Chapter 381: Conquering the domestic products of the Arctic

Xiao Peng and Elder Al exchanged a few words and greeted everyone to move things to the complex. This is also the location of the public restaurant in the New-Alesund Science City. Xiao Peng and others will also eat here.
It may be considered that the people in New-Alesund are from all over the world. The food here is exceptionally delicious. When it’s time for dinner, members of scientific expeditions from different countries with different skin colors and languages ​​come here to choose the food to be placed on the table. , The freshly baked bread and pastries slid out. There are also five or six kinds of meat such as steak, ham, and prawns. What is even more surprising is that there are many vegetables and fruits here. The tidy hall is rich in food, giving people a strong appetite.
"Wow, good luck today, there are fish."
"This cod looks very fresh."
"I like the plaice better here. What day is it today? Did Elder Al go to Longyearbyen to buy?"
"Stop it, there is no plane to come here today, okay!"
"Anyway, thank old Al, we haven't had any delicious fish for a month."
"Who can blame this? The price of fish has been so much higher recently. Do you expect the glutinous rice chicken to buy us fish at a high price? Isn't this a dream?"
"I know the iron rooster, what does glutinous rice chicken mean?"
"I have to ask? You don't need to say anything, you have to get a little bit of it."
"Hahahahaha..."
Old Al didn't get angry when he listened to these people teasing him, and tapped the dinner plate in his hand with a spoon: "Everyone, be quiet, listen to me."
Everyone looked at Old Al, and Old Al said: "Today we ate this delicious fish. Everyone would like to thank our new Chinese friends in New Orsund for their generous donations, so that we can taste delicious fish. Let’s all pay tribute to our Chinese friends!"
"Thank our Chinese friends!"
"Wow, you are the savior for all of us! We have no fish on our recipes for two weeks. This is simply suffering!"
"Friends of China, just say a few words!"
"Yes! Say a few words!"
Xiao Peng looked at the roaring scientists from all over the world, feeling quite helpless. However, Xiao Peng can also understand that staying in this remote town all the year round, everyone on the island can get together when it comes to eating spots. New faces will inevitably arouse everyone's interest.
Xiao Peng coughed a few times and stood up. After thinking for a long time, he didn't know what to say. After holding back his face for a long time, his face turned red. Finally, he gritted his teeth and picked up the borscht on the table: "Everyone eats well! A bowl of soup and wine to everyone! Feel free to everyone, I'm done!"
Seeing Xiao Peng gulping and drinking soup, all the scientists were stunned. Hey, what does this mean?
Station Master Yang even covered his forehead, wishing to hide away from Xiao Peng.
Do you think this is the wine table? What the is using soup instead of wine?
After eating, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng visited the town.
Yang Meng watched and sighed in admiration: "Look, there are so many scientific research stations, the Yellow River Station is the most spectacular!"
Xiao Peng agreed with Yang Meng's words. Despite the fact that so many scientific research stations are similar two-story small buildings, a pair of stone lions stand at the entrance of Huanghe Station in a traditional Chinese style. This is deliberately shipped from the country, and it is unique throughout New Alesund.
Yang Meng pointed to a building and said, "Go, there is a souvenir shop. Let's go and see what is sold in it?"
The two wandered to the souvenir shop, which is really big. It was full of various plush toys, including polar bears, walruses and whales. People who didn't know thought they came to the toy store. There are also pure wool blankets, commemorative T-shirts, antler specimen boat models, etc.
Yang Meng was also simply, and stuffed some toy blankets into the shopping cart as if he didn't need money. Xiao Peng was really interested in the things in a cupboard: "There are still postcards and stamps for sale? Is there a post office here?"
The salesperson in the shop smiled and said, "We have the northernmost post office on earth. After you go out, keep walking to the left. The small white house with yellow roof is the post office. Buy a postcard here and send it home. , But it is very commemorative."
When Xiao Peng heard it, it really was. He bought some stamps and credit cards, wrote them in the store, and after thinking about it, others didn’t know the address, so he wrote a lot of postcards using his parents’ villa. Remember to write it all over. After writing dozens of postcards, Yang Meng also finished shopping. The two of them directly borrowed the large trolley from the tourist store and transported two carts to get all the messy things Yang Meng bought. Ship on board. But he didn't understand. Why would the shop owner give him a box of ink pad when he left? What's the use of this?
The owner of the tourist shop just lamented that Huaxia people are really rich and their purchasing power was too strong. When the crew of the Vladimir knew that there were tourist shops, they all rushed in and started buying souvenirs. The boss has been rejoicing. Fortunately, he had just prepared the goods, otherwise it would not be enough for the Chinese fishermen to sweep the goods. . . . . .
Are Chinese fishermen so rich?
Xiao Peng and Yang Meng walked together to the legendary northernmost post office on the earth: New Alesund Post Office.
The postbox was hung on the wall of the post office. Xiao Peng just wanted to put the credit card into the postbox, but Yang Meng stopped him: "You don't postmark, who knows where it is sent back from?"
Xiao Peng was right when he thought about it, and pushed the door into the post office, only to find no one when he entered. Except for the three stamps, the room was empty. Xiao Peng then understood why the shop owner had to stamp himself, and everything was self-sufficient.
The symbols of the three stamps are Spitsbergen; a tern soars from a snowy mountain, and two terns rest together. The words 79N are written on the three seals, which means that this place is 79 degrees north latitude. In New-Alesund, the 79N mark can be seen almost everywhere. Xiao Peng picked up his passport, stamped all three stamps, and stamped all the credit cards.
Yang Meng only stamped his passport, disdainful of Xiao Peng's act of sending credit cards: "You send these credit cards, you think you can receive them? I went to Tibet back then, bought a lot of postcards and sent them to friends. Zhang, I'll receive one for the special one."
Xiao Peng heard what Yang Meng said, but couldn't refute it. Looking at the postcard, each chapter had double stamps. I hope it can be a registered letter. There is no staff here, and you can’t do registration if you want. It only depends on my luck.
Who makes postcards belong to ordinary letters? It belongs to the last level in the mailing process, and is basically unattended. When the capacity is insufficient, ordinary mail is the last to leave. There was once a post office courier who was lazy and didn't deliver ordinary mail for several months. In the end, he threw them all away. It was later found out that he was carrying the director with him. But to be honest, those who have lost their letters have nothing to do. Who makes the ordinary mail post office not issue any receipts? Signing is not performed during the mailing process.
It is said that the loss rate of postcards in China is over 60%, which is still a conservative estimate. . . . . .
After thinking about it, Xiao Peng decided not to post it anyway. The local postmark here was already stamped anyway, and he just had to go back to find a post office to borrow the postmark and stamp it with the landing stamp. This is the North Pole, Xiao Peng doesn't want to lose his postcards and come back to buy a few!
After finishing all this, Xiao Peng walked out of the post office holding a stack of postcards, and Old Al just came to face him: "Xiao! My friend from China, I am looking for you!"
"Oh? Old Al, what can I do for you?" Xiao Peng asked.
Old Al said with a distressed expression: "Xiao, it is like this. We have regulations here that all tourists must leave that night. Xiao, I am really not targeting you, but we are located in the North Pole. The ecological environment here is very fragile. Once destroyed, it is difficult to recover. The environmental protection here is harsh for outsiders. There are as many as 25 kinds of garbage classification. Leftovers are buried on the spot, and the rest of the garbage has to be transported to the mainland of Norway, so all tourists are You are not allowed to stay here overnight."
"Oh? Then do you mean we leave?" Xiao Peng was not angry, after all, every place has its own rules. In places like New-Alesund, you have to walk carefully, and you must walk on a repaired road. The weeds on the roadside may be scientific experiments in which country.
Old Al hurriedly said: "No, Xiao, you have misunderstood what I mean. You are a friend of our Vikings, how could you let you leave. That's it, your crew stayed overnight on the ship, and you two Individuals can participate in our reception, do you think this is okay?"
"I think why is it? It's easy to tell. I will call my crew back on the ship. Having said that, it is not easy for you to distinguish between day and night." Xiao Peng said.
Now it's the polar day in the Arctic. It's broad daylight anytime, anywhere.
Old Al smiled: "When you have lived here for a long time, you will get used to it. We're settled. We will see you in'Mella Jarrett.'"
The Arctic summer is the golden season for field surgery. Scientists from all over the world are busy working five days a week, either going up the mountains or down the sea, or climbing glaciers for sampling. Only two days on the weekends, it is impossible to relax. And Saturday night is also the opening time of the island’s only bar ‘Mella Jarrett’. As long as it is open, it must be the happiest and busiest place in New-Alesund. After all, you can't expect to find other entertainment projects here, right?
Xiao Peng brought the crew back to the ship. At this time, they all finished shopping. It didn't matter to them to stay on the ship. Even if they lived in New Orson, they might not feel comfortable on the ship. After all, the Vladimir has equipped Xiao Peng with the BGAN system. That is, the broadband global area network. Although the internet speed is not very fast, there is no problem with playing games and chatting online, and every crew cabin has a home theater system. There is no such condition in New Alesund.
Yang Meng was sorting out the pile of souvenirs he bought: "Xiao Peng, you said these to the children of Wei Ya, they will be happy?"
Xiao Peng felt a little embarrassed when he heard that he was so careless that he had forgotten to buy gifts for the children. I hurriedly brought a few polar bear toys: "These are the ones I gave to the children."
Yang Meng smiled: "It was originally a gift for the two of us, and it is indispensable for you. Look at this little bear, how cute it is and it feels good... What a trough, Xiao Peng, it's dead at night. Those grandchildren!"
Xiao Peng looked at Yang Meng with a surprised look. What's wrong? Just now I was talking and laughing, why did I suddenly explode?
I saw Yang Meng handed the plush toy he bought to Xiao Peng, pointed at the plush toy's and said: "You are so special to see for yourself!"
When Xiao Peng saw it, he was speechless in an instant. I saw the small label on the back of the toy, which read: "MADEINCHINA".
Huaxia products have already captured the North Pole. . . . . .
