Chapter 391: The Old Treacherous Cunning Guy

"Where is this Victory now?" he asked. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The mayor raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's just a model, as for the real ship, it should still be built, anyway, when I got this model, the drawings hadn't been drawn yet." ”

"Oh. Zheng Fei was a little gloomy.

Suddenly, he heard the mayor add: "But that was a few years ago, and according to the high-end level of Danish shipyards, I think it was almost done." ”

"Denmark?" Zheng Fei's eyes flashed again.

"Yes, my old friend is the Duke of Denmark, who used to be acquainted with my family business because of his dealings with my family estate, and since Gdańsk is only a sea away from Denmark, and it takes a week to get there by boat, he used to come to my place as a guest, but in recent years he may have been busy there, and he has not been in touch with him again. ”

The mayor said with a smile on his face, and it was clear that he was proud to have this friend, after all, Denmark is the most powerful country in Northern Europe.

"Okay. Zheng Fei stared at the ship model for a while, and then put this matter behind him for the time being, since it is not here, let's wait until Denmark, if there is really such a ship, no matter how much it costs, it will be bought.

If the other party doesn't sell, it depends on the situation, and if the risk factor is not large, just grab it.

A lover of nautical adventure, he had an indescribable fascination with sailing ships, but it was a pity that he had traveled too early to reach the name of a ship in the middle of the fifteenth century.

There are also times when he thinks about designing by himself, and when he is bored during the voyage, he is indeed drawing drawings, but the time is pieced together, most of the time he is very busy, and he has only come up with a rough outline until now.

It takes a lot of energy to design a ship, especially an excellent sail warship, not to mention that he doesn't have so much energy at the moment, even if the drawings are ready-made, it is not easy to build them, and even if they are built, they must be soaked in the sea for a year and a half before they can be put into use and cross the ocean.

Thinking about it this way, there is little hope for three or five years, and now there is a concept ship that should not belong to this era, and he does not want to miss it no matter what.

Could it be that the Danes in this era were really able to design and build warships that were two or three hundred years ahead of their contemporaries?

I don't expect much, but I still have to check it out, what if there is?

After experiencing King Solomon's secret passage, the two geniuses da Vinci, and the primitive man who had never spoken, suddenly sang "Will Enter the Wine...... Gradually, he adopted an attitude of non-denial of everything, believing that anything is possible.

The name Victory made his mind flutter, because it was the same name as his favorite sailing ship.

It was a first-class battleship of the British Royal Navy in the eighteenth century, the best of the sail battleships, and the pride of the British Navy.

It has three artillery decks, a total of one hundred and two cast iron cannons and two giant short cannons, and it is a favorite of thousands of people, and it has won many battles.

The first entry into the war was at the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, and then in the Battle of Cape Saint-Vincent during the French Revolution, where he defeated the Spanish Navy.

One of his most glorious achievements was the Battle of Trafalgar during the Napoleonic period, during which he became famous as Vice Admiral Nelson's flagship to defeat the combined French and Spanish fleets.

......

While Zheng Fei was thinking about these things, the mayor had quietly arrived in front of the wine cabinet, which was neatly arranged with more than a dozen bottles of seemingly expensive wine, including brandy from France and red wine from Italy.

A very experienced sommelier once said that at the end of the European wine, only Italy remains. It is enough to see the pure winemaking process of Italy.

The mayor looked at the treasures in the wine cabinet, raised his hand and stayed for a moment on the bottle that had been treasured for more than ten years, and quickly moved it away, his brows were always furrowed, and he was reluctant to take out each bottle.

He was an avid collector of wine, and the thought of his hard-earned wine to give to others made him feel terrible.

He had only opened his wine collection once, and when he had met with his old Danish friend a few years ago, he had not even been willing to take a bottle out for flattery the last time the king came to inspect it.

He couldn't help but regret inviting Zheng Fei to drink, the pestle held his breath in front of the wine cabinet, and through the reflection of the glass, he glimpsed that Zheng Fei was not looking at this side, rolled his eyes, and then curled the corners of his mouth.

He snapped the cabinet shut and muttered: "What kind of inferior wine, I must find the housekeeper to settle accounts another day, and stuff such rotten things into my wine cabinet!"

The sudden angry scolding really startled Zheng Fei, and he looked at him like a dog.

After scolding a few words, the mayor pretended to calm down, and squeezed out a reluctant smile at Zheng Fei: "Distinguished guest, my butler is so stupid that he actually has my wine cabinet full of inferior wine, I am really embarrassed to take it out and invite you to taste it." ”

Zheng Fei shrugged indifferently and smiled: "It's okay, I've even drunk the wine that the sailors in the tavern drank." ”

In fact, Zheng Fei's heart at the moment is: The old treacherous and cunning guy doesn't want me to drink your good wine, as soon as I enter the door, I see the brandy in the cabinet, and I still want to fool me, hum......

Seeing him so casual, the mayor shook his head: "No, no, no, I have to ask you to drink some high-grade wine." ”

With that, he shouted, "Jax!"

Hearing the summons, hurried footsteps sounded in the corridor outside, and soon, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper ran to the door, with a professional smirk on the corner of his mouth.

"Sir, do you have any instructions?"

"Go and get the good wine I bought the other day. ”

"Okay, I'll go. The housekeeper snickered and squeezed his eyes, he has followed the mayor for more than ten years, and he is very good at speculating about the mayor's thoughts.

Within two minutes, the butler returned with an oak barrel, placed it on the floor, skilfully pried the cork open, and then departed with amusement, taking the door with him.

The mayor poured two glasses of red wine and handed them to Zheng Fei, the red liquid swaying in the walls of the glass, and the color was translucent.

"This is a fine wine from France, I don't know if you have heard of it, it is called Château Lafite, and I heard an old friend of mine say that the wine made there is very good, try it. ”

Zheng Fei took a small sip, swallowed carefully, raised his eyebrows and said against his will: "Well, it's really good." ”

This wine is only mid-range at best, and it is estimated that the housekeeper drank it himself.

Seeing that Zheng Fei had been fooled, an imperceptible smugness flashed in the mayor's pupils, and he put down his wine glass and sat on the sofa.

"Now that we're done with the wine, let's get down to business, how much do you want to put together my ship from Gdansk to Denmark?" )
