Nomenclature of Night Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Going to sea!

"Congratulations to the Arctic for finding another new crew member! Cheers!"

In the dim light of the Walnut Bar, a captain picked up the whiskey in his hand, but there was always an indescribable joke in his tone.

The sailors laughed: "Old John is getting older, and the rest of the Arctic are all new crew members. Maybe he can't even throw the hooks well."

Zhang Jian looked at the sailors and whispered to Qing Chen, “Let's talk about it in another place, just to talk about salary and what you have to do...”

"Okay," Qing Chen 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 members, why don't you join us? Absolutely better than you Earn a lot on the Arctic."

The sailors were taken aback.

The Alps was the crab catcher last year. The selection of crew is very strict, and new crews are generally not used.

On the deck, all sailors take the risk together to meet the waves that may be as high as nine meters or even higher.

Everyone hopes that when facing danger, they are surrounded by an experienced veteran, which will increase their chances of survival.

You know, this is one of the most dangerous professions in the world.

In order to suppress Zhang Jian, Craig got the quota in his hand and chose to dig the corner of the opponent. This is actually not a wise move, because the Alps is already full and Qingchen is still a novice.

But Craig didn't say much. He looked at Qingchen and said, “You only need to be able to cook, and the Alps can reserve a place for you.”

Everyone understood that Craig was going to spend money to make Zhang Jian unable to get all the crew members, and could not go to sea at all.

If Zhang Jian sells the quota, Craig will make a profit even if he raises one more person.

It's just that Qing Chen smiled and said, "No, I like adventurous things."

Seeing that Qing Chen 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: "You don't need to worry about this."

Qing Chen said with a smile, "I have a lot of strength."

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the Walnut Bar.

Zhang Jian hurried to keep up.

In the cold wind, Zhang Jian asked a little excitedly: "How old are you this year?"

Qingchen smiled and said, "17 years old."

Zhang Jian was taken aback for a moment: "So small?"

The physical strength of adult males is probably not fully developed until around 24 years old. The age of 17 is not a problem of age, but energy and physical strength may not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the crab boat.

But... Zhang Jian couldn't be faulty anymore. He confessed: "We will add you on the boat with a total of five crew members, I, Old John, Nidpp, George, you. On board, you listen to Old John's instructions, he I will take you well... I hope you can resist it."

Qing Chen turned off the topic and asked curiously: "Are you Chinese? Can you speak Chinese?"

"Able to speak, but not fluent," Zhang Jian continued to respond in English: "My grandfather came to Europe to settle in the 1940s. He has always been engaged in the fishing industry. It was only in my father's generation that he had himself. For the fishing boat, I worked hard to get a license to catch king crabs, but it might be lost in my hands."

"Don't worry," Qing Chen smiled, "I try not to hold everyone back."

Zhang Jian asked: "By the way, which ships have you worked on before, cruise ships?"

Generally only cruise ships will recruit sailors like Qingchen as waiters, but in fact, such waiters are not strictly considered sailors.

Qing Chen explained earnestly: “Actually, the next trip to catch crabs is my first time out to sea.”

On the dark street outside the port, Zhang Jian opened his mouth and looked at Qing Chen: "What? The first time I went to sea?! You didn't joke with me, do you know how big the storm is on the Barents Sea, 50 knots? When the hurricane hits, I have seen wind and waves of several stories high! Maybe you don't even know if you will get seasick. If you get seasick, no one on the boat really has time to take care of you."

Qingchen thought for a while: "Don't worry, I won't get seasick."

At a certain moment, Zhang Jian suddenly felt that when he talked about the heavy wind and waves in the Barents Sea, the new crew member's eyes brightened as if he was looking forward to it.

is like saying: Really, that's great!

Zhang Jian said earnestly: "Qing Chen, I do not dislike your lack of experience as a sailor, but I am responsible for your life. To be honest, I really want to take you on board to make up the number, but you will die at sea. You are not at all. Know what we are going to face!"

"So what?" Qing Chen asked.

"So I can't take you out to sea, go back," Zhang Jian said, "This is not for you."

"If I only need a basic salary, don't split it," Qing Chen asked with a smile: "Although I have never been to sea, I have strong learning ability and I am willing to work. You should know how hard-working Chinese compatriots are."

Zhang Jian is tempted...

The basic salary of crew is very low, at least it can't compare with the split.

When going to sea, the biggest costs are ships, oil, and people. If Qingchen only needs a basic salary, then he is no different from picking up free labor.

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 have enough crew. I'm afraid that there are not enough four people on the deck as standard."

On the deck, someone needs to operate the crane, two people pull up the crab cage, and someone sorts the king crabs and puts them into the warehouse.

If all four of you don't get together, then you really don't have to go to sea.

Zhang Jian is silent, he may not find the other crew members, there is a Qingchen here, he should not give up.

After all, with Qingchen, their staff is very tight, and they don't even have a class break.

However, Zhang Jian said seriously: “No, although I am very excited, I still can't take you to sea adventures. You don't know what to face, but I know that long-term exhaustion will make you die at sea.”

Qingchen thought for a while: "What if I can call another crew member, and both of us only get a basic salary?"

Zhang Jian was stunned for a moment: "This way...it seems possible."

The next second, Qing Chen took out the phone and dialed out: "Come on, let's get on the boat together."

Zhang Jian stood there for a while, and after ten minutes only saw a girl wearing a thin sweater and a hood, walking over with a small bag on her back.

Qingchen said with a smile: "Introduce me, this is my friend Yangyang, and she is willing to go fishing for king crabs with him."

In fact, this time when Qing Chen decided to come overseas to complete the third life and death pass, he wanted to make Yangyang his guardian.

The danger of the knight's challenge not only comes from nature, but also from people's hearts.

Qingchen knew that he was being watched. At this time, it shouldn't be too much for him to find a protector.

It should be known that his uncle Chen Jiazhang was deliberately sabotaged while doing a certain challenge, which caused Chen Jiazhang to be forced to reverse his breath during the inverse breathing technique, cutting off his way to promotion to a demigod.

Yangyang arrived at Schiphol Airport a day earlier, and even the black plastic bags in the toilet that helped Qing Chen escape in disguise were hidden there in advance.

Before departure, Qing Chen also specially reminded her that she must take a plane, and that she must not walk by herself if she can take the transportation, otherwise it will delay a lot of things.

Fortunately, Yangyang did.

It's just that Zhang Jian's people are stunned. Can such a thin girl really be a crew member?

A high school dropout, Qing Chen, a thin girl, has his Arctic reduced to this point?

Zhang Jian asked, "Could you two be international students here to experience life, and you don't have work visas either."

Yangyang smiled and said: "Is this important? If we only take the basic salary, it would be good for the tourists on the crab boat at that time."

"But, you two..."

Yangyang said seriously: "I have a runner-up in the sailing competition. I crossed the Indian Ocean alone by sailing. It is better than the Qingchen next to me. I know what I will encounter when I go to the Barents Sea, so don't worry."

Qing Chen turned his head to look at the girl in surprise, why did he start to step on it.

It's just that the girl seemed to be in a very good mood. After a long journey, she just wanted to take a trip. After receiving the call from Qingchen, she agreed.

Zhang Jian silently looked at the pair of young men and women in front of him, only feeling that this year's crab fishing season was full of absurdity.

He thought about it for a long time, and finally said: “Well, the first trip to sea will take about 7 days. If the two of you can't stand the suffering on the boat, you can leave when you return to Hong Kong for the first time.”

Under normal circumstances, the crab season lasts for 15 days, and the longest will not exceed one month.

The crab boat will go to sea several times, usually when the cargo warehouse is full and when it will return.

The quota for the Arctic is 300,000 pounds, and the cargo capacity of the Arctic is 150,000 pounds, so it will return to the port to unload the cargo once, replenish fuel and fresh water, and then go out to sea again.

However, the Arctic harvested very little last year. It only caught 70,000 pounds of king crabs in two trips, which was just enough for one gas.

This year Zhang Jian spent another 400,000 euros to repair the ship. After his father passed away, he still had to pay a large amount of inheritance tax. He even rented 180 crab cages for 15 days and must be returned when they expire.

So Zhang Jian has no retreat.

He must bet this time.

This is also the reason why other captains squeezed him and wanted to grab his quota.

Qingchen looked at Zhang Jian: "By the way, what about the other crew members?"

In the next two days waiting to open the sea, I don't know where the news came from, saying that the Arctic has found a high school dropout and a female crew member for this time.

For a time, the sailors in the port were all laughing. Who would use female crew members to catch king crabs?

The work intensity of crab boats is too high and too cruel. Few women can resist this kind of work.

In the Bar, many people began to bet on how many king crabs the Arctic could harvest this year.

Some people say it's the same as last year, 70,000 pounds.

Some people also say that it may be less than 50,000 pounds.

Everyone thinks that Zhang Jian might not even be able to get the oil money this year, and he can't pay the rent for crab cages.

Dare to pull a couple of 17-year-old boys and girls as crew members, which also shows that Zhang Jian is indeed desperate.

It seems that at the end of this crab hunting season, Zhang Jian can only file for personal bankruptcy.

From beginning to end, no one thought Qing Chen and Yangyang could help on the boat.

Just the day before the sea was about to open, a Turkish Airlines Boeing plane landed at Schiphol Airport.

He Jinqiu in first class stood up and stretched.

The flight attendant said enthusiastically: “Hello, Mr. He, please take the shuttle bus prepared for first-class passengers at the airport to leave.”

He walked out this fall, stopped after two steps, smiled and said to the flight attendant: "By the way, I have a friend in economy class. He took the shuttle bus with me."

While speaking, Zheng Yuandong, who was behind the cabin, walked out wearing a Zhongshan suit, with gloves on his hands, covering the mechanical limbs tightly.

As the leader of Kunlun, he naturally does not have to worry about going abroad for security checks.

Amsterdam has not issued any special rules for time travellers to enter and exit. Everyone is free to come and go. Even He Jinqiu, a Kyushu leader who loves to do things overseas, is not restricted from entering...

This is one of the few European countries that has not restricted entry to He this fall...

He Jinqiu stepped 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 if you intervene in overseas affairs. Kunlun can be merged, it doesn't matter how you want to intervene."

Zheng Yuandong gave He Jinqiu a cold look: "Unlucky."

He was not angry this autumn, he continued smilingly and said: "The old squad leader also came for Qingchen. You should have heard that people from Shindai Kashima suddenly entered Amsterdam, the Netherlands, so he knew he was in danger. However, We should be unlucky for them to come here together. Let's teach the "future" of North America and Kamdai Kashima a lesson this time, so that they know what it means to promote our country."

Zheng Yuandong glanced at He Jinqiu and said, “I'm not very interested in things that provoke disputes, but there is only one person to kill.”

He Jinqiu smiled and said, "It's the one who is good at creating illusions. I found him? So, he has done things in China. Boss Zheng will kill him even if he is chased abroad. This sounds very good. Don't worry. If we join forces, he will die. Your surname is Zheng and my surname is He. Together, we will be called Zheng He. When Zheng He went to the West, he took those..."

Zheng Yuandong took a look at He Jinqiu: "Can you be a little bit cultural? Zheng He went to the West in the Indian Ocean, and he has never been here."

He Jinqiu smiled and said: "I'm talking about the Atlantic Ocean, there is nothing wrong with it."

Zheng Yuandong looked at He Jinqiu: "Where is Qingchen now?"

"do not know."

"do not know?!"

He got on the shuttle bus this autumn and was a little unhappy: "I have three offices in Kyushu in Europe, and there are so many people in Europe. How can I look at him? Don't say I can't find him, neither can Kamiro and Kashima. Here. Don't you know, many people are looking for him these days, but he hasn't stayed in any hotel, nor has he ever made any credit for spending.”

"Everyone has looked for all the public places he might go. Some people are staring at the scenic spot, and some people are staring at famous restaurants, but this kid is just like the world has evaporated."

Finding someone is sometimes easy, but it's also difficult.

Under normal circumstances, everyone first looks for traces, such as where UnionPay cards are consumed, such as where the other party may go.

But at this point, Qing Chen didn't go anywhere that everyone had guessed.

I can't help but wonder, why on earth is this stuff here? !

They couldn't think of it, Qing Chen came here in the first-class cabin for 27,000 yuan, actually for work!

Still on the most dangerous crab boat in the world!

Who is going to work for a serious time traveler? !

He Jinqiu said: "Nowadays, we can only wait for him to appear. If he does not appear, no one will take action."

At this time, Qing Chen, who the whole world was looking for, had just arrived at the port where the Arctic was docked. He looked up at the new paint on the Arctic, and felt that the blue and white ship was pretty good-looking.

The hull of the Arctic is white, and the lower part is dark blue. It looks like she wants to wear a navy uniform.

It's just that when Qing Chen boarded the ship, he found that the handrails of the hull were a bit bad.

Only when you look at the details on the Arctic can you realize that this is actually a lingering crab boat.

Zhang Jian looked complicated when he saw the two of them: "Are you really going to sea?"

Qingchen smiled and said: "We are not people who like to make jokes, right, what about the other crew members?"

Zhang Jian's expression became even more ugly: "Needup **** crab cages on the boat. Old John fell asleep after drinking in the cabin. George... can't make a temporary call. I heard that he is in Craig right now. On the Alpine."

"Huh? Can I not come temporarily? Today is going to open the sea to catch crabs. What if there are suddenly fewer people?" Qing Chen asked.

Actually, what Qing Chen is more worried about is how can he go to the Barents Sea if the ship cannot go to sea smoothly?

At a certain moment, the teenager even wanted to call the boss He Jinqiu He directly to shake people. He knew that there must be a master here in Kyushu. When he fought Jindai and Kashima in Los Angeles before, he could be regarded as helpful. Now he is pulling You can't make up too much, right?

It's just that if Boss He is brought in directly, the Arctic will not be like a crab hunting, but like a whaling or killing...

Zhang Jian hesitated again and again, and finally called Craig of the Alps: "I want to sell the quota."

But Craig laughed arrogantly: "If you want to sell now, I will receive a 50% discount..."

Before he could continue to say anything, Zhang Jian hung up the phone with a cold face.

Zhang Jian looked at Qingchen and said: "Now there is nothing we can do. Even if George does not come, we will have to go to sea to try. Of course, if you feel that there is a shortage of people, it is too late to withdraw now...Of course if you are willing to stay. If so, I am willing to destroy the previous contract and give you some share!"

"It's okay," Qing Chen said with a smile: "There is an old saying in China, if you come, you will be safe, let's go!"

As long as it can reach the Barents Sea smoothly, Qing Chen doesn't care how many king crabs can be caught.

Qingchen carried a long strip of backpack on the deck. He saw a string of silver crosses hanging on the bow and asked, "What is that?"

Zhang Jian explained: "A mascot, every captain will prepare a lot of mascots to bless us all on the Barents Sea...what is in your bag behind your back?"

Qingchen grinned and said, "Is this? This is my mascot."

Zhang Jian: "..."

Sailors' mascots are all odd and weird. Some bring necklaces from their family members, and some bring a doll, but Qingchen's mascot is clearly the biggest among all sailors.

This bag is obviously a surfboard, brother!

Zhang Jian feels very strange, this boy probably wants to go surfing in the Barents Sea! ?

After getting on the ship, Old John walked out of the cabin slowly and said to Zhang Jian: "This time I went to sea because your father saved my life. Remember, don't look for me next year, even serious. Even the crew can't be found, so why are they still persistently trying to conquer the Barents Sea? It belongs to the strong."

Zhang Jian was a little embarrassed, he walked into the driver's cab without saying anything, and slowly drove the Arctic away from the port.

Just before leaving the port, the Alps quickly passed by the North Pole. The seven sailors smiled and put their arms on the deck guardrail, laughed at the North Pole, and pointed to Qing Chen and Yangyang.

Qingchen stood on the deck and looked at Yangyang: "It's too miserable."

Yangyang smiled and said, "It's really miserable."

At this time, Yangyang's cell phone rang, and she answered the phone: “Hey, I can't go back now, I'm abroad.”

There was a loud voice on the opposite side of the phone, saying strangely: "Wait, when did you run over, why didn't you tell my girlfriend?"

"I'm in Amsterdam, I'll talk about it when I go back," Yangyang said.

"What are you going to do in Amsterdam?" Yangyang's girlfriend asked.

Yangyang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Honeymoon."

Yangyang's best friend: "???"

Qingchen: "???"

Sure enough, Yangyang is still the one that can drive easily...

The Arctic sails into the sea. They will go through a 20-hour journey and finally reach the crab-catching area in the Barents Sea.

On the road, Old John has never left the cigarette in his hands. Nicotine is the most needed thing for the high-intensity crew.

It is said that many crew members died of lung cancer instead of shipwreck.

After the boat started, Old John never drank a drop of wine. He looked at Qing Chen, Yang Yang, and the young Nidepu soberly at this time: "According to the old rules, you must bite the cod head after sailing. Qing, come here. bite."

Cod is the bait to catch crabs. Those dead fish are so foul and life is difficult to smell.

Crab catchers will cut them apart and put them in a crab cage to sink to the bottom of the sea, and then wait for the king crabs to get into the cage by themselves.

Qing Chen curiously asked, "Why bite the cod head?"

"This is the tradition of crab catchers," Old John said slowly: "Only by biting the cod head while sailing, can we have a good harvest. This is what the king crab eats, and we bite the cod head to represent the integration of this big Naturally, remind the crew to be in awe."

"That's it," Qing Chen didn't hesitate, grabbing a cod and biting it.

For an instant, the stench filled his mouth.

It's just that Old John was a little surprised that this Asian boy didn't even frown.

Actually, the tradition of crab catchers is that the sailors draw lots to decide who will bite. Old John just wanted to make things difficult for the young man, but he didn't expect that the other party would not care about it.

He didn't notice a problem until then. The crab boat was bumping on the waves, but the Asian teenager and Asian girl stood on the boat, as if their feet were nailed to the deck, without ever shaking.

Old John murmured, maybe he drank fake wine.

6,000 words chapter, 13,000 words have been changed today, make up some owed, and the rest will be paid tomorrow.

Thanks to ipo classmates for being the silver league of this book, and the boss is magnificent.

Thanks to a good son, loves his big cute Sisi, WayneW, and thanks to Jue Lian mortal, protector of the earth Gaia, Duan Duan Chenfeng, Qiu Wu for becoming the new alliance of this book.
