Five hundred and forty-eight chapters black and white
"We are mainly here to fish, can you help us with fishing?" Hong Tao is also interested in the tourism projects he mentioned, but he has not forgotten the ultimate purpose of coming here.
"My father, my grandfather and I all grew up by the river. I am familiar with all the fish here, and I can also provide you with fishing gear without buying or renting it." After hearing Hong Tao's question,
Anaya grinned. Perhaps in his opinion, providing other tourist projects for tourists is much more difficult than providing fishing assistance.
"How do you charge?" Hong Tao is very satisfied with what he said before. Now it depends on whether he can agree on the price.
"150 reais per person per day!" Anaya said a number without hesitation.
"Does it include meals?" Hong Tao thought it was a bit too cheap and asked again.
"The food is very average. Because my hotel is too far away from the city, I can't buy too much at one time, so I can only focus on local food." When it comes to food, Ananya is a little less confident.
"It's you! Let's make a deal!" Before he could finish his words, Hong Tao quickly reached out and grabbed his hands and held them together, for fear that he would change his mind, because when he went to the Indian tribe in Canada, he heard that Indians were the most trustworthy.
, as long as you agree to something, even if you feel that you have lost money later, you must complete it as agreed, and the way of making the agreement is very simple, just shake hands. Although this is Brazil, Hong Tao thinks that the Indians should be the same. Where can I find such a cheap travel agency?
Ah! Set it down quickly!
"Then prepare your luggage and we'll set off at noon!" Ananya obviously knew the way Hong Tao and Indians shook hands. And he was very happy. He didn't even discuss paying a deposit in advance and started making preparations to set sail.
"We are all carrying our luggage. This is 500 U.S. dollars. We don't have that many reals on us. Can I pay you in U.S. dollars?" Hong Tao didn't intend to embarrass this honest middle-aged man. He had to pay up front wherever he stayed.
Yes, he doesn't want to bully honest people either.
"No problem, if you pay in US dollars, I can give you a better discount." Anaya was not worried about receiving the US dollars. Instead, she was even happier.
"We don't need discounts, as long as we can catch more fish, we still have 100 US dollars here. Can you help us buy some beer and mineral water and take them with us?" Hong Tao was not worried Anaya
The water there, the tap water in Brazil is the same as in China, it cannot be drunk directly. It is not a big deal if you bump it when you go out, but it will be troublesome if you eat it and have a bad stomach.
"I have beer there, let me buy some more mineral water." Anaya is quite sincere. It seems that his 150 reals not only provide food and accommodation, but also beer.
"Buy some. We can all drink!" Hong Tao doesn't want to save this little money. Although bargaining is necessary, don't push the other party too hard. If he can't make money, he won't be able to provide you with good service.
.This rule is applicable all over the world.
"That's it, I'll be back in half an hour. Let's meet here." Ananya took Hong Tao's money and trotted out of the dock, probably looking for a familiar merchant to purchase goods.
"Fernando, thank you very much for taking care of us these days. This is our little thought." Anaya left, but before Fernando left, Hong Tao took out another 200 US dollars as a tip for him. This money was spent
It's not unfair, this old Brazilian man did help a lot, and he never squandered Hong Tao's money, which is rare.
"God will bless you. This is my home phone number. If you are in trouble, be sure to call me." Money can make all the difference, and Fernando, an old man who is not greedy, is also happy to see the green dollars.
He laughed, and instead of declining falsely, he added a local phone number to his business card.
After seeing off the happy Fernando, Hong Tao and the three of them were not idle. They walked around the streets outside the pier and found a small supermarket. They went in to buy toilet paper, toothpaste, band-aids, chewing gum, and canned beef.
They bought as much as they could, spent all the reals in the hands of the three of them, filled their backpacks, and then, like three big turtles carrying thick shells, supported each other and returned to the dock.
At this time, Anaya had come back and was packing things in his boat. Seeing Hong Tao and the three of them, he quickly ran ashore, took the backpack, put it on the bow of the boat one by one, and then handed it to each of them.
can of beer and started the engine.
The city of Manaus is located next to the Amazon River, at the confluence of the Negro River, the largest tributary of the Amazon River, and the Amazon River. The reason why this city can stand alone in the middle of the vast Amazon rainforest is mainly because of rubber.
At the end of the 19th century, large tracts of natural rubber were discovered in the upper reaches of the Amazon River, and people with dreams of getting rich flocked there. However, it was almost impossible to build roads in the Amazon rainforest, so water transportation became the main mode of transportation, and Manaus happened to be located
The intersection of two large rivers naturally became a supply station and transfer station, and slowly developed into a large city in the rainforest.
But until now, the main function of Manaus is still the shipping industry. Apart from airplanes, there are almost no roads leading to the outside world. Unlike other cities, there are no long-distance bus stations and train stations here. Instead, there are large and small
's pier.
The more docks there are, the more ships there are, but there are not so many ships here. In Hong Tao's impression, he has been to many port cities, whether they are inland ports or seaports. In terms of the number of ships, none of them can compare with Manaus.
.There are not only 3 or 4-story river cruise ships here
, there are also short transport ships and cargo ships, but the most common ones are the one- or two-story small passenger ships. They are like long-distance buses. Several ships will leave or dock every half hour, and the entire city
People inside have to use them to enter and exit the city of Manaus.
Ananya's small wooden boat is actually not small, at least 15 meters long, and it also has a second-story viewing deck. It is all made of wood and looks a bit top-heavy. Although the boat is not eye-catching, Ananya
Ya's driving skills were so powerful that as soon as he left the dock less than ten meters away, he drove at full speed and rushed towards the middle of the river. There were countless small speedboats shuttled back and forth beside his boat.
This scene is like forcibly merging from the side of the road to the inside lane on the Second Ring Road during rush hour in Beijing. It is really scary but not dangerous. People who drive small speedboats seem to be used to this kind of long scene.
Those who can't get past Anaya's bow will use more power to rush over, while those who can't get past will draw a semi-arc on the water to pass through the stern of the ship without slowing down.
"Holy shit! This guy is too fierce!" Fatty Bu watched helplessly as a small speedboat almost brushed the side of the boat and passed by his own boat. His heart was in his throat, and he used both hands to
Holding the pillar on the deck, he expressed his sincere admiration.
"Hey, look at the guy on the boat opposite, does he look like a pirate? He doesn't even need to put on makeup, he can just hold a machete and act in a movie." Hong Tao patted Fatty Bu on the shoulder, raised his chin towards the opposite side, and used
Chinese whispered.
"I feel a bit like Artest! Especially that face shape and physique, look at that arm, it's almost as thick as my thigh." Fatty Bu also saw the man on the opposite boat, but he was a different kind of man.
Feel.
"Who is Artest?" Hong Tao was unfamiliar with this name.
"You don't watch the NBA!" Fatty Bu looked at Hong Tao as if he were a monster.
"Look, I know Jordan and Kobe!" Hong Tao is really not basketball blind, but it's just like watching football. It's just a fun thing to watch, not a fascination.
"Then let's change the topic, we are not on the same level." Fatty Bu was really contemptuous this time.
When the boat passed through the sea of ships near the port and sailed to the middle of the river, the surroundings became much looser. Although this Negro River is a tributary of the Amazon and the Amazon, it is extremely wide, at least more than 2 kilometers. The color of the river water is dark brown.
It seems to be soy sauce that has been diluted many times and is a bit cloudy. It doesn't look very good.
"Hong! Go to the bow of the boat and pick up your camera. This is the first beautiful sight on the Amazon journey!" The wooden boat had been sailing for less than half an hour when Anaya suddenly poked her head out of the cockpit and greeted people at the stern.
Hong Tao chats everywhere.
"What scenery?" Hong Tao and the others ran all the way to the bow of the ship, holding on to the side of the ship and looking around, but saw nothing.
"Go to the second floor, go to the second floor!" Anaya's English is much worse than Fernando's. At least 3 of the 10 words in a sentence are wrong, let alone the grammar. Fortunately, his accent is not too strong, Hong Tao
After some brainstorming, most of the sounds can still be heard clearly.
"What is that? Damn it!" Fatty Bu was the first one to rush up to the second deck, and then there was an exclamation immediately.
"Sturgeon, don't just look at it, hurry up and take pictures! Hurry up and take pictures!" Both Hong Tao and Sturgeon also saw the so-called beautiful scenery. They also opened their mouths and widened their eyes.
Not far from the bow of the boat, the river surface suddenly became more than ten times wider. This was nothing, but the color of the river water was too strange. The water on the side near the Hong Tao was the unique soy sauce color of the Negro River. Further on,
The river water in front suddenly turned yellowish
Color, the two rivers are constantly impacting and stirring each other, and neither can push the other, so they are wonderfully balanced on a winding line with clear boundaries, just like the Chinese Tai Chi diagram, with one side black
Huhu, one side is yellow.
"Anaya, is this the confluence of two rivers? The black one is the Negro River. Where is the yellow one?" Hong Tao understood the cause of this phenomenon, but he didn't know where the other yellow river was.
A river.
