Chapter 630: Schiller's Leisurely Vacation (Part 1)

Bludhaven, a small city on the East Coast not far from Gotham, is also located on the coastline. Its climate is completely different from Gotham, and it can even be said to be completely opposite. It is sunny all year round, and the sunshine time and sunshine intensity are also among the best among all cities on the East Coast.

Originally, it could have developed into a very good tourist city, but because of its small land area, many hills and mountains around it, the coastline is not long enough, and the supporting facilities in the city are not enough, it is impossible to meet the needs of a large number of tourists.

If it were closer to the metropolis, it might have developed earlier, because if the drive from the metropolis is within half an hour, then tourists can enter the metropolis and solve some accommodation and food needs.

However, no tourist would be brave enough to go deep into Gotham to stay, and tourists come to the coastal city to travel to the beach to sunbathe, and the rainy weather in Gotham will ruin their good mood for the day, so Bludhaven has always been tepid.

However, since the telephone speech by Mayor Luo Yin of Gotham City, some people's prejudice against Gotham has been improved. The high crime rate and chaos here are actually due to the government's inaction. There are also many curious backpackers who want to come here to observe, and their destination is Blüdhaven.

In addition, the development of Gotham's logistics industry has led to a surge in the number of employees. Many people who want to come here to find a job will choose Blüdhaven as an outpost, because it only takes 20 minutes to drive to Gotham. If the life in Gotham cannot satisfy them, they can turn around and leave.

After all, the prices and rents in Gotham are not a joke. Although the people here are rotten, they are not poor. In other words, they are poor in the circulation system of Gotham City, but if they are taken out, they can be regarded as a class of food and clothing.

You can make a comparison like this. Generally speaking, the ordinary gangsters who guard the door of the nightclub in Gotham belong to the lower income group in Gotham, but if they come to Blüdhaven, they become representatives of a well-off life.

Some people may ask, then isn't it good for them to live in Blüdhaven? Why fight and kill in the gangs?

But they are not only gangsters, their fathers, mothers, grandparents are all gangsters, and all their interpersonal relationships are maintained in this system. It is difficult to make changes. If the gang leader disagrees, they can't run away, otherwise, the sharks will have their next meal.

In addition, the Gotham gangs have a good income, not because they have the skills to survive, or have a good educational background. The gangsters have not read much and have no skills. After they leave the Gotham system, it is impossible for them to find such a high-paying job.

This is a problem that every resident in a high-income, high-price area will encounter when moving to a low-income, low-price area. They want to get low prices with high wages, but low-price areas often do not have high wages and insufficient supporting facilities, so they would rather endure such high prices than move to low-price areas.

This is also why Blüdhaven, as a neighboring city of Gotham, has a very good public security situation.

To put it bluntly, the residents of Gotham don't like this place at all. Working hard here for a month may not earn as much as working for the gangs in Gotham for a week. Even if the price of goods in Brudhaven is low, the materials are relatively expensive and scarce, and some things have to be bought in Gotham, so why not live directly in Gotham? At least the locals are familiar with the roads and it is safer.

Many backpackers who come to Brudhaven say that this is the paradise closest to hell. Whether it is climate, scenery, or humanities, Brudhaven is not inferior to those tourist cities on the East Coast.

Similarly, unlike a prosperous metropolis like Gotham, Brudhaven is a small city with a slower pace of life and everyone is very leisurely, thanks to the rich catch on the East Coast.

The industrial structure here is also dominated by fishing docks, seafood processing and export and logistics industries. There are three docks in the whole town. Except for one of them that is relatively large because it was built later, the other two were built by Europeans during the colonial period and are now relatively old.

"Sir, you may not have heard of this pier. It broke down about three or four years ago. The mayor said there was no need to repair it, so it was turned into a fishing pier." A little boy wearing overalls and a fisherman's hat ran to the wooden platform of the pier, pointing to the front and said to Schiller behind him.

"Look, do you see those small boats? They are experience boats specially prepared for tourists. Tourists can go there to experience shallow sea fishing. The rowing fishermen will teach them the most basic shallow sea fishing skills. They can use fishing rods and experience fishing nets."

"For only five dollars, you can take away the fattest fish. If you are willing to give me another fifty cents, I will take you to the restaurant next door. The fish soup and fish stew stewed by the owner there are really great."

"Five dollars is too expensive. I don't like eating fish very much. Of course, if it can be cheaper, I would like to experience it." Schiller also walked onto the wooden platform of the pier and looked into the distance. Looking at the fishing boats one after another, he had to admit that it was still very unique.

Generally speaking, the cost of fishing in the sea is quite high. At least most families who come for vacation cannot afford to rent a fishing boat. That is something only rich people can play.

This tourism project launched by Blüdhaven is a bit like a simple beggar's version. The fishing boat is an ordinary wooden boat with a motor. The fishermen on the boat are local fishermen. They use this kind of boat to catch fish for a lifetime, and the fishing nets they use are also small. It's not high-end goods, some of them are a bit tattered.

But what can be seen is that almost every fishing boat is carrying tourists, and they are having a good time. Even though the speed of this kind of fishing boat is far from being called trawling, the netting is entirely dependent on luck. There weren't many fish down there, but most tourists, especially those with families, had a great time.

Schiller began to admire the wisdom of Mayor Blüdhaven. You must know that in this era, most of the tourism industry is prepared for the rich. Many tourist cities have not changed their minds and the projects provided are not close to the people. .

In most seaside tourist cities, except for the free use of the beach, there are high fees for any activities in the sea, such as sea fishing, diving, etc.

"Okay, sir, three dollars, okay?"

"The most I can offer is two dollars and fifty cents. Of course I can give you an extra fifty cents as a tip, just treat you as a dinner treat." Schiller smiled, reached out and patted the little tour guide boy on the shoulder, and said: " Go find me a boat."

The little boy cheered and ran down the pier to the beach. After a while, he found a boat for Schiller. He ran to Schiller and showed off: "Sir, I bet that no one will Like me, you can find a boat that suits your needs! ”

"You said before that you are a university professor, so you should be able to talk to young people better, but most of the fishermen here are very old. Sometimes, I also have a headache because of their stubborn temper. I'm afraid you won't be able to talk. Come on, so I found the only younger fisherman here..."

"My Iceberg Beauty Wife"

"Come here, Viking. This is Professor Rodriguez. My new client is a very generous university professor. He wants to experience it on your fishing boat and get him a good fish. I will treat you to dinner later. "

As soon as Schiller turned his head, he saw the person the little boy was calling. He was naked at the top and wearing a pair of shorts on the lower body, revealing a toned body like a sculpture. His hair was golden and his sideburns were very long until they were close to him. The beard on the corner of the jaw is connected, but there is no beard on the chin, which makes him look wild and wild.

He first looked at Schiller with his eagle-like eyes, then moved his body to the side, leaving a space for Schiller, pointed to his ship, and said, "Come on."

Schiller looked down at his feet. At this time, he was still standing on the beach, and the fishing boat was floating on the sea. It was now at least three meters away from him. He opened his mouth and then asked: "How to get on?"

The little tour guide boy next to him slapped his forehead and shouted to the man: "Why did you forget it again?! Where is the ladder? What old Wilander told you before about the rules for treating tourists? Forgot?"

As if he had just remembered, the man on the boat took a piece of plank from the boat. After anchoring the ship, he put the plank down, and Schiller walked up the plank.

Schiller turned around and waved to the little boy who was the tour guide. He felt the boat under his feet began to shake. The blond man seemed a little silent. Schiller walked to the side of the boat curiously, and then the man said in a buzzing voice. : "Don't stare at the sea all the time, you'll get seasick."

Schiller slowly looked away and asked him: "I heard from my tour guide that your name is Viking? This should be your nickname, right?"

"Yes, but I don't like it very much. I'm not a pirate." The Viking walked to the cabin and started to organize the tools. He asked: "Do you want to use a fishing rod or a trawl net?"

"Let's fish first. Can you help me find a good fishing spot?" Schiller said. The Viking squatted down and began to arrange the fishing lines and fishing rods. While doing so, he said: "You're not here for me." At that time, there were more people now, and the good fishing spots were all occupied. I know a few other good fishing spots..."

"Oh, I know, if my catch today is not bad, I will be happy to tip half as much." Schiller walked up and squatted down, looking at the fishing rods of different lengths and said.

"No, I'm not asking for a tip. I just want to say that those fishing spots are more troublesome and may require you to have better fishing skills."

The Vikings began to arrange the fishing line, but Schiller stood up and looked at the sea. Just as the Vikings said, almost all the places on the sea are now occupied by fishing boats, and the place where the Vikings are moving forward now Direction, there is no boat.

"My fishing skills aren't great, but they're not bad either. We can go over and try. If we really can't catch anything, forget it. I don't really like fish anyway." Schiller shrugged, appearing to be very talkative. , but the Viking raised his head and glanced at him in surprise. The Viking asked proactively:

"Are you a university professor? Which university do you teach at?"

"Gotham University."

The fishing line in the Viking's hand turned into a tangled mess.
