Big Islander 2

Chapter 98 First Voyage
When the tourists left Sting Island by ship, many people looked back frequently until the blurred outline of the small island disappeared between the sea and the sky.Although they are gone, people's thoughts will remain forever.

Marquez also left, and took five hundred octopus soldiers.Before leaving, he also sent a sincere invitation to Tang Jide, but the big brother was running around and wanted to stay at home for a while.After all, in December, they will go to Europe to receive the award in Stockholm.

Instead, Bald Wen went to Nauru with him, and the work of refining manganese nodules required his own planning.At the beginning of December, when the bald head returned to Sting Island, Tang Jide found that this guy had gained a lot of weight.

"Bald, you don't have diabetes, do you?" Pheasant greeted him cordially.

Tang Jide also kept shaking his head: "Is obesity also contagious—"

After a short rest, the group prepared for a trip to Europe.Naturally, the three winners must be present, and Xiao Xiami, as the most honored princess of Peach Blossom Island, is of course the spiritual leader of the prize-receiving group. In addition, there is also the old pair of big star and pheasant, who cannot be shaken off.This time, Tang Jide also invited Sha Gu, and as Sha Gu's followers, Fei Fei and his partner were also honored to be members of the prize-receiving group.

The orangutans who made their home on Sting Island also wanted to join in the fun, especially the brothers Lengtouqing, who held Tang Jide's arms from left to right, and refused to let go of their paws.It is said that after being smuggled back from Treasure Island, these guys lived on Sting Island.Because they have been raised by humans since childhood, they do not yet have the ability to survive independently.This point is far worse than that of the orangutan detachment.

In other words, these are two completely different directions of development: the members of the orangutan detachment are all wild, and they communicate with humans, more like making friends and exchanging needs. Even if all humans disappear from Peach Blossom Island, they can still survive. and these orangutans are more like human partners, they need to depend on human beings to live, and there is an essential difference between the two.

However, Xiao Xiami has also started to train the orangutans' ability to survive in the wild, and once took them to the tree island for training.The results were not satisfactory, two orangutans nearly starved to death, and most were scarred by the langur monkeys on the tree island.It seems that they still have a long way to go to return to nature.

This topic also aroused the great interest of old Curry. This expert in animal behavior also went to Shudao with Xiao Xiami to conduct a follow-up investigation. The old and the young were very devoted and harmonious.

"When will you become real members of the rainforest? I'll take you for a stroll!" Tang Jide didn't want to let the orangutans who had just become a little wild come into contact with human society too much, which would be very bad for their return. suitable.

The pheasant even satirized Qingtouleng and Lengtouqing unceremoniously: "Do you want to wear tuxedos and go to Stockholm to receive the award?"

Feeling ashamed, the Lengtouqing brothers drooped their thorns.But Xiao Xiami remembered something: "Uncle Datou, when you go to the stage to accept the award, you can't just wear a pair of underpants—"

The Nobel Prize Ceremony attracts global attention, and of course there are requirements for clothing, at least dresses or national costumes are required.Going shirtless to accept the award like Tang Jide might be kicked out as a beggar.

But there are exceptions to everything. For example, at the award ceremony in 1979, Sister Teresa wore the white dress and slippers she used to work in the slums, but her noble feelings made the men and women in suits and evening gowns present All overshadowed.At this moment, all the grace and luxury have become a wonderful irony.

The late Mother Teresa has also become one of the three most respected Nobel laureates in the past century.The other two are Albert Einstein and Martin Luther King.

After listening to Xiao Xiami's narration, Tang Jide also felt a strong shock in his heart.Even the pheasant did not make trouble anymore, but turned into a philosopher: "Clothes, shoes and hats will be scattered with the wind sooner or later, only the brilliance of thought will shine forever!"

So under the bright sunshine of Peach Blossom Island, a group of people boarded the plane at the newly built airport next to the pier.At the same time, this is also the maiden flight of Taohua Island Airport.From a distance, two silver-gray Boeing 737 airliners can be seen quietly looking at the sea in front, and a pink peach blossom is drawn on the tail.They will be the hub for Taohua Island to communicate with the outside world for a period of time to come.

The two passenger planes cost more than 1 million U.S. dollars, plus the maintenance of the planes and the expenses of the flight attendants and ground staff, it is simply raising two gold-eating monsters.Fortunately, they got a large amount of compensation from the little devil. In addition, the crude oil in the two tankers also flowed into the market smoothly, and a lot of money was returned. Otherwise, Peach Blossom Island would really not be able to support them.

As for the route, there is currently only one route: from Peach Blossom Island to Hong Kong Island, which takes about three hours and goes back and forth once a week.Because the Boeing 737 series is more suitable for short and medium distance flights.

"Everyone, welcome to take Taohua No. [-]." Standing under the hatch of the plane, Xu Feifei greeted the members of the prize-receiving group with a smile.The smile on her face is more beautiful than the huge peach blossom on the fuselage.

Since the establishment of the airport, Xu Feifei has become the head of the aviation department of Taohua Island, which can be said to be proud of her spring breeze.Of course, the second senior brother is the happiest. In the future, he won't have to face Xu Mengnv across the Pacific like Cowherd and Weaver Girl, and can get together once a week on Hong Kong Island.

Tang Jide heyed twice: "Second sister-in-law, if you go to this stop, even the plane will be overshadowed. But, there is no special service in our plane, right?"

Even the fierce girl Xu Feifei blushed a little now. She and Peach Blossom Island began to seduce Tang Datou on the plane.

"Big head, dare to take advantage of my old lady, believe it or not, I will blow the pillow wind to Tiantian, and tell you to sleep with the pillow every day!" A fierce girl is a fierce girl, and soon began to fight back, while Tang Jide could only retreat.

He looked up at the cabin door, and quickly changed the subject: "How do you get up so high?" Because there is no corridor bridge, there is no boarding gate. Speaking of it, the airport on Taohua Island is relatively simple.

"I'll go up first." At this time, the benefits of having wings are reflected. The pheasant flew up first, and even turned back and quacked twice, obviously showing off its first-footed arrival.

Dudu, Fatty slapped his little wings twice, and he jumped about an inch high. They also have wings, why is there such a big gap?

Oh-oh-Da Xing was also unambiguous, he climbed up along the tail of the plane, walked on the smooth body, and finally turned somersault into the cabin door, his skills were really good.

"I'll go up and have a look too—" Little Xiami also showed his magical powers, and flew up into the air, like a little angel flying in the air, and soon disappeared into the cabin.

Look at it like this, let the Eight Immortals cross the sea, each showing their magical powers.Tang Jide was no longer vague, and with a flick of the rattan whip, it rested on the cabin door, and then retracted automatically, hoisting him up.In mid-air, he stretched his arms and made a gesture of a white crane airing its wings.

"Big head, I can see your balls down here!" Xu Feifei's words made Tang Jide tighten his legs quickly, and climbed onto Taohua No. [-] with a shameful brow.

The rest of the people had no way to board the plane, but it was not a problem for Bald Man, only to hear him shout: "Move the ladder!"

A staff member pushed over a simple aluminum alloy bracket with steps and handrails on it, and everyone went up one by one.It's just that Feifei and his partner struggled a lot, and they were finally hung up by Tang Jide's rattan whip.

In addition to the prize-receiving group, there are also dozens of residents of Peach Blossom Island who want to go home to visit their relatives, so they went together.In the past, there was no access to planes, and travel was troublesome. Many people left the island for the first time after coming here.

Because there were no outsiders, the security check was basically cancelled. Seeing that the permanent residents made a lot of things in large and small bags, Tang Jide went to find out. They are all special products of Peach Blossom Island. Most of the products.One of the old men boarded the plane carrying half a bag of rice, saying that he was used to eating here and could no longer eat food from other places.

Seeing that he was carrying more than 30 catties of rice, he boarded the plane in one breath, neither blushing nor angry, Tang Jide also nodded secretly: Not bad, it seems that Peach Blossom Island is for raising people.

"Should these things be put in the luggage compartment?" After boarding the plane, Xu Feifei looked at the messy packages in the cabin, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Taohua No. 110 can carry about [-] people, so there are still many empty seats, so Tang Jide waved his hand: "I don't have so many rules-but if I always run like this in the future, I guess I will have to lose money every time I go, the plane fuel money It's too expensive—"

Xu Feifei sneered at his worries: "I heard that Taohua Island has launched an air service, and the air tickets have already been booked out. You, a shopkeeper, don't know how popular tourism in Taohua Island is now."

As tourists who have been to Peach Blossom Island promote each other, more and more people have come here by boat in the past two months.However, considering the number of receptions, Tang Jide limited the number of people to no more than 300 each time.Now that there is more convenient air transportation, I believe more people will join the ranks.

Tourism is a way for many countries to make money, especially some beautiful islands.The scenery of Peach Blossom Island is even better, and the harmony between humans and animals, and between humans and nature, makes tourists feel an unusual experience.According to Jia Nannan, the minister in charge of the Ministry of Tourism, in less than two months, Taohua Island's tourism income can reach more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and it has shown a good momentum of development.The development of the aviation industry will also greatly promote the development of the tourism industry.

"I want to fly first class!" The pheasant flew around the cabin, only to find that there were identical seats on both sides, and there was no difference at all.

Sitting in the spacious seat, Tang Jide nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, that's right, our Taohua Island planes don't specialize, we don't set up any first-class cabins, okay, why divide people into three, six, or nine classes. Pheasant, if you want to fly in first class, I have an idea, just tie you under the plane and enjoy the blue sky and white clouds by yourself, okay?"

The decadent thoughts of the privileged class of the pheasant were immediately cut off by Tang Datou, and it became a lot more honest. It fell on the back of the chair behind Tang Jide and asked: "Where is the big star, it seems that I didn't look at it when I got on the plane. ?”

Tang Jide slapped his thigh vigorously and jumped up: "This guy can't be itchy, he ran to fly the plane?"
