Chapter 277: Maritime Problems
After returning to Shiyan, Yan didn't explain the process of the matter in detail, but simply told everyone that she had hired NPCs to be their guides. The matter of the guide has been solved, and Childe Xia Hou has also borrowed the three largest and best fishing boats in Youyu Village.
Of course, there is also a payment.
When the young man named Haizi hesitated to stretch out two fingers, Yan thought for a moment that he wanted two hundred taels or two thousand taels of silver, and at least twenty taels of silver.
When she guessed in her heart, whether it was two hundred taels, two thousand taels, Yang or twenty taels, Haizi became a little anxious, and said with a serious face: "This price is already very fair, you must know that it is dangerous to go to sea." According to the rules, this kind of work of taking people to the sea is to give silver first and then go to sea. ”
"I don't think my sister mentioned it, but the price can't be lower, at least two taels of silver per person!"
At that time, she didn't expect that Haizi's two fingers represented two taels, and she thought she had heard it wrong. After repeatedly confirming that it was indeed two taels of silver, she was a little embarrassed.
felt that the price was too low, and in an instant, Yan finally 'generously' raised the price to ten taels per person, and then she saw the little boy looking at her with a grateful and adoring look. Then he asked with a longing and cautious expression, "Sister, I want to ask how many people you need." ”
"At least three or five people." She replied that it was because they weren't good enough at rowing, and that even if they stayed for a few more days, the result would be the same. It's better to bring two more NPCs with you, and you can also help with rowing when the time comes.
So they stayed in the village for one more day, and when they were at the beach the next day, they saw the little boy Haizi standing in front of him with six people blushing, and he was a little embarrassed and said, "Sister, because you said that there should be at least three or five people, I thought that it would be enough to bring two more people." ”
In an instant, Yan felt that she was about to turn into a strange aunt, and resisted the urge to reach out and rub that little face, she said seriously: "Well, these people are just right." Before, you said that according to the rules, you have to pay first, so I'll pay you first. As she spoke, she took out seven silver ingots of ten taels and handed them over.
Hai Zi and several people around him, as if they had never seen so much silver, stared at the silver ingot in Hai Zi's hand with glowing eyes. After they all got the silver in their hands, the expressions on their faces became excited.
A young man who came with Haizi said, "This girl, can you wait before leaving, we want to send the silver home before leaving." ”
It wasn't bad for a while, and then Yan nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw these people and ran into the village.
The others stood aside and watched from beginning to end, and Zhong Ion suddenly said to her: "Xiao Yan, you are not afraid that these people will take the silver and run away." ”
"Of course not, these NPCs are more believable." She whispered when she heard it.
Childe Xia Hou watched silently, thinking that it was no wonder that NPCs always gave her all kinds of preferential treatment, it must be the reason for her mentality.
The first to come back was Haizi, who gasped and said, "Sister, the silver has been handed over to grandpa, and we all think you are a good person!" ”
"It's good if you're happy." The moment Yan who was issued a good person card was a little speechless.
After everyone returned, this time they were finally going to take a boat to the endless sea. The blue sky is like a wash, and the sea is so clear that people can't tell the difference between the sky and the sea for a while. Looking at the boundless sea, everyone felt that the little worry in their hearts was nothing at all.
"It's not the first time I've seen it, but I still think the sea is really beautiful and beautiful." Nanhua muttered.
Instantly, Yan nodded in agreement, and said: "In the past, we could only rely on pictures and clips recorded in movies and television to imagine such scenery, but now we can really be there." ”
Because of the large number of people, they divided the people into three teams, and the number of people in each boat was about the same, and they were distributed according to their occupations. In this way, it is also feared that if the ships are scattered, there will be any danger encountered, and there will be no danger because of the unequal distribution of occupations.
In this way, some people who have a good relationship have not been able to be separated, and even Yan and Gongzi Xia Hou are not in the same boat at the moment, but Zhong Ion, Xia Hou Ah Huang, Nanhua and Qiu Yinong are all assigned to the boat she is on.
She was satisfied that Hushu was not assigned to this boat, nor was she assigned to the boat where Gongzi Xia Hou was.
At this time, Nanhua glanced at the little boy standing at the bow of the boat, leaned over and whispered: "Sister Shi Yan, why is the guide on our boat a child who looks younger than me, is it really okay?" ”
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
In an instant, Yan glanced at Haizi, who had a calm expression, and his heart was still a little uncertain before, but he slowly settled down. If there were any doubts before, but after Haizi watched in all aspects after getting on the ship, she already believed that Haizi definitely had a superior means for going to sea.
Although she didn't really understand it, it didn't prevent her from judging what Haizi was doing. If nothing else, just a few words of advice from him to the rowers made the boat move faster.
Haizi took the initiative to get to the boat she was on, and with him was a boy named Clam, who was no more than two years older than him. After hearing the young man's name, she and Nanhua both remembered the name of a seafood dish they had eaten these two days.
Spicy fried razor clams.
In an instant, Yan swallowed the saliva that quickly flooded his mouth, and began to think of other things to divert the unforgettable spicy taste.
Although the boats they borrowed were not very large, if they wanted to maintain a relatively fast forward speed, the number of rowers at the same time could not be less than six. The people in her boat, plus Haizi and razor clams, were a total of twenty-one people.
There were also twenty-two people on Childe Xiahou's side, and only the other boat was twenty-two, one more than them. Although Gongzi Xia Hou has already explained that the boat is in charge of Shi Yan, she also has to take turns rowing like other personnel.
She divided everyone into four classes, two sixes, one five, and one foursome. During the day, two groups of six take turns rowing, and at night they are rowed by groups of five and four.
That's right, Haizi and Clams, who were originally guides, also automatically joined the rowers. During the day, razor clams keep an eye on the direction of the ship and the movement of the sea, while at night the more experienced sea keepers are in charge.
The three boats had been on the surface for two days, but had not found a single island. Fortunately, Haizi told them that there would be no strong winds in the last five days, depending on the weather. And these five days were enough time for them to reach a small island where fishermen often stayed.
Because it was not convenient to make a fire on the ship, all of them ate only one hot meal a day, and the rest of the time they ate food such as dry food and dry cakes prepared in advance, which were easy to store.
For a moment, Yan felt that she could still bear it, but her 'unknown egg' seemed to be a little unbearable, and when she took it out to change the hot water several times, the egg was not as warm as it was, but a little cold.
After only two days of hard work, the color of the egg, which was originally very shiny, has dimmed a lot. She felt that if this continued, it would not take more than a few days for this egg to become a dead egg.
It's not that she doesn't want to make a few more fires to get some hot water, although she is not afraid of being tired, but there are a number of firewood prepared on the ship, which is used to cook food for everyone. If she boils water a few more times, I'm afraid they will have to eat only dry food later.
In addition to Nanhua Qiuyinong and Zhong Ion, Yan didn't think that other people would be willing to eat those dry foods that made her feel sick to her stomach after eating too much because of the egg in her hand. She thought that she would encounter other difficult things, but she didn't expect to encounter such a problem first, and she didn't know how to solve it if she wanted to solve it in the vast sea.
If she used to have all kinds of fabrics in her backpack, she could use them as fuel. But because of this operation, in addition to some necessary things in her backpack, other materials and other materials that she can't use for the time being are all put in her personal warehouse.
It's really embarrassing, does she really want to see the egg really become a dead egg?
At this time, Yan didn't put the eggs back in his backpack, but took some low-level equipment that he didn't wear, wrapped the eggs, and put them in the sun during the day. But this method is not very useful, because if she is not careful, she will overshoot, and she must always pay attention to whether the temperature of the eggs is too high.
After two days like this, she felt exhausted. Sometimes just after rowing, she is tired and doesn't want to move, she has the idea of simply ignoring it, and letting Tai eat the eggs directly after they are cooked.
It's just that after working so hard, she couldn't really care about it.
Another day passed, until he saw a faint place in the distance, and Yan breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, feeling that this egg finally didn't have to become a dead egg. At this time, it has been almost two months since she got this one.
In other words, as long as you hold on for another month, the eggs will be able to hatch successfully.
Everyone rejoiced at the sight of the land, for as time passed, the excitement and wonder of seeing the sea had passed, and they had already developed a dull feeling.
Three boats stopped at the edge of the island one after another, and before the boats could stop, many people ran off the boats as quickly as possible.
"It feels so good to have your feet on the ground!" Someone shouted.
In an instant, Yan walked towards Gongzi Xia Hou with his egg heart tired, and saw him with his head down as if he was looking at something at his feet, and after seeing him bend down and pick it up, he asked directly: "What is it, have you found anything?" ”
