I was blown away by the longing for the live broadcast of the sea

Chapter 637 One of the Most Expensive Coffees in the World, St. Helena Coffee

After the yacht berthed at the port, the sea eagle flapped its wings and hovered over the isolated island.

Compared with the seagulls that hunt and live in the harbor, Great White is quite a bit bigger than them.

Due to the control of alien creatures on the island, Aoao, Yaya and Xiaojiujiu all temporarily stayed on the yacht. Anyway, these little guys are smart and smart, and it is not a problem to take care of themselves.

Prior to this, Yue'er had already contacted the owner of the local homestay house, an old lady who was nearly 60 years old.

After the yacht broke down in port, the other party called.

After Yue'er picked up the phone, she had a simple exchange with the other party.

Because this island belongs to England, English is also the official language of the local area. Even without a simultaneous interpreter, communication is not a big problem.

After hanging up the phone, Yue'er smiled and said to Lin Yang, "The homestay we need to stay in is not far from the port. Grandma George said she would pick us up by car and take us to drink local St. Helena coffee."

Lin Yang is naturally very satisfied with Yueer's overall logistical arrangements along the way.

At least with the help of this girl, basic necessities of life after arriving at the staged destination are not a problem.

Hearing what Yueer said, Lin Yang nodded and said, "Although I prefer to drink tea, it should be a good experience to taste St. Helena coffee, one of the most expensive coffees in the world."

Before this.

When Lin Yang and the others passed through Southeast Asia and entered Siberut Island, the audience in the live broadcast room learned the historical story of the famous "cat poop coffee".

Compared with cat poop coffee, which is famous for its expensive and exotic coffee, the St. Helena coffee mentioned by Lin Yang is relatively less popular.

At the same time, as the two of Lin Yang officially set foot on the land of St. Helena, the system sent another reminder feedback:

[Congratulations to the host!A-level rare creatures are found within a radius of 10 kilometers, and a total of A-level rare creatures x2 have been found in the current scan! 】

no doubt.

Lin Yang was somewhat surprised by the alert feedback from the system capability radar.

The reason is very simple. After all, the total area of ​​St. Helena is only so small. The previous reminder feedback from the system has scanned 26 kinds of A-level and B-level rare creatures.

From Lin Yang's point of view, in this small island, the scan results of the system should have already been reminded.

However, what he didn't expect was that after he and Yue'er set foot on St. Helena Island, the radar's ability gave new results again!
This undoubtedly adds a bit more mystery and curiosity to the next itinerary of this island.

Maybe it's because after the yacht was moored, Lin Yang and Yue'er landed on the island one after another. While the system was feeding back the newly discovered A-level rare creatures, it also gave reminders of the basic information of two A-level rare creatures.

In the prompt of the system, two kinds of A-level rare creatures were discovered by scanning one after another, one is an animal, and the other is a plant.

In terms of the results, although Lin Yang is still not sure what the origin of these two animals and plants is, relatively speaking, it is reasonable and unexpected.

Anyway.

It was once a species paradise praised by Darwin.

Objectively speaking, St. Helena's economic situation is relatively weak, so the infrastructure development and industrial equipment on the island are relatively few, which also fulfills the true original ecology of the island.

Surrounded by sea on all sides, islands floating on the Atlantic Ocean should have fresh air.

In addition to the "heart-shaped waterfall" at the bottom of James Canyon mentioned by Lin Yang and the sand sculpture netizens in the live broadcast room, there are also many species of animals and plants in the surrounding forests.

Among them, about 30-40 species of animals and plants are unique to St. Helena.

In addition to the more common gorse, poplar, willow, there are European scotch pine, and the unique subspecies of cabbage palm, cedar, eucalyptus, oak, etc. on the island.

And the St. Helena olive tree, which was once unique in the world, is just a pity that the last St. Helena olive tree has died, at least it is considered extinct at the moment.

In the live broadcast room, sand sculpture netizens are still very interested in the St. Helena coffee that Lin Yang mentioned earlier.

"To be fair, I've never heard of St. Helena coffee. It should be much cheaper than cat poop coffee."

"Actually, in my opinion, all coffee tastes the same, but I can drink tea from good to bad."

"I like drinking green tea, especially Mao Feng. I don't like coffee too much, hehehe."

"Isn't our Tieguanyin worthy of a name? I don't like green tea very much."

"Pu'er tea is the best in the world, no objections will be accepted!"

Yue'er glanced at the bullet screen message in the live broadcast room, and was speechless for a while.

These sand sculpture netizens can chat crookedly. Lin Yang just took a sip of coffee before, why did it suddenly turn into a tea war?
It is true that what kind of tea tastes good is different for the people of Longguo, and the degree of debate is completely more complicated than whether tofu nao should be eaten sweet or salty.

Not to mention black tea, oolong, Pu'er, and green tea, even green tea has Maofeng, Guapian, Longjing, and Queu.

If this is to compete for the first place in the live broadcast room, it is estimated that there will be no result after discussing for ten days and a half months.

Yue'er smiled and said to Lin Yang, "Grandma George may have to wait a while before picking us up at the pier."

She then added: "Then here comes the question. The reason why cat poop coffee is expensive is because of its special fermentation process. Why is the coffee in St. Helena more expensive?"

Done.

Yue'er muttered in a low voice: "Could it be that rare things are more expensive?"

In fact, from the perspective of the supply relationship, there is nothing wrong with what this girl said.

After all, St. Helena's one-third-acre land is only so big. Even if the entire island grows coffee beans, it may not produce a lot of output in a year.

Lin Yang said with a smile, "It all started with a cargo ship called 'Hughton' in 1732."

"The Hughton? Is it a freighter?"

Yueer asked curiously.

While speaking, she stood on tiptoe and looked into the distance.

"Grandma George said she would pick us up at the pier soon, why haven't we seen her car yet?"

Then she added: "The old man said that she was driving a black Ford car, please keep an eye on it for me."

Immediately afterwards, the girl pointed the camera in the live broadcast room at the road from the port to the town.

Maybe there are some omissions in the observation with my own eyes, but the audience in the live broadcast room will help find it together, and I will definitely not miss it.

After hearing Yue'er's inquiry.

Lin Yang nodded slightly and added: "Actually, there was no coffee crop in St. Helena before. In 1732, coffee was first planted on St. Helena. It was from Yemen with a ship called ' Hughton's freighter."

“While other plants introduced since the 19s have failed, coffee has taken hold here and is thriving.”

Hearing Lin Yang's words, the sand sculpture netizens in the live broadcast room discussed one after another:

"It seems that there is a reason why it is expensive. After all, other crops that came here from abroad have failed to grow."

"That is to say, other crops that have traveled across the ocean to St. Helena are all because of acclimatization to GG?"

"Then on this island, those vegetables that cannot be cultivated must be very expensive."

"Brother in front, I seem to have discovered the book of getting rich. (Manual dog head)"

Although there are indeed some fruits and vegetables that are very expensive on St. Helena Island, and some vegetables and fruits have never appeared on this island.

But the sand sculpture netizens are just joking. If a watermelon can be sold at a sky-high price here, then the cost of ocean transportation and customs declaration for freshness must also be sky-high.

In the current era of smooth globalization, there have long been no opportunities to make money by exploiting loopholes.

It is almost impossible to expect to make a small profit in the import and export of St. Helena's fruit.

Furthermore, even if all factors are excluded, the total permanent population on the island is only a few thousand, domestic demand is very limited, and there are no large business opportunities at all.

While waiting for Grandma George to come by car, Lin Yang and Yue'er had nothing to do anyway. Of course, they knew everything about the audience's questions in the live broadcast room.

Lin Yang continued without rushing: "The planting and growth of coffee trees here is completely dependent on natural conditions, and the absolute green and organic planting has been realized. The natural environment and the island conditions of warm heat and heavy rainfall make St. Helena an island of coffee. Fertile ground for beans."

“On the other hand, what makes St. Helena coffee so unique depends on several factors.”

"One: St. Helena is a volcanic island, and its plantations have different soil properties from the outside world."

"Two: Due to the relatively independent geographical location of the island, bees cannot achieve cross-pollination, which also retains the original flavor of the coffee on the island."

"Finally! The southeast trade winds affect the salt content in the air, and fertilizers such as seabird droppings also provide special nutrients for the growth of coffee trees."

no doubt.

Lin Yang's explanation made the sand sculpture netizens in the live broadcast room look confused, but at the same time they didn't understand it.

Yue'er squinted her eyes, as if little stars were about to appear.

She said with a smile: "I thought little brother Yang had great achievements in history and biology. I didn't expect that even St. Helena coffee, a relatively unpopular thing, would have such a thorough understanding, awesome!"

The girl grinned and gave Lin Yang a thumbs up.

What she said made the water friends call them experts!

"Let Sister Yueer finish filming all the flattery by herself, what shall we film?"

"Sister Yue'er really deserves to be a good flatterer, flattering us, leaving us with no horses to qaq."

"I didn't expect the anchor to know so much. No wonder the coffee here is more expensive. Although I have never drank it, I am not very interested."

"I still like to drink Coke, Pepsi is number one in the world!"

"Get a piece of cold knowledge every day. (Useless knowledge has increased again)."

Lin Yang shrugged and continued: "St. Helena has the relics of coffee trees planted with YD Company nearly 300 years ago, but the coffee gardens on this island were once abandoned, and enthusiastic people began to replant them in the 1990s, but it was short-lived. , the major producers went bankrupt, and even sending the coffee beans to Harrods in England for sale didn't help in the end."

This.
Yue'er was stunned, and the water friends in the live broadcast room were full of question marks.

After all the flattery that praised the anchor for his profound knowledge, why did it take a sudden turn for the worse?

This reversal is too fast, right?

"That is to say, the promised fertile soil for coffee beans doesn't exist at all? Are the coffee gardens abandoned?" Yue'er asked with a confused face.

While talking, she stepped on her toes and glanced into the distance. Grandma George's car hadn't arrived yet.

Thinking about it, the old lady was not in a hurry, but after thinking about it, their yacht's trip to the port of Jamestown on St. Helena was actually not in a hurry.

The sun on the island in the afternoon is very comfortable for people, and occasionally there will be a gust of sea breeze, which is even more refreshing.

of course.

Lin Yang obviously hasn't finished his story about why St. Helena coffee is expensive.

He went on to say: "Later, a listed company called SC took over the coffee gardens in St. Helena in 2009 and tried to breathe new life into the coffee here."

"However, these organic beans are still in short supply. The company's annual output of coffee beans is 1-1.5 tons, which is a drop in the bucket compared to the global output of about 2014 million metric tons in 850."

"Under the premise of not being able to increase the production of coffee beans, rare things are more expensive, which has obviously become a treasure for getting rich. After St. Helena coffee raised its value, its sales and profits are actually better than before."

He rambled on for a long time.

Lin Yang shrugged and concluded: "In the final analysis, there are too few coffee beans produced on this island. Some objective reasons that distinguish ordinary coffee beans have gradually increased their worth. If I had to choose, I would choose to drink cold coffee for nothing!"

Puchi!

Lin Yang's words made Yue'er beside her almost stop laughing.

Drop drop! !

Just as Lin Yang and Yue'er were chatting with the water friends in the live broadcast room, the sound of a car's horn came from not far away.

A black Ford car was slowly driving towards the two of them. It seemed that Grandma George was late.

"Hello! Young people from Dragon Country, I'm very glad to receive you. I hope you can have a good time in St. Helena."

Granny George, wearing a sun hat, stepped out of the older little Ford.

She is about 60, full of energy, and very kind when she speaks.

Unavoidably, the water friends in the live broadcast room once again thought of Lin Yang and Yue Er, Grandma Nick whom they met when they left Nanibia not long ago.

The only difference is that it may be because the residents of the island are not very interested in the outside world, or Grandma George is too old to like surfing the Internet.

Before that, she didn't know that Lin Yang was an anchor. The only information she could learn was that they were travelers from the ancient eastern country.

Perhaps there are not many stories to tell in this relatively lonely and isolated island, but the old lady very much hopes that these two young people from afar can tell about their experiences of sea travel.

This was the only condition that the old lady put forward when Yue'er was looking for a place to stay in St. Helena.

Therefore, Lin Yang and Yue Er's accommodation in St. Helena is free of charge.

Of course, even the audience in the live broadcast room knew very well that Lin Yang and Sister Yue'er were not lovers of taking advantage. Even if they only stayed here temporarily, they would definitely give Grandma George what she deserved after they left.

Yue'er waved her hand at Grandma George, and she smiled brightly: "Grandma George, you look more energetic than you imagined. It's a pleasure to meet you. This is my companion Lin Yang."

Perhaps it is because this island belongs to the colony of England, and the residents on the island also speak an authentic English accent.

Compared with the minority languages ​​of Southeast Asian islands, communication is not a problem on St. Helena, where the official language is English.

Simultaneous interpreters can also ensure that in the live broadcast room, water friends who are not fluent in English can watch the live content without barriers.

"Hello Grandma George, I hope our arrival will not cause you any trouble."

Lin Yang greeted Grandma George very politely.

Even the audience could see that Grandma George, who was dealing with Lin Yangyue'er for the first time, was obviously very surprised by this pair of young people from Longguo.

Their politeness and literacy are obviously evident from the details, and they have seen the world.

Later, Lin Yang and Yue'er took Grandma George's car and returned to her residence in the port town of Jamestown.

The old lady obviously cares about credit very much.

Although he just casually mentioned to Yue Er before, saying that he would invite her and Lin Yang to taste St. Helena coffee, the coffee was served on the table for dinner that night.

As Lin Yang said before, neither he nor Yue'er actually have a strong ability to appreciate these foreigners' stuff.

Therefore, the audience did not mention the St. Helena coffee incident.

"By the way, does the anchor have any itinerary for tomorrow? Do you want to show us around this small island?"

"Didn't Sister Yueer say before that Darwin once found colorful butterflies and giant sea turtles here? I wonder if the anchor can find it!"

"Aren't some fishermen witnessed a giant sea monster in the waters not far from St. Helena before? Why didn't there be any movement after that?"

"If sea monsters really exist in the Atlantic Ocean, there is a high probability that the anchor will encounter them during the voyage. I believe in the luck of the anchor."

Regarding the doubts of the water friends, Lin Yang replied with a smile:
"Have a good rest tonight, tomorrow we will go to the heart-shaped waterfall, and take a look at the beach and coast here."

After Lin Yang and Yue Er bid farewell to the water friends one after another.

As always, Lin Yang closed the live broadcast room abruptly, without even having time for the water friends to react.

Although this is what he said, Lin Yang's intention was to rely on the location information provided by the system's radar to find a rare A-level creature that was closer to Grandma George's residence.

According to the reminder feedback from the system, there is only one information about animals.

As for another kind of plant-type A-level rare creature, he plans to go a little further.
From the bottom of his heart, Lin Yang is far more curious about animals than plants.

Silent all night.

In the early morning of the next day, St. Helena, an island with a tropical climate, except for the rainy season, has mostly sunny weather all year round.

Maybe it was because they were afraid of missing the opportunity to enjoy this isolated island in the Atlantic Ocean. After Lin Yang started broadcasting, many water friends flooded into the live broadcast room in an instant!

When Lin Yang took out the small abaca woven camera helmet he bought from Sangyihe Island, the water friends could probably guess that the sea eagle Dabai would be a guest photographer of the sky again.

Yue'er smiled and said to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Considering that part of the coast of St. Helena Island has a no-flying regulation for drones, we can only let Dabai do it for us and overlook the coastline of this island. "

At the moment, according to the feedback from Lin Yang's system capability radar on the location of the A-level rare biological target, the target is only two kilometers away from their current location.

Judging from the system map, it is roughly on the coastline in the northwest of the island.

However, when Dabai officially took off

An astonishing scene appeared in the picture returned from the bird's-eye view of the sea eagle!
Even the well-informed Hai Diao Dabai, who followed Lin Yang, was obviously not calm.
Because, on the coast not far away, a group of dark, huge creatures actually appeared!
next second.

The capability of the system comes from the generated system feedback:

[Congratulations to the host!The world's largest 'Pinniped' creature was discovered, the information is: Chordate, Mammalia, Eutheria, Carnivora, Pinniped, name: Elephant Seal! 】

Elephant seals are the king of beasts among pinnipeds!
Male elephant seals have a retractable proboscis, about 30 centimeters long, and an astonishing 6 meters in length!
Its huge body allows the weight to exceed 3 tons.

The female elephant seal is about three meters long, almost twice the body length of the champion seal, the 'Caldida seal', and weighs almost ten times that of the Cubic seal!
Therefore, it is worthy of the name to be called the 'king of beasts' among pinnipeds.

However, the title of king of beasts like seals is only limited to the category of 'pinniped' animals.

In fact, the elephant seal is a slow-moving, unresponsive animal.

Even if people gently walk to them, the elephant seals will be unconscious and continue to sleep.
Just like being the only one on the beach, take it calmly and have nothing to worry about.

But in the footage of the live broadcast room, when a huge elephant seal appeared, Yue Er's surprised mouth opened into an O shape.

"My God! What did Dabai find? It seems to be a particularly large sea lion? Seal? Walrus? Fur seal?"

Actually.

Just like Yue'er's immediate reaction, many water friends can't tell the difference between these kinds of creatures.

Even when Lin Yang met the 'Northern Sea Lion' before, he had popularized relevant knowledge.
At this time, the water friends in the live broadcast room exploded in an instant!

"Damn it! Are the living conditions in St. Helena so good? Can seals grow so big?"

"Hey! This thing is too fat! I would call them 'elephants' among seals!"

"Brother in front, I really misled you. I majored in marine biology. I took the picture from a bird's-eye view. It is indeed an 'elephant seal'. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an elephant among seals. "

"From Dabai's perspective, I can also feel that Brother Diao was also stunned by this chubby elephant seal qaq!"

After all, Lin Yang and Yue'er's position at the moment.

It is only two kilometers away from the coastline where elephant seals were found.

Therefore, after Dabai spotted the target creature from a bird's-eye view, the two walked towards the coastline in a tacit understanding.

In terms of visual impact, huge animals, plants and even objects will have a great visual impact on the viewers!

At the moment, the huge elephant seal that appeared in the live broadcast room is naturally the same!
