Chapter 495 [Ordinary People's Days]
Maldives is a tropical country, located around the equator, with infinite tropical scenery. It is also an island country, so the houses there are a little special. Some houses are even built above the sea, with the sea below and the natural scenery well preserved.
Bell's new pattern, living in this small fishing village, is very quiet, although there is no water or electricity, and it is difficult to supply daily necessities. But this state of life makes Bell Singh and his family feel that they have not come in vain, and they have experienced the fun that others cannot experience. Singh, with his three wives and children, has even returned to the living conditions of ordinary people.
The rented house is the best in the village. Although it is built on the sea, it is very cool by the sea because of its wooden structure. There are no houses within a hundred meters around, and the furniture is very simple, but all the living facilities are new, and of course the choices are all ordinary people's tastes.
The house has a total of five rooms, three guest rooms, a living room, and a kitchen. Mushar lives outside a hundred meters with several disguised bodyguards. In other words, the whole house is inhabited by members of the Singh family, all family members, without even a maid.
Without maids to serve them personally, the daily life of the family is all taken care of by several women. Although it is very tiring, several women enjoy it. Serving their men and the children of the family makes life particularly fulfilling. They feel that this is the life that people should have.
Several women returned to the happy life of washing clothes, cooking, and raising children. Belsinger, a man, also took on the responsibilities that men should bear. At seven o'clock in the morning, Belsinger got up from the bed and covered Praj, who was sleeping soundly, with a sheet, so that she could have a good rest and not catch a cold.
Then he yawned, grabbed the cigarette box on the bedside table next to him, lit a cigar and staggered out of the room. When he came to the living room and opened the window facing the sea, he saw the blue sea, the white beach and the blue sky with white clouds. Because he got up early, the sea breeze was relatively cool, which made Belsinger feel very comfortable.
After smoking a cigarette, Belsinger came to the simple bathroom, took a cold shower and solved his hygiene problem. It is similar to the primitive people living in the Amazon rainforest. The local residents living in the Maldives will build houses on the sea surface, and some domestic garbage and human excrement will be directly discarded into the sea.
Do you think that doing so will pollute the environment? It is disgusting and stinking, and it has been completely destroyed. In fact, whether it is human excrement or leftovers, as long as they are poured into the sea, there will be fish, shrimps and crabs to give you all these things, and they will be cleaned up instantly without any residue.
This treatment method is the most natural ecological cycle system and the most scientific treatment method. There is no concept of polluting the environment. It is the most natural method, the most ecological and environmentally friendly. When I walked out of the bathroom, I saw Lina, just like an ordinary housewife, dressed neatly, and came to the kitchen to make breakfast for her family.
The breakfast looks very simple, with rice stewed in coconut milk. The method of making is very sophisticated, and the fresh coconut is split in half. Keep the coconut juice, leaves and meat, then wash the fresh and good rice, soak it in coconut juice, put it in the two halves of the coconut shell, and then steam it in a steamer.
The steamed rice has a coconut fragrance, which is particularly sweet, and the side dishes are also very simple, some fresh vegetable salads. If you like meat, you have to eat grilled fish. The Maldives are also of the Hindustani race, and they also like to eat curry. Curry grilled fish is quite delicious.
Even for a foodie like Bel Singh, two complete coconut rice balls are enough to ensure a morning's nutritional intake. Bel Singh saw that Lina was very busy, so he came forward to help the couple talk and laugh. Breakfast was made very quickly, and several women in the family also got up one after another to help.
Everyone made breakfast with all their hands and feet, put it on fresh banana leaves, and then enjoyed the food facing the sea. They drank fresh coconut juice or fruit, and the content of the chat was the trivialities of life, such as what the sisters were going to do today? The fat girl Praj took on the laundry work of the whole family.
Natasha and her sister are going to the forest with the women in the village to collect fruits, while Lina is at home taking care of the children. What is Belsinger doing? After dinner, he dressed neatly, barefooted, and came to the island's dock with a spear for shooting fish, and followed a man from the village to go fishing.
Because the Maldives is a small island with few people, the natural scenery is well preserved, and even the fishing boats are powered by sails. The boat is not big and there are not many people going out to sea. There are only about 20 adult men, each of whom carries a net bag made of rattan to carry his day's harvest.
The small sailboat went out to sea, swaying away from the island, and about one kilometer away, it came to the coral reefs between the islands. The visibility can be said to be perfect, and you can see large and small fish swimming around under the boat. Then the captain gave an order, and all the people on the boat were divided into half and started hunting in the water, while the other half waited on the boat.
Belsinger is good at swimming, and he has the best spear gun, equipped with snorkeling glasses and breathing system. He came to the sea and started chasing his prey today. Because there are many women in the family, he has to choose big fish even when hunting fish.
The guy in his hand is the best, and it has played a good role. This dive caught a grouper over 50 cm long. It weighs dozens of kilograms. It took a lot of effort to get this grouper on the boat. Although everyone doesn't speak the same language, they are all half guessing and half listening in the same language, so you can still understand what the other person is saying.
The captain of the boat is old and the only capable person in the village who runs a boat. Only this boat in the village can go out hunting. So when everyone has any harvest, they will choose the biggest fish as a fee to pay the captain of the boat, but the grouper that Belsinger didn't practice today is too big. If it is given for free, the other party will not dare to take it.
The family of the captain of the boat has the largest population on this island. There are more than a dozen people in the family, which is the largest family on the island. Otherwise, he would not have the money to own a small fishing boat for hunting. Belsinger discussed with the other party and exchanged a bunch of bananas, 20 fresh coconuts, five large papayas and some other tropical fruits for a large grouper. This fish is enough for his family to eat for a day.
If Belsinger took this fish home, his family would not be able to eat it, and it would definitely go bad the next day. After all, in a tropical environment, in order to avoid waste, he chose to exchange this fish with the captain for some fresh fruits.
