Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

So Zhang Changwei and the others became quite engrossed in listening.

At this moment, the bar counter in the restaurant is no longer stocked with food, but with all kinds of drinks.

There is whiskey, brandy, wine, and beer to satisfy the crew's various preferences.

Xiaoshan led everyone to an empty table to sit down.

There weren't many people sitting in the restaurant at the moment; most of the crew members were standing and chatting in twos and threes.

Or they could just sway their bodies to the music in the open space in the middle.

Judging from this, Xiao Shan figured the party hadn't officially started yet.

Once they get into a good drink, these crew members will definitely start dancing wildly.

I just hope that it won't scare Zhang Changwei and the others.

"Do you drink?" Xiao Shan raised his voice so that everyone could hear him clearly.

Zhou Bangqiu and the others were attending such an event for the first time, and they seemed a little awkward.

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's question, he hurriedly shook his head.

Seeing this, Xiao Shan didn't say anything more, but poured himself a glass of red wine and slowly savored it.

Just then, Ian walked into the restaurant from outside.

Seeing Xiao Shan and the others, Ian walked straight over.

Seeing Xiao Shan drinking red wine, Ian smiled and corrected him, "Xiao, you're using the wrong glass! Red wine should be poured into a stemmed glass so that your body temperature won't affect the taste when you hold the glass!"

Upon hearing Ian's correction, Xiao Shan adopted a humble and receptive demeanor.

Everyone saw that Xiao Shan had also made a mistake, but after Ian pointed it out, he remained composed and dignified, and Ian did not laugh at him, so they felt relieved.

And so, everyone gradually loosened up and tried to join in the joyful atmosphere.

After Ian poured everyone their drinks, he plopped down next to Xiao Shan.

Seeing this, Xiao Shan immediately pulled Ian to drink with him.

While drinking with Xiao Shan, Ian explained their local drinking culture to him.

Xiao Shan would also relay what Ian had said to everyone.

While enjoying various kinds of foreign liquors, everyone listened to Xiao Shan recount the culture of John Bull liquor.

Just as everyone was getting slightly tipsy, several tall and burly crew members wearing grass wreaths and grass skirts entered the venue.

They performed a hula dance for everyone, which immediately brought the atmosphere in the restaurant to a climax.

This is also a tradition among the crew members.

After all, female crew members are few and far between when sailing at sea.

So at every party, a few crew members would be asked to perform in drag, as a way to comfort these lonely old men.

This was the first time Zhou Bangqiu and his group had ever seen such a scene, and the exaggerated dance moves made everyone burst into laughter.

As the party was about to end, Xiao Shan led the drunken crowd back to his room.

The next day, when Zhou Bangqiu and the others got up, they all felt a bit of a headache, which meant that the effects of the alcohol from the previous night hadn't worn off yet.

After the party, everyone became bolder.

After learning everyday greetings from Xiaoshan, I gradually began to dare to go up to the deck alone to enjoy the scenery.

Zhang Changwei opened the door to a new world, as he particularly loved whiskey.

Every time I eat at a restaurant, I ask the chef for an extra shot of whiskey.

At first, Xiao Shan was needed to translate, but later Zhang Changwei learned to ask for whiskey in English on his own.

Not long after, when the cargo ship passed through the stormy area again, Zhou Bangqiu and the others were no longer seasick.

Even while the ship was rocking, everyone could sit in the restaurant chatting and laughing without changing their expressions, just like the crew members on the ship.

Only on a few nights when the wind and waves were particularly fierce, and the ship even sounded the alarm, did Zhou Bangqiu and the others become somewhat afraid.

At times like these, they would squeeze into a room in Xiaoshan to feel safe.

Since the last party, everyone has been very proactive in learning some commonly used words from Xiaoshan.

After witnessing the crew's enthusiasm, everyone was eager to have a chat with them.

Finally, the cargo ship was about to dock for its first resupply.

Since Xiao Shan and his group couldn't go ashore like the crew, Xiao Shan borrowed a few fishing rods from Ian and his friends and took Zhou Bangqiu and the others to fish for sea fish on the deck.

It was everyone's first time trying sea fishing, so it felt very novel.

However, because this is a dock with a lot of boats moored here, most of the fish dare not come this way.

Even though Xiao Shan and his group caught a few fish, they were all very small, not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Even so, everyone had a great time.

Hyman didn't disembark this time, so he naturally saw Xiao Shan and the others having a great time sea fishing on the deck.

Hyman walked up to Xiao Shan and said, "Xiao, what kind of fish can you catch at the dock? If you want to do sea fishing, you have to go to the deep sea!"

"I'm afraid of catching sharks in the deep sea!" Xiao Shan said to Haiman with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Shan's words, Hyman laughed and said, "If you can really catch a shark, we'll definitely help you get it!"

"It's a pity our ship doesn't stop in the deep sea!" Xiao Shan waved his hand, somewhat helplessly.

Hyman chuckled: "That's easy. I'll talk to the captain later and see if we can stay in the deep sea for another two hours!"

It has to be said, Hyman really does what he says.

Three days later, the cargo ship sailed into the deep sea again. Hyman ran over to tell Xiaoshan that the captain had agreed to stop in the deep sea for two hours so that they could see what real sea fishing was like.

"Then I'll have to try and see if I can catch a shark!" Xiao Shan said to Haiman with a smile.

Hyman chuckled: "Sharks are out of the question! If we can catch a tuna, we can have some sashimi!"

"Then just you wait and see!" Xiao Shan said confidently.

When Xiao Shan called Zhou Bangqiu and the others to the deck, there were already quite a few crew members fishing.

Right now, everyone is using relatively small fishing hooks; they're all preparing to catch big fish.

I plan to catch some small fish first to use as bait before catching the bigger fish.

Xiao Shan and the others each received a fishing rod, found a suitable spot on the deck, and began casting their lines.

Xiaoshan was lucky and caught quite a few fish.

Among the fish he caught, there were some he didn't recognize at all.

One of the fish was particularly beautiful; its scales shimmered and shimmered in the sunlight, making it incredibly beautiful and dreamlike.

Xiao Shan even considered keeping it as a pet.

Unfortunately, these are saltwater fish and cannot survive in freshwater.

The only saving grace was that Xiao Shan managed to take a picture of the fish while it was still alive.

I can show it to Ding Qiunan and Xiao Jingyan later.

Seeing that Xiao Shan had caught quite a few fish, Haiman smiled and said, "Xiao, now you can change your hook and see if you can catch a tuna!"

As he spoke, Hyman brought over a large bucket of minced fish and dumped it all into the sea to prepare a fishing spot for Xiaoshan.

When Xiao Shan saw Ian dump a whole bucket full of minced fish, he realized he needed to catch at least one big fish to break even!

Sure enough, not long after Xiaoshan changed the fishing hook, fish started biting.

Xiao Shan felt a huge pull coming from the fishing line, and he quickly tightened the fishing rod to prevent it from flying out of his hand.

Xiao Shan gripped the fishing rod, pulling it taut and then loosening it as he began to play the fish.

In fact, with Xiao Shan's strength, he could easily pull the fish up by force.

However, this might attract too much attention.

So Xiao Shan decided to do the same as the other crew members: slowly exhaust the fish by playing it, and then pull it up.

Seeing Xiao Shan casually playing the fish, Haiman thought Xiao Shan had caught a small fish!

However, as Xiao Shan spent more and more time playing with the fish, Hyman realized that things were not so simple.

A fish that can be pulled out of the water after being tethered for so long must be quite large!

So Hyman cheered for Xiaoshan while remaining ready at any moment.

If Xiaoshan isn't strong enough, then I'll step in and help him fish.

After all, a big fish in the sea is generally too big for one person to handle.

However, as time slowly passed, Xiao Shan still appeared relatively relaxed, which surprised Hyman.

This Xiao doesn't look very strong, so how come he has such good stamina?

After walking around for about twenty minutes, Xiao Shan felt that the time was about right, so he prepared to pull up the fish he had caught.

Xiao Shan tentatively pulled the fishing line back, and the fish in the sea struggled even more fiercely.

Xiao Shan quickly loosened his grip to prevent the fishing rod from breaking.

Then Xiao Shan pulled hard again, and the fish in the sea finally surfaced.

Seeing a patch of blue emerging from the sea, Hyman excitedly shouted, "It's a bluefin tuna!"

Upon hearing Hyman's voice, everyone immediately put down their fishing rods and came over to join in the fun.

At this moment, Xiao Shan also used his inner strength to pull the bluefin tuna directly to the side of the cargo ship.

With lightning speed, Hyman thrust his harpoon into the sea and successfully hauled the bluefin tuna ashore.

This bluefin tuna is almost a meter long, and Hyman has to use both hands to hold it securely in his arms.

Xiao Shan's eyes lit up, and he quickly handed his camera to the crew member next to him. Then he took the bluefin tuna from Hyman and took a photo with it.

"We'll have an extra treat tonight!" Hyman exclaimed excitedly, looking at the bluefin tuna. "This is a rare delicacy!"

The crew members were overjoyed to see the bluefin tuna, which made them even more enthusiastic about fishing.

After setting the bluefin tuna down, Xiaoshan continued fishing.

However, perhaps catching this bluefin tuna used up all of Xiao Shan's luck, because the fish he caught afterward were not very big.

That evening, Xiao Shan and the others enjoyed sashimi made from the fattest part of the bluefin tuna belly.

I must say, this bluefin tuna tastes absolutely amazing!

Especially when you catch it yourself, it has a unique charm.

More than a month later, the cargo ship carrying Xiao Shan and his companions finally arrived at John Bull's port.

The buyers from John Bull's side also arrived at the port early with their entourage.

One container after another was unloaded from the cargo ship, and Xiao Shan, Zhou Bangqiu, and others were making handovers with the buyers.

The buyers this time were not the same John Bulls who delivered lighters to Xiaoshan last time, but a group of unfamiliar faces.

At 4 p.m., the buyer finished checking all the goods and then paid the remaining balance to Zhou Bangqiu.

When the other party handed him the check, Zhou Bangqiu carefully placed it in the inner pocket of his coat, as if afraid of losing it.

After all, they need this check to buy machine tools from their factory in Birmingham!

After everyone had been busy, it was already quite late, so the group decided to find a place to rest.

There were no embassies near the port, so Xiao Shan and his group had to find a hotel to rest in.

Xiao Shan led everyone to a private hotel not far from the port. After registering their visas, they successfully obtained the room keys.

This is John's Bull, so the prices are relatively high. Therefore, Xiaoshan booked two triple rooms.
