Lisko’s American Life

343. Landing (seeking a monthly ticket)

Seeing the land getting closer and closer, Payne yelled excitedly, completely unaware that in the eyes of the sailors on the ship, he looked like a crazy man with messy hair.

But he thought he wouldn't care if he knew it. He was drifting on the sea for a week, and all he saw was blue water every day. Life was calm and waveless, which made him, who was originally calm, go crazy.

Coupled with the fact that his seasickness has never recovered, and he has been dragging his weak body to persevere, Payne sometimes thinks that if the voyage lasts longer, he may really die on the boat.

Today I can say goodbye to the sea completely, and I can stop the ship and dock. As long as I contact the agreed transportation company to transport the container on the freighter to the castle, this task will be successfully completed.

So since early in the morning, Payne has been extraordinarily excited, finally being able to bid farewell to this damn mission, Payne complained to himself more than once, why he had to be brave and insisted on following the freighter on the sea.

Looking at the port that he could already see, he yelled uncontrollably to vent his anger.

"Payne, we are arriving soon, you should go wash up."

Charles couldn't see it, and reminded Payne aloud.

As a qualified British butler, Payne's instincts returned to his body at this time, and he looked at himself in the mirror. The messy hairstyle and crazy beard in the mirror made him break away from his original politeness. The image of a man whose hair is always well-groomed.

He hastily walked into the washroom of the cabin and sorted out his image.

When he walked out again, he had returned to his appearance before he boarded the ship, but what impressed the sailors the most was the weeping and seasick rookie.

"Buzz."

With a violent impact, the freighter stopped firmly on the shore, and the sailors tied the ropes and ran under the ship in a swarm.

Payne stood on the bottom floor of the cabin stairs, and first stepped on the ground tentatively.

Solid, heavy, this long-lost feeling made him feel the urge to burst into tears.

Then he stepped on the other foot, firmly, he squatted down, picked up a piece of soil from the ground, put it on his nose and smelled it, the fresh earthy smell, a feeling after the rain , he has never found this taste so fascinating.

Charles and Yu Qing held their arms, stood on the bank and looked at Payne with a smile.

This kind of rookie behavior reminded them of the feeling of taking a boat for the first time, and it was the same.

But breathing the long-lost air, and the busy transport companies on the pier, the two of them had a sense of reality that they had really escaped from that nightmare country.

"Hey, is this Mr. Penn?"

A man wearing a yellow vest with silver and white bright stripes and a safety helmet held the receipt in his hand, carefully checked the number of the ship in front of him, and then asked Charles.

"over there."

Charles pointed to the stupid man opposite him, indicating that he had found the wrong person.

"Mr Payne."

Although Payne's behavior is a bit strange, the workers are not in the mood to find out what he is doing. For him, the most important thing is to complete his work as soon as possible.

"Yes, I am."

Payne reluctantly threw away the soil he was holding in his hand, arranged his clothes, and then answered calmly.

"We are from Kaiser Transportation Company. May I ask if you want to transport things to Colorado, which you ordered in advance."

"Yes, that's right, it's us, let's get to work."

When the worker got the answer, he waved his big hand back, the door crane moved forward slowly, and soon began to extend his arms, then firmly hooked the container, slowly rose, moved to the shore, and parked on the transport vehicle.

The whole process seems to be smooth and smooth. For a transportation company that transfers thousands of containers every day, the business of this ship is a small mosquito leg.

The driver stepped forward to close up all the joints to avoid scattering on the road. If the container fell off at high speed, it would be a disaster.

And Payne didn't continue to think about it anymore. This time is still more important for work. He took his briefcase, found the relevant staff at the dock, and showed the documents he had prepared a long time ago. The container cargo didn't even open the door. , it was labeled as passing the inspection, and it was ready to go.

The accommodating weight of a container is 30 tons. Generally, in order to avoid overweight, it is limited to about 28 tons, and the container itself has about three tons, so the maximum accommodating weight is 26 tons.

The scattered logs inside are placed neatly, so the space is used to the maximum extent, plus the remaining statues, a container can just be filled.

No one would have imagined that this container contained more than 20 tons of gold.

Payne looked at the vehicle that started to turn around slowly, and his heart was full of joy. He could finally go back to work. These days, he missed his original job and the room that belonged to the butler in the castle.

Now his biggest wish is to go back to sleep.

"Let's go, I've connected the car, let's go back with lunch."

Payne took the lead, followed by Yu Qing, and the team members walked out of the pier in a mighty way.

A group of more than 20 people is not conspicuous on this pier, because when most ships dock, the sailors will gather together and go out for a stroll. He looked ferocious, not to be trifled with.

Charles was not here. He followed the vehicle to escort the goods. Although this transportation company was selected with the best reputation, the task has reached the last step. If you don't follow and confirm the safe and sound return, everyone will feel at ease.

So this important task is handed over to Charles, but maybe everyone will arrive at the ranch before him. The transport vehicle and the car they are riding in are not on the same road, and the car is faster.

Payne treated the guests generously. When everyone arrived at a cafeteria, they all wentbbled it up without speaking in a tacit understanding.

During this more than two-month mission, the food was not very good. In India, every time I ate, I was terrified, for fear that I would be tricked.

On the boat, there is the same seafood every day, and it is very annoying to eat too much.

Now everyone has a huge tomahawk steak and grilled chicken on their plates, and they have a sip of juice from time to time, and everyone is chewing comfortably.

As for the drinks, they had to put them on hold because they had to go on their way. Payne also called to inform Lisko that there would be a celebration party at the ranch at night, and everyone could revel at that time.
