Chapter 380: Returning with a Full Load (Updating the Helmsman's "Zhu Di's Paperweight")
In fact, on the beach where Lin Sen and the others docked, there were many spices that had been picked, nutmeg, cloves and pepper, which were the favorite goods of the Tang people, and some other coconuts were thrown everywhere.
Apparently the big cannibals had left it here when they were busy getting on board to prepare for battle, and they remembered throwing it on a higher place, not being carried away by the tide, and planning to come back from the battle to pick up these valuable things.
It can only be said that Lin Sen and they came at the right time, and those big cannibals are equivalent to giving them free labor.
As for how many have been put on the ship, Lin Sen can only try not to think about it, because the more he thinks about it, the more heartache it will become.
It's all the money at your fingertips, and it's all gone down the drain with those sunken big food merchant ships.
However, at that time, the situation really didn't allow them to think about it so much, naturally how to quickly eliminate the opponent, how to come, how could they have the heart to worry about the spices that might just be brought on the ship.
Besides, there are still several island spices waiting for them to harvest, and that loss is really insignificant compared to killing the Great Food Merchant and enjoying the secret for himself.
After putting all these spices in the bamboo baskets and rattan baskets that had been prepared long ago, Lin Sen and the others had to row a small boat back to the Ping'an twice, and then they could put all the valuable goods they could see on the beach.
When I returned to the island again, and actually headed towards the scented woods, all the crew members couldn't help but smile from the bottom of their hearts.
The spices that have been sent to the ship alone are enough to make them live a good life, not to mention that a better prospect awaits them, so they are naturally full of energy.
Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Sen had to come forward and pour some cold water on them.
The spices are not running away for the time being, but there are still big cannibals there may be ambushing, good days are just around the corner, but not having the life to enjoy is the saddest.
So everyone still cheered up and paid attention to vigilance, at this time someone touched it, and it was too worthless to die.
After receiving Lin Sen's reminder, everyone's expressions were grim, and they each picked up their weapons, so that they would not be completely relaxed as before.
In fact, Lin Sen also knew that it was too late for those people to flee for their lives, and they didn't run back to find death, this possibility was not too great.
Carefully find a corner to squat, expecting Lin Sen that they can't find themselves to be more likely, after all, there are coconuts on the island, and it seems that there is also fresh water, as well as cassava, which can be seen on the beach before, and it can completely allow a few people to survive. If there is hope of survival, no one should be willing to run to death.
But if you're not afraid of 10,000, he's afraid of what if, he still wants to bring all of these subordinates back, after all, they can be regarded as their own team that started in navigation, and one less is a big loss for the Lin family who lacks background.
Probably due to the relatively closed environment of the island itself, there really wasn't much danger along the way, and the more threatening ones were poisonous snakes and insects.
As for the spices, it's so easy to find, follow the fragrance, and you can easily see these cute little things.
As the origin of nutmeg, it was so common on this island that Lin Sen had to divide his men into several squads and transport them to the Ping'an over and over again, so as not to carry these things all the time.
At the same time, Lin Sen also discovered this island, which can be used as an important supply base, there are also a lot of coconut trees on the island, and they have also found a source of fresh water.
There are also many edible wild vegetables, which are as conspicuous as fireflies in the dark for Lin Sen, who has a plant transformation system.
Collecting so much food and drink is even enough to make up for all the consumption of Lin Sen and them on the way here, and they don't have to worry about the supplies on the way back, but they need to worry more about how to make more space to store the spices that are everywhere.
In the end, they had to start picking and choosing spices as much as possible, and they chose those things that were smaller in size and more valuable to bring back, such as pepper.
If it weren't for Lin Sen's reminder, they needed to leave some seeds for them so that they wouldn't be overdeveloped, and I am afraid they would not have planned to get other spices back.
Before it got dark, they stopped their tired and happy gathering.
On weekdays, everyone thinks that the huge Ping An is so full of them in a day's work, and this is still a case where some food and fresh water reserves are selectively abandoned.
It can be seen how rich the local spice resources are, and it can also be seen how desperate Lin Sen is doing.
There's no way, grabbing a handful is money, grabbing another handful is a piece of silver, who will do this work, he will be so motivated, he can't stop at all.
When it was dark, they simply had a carnival on the beach.
In addition to the coconut and cassava that are common on the island, there are also some surplus wild vegetables they brought with them, and a hard dish is served, and a huge saltwater crocodile is roasted on the campfire, constantly exuding the smell of meat mixed with various spices.
There are many spices this time, and they are capricious!
Of course, this unlucky saltwater crocodile is not the one who has confirmed the name of the man-eating crocodile before, but the one that Lin Sen and they hunted again, which can be regarded as the fish that slipped through the net in the saltwater crocodile extinction operation.
This is an exaggeration, but there are less than a hundred saltwater crocodiles.
However, the thought of so many crocodile skins being wasted really made Lin Sen feel a little distressed, so at the moment, Lin Sen took a lot of effort to come up with some plant tanning agents and dealt with them well.
Even if it is not made into a leather jacket, leather shoes, or a leather wallet, just this crocodile skin more than six meters long is placed there, and it looks absolutely domineering.
Where have Datang seen such a big thing, Zhu Polong's thing, it's only half the size of this guy when it dies, and it's not an order of magnitude at all.
While cutting off the roasted crocodile meat, while sprinkling spices and continuing to roast, just like this, this big guy with almost 4,000 catties not only fed all the crew, but also left hundreds of catties of crocodile jerky, which can be taken back by the crew as a souvenir.
Of course, it's more likely that they'll be killed on the way by using it as a snack for themselves.
The next day, after the Ping'an, which had become energetic again, finally counted the supplies and confirmed that the fire on the shore had been extinguished, so as not to burn down the spice forest that represented countless wealth, with a full harvest and infinite hope for the future, he embarked on the return journey with a high spirit.
It's time to go back to Canton!
