Chapter 247: Prey Five
Xiaobao shook his head dissatisfiedly when he heard the words of the first mate. "It can only hold tens of thousands of catties of grain, which is too little." Xiaobao said.
"There's no way, that's it for coal-burning ships. Coal in the hold takes up a lot of space, and there's a damn big chimney on deck. The first mate also shook his head helplessly.
"But brother, how much business do you have to do and how much grain do you have to transport? Without the orders from above, we would not dare to sail the ship from Yingkou all the way to Shanghai. That's going to be a head loss. The first mate asked in surprise.
"Do you think I'm smuggling grain? There are many people in the south and there is little land, and there is not enough food to eat. We are transporting grain from the northeast to the south to sell it, is it not supporting the imperial army's Great East Asian Holy War? I'm going to go back and ask the head of the Yanagida Office of the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army about this matter. Xiaobao said solemnly.
"If so, dare to be kind. Don't tell you the truth, brother, everyone has been so poor that they are almost bleeding all these years. We're not like the police who can strangle their necks and get stuck in the skin. It's not like the Army, which can eat empty salaries. There are more than 20 people on the boat, and Wang Ba looks at the mung beans all day long, haha. If you can do such a deal, brother, you must bring us with you and drink some soup. The first mate said overjoyed.
"It's easy if you want Dora to run fast. Not to mention other places, even the old-fashioned wooden sailboats in Yingkou also have some left, and they will be scrapped if they are not used again. Loading the grain onto the sailboat, strung it together with thick rope, and dragging it in our boat can pull a lot. The first mate said. He now sees ways to make money, and his mind is much more flexible.
"Okay, I'll look for you when I want to take this road in the future." Xiaobao nodded in agreement.
"Brother, you're tired along the way, so I won't bother you. I'll bring you food later. The first mate went out in a hurry.
Xiaobao lay on the small iron bed in the cabin, his body swaying with the ship, although he did not vomit in the dark, but it was not comfortable.
After more than half an hour, the first mate walked in with a large plate in one hand and chopsticks in the other.
"Brother, there's nothing good to eat on board. Stir-fried pork slices with cabbage can be made! There are also two large steamed buns. Not enough to add more! The first mate said boldly.
Xiaobao was not polite, he turned over and got up, holding a steamed bun in one hand and chopsticks in the other.
"Big brother, is this a green onion?" Xiaobao asked with a green onion more than an inch long on his chopsticks.
"Brother, we're all rough people. Besides, it's fun to eat it this way. The first mate said with a grin.
"The brother who delivered food to the young lady who was with you just now came back and said that the young lady is not very good now, and vomited all over the ground." The first mate said again.
"Really? Then I'll go see her after dinner. Xiaobao said with tears streaming down his face. He was spicy by the green onion he had just eaten.
Po pushed open the door to the captain's cabin and heard a retching sound. He knew that Ulyanova had already vomited to the point where she could not vomit.
Ulyanova lay on the bed and opened her mouth to a large basin on the floor, vomiting.
"The captain's basin is used for washing his face during the day, and he uses it for convenience at night if he doesn't want to go to the toilet. Look at what it makes you vomit. Xiaobao said jokingly.
With a "wow" Ulyanova finally spit out. This is entirely due to being stimulated by Xiaobao.
"Get out!" Ulyanova scolded weakly.
Xiaobao not only did not roll, but also bent down and knocked Ulyanova's back with his fist.
"You are worse than the Bolsheviks!" Ulyanova said through gritted teeth.
"I'm just talking and stimulating you a few words, and it's worse than the person who killed your father. People like you are a great rebel. According to our rules, it should be stuffed into a sack and thrown into the Songhua River to feed the king. Xiaobao said with a smile.
Xiaobao sat at the head of the bed, glanced at a large plate of fried pork with cabbage and two large steamed buns on the table, and said to Ulyanova: "The more this time, the more you should eat." It's better to vomit after eating, and then eating after vomiting is better than eating nothing. ”
"Come, eat some." Xiaobao said to Ulyanova with a plate.
Ulyanova shook her head stubbornly.
Xiaobao put the plate on the table. I tore a piece of steamed bun with my hand and stuffed it into Ulyannova's mouth.
Ulyanova spit out the steamed bun with a scream.
"Do you want to put it on for a few days when you arrive in Shanghai?" After Xiaobao finished speaking, he grabbed a piece of pork from the plate with his hand, stuffed it into Ulyannova's mouth, and pinched her mouth to prevent her from spitting it out.
In this way, the two of them tossed for a long time, and Ulyanova finally ate a few bites. But she hugged Xiaobao's waist tightly, hid her head behind Xiaobao, and refused to eat again.
I don't know how long it took, Xiaobao woke up in a daze. He saw Ulyanova still holding his waist and pilling her head on his lap asleep. A large wet patch on his thigh. This stinky actually spits on his thigh.
Ulyanova was awakened by the shaking of Xiaobao. She withdrew her hands and subconsciously touched Xiaobao's thighs.
Ulyanova suddenly became angry: "Hooligans! Shameless! ”
"Miss, you're still not human, are you? You spit out my pants and I haven't settled accounts with you, and you dare to scold me. The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people. I'm going to go out on deck and blow on my pants to get them dry. After Xiaobao finished speaking, he stood up and pushed the door out.
"Did I throw up?" Ulyanova said something as if to herself, and lay on the bed weakly.
Over the next two days, Ulyanova's seasickness situation improved day by day. It's best to get out of bed and walk around.
"Did you hear that you are almost in Shanghai, and you can go shopping and buy things, so you will be cured of your illness all of a sudden?" Xiaobao asked with a smile.
"You talk to the people on the boat if you can cut the vegetables when you stir-fry. Pork is as thick as a finger, can you eat this dish? Ulyanova said angrily.
"This kind of dish, like you, the eldest lady is really not used to eating. If you endure it for another half a day, I will treat you to a French dinner when you come to Shanghai. Let you see what a bunny girl is! Xiaobao's eyebrows suddenly fluttered.
"If only there was a grenade now, shove it in this bastard's mouth." Ulyanova looked at Xiaobao and fantasized.
When the ship was about to arrive in Shanghai, Xiaobao told the first mate: "After arriving in Shanghai, you should take care of your brothers." If someone takes advantage of the opportunity to run away, you won't be drinking a pot when you return to the Northeast. You've had a place to eat for free for the rest of your life. ”
The first mate broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, and quickly nodded yes.
Watching the patrol boat sail into the dock, two people who had been waiting on the dock for a long time waved to the people on the boat.
"When we arrived at the place, someone from the Intelligence Department of the Kwantung Army in Shanghai came to pick us up." Xiaobao said to Ulyanova.
