Just as Xie Ling was thinking, a figure came running from a distance, shouting as he ran: "I know, I know!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and Xie Ling also turned her head.
A figure wrapped in a large quilt was getting closer and closer. It turned out to be Gao Wanhua.
She bent over, one hand on her knee, the other holding a book, and said breathlessly, "Xie Ling, I know who can drive the boat. I just heard you talking over there."
"Do you know anyone who can sail a boat?"
A name slowly emerged in Xie Ling's mind.
"Jiang Wanyi. She should be able to open it. I heard her say it before. Go back and ask her."
Xie Ling thought, as expected.
She actually forgot about Jiang Wanyi.
"I only knew that she could build ships, but I didn't know she could sail such a big ship. But..."
Gao Wanhua leaned close to Xie Ling's ear and asked, "Are you worried that it would be difficult for a woman like her to get along with so many men?"
Xie Ling nodded.
Gao Wanhua looked around at the fishermen, all of whom were tall and strong men. After thinking for a while, she whispered, "Why not find someone to accompany her? Besides, Wanniang might be braver than we thought. Didn't she often go out to sea with her husband before?"
Xie Ling nodded.
"Then I'll go back and ask her."
Then he said to the fishermen, "Everyone, go home first. I have found the person who is driving the boat. Meet at the gate of the county government in two days."
After Xie Ling returned, she found Jiang Wanyi in the cake shop.
There were many people queuing outside the cake shop. There was a small wooden sign at the door with today's new products written on it. There was also a small pattern drawn next to it. There was a tasting plate underneath with cakes cut into small pieces.
This method was taught to them by Xie Ling.
Xie Ling went in through the back door without disturbing the people in line.
The cake shop was filled with sweet smells, candles emitted warm light, and women wearing gloves and aprons were working in an orderly manner.
Jiang Wanyi is stirring the cream.
Whipping the cream is the most time-consuming and laborious step in making a cake.
It takes a long time to whip the egg whites until they are creamy.
Jiang Wanyi did not stop at all, his forearms tightened, his face calm, until the egg white in the bowl turned into milky white and fluffy cream. He took the eggs beside him and prepared to stir the second bowl.
Seeing that she had finished, Xie Ling quickly ran over and held her hand: "Wan Niang, stop hitting me. I have something to talk to you about."
Jiang Wanyi took off his mask and went to the back door with Xie Ling, "A Ling, what's going on?"
After Xie Ling explained her purpose clearly, she clearly saw Jiang Wanyi's originally calm eyes slowly light up, as if a flame was burning.
She took a deep breath and said, "I can do it. I don't even need a centimeter. Just let me go. I really miss the feeling of being on the sea."
Xie Ling paused, "This trip is full of men, and it's very dangerous. If something happens, your son..."
Jiang Wanyi shook her head, "Xie Ling, I know you are going to do great things, and I want to lend you a hand.
First of all, I come from the Bai family, the oldest shipbuilding family in Xiangzhou. I can repair ships, build ships, and sail ships. As long as you give me enough materials, I can build any kind of ship. No one in Sinan is more suitable for this task than me.
Secondly, I want to take my child with me. He must be brave to inherit his late father's will and not be worthy of the surname Bai. "
Looking at the changes in Jiang Wanyi's expression, Xie Ling knew that she had found the right person.
I also know that I have always underestimated Jiang Wanyi.
She has ambition and aspirations, and is as courageous as a man.
"Okay. I will send two trusted soldiers to go out to sea with you. Go back and pack your things. We will set off in two days."
Jiang Wanyi nodded excitedly, then widened his eyes, "I still have two eggs to beat. You go back first, I'll leave after I finish!"
Xie Ling curled her lips. "Okay. I'll go back and prepare supplies for you at sea."
When Xie Ling returned, in addition to food and clothing, she also prepared a compass, basic medicines, and went into the space to pick a lot of fresh fruits on the fruit mountain.
You can't eat fresh fruits and vegetables at sea, and you can't supplement your vitamins, so it's easy to get scurvy.
Xie Ling put all the picked fruits into an iron box filled with ice cubes. The temperature has been low recently, so they should be able to keep for a while without going bad.
On the third day, all the fishermen gathered in front of the county government office, put on their backpacks, and headed towards the salt field in a mighty procession.
Seeing that the person driving the boat was a woman with a child, no one dared to disobey, and some even speculated whether it was the hidden boss that Xie Ling had found.
After all, the presence of a capable girl like Xie Ling has broken many people's traditional concepts, and they no longer judge a person's strength based on gender or age.
Such a large group of people walking towards the beach attracted the attention of the people.
Whether they were repairing roads or public toilets, going to school, or transporting coal, they all stopped their work, watched the fishermen go away, and wished them a safe journey.
"Come on, brothers!"
"We'll build the road and you guys can fish!"
"We'll transport the coal well, too!"
"Brothers, come back soon to celebrate the New Year together!"
.......
The education in the school and the concept of unity that Xie Ling usually emphasizes in meetings have already subtly influenced the people's cognition. They know that they are a collective and that fishermen go out to sea so that the public can eat better.
Infected by this atmosphere, all the fishermen's eyes turned red and a fire burned in their hearts.
They used to fish and go out to sea, but who had ever seen such a situation?
In one month, even if I lose my life, I must bring back enough fish for the people of Sinan Changshou!
