The shop was cleaned up. It was still early, so there were no customers.
Pedestrians were coming and going, going to work or going to school, and starting their daily activities.
The delivery guys were wearing waterproof jackets, driving electric tricycles with the express company logo, and delivering packages to the hands of the recipients.
Zhang Zian and the others had just gotten some free time when they saw a delivery electric bike parked in front of the shop.
"This... is Mr. Hottie here? There's a package for you, "the delivery guy asked as he poked his head into the shop.
"Yes, I am." Zhang Zian went out to greet him.
The delivery guy took out a big square box from the back of the car. From the way he moved it, the box was not light.
"Your package, please sign for it." The delivery guy took out two other packages from the car, put them together, and handed over the express receipt.
Zhang Zian took the receipt and pen, but he was not in a hurry to sign his name. Instead, he negotiated with the delivery guy, "I want to check the goods before I sign for it."
The delivery guy was in a hurry to deliver the other packages. After all, every package delivered was a source of income, but Zhang Zian insisted on checking, so he had no choice but to agree.
Zhang Zian first checked the appearance of the box to see if there was any damage, then took out the Swiss army knife on the key chain, ready to cut the tape that sealed the box.
"Master, I understand that you are eager to try on women's clothes, but this is the street, and it is not good to have a good image..." Wang Qian came over and whispered, indicating that there were many pedestrians watching.
"Bullsh * t! I never wear women's clothes! "Zhang Zian scolded.
"Don't be so stubborn. This package clearly says' clothing supplies. 'If it is not women's clothes, then what is it?" Wang Qian pointed at one of the packages.
Zhang Zian was too lazy to explain, and he opened the three boxes one by one in front of the delivery guy.
"Huh? What is this? A life jacket? " Wang Qian saw that after the box marked "clothing supplies" was opened, there was actually a bright red life jacket inside. He could not help but be stunned.
In another small box was an uninflated life buoy.
The largest and heaviest box was filled with uninflated assault boats, electric motors, oars, and other trinkets that the seller had gifted him, regardless of whether they were useful or not.
Zhang Zian was not very confident about the quality of the assault boat. After all, it was produced by a small workshop. If there was a leak, not only would it be troublesome to return it, but he might also have to pay for the postage himself. Therefore, he insisted on opening the box and inspecting it in person. If there was a quality problem, he would simply reject it.
Zhang Zian asked Wang Qian to bring out a plug board from the shop, plug in the inflatable pump, and start inflating the assault boat.
The inflatable pump hummed as it began to operate. The assault boat, which could not be seen at first, slowly expanded and took on a rudimentary form. At the very least, it could be recognized as a boat.
The deliveryman, who was in a hurry to deliver the other packages, was also a little surprised. He had been delivering packages for a long time and had seen people buy all kinds of things, but this was the first time he had seen someone buy a boat.
"Don't just stand there. Help me check if there's any air leakage." Zhang Zian pushed Wang Qian, who was dumbfounded.
Because it was too early, there were no customers for the time being. Even Lu Yiyun, Jiang Feifei, and Li Kun were called out by Zhang Zian. Everyone's eyes were almost glued to the boat, doing a carpet scan.
According to the instructions, the first inflation would only reach 80% before stopping.
Zhang Zian tightened the inflatable port and joined in the search for flaws.
The few of them looked around for a long time, but they did not find any air leakage. Only then did Zhang Zian sign for the delivery under the impatient urging of the deliveryman.
The deliveryman left with a sullen face, calculating how many more deliveries he would have to make back the time he had wasted there.
Zhang Zian released the air in the assault boat, folded it up, and stuffed it back into the box.
Wang Qian wanted to carry the box into the shop, but Zhang Zian stopped him.
"There's no need to carry it into the shop. Just put it in the trunk, along with the life jackets and lifebuoys in the two boxes," he instructed.
"Uh … Master, what are you doing?" Li Kun asked, confused. "Could it be that … you want to go adrift?"
"A normal person would think of going out to sea or fishing, right?" Zhang Zian complained.
"Going out to sea? Going out to sea for what? "
The few of them asked at the same time.
Some of them were locals, and some were foreigners, but they had all lived in Binhai City for a long time. There were some tourist attractions in Binhai City, but what was the point of going out to sea on a boat? Zhang Zian was not a fisherman who liked to fish, not to mention that the inflatable boat did not look very reliable.
"Actually, it's not really going out to sea. I'm just strolling in the shallow waters near the shore to relax." Zhang Zian explained with some reservations. "Aren't there a lot of whales in the nearby waters? I want to go whale watching by boat, but our city doesn't have such a tourism project, so I can only buy a boat to go whale watching. "
The others were speechless, because this was really not Zhang Zian's style. Buying a boat just to watch whales?
Whale watching was a very popular tourism project. There were a few areas in the world that had unique geographical conditions and were famous for whale watching and sightseeing, but Binhai City was not one of them. There had not been any signs of whales in Binhai City for many years.
The others did not understand, but Jiang Feifei was very excited. Her eyes were shining.
She volunteered and said, "Store manager, I also want to go whale watching. Can you take me with you?"
Although Jiang Feifei came from the inland area, she liked aquatic creatures very much. Of course, she also liked the charmingly naive whales, but she had never seen a whale up close. She had not even seen a dolphin up close. After all, there was no ocean world in Binhai City. There was no place to see them even if she wanted to.
She knew that a large number of whales had appeared in the sea outside Binhai City, but that was all she knew. She had never thought that she could go out to sea on a boat to watch whales with her own eyes.
After listening to Zhang Zian, she almost could not contain her excitement and immediately said that she wanted to go with him.
Zhang Zian did not expect her to be so enthusiastic, but he could not bring her along, at least not this time. This time out to sea was experimental, and they had to get close to a giant whale with unknown conditions. The risks involved were self-evident.
It was fine if he took the risk himself, but he could not bring Jiang Feifei along with him. If something went wrong, he could not bear the responsibility.
"Can't I?" Jiang Feifei saw the hesitation on his face and could not help but feel a little discouraged. At the same time, she scolded herself in her heart for being too abrupt.
Zhang Zian could not bear to dispel her enthusiasm. He glanced at the life jacket and said, "It's not that I can't, but I can't this time. I did not expect you to like whale watching, so I only bought my own life jacket … It's dangerous for a small boat like this to sail on the sea, so you have to wear a life jacket. So, if there's a chance in the future."
