Chapter 14 Watching the Ship

After leaving the weapon shop, it's almost time to have lunch.

I originally wanted to hit others, but I didn't expect that it would hit me in the end. Jiayi was in a bad mood. Only a meal of delicious food could restore his mood.

Jiayi was looking for a place to eat delicious food, but Lubeca was not in that good mood anymore.

Lubeca first thought that Jiayi wanted to seize his dwarf "technology" and was ready to fight to the death. But later Jiayi changed his attitude and showed dispensability. He felt that it was necessary to hide this dwarf technology in his life or death.

After all, he has not been able to learn it for many years. To be precise, no one has learned this technology since his grandfather. He is still hiding it. After his descendants learn it, this technology is afraid that it will not be outdated.

If you can exchange some good things from the mage, it may not be a loss. After all, this technology is not unique. The mage is said to be very mysterious and powerful. Maybe you can find a dwarf. This technology will not be rare for him at that time.

"You said, should I sell it to that mage?" Lubeca was unsure of his own and asked the guy on the side.

"Master, how could I know this? I don't seem to be able to learn anyway. My body is not as good as you. At least, that mage looks quite easy-going." The guy turned out to be Lubeca's apprentice, not an ordinary clerk.

Lubeca disdained his comments: "Tsk, the mages are moody, and looking easy-going does not mean they are really easy-going. If he gets angry, he will demolish our store, and the city lord will not do anything to him."

"So amazing." His tone was full of envy.

Here, Jiayi came to a small tavern. The pub was not large in size and the decoration was average, but the grilled lamb chops in the store were unique. The heat of the charcoal was just right, and the grilled grease in the lamb was roasted, making the lamb not that fat, but it didn't look like a fire. Moreover, the lamb was not an ordinary lamb, and it basically had no mutton smell, only the meaty smell was full of mouth.

Good mutton does not have much mutton smell. Some roasted mutton that Jia Yi had eaten in his previous life did not work. The mutton smell on it is not only heavy, but also looks very exaggerated. It is simply added with the essence. The most exaggerated thing is that even urine is full of mutton smell. Is this simply because the essence cannot be absorbed by the human body?

Since that time, Jiayi has rarely eaten mutton skewers outside.

After Jia Yi entered the store, he came to the counter: "Boss, come with a charcoal rib, three ribs, and then a vegetarian pigeon soup."

"It turned out to be Jiayi. I haven't seen you for a long time. Why is it here now? The lamb chops will be ready soon." After that, the boss went to the kitchen.

Jiayi has not been here several times, but it is familiar because the chili powder and cumin of roasted lamb are provided by Jiayi. It turned out that although his roasted lamb chops were good, the seasonings were too monotonous. After Jiayi tasted them, he felt sorry for his skills, so he provided him with cumin and chili powder, which allowed him to improve the process of roasted lamb chops.

So the boss here accepts his affection and treats him with the best every time he comes, although in his words, there is nothing wrong here.

Soon, Jiayi's grilled lamb chops were served. The outside was a little burnt, but the inside was indeed very tender and juicy, and it didn't look greasy when I was late. Since Jiayi became a formal mage, he has focused on the two series of spells of water and fire. He has been able to control the temperature easily, but in terms of barbecue, the heat is still not as good as the boss here.

Jiayi always feels that this is not just a matter of craftsmanship. The boss must have a special way to barbecue, but after visiting the kitchen, Jiayi did not find any special places. In this way, he could only admit that some people are very special.

After lunch, Jiayi felt much better. After a walk around, he went back to the hotel.

In the evening, the manager of the Chamber of Commerce came over and said that the ship had been found.

"So quickly? When will I set off? I have to wait two days." Jiayi said in surprise when he didn't expect that the efficiency of the manager was so high.

"Don't worry, it will take five days to drive the boat. Is this time enough? If not, we can let him set off two days later."

"Whose ship is this? Are we from the Chamber of Commerce? Can we still accommodate me?" Jia Yi was a little surprised. You should know that it takes a lot of money to set off a cargo ship every night. At this time, there is no special passenger ship, unless you charter a boat to travel by yourself.

"The chamber of commerce on this ship has a cooperative relationship with us. Of course, you must please me, the boss." The manager said with a smile, "If you have time, go and see if the boat is in line tomorrow to see if it suits you. But this ship is almost the best ship with the nearest conditions."

Jia rolled his eyes, which meant that there was no choice, so what else to look at.

However, Jiayi did not refuse, and it would be better to be familiar with the environment.

The next morning, Jiayi and the manager came to the dock and saw the boat they were about to take.

This is a very large three-masted sailboat, which is nearly 30 meters long and 6 or 7 meters wide. Thanks to the large enough river, otherwise such a large ship would not be able to drive. However, it is probably because of the inland river that there are paddle wheels on both sides of the ship, so that the ship can drive against the wind.

Then the manager introduced the captain to Jiayi. The captain was responsible for the ship. However, the captain's rights in the inland river were much smaller than those in the ocean. The captain was the largest on the ocean, but the captain of the inland river was not so glorious. After all, even if the boat captain captain captains, he would have a great chance to swim back to the shore.

"This ship is quite big." Jiayi sighed. The sand transport ships he used to carry on the Yangtze River in his previous life were only of this size.

However, this is also his short-term knowledge. A ten-ton cargo ship is more than 100 meters long, the Liaoning is more than 300 meters long, the side width is 75 meters, and the water line is 38 meters wide, which means that the cargo ship can be placed horizontally on the Liaoning. This ship was only built in the 1980s and is itself behind other aircraft carriers.

I can only say that although Jiayi's knowledge is outstanding compared to the natives in this world, he was just a silk thread before he traveled through time.

But Jiayi's words made the captain very happy: "This is the largest ship type nearby, with a stable driving capacity and a large load. It can be reproduced with a cargo of more than 500,000 pounds, and it is no problem even if it is near the sea. And if you use paddle wheels, you can drive even against the wind and water."

Jia Yi thoughtfully. Based on the pound of 400 grams per pound in this world, it is almost 200 tons of load capacity. If you change the unit, the B grid will drop in an instant. But this should be not a small amount. Jia Yi has no specific concept for this.

“Can we go in and take a look?”

"sure."

The captain brought Jiayi and the unnamed chamber of commerce into the cabin. The ship was clean and there was no odor. After all, it was an inland river and there was not so much fishy smell. Moreover, the wooden boat needs to be maintained properly. If it is moldy, it will be damaged quickly, so the environment of the boat is not as bad as imagined.

"This is your room. The conditions on the boat are limited, which is the best. The bedding inside is newly replaced and clean." The captain took Kaichi to a room at the back of the boat. "If you are not used to being too bumpy, you can choose the room under the boat, but it will be a little wet."

The whole room is only 7 or 8 square meters in size. After putting down a bed, there is basically no big place.

Seeing that Jiayi was wearing a large number of rooms, the manager also said: "This is almost the best. It is better to have a special passenger ship from the nobles or the Chamber of Commerce, but there has not been such a ship recently, otherwise it is okay to take a simple boat."

"Then let it be. This place is pretty good. I don't live inside. How long will it take to get to the imperial capital?"

"It takes more than a month, and we load a lot of goods. Although the water flows at this time, the wind is also small, and the boat does not move quickly." The captain said.
