I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 423, Exchange of Food (Please subscribe)
"Really? Have you ever heard of Rolls-Royce?"

Seeing Hunter Xinxi for many years, I couldn't help but want to poach people.

Although he is not wearing the vest of Michael now, he still wants to lure Bombatini to Hong Kong Island.

Of course the latter has heard of Rolls-Royce. After all, he is someone who deals with aerospace engines. How could he not know this?

Bombatini has been working at Lockheed Martin for eight years, but he has never had much vacation, and he finally got half a month off recently.

So I took my wife and children out for fun, and happened to encounter the scene of carrying food upstairs for many years.

Fragrant food is not uncommon.

But like the food that has been fried for many years today, not only does it have a rich aroma, but the food on the plate, the presentation, and the color make people very appetizing.

So Bombatini, at the request of his wife and daughter, followed him upstairs for many years.

"Okay, I understand. Since you like it so much, then you can wait next door and I will cook you a meal now."

"Okay, okay, I know you may not be short of money, but this is a little bit of our kindness, so please accept it."

The other party directly took out five hundred-dollar bills, which was really a lot of money.

But I didn’t ask for it for many years.

How can he be hired for five hundred dollars for his services?
After many years of going downstairs to the kitchen, Bombatini and the others followed him downstairs.

Even Qin Huairu and the others said they would go downstairs to have a look together.

As a result, the back kitchen was filled with people.

Seeing the exquisite cooking skills that have been displayed like acrobatic performances for many years, Bombatini and others were all dumbfounded.

"Wow, your dad is so awesome, so popular. How did you do that?"

Blanche screamed and jumped up and down in admiration.

Xiaodou Bao and the others proudly talked about their father's great achievements, which made Blanche admire her even more.

Soon, Duan Nian used the remaining ingredients to stir-fry three dishes.

Bombatini just had a taste of it, but he didn't even get enough of it. He didn't satisfy his craving at all.

"If you really like to eat, you can go to Hong Kong Island. There are a lot of delicious food there. I guarantee that after a month, you will have different dishes every day."

He said with a smile for many years:
"We have eight major cuisines, as well as Manchu and Han banquets, and tens of thousands of specialties from different places across the country."

"We have a saying in Chinese that "eating in Guangfu" and Hong Kong Island is very close to Guangfu, and there are many restaurants on Hong Kong Island founded by Cantonese people.

"Aren't you a materials engineer? You can definitely go to work at the Rolls-Royce Company on Hong Kong Island, at the newly established Rolls-Royce R&D Center near my home."

Hearing this for many years, Bombatini was very excited.

It's just that it's getting late now and it's time to rest.

So Bombatini proposed that we go out together tomorrow.

This proposal has naturally been approved by many years, and Qin Huairu and the others have no objections.

Children such as Blanche and Xiaodoubao were even more surprised, jumping and cheering.

Suddenly, there were three members of the Bombatini family in the traveling group.

Walter and others no longer followed, they had finished their trip to New York.

Throughout the day, I talked a lot with Bombatini.

The latter was shocked by the many years of erudition.

Because he actually understands many technical issues.

Although the two discussed only some academic technical issues, they did not involve patents or confidentiality technologies.

But even so, Bombatini was still surprised.

He is the one who specializes in this field, but I can actually talk to him about this knowledge without any hindrance for many years, which is really awesome.

After learning that he had been a writer and publishing house owner for many years, Bombatini became even more awe-struck.

At the same time, his daughter Blanche also admired him even more.

The group was next to the Hudson River. Bombatini glanced at the Statue of Liberty, then at his daughter, and then asked:
"Xu, is the life on Hong Kong Island really as perfect as you said?"

"I dare not say anything else, but the area where I live is really safe and there is really plenty of food."

"Okay, then I will go to Hong Kong Island to have a look later. If it is suitable, then I will apply for a job at Rolls-Royce."

"Then you can go there a little later. We won't return to Hong Kong Island for about half a month."

Bombatini knew that their family had planned a trip for many years, not only to spend about ten days on the East Coast, but also to visit Alaska.

Alaska in the summer is indeed a picturesque tourist destination.

It’s especially suitable for hunting. If it weren’t for the lack of holiday balance, Bombatini would also like to visit Alaska.

After staying in New York for three days, Xiaodoubao and the others still didn't want to leave.

Because there are so many places to visit in New York, and there are many universities nearby, they all want to visit.

Fortunately, the Metropolitan Museum was demolished many years in advance.

Otherwise, Xiaodoubao and the others would definitely go to the museum to have a look. Then they would ask why the Chinese antiques on display in the museum were placed in foreign museums.

For many years, I really didn’t know how to look into their eyes.

Although he could talk to his children about the humiliating history of the late Qing Dynasty calmly and encourage them to work hard.

But many things cannot be solved by education.

Just like the future Mr. Zhang Chunru, for decades, he wanted to let the world know about the massacre during the Anti-Japanese War.

However, some people were so crazy that they attacked him in any way. In the end, Mr. Zhang Chunru was so miserable that he had to commit suicide by swallowing a gun.

Even so, it is simply too much for those people to still visit a certain shrine as usual.

"It's timed out. Do you still want to stay here?"

It was already early August in a five-star hotel in Washington. The family had stayed on the East Coast for more than thirteen days in many years.

In five more days, the east and west coasts combined will exceed 30 days.

However, the little brats like Bai Tofu still don’t want to leave and want to continue playing.

In this area on the East Coast, the most popular places to visit are university campuses and parks, which is basically just wandering around.

As for Washington, there is actually not much to visit.

You can only look at the White House from a distance, but you can't go in to visit it. Moreover, it is just a house, and there is nothing interesting to see.

If this place hadn't been where Mr. Tong lived and worked, no one would have looked at it.

"Dad, can we play for two more days?"

The little brats used their coquettish skills again. In recent times, they relied on this, and then they succeeded.

"Not good!" Duan Nian shook his head and said:
"What time is it now? If you want to cancel your plan to travel to Alaska, then I can promise you that."

"Ah, no!"

Bai Doufu exclaimed, "Dad, we want to hunt. I heard there are a lot of game animals in Alaska. We want to go there."

The so-called heard is actually what Bombatini said before.

Bombatini highly recommended Alaska because he had heard it mentioned by his colleagues before and he went hunting there almost every year.

This time of summer is the rare cool season in Alaska.

There is hardly a better time to hunt than this season.

Some may say autumn, but autumn in Alaska is very short and fleeting.

It’s very possible that if you don’t pay attention, it’s autumn today and it will snow tomorrow.

In addition to the suitable season, there are also many wild animals and abundant natural resources in Alaska at this time.

Xiaodoubao and the others all knew about this, so naturally they would not give up on this trip.

But they are now fascinated by the attractions in Washington and don't want to end early.

In fact, the most important thing is that they want to play for a while and linger in each place so that they can see more attractions.

After many years of helplessness, he did not agree to their request and took them away from Washington.

There’s no need to act coquettishly, the itinerary is all set.

Putting things off again and again is a very bad habit.

The plane took off directly from Washington and flew directly to Alaska.

The aviation industry here in Bald Eagle is already very developed.

After all, their home continent did not encounter World War I or World War II. It has been developing in a relatively peaceful environment, so its economy is developing very fast.

There are many routes and many airlines.

Flying again on Pan Am reminded me of Frank for many years.

I wonder if this guy has returned to Somalia?
After landing in Alaska, the sky was getting dark, but it was already early morning, not six or seven o'clock in the afternoon or early morning.

"Dad, is it dawn outside?"

When Xiaodoubao and the others walked out of the airport, they saw a strange phenomenon in the sky and asked curiously.

"Do you still remember the phenomenon of polar day or night in the Arctic Circle that I told you?"

After saying this for many years, Xiaodou Bao and the others immediately understood.

When I was in Beijing, I had experienced the extremely long days in summer. Later, when I came to Hong Kong Island, the situation was shortened a lot.

The sunshine time between different latitudes will change as the earth rotates. This is geographical knowledge.

In life, there is actually a lot of geographical knowledge like this.

Only by going out can you have a deeper understanding.

In Alaska in August, there are more than twenty hours of daylight, which means there are only about three hours of darkness.

And as time goes by, the dark time will increase and the day time will shrink.

For example, in July, the daylight hours exceed 22 hours, and it is almost midnight.

The little kids were only curious about these strange geographical knowledge at the moment, and quickly forgot about it.

Alaska is a typical place with few people and beautiful scenery. The transportation is not very good, only okay.

After a day of rest in the city and getting over the jet lag.

The family drove three SUVs and a pickup truck and started traveling freely in Alaska.

Many years ago, Qin Huairu, Xiaomei, Lou Xiaoe and Xu Xiaoqian all knew how to drive, so the road here would be wider.

In addition, there are not many cars on the road, which is much less than in Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, driving here is so comfortable.

Playing music, opening the car windows, and speeding on the road is such a great feeling.

This time I went hunting. I had not gone to the well-known islands for many years, but chose to go deep into the hinterland of Alaska.

Hunting is not the most important thing, the main thing is to see the scenery.

Just like the vast dark brown hills in front of you, the completely isolated primitive style brings great visual enjoyment to people.

"Actually, when we go to the beach, we can also see many different island scenery. Well, it is completely different from the scenery we saw on Highway [-] and the Pacific Rim coast before."

From the driver's seat, he talked casually.

He was not very familiar with Alaska, and this was his first time in the hinterland of Alaska.

Therefore, he didn't know what scenery he could see.

Arriving next to the Kivalik Wilderness, I finally saw wild ducks and swans playing by the river after many years.

There are also two large tents, which are obviously Aboriginal or Alaska Native tents.

"You guys wait for me here, I'll go ask."

Two days have passed and I finally saw someone. I couldn't help but step forward.

However, he didn't know who the people in the tent were, so he didn't let Xiaodou Bao and the others follow him, but went forward to negotiate on his own.

About four kilometers away, it can only be said that the lake in the Kivarik Wasteland is really big.

When he was tens of meters away from the tent, he suddenly saw someone coming out, two young girls.

The arrival of this stranger for many years frightened the two girls.

Fortunately, he had not carried weapons for many years, so he quickly gained the trust of the two girls.

Before they could even have a simple conversation, another man and a woman came out of the tent.

After some conversation, it took many years to realize that this was an ordinary person living in Alaska.

Eric brings his family here every summer to hunt, mainly hunting birds such as wild ducks or swans.

Because during this time of summer, wild ducks and wild geese living in the wilderness, as well as male and female migratory birds, will give birth to their offspring nearby.

It is also the season when wild ducks and wild geese moult their feathers.

During the moulting season, their original long feathers will fall off and new ones will grow back. As a result, they will be unable to fly for a week.

At this time, groups of wild ducks and geese will gather together to protect each other.

And this is why Eric and his family came here to hunt, because they only need sticks to knock them out quickly.

After listening to it for many years, I asked if I could let him and his family join the hunting team?
Because in one more day, it will be time for the wild geese and ducks to moult.

Since I happened to encounter it, I don’t plan to miss it for many years.

"If you drove here in a car, you might not be able to do anything!"

Eric was very enthusiastic and agreed directly, saying that he could help.

The wasteland is very big here, and there are swamps nearby. If we continue to drive here, something will happen.

At this time, if there is a small speedboat or kayak, or if there is someone to help, you can get to the wilderness more quickly.

Regarding this, many years ago he said that he didn't need help and he could just move his luggage and other personal belongings over.

So, many years ago, I returned to the off-road vehicle and mentioned the matter to Qin Huairu and the others.

Naturally, everyone happily agreed.

Then, everyone got off the car together, carried their things and headed to this wasteland.

I heard that you can knock wild ducks and geese unconscious with a stick. It is definitely a very novel experience for Xiaodoubao and the others.

Eric's family has been staring at them for many years with dumbfounded eyes. Isn't this amazing?

After all, they have been strong for many years, so they think it is normal.

But little brats like Xiaodou Bao and the others actually walked four kilometers carrying dozens of kilograms of heavy objects without even breathing?

Pots and pans, tents, clothes and other things have all been moved here over the years.

Three SUVs and a pickup truck are enough to put a lot of stuff down.

With the arrival of many years of family, the entire Kivarik Wasteland has become particularly lively.

Setting up camp next to a lake in the wilderness, Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e began to heat a pot and prepare lunch.

For many years, he took his children, along with Eric and his two daughters, to patrol the lake.

Migratory birds such as wild ducks and wild geese are very plump and delicious in this season.

Once they moult, even though they cannot fly, they can run very fast.

For Eric and his family, they only had a short week to hunt.

Therefore, it is necessary to find out in advance where the wild ducks and geese are hiding so that they can hunt when the time comes.

During this period, Eric also taught for many years how to club ducks.

Youdao is the only martial art in the world that cannot be broken if it is fast.

There is also a saying that force can defeat all laws.

Therefore, when strength is insufficient, technique is particularly important.

When the power is great, the skills become ridiculous.

I have been very strong for many years, but I also studied the skills seriously. It was only after learning that I realized that it was just the same thing.

If you want to knock a wild duck unconscious, it's actually very simple. Just hit it on the head when it's not prepared.

Of course, it doesn't matter if it misses the head, it's the same thing even if it's a big duck.

So Eric said it, which is equivalent to not saying it.

After patrolling for a while, nothing was found, so a group of people returned directly.

When they returned to the camp, Eric's family looked at the tent that had been their family's tent for many years with some surprise.

Because the food cooked in a Chinese kitchen has a really strong aroma.

For this outing, I have prepared a lot of ingredients over the years.

Two of the off-road vehicles have a freezer installed in the trunk to store meat.

After all, in Alaska in summer, the temperature ranges from 26 degrees to [-] degrees, and the temperature difference between day and night is very, very large.

Since they can eat wild ducks and other foods in two days, Qin Huairu and the others started to prepare the meat directly.

Braised pork is relatively troublesome, but ordinary steamed sea bass, Kung Pao chicken and other dishes are still no problem.

Two gas bottles can provide enough fuel for cooking.

Eric's family, who had tasted Chinese food for the first time, were even more happy and enthusiastic about their arrival in many years.

Eric and the others also brought out their own food and wine, and the two groups had a lively dinner in the wilderness.

Turn around and the hunt can begin.

Although moulting time is tomorrow, some mallard ducks have already started moulting early, so there is no need to wait.

The entire wilderness is filled with swamps and lakes, so you need to be very careful when moving forward.

Except for Xu Paner, who was being carried by her fifth uncle, everyone else could move forward smoothly.Even the two little kids Jing Geer and Hot Wheels ran faster than Eric's two daughters.

Also, endurance is better.

To be honest, sometimes, Eric thought that his family had been the aborigines here for many years.

Walking in the wilderness was very slow, and Eric's dog kept running wildly in front, but it didn't scare any birds.

It was not until noon that I finally saw a lone wild duck.

Bang!
Xiaotuanzi and the others ran very fast, and the children aimed at the wild ducks and hit them with sticks.

The mallard was knocked unconscious by the impact, and then was lifted up by Bai Tofu.

Eric, who originally wanted to say a few words to teach Bai Doufu and the others how to hunt quickly, saw Bai Doufu happily holding the duck's neck and stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.

Are all the little brats from the ancient Eastern countries so powerful?
Or have they learned how to hunt before?
Not to mention, they do know how to make white tofu, or they are very good at it.

When they were in the capital, their grandpa raised a lot of chickens, ducks and geese at the stone temple.

Those big geese can bite, but children like Xiaodou Bao, who is good at martial arts and often practices boxing, will not spoil the big geese.

If the geese dared to bite anyone, they would just grab their necks and tie them in a knot.

If it didn't work, they just took the big goose to their grandpa and stewed the big goose.

Zhang Mingde, who dotes on his children very much, will definitely not refuse the offer of stewed goose.

Therefore, their experience in hunting wild ducks is not very high, but they are still very good at catching wild ducks.

"Dad, can we have roast duck for lunch today?"

Carrying the wild duck, Bai Doufu showed two rows of white teeth and asked with a smile.

"Okay, but just one wild duck will definitely not be enough."

"Then let's keep looking. It would be great if Wangcai was here too."

Xiaodoubao said something casually, and Xiaodian immediately said to his father:

"Dad, can we get another dog?"

At 72 Deep Water Bay, there are only three cats and no dogs.

Because after the little kids arrived in Hong Kong Island, they had many things to do every day, and they also went to play nearby on weekends.

Unlike when I was in the capital, I always stayed at home, and even during the winter and summer vacations, I didn't go traveling or anything like that.

The farthest place I have ever been is the Magic City, but I have only been there once.

Therefore, with so many activities on Hong Kong Island, children will naturally not think about getting a dog.

Now looking at Eric's dog, I want to continue raising dogs.

"Let's go back and talk."

After many years of talking, Eric asked about it and then said:
"We also have five puppies. If you like them, you can take them back and raise them."

Eric's dog is a traditional Alaskan dog, a large and large dog.

Living in Alaska is very suitable for this thing, but living on Hong Kong Island would be torture.

However, for many years, the air conditioner at home has been left on all year round, and the indoor temperature has always been maintained at around [-] or [-] degrees Celsius.

In addition, the home is extremely spacious, with enough space for the Alaskan dog to move around.

Therefore, it is not impossible to raise an Alaskan dog.

Let’s be more specific.

We also have to see if Eric’s puppies are beautiful and of good quality.

Otherwise, I will be willing to pay high prices to buy other dogs for many years.

When I was in Beijing, I didn't deliberately pursue dog breeds for many years.

But now he is in Hong Kong Island after all, and no one cares about him, so it is normal for him to pursue him a little bit.

Over the next hour or so, good luck came one after another.

I guess I hit the gathering place of wild ducks. Basically, you can see a lot of wild ducks and geese wandering in the water.

There were even hundreds of wild ducks gathered in the lake not far away.

They don't run, they just wander in the lake.

Eric wanted to hunt with a shotgun, but was prevented from doing so for many years.

"Don't worry, leave it to me, I guarantee that your harvest this summer will not be less."

I just took off my obstructive clothes and water shoes, took a beautiful entry into the water, and quickly disappeared on the lake.

"Come on, Dad!"

"Uncle Five, come on!"

Xiaodoubao and the other children shouted excitedly towards the lake.

The grassy swamp where they were standing was at least 100 meters away from the lake where wild ducks and other birds lived.

But a few minutes passed, but no one could see the surface of the water.

On the contrary, one by one the wild ducks suddenly disappeared.

Following the commotion of wild ducks and geese, Eric and others saw clearly that someone was moving under the water and directly dragged the wild ducks to the bottom of the lake.

They saw the last few geese running away in a hurry. Just when Eric and the others thought that these geese would escape, they quickly disappeared again.

"Does he have an iron lung? He has been deep diving in the water for more than ten minutes, right? Doesn't he need to breathe?"

Soon, hundreds of wild ducks and geese were caught, almost all of them for many years.

When he swam back to the shore, everyone cheered.

Then I saw hundreds of birds tied up with ropes behind me.

Each one weighs at least four or five pounds, which is definitely a very fat harvest.

Immediately, Eric decided to heat up the oil in a pot. Hey, he was setting up a bonfire and preparing to roast duck.

There are so many ducks, which are already worth half of Eric's family's harvest in previous years.

There are regulations for hunting here in Alaska, just enough to eat, but no excessive hunting.

Although this land is very rich in resources, excessive hunting cannot affect the ecological balance and lead to some unexpected situations.

Therefore, many local regulations have been introduced. For example, only wild goats that are more than eight years old can be hunted, and those that do not meet the standards cannot be hunted.

In addition, there are regulations on catch quantities for salmon, and over-fishing is not allowed.

It can be said that, except for winter, different seasons every year are the hunting seasons for Alaska Natives.

Even in winter, some people come out to hunt because they want to try something new.

After all, winter is extremely long, and it’s easy to get tired of just eating venison, salmon, wild duck, etc.

"It's delicious!"

On the moorland lawn next to the lake, a bonfire burned brightly.

It is relatively difficult to find firewood in this nearby area.

However, in addition to grass, the lawns on this side of the wasteland also have some bushes, water plants, etc., so as long as you are a little diligent, it is still very simple to find these fuels for cooking.

While making roast duck, hundreds of wild ducks were also briefly handled by Eric.

"Are we going to continue hunting this afternoon?"

"continue!"

Eric thought about it. He had harvested so many wild ducks on the first day. In the next few days, he could play as he pleased.

Not long after, after eating the delicious roast duck, everyone continued hunting.

Many wild ducks have escaped nearby, and we still need to look for them.

With dogs around, it is relatively easy to find birds such as wild ducks and geese.

The wasteland is huge and extremely vast.

Running wild and hunting in a place like this is definitely a very rare experience.

Xiaomei took a camera and took a lot of photos. She used four boxes of film alone.

Of course, if she wasn't strong enough, she would have wanted to carry the professional video equipment over to take pictures.

After all, such a wilderness is indeed beautiful.

In the afternoon, everyone hunted more than 40 geese. Today's hunting trip is over.

Eric's wife Agnes said that the harvest was more than half of their income in a summer in previous years.

"There is strength in numbers."

I have said this for many years, only to be refuted by Eric:

"My family and I have only hunted 27, and you have hunted the rest."

Nothing but one person has hunted more than 100 wild ducks and geese in many years, which is like a harvester.

After returning to the camp, it is necessary to speed up the processing of these wild ducks and geese, then dry them, smoke them, and take them away.

They also have their own fumigation and drying room, which looks small and exquisite, but has all the essentials.

Children like Xiaodoubao and the others have gained a lot of experience. Even Qin Huairu and I have not seen them for many years. Of course, it is an eye-opener.

"Can you give us some as a gift when we go back?"

Looking at the wild ducks and geese in the roasting room, Bai Tofu asked greedily.

Eric's daughter Carol agreed with great certainty, and even Agnes said it was no problem. This was originally the prey your father hunted.

"Sorry to make you laugh, she's not usually such a greedy person."

Said helplessly for many years.

Isn't this little guy giving him too much face?

As for being so greedy?
It’s just wild ducks and geese. It’s not like I haven’t eaten them before. Could it be that wild birds are more delicious?
Shit!

It’s just the atmosphere.

In the next few days, many years of family play in the wilderness, helping Eric's family complete this year's hunting mission.

We even prepared a lot of smoked wild ducks for their family, probably more than 60 of them.

"Dad, you can use it to send express delivery when the time comes, otherwise it will be a disaster if we can't get on the flight."

Looking at the wild ducks and geese in the trunk of the off-road vehicle, Xiao Tuanzi did not forget to give a warning.

Qin Huairu and others suddenly laughed, "I'm afraid you will finish all the bacon in a few days."

A group of people left the wasteland and followed Eric's car to his house.

At Eric's house, over the years they saw several puppies that each other mentioned.

They are very cute. Xiaodoubao and the others said that they want to take them all back to Hong Kong Island to raise them.

It has been banned for many years, so I can only bring two, not too many.

As a result, there were two more little guys among the companions.

Fortunately, there are enough cars and plenty of space, otherwise, we would definitely not be able to take these two little guys with us.

As we walked along the wilderness, the rest of the hunting trip turned into a trip.

Because no prey could be seen along the way.

Going straight down the river, we soon arrived at Maple Leaf Country.

"Wow, it's so beautiful here!"

It is already mid-August, and autumn has already entered early in the northern area of ​​Maple Leaf Country.

It is extremely close to the Arctic Circle, so August is already considered autumn.

In the early autumn season, there are many maples, birches, etc. nearby. I have known for many years that these should be primitive forest landforms.

There are towering giant trees on both sides of the road, at least three to forty meters high, which looks extremely extraordinary.

In such a picturesque place, Xiaomei couldn't help but take out the walkie-talkie and ask everyone to stop and take a video here.

"Should we stop? If this continues, it will already be September by the time we return to Hong Kong Island."

"Isn't it just time for school?"

Xiaodou Bao immediately replied, and then received a glare from her father.

Taking them out to play this summer vacation made their hearts completely wild.

Whether it was the West Coast or the East Coast, when they were having fun, it was normal, they were just going to see the attractions.

But when they were in the Kivarik Wasteland, they completely let themselves go.

It's a good thing now, I don't want to go back to Hong Kong Island anymore.

There is still about half a month left, and they still want to continue playing.

I didn’t want to spoil them anymore after so many years, so I said I would go home immediately after filming this scene.

The little kids didn't dare to say anything anymore because they found that their father seemed really angry.

After taking pictures of the scene, they moved on for many years, preparing to head to the main road and then to a nearby city to take a car or plane to Vancouver.

As a result, after walking for half a day, they came to a birch forest, where someone was cutting down trees nearby.

To be precise, repairing tree branches.

For many years they stopped to rest and interact briefly with nearby farmers.

It should be said that it is a food exchange. For many years, they have brought out Chinese delicacies and exchanged them with the farmers.

The farmers took out their treasured water and maple syrup, and said that this was definitely something they had not tasted for many years.

Birch sap and maple sugar are indeed specialties here in Maple Leaf Country, especially maple sugar, which may not be available in other countries and regions.

Both of these things are collected every spring. The sap from birch and maple trees must be collected before they grow new buds.

Although this is a long process, for the farmers, this is their daily life.

Both parties were very happy because everything they brought out was praised by each other.

For many years, birch sap and maple sugar have been something they have experienced for a long time.

Although they have never experienced such a collection process, the farmers also showed their collection tools and demonstrated collection methods.

Exchanges like this were not very common during their many years of travel.

After leaving the birch forest for many years, the group of them finally made their way home.

The plane takes off directly from Vancouver, transfers to Tokyo, and then flies directly to Hong Kong Island.

The whole process went very smoothly, and even the two Alaskan puppies were taken aboard first class.

In this day and age, airlines don’t have many restrictions, not to mention that first-class passengers can really do whatever they want.

After all, this is a country of capital, and having money is really great.

When I was in Tokyo, I sent telegrams to Hong Kong Island for many years.

So many years ago, when they came out of Kai Tak Airport, Lou Bancheng and others were already waiting in the parking lot.

Five cars were enough to take all 13 of them home.

On the way back to Deep Water Bay, Xiaodoubao and the others kept chattering.

There is no need for jet lag or rest at all, you are full of energy.

Let’s not talk about how much money we spent on this outing, but we definitely gained a lot when we returned from the trip.

Several large boxes of shooting equipment and film are definitely the children's favorite, and they are also the ones they want to sort out immediately.

There are also those bacon and roast ducks, souvenirs, etc. Some of them have been sent back a long time ago, and some are still on the way.

It will definitely take many years to get it back.

The next day after arriving home, the little kids urged their father to hurry up and develop the films.

Looking at a large box full of film, Qin Huairu began to count to see how much money he spent.

Film in this era was very expensive.

The price of black and white film ranges from two to three yuan to five or six yuan. For example, the price of special film for Seagull brand cameras is six yuan per roll, and one box of film can take thirty pictures.

For many years, the cameras they used on this trip were color cameras.

The price of color film is generally about twice that of black and white film. In other words, a box of color film costs more than ten yuan.

Of course, converted into U.S. dollars, that’s about nine dollars.

There are more than 200 boxes of film in a large box, which is an exaggeration.

Qin Huairu hadn't calculated how much money it would cost, but she had already been out with the film for many years.

There are relevant tools and materials for developing photos in the space, and he added a lot of materials when he was at Bald Eagle.

Even if it's not enough, you can still purchase it on Hong Kong Island.
