【Chapter 979】 Ordinary Greatness (Ask for Subscription!)

After leaving Monaco, the 'Ping' continued its voyage southeast along the Mediterranean route, stopping at some of Italy's most famous attractions and starting its tour of Italy.

Of course, the excursion is more of the action of Xiao Feng's small family, and the old people don't want to toss too much, sometimes it's good to stay on the boat.

Especially after the old people opened up the first corner of the deck into a vegetable garden, planted shallots, greens, tomatoes and other crops, they had no time to go ashore to play. The "Ping'an" is also the first luxury superyacht ever planted with a variety of vegetables, and the state of the old people who are idle is unobstructed.

As for the five people in Brooklyn, even if Xiao Feng went to play, they still had to conduct strict training under the supervision of physical fitness coaches and technical coaches.

This time, Xiao Dayi and the others boarded the ship to follow Xiao Feng to train, in addition to Xiao Feng, the key coach who taught the Five Bird Opera and Qi Refining Technique, there was also a physical fitness coach, technical coach and nutritionist to provide them with a full range of services.

Now, Brooklyn and Li Yan are the main players of Newcastle United's 17-year-old echelon, and these two years are the most critical time in their careers, so Xiao Feng naturally can't take it lightly. Not only in terms of training, but also in terms of nutrition and system adjustment, it is painstaking.

As for Romeo, Cruz and Xiao Dayi, because they are younger in their training, they have greater potential for future development, whether it is Xiao Feng or Xiaobei, they all have high hopes for them.

This summer's training will not be a one-shot deal, but will be held every year to ensure that the boys have a solid foundation when they enter European football.

Because of the children's tour, the 'Ping'an was not fast, and it was not until around July 4 that it arrived in Naples, which is located in southern Italy.

Naples is the largest city in southern Italy. The metropolitan area of 3.5 million people also makes it the third largest in Italy and the 15th largest in Europe, as well as an important port in Italy.

For ordinary Chinese, they know Napoli more because of Maradona, the king of football thirty years ago, when Maradona led the Napoli club to compete with the wealthy teams in the north, leaving an indelible mark on Serie A.

This time, the 'Ping' docked at the port of Naples. Xiao Feng took the children to the St. Paul's Stadium in the center of the city to feel the atmosphere of the football king.

Speaking of which, Napoli and Xiao Feng are still a little related, Newcastle United's first signing this summer Cavani shined from Napoli and won the Serie A Golden Boot before turning to Paris Saint-Germain.

Although England and Argentina are feuding, many English people admire Maradona's skills, and there are not a few people who regard him as an idol.

Cruz has a similar position to Maradona in the team, so he was so excited to be at the Stadio São Paulo that he couldn't sleep the night before.

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao took the children to relax for a day. Only then did I go home, and it would be hard training along the way.

In order to become a top professional footballer, in addition to talent, training beyond the average is essential!

…………

When Xiao Feng returned to the port, he unexpectedly found a very familiar Chinese freighter, and immediately recalled many memories of two years ago, and hurriedly turned out the phone and called.

"Uncle Zhou, are you in Naples?" after the phone was connected. Xiao Feng couldn't wait to ask.

Zhou Xiao was the shipyard of the 'Anyuan' freighter that transported Charlotte cattle and quinine cattle for the 'Dream Ranch', when Xiao Feng was escorting them at sea. I have formed a good relationship with these men.

Although there has not been much contact between the two sides in recent years, Xiao Feng will send various New Year's goods to Zhou Xiao, chief mate Liu Qiang and others in the shipyard every Chinese New Year, and every time they arrive at a new port, they will also send souvenirs to Los Angeles.

Xiao Feng himself didn't expect to see the 'Anyuan' in Naples, which also made him quite happy.

"That's right!" came Zhou Xiao's hearty laughter from the microphone. "We are loading at the port of Naples and will leave tomorrow to return home!"

"Huh!?How do you know that?Why are you running to the port of Naples?"

Zhou Xiao was stunned for a moment, only to find the information in Xiao Feng's words, and shouted out in surprise.

After some communication, Zhou Xiao immediately ended his shopping trip in the city center. Hurried back to the port and saw Xiao Feng on the dock.

"This is our newly bought yacht?!" Zhou Xiao said with a shocked expression as he looked at the behemoth on the berth.

As a bulk carrier with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, the "Anyuan" looks very large, but when you see the "Ping'an" with a length of more than 220 meters, it looks a little clumsy.

As a veteran of running boats, Zhou Xiao naturally knows that the cost of such a superyacht is not affordable for ordinary rich people.

During this time, Zhou Xiao and the crew have been running around at sea, so naturally they will not pay attention to the gossip news of the 'Ping'an', so when they saw it for the first time, they were somewhat taken aback.

At this time, Zhou Xiao knew why Xiao Feng appeared in the port of Naples, this kind of tonnage superyacht has no berth in the nearby yacht marina, and can only dock at the 10,000-ton berth of the cargo terminal.

"It was only delivered on the 1st of last month, and we are going to return to Los Angeles by ship!" Xiao Feng introduced the situation of the 'Ping'an' to Zhou Xiao with a smile, and said: "It's better to meet by chance, since we met, I will hold a barbecue party on the 'Ping'an' tonight, and invite the entire crew of the 'Anyuan' to come up and be guests!"

Xiao Feng knew that the income of the seafarers was actually quite good, but after drifting on the sea for a long time, they usually ate some foods with a relatively long shelf life, which could ensure nutrition, but they couldn't talk about deliciousness.

Since he met in a foreign country, Xiao Feng would not be stingy with this fee, and simply invited the crew to the 'Ping'an' to participate in the barbecue dinner.

In the face of Xiao Feng's kind invitation, Zhou Xiao, Liu Qiang and others did not postpone too much, made an appointment with Xiao Feng, and returned to the 'Anyuan' to inform the crew.

Back on the 'Ping'an', Xiao Feng handed over the preparations for the dinner to Mark William, and the benefits of the housekeeper were vividly reflected at this time.

Under the arrangement of Mark William. Whether it's the preparation of ingredients, the purchase of drinks or the process of the dinner, it is all well organized, worry-free and trouble-free.

Xiao Feng and his parents said that they would invite the crew they knew before to eat on the ship, and the old people were naturally quite happy and prepared with great interest.

In this regard, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao naturally would not interfere with the old man. As long as they're happy.

In the Xiao family, although there are housekeepers, cooks, gardeners and other servants, if the old people are willing to do some housework within their ability, Xiao Feng will not restrict them.

Modern servants are more salaried service workers, rather than slaves who have no personal freedom in the old society, so the relationship between Xiao Feng's family and the servants is quite pleasant.

…………

When night fell, Zhou Xiao, Liu Qiang, and second mate Lin Hetian and others led the 28 crew members of the 'Anyuan' to board the 'Ping'an' and became the first guests of the 'Ping'an'.

Because they often run abroad, Zhou Xiao and others brought some souvenirs according to the practice of foreigners. Instead, a few old people said they were too polite.

The dinner party would not start for a while, and Xiao Feng asked Song Bai to take his peers on the boat for a tour, except for some private spaces, there were no problems in many areas.

The crew are quite happy to be able to board such a super luxury yacht for a visit, especially some young crew members, who keep taking pictures and uploading them to the scarf or circle of friends through the Internet.

What surprised them even more. The full coverage of WIFI has been achieved on the 'Ping An Account', which makes everyone not have to worry about international traffic.

The crew was very impressed by the luxury of the Ping An and the various advanced equipment. Perhaps many years later, this memory will still be as clear as yesterday.

It is rare to meet compatriots overseas, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao specially worked together to cook and made many original Chinese delicacies for everyone, and soon the deck was full of fragrance.

In order to let everyone taste the steaming food, Xiao Feng specially set up a chef's table on the banquet deck. Live cooking.

Since the delivery of the 'Ping'an', the small rape and dryland water spinach planted by the old people are now just ripe, and Xiao Feng personally fried garlic water spinach and small rape for everyone, so that the crew members could eat with oil.

Seafarers only want to eat vegetables when they are on the shore, and they want to eat this authentic Chinese dish full of hometown flavor. It's not an easy task.

Therefore, Xiao Feng's freshly fried two vegetables won a full house!

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Feng's beef stew with turnips, which he had been simmering since the afternoon, was also hot, and the half-gluten and half-meat beef from the 'Dream Beef Cow' was sold for more than US$50 per kilogram in the market, and the demand was still in short supply.

In the United States, after each 'dream beef cow' is slaughtered, the hides are sent to the leather factory for processing, the bones are sent to the feed factory to make feed, the steak is robbed by various top Western restaurants, and the top meat products suitable for making Chinese food are also snapped up by high-end Western restaurants in the United States.

In the United States, there are two kinds of Chinese restaurants, one is a low-end restaurant that adapts to the taste of Europeans and Americans through improvement, and the other is a high-end restaurant that adheres to the original Chinese flavor like a 'dream restaurant', and the consumption is quite high!

For example, a cup of beef brisket stewed radish costs US$88, but it is still so popular with consumers that you have to book in advance.

The crew came to the 'Ping'an' as a guest, Xiao Feng naturally had enough of all kinds of food, all kinds of dishes were sent like flowing water, and the market price of 2,000 US dollars 'Xiao's wine' was also unlimited.

Ordinary crew members naturally had no way of knowing the high prices of these delicacies and wines, but Zhou Xiao, Liu Qiang, and others, who had received the 'Xiao's wine' sent by Xiao Feng, seemed to be stunned.

Today's dinner has killed more than 10 bottles of 'Xiao's wine', and as for those aged liquors with mellow aroma and delicious taste, they must also be worth a lot of money, right?

In addition to all kinds of top-notch delicacies, Xiao Feng's family's enthusiasm for the crew also flattered Zhou Xiao and others, after all, they were just ordinary people. The current Xiao family has been faintly called the 'first family in China' by the media, but they still maintain an approachable mentality, which is touching!

When the wine is strong, everyone's interest is also coming, and they start singing on the deck!

Starting from "Singing the Motherland", the loud Chinese songs echoed in the night sky of the port of Naples, and the crew of a Chinese freighter not far away was also infected and joined the chorus.

As a result, in the port of Naples on this summer night, the majestic and loud Chinese singing has become an indelible memory for many people, which is particularly interesting.

…………

The next morning, the 'Ping'an', 'Anyuan' and other Chinese freighters left the port of Naples at the same time, formed a formation in the open sea, and headed for the Suez Canal.

Because of the pirates raging in the Gulf of Aden, Chinese ships often choose to travel in groups, after all, the navy's escort fleet cannot take care of every ship.

When this kind of thing happened, the 'Ping'an', which was relatively fast, naturally did not leave its compatriots to go first, but slowed down the speed of the ship and started a very special journey.

Xiao Feng is not worried about the pirates at all, not only can the 'Ping'an' have a missile defense system, but the security personnel on board are also equipped with various weapons including Barrett's 12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle, Gatling Vulcan cannon, and automatic rifles.

It can be said that today's "Ping An" has no problem dealing with ordinary pirates except that it has no heavy weapons.

Originally, these weapons should not appear on civilian ships, but Xiao Feng still obtained these weapons through some means to ensure the safety of the 'Ping An'.

Xiao Feng is reluctant to pin the safety of his family on the actions of the police and the mercy of the pirates, only the security in his hands is called safety.

As the fleet got closer and closer to the Suez Canal, the distance between the ships became smaller and smaller, and Xiao Feng also saw more Chinese ships, and everyone honked their horns to greet each other, which made Xiao Feng feel another kind of patriotic enthusiasm.

It is these freighters that have been running around the oceans for many years, so that 'Made in China' can be sold all over the world, and all kinds of raw materials, instruments and equipment required for Huaxia construction can be continuously transported to China.

The prosperity and strength of the motherland has never been the credit of a single person, but the result of the silent hard work of hundreds of millions of ordinary Chinese people, and it is precisely because of ordinary laborers like Zhou Xiao that our country has been able to create brilliant achievements that make the world jaw-dropping in just over 30 years!

Sitting on the sofa on the deck, Xue Lihua told the children about the history of China, and listened to it with relish, even Xiao Feng was quite touched.

Ordinary is great!(To be continued.) )
