402, go to sea!(1/2)
"Congratulations to the Arctic for finding another new crew member! Cheers!"
In the dim lights of the walnut bar, a captain jokingly picked up the whiskey in his hand.
The sailors laughed: "Old John is old, and the rest of the Arctic are new crew members. It's not that even the hook claws are not thrown."
Zhang Jian looked at the sailors and whispered to Qingchen: "Let's talk about it in another place, we can talk about salary and what you want to do."
"Okay," Qingchen nodded with a smile.
However, when the two were about to leave, a captain named Craig stood up and said, "Wait, this...qing, my Alps also needs crew, why don't you join us? It's definitely more than you earn on the Arctic."
The sailors were stunned for a moment.
The Alps was the crab chasing champion last year, and the selection of crew members was very strict and they generally did not use new crew members.
In order to suppress Zhang Jian, Craig actually chose to dig out the other party's corner to get the quota in his hand.
He looked at Qingchen and said, "You only need to know how to cook, and the Alps can leave you a place."
Zhang Jian's heart was tightened and he looked at Qingchen with his eyes wide open!
Just Qingchen smiled: "No, I prefer risky things."
Seeing that Qingchen had decided, Craig stopped talking. He turned to Zhang Jian and said, "Are you sure you want to use this young man? Do you see if he has the strength to pull the crab cage on the deck?"
Zhang Jian hesitated for a moment: "You don't need to worry about this."
Qingchen said with a smile: "I am very strong."
After saying that, he turned around and left the Walnut Bar.
Zhang Jian hurriedly followed.
In the cold wind, Zhang Jian asked with a little excitement: "How old are you this year?"
Qingchen smiled and said, "17 years old."
Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment: "So young?"
However... Zhang Jian couldn't be picky either. He explained: "We will add you a total of five crew members on the ship. I, Old John, Niedep, George, you. When you arrive on the ship, listen carefully to Old John's instructions, and he will take you well... I hope you can resist it."
Qing Chen changed the topic and asked curiously: "Are you Chinese? Can you speak Chinese?"
"I can speak, but I'm not fluent," Zhang Jian continued to respond in English: "My grandfather came to Europe in the 1940s and has always been engaged in the fishing industry. It was not until my father's generation that he had his own fishing boat. He worked hard to get a license to catch king crabs, but he might have to throw it away in my hands."
"Don't worry," Qingchen smiled: "I try not to hold everyone back."
Zhang Jian asked, "By the way, what ships have you worked on before, and have you ever worked on a cruise ship?"
Qingchen explained seriously: "Actually, the next crab catching trip was my first trip to sea."
Zhang Jian was on the street outside the dim harbor and looked at Qingchen with his mouth wide open: "What? The first time I went to sea?! You didn't joke with me, do you know how big the wind and waves on the Barents Sea are? When the 50-kilometer hurricane hit, I have seen the wind and waves that are several floors high! Maybe you don't even know whether you will be seasick. If you are seasick, no one on the boat will have time to take care of you."
Qingchen thought for a while: "Don't worry, I won't be seasick."
At one moment, Zhang Jian suddenly felt that when he talked about the strong wind and waves in the Barents Sea, the new crew member's eyes lit up, as if he was looking forward to it.
It's like saying: Really, that's great!
Zhang Jian said seriously: "Qingchen, I don't dislike you for not having the experience of a sailor, but I am responsible for your life. To be honest, I really want to pull you on the boat to make up for the numbers, but you will die at sea. You have no idea what we are going to face!"
"So what?" Qingchen asked.
"So I can't take you out to sea, you can go back," said Zhang Jian: "This place is not suitable for you."
"If I only have a basic salary, don't share the money," Qingchen asked with a smile: "Although I haven't been out of the sea, I have a strong learning ability and are willing to work. You should know how hardworking Chinese compatriots are."
Zhang Jian was moved...
The basic salary of the crew is very low, at least it cannot be compared with the share, and it is no different from picking up a free labor force.
Qingchen said again: "If I get on the boat, I can still work. If you don't let me get on the boat, you won't be able to get enough crew members. I'm afraid that even the four people on the deck are not enough."
On the deck, someone had to operate the crane, two people pulled up the crab cage, and some people sorted the king crabs and put them into the warehouse.
If all four of them can't get together, there's really no need to go out to sea.
However, Zhang Jian said seriously: "No, although I am very moved, I still can't take you out to sea to take risks. You don't know what to face, but I know that long-term exhausted work will make you die at sea."
Qingchen thought for a while: "What if I could call another crew member and we both only get the basic salary?"
Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment: "This... seems to be OK."
The next second, Qingchen took out the phone and called out: "Come on, come on, let's get on the boat together."
Zhang Jian stood there and was stunned for a while. After more than ten minutes, he saw a girl wearing a thin sweatshirt and a hooded girl walking over with a small bag on her back.
Qingchen said with a smile: "Let me introduce it, this is my friend Yangyang, and she is willing to go fishing for king crabs with her."
In fact, when Qingchen decided to come overseas to complete the third life and death barrier this time, he wanted to let Yangyang be his Taoist protector.
Yangyang arrived at Schiphol Airport a day early, and even the black plastic bags in the toilet that helped Qingchen disguise themselves and escaped were hidden there in advance.
Before leaving, Qingchen also specifically reminded her to take a plane. If you can take a transportation, don’t walk by yourself, otherwise it will delay a lot of things.
Fortunately, the saplings did the same.
However, Zhang Jian was confused. Can such a thin girl really be a crew member?
A high school dropout, Qingchen, a thin girl, has his Arctic already fallen to this level?
Zhang Jian asked, "You two are not international students who come to experience life, you don't have a work visa either."
Yangyang smiled and said, "Is this important? If we only get the basic salary, just treat it as tourists on the crab boat."
"But, you two..."
Yangyang said seriously: "I have the runner-up of the sailing competition. I once drove a boat across the Indian Ocean alone. It is better than Qingchen next to me. I know what I will encounter when I go to the Barents Sea, so don't worry."
Qingchen turned around in surprise and looked at the girl, why did he start to stomp?
However, the girl seemed to be in a very good mood. After a long time travel, she happened to want to take a trip. After receiving Qingchen's call, she agreed immediately.
Zhang Jian silently looked at the young man and woman in front of him, and only felt that this year's crabbing season was full of absurdity.
He thought for a long time and finally said, "Okay, the first trip to sea will take about 7 days. If you two can't stand the pain on the boat, you can leave when you return to the port for the first time."
Generally, the crabbing season lasts 15 days, and the maximum length is not more than one month.
Crab boats will go out several times, usually when will the warehouse be filled and when will they return.
The quota for the Arctic is 300,000 pounds, while the Arctic cargo warehouse cargo capacity is 150,000 pounds, so first go back to the port to unload the cargo, replenish fuel and fresh water, and then go to sea again.
Qingchen looked at Zhang Jian: "By the way, where are the other crew members?"
During the next two days of waiting for the opening of the sea, there was no idea where the news came from, saying that the Arctic had found a high school dropout this time and a female crew member.
For a moment, the sailors at the port were all laughing. Who would use female crew members to catch king crabs?
Everyone believes that Zhang Jian may not be able to get back the money for gas this year, and the rent for the crab cage cannot be paid.
From beginning to end, no one thought that Qingchen and Yangyang could do anything on the boat.
...
...
Just the day before the opening of the sea, a Turkish Airlines Boeing plane landed at Schiphol Airport.
He Jinqiu, who was in the first class, stood up and stretched.
The flight attendant said enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. He, please take the shuttle bus prepared by the airport for first-class passengers."
He Jinqiu walked out, took two steps and stopped, and said to the flight attendant with a smile: "By the way, I have a friend in economy class, and he took a shuttle bus with me."
While he was talking, Zheng Yuandong, who was behind the cabin, walked out in a Zhongshan suit. He was wearing gloves on his hand and covered his mechanical limbs tightly.
As the leader of Kunlun, he naturally doesn't have to worry about going abroad for security checks.
Amsterdam has not issued any special rules for the entry and exit of Time Travelers. Everyone is free to come and go. Even He Jinqiu, the leader of Kyushu who loves to do things overseas, has not been restricted from entering the country...
He Jinqiu walked off the plane and said enthusiastically: "Old squad leader, I really didn't expect to meet you on this plane. Don't worry, I won't mind you interfering in overseas affairs. If Jiuzhou and Kunlun can merge, it doesn't matter how you want to intervene."
Zheng Yuandong looked at He Jinqiu coldly: "Is it really a chance encounter?"
He Jinqiu continued to smile and said, "The old squad leader is also here for Qingchen. You should have heard that there are people from Kashima Kashima who suddenly entered Amsterdam, the Netherlands, so he knew that he was in danger. However, we deserve to be unlucky when we come here together. This time, we will teach the "future" of North America and Kashima Kashima Kashima a lesson to let them know what it means to promote our country."
Zheng Yuandong glanced at He Jinqiu and said, "I am not very interested in provoking disputes, I just want to protect our citizens."
He Jinqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will surely die if we join forces. Your surname is Zheng, and my surname is He. Let's call Zheng He to the West. When Zheng He went to the West, he used those..."
"What is the homonym of the homonym," Zheng Yuandong glanced at He Jinqiu: "Can you have some culture? Zheng He went to the Western Ocean to the Indian Ocean, and he has never been here."
He Jinqiu smiled and said, "I'm talking about the Atlantic Ocean, there's nothing wrong with it."
Zheng Yuandong looked at He Jinqiu: "Where is Qingchen now?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?!"
He Jinqiu was a little unhappy when he got on the shuttle bus: "I only have three offices in Europe. There are so many people in Europe, so how can I see him? Don't say I can't find it, either Kamida or Kashima. You don't know that many people are looking for him these days, but he disappeared into the sea like a drop of water."
They never thought that Qingchen came here in the first class cabin worth 27,000 yuan to work!
