Chapter 283 Proud Local Uncle!
"It's okay. Are you going to eat hot pot live?" Zhang Feng asked.

Naturally, it was warmly catered to by the audience in the live broadcast room, and a cheerful hot pot meal made the audience who were still watching the live broadcast in the middle of the night drooling and imagining how Zhang Feng would sleep after the car was full of the smell of hot pot.

……

The place where Zhang Feng sleeps is beautiful, and there are seagulls.

When I got up in the morning and was having breakfast in the car, I suddenly saw an uncle from Norway running towards Zhang Feng’s car. Zhang Feng was wondering if he had made a mistake, but the uncle said: Seeing Zhang Feng parked here last night, it must be Sleeping in the car is very hard, so Zhang Feng is invited to their house to wash his face and have a cup of coffee!Wow, this is so touching!It turned out that the uncle lived on the hillside next to the road, and he could just see Zhang Feng's car parked by the river.

Although he didn't disturb others in the end, Zhang Feng still deeply appreciates the Norwegians for their warm help.

Zhang Feng continued his itinerary, and was ridiculed by the audience in the live broadcast room in the morning for not turning off the live broadcast last night when he slept, and left.

"Do I believe it?"

[If you don’t believe it, forget it, we can post pictures anyway! 】

【Haha, makes sense! 】

……

This time the destination is the Lofoten Islands, which is a long and narrow archipelago with only one E10 road, so it is basically impossible to get lost.On the left is the mountain, on the right is the sea.The iconic red houses are scattered in the sea, like blooming flowers, so Zhang Feng named this destination --- "Sea Flower Journey".

The Lofoten Islands are located in northern Norway, all within the Arctic Circle (above 66°34'N latitude).

The spectacular Lofoten Islands were carved by ancient glaciers. "Lofoten" means "Lynx's foot" in Norwegian. The reason for this name is that the Vestfjorden fjord separates it from the Norwegian mainland (so it is called an archipelago, not a peninsula). Left alone on the vast sea.Even so, from a distance, the archipelago remains like a seemingly invisible chain, connected forever.A series of precipitous islands rises adjacent to the altitude like a "Wall of Lofoten" and like an outstretched cat's foot ("Lofoten" means "lynx's foot" in Norwegian).

Travel to the Lofoten Islands can be by sea or plane.

Along the way, Zhang Feng also encountered a football training ground.

Perhaps it has inherited the predatory genes of the Vikings, coupled with the fact that they are tall and burly, Norwegian football is good at playing high and high, and is a representative of the European power style.

In recent decades, Denmark and Sweden have been representatives of Nordic football.Norwegian football has always been in the shadow of these two teams and is not well known.However, after entering the 90s of the last century, Norwegian football has accumulated a lot. Norway not only entered the World Cup finals twice in 1994 and 1998, but also defeated the world champion Brazil twice, becoming a veritable "giant killer".

Entering the urban area of ​​the city here, there were few people on the street, and the melodious bell of a church caught Zhang Feng's attention.

"I haven't had any faith for a long time. Why don't you go in and take a look? But you can't live broadcast..."

[Don't go! 】

[That's right, brother Xinchun is fine! 】

……

"Okay, not going!"

After escaping from the church, Zhang Feng rushed to the ferry terminal to have lunch because he planned to take a short stroll at sea.At the pier, Zhang Feng met several girls.Strange attire: wearing a scarf on top, but only shorts on the lower body (this place is already in the Arctic Circle, the temperature is about 6 degrees), everyone is carrying a huge backpack, as well as tents, cooking utensils and musical instruments.They formed a circle and sat on the ground, as if they were in a meeting or praying.

For Zhang Feng, just one sentence, it is not clear!
[Anchor, what are you doing? 】

[That is, what are you doing at the pier? 】

……

"Go shopping, go shopping on other islands!"

The first town Zhang Feng visited was a small town called Moskenes. The town is located in the south of the island, and its subordinate villages include Aocun (? Village), Hamn?y, Moskenes, Reine, Sakris?y, S?rv?gen and Tind, all villages located on the east side of the island.The West Coast was once inhabited, but due to storms, the last settlement was abandoned in the 1950s.

Zhang Feng planned to stay in Aocun today. As soon as he entered Aocun, there was a strong smell of fish.

"It's so fishy!" Zhang Feng sighed.

[The fishing village has arrived? 】

"Yes, the fishing village is here!" Zhang Feng affirmed.

[The houses here are really colorful and colorful, it’s so joyful to look at! 】

[It's much better than our county's unified planning and unified color! 】

……

"I'm going to find a place to live, and then I'll find a local to talk about here. I'll trouble a good English translator later." Zhang Feng said.

……

After walking and stopping, I found a homestay, which was actually a small wooden house.In the Lofoten Islands, there are no high-end hotels, only these small wooden huts for fishermen.Every year from February to March is the fishing season for cod, and a large number of fishermen will come here.As more and more tourists come here for vacation, many log cabins have been transformed into holiday cottages.

After completing the check-in procedure, Zhang Feng found a small cafe. Europeans generally love drinking coffee. Zhang Feng took the coffee and found a middle-aged uncle with a kind face and asked if he could chat. The uncle also seemed lonely and he was happy to agree. Zhang Feng's request was met.

"...Ao Town used to be a traditional fishing village, and the villagers made a living by catching cod. But now, the village has also started to use tourism as a new economic development point. There are two museums in Ao Town, namely Luo Foden Cod Museum and Norwegian Fishing Village Museum."

But when Zhang Feng went to see the Cod Museum, he found that it was no longer open.

"From January to April every year, at that time, tens of millions of cod are like rows of rugby, swinging their chubby bodies, flocking to the North Atlantic Ocean, haha... These cod are here from the Barents Sea in the east. , the scene is as spectacular as the great animal migration in the Serengeti grasslands in East Africa. And our sparsely populated Lofoten Islands have become a holy place in the hearts of sea fishing experts all over the world." The uncle said with pride on his face.

Zhang Feng also checked afterwards and learned a lot about cod.

"There are so many cod, so the dried cod processing industry has naturally become the traditional pillar industry on the island. Every year in February and March, the fishermen start to dry the fish in the sun, and after three months, the dried fish is finished, and the dried fish is collected and packaged for export. One piece After the fish is purchased, the fish heads are first removed, and then an inspector classifies the fish. After a look and a second smell, they are thrown into different large plastic buckets according to the quality of the fish, and then a worker sorts them into different categories. Neatly, and then enter the next process, which is to weigh and pack the dried fish."

"Norway produces 1200-1500 tons of dried fish every year, of which the Moskenes region alone accounts for more than 500 tons. These dried fish are mainly exported to the United States, Italy and Nigeria, and most of the fish heads are exported to Nigeria."

"Don't underestimate dried fish. It plays an important role in the history of Norway. In the 13th and 14th centuries, 80% of Norway's main fiscal revenue came from dried fish." The uncle continued.

At this point, the coffee in the uncle's cup was gone. Zhang Feng hurriedly asked the uncle what he wanted to drink. He treated him.

The uncle said he liked the original flavor, so Zhang Feng hurriedly went to the bar to bring him a drink and continued to listen to the uncle talk.
