Chapter 66: The Prequel of a Brave Heart (11)

At noon that day, Wallace helped the chef steam three pots of pastry, then washed his hands, and the two sat together and chatted.

Finally, he doesn't have to eat rice anymore------ in fact, his favorite way to eat bread is tomato sauce.

The dough becomes sweeter the more you chew, and the tomato sauce is sour and appetizing.

At this time, Pan Xuezhong came to the kitchen to find Wallace in person.

Pan Xuezhong asked directly: "Wallace, I heard that you can speak a lot of local dialects?" ”

Wallace stood up politely and replied, "Sir, there will only be four or five -------."

"Well, you're still talking about?!"

"------ black friends have more variety, because they come from different tribes, and I only have one or two of them."

"Haha, you white man is really a talent------ do it with me, ------ give you thirty yuan a month, how about it, I didn't hear such a high salary, right?"

Pan Xuezhong was proud of his generosity, and the black-and-white laborers had not earned such a high wage!

"------Thank you, sir, for your kindness, I'm just going back to my hometown, I'm sorry I can't serve you."

Pan Xuezhong glared at this guy who didn't know what to do, who knew that this guy was not afraid of his eyes, and still looked back at himself with neither humble nor arrogant eyes.

Damn, when did the white ghost dare to talk to us like this------ Oh, by the way, this guy was a member of the army of Liuqiu, and he is still a man with military achievements.

Pan Xuezhong smiled, took the initiative to lower his figure, invited him to the deck, and began to talk seriously.

No one knew what they were talking about, but when they arrived at Happiness Island, everyone could see that Pan Xuezhong's face had been very unhappy.

After the Jingwei arrived at the port of Xingfu Island, the Liuqiu Navy stationed on Xingfu Island was very happy, which represented the beginning of a new round of maritime trade season.

There were more than 300 of them, all of whom left the barracks and took the initiative to go to the port to help lift the goods.

Those, most of them are their supplies.

The boatswain and Wallace also went ashore, and they had to buy some necessary supplies, and they were still a dozen days away from the Cairo area of Egypt.

Happiness Island is now a small town, with only a few thousand households, including Hui people and Tianzhu people.

According to the captain of the navy here, a few years ago, those people were just scattered along the seashore, mostly houses made of stones------ which were permeable to water and wind, but not sunlight.

Women and children herd sheep, men fish, and life is very miserable.

After the Liuqiu Navy decided to use this as a naval base, they bought about four square kilometers of land in the western part of Xingfu Island with a beach from the patriarchs and elders of the village with hundreds of cotton cloths and some matches and kerosene lamps.

After they quickly built an airstrip and a naval barracks, the locals were envious and asked the navy to help them build nice houses.

The captain of the navy took the opportunity to gather them together, found a flat land, and built it on the scale of a small town------ of course, the locals had to work as laborers.

Happiness Island is better than Bahrain Island in that there are ready-made small rivers and streams, and there is some precipitation from time to time.

Even on the plains of Happiness Island, some aquatic plants can grow on the slopes, although they are not abundant, but after all.

Wallace saw that there were some strange-looking trees on the hillside, like clusters of parasols, and like large mushrooms, all their leaves growing upward.

The boatswain once came, and he said that if you went further into the mountains of the island, you would find frankincense and dracaena trees, which were spices of great value, or there would not be so many merchants in the town who were waiting to buy them.

The sandy beaches on Happiness Island are white and delicate, stretching for dozens of kilometers.

The water here is even bluer than the sky.

In the evening, the captain of the navy team hosted a banquet for all the personnel on the Jingwei, which actually roasted more than a dozen goats at the same time.

The captain of the navy said that the aquatic plants here may be due to the salt, and the goat meat here is delicate and not fishy, especially suitable for roasting whole sheep.

They even invited some merchants from the island, as well as local elders ------ children who ran around the crowd on the vast beach, laughing from time to time.

It's a rare night here.

More than a dozen whole sheep drip oil on the campfire, exuding a charming meaty aroma.

After waiting for them to be roasted, the people cut them into strips, put them on a porcelain plate, and pour the wine in a large porcelain bowl, and they began to eat the meat and drink the wine in large gulps.

The captain of the navy first toasted a bowl of wine to the old captain, saying that he was grateful to a voyager like the old captain for bringing all kinds of living materials here, and if there were no maritime merchants in this world, it would be really unimaginable poverty.

The old captain also returned a bowl, saying that he was grateful to the Liuqiu Navy for building a naval base here, which not only eliminated pirates, but also made it easy for passing ships to purchase daily necessities, especially fresh water.

The captain of the navy squad looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "We have built a small reservoir here, and reclaimed tens of thousands of acres of grain and vegetable fields. ”

At this time, one of the elders here may have been drunk and began to sing, and soon the other elders followed suit.

The captain of the navy listened quietly for a while, and said: "They thank Allah for bringing them the reservoir, bringing grain and vegetables, and bringing them a rich life------ which we clearly bringed.

Without us, their children wouldn't even be able to wear clothes, and even the adults would be covered with only a piece of cloth! ”

The old captain remained silent when he heard this, he knew too well the characteristics of the Hui people.

He asked, "Why are there so few blacks here?" I didn't see a few ------ on the street."

"We all sent them away, and the manual work here is usually done with the locals------ so that they can also earn some money!"

The old captain could hear the resentment in his breath.

The owner of Liuqiu Island, Zhang Island, did not allow the Liuqiu army to participate in the labor trafficking work, and no matter how easy the business was, the Liuqiu Navy could only watch it.

When the bonfire was about to be extinguished, several people carried baskets of bowl-sized conch shells and buried them in the fire one by one.

The captain of the navy team said with a smile: "The new way of eating invented on this island here, roasted conch, is absolutely delicious!" ”

After waiting for the pile to cool down, they pulled out the conch, and after breaking the shell, a fresh smell came to their nostrils!

Wallace ate one in a few bites, it was so delicious!

He was also pleasantly surprised to find that the Liuqiu Navy here actually had all kinds of skin colors, and it seemed that they were all regular navy, not a stormtrooper group!

He found an opportunity to talk to them, and it turned out that they were the second batch of retired personnel in the Stormtrooper Brigade, and he chose to continue in the army, and only after selection did he join the navy.

Wallace nodded, genuinely happy for them, not to mention income, it is happiness to be able to do the job you want to do.

After Pan Xuezhong ate a few pieces of roast mutton, he had no intention of chatting with them and left.

This is where he will start again, and he has to plan it out.

PS: I fractured my femoral neck last year, and it hasn't grown well until this year, and there is still a risk of necrosis, so the update is a little slower, forgive me.

I've had too many misfortunes.

Thanks to book friend Wang Xuanbin and Australian Lao Wu for their rewards.
