Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Not only Hu Xiangjun, but Zhou Bangqiu and others were also completely clueless about Western food.

So Xiaoshan gave them a simple explanation of what Western food is.

After listening to Xiao Shan's explanation, Zhou Bangqiu said with a look of relief, "Xiao Shan, we're counting on you for this trip!"

After Xiao Shan explained some other things they needed to pay attention to, Zhou Bangqiu and the others prepared to go back to rest.

Xiao Shan told them to wait in his room while he called Hu Xiangjun to the corridor outside.

Upon reaching the corridor, Hu Xiangjun looked at Xiao Shan with some confusion and asked, "Director Xiao, is there something you need?"

Xiao Shan called Hu Xiangjun out separately because he had just seen the enthusiastic Hyman flirting with Hu Xiangjun.

Hyman was quite handsome, so Hu Xiangjun immediately blushed.

Xiao Shan was worried that Hu Xiangjun would suffer a loss, so he specially called her out to give her some advice.

After listening to Xiao Shan's instructions, Hu Xiangjun nodded, indicating that she would stay away from Haiman and the others.

Seeing that Hu Xiangjun seemed to have taken his words to heart, Xiao Shan told her to go back to her room, and then he and Zhou Bangqiu went back to their own rooms to rest.

Watching Hu Xiangjun's departing figure, Xiao Shan could only hope that she had truly listened to what he had said.

After all, Western sailors at that time were used to being womanizers, and Xiao Shan didn't want a naive girl like Hu Xiangjun to be deceived.

Besides, even if Hyman wasn't the womanizer, Hu Xiangjun dating a big shot like John wouldn't end well.

Soon after, the cargo ship departed from the port.

Xiao Shan looked out at the sea through the small balcony in his room, and he was in a very good mood.

Xiao Shan took out the coffee he had previously bought from the group's online store from his backpack in the chat group and started brewing it.

Back when we lived in Beijing, it wasn't appropriate for people in Xiaoshan to bring out these coffees to drink.

Now that they're on the ship, Xiao Shan can finally drink coffee legitimately.

Time quickly came to lunchtime. Xiao Shan put away the coffee, got up, and left the room.

When Xiao Shan came out of the room, he found that Zhou Bangqiu and the others were already waiting for him in the corridor.

After all, without Xiao Shan leading the way, they wouldn't dare to wander around on this ship.

Looking at Zhou Bangqiu and the others who were waiting for him, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Let's go!"

On their way to the restaurant, they also encountered Hyman.

Hyman greeted Xiao Shan with a grin, "Xiao, are you seasick?"

"The boat is quite stable, I haven't felt that yet!" Xiao Shan shook his head and said.

Hyman grinned mischievously: "That's before the rougher parts start. Just you wait, none of you will be able to get up then!"

Looking at Hyman's confident demeanor, Xiao Shan said calmly, "Then I'll stand right in front of you and give you a real surprise!"

"No problem, I'll be waiting!"

The group arrived at the restaurant. Hyman pointed out the direction where the cutlery was placed to Xiao Shan and the others, and then went to find his companions.

The ship's restaurant is just like the canteen in a steel mill; you have to queue to get your food.

However, this place provides a tale of tragedy, while the steel mill's canteen requires diners to bring their own lunchboxes.

Xiao Shan glanced at the menu and discovered that today's meal consisted of steak with mashed potatoes, two slices of bread, and a small piece of butter.

Under Xiao Shan's guidance, everyone received their food.

After finding a table and sitting down, Zhou Bangqiu and the others looked at the knives and forks in front of them and didn't know where to start.

Xiao Shan immediately demonstrated to them how to properly use Western tableware.

After carefully watching Xiao Shan's demonstration, Zhou Bangqiu and the others began to eat cautiously.

Hu Xiangjun used her knife and fork to cut the steak in front of her and found that there was still a little blood at the cut. She immediately covered her mouth.

After a long while, Hu Xiangjun finally suppressed her nausea: "There's blood in this, how can we eat it!"

Not only Hu Xiangjun, but everyone else looked at their medium-rare steaks with a troubled expression.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Shan calmly forked a piece of steak and put it in his mouth: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. They can't possibly prepare a separate meal for us here, so please make do!"

After swallowing the steak, Xiao Shan looked at everyone encouragingly: "To be honest, it tastes pretty good, especially tender! You guys should try it!"

Seeing Xiao Shan's expression, everyone was skeptical and hesitated to take a bite.

In the end, Zhou Bangqiu picked up a knife and fork, struck a heroic pose, cut off a piece of steak, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes, and chewed with a frown.

As he chewed, Zhou Bangqiu slowly opened his eyes, looking at Xiao Shan with surprise: "It's really not bad! At least I've never eaten such tender beef before!"

Upon hearing Zhou Bangqiu's words, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Look how well these John Bulls are eating; they must be big eaters!"

With Xiao Shan and Zhou Bangqiu taking the lead, everyone picked up their knives and forks and began to enjoy their steaks.

Apart from Hu Xiangjun, who still doesn't like bloody steak, everyone else had a good opinion of it.

After all, this was the first time everyone had tried such a novel dish; they had never eaten such bloody meat before in China.

It took them a long time to mentally prepare themselves before they ate the food in front of them, and the surrounding crew members were quite friendly; no one laughed at them.

Next, Xiaoshan taught everyone how to spread butter on bread.

People generally have a high opinion of the combination of bread and butter.

"Director Xiao, how do you know so much!" Hu Xiangjun looked at Xiao Shan with admiration.

Xiao Shan smiled and explained to everyone, "I've read a lot of books about the West and learned from them. Actually, this is the first time I've put the knowledge from the books into practice!"

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's explanation, everyone nodded in understanding.

After finishing their meal, Zhou Bangqiu and the others returned the tableware and then lined up to follow Xiao Shan back to their room.

Seeing everyone behaving so obediently, not daring to leave the group even for a moment, Xiao Shan couldn't help but find it amusing: "You don't have to stay in your rooms all the time. You can go out onto the deck and take a stroll. The view from the sea is quite nice!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads, indicating that they were perfectly fine in their rooms.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Shan didn't say anything more.

That's good, so Hu Xiangjun won't get harassed by that bastard Haiman again when she's out strolling around later.

Chapter 390, Buy a camera and take pictures to show my wife! (Please subscribe!)

After a few days, Zhou Bangqiu and the others gradually got used to Western food.

After all, they couldn't enjoy a life with meat every day back in Beijing.

So now that it was time to eat, Zhou Bangqiu and the others were very eager to participate.

That noon, just as the lunch bell rang, Xiao Shan was still reading in his room when Zhou Bangqiu and the others came to ask him to go to the restaurant for lunch together.

Seeing how enthusiastic Zhou Bangqiu and the others were, Xiao Shan put away the book and then left the room with them.

In the restaurant, while Xiao Shan and his group were eating around the table, the crew members at the next table were talking about the women they had met in various countries.

Hearing the crew members excitedly chatting about such explicit things, Xiao Shan was speechless.

Looking at the crew members chatting animatedly, Hu Xiangjun asked curiously, "Director Xiao, what are they talking about? They seem so happy."

Xiao Shan took a bite of his sandwich without batting an eye: "They're discussing the interesting things that happened during their voyage!"

Hu Xiangjun looked at Xiao Shan with a face full of curiosity: "Really? What kind of interesting things happened?"

Xiao Shan, somewhat helplessly, casually recounted the plot of One Piece to Hu Xiangjun in a realistic manner.

"This doesn't seem that interesting, does it?" Hu Xiangjun asked with some doubt after hearing Xiao Shan's fabricated story.

At this moment, Zhou Bangqiu saw the lewd smiles on the faces of the crew members and instantly understood what was going on. He said to Hu Xiangjun, "Alright, let's eat!"

Seeing that her minister had spoken, Hu Xiangjun had no choice but to suppress her curiosity and silently lower her head to eat the Western food on her plate.

As for Zhang Changwei, although he only knew a little English, he knew that Xiao Shan was talking nonsense.

Although Wang Youle and Zhu Xusheng did not understand English, they could tell what the crew members were talking about just by looking at their expressions.

At this moment, they were particularly envious of Xiao Shan for being able to understand what these John-like people were saying.

After all, there were absolutely no entertainment facilities on this cargo ship; all everyone did every day was stare blankly into space.

Listening to these dirty jokes can be a good form of entertainment!

Xiao Shan opened the lunchbox he had brought and shared some of the spicy diced chicken, steamed buns, and flatbreads with everyone: "You're all probably tired of eating these things these days, so let's have some of our home-style Chinese dishes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone cheered: "Director Xiao, you are so generous!"

Xiao Shan smiled upon hearing this but said nothing.

After all, I've brought it to the restaurant; I can't just eat it all by myself!

But Xiao Shan soon regretted it!

Because the crew members next to Xiaoshan saw some unfamiliar food on the table, they came over and said they wanted to try it.

Faced with these curious crew members, Xiao Shan could only generously tell them, "No problem, try as much as you like!"

One of the crew members stuck a piece of spicy chicken into his mouth with a fork, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears from the spiciness.

However, he still gave Xiao Shan a thumbs up and said, "Xiao, it's spicy, but it's really great!"

Seeing this, the remaining crew members who were still observing also rushed over to join the queue, wanting to taste the mysterious cuisine from the East.

In no time, the two boxes of food that Xiao Shan brought to the restaurant were completely devoured.

The atmosphere in the restaurant became very lively, and several crew members even started tap dancing on the spot.

Zhou Bangqiu and the others were also infected by the enthusiastic atmosphere, and smiles appeared on everyone's faces.

"These John-like people are really enthusiastic!" Zhou Bangqiu said to Xiao Shan with a smile.

“When you are strong enough to earn their respect, these people will be very enthusiastic!” Xiao Shan said calmly.

After leaving the restaurant, with everyone in a particularly good mood, Zhou Bangqiu suggested, "Let's go for a walk on the deck today and digest our food!"

Having just witnessed the enthusiasm of these amazing people, everyone is no longer resistant to their current environment.

In addition, the ship had been sailing for several days, far away from the hustle and bustle, and the color of the seawater gradually turned azure.

Everyone wanted to see this beautiful sea view.

Therefore, no one had any objection to Zhou Bangqiu's proposal.

So, led by Xiao Shan, everyone went up to the deck.

Xiao Shan reminded everyone: "When enjoying the scenery, be sure to hold onto the railing and don't fall!"

Seeing the crowd scattered on the deck, enjoying the sea view, Xiao Shan also came to the railing, leaned on it, and felt the sea breeze on his face.

Sunlight spilled onto the sea, reflecting a shimmering glow.

The azure sky and the deep blue sea complement each other, and a flock of seagulls flies by in the distance.

Xiao Shan squinted, admiring the unobstructed sea view in front of him, feeling extremely refreshed and relaxed.

It was a pity he didn't have a camera, otherwise he would definitely have taken a picture of the sea view and shown it to Ding Qiunan when he got back.

Although Ding Qiunan couldn't personally go aboard the ship to see the beautiful scenery, seeing it in photos was still a pleasant experience.

Thinking about this, Xiao Shan pondered that these crew members must have cameras on them.

Why don't I just buy a camera from them and take some photos to remember the occasion?

This way, even if Ding Qiunan from the family doesn't come out with him, she can still appreciate such beautiful scenery.

As for why Xiao Shan didn't let Zhang Chulan and the others buy him a camera, it was because that way he wouldn't be able to explain to Zhou Bangqiu where the camera came from.

Buying from these crew members is a different story.

Zhou Bangqiu and the others could all see it, so naturally they wouldn't say anything.

As for foreign exchange, Xiao Shan exchanged a considerable amount of pounds after learning that he was going on a business trip to John's.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Shan immediately looked around, hoping to find a crew member on the deck who could sell him a camera.

Just then, a crew member came out of the cabin and was leaning against the railing smoking.

Xiao Shan recognized the crew member; he was the first person to eat his spicy chicken cubes, named Ian.

Xiao Shan walked up to Ian and greeted him.
