Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

After a brief chat with Ian, Xiao Shan asked Ian directly if he had a camera. He wanted to buy one to take pictures of himself and then bring them back to show his family.

After hearing Xiao Shan's words, Ian thought for a moment and said, "I have a camera and film, but I don't want money. Can you trade me the spicy food I just ate?"

"Of course, no problem!" Xiao Shan nodded. "How much of that spicy diced chicken do you want? I didn't bring much with me this time. If you want a lot, there's nothing I can do!"

Although Ding Qiunan didn't prepare much spicy chicken, he could ask Zhang Chulan to get him some canned spicy chicken!

Although the tastes will definitely be different, Xiao Shan estimates that Ian probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Of course, to avoid Ian making unreasonable demands, Xiao Shan also stated that he hadn't brought out much spicy chicken.

Chapter 391, Let's all take a picture! (Please subscribe!)

Ian also knew that Xiao Shan was going to John's to buy machine tools, not to sell spicy chicken, so he certainly didn't have much with him.

So after thinking for a moment, Ian said he needed ten boxes of the spicy diced chicken that Xiaoshan brought to the restaurant.

Hearing Ian's words, Xiao Shan smiled and nodded: "Sure! Besides, ten boxes of this spicy chicken won't be enough to cover the cost of the camera. I'll give you another ten pounds, how about that?"

Xiao Shan saw it in a department store; a brand new camera cost only twenty pounds.

Ian must have used the chicken; buying it for ten boxes of spicy chicken plus ten pounds wouldn't be considered a loss for him.

Ian was surprised that Xiao Shan would offer to give him more money, so he happily agreed.

Ian immediately returned to his room and handed his Ross camera and five rolls of film to Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan gave Ian ten pounds first, and as for the spicy chicken, he would bring it to him at the restaurant later when they had dinner.

Ian naturally said there was no problem with that.

Anyway, since they were on the ship, Xiao Shan couldn't possibly renege on his debts.

Ian then personally taught Xiao Shan how to use the Ross camera.

Because this Ross camera is a classic folding camera, its usage method is very different from that of later cameras.

After Xiao Shan learned how to use the Ross camera, he loaded a new roll of film and handed it to Ian: "Ian, could you take a picture of me and my companion?"

“Of course, it’s my pleasure!” Ian took the camera and nodded with a smile.

Xiao Shan immediately called Zhou Bangqiu and the others over, and they lined up at the railing, looking in Ian's direction.

Seeing that Xiao Shan had posed, Ian on the other side quickly pressed the shutter.

Hu Xiangjun asked Xiao Shan excitedly, "Director Xiao, why is the camera he's holding so small?"

At that time, most of the cameras used in photo studios in Beijing were desktop cameras.

Hu Xiangjun had never seen this type of folding camera before.

"This is a folding camera, so it's smaller!" Xiao Shan explained to Hu Xiangjun with a smile. "When we get back, I'll have my colleagues in the publicity department develop the photos, one for each of us!"

"Great!" Everyone cheered upon hearing this.

Zhou Bangqiu was also very happy, but he still cautioned, "After you get these photos, you must not show them to outsiders, otherwise it will easily cause trouble, understand?"

"Understood!" everyone answered in unison.

After handing the camera and film to Xiao Shan, Ian said goodbye and returned to his post.

Everyone stared blankly at the camera in Xiao Shan's hand: "Director Xiao, did he give this to you?"

Xiao Shan nodded: "I traded ten boxes of spicy diced chicken and ten pounds with him."

Zhou Bangqiu carefully examined the camera in Xiao Shan's hand and said to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, this camera looks pretty good! But when you go back, you should use it less often. At most, you can only use it in the factory!"

Zhou Bangqiu was also very knowledgeable and recognized the camera in Xiao Shan's hand at a glance; there wasn't a single one like it in Beijing.

Xiao Shan nodded. "Brother Zhou, don't worry, I know! I just had a sudden urge to record all the beautiful scenery here so I can show it to my wife and the others when I get back!"

Zhou Bangqiu nodded slightly: "It is indeed very meaningful to record such beautiful scenery."

"Director Xiao, could you take a couple more pictures for us?" Zhang Changwei looked at Xiao Shan expectantly.

Before Xiao Shan could speak, Hu Xiangjun chimed in, "Go away, don't you know film is expensive? Everyone's been filming us, why is Director Xiao only filming the beautiful scenery at sea?"

Xiao Shan thought for a moment and realized that five rolls of film would be enough for him to film all the way to John Bull.

As for John Bull, will there still be any fear of not being able to buy film?

So Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take a solo photo of each of you. When we get them developed, we'll all have something to brag about!"

"Really?" Zhang Changwei exclaimed with delight. "Thank you, Director Xiao!"

After their initial surprise, Hu Xiangjun and the others quickly thanked Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan waved his hand: "No need to be so polite! Come on, Brother Zhou, go first, strike a cool pose!"

As the shutter clicked repeatedly, the deck was filled with everyone's laughter and chatter.

Finally, Xiao Shan handed the camera to Zhang Changwei, taught him how to press the shutter, and then took a solo photo of himself against the backdrop of blue sky, white clouds, and sea.

Everyone left the deck with lingering enjoyment.

Back in the cabin, they were still chattering about the photos.

"I'll show the photo to my wife later, she'll be so impressed with me!" Zhang Changwei said with a touch of smugness, recalling the cool pose he had just struck.

"Minister, let's go play on the deck again after lunch tomorrow!" Hu Xiangjun was already looking forward to tomorrow.

Zhou Bangqiu shook his head and said, "How can we go up to the deck to play every day? To avoid trouble, let's all just bear with it!"

Hearing Zhou Bangqiu say this, everyone was a little eager, but they still nodded to show that they understood.

Watching Zhou Bangqiu and the others return to their respective rooms, Xiao Shan closed his room door and started tagging Zhang Chulan in the chat group, asking him to get him some canned spicy diced chicken.

Zhang Chulan: "No problem! Group owner, how many do you want?"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Get me thirty or forty bottles!"

Zhang Chulan: "No problem!"

Huang Rong: "Group owner, why are you making this spicy chicken? Are you planning to give it away?"

Group admin Xiao Shan: "I bought a camera from a crew member, and he asked me to trade it for spicy diced chicken!"

Huang Rong: "Oh, I see! Are you still on the ship?"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Yeah! Still on the ship! It'll be at least another month before we reach John's!"

Huang Rong: "The world is so big, I wonder when I'll be able to travel to places beyond Kyushu!"

Zhou Bingkun: "Rong'er, with your current strength, you shouldn't have any problem protecting yourself anywhere in your world!"

Huang Rong: "I can protect myself, but I don't want to ride a horse to such a far place!"

Group owner Xiao Shan: "Then you'll just have to wait until your group shop refreshes with ships capable of long voyages, and then you can set sail! Otherwise, with the current shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty, long-distance voyages would be a bit dangerous!"

Chapter 392, The Group Exhausted from Seasickness! (Please Subscribe!)

While Xiao Shan was chatting with the other people in the chat group, Zhang Chulan sent Xiao Shan the canned spicy chicken cubes he had bought via a group red envelope.

After receiving the canned spicy chicken cubes sent to him by Zhang Chulan, Xiao Shan packed ten boxes of them into his own bag.

As for the empty cans, Xiao Shan tore off the packaging and threw them directly into the sea from the balcony.

The packaging paper was burned to ashes by Xiaoshan and then thrown into the sea.

During dinner, Xiao Shan brought ten boxes of spicy diced chicken to Ian.

Xiao Shan also asked Ian about the crew party.

Ian gave Xiao Shan a mysterious smile: "After we get through the first storm zone, there will be a party tonight! But I don't think you'll be able to attend!"

"How could that be! I'll definitely be there!" Xiao Shan looked at Ian with disbelief.

Ian grinned at Xiao Shan: "Xiao, come back and say that to me again if you can make it through tomorrow! Our ship will probably be entering the stormy area tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, it's just a small commotion, we won't take it to heart!" Xiao Shan said confidently.

Ian smiled but remained silent when Xiao Shan said that.

Clearly, they didn't believe Xiaoshan would be alive and kicking tomorrow.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Xiao Shan, who was cultivating, felt the cargo ship begin to rock from side to side.

However, given Xiao Shan's strength, such shaking could not affect him at all.

Xiao Shan glanced out onto the balcony and saw that the seawater was a deeper color than yesterday, almost bluish-black.

The sun was still shining brightly outside, but the boat kept rocking from side to side, probably because of the big waves.

Keep in mind that this is a cargo ship with a capacity of over 10,000 tons. The fact that such a behemoth is still rocking so much shows just how turbulent the waves are!

Feeling the increasingly violent shaking, Xiao Shan guessed that Zhou Bangqiu and the others might be in for a rough time.

When it was time for breakfast, Xiao Shan thought that Zhou Bangqiu and the others probably wouldn't be able to eat breakfast, but he still went to call them.

Then Xiao Shan saw Zhou Bangqiu and the others vomiting profusely.

When Xiao Shan invited them to breakfast, Zhou Bangqiu and the others shook their heads to indicate that they would not go.

So Xiao Shan went to the restaurant alone.

When Ian saw Xiao Shan eating breakfast alone, an incredulous look appeared on his face.

"Xiao, are you really completely alright?" Ian asked Xiao Shan as he walked up to him.

Xiao Shan looked up at Ian and smiled, "Of course! Do I look like I'm in a bad situation?"

"Amazing! Xiao, you're the first person I've ever seen who faced a storm for the first time and didn't react at all!" Ian gave Xiao Shan a thumbs up. "But while you're alright, your companions are probably suffering!"

Hearing Ian's words, Xiao Shan thought of Zhou Bang's pleading with them and nodded, saying, "Yes! They don't want to eat breakfast anymore! If this continues for a few days, I'm worried they'll starve to death!"

"Don't worry, in less than three days, once your companions' bodies have adjusted, they won't be like this anymore!" Ian said with a smile. "We went through the same thing!"

After finishing breakfast, Xiao Shan returned to his room.

Time quickly came to lunchtime. Xiao Shan went to check on Zhou Bangqiu and the others and found that they were vomiting so badly that they were almost exhausted.

In this condition, it would probably be difficult for them to even walk to the restaurant.

Xiao Shan then offered to bring the food back to their room for them to eat.

Although Zhou Bangqiu and the others felt somewhat embarrassed, given the current situation, they could only express their gratitude to Xiao Shan.

After Xiao Shan finished his lunch at the restaurant, he prepared to ask Zhou Bang and the others to bring some food back with them.

Just then, Ian and Hyman saw what Xiao Shan was doing, so they helped Xiao Shan deliver the food to Zhou Bangqiu's room.

After Zhou Bang asked them to eat some lunch, they finally regained some of their strength.

But less than half an hour later, they vomited up everything they had eaten.

This situation lasted for two whole days, and Zhou Bangqiu and the others finally began to get used to the degree of rocking on the ship.

Although he was still in a half-dead state, at least he didn't vomit up what he ate.

By the third day, apart from Zhou Bangqiu, Hu Xiangjun and the others had begun to recover.

Zhou Bangqiu was older, so he naturally adapted more slowly than the younger people like Hu Xiangjun.

On the fourth day, the ship sailed out of the first stormy area and the journey became stable again, at which point Zhou Bangqiu finally recovered completely.

On the fourth night, the crew had a party in the restaurant.

Xiao Shan had received the news from Ian beforehand, and after discussing it with everyone, he also wanted to join in the fun.

In fact, everyone was very curious about the party that Xiao Shan mentioned, so after hearing what Xiao Shan said, everyone readily agreed to go.

Although Zhou Bangqiu had some reservations, seeing that everyone wanted to go, he, as the leader, certainly had to go and keep an eye on them.

After all, the crew members on the ship were all young men, and his colleagues were all in their prime.

If he's not there to keep an eye on things, and something unexpected happens, it'll be hard to explain back in Beijing.

When Xiao Shan led everyone to the restaurant, romantic music was already playing inside.

Apart from Xiao Shan and Zhou Bangqiu, no one else had ever heard such music before.

After all, the music we usually listen to is inspiring and positive.

I've never encountered music that's purely designed to please people before.
