Chapter 1161 1161. Riding the Wind and Waves (55)

Originally, Li Du planned to fly to Melbourne, and let his parents and others stay in Melbourne for fun, and then he flew to Hobart, the capital of Tasmania, to handle the matter of buying the island.

Now that he has a big yacht, he changed his mind and decided to waste some time and drive the yacht to Hobart. We don't need to be separated along the way, and we can swim in the sea all the way.

Moreover, the Martins still have the problem of heat and cold. It is not very good for them to fly up and down by plane. It is better to keep warm and set off from the sea.

It is scorching summer in Australia this season, so spending the night on the ocean will not feel cold at all.

The Martins had nothing to do. They watched the news while they were in the hospital, and then saw the news about the scam. After all, it was the biggest crime that happened in Sydney in the last two days.

After they boarded the yacht, they were amazed, and they were so lucky to call Li Du repeatedly.

In this case, Li Du was called "a man blessed by God".

In fact, the prizes of other tourists can also be kept, of course, the premise is that taxes must be paid in accordance with the law.

But the other prizes are fakes, worthless and not worth taxing to keep, except for this luxury yacht.

Originally, a luxury yacht is a very rare prize in a lottery. The probability of a yacht appearing in a lottery is very low; as a special prize, the probability of being drawn is even lower.

The lowest probability is that this lottery is fake. In a fraudulent event, winning the special prize and getting a luxury yacht, there is no need to explain how low the combined probability is.

The Martins felt that Li Du was lucky, but they didn't participate in this lottery, so it was hard to guess.

Li's father and Li's mother also felt that their son was lucky, but they didn't feel that there was any problem, because they had won the second prize in the lottery before.

There is no first prize in the prize pool, except for the special prize, the second prize is the one with the least chance of winning. Therefore, in the eyes of both of them, their family members are very lucky, which is nothing unusual.

The yacht pulled anchor and set sail, all the way south from Sydney.

Li Du went to fill up the gas. The price of diesel is 1.4 yuan. The fuel tank has 2200 liters. It can run 250 nautical miles at a time. From Sydney to Hobart, the preliminary estimate is that it will cost 15,000 yuan...

Because there are two engines and propellers, if they are all started, the yacht can be very fast and can maintain a regular speed of 35 knots, and the limit speed is 45 knots, which can be called a high-speed yacht.

Brother Wolf and Big Ivan both drive yachts, and they take turns staying in the wheelhouse. The yacht rides the wind and waves all the way, along the coastline of Australia, from the offshore to Tasmania.

Along the way, the scenery is picturesque and the sea is clear. Li's parents and others were very interested at first, and everything was very novel.

But the sea was rough and the two of them got seasick!

Fortunately, the seasickness was not severe, but they felt nauseous occasionally. Sophie made lemonade for them, which could barely suppress the sour water in their stomachs.

On the contrary, the Martins were revived with full blood, and they became like children again, leading the five children to toss around on the boat.

In the evening, there happened to be a fire cloud.

Sophie took off her sunglasses and stood at the bow of the boat, staring at the burning clouds in the distant sky.

The yacht rides the wind and waves, and the sea breeze blows on her body, bringing her wide dress to fly.

Li Du walked over quietly and hugged her belly from behind. Sophie was taken aback, and then quickly opened her arms.

In this way, Li Du smiled. He moved his hands away from his lower abdomen, put his hands on Sophie's left and right wrists from behind, gently supported her arms and said, "Fly, dear little Skylark."

"I'll take you to fly together." Sophie giggled, "Grab my wings, or don't fall into the sea."

Mr. Martin yelled from the side of the boat: "Hey, hey, don't put on a pose there, come on, come on, I have a big fish here."

Sophie was very dissatisfied, she turned her head and said angrily: "Dad, go aside, don't ruin our romance!"

Mr. Martin laughed, took his rod back and ran to the stern.

The dinner was in charge of Li's father and Li's mother. Since they left the United States, they lived in hotels and had no chance to cook in person. They decided to seize this opportunity.

As long as they don't cook by themselves, they can't eat orthodox hometown dishes. For them, these foreign dishes can be adjusted occasionally, and they can't bear it if they eat them for a long time.

Li Du knew this. When he set off from Sydney, he went to the local Chinese supermarket to buy a lot of local food ingredients and condiments.

The sea voyage is very humid, so Mother Li stewed a pot of red bean barley porridge to dehumidify everyone.

She added some starch and honey to the red bean and barley porridge, and cooked it for a whole afternoon. The rice porridge was very sticky and sweet.

Ah Meng doesn't drink porridge, and has never been interested in millet porridge, eight-treasure porridge, etc., but he is quite interested in this kind of red bean and barley porridge with honey, and his stomach is full after drinking porridge all night.

In addition, Li Du bought a lot of tofu, dried tofu, vegetables and meat, and Li's father and Li mother prepared a large table of dishes.

"Foreigners don't know how to order tofu. This tofu is too soft." Father Li kept shaking his head while making mapo tofu.

Li's mother said: "Put it in the refrigerator to freeze. Tomorrow, I will make iced tofu stewed with Chinese cabbage, or braised frozen tofu. It will not be afraid of being soft."

After the boat sailed for a day, they caught a few fish, and after tidying up, they made a steamer and a fish soup at night.

The three of Brother Wolf also fished when they had nothing to do. They caught yellowtail, and Mr. Martin took it away. Originally, Father Li planned to fry it, but Mr. Martin made sashimi.

Sophie also suggested frying: "Dad, these shallow sea fish may have parasites, so frying is safer."

"But deep-frying is not healthy," Mr. Martin said. "It's better to eat yusheng. This is the way of the Japanese. The Japanese can live very well, which makes sense."

The yellowtail fish was very small, and the sashimi slices were also very small. Li Du and the others left the chopsticks for Mr. Martin.

There are very few yellowtails that are suitable for raw fish, and the meat is required to be tender and tender. Brother Lang and the others caught unsuitable fish, and the taste was not very good.

After Sophie took a sip, she waited to see her dad joke, and Mr. Martin said firmly: "This is delicious, I must eat them all."

But he is not a person who can bear hardships, so he finally had no choice but to push it to Li Du: "Come on, son-in-law, you have to eat some sashimi, it is good for your body."

He also winked at Li Du, showing a smile that a man could understand.

Li Du laughed, the old man is really like a child.

After dinner, it was a good time for the mid-heaven of the moon.

The weather was fine, without clouds, and a perfect southern hemisphere starry sky was shown to them.

There seemed to be no atmospheric obstruction, and the starry sky was as clear as if it had been wiped with a water-soaked rag, and countless stars were shining brightly.

Li Du took Sophie to the top floor, lying on it and looking up, as if he was lying in the galaxy.
