Chapter 59: The Prequel of a Brave Heart (4)
After getting to Pier 5, Wallace found that the passenger ship was different from what it used to be, it was a large ship without a mast!
The entire hull is painted with white paint, and at this time it looks like a white seagull docked on the pier.
This is actually a 1,500-ton offshore passenger ship produced by Liuqiu Shipyard.
It is powered by two 180 hp fuel-fired steam engines propelled by propellers, which can reach speeds of 20 kilometers per hour and 15 kilometers per hour when it is at full power.
The length of the ship is 61 meters, the width is 35 meters, the depth is 7 meters, and the building on board is 4 meters and 5 meters high.
Double chimneys, front and rear arrangement, with a cruising range of up to 2,000 km.
The hull is divided into four tiers, the first three of which are first, second and third class cabins.
The bilge of the fourth floor is the power compartment, with a total of seven isolation compartments, and a large number of basha wood is used.
It can normally carry 320 passengers, and up to 600 people.
The crew on board was twenty-seven people.
In fact, in the eyes of Wang Defa's family, this is a nondescript ship type------ its speed and range data are not superior to those of the flying Sheared Seahawk passenger and cargo ships, but there are two points worthy of praise, one is its comfort.
Due to the tonnage advantage, this kind of ship is equipped with various living facilities to the greatest extent.
The first class cabins are equipped with separate toilets and showers.
At the same time, there is a much smaller number of sailors, especially those with sail skills.
Wang Defa's family is not satisfied with this type of ship, but it is liked by the passengers, compared with the flying cut Sea Eagle passenger and cargo ship, its tickets are better sold, and the attendance rate is a lot higher!
Zhang Laoshi, the director of the factory, said to Wang Defa's family: "What sailors need most is safety and comfort------
Wang Defa's family immediately understood, he really didn't completely stand on the ideas of the ancients to think about the problem, what time, load, the ancients actually didn't care much about these.
Many ancients did not dare to go to sea, mainly because they were afraid of casualties------ so Director Zhang Laoshi's thinking was right.
As a result, this type of ship began to be mass-produced.
Wallace bought a ticket for a third-class cabin, he knew that he could not see the sun or the sea, but he understood that the ventilation was also quite good, and the third-class cabin of the flow-like sea boat he had ridden before was not very damp, and it was lit by kerosene lamps.
He saw that the couple was walking through the first-class boarding passage, and they were still bickering as they went.
What a wonderful life this was, and if it were him, he would have loved Marianne forever? Bradford!
After Liang Xiaobai, the eldest son of Liang in Changzhou, successfully married the White Lady nurse, he devoted himself to his career as a real estate developer, which he was more interested in and more profitable.
Doing what you love and making money from it is the best job in the world.
However, what he didn't expect was that the white lady nurse still had to go to work and refused to be her rich wife.
Liang Xiaobai once said in surprise: "Xiaobai, why do you have to go to work? Also on the night shift? If you have nothing to do, you can go to see the women's sumo, even if you are tired ------ a football match, just like a quiet host, go to do a women's SPA, what kind of objects do you like, just open your mouth and let people buy it, why do you have to go to work? ”
But the white lady nurse said: "Even the quiet master comes out to work, and I am an idler at home?" ”
"Hey, how can you be an idler? You have to arrange someone to clean up at home, and every time you come back------ you have to ask someone to cook, how can this be an idler?! ”
However, he couldn't convince the white lady nurse, so he retreated, why don't you open a hospital by yourself, and let the white lady nurse be the director herself, so that at least she doesn't have to work the night shift, right?!
The White Lady nurse was very satisfied with this arrangement------ the benefits of having money were reflected, and with the funding of the Liang family, the hospital required by the White Lady nurse was really built.
In fact, the opening of a hospital is to make money, and after operating for a while, it quickly sees profits.
Perhaps only in strange times will happen when hospitals lose money on one side and patients cannot afford to see patients on the other.
The nurse of the White Lady also asked to open branches in other cities like Liuqiu Hospital.
It's easy to say this------ but you can't just call a place to open it, that's a bit, and only Liuqiu Hospital will do that.
For example, this time, the white lady nurse asked him to accompany her to the Sidaohe area to have a look.
Liang Xiaobai observed the flow of people and the local income level, he thought that this place is far from developing, one or two doctors can do it, it is not worth opening a hospital, besides, I heard that Liuqiu Hospital will soon build a branch here------
The white lady nurse actually understands this in her heart, she is just coquettish towards Liang Xiaobai.
There are two kinds of coquettishness in women, one is against you, and the other is for you to take care of them.
Where does Liang Xiaobai understand a woman's heart, he is still a little angry in his heart------ after getting on the deck, he casually glanced at the crowd queuing up there to enter the third-class cabin, and found that the Caucasian was still peeking at them.
Damn it, I'll beat you up if you look at it again!
However, looking at that kid's physique, it seems that he can't beat ------
Wallace entered the third-class cabin, where he found it full of rows of benches, with several kerosene lamps hanging from the bilge, and it was not yet dim.
The best condition is that the ventilation is really good.
The third-class cabin was full of people with big bags and small bags, and they took up a lot of space, but fortunately, Wallace was still able to find a place to sit.
A man who looked like a small businessman also took the initiative to talk to him------ first asked him how much luggage he had brought, then he was close to him, and finally said: "I see that you are in strong health, why don't you help me get some luggage when I get off the boat, can I pay you a hundred cents?" ”
This man had brought two pieces of luggage that were more than half a person tall, and it was not known how he brought them.
Wallace shrugged and said, "When you go out, everyone has difficulties, and you should help each other, and you don't need money." ”
The little merchant was delighted, and said, "Although you are white, you have learned from my good righteousness on the island of Liuqiu------ thank you in advance." ”
He thought happily that when he got on the ship, he asked the dock porter to help him carry it up, and he actually collected 200 yuan from himself, which was really greedy for money!
Nothing to say all the way.
When he arrived at the Badaohe Ferry Terminal, Wallace found that it was dead and heavy, and he wondered if it was filled with pure lead shells.
The small merchant quickly explained that he was a merchant specializing in marble products, and that he had brought some marble samples from the mountains this time.
Hehe, so it's definitely heavier.
No one knows when people called those colorful stones marble, and when building houses, they also liked to use them to pave the ground, so there are more people engaged in this business, and the competition is still fierce.
Wallace didn't expect that the thinner-looking businessman would have the strength to carry that piece of luggage and keep up with him.
When the two of them got off the boat and arrived on the dock, they were all sweating profusely.
The little merchant gasped and said, "Come down, I'll call a rickshaw to my shop in a moment, where my wife is looking after it."
Let's go, I'll ask you to take a shower. ”
The little merchant didn't want to take advantage of Wallace, he knew that there was a bathhouse bath for only fifty yuan per person, and he could also order a pot of good tea for fifty yuan, and he made a deal with this white friend.
