After eating and drinking, Yang Jing patted his belly and said to Old Ivan with some difficulty: "Victor, I found that I must have gained several pounds in weight in the past few days when I was with you. How come you have friends who cook gourmet food wherever you go?"
Old Ivan put down the cigar in his hand with a smile, "Actually, I have only two hobbies in my life, one is sailing, and the other is food. Mr. Alekperov also loves food, so in these years of traveling around with Mr. Alekperov, every time I go to a place, I remember everything else, but I remember all the food there. Then when I go there again in the future, I will definitely go there to taste all kinds of food. Over time, even Mr. Alekperov will ask me what food there is every time I go to a place."
The old man said this with great pride, and it was obvious that he had no regrets about having such a life for the rest of his life.
To be honest, Yang Jing was a little envious when he heard these words. What kind of life is good? What kind of life is comfortable?
It's very simple. It's not that you have a good life or a comfortable life just because you eat the best food and sleep in a big bedroom like a palace. In fact, like old Ivan, doing what you like to do and eating your favorite food for every meal is actually a very enviable and comfortable life.
People like Old Ivan, although not rich, have really made money serve them instead of being a slave to money. This kind of lifestyle and attitude towards life is what Yang Jing yearns for.
At night, the group stayed at the resort. It was not a very comfortable thing to just float on the boat. Although the Siberian Endeavour was a super yacht, it was still far from being a real super yacht that was hundreds of meters long and had a displacement of over 10,000 tons. It would be fine if we stayed on a super yacht that was like a palace on the sea for a few more days, but the displacement of the Siberian Endeavour was so large that we could feel it shaking even in an inland river.
After a long time, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.
Yang Jing slept very comfortably. After breakfast the next morning, the group said goodbye to Nicholas and continued sailing.
Because it is sailing in a wide reservoir, the speed of the Siberian Endeavour can be increased to 20 knots, which is nearly 40 kilometers per hour.
It is said that this reservoir made Ust-Kamenogorsk prosperous, but in fact, this reservoir feeds far more than just Ust-Kamenogorsk. Along the way, Yang Jing saw many small villages and small holiday villas beside the reservoir. The beautiful scenery is indeed the most nourishing place.
The peaks on both sides of the reservoir also began to gradually become higher, and mountains of four or five hundred meters could be seen everywhere. However, it was precisely because the peaks on both sides of the reservoir had become higher that the line of sight was greatly affected. Yang Jing could only stand on the deck and use the Sky Eye skill to scan the surroundings every once in a while.
As a result, even after walking all 70 kilometers of the reservoir, Yang Jing still didn't find any useful places.
But Yang Jing was not upset. After all, the 1,100 tons of gold of the last Tsar were hidden in the upper reaches of the Irtysh River. This was just Yang Jing's own inference based on many clues and information. He did not have a very accurate clue to confirm that the gold was hidden in this area.
So this time we took a boat upstream, the purpose was more to have fun than to hunt for treasure. It would be great if we could find gold, but if we couldn't, we could just take a look at the beautiful scenery of the upper reaches of the Irtysh River.
Yang Jing and his crew set out from the resort at around 7am. After two hours of sailing, they saw a 400-meter-long dam in front of them. On the east side of the dam, there was a long four-level ship lock, and several ships of different sizes were waiting to pass through the lock to enter the Bukhtamar Reservoir upstream.
Old Ivan also entered the queue while driving his yacht. Then after nearly four hours, the Siberian Endeavour finally passed through the lock and entered the Bukhtamar Reservoir, the largest reservoir in Kazakhstan and the fifth largest in the world.
