Chapter 924: Cotton on the Road (7)

After several months of intensive training, the soldiers have mastered the basic skills of running the boat, and the accumulation of experience and various instinctive reactions when taking charge of the ship are all immediate.

The soldiers not only knew how to row a small boat, but even the bucket boat they learned how to set sail cooperatively under the tutelage of Village Chief Jia, and made a few laps around the bay, but the level was not enough to go to the sea for actual combat, and they had to practice for a few more months.

But in any case, there was no shortage of boats, much less clean fresh water, and immediately the soldiers rocked the boats back to the south shore where the big camp was located to fill the water, and the interpreter, who was dressed in fancy clothes, was invited into a deserted barracks to rest for a while.

More than half an hour later, several small boats came back with huge sheepskin water bags full of swollen water, and then the village chief Jia also untied the cable of his small boat, and the interpreter came out of the barracks, plus Ma Zhiwen, the head of the hundred and two personal soldiers, and the five of them took two small boats and sailed to the five building boats together.

The three of them had a good conversation in the barracks before, since the cotton of the five ships was delivered, it must be sold, and it didn't matter where the buyers came from, just pay for it.

Such a large transaction, Ma Zhiwen has to submit the document to Bai Qing first, and Village Chief Jia doesn't have to worry so much, he can call the shots alone, ask the price on the spot, and say that he can also bring in big buyers, Ma Zhiwen knew who he was going to pull in when he heard it, and Qi Ke, the famous female deputy village chief of Siliu Village, Erma Town, was definitely interested.

Since the price is discussed, the interpreter naturally says that he can't be the master, but he can take them on board to talk to the captain, who is also the owner of the cargo and is fully responsible.

Universal Commercial Bank operates its own island cotton plantations and merchant ships, and the captain is the owner of the goods, so there is nothing wrong with it.

The small fleet swayed to the vicinity of the big ship and then dispersed, the two small boats leaned towards a big boat in a group, no words shouted and gestured at all, the two sides seemed to be connected in an instant, the big boat dropped the big net and hung it on the side of the boat, the soldiers in the boat put the water bag into the net and let it pull up, at the same time, the village chief Jia and the five of them stepped on the rope ladder put down by Ocean No. 1 and got on the boat.

The captain was waiting at the side of the ship.

I just forced myself to get used to the bells and whistles of the interpreters on the ship, thinking that the ship was full of similar dress, but Ma Zhiwen took a closer look after they stood firm on the deck, and the clothes on the real crew were extremely uniform, all green, even the length of the hair was the same, all of them were inches long, and they looked very sharp, so that Ma Zhiwen couldn't help but feel envious, this spirit alone was much stronger than the soldiers under him.

The captain has a rectangular metal badge pinned to the left chest pocket, the main body is a sphere painted with longitude and latitude lines, the four words of the global trading house are directly above the sphere, a little lower is the convex pattern of a galleon, and the lower part of the middle is a long belt, engraved with the word captain, and the bottom slightly reveals the lower arc of the sphere.

Simply and clearly indicate the identity and position.

The captain took the initiative to say hello and stretched out his right hand to shake hands.

Ma Zhiwen was obviously stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what the other party said or didn't understand what this stretched out his hand meant, but fortunately, Village Chief Jia on the side reached out to shake hands with the other party in time, and then Ma Zhiwen reacted, stretching out his right hand to shake hands with each other.
