Chapter 1479: Crawling Fish
Zhou Jing and Abby finished the makeup skillfully. Basically, they only painted the eyebrows, eyeliner and red lips. There is no problem of polluting water, and the lipstick is different from the common ones on the market. It seems to be hand-made, and it is probably also a natural pigment that can be waterproof.
Xiaoxue has already persuaded her what she should persuade, so what else can she say? Although she has good intentions, people rely on this job to support their families and make a living. If they lose this job, there may be more dire consequences.
Both Zhou Jing and Abby were still wearing one-piece diving suits at this time, and they had to take off and change into mermaid suits before going into the water. Zhang Zian thought that they would at least find a changing room or something to change, but unexpectedly, they started in person in person. take off.
He was about to turn his head to avoid it, but soon realized that it was unnecessary, because the two of them were already wearing bikinis under the wetsuit.
They wear swimming goggles, not the ordinary swimming goggles, but diving goggles, white and transparent, the kind that covers even the eyes and nose, but they cannot wear snorkels, because it will affect the perception too much, and the ones prepared indoors The snorkel is for practice and cannot be used in formal performances.
"1 minute." Abby raised a finger at Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing nodded.
Since there is no snorkel or scuba, they dive into the water purely by holding their breath, interact with aquatic creatures, and greet the audience. Even for well-trained women, in order to ensure safety, they usually have to hold their breath for 1 minute, and then alternately float up to take a breath. Frequent floating up and breathing affects the feelings of the audience, so if there are big people visiting and watching the mermaid show live, they will try to hold their breath underwater for 1.5 minutes, which is the limit of safety. If it exceeds 2 minutes, it is likely to be dangerous.
Some of the largest viewers in the live broadcast room said that it is too easy to hold their breath for 2 minutes, but their breath holding time was calculated in the swimming pool. If they dive five to ten meters underwater, the body’s oxygen consumption will increase greatly, and the tension will increase. Emotions, let alone 2 minutes for those who have not been trained, it is estimated that even farts will be squeezed out by water pressure after 1 minute...
Today is just a regular performance, 1 minute is enough.
They can't wear a watch, just rely on the silent counting in their hearts.
There was a small electric kettle in the room. Zhang Zian had noticed it before, because Chinese people like to drink hot water wherever they go, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
At this time, Zhou Jing took a pot of cold water, took out a small bag of brown sugar and shredded ginger from the small refrigerator, and turned on the kettle. Two or three minutes later, the water boiled, and the sweet smell of brown sugar and the spicy smell of shredded ginger quietly permeated the room. She poured two glasses and handed one of them to Abby, who took it unceremoniously, held it in her hand,
Silently wait for the temperature to drop to a level suitable for entrance. She poured the remaining ginger tea into a thermos, put it by the pool, and drank it after the water came out.
Brown sugar ginger tea is a trick brought by Zhou Jing, a Chinese. Abby dismissed it at first. She prefers to drink a cup of coffee or black tea before going into the water, but after drinking it out of curiosity, she regrets the past Why don't you know this little trick.
"You can't see the performance from here, the side door leads to the tourist area, you can go there to watch our performance." Zhou Jing pointed to a small door in the room, said to Xiaoxue, and winked her eyes mischievously, Whispered: "Remember to give me a few more shots to make me look more beautiful."
Zhou Jing was just joking, because she didn't need to lower her voice to say that Abby couldn't understand Chinese anyway.
Xiaoxue nodded, and said worriedly: "Then you...be careful, don't force yourself..."
"Okay, see you later when the performance is over!" Zhou Jing smiled and waved.
Zhang Zian was about to follow Xiaoxue into the side door to the tourist area, but Zhou Jing stopped him.
"Ah, wait a minute! If you don't mind, can I ask you a little favor?" Zhou Jing asked.
"Help for what?" Zhang Zian asked.
Zhou Jing smiled wryly, "I may not be in a good state today. When the show is over, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to go ashore. Can you please stay here and help us out when we go ashore?"
Two sets of mermaid suits have been placed beside the small pool. The edge of the pool is a gentle slope, like a slide that dips into the water. The surface of the slope is covered with rubber to increase friction.
It is easy to enter the water, just roll into the water, but when it comes out of the water and lands, the 50-jin fish tail is soaked in water, and the weight is far more than 50 jin. The mermaid player has to drag the heavy fish tail, stretch his arms and crawl ashore on the slope, just like the primitive fish climbed from the sea to the land with two evolved pectoral fins, becoming the first land animals.
If the slope is made of smooth tiles without rubber, their arms will have nowhere to go, and they will not be able to climb up at all. However, if the slope is covered with rubber, the friction will increase the difficulty of dragging the fish tail. It is a double-edged sword that must exist. sword.
After they performed in the water, they were already exhausted, and they had to get themselves ashore. This process was very difficult to think about. It would be no problem for Zhou Jing in normal times, but today, her physical strength is relatively weak, and she is worried. I ran out of strength halfway through the climb, and I had to wait for Abby to climb up first and take off the fish tail before pulling her.
There happened to be a man like Zhang Zian, Zhou Jing asked him to stay by the pool, and give her a hand when the water came out, and Abby along the way.
"Okay, no problem." Zhang Zian agreed without thinking, and then his calf was kicked by the snow lion, because he would not be able to see the performance if he stayed here.
"Thank you for delaying your performance." Zhou Jing bowed her head and apologized.
"It won't be delayed." Zhang Zian took out his mobile phone, "Didn't Xiaoxue go to live broadcast over there, and I watched the same from her live broadcast room."
But the effect of watching it on the spot and watching it on a mobile phone is completely different, just like the difference between watching a movie on a mobile phone and watching a movie in a cinema.
Zhou Jing also knew this, and smiled apologetically: "Next time when I am in good shape, if you come again, I will pay you the entrance fee, and it will be regarded as compensation."
"No, you can take us to the backstage for a tour, so that we can see the preparation process of the mermaid show with our own eyes. This is already a novel experience that no number of tickets can buy." Zhang Zian said.
The time was almost up, Zhou Jing and Abby sat by the pool, stretched their legs into the fish tail, and then tried to pull the fish tail up and put it on until the waist tightly hugged the body.
Their fish tails...or their legs were soaked in the pool, and they drank brown sugar ginger tea in one gulp, then picked up the water to wet their upper body, and when their bodies got used to the water temperature, Zhou Jing nodded to Zhang Zian and put on swimming goggles , jumped into the water with Abby.
