"Is it Mr. Xiao, hello, I'm He Jindong, the captain of the Ice Dragon." The captain came up and reported to himself, and then said bluntly: "The Ice Dragon will be able to dock at the Wusong Port Wharf in about three hours, when will you arrive?" ”

"Hello, Captain Ho." Xiao Ping greeted the other party first, and replied very simply: "At most, I will be able to rush to the port in an hour and a half, and I believe that it will not delay the Ice Dragon too much." ”

Xiao Ping's crisp and neat answer made He Jindong more satisfied, and he quickly asked: "Mr. Xiao, can I ask what kind of cargo is on board?" In this way, I can adjust the temperature of the cold storage according to the requirements of the goods. ”

The temperature of the cold storage is Xiao Ping's main concern at the moment, and he immediately replied: "It's about two tons of bluefin tuna, and I think we may need a cold storage with a relatively low temperature." ”

Bluefin tuna is originally a very valuable cargo, and it actually has to be transported two tons at once, so after listening to Xiao Ping's words, He Jindong was also secretly taken aback.

He Jindong has been the captain of the refrigerated transport ship Ice Dragon for more than ten years, and naturally knows the temperature requirements for the preservation of various goods, and immediately said: "We have vacated the best cold storage on the ship, and I will now ask the first mate to adjust the temperature of the cold storage, I believe that after the goods are on board, the temperature of the cold storage will definitely be below minus 60 degrees." ”

As soon as he heard He Jindong's words, he knew that he was an expert, Xiao Ping didn't say much, and hung up the phone after expressing his gratitude to the other party.

The refrigerated truck drove on the highway and finally arrived outside the Wusongkou wharf. This is a foreign trade terminal, but not everyone can enter it casually. Fortunately, Xiao Ping had the foresight and had already completed all the formalities. After checking all the certificates, the refrigerated truck finally drove slowly into the dock.

Xiao Ping stopped and waited next to Pier 7, which had been promised in advance. It is an important port in Shencheng. The boats coming in and out were very busy, about an hour later. A freighter slowly approached the dock, and the sharp-eyed Xiao Ping had already seen the three big words on the bow of the ship - "Ice Dragon".

Under the command of He Jindong, the Ice Dragon slowly docked and stood firmly next to Pier 7. A dark-faced middle-aged man walked down the gangway quickly, and when he saw Xiao Ping standing next to the refrigerated truck, he immediately strode towards him.

The man took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said, "You are Mr. Xiao, I am He Jindong." ”

"Hello Captain Ho." Xiao Ping politely shook hands with the other party and said, "It's really troublesome for you to let the Ice Dragon change its route to transport my goods this time, I'm really sorry." ”

Speaking from the heart, He Jindong was indeed very dissatisfied with the company's request for the Ice Dragon to temporarily change its route. However, this was an order personally given by the big boss Mr. Lin, and He Jindong naturally did not dare to object. He thought that Xiao Ping could let Lin Zukang personally order the Ice Dragon to change its course, he must be a high-spirited guy with no one in his eyes, but now it seems that Xiao Ping is a very kind person, and he doesn't have any arrogance, which makes He Jindong a little surprised.

Since Xiao Ping was so polite, He Jindong naturally wouldn't give him a look, and hurriedly smiled: "You are too polite, we should load the goods as soon as possible." This will also allow you to leave the port before dark. ”

"That's the best." Xiao Ping said as he opened the door of the refrigerated truck and said, "The goods are all here." ”

Seeing a few tuna in the refrigerated truck, He Jindong was really taken aback. He thought he would see many relatively small tuna, but he never thought that there were only nine big fish in the car, which also made He Jindong sigh: "What a big bluefin tuna." No wonder Mr. Lin asked us to change the route, such a good thing really deserves special treatment. ”

He Jindong thought that Lin Zukang knew in advance what kind of goods Xiao Ping was going to transport, so he ordered the Ice Dragon to change its route. In fact, he was misunderstood. With Xiao Ping and Lin Zukang's friendship, even if he just wants to transport a frozen chicken. Lin Zukang would also not hesitate to order the Ice Dragon to pick up Xiao Ping's.

Knowing that Lu Dao wanted to transport such valuable goods, He Jindong's attitude also became serious. He called the ship's second mate and boatswain. Tell them to be careful and not to make any mistakes, so as not to affect the value of these tuna.

For the Ice Dragon, a large ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, loading a mere two tons of cargo is nothing. It didn't take long for the nine bluefin tuna to be loaded into the best place on the boat. The temperature here has reached minus 65 degrees, and tuna can be stored for a long time at such a low temperature without much impact on the quality of the fish.

After the tuna was loaded into cold storage, Xiao Ping also carried a suitcase on board. He had obtained a visa before departure, so it could not be regarded as a smuggling. Just as Xiao Ping and He Jindong had hoped, the Ice Dragon left the harbor before dark and sailed out into the vast sea.

Xiao Ping is definitely a good passenger, and after getting on the ship, he nested in the cabin prepared for him by He Jindong, and he had no intention of coming out and walking around. This made He Jindong's impression of him further better, as long as Xiao Ping didn't make trouble for others, it didn't matter if there was one more of him on the ship for the time being.

In fact, this was Xiao Ping's first time on an ocean-going ship, and he really wanted to walk around on the ship. However, from He Jindong's attitude, Xiao Ping could see that he was not a very popular passenger. Although Xiao Ping could carry out Lin Zukang to pressure He Jindong and ask him to allow him to walk around the ship, Xiao Ping knew that he couldn't do such a thing, so he could only stay in the cabin honestly.

While there was still a signal on her mobile phone, Xiao Ping called Sakurako and told her that she and the tuna had already boarded the boat, and that they would be in Tokyo in about four days. Sakurako was also very happy to receive Xiao Ping's call, and said that she would definitely come to the dock to greet him in person when the time came.

The first day of the Ice Dragon was a smooth one, but from the second day onwards, the sea was stormy and rough. He Jindong said that this is a typhoon, and every summer is the typhoon season in the North Pacific, and it is normal for ships to walk on the sea and encounter one or two typhoons. Moreover, this time the Ice Dragon is only affected by the typhoon's periphery, that is, it may be a little bumpy, and it should not be dangerous to reach its destination a little later.

Although for He Jindong, who has been the captain for many years, this encounter with the typhoon is just a trivial matter, the situation at sea is already very scary. The rough sea, with waves up to five or six meters high, caused the Ice Dragon, with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, to sway from side to side, jolting like a roller coaster that never stops.

At first, the other crew members were very interested in how Xiao Ping behaved in the stormy waves, and they all wanted to see how he made a fool of himself. This is not to say that the crew really harbored ill will towards Xiao Ping, it was purely the instinctive reaction of the old qualification to meet the novice.

However, in the next two days, Xiao Ping's performance surprised everyone, including He Jindong. (To be continued......)
