Lin Daiyu and Jin Xiaobao got on the boat and were invited into a first-class cabin on the second floor.

The cabin is not very large, but very small, so narrow that it can't be called first class at all, it's just a double room with an area of more than ten square meters, and the luxurious first class cabin on a passenger ship can't be compared at all.

But who made this ship a cargo ship, it is quite good to have such a position, you must know that there are four first-class cabins on this ship, Gao Hongsheng and Hong Jincai can share a room, and it is already quite good to give them one, but this is also temporary, after the boat is opened, Gao Hongsheng wants to lock up the three girls together.

The facilities inside are very complete, there is a small bathroom, there is a wooden bathtub in it, hot water is supplied once a day before going to bed at night, two folding wooden beds fixed on the wall, usually put away, put down when sleeping, a small round table is fixed in the middle of the room, four European-style back chairs, the wall side of the wooden bed is two wardrobes embedded in the wall, and there is a half-height mirror on the wardrobe. Facing the door is a porthole, through which you can clearly see the busy harbor outside.

A tea set was already set up on the round table, but it was different from the gaiwan tea they used, just a modern large purple sand teapot with a tea bucket and four purple sand teacups that were upside down in a black lacquer tray.

The herbal tea had already been brewed in the teapot, and after the little minion who led the way entered the door, he politely turned over the two teacups from the tray, lifted the teapot and filled the two teacups with tea, and then said "Please use tea", followed by not waiting for them to react, turned around and walked out of the door to lock the hatch.

It would be too stupid if the two of them hadn't understood it now, Lin Daiyu grabbed the door in a few steps and stretched out her hand, and found that the door was locked, and turned to Jin Xiaobao dejectedly: "It's over, it's broken, that high shopkeeper is not a good stubble, it will affect you." ”

Jin Xiaobao had already reacted, and smiled sadly: "They are all sisters, what is not involved." Ay! It's okay, just think that the high shopkeeper is just out of anger, and we will just pay more smiles when the time comes. ”

The two of them also knew that no one would take care of themselves even if they shouted to break the sky, since they already knew that people were going to vent their evil anger, they naturally would not come to see them before they were angry, and it was not a big deal, so they comforted each other and sat at the round table chatting and gossiping to pass the time, they didn't expect that Gao Hongsheng would leave Beijing in the afternoon, if it was like that, it would have been a fuss a long time ago.

After arranging Lin Daiyu and Jin Xiaobao, the little minions hurriedly ran to the deck to report to Gao Hongsheng and them, and said with a flattering smile: "Shopkeeper, the two of them haven't turned around yet, and they were locked up in the cabin by the small one, when will you go to see it." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, give orders to go down, they won't open the door when they shout and cut their throats, let's leave the boat in the afternoon and talk about it in the evening." After speaking, he glanced at Hong Jincai with his eyes and said, "Hey! Third brother! Why don't I find a place to spend the night in the night, and the cabin will be yours? ”

Hong Jincai's eyes lit up, and he smiled and said: "Okay, good, good, the one who knows me is also Brother Gao, I have wronged my brother, hehe." ”

Isn't that cheap? I'm just joking, why did the third brother take it seriously? Isn't this self-inflicted guilt?

You must know that there are only a few good rooms on this boat, and the others are rooms for eight people and more than a dozen people, and the good rooms have long been snatched up, otherwise they can't squeeze a room with Hong Jincai, not to mention that they caught so many maids and sisters yesterday, the room is already full, and now even Sai Jinhua lives with her maids, and even Wang Da Beauty has changed the room to a four-person room, so she can't sleep on the deck by herself.

But it's also good to sleep on the deck, mainly because it's early autumn, the temperature is still very high, and sleeping on the deck at night is much more comfortable than in the cabin, not to mention that it's not sleeping on the deck alone, many minions are also tired of being stuffy in the cabin and are bunked on the deck, but it's so cheap Hong Jincai doesn't seem to be good.

"Third brother! I'll sleep on the deck, little brother, but, third brother. As soon as Gao Hongsheng finished speaking, Hong Jincai grabbed the words and said: "Don't do it, as long as you say it, it may be no good thing, okay, I'm afraid that you can't do it, so I'll stay overnight today." Tomorrow you will live by yourself, this kind of is okay. ”

"Hehe, the third brother still understands me, thank you the third brother." After speaking, Gao Hongsheng smiled.

At this time, Albert and John, together with Captain Aiken, also went to the deck to find Gao Hongsheng and them, mainly whether they left Beijing on time in the afternoon.

Gao Hongsheng also wanted to leave the ship as soon as possible, so he asked about the loading situation, mainly the replenishment of coal, you must know that the era was all with steam engines, the endurance of the ship is not as far as in modern times, basically from Tianjing to Shangjing, the coal on the ship is used up about half, must be replenished here in Shangjing and then to Xiangjiang, you must know what will happen after going to sea, if something happens, I don't know how long it will take, so I try to fill the coal bunker before leaving.

Not to mention all kinds of vegetables, fruits, chickens, ducks, fish and meat, you must know that there was no refrigerator in that era, not even a freezer, when sailing at sea, you must supply these things along the way, otherwise you will wait to eat potatoes and soybeans every day, and at the same time there are several bilges that are dedicated to raising some animals, otherwise there is not even a fresh meat, these things are to be supplemented, not to mention that there is fresh water, which is a terrible thing, the steam engine must use fresh water, and seawater cannot be used.

The reason why a port can drive the prosperity of a region is because ships have to supply in the port, which is a considerable consumer group, and it is also a fat and oily sheep.

It's not bad, it can be replenished at about noon, mainly because Gao Hongsheng has a lot of money, and he doesn't care about that little bit of money at all, the price is fair, and the price of handling is also super high, and the coolies on the dock are full of energy, otherwise it will really take until the evening to replenish the supply.

At noon, Gao Hongsheng and Hong Jincai did not go off the deck, but set up a table on the deck to eat on the deck with Albert and them, while Lin Daiyu, Jin Xiaobao and Sai Jinhua were still locked in the cabin and the minions delivered lunch to the end, and they couldn't even see Gao Hongsheng in person.

Gao Hongsheng's plan is to wait for the ship to reach the sea, otherwise they will not give up, it will be difficult to convince if they don't give up, and when they get to the sea, they don't have the final say, they can do whatever they want, otherwise don't blame themselves for being polite.

During the meal, after Captain Aiken sounded the whistle three times, the cargo ship left the dock little by little under the surprised eyes of the three girls, and slowly left Shangjing and sailed into the Yangtze River channel under the leadership of the pilot ship at the port.

At this time, the three concubines really understood that they were really on the thief ship, and they jumped on their little feet one by one and cursed Gao Hongsheng for not being a good person.
