Due to the limited entertainment on board, the Fat Man’s Phantom Recorder was very popular among the crew. With this popularity, many crew members had the idea of ​​wanting a Phantom Recorder, because Du Nan had already bought his own Phantom Recorder. , and then many people asked Du Nan to "purchase".

The boys ate and lived on the boat, and they hadn’t had time to get off the boat to go shopping. They saved a lot of money after the trip. It’s still possible to buy a phantom recorder, and even other things.

But Brother Qing also wanted a Phantom Recorder, but he had no money.

"I'm just an apprentice now, Dad... No, the boss of the boat doesn't pay wages. It's good enough to include room and board." At my grandma's place, grandma said she would save it for me to marry a wife in the future."

Du Nan: ... Another child whose parents confiscated the New Year's money for various reasons.

For Brother Qing, when he usually gets off the boat and wants to eat and drink something outside, it’s okay to ask his father for money. In fact, he doesn’t need to ask his father for money. But it's not these little things, brother Qing is not happy to ask his father for money.

Similarly, Du Nan's proposal to lend him money was also rejected.

"I have no wages in a short period of time. How long will it take to pay it off? My mother said, you can't just ask others to borrow money. If you borrow too much, you will become lazy." Brother Qing said.

Sure enough, behind the bear child is the bear parent, and behind this non-bear child must be a pair of sensible parents—Du Nan thought to himself, and began to think about what to do.

Their discussion happened to be overheard by the fat man ← probably because Du Nan treated him best, the fat man was willing to get together with the two children when he had nothing to do recently.

He came up with an idea: "You two can do business!"

"There is a saying that 'if you want to get rich, build roads first', this road does not necessarily refer to the actual road, the road is also the road, you two have this mop car, this is the road, think about it, other people on the boat You can go to places you can’t even go to. Isn’t this the road that belongs to you? This is the road to the top!” Sitting on the floor, the fat man said to them.

Brother Qing frowned all of a sudden: "I don't understand."

But Du Nan probably guessed something.

The fat man continued: "Look, isn't it the best proof that so many people entrust you to buy things now? They have all given you the money, and the money is on you. You can..."

"No! I can't! I can't buy things with other people's money!" Before the fat man finished speaking, Brother Qing had already rejected him sternly.

Seeing that the movement on their side has already attracted the attention of the boatmen next to him, the fat man stood up with difficulty, and explained to them in a low voice: "No, no, I didn't ask you to buy things with other people's money. It really doesn't mean that..."

"But you can collect everyone's money together, lower the price with the merchant, and buy things with lower money, or tell the merchant that you buy [-] units and let him give you one...Of course, this is Higher negotiating skills are required..."

"Isn't this... an empty-handed white wolf?" Brother Qing raised his eyebrows.

"This is business!" The fat man smiled, took out his handkerchief, and touched the sweat on his face.

Brother Qing blinked, and dragged Du Nan away.

With everyone's money, the two ran around three floating islands. It happened that these three stores sold Phantom Recorders. After talking with the owners of the three stores, they finally chose the cheapest one.

The store owner offered them two plans, one was to buy 23 units and get one free, and the other was to give nothing away and lower the price a bit. At this point, Du Nan handed over the choice to Brother Qing. The prices are all negotiated by him.

Brother Qing hesitated for a while, and finally chose the second option.

Having saved the money for a phantom recorder, Brother Qing and Du Nan went back with 23 phantom recorders and 23 shadow balls.

↑

Shadow balls are provided with every Phantom Recorder. In order to let everyone watch more movies, Brother Qing specially selected 23 shadow balls with different contents.

"I still can't use everyone's money to make money. I always feel that I have taken advantage of others." Afterwards, Sitting in the Qilin car, Brother Qing said to Du Nan: "After choosing the second type, I feel very happy."

"Well, I'm happier than getting the Phantom Recorder." Qing Geer said, and smiled with relief.

"I'm probably not suitable for business, but being a crew member is suitable for me. Well, I will be a crew member in the future, and I will be the boss of the ship when I grow up!" When it comes to future career plans, Brother Qing completely forgot about the Phantom Recorder. Looking at the dragon boat that had already appeared in front of the Qilin car, he waved his little hand vigorously, and roared handsomely: "Go forward!"

Ah Qing and the others immediately sped up their speed and carried them to the dragon boat with a "swoosh".

On the contrary, the crew members were very happy. They were already prepared for heavy bleeding, but who knew that it was only a moderate bleeding. The money given out was not spent, but they got a sum back. They were so happy that they all praised the boss of the ship for his Good son, the children of Lao Du's family are also very good, and they all took out their shadow balls and lined up to show them.

Instead, Du Nan turned around and dismantled his Mirage Recorder, studied it for several days, and finally reassembled it. Some of the materials were refined by himself, and some materials were purchased from the floating islands along the way. He planned to save a Mirage Recorder by himself. Give it to Brother Qing.

However, before he finished the work, the crew secretly found him first.

"Well, you two brothers are really amazing, you saved us so much money, we will give you two things together, this is the money we pooled, you take it, brother Qing has always wanted a piece A Phantom Recorder? Can you help buy him one?"

After all, the dark-skinned boatman brother showed his big white teeth and looked at Du Nan expectantly.

Du Nan naturally agreed.

So before leaving the country, he made another trip to the store where he bought the Phantom Recorder, and bought another Phantom Recorder from the owner of that store.

Hurry up and buy it not long after the big shopping, it's cheap!

So that night, when everyone finished eating together, the boatmen took out the presents for Brother Qing.

"Brother Qing, didn't you always want the phantom recorder I gave you?" The moment a group of boatmen came out surrounded by the phantom recorder, there was a feeling of sunshine in the kitchen: "Don't refuse, this is the magic recorder. You bought it with the money you saved."

Brother Qing was startled, then jumped three feet high.

Holding his phantom recorder, Brother Qing was overjoyed, touched left, then remained silent, raised his head for a while and showed a mouthful of small white teeth.

Then the boatmen came out surrounded by another thing, lifted the veil on top, and hugged the thing, they turned to Du Nan: "This time it's for Du Nan, so what... Do you like it?"

Looking at the things they held in their arms - a finely crafted dressing table, Du Nan...spouted a mouthful of tea.

"That...although we can make the dressing table, but the handwork is not as good as the carpenter's. It's not good for making gifts, so I simply asked Brother Qing to help him go to the shop on the floating island to have a look. This is Brother Qing's vision. You If you don’t like patterns, look for him!” The boatman boy pointed to Brother Qing.

Seeing Brother Qing looking forward to his black eyes, can Du Nan say that he doesn't like it?

No.

So—"Yeah! I knew Brother Du Nan would like it. My sister likes this kind of dressing table carved with small flowers the most. It's for the elderly..." Putting his hand on his waist, Qing Geer showed a sophisticated look.

But the boatmen nodded after hearing this: "Then you can help me bring some combs later, I want this kind of carved flowers."

Although everyone is basically single, sooner or later they will chase after girls. Young girls like Xiaohua, remember!

Seeing that Brother Qing had already started to impart experience to the boatmen, and his dressing table carved with many small flowers was also placed in front of him, looking at this exquisite dressing table speechlessly, Du Nan was speechless.

Dare to ask them to ask me to ask Qing Geer again!

It's no wonder that when I sent Qing Geer away to buy a Phantom Recorder this afternoon, Qing Geer left so quickly, because he also wanted to send himself away!

Thinking about it, Du Nan smiled.

He has already begun to look forward to his family's life in the real east.

That must be a good place like Rabbit Ear Village!

The five heavenly dragons pulled the dragon boat and jumped, crossed a realm again, and they left the place where Brother Qing had his own phantom recorder.

And not long after entering the new environment, after putting down two guests again, besides Du Nan's family and Dun Yi, there was only one guest left on board, the fat man.

At this time, there is still one stop away from the real east boundary.

I don't know if it's because they are about to return to their hometown. The Tianlongs probably can't wait to return home. Du Nan obviously feels that the speed of the boat has accelerated. Dare to set up the unicorn car and go out.

The last stop - Wuliangjie stared at Tao.

When they saw the port of Wuliangjie, the captain of the ship and the boatmen breathed a sigh of relief.

Now Du Nan's family is their own people in their eyes, and the only guest on board is the fat man. After sending him away, they are all their own people on board, of course they are relieved!

Seeing that the port is getting closer and closer, the smiles on the faces of the boatmen are getting bigger and bigger. They have already begun to discuss in whispers what kind of dishes they want their grandmother to cook for them when they go home, or what snacks can be eaten by the port of Wuliangjie I ate it...

At this moment, the fat man who had been helped out with the luggage by the smiling boatmen was drenched in sweat.

Well, because he has always been prone to sweating, no one took his current appearance seriously, but Du Nan and Brother Qing were quite grateful to him, and they even waved to him.

The fat man glanced at them, that glance...was obviously different from usual, it seemed like a thousand words, as if he had something special to say.

Du Nan was taken aback.

During his moment of stupefaction, Du Nan looked at the fat man with a desperate expression, and the next second, there was a "plop", like a mountain being cut in half, or falling down like a mudslide, and he knelt down. on deck.

Knocking his head on the deck, the fat man said loudly: "Please! I don't want to disembark at this stop. The place I really want to go is the real east, please! Take me there—" Not only Du Nan's family, the boss of the boat and the boatmen were dumbfounded.

"No, the Eastern Realm is our hometown. We won't take people back casually. There is no need to talk about going to the Eastern Realm. Please disembark at this stop. If you have a destiny in the future, you can ask someone to take you to the Eastern Realm. If you want to take my boat to go there, you can't."

The boss of the boat, who always smiled, now had a serious face, ruthlessly rejecting the fat man.

The crew next to him also had the same expression. It was the first time seeing their indifferent expressions, and it was only then that Du Nan realized that it seemed extremely rare for his family to be looked at favorably by the ship's boss and others?

And the boss of the ship invited them to go to the real east!

"How did you know that our destination is the real east? We never tell people where we come from. I don't like the feeling of being prying around.

And - you have been trying to please us before, giving us food and drinks, and showing everyone a shadow ball just to get along with us and let us take you to the real east? "

The boss of the boat became more serious, and this seriousness was particularly scary.

Behind the tall ship boss stood the same tall and big crew members. They looked like a group of human-shaped giant dragons standing there. I wonder if they felt their state of mind. The giant dragon pulling the boat in front also turned around. Long Mou looked down at the fat man on the boat from the sky, staring straight at the fat man like chaff.

Without raising his head, he said tremblingly, "I'll say it! I'll say it all!"

"I am a businessman in the mortal world. Because the business is a bit big, the emperor's eyes were ransacked. The emperor said that the world would have no place for me. I really have nowhere to go. I thought of my father. My father should be from the Real East!"

It was done in one go, there was no stutter, and I had never heard of a person who could speak so fast, and everyone was stunned.

Everyone recalled it for a while, and cut off what he said just now, and only then realized what he said.

Of course, there are already a small number of people who can react, and more people are still at a loss.

For example, Brother Qing didn't understand and looked at Du Nan in confusion. He was used to asking Du Nan when he didn't understand.

Du Nan said to him: "He said that he was a businessman, and his business was too big to annoy the emperor. His house was confiscated, and the emperor wanted him to have nowhere to go. Go to the real east where father is."

"So that's how it is." After Du Nan finished speaking, he was startled by a sound of Qi Qi behind him, and turned his head away, only then did he realize that the boatmen were also listening to his explanation with their arms folded.

"How do you know that your father is from the Real East? Did he tell you?" The boat boss frowned.

Hearing that his tone was more relaxed than before, the fat man raised his head and said, "He didn't say anything."

"Then how do you know?" The knot between the boss's brows deepened.

The fat man pursed his lips, and finally whispered: "Because...because..."

Speaking of which, he was about to arrive in Hong Kong, so he gave it all up, closed his eyes and shouted: "Because he is a dragon!"

"Tianlong!"

Looking at the man, and at the five heavenly dragons condescendingly looking down on the fat man, the people on board were at a loss again.
