387 Wind and rain at sea

Set off for the south again, and in the next few months, Meng Fei and the others needed to float at sea for at least a month or so.

In the end, Meng Fei and Bi Yong still couldn't hold back, and before nightfall, they visited the maritime proprietors who were going to leave the port and go south on the same day, and docked at Keelung Wharf.

The other party seemed to have such requests from time to time, so they happily accepted Meng Fei's request, negotiated with them about the time to go to sea, and formed another temporary fleet.

"I said Brother Meng, you are probably still wondering, why aren't we worried about an opponent like you, which will cause competition, right?"

As long as there are no storms at sea, then the endless sea view will hardly change, and people will always feel bored and bored after watching it for a long time.

Several maritime proprietors also seemed to be bold, and even organized a bureau to invite Meng Fei and the two of them to gather on one of the sea ships, where everyone drank together and killed time.

After getting acquainted with each other, everyone naturally talked about more things, and they were a little less restrained.

"That's true, please ask Brother Qiao to solve your doubts!"

Meng Fei didn't hide it, and asked directly in a low voice.

"Actually, it's very simple, we all do business, and we never worry about not being able to sell!"

On the other side, a middle-aged man who touched the horse hanging on the table, stroked his bald head, and looked full of horizontal meat, but in fact he was a warm-hearted man, gave the answer with a big grin.

"Since our Hong Dynasty blockaded the coastal trade of the Ming Dynasty, our Chinese specialties have never been sold in Nanyang, and the price has been rising!"

"Although we seem to be competitors, it takes about three months to go back and forth to Nanyang, you say that there are not many opponents more than you, and there are many opponents less than you, but in fact, there is no taste of competition at all!"

"Taught!"

Meng Fei was overjoyed in his heart, what he had been worried about all along, that is, if all the goods they purchased with the strength of the family were smashed in their own hands, then they really didn't know how to face their families.

Although I have always heard from others that the goods shipped to Nanyang basically do not worry about the buyer, the only thing to worry about is the risk on the way, and the goods brought by the slightest carelessness are soaked in seawater, and the fragile porcelain is damaged.

However, after all, it is a false rumor that someone asked you, and no one dares to guarantee the truth or falsehood, and there should be many rumors in the world that are exaggerated, isn't it?

Now hearing the heart-to-heart words of several proprietors, at least Meng Fei feels a little more at ease and looks forward to the future prospects.

"A tube."

"Hey, I'll touch it!"

……

"Owner, there are clouds ahead, I'm worried that there will be big storms!"

The sea breeze brings a bit of coolness, although it is now winter in the north of China, but now they are in the southern ocean, but they do not feel cold at all, but still have a bit of summer taste.

The game of several people's horse crane was originally very enjoyable, but it was interrupted by the owner of the ship who suddenly broke in, bringing a haze in everyone's hearts.

"Huh?"

"Let's go, let's see!"

Meng Fei didn't understand this, and the smooth sailing along the way made him forget about many maritime crises he had heard, but when he saw the smiles on the faces of several other owners, he suddenly felt a little bad.

I don't know when, over the course they were heading on, a large dark cloud covering the sea suddenly appeared, and the scope was initially estimated to be at least more than 100 miles.

"Looks like a storm is coming!"

Several proprietors looked at the sponge in front of them, which was relatively calm, but also raised a little waves, as well as the dark clouds in front of them, and involuntarily muttered a few words.

"Can you get around?"

The proprietor Qiao turned around and asked the owner of the boat beside him.

"This rain cloud covers a wide area, and it is difficult to see that its drift direction is coming towards us, and it is difficult to dodge!"

The experienced owner shook his head and replied in the negative, but at the same time gave good news to several proprietors according to his own judgment: "But fortunately it is just a rain cloud, not a typhoon." Even if we can't get around, the wind and waves will not be too big. ”

"The only thing to worry about is that after the rain picks up, our ships may lose contact!"

In the midst of heavy rain, it is far more difficult than it seems to keep the fleet in touch, and when the rain is usually pouring down, the visibility does not even exceed ten feet, and if you do not pay attention to the ships in front or behind, you may load yourself or even lose a trace.

And if you want to pass through this rain cloud, it is impossible to do it without two or three hours, and this is what everyone is worried about.

However, as the owner of this sea ship rejoiced, this is not a frightening hurricane on the sea, but a heavy rainstorm that only lasts for a few hours.

Now at least not as much as before, after such a heavy rain in the past, the most feared thing is to lose direction, and finally get lost in the vast good, thirst and starvation; Now, with more advanced navigation technology and a more accurate compass, even if they lose their direction for a while, as long as they are qualified and experienced boat owners, they can always find the right direction and take them to their final destination.

"It seems that today's game is not playable, everyone, take the next step ahead, go back and prepare."

"Farewell!"

They all departed, each returning to his own ship to welcome the rainstorm.

Meng Fei and Bi Yong were terrified at this time, and when they faced this situation for the first time, they always did not have the calmness of several other maritime merchants.

The first thing I did when I returned to the ship was to find the owner of the ship, who had already found the wind and rain, and asked him for specific countermeasures.

"Is there anything wrong with this heavy rain?"

"Don't worry, host, I've arranged for the sailors on board to get ready."

In the face of the owner's inquiry, the owner of the ship did not continue to add to the burden on them: "As long as the wind and waves are not big, in fact, our risk is not too big, the only thing to worry about is that the cargo in our cabin is likely to get damp in this wind and rain, which is the biggest problem." ”

"As for the most terrible problem of losing direction, it is no longer a matter of concern for our sailors at sea, at least I dare to promise the two proprietors that I can definitely lead everyone to Manila City together!"

Looking at the confident expression of the owner of the ship, Meng Fei's uneasiness in their hearts gradually decayed, and they were no longer as uneasy as they were at the beginning.
