Chapter 357: Seeking Caviar_2
Near the estuary and even in the Pacific, there can be salmon, but these salmon have no eggs inside.
It's during the salmon's journey upstream that they slowly produce eggs inside their bodies, and when they reach the spawning grounds, the female fish lay their eggs.
So, if you want to catch salmon by hand and taste the roe, you need to follow the salmon and head upstream along the river.
When the salmon's bodies change from silver to dark red, it means they are close to the spawning grounds, and at that time, their bodies are full of eggs.
So, if they want to taste fresh roe, they can just follow the salmon upstream. When the salmon change color, it's time to enjoy the roe.
"No problem, that tricycle should be similar to an electric tricycle."
Li Xiaopeng felt very confident about the tricycle; while his driving skills weren't perfect, he could at least drive smoothly without issue.
Of course, renting a small car was also an option, but Russia is vast and sparsely populated, which results in poor road conditions in some areas, making it unsuitable for small cars.
In this case, renting a small car seemed impractical, although the three could also drive a small car and use flying fish to find traces of salmon.
But doing so would lose a lot of fun; experiencing it firsthand always feels more authentic.
In fact, renting a motorcycle would be more convenient and quick, but Lin Yang fancied the tricycle.
The Kamchatka Peninsula is vast and sparsely populated, and even around this port, it's not as developed as in Europe and America. The group circled around but couldn't find a single taxi.
There were no buses either.
This is a rather underdeveloped port.
With no other options, more modern ports are far from the rivers and require detours, so they chose a slightly remote area.
Without taxis or buses, the three stood at the port entrance, ready to flag down another vehicle to get to a nearby town.
"Hey, Davari! Can you take us to the town?"
They didn't speak Russian, so they had to repeat this sentence in English.
However, perhaps because the area was so remote, they hadn't encountered anyone who understood English.
Without communication, they couldn't ask for help.
Until a small truck purchasing seafood was stopped by the two.
Lin Yang continued repeating the sentence in English, and the small truck driver looked confused. But unlike others who had simply left after not understanding, the driver didn't leave.
Instead, he pulled out his phone, opened a translation app, typed some words, and then showed it to Lin Yang.
The phone displayed: I don't understand what you're saying, but you can use a translation app to convert your text to Russian.
"Oh shoot, how did I forget about this!"
Seeing the truck driver's way of handling things, Lin Yang slapped his forehead in sudden realization.
He then followed suit, took out his phone, opened translation software, entered the previous sentence, converted it to Russian, and showed it to the truck driver.
This time, the inputted text was in Chinese, not English.
Seeing the Chinese on his phone, the truck driver was obviously startled before asking in broken Chinese, "Hua Country person?"
Upon hearing the truck driver's peculiar Chinese accent, Lin Yang and his group were taken aback for a moment, then responded with some anticipation, "Yes, we are all from Hua Country. Do you speak Chinese?"
If the driver spoke Chinese, it would be wonderful and would save a lot of trouble.
But things didn't go as hoped. The truck driver shook his head, said "hello" in Chinese, and then continued translating his text using the phone.
"I only know a few simple phrases in Chinese, but I don't understand it. Do you two want to go to the town? I can give you a ride."
Seeing this, Lin Yang had to keep using the translation software on his phone to communicate with the truck driver.
"Thank you so much; we've tried flagging down several cars here, but due to the language barrier, we haven't been able to leave."
"Let's go, my truck is a bit messy, hope you don't mind, friends from Hua Country."
The small truck was filled with the smell of the sea, a scent Lin Yang and company were quite familiar with. Long absent, the sudden encounter with it felt nostalgic.
As the truck driver drove, there wasn't much opportunity for further conversation.
The vehicle headed towards the town, with the sound system playing the Russian song Katyusha.
"Just when pear blossoms spread across the horizon, a soft veil floats over the river;
Katyusha stands on the steep bank, singing a song like the bright spring sunshine..."
Listening to the Russian "Katyusha," the three of them softly hummed along in Chinese.
The birch trees along the roadside flew by rapidly, accompanying the melody.
However, after Katyusha ended, they didn't recognize the next song. Though the melody felt familiar, they couldn't hum along.
Feeling bored, Yue'er took out her phone to check how far away they were from the town, only to suddenly notice the small truck had veered off the planned route, heading towards a small village.
"Brother Yang, the route the truck is taking seems wrong; ahead is a village, not the town we wanted to go to, it's off course."
After noticing this abnormality, she immediately informed Lin Yang.
