When I arrived at the pier outside the sea, I drove onto the speedboat, Beihai, heading towards the closest island of Onealewu.∽↗∽↗, there is a very large village on this island. It is more suitable to say that it is a tribe than a village. Almost all the indigenous people on the island speak Fijian. Of course, as more and more islanders are educated, some people in the village understand English, but the English of these people is really not easy to speak.

Now every time Bei Hai buys fruit, he will directly look for the village chief. In the past, he was the leader of the tribe. He could barely communicate with Bei Hai after learning English for a while. As for the rest of the village, Bei Hai only said hello, and he would gesture with his hands when buying things.

Like in China, people in the countryside yearn for the colorful life of big cities, while people living in the city want to go to the countryside to find a spiritual paradise. However, it is obvious that the young people on the island of Onealewu belong to the former, and eight of them yearn for life in the capital.

The village is located on the shore of a naturally formed harbor on the island. Although there is no big ship dock, there is no problem with speedboats like Beihai. They docked the boat next to the earth dam and threw the small iron anchor on the boat on the earth dam. Beihai tilted the key and got off the boat.

Bei Hai got off the boat and the kids from the tribe crawled up the speedboat. Bei Hai did not stop him because there were almost no things that the little kids could destroy on his speedboat.

"bula!" Every time Bei Hai saw someone, he would greet him with a smile.

People in Jifei are generally quite simple. Of course, Behai came to this conclusion based on the people on the Onealewu Island whom he had contacted the most. As for the capital Suvabehai, he has only been there once or left after signing the island purchase agreement. He doesn't know much about the people there.

bula is a commonly used word for Fijians to say hello, in addition to hello, it also means to wish you good health and longevity. Anyway, it is quite auspicious. Just say this when you meet a Fijian.

"bula!" Everyone who saw Bei Hai's tribe also greeted Bei Hai with a smile.

While greeting people, Bei Hai walked towards the village chief or chief's house of this village. The village was not very big in just a few minutes and could walk from one end to the other. He soon arrived at the village chief's house.

It makes sense that Mi'er and Dou'er are unwilling to come. Just like this, Beihai met three pigs, two sheep and one cow on the road. Moreover, there is no road in the village, just as Mr. Lu Xun said: There is no road in this world, and more people walk, it becomes a road. This is how the roads in the village are done. As for seeing a bunch of livestock from time to time, it is naturally not surprising.

This is the original tribal situation. As for those who have been cleaned up and there are people singing and dancing for you, it is unlikely to think about it with your brain. Because people have to be busy with their lives. Although fruits are indispensable on tropical islands all year round, people cannot live by eating fruits alone. Fishes have to be harvested in the sea, shellfish have to be harvested in the sea, pigs and cows, and even if fruits want high yields, they have to be devoted to their energy.

"bula!" The village chief and his family had just finished lunch together. When they saw Bei Hai reaching the door, they immediately greeted Bei Hai.

Most of the residents on the Onai Alewu Island still maintain some primitive living habits, just like when eating, a whole family sits directly on the ground. Of course, the place is usually covered with wooden boards. Although the floor is not smooth and beautiful like the one seen in China, it is better than natural and pollution-free. Generally speaking, when men, women and children, they also separate according to the taste of the food, such as whether they drink or not.

"bula!" Bei Hai greeted the family and took off his shoes at the door. He put them aside and then walked into the room.

Here, the sea is very important and sacred. For Fijians, it is very rude to not take off their shoes at home. It is a disrespect to the owner, and they cannot touch the head of a child because the head is very important and sacred. And once you enter the tribe, you cannot wear hats or sunglasses, and women cannot wear arms or sleeveless clothes. The skirt must also be covered below the knees. Of course, this is all noticeable in tribes. There are no such rules in various resorts.

After sitting down, Bei Hai took off the bag on his shoulder, then took out two bottles of white wine and two ham from the bag, and brought gifts to the other party, which was also a friendly expression, which would make it easier to deepen the relationship between everyone.

"Hai! Come and drink your arms!" The old village chief looked at Bei Hai and said happily, while picking up the wine arms and pouring a glass of wine for Bei Hai.

To be honest, Bei Hai didn't want to drink this wine, not because it was not good, but because these Fijians squatted together to drink, no matter how many people were drinking, they only had one wine. Then they poured a glass of people and handed it to someone in a circle. That is, everyone's mouth was once in the circle of men sitting in the room.

Bei Hai couldn't say that it was no. I was not interested in using a cup with everyone. He was rude to this thing, so he had to take it and raise his head and pour the wine into his mouth, and then handed it to the village chief.

"What's wrong with this time, Hai?" The old village chief's name is Banubanu, with repeated syllable names like Banubanu, are very common here. It is probably like Weiwei in the three words "Bai Hai's wife Li Weiwei", just called it casually.

"Buy a batch of fruits" Bei Hai directly explained the purpose of the trip: "It's about enough for one to two weeks to eat." Now, with the people coming here, the purchase volume this time will not be small. More than 200 kilograms of various fruits include almost all the fruits produced on the island of Uenai Alewu, and more than 20 kilograms of dried almond fruits are added.

"What are there?" Banubanu asked Beihai.

Bei Hai took out the order that my mother prepared for him, and then started to read it. The more than thirty or forty pounds and the less than 5 or 6 pounds, there were a total of more than ten kinds.

After hearing this, Banubanu said, "Lime, banana, and mango are available at the back now, and are about to be transported out of the island. Grapes, avocados and pineapples are going to be picked and chopped, and I have to wait for a while."

"no problem!".

The pace of life here is very slow, and time is abundant for the people on the island. There is nothing wrong with Beihai anyway, so just wait.

As he spoke, Banubanu and Beihai wrote down what was still bad, and then handed it over to his son to ask him to take someone to help Beihai get these things that were not there.

Generally speaking, people here will not help people pick this little fruit, but Bei Hai brings some small gifts every time he comes over. Although the gifts are not too expensive, the total is only about 200 yuan. However, in the eyes of the Banubanu family, even if they are friends, they are still quite happy to satisfy their friends' requirements.

A group of people went to help Bei Hai pick fruits, while the rest were tidying up tableware and other things. Only Bei Hai and Banubanu sat on the floor and talked about the price for three or five words. After talking about the price, they continued to chat.

Banubanu asked to Beihai, "No one has come to your resort yet?"

"Well, I think this year is a bit dangerous," Bei Hai said directly. Bei Hai had agreed with Banubanu that all the fruits in the resort were ordered from him. However, the development of the resort now exceeded Bei Hai's expectations. Originally, Bei Hai thought that even if there were not many people coming, there should be one or two of Xiaoyu Xiaoshang, and then slowly started to make it based on reputation. But now it seems that there are not even "microorganisms" not to mention fish and shrimp, so how can you not let Bei Hai sigh?

"Is your price a little too high?" said Banubanu. After more than 300,000 US dollars a week, Banubanu almost fainted when he heard this price for the first time. He may not have earned more than 300,000 US dollars in his lifetime. He can only stay on the next island for two weeks?

Bei Hai said: "A piece of goods cost per cent. If there is no one, there will be no one. There will always be someone coming in the future." Bei Hai is still quite confident now.

Banubanu said directly: "I also hope that your business can get better. In that case, there is no need to transport the fruits and some agricultural products on our island to Suva. You should think of more solutions. I am very anxious to wait here, and the people in the village are also looking forward to this trouble."

This clearly shows that the old man is just a scheming person who says whatever he says. Bei Hai smiled and said that he didn't agree to this matter. Instead, he talked about his own plans. It was not that Bei Hai was trying to trouble, but that the people in this tribe were very simple. If you agree to it casually, they would feel that you were cheating on them, so Bei Hai chose to say it clearly.

After chatting for more than an hour, people came back after leaving the four-wheeled wooden cart. They were all picked up by Bei Hai. Bei Hai knew at a glance that they didn't have to worry about not having enough weight. These hospitable tribes probably added a little to the original weight. This business is much more honest than the outside businessmen.

Before leaving, Bei Hai remembered something, that is, Bei Hai is not used to the pigs raised on the island. These pigs are the kind of European big white pigs that can grow meat, and it is not at all suitable for Bei Hai's taste.

"By the way, Banubanu, ask if anyone here is willing to change to Chinese black pigs. I will buy all the meat. The meat is better, but it is a little longer than the pigs you raise now, about eleven months longer," Bei Hai asked.

When I heard about this, Banubanu immediately shook his head like a rattle: "If you don't raise it, you won't raise it! We have been used to these pigs, and we have raised them for almost two hundred years."

"I understand!" Bei Hai also understood that these tribes had been used to the process of living step by step, so he might as well find another way. Seeing that the east he wanted to get on the boat, he said goodbye to Banubanu and left Onealewu Island and sailed towards home.
