This water was something I brought with me when I set off from the South Sea. Originally, I thought the Middle East was short on water, and water was expensive. I figured since the ship was empty anyway, bringing some water wouldn't be a hassle. Then I could add some color and sweetener, and sell it as a drink. But I never expected that we would run into trouble here, and be so short on water—"
Jing Shu smiled slightly, "Did you hear that? This water was meant to be sold as a drink, it's not being given to you for free!"
Everyone's faces looked extremely strange. What? Did I hear that right? So Jing Shu brought all this water to sell in the Middle East? Is this even possible? How much fuel does an empty ship use, and bringing so many tons of water would increase fuel use by how much? Even if water is scarce there, could the money made from selling it over there cover the fuel costs?
