Chapter 1556: Life is not easy

"My dear, get up soon! It's dawn now!" Emilia pushed Xiao Peng, who was still asleep in her sleeping bag, up.
Xiao Peng yawned, "My dear, there are only less than four hours a day here at night. There is nothing you can bring with you at dawn, why are you so excited?"
He is so worried now. After talking with Kuva for N hours yesterday, he just asked Kuva what he wanted, but it turned out to be a crying meeting for Kuva.
His request is extremely simple, and Xiao Peng feels embarrassed for the simple: medical treatment and means of making money.
Although he has a fur business to handle, his sales are limited after all, and he doesn’t make a lot of money. Almost all Inuit tribes are in fur business, and they can’t sell more. The protection regulations are really not covered.
So what these Inuit people hate most is Hitler. (PS: The current animal protection regulations in Europe and the United States were almost all formulated by Hitler that year. The current smoking in public places and the nine-year compulsory education were all developed by Hitler first.)
Now their fur business can cost them the fuel they use in the summer. That’s why they see Xiao Peng’s plane and so many people go to ask for rent together. For them, it’s a way to make money. It's really too little.
They have only two profit methods for the entire village: a limited fur business and rent to the scientific expedition personnel of the Stars and Stripes.
And Xingtiao National Science and Technology Examination personnel do not come every year. So it's really difficult for them to make money.
what? Selling seafood? The least valuable thing in Alaska is seafood! The seafood caught here is shipped out and sold? Not enough gas money!
It turns out that they can live without money, but people are like this. It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. After they are used to modern tools such as cars, motor boats, firearms, and electric sleds, they naturally don’t want to live like before, but they can only live in a different place if they want to change their lifestyle, and they can’t live if they change their living environment. Go down-one by one must starve to death.
So this is basically a contradiction that cannot be reconciled.
And as Kuva said, what they need most is medical care, so let the medical staff come here to live? That is basically a idiot dream--no one might be willing to give money, let alone no money? And every summer is a period of high incidence of diseases here, and the death rate of Inuit people in summer is higher than that in cold winter.
This Kuva is very good. His mother sent him to Fairbanks to study at a young age. The Inuit were not as poor as they thought, and there were many big landlords in them.
Originally, they meant to let Kuva stay in Fairbanks, but Kuva returned here to live with the tribe, just wanting to bring the tribe’s life better, but he did his best, at least he was settled. It's much better, but still far from it.
Like the Inuit in southern Alaska, they all live in modern houses and use heating in winter, but here? In winter, they still live the most traditional Inuit lifestyle of dog sled catching seals.
However, Xiao Peng thought for a long time and did not directly agree to Kuwa's request, because unless Huaxia was interested in this place, he would not be able to help the people here make money. This must wait for him to return to the country before he can reply. He can't do tourism here, right? Of course, there must be people who like to come to such a place, but do you really want to rely on tourism for food? All of them starved to death!
But he is also very curious, why Kuva and the others are willing to give such a large land to themselves? Just believe that you can bring them wealth?
As a result, Kuwa’s answer made Xiao Peng admirable. He said: ‘People want to make money, not by how hard the poor work, but by how the rich do. ’
In order to entertain the rich Xiao Peng, they decided to welcome Xiao Peng with the most traditional welcome ceremony-that is, whaling!
Every year this season, there are tens of thousands of bowhead whales going north to breed their offspring, and they are the best prey of these Inuit. That is this kind of whale, the whale with the thickest blubber-more than half a meter thick! Inuit’s favorite food is fat. For them, what tastes is secondary, and what is good for the human body is the most important!
And they are too cold here, fat is the most suitable food.
The modern fishing boats placed on the shore finally have the opportunity to go to sea-the Inuit people cherish the fishing boats. These fishing boats are kept on the shore when they are not in use.
The ship is not big, just as big as Xiao Peng's "Dumpling". There were only six people on board. They use towline spearguns to hunt whalers. There are many large pontoons attached to the spearguns on the ship, so that after the spearguns hit the bowhead whales, they will not be able to submerge if they want to dive into the seabed. They can only become targets at sea and continue to be attacked until they die. .
But now there are more than a hundred people on the shore farewell to the whaling ship leaving - this kind of whaling activity is a grand gathering for everyone in their village, and the whale meat caught is for everyone. And these people come everywhere, some in cars, some in carriages, so that we can see the gap between the rich and the poor.
Yes, Inuit people also have horses in their lives, they are all Yakut horses. This is a kind of pony. It is 1.5 meters tall even if you count the horse's head. Xiao Peng in the Sakha Republic has seen this stuff. Don’t look at the short but definitely a hard-working master. The low temperature is 60 degrees below zero. Can live well. Is a good partner for some Inuit.
Before the whaling, they also had a ritual, which was to let the children jump on the trampoline at the beach. Let's call it a trampoline, because there is no flexibility at all. Only a group of people threw the children into the sky.
Xiao Peng thought this ceremony was a kind of blessing, but Kuva told him that it was indeed an ancient tradition. Throwing children into the sky by jumping from a bed was not for blessing, but to find a whale further away.
However, Xiao Peng felt that this was a bit redundant. The jet of water spewed out when the bowhead whale breathed naturally became the people's navigator. Soon they found the whale's trail and moved the boat closer. Finally disappeared from people's vision, and waited for a few hours. There were cheers on the shore, and Xiao Peng knew that this was the return of whaling!
The gigantic bowhead whale is towed by several vehicles to the shore, and the adult bowhead whale can weigh close to 200 tons! Don't think that this thing is not as big as a blue whale, but it is heavier than a blue whale. It is absolutely right "fat whale"! Fortunately, what they caught was a baby whale, otherwise it might not be able to drag it up!
However, even a juvenile whale can at least produce dozens of tons of whale meat and more than 50 tons of whale oil! People like this whale have been eating for ten days and a half months!
Watching them deal with whales is also a knowledge: a group of men are responsible for dealing with whale meat.
They have a special tool for whale meat, which looks more like Lu Zhishen's shovel. The strong man climbed onto the whale and used all his strength to cut the whale skin into cracks.
The people below used hooks to hook the whale at the cut position. A group of people pulled back like a tug-of-war, pulling the whale skin apart to reveal the meat inside. For them, this fat whale skin is the most delicious part of the whale.
The people underneath were not idle either, using spears to bled the whales. And to collect the blood of these whales with buckets, Xiao Peng thought they also had the habit of making blood sausages, but it turned out that he was wrong. These whale blood are used to soak whale meat. The whale meat is cut into large pieces of dozens of catties and dozens of catties for everyone. They soak the best whale meat and the best whale blood together, and then ferment them. It will be eaten after a little bit of rot after more than ten days.
This whale is really too big. Each person divided a few hundred catties of whale meat and added a few hundred catties of whale fat to half, and the rest of the whale meat is the staple food of today's party.
The skin of bowhead whales is about five centimeters thick, and another five centimeters of fat are left. Cut into strips the thickness of the thumb. This is their favorite snack. Whale fat is indispensable in their lives. Whether it is food or lighting, it is tested in winter.
Seeing them eating the whale meat, Xiao Peng was not interested at all.
This is not because Xiao Peng doesn't eat raw meat. Isn't all Japanese dishes like raw meat? The point is that when cutting the whale it attracted too many mosquitoes and flies. Seeing them climbing on the whale, Xiao Peng couldn't eat how good his appetite was.
It’s no wonder that people here are prone to get sick in summer, and they are the people who believe in ‘if you don’t clean and eat without getting sick’!
However, they have no way to eat such a habit. After all, there is no way to grow vegetables here, they can only eat meat. And if the meat is cooked and eaten, it will destroy the vitamins in the meat, so this way of eating raw is the most scientific eating habit - except for those flies.
However, the Inuit people also noticed this, and the whale remains after being cut would be quickly thrown away from the village.
These wrecks will not go to waste: after all, there are too many scavengers here, from birds to wolves and dogs are the beneficiaries of these wrecks. In the autumn and winter seasons, polar bears will come to eat. This is also the reason why the Inuit will deal with these wrecks as soon as possible: attracting polar bears is not fun.
After Xiao Peng checked their bodies for everyone here, under the leadership of Kuwa, it took three days to run a circle on this land, leaving behind countless video materials, and then left. Pointlet.
You can’t leave without leaving--the life here is really not for humans.
It is impolite if you don't eat the food they serve, but Xiao Peng really can't eat it! Who can bear the stuff like seal oil soaked seal meat to eat every day! Still have to fight against flies and mosquitoes, is this hell?
Fools are not cheating!
