"The raw material is...... Marinated grilled chicken breast. ”

"Toast, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cream, strawberry...... And bread and carrots. ”

"Practice...... Toast cut off the edges, coat with cream, and base ...... Put the lettuce and tomatoes and put the bread...... The chicken breast is stacked on top of the bacon and covered with another slice of toast. ”

"Diagonally...... Cut! ”

"Finally, top the strawberries, sprinkle with shredded radish, and insert thin strips of wood...... The perfect Grandma Rowling secret royal collection sandwich, done! ”

In the Galley of the Artis Beauty, little Pierce carefully packed up the legacy recipes that Grandma Rowling had left him, plated the sandwiches, picked them up, and opened the hatch.

Today is a sunny day, the sea breeze is warm, and the waves are gentle.

Lorraine was lying on the deck, doing his cartographic work against the huge nautical charts that filled her side.

Pierce walked up with a sandwich and asked curiously, "Mr. Captain, aren't Hook's charts ready-made?" Why would you want to redraw it? ”

"Because of precision." Lorraine added a smooth curve to the map, put down her pen, and looked at Pierce, "Hooke's chart gives us the location of twenty-four Black Harbours, covering Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Prussia, England, France, and Spain, and is excellent value for money." ”

"But this set of drawings should have been inherited or stolen. Because there is different handwriting on the annotations, and the basemap is very old. Judging by the coastline and signatures, I guess it is probably a civil drawing of the Dutch Maritime Administration at the beginning of the sixteenth century. ”

"You can even see that?" Pierce's eyes widened.

Lorraine smiled and took the plate: "In order to familiarize myself with the evolution of the coastline, I have personally drawn a total of seventeen versions of the military strait map from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. Hook's set also has a strait map, so it can be roughly compared. ”

"Wow......"

Ignoring the fact that she was lying on the map trying to find a different Pierce, Lorraine put down her plate and picked up a sandwich and stuffed it into her mouth.

The taste of the sandwich was superb.

Lettuce and tomato neutralize the oiliness and accentuate the saltiness of the chicken and bacon. The fresh cream and toast shine together, making the taste changeable and the aftertaste long.

Lorraine Meimei chewed a few bites and praised: "Little Pierce, is Grandma Rowling's secret recipe again?" ”

"That's right." Pierce didn't look up, "Sir, what's the difference between the pictures?" ”

"The most obvious change is in Dunkirk, in the area of the Calais Strait." Lorraine ate three pieces in a row and touched her stomach, "Did you send it to Henna?" ”

"Ms. Yesra is practicing throwing knives, and I've left them in her cabin."

Lorraine nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly her face changed: "Wait, bacon!" ”

Pierce stood up with a thud: "Oh God! I'll come when I go! ”

Seeing the embarrassed figure of little Pierce rushing into the cockpit, Lorraine chewed on a sandwich, except for a bitter smile.

Three days after the auction ended, a visit to Sir Formy yielded good results. Scott hadn't come to install the harpoon yet.

Pidick gets news from Ramos that Clen is working on the resignation process at Belldock. In other words, although the two have not yet met, the Pidick family has solved the biggest obstacle for Lorraine to get Cren aboard.

And the harvest of the auction......

Fishing fork cannons, octants, charts, for the purchase of these three goods, Lorraine paid a total of 615 pounds, 18 shillings and 10 pence, including taxes, which is almost 616 pounds.

After-tax income for pewter and spices was only £281.

In order to alleviate the financial pressure of the merchant group, Lorraine had to temporarily add a set of Doucai porcelain tea sets to the auction the next day.

This was not in line with the usual procedures of the auction, but considering the quality of the porcelain provided by Lorraine, Ramos traveled to all nine auction dignitaries except Lorraine overnight, and obtained unanimous understanding and approval.

The tea set was put on the auction stage, and the next morning session set off a bidding boom no less than the beautiful fish, and finally sold for 323 pounds after tax.

The money became a lifesaver for Lorraine.

With the money in hand, he went all out in the afternoon, winning three bids in quick succession at an average price of £1.5 per barrel, buying a total of 150 barrels of third-class whisky to refill the bilge of the Artis Beauty.

At the end of the round, he had close to £160 in cash left, which in most cases would be enough to deal with the problems that merchant ships would face.

The destination for the next leg to Northern Europe has also been decided.

In the Bokenfjord of the Kingdom of Norway, near Stavanger, the fourth largest city, there is an unnamed Black Harbour, which Hooker also named Stavanger.

It was a Viking black harbor, and Lorraine was looking forward to the next meeting with her compatriots.

With that, everything was ready, and his mission in Elgin was only to recruit Karen......

Lorraine took a deep breath and picked up the protractor again. The latitude and longitude of a new port had not yet been counted, and Ramos's shouts suddenly came from under the ship.

"Lorraine!"

After all, they are both young people, and both sides have also had the experience of serving together in the Royal Navy. After a few days together, Lorraine and Ramos have developed a friendship that is close enough to call their names.

Ramos shouted under the boat: "Drop the plank, look who I have brought in!" ”

Lorraine looked up in confusion and saw a tall, muscular white-haired young man standing next to Ramos.

The man had an extremely high nose, a pale complexion, a pair of amber eyes in deep eye sockets, and thick eyebrows.

He wore a beige half-sleeved shirt and brown cotton trousers, a huge half-man-high hammer tied to his back, and he carried a large wooden box in his hand, which was stained with oil but gave people a strange feeling of cleanliness and neatness.

And he was particularly tall.

Ramos and Lorraine are of the same height, and they are already more than 180 centimeters tall, but they are a little shorter next to him.

Looking at his thick arms, a name popped into Lorraine's mind, Clen. Scott.

Apprentice shipwright, are you finally here?

Lorraine hurriedly lowered the ship's plank.

The young man and Ramos strode aboard, and in a few moments stood opposite Lorraine.

Ramos smiled and introduced: "Lorraine, this is ......"

"Vikings?" Lorraine interrupted Ramos and asked, tilting her head.

The young man grinned: "Germanic, but my homeland is the Kingdom of Finland. ”

"No wonder...... As far as I know, there are few people in either Prussia or the Holy Roman Empire who are as tall as you. Lorraine reached out and squeezed the young man's cast-iron arm, "And strong." ”

The young man puffed out his biceps in front of Lorraine: "No way, boatmen are originally hard work, not to mention that I am also an excellent sailman." ”

"How good is it?"

"There is no other in the world."

Lorraine shook his head with a smile and stretched out his hand towards the young man: "Lorraine, Lorraine. Arnason. Drake. ”

"Clen. Scott, an apprentice shipwright that no one wants. Clen stared into Lorraine's eyes proudly, "Captain, is there a shortage of people on your ship?" ”

"If you're talking about a master craftsman and a sailman like no other in the world, it's missing."

There was a snap, and the two big hands were firmly clasped together.

Lorraine smiled and said, "Mr. Scott, congratulations, you have been accepted." ”
