Song Chongjin noticed that the steersman didn't want to greet him at all, so he naturally didn't bother him.
Following the person leading the way, they walked only a few steps to reach the cabin.
Although the steersman didn't care for them, he arranged excellent cabins for them on the deck, providing three rooms. Though not large, they were fully furnished with beds and chairs, cleaned thoroughly.
This was exceedingly rare.
The person leading the way introduced himself as Xiao Qi, a very clever lad, who explained the ship's rules succinctly.
They were advised to stay in the cabins during the day but were free during the night. Meals would be delivered daily, or if they preferred cooking, they could use a small stove in the kitchen for boiling water.
When they docked at the major pier, they would be informed of the departure time, allowing them to disembark and replenish supplies as needed. Of course, if they missed the time, the ship wouldn't wait for them.
