After getting off work in the evening, Ye Chen drove Martin to the University of Liverpool, where there were not many people in the company, so they could only go to the university stadium to play football. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Martin, do you know where there is a store that sells sailing equipment?"

"I think about it... There seems to be such a shop in the shopping mall next to the Alport Pier, you can go there and check it out. ”

"Okay, I'll go there later."

Alport Dock was an important port for Liverpool at the time, and the British import and export trade with the rest of the world before and after the Industrial Revolution, as well as the slave trade, were closely linked to this port. Today, the old warehouse of the marina has been converted into shops, apartments, restaurants, bars, guesthouses, galleries and museums. The International Slave Museum, the Mersey Maritime Museum, the Tate Modern in Liverpool, and the Beatles Gallery are all gathered here.

There are more than 160 brand stores here, which usually close at 21:00 or 22:00, and some supermarkets are now even open 24 hours.

Once the most popular port city in the UK, Liverpool has left a large number of dock facilities and has become a unique tourist attraction in the city, and once again, a large commercial circle has been established next to Alport Docks.

It's 8 o'clock in the evening, and there are still a lot of shoppers here. Through the introduction of netizens, Ye Chen came to a store called "Atlantic Airlines".

"Good evening, sir. Is there anything I can do to help you? "As soon as I walked into the store, I was greeted by a waiter.

"Hello, I want to buy some navigation land tools," Ye Chen took out a list that he had made before, "That's about it, I'm going to stay on the line for about a month, do you have any good suggestions?" ”

The waiter took the list, "Nautical knives, hats, gloves, first aid medicine, and... Jack slowly skimmed through the list that Ye Chen had brought.

"Well, it's a comprehensive list, but there are some things that I still need to introduce to you, and there are some things that I don't need to bring. Please come with me. After Jack finished speaking, he took Ye Chen inside.

"Sir, can you tell me more about where you are going? So that I can judge better. ”

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded. "I'm going to take a boat north, all the way into the Polar Circle, and I'm going to stay there for a while."

"Oh, go to the North Pole, it's going to be cold. So first of all, you need to prepare some warm clothes, then you can buy a jacket like this, the main thing is that the material of its outer layer can well block the wind and rain. As long as you wear warm clothes and woolen sweaters inside the jacket, you can basically do it. ”

"Very sturdy clothes, let me try it out." Ye Chen touched the jacket that Jack brought.

"It's nice, it's almost isolated from the outside temperature." After tightening the zipper, Ye Chen immediately felt his body temperature rise.

Ye Chen had also planned to prepare these clothes, according to the plan, when their ship entered the North Pole at the end of July, and even at that time, the temperature in the Arctic was below --Celsius.

Jack recommended a series of warm equipment to Ye Chen, a jacket just now, and a pair of one-piece high-top snow boots, a mask and ski goggles.

"Well, is this style of shoe okay?"

"That's it." Ye Chen tried on the snow boots on his feet, which were very warm and comfortable.

"Alright then, I'll get you a pair of shoes that are two sizes bigger, so you can wear thick woolen socks."

Ye Chen has prepared the other clothes, so there is no need to buy them here, the next thing is to take a look at the other equipment here.

"I looked at your shopping list just now, in fact, there are some things that you don't need to buy, and now the necessary medical rooms and small equipment rooms will be prepared on the sailing ship, so you don't need to buy them separately."

Jack pointed to some of the items on the list and explained to Ye Chen, "But you can bring a function pack, which contains the basic medicines for sailing, such as seasickness medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, etc.; a flashlight, a multi-functional knife, and a large plastic bag; In addition, there is a personal emergency handbag on the edge of the function bag, which can put your wallet, keys, passport, visa, mobile phone and other important small items in it, and can be removed at any time. ”

Ye Chen flipped through this small functional bag, there were a lot of bits and pieces in it, some of which were items on his list, and there were also many gadgets that he hadn't thought of, "It's very practical and sensible, just take one of these." ”

"Sir, do you still need a nautical knife?" Jack took Ye Chen outside a knife cabinet, "A good nautical knife can help you with many things on board. ”

"I have an Alaskan whaling fork survival knife, which I have used in the field before, can it replace a marine knife?"

"Absolutely, it's a good knife, simple and powerful. Take it with you, and it's also very useful for sailing. ”

"Then the last thing is to choose a hat and gloves, not the kind to keep out the cold, but to shade and water." Jack walked towards Ye Chen with a certain bucket hat, "Try this, if you don't like it, you can change to another style." ”

The soft Moa purple has a brim around the outside, which covers Ye Chen's forehead and neck well, and it seems that the sunscreen effect is good.

"Dude, change the color for me, as long as it's not this green." Ye Chen took the somewhat dark green hat in his hand and strongly asked Jack to change it for him.

"Well, there are a lot of styles for that. But I think this color is so beautiful, green is very healthy. ”

Finally, he finally changed to an off-white hat, and Ye Chen put it in the shopping cart. However, the gloves are not so picky, and you can just find a pair of more convenient ones.

"Do you still need diving equipment, sir?" After recommending basic items, Jack introduced other sea tools to Ye Chen, "We have the most complete set of diving equipment here. ”

"I don't think I need it this time," Ye Chen felt that he didn't have much time to go into the water when he was working, "I'll turn it around myself, and you can make the price list." ”

The basic equipment was almost bought, and some of the items that were originally thought to be needed could be obtained from the ship, so it roughly cost less than 1,000 pounds.

Although he didn't buy diving equipment this time, Ye Chen was very interested in it, and he had rented a submersible at the beach before and went to the shallow water to play under the sea. However, I thought that after I got the ghost ship, I could take a boat to the open sea for diving, so I could check out the equipment here.

There are many diving tools in the shop, including diving goggles, snorkels and fins that Ye Chen rented in the past, as well as heavy equipment such as breathing regulators, buoyancy regulators, diving instruments, gas cylinders, and other auxiliary equipment for scuba diving. Of course, these tools are more expensive.

Just as Ye Chen was bored wandering around the store, he suddenly saw a recurve knife hanging on the wall, with a wide belly and a blade bent forward, looking like a Gurkha knife, but the blade was indeed black.

"Mr. Ye, this is your bill." Jack came to Ye Chen's side.

"Yes, thank you." Ye Chen's result bill, a total of £760. "Jack, what kind of knife is this?"

"Oh, this is a Gurkha knife made by the American Cold Steel Company, made of carbon V steel, and it is a saber that is very suitable for chopping."

"How much does it cost?" Ye Chen has the saber in his hand, and the focus of the entire knife is on the blade in front of him, no wonder there is an axe effect when chopping it.

"£240, but it's not suitable for sailing at sea." Although Jack wants to make money, he also wants to provide the most correct advice to customers.

"It's okay, I like this knife a lot, I use it for collection, and I use a whaling fork when I go to sea." Ye Chen waved his hand and asked Jack to include the knife in the bill.

After paying the bills, Ye Chen went home with the loot, and Parker, who had been waiting for a day, was already hungry at home. Ye Chen was just thinking about these chores this day, and he forgot that there was a little thing waiting to eat at home.
