Chapter 512: Fish Market
"13 of a kind!" Elk and Wang Jian not only have to pick fish, but also have to count, kick and count them. Wang Jian couldn't keep his hands busy here, and he couldn't even care about counting, so Hong Tao wanted to help him count.
"No, no, no! It can't be 13, it's too unlucky, I'm yours! When Elk heard this number, he was immediately unhappy, he kicked a fish under his feet to Wang Jian, and then asked Wang Jian to kick it into the cabin again, even if it was Wang Jian's fish.
"It's quite superstitious! How many are there? Hong Tao was a little surprised by Elke's reaction, as if the Marx brothers and the people who participated in the fishing tournament did not care too much about these numbers, and there was still the No. 13 fishing spot at the time of the draw of the tournament, and I didn't hear anyone say that it was unlucky.
"47! Good harvest, and most of it is blue cod, the price is relatively high, I invite you to eat whale meat tonight, now rest for a while, and then go and collect a net. Elk was pleased with the first net and intends to make good on his bet.
"Hahaha, is whale meat delicious?" Hong Tao's conspiracy succeeded again, and he laughed treacherously.
"It's very good, but it's a pity that the number of whales killed is less now, and you should know that many people in the world oppose the killing of whales." Elk doesn't seem to be happy with the environmental groups.
The waves are getting bigger and bigger, even if he is tied to a safety rope, Hong Tao has to hold the mast on the edge of the winch to fix his body, and he is basically unable to work, and Wang Jian is even more miserable, not only can he not pick fish, but he is also a little seasick. Seeing that the two workers were already half-crippled, Elk and Odd decided to stop the fishing operation, and they asked Hong Tao and Wang Jian to go to the helm to control the boat, and then went into battle to collect the remaining two nets.
Professional is professional, two people work, faster than Hong Tao and Wang Jian plus Elke, less than 1 hour to collect the two nets, the catch is basically the same as the first one. Since this kind of gillnet is laid in the same sea area, the catch rate is very close, either no fish are caught or all are fished, and the catch is basically fish in the same school.
"Alright, we're back, hurry up!" The return trip was Elke's boat, and due to the strong waves, the boat was slapped directly into the water by the waves many times, and then stubbornly drilled out. Looking at Hong Tao's little heart, it was a seven-up and eight-down, Wang Jian was even frightened, and his little face turned white.
It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon when he landed, Elke dragged Hong Tao and Wang Jian, the two defeated soldiers, home, and Odd went to the fish market alone to sell fish, these cod were to be sold on the same day, and once they were put the next day, no one wanted them.
"You help me smell it, why do I think my hair smells fishy!" After taking a shower. Wang Jian was relieved, but he seemed to be sick, and he sniffed his clothes and hands with his nose when he had nothing to do. I always feel that I have a smell in my body.
"There's a fishy smell of fart, you have touched a total of 13 fish, and you dare to make up for the old fishermen!" Hong Tao Wang Jian's outstretched head pushed back.
"Dumplings! How dare you lie to my father! If you make dumplings for us at home at night, that bet doesn't count! "On the couch downstairs, Pan and Elk were talking. When he saw Hong Tao coming down from upstairs, he immediately jumped up, intending to play tricks.
"Hey. Elk, your daughter is going to cheat! Odd is back in a moment, you can ask Odd, our bet is very fair! "Hong Tao doesn't eat this set, it's hard to trick the whale meat to eat, is it easy! It must not be changed to dumplings.
"I don't know how you bet? You never bet on something you're not sure about, and you didn't say in advance that you watched the documentary, it's a foul, so the bet can't be counted! Pan seems to have inquired about the bet while Hong Tao was taking a bath, and even knew the nonsense that Hong Tao made up.
"Elke, you've been fooled, I didn't remind you yesterday, this dumpling is the most treacherous! You see, let him succeed again! Pan also felt that this Lai was not very easy to play, so he could only blame his father.
"I'm back, dumplings! King! Come and get your paychecks! As he spoke, Odd walked in through the door, holding a roll of money in his hand and placing it on the table.
The Norwegian krone is a lilac with a portrait of an old man with a trendy hairstyle!
This was Hong Tao's only impression of the 500 yuan face value of Norwegian kroner, because his hand was stretched slowly, and a roll of money was snatched by Pan.
"Oh...... You've made so much money! Well, let's just pay for your meal at our house! Pan counted the few hundred crowns, and then put them in his pocket.
"Let's go for a beer and not worry about whale meat at night." Elkra walked to the kitchen with Hongtao, they hadn't eaten at noon, and Hannah was cooking in the kitchen.
"Then she took my salary!" Hong Tao plans to get Elke to come forward and get the money back.
"Villanica has had a habit since she was a child, as long as the money is in her pocket, she can't take it out!" Elke knew that these young people were joking, and they didn't fall for Hong Tao.
Lunch is simple, one side sandwich per person, plus a beer. This time, the sandwich was not filled with salmon, it was changed to chicken, and it was a little spicy because it had a layer of yellow sauce.
In the end, the money Hongtao didn't touch it, so he had no choice but to go upstairs and sleep obediently, getting up too early in the morning, and tossing for more than half a day of physical labor, and fell asleep when he went to bed.
In the evening, Hong Tao was picked up from bed by Pan, washed his face, and followed the Elkes to eat out for dinner, of course, whale meat is still indispensable.
When I went out, it was drizzling outside, which was finer than a cow's hair, and I couldn't feel it if I didn't feel it carefully, but if I didn't use an umbrella, I would get wet in a few minutes.
According to Pan's introduction, Bergen was originally known as the rain city, and Europeans called Bergen a city with umbrellas, where it rains more than half of the year, and the other half of the time is not idle, snowing!
There's also a joke about how one year it rained for 199 days in Bergen, so the inhabitants of Bergen planned to hold a feast to celebrate the 200 days of rain. As a result, the next day, the weather suddenly cleared, but the banquet was held as usual, and everyone celebrated the first sunny day of the year instead.
Hong Tao originally thought that he was going to some restaurant to eat whale meat, but he didn't expect Elke and Pan to talk about driving without mentioning the car, so they walked along the seaside for about 2 kilometers and came to a huge pier.
"This is the place to have dinner?" Hong Tao finally couldn't help it and asked Pan secretly.
"Well, this is my favorite place to come when I was a kid, the biggest fish market in Norway!" Pan patted his chest as he spoke, looking very proud.
"Oh, it turned out to be a food stall, too! Food stalls are fresher! Hong Tao doesn't mind eating seafood in food stalls, which he has the impression that seafood should be fresher and cheaper than those in restaurants.
This fish market is really not small, occupying the entire square in the innermost part of the wharf, there are about 4 or 50 stalls, very similar to our free market, the only difference is that no matter how small the stalls are, the ground, shelves, tables and chairs including the canopy overhead, are very clean and tidy, the setting is cleaner than many of our big vegetable markets, and what is more valuable is that a fly can't be seen, this should be a climate problem, after all, flies can't fly out with an umbrella.
In fact, this market not only sells seafood, but also one-third of the stalls sell other goods, such as those that specialize in selling all kinds of caviar, and the whole three horizontal refrigerators are full of all kinds of caviar, I am afraid there are hundreds of kinds, absolutely not the same; There are also those who sell vegetables and meat, and the most surprising thing for Hong Tao is that the Norwegians actually made moose sausages, which are as thick as their arms, more than 300 crowns per kilogram, Hong Tao did not hesitate, and came directly to two, and then he and Wang Jian's wages in the morning were basically spent.
In addition, there are a few stalls that sell wood carvings and all kinds of furs, Norwegians advocate nature, so not only build houses like to use wood, all kinds of gadgets also like to use wood, these wood carvings are very fun, are a dwarf and Viking warriors in raincoats, Hong Tao plans to bring back to China to give people away, pick a few of each, make up a box, and pay a painful price again, but he found a Norwegian profiteer's trick, that is, you can also spend euros and dollars here, and the ratio is according to the price of the day, And these stalls can be swiped by card, which is according to the strength to drain every penny of your money.
