Lu Ao really couldn't figure out what was so close to the North Pole that could make them so happy.
The Morikaland Islands are the land of the Leskimans. The people of this nation are indeed warm, kind and generous, but they eat raw food.
The Leskimans have eaten raw food since ancient times, even now. If Old Dai and the others lived here, they might not even be able to eat a hot meal.
Full of suspicion, Lu Ao sailed the boat to the coordinates given by Lao Dai and the others.
In fact, they are very close to the coordinates given by Lao Dai, even if they don't advance at full speed, half a day is enough to reach Lao Dai and them.
That afternoon, they saw Lao Dai's fleet from afar.
Lu Ao held Xiaolong in his arms and said to Song Zhou: "Why don't you wait on the boat, and I'll go down to see what's going on?"
Song Zhou didn't agree, "Send your son back to the institution first, and I'll go down with you to have a look."
"That's okay." Lu Ao is now full of curiosity about the good things Lao Dai and the others said, so he wants to go down and have a look.
The little guy at the side understood it, and knew that the two fathers were going to send him away. He stared at his two round eyes and waved his paws in protest, "Yeah!"
His eyeballs were a beautiful lake green in daytime, Lu Ao's heart melted, he kissed his forehead and said, "We'll pick you up in a while, you play with Sister Ye Si first."
Xiaolong was not fooled by him, and protested angrily, "Ho—"
Lu Ao smiled: "Protesting is invalid, when will you change back to human form, and when will I take you out to play again. Be good."
As a little kid, Xiaolong had no right to speak at all, so he was sent back by his father in a few moments.
Lu Ao was waiting for Songzhou on the boat.
He didn't get off the boat, but Lao Dai and the others came to the door first.
Riding a kayak, Lao Dai and the fleet approached Lu Ao's boat, "I saw your boat parked here a long time ago, what are you talking about? You haven't come down yet."
Lu Ao stretched out his hand to pull them into the boat, "Song Zhou is going to the bathroom, wait for him."
Old Dai Wenyan poked his head on the deck, "I said why didn't I see him, he was in the toilet. It's been a good time, did you encounter anything special?"
"No, did something special happen to you?"
Old Dai waved his hand when he heard the words, "Don't mention it, we were also unlucky. Not long after we came out of De Leon Island, we encountered a lot of ice floes. We sailed mainly in temperate and tropical seas before. We encountered such ice floes. , everyone is inexperienced, and there is no icebreaker, even if you are careful, no one will hit the ice several times on average, and the ship will break down."
Lu Ao understood as soon as he heard it, "Are you still waiting for the ship to be repaired on the island?"
"Yeah, the boat hasn't been repaired, it's not safe, and we don't dare to continue sailing, so we just waited on the island." Lao Dai sighed, "It's also thanks to us that we found this island, otherwise we won't be here for a long time. Faron."
"I thought you guys met something good here and didn't want to go back."
"It's not a good thing to meet someone who repairs the ship? Although the repair of the ship is slower, it can be repaired anyway?" Lao Dai smiled, "But when it comes to good things, there are indeed a lot of good things here, just look at Do you have eyesight?"
Lu Ao asked back: "What good thing, pickled puffin?"
Pickled puffin is a special delicacy of the people here, and it is famous all over the world.
The conventional method is to put the puffins in the belly of the slaughtered seals, marinate them for more than half a year, and suck the juice inside after the puffins are rotten.
Lao Dai waved his hand and made a repelling gesture, "Go, go, how can we have such a heavy taste?"
"Then what have you been eating these days? Eat raw?"
"That's not the case. There is still a stove here, we made it ourselves." Lao Dai said, "Don't keep interrupting, do you still want to know what good things are here?"
Song Zhou just sent his son back out, and when he came out of the toilet, he heard the second half of his sentence, and he continued casually: "What a good thing, it can't be animal fur?"
Old Dai's eyes widened, "Hey, that's amazing, why did you think of that aspect when you thought about it?"
Lu Ao said: "What's so strange about this? The resources here are scarce, and everyone is not interested in their raw meat. The only thing that can attract the hearts of the outside world is fur."
The Leskimans live a relatively primitive life, hunting every year, and must leave a lot of fur.
"You guessed it right, it is indeed fur."
They parked the boat while talking, and Lu Ao and Song Zhou followed them into the kayak and walked to the island.
It is summer now, there is no ice and snow on the island, and the temperature is not bad. It is not too cold if you wear thick clothes.
Lao Dai took Lu Ao and the others to the house made of stone and fur. Before they got close, Xu Jian'an and the others came out.
This time the whole team was all men, and everyone didn't pay much attention to their appearance at this time, and their clothes were messed up.
Xu Jian'an had an unshaven beard, and when he saw Lu Ao, he smiled wearily, "Are you here?"
Lao Dai was a born optimist, joking and joking along the way, Lu Ao originally thought that their boat was not seriously hit.
Seeing Xu Jianan like this, Lu Ao asked, "Did the boat hit hard? How is the repair going?"
"It's not too serious, but it's more troublesome. Many parts have to be imported from outside. The ship repairer here said that it can be repaired in ten days and half a month. We have to wait."
Lu Ao comforted him: "It's been so long since I've been out, it's okay to wait a few more days."
"We think so too." Xu Jian'an sighed, "The journey went smoothly. We thought this trip would end perfectly, but we never thought that we would encounter such a thing on our return journey."
Lu Ao smiled, "What kind of travel is a trip without twists and turns? I guess I'll travel around the pole once in my life, so it's okay to spend a little more time."
"That's true."
A group of people were chatting, and some locals came to greet them.
The appearance of the local people is quite similar to that of the Huaxia people, they are all yellow-skinned and black-haired, and even their height and outline are similar.
If they hadn't met in a foreign country, they would be no different from their own countrymen, and they looked kind.
Lu Ao speaks Spanish well, and the other party speaks well, so there is no pressure on the communication between the two parties.
The locals let them eat together at night.
Before Lu Ao had time to agree, the locals continued, "We have a bonfire, and we can barbecue for you at night."
The locals have always eaten raw meat, and they have eaten raw meat since ancient times.
The environment here is too harsh to grow plants at all.
They must rely on raw meat for vitamins and minerals. When the meat is cooked, many vitamins are decomposed, which is harmful to them.
The barbecue is purely for the guests. It is not easy to find wood in this place, and they really bothered preparing the barbecue.
Lu Ao said: "Then I will trouble you."
The locals warmly said: "You're welcome, friends from afar are welcome."
After the locals finished speaking, they went to work, and Lu Ao and Song Zhou wandered around.
This side is still relatively primitive, with exposed stones everywhere, and outside is the blue sea.
The weather today is not very good, the sky is cloudy and the wind is strong, it is very cold to blow on people, and there is nothing to wander around, after only wandering around for a while, Lu Ao got tired of it.
Lu Ao squinted his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance, "It would be great if my son was here, he will be very happy."
"He's happy to do anything."
Lu Ao smiled, indeed.
The two had a conversation.
The Morikaland Islands are within the range of extreme daylight. Even at night, the sky is not dark, but it feels a bit cloudy.
The locals began to prepare for the bonfire.
The wood used for the fire is cedar, which is well greased and burns quickly.
The raging fire turned everyone's faces orange-red, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly. The light from the fire made everyone's eyes sparkle.
Everyone is very happy.
The locals brought out all kinds of food to entertain them. Lu Ao took a brief look, and the ones he recognized included seals, cod, snow foxes, snow rabbits, puffins, etc., and there were several others. He didn't recognize it, probably some kind of niche meat.
These foods are cut into portions and placed on the plate. The locals eat them raw, and their side needs to be grilled.
The two sides do not interfere with each other, and enjoy themselves.
In addition to meat, the locals also put several pots next to it, one of which contained pickled puffins.
Seeing that Lu Ao was curious, an uncle among the locals greeted him with a smile, "If you are interested, you can try it. It tastes very good. Maybe you can get used to it."
Lu Ao thanked Bumin, "Thank you, I still won't try it for the time being."
"You're welcome." The uncle smiled heartily, "If you don't like this, you can also try the seal oil next to it, soak the meat in it and eat it, the taste is very delicious."
Only then did Lu Ao know that the dark yellow and slightly cloudy substance next to it was seal oil.
He looked at the seal oil, and a snow-white seal like a glutinous rice ball appeared in his mind, and he waved his hand to decline.
Some people in the fleet have adapted well, dipping some seal oil before grilling meat, in their words, it will be extra smooth and fragrant.
Neither Lu Ao nor Songzhou can accept local specialties, but the barbecue is quite delicious.
These meats are all freshly hunted prey, even if nothing is added, just sprinkle some salt, the taste is very good.
Lu Ao really likes this barbecue.
The only thing that made Lu Ao a little depressed was that they all underestimated the degree of warming and nourishing these animal meats.
They lived in a stone house at night, covered with quilts, and Lu Ao felt hot and dry, so he poked Song Zhou with his hand.
Song Zhou didn't sleep either, his muscles were stiff, and he took advantage of the situation to grab his hand.
There was an open field outside, and there were only the two of them in the stone house, a young man and a young man, and the dry wood and fire naturally caught fire.
Recently, because of their son's affairs, they haven't tossed for a long time, and this toss continued until the middle of the night.
Lu Ao was so tired that he even missed breakfast.
Old Dai and the others came to inquire curiously, trying to wake people up.
Song Zhou told them that after sailing for so long, they were very tired and needed to take a good rest and sleep late.
Lao Dai and the others were skeptical, but they still accepted the statement and didn't bother him.
Lu Ao didn't get up until lunch time.
Everyone didn't pay much attention to lunch, so they ate around the fire.
I ate barbecue today, and the taste is also very good.
Lu Ao glanced at Lao Dai and them subtly, only to find that one and two of them had blisters at the corners of their mouths, which were obviously overdone.
Noticing Lu Ao's eyes, Lao Dai was puzzled, "What are you looking at me for?"
Lu Ao withdrew his gaze, "No, just take a look."
Old Dai said casually: "You youngsters are too sleepy. I wanted to wake you up in the morning to go to see Fumao with us, but Song Zhou stopped me."
"I've been floating on the sea for too long, and I'm a little tired." Lu Ao changed the subject lightly, "Do you want to buy fur?"
"Buy it, this is pure fur, much better than the ones bought in China. Look at their clothes, the fur is so thick, buy it back and ask someone to process it, it will definitely not be cold in winter!"
Lu Ao said: "The temperature in our place is only a few degrees, how can we use such thick fur clothes?"
"Be prepared, why not go out for a trip or something?" Lao Dai said, "Besides, I saw the fur. In the weather of tens of degrees below zero, it is enough to wear a fur coat outside. If Take it back to our place, and wear it like them, why do you need to be so bloated?"
Lu Ao asked: "Do they have a lot of fur here? What kind of fur are they?"
"A lot, you see they eat meat every day, and they can't run out of fur. I looked at it, and it seems that the most fur is snow rabbit fur or snow fox? There are also seals, anyway, let's buy it, the quality of their fur here Not bad, and the price is not expensive."
Lu Ao was a little moved.
Old Dai smiled and lowered his voice, "I've been out for so long, I have to bring some specialties for relatives and friends. I think it's good to bring some furs. It's face-saving and affordable, and the cost is not high. Don't you think so?"
Lu Ao nodded, "I'll go and have a look later."
The local people's fur stock is very rich, and they also built several stone houses specially for storing fur.
It's cold and dry here, and it's fine to store the fur there for decades after it's been tanned.
Lu Ao touched it, and all the leather was soft and dense, and it felt very good to the touch.
The aunt who took him and Songzhou to see the fur proudly said: "We throw away all the bad furs, and all the good ones are put here."
Lu Ao nodded, his fair face looked handsome and quiet.
The aunt looked at them, and the conversation became more and more intense, "The one you saw is made of animal skin, and I have fish skin clothes here. Every year, we make a few fish skin clothes for children here, which are strong and windproof."
Lu Ao's eyes lit up slightly, and he became interested, "Isn't the fish skin not warm enough, how can it be strong and windproof?"
"The outside is fish skin, and the inside is sewn with animal skin." The aunt said, "I still have it here. Let me find it for you, and you will know it when you look at it."
The aunt said she rummaged through the box to find fish skin clothes for them.
The local resources are relatively scarce. As long as the clothes are not worn out, they usually put away the old clothes and save them for the next child to wear.
The auntie quickly found a small suit and handed it to them, "Here, this is a fish skin suit. The outside is fish skin, and the inside is sewn with polar bear skin. It's light and warm. Feel it."
Lu Ao took a closer look and saw that this was a complete set of fish skin clothes. In addition to the jacket and pants, there were also hats and shoes.
He stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the suit was indeed as the aunt said, with fish skin on the outside and animal skin on the inside.
The fish skin was not as tough as he had imagined, it was soft to the touch, even a bit like cotton clothes.
The aunt said: "It is very troublesome for us to make a set of fish skin clothes. We have to pull out the fish scales and beat them repeatedly until they are soft, and then we can use them to make clothes."
The aunt looked at Lu Ao expectantly as she spoke.
This sentence is a bit complicated. The aunt's Spanish is not very good. Lu Ao reacted a little before he understood what she meant.
"How long does it take to make this set of fish skin clothes?"
"Look at the skin of the fish and the size of the clothes. Usually only mothers have the time to make them for their children." The aunt said, "This fish skin is not for sale, but if you want it, I can give you two pieces."
Lu Ao looked at the snow-white bear skin exposed outside the fish skin, which was fluffy.
He could almost imagine his son's red lips and white teeth, wearing a set of fluffy clothes after becoming a human.
Lu Ao asked: "If we pay, can we help make clothes?"
The aunt hesitated for a moment, then refused: "I'm afraid I don't have time for this, we usually do it by ourselves here."
Lu Ao felt a little regretful.
Seeing his disappointed expression, the aunt couldn't bear it, and said, "Who do you want to make clothes for? If it's not too big, I can help."
"For my son, just make clothes for a one-year-old child."
"A one-year-old is too young, how many days can it be worn? We all make clothes for three- and four-year-old children at the youngest, and we can wear them for a few more years." The aunt said, and suddenly remembered, "You want one-year-old clothes, we here There are finished products, new ones, but I don’t know if you’re interested or not?”
Lu Ao suddenly had a bad association, and his eyes became vigilant, "Why do you have new clothes for children about one year old here?"
The aunt waved her hand, "It's not any bad clothes. Lilia made it for her child before, but I don't know what happened. The child couldn't wear bear skin, and when he wore it, he got red bumps all over his body. The people outside said that he might be angry with the bear. I have skin allergies, so I can’t wear it for him, and it has been kept in the warehouse.”
This sentence is very complicated, it took Lu Ao some time to understand it.
If the source of the clothes is like this, it can be bought.
Seeing that they decided to buy it, the aunt went to help them as a lobbyist.
Lilia, the original owner of the clothes, thought it was going to rot in the closet, and felt it was a pity. When she heard that they wanted to buy it, she was overjoyed, and brought them the clothes quickly, and the fee was not expensive.
Lu Ao bought it neatly and looked at other clothes.
The local women were overjoyed to see that they paid the money readily, and went home one after another to show them the clothes.
Lu Ao let go to buy, and soon bought several boxes of furs and various clothes.
Among them, most furs and clothes were bought for Xiaolong.
The local people knew that he wanted to buy it for his son, and gave him a discounted price.
Of course, they didn't know how much of this discount was based on his and Song Zhou's looks.
Old Debi came earlier than them, and first said that he wanted to do business with the locals.
The local people are still a bit wary of Lao Dai and his gang, and despite their exhaustion, they don't buy too many leathers.
Lao Dai watched Lu Ao packed up and carried the box onto the boat, and enviously said: "You have a good-looking face, but you are different. You are welcome everywhere."
Lu Ao said: "That's not really counting, it's just the honor of my son."
Old Dai realized later, "Hey, no, when did you have a son?"
When he saw that the couple used their son as an excuse to buy clothes and leather these two days, he thought they were just making an excuse.
Lu Ao said: "It's already there."
"Could you take advantage of this trip to do a test tube?"
"will not."
Old Dai didn't quite believe it.
Lu Ao didn't care whether they believed it or not, and told them that it was a serious matter, "After our business is done, how long will the fleet stay here? If it takes a long time, we want to go back first."
"Yesterday we asked, and the ship repairer said it would take another ten or eight days."
Lu Ao said: "Should I take you back first and let them drive over from the back of the boat?"
After resting here for a few days, Lu Ao realized that most of the ships in the fleet were damaged, and now almost all ships cannot go to sea.
This is why everyone has been waiting here.
Old Dai said: "You guys go back first, we'd better wait for the ship to be repaired before leaving, otherwise we'll have to keep this in mind."
The boats that everyone drives out are all medium-sized fishing boats.
Medium-sized fishing boats are not cheap, and a boat can easily cost tens of millions. They don't feel at ease if they hand over the boat to others, and they would rather wait here.
Seeing this, Lu Ao was not polite to them, "Then let's go back first, and we will contact you later."
"Okay, isn't your ocean ranch opened? We'll go there to join in the fun."
"Okay, then I invite you to eat seafood from Ocean Ranch."
After Lu Ao told them, he prepared.
For the past two days, they had to go back to see their son at night. Even if they didn't see each other for half a day, Lu Ao would panic.
The son still needs to be in front of him to feel at ease.
It's a sunny day for them.
Lu Ao drove the boat away from the island, and when he turned his head and couldn't see the island behind him clearly, Lu Ao couldn't wait to push Song Zhou, telling him to hurry up and bring his son back.
Xiaolong was also very excited when he came back, just like a child who just came home from kindergarten, he stayed with Lu Ao in the cab when he came back, and refused to leave no matter what.
Lu Ao talked to him while sailing, "Dad bought you a lot of clothes and toys, why don't you go and have a look?"
Xiaolong breathed out at him angrily, "Huh——"
Lu Ao gently rubbed his head with one hand, "After you go to see it, I'm still here, and I can't run away."
Xiaolong still refused to move.
Lu Ao smiled at Song Zhou: "It's over, my son doesn't trust us anymore."
Song Zhou hugged Xiaolong in his arms, lowered his head and smiled and said, "How could it be? My son is just angry, and I will talk to you when he is over."
Xiaolong's green eyes widened, and he also breathed at Song Zhou, "Huh—"
Don't think that he is easy to be fooled when he is still young, the two of them will be angry together.
Xiaolong was angry for a long time, and it was not easy to coax.
After coaxing Lu Ao and Song Zhou for several days, Xiaolong regained his smile and was willing to actively interact with them. He could occasionally leave the adults' sight and play alone in the cabin.
Dragons are born to love the sea.
Lu Ao spends an hour or two every day taking the little dragon to splash about in the sea. There are everything in the sea, there are countless fish, crabs, shrimps and shellfish, and the products of each sea area are slightly different.
They explored the past one by one, which was very fun.
After confirming that Xiaolong can eat meat, Lu Ao will take him hunting.
The father and son sometimes ate sashimi directly. Xiaolong accepted raw food well. If he got hungry, he would wrap his tail around Lu Ao's hand, babbling and urging him to take him hunting.
Maybe because of eating meat, the little dragon looks different every day and grows fast.
Time passed day by day, and it took them two weeks to finally return to the high seas near Huaxia from high latitudes.
Lu Ao relaxed when he smelled the familiar smell.
Their boat picked up speed, and sometimes the two even switched gears, sailing day and night.
This morning, Lu Ao led Xiaolong just waking up, rubbing his eyes and walking out, wanting to feel the fresh sea breeze, but he didn't expect to feel something was wrong as soon as he stepped out of the deck.
Why are there so many white things in the sea?
The Morikaland Islands are the land of the Leskimans. The people of this nation are indeed warm, kind and generous, but they eat raw food.
The Leskimans have eaten raw food since ancient times, even now. If Old Dai and the others lived here, they might not even be able to eat a hot meal.
Full of suspicion, Lu Ao sailed the boat to the coordinates given by Lao Dai and the others.
In fact, they are very close to the coordinates given by Lao Dai, even if they don't advance at full speed, half a day is enough to reach Lao Dai and them.
That afternoon, they saw Lao Dai's fleet from afar.
Lu Ao held Xiaolong in his arms and said to Song Zhou: "Why don't you wait on the boat, and I'll go down to see what's going on?"
Song Zhou didn't agree, "Send your son back to the institution first, and I'll go down with you to have a look."
"That's okay." Lu Ao is now full of curiosity about the good things Lao Dai and the others said, so he wants to go down and have a look.
The little guy at the side understood it, and knew that the two fathers were going to send him away. He stared at his two round eyes and waved his paws in protest, "Yeah!"
His eyeballs were a beautiful lake green in daytime, Lu Ao's heart melted, he kissed his forehead and said, "We'll pick you up in a while, you play with Sister Ye Si first."
Xiaolong was not fooled by him, and protested angrily, "Ho—"
Lu Ao smiled: "Protesting is invalid, when will you change back to human form, and when will I take you out to play again. Be good."
As a little kid, Xiaolong had no right to speak at all, so he was sent back by his father in a few moments.
Lu Ao was waiting for Songzhou on the boat.
He didn't get off the boat, but Lao Dai and the others came to the door first.
Riding a kayak, Lao Dai and the fleet approached Lu Ao's boat, "I saw your boat parked here a long time ago, what are you talking about? You haven't come down yet."
Lu Ao stretched out his hand to pull them into the boat, "Song Zhou is going to the bathroom, wait for him."
Old Dai Wenyan poked his head on the deck, "I said why didn't I see him, he was in the toilet. It's been a good time, did you encounter anything special?"
"No, did something special happen to you?"
Old Dai waved his hand when he heard the words, "Don't mention it, we were also unlucky. Not long after we came out of De Leon Island, we encountered a lot of ice floes.

Lu Ao understood as soon as he heard it, "Are you still waiting for the ship to be repaired on the island?"
"Yeah, the boat hasn't been repaired, it's not safe, and we don't dare to continue sailing, so we just waited on the island." Lao Dai sighed, "It's also thanks to us that we found this island, otherwise we won't be here for a long time. Faron."
"I thought you guys met something good here and didn't want to go back."
"It's not a good thing to meet someone who repairs the ship? Although the repair of the ship is slower, it can be repaired anyway?" Lao Dai smiled, "But when it comes to good things, there are indeed a lot of good things here, just look at Do you have eyesight?"

Lu Ao squinted his eyes and looked at the sea in the distance, "It would be great if my son was here, he will be very happy."
"He's happy to do anything."
Lu Ao smiled, indeed.
The two had a conversation.
The Morikaland Islands are within the range of extreme daylight. Even at night, the sky is not dark, but it feels a bit cloudy.

Lu Ao thanked Bumin, "Thank you, I still won't try it for the time being."
"You're welcome." The uncle smiled heartily, "If you don't like this, you can also try the seal oil next to it, soak the meat in it and eat it, the taste is very delicious."
Only then did Lu Ao know that the dark yellow and slightly cloudy substance next to it was seal oil.
He looked at the seal oil, and a snow-white seal like a glutinous rice ball appeared in his mind, and he waved his hand to decline.
Some people in the fleet have adapted well, dipping some seal oil before grilling meat, in their words, it will be extra smooth and fragrant.
Neither Lu Ao nor Songzhou can accept local specialties, but the barbecue is quite delicious.
These meats are all freshly hunted prey, even if nothing is added, just sprinkle some salt, the taste is very good.
Lu Ao really likes this barbecue.
The only thing that made Lu Ao a little depressed was that they all underestimated the degree of warming and nourishing these animal meats.
They lived in a stone house at night, covered with quilts, and Lu Ao felt hot and dry, so he poked Song Zhou with his hand.
Song Zhou didn't sleep either, his muscles were stiff, and he took advantage of the situation to grab his hand.
There was an open field outside, and there were only the two of them in the stone house, a young man and a young man, and the dry wood and fire naturally caught fire.
Recently, because of their son's affairs, they haven't tossed for a long time, and this toss continued until the middle of the night.
Lu Ao was so tired that he even missed breakfast.
Old Dai and the others came to inquire curiously, trying to wake people up.
Song Zhou told them that after sailing for so long, they were very tired and needed to take a good rest and sleep late.
Lao Dai and the others were skeptical, but they still accepted the statement and didn't bother him.
Lu Ao didn't get up until lunch time.
Everyone didn't pay much attention to lunch, so they ate around the fire.
I ate barbecue today, and the taste is also very good.
Lu Ao glanced at Lao Dai and them subtly, only to find that one and two of them had blisters at the corners of their mouths, which were obviously overdone.
Noticing Lu Ao's eyes, Lao Dai was puzzled, "What are you looking at me for?"
Lu Ao withdrew his gaze, "No, just take a look."
Old Dai said casually: "You youngsters are too sleepy. I wanted to wake you up in the morning to go to see Fumao with us, but Song Zhou stopped me."
"I've been floating on the sea for too long, and I'm a little tired." Lu Ao changed the subject lightly, "Do you want to buy fur?"
"Buy it, this is pure fur, much better than the ones bought in China. Look at their clothes, the fur is so thick, buy it back and ask someone to process it, it will definitely not be cold in winter!"
Lu Ao said: "The temperature in our place is only a few degrees, how can we use such thick fur clothes?"
"Be prepared, why not go out for a trip or something?" Lao Dai said, "Besides, I saw the fur. In the weather of tens of degrees below zero, it is enough to wear a fur coat outside. If Take it back to our place, and wear it like them, why do you need to be so bloated?"
Lu Ao asked: "Do they have a lot of fur here? What kind of fur are they?"
"A lot, you see they eat meat every day, and they can't run out of fur. I looked at it, and it seems that the most fur is snow rabbit fur or snow fox? There are also seals, anyway, let's buy it, the quality of their fur here Not bad, and the price is not expensive."
Lu Ao was a little moved.
Old Dai smiled and lowered his voice, "I've been out for so long, I have to bring some specialties for relatives and friends. I think it's good to bring some furs. It's face-saving and affordable, and the cost is not high. Don't you think so?"
Lu Ao nodded, "I'll go and have a look later."
The local people's fur stock is very rich, and they also built several stone houses specially for storing fur.
It's cold and dry here, and it's fine to store the fur there for decades after it's been tanned.
Lu Ao touched it, and all the leather was soft and dense, and it felt very good to the touch.
The aunt who took him and Songzhou to see the fur proudly said: "We throw away all the bad furs, and all the good ones are put here."
Lu Ao nodded, his fair face looked handsome and quiet.
The aunt looked at them, and the conversation became more and more intense, "The one you saw is made of animal skin, and I have fish skin clothes here. Every year, we make a few fish skin clothes for children here, which are strong and windproof."
Lu Ao's eyes lit up slightly, and he became interested, "Isn't the fish skin not warm enough, how can it be strong and windproof?"
"The outside is fish skin, and the inside is sewn with animal skin." The aunt said, "I still have it here. Let me find it for you, and you will know it when you look at it."
The aunt said she rummaged through the box to find fish skin clothes for them.
The local resources are relatively scarce. As long as the clothes are not worn out, they usually put away the old clothes and save them for the next child to wear.
The auntie quickly found a small suit and handed it to them, "Here, this is a fish skin suit. The outside is fish skin, and the inside is sewn with polar bear skin. It's light and warm. Feel it."
Lu Ao took a closer look and saw that this was a complete set of fish skin clothes. In addition to the jacket and pants, there were also hats and shoes.
He stretched out his hand to touch it, and found that the suit was indeed as the aunt said, with fish skin on the outside and animal skin on the inside.
The fish skin was not as tough as he had imagined, it was soft to the touch, even a bit like cotton clothes.
The aunt said: "It is very troublesome for us to make a set of fish skin clothes. We have to pull out the fish scales and beat them repeatedly until they are soft, and then we can use them to make clothes."
The aunt looked at Lu Ao expectantly as she spoke.
This sentence is a bit complicated. The aunt's Spanish is not very good. Lu Ao reacted a little before he understood what she meant.
"How long does it take to make this set of fish skin clothes?"
"Look at the skin of the fish and the size of the clothes. Usually only mothers have the time to make them for their children." The aunt said, "This fish skin is not for sale, but if you want it, I can give you two pieces."
Lu Ao looked at the snow-white bear skin exposed outside the fish skin, which was fluffy.
He could almost imagine his son's red lips and white teeth, wearing a set of fluffy clothes after becoming a human.
Lu Ao asked: "If we pay, can we help make clothes?"
The aunt hesitated for a moment, then refused: "I'm afraid I don't have time for this, we usually do it by ourselves here."
Lu Ao felt a little regretful.
Seeing his disappointed expression, the aunt couldn't bear it, and said, "Who do you want to make clothes for? If it's not too big, I can help."
"For my son, just make clothes for a one-year-old child."
"A one-year-old is too young, how many days can it be worn? We all make clothes for three- and four-year-old children at the youngest, and we can wear them for a few more years." The aunt said, and suddenly remembered, "You want one-year-old clothes, we here There are finished products, new ones, but I don’t know if you’re interested or not?”
Lu Ao suddenly had a bad association, and his eyes became vigilant, "Why do you have new clothes for children about one year old here?"
The aunt waved her hand, "It's not any bad clothes. Lilia made it for her child before, but I don't know what happened. The child couldn't wear bear skin, and when he wore it, he got red bumps all over his body. The people outside said that he might be angry with the bear. I have skin allergies, so I can’t wear it for him, and it has been kept in the warehouse.”
This sentence is very complicated, it took Lu Ao some time to understand it.
If the source of the clothes is like this, it can be bought.
Seeing that they decided to buy it, the aunt went to help them as a lobbyist.
Lilia, the original owner of the clothes, thought it was going to rot in the closet, and felt it was a pity. When she heard that they wanted to buy it, she was overjoyed, and brought them the clothes quickly, and the fee was not expensive.
Lu Ao bought it neatly and looked at other clothes.
The local women were overjoyed to see that they paid the money readily, and went home one after another to show them the clothes.
Lu Ao let go to buy, and soon bought several boxes of furs and various clothes.
Among them, most furs and clothes were bought for Xiaolong.
The local people knew that he wanted to buy it for his son, and gave him a discounted price.
Of course, they didn't know how much of this discount was based on his and Song Zhou's looks.
Old Debi came earlier than them, and first said that he wanted to do business with the locals.
The local people are still a bit wary of Lao Dai and his gang, and despite their exhaustion, they don't buy too many leathers.
Lao Dai watched Lu Ao packed up and carried the box onto the boat, and enviously said: "You have a good-looking face, but you are different. You are welcome everywhere."
Lu Ao said: "That's not really counting, it's just the honor of my son."
Old Dai realized later, "Hey, no, when did you have a son?"
When he saw that the couple used their son as an excuse to buy clothes and leather these two days, he thought they were just making an excuse.
Lu Ao said: "It's already there."
"Could you take advantage of this trip to do a test tube?"
"will not."
Old Dai didn't quite believe it.
Lu Ao didn't care whether they believed it or not, and told them that it was a serious matter, "After our business is done, how long will the fleet stay here? If it takes a long time, we want to go back first."
"Yesterday we asked, and the ship repairer said it would take another ten or eight days."
Lu Ao said: "Should I take you back first and let them drive over from the back of the boat?"
After resting here for a few days, Lu Ao realized that most of the ships in the fleet were damaged, and now almost all ships cannot go to sea.
This is why everyone has been waiting here.
Old Dai said: "You guys go back first, we'd better wait for the ship to be repaired before leaving, otherwise we'll have to keep this in mind."
The boats that everyone drives out are all medium-sized fishing boats.
Medium-sized fishing boats are not cheap, and a boat can easily cost tens of millions. They don't feel at ease if they hand over the boat to others, and they would rather wait here.
Seeing this, Lu Ao was not polite to them, "Then let's go back first, and we will contact you later."
"Okay, isn't your ocean ranch opened? We'll go there to join in the fun."
"Okay, then I invite you to eat seafood from Ocean Ranch."
After Lu Ao told them, he prepared.
For the past two days, they had to go back to see their son at night. Even if they didn't see each other for half a day, Lu Ao would panic.
The son still needs to be in front of him to feel at ease.
It's a sunny day for them.
Lu Ao drove the boat away from the island, and when he turned his head and couldn't see the island behind him clearly, Lu Ao couldn't wait to push Song Zhou, telling him to hurry up and bring his son back.
Xiaolong was also very excited when he came back, just like a child who just came home from kindergarten, he stayed with Lu Ao in the cab when he came back, and refused to leave no matter what.
Lu Ao talked to him while sailing, "Dad bought you a lot of clothes and toys, why don't you go and have a look?"
Xiaolong breathed out at him angrily, "Huh——"
Lu Ao gently rubbed his head with one hand, "After you go to see it, I'm still here, and I can't run away."
Xiaolong still refused to move.
Lu Ao smiled at Song Zhou: "It's over, my son doesn't trust us anymore."
Song Zhou hugged Xiaolong in his arms, lowered his head and smiled and said, "How could it be? My son is just angry, and I will talk to you when he is over."
Xiaolong's green eyes widened, and he also breathed at Song Zhou, "Huh—"
Don't think that he is easy to be fooled when he is still young, the two of them will be angry together.
Xiaolong was angry for a long time, and it was not easy to coax.
After coaxing Lu Ao and Song Zhou for several days, Xiaolong regained his smile and was willing to actively interact with them. He could occasionally leave the adults' sight and play alone in the cabin.
Dragons are born to love the sea.
Lu Ao spends an hour or two every day taking the little dragon to splash about in the sea. There are everything in the sea, there are countless fish, crabs, shrimps and shellfish, and the products of each sea area are slightly different.
They explored the past one by one, which was very fun.
After confirming that Xiaolong can eat meat, Lu Ao will take him hunting.
The father and son sometimes ate sashimi directly. Xiaolong accepted raw food well. If he got hungry, he would wrap his tail around Lu Ao's hand, babbling and urging him to take him hunting.
Maybe because of eating meat, the little dragon looks different every day and grows fast.
Time passed day by day, and it took them two weeks to finally return to the high seas near Huaxia from high latitudes.
Lu Ao relaxed when he smelled the familiar smell.
Their boat picked up speed, and sometimes the two even switched gears, sailing day and night.
This morning, Lu Ao led Xiaolong just waking up, rubbing his eyes and walking out, wanting to feel the fresh sea breeze, but he didn't expect to feel something was wrong as soon as he stepped out of the deck.
Why are there so many white things in the sea?
