Chapter 1251
The shipowner was talking to the owner of the tavern. He didn't expect someone to talk to him suddenly, so he was stunned after hearing what long Tianci said, and turned his head to look at long Tianci. After seeing the appearance of long Tianci, the shipowner frowned and then asked, "you want to get on my ship? You don't look like a sailor?"
In fact, people who sail all year round can see it at a glance. Because they are exposed to the sun all year round, sailors generally have dark skin. Moreover, sailors are very strong because they often have to deal with sea disasters such as storms. Another thing is that sailors have a smell of the sea, which can not be washed away by bathing.
Look at long Tianci now. His skin is white and his body is not strong. The beard stuck to his face to hide his identity makes long Tianci look like a middle-aged man in his thirties. How can a man like this look like a sailor?
The shipowner thought that long Tianci was just a tramp who couldn't afford to eat. When he heard that he wanted to recruit people, he came to make up for the number, so he said angrily: "go away! I'm looking for a sailor, not a skinny chicken like you!"
Long Tianci finally found a chance to get on the boat, so he didn't get angry because of the other party's impoliteness. Instead, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "brother, I'm really a sailor!"
"Do you think me PI Laosan is a new fool? I've seen 800 sailors as well as 1000 sailors. How can there be a sailor like you? Get out of the way! Don't bother me!" the ship owner seems to be angry because of the entanglement of Dragon God, so he said unhappily!
Seeing that the other party was a little anxious, long Tianci was embarrassed to continue to entangle. He had to give up the idea of joining the ship and sit back to his previous position. He didn't care much about being rejected. After all, he didn't look like a crew member!
The boat owner looked unhappy when he saw that long Tianci was gone, and then subconsciously looked at long Tianci. However, this guy was stunned because he found that the food on long Tianci's table was not bad. There were fish, meat and wine. Where was it like a tramp who couldn't eat?
The ship owner has been at sea for so many years and has seen many people. Maybe he will judge people by their appearance at the beginning, but once he finds any clues, this guy's ideas will change. Only in this way can people who adapt to changes survive at sea!
After staring at long Tianci for a while, the boat owner walked over and sat on the seat next to long Tianci. Long Tianci was buried in eating. He found that the boat owner who had shown extreme impatience with himself sat over. After putting down his knife and fork, long Tianci looked up and smiled at the boat owner and asked, "what's the matter with you, big brother?"
"Er ~! Brother, I apologize for what happened just now, but what do we say? You really don't look like a sailor, and your dress and appearance are a little..." the ship owner said with a smile, but at the end, he didn't say any more, but looked at the Dragon gift with eyes full of vague hints!
Of course, long Tianci knows what the other party is referring to. He is dressed in coarse linen, with messy hair and some whiskers. When he sits down on the roadside with a broken bowl, it is estimated that a kind-hearted person will give money. If he meets such a person, he will look down on him!
But long Tianci had a good attitude. He wanted to keep a low profile. It was good to be ignored, so long Tianci smiled and said, "brother, I don't mean you judge people by appearance, but there are still some sloppy people like me in the world."
"Brother, to tell you the truth, I really lack sailors, but it is because sailors are difficult to recruit that I should be more strict. Otherwise, I don't have to run this ship if I find some rookies who can't do anything. Excuse me, can I ask what ship you've been on?" the ship owner asked tentatively, because he felt in a trance that long Tianci was not a mortal.
Long Tianci had already thought out his words, so he replied: "To tell you the truth, I used to be a sea runner and even a captain. Later, when I got old and didn't want to run away from the ship, I took my savings and did some small business on the land. Some time ago, the war had a great impact on my business, and finally I went bankrupt. My daughter-in-law also ran away with others. Although I still had some savings, I couldn't sit back and eat nothing! So I wanted to return to my old business, Don't look at me like this. I have rich sailing experience! "
What he said was flawless. The ship owner nodded repeatedly. If he said so according to long Tianci, everything would be successful. The ship owner seemed to be really short of people. After hesitation, the ship owner suddenly said: "Brother, if you really want to get on my ship, I can hire you, but I'll tell you the ugly story. If I find you unfit to be a sailor, I won't keep you halfway. After all, there are no idle people on my ship!"
"Don't worry about this. If you think I can't, just throw me into the sea. I have no complaints!" long Tianci was also forthright and said with a smile!
"OK! Then I'll hire you. Tomorrow morning, you go to No. 3 wharf. A merchant ship called Zhenhai is my ship. Go to the ship and find the sailor elder Kui. Just say I let you go!" the ship owner immediately decided to hire long Tianci!
Hearing the boat owner say he promised to hire him, he was very happy, but he had to pretend to be vigilant on the surface and asked, "boss, you can hire me, but you have to agree on the salary first? How do you settle my salary? How much can you give?"
"... well, our voyage is fifty-five days. What do you think if I give you this number?" the ship owner smiled after hearing the words given by the Dragon God, and then stretched out a hand.
Long Tianci knows that the other party is talking about five gold coins, which is not low but not high among the sailors of sailing ships. It is a very reasonable price. Of course, long Tianci just doesn't want the other party to feel wrong, so he makes a story and asks. With his financial resources, he will care how much money the other party gives?
In this way, long Tianci reached an employment agreement with the other party. After that, the boat owner talked with the hotel owner and left. Long Tianci still sat there for dinner. He had nowhere to go and did not dare to stay in the hotel, so he decided to make arrangements in this pub for one night and report to Zhenhai the next morning.
The tavern is still noisy. The shouts, the folk songs sung by the singing girls in the tavern, the charming laughter of the women who come out to solicit customers, and the sound of fighting are all mixed together. It's a mess!
Long Tianci, who had enough to eat and drink, asked for a large glass of wheat wine. Then he sat in the corner and drank it slowly. This glass of wine was his capital to spend time!
During this period of time, long Tianci couldn't eat well and sleep well. After a full meal, long Tianci suddenly felt that his eyelids began to fight, and finally he couldn't even open his eyes.
Although the environment nearby was very noisy, the tired long Tianci seemed to turn a deaf ear to them. Before long, long Tianci fell asleep in his chair!
