Chapter 630: Schiller's Leisurely Vacation (Part I)
Brughhaven, a small city on the east coast not far from Gotham, is also on the coastline, and the climate of Gotham is completely different, if not altogether, with perennial sunshine, sunshine hours and intensity, among all cities on the East Coast.
Originally, it could be developed into a very good tourist city, but because of its relatively small land area, there are many hills and mountains around, the coastline is not long enough, and the supporting facilities in the city are not enough, so it cannot meet the needs of a large number of tourists.
If it was closer to the metropolis, then it may have been developed long ago, because if it is within half an hour's drive from the metropolis, then tourists can enter the metropolis and solve some accommodation and food needs.
However, no tourist will be brave enough to go deep into Gotham to stay, and tourists come to the coastal city to bask on the beach, and the rainy weather in Gotham will ruin their good mood for the day, so Brudehaven's development has been tepid.
But since the phone call from Mayor Royin of Gotham City, it has partly improved people's prejudice against Gotham, namely the high crime rate and chaos here, in fact, there are also reasons for the government's inaction, and there are also many curious backpackers who want to come here to observe, and their foothold is Brughhaven.
Coupled with the surge in the number of workers due to the development of Gotham's logistics industry, many people who want to try their luck in looking for a job here will choose Brighthaven as an outpost, because it is only a 20-minute drive to Gotham, and if life in Gotham is not satisfactory to them, they can turn around and leave.
After all, the prices and rents in Gotham are no joke, although the people here are rotten, they are not poor, or in other words, they are poor in the circulation system of Gotham City, but if they are taken out, they can be regarded as a subsistence class.
It can be compared to this, generally speaking, the kind of ordinary gangsters who show the doors of nightclubs in Gotham belong to the lower income level in Gotham, but if they come to Brughhaven, they become representatives of a well-off life.
One might ask, so they don't have a good time living in Bloomhaven? Why fight and kill in the gangs?
But not only are they gangster thugs, their fathers, mothers, grandparents are gangsters, and all their interpersonal relationships are maintained in this system, and it is difficult to make changes, and if the gang leaders don't agree, they can't run, otherwise, the shark's next meal will be there.
In addition, the Gotham Gangs have a good income, not because they have the skills to survive, or because they have a good educational background, the gangsters have not read any books, have no skills, and it is impossible for them to find jobs with such high wages after leaving the Gotham system.
This is the problem that residents of high-income and high-price areas will encounter when they move to low-income and low-price areas, they want to get low prices with high wages at the same time, but low-price areas often do not have high wages, and the supporting facilities are insufficient, so they would rather endure such high prices than move to low-price areas.
This is also the reason why Brughhaven, as a neighboring city in Gotham, has a very good security situation.
To put it bluntly, the residents of Gotham don't look down on this place at all, they work hard here for a month, and they may not earn much more than a week for a gang in Gotham, even if the price of Bruder Sea cultural relics is low, but the materials are relatively expensive, and some things have to be bought in Gotham, so why not live in Gotham directly? Locals are at least familiar with the road and a little safer.
Many backpackers who come to Bloomhaven say that this is the closest paradise to hell, whether it is the climate, scenery, or culture, Bloomhaven is not inferior to those tourist cities on the East Coast.
Again, unlike a bustling metropolis like Gotten, Brookhaven is a small town with a slower pace of life and a laid-back pace of life, thanks to the abundant catch on the East Coast.
The industrial structure here is also dominated by fishing docks, seafood processing and export and logistics industries, and there are three docks in the whole town, except for one of which is relatively large because it was built relatively late, and the other two were built by Europeans during the colonial period, and they are relatively old now.
"Sir, you may not have heard of this pier, it broke down about three or four years ago, and the mayor said there was no need to fix it, and then he changed it to a fishing pier." A little boy in overalls and a fisherman's hat ran to the wooden platform of the pier and pointed to Schiller behind him.
"Look, do you see those boats? It is a special boat for visitors to experience shallow sea fishing, and the boaters will teach them the most basic shallow water fishing skills, whether they can use a rod or a fishing net. ”
"For five dollars, you can take one of the fattest fish in between, and if you'll give me another fifty cents, I'll take you to the restaurant next door, where the owner's fish soup and soup are amazing."
"Five dollars is too expensive, I don't really like fish, but if it can be cheaper, I'd like to try it." Schiller also walked up to the wooden platform of the pier and looked into the distance, looking at the fishing boats one after another, and had to admit that this was still very distinctive.
Generally speaking, if you want to fish in the sea, the cost is quite high, at least the average family who comes to the holiday cannot afford to rent a fishing boat, which is something that only the old man can play.
This tourism project launched by Brughhaven is a bit like a simple beggar's version, the fishing boat is an ordinary wooden boat with a motor, and the fisherman on the boat is also a local fisherman, who has fished for a lifetime with such a boat, and the fishing nets used are not high-end goods, and some are a little tattered.
But what can be seen is that almost every fishing boat is carrying tourists, and they are all having fun, even if the speed of this kind of fishing boat is far from trawling, and the net is all about luck, and there are not many fish in one net, but most of the tourists, especially those who are families, have a good time.
Schiller began to admire Mayor Brughhaven's wisdom, you know, in this era, most of the tourism industry is for the rich, and many tourist cities have not yet turned their heads, and the projects they provide are not close enough to the people.
In most coastal tourist cities, except for the beach, which is free to use, anything that enters the sea is expensive, such as sea fishing, diving, etc.
"Okay, sir, three dollars, okay?"
"I'll give you two dollars and fifty cents at the most, and of course I can tip you another fifty cents, and I'll treat you to dinner." Schiller smiled, reached out and patted the little boy on the shoulder, and said, "Go find me a boat." ”
The little boy cheered, ran down the dock, and came to the seashore, and in a few moments he found a boat for Schiller, who ran to Schiller and said, "Sir, I bet that no one will ever find a boat so to your liking!" ”
"You said you were a university professor, so you should be more comfortable with young people, but most of the fishermen here are not young, and sometimes, I have a headache for their stubborn temper, and I am afraid that you will not be able to talk, so I found the only young fisherman here......"
"Come here, Viking, this is Professor Rodriguez, my new client, a very generous university professor, he wants to take your fishing boat to experience it, get him a good fish, and I'll treat you to dinner when I get back."
As soon as Schiller turned his head, he saw the man the little boy shouted, he was naked, wearing a pair of shorts on the lower half of his body, revealing a toned body like a sculpture, his hair was blonde, and his sideburns were long until they were connected with the beard of the jaw, but there was no beard on his chin, and he looked arrogant and wild.
He first looked at Schiller with his eagle-like eyes, then moved his body to the side, left a vacant seat for Schiller, pointed to his boat, and said, "Come on." ”
Schiller looked down at his feet, at this time, he was still standing on the beach, and the fishing boat was floating on the sea, now at least three meters away from him, he opened his mouth for a moment, and then asked, "How to get on?" ”
The little boy who was the tour guide next to him slapped him on the forehead and shouted at the man, "Why did you forget again?!" What about the ladder that is referred? What old Wieland told you before, have you forgotten the guidelines for treating tourists? ”
As if he had just remembered, the man in the boat took a plank from the ship, anchored the ship, and lowered it, and Schiller walked up the plank.
Schiller turned around and waved his hand to the little boy of the guide, feeling the boat under his feet begin to shake, the blonde man seemed a little silent, Schiller walked to the side of the boat with some curiosity, and then the man hummed and said: "Don't always stare at the sea, you will get seasick." ”
Schiller slowly looked away and asked him, "I heard my guide say, your name is Viking?" This should be your nickname, right? ”
"Yes, but I don't like it very much, I'm not a pirate." The Viking walked up to the cabin and began to arrange the tools, and he asked, "Do you want to use a fishing rod or a trawl?" ”
"Let's fish first, can you help me find a good fishing spot?" Schiller said that the Vikings crouched down and began to sort out the lines and rods, and as they were, he said, "It's not the right time for you to come, now that there are more people, the good fishing spots are occupied, and I know a few other good fishing spots......
"Oh, I see, I'll be happy to tip half more if I had a good catch today." Schiller stepped forward and crouched down, looking at the rods of different lengths and said.
"No, I'm not asking for a tip, I just want to say that those fishing spots are more troublesome, and you may need to have better fishing skills."
The Vikings began to arrange the fishing line, but Schiller stood up and looked at the sea, as the Vikings said, almost all the places on the sea were now occupied by fishing boats, and the Vikings were now moving in this direction, there were no boats.
"My fishing skills are not good, but they are not terrible, we can go over and try it, if we really can't catch it, then forget it, I don't like fish very much anyway." Schiller shrugged his shoulders and seemed to be very talkative, but instead made the Vikings look up at him with some surprise, and the Vikings took the initiative to ask:
"You're a college professor? What university do you teach? ”
"Gotham University."
The fishing line in the Vikings' hands turned into a mess.
