Chapter 62: The Gift of Priest Nader

Originally, it had been Father John who had been talking to Zhou Chong, and the priest Nader had been silent, giving people the impression that he was not good at words, but he did not expect that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he gave him a gift, which surprised him even for a few days.

However, since there were gifts to take, Zhou Zhong was not polite, and he also wanted to see what kind of gifts the Nader priest would give him. Xie Lingyun next to him seemed to be very curious about Priest Nader's gift, and walked to Zhou Chong's side lightly, turning his head to look at the gift in Zhou Chong's hand.

No, when Xie Lingyun first saw the surface of the gift, her face turned a little blushing, because she saw a picture painted on the surface of the box in Zhou Chong's hand, a woman with a bare chest and breasts was breastfeeding a child, and she was a girl who had not left the pavilion when she saw this kind of picture, so she was naturally a little embarrassed, and she turned her head and didn't dare to look at it again.

It's a pity that at the moment when Xie Lingyun twisted his head, Zhou Zhong opened the flat box and took a look, then immediately closed it and put it in his arms, and said quietly on his face: "Thank you for the gift from Priest Nader, now I'll talk about the New World!" ”

Priest Nader was also disappointed when he saw that Zhou Zhong didn't seem to value the gift very much, and now he heard that the other party was still asking about the New World, so he began to cheer up and tell all the things he knew about the Tao, so as to gain Zhou Chong's favor, after all, their fate was now in the hands of the other party.

Having spent more than two years in the New World, Priest Nader was well acquainted with the conditions there, but most of his activities in the New World were on the islands of the Caribbean, and only occasionally did he actually make his way to the New World. This is because most of the Spanish strongholds are concentrated on relatively safe islands, and although caravans often enter the mainland, due to the limited time, the Spanish have not been able to penetrate too deeply.

In addition to the development of the Spaniards on the American continent, Priest Nader also introduced many customs of the New World, such as some novel animals, plants and local customs, etc., but unfortunately these Zhou Zhong knew more than Priest Nader, so he was not interested at all, but Xie Lingyun listened to it with relish.

After asking the question he wanted to ask, Zhou Zhong felt that the two priests might still be useful, so he asked Xie Lingyun to take them to Shuangyu Port. Xie Lingyun also seemed to be very interested in these two Francophone people, so she nodded and agreed, and asked Uncle Hei behind her to arrange for Father John and the two to rest in the place where the shipwrights lived, and then she and Zhou Zhong also said goodbye and returned to their rooms.

Just as Zhou Chong closed the door of his cabin, his calm face immediately became excited, turned around and ran to the lamp to take out the flat box, and then gently opened the lid of the box with trembling hands, only to see that there was a small piece of bark inside, and Zhou Zhong couldn't tell what kind of bark it was, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that at the bottom of the box, there was a layer of flat round seeds, with Zhou Chong's countless experience in eating chili peppers in his previous life, plus Priest Nader himself said that it was brought from America, so Zhou Chong could be concluded, These seeds are definitely pepper seeds, no doubt.

Chili peppers, think about this thing Zhou Zhong felt extremely excited, first he is a super spicy person, with chili peppers can satisfy their appetite, but this is still secondary, the key is that Daming does not have chili peppers now, if he can breed chili peppers, and then make chili products as a high-grade condiment exclusive sales, the profits are huge, it is crazy to think about.

Of course, as a kind of crop, it is impossible for chili peppers to never spread out, no matter how secret Zhou Zhong is, I am afraid that after others see the benefits of chili peppers, they will try their best to get seeds. No, even if he only controls the production of chili peppers for a few years, then the profits of these years are already crazy, and the key depends on how he operates?

Thinking of the benefits that the chili pepper in his hand can bring to himself, Zhou Zhong can't help but get excited, he has agreed to cooperate with the Xie family in the production of soap, but the Xie family wants to take up eighty percent of the profits, and the condition is to help Zhou Chong receive the hands left by his father Zhou Hai, although the remaining two percent of the profits are also a lot, but in the future, Zhou Chong wants to support the people in his hands, but also to expand the business, this money is probably really not enough, and for the time being, he can't think of any way to get money quickly.

Thinking that when he was worried about the lack of money, the world suddenly fell such a gold brick, Zhou Zhong couldn't help but happily hugged the box and kissed a few bites, and then carefully checked the pepper seeds inside, and found that although these seeds have been put for nearly two years, they look good on the outside, adding up to dozens of seeds, the number is a little less, but it doesn't matter, it's a big deal to spend an extra year cultivating seeds.

Carefully hid the box close to his body, and then lay on the bed dreaming of making a fortune, and finally fell asleep in a daze. When the fleet set sail again the next morning, Zhou Zhong ate another unpalatable breakfast on board, and when it was almost noon, the legendary smuggling base Shuangyu Port finally appeared in front of his eyes.

The Xie family's ship has not yet entered Shuangyu Port, Zhou Zhong has already felt the prosperity of Shuangyu Port, only to see that around their fleet, large and small smuggling ships are constantly coming and going, sometimes when the boatmen on the ship meet acquaintances, they will also say hello loudly across the boat, by the way, chat a few words about which casino is the most expensive, or which brothel girl is the most energetic, etc., and these often cause a group of people to coax, and the words are even more unbearable, which is also one of the reasons why Xie Lingyun almost stayed in the cabin all the way.

In the vulgar laughter of the boatmen, the fleet slowly entered Shuangyu Port. As has been explained before, Shuangyu Port is not just one port, but the collective name of many ports, the most important of which are three major ports, namely North Port, South Port and West Port, of which the north and south ports are located on the larger Liuheng Island, and the West Port is located on the smaller Fodu Island.

The first one to appear in front of Zhou Chong was Beigang, only to see that the entire port was densely packed, all of which were all kinds of ships, most of which were Ming merchants' Fu boats, Guangzhou ships, etc., but there were also many ships that looked somewhat similar to Fu boats, but they looked a little rough, Zhou Zhong asked the boatmen around him to know that those were the sea ships made by the Japanese and Koreans imitating Fu boats.

After the Xie family's ship entered Shuangyu Port, it did not sail into the first Beigang to pass, but came to the farther Nangang to anchor along the Shuangyu Gate, although Xie Lingyun did not explain, but Zhou Zhong could also guess that the Xie family's strength was likely to be in the Nangang area.

Sure enough, after the Xie family's fleet entered Nangang, a small boat immediately stepped forward to meet the pilot, and then the entire fleet entered a berth on the right side of the middle of the port, and as soon as the ship stopped, someone immediately boarded the ship to greet them, to be precise, it should be to welcome Xie Lingyun.

"Sister Lingyun is here, why haven't you come to see your sister for so long?" I saw a well-built girl rushing to the boat with a brisk stride, her complexion was slightly dark, and her face was full of joy.

This girl looks eighteen or nineteen years old, extremely tall, estimated at more than 1.80 meters by circumference, and not only tall, but also extremely fit, with a high chest and round buttocks, two long legs and firm firmness, which makes people feel a wave in their hearts at first sight, and can't help but want to take a few more looks. In addition, the appearance is also very exquisite, under a pair of slender eyebrows on the face of the melon seed, the slightly prismatic eyes are extremely heroic, although there is no delicate beauty of a classical girl, but there is a liveliness of a sunny beautiful girl in later generations.

After seeing too many classical beauties like Bang'er and Xie Lingyun, he suddenly met a sunny girl with such an attractive figure here, and Zhou Zhong couldn't help but take a few more looks, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a very dirty voice beside him: "Brother, this girl is beautiful, right?" ”

"Beautiful, really beautiful!" Zhou Zhong was lingering on the girl's chest and thighs with an "appreciative" gaze, and immediately replied casually when he heard the voice around him. But then he felt that something was wrong, and when he turned his head, he saw a black and bright smiling face in front of him, which made him also startled, and he took a step back to find that the other party was a relatively dark young man, who looked like he was in his twenties, and his appearance was also thoughtful, but it was too dark, coupled with snow-white teeth, so he had a feeling of black and bright when he smiled.

Before Zhou Zhong could ask about the identity of the other party, Xie Lingyun came out of the cabin at this time, and when she saw the bodybuilding girl on the deck, she immediately walked a few steps happily and said, "Cousin, I knew that you would come to pick me up!" ”

Compared with Xie Lingyun's elegance, the bodybuilding girl she called her cousin seemed extremely enthusiastic, I saw her step forward and hug Xie Lingyun, and then turned around on the deck a few times, Xie Lingyun screamed a few times in fright, which made the bodybuilding girl giggle, and then the two cousins who had been reunited for a long time began to chatter non-stop.

"Brother, you are really good-eyed, it's been a long time since I've met someone with such poisonous eyes as yours, don't look at my sister who is a little taller, and her skin is a little darker, but in fact, she is a very virtuous woman......"

However, just when the young man Hei Liang just said the word "virtuous", he didn't know what Xie Lingyun said, and the bodybuilding woman opened her mouth to let out a series of hearty laughter, her white teeth shining in the sun, and she didn't have the slightest awareness of smiling without showing her teeth.

"Cough~cough~" Seeing his sister's faceless behavior, the young man couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, coughed a few times and said cheekily: "Occasionally when she meets a friend, she can't help it, but in general, my sister is still a very elegant girl......"

Before the black young man's voice fell, Xie Lingyun might have said that Father John sneaked onto the boat last night, but the bodybuilder girl didn't finish listening to her words, so she slapped her face on the side of the boat and scolded: "What? There is a bastard who dares to run to your cousin's boat and see that your aunt doesn't pick his dog skin! ”

The face of the black and bright young man was almost green at this time, if it was someone else, I am afraid that he would have drawn a knife and cut people, but the other party was his sister, and there was an old man on it, because he could only endure the urge to vomit blood, and once again showed a crying smile to Zhou Chong and said: "Brother, since you are so discerning, and you should not be married yet, so I don't know what you think of my sister, if it feels good, I will tell our old man, I will let you live in the cave within three days!" ”
