The vast expanse of the North Pacific Ocean is bitterly cold and bitterly cold.

Ten Daifuku ships sail with the wind on the sea, and the sails are blown up by the cold wind, showing a graceful arc.

Inside the 'Taishan', Du Mingen looked at the calendar and drew a circle on it, today is just the first day of the new year.

"On the first day of the first month of the twelfth year of Hongzhi, it was the sixth day of the sixth month of June when I left Daming, and it has been almost half a year."

"According to the voyage and location, we should be able to reach the west coast of the Golden Island in two days, and then follow the west coast all the way south."

Du Mingen silently calculated in his heart, this is the first thing he has to do after getting up every day, look at the days, calculate the location of the fleet and the time to arrive at the Golden Continent.

"Notice, on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year, all ships will celebrate, take out good wine and food, and everyone will be happy to pass today first."

After thinking about it, Du Mingen also gave the fleet an order to celebrate the New Year.

For the descendants of Yan and Huang, some things are imprinted into the blood, no matter where they go, they must not be forgotten, and the first day of the new year should be the same.

"Haha~"

"Wow~"

As Du Mingen expected, as soon as Du Mingen's order was delivered, the sound of the crew cheering came from above the 'Taishan'.

Sailing on the sea, the crew has already been suffocated, especially after leaving Yuxi, they have not docked on land, and life has become very difficult.

There is very little fresh water in storage, and now there is a ration system, and each person can only have two glasses of water per day, which can only barely satisfy everyone's thirst needs, as for wanting to wash or something, it is simply impossible.

So at this time, everyone on every ship in the fleet stinks, and everyone who hasn't taken a bath, washed their faces, or anything for a long time, everyone is greasy.

Fortunately, it is winter at this time, and it is very cold here, and it seems that there is nothing without bathing or washing your face, especially since this group of crew members are basically northerners.

In addition to the less and less water, the other supplies on the ship are also becoming more and more scarce, and the dehydrated vegetables have now been basically used up, leaving only some soybeans that can be used to sprout beans to replenish vitamins for everyone.

Because there are no fresh vegetables and fruits for a long time, people's immunity and resistance will decrease, and there are crew members on every ship who are sick, but fortunately, there are not many people who are sick, and they bring enough medicines, so they can be cured quickly.

Tea and grain are still very sufficient, and because the tea is made into tea bricks, a small tea brick can be used for a long time, which is the most sufficient among the various materials on the ship.

There are still a lot of reserves of rice and flour in the grain, and there is even enough to go back, and the reason why there is such enough food is also because the crew of the ship has always been a staple food of sea fish.

There was a trawl at the back of each boat, and relying on the trawl, the fleet obtained a large number of sea fish, and there were fresh sea fish to eat every day, so much so that the crew now wanted to vomit and eat too much when they saw all kinds of sea fish.

And because of the limited conditions on board, it is naturally impossible to have too good conditions for cooking, so you can only slice and eat raw, simply cook and so on.

In this way, the nutrition is fully guaranteed, but this taste, after a few months of eating, even the silly bear with the best appetite in the fleet has already lost weight to a monkey.

In addition to the sea fish, the ship also stocked a large amount of jerky, which was made by the crew from hunting silly deer here in Yuxi, but more from the Ming side.

Speaking of the future generations, Liu Jin knew about ham, and the cured ham could be stored for many years, so he also prepared a lot of ham, bacon, smoked duck and the like for the fleet.

As Du Mingen's order was conveyed, the crew members on the ships began to get busy, and the way the descendants of Yan and Huang celebrated the festival was very simple and rude, that is, to have a good meal.

There is Du Mingen's order, so there is no need to scruple too much today.

The best Suzhou rice is boiled, and today it is no longer porridge, but fragrant rice to eat, and it is also full of large quantities, and it is open to eat.

Flour kneaded, buns, noodles, dumplings, steamed buns, fritters and so on desperately made, these are very ordinary things in Daming, for the current crew has a fatal temptation, meat is tired, many people have long been eager to be able to come to a big bowl of noodles, it is best to have some garlic cloves.

The dehydrated vegetables that have been reluctant to use are also taken out in large bags and bags today, and soaked in hot water, these dehydrated vegetables are rejuvenated again, making the crew's eyes shine.

There is no shortage of all kinds of meat on the ship, except for the lack of vegetables and fruits, the bigger it is, the less the supply of this dehydrated vegetable, and now seeing these vegetables, the crew can't help but have an appetite.

The best Jinhua ham, bacon, smoked duck and so on were all moved out, and listening to the sound of fat and simmering, the crew couldn't help but touch their stomachs.

Although everyone eats meat every day, they basically eat sea fish meat, and they have long been hungry for this ham, bacon, smoked duck, etc., or that sentence, fat meat is the most satisfying.

In addition to these, it is natural that there are all kinds of marine fish that can be seen every day, the marine fish of the North Pacific Ocean are very rich, there are countless kinds of marine fish, you can't eat them all, fried mackerel, fried fish pieces, fish meatballs, steamed king crab, etc., all kinds of tricks are made.

Anyway, on the ship, everyone usually didn't have anything to do, except for the lookout, everyone participated in this New Year's celebration.

Du Mingen came to the deck with a telescope, and looked carefully at the surrounding sea, now there are more and more ice floes on the sea, you should be especially careful and cautious, and try to see the land, because in his calculations, you should be able to reach the land in the northwest of the Golden Continent in two days.

As soon as they arrived on land, they could replenish supplies, especially fresh water, which was scarce on the ship, and everyone wanted a beautiful hot bath to wash away the thick greasy on their bodies.

"Whew~"

A cold wind blew, Du Mingen couldn't help but shrink his neck, the temperature here was too low, just staying for a few minutes, Du Mingen felt that he was going to freeze.

"For the time being, you can rest assured that there is no ice floe around, but I haven't seen any land yet."

Du Mingen returned to the ship, in fact, the inside of the ship can also be observed, the windows of the observation room on the ship are made of glass, blocking the cold wind howling outside, and you can observe the situation inside the boat.

The most dangerous thing now is actually at night, because you can't see clearly at night, and there are a lot of ice floes, and if you are unlucky, you may hit the ice floe directly.

This was what Du Mingen was worried about, but there was nothing he could do other than pray.

Thankfully, the fleet's luck has always been good, and the ten Daifuku ships are still in good shape until now.

The crew was busy all morning, and the smell of the ship's restaurant made many greedy crew members walk around the dining room and kitchen from time to time like children, and even secretly ate a bun, dumpling, fatty meat or something from time to time.

At noon, the restaurant is crowded with people, the space on the ship is limited, and the restaurant is naturally impossible to accommodate everyone.

The wine that had been hidden and reluctant to open was lifted, and as soon as the sealing mud was lifted, the aroma of the wine came out, and the wine worms in everyone's stomach were ready to move.

The big bowl and the big bowl of wine were poured, so that some people couldn't help but take a sip, the wine is the most precious thing on the ship, and the amount brought is very small, very little, and no one has had the opportunity to drink it for a long time.

It's been a few months since the last time I drank alcohol, and many people who like to drink alcohol are about to forget the taste of this wine.

Now everyone can get a bowl of wine, and they are a little reluctant to drink it, so they take a sip, then squint their eyes and taste it slowly.

"Brothers~"

Du Mingen raised his bowl and looked at his crew, who also raised their bowls one after another, waiting for Du Mingen's next words.

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have been away from Daming for almost half a year, and soon we will be able to arrive at the Golden Continent, after arriving at the Golden Continent, after we have collected all kinds of things, we can return to Daming."

"The conditions on the ship are limited, so everyone will spend a New Year first, and when we return to Daming, I invite everyone to have a good drink."

"Come on, do it~"

As a qualified leader, he knows how to cheer up his crew at every opportunity.

When the crew heard that they would soon arrive in the Americas, and that they would soon be able to return to Daming, they were all smiling and in high spirits.

"Drink~"

"Dry~"

The crew members all excitedly followed the big gulp and gulp of wine, and then without Du Mingen's instructions, everyone also began to eat meat and drink in large bowls, enjoying this rare New Year's meal to the fullest.

On the other ships, the situation is the same as here on the 'Tarzan', and the crew of each ship is celebrating the arrival of the New Year, and after eating and drinking, there are all kinds of entertainment programs, and they have to live a decent life on the ship.
