The eldest sister continued to analyze: "Generally speaking, the most valuable thing about this kind of indefinite mission is that there is no time limit, and it doesn't make much sense to use this time to do the task itself, and more importantly, we need to accumulate funds to strengthen equipment and upgrades, by the way, I don't know if it can be upgraded in this game?" ”

Second sister: "If we can upgrade, does it mean that this world is virtual?" ”

Zhang Cheng is not satisfied with this conclusion: "In our previous world, it can also be upgraded, for example, politicians can be promoted from street politicians to local councilors, state legislators, congressmen, and speakers of parliament. Merchants can be upgraded from small retailers step by step to national general agents. Workers also have the opportunity to be promoted to company managers, and teachers can be promoted from elementary school substitute teachers to university professors. Professional athlete, blue-collar level, role player, all-star, leading student, top salary big name. ”

"Okay." The eldest sister said, "But that's not the point, the point is, I just asked the sailors, and they were just hired to get on board." Got it? ”

Zhang Cheng understood, that is to say, the more than 20 days that a team of people were out of the game were ignored, and the time was amazing.

Bai Nenmei couldn't help but say, "Time is really amazing. We were gone for three weeks. ”

Eldest sister: "I suggest that during this time, everyone should pay attention to the speed of their nail growth, which is the most intuitive biological cycle. If our nails are still growing at the same rate, we can't spend too long here. ”

"Understood."

Bai Nenmei Mommy: "Okay, now my eldest sister and second sister and I will take a few sailors to buy some goods." These days, they don't do a lot of research on the history of this era. Okay, for the rest of the boat, don't always focus on playing. ”

"Understood."

Zhang Cheng felt that the only thing to pay attention to on the ship was the problem of the sailors' rebellion. Sparrow's sailors, led by the first mate, rebelled and threw Jack on an uninhabited island.

By watching a few plays, Jack. Is Sparrow a good captain? The answer is that this man, although he is a bit of a second, is still a qualified captain - he can always get everyone where they need to go. But except for one Biltner who was sunk into the Atlantic, he still got the people to betray his relatives.

Although it is not entirely due to his husky attributes, it is clear that everyone still likes the iron-blooded tough guy captain - the lame + hook + parrot style is the best, although the first mate uses a monkey instead of a parrot. But it works well.

In Zhang Cheng's view, the current captain has the problem of lack of command. It's good that now there is a team on board.

The captain took people to purchase goods, and in theory, Zhang Cheng and others only needed to inspect various posts, but walking around also consumed calories. Zhang Cheng walked from the bow to the stern of the boat and didn't want to go back. The boat is not big, and there is nothing to see in the past two minutes.

In the stern. Zhang Cheng saw a sailor fiddling with a few ropes. In addition to the rope, there is also a wooden utensil in the shape of a wheel attached to the stern.

Zhang Cheng asked the sailors at the stern: "What is this doing?" ”

Sailor: "Fishing." Supply of the ship's galley. ”

The sailor said. Pick up a twine, tie a stick near the end of the float, and tie a thumb-thick pig iron hook to the end of the twine - the blacksmith cannot be blamed. The techniques of this era did not yet have thin and strong steel hooks. The sailor skewered a dead fish the size of a palm on top of the hook and threw it into the water at the stern of the boat.

Zhang Cheng checked it, and sure enough, there were extra hemp ropes, a bucket of dead fish the size of a palm, a dozen cast iron hooks, and wooden sticks of different lengths and thicknesses on the ground.

Zhang Cheng asked, "What kind of fish can bite this kind of hook?" ”

Sailor: "The most common thing that can bite this kind of hook near the harbor is the shark." ”

"Oh." Zhang Cheng also remembered, it seemed that sharks like to gather in the crowd. They can be found on slave ships that often left dead slaves behind, on sandy beaches, and on tropical seashores. It is said that the presence of humans caused the pollution of the seawater, and the increase of algae plankton, caused fish to come here to feed, and then sharks followed.

It's simple, but it's impossible to crack – shark nets are a comforting measure, so a few beachside swimmers die every summer – but that doesn't affect the nature of a summer holiday.

"I'll try it too." Zhang Cheng said, like a sailor, tied a rope to the column on the side of the ship, then put on a float, tied a hook, put on a dead fish as bait, and then threw it into the sea.

The two of them threw more than twenty ropes down, and all that remained was to watch the fish drift and wait.

After a while, one of the fish drifted a little, and the sailor said, "It doesn't look like a big fish." ”

Having said that, I still pulled the rope and felt that although it still had a bit of weight, it was far from being compared to a large shark. Zhang Cheng also took a hand, and the two of them were useless, and the four hands took turns to pull the prey up quickly.

A lobster that is more than a foot long, Zhang Cheng was overjoyed to pinch the back of the lobster and grabbed it, but the sailor disagreed: "Zhang teeth and claws, such big pincers, this shrimp is nothing to eat at first glance." ”

Well, there must not be the first story of eating crabs in this era - maybe there is a story, but it has not spread, after all, this world is not the era of information explosion. Zhang Cheng took the big lobster and thought so, there are few farmed lobsters in later generations that are so big - not to mention Ma Xiao, which is one of the hazards of foreign paddy fields.

Zhang Cheng, who covered the lobster in an iron bucket, thought about it, in fact, foreigners eat it really hard, and the cuisine of the dark British Empire is to toss fish, potatoes, and flour back and forth. The French are limited in their strength, and think that foie gras and truffles are great delicacies - Zhang Cheng has also eaten French dinner twice, and it feels like that.

Italy's Marco Polo at least brought Chinese noodles to the Italians, although it was renamed Italian macaroni, but it really didn't make a difference. Russians are the masters of bread, butter, caviar, salt, beef and potato stews for a lifetime – even better if they had vodka, worthy of being called a fighting nation.

Stir-frying a few home-cooked dishes like the Chinese is really life-threatening for Germans or Americans. The development of technology has not brought much change, and if there is a change, it is that many younger generations of Westerners have become microwave children, regardless of whether the food is put in and heated for a few minutes, it can be taken out and eaten.

"It's biting again." The sailor shouted and pulled, and then said, "This time it's a big fish." ”

Zhang Cheng helped the sailor pull the hemp rope to the top of the reel, and then the two of them quickly shook the reel and pulled the big fish up. The big fish pulled up was not a great white shark with fins on its back as Zhang Cheng remembered, but a three-foot-long shark with a flat body shaped like a pu fan - of course, it was a shark, and the teeth in this mouth were still biting hemp rope and iron hooks when it was pulled up. Such a ferocious temperament is rare among other fish.

Zhang Cheng searched for the fish introductions he had seen before, remembered the name of this person, and blurted out: "Flat shark." ”

The sailor who fished with Zhang Cheng didn't care what it was called, according to experience, he knew that this fish was delicious, and the sailor pulled out the dagger at his waist, stuck a knife into the head of the flat shark, nailed it to the deck, and said to Zhang Cheng: "There are more than a dozen of them, and there will be some to eat at night."
