Chapter 160 Chartering a Boat
Shi Qingqing had no objection.
The ship is empty anyway, and it is best to make money.
"It's barely enough for the two of you to come up here for filming and activities. If there are more people, you can consider a larger ship. Anyway, I'm not ready to go out to sea in the next two days."
"Okay, but for a big fishing boat, the taste might be a little... inappropriate, right?"
Oh, I thought about this.
"I'll put away the net and just mop the floor."
"Okay, that's it. Can you also have lunch? We'll pay you double the boat rental fee."
Shi Qingqing smiled and said, "Okay, then I will upgrade your treatment. The rent for a large ship or a small ship is the same, and there will be free drinks and snacks on the ship, as well as activities to eat whatever you catch."
Wow, even Aqiao was moved.
The two chatted for a while, and Shi Qingqing learned something a little embarrassing.
This Aqiao is Mr. Wu’s sister-in-law.
She wasn't sure how much this person knew about what Young Master Wu was doing outside.
Although it was not him who did the bad thing, nor was it him who encouraged Guo Yumei to get along with Wu Shao.
But he was also an insider and had some friendship with Guo Yumei.
When I heard her identity at this moment, I actually felt guilty.
She shook her head and thought that people should not take on too many things for themselves.
I'm not a concubine, so why should I feel guilty about her?
Worried that it would be awkward if they ran into Guo Yumei later, Shi Qingqing chatted for a while and then said that she would go back to clean the boat and asked the two where they were staying.
"I know where your home is. I'll go find you directly. It won't be inconvenient."
"No, my husband and I are the only ones at home, no outsiders."
They agreed to meet at noon tomorrow because they planned to eat and play, then go back to sleep, and come to Shi Qingqing in the early morning to quietly wait for the sunrise.
This is the current itinerary. We will follow this pace for the first three days and we can discuss it later if necessary.
"Okay, I'll prepare it. I hope none of you have any allergies or food taboos."
"If there is someone who is allergic to peanuts, just tell him which dish has peanuts. We can just prepare two dishes and let him eat one plate at a time. We can't accommodate everyone for one person." Linda took the initiative to say this. She didn't want to give up delicious food for the sake of others.
Shi Qingqing smiled and made up her mind not to have any peanut products or even peanut oil.
Linda and the other person had to meet other people, so they chatted for a few minutes and then left with their cameras.
Guo Yumei came from a distance about ten minutes after they left.
She had already hidden the ten thousand yuan that Shi Qingqing had lent her.
On the way back, Shi Qingqing mentioned Linda's boat rental.
He also talked about Aunt Wu's sister.
Guo Yumei was silent for a moment, and then promised that she would not look for Shi Qingqing during this time to avoid embarrassment for everyone.
Shi Qingqing didn't say anything in response, just said that since she had made the choice, she should focus on making money.
Maybe you will think differently when you have money.
Guo Yumei agreed, but one could still see some ambiguity between her brows.
Guo Yumei returned home, and Shi Qingqing also returned home.
She mentioned the matter of renting a boat, and Zhao Fengnian went to clean the boat, without even letting Shi Qingqing go to clean it.
Shi Qingqing put some fragrance in the cabin and wiped the hull with the fragrance liquid.
By the way, I touched up the color of a few places that seemed uneven.
After that, you just need to prepare something like 'souvenirs' in the house, such as snacks and drinks for each person.
In the evening, the couple discussed the menu.
They didn't come here mainly to eat. Even if they did, they might be more interested in freshly caught seafood, so they had a simple lunch. Everyone had a plate and ate like a buffet. They also brought some Western-style food that they are more accustomed to in Hong Kong, so they might feel more comfortable.
There is no need to specially separate the lunch box for the person with allergies. If everyone eats the same way, there will be no special exceptions.
"We made the sweet and sour radish as a cold dish on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, and smoked goose. Cut the smoked egg in half and put it on a plate with the smoked goose. That counts as two dishes. Stir-fried cauliflower with pork pie, braised pork with preserved vegetables, pork ribs and morel soup, stir-fried clams, pumpkin pie, rice and dumplings as the staple food. That should be enough."
There is a self-service bar for drinks and please prepare a few new cups.
After the discussion, the two started making dumplings in the evening.
Since I'm just making up the number, I don't need a lot, so I've packed some leeks and eggs, corn, mushrooms, and shrimps. I still have some pork in the refrigerator, so a total of 60 are more than enough.
Freeze extra packs.
After the dumplings were wrapped, they were eaten as a meal in the evening. After dinner, Zhao Fengnian went to order two smoked geese and a dozen smoked eggs.
Everything is done, and we will proceed step by step the next day.
Just after noon, Linda arrived with three men and two women.
There were six people, and as soon as Linda came in, she felt her stomach and looked for food.
Shi Qingqing took them to wash their hands with a smile, then took the plates to the dining table and picked up what they liked.
"This is just like having a buffet at our hotel. It's fun."
A Qiao took the plate and initially chose only two dumplings, a little cauliflower and a pumpkin pie. Later, she thought the dumplings were delicious and the smoked eggs looked good too, so she tried them.
As a result, we also started tasting the smoked goose.
The others also thought the seasoning was very tasty.
The drinks also tasted very high-end. I used to feel that Linda’s slightly exaggerated recommendation was unreliable, but now I am convinced. The craftsmanship is indeed good and the ingredients are also good.
After eating and drinking enough, my mood improved by three points.
Shi Qingqing presented the packaged 'souvenirs', various snacks and biscuits, and a bottle of sweet water for each person, and then followed them onto the boat.
Everyone chatted and took pictures first, then Zhao Fengnian took over from Shi Qingqing at the wheel, and Shi Qingqing demonstrated how to cast the net to everyone.
He said that what they caught would be for dinner. Someone else wanted to go fishing, so Shi Qingqing gave him another fishing rod.
I dare not use my own fishing rod.
Regardless of whether anyone would notice something unusual, what if someone accidentally lost it?
She was afraid that she would kill that person.
For the safety of passengers, it is better not to use your fishing rod when there are outsiders around.
Not to mention lending it to them.
Fishing has been a popular recreational activity since ancient times. Soon the boat became quiet and conversations became whispered.
Shi Qingqing opened some biscuits and fed them to Zhao Fengnian. The two of them looked at the people outside through the glass in the cabin.
Shi Qingqing said that maybe someone would like this kind of cruise mode in the future.
It's just that people living on the coast are used to it, or they are reluctant to spend money to rent a boat, otherwise it shouldn't be a long-term business.
"It's okay. We are just the two of us anyway. We can't finish the work if there are more people." Zhao Fengnian drove the boat slowly, looking at their relaxed and comfortable appearance, and suddenly suggested. "Wife, when we are not so anxious to make money, let's go out and have some fun."
Where to go?
In the city?
“Leave the province, or go to Hong Kong and Macau, go to Beijing to see Tiananmen Square… go to Guilin to see the mountains and rivers.”
Ah, travel fun.
"Okay." Shi Qingqing looked at Zhao Fengnian and replied.
