Chapter 324: Ten Thousand Mountains and Lao Pu
"Gail, were you so serious when you weren't discharged from the army? Are all the soldiers on the ship afraid of you? Hong Tao sat on the sofa, looking at the lights in the city farther and farther away, turned his head and began to tease old Gail again, this is his basic attribute, he can not eat, he can not smoke, and he can't stop talking.
"You haven't been a soldier, you don't understand that feeling, especially in the navy, you have to be responsible for yourself and your companions when you get on board, if you are my subordinate, it only takes 2 years for me to train you to be a qualified sailor, no matter who it is." Old Gale is still his theory of being a soldier.
"How about letting Tao wipe the deck for 2 hours? Let him rub it with Harrison, haha Pavey sat in front, lustful as he sailed.
"I'm going to help Harrison fish this time, so that he ends up catching more than you, and see how you, the first mate of the Navy, lose to an Army." Hong Tao is not stage frightened at all.
"I'm just kidding, of course you're much cuter than Harrison." Pavey wanted to be tougher, but remembering Harrison's face after the big victory over him, he decided not to make too many enemies, especially Hong Tao, a guy with a talent for fishing.
"Don't worry about my state, I enjoy this kind of life at sea, thanks to you and Mr. Liu, come on, let's open a bottle of wine and have a drink." Old Gail actually understood in his heart that he just didn't treat Hong Tao as an outsider, so he was 100% immersed in his feelings, just like Pavey, no matter how weird Old Gail was, he could understand.
"Drink it, I'll go get some fruit and ice." Hong Tao opened the refrigerator and saw that there was no ice in it.
"Don't drink your Chinese liquor, we still have to sail the boat, we can't stand that." Old Gale then chased after him, and it seemed that he was already very afraid of Chinese baijiu.
The first time to go to sea, no, it should be said that it is the first time to sail a boat on your own ability. This breakthrough is a very meaningful moment for young people such as Wang Jian, Liu Gang, and Erin, and it is also a very exciting thing.
Not only young people are excited, but even people like Boss Liu and Harrison, who have been in society for most of their lives, are also excited, after all, the sea is still very mysterious to most people. If you are not a person who lives by the sea all the year round or takes sailing as a profession, the most you know about the sea is to feel its fur from a few trips or TV shows, and now you can suddenly get in touch with the sea very closely, and you still have to rely on your own ability to compete with it, and no one can be very calm in their hearts.
When Hong Tao returned to the main cabin on the first floor to get ice cubes and fruits, the people below were having a small party, and various food and drinks were set up on the table. Everyone was holding wine glasses for Erin to take a photo, and when they saw Hong Tao coming down, they also pulled him in and took a few photos by the way.
"Don't be too happy, it's easy to get windy on the sea at night, if you don't want to spit out these good things for a while, don't forget to take medicine, a little white rabbit per person, whether you are faint or not, you have to eat it!" Hong Tao took the time to take a bottle of whiskey from the refrigerator and filled a small bucket of ice cubes. When I wanted to go back to the second floor, I suddenly saw 2 boxes of seasickness medicine on the bar, and it seemed that the package had not been opened, and I put back the foot stretching out to the stairs.
"Hong Tao, you're too disappointed. Let's go to the bow of the boat to see the sea view later, how romantic! Erin completely ignored Hong Tao's advice, and instead talked about how to have a romantic night at sea.
"That's right, I also made a boat to Dalian to watch the game. Where is it as serious as you say, buddy, I have not been seasick since I was a child, let alone seasickness. Wang Jian followed and made trouble. Oppose Hong Tao's proposal.
"I'm in the Air Force, it's much more difficult in the sky than here, I'm professionally trained, I don't take this medicine without a doctor's prescription." Harrison dragged it even more, moving out his pilot qualifications, and objected to taking such pills of unknown origin.
"Hong Tao is also kind, I support, I'll have a piece first, bear child, don't run, you have to eat it if I eat it, even if it's poison, you have to swallow it for me." Boss Liu is still quite reasonable, not only did he eat a slice himself, but also grabbed Liu Gang, who wanted to slip away, and forced him to stuff a slice.
"Cheng, you are my uncle, I advise you to eat better, otherwise the seasickness will be serious, not only will you be uncomfortable, but you will also have to drag others down, come, Erin, listen to my brother, set an example for them, eat." Hong Tao didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, he loved to eat or not, and when the time came, who would be uncomfortable would know.
But this is just a momentary emotion, everyone comes out to play together, and they are still on a boat, as the saying goes, when you get on a boat, you are a family, this sentence is very reasonable. Isolated on the sea, no matter who has a problem, it will affect the whole ship, and we are not an 18th-century slave ship, whoever is sick will be thrown into the sea.
In case someone falls ill because of seasickness, the only option is to return, and it becomes a question of whether they can go to sea again after such a toss back and forth, so Hong Tao still patiently persuaded everyone to take the medicine, and took Erin as a model, hoping that her actions could infect others.
"Well, I'll eat a slice then, Harrison, and you'll have to eat it too! Equality. Erin is very smart, although she doesn't quite understand why Hong Tao is so nervous, but she can feel Hong Tao's emotions, so she immediately switched sides, stood firmly with Hong Tao, and used a very far-fetched reason to solve Harrison's problem.
"Eat it, you can hurry up and be your interpreter, it will spoil our emotions." Wang Jian looked at it, yes, he was left alone, the fat boss was the first time to participate in this kind of activity, very well-behaved, the boat had not started, he took the pills.
"Here, cheers, and I wish us all the best on this mission." Old Gale seemed to be a bit of an occupational disease, with a wine glass in his hand and Hawaiian pants on his body, but the words of a professional soldier came out of his mouth.
"Cheers, Brother Pu, come, it's okay to drink less." Hong Tao also had a hard time grinding with this stubborn old man, and he also poured a small glass of whiskey and added some ice cubes to Lao Pu, who was standing next to Pavi.
"Cheers, big fish, we're coming!" Before everyone could lift their glasses, Pavi drank his wine in one gulp, then took off his shirt, revealing his fat and the thick yellow hair on his chest, and yelled at the sea with his neck pulled at him.
Wine strengthens people's courage; Or maybe it's the daring of the artist, the yacht is gradually increasing its speed under Pavey's control. At this time, the sea was very calm, there was neither wave nor swell, the sharp bow split the seawater, the white waves rose from the stern, and the whole boat seemed to be pushed by those white waves, and it was speeding on the black sea.
Wanshan Island is an island in the Wanshan Islands, located outside the mouth of the Pearl River, about 50 kilometers from Zhuhai, which has been a fishing village in the South China Sea since ancient times and one of the six major fishing grounds in China.
Lao Pu's home is in Wanshan Town on Wanshan Island, his family has lived here for generations, and his father, who is in his 60s, often takes young people out to sea to fish, and he has been going to sea with his grandfather, father and brothers since he was a child, and he grew up on a boat since he was a child.
However, the Pu family only has two fishing boats, one for his eldest brother and one for his second brother, and one for him and his father. In recent years, China's coastal fish resources have shrunk more and more, fishing has become farther and farther, and the cost is getting higher and higher, making money is not as easy as before, so Lao Pu has set his sights on Zhuhai City, planning to find some side jobs and subsidize his family.
Fishermen like Lao Pu learned all their skills from the sea, and they don't know anything when they go ashore. Fortunately, a number of yacht clubs have been established in Zhuhai in recent years, and many wealthy people have also bought their own yachts, but it is easy to buy a boat but it is difficult to drive a boat. If there is a yacht to go out to sea, regardless of whether the owner will drive the boat or not, you have to find one or two people like Lao Pu to follow the boat, they are not only familiar with the various routes in the South China Sea, but also can deal with many emergencies, with them is a kind of security, the richer the more afraid of death.
