Chapter 148: Honolulu


Let's get money and identity first, you don't need it here, but if you want to go to the mainland of the United States, you must go through customs.

In this era, it takes about the same amount of effort to get a fake identity as it takes to get a real identity, so just register it for real.

"I just swam to your island, I thought it was an uninhabited island, so as an uninvited apology, I invited you to Honolulu for dinner."

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

"Hehe, although you don't have to apologize, it's okay to go to the city to eat something good, anyway, you really swam a little close, praise God, your physical fitness is really good."

Bird happily agreed, and at the same time showed envy, although he was a navy, he could not swim dozens of nautical miles in the sea when he was young.

The nearest inhabited island is at least that distance.

But he didn't ask much, the world is so big, all kinds of strange people are everywhere, he has seen people who eat stones in Africa, and he has also seen people in India who can go without food for several years.

Now it's just another good swimmer.

"Maybe it's because I exercise regularly?

Ha ha. ” "Wait a minute, when the pineapples and fish are loaded on the ship, we will go to Honolulu, originally I asked the housekeeper to sell these things in the closer Maui, but today I will try my luck on other islands."

Bird nodded, and began to pack up his fishing gear, he didn't really care about the small amount of money for these agricultural products, but he was idle on the island, planting some pineapples to let them die on their own.

The climate here is good, and the rain is abundant, so the pineapple production is okay, although it still can't make up for the various expenses spent, but it is still an input.

Su Ming didn't see his pineapple field, but if he only had the few people on the island, it wouldn't be that big, the island was still a world of wild animals, and occasionally the sound of monkeys could be heard from afar.

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

The icon armor looks like a chain mail shark suit, which is easy to explain, and the Night Greatsword and Shenjin 47 are wrapped together by him, deliberately wrapped like a surfboard, this thing does not appear abrupt on any island.

Su Ming brought all his family with him, and then followed Bird on the boat, and Bird asked the butler to give him a colorful short-sleeved shirt to wear, as well as big shorts and slippers, after all, if you want to enter the city, you need to be decent.

Although this is not London, it is not good to hang around the city bare-chested, as a British gentleman, how can you let the people around you be like this?

The shirt is a red base with a coconut tree pattern printed on it, which is popular in Hawaii, and Su Ming has also become a local custom.

The boat, like the one I saw before, was the simplest kind of fishing boat, not even a cargo hold, and a few baskets of pineapples and other specialties were piled directly on the deck.

They were followed by a steward and two workers, which already made the ship seem full.

The stewards were in charge of running the boat, and the workers had to fill the furnaces with coal, sweat running down their brown skin.

However, this is already a good job for the natives of the islands, and they make a lot of money working for the British.

And after boarding the boat, Bird insisted on standing behind the butler, directing him to steer, and giving orders from time to time.

"Left full rudder."

"Two cars into four."

"Settle."

Su Ming's face couldn't help but twitch, it was not unusual for these naval terminology housekeepers to understand, but how to implement it was also a problem.

The so-called two-car into four refers to two propellers hanging in fourth gear at the same time.

But this is the most rudimentary boat, just a propeller and a small boiler, and there is no gear, and the faster it fills coal, the faster it runs.

The fourth gear of the destroyer of World War I is the highest speed, the speed is about 25 knots, which is about 46 kilometers per hour when converted into kilometers, but at the current speed of this small ship, even if the workers are exhausted, it will not be able to enter the fourth.

But not to mention his reminiscence of the past, and the butler's decent response Su Ming turned his gaze to the surface of the sea, where many seabirds were flying in the sky, following the boats in the hope of finding some ready-made food sometimes.

But the boat disappointed them, pineapples are not a staple food for birds, they want small fish and shrimp, and these things are hidden by the workers in pineapples Soon they dispersed.

Su Ming smiled faintly, he felt a kind of calm, just like this sea, Marvel is also a real, vast world.

Wait a while to get to Honolulu, find a place to sell the gold, and then rest for a few days before going to business, my nerves have been too tense and I have to take a vacation.

It was said that it would be a while, but it was already four hours after arriving to be exact.

Su Ming also admired Boulder a little, missing a leg, and still stood steadily on the thin deck up and down for four hours, and the voice of giving orders was still as loud as when he set sail.

That's what you were born to be a seafarer.

Two strong men seemed accustomed to his behavior, securing the boat to the dock with a cable while preparing to unload the cargo and hire a car to sell it.

Now that the sun was in the middle of the sky, and it was just time to eat, Bird took out a small stack of pounds and sent the housekeeper and the workers to solve the problem themselves, and he walked to Su Ming's side.

"Alright, Slade, I don't have to worry about anything else, let's eat now."

Su Ming didn't have any cash in his hands, only some gold jewelry that could be sold, so the first thing he did was to find a place to sell these things.

When I first arrived, there was no information and channels, and formal institutions such as banks accepted gold but not jewelry, but there was a place where it was possible to sell jewelry for a slightly higher price, and no identification was required.

That's the pawnshop.

Hawaii is home to many Chinese, many of whom came to work on the islands in the 18th century, and the Qing Dynasty once had envoys here.

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

However, this has nothing to do with Su Ming, he is just looking for a pawnshop, and although the pawn business is not the unique business of the Chinese, it is undeniable that they ask the least during this period.

Recognize the ticket and don't recognize the person, recognize the goods without reason, don't ask the origin of the item, don't ask the owner where the owner goes, this is the rule of this industry, Su Ming likes this rule.

The first Chinese to come here were merchants, because Hawaii is rich in sandalwood, which can be sold at a high price in the country, and Hawaii did not charge taxes on merchants at that time, and the profit was more than 40, so that many merchants came and went here.

It was also they who gave Honolulu an alias, and it is still the name of the Celestial Empire, called Honolulu.

And there must be pawnshops around the bustling docks, and there are always sailors who don't have enough money, but want spirits and women to vent the fatigue of the sea, and pawnshops can help them turnover.

When the captain or boss sells the goods and settles the wages, they can redeem their collateral.

Honolulu's port is much more lively than Boulder's private docks, with at least dozens of large freighters flying flags and thousands of dock workers busy moving goods back and forth.

Su Ming was already looking at the buildings on the shore, some of the shops were directly hung with Chinese colored flags of wine, and the architectural style was a bit like an old house in China, and soon he also found the words "dang".

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the bank."

Su Ming said to Bird.

I have to say that most foreigners are solid-eyed, if they say so in the Celestial Empire, the other party will definitely answer: "Oops, why do you have to withdraw money?"

I'll ask for this meal, let's go, and I'll get it again. ” And Bird just smiled and nodded at this time, signaling Su Ming to go and come back quickly, and he was waiting for him on the dock.

This made Su Ming want to buy a few oranges for him along the way.
