Ten minutes later, Zhu Beiguo, Liu Yishuang, and Guan Hongyu, under the guidance of Chen Dian, finally came to a small village on the edge of the jungle.

In the middle of the small square in the center of the village is a small wooden church with a wooden spire, and there is a towering wooden frame at the entrance of the church, on which there is a bronze bell, and a gust of wind blows, and the bell rope hangs and flutters in the wind, and occasionally shakes the bronze bell to make a soft buzzing sound.

When Zhu Beiguo and his entourage passed by the door of the church, they glanced inside from the outside of the lintel, and it seemed that someone was cleaning inside, but this small church seemed to be very lonely, and no one seemed to be praying in the church, obviously, this is not only the church, but also the place where the villagers gathered.

Seeing strangers entering the village, a Han village chief ---- the Spaniard-appointed Kapitan appeared in the small square, it was an old Han man, who had a gray hair, no bun and no bundle, and a long green cloth straight-shirted man dragged to the top of his feet, revealing only a pair of straw sandals worn barefoot.

The old man was already a little trembling, his long hair was trembling with his body, and when he saw the guests coming, he made a gesture from afar, and Zhu Beiguo and his party saw it, so they quickly stopped on the spot, bowed down and bowed deeply, saying that they would be disturbed.

Not far behind the old man, a group of women and children dressed half-earthly and half-man stood there quietly watching the visitors, some of them looked curious, and whispered to each other, and from time to time there was a burst of hip-hop fighting.

And when the women's voices were a little loud, the old man immediately turned around and scolded the group of women a few times, and the women and children stopped a little.

Zhu Beiguo and his entourage are used to seeing this scene, there is no way, they are handsome, they always attract women's attention, to be honest, sometimes it is quite annoying, but they still have to keep a smile on their faces, and their behavior should be as polite as possible.

In the past, Gu Jin repeatedly emphasized when he gave lessons to everyone, he told the crew that people in this era attach great importance to a person's appearance, if a person is tall and handsome, most of the people around him will be in awe, if the behavior is still very elegant and different from ordinary people, then it will be more respected, and people will directly classify you as a nobleman.

However, the audience didn't quite understand Captain Gu's words at the beginning, and it wasn't until after going to sea that they found that their appearance and physical condition were simply standing out from the crowd!

It is no wonder, because in this era, even in the south of the Ming Dynasty, where the average living standard of the people is more developed and recognized than that of the rest of the world, the neighborhood is full of short people, people with sharp-beaked monkey gills and crooked teeth and crooked eyes, and all kinds of stunting and lack of nutrition in the population can be seen all the time.

Of course, the situation of the nobles is much better, but because of the lack of knowledge and means, according to the evaluation of the traversers, it is actually not much better.

Therefore, wherever he goes, he will be regarded as a noble person by ordinary people, always attracting the attention of men and women, which is also a very normal situation, but these enthusiastic women are too crooked in the eyes of the crew, unless they are young, but they must also be in the cardamom stage, as the saying goes, the cardamom tip head is in early February...... Forget it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to pass the trial if I talk too much, so I'll stop and get down to business.

Zhu Beiguo explained his intention to Jiabidan, the old man was very happy, speaking inarticulate Fujian, under the joint translation of Chen Dian and Liu Yishuang, Zhu Beiguo finally understood, the old man had been reported in advance, and now he was preparing, he had already understood the villagers just now, and those with yellow wax could take it here to show the Australians.

After a while, sure enough, a few women came to the door of the chapel with a dustpan on their backs, Zhu Liuguan and the three of them came forward to inspect the goods, and found that the quality was OK, although compared with the purchase in Macao, the impurities were a little more, and the color was not very positive, obviously this was due to the incomplete treatment of the foam during boiling.

But it's really understandable, after all, people originally used it for their own use, and they didn't intend to sell it for silver.

After Zhu Beiguo finished reading the goods, he looked up at the long-haired Jiabidan again, gritted his teeth and quoted a number: Based on this dustpan yellow wax, he will give two Spanish eagles, which is only equivalent to a quarter of the purchase price in Macao and Holo Port.

Although Zhu Beiguo quoted the price, he felt quite guilty about it, because such an offer was not much different from grabbing it for nothing, of course, Zhu Beiguo was waiting for the other party to make a counteroffer.

Unexpectedly, however, the old man actually laughed, and he shouted at the woman with the dustpan, and then Yi whimpered and said something.

At this time, Chen Dian told Zhu Beiguo that it was true that the people in the village were very happy with Brother Zhu's offer, and a tuft of yellow wax could be sold for two silver yuan, which had never happened in the past, and this price allowed the people in the village to take out all the yellow wax.

Well, Zhu Beiguo was also very happy to hear it, he immediately put away his guilt, and immediately asked the old man to organize the villagers to send the goods to the wharf trestle, and his own side was responsible for inspecting the goods, Liu Yishuang was responsible for supervising the transportation, and Guan Hongyu was sent back to the Pride to take the Eagle Ocean.

The business lasted from morning to afternoon, and when the sun went down, the Pride received 400 kilograms of yellow wax one after another, and almost all the yellow wax in the village was scavenged.

Zhu Beiguo promised to come tomorrow morning, and they would not see each other, so the two sides did not mention it.

Hearing that the village was going to have a treat, the crew unexpectedly said that they were not interested, because everyone knew what the level of food and cooking was like in this era, even in the relatively prosperous Macau, many meals in the street restaurants were difficult to swallow, after all, in this era, spicy ingredients and condiments were not very rich, and even the salt was yellow and full of impurities.

So one can imagine what to eat in this standard backcountry village?

So Li Sanduo suggested, let's just tie this good fate to the end, there are still a lot of old bacon and salted fish on the boat, although the things are very ordinary, but the seasoning in this is very authentic and rich, it must be better than the daily taste of the villagers, these things are also a little greasy, if you are willing to go to the banquet, you will bring it to others by the way, in addition, carry two jars of sweet potato wine over, after all, there are nearly 100 households in the village, and the estimated population is also hundreds. Otherwise, it won't look good.

Of course, everyone had no opinion after hearing it, but only the four brothers Liu Yishuang and Ren Ke Ailush, Peng Qiang, Hu Xiaolin and a few others signed up, the former four were hard-pulled by Zhu Beiguo, because these four could be interpreters, and the last four were purely on the boat for a long time and wanted to go out to breathe.

Nothing was said all night.

In the morning of the next day, Zhu Beiguo thought about going to the banquet, so he got up early, and just after washing, he just walked to the deck, and met the brothers of Puhai Xinduang Nursery who had just been on duty, and said hello to the brothers.

At this time, Xiaoshan was drinking porridge, and when he saw Zhu Beiguo coming in, he casually handed him a telegram, saying that it was sent by your wife Cao Limei, and that she wanted you to pay attention to your body.

Zhu Beiguo took the telegram and read it for a long time before saying at the end of the telegram that he should pay attention to his body and not get sick, and said another sentence at the end of the telegram: The child is very good, he can already babble and speak, although no one can understand what the child is saying, but he did speak, which is worth celebrating.

In fact, the core content of the telegram is the previous part, Cao Limei asked Zhu Beiguo to go to the Han people to inquire whether there is a kind of black and dark red rock nearby, this kind of stone has crystalline particles, usually found in the section of the stream river, if so, try to bring a few pieces back.

Zhu Beiguo looked at the telegram and sighed helplessly, knowing that this was Cao Limei's occupational disease, and asked himself to do a mineral survey for her, but the telegram did not say what kind of mineral, but Zhu Beiguo vaguely remembered that there was relevant information in the computer data room, and there seemed to be minerals such as nickel and iron in Mindanao, which were said to have large reserves and were easy to mine.
