Chapter 138 Captain Lyme
After signing the agreement smoothly, Jiang Yubai calmly took out the blueprint from his backpack and handed it to Singer, said goodbye to Singer who looked very depressed, and took Ryan away who was a little dazed. .

Ryan hesitated and asked the doubts in his heart: "Nanshi, why do you have the steamboat blueprint?"

"It's a long story, but it's just what you see." Jiang Yubai changed the subject with a smile, "By the way, I was just about to ask you about the hired labor for the construction of this steamship. I would like to ask some NPCs to help To build a steamboat, you don’t know many people in Monte Fishing Village, so the price doesn’t matter.”

Ryan rubbed his head and recalled: "We used to be sailors who helped build the ship together, but... I don't know if they are willing to help. How about this, I will take you to our captain to discuss it?"

"That would be the best." Jiang Yubai nodded happily, and walked behind Ryan.

The captain's house that Ryan mentioned happened to be in the middle of the fishing village, and the two of them only walked a short distance.

Captain Lyme is an amiable old man, because the deep wrinkles on his face are full of vicissitudes because he has been blown by the sea wind, but his body is still healthy, and he has the unique boldness and enthusiasm of people who have been wandering at sea all year round.

When Jiang Yubai smiled and talked about various matters about the steamship, Captain Lyme smiled kindly after pondering for a moment, with a helpless look on his face: "It's not that we don't want to help you, it's just that everyone has work to do I'm afraid it's going to be called all at once to make a ship..."

"Captain, aren't you interested in this new type of steamship?" Jiang Yubai hooked the corners of his lips. It saves a lot of manpower. If all the manpower is used for fishing, then I believe that the seafood production in Monte Fishing Village will be greatly increased."

Captain Lyme was stunned as expected: "Really?" His voice rose several times, and he even couldn't believe it.

Jiang Yubai's tone was extremely sincere: "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Singer, he should be most familiar with this. If all the boats in the Monte Fishing Village are transformed into this steam type in the future, only one person is needed to operate and control the boats. It is enough and will greatly ease the crew's job."

Captain Lyme was immediately excited when he heard this, and even his lips trembled a little: "That's great. Originally, our village was a little short of manpower, and it is already the limit to maintain a few fishing boats. I complain about the lack of labor at home. If there is a steamship, all problems will be solved!" The captain said, his long and messy beard trembled, and his old face was flushed with excitement.

"Then can the captain help me with this? If the first steamboat is successfully tested by me, all the fishing boats in the village can be remodeled. Please help me build the boat and I will pay for it."

"No problem, no problem! Leave the shipbuilding to me!" The old captain laughed generously, then hesitated for a while, "As for the gold coins... I don't know how many gold coins I need."

Jiang Yubai tilted his head slightly, thought for a while and said: "Well, we can sign an agreement, and I will give you three hundred gold coins as a deposit first. But I will leave Monte Fishing Village for a while soon, if it is not enough, wait I'll pay when I get back, okay?"

Captain Lime and Ryan on the side were obviously taken aback: "Three hundred gold coins? Generally speaking, a wooden boat can be built with seventy or eighty gold coins. How could it be possible to use three hundred gold coins!"

"However, a steamship cannot be made of wood, especially its most important part - the main body of the steam engine must be made of a relatively hard material, otherwise it will easily go wrong after a long voyage." Jiang Yubai thought for a while , and asked slightly seriously, "I hope the captain will pay more attention to this. I believe Mr. Singer will also realize this."

Captain Lyme suddenly realized, and readily agreed: "So that's the case, no problem!"

She almost wrote the agreement to the point where practice makes perfect, it is nothing more than these few necessary conditions.However, Jiang Yubai did not clearly write where and what details the three hundred gold coins would need to be spent on. He just indicated that Singer would design the blueprint of the steamship, and that Captain Lyme would be solely responsible for its construction.

Ding!Are you sure you agree to sign the agreement "Steamboat Construction" with NPC Captain Lyme?
"Yes."

Ding!After the agreement is signed, it will take effect immediately.

After both parties confirmed the agreement, Jiang Yubai raised a happy smile, took out [-] gold coins and put them in a cloth bag and handed them to Captain Lime.Although this agreement seems to have no binding force, it is just a dead letter, but she is not worried that Captain Lyme will do something like hiding it. This small fishing village is a place like a paradise, and she has not been here until now. Have you seen any deceitful NPCs.No matter how you look at it, Captain Lyme is a simple and enthusiastic kind NPC, which can be seen from every detail of his words and deeds.Regarding his vision, Jiang Yubai was still very relieved.

What's more, Ryan was watching from the sidelines.For a passionate young man with a strong sense of justice like him, if Captain Lime's petty tricks were accidentally discovered by him, he would not sit idly by no matter what.And Singer, no matter what, he is also an important figure in this fishing village. As the only engineering shipbuilder, or a shipbuilder who is good friends with Jiang Yubai and is about to learn a new type of steamboat, no matter which NPC he is, he will give a few Save face, and by the way, the construction of her steamship will be much smoother.

Regarding the purchase of seafood and fruits, Jiang Yubai has already asked the captain carefully.In fact, this is not difficult.In the north of Monte Fishing Village, there is a small town called Shimmer. Although it occupies a small area, it is considered a transportation hub connecting the inland and the coast, so there is a lot of people coming and going.Most importantly, there are very rich supplies and a small market.

This is Jiang Yubai's goal.In the Shimmer City market, equipment is relatively rare, and more of it is the seafood consumables she needs now. Compared with Shimmer City, it is close to several small fishing villages along the coast, and there are few villagers in the fishing villages, so it is impossible to consume them. For a huge variety of seafood, it took half a day to go to the Shimmer City Market to sell these things, and of course the profits were very considerable.

　It is estimated that it will be on the shelves on the 25th... OMZ is always an unavoidable thing.

　　Although I know and learn that some girls or Chinese papers will not read the text anymore, this is a sad thing, but I still hope to support it! ~
