Chapter 606: Ashore, ashore (please vote)

Chen Nian doesn’t know why Xiamen in this period doesn’t seem to have anything special of its own.

But what he knew was that Xiamen in this period was not as prosperous as in later generations. Today's Xiamen should be called Xiamen Island, which falls under the jurisdiction of Tong'an County.

It was not until almost 20 years later that Siming County, which was drawn from Tong'an County, was called XM City. After several twists and turns, it finally became a municipality directly under the Central Government of FJ Province.

"However, if it is played in future generations, it should still be good. After all, although Chen Nian has never been there, he has heard of Gulangyu Island.

I just cooked and ate it like this, and drank some wine with Lucas. Now Lucas is completely able to accept rice wine, and even likes it a little.

"Chen, I don't know how you manage these things in your kitchen. If possible, I would like to bring more wine like this when I get off the ship." Lucas said.

Chen Nian smiled after hearing this: "If it's too much, I think it won't work, but if it's less, I don't think there's any problem."

"Then I'll go back and ask if I can buy some rice wine to take back."

"By the way, Lucas, do you want to go home and see him then?" Chen Nian suddenly asked, because he remembered that Lucas seemed to have never been back since he left many years ago.

Always traveling around the world.

"I think I will go back and take a look. After so many years, I also want to see how my family has developed. My father is probably old, and those children who couldn't even walk when I left should be now.

He has grown into a big boy." Lucas said and took another sip of wine.

Only then did Chen Nian realize that the other party was actually a middle-aged man in his forties.

After all, during this period of getting along, Lucas, Chen Nian and even Tonio were very harmonious. No matter whether they were chatting or joking, Lucas didn't feel like he was in his forties.

But time cannot be concealed.

Even if he has a young heart, there is no way that Lucas can really go back to his youth.

"It's time to go back and take a look. There is an idiom in our country called Fallen leaves return to their roots." Chen Nian said while also having a drink with the other party.

Lucas nodded: "I know this word, and I have been working hard to learn Chinese recently, but I feel that I am still very young. Rather than returning to my roots, I still want to travel around, especially after I have met

After you, I now have a very strong interest in Eastern countries."

"You can go take a look, but you must protect yourself when the time comes. After all, the current situation may be a bit unstable." Chen Nian warned again.

"Don't worry, I haven't seen any big storms. I'm not a weak artist. Do you believe that if you fight me now, I can knock you down within five seconds?" Lucas said as he spoke.

He stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and got into a boxing stance, hoping to compete with Chen Nian.

As a result, Chen Nian almost laughed out loud when he saw how the other party was swaying. Even though he was drunk like this, he still wanted to fight with him. This guy probably drank too much, and he still insisted on drinking because he was not good at drinking. He was a good person and fun-loving person.

.

"I believe that I can't beat you. You are so powerful. What have you not seen after all these years of traveling around? But I won't fight you. We all have to work tomorrow. What if you are missing an arm or a leg?

good?"

Chen Nian smiled and reassured.

"Don't worry, I will never be so harsh. Come on, let's have a fight!" Lucas said, not giving up his intention to challenge Chen Nian in a one-on-one fight.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm not very convenient today. Let's practice another day." Finally, he pulled Lucas to sit down.

However, by this time they had almost eaten and drank enough wine, which was quite old, but Lucas had a bit too much.

After quickly tidying up the kitchen, Chen Nian was still a little worried, so he sent Lucas back to the room himself.

The next morning, in order to prevent Lucas from oversleeping again, Chen Nian asked a waiter to call Lucas after ten o'clock.

In the next period of time, Chen Nian will have nothing to do here. Tomorrow he will just cook, read, and learn Italian.

Day by day, the Platinum Star is getting closer and closer to San Francisco, USA.

It can be seen that the mood of the colleagues around them has become different from before. After all, after this voyage is over, they can rest for another three months.

According to Chen Nian's understanding, most people don't actually have any special plans. In fact, many old employees have fixed places to live in the United States. After staying on this ship for a long time, they will naturally not be short of money, so they can spend some of it.

Buying a small house here is stress-free.

Every time I dock, I come back here to clean it up and stay there for three months before boarding the ship.

The same is true when it comes to Hong Kong.

It's just that the prices and housing prices here in Hong Kong are very expensive, so they basically choose to buy houses in cheaper places nearby.

Or stay directly in a hotel.

If you stay there regularly, hotels usually offer discounts, and you can even get discounts on meals.

All in all it's still very cost-effective.

Others will choose to rent a house with other people, so that they can save some money on rent.

On this morning, the ship's broadcast announced that the ship would be able to dock today.

Everyone was very happy after hearing this, and they learned the news in the morning, which meant that they no longer had to cook in the kitchen at noon.

After the ship docks and the guests disembark, the employees can pack their things and leave.

However, the engineering department and the service department also need to carry out general cleaning of other places on the ship except the rest rooms of other employees.

Just by being in the room, you can hear the cheers from above.

It seems that this hundred-day voyage has exhausted them.

"But it's quite nice to be able to dock."

Just when Chen Nian was thinking about his arrangements after landing, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Maddie.

"Mr. Chen Nian, I'd like to excuse you. This time, Mr. Huo asked me to ask you if you have a place to stay after we dock."

When Chen Nian heard this, he knew that it might be Mr. Huo who wanted to arrange a place for him. After all, it was a master-student relationship.

He had been thinking about whether to live in Chinatown. After all, he might be more familiar with the environment in the parallel world.

But when Mr. Huo asked, Chen Nian immediately fell into hesitation. Although it wouldn't cost much to stay in a hotel in Chinatown for three months, it was definitely inconvenient to cook in a hotel.

When you go to Mr. Huo's place, you don't have to worry about all kinds of tableware, and it's also very convenient to learn from the master yourself. Even if you want to practice some dishes, I guess the kitchen can meet all your needs, and you don't have to spend money.

Money is of no great use to Chen Nian. It is better to invest in knowledge. Just like when Chen Nian was in Hawaii, he spent a lot of money to learn to surf, and spent a lot of money to buy a bottle of Xiao Huang.

Collection level red wine.

Now Chen Nian still has tens of thousands of dollars on him.

At this period, the value of a household worth ten thousand yuan was still quite high, not to mention that the money in one's hand was still US dollars.

Rounding it off, and taking into account the purchasing power of the US dollar and the exchange rate during this period, Chen Nian is equivalent to being a millionaire.

Finally, Chen Nian agreed to the other party and planned to stay with Mr. Huo during this period.

Seeing that Chen Nian agreed, McGrady took out a small envelope from his body and handed it to Chen Nian before leaving.

Chen Nian touched the inside and found that there seemed to be a key inside.

After opening it, I found an ordinary-looking key inside, and besides the key there was a note with an address written on it. Needless to say, it must be Mr. Huo's address.

"It seems that Master and I will not go there together. Maybe I need to take a step first, or go after I finish my own business." Chen Nian thought.

When Jie Luo and Anna got off the boat, they said that they would come to play with him after they arrived in the United States. Chen Nian didn't know if what they said was true. After all, something like that just happened at home, and maybe by now

None have been completely resolved.

Chen Nian looked again at the gifts he bought for them during the few times he got off the boat along the way.

Although wireless telephones had been invented during this period, such things were not yet available today.

Therefore, Chen Nian could not contact the shore.

Just after the ship docked, Chen Nian watched from his window as the guests happily carried large and small bags towards the ship.

Their faces were filled with joyful smiles.

Just after they were almost gone, footsteps also appeared in the corridor outside Chennianmen.

But this time Chen Nian's door was pushed open directly. Chen Nian looked up and saw that it was Huang Su.

"Let's go, we have to go to the lobby now. Mr. Huo will tell us when we will come back to the ship, and he will also give us the wages and bonuses this time."

Chen Nian nodded when he heard this, stood up and followed Huang Su.

However, Chen Nianjian Huang Su did not wear chef clothes, so he wore casual clothes.

When they came to the hall, they saw Mr. Huo already waiting here, and beside him were Maddie and some staff members on the ship, but Chen Niang felt as if he had never seen those staff members before.

After a brief introduction, Chen Nian found out that those people were the treasurers on the ship.

"The next boarding is on the 15th in three months. You must remember to bring good clothes and some thicker bedding if necessary, because it may be very cold by then."

After some instructions, Mr. Huo started calling people's names, and then went to the front to collect their wages. Everyone's money was put in an envelope.

It's basically impossible to tell how much money is inside from the outside.

Only after everyone gets it can they feel the thickness of it. The wages paid this time include bonuses, so you can see that everyone has a satisfied smile on their face after getting the envelope.

Of course Chen Nian is no exception. Although money is of little use to him, the process of giving out money is still very satisfying.
