Chapter 149

You can't use it here. If you want to go to the United States, you have to go through the customs.

In this era, it takes almost the same amount of effort to make a fake identity as it does to make a real one.

"I just swam to your island. I thought it was a no man's Island... So as an apology for not being invited, I invite you to eat in Honolulu."

Su Ming stood up and said to bird, his eyes fell on the small cargo ship.

"Ha ha, although you don't need to make an apology, you can eat something good in the city. If you really swim a short time, praise God, your physical quality is very good."

While he was a navy, he could not swim as far as dozens of nautical miles when he was young.

The nearest manned island from here is at least that distance.

But he didn't ask much. The world is so big, and all kinds of strange people are everywhere. He has seen people who eat stones in Africa, and people who can not eat for years in India.

Now it's just another swimmer.

"Maybe it's because I exercise a lot? Ha ha. "

"Just a moment. When we ship pineapples and fish, we'll go to Honolulu. Originally, I asked the housekeeper to sell these things in Maui, but today I'll try my luck in other islands."

Burd nodded and began to pack up his fishing gear. He didn't care about the small money of these agricultural products. He just stayed idle on the island and planted some pineapples to let them die.

The climate is good and the rain is abundant, so the pineapple yield is OK. Although it still can't cover the expenses, it is still an income.

Su Ming didn't see his pineapple field, but if he only had this person on the island, it would not be so large. The island is still under the control of wild animals. Occasionally, monkey calls can be heard from afar.

After chatting casually, Su Ming asked for a piece of canvas from him and returned to the jungle with his armor and weapons.

The armor of the statue looks like a shark proof suit with lock armor, which is easy to explain. However, the night sword and Shenjin 47 are wrapped together by him, and they are deliberately twisted like a surfboard. This thing does not appear abrupt on any island.

Su Ming took his family with him, and then followed him on the boat. Burd asked the housekeeper to give him a colorful short sleeve shirt to wear, as well as shorts and slippers. After all, he needed to be decent to enter the city.

Although it's not London here, it's not good to be barehanded in the city. As an English gentleman, how can you let people around you like this?

The shirt has a red background and is full of coconut tree patterns. This is popular in Hawaii, and Su Ming does as the Romans do.

The boat, as I saw before, is the simplest kind of fishing boat. It doesn't even have a warehouse. A few baskets of pineapples and other specialties are directly piled on the deck.

They were followed by a housekeeper and two workmen, which had already made the boat seem full.

The housekeeper was in charge of sailing, and the workers were not free on board. They had to fill the stove with coal, and sweat was pouring down their brown skin.

But it's already a good job for the islanders, making more money for the British.

After getting on the boat, Burd insisted on standing behind the housekeeper, directing him to drive, and giving instructions from time to time.

"Left full rudder."

"Two cars in four."

"Set it."

Su Ming's face twitched. It's not uncommon for the housekeeper to understand these naval terms, but how to implement them is also a problem.

The so-called double car into four, refers to two propellers at the same time in four gear forward.

But this is the most rudimentary boat. It only has a propeller and a small boiler, and there is no gear. If you fill coal faster, you can run faster.

The fourth gear of the destroyer in World War I is the highest speed. The speed is about 25 knots, which can be converted into kilometers of 46 kilometers per hour. However, at the current speed of the boat, even the workers can't get into four.

However, not to mention his reminiscence of the past and the housekeeper's decent response...

Su Ming turned his eyes to the sea. Many sea birds were flying in the sky, and they followed the ships in order to find some ready-made food sometimes.

But the boat let them down, pineapple is not the main food of birds, they want small fish and shrimp, and these things are hidden under the pineapple workers.

Soon they spread.

Su Ming smiles faintly, he feels a kind of calm, just like this piece of sea, manwei is also a real, vast world.

When I get to Honolulu, I will find a place to sell the gold and then take a few days off to do business. I have been so nervous that I have to take a vacation.

It is said that it will be a while. To be exact, it has been four hours since we arrived.Su Ming also had some admiration for Burd. He had lost a leg and stood steadily for four hours on the undulating thin deck. The voice of giving orders was as loud as when he was sailing.

That's what it's like to be a seaman by nature.

Two strong men seem to be used to his performance. They are tethering the boat to the dock, preparing to unload and hire a car to sell.

Now that the sun was in the middle of the sky, and it was just time for dinner, Burd took out a small pile of pounds and sent the housekeeper and the workers to solve the problem themselves, and he went to Su Ming's side.

"Well, Slade, I don't care about anything else. Let's go to dinner now."

Su Ming has no cash in hand, only some gold jewelry can be sold, so the first thing is to find a place to sell these things.

I'm a newcomer. I don't have any information and channels. Banks and other formal institutions collect gold but don't accept jewelry. However, there is a place where you can get a slightly higher price for selling jewelry, and you don't need any identification.

That's pawnshop.

There are a lot of Chinese in Hawaii. Many people came to this group of islands in the 18th century, and the Qing Dynasty used to have diplomatic envoys here.

Of course, the Qing Dynasty died in 1912, and few of the Chinese living here returned.

But this has nothing to do with Su Ming. He just wants to find a pawnbroker. Although pawn business is not the only business of Chinese, it can't be denied that they asked the least things in this period.

This is the rule of the trade. Su Ming likes it.

The earliest Chinese who came here were businessmen, because Hawaii was rich in sandalwood, which could be sold at a high price in China. At that time, there was no tax on businessmen in Hawaii, and the profit was more than 40%, which made many businessmen go back and forth here.

They also gave Honolulu a nickname, which is still the name of Honolulu in the Chinese dynasty, called Honolulu.

Besides, there must be pawnshops around the busy docks. There are always sailors who can't make ends meet, but they want strong liquor and women to vent their fatigue caused by the sea. Pawnshops can help them turn around.

When the captain or boss has sold the goods and settled the wages, they can redeem their mortgage.

The port of Honolulu is much more lively than the private wharf of Burd. However, at a glance, there are at least dozens of large cargo ships flying national flags, and thousands of wharf workers are busy carrying goods back and forth.

Su Ming is already looking at the buildings on the bank. Some shops are directly hung with the Chinese color flag of "wine". The architectural style is somewhat like an old house in China, and soon he found one with the word "Dang".

"Just a moment. I'll go to the bank."

Su Ming said to bold.

It has to be said that most foreigners have solid eyes. If they say so in the Chinese dynasty, the other party will surely answer, "Oh, why do you want to get money? I'll take this one. Walk around and pick it up later. "

But Burd just nodded with a smile, indicating that Su Ming would go back quickly. He was waiting for him on the dock.

This makes Su Ming want to buy some oranges for him.
