Standing on the side of the mainmast and listening to his colleagues' flattery, Old Urban was a tall and thin man with sand-colored hair.His cheeks are deeply sunken, and the lines on his face resemble those cut with an axe, with extremely sharp edges and corners.This look is very suitable for staring people, and it will definitely scare the newly hired interns to pee their pants, but after listening to the dark guy’s rainbow fart, instead of glaring at him, he smiled so that his mouth reached the roots of his ears, which was 25 cents more than white. The coins are all happy.

"The meeting place is recommended by my youngest son." When he said this, Old Erben was full of pride:

"What I have done is just a supplement to some details. Everyone, let us raise a glass to the imaginative offspring, let us raise a glass to the ancestors who slashed the waves, let us raise a glass to the XX who gave it all! Our cause, like the Stars and Stripes flying on the mast top, will never fall!"

A group of middle-aged and elderly people applauded and drank the navy rum in the tin cup.But their high spirits did not last long.

As soon as the breakwater was drilled, the whaling ship turned on the auxiliary water jet propulsion device and sailed towards the fishing ground at a speed of 25 knots.Sailors in jeans with slings and cotton shirts also swarmed onto the upper deck at this time, giving tourists the same outfits.

This is the beginning of the first tour project.80% of the waiters and 90% of the sailors on the sailing boat are robots of not very high Turing level, and their service attitude is not comparable to that of a five-star hotel.They are like their counterparts in the nostalgic theme parks in the 1980s. They don't know what they are working on. They only entertain visitors according to the preset program and broadcast those precautions mechanically.

Since the freshness has not yet passed, the rich guys did not protest, and everyone was very cooperative.They left their custom-made Chinese costumes on the ship, and successively changed into crumpled, washed and white costumes. After leaving the room, they did not forget to tease each other. The lines are joking.

This group of rich men naively thought that these were the only hardships they had to go through.But changing clothes was just the beginning, and the pile of work immediately caught the tourists' faces:

From 0900 to 1100, a group of men must check the sharpening stones, clean the stove, and dry the salted canvas bundles.Between 1100 and 1200, they had to add charcoal and firewood to the stove and wipe the cauldron of whale oil tormented by the way.After climbing up and down to finish the dirty work, lunch can not be started immediately. Tourists need to practice knotting first, and then polish the teak deck with spongy volcanic stones. They are not allowed to rest until one in the afternoon......

Although these are the simplest tasks, in the 19th century, they were novice chores, and veterans disdain to do them, but the rich and powerful people are still busy with complaints and low efficiency.Someone tied the sailor's knot 30 times and was unsuccessful, so they simply tied the rope into a bow in a fit of anger. Someone could not wipe the deck with a rock for a long time and rubbed blood out of the tiger’s mouth. Someone deliberately fell down before half of it. , Sat down against the bulwark and protested loudly.

The robotic sailor has no sympathy for this.They yelled at tourists in 19th-century English according to a preset procedure. Except for no physical punishment, other performances were indistinguishable from the crew of the year.The human waiter is accompanied by smiling faces, running from the bow to the stern to apologize, saying repeatedly, "We just follow the schedule. In order to let the guests experience the authentic history, it is also a last resort to arrange a certain period of sailing experience."

Old Urban agreed with this view.Not only did he take the lead in wiping the deck, but he also helped the human sailors and waiters to comfort their companions together. All kinds of high-sounding truths said.However, when the dinner was officially opened at 1300, this "tough guy" who thought he could endure hardship was dumbfounded with other adult guests. Holding the brown wooden spoon and bowl, he struggled for a long time.

The lunch set in front of Old Urban was not different from the main course of the appetizer.Whether it's sailors or tourists, they eat exactly the same meals, all cooked in a mess.I have to say that the historical research of Nantucket is really good. They actually restored the 19th century sailor’s cookbook, only improving in some details (for example, it was not like the "good" shipowner of the year. Purchasing cheap raw materials that deteriorate quickly):

The stew offered to everyone is based on barreled corned beef, raw onions, and stored peas, with a few pieces of cheese and a bit of sage.This thing is not only simple in materials, but also very rough. It is done by stuffing charcoal firewood into the stove, and simmering it in an iron pan cleaned by guests.

Just looking at the text description, this thing seems pretty good, at least it can make people drain water.But the problem is that the roughness of what people eat in the 19th century is not what modern people can imagine.

Take the most important raw material, corned beef in wooden barrels.This thing faithfully copied the 19th-century recipe. The manufacturing process is only smoked and salted. The seasoning is basically salt, which is incomparable with the smoked meat of high-end restaurants.Even the corned beef that has just been fished out of the brine is as hard as a hardwood mast, and occasionally a few softer pieces appeared, either deteriorating by bacteria or some kind of soft larva.

The other raw materials are also in poor condition.Onion is an ancient variety that was restored with a lot of money on Nantucket Island. The biggest feature is that it is thin and small, and it is pale and gray from the tip to the whisker. It is clearly different from the large and purple counterparts on organic farms.Storage peas, as the name suggests, is a long-term storage product that is dried and put into the cellar to eat ashes, and then moved into the bottom warehouse of the ship; you don't need to bring fresh peas over. The frozen peas sold in the supermarket can taste dry and dry. The hard deflated calf exploded.

In addition to the longer storage time, the quality of sage and cheese is generally not as good as other materials.But this couple is just a seasoning, not even the side dishes, they don't have the ability to change the essence of the dishes.Suo Zhongwu saw it really. When the robot crew prepared the meal, the sage, cheese, and pepper froth were all prepared instantly. The remaining 99% of the time was spent on the other three.

When they clean up the corned beef, they use an axe directly, and then mix the pieces together regardless of fat or thinness, mixed with skins and hooves.Onions and peas are very clean, but they will be put into the pot directly after they are washed. There is no pre-treatment such as red wine pickling or olive oil pre-fry.

The stew made with these materials is not only salty but also ugly in appearance.After blowing off the steam, you can only see the greasy soup, which is not slipping away, and the tufts of black and white solids.
