Chapter 214: Distress at Sea
Xu Tiantian watched Xuan Ye put down his chopsticks and stood up again, cleaning up the things on the table.
"Seeing that it is already late autumn, and there are not many ingredients in the store anymore, I want to make one last trip to the sea before the sea freezes in winter, and prepare all the seafood needed in winter, so as not to exceed demand at that time."
Li Xiaohui also stood up after hearing what Xu Tiantian said, and wanted to go to sea with her, since she was pregnant until she gave birth to a child, she had not been to the sea for nearly a year and a half, and she liked the feeling of facing the wind on the boat.
"Tiantian, I can't do so many people to follow, one more me, not more than one and no less, or I'll go with you, I've been staying in the palace these days, or it's a little boring to stay in this store."
Xu Tiantian smiled a little helplessly, "You are already a mother, behind Shen Qiri and Jia Xuanye, what if you come out with me to call the child?" ”
Li Xiaohui felt a little lost after hearing what Xu Tiantian said, but she thought that if she left rashly, she was afraid that Shen Qi and a man really didn't know how to take care of the child.
"Don't worry, when the weather is better next spring, and when the children are older, I will take you out with me, and I am not in a hurry at this time. What's more, when I go to the sea, there must be someone to take care of this store, Xuanye is getting busier and busier day by day, and it is absolutely impossible to leave you in this store. ”
Li Xiaohui nodded Xu Tiantian's words, she likes to listen to them very much, although she does not have Xu Tiantian's brains in business, but when it comes to accounting, she is better than anyone in the store.
After dinner in the evening, Xuan Ye went to Xu Tiantian's yard to sit for a while, Xu Tiantian will go to sea tomorrow, and he always feels restless this time.
"Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, you must pay attention to protect yourself, and bring some thick clothes, the sea is colder than the land, if there is anything, you must remember to report to me as soon as possible."
Xu Tiantian nodded, took a word and threw it into her mouth, only to feel that Xuan Ye was nagging like a woman.
"Xuanye, don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child anymore, not to mention it's not the first time I've gone to sea, I can naturally take care of myself, but after I leave, Xiaoshi will have to bother you to take care of it for a few days."
Xiao Shi has been studying in the past few days, and he will be admitted to the Jinshi in two months, Xiaoshi's head is very smart, and it is indeed a piece of reading material, if he can be admitted to the Jinshi, then they will finally have an official master in Dongcheng.
Xuan Ye nodded, the only thing Xu Tiantian couldn't rest assured about every time he went to sea was the small stone, so when he left, he would always tell him a few more words about the habits of the small stone.
Xu Tiantian saw that there was always a faint worry in Xuan Ye's eyes, he knew that he was worried about himself, after all, they had experienced a tsunami together, smiled softly, took Xuan Ye's hand and patted the back of his hand, comforting for a while.
"When I'm done with this time, I won't have to go to sea again this year, and I can have a good rest for another year in winter, and then I'll play chess with you again?"
Xuan Ye could naturally hear that Xu Tiantian was comforting himself, smiled softly, raised his head and looked at the sky, it was already late, and the stars were clearly and dimmed in the sky.
"It's not early, you have to get up early tomorrow morning to go to sea, rest early."
Xu Tiantian nodded and watched Xuan Ye leave.
Although it has been autumn, there is no autumn breath on the face, the wind is calm and the sun shines on the sea surface sparkling, and there are some reflections that make people unable to open their eyes for a while, Xu Tiantian likes to stand on the board every time he goes to sea.
She herself can clearly feel that her sense of smell seems to be becoming more and more sensitive, sometimes passing by a sea area, just smelling the smell, she can know what fresh species are in this sea area, let the accompanying few guys cast the net will definitely be a good harvest.
A guy looked at Xu Tiantian standing alone on the board of the boat and walked over and laughed, "Boss, how can the prince rest assured that you took us out like this today?" In the past, whenever the proprietress wanted to go to sea, the prince always instructed us before and after the saddle. ”
Xu Tiantian smiled, stretched out a hand and pretended to hit him, "It's everywhere, you can work quickly!" ”
Since the discovery of crayfish, the business in the store has become more and more popular, crayfish have naturally become a hot product, their main purpose this time to go to sea is to try their luck, to see if they can catch more crayfish back, but this boat has been walking for a long time, they have several nets, although they have also harvested, but did not catch crayfish.
Xu Tiantian had some doubts in her heart, this crayfish is a product of the sea, could it be that there is no one in the sea?
"Boss, we've been gone for so long, you better eat an orange first, you're weak, the prince specially instructed us, let us take care of you."
After three days of drifting at sea, a guy walked towards Xu Tiantian with an orange.
This was specially instructed by Xu Tiantian, because some of the remaining crew members before would always be nauseous, and scurvy would occur from time to time, most of which were caused by lack of vitamins, so when they were on board, Xu Tiantian was used to letting them buy a basket of oranges.
Xu Tiantian nodded, took the orange and looked at the wind blowing next to him, peeled the orange and put it in his mouth.
A gust of wind blew, and she suddenly encountered a very familiar smell, and then immediately became excited, it was the smell of crayfish!
"Little Liu, go and tell the guys to cast a net not far in front, be sure to spread a little deeper! Use the net with the smallest grid. ”
Xiao Liu nodded, every time Xu Tiantian was so confident, they never threw themselves into the air when they spoke.
The guys on the boat were chatting in groups, but after hearing Xu Tiantian's words, they hurriedly put down the things in their hands and took the net and threw it down.
After a while, the net that was cast down became a whirlpool, and Xu Tiantian stared at the sea tightly, "Pull the net!" ”
Xu Tiantian gave an order, and the guys on the boat were full of energy, shouting slogans to pull the net up.
Sure enough, a large number of red shrimp were on the net, waving their claws one by one, and with the experience of dealing with them before, the guys found a few buckets and hurriedly packed the shrimp into the barrels.
"Hostess, it's amazing. We never know where there are more things and where there are fewer things, the proprietress only said one sentence, as long as we follow along, we will never draw water. ”
Xu Tiantian smiled a little embarrassedly, if he didn't know why he suddenly had such superpowers, would others believe it?
When a few people were officially laughing, suddenly a wind rose on the sea, which was so powerful that the entire hull swayed, and several guys on the boat swayed.
Xu Tiantian grabbed the rope next to her tightly, and barely allowed herself to stand up straight, but before she could react, another gust of wind was immediately set off.
Xiao Liu followed Xu Tiantian for the longest time and the most times, and when he saw such a scene, he naturally understood what the situation was, and hurriedly ran to Xu Tiantian's side to stabilize his figure.
"Boss, we may have encountered a strong wind, what are we going to do now?"
Xu Tiantian frowned tightly, she naturally saw this form, but autumn was supposed to be the safest season, how could she suddenly encounter a storm?
Xu Tiantian raised her head and looked around, there happened to be a dock not far away, "Let's find a nearby place to stop the boat first." ”
Fortunately, they had already harvested a lot of seafood, and they were already preparing to go home, if they were in the middle of the sea, they were afraid that they would be in trouble now.
Several guys on the boat hurriedly turned the direction of the boat and headed towards the dock, but the speed of the boat was never as fast as the wind, and a wind wave came over and drowned the boat, Xu Tiantian looked at the waves that hit the boat, and exhaled deeply, so that he could calm down as soon as possible.
Xiaoliu has received Xu Tiantian's favor, and when something like this happens, she has always followed Xu Tiantian, for fear that she will make a mistake.
I don't know what happened, but suddenly the cabin began to leak, and the whole ship had a faint tendency to sink. If they had not come near the shore, they would have fallen into the sea and drowned before a wave could come.
"The hostess's cabin is already leaking, I'm afraid that it won't be long before the ship will sink."
Xu Tiantian clutched the sail tightly, if there was no experienced captain at the moment, he would probably not be able to control this posture.
Xu Tiantian glanced at the things on the boat, and immediately decided: "Throw all the seafood down and reduce the weight of the boat as much as possible!" ”
In any case, she must make sure that these fellows go back safely.
Xiao Liu was a little reluctant in his heart, "But these are all ...... that we have worked hard to catch."
"These are all things outside the body, is life important, or is these seafood important?"
A few of the guys on the boat nodded, and then hurriedly threw all the unnecessary things on the ship.
Getting closer and closer to the dock, another fierce wave came over, drowning the boat, Xu Tiantian's body was already soaked, and the wind and waves were constantly sitting opposite the boat, and Xu Tiantian's strength was exhausted.
Xiaoliu grabbed Xu Tiantian's arm tightly, "Boss lady, boss lady!" ”
"Looking at the board on the boat, Xu Tiantian calmed down, Xiaoliu, you and the little stool The two of you hold on tightly to this board, jump off the boat and it won't sink!"
