Chapter 282: Female Engineer
My first reaction should have been that someone set fire to my room in order to destroy my materials and treasures - it's unlucky, I encountered such a situation on the first day I boarded the ship, could it be that Qin Lingjin's power has extended here? Or is my every move being watched?
Thinking of this, I felt a pang of worry in my heart.
Without thinking much about it, I followed York and ran down.
"Where is the fire?" I asked out loud as I ran down the stairs.
"Yes...... Kitchen! York shouted.
Oh! That's fine! It's me who is overthinking...... I instantly let go of the big stone in my heart!
We moved very quickly, and in two or three clicks we reached the galley position under the freighter. There was already a crowd of people at the door, and I saw a few crew members with fire extinguishers spraying those flames, and a puff of smoke was gushing out of it!
It seems that the situation is not very critical.
York and I were outside to help pass the fire extinguisher in, and soon, with the combined efforts of everyone, the fire in the kitchen was extinguished.
First mate Tony had just arrived, and when he saw that I was also helping, he immediately shook my hand and said a lot.
"He said, "You're very enthusiastic. He's going to take you to the captain! York translated immediately.
"Okay......" I nodded.
"The captain has just commanded the fire extinguishing in the control room, and now he is ready to go to the restaurant for breakfast, so let's go directly to the restaurant!" York continued.
"There's a fire in the kitchen, do you still have breakfast?" I asked with a smile.
"Yes, we have two kitchens...... There are also three restaurants, large, medium and small...... The choice is yours! York explained in stilted Chinese.
"Oh! What's the captain like? I asked as I walked.
"Captain Hazen...... He is a big fat man, and he eats almost all the rest of the time except for directing us people every day, but he has been to many, many countries in the world and eaten many, many delicacies! In your current buzzword...... It's just a ......," York replied aloud.
"A high-quality foodie!" I laughed.
"Yes, yes...... Foodie! Haha......" York turned his head and laughed.
However, he has a somewhat eccentric personality and is respectful to the people he likes...... I wish I could give him all the best things on board, and last time there was a Spanish traveler who was very close to him and enjoyed such treatment! If he doesn't like you, it's a big problem......" York continued.
"What's the trouble?" I asked curiously.
"He will ignore you, don't even bother to look at you, and simply treat you as a transparent person!" York replied.
"I'm not afraid, I thought it would happen." I smiled.
"When you are a person and are treated as transparent by others, what is that feeling...... I can't stand it! I love that everyone notices me, and even though I'm in charge of logistics, I'll be happy if the guests are nice to me! York exclaimed.
With that, we came to the dining room on the first deck.
As soon as I entered, I smelled a strong fragrance - it seemed that I was hungry.
This is estimated to be a small restaurant, usually used for breakfast, there are only three large round tables, about 30 people can sit. In front of the round table, there is a row of buffet tables with a variety of French breakfasts.
The French really know how to enjoy, and they are so particular about eating breakfast, look at that table, there are at least a dozen varieties...... It seems that the happiness index of the employees on these ships is also quite high.
I took a look, and except for the five or six crew members who had just gone to fight the fire, the rest of the people were basically sitting in front of the round platform and eating breakfast.
"Hi guys!" York immediately introduced me to everyone in French.
I saw a big fat man sitting in the middle, with a fat head and big ears, and a long beard, which should be Captain Haysen, and two women, one in his forties, dressed very maturely, and the other should be a young man in his twenties, with a golden braid. The rest of the crew, all dressed in their uniforms, nodded their heads when they saw me, and their attitudes were very enthusiastic - everyone would find it strange to suddenly see a fresh face during such a long and boring ocean journey.
York took me to Captain Haysen and introduced him to him.
The big fat captain squinted at me with a strange expression...... I smiled at him and nodded......
He didn't seem to appreciate it...... I got worried.
After a few seconds, he suddenly grinned and stood up to hug me!
Oh my God, this fat guy likes me...... Luckily, it may have been that my desperate rush down to help put out the fire just now made him have a preconceived impression of me.
I hugged him.
The big fat man was very kind to take me to the breakfast counters and introduce me to the delicacies...... York hurried over to translate.
First mate Tony had already taken care of the galley, and he walked in, and was very happy to see this, and immediately introduced me to Captain Big Fat......
A breakfast was completed in such a pleasant and gracious atmosphere, and I was a little flattered by the enthusiasm of the big fat captain. After eating, he also extended an invitation to me to visit their wheelhouse and other functional equipment rooms on board.
I hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Captain Hayson and First Officer Tony went down to work, and the rest of the people immediately got to work. The waiter, York and I, sat on the edge of the round table – I was waiting for that steaming cup of Blue Mountain coffee.
"You're so lucky! Mr. Money. York said with a laugh.
"Thanks to you." I smiled.
"The captain likes you so much, I guess the next trip will be something you will never forget!" York continued.
"Great...... Are the others French? I asked.
"You know, the biggest officer on the ship is the captain, and below the captain there are the first officer, the second officer, the third officer and the ordinary crew, as well as the chief engineer and the chief engineer, the second engineer, the third engineer, and then the mechanical engineer, the electronic engineer, etc...... On our ship, plus you are 26 people, in addition to the captain and the first mate, the second mate, and the two women...... The rest of the staff are Romanian, oh, and of course I'm French, hee-hee! York nodded and said aloud.
"Why so many Romanians?" I'm a little curious.
"The reason is very simple, because Romania is an Eastern European country with a relatively low income level, and they are very willing to do this job that is uprooted but has a decent income, and the captains and engineers in the higher positions are French...... Well, I'm an exception...... My story will be told to you slowly these days! York said with a laugh.
"What about the two women?" I then asked.
"They...... The older one is a mechanical engineer, and the other young beauty is an electronic engineer, can't you think of it? York laughed.
