Yang Fan quickly asked someone to put a small folding plastic table and a few folding chairs in the cab.
Invite Zhang Wudian and his family for supper. The wheelhouse is the highest and most spacious place on the entire ship.
A full eighteen square meters. In front are three side windows and the driving position. In the back there is a table laid out with maps and hydrographs.
There are also some open spaces. Exiting the two rearward doors on the left and right of the cab, there is a platform at the back, with a six-barreled 30mm caliber heavy Gatling cannon installed on the left and right sides of it.
The reason for choosing such a large-caliber heavy machine gun. The main reason is that this weapon has a long range, and it can also use shotguns to hit cavalry groups.
There is still space reserved on the platform, and it is also possible to install four light machine guns. But there was no pretense this time. After all, it was just a trial voyage.
Huang Hao personally served the dishes and arranged the bowls quickly. He is currently the chief officer of Army Aviation, and the master is here, so he naturally wants to come and serve him.
The captain is a young man in his early twenties, who is also a servant. At this time, he was observing the channel with the telescope hanging on his chest.
The other hand held the steering wheel. He kept issuing orders into the row of microphones in front of him. Zhang Fengyi looked at him with envy, she really wanted to be a captain.
He looked so majestic and tall. The uniform is also good-looking, and he looks as energetic as a little lunatic when he wears it.
Yang Fan asked Zhang Wudian to take a seat, but Zhang Wudian refused. The two negotiated for a while.
"You are the master. Guests can do as they please. It is not appropriate for me to take the host seat."
"You are a senior. There is no reason for a junior to sit in front of you." In the end, Zhang Wudian sat in the first place.
After all, Zhang Wudian's official rank and qualifications were not comparable to Yang Fan's. Moreover, he is two generations higher than Yang Fan.
Yang Fan is actually of the same generation as Zhang Fengyi.
"The conditions on the ship were so primitive that it made Mr. Zhang laugh." Yang Fan said humbly. Looking at six hot dishes, four cold dishes, and a pot of ginkgo pork belly soup.
The rice is also a large bowl of crystal clear Japonica rice. In this day and age, this is pretty good as a late night snack.
Zhang Fengyi was drooling when she saw it. The Zhang family has strict rules and always pays attention to frugality. If it is not the New Year or the festival, the landlord's family will not be able to eat meat.
The last time I celebrated my mother’s birthday during the Spring Festival, I had braised pork. Usually, if pigs are not killed, there will be no pork to eat in the countryside.
"Where, where, this is my first time eating such a sumptuous midnight snack." Zhang Wudian said with a smile.
In this era, there are strict rules when it comes to eating, and you won’t eat after the time has passed. The late-night snack is not considered a formal meal, and there are not many rules, but it is just a bowl of Chaos or something.
The six hot dishes are stir-fried shredded potatoes, shredded pepper pork, kung pao chicken, griddle cauliflower, vinegar braised cabbage, and abalone steamed egg.
The abalone is soaked dry abalone and steamed with eggs. The abalone juice flows onto the eggs, which is very delicious.
The four cold cuts were thinly sliced beef in sauce. Vegetable platter. Blanched chicken and fried canned sea fish.
Zhang Fengyi looked dazzled and couldn't help but want to play fast. Huo glared at her before she took back the fast.
There are many rules in this era. The old man and Uncle Dingyuan didn't touch the tachyon, so how could anyone else do it first? No big or small.
"Mr. Zhang, there are red wine here, as well as Shanxi Fenjiu wine and fifteen-year-old Huaying wine. Which one do you like?" Zhang Wudian was a generous man and ordered the wine directly without being polite.
After all, in this era, wine either comes from overseas or from the Western Regions, which is relatively rare. Yang Fan then said to Mr. Huo: "Can Mrs. Zhang and your daughter drink? If not, there are sour plum soup and other drinks here."
"Brother Yang, my mother knows how to drink. She has a good capacity for drinking. Just serve all the wine you have." Zhang Fengyi rushed to say.
Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Fengyi seemed to be a drinker at first glance, so she was probably under strict control at home. I don’t usually have the opportunity to steal wine.
Just like Xiao Niangpi, I was afraid that she would cause trouble if she drank too much, so I hid all the wine. She was very unhappy.
Mrs. Huo was a little embarrassed and said quickly: "My little girl is usually a disciplinarian. Don't blame Dingyuan Bo."
"My dear wife, there is nothing wrong with your innocent heart. Huang Hao, bring up all the drinks and drinks." Yang Fan said with a smile.
Many of the ingredients for these dishes were not available in the Ming Dynasty at this time, or had not been promoted to the north. Yang Fan introduced everyone in the Zhang family.
Zhang Fengyi was so happy that she hadn't eaten and drank so freely for a long time. Moreover, there is a lot of meat on the table.
Although she came from a wealthy family, her grandfather was diligent and thrifty in running the family and never allowed his children to be frivolous. The cousins of the Zhang family all live a simple life, and usually eat mostly vegetarian meals. Only on the first and fifteenth day of the month, various festivals, and birthdays of elders can they eat meat and drink wine.
After Zhang Fengyi opened the banquet, she immersed herself in the meal without raising her head or opening her eyes. Yang Fan's appetite was whetted by the sight.
The desert is really lonely and the smoke is straight. It can't be too late to start cooking. Yang Fan mainly drank and chatted with Zhang Wudian, and most of the food on the table went into Zhang Fengyi's stomach.
Yang Fan was also surprised that this girl could really eat, she was a big eater. This girl is a good drinker at first sight and drinks seven or eight kinds of alcoholic drinks.
The little face became redder and redder as he drank. Huo was so angry that she stepped on her daughter's feet under the table to no avail. Yang Fan was amused, but he was afraid of Mrs. Zhang's embarrassment, so his face felt sour.
After dinner, Yang Fan arranged for the Zhang family to stay in the captain's cabin and the VIP cabin. The two rooms there were the best on the ship.
Huang Hao and others were driven to sleep in hammocks. Yang Fan didn't dare to let Zhang Wudian sleep in the hammock. If that thing fell down in the middle of the night, he wouldn't be able to do anything good.
Besides, it was inconvenient for women to register, so the captain's room was directly requisitioned for Huo and his daughter to live in. Let Zhang Wudian stay in the VIP room.
He set up a camp bed in the cab and slept in the back of the cab. It’s easy to take command at any time if necessary.
Mrs. Huo was very angry. As soon as she entered the captain's room, she picked up Zhang Fengyi's ears and scolded: "Damn girl, are you a starving ghost? Why don't you eat so much? I'll embarrass you." It’s over.”
"Ouch! Mother, please let go, it hurts." Zhang Fengyi begged for mercy.
"Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time. The last time was during the Chinese New Year. I just couldn't bear it anymore."
"Hmph! You still drink so much. If you get drunk, you will be embarrassed. You are a girl who likes to wield knives and guns all day long. If you are so good at drinking, no one will marry you in the future."
"Hasn't my daughter been promised to the Ma family since she was a child? Why are she afraid that no one will want her?" Zhang Fengyi said sternly.
Madam Huo tapped her forehead with her hand and told her to wash up and rest. Yang Fan slept until midnight when he suddenly heard a noise in the cab.
Originally, when sailing at night, the lights were turned off and the lights were on. Only the weakest lanterns remain illuminated. At this time, it was all brightened up.
And there were gunshots during the night. Bang bang bang! The gunfire was dull and loud. At first glance, it sounds like it is not the equipment of Yang Fan's system.
This is the sound of a heavy European matchlock gun. Yang Fan, who had been sleeping with his clothes on, suddenly sat up.
Put on your coat and walk towards the bridge. At this time, the searchlights were also lit. The one meter diameter carbide lamp searchlight is like the two eyes of a monster.
Sweeping from both sides of the ship. The upper reaches of the Yellow River are only less than 100 meters wide. The ship is in the middle, and the searchlight can shine very far.
A group of cavalrymen were caught by searchlights, and the sailors immediately shined both lights in that direction.
