Chapter XXXIV Port of Barcelona
Night came quickly, and everyone gathered on the deck to enjoy the delicious shark fins caught during the day and drink beer to the sound of the waves.
Of course, the dancing of the beauties is indispensable for such an atmosphere, and they seem to bring the sailors back to the Atlanta dock bar and back to the dancer Vicie.
So they cheered and threw coins at them, rubbed oil, and after the revelry, made sure that they belonged tonight, and the victor left with the beautiful woman in his arms, and the loser crouched on the side of the ship in a daze, staring at the dark sea and sobering and complaining.
A few days later.
After a few days of recuperation, Zheng Fei's body has almost recovered, except for some pain in the elbow joint, other parts are normal.
The feeling of recovering from a serious illness is the most comfortable, although it is not a disease, but it is also the meaning.
In the early morning, facing the morning sun, Zheng Fei did warm-up exercises on the deck, not only feeling comfortable but also in a good mood, because the New World was about to dock, the port of Barcelona.
The early morning in the port is always so busy, familiar sailboats, familiar containers, familiar laborers are moving containers to ships.
Anchor, docking.
The man in charge was a middle-aged man, and when he saw such a big ship, especially a sperm whale tethered to the stern, he immediately ran over and laughed.
"Hello Captain, I'm Fernando, the head of this place!"
"Give my boat the best maintenance and get us some accommodation. Zheng Fei said, taking out a dozen silver coins and throwing them to him.
"Okay, where did the captain come from?
Fernando's flattering appearance made Zheng Fei very disgusted, and he said lightly: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”
With that, he glanced around and looked around.
It was a large trading port, with hundreds of ships passing through it every day, and the city was built around the port, and it was easy to reach the thriving city center with a single foot.
Together with Santiago, he went to the exchange, which was crowded with merchants who had come to do business, and he wanted to sell ambergris for a good price.
In medieval Europe, the larger ports had an exchange that was used as a platform for merchants.
For example, Persian merchant A brought a batch of night pearls, and wanted to sell them at a high price here to place an order on the exchange, and if a buyer took a fancy to it, he would negotiate, and finally pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand.
The negotiation made the exchange very noisy, and Zheng Fei walked through the crowd of gesturing and resonating words to the counter.
The receptionist is a typical Western European and American woman, with a slender figure with long black and brown curly hair and a pair of electric eyes, even if she is not exposed, she is also charming, of course, this beauty is not dressed much, looking down along the snow-white neck, there is a deep groove.
"Hey~ Need help?" she said lazily and tenderly as she put her cheeks and arms on the counter.
"I'm going to sell something. Zheng Fei said with a smile, staring into her sultry eyes.
Santiago stared straight at her chest, where a delicate brooch was pinned, and many men peeked at her under the pretext of admiring it.
"Hmm, what's the best thing to sell?" she pulled open the drawer and took out the account book, and after a pause, she asked with a smile, "This strong man has been staring at me, is he trying to do something?"
"No, no!" Santiago quickly rubbed his eyes with a dodgy look.
"If you want to do it, it's done, I'm not an innocent little girl~" She joked, coughed twice and began to get down to business: "Please tell me the name of the product, the quantity, and your expected price." ”
"Ambergris. ”
As soon as these three words came out, she was stunned for a moment, twisted her brows and questioned, "What did you say?"
"Ambergris, a luxury spice. ”
"You're not kidding, are you? There was a hint of flirtatiousness in her tone.
"Ha, thanks for the compliment, I'm not kidding. Zheng Fei said, looking at her beautiful face, seduced by that look, he couldn't help but want to conquer her.
She was good at observing words and colors, read his **, leaned forward and whispered in his ear: "At eight o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you at the hotel in the back." ”
"How much does it cost?" he said softly.
"Where do you want to go, I'm not a prostitute, I just like to play, maybe who's taking advantage of whom~" She laughed out loud, very beautiful.
Zheng Fei couldn't help but be speechless, he had long heard that the wild and uninhibited beauty was unique to Spanish girls, and when he saw it today, it was really different, heh, it was not bad to change his taste occasionally.
The glamorous and unrestrained young lady in front of her is not inferior to Cruz, the queen of Latin dance.
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Santiago wondered, pouting at Zheng Fei in jealousy.
"Oh~ nothing, I'll help you list it now. She licked her lips and found a wooden sign with "Ambergris" written on it and hung it on the bulletin board, which was the most prominent place in the exchange.
Ambergris immediately caught the attention of all the merchants.
"Is it really ambergris??"
"I can see it, it's it!"
"Someone actually sells ambergris!"
Because it is extremely difficult to obtain, ambergris is much more valuable than gold and is extremely rare.
The people who were talking about it began to look for the seller, and their eyes stopped on Zheng Fei, who was wearing a black navigation suit, and there was another sigh.
"Oriental~"
"I haven't seen an Oriental in decades, and the last time was in West Asia. ”
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Zheng Fei hurriedly left the exchange with Santiago, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Man, what's fun?"
"Don't ask, just wait to get rich. Zheng Fei sold a pass and squeezed his eyes.
"But why are we leaving? Why don't we stay inside and negotiate?" said Santiago, puzzled.
"Ambergris is a rare thing that has always been hotter and hotter the more it is fried, look at it, there will be people rushing to raise the price. ”
After speaking, Zheng Fei began to browse the shops on the street, and gradually, a plan was brewed in his heart.
Originally, it was planned to cross the Atlantic with only one New World, but now with a treasure like ambergris, it is possible to add two large ships to carry all kinds of necessities.
What's more, you can take a whole boatload of contraband - muskets!
