Pirate's Swordsmanship Supreme

Chapter 075 Chartering a Ship

A group of previously idle shipowners saw Qi Ya and the two carrying large and small bags, and immediately surrounded them with cheers and showed hospitality.

"Little brother, do you want to rent a boat? My boat is good. My boat has been sailing on the sea for five years without a single problem. I have rich experience."

"Bah, it's better not to shame your old boat out. Brother, my boat was bought last year. It's [-]% new and the rent is cheap. It can be calculated by sea miles or days."

"Old Xhosa, why didn't you say that even the keel of your ship has been repaired? Little brother, don't believe them. My family has the best reputation here. Except that the ship doesn't look that good, everything is fine. Okay. The rent is easy to negotiate."

……

A group of people were chattering away, and Qi Ya listened to their sales pitch and walked back from the end of the pier to the first boat placed in the rental area.

Choosing the best from the worst, the exterior paint of this ship is peeling off, and the slightly old three-masted sailboat is more eye-catching among the ships for rent.

After standing still, Qi Ya pointed at the ship and said with a smile:

"That's it. Who is the owner? Let's talk about rent."

"..." The group of people looked at each other, and finally turned their attention to the side. Under the shadow of the awning, the middle-aged lazy man was sitting on the stone wall with his hands folded, taking a nap.

For a moment, everyone felt a little unbalanced, "How come other people can make money from Bailey while they're sleeping? But people like me are running around here and there, almost telling the truth, and still can't get anything out of it?"

"Little brother, do you want to think about it again? His family..."

A boat owner nearby couldn't help but started to persuade him, but in the middle of his words, he saw the middle-aged lazy man yawning and opening his eyes, so he swallowed back the rest of his words and hid his body behind him. .

"What are you guys doing here? Don't block my business!"

After Charles was woken up by someone, he opened his eyes and found a group of people blocking the passage between him and his boat. He said with a dark face and a speechless expression.

Qi Ya looked at this somewhat maverick middle-aged man strangely. Just when he was thinking about whether to change his family, Charles saw Qi Ya and the two of them carrying large and small bags through the gap in the crowd. Then he pushed aside the rest of the crowd, rubbed his hands with a smile, and said:

"Does this handsome guy want to rent a boat? You can find me as long as you are halfway or short-distance, but the rent may be a bit more expensive, but ordinary pirates don't dare to mess with my boat, which can save a lot of trouble. "

After listening to what the other party said, Qi Ya looked at the middle-aged man with a short beard in front of him again, then looked at the three-masted sailboat on the side, and asked:

"How many people are there on your boat? Are you going to Shuangyue Village? How much is the rent?"

As soon as Charles heard the words, he felt that this order was interesting, and the smile on his face became more enthusiastic, and he answered one by one:

"There are four of us, including my two brothers and one sister. We went to Shuangyue Village. The rent is 20 Baileys per day."

Qi Ya thought for a while, without comment, and just asked the other party to take him to the boat to take a look first.

After boarding the deck of the Charles with her luggage, Qi Ya paid close attention to the environment of the cabin. It was relatively tidy inside, with a total of four bedrooms, two of which were probably used for tenants to live in. The furnishings were clean and simple, without any personal style. .

The two met each other's sister who was cleaning up in a bedroom——

She looks sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing simple music, her blond hair is combed into a braid, there are eyebrow-level bangs on her forehead, gold threads hanging down from her temples, some freckles on her face, but her skin is fair and beautiful, with exquisite and embossed features.

Seeing outsiders coming, a young boy and a girl in her early ten years, Yvette smiled brightly, put down her work, and came to receive them generously.

The security at sea is getting worse and worse, and the chartering industry, which was already not very prosperous, has become even worse. If the guests slip away from her fingers because of her poor service attitude, Yvette feels that she may I will be depressed for several days.

After walking around on the sailboat, Qi Ya didn't see the two younger brothers the other party mentioned.

However, there was nothing wrong with the ship itself, especially when the ship docked next to it was a dilapidated ship. In comparison, he had no dissatisfaction with the ship.

Considering that he might not be able to find a place to stay in a short time after arriving at Shuangyue Village, Qiya finally signed a two-day charter contract with the ship owner Charles, and paid a total of 2 beli after a discount.

Then, after leaving the not-so-valuable luggage in the chosen bedroom, he led Anita, who was holding a red cherry in her arms, and dragged the boat owner Charles towards the store selling champagne in the town.

The credibility of the voucher for 500 barrels of champagne was pretty good in this town. After visiting three stores and almost depleting the inventory, I finally managed to collect 500 barrels of champagne. Then Qiya paid for some Baileys out of his own pocket. The store's labor force transported all 500 barrels of champagne to the charter area of ​​the pier.

He himself took Anita with him and dragged Charles to a store selling weapons and exercise equipment.

Then he spent money like water and bought all kinds of exercise equipment such as sandbags, arm bars, tension machines, iron sand vests, weightlifting dumbbells and so on.

Some of these things were carried by the clerk who was in charge of the handyman ordered by the shop owner who was grinning from ear to ear, and the rest was carried by Qia Ya and Charles.

On the way back to the Charles, Qiya asked Xiao Heitan to buy a lot of breakfast. After spending more than an hour loading all the exercise equipment and 500 barrels of champagne on the ship, he had time to eat breakfast.

Seeing the entire ship being filled to the brim with wine barrels, Charles smiled bitterly and said:

"Handsome guy, your business is really difficult! You've lost money!"

Qi Ya was sitting on a wine barrel at the moment, eating a new type of long-shaped dish similar to a burger in his hand, with plenty of meat and rich sauce, and was indifferent to Charles' words.

If a businessman really loses money, he will definitely not be as amiable as he is now.

"Uncle, when are you leaving?" Qi Ya glanced outside the cabin and asked vaguely.

Charles checked the time and said firmly: "Gary and Andy should be back after purchasing supplies in half an hour. As soon as they come back, we will set off immediately. If everything goes well, we will arrive in the afternoon."

"Half an hour..." Qiya thought in his mind, glanced at Anita who was already playing with Yvette in the living room of the cabin, and then asked curiously:

"The wine making industry in Champagne Town is so prosperous, why do you want to stick to this boat chartering industry?"

"Looking at how those ship owners are so afraid of you, you or your brothers should be quite capable of fighting. It shouldn't be difficult to work in other industries where it is easier to earn Baileys, right?"

After listening to Qiya's words, Charles' face was embarrassed for a moment, and then he said truthfully:

"Our current situation can only eke out a living. If we do anything else, the price we pay may be very high."

"My father bought this boat with the money he saved for most of his life when he was old. We have been living here all these years. The situation at sea is not good, but in fact it is not much better on land."

"You may think that the Navy is as impartial and upholds justice as the rumors say."

"But we have been to many places over the years, and sometimes some senior naval officers do things that are far more dangerous and cruel than pirates."

While listening to what the other party said, Qi Ya quickly finished the breakfast in his hand without arguing. After smiling, he went to the ship deck to brush up on his proficiency.

When chatting with Charles before, his eyes stayed for a moment on the fixed barrels of champagne behind him, and an idea came to his mind -

Anyway, you can already predict that you will need a lot of wine in the future, so why not find someone to run a wine making workshop yourself?Even if it can't be sold and it can't make a profit, can't it still be produced and sold by itself?

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that he still lacked someone around him who could handle chores for him. He couldn't do everything by himself like he did now, right?

The more suitable candidates are readily available, but at this moment we don’t even know what kind of people the other party’s two younger brothers are!

Qi Ya doesn’t intend to act too hastily…

This is different from when collecting Xiao Heitan. Charles and his group are not teenagers. Their outlook, character, and interests are all factors that need to be considered.

He didn't want the bloody story between the farmer and the snake to happen to him at all.
