Before Feng Yi left Yangcheng, someone from the Publicity Department of the Joint Security Bureau contacted him to formally finalize the publicity cooperation.
Of course, like Wei Hongxi, they also suggested that Feng Yi post more photos. It would be best if his face was shown. It was not necessary to show his face in every photo, but he had to expose it from time to time.
Looking at the detailed list of salaries offered, Feng Yi agreed.
It’s just showing your face, no problem!
After arranging the matters in Yangcheng, Feng Yi set off for Mocheng. The leader of the working group had already communicated with the people there.
On this trip, Feng Yi only brought Xiaojia with him and drove there.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Ding went to Yongcheng and were responsible for the decoration of the house there.
Xiao Bing, Doctor Xiao Wu and the housekeeper stayed behind.
We drove from Yangcheng to Mocheng, rested several times along the way, and arrived at our destination the next day.
The further north you go, the more you can feel the lingering cold of winter.
In early March, it was so hot in the south that people had to wear short sleeves, and in the north people had to wear down jackets.
The temperature in Yangcheng rose quickly after the Waking of Insects. Feng Yi went out wearing a single long-sleeved T-shirt. In Mocheng, not only did he have to wear a padded jacket, but it had to be thick.
But it’s okay. After all, it’s March and there’s no severe cold wave, so we don’t need to wear thick cotton-padded jackets or down coats here.
After staying in Yangcheng for a long time, Feng Yi suddenly felt a little sleepy due to the cold weather. While Xiaojia was driving, Feng Yi slept in the back seat.
Yawning, Feng Yi looked at the busy streets outside the window, as well as the billboards on both sides of the street and the advertisements of various businesses.
Especially for those in the catering industry, the billboards in front of their doors are filled with all kinds of delicious seafood.
And now, because of the starfish outbreak, new billboards have highlighted this theme.
Visitors from other places or foodies who come here for the sake of its reputation are always attracted by these novel elements.
When the car stopped at a red light at the intersection, Feng Yi smelled the scent coming in from the half-open window and swallowed.
no!
Hold on for now!
Business is important!
Feng Yi asked Xiao Jia to drive to the destination first, report there and check in.
According to the address given by the leader of the working group, the car continued to drive towards the coast.
Feng Yi looked at the location on his phone and suddenly felt that the car had stopped.
There is a gate ahead.
An unknown foreign vehicle was displayed on the electronic screen.
In the guardhouse next to us, the officer on duty opened the window and looked over. He glanced at the car logo, then looked at the face that appeared out of the rear window. He felt familiar, but couldn't put his hand indifferently. "Turn left at the intersection in front of the movie, and you'll see the contact after 200 meters. The variety show crew should go over there and go around a small square."
Feng Yi took out his cell phone and handed over his electronic pass, "I'm from the expert group."
The man stared at the electronic pass for a moment and apologized, "I'm sorry, there have been several crew members who came to ask for directions recently."
As he spoke, he looked at Feng Yi again, and at the Yangcheng license plate displayed on the screen at hand. Suddenly, the photo he had seen online a few days ago flashed through his mind, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face. "Hey, you must be the Feng expert! Welcome, welcome! I heard this morning that another expert would be coming today!"
"Do you want to register?" Feng Yi asked.
"I just need to scan the code on the pass, and the system will automatically register it. Next time you drive in or out, you can pass directly... OK! Please go ahead!"
The electric fence opens.
The indicator lights on the side also show the signs of passage.
Feng Yi nodded in thanks and asked Xiao Jia to drive the car in.
There are several areas here, each with a parking lot. Feng Yi has a map in his hand, and there are guide signs on both sides of the lane so he won't get lost.
I checked in first. The dormitory here is a small two-bedroom apartment. It is not as luxurious and spacious as a hotel, but it can meet the living needs of ordinary people.
For Feng Yi, it doesn't matter where he lives after leaving his home, as he can't use his original form anyway.
Because experts and investigation teams often come here, the security and privacy are no worse than those of a luxury five-star hotel. Staying here also allows more communication and interaction with other experts.
Xiaojia went to the cafeteria to get food, and Fengyi packed his luggage.
There were two new sets of work clothes in the closet, in sizes that Feng Yi could wear, one with a reflective vest and the other without.
There are sunglasses and hats in the box next to them. They are not special treatments. These are bulk models and many people here will use them.
After Xiaojia came back with the meal, Feng Yi ate something and let Xiaojia rest in the room. He changed into the work clothes in the closet, put on a hat, but did not wear sunglasses and hung them on the clothes.
The sun is shining brightly today, bringing warmth to my body.
There are two entrances and exits to the dormitory area, one in the south and one in the north. The south gate is the main gate, and the north gate is smaller but closer to the cafeteria.
Feng Yi entered from the south gate when he came, and now he planned to go out from the north gate and find out where the cafeteria is first.
When you arrive at a place, the first thing you should do is find out where you can get food.
Old Liu, who was guarding the north gate, scanned every person entering and leaving with a sharp gaze, and no one who was not allowed could enter or leave through the north gate!
His eyes paused when they fell on Feng Yi.
When Feng Yi checked in, Lao Liu's information was also updated. He had just searched online and found out the identity of this person. His expression relaxed and he smiled, "Teacher Feng!"
"Just call me Feng Yi." Feng Yi said.
"That won't work." Old Liu's face was full of disapproval. If it was another expert with low gold content, it would be fine to call him, but this one is certified by the Joint Guarantee Bureau and has entered the expert committee. Regardless of whether this person looks like him or not, he is indeed a powerful expert!
However, there are too many experts living here, so he usually doesn't call them experts specifically. He either calls them by their titles or "teacher".
Thinking of the comments on the Internet, Lao Liu changed his words: "I'll call you Brother Snake."
"That's still Mr. Feng." Feng Yi said decisively. Putting aside this online title, it always feels uncomfortable to be called brother by someone older than your father.
Old Liu laughed and said, "Teacher Feng, you're out doing business right after you got here? Why don't you take a rest for a while?"
“… Take a look first and get familiar with it.”
Feng Yi's eyes fell on a large black farm dog tied not far away and he changed the subject, "This dog is good!"
Many animals would become overly alert when Feng Yi approached them, but this big black dog was not like that.
When talking about this dog, Lao Liu smiled even more. "I picked the puppy myself! It's called 'Coke'."
Feng Yi took two steps closer. The big black dog stared at him. Probably because it had noticed Lao Liu's attitude, it was a little wary but calm.
Feng Yi became even more curious. This dog is really not afraid of him!
"Very spirited!" Feng Yi said. The dog's posture was full of boldness and vigor.
The big black dog was wearing a red collar with the word "Fu" on it around its neck.
Feng Yi: "And she's wearing a red collar."
Lao Liu: "I put it on during the Chinese New Year and never took it off. Some people are afraid of black dogs, so wearing a red string adds a festive atmosphere. In my opinion, this black dog is to ward off evil spirits and protect the house. On TV, folk tales show that black dog blood is used in rituals. But we are all researchers here, and we pay attention to science, so we basically don't care about that. Whether a dog is good or not is not determined by its fur color, but by whether it can do the job! Coke is very good. In addition to the necessary security defense, it can also drive away snakes, mice, and weasels!"
Feng Yi: "Wow, it can even chase away snakes!"
Old Liu: "I caught one two years ago. It was a non-venomous snake. It looked so fierce and would have been killed if it had encountered a venomous snake. It's not very smart."
Although he says he dislikes it, he actually likes it.
Lao Liu: "Actually, dogs don't need to be too smart. Dogs that are too smart don't have strong execution abilities."
As he spoke, Lao Liu checked the time and poured dog food into the big black dog's food bowl.
Feng Yi watched it eat and said, "This dog's eating posture is quite bold."
The sound of his smacking lips when eating is louder than other dogs.
However, due to its overly generous eating posture, it leaked three grains in one mouthful.
After eating a meal, spread food around the bowl.
Eat all the food in the bowl and then lick up what is on the ground.
Lao Liu: "Homemade dog food."
There are often experts and investigation teams sent from above to give guidance here. It is convenient to use dog food to keep it clean while on duty.
It was a rare opportunity to meet an expert like Feng Yi who had some free time, so Old Liu was quite excited to chat with him.
Seeing that Feng Yi was a little interested in the dog, Lao Liu started talking about how this big black dog caught mice and snakes.
He was indeed scared when he caught the snake. It was summer at that time. After changing his shift, he took his dog to play chess with others. The dog was left in an old friend's yard. When he heard the barking and rushed over, the dog had a snake in its mouth and there were snake bites on its body.
Fortunately, it is non-venomous. If it were poisonous, it would be troublesome. If it were a highly venomous snake, it might not be able to be treated in time.
To put it nicely, this dog's character is brave, but to put it bluntly, it is stupid and has no idea what fear is.
Don't be afraid of anything.
It was rare to meet a dog that was not afraid of him, so Feng Yi reached out and stroked the dog's head.
The black dog opened its mouth as if to bite. Don't touch it!
It's just a tentative rejection, not a real bite.
Even if Feng Yi retracted his hand slowly, the dog's bite would only leave a few shallow teeth marks without breaking the skin.
But if you don't know how to restrain yourself and ignore its warnings, the force of your attack will increase.
Will Feng Yi be bitten by it
impossible!
In the time it takes to open its mouth, Feng Yi can grab four or five dog heads!
However, Feng Yi also knew that he couldn't provoke the dog's temper, otherwise it would be difficult to touch the dog's head next time.
From this black dog, Feng Yi realized that animals that were not afraid of him were most likely stupid and lacked brains.
"Teacher Feng, if you are not in a hurry, you can go next door. There is a new small exhibition hall there, and there are various sea urchins and petrels, all of which are alive." said Lao Liu.
A petrel is not necessarily a bird.
Or maybe a starfish.
This outbreak of starfish disaster was caused by a large army of starfish consisting of multi-spined sea stars, sea storm petrels, etc.
Feng Yi had looked up information on the subject before coming. After all, he had said he would come to help, so it was impossible for him to just come here without knowing anything. Otherwise, other professionals would not have a good impression of him.
But Feng Yi still has limited knowledge of these things, so it would be helpful for him to go to the exhibition hall and take a look.
After thanking Lao Liu, Feng Yi walked out of the north gate, went to the cafeteria first, ate something, and then went to the exhibition hall that Lao Liu mentioned.
This place is not open to the public and there are very few people here. At this time, in addition to Feng Yi, there is also a boy of about ten years old with a little sister of five or six years old. They should be the family members of some internal staff member.
"Do you know what this is?" the little boy asked his sister, pointing to the picture next to the water tank in front of him.
Little sister: "Golden daddy~"
The boy corrected: "Golden turtle! Bi-yeah! Turtle!"
"Fuck! Dad!"
"… You should talk about the Golden Armor!"
Feng Yi was laughing quietly beside him.
He also looked at the water tank over there.
Apart from the landscaping inside the water tank, no turtles can be seen. One can only see what kind of turtle is hidden under the sand in the tank from the picture next to it.
It was an albino mutant.
In the wild, soft-shelled turtles generally live in rivers, lakes or ponds. They are not seafood, but they appear here either as research objects or for viewing.
Look at the notes on the picture next to it. This was discovered when checking red coral from an illegal trader. It is a genetic mutation of the northern strain. The trader bought it from someone else and raised it for several years. It is a little fragile and may not survive if released directly. It was not raised well in the zoo. A researcher here who had studied soft-shelled turtles before took over.
After they are well raised, they are placed in the exhibition hall to enrich the variety.
So, in general, the role of this turtle here is just an ornamental object, and there are not many academic or economic explanations around it.
If you look carefully in the water tank, you can also find a golden "pig nose" sticking out of the sand.
Feng Yi didn't quite understand the beauty of this turtle.
Is it to see its exposed "pig nose"? Or to see how it buries itself in the sand
Speaking of attracting wealth, there are many folk plants that are easy to take care of and have the meaning of attracting wealth. This little thing is troublesome to raise.
It has to be said that human aesthetics and preferences are indeed strange and unimaginable.
Complex senses always produce some magical chemical reactions, affecting people's consciousness and choices.
The same thing may be so ugly that it is beyond words in the eyes of some people, but incomparably beautiful in the eyes of others, with every detail being a stroke of genius that is so charming.
It's just like the bootlickers and argumentative people that are spawned by a thing.
It's hard to understand, but it makes sense.
Feng Yi withdrew his gaze and looked towards the water tank of the sea urchin and the petrel.
Next to it is a detailed introduction and some related research results.
During periods of abnormal climate, people here even use starfish as feed.
However, starfish are poisonous. If you feed fish with fish that have not been detoxified, it is not called feeding, it is called poisoning.
While I was watching the sea urchin, the two kids who had just watched the golden fish also came over.
In Feng Yi's opinion, these starfish look too arbitrary, but in the eyes of the two children, they are extremely cute.
The little girl asked her brother to hold her up high, and she leaned on the wall of the tank to look: "So many little feet!"
Little boy: "Do you know what it's called?"
My sister moved her eyes away from the water tank and looked at the pictures and texts next to it.
"Slippery animal~"
"Echinoderm! I told you to read more books! The word is pronounced as Ji! The Ji as in thorn! Ji-yi! Ji!!"
"Chicken-skinned animal!"
"… "
After the little boy corrected his sister's pronunciation, he asked, "Do you know how starfish eat?"
Feng Yi looked at the demonstration animation playing on the electronic screen next to him.
After discovering its prey, the starfish inside spit out the weapon called "stomach".
The animation is a bit exaggerated, but the starfish's hunting is indeed amazing.
The first time Feng Yi saw a starfish eating clams, he was more shocked than seeing a husky eating melon seeds.
Although you can’t tell from the starfish’s appearance, it is indeed a ferocious carnivore!
