Chapter 35 The Yangtze River Waterway
The scenery of the Three Gorges is magnificent, and the young people who have adapted to the bumps on the ship are full of interest, and they rush to the deck as soon as the boat starts.
The deeper the boat went into the canyon, the tighter Xie Niancheng's brows furrowed as he stood beside the boat.
Xie Xinyong came over and asked, "Nian Cheng, why don't you go over and join them?" ”
Young men and women in the boat, stern and bow were having fun.
Xie Niancheng pointed to the reef in the heart of the river and said, "Fourth uncle, you said, the Three Gorges Channel is like this, and the transportation capacity is probably very limited." ”
Xie Xinyong has traveled this road many times, and now he is in charge of a shipping company, so he is also an insider in water transportation.
"What can be walked now is a ship of several hundred tons, but I think this waterway is still enough, and there is no problem in transporting people and goods."
Xie Niancheng shook his head: "Fourth uncle, it's not enough, in the next few years, the things we want to transport, maybe they add up to hundreds of thousands of tons, maybe a piece of goods is hundreds of tons, how can this kind of transportation work now?" ”
Xie Xinyong patted Xie Niancheng on the shoulder: "Are you worried about this now?" ”
"That's right, I'm thinking, what if the world is chaotic in the future, and we in Sichuan want to transport bulk goods in and out? In addition to the waterways being a problem, it is also questionable whether other people along the way will interfere with it. ”
Xie Xinyong is an optimistic character: "The human factor is not easy to say, the waterway, your fourth uncle has a way." ”
"Really? I see that the Three Gorges rapids and rapids are everywhere, and I have heard that it is very easy to capsize ships, and if the things that are transported in the future are expensive, the loss of capsizing a boat will be terrible. ”
"Nian Cheng, if it was the first two years, the fourth uncle didn't dare to say that there was a way, or Nian Cheng, you have the ability...... How did you forget the new explosives you made up? The most dangerous thing about the Three Gorges Channel is all kinds of reefs, and I have seen the power of new explosives, and there is no problem in blowing up reefs, but I don't know if the cost of producing explosives is high. ”
Xie Niancheng suddenly became enlightened, yes, why did he forget the new explosives?
With the new type of explosives, not to mention dredging the Three Gorges waterway, it is also possible to build railways in the mountains and mountains of eastern and northern Sichuan. Xie Niancheng's mind was racing, he took out a pen and paper from the cabin, found a chair to lie down and began to write and calculate, pondering how to mass-produce new explosives.
Seeing Xie Niancheng's focused appearance, Xie Xinyong smiled slightly and quietly walked away.
Xie Niancheng has been like this since he was a child, when he concentrates on something, all other things in the world have nothing to do with him.
By the time Xie Niancheng finished thinking about this matter, it was already evening, and the boat was about to leave the Three Gorges.
Xie Niancheng let out a long breath, and after a day of thinking, he came to the conclusion that if everything went well in his preparations, there would be no problem with the production of explosives.
Xie Niancheng's thoughts returned to this world.
At this time, the girls were all in the bow of the boat, looking into the distance against the river breeze.
The river in front of us has become much wider, and the mountains are getting shorter and shorter.
The ship has already left the Three Gorges and arrived in Hubei.
Xie Niancheng was never embarrassed because there were many girls, so he got up from the chair and walked into the group of girls.
The other men in the back gave thumbs up.
"The captain is just amazing, I want to go, but I don't dare."
"Nonsense, who is the captain, who are you? Look in the mirror. ”
The members of the commando team gossiped for a while, continued to blow their river breeze, and secretly smelled the smell of the girls on the bow of the boat.
Zhao Ke was wearing a white dress today, standing on the side of the boat, the river breeze ruffled her long hair, and the beauty from the side was suffocating.
Xie Niancheng unconsciously felt that his heartbeat was a little faster, and he looked at the other girls, who didn't seem to be as good-looking as Zhao Ke. Thinking of Ye Xiaoqiu's ridicule about his sweetheart, Xie Niancheng also had some questions, did he really like Zhao Ke?
Damn, I wouldn't have quit the marriage if I knew it.
Suddenly thinking that he had a new bet with Zhao Ke, Xie Niancheng coughed twice.
"Zhao Ke, I remember we made another bet, right?"
Zhao Ke was a little uneasy, she didn't dare to doubt Xie Niancheng's "literary talent" now, and she was already telling forgiveness between her words: "I don't wear too strange clothes." ”
Xie Niancheng was very proud when he saw that Zhao Ke was scared.
Anyway, I've already copied several songs, so I'll keep copying them.
"Students, I have come up with a new poem, read it out for everyone to listen to, okay?"
"Yay......"
Zhou Xintong applauded.
On this boat, she is the most fond of literature.
Xie Niancheng put his hands behind his back, looked up at 45 degrees, and began to "compose poems": "Between the white emperor and the clouds, thousands of miles of Jiangling will be returned in one day." The apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying, and the light boat had already crossed the ten thousand mountains. ”
"Xie Niancheng, your poem is so good." Zhou Xintong was sincerely admired.
Zhao Ke silently recited it several times in his heart, and he had to admit that this poem was really excellent.
Xie Niancheng was proud in his heart, and his face was light: "I just feel it, and I feel it." ”
Next to him, Ye Xiaoqiu couldn't hold back a "poof" smile, Xie Niancheng, a young man who showed off in front of his sweetheart, could hide it from other little girls, where could he hide from Ye Xiaoqiu's eyes.
She smiled like this, Xie Niancheng couldn't pretend to be a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhao Ke was still immersed in the beauty of poetry and writing, and he didn't find Xie Niancheng's ridiculous performance.
Over there, Kagura and Sister Cannon have been fishing for a whole day and still haven't decided a winner, Haruko in the kitchen is learning from the chef how to make pickled pepper fish heads, while Athena and Limbori are chatting about something, and CC is carrying a small medicine box to take care of the sick.
Xie Xinyong came over and called away Xie Niancheng, who was pretending to be forced.
"Nian Cheng, how about it, is it possible to dredge the Three Gorges?"
"Fourth uncle, it's really not the right time for you to come." Xie Nian said sincerely, and before leaving, he glanced at Zhao Ke meaningfully, as if to say, "Sister, you lost the bet again." ”
That night, when the boat arrived in Yichang, Xie Xinyong had already booked an inn, and after everyone rested, he continued on the road.
After the boat passed through Yichang, there were more boats on the river, the customs and customs were very different from Sichuan, everything was so novel, and the interest of the young people was getting higher and higher.
Xie Niancheng took a set of Western-style skirts from Ye Xiaoqiu that even Ye Xiaoqiu was shy to wear, and looked for Zhao Ke everywhere.
When he met Zhao Ke, Zhao Ke saw the small package in his hand and was not flustered.
Xie Niancheng raised his hand: "Zhao Ke, this time, you can't rely on it." ”
Zhao Kexing's eyes widened and she looked innocent: "What can't you rely on?" ”
"We bet twice, you lose, I'm here to collect the bet, hehe."
Zhao Ke tilted his head, "Yes, you wait." ”
The conversation between the two attracted the rest of the ship, and the bet between them was already well known.
The male livestock knew Xie Niancheng's temper, and the clothes he chose, Zhao Ke would definitely put them on...... Everyone is looking forward to it.
Seeing Zhao Ke walking towards his house, someone coaxed: "Miss Zhao, you haven't taken Captain Xie's clothes yet, you are willing to lose the bet, don't you fall on the bills......"
Zhao Ke listened, and his steps sped up a lot.
Xie Niancheng smiled, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Xu Sihu, and Xie Niancheng gave him an approving look, which made Huzi grin.
"The captain praised me, haha, it seems that my brother is really proficient in the way of picking up girls." Huzi began to praise himself.
The two team members next to him looked at each other, could it be that the captain and Huzi were really okay like this? His eyes began to glance at the other girls on the bow of the boat.
Zhao Ke entered the house and walked out not long after.
took three rolls of paper in his hand, walked up to Xie Niancheng and handed them over: "Here you go, I wrote all the poems you wrote for you." ”
Xie Niancheng picked one and opened it and was a little surprised, although he didn't know calligraphy, Zhao Ke's words were beautiful and powerful, and even he, a layman, thought it looked good.
"How?"
Zhao Ke was very satisfied with Xie Niancheng's reaction, and his chin was slightly raised, like a proud little princess.
"No, we made a bet and said yes, I taught you how to write it."
"What? You taught me to write? Okay, you write right away, as long as your handwriting is better than mine, then you can teach me, and you can teach me by hand. ”
Zhao Ke is full of confidence.
No, no, Xie Niancheng saw a hint of conspiracy in Zhao Ke's smile.
Xie Niancheng's calligraphy, pen writing is at an average level, and the words of the brush are simply unsightly, but Zhao Ke and Zhou Xintong have never seen their own handwriting.
Thinking of this, Xie Niancheng turned his head and glared at several girls from the Xie family, and made an exit shape in his mouth: "Yes, where, a, eat, inside, ly, outside, of, home, guy, out, sell, me?" ”
When Zhao Ke spoke, several girls laughed flamboyantly. Now seeing Xie Niancheng look at it, everyone is extremely calm.
At this moment, it must be that all the girls are united against him.
"Big brother, it's none of my business, I don't know anything." Haruko left in a panic.
"Let's go, go fishing, we haven't decided yet!" Sister Pao is also gone.
"Well, I'm not afraid of you." Kagura disappeared into the bow of the ship as soon as the figure took off and fell.
"Don't look at me, I'm fine." CC blinked and walked away with beautiful big eyes.
"Captain, review yourself more!" Athena shook her head and left.
“……”
Ling Boli didn't squint, and almost bumped into Xie Niancheng.
Xie Niancheng was so angry in his heart, a gust of wind blew, and he heard Xie Xinyong talking in front of Ye Xiaoqiu.
"Hey, Xiaoqiu, I told you before, Nian Cheng, this kid was very skinny when he was a child, at that time I taught him to write, asked him to write a word a hundred times, he was good, made a shelf and installed ten pens, one write ten, so that word, rotten like a dog crawling......"
Xie Niancheng was furious: "Fourth uncle......, how can you do this?" ”
"What's like that? Am I wrong? ”
"Slow down, slow down, why don't you look good? What about CC? I'll go to CC and get you some medicine. ”
Xie Xinyong fled in the wilderness.
Ye Xiaoqiu looked at the two uncles and nephews who were chasing and was a little helpless, when will these two boys, one big and one young, become men, but this look seems to be much cuter than those well-dressed "men" whose faces will never change.
