Chapter 13

The distance between Zhiyuan Mansion and Jianchang Mansion is not too far, and the Xiliu is a new ship that goes into the sea, so it is sufficient power.

In the evening of the day of going to sea, Xiliuhao had already left Zhiyuan Mansion and entered the territory of Jianchang Mansion.

With an apple in his mouth, Lu Jing took out a small gas stove from the cabin, set up an iron pot on it, and prepared for dinner. Xu Zhuo, who was standing beside him, cleaned up the sea fish that Lu Jing had caught on the side of the boat.

The wind is calm and there are no obstacles on the sea surface, so naturally no one is needed to stay in the helm.

"When we arrive at Huashu Island, we may buy an ice cream locally. We make our own ice, and we will store ingredients and fruits. It doesn't need to be too big. Two silver dollars are enough. Otherwise, it would be bad to always stuff them into a refrigerator with the caught fish."

He piled the internal organs in the fish's belly into the wooden barrel in front of his heels to serve as bait for the next fishing, Xu Zhu said without looking back.

"Ice Mirror...can't you get a refrigerator? I've heard people say that Whale Oil Energy refrigerators are quite convenient."

When I first arrived in this world, Lu Jing had not been to many places. He thought that the current technological level of this era was in the Steam Age. Later, after knowing more, he realized that the technology tree in this world was completely deformed. Some places may still remain in ancient times, but in some cities, the internal energy technology has reached a point that it was difficult for them to reach in their previous lives.

"I have to go to a special shop. I don't know if there is any on Huashu Island...Look at that!"

Halfway through his words, Xu Zhuo suddenly stood up and pointed to the front of the left. Lu Jing's eyes immediately turned over, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

It was a ship that was completely different from what Lu Jing saw so far in terms of structure and appearance.

Its deck actually carries a three-story building!

Even though it was a distance, Lu Jing could still vaguely see that the structure of the tall building was more exquisite than the best restaurants in Qingchu City. The colorful flags standing on both sides of the ship's side outside the tall building and the lanterns tied to the corners of the eaves with strings, not to mention the outer hull that painted the gorgeous pictures with colorful ink.

"Ahha~ I didn't expect to run into Youhai Flower Boat here. Captain, do you want to go over and take a look?"

Xu Zhuo obviously recognized the ship, noticed Lu Jing looking back with confusion on his face, and then explained,

"You can treat that as a mobile casino, with taverns, dance venues, shopping malls, etc. They travel between the islands. Many rich people like to sail around on such cruise ships... By the way, the boats next to them should follow them for fun, and you can board the ship as long as you pay the ticket."

"There are only two people on our boat. If they all get on, who will watch the boat?"

After staring at the Youhai Flower Boat for a while, Lu Jing suddenly felt that the green apple in his hand was not as fragrant as before. He just thought that if he boarded the boat, Xu Zhuo would have to stay behind, so he curled his lips and planned to give up.

Lu Jing would not do anything like abandoning the crew and enjoying himself. This is the ethics that a captain should have.

"There are special agents on the Youhaihua ship. With the size of our ship, 200 copper coins are enough."

Guessing Lu Jing’s thoughts, Xu Zhuo said with a smile.

Their journey has just begun. There is nothing valuable on the Xiliu No. 1 except a bag of coins. Moreover, the helmsmen of these agents have been professionally trained and signed contracts with Youhai Flower Boat. If they dare to do whatever they want on the customer's boat, the consequences will be more than just deducting their salary...

Even in midsummer, the sea water is still very cold~

"It's interesting, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and throw away the fish in your hand, let's go to that boat to eat!"

When he heard that there was a "designated driver", Lu Jing waved with his eyebrows raised.

You can go to Huashu Island at any time.

This sea-watching flower boat is not something you can encounter at any time!

......

The Youhai Flower Boat has been trying hard to welcome guests. Because the side of the boat is too high, it simply opened a hole on the left and right sides of the hull, covering it with carved wooden doors, and a one-meter-long and wide wooden board was specially extended outside as a waiting place.

"Customer, this is a copper chip that represents your identity. Remember to carry it with you. When you get off the boat, you can exchange the copper chips back, so that we can also withdraw the helmsman."

After paying the ticket fee of 100 copper coins, the young man dressed as a servant behind the door immediately handed over two copper pieces engraved with numbers, then turned sideways to give up an upward staircase, bowed and said,

"I wish the two guests a happy time!"

"I didn't expect this place to be quite sophisticated."

Lu Jing looked at the copper chips in his hand, and at the same time handed a purse and three silver dollars to Xu Zhuo, and said as he walked forward,

"Our activity fund is 6 silver dollars, and the rest are all here. I don't have a pocket to put my money bag on it. There are many people on the boat, so please help me collect it."

Three silver dollars are really a lot. If it were in the previous life, it would be 3,000 yuan. At least there would be no problem with eating and drinking on this Huahai Huaboat.

Xu Zhuo put his wallet into the pocket on the inside of his shirt, and naturally he had no objection to Lu Jing's request. After all, as a newcomer who had just gotten on the boat, the captain not only took him on the boat but was willing to treat him, which was already a sign of trust.

Going up the stairs was the deck of the Youhai Flower Boat. Lu Jing, who had just climbed up, was immediately attracted by the wooden tables placed on the deck and the barbecue tables set up around him.

At this time, there was still some time before the sunset completely sank into the sea level, but there were already many people sitting around these open-air tables. Lu Jing thought about it and wanted to lean on it to find a place, but as soon as he took a step, Xu Zhu grabbed his arm again.

"My captain... This is the seating area for the staff on the boat and some places for passengers who don't have much money to eat. The barbecue here is for guests in the building. It's really fun inside!"

"Ahem~ Let's go, hurry up and talk about it."

Noticed the surprising gazes from several simple-dressed people, Lu Jing coughed twice awkwardly and hurriedly walked towards the ship building behind under Xu Zhuo's leadership.

But before Lu Jing and the others entered the building, there was a commotion in front of them.

"My purse is gone...Hey, please help me find where the purse is. There is a golden silk Pixiu embroidered on it...it's very expensive!"

Someone's anxious voice came intermittently, sounding like he had lost his wallet.

Lu Jing glanced at him with his head and didn't care much, so he took Xu Zhuo away from the crowd. He was still hungry now and had no interest in such things.

As the crowd walked into the boat building, Lu Jing had not seen the situation on this floor clearly, and a bouquet of bouquets was blocking his face.

Subconsciously leaning back, what he saw was a young man wearing a painted cloak, a silk-edged cloth hat on his head, and a handsome face.

"Call, please learn about the close-up tricks?"

"No, I just swim and don't like fitness..."
