Manila, the capital city of the Philippines and the largest port in history, is located on the east coast of Manila Bay, Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines, also known as "Little Luzon", and the natural excellent harbor - Manila Bay, which has been the shipping center and northern economic center of Southeast Asia since the beginning of the Age of Discovery. Moreover, at the first glance of this place, many people who have never been here are deeply attracted by the scenery here!

Due to its location in the Southern Hemisphere, it also belongs to the tropical monsoon climate, there are only two seasons a year, and November to June is hot and humid, which belongs to summer. July to October is the rainy season, wet and rainy.

To be honest, I don't like this climate very much, for me, the temperate climate is the most suitable for me, the four seasons are obvious, the climate is dry and refreshing, not like now, slimy, wet, extremely unpleasant! So from the moment I landed, I put down the demeanor and appearance that a gentleman should have, and put on big pants dyed with linen! Slippers are worn and trampled, and the whole society is blind!

But these young men—well, at least I'm certainly qualified to say so in my two lives combined—and they're having a great time! The Nine Ghosts didn't know where to buy a lot of fruit snacks, so the gang dragged me to a beach and yelled.

By the time you are seated, it will be getting dark. The phantom of palm trees at sunset, and the waves gently soothe the dark golden sand under the action of the tide. Not far away is the famous attraction of the later generations - a huge waterfall with a drop of more than 100 meters, and the vigorous waterfall crashes against the boulders, making a rhythmic and non-stop roaring sound. The beautiful scenery of the valley formed by the rock walls and tropical trees, and the heat gradually dissipating, make the air more cool, lying flat on the beach, with your eyes half-closed, it feels like a fairyland on earth!

I was lying on the beach with my eyes closed - Kite and Lan buried the sand on me when I squinted, and built a castle in the style of Dongying!

The others were eating and drinking on the side, and they were also very happy to watch these two nonsense.

I shook my head helplessly, these two guys! Forget it, let them mess around! After so much fighting and hard work before, there should be room for relief. I just felt so tired, lying here, buried by the warm sand, I fell asleep unconsciously!

I slept until I felt something cool on my face.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dark, and there was a dark figure in front of me, pouring something into my mouth...... Well, it's supposed to be fruit wine or something! Look at that slender figure, it's clearly this guy!

There was an equally slender guy in the back, whispering, "After feeding the cherry wine, I still want banana wine!" Ha ha! ”

Kite immediately lifted the sac, took another sac from Arashi's hand, and was ready to feed it to my mouth! I jumped to my feet, and these two guys were taken aback! Laughing and jumping away!

I screamed and chased after me, and the two guys didn't run anywhere else, but ran to the campfire on the beach as soon as they slipped away, and when they saw me chasing after me, they immediately picked up two skewers of meat that I didn't know who had grilled them, and handed them to me as if flattering, giggling: "Don't dare anymore!" Don't dare anymore! Sir, spare us! ”

Not to mention, after this afternoon's sleep, I'm really hungry! One of the biggest problems with sailing today is that it is difficult to eat fresh food at sea - there is no refrigeration system.

We set up a special compartment on the bottom floor of the cabin, and there were a lot of frozen meat and things like that—the ice was taken out of the underground ice cellar when it came out of Dongying. After sailing this way, it is basically all over. So we can't continue to preserve the fresh meat we stored, and we have stepped up to eat it a few days ago.

For a few days after that, we kept eating cured meats. It's okay to eat this cured meat occasionally, but after a long time, it makes people feel like wax. So when I smelled the aroma of this barbecue today, I suddenly moved my index finger, glared at the two of them, took the kebab from their hands, bit the front piece of meat on the left hand side with my mouth, turned my head, and took the piece of meat down.

I took a bite of it, and to be honest, the taste was very average and average, and I frowned, chewed something in my mouth, and asked vaguely, "Who grilled this meat skewer?" ”

Rakshin grinned and handed me a wine bag, and I quickly took a sip, which was supposed to be an alcoholic drink made from pineapples. I took a few sips of the meat in my mouth before I swallowed all the meat in my mouth - it was really not delicious!

Laxin smiled: "It seems that Mr. doesn't like to eat either!" But we experimented with it all afternoon, and I'm still the best at this barbecue or something! Sir, just pull out the flagpole from your chopsticks! ”

I shook my head helplessly. Anyway, the cook on our ship is a Dongying man, in fact, there have been several people before him, but the cooked food is ...... How to put it, it's always unsatisfactory.

Eat the food they cook, you can't eat the dead, but it's definitely not delicious, and the only role is to prolong life.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little worried, the road ahead is long, will I have to suffer from this unpalatable suffering every day? It was so painful!

I'm not a person who wants to indulge in the appetite, but I don't want to do it for a long time.

I took another sip of wine, didn't speak, shook my head with a wry smile, and sat down. The nine ghosts next to me immediately handed over something, and when I turned my head, it was a piece of dry food, and there was something like jam on it.

Thinking of the sweet dry biscuits, my stomach felt pantothenic acid, but I couldn't help it, it was better than the unpalatable barbecue in front of me! So I took it and met the nine ghosts and smiled bitterly.

I had just taken a bite when suddenly, I noticed that there seemed to be a person walking from the village behind me. He walked very lightly, and in a short time he walked from the shadow in the distance to him, and walked into the range of the firelight.

When I looked up, it was still a young man, about 1.7 meters tall, in his early twenties. The body is well-proportioned, the skin is a healthy brown color, and the strong muscles are exposed under the vest. A half-length of brown hair was tied diagonally with an earthy yellow band, which was tied up like a pineapple. When he saw me looking at him, he seemed to notice that I was the head of the place, and grinned at me, full of white teeth.

This young man's smile is very friendly, and when he smiles, his eyes are narrowed into two slits, which is very heartwarming to look at.

"Excuse me. Is the new fleet in the harbor yours? Mr? The young man asked. The voice is not loud, but it exudes sincerity. He speaks Chinese, but with an indescribable local flavor, which is very distinctive.

I glanced at him and smiled, "Yes! That's my fleet. Is there something you can do? Lad! ”

The young man looked at my face carefully and said with some surprise, "Oh! You are so young, sir! I thought the captain must be an old man, and I was very nervous before I came! I didn't expect you to be so young! ”

I thought the kid was very interesting, so I laughed and said, "Age doesn't mean anything." Tell us about your purpose! With that, I pointed to the open space across from me and motioned for him to sit down.

The young man sat down, and when he saw that there was still a lot of barbecue next to the bonfire, he pointed and laughed, "Can I eat a skewer?" ”

I nodded, pouted, and said, "Of course, you can eat them all!" After speaking, a burst of suppressed laughter sounded next to him, and the kite laughed even more. Laxin scratched his head in embarrassment.

The young man took a bite of the meat under our gaze, took a bite, and with an ugly smile on his face, he pouted at me and said, "Sir! No wonder you're so generous, it turns out ...... It turned out to be so unpalatable! ”

"Hahaha!" There was a burst of laughter in the camping area, and Lakshin's face was as red as a monkey's ass! He pointed at the young man and shouted, "If it's not delicious, don't eat it!" You guy! Who are you! "It's clear that I'm already angry!

The young man snorted, put the tail of the skewer back on the ground, rubbed his hands on his clothes, and said with a smile: "I'll hand over Mavi!" It's a cook! Well, my mother is from Daming, and my father is a local! But my parents died early, and I worked as a chef in a hotel in this town! ”

I let out an intrigued sigh and asked, "Are you a cook?" How's the craftsmanship? ”

Before Mavi could speak, Lakshin muttered, "Eighty percent of them are terrible in craftsmanship and were kicked out by the boss!" ”

Mavi narrowed her eyes and smiled very contentiously: "My craftsmanship is indeed not up to the royal standard, but there must be more merit than yours, I mean this wooden stick-like skewer!" ”
