorescent stripes, and the captain took her arm to board the rubber boat, and the rubber boat leaned against the side of the other boat with the width indicator light. Standing at the stern of the ship with a light to guide the closer is the captain of the opposing ship......

The largest yacht in the nearby sea is a medium-sized yacht that can accommodate more than 30 people and has more than 10 rooms and cabins. The yacht has a barge at the stern for easy boarding, and after the motorboat leans in, Zhang Shuting almost steps on the half-submerged stern as if walking on flat ground, and then follows the stairs on both sides of the stern to the third floor deck.

This is a typical Mediterranean yacht, with the entire yacht resembling a shuttle-shaped cabinet straight up and down. It has a short foredeck, but the top platform is large enough to accommodate ten people for a drinking party and ball. If you sail into other seas, the slightest wind will capsize it, so this type of ship only exists in the Mediterranean.

There were eight people gathered on the ship, five adults and three children, including Mr. and Mrs. Kevin. There were also two male doctors, as well as the wife of one of them.

Seeing Zhang Shuting appear, An Feng raised his glass at the other party. His cup was not filled with wine, it seemed to be white milk like milk, shaking this wine glass, An Feng beckoned: "Come up, there is yogurt on this ship, it is said to be made of camel milk." ”

A middle-aged doctor in his forties laughed and told a vulgar joke: "It's a lewd camel milk ......"

This vulgar joke has another meaning, the she-camel is a pun in American slang.

Camel milk is relatively unknown to many people, but it has become an irreplaceable nutritional supplement in many countries. Camel milk is high in calcium and low in saturated fatty acids, and has high medical value. Because it is allergen-free, it is extremely beneficial for newborns and can even replace breast milk – and is the only milk that has been scientifically proven to replace breast milk.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, in addition to being rich in vitamin C, camel milk also contains a lot of unsaturated fatty acids, iron and vitamins needed by the human body, camel milk can reduce the need for insulin in diabetic patients, and has also been shown to be beneficial for people with peptic ulcer disease, as well as for high blood pressure. Although the taste is a little saltier than milk, it has won the love of many people.

In Africa, people with AIDS are often advised to drink camel milk to strengthen their body's resistance; In the Gulf Arab countries, it is also believed to have the effect of nourishing yin and aphrodisiac...... This is what the vulgar joke just now, implied that.

Another implication is that the female camel smells the scent of the young camel before secreting milk. It only produces milk for about 90 seconds at a time.

A few people on the boat floor laughed, but Zhang Shuting didn't know why the other party was laughing, but she couldn't be a bystander, so she pulled the corners of her lips and let herself have a smile on her face.

A few children on the boat came to relieve the siege, and a girl of the same age greeted Zhang Shuting, she pulled Zhang Shuting's sweatshirt and said loudly: "Aha, you look so good in this dress, oops, or local goods, tell me where you bought it?" ……”

Don't think that Zhang Shuting really looks good in this dress, this sentence is an American-style greeting and a kind word.

When the British get together, the conversation often starts with the weather, while the Americans get together and the conversation starts with compliments on each other's clothing, jewelry, or perfumes, anyway, first find something on you, and then praise you to death, and so the conversation begins.

Of course, Zhang Shuting would not be stupid enough to ask the other party "where is it", she took the opportunity to boast that the other party's jewelry was good...... And so, the chat started without a hitch.

There is a Chinese joke about the gap between the two countries. Saying that an American praises people for their good clothing, we Chinese casually answer where and where? The serious American thought that the other party was asking what was good, so he had to rack his brains to find every bit of strength in the dress, from the buttons to the needle and thread, but Chinese always kept asking questions until he drove the American crazy, said all the good words he could come up with, and then praised the Chinese scientist for his rigor......

The children hid and started chatting, and the adults gathered together to talk about their own topics. As they talk, they inevitably talk about their respective majors.

Dr. Kevin shook his glass and said: "Last week I received 23 wounded soldiers, but last week I received 41 wounded soldiers, it seems that the number of casualties in Baghdad is dropping sharply, maybe next week will be less, in this way, in less than two or three months, the field clinic will be completely idle, maybe in half a year, our clinic will not have so many doctors, we will be relieved." ”

Western medicine regulations: Every qualified doctor has a prescribed number of hours of social service every year. These doctors are willing to serve on the battlefield out of love, on the other hand, because of their high salaries, and partly because they want to earn enough hours of social service.

Doctors always like cleanliness and hygienic environment, and Iraq, a place where often can't even guarantee the power supply of life, is really unbearable for doctors, most of the doctors come to Baghdad with enthusiasm, and they can still work normally in the first week, and from the second week onwards, they begin to look forward to going home, looking forward to returning home......

Among these doctors, An Feng is no exception. For him, he had earned enough money on this trip to Iraq, and with this experience, he had tried in every possible way to bleaching those Arab works of art, and he had also found them, and whoever asked about the provenance of those works of art in the future would be able to say that they were just spoils of war from Iraq.

"Do you receive wounded soldiers, including people with battlefield syndrome?" An Feng immediately picked up: "I checked the military intelligence report before, and last week there were 17 explosions in Baghdad, more than 100 incidents of stray bullets and cold guns, and more than 400 wounded soldiers. There are more than 20 doctors in our clinic, and you alone receive more than 20 patients a week...... That's impossible. ”

The owner of the big yacht, a middle-aged doctor, answered: "Mild battlefield syndrome is not a real wounded soldier, although the Ministry of Defense recognizes, but in fact they are just a manifestation of depression, as long as you talk to a priest, or find a psychiatrist to relieve it, prescribe a little cough syrup, their illness can be alleviated."

"Syrup is such a good medicine," interjects Dr. Kevin, "I prescribed over a hundred bottles of cough syrup last week. No matter what the disease, there's nothing wrong with stuffing him with a bottle of syrup. ”

Another doctor helped: "Yes, yes, eating sugar can relieve tension, and eating chocolate can cure broken love." It has been scientifically proven that the endocrine imbalance caused by the loss of love, as well as the physical and mental pain, are caused by a sudden decrease in the secretion of phenylethylamine in the body. And chocolate is phenylethylamine, and there is no better drug for depression and lovelorn disorder than chocolate......"

At this point, the doctors began to talk about the depressed patients they had diagnosed and treated, as well as the patients with broken love, and the conversation became more and more ambiguous.

Zhang Shuting squeezed to An Feng's side, looked at An Feng's cup scarelessly, and asked, "Brother Kane, can I drink some...... Camel milk? ”

An Feng raised his wine glass: "This, you don't need to ask. But my cup ...... Instead of yogurt, I had a Cypriot specialty, milk wine. This is made after the yogurt is deeply fermented, it contains alcohol, and you are under 18 years old, I can't give it to you. ”

"That'...... Is there any pure yogurt, I want to try yogurt", Zhang Shuting asked with a blank eye.

"Tomorrow I will go ashore and drink...... Tomorrow you want to play whatever project, I let the captain arrange. ”

Zhang Shuting bit her index finger and imagined: "I want to eat the special food here, and I want to see their special scenery...... Do we have time? ”

After a pause, Zhang Shuting pouted aggrievedly: "I'm going to start classes again on Monday, do I have to catch a plane at noon tomorrow?" ”

An Feng nodded: "Tomorrow I will rent a helicopter and send you to the shore for a turn, and then send you to the airport." ”

Zhang Shuting sighed regretfully: "Two days is too short, it took a whole day just to fly, to be honest, I haven't taken a good look at Cyprus, what are the characteristics here?" ”

Kevin interjected: "Cyprus is the birthplace of wine, it is the homeland of wine, and the special tourism on the shore is closely related to wine culture......

"No, I don't believe it", Zhang Shuting shook her head desperately.

Kevin deliberately slowed down his speech and explained slowly: "Yes, although wine did not originate in Cyprus, the oldest surviving archaeological evidence of wine was found in Cyprus, where an ancient ruins from UU00 years ago were found on the island, with a mosaic tile painting depicting the wine-making process.

You know, although you can find earlier descriptions of the origin of wine in books, the content of the books is only textual descriptions, and those descriptions may be from the imagination of the writer, or they may be pure fiction. For example, the earliest design of submarines in books comes from Leonardo da Vinci in the Renaissance, and he also drew the design of helicopters, but the murder case must not be said to have been invented by Leonardo da Vinci.

Archaeology is about solid evidence, not the content of books. The mosaic is the oldest evidence of wine found in existence, so it is recognized around the world that Cyprus is the origin of wine. Of course, this statement is temporary, and if evidence of ancient winemaking is found elsewhere, such as the cellar where the wine was made, the remnants of the fermentation urn, etc., then the origin of the wine may change."

Zhang Shuting sensitively grasped one of the words that Dr. Kevin said: "Tile, mosaic? Doesn't porcelain belong to Iu? Why are there prehistoric mosaic tiles in Cyprus, at that time ......"

Dr. Kevin immediately changed the subject: "We won't discuss this issue, let's change the subject...... Miss Zhang has a long trip tomorrow and I suggest you go ashore to buy some of their cheese, as well as textiles. ”

The middle-aged doctor immediately followed up: "Carpet weaving, the carpet in Cyprus is very distinctive, but if your itinerary is in a hurry, I suggest you just browse it, you don't have to rush out of pocket, haha, everything is sold on eBay, you can find the purest Cypriot seller on eBay when you go home and lie in bed."

The conversation turned to online shopping...... In short, everyone was very relaxed this night, and the topics of conversation kept being crooked and crooked. Zhang Shuting, who was listening on the side, suddenly found that if she didn't listen with emotion, she could listen to a lot of new content and give comments without emotion.

Perhaps, this is how a rational society should be.

It wasn't until dawn, when the sun rose over the Mediterranean Sea, that the conversation finally ended.

After watching the sunrise on the sea, Zhang Shuting dozed off and finished breakfast, and then, a helicopter came to pick her up, and An Feng took Zhang Shuting to take a helicopter tour of the scenery on the island of Cyprus - well, it is the kind of tour way to get off the plane to take pictures and sleep on the plane.

At noon, the helicopter sent Zhang Shuting to the Cyprus International Airport, and then the high-speed business airliner quickly transported Zhang Shuting away......

When An Feng accompanied Zhang Shuting ashore to visit the scenery, the doctors began to lead their family members to play various games, and when An Feng returned alone, these people were already tired of playing, and they began to pack up and prepare to go back to their respective homes to find their mothers. An Feng was on Monday's afternoon shift, and he planned to stay in the Mediterranean until the early hours of Monday morning, so the doctors said goodbye to An Feng one by one when night came, leaving only An Feng with one ship and one person in this sea area.

Shortly after the group of doctors left, a seaplane quietly landed in the night, and no one nearby seemed to know about the plane's arrival except for the captain and his wife......
