Global Food Tour

Chapter 247 Cape of Good Hope!
At night, Zhang Feng didn't sleep very well. Maybe it was because he slept too well in the past night. The next morning, Zhang Feng got up early and came to the mine. In overalls, he followed the miners out of the mine.

The mine is somewhat like a canyon, about [-] meters above the ground, and there are some machines below, but most of them are mined by workers by hand. Zhang Feng found a place to start working with a worker who speaks good English.

"Haman, how long have you been working here?" Zhang Feng said to Haman.

Haman thought for a while and said, "More than a year."

"Oh, is it difficult to get along here?" Zhang Feng asked.

Haman replied with a smile: "If you say it's hard to mix, it's hard to mix. If you can dig diamonds, then you must be easy to mix, otherwise it will be difficult to mix..."

Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Understood."

Then everyone immersed themselves in their work. In fact, Zhang Feng seemed very different, because the workers here were all black, and he was the only man of yellow race.

It took three hours to do this. Zhang Feng had nothing to gain, but someone in the whole team got something. They dug up a rough stone of about one carat, which is 0.2 grams. I almost cried out in excitement. I heard that the commission is about 5.00%. , the original stone counts as 2000 yuan, and there are [-] yuan.

What Zhang Feng envied, of course, was not the envy of the commission, but the envy of being able to dig out diamonds.

dig dig dig dig...

After Zhang Feng had a simple lunch, he kept digging, digging, digging...

Until the end of the work, Zhang Fengmao didn't dig anything, and he was still very tired. After a strict inspection when leaving, Zhang Feng returned to the hotel, washed himself off and fell asleep.

The second day of working in the mine was also the last day Zhang Feng could stay. Zhang Feng kept digging, hoping to have a chance to dig a diamond, even if it was small. In half an hour, Zhang Feng dug up a rough diamond, about two carats, which really excited the entire workers.

But Zhang Feng is not very satisfied, two carats are not very big, after paying the money, Zhang Feng took the two carats to the diamond processing factory in the town, found the best master, and asked the master to process overnight, of course he also paid. A lot of fees were paid.

After putting away the diamond ring and sealing his mood, Zhang Feng happily contacted Xiao Xiao and went to have dinner together near the airport.

After dinner, take a South African Airways flight to Cape Town.There are still many vacant seats on the plane, and it happens that the left side of the window avoids the bright moon that night, the brightest centaurus in the southern hemisphere night sky, and the four bright stars of the Southern Cross: South Gate 2, Horse Belly 3, Cross [-], [-] .In a relatively bright night sky, it is not easy to photograph them through the porthole.The flight landed in Cape Town on time, we were picked up on the ground, checked into the hotel, and everything went well!
On the first day in Cape Town, it was a bit gloomy outside the window in the early morning, and the mountainside of Table Mountain in the distance was shrouded in clouds and mist.After breakfast, the first stop was to Seal Island. When we set off, the sky was still gloomy. Through the car window, we could see the beautiful sea and sky. After discussing with Xiao Xiao, we stopped to take pictures for 5 minutes. The skyline in the distance could no longer tell whether it was the sky or the sky. ocean.

Get on the car and continue on your way until you arrive at Hout Bay, the pier heading to Seal Island. The sky has cleared up, and there are many private yachts moored in the harbor. Get on the boat and set off, and you will arrive at Seal Island in ten minutes. Tens of thousands of seals are lying lazily on the reef. With so many seals gathering, the smell is really bad.When returning to the shore, the next group of tourists was already waiting on the shore, and there were almost all Chinese tourists mixed with a few foreigners.

Zhang Feng asked Xiao Xiao in surprise if all the regiments were like this.

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "It's fashionable to travel abroad now."

"Yes, where should we go next?"

"The taste here is not good, there are still 10 minutes, let's go to the winery."

Winery, wine tasting and shopping. I tasted 5 kinds of wine. To be honest, the taste is not bad. The price is not expensive, ranging from RMB tens to 200. It’s just that the distance is far away and it’s inconvenient to carry. Considering Xiao Xiao’s factors, I still bought two bottle.

Of course, Xiao Xiao didn't know about it, but obviously there was a commission, which was regarded as an unspoken rule in the industry, but Xiao Xiao did it more naturally, and didn't encourage anyone to buy wine, but just introduced what should be introduced.

During the trip to South Africa, Zhang Feng also followed Xiao Xiao to many stops. This winery is the first place where it is more obvious for everyone to spend money.

"You bought so many bottles?"

"Have a drink tonight?"

"What are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I have no idea about your body."

"Hee hee, okay, have a drink tonight."

……

"...Penguin Beach, spotted penguin is a species unique to South Africa, with a body length of about 60 cm and a weight of about 3500 grams. There are small black spots on the chest and pink eye circles. It lives along the coast of Cape Town. The breeding season is in November every year. -In March, generally 11-3 eggs will be laid, hatched for 2 days, and the little penguins will be fed for 4 months.

Penguins are monogamous. In 1982, local fishermen discovered the first two pairs of penguins here. Under the spontaneous protection of local residents, after more than 30 years of reproduction, the number of penguins has grown to more than 3000. "

Hearing what Xiao Xiao said, Zhang Feng secretly thanked South Africa for its animal protection, otherwise it would not be possible to see so many penguins getting along with people at close range.

Some penguins are very close, only two or three meters away. The penguins on the beach are hatching their eggs. Zhang Feng came here at a bad season, and he could barely see the penguins. The days of the penguins must be very difficult under the scorching sun. Panting, the only way to lower your body temperature.

After buying some food that can be fed to the penguins, Zhang Feng followed everyone else’s lead and started feeding the penguins. When feeding the penguins, Zhang Feng remembered the scene of feeding the pigeons himself, but compared to the naive penguins, Zhang Feng liked the pigeons better. Penguins, it may be that I have seen a lot of sea recently, so Zhang Feng hopes that he can swim in the sea, and penguins are satisfied with this. Recalling the pictures of people and nature when he was a child, Zhang Feng fed all the food on hand to Favorite penguin.

Leaving Penguin Beach, I came to the place where people live. Cape Town in midsummer is full of flowers. Due to the security of South Africa, many private houses are equipped with high-wall power grids, which are real power grids!However, the law and order in Cape Town is much better than that of Johannesburg. At least we walked around for half an hour, and we didn’t see any non-police people with guns, and there were many more tourists on the streets.

From Penguin Beach, head to Cape Town's most famous attraction --- Cape of Good Hope!
