Chapter 679: The Festival Begins
There is actually no exact time for the Sea God Festival. For example, last year, the Sea God Festival was held in early summer, and this year it is in early spring. ☆→
This also has meaning, because when to hold it, the things you ask for are also different.
It was held in summer last year, and what I asked for was just for peace. Because Winthrop had no fish and no need to go out to sea at the beginning, it was just summer, asking for peace and no storm or something.
But this year is different. There are tourists this year. Even if there are fewer fish in the sea, they still have to take tourists out for fun.
Is this a revenue generation? So since the Chinese New Year, the town has decided that the Sea God Festival will be held in March, just in time for the start of fishing. Early that morning, all the idle residents in the town gathered in the town.
With the order of Mayor Wallis in the town square, the sea god sacrifice began, and Jiang Hai cooperated to lift the huge fish tank up.
In an instant, everyone started to scream, and I have to admit that it was really impressive.
Then the people in charge of music in front opened the way, and the large army set out, and a group of people walked towards the beach in a mighty manner.
The most dazzling among the crowd was Jiang Hai, who was holding the fish tank. He had to admit that this was an honor.
But in fact, it is also a very tiring job. This fishing tank is not small. It can hold about ten kilograms of water. The weight of the tank is about twenty-five kilograms. Although it doesn't seem to be much, it is impossible to hold it all the way to the beach, saying it is not tired.
Is there anything light in the distance? When Mayor Wallis holds this thing, he can change his posture or something. This is also a discount for the old man.
However, Jiang Hai, a young and strong man, was not very embarrassed to change his posture or something, so he kept holding on.
It’s different from when I was yesterday’s scheduled schedule. Today there are a lot of people, so I naturally walk very slowly. Fortunately, there are no other programs.
After walking for more than two hours, Jiang Hai and the others walked from the town to the beach. Along the way, they not only attracted a large number of town residents, but also many tourists, and were also very interested in the parade and followed the team while filming videos.
They were also very interested in the Atlantic Blue Dragon that Jiang Hai was holding, but unfortunately, the people in the town did not let them get too close. Although most of the tourists were ordinary people and kind-hearted people, they couldn't resist those who like to make trouble and bad things.
If there is any damage to the Blue Dragon and the fish tank, it will be meaningless for you to drive him out, so the best way is to prevent tourists from approaching.
Just let them look at it from afar, but this also made these tourists feel very curious, and there were more and more people along the way.
Fortunately, Jiang Hai's hard days ended. After walking for more than two hours, he finally came to the beach. After Mayor Wallis finished reciting the prayer words, Jiang Hai also put the fish tank into the sea. Seeing the blue dragon in the fish tank swim into the sea. After completely disappearing, he also raised the empty fish tank, and the townsmen then shouted loudly, which means that the sea god received their gift.
At this time, the Sea God Festival was officially over. After Jiang Hai handed over the fish tank to the people in the town, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then walked to a tent next to him for a rest. This tent was specially prepared for him yesterday.
It was to prevent him from having no rest when he was tired. He used to be the Mayor of Wallis, but now he belongs to Jiang Hai.
The tent itself is quite large. Not to mention sitting or lying down, lying down for two or three people.
Because Mayor Wallis used to hold meetings here, the tent was still very sturdy and of good quality. Just pull up the zipper and you can see the situation outside from the inside, but you can't see the situation inside outside.
"How is it? Are you tired!" Today is the Sea God Festival, Robbins Garcia and Edward Anderson have something to do, and they can't come, but Qi Jie and the others still came to watch the fun. Seeing Jiang Hai sitting in the tent, they all walked over with a smile.
"Huh, fortunately, my arms are a little sore." Looking at them, Jiang Hai moved his arms and preached to them with a smile.
Originally, Jiang Hai meant to ask them to press their arms, but obviously, they did not hear or deliberately missed the half sentence Jiang Hai said, but instead started to fight together with a smile.
"Okay, if you are tired, take a rest. Let's go to the market there." After really ignoring Jiang Hai, Qi Jie said with a smile, then took Qi Ya, Darlena and Marian beside her to the market there. Of course, Azalina has been following them all the time, otherwise Jiang Hai would not be relieved. Originally, Jiang Hai wanted to go to the market for a look, but now he is indeed a little tired, so he is ready to take a break, but before he lies down, another footsteps came from a distance.
"Hi, Jiang!" Hearing this voice, Jiang Hai turned around and took a look. A hint of embarrassment flashed across his face, but it quickly stopped. Then he smiled unnaturally, because looking at the woman in front of him, uh, Jiang Hai is not that easy to deal with...
"Why? Don't know me anymore?" Seeing Jiang Hai's entangled gaze, the girl didn't care. She sat directly next to Jiang Hai, and then said to Jiang Hai with a smile. When she heard her words, Jiang Hai also touched her head. How could she not know her?
"How is that possible, Kelly, I haven't seen you recently..." Yes, the person in front of me is nothing else, it is Kelly Soren. At that time, Jiang Hai was in Hodge Selsey's house, in the bathroom on the second floor, and some things that shouldn't have happened to her and Diliya George. Later, Jiang Hai and Diliya made it clear, but he had no way to say anything about Kelly.
Diliya has a boyfriend, and Jiang Hai can talk about this thing, but Kelly doesn't, which makes Jiang Hai a little overwhelmed.
But Kelly didn't seem to care much about this relationship. After that day, although she occasionally sent some text messages to Jiang Hai, she didn't have too much contact. Today, she suddenly arrived, which caught Jiang Hai off guard.
"What else can I do? Just find a job. My dad said I would come to the flower shop to help, but I feel that I am still young now. If I don't go out to find a job and make a breakthrough, I feel a little sorry for my age." Kelly Sauron shrugged and said speechlessly.
Of course, she didn't explain that American children are actually a bit rebellious. After they were eighteen years old, most of them were unwilling to live with their parents, let alone work under their hands. Not only did they make a lot of money, but they also had to be angry.
So they are more willing to go out than working from home, which is the main reason why Kelly has been looking for a job.
"Well, have you ever thought about continuing to study in school?" Hearing her words, Jiang Hai hesitated for a moment and said to her. To be honest, Jiang Hai knew that Kelly Soren was looking for a job at the earliest, but he didn't want to take this answer.
But after all, something happened between the two, and now they are friends, so it doesn't matter if they help find a job.
"Are you taking the postgraduate entrance examination? Hi Jiang, stop teasing, my grades are still possible, but the problem is, my major is not very good, and no topic will ask me for it." Shrugged, Kelly Soren said helplessly, the postgraduate entrance examination is indeed a good place in the United States.
In fact, the same is true in China, but it is not that easy to take the postgraduate entrance examination in the United States. It doesn’t mean that you can pass the exam.
Instead, you need to participate in some research groups, and you need to become a graduate student of those professors so that you can pass the exam.
In China, this is more of a name, but in Boston, the United States, it really requires some research ability.
"Leave this to me." Looking at Kelly Soren's appearance, Jiang Hai smiled and helped people to the end and sent Buddha to the West. Since something that shouldn't have happened between them, he would help her. Then he took out his cell phone, found a phone call on it and pulled it over. After the phone rang a few times, an excited voice came from the other side of the phone.
"Hi, Jiang, you must have known that our research has made progress, so you called me? Haha, it's really great!" Hearing this person's words, Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes couldn't help but lit up. Has the research been made progress? What does this mean?
"Wait a minute, Professor Baker Gerald, I don't know what progress has been in your research. Tell me slowly." Hearing the voice on the other side of the phone, Jiang Hai couldn't help but say immediately, you know that he invested a lot of money in this research institution. If it has never been effective, Jiang Hai was also helpless. Although the first institution was established, it was not to make money, but to cover his own manor. The effect is still good at present, at least it blocked many scholars and the like.
But if this research institution can really develop something, it will be a good benefit for them.
"Haha, I used your cow to cross the North American bison I applied for from Yellowstone Park. I found that there was no reproductive isolation between these two species, and the calves born were not only smarter, but also had a similar body shape to the North American bison, but their personality was more inclined to be like Angus cows. However, I don't know if this cow is suitable for breeding. I have to study everything before talking about it..." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Professor Baker Gerald here couldn't help but say briskly. It can be heard that he is in a very good mood now.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hai also raised his eyebrows. A hybrid of Angus cattle and American bison? It sounds interesting.
But I just don't know if this thing can be raised, but I'll leave it to Professor Baker Gerald, he doesn't understand it very much anyway.
After congratulating Professor Baker Gerald, he gradually calmed down.
"Jiang, is there anything wrong with calling me?" Baker Gerrard is in a good mood now, and he also remembered that Jiang Hai did not call him because he knew his research results. That means that Jiang Hai had something else to do with him. Jiang Hai is the boss. He has been studying for almost a year, but he has not studied it, so he is still very careful with Jiang Hai.
"That's right. I have a friend who is a student from Boston University. Because it's not easy to find a job after graduation, I'll prepare to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I'll ask if you have a quota for graduate students. If so, I'll let her take the exam for your graduate students." Hearing Baker Gerrard's words, Jiang Hai also explained his purpose, but he was still a little careful when he was talking.
He was also quite afraid that this old professor would think too much. Generally, there were too many intellectuals like this. Don’t think that Kelly was a spy he sent to, that would be troublesome. However, Jiang Hai obviously thought too much. Americans don’t care about using people, and they don’t use them.
Among research institutions like the United States, there must be one, or even a few investors, because they have to see whether these people spend money randomly, whether they have good patents, and whether they are beneficial to investors. Who like Jiang Hai, invests the money and then ignores it? Now that Jiang Hai sends someone here, it can be said that Baker Gerrard is unhappy.
"Of course there is no problem with this. Just ask her to take my graduate student." Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Baker Gerald couldn't help but patting Yue Xiong's chest. When he heard him agree, Jiang Hai also breathed a sigh of relief. After typing up Kelly Soren next to him, he made a few more words with Baker Gerald, and then hung up the phone.
"Really? Did you really help me find the professor?" Kelly Soren, who was here, couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Well, Professor Baker Gerald, it should be the professor of ecological evolution at your university. Now he is making a plan for me for ranch cattle breeding and grass quality. You can go to him these days, discuss with him, and then study hard and get through the exam." Looking at Kelly Soren, Jiang Hai said to her with a smile. When he heard what Jiang Hai said, Kelly Soren couldn't help but jumped over excitedly and kissed Jiang Hai heavily on his lips. Originally, she told Jiang Hai that her work was actually more about complaining.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Hai actually helped her solve this problem directly. To be honest, this really made her so excited.
