Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 422 Geyser (Two in One)

About swimming in winter in Iceland.

Ye Kai was going to do this, and he specifically consulted Ji Qing, who had been in the water once in winter, and Ji Qing told Ye Kai in detail what he needed to prepare and where it was safest to swim.

But Ji Qing's husband Andre told Ye Kai that after Ji Qing came back, he had to recuperate for a month before he could continue to go to work... This made Ye Kai feel that Ji Qing was as happy as Erha.

Ye Kai made enough preparations, but still didn't go.

It's really too cold. Ye Kai thinks that only people who have lived in cold areas since childhood can swim in the ice and snow. You must know that the current Tuoning Lake is frozen.

People have now been seen playing on the frozen waters of Lake Toning.

It is very likely that in a few days, the ice on Tuoning Lake will be thicker, and then this lake will become a very large square... Aunts who like to dance no longer have to worry about having no place to dance.

I was making electronic music on my computer at home when I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Among the people Ye Kai knew in Iceland, Kelly was the only one who would knock on the door like this. Today is the weekend, which happens to be a day when he doesn't have to go to work.

He opened the door, and it was him.

"Ye, I heard that you are going back to Huaxia in a few days?"

"Yep."

The time now is December 12th, and Ye Kai is going to go home on December 15th. Iceland has seen a decrease in tourists recently, so there is no need to worry about not being able to buy tickets, so Ye Kai is going to buy a ticket when he is about to leave.

"You didn't notify me of such a big event!" Kelly said with an exaggerated expression.

There's still half a month left, so it's too early to say I'm leaving, right?And Ye Kai told them a long time ago that he would leave Iceland after Christmas.

But Ye Kai knew that this was Kelly's character.

Shrugging his shoulders, Ye laughed a bit, let Kelly enter the room by opening the seat at the door, and said, "Then it's my fault, let's go out and play again when we find a chance?"

"No, where can I go now to enjoy the comfort of heating at home?"

Kelly suddenly thought of a place and said, "I just remembered that the food in a place is delicious. You probably haven't been to that store yet. I'll take you there to taste it!"

Just doing what he said, Kelly happily stood up from the sofa, and wanted to pull Ye Kai out together.

"Wait... I'll change clothes first, and by the way, you can call Ji Qing and the others and ask if they can go."

Today was another day when the sun just came out at twelve o'clock, and it must be night when we drove on the road at this time and started to eat somewhere, so I called Shang Jiqing and the others to come together.

If there are more people, you won't feel bored when you drive back later.

After all, it will be night, and the atmosphere will definitely drop after dark. If Ji Qing is there by then, the atmosphere will definitely not be too bad...

"Okay, okay, go change your clothes, go..."

Kelly was more anxious than Ye Kai, probably thinking of the delicious food in that restaurant, his stomach growled, and he stared at Ye Kai's stomach closely: "Are you hungry? Then go and change clothes.",

"..."

Ye Kai didn't match up with this naive ghost, and went back to the room to put on a newly bought Icelandic sweater. The thread of the Icelandic sweater is very thick, a bit like the one his mother wove for himself when he was very young.

It cannot be worn alone in the innermost part, it must be matched with an underwear.

The last was a long coat and a thick woolen hat. Kelly had already finished making calls when he went out, so he went out and got in the car driven by Kelly to pick up Ji Qing in the residential area.

Ji Qing and Andre were also wearing black down jackets, and now the four fat penguins got together, and everyone laughed when they met.

"Where are we going today?" Ji Qing asked.

She didn't know what was going on, when she heard Kelly say that she would invite Ye Kai to eat together, and asked if she would come, Ji Qing immediately agreed and pulled her husband along.

Ji Qing thought very simply... It is not easy to eat a meal that Kelly invited.

Although this guy is not married or in a relationship, he never has enough money left over from his monthly salary, and he spends it all on buying anime dolls. Such a small thing costs tens of thousands of dollars.

The toy sellers are crazy about money.

The point is that there are still people buying it, which is outrageous.

"Go to the restaurant opposite the geyser. The mutton soup in it is so delicious. There are few tourists this month. There must be a place in the restaurant."

"Oh... I know where it is, let's go now?"

Kelly said: "My car has come here, what do you think? Let's go, we can still catch up for lunch now, if it gets dark later, we will only have supper."

Except for Ye Kai, the four of them are all civil servants and office workers in Iceland.

They set a strict time for getting up and resting every day, and it is very clear when to wake up and when to rest, while Ye Kai is a free-spirited type, sometimes going to bed at seven or eight in the morning, sometimes two or three in the morning.

It was always dark anyway.

So at this time, Ye Kai was actually a little sleepy. He went to bed at [-]:[-] pm yesterday, and got up at [-]:[-] am this morning, and started making the electronic music that he had been thinking about for a while.

Everyone got in the car, and Ye Kai sat in the co-pilot.

Putting on the seat belt, Ye Kai started to rest, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep for a while... Although it is said that he just went to eat, there must be other activities after the meal. It is impossible to drive for two hours just to eat a meal.

Everyone has been working for a week and finally has time to go out to play, just have a meal?
Definitely have to sing a song or go to a nightclub or something...

Of course, Ji Qing will definitely not go to nightclubs, every time she hears someone suggesting to go to nightclubs or bars, she will seriously protest... In fact, Ye Kai thinks the same way, she might as well go home and read a book if she has this time.

The car stopped suddenly, and Ye Kai opened his eyes after feeling it, and asked, "Are you there?"

"Not yet... I only drove for 2 minutes, okay?" Kelly was a little speechless.

Ji Qing laughed and said: "I asked him to park here. Prepare some snacks in the car. You can eat and watch when you arrive at the geyser later. You can take out the mutton soup to drink."

"It's going to be cold soon, right?" Andre reminded.

"That's right! We still eat in the store, but we still need snacks..." While speaking, he was already walking towards the supermarket, and it seemed that he wanted to buy some snacks for himself to eat in the car.

Although he won't gain weight by eating, he still envies people who eat and don't gain weight.

I have a plug-in, what do you have?
Ye Kai waited in the car until he continued to fall asleep, and Kelly browsed the international version of Douyin with his mobile phone. After 10 minutes, Andre came out of the supermarket with a large bag of snacks.

"Why did you buy so many?"

If you can't finish eating, you can leave it to eat slowly, and it won't expire in a short time. What are you worried about?
Carrying things into the car, seeing Ye Kai still sleeping soundly, Ji Qing covered his mouth and smiled softly, and finally whispered to Kelly: "I think of the year when I first came to Iceland, and I can't tell the difference." Schedule."

Kelly said indifferently: "I can't tell the difference now."

"Ah? Then when did you sleep yesterday?"

"Sleep? Why sleep? Why do I sleep when I'm so young? You're asking such a strange question. I definitely didn't sleep yesterday. I'll go back to sleep when I get home. Tomorrow just happens to be at work."

Ji Qing and Andre looked at each other, their hairs stood on end, Ji Qing quickly said: "Then you sit in the back and have a good sleep, let Andre drive?"

"Hahahaha, of course I'm joking, I slept really well last night!"

Kelly seemed to feel that he had tricked Ji Qing, and the smile on his face was so arrogant that Ji Qing had the urge to hit someone... but worried that it would affect Ye Kai, the co-pilot who was sleeping and thinking, so he suppressed this idea go down.

"Humph!"

Cars driving on deserted roads in Iceland in winter.

For a long, long time, no car passed by. The surrounding moss was covered by heavy snow, which was several inches thick. Only the frequent passing of vehicles on the road prevented the ground from forming snow.

To be honest, many of the cars on this road during the day are driven by tourists.

Without these tourists, the government must have struggled to keep some of the most important roads open when universities cover Iceland's roads every winter.

That's why in the past few decades, even if there is a road, people still prefer to take a boat from the sea to Reykjavik instead of driving or taking a car.

The sound of the car driving on such a road has changed, and there is often the sound of ice being crushed.

Kelly also drove very slowly. On such a road, not only people skidded, but also the car skidded. It took an hour, four and 10 minutes to drive to a place that could have been reached in an hour, but Ji Qing felt very safe at this speed.

When approaching the geyser parking lot, Hou Jiqing woke up Ye Kai and said, "Now is the time."

Kelly went on to say: "Yes, this time it's here, it's really here."

He got out of the car with his lips tightly pursed and his eyes dull, his lips became a straight line, and the sides of his cheeks bulged slightly, making Ye Kai's face carefully carved by an ancient Greek sculptor round.

Caught off guard, a flash of light flashed in front of Ye Kai's eyes.

She looked at Ji Qing expressionlessly, and then looked at the mobile phone she was holding... Are you secretly taking pictures of me?Candid what do I do? ...Ye Kai's consciousness returned, but he still didn't know why Ji Qing took pictures of himself.

I looked at my clothes, then took out my phone and looked at my face, there was nothing on my face?But the eyes are quite tired. I can't indulge in stand-alone games after I go home today. I have to go to bed earlier.

He gave Ji Qing a blank look, anyway, this guy's brain circuit is very clear, he can't guess Ji Qing's thoughts for a while, so let him take sneak shots, anyway, I can't make money from my photos.

If taking pictures of himself can make money, Ye Kai gets up every day to post selfies for himself, before meals of the day.

But Ye Kai really saw a celebrity doing this. When he was free, he took a selfie with his mobile phone, and then he chose to pay to watch it. A photo cost ten yuan, and millions of people bought it in an instant.

If you don't consider the platform's commission, this operation has earned tens of millions of dollars, which is about the same as Ye Kai's one-year novel writing.

Fans earn so much money...

Thinking of this, Ye Kai quickly took a photo and put it in his fan group, and typed:
"Kelly invited me to eat the best mutton soup in Iceland according to him, and it's already here. SP: Look how much I love you, I sent you photos for such trivial things, and it's free, and I don't give it to me Three in a row? The fourth part of Harry Potter is coming out soon, have you bought the first three? "

"Catch Brother Kai in the front row!"

"Fans raising placard emoticons (Favorite Ye Kai, love love love love!)"

"Fans raising placard emoticons (Favorite Ye Kai, love love love love!)"

"I bought it, I bought it all, and I bought a hundred sets of benefits in the group. Brother Ye, did you eat something delicious today? Can you post a Weibo about what you are eating?"

"When will the fourth part come out? I've been waiting for a long time!"

……

When Ye Kai came to Geyser last time, there were many tourists. He just waited for a parking space on the highway for more than an hour. Today, he found a parking space directly. After getting off the car and walking for 2 minutes, Kelly announced loudly.

"right here!"

I thought it would be a restaurant specializing in mutton soup, but it turned out to be a fast food restaurant.

This shop may be the same as the hot dog shop on the pier. It is a well-known Internet celebrity spot. Even at this time, many tourists come here to spend... I feel that the better shops in Iceland are well-known abroad.

Really, can't you hide something for the locals?There is no such surprise.

Three bowls of mutton soup were served first. The color is different from the thick white mutton soup commonly seen in China. The color of Icelandic mutton soup is very similar to Hu spicy soup, but the similarity is only in color, the taste is different, and it is not sticky. .

The mutton was cut into cubes the size of sugar cubes, scooped up with a spoon, and red carrots were also cut into small cubes the size of sugar cubes. The fat was floating on the surface, very little, and it didn’t look very greasy.

In such a cold winter, drinking such a bowl of hot mutton soup, a feeling of happiness comes suddenly.

Continue to order chicken wings, French fries, burgers...

These are all fried junk food, but seeing such junk food really makes me want to eat when I am hungry, Ji Qing shouted: "Junk food makes me happy!"

Then he took a big bite of the burger.

It was already dark after eating.

Everyone definitely didn't go back directly. Ji Qing took the lead and wanted to take everyone to visit the geyser at night... This place is a super popular place for tourism in Iceland, and almost all tourists who come to Iceland will come here.

If a foreigner has come to Iceland once, but has not been to the geyser, it can only mean that this person is on a business trip and has no time to visit and take pictures here.

Although it's getting dark now, since it's only three o'clock, there are quite a few people around the geyser.

Ji Qing said: "Actually, the best time to watch is in the early morning of the extreme day. At that time, the sky is bright for 24 hours, but tourists generally choose to sleep at this time. If you are lucky, you will monopolize this magical scenery alone. .”

While speaking, the geyser suddenly made a violent noise, and small bubbles began to bubble from the spring's eye.

Soon there was a loud bang like an explosion, and a column of water rose into the sky...Ye Kai couldn't tell exactly how high the spring water gushed, but it was at least 40 meters above.

White smoke permeated everywhere, and the super-hot springs from the ground sprinkled on the ground, also steaming.

For a while, it became a legendary fairyland.

　I will take a day off tomorrow, I am so tired recently...
