Camp Alette was able to provide so little food that they had to rely on planes for supplies until the Smith Strait thawed completely.
Therefore, the most common ingredients here are some flour, rice, deep-frozen meat and dehydrated vegetables, although there are many styles, but if they eat these things almost every day, even the delicacies of the mountains and seas are estimated to have faded out of their mouths.
The things Yang Jing brought were undoubtedly delicacies to the people in the camp.
Not to mention, the hundreds of kilograms of fresh vegetables alone have become the most sought-after things in the camp, and they are even more popular than top ingredients such as Australian Wagyu beef and Dongtao chicken.
Especially when these guys saw the red tomatoes, green broccoli, small rape, fuchsia onions, and fresh cabbage, they were like arctic wolves who had been hungry for a cold season, and their eyes couldn't wait for a foot-long green light.
These vegetables were replenished by Andre and Lin Dan in Nuuk, but some vegetables could not be kept for too long, even at the most suitable temperatures, so these vegetables were cheaper for the camp people.
In fact, most of the ingredients pulled from the Blue Whale are mainly fresh vegetables, followed by frozen seafood, and very little meat or anything is pulled over.
There is no shortage of meat at Camp Alert, what they lack is fresh vegetables and seafood.
Fresh vegetables are understandable, after all, they don't grow here even on the hottest summer days.
Seafood, however, is also sorely lacking.
There is no way, although Alert is on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, there is no dock here, and there are no fishing boats, so there is no way to go out to sea to fish.
Pointing to fishing with a fishing rod, then you can't starve all these people to death?
That's why seafood is also extremely popular here.
Yang Jing and the ingredients they brought over were two hundred kilograms, and this was what Andre said when he was in Nuuk that he would stop at Alert, and after the people over there liked these ingredients the most, Yang Jing specially asked Lin Dan to add more vegetables and seafood.
For these people, these ingredients are at most a matter of two meals.
But it doesn't matter, there are so many supplies on the Blue Whale that even if Yang Jing and them are stationed here for a month, they can afford the consumption here.
"Albert, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, we would have to wait at least twenty days before we could eat fresh vegetables."
Old Kyle walked to Yang Jing with a glass of wine, and stood side by side with Yang Jing to watch the people around the campfire dance happily, dozens of Alaskan Malamutes ran around excitedly in the crowd, barking from time to time.
These cute baby dogs were brought by the four guys who trekked across the North American continent, more than 60 in total, and the four of them would not have been able to complete the trek across the North American continent without these brave baby dogs.
At least in the Arctic archipelago in winter, they would not have been able to cover thousands of miles without dog sledding.
These puppies are obviously well cared for, all fat and strong, and they are very familiar with the people in the camp.
With their presence, the camp is also more vibrant.
"It's nothing, Kyle, you guys are doing research here, you deserve the respect of people all over the world, I just happened to be passing by here and did what I was supposed to do."
Yang Jing turned his head and looked at this respectable old scholar very sincerely.
"So, how long are you going to stay here?
I heard Andre say that you went to sea this time to go on vacation with your fiancée.
If that's the case, I'd suggest you stay here a little longer.
Now and for some time to come, it's the best time to see walruses, seals and of course polar bears.
If you're lucky, you might even see whales.
The Arctic Ocean in the warm season is still very interesting.
If you'd like to head west to the Cutinier Park National Park, you can get up close and personal with the permafrost glaciers, and if you wish, you can go hunting there.
This is the season when the Arctic wolves follow the Arctic rabbit and the arctic fox north, and those murderous creatures need to be dealt with with with shotguns. ” Yang Jing asked, "Don't you need a hunting license to hunt here?"
” "Of course not, I can't even see a human shadow here, what are you doing with that?
And these Arctic wolves are dangerous, and every year some Arctic wolves come into the camp, but luckily we have guns here, and there are a few real soldiers to the north.
Ensign Rodman alone hunted seven Arctic wolves last year.
It's a pity that the wolf meat is not delicious."
Yang Jing smiled, raised his glass and touched it with Old Kyle, "I do plan to stay here for a few more days, of course, if you don't think we bother." ” Old Kyle took a sip of his wine, "How is that possible?"
There used to be two hundred people here, but now there are only twenty of us, and we can find a few rooms and pack them all up.
It's okay if you want to stay here as long as you want, no one will say anything.
People here want as many people as possible, and we've been here for too long, so lonely. ” Yang Jing smiled: "Since this is the case, then we will bother." ” Old Kyle pointed to the dancing crowd and asked, "Why don't you go down and dance together?"
This can make your mood happier and help release some of the negative emotions that have accumulated during the voyage. ” Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about this, so I can only watch them dance."
Before he finished speaking, Gege ran over, grabbed Yang Jing and pulled him into the field.
Yang Jing had no choice but to put the wine glass aside, and followed Gege a little clumsily. it, if you can jump or not, just be happy.
So Yang Jing followed like a polar bear.
It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun was still circling in the sky.

In this season of Alet, there is no such thing as night.
So the temperature here is actually not too low, as long as there is no cold wave, even the lowest temperature of the day is only minus three or four degrees.
And the high temperature can sometimes climb to minus 178 degrees, and even now, it is estimated that it looks like more than 10 degrees.
So Yang Jing jumped for a while, then took off his coat and completely integrated into the carnival.
The party lasted until almost twelve o'clock, and many people got drunk.
Yang Jing also drank a lot, but he had the skill of feeding back, and he could dispel the alcohol with a little operation.
Gege patronized and played, and he didn't eat less, but he didn't drink much.
Originally, Gege was quite excited to hear that he could live in the Alert camp, after all, this is the northernmost human settlement in the world, and ordinary people can't even come here, let alone live here, so Gege is still very interested in living here.
It's a pity that I can't stay here tonight.
There were indeed quite a few spare rooms in Camp Allett, and the people in the camp had cleaned some of the rooms early after learning that the Blue Whale was coming.
But these rooms have everything, just no bedding In desperation, Yang Jing and the others could only return to the Blue Whale again, and bring the futon or something when they came back the next day.
The next day the weather was still very good, and everything was fine in Alet, as long as there was no cold snap.
In the warm-season there is almost no snow in Alert, with only the occasional light rain.
The next day, Yang Jing and Gege lived in a very neat room.
This room is not very large, but it is in good condition inside, and it is said that this room was once a house for a couple of settlers.
There was a large bed, a kitchen and bathroom, and to Gege's greatest surprise, there was also a hot water pipe in the bathroom connected to the camp's oil-fired boiler.
As long as you want to take a bath, you can take a hot bath every minute.
Not to mention that there is a huge bathtub in the corner of the bathroom In the past, Alert didn't worry about oil at all, but in the past two years, because of the tight budget, the government department has put the problem of oil on the table.
But no matter how it is placed, the oil here still needs to be fully supplied.
Kidding aside, if you want to hold on to the settlement of Alert, plenty of fuel is essential.
Heating, heating, and power generation here are inseparable from fuel in many ways.
If anyone dares to get stuck in the oil, then do you want this settlement?
Are you really like those white Canadians and Inuit?
The Inuit can live here without fuel, but those white people can't stay for even two weeks without oil!
Because there is no shortage of fuel at the Alat camp, it is a luxury to provide hot water 24 hours a day!
As for fresh water, there is no shortage here.
Although Alert is close to the Arctic Ocean, it is still more than ten kilometers away from the sea.
So the groundwater here is very rich.
In the winter, the snow melts and boils for use, and in the warm season, when the snow covering the ground melts, the groundwater level rises so much that the two wells in the camp are almost artesian In fact, strictly speaking, in addition to being lonely, the living conditions here are quite good.
For example, the camp has its own gym, recreation room, bar, and even a small cinema, which is technically a pretty good choice for a short vacation.
At least Gege fell in love with it after coming here for two days.
But she likes that she can play here casually, so Yang Jing can't do that.
After settling down in the past two days, Yang Jing began to take Chris and them, piloting the "Antarctic Tern", the helicopter on the Blue Whale, to start searching in the vast area west and south of Alert.
