Take the seafood sent to me by the uncle of the compatriots, the foot on the soft beach is really beautiful, in fact, if the crew has any good things abroad will be placed in the cold storage, wait until the right port or ship in the domestic port and then express home, originally I also planned to keep these seafood to take home, just returned to the ship was seen by everyone, although no one took the initiative to eat, but in order to maintain the relationship, I decided to simply take it out to let the chef do it, it is also an improvement in food. The chef was particularly enthusiastic to suggest to me, "This is your personal belonging, put it in the cold storage and mail it home, no one will say anything." I smiled and replied, "It's all right, brother, you just make it for everyone to eat!" When I have the opportunity, I will go down and buy a little, after all, it has been such a long time, and everyone has not had the opportunity to eat seafood"! During the meal, the chef deliberately helped me publicize "these are three pairs of seafood for everyone to eat", looking at everyone's thank you, my heart is still very warm!
Since the ship had not been loaded, there were basically no one on board the ship except for the sailors on duty at the port entrance, who either chose to go to the ground to rest or choose to go to the beach near the port to call their families. After dinner, I came to the port entrance and watched the sailors keep looking at the beach not far away, and I quickly asked him, "What's wrong?" Want to go down and feel it"? He nodded sheepishly and said, "I'm still seeing the beach for the first time," and I immediately replied, "You go!" I'll be on duty for you." The sailor said excitedly, "Really? Three brothers"! I replied very firmly, "You can go with confidence, I have already played in the field, I have worked from the position of sailor, and I will also adjust the cables"! So I stood at the mouth of the gangway, listening to the sound of the waves not far away, and occasionally there was a sound of seagulls chirping, a gust of sea breeze blowing, especially pleasant, the faint smell of water was particularly good at the moment, I sat on the cable stake and looked in the direction of home, my mind was blank. Suddenly I think that living in Tanzania is actually quite good, the pace of life is slow, the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and one day after I retire, I must rent a villa here for a few years.
Just when I was in deep thought, the waiter ran to me and said to me very seriously, "Brother, where did you get the seafood?" I also want to buy a little, my parents have not eaten seafood yet, I am ready to buy a little and wait for the next time I come home by port courier." I smiled and replied, "I didn't buy it, I sent it from a sibling uncle"! The intern said with malicious intentions, "You said I want to go again, will he also send me some", I quickly smiled and replied, "Can we be a little bit out of the way, it is not easy to do business"! Then I said, "Wait a minute, the sailors will come back, and I'll accompany you to the town to buy some"! He nodded excitedly, and the two of us chatted endlessly at the port entrance. What happens next? I'll go on.
Everyone on this ship is more sensible, perhaps because I am three pairs and do not experience the deception between sailors. The sailor on duty went down an hour and then returned to work, and I asked him strangely "how did he come back so quickly"! He smiled broadly and said, "I'll go take some pictures, and I'll send them to my wife when I'm done, and I'll be back when I'm done"! After listening to this sentence, the intern quickly laughed at herself, "Originally I also wanted to take some photos and send them to my girlfriend, but my girlfriend has already run away with others, I can't blame me, she herself is not blessed to appreciate these beautiful views"! The waiter's words made everyone laugh, and I quickly pushed him and said, "Let's go!" Don't be sarcastic, do your thing"! So the big night we both went down to the ground together. The silent night sky, the occasional whistle broke through the night sky, and the two of us talked and laughed and came to a nearby town.
In fact, the port town of Tanzania is not as lively at night as the domestic night market, but you can also see the sparse locals. Although the lights here are not as bright and dazzling as in China, under the yellowing dim light, under the influence of the gusts of sea breeze, the coconut trees sway left and right, and the shadows of the trees are reflected on the road, which has a special taste. There were few cars on the road, and occasionally a truck was parked in front of fishermen's homes to transport the day's catch. It is precisely because this is a small town that fishes for a living that it is so busy at night. The intern asked me curiously, "At this time, there can be no fishermen who can go out of the stalls, where do we go to buy them?" In fact, I didn't know where to buy it, but I firmly believed that as long as I gave money, any fisherman would sell us some. So we were walking aimlessly, and suddenly saw a truck parked in front of a fisherman's house, as if carrying seafood, I quickly pulled the little brother and said, "Go, let's go and ask"!
Because there are often compatriots here to collect seafood, seeing the two of us come over, a local man is still particularly enthusiastic, although the native language of Tanzania is Swahili, but many people here speak English, I directly asked "Do you sell seafood"? Only to see the man nodding and saying "can be sold"! Then he was particularly surprised and asked, "What about your car?" I quickly explained that "we just need a little bit, just carry it by hand"! At this moment, the man reacted and smiled and signaled us both to enter the courtyard. I saw that there was a dilapidated hull inside, and the fish and shrimp were in this cabin, and I turned to the intern and said, "What do you think you need?" Pick some"! I saw that the intern had been looking at the three women in the courtyard, and I slapped it and said, "You still can't buy seafood!"! The intern came back to me, crouching down to pick and ask me, "Brother, that black man just now won't have three wives!" I replied angrily, "How do I know, what are you here for?" Respect the culture of others"! Who knew that this little brother looked at me with a smile and turned to ask the man who had just arrived.
I didn't expect him to be so childish. I could only silently help him choose, and after he ran over, he excitedly said to me, "Brother, it's really his wife, they can marry four here"! His expression was angry and funny, I was particularly speechless, seeing that I did not speak, he also obediently squatted down to pick seafood. What happens next? I'll go on.
After picking some at random, without asking the price, we paid directly, and when we left, the black brother deliberately ran out and gave us some. I have to admit that "in this part of Africa, Chinese is still particularly popular"! When things were done, we were ready to return to the ship, and along the way the intern brother said a lot, only to hear him suddenly say "The men here are so happy, so envious of them"! I smiled and said, "Or, you come here to live"! With a serious expression on his face, he said", "If I could, I really would"! Then he said, "Brother, how do you say they sleep at night?" How do they get along with each other? What do they call each other? Is it the eldest sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law"! I had to admire her ability to think, and finally I laughed at myself. I helplessly took out a cigarette and lit it for him and said, "Smoke two quickly, calm down, I'm afraid you'll go crazy"!
In the chatter of the little apprentice brother, we returned to the ship, just arrived at the port entrance, and the sailor on duty told me that "we have a new crew member on the ship, who must also be Indian, and is quite old, but the registered position is an intern"! I immediately felt that the little brother's opportunity had come, but at the moment, the little brother only wanted to put the seafood in his hand into the cold storage quickly. After I repeatedly confirmed that the crew member who came up was indeed an intern, so I quickly ran to the intern's room and said, "Brother, there is good news for you", and he asked me curiously, "What's wrong?"? I asked him "do you want to go to the deck to work, not the waiter"! He replied with a surprised face, "Of course I want to, I want to dream"! I said "then you have to apply to the captain, a new intern, you apply to go to the deck and let him stay in the kitchen as a waiter"! The intern excitedly said "Okay, I'll go and say it to the captain now"! I immediately stopped him and said, "Are you going to go empty-handed?" Are you sure the captain will say yes? It's about your promotion, so don't think about how to say it?" The little brother said in disbelief, "Is it so complicated?"? I immediately replied, "What do you think?" Still too young"!
So the two of us discussed in the room, and I suggested that he carry the seafood he had just made, after all, there was a refrigerator in the captain's room, and another five hundred dollars in cash. Looking at the little brother who was a little reluctant, I hurriedly comforted and said, "It's all like this, I don't want the children to set the wolf, and when you are successfully promoted, you will earn it back in a month." So I taught him how to go to the place again, and soon the intern came back from the captain's room and said to me with a smile, "The captain left the seafood, but the money was not collected"! I immediately assured him confidently, "Sleep well tonight, and tomorrow you can go to the deck to be on duty, because I know the captain too well, and since I have received your things, I will definitely give you things"! Sure enough, the next day, the little brother said to me with great interest, "I finally got rid of the kitchen", and saw him holding his overalls and taking the work shoes with a happy expression, and I was also happy for him from the bottom of my heart.
