When I walked into Guangming Port, I saw several black-topped river boats moored under Guangming Bridge. There were some small fishing boats not far away. Su Min led everyone to the east and shouted loudly, "

Fu Bu Er, Fu Bu Er.”

"Here, Mr. Su, you're here." He bowed his head from the cabin and walked out of a boatman. He pulled out a pedal from the board and put it on the pier, and he also wanted to help Su Minyou. Su Minyou threw it away.

He opened his hand and did not want to leave an old impression in front of Huangshi.

Huang Shi and others followed Su Minyou off the boat. Seeing that everyone had already boarded the boat, Su Minyou ordered the boatman to drive the boat. The boatman and his wife pulled the front oar and the other pulled the back oar. Fu Buer was on the bridge.

As soon as he knocked on the stone, he opened the boat and retreated a few feet later, his wife gently tapped the boat, and the boat went forward and left the bridge again.

Su Min invited Huangshi to sit in the cabin, but Huangshi lost interest when he saw the low and dim cabin. He would rather stay at the bow of Su Min and blow the river breeze.

"When will this ship arrive at Langqi Island?" Huangshi looked at the two groups of people gathered in the boat, the two groups were clearly divided. One group was the servants recruited by Huangshi, and the other group was the original mates from the Four Seas.

Now they are all considered his people. Huangshi's original subordinates were all wearing brand new and unified blue short brown, and they were just talking and laughing in a low voice, while the guys traveling around the world were wearing various worn clothes, at the stern of the boat

There was a loud laugh and laughter over there, and occasionally one or two guys were talking dirty to the boat girl.

"Sir, if the weather is smooth, it will only take one hour, and it will probably take 10 o'clock." Su Min took out the old-fashioned pocket watch sent by Huangshi, but was still a little uncomfortable with the numbers above. After looking at it for a while, he came to such a conclusion

, because not only that number is from Taisie, but the hour on this table is only half an hour, so it has to be converted for a while before you know it.

"Well, that's OK. After arriving in Langqi, we will go to the manager Lin you mentioned after dinner, and then go to Dongluo Island in the afternoon." Huang Shi said that, looking at the hairs that were as thick as weeds.

The Sihaixing staff asked Su Minyou, "How come you guys look so poor?" Huang Shi's men knew that he liked neatness and his clothes were changed every three or four days, and the Sihaixing staff members

Obviously not the case, I don’t know how many days I haven’t washed those clothes.

"It made the gentleman laugh. These brothers did not start a family and started a business. After having some money, they were also Hu Hua. There was no woman in the family to help clean up, so they naturally became so sloppy." Su Min's face was a little clear after making a comparison.

After a while, the boat left Guangming Port. Fu Buer set up two oars and each one with his family. Because there were more than a dozen people on the boat, the boat was a little difficult to go, and the guys laughed.

We stepped forward to help, and everyone was talking and laughing. The boat was thrust with the sound of water sensation on the bow of the boat. In the river with white sails on both sides, we were flying radially towards Langqi Island.

After nearly an hour, we arrived in Langqi. The seafood here is very famous in modern times. Huangshi asked Qiu Dago to talk to Fu Buer, borrowed the stove on their boat and let them catch a few sea fish.

Make fresh soup.

When Qiu Da’s dry rice was almost boring, Fu Buer brought back a few sea fish. It was quite large, but the number was pitifully small. Huangshi was a little strange, but after seeing the fishing nets they used,

I understand that their fishing nets were just made of coarse cloth, some old clothes, and some rough and cheap linens to make a simple fishing net, and the holes were also very large.

.

Fang Laoliu, a friend from Sihaixing, held the big porcelain bowl of rice in his hand, and looked at the bowl of fresh fish soup on the other side. He thought to himself that Mr. Huang, the new owner, was really generous. When Mr. Chen was in charge of the family, he was also considered a person.

They are generous, but they can only eat two bowls of shredded potato rice and a piece of salted fish or bacon.

There is now Mr. Huang who actually gave them more than a dozen people to eat white rice, and even the two boatmen served them. When Qiu Da was serving the rice, he told them that he could cook it if he didn't have enough food.

But Fang Laoliu was a little murmured in his heart, can the few tans of rice brought by Qiu Da and others be eaten so openly?

After dinner, I found the sea ship where Manager Li was docked by the king. Qiu Da now temporarily acted as the housekeeper of Huangshi. He gave Fu Buer's family two taels of silver. Among their thanks, Huangshi and others

When people boarded the sailing boat, they found that this boat was very different from the Chinese sailing boats seen by modern rivers. The bow of the boat was particularly square and wide. Not only did the shape of the boat have changed, but the length has also increased by nearly twice.

, at least twenty meters, four or five meters wide, and the displacement is estimated to be thirty or forty tons.

Huang Shi was particularly envious when he remembered that when he was young, he saw a sailboat shuttle on the river "bang bang bang", and he thought that he could take such a boat when he grew up, but today he saw this.

Fu Ship, he felt a little disappointed.

Manager Li's ship was old from beginning to end. The large and small patches on the sails made of bamboo strips and the sail ropes made of hemp ropes were also very old. The winch used for lifting sails was also

Wooden wheels, two bowl-sized masts stand on the head and the middle deck, the stern is a cabin with three levels of upper and lower sterns, and the bow now only has a rust-spotted anchor, the other

Maybe it was sunk into the water.

Su Min accompanied Huangshi to follow the strings and then asked Huangshi to sit in the cabin with Huangshi's tail. Then he knew that he could smell a stinking smell as soon as he arrived at the cabin door, "Your boat won't be able to do it."

That's the same!" Huangshi couldn't stand the smell, so he stopped in front of the cabin door. If there were fleas and mice inside, it would be even more uncomfortable, so he simply said, "Let's stand here for a while."

...

After the person in charge of manager Li got off the boat, Su Minyou shouted the guys to play the boatman of the sea boat. First, six men came to the wheel and shouted horns and raised the sail, and some seagulls were also

The flying sound came to cheer up, and the yellow and patched sail rose, like a piece of rusty iron sheet being slowly straightened.

Huangshi stood on the stern building and watched the people look like tug of war again, shouting horns and slowly pulling up the anchor rope. Finally, under the caress of the sea breeze, the sea boat slowly left the coastline of the king's head, taking advantage of the situation.

Driving into the sea.

The wind and waves on the sea are just right for a long voyage. Looking around, it is blue, with little ups and downs under your feet, and people don’t feel uncomfortable. However, when Huangshi saw that the people in Qiujiazhuang were obviously pale, he spoke to them, “Why are you?

Don't go to the cabin to rest?"

Qiu Da shook his head and said, "Master, there are so dark in the cabin. There are still many mice running around inside, smelling like a pig's nest. I don't know how those boatmen can bear it."

"Haha", Huang Shi also laughed after hearing this. It seemed that this was not his own feeling. He had just asked Su Min, the original sea boat that traveled to the four seas was a little bigger than this one, but hygienic

The situation is not much better than this one.

It seems that the sea ships of this era do not pay much attention to the hygiene of ships, and they usually do not arrange people to take care of the parasites attached to the hull, so this kind of ship will travel slower and slower until it is overhauled.

Seeing that the guys traveling around the world were busy, and they couldn't help, and the cabin was not easy to enter, Huangshi took out a few plastic stools from the light gate and handed them to everyone, "Come on, everyone."

Let's sit down and rest. It will be very uncomfortable when the storm is getting heavy." Originally, Huangshi wanted to prepare some seasickness medicine, but later he saw that he had to take it two hours in advance before boarding the boat, and this medicine had certain side effects.

I had to give up my mind.

Fortunately, when Huangshi went to buy food last night, he went to the bulk snack area to buy a few large bags of plums. It seemed that this could cure some dizziness, so he took out one of the small bags and handed it to Qiu Da, "

Come on, you guys are all landslides, and each of you takes a plum in your mouth, which may be better.”

"Wow, master, what kind of plums are so delicious?" Qiu Xiaoniu smiled happily. This was the first time he had eaten this kind of snack when he grew up. It was sour and sweet, and it was really a long aftertaste.

"Little bastard, the master's things are naturally delicious. You dare to ask for them." It turned out that it was Qiu Xiaoniu who was eating. He wanted to reach out to the bag of plum blossoms in Qiu Da's hand.

Go, Qiu Da was beaten back suddenly, and then Qiu Xiaoniu was jealous of Qiu Da’s eyes and returned the plums to Huang Shi.

Huangshi did not take it, "Qiu Da, go and give this bag of plums to Lao Su and the others." Huangshi estimated the amount of plums, according to every 20 sub-contracts, so I was not afraid of not having enough people to share.

Now he is the boss of the entire Sihai Travel, so his opponents naturally have to start treating them equally.

After Qiu Da came back after a walk around, he returned the remaining bag of plums to Huangshi, "Don't give it back to me, you can keep it first. If someone is dizzy and disgusting, you can give him another pill.

”

"Oh." Qiu packed the bag of plums tightly into his arms, and then sat down, "Master, how long will our ship sail?"

"I think it will take at least four hours." Huang Shi was actually very unpredictable. He just calculated the distance according to the straight line on the map. Because this ancient lucky ship seemed short and fat, and the aspect ratio was relatively large.

So even if the sails are full of wind, the speed is not optimistic, which is 4 or 5 knots. However, according to the information, Huangshi learned that the fastest speed of modern Western sailing can reach 20 knots.

Maybe it is because there is no good positioning tool or other reasons. The ships under the command of Su Min sailed south along the winding coastline. Sometimes due to changes in the wind direction, the ships had to constantly let the rudder adjust their course in order to obtain the driving force of the wind.

Walking in a zigzag on the sea, this greatly slowed down the speed of navigation. After walking for most of the day, I found that I didn't go far, which really made people a little disappointed. Huangshi wanted to install 24 horses for it.
