At the other end of the pier pier is the foredeck of the Nicole, which is customarily used as a commuter route.

Because there are rare passengers like Doctor Quan on the ship, when the Nicole docked at the Xin'an Wharf, except for Wei Su and the two who had a mission, all the rest of the traversers in Xin'an City came to greet them.

After a long time, Doctor Quan finally appeared on the back deck of Nicole, and everyone noticed that the first mate Han Qisheng did not appear beside him to support, but Zhou Ruiyue, Chu, Song Chen, Xie Muyang and other seven or eight people followed behind, and the brothers also got off the boat all the way to laugh and play, obviously these people happened to be on duty today, and Captain Gu put them down in advance.

The welcomers on the pier were very happy to see that from the mental point of view, Dr. Quan did not get seasick at all and was in good physical condition, which was completely different from the last time Lao Ba got off the boat.

After a while, Quan Yishan, who was full of red light, met and shook hands with everyone, and it could be seen that Dr. Quan, who was a father again, was in a good mood.

In the crowd, Hou Xianglin hurriedly went up and took the doctor's hand and said, My wife is waiting in the governor's mansion, if you are not tired, go and show your sister now.

Hearing this, Quan Yishan immediately took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Hou Xianglin and said, last time you talked about your illness in the telegram, I probably already know what your wife's illness is, don't worry, it's a small problem, this medicine is for fetal protection, I'll go with you to take a look.

So the group did not delay any longer on the dock, and immediately got into the carriage and returned to the governor's palace.

Doctor Quan had just stepped into the luxurious carved hard mahogany door of the Governor's Palace, and a burst of coolness hit him, which made the doctor feel refreshed for a while, and he couldn't help but turn around and smile at Xiao Pingguo:

"Your Excellency the Governor, is there a central air conditioner installed here? Oh, I've heard that you're corrupt here, hahahaha......"

Xiao Pingguoshuai blushed and said, Where, Doctor Quan, you are merciful, oh, this central air conditioner you always say? This kind of equipment exists, but it uses the local method.

At this time, Hou Xianglin, who was next to him, explained to Dr. Quan, after Kangda came a while ago, didn't he bring us a Sterling? We made a salt liquid circulation condenser, the power is provided by Stirling, the so-called salt solution circulation central air conditioning, but the refrigeration effect is certainly not as good as the real central air conditioning, you will know when you stay here for a while, that is, it is slightly cooler than the outside.

Kangda said next to him that the main problem is power, and when the hydropower station generates electricity in the future, with enough electricity, this salt solution air conditioner can not only produce cold air, but also make ice cream......

Everyone gossiped all the way up to the second floor, and the staircase was facing a large living room.

It can be seen that the current Doge's Palace has been renovated and renovated very comfortably, and there is not only electricity supply, not only furniture and various living facilities brought from the old world, but also electric fans, which are indispensable appliances in tropical environments.

It's just that these electric fans have not been used much recently, the reason is that there is no condition to repair once it fails, unless it is removed and let the passing Nicole take it home, it is precisely because of this trouble and trouble, Xiao Pingguo They gradually reduced the use of electric fans, however, in the current large living room, the two electric fans are slowly rotating silently, bringing coolness to the people in the house.

As soon as everyone was seated, several girls wearing traditional indigenous cotton aprons appeared at the door, and in their hands the glass plate was tea in glass cups, steaming slightly.

Doctor Quan knew that there were groups of service staff in this building—most of them were indigenous girls, and that gossip about Xiao Pingguo had been heard from time to time on the side of the Red Mansion.

The girls floated around the living room like butterflies and then disappeared into the doorway, and from outside the living room came all kinds of noisy footsteps and the butler's soft shouts.

Every time the Nicole arrived, the waiters in the Doge's Mansion had to be busy for a while, and the small kitchen on the first floor not only had to prepare meals for more than 20 people--- mainly fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy products, but also prepare dormitories for the crew of the Nicole.

The Governor's Mansion is a two-story small building, with a total construction area of 2,000 square meters, of course, such a large place is not just for the Governor alone, in addition to a few large suites in the building for Xiao Pingguo, Wei Hongfang, Linyou, Su Gaofei and others to make dormitories, Lao Wang, Lao Zhu, Hou Xianglin, Kangda, Han Lotian and their resident personnel also have independent suites, in addition, there are more than 20 single rooms in the nature of a hotel, specially for the crew of the traverser on the Nicole to land and stay and rest.

The living facilities in these dormitories are as close to the Red House as possible, and there is a 10 kilowatt Stirling engine to power these rooms, each room has its own bathroom, and all rosewood or teak or sandalwood furniture, but there are only cold showers in the rooms at the moment, and water heaters are not available here because they are too expensive to use.

Recently, the building's chief designer, Hou Xianglin, redesigned the layout of the first floor and built a hot public bath, which, of course, was boiled by servants on a stove and then pumped by hand to a large bath on the first floor.

The large bath has a public area, and there is a semi-enclosed cubicle on the side, and the edge of the pool is built into a stepped shape, so that everyone can sit and chat in the warm water, this place is specially designed by Hou Xianglin, it is a bit like a public sauna, for the partners on the Nicole, after a long bumpy voyage on the sea, it is very relaxing to take a hot bath on the shore, so it is a place where everyone likes to stay after getting off the ship.

After drinking tea and resting for a while, Hou Xianglin took Dr. Quan to a suite on the second floor to ask Zezilia to ask about it, Xiao Pingguo and they were naturally inconvenient to follow, he asked the waiters to take out all kinds of tropical fruits and refreshments to entertain a group of partners who had just disembarked,

At this time, several black people brought up two large cardboard boxes from downstairs, and Yue Chu and Zhou Rui hurriedly signaled to lift them to the other side of the corridor, and the dormitory of Hou Xianglin and his wife was over there.

At this time, Zhou Rui turned around and explained to Lao Wang and Lao Ba that it was full of all kinds of gifts from the people in the Red Mansion, congratulating Brother Hou on being happy again, most of these things are supermarket materials, Yue Chu added a sentence next to him, by the way, it also includes the gift from Ba Lao, Dorela sent a small jewelry box on your behalf, and I don't know what it contains......

Everyone was talking, and the other end of the corridor suddenly became lively, it is estimated that Zezilia and her maid are opening gift boxes in public, and occasionally there are surprises from the girls, it seems that there are many things that girls like in the old world supermarket.

Obviously, it was not the first time that Zilia had received such gifts, she knew that there were many novelties in the box, and today would be another happy day to unpack the gifts......

At seven o'clock in the evening, Governor Xiao Pingguo was the host, and a banquet was held in the dining room of the Governor's Palace, and all the traversers, including more than half of the crew members on the Nicole, were sitting - but the number of people was not too much, plus the old Wang Lao Bahou Xianglin Kangda who accompanied the guests to dinner, including these people, there were only about 20 people, and there were only two thirds of the people who came down to eat, but fortunately, there were just enough three large round tables, and the entire huge restaurant on the first floor was lit up with electric lights on the ceiling, and the waitress shuttled back and forth, Drinks fill the table, diners are chatting and laughing, and the hall is filled with a cheerful and lively atmosphere.
