The nautical lunch enjoyed by Luo Zhengdao was a standard aristocratic course, with a starter of steamed fish that he couldn't distinguish, the chef sprinkled the steamed fish with a large amount of powdered red spices, similar in taste to basil and cinnamon, and the main course was a whole roast chicken, or some kind of poultry that resembled a chicken, and was also prepared with a lot of spices. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) Two dried and dehydrated salted sausages are sliced and arranged into a flower plate, a bottle of crystal bottle fruit wine with a ruddy and attractive color, two plates of green vegetables suspected to be some kind of vegetables and bean sprouts, a pot of steaming milk soup, at least it smells good, and Luo Zhengdao can't say what it tastes like, and finally on the table is a plate of toasted bread, each bread is only the size of a fist, and the rising heat makes people know that it is soft and delicious at a glance.

Although Luo Zhengdao is not familiar with the catering industry in the New World, he is also a hardcore player who has indulged in the Age of Discovery, and knows that the lifestyle of the Sailing Age and the post-industrial modern society are two completely different concepts, and it will be a big deal to apply them indiscriminately.

It is true that the dishes in front of Luo Zhengdao's eyes are in the old world with abundant material supplies, and they are certainly not a big scene, and ordinary citizens with decent economic conditions can afford to eat them, just whether they are willing to be slaughtered by those Chinese and Western restaurants that are not local and foreign. However, in the context of the Middle Ages, when there was no refrigeration and preservation technology, or magic was not widespread on the bad street, it is estimated that there is no second person on the entire ship who enjoys such a luxurious courtesy, except for Luo Zhengdao, a noble captain whose central role is purely ornamental.

Raising his eyes to examine the sumptuous dishes, Luo Zhengdao said thoughtfully to the crew:

"Has Vena-sensei had lunch?"

Presumably, he didn't expect the captain to ask such a question, and the sailor in the lead was stunned for a moment, and he leaned over and replied:

"Lord Dubov has been busy measuring the course, so he shouldn't have eaten yet!"

"Well, you send her over for lunch with me."

"Yes, Lord Count, I'll let you know."

Each seemingly isolated group is a microcosm of the entire outside world, and legend has it that the Buddha's eye could glimpse the three thousand worlds through a grain of sand, and even on this dilapidated ship, some of the social ethos of the new world could be discerned.

Except for the governess half-elf Vena, everyone was respectful and humble to Luo Zhengdao, who held the title of earl, just as they had been killed and wounded in the battle earlier, and until now Luo Zhengdao had not seen anyone come to complain to him, the captain. From this point of view alone, the social hierarchy of the new world must be extremely strict, and the nobles and commoners cannot look at each other's relationship with each other, and the sailors seem to be so cautious when they say a word to Luo Zhengdao, even their eyes dare to look at the tips of Luo Zhengdao's shoes. Equal communication or something, for these people, maybe it's a completely incomprehensible weird thing!

Luo Zhengdao faintly felt that something was wrong with this matter, but he couldn't find the crux of the problem for a while, the three-no-no organization of pirates has never been a word. To put it bluntly, pirates are just a group of bandits who gather to loot money, and the captain's orders cannot be carried out unconditionally, are his subordinates too respectful and tame?

I tried to recall the classic scene of the orchid-pointed sissy Captain Jack being rebelled and exiled to a desert island by his subordinates in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies, and the rude sailors would rebel against the palace at every turn, as if that was the true portrayal of pirate life! On the contrary, at present, it is like an army, with a clear hierarchy of upper and lower levels, and Luo Zhengdao feels a sense of disobedience when he looks at it horizontally and vertically.

Without waiting for Luo Zhengdao, who was meditating on social relations in the new world, to understand the cause and effect of the whole thing, Vina Dubov, who was full of spring breeze, pushed the door and walked in. As soon as they met, she smiled at Luo Zhengdao and said:

"Will, as a nobleman, you must always be honored, you can't always be lazy!"

Saying that, the half-elf beauty did not delay at all in her movements, and pulled a chair with ease, and she sat opposite Luo Zhengdao with an elegant posture, looking like a lady with the ultimate professional temperament. Judging from Vina Dubov's honest appearance, this table was not a sumptuous lunch for the well-informed Luo Zhengdao, but it was quite tempting for her

"Dingdingding......"

A brilliant golden dawn gradually appeared from the east where the sun was projected, and the bell on the Yong was struck rhythmically by the sailor on the watch, pulling the rope, and this crisp and melodious chiming broke through the morning mist that shrouded the island of Seland, and then the one-eyed dragon boatswain Fore Chopin shouted loudly:

"Lower the sails and get ready to anchor!"

Waiting on the command platform on the stern deck early, Luo Zhengdao scanned the quiet port city through a telescope, and said with a smile to Vina Dubov beside him:

"Well, it's a very prosperous port!"

Indeed, when it was so early in the day, the streets were crowded with people, and the island of Seran was one of the most famous spice trading ports on the Sea of Stars. Compared with Tahuna Island, which is also a port city located on the island, the gap between the two can be described as a world of difference, it is simply the life gap between the handsome rich Prince Charming and the hard-working little **.

"Of course, Ambon Port is one of the main spice producing areas in the sea of stars, if it weren't for the fall of the Bright Dynasty, the trade volume between the open sea and the main 6 would have dropped sharply, and the market would be more than ten times more prosperous than now!"

happily chatted with Luo Zhengdao for a while, and when the Yong docked at the dock, Vina, who was a knowledgeable old horse, leaned half of her body out of the side of the ship, and tried to look in the direction of the shipyard on the right side of the dock for a while, and said to Luo Zhengdao:

"Later, let's go to the shipyard to consult and repair, if there is a suitable second-hand ship, do you want to buy it?"

Luo Zhengdao is a foreigner who suddenly crossed over, and he has not yet established a clear concept of the amount of money in the new world, but the process of crossing has already told him, why did the ancients say that money is something outside the body. As soon as your eyes are open and closed, the tickets, houses, and cars are all someone else's, so what is he reluctant to do? Luo Zhengdao gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice:

"Don't worry, I'm not a miser, and it's not a glorious thing to die with a pile of gold coins."

The shipyard on the island of Seran was only a few minutes' walk from the pier, and Luo Zhengdao chatted with Vina and walked around, and soon arrived at this large shipyard that can be counted in the entire sea of stars.

Ambon is a trading port, neither a military port nor a supply port specializing in the export of ship materials, most of the customers who come to patronize are shipowners of merchant ships, so the shipyard's business volume in ship repair is more than ten or twenty times more than that of shipbuilding, it is conceivable that the owner of Ambon shipyard has quite a set of bargaining with merchants.

"Oh, it's right for two VIPs to come to our Ambon shipyard, we are a century-old factory, and the ship materials are made of high-quality sea driftwood and hardwood that have been dried for many years. If you have any additional requirements, such as hull covering, copper, iron, moth-proof and fireproof painting, we can do these services, but the price is a little more expensive...... The material of the sail is the main big 6 top magic cloth shipped from Xiangjiang Port, although the price is a little ...... But the quality of the workmanship is absolutely impeccable. Does your ship need to be armed to defend against pirates and goblins? Our factory can assist in contacting the gun factories in the Kingdom of Yogyakarta to ensure that the price is affordable and the quantity is sufficient...... If you want a firearm made by the Yaling and Elven Arsenal, as long as you're willing to pay a high price, that's fine. ”

The smiling shipyard owner was a middle-aged, bald man with a bare body, and it seemed that he had answered the old adage that a smart head doesn't grow hair, and he launched a marketing offensive against Luo Zhengdao, who held the title of nobility, and used his saliva to drown out the words of his customers.

The Guangming Dynasty inherited the mantle of the human dynasties, and once controlled the hegemon for 6 thousand years, and those large and small nobles who were pampered and pampered were called kings behind closed doors in their own fiefdoms, and their accumulated family wealth was not a small amount. Although the Bright Dynasty was subverted by the Second Goblin Empire, and the human nobles had to abandon their families and businesses and flee in all directions, who doesn't know that the ship has a broken bottom, the bottom is rotten, and there is a simple truth that there are three catties of nails if the help is gone? Luo Zhengdao, the down-and-out Earl of Fulu, is in the eyes of knowledgeable businessmen, who are comparable to the gold lords and local tyrants of the coal boss level in the eyes of people in the old world, and the standard people are stupid and have more money!

People know what they are! When it comes to the performance of ships in the New World, the traversers who have been staying in the Old World before are out-and-out laymen, and Luo Zhengdao is not a sailing enthusiast, even if it is the same sailboat style, a sailboat sailing in the sea water cannot be confused with a sailing ship galloping in the etheric sea. Since his family knew his own affairs, Luo Zhengdao had a passive defensive strategy of only listening and not talking, and he followed behind the half-elf Vena very low-key, listening carefully to her bargaining with the boss, while calculating his own ideas, and never opening his mouth lightly. At this juncture, the responsibility that Luo Zhengdao can bear is nothing more than to be ready to settle the bill out of his pocket after the price is finalized by both parties, and that's all he can do.

After several rounds of back and forth, Vina Dubov frowned slightly, stomped her feet with a slightly annoyed expression, and said to Luo Zhengdao in a low voice:

"Will, the price of ordering a new ship is too high, we can't afford it!"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao raised his eyes and looked at the bald uncle who was waiting ten meters away, his eyes flashing with gold coins, looking forward to the favor of the goddess of wealth, and said to Vina tentatively:

"Otherwise, let's buy second-hand goods and make do with it!"

Lowering her head and seriously weighing her own financial affordability, after a while, the half-elf beauty nodded helplessly to Luo Zhengdao. Then she came to the shipyard owner and said with a smile:

"Lord Earl wants to know, do you have a Yaling warship for sale here?"

Hearing this, the smile on the shipyard owner's face instantly froze, and then he hurriedly squeezed out a smile to hide his gaffe, waved his hand and said:

"Hahahaha, guest, you are laughing, how can there be a Yaling battleship in a small place like ours?"

Vena Dubov, an adventurer, was a thoughtful and well-informed shrewd woman, and if it weren't for that, Luo Zhengdao's cheap dad wouldn't have asked her to be his son's tutor. Seeing through the impurity of the other party's mind at a glance, and confiding the news was even more unreliable, the half-elf beauty showed a charming smile, slowly came to the shipyard owner's side, leaned close to him and whispered:

"Really? I seem to have heard that the Royal Fleet of Yaling is being rearmament, and many warships that are less than in service have been eliminated because they do not meet the standards of the new fleet, this kind of bargain is not often available, don't you know, boss? ”
