At the gate of the Steel Hammer shipyard, all the workers who had been busy stopped and stared at Jarvey who was walking step by step with a look of surprise. They all heard the conversation just now, and learned about Jarvey's identity, but they still couldn't believe it, and they were whispering about it.

"Is this true or not, that old man actually claims to be a shipbuilder Jia Wei, I have heard of his name a long time ago, I heard that his shipbuilding level is quite high, and he can even build special ships."

"Who knows if it's true or not, maybe it's bragging, how could a big man like that come to a place like Jingtie Island?"

"It would be bad if it was true, we didn't say a lot of bad things about him on weekdays, and we used to drive him over......"

These whispers all fell into An Rui's ears, which made him feel a little funny, these workers must have regarded Jia Wei as an ordinary old man on weekdays, who would have thought that this old man who always likes to watch the excitement has such a high status and has amazing shipbuilding skills.

Although Javi was old, his ears were not deaf, and he also heard these whispers, and he walked up to the group of workers and shouted: "Hey, little bunnies, you guys who owe it, you always speak ill of me behind my back, thinking that I can't hear behind my ears." I'll tell you, I'm just an adult who doesn't remember villains, and I'm too lazy to bother with you little rabbits, but in fact, I heard everything you said. Let me tell you one more thing, the mistakes you make in your daily shipbuilding are simply outrageous, ruining one good ship after another. This time I will personally supervise the construction of a new ship from you, and when the time comes, you will learn a little harder, even if you learn a tenth of my ability, it will be enough for you to use for a lifetime. ”

The workers reacted mixedly, with those who believed in Jarvey running in and saying something nice, and those who didn't believe Jarvi remained silent.

Under the watchful eyes of this group of workers, An Rui and his party entered the dock, which was much more noisy and more numerous than outside. Jarvey was familiar with the place, and led directly to the captain's office and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man, who looked to be about forty years old, was well-dressed, with neatly groomed hair and beard, and a hammer-shaped pin made of pure gold pinned to his neckline. When he saw that the person knocking on the door was Jia Wei, the middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said, "Uncle Dawson, what kind of wind blew you here?" On weekdays, when I invite you to come, you won't come in and sit down. ”

"When I don't have anything to do, I naturally don't bother to come over and disturb you." Jia Wei shrugged his shoulders, turned around, and said to Anrui, "Anrui, this is the factory director." He and I knew each other, and when I went to sea, he was just a neighbor's kid. ”

With a smile on his face, An Rui stepped forward to shake hands with the factory director and said a few polite words.

Jia Wei acted as an intermediary and introduced each other's identities to both parties and introduced them to each other.

The director of the factory seemed very enthusiastic, and after shaking hands with comfort, he immediately invited everyone into the room to talk, and ordered people to make a few cups of coffee for the guests.

However, An Rui didn't come here to drink coffee, and the chair under his butt hadn't been warmed up, so he said his intention, and expressed his intention to ask Jia Wei to build a ship here.

After hearing this, the factory director seemed very surprised, he knew Jia Wei's identity, and naturally knew that Jia Wei had already retired and was no longer building ships for others. Privately, he had invited Javi several times, but he was all refused.

Jarvey's explanation for this doubt is: "I just made an exception on a whim, and you don't expect me to return to my old business and continue to be a shipbuilder." After I build this ship, I will continue to live my comfortable life. ”

"Okay. Looks like I'll have to dismiss the idea of hiring you. But don't be too sorry, even if your old man returns to his old business, he will not choose my small shipyard, but will choose the old owners. The factory director laughed at himself, and then turned his head to look at An Rui, "Mr. An Rui, what kind of sailing ship do you plan to build, tell me, and I will prepare shipbuilding materials for you as soon as possible." For the sake of Master Javi's face, I guarantee that every piece of wood used to build the ship is selected from a thousand sources. ”

"I want a small boat, with a mast that is enough, and it is light and flexible. As for the materials, I would like to specify some special materials, the main body of the hull should be made of 'Tieli wood', the keel should be made of 'Thundering Demon Tree', the canvas should be woven with 'black ** spider silk', and the cannon should be made of 'deep-sea fine iron'. I know that these materials are worth a lot of money, and that deposit is far from enough to buy them, but you can rest assured, I will find a way to get some of them myself, and as for the rest of the construction costs, I will make up for them as soon as possible. An Rui spoke eloquently and said all his thoughts.

"Tieli Wood, Thundering Demon Tree, Black ** Spider Silk, Deep Sea Essence Iron...... These are quite good materials, and if you use them to build a ship, you should be able to build a ship that can reach the bronze level. All of these materials are worth a lot of money, and when combined, they should amount to about 500 gold coins. In particular, deep-sea refined iron, which is rare and difficult to buy on the market, is the most expensive of these materials. At this point, the factory director changed to a tone of some uncertainty, "Anrui, are you sure you can get these materials?" Materials such as deep-sea refined iron have always had a price, and even if you have money, you can't buy it. ”

"Don't worry, since I have chosen these materials, I will definitely be able to get them. These materials are all specialties of Jingtie Island, and as long as you find a way, you can always get them. Among these materials, if Tieli wood is the easiest to buy, you must have a lot of them here, so use this material to make the hull of the ship first. As for the other materials, I will send them over one after another, and I will ensure that the shipbuilding progress will not be delayed. An Rui said lightly.

"Alright, just do as you say, we'll make the hull out of Tieli wood first, and we'll make the rest after you send the materials." The director nodded and said.

"Yes, these materials you kid chose are very much in line with my heart, if you use ordinary materials to build ships, it will be meaningless, and it is the same to find someone else to make them. Only by using these high-quality materials to build ships can I bring out my shipbuilding skills. Javi interjected, looking very satisfied.

The matter of shipbuilding was thus settled, and the few men then discussed many details, as well as the question of wages. The Steel Hammer Shipyard opened its doors to do business, so naturally it could not do a loss-making business, and it had to charge a certain fee. For the sake of Jia Wei's face, the factory director made a discount and reduced the price to the minimum, which is quite kind.

After chatting about business, the time moved to noon, and it was time to eat. The factory director chatted about the friendship of the landlord and invited An Rui and others to have a meal.

By the time Anrui had everything done and left the shipyard, it was already afternoon. He walked side by side with Shafi on the beach and began to walk back, leaving two trails of footprints, deep and shallow.

The waves crash on the beach in cascades, washing away the trails on it, occasionally washing shellfish and crabs ashore and dragging small things back into the sea. The sound of the waves rattling is like a natural melody.

"Today went well, and it looks like we're going to have to celebrate again." An Rui said with a smile as he walked, turning his head as he spoke, glancing at the side of Shafi's face.

Outlined by the afternoon sun, Shafi's side face reveals a charming curve, whether it is the forehead, nose or lips, all have very soft curves. Those eyes were like ocean waves, glowing with a faint brilliance, and they were adorned with long, curved eyelashes.

"Even if you want to celebrate, you can't drink too much alcohol, I still remember the lesson from last time." After Sha Fei's words came out, probably thinking of this morning's embarrassment, her expression stiffened, and her cheeks flew into an almost undetectable flush.

"That was a lesson for me, too, and I promise I won't drink that much again." An Rui habitually touched his chin and smiled bitterly.

"Where are we going next? Is it going back to the hotel or going somewhere else? Shafi digressed, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Don't go back to the hotel yet, we have other things to do. As you've heard before, we still lack a lot of shipbuilding materials, and we have to find a way to get our hands on them. All of these materials are worth a lot of money, and if we buy them with money, we don't have the financial resources at all, so we have to think of other ways. ”

"What's the solution?"

"What else can I do, of course, is to go directly to the origin of the material. Thundering Demon Tree, Black ** Spider Silk, Deep Sea Essence Iron...... These materials are all available on the Iron Island, and as long as you have the ability, you can get them. Thankfully, both of us happen to be capable people. Anrui smiled and winked at Shafi.

"Well, I'll do my best to help you, and I'll definitely get those materials." Sha Fei patted the scimitar hanging from her waist as she spoke, and her body was a little more sassy and heroic.

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, you have to be mentally prepared, I'm afraid we'll have to suffer a lot for it. Among these materials, if the black ** spider silk is the easiest to obtain, we will first collect this material, and then go to the idea of other materials. ”

"Where do I have to collect the black ** spider silk?"

"The black ** is a large poisonous spider, and the black ** spider silk refers to the spider web it weaves, and it also stores some in its stomach. There is a group of black ** inhabitants on Jingtie Island, and we have to go to their habitat to collect spider silk. Before you go, you have to buy some antidotes just in case. Everything is in a hurry, and we will go buy the antidote later. ”

"To be honest, I'm a little scared of spiders." A wistful look of worry appeared on Shafi's face. In the past, she was a murderous female pirate with the courage of an ambitious leopard, but after losing her memory, these dares disappeared.

"Anyone who sees such a big spider will be scared, but we can't help it, we have to restrain this fear. Think about what you just said, you said you would do everything you could to help me. An Rui encouraged.

"Okay. I try my best. ”

"By the way, before you get to the black ** habitat, you have to pass through another dangerous area, where the danger is no small either."

"What's that place?"

"The Misty Forest, a place with visibility less than ten yards, is shrouded in fog all year round, and there is a murderous motive hidden in the fog." When An Rui spoke, his face was a little more solemn.
