He Rui had breakfast with Yang Jing and Gege on the Blue Whale. When He Rui was eating fried dough sticks and dumplings and drinking thick soy milk, she was so moved that she almost cried.
According to this girl, I haven't eaten fried dough sticks, soy milk and steamed dumplings for almost four months...
The Blue Whale was originally equipped with three chefs, but all of them cooked Western food. In Boston, Lin Dan found a Chinese chef and invited this forty-something Chinese chef to join the ship with a monthly salary of 20,000 US dollars.
Thanks to the Chinese chef, Yang Jing and Gege no longer have to drink milk and eat fried eggs, bacon, pancakes, etc. every morning. This chef, Wang Jianbo, who is from Xuzhou, can cook both Shandong and Jiangsu cuisine, and can be said to have taken good care of Yang Jing and Gege's appetite.
When Chef Wang Jianbo heard that he would be cooking for the Chinese compatriots at the Yellow River Station when he came to Ny-Ålesund, he was very happy. He started preparing the side dishes yesterday and made some dishes and soups that took a long time to cook. He would show his skills at lunch and dinner today.
Thanks to the publicity after He Rui returned, all the staff at the Yellow River Station knew that a wealthy man from China had come here and wanted to treat the compatriots at the station to an authentic Chinese meal. So at noon, except for the people who stayed behind at the station, everyone else came. At night, only three people on duty were left at the station, and the rest of the people came again.
Yang Jing and Gege also met Stationmaster Li, whom He Rui admired so much.
It has to be said that Stationmaster Li has really devoted himself to the Yellow River Station. The old man is 61 years old and should have retired last year. However, this respectable old stationmaster has not yet completed a research project, so he stayed at the Yellow River Station for another year. He will not truly retire until September this year.
Stationmaster Li is a true scholar and manager. He is not only the stationmaster of the Yellow River Station, but also previously served as the stationmaster of the Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station in Antarctica. He can be said to be a scholar with extremely rich experience in polar work.
Such people are worthy of admiration no matter where they go.
The crew on the Blue Whale also knew the rules of New Alesund. If they went ashore to eat, they had to go to the Wangwan Company's canteen. The food there was not bad, but it was far inferior to the food carefully prepared by the chef on the ship. So even the crew was reluctant to go down to eat.
The lunch was delicious, and the dinner was even more lively and sumptuous. After dinner, the staff of the Yellow River Station even had a good time in the ballroom on the ship for several hours before reluctantly returning to the station.
As for He Rui, after receiving special approval from Stationmaster Li, she stayed on the boat that night. She and Gege wanted to have a good chat.
This made Yang Jing miserable. The miserable Yang Jing was kicked out of the room, and he had no choice but to take his quilt to the cabin to keep Dabai company.
As a result, when they got to the cabin, Dabai also had a lot of opinions about Yang Jing.
Today, whether landing in New Alesund or doing other things, Yang Jing and Gege did not bring Dabai. The main reason was that Yang Jing considered that New Alesund was a scientific research base. If he brought Dabai up there, he was worried that the security forces of the base would not be willing. So Yang Jing had the heart to leave Dabai in the cabin.
As a result, Dabai, who had been suppressed for a whole day, felt so wronged that he pressed Yang Jing down as soon as he saw him. If Yang Jing's physique was not good enough, he would have been able to push the shit out of his stomach with just this one push.
In the end, Yang Jing lost energy and apologized, and finally Dabai forgave him.
Dabai, as Yang Jing continuously inputs energy into him, is now as smart as a four or five-year-old child. Just imagine, if you lock up a four or five-year-old child at home for a day, when you get home, Dabai will be the same as the child...
The Blue Whale stayed at the dock in Ny-Ålesund for a whole day. It was not until He Rui reluctantly got off the ship early the next morning that the Blue Whale set sail again.
However, after leaving the port this time, the Blue Whale will not dock again until the end of this trip. In the next period of time, the Blue Whale will sail south along the west coast of Svalbard, all the way to the Norwegian offshore waters, then sail along the offshore area of the northern end of the Eurasian continent, cross the southern end of the Barents Sea, enter the Kara Sea through the Kara Strait, continue sailing eastward along the coastline, and finally arrive at the Nordenskiöld Islands west of the Taymyr Peninsula.
The entire journey is about 2,300 nautical miles. If everything goes well, it will take the Blue Whale a week to reach the final Rastorguyev Island, formerly known as Kolchak Island.
It was already August, and the Arctic Ocean had entered the warmest period of the year. The waters near the coastline were no longer frozen, and the floating icebergs had either completely melted or drifted away. Anyway, this route was now almost flat and safe.
Of course, in this season, the originally quiet Arctic Ocean route has become much busier, with more and more ocean-going cargo ships and cruise ships coming and going. Many of Russia's coastal areas within the Arctic Circle, as well as some scientific research and military bases established on Arctic Ocean islands, need to take advantage of this short and warm period to rush for supplies.
There are not only more ships on the route, but also more animals. Whales can be seen from time to time on the sea. Right whales, narwhals, Greenland whales, beluga whales, sperm whales can all be seen in the Arctic Ocean during this season, and even giant blue whales can be seen occasionally.
